I use the HTC automatically upgraded my phone to upgrade to 4.0.3, but my company's software only in the operation of the 2.3.6 version, would like to ask whether there are ways to drop back to the 2.3.6 version it?
I think you have to root it and delock the bootloader after that you have to install the RUU for your device and then relock the bootloader but I dont think your company will allow this becouse you lose warranty by doing this. You will only get it back if you relock the bootloader and erase the Root.
Theres no way to go back from official ICS to gingerbread untill we can S-Off and flash the old hboot back.

If you are not unlocked and the HTC software upgrade went through, you should contact your system admin and let them know what happened. Perhaps it is time for them to update their system? After all, if you root your phone, you will lose your warranty.

I just received a system update on monday 13th feb in india on my htc salsa. The title read Twitter n security fix.
Now that HTC has released this update does the process to get the Salsa unlocked and rooted change?
I mean earlier the rom version was different.
Further can someone post step by step instruction of how to install Iconic & Iconic S -on HTC salsa (its not unlocked nor rooted.) i know there are steps to unlock and root. i just want to know if the steps have changed after this update.If we should skip any step.
Finally will HTC salsa get android 2.3.5? HTC chacha has got it..y not salsa?
the ruu being updated,u can now get your salsa bootloader unlocked from htcdev.com (official way to void your warranty )
ONCE U GET UR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED,THE PROCESS TO ROOT THE DEVICE SHOULD REMAIN SAME IDEALLY.MOST OF THE ACTIVE SALSA USERS HERE ON XDA HAVE UNLOCKED IT UNOFFICIALLY SO I GUESS U LL HAVE VERY FEW OPTIONS TO KNOW WHICH STEPS CHANGE AND WHICH DONOT !!
BEST WAY WOULD BE TO TRY IT YOURSELF (OBVIOUSLY AT UR OWN RISK) THOUGH PPL WILL BE HERE TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS IF U FACE ANY .GUD LUCK.

i updated the rom and after the update phone just broke down. now WIFI is not working and the keypad is acting funny too. the display is kinda wobbly almost all the time. i did a factory reset. that didnt solve it either. dont know wat to do. is there a way to uninstall the update? mine is not rooted
my wifes wildfire did the exact same thing!
think your best off rooting and moving roms matey
Even I got the software update... i just downloaded and while it is installing it stuck on restart page.. later i removed the battery and restarted worked as normal.. but it still the update is not installed... I tried 3-4 times still no luck to get that update..
I had unlocked the boot loader through HTCDEV.COM
thats because you can't have the ott updates if you have rooted and unlocked your phone.
if.....you left it normal got your update then rooted and booted your phone..it would have worked.
alright..i've got this phone for around 2 months now.. and my hands are itchy
i had an x10 before this and i was flashing it like crazy..
however.. this is new to me... so ... what software do i use to back up stock up?
incase something happen i can reverse it back to not warn the warranty?
thank you

IMO best backup is CWM's own nandroid, just for ease of backup and restore. Obviously you would have to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery before you could use it though.
Don't worry you can unlock bootloader, root your phone and flash whatever ROM you want, and if anything goes wrong , you can just relock your bootloader and install the correspondent stock RUU
Check this thread it contains all RUUs :

If your not sure what Region you have download "CID Getter" from the market and search for your RUU version
Hope this helps

First relock your bootloader, then flash an official gingerbread RUU.exe for your country , after that check for update and update it normally

You need to unroot the device mate so factory data reset in settings should wipe all off and reset phone back to stock

Rule number one of rooting: don't take OTA updates

You'd have to flash the stock recovery. There's one floating around in the development section

I Recently Bought an Htc one (M7) {running android 4.3} from an electronics shop well 4.4 Kitkat Just came out so I was all excited to update to check out all the changes... sadly I was mistaken. The previous owner had tried to root the phone so im stuck with a phone that is "Tampered" "Unlocked"
with "s-on" not to bad right? well the recovery on the phone is Team win project recovery... and the phone is not rooted
I want to return the phone to stock or at least beable to get normal ota updates
Can some one give me a detailed step by step walkthrough of how to switch the phones recovery back to stock im not very tech savy in this field

Its a Tmobile phone is there one for tmobile?
and doesnt that require s-off?
well the ruu I tried wouldnt even run on my Laptop
There are some T-Mobile RUU's. Check the T-Mobile forum. Specifically this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496074
Me personally I would check to see what HBOOT version is on there and if it's lower than 1.57, go S-OFF before doing anything else. Then just use TWRP to flash a stock or stock-ish 4.4 ROM and never mind OTA's.

Thank you guys im looking further into it. Does the phone need to be rooted to flash a rom or just have the bootloader unlocked?
For kit Kat it needs to be s-OFF. Let's get that out of the way first.
And some s-OFF methods require a rooted ROM to work as I recall. So it's already getting complicated.
But a typical custom Rom doesn't *need* root, in fact after flashing you will discover it *gives* you root.
Going that route requires work and some reading. Then again, getting an RUU to run successfully does too.
Basically the situation you''re in is not horrible, but to go all the way forward (S-OFF Kit Kat with ability to do anything you want in the future) or all the way back (totally locked down stock system capable only of accepting OTA's ) will require work either way.

So basicaly it may be simpler if I...
1 s-off
2 download rom
2.5 put on phone memory
3 go to team win recovery
4 Click install and choose said rom?
is that the basics of it?
if I want the least amount of trouble?
Also I guess what makes this most confusing for me is the non stock recovery
and to use fire water for the s-off I need to remove htc sync from the phone?
I feel im doing more work and stressing than i should be?
Yes Im quite Noobish..
Pretty much yes.
There could be adventures along the way, but I think this outcome would position you well for the future.
The biggest question is how old is your HBOOT.
There is no S-OFF for 1.57 and existing exploits for 1.56 don't always work.
If you can get S-OFF, you can do anything, including a) destroying your phone by mistake; b) changing your mind later and going back to S-ON; and, my personal favorite, c) destroying your phone in the act of trying to go back to S-ON (due to modified/ damaged HBOOT partition).
If you can't get S-ON, well, see if you can get back to stock.
Occasionally you are truly stuck and can neither go forward nor backward.
Which in your case is not so bad. 4.3 works great. Honestly plenty of people here are trying to go *back* to 4.3 after trying 4.4.
With S-OFF you can always do that. S-ON, not so much..

Yeah.. now i have a pretty blue screen that once every 10 minutes or so will flash the google logo so yup bricked...
That would qualify as an "adventure". Still, it sounds like something less than "bricked".
See if you can enter HBOOT (hold down volume-down and power buttons for a few seconds or if you're in a boot loop , just hold down volume-down as phone is booting up).
If so, you can select fastboot and you should have the option to power down. That should give the battery a rest and give you time to think.
At some point you need to have the android tools fastboot and adb set up on your computer.
When you do, enter HBOOT, select fastboot (with phone plugged into computer via USB) and run the command fastboot getvar all.
Post the results here.
The first post of this thread doesn't really contain enough detail for others to help you otherwise.
