This is intended to be like this! Just remember, it's the same as 1.28, it's a custom HBoot so it's normal to be different version as it is a different thing...
so i treat it 1.28.6667? many thanks

Nope, not possible unless you have S-Off.

He probably got while still on hboot 1.44 (pre June 2013), and then just upgraded the firmware (including hboot to 1.54), that would not change S-Off status.

Exactly that ^
bobs ur uncle, fanny's ur aunt etc..........................
I guess it would be a good idea to post some pointers regarding this issue.
If you're s-on and on fw 1.54, you can't use revone to s-off.
Since you can't s-off, you are limited to flashing only RUUs that are compatible with your CID AND same or higher fw than you currently have on your device.
So to sum it all up, if you are on a higher fw than 1.44 and s-on, you are stuck there. The only possible way to s-off might be using a java card but I personally wouldn't go that way, even if you found some place that can do it.

So if going from 1.55 back to 1.44 is not possible. And Getting S-OFF with 1.55 is not possible.
Would Sprint be able to reflash my phone with either a working 1.55 or 1.44?

Try to s-off your phone with hboot 1.54 using rumrunner.
I'm running converted GE with 1.54 Google Hboot on my AT&T M7 (S-Off)
in order to go back to stock with the RUU I have to first load the 2.17 firmware Vomer provided in his thread.
If I don't do that I get error 155 when using the RUU.
I lock my bootloader before running it.
What am I missing. I thought S-off and SuperCID bypassed the checks and RUU's just worked.
Thanks for any advice.
Why are you locking your bootloader? You don't need to do that with s-off, I thought.
I wonder if there is some sort of check in the GE bootloader that isn't s-on/s-off dependent.

I found RUU failed with it unlocked.
I'm very confused at this point and just wonder if HTC changed things up on us.

Well, the new 1.54 hboot thwarts the s-off exploit, as you know. It could be HTC introduced some elements with it that restore some type of security checks. It might explain the weird things going on in the s-off threads.
I know there are some substantial differences between the 2.17 hboot and 2.24 hboot even though the version number is the same.

SO maybe it isn't me.
Good to know.
Should I be able to just flash a 1.44 HBoot to get around this? Because either the one I have is corrupt, or it doesn't work thanks to the new 1.54 HBoot.
Lucky for me, the 2.17 firmwre.zip installs and things work after that.

You might try sticking with the 2.17 hboot and see if that helps.

Must be the GE hboot or perhaps hboot 1.54 from 2.24 in general. I had a AT&T device with the new firmware and hboot 1.54 (from 2.17) I was able to run the RUU with s-off and bootloader still unlocked.
My fear is an ota for the ge would break the ability to downgrade hboot. The 2.17 works because it is the same 1.54
Okay I'm not sure about GE but when I had 2.24 and HBOOT 1.54.0000 I just ran the 1.28.401.7 RUU and it all went fine. I'm S-OFF of course.

I've calmed my own fears I was able to flash sneakyghost's provided 1.44Hboot. I'm safe.

Coming from full GE experience (1.54 hboot, GE recovery and ROM), I had to flash just the 1.44 hboot and relock my bootloader before the Dev RUU worked for me.

So clearly HTC changed something about what S-off means and what you can and can't do with it.
Does the S-OFF Moonshine method work with 1.54 HBOOT (As I see revone doesn't)? I'd like to change my CID as I really miss having the official English Google Keyboard in my Google Edition ROM however it keeps saying
ERROR: run distiller again and READ

You can if you've got hboot 1.44 but not with 1.54..... HTC closed the exploit with the updated firmware.
If you're s-off with 1.44 then upgrading the firmware won't lose you s-off.

Is it possible to downgrade your HBOOT? I'm guessing not but thought I'd ask! I also read everywhere that's its pretty risky and probably not worth it.

Even if you managed to once you rebooted the phone it would essentially brick, and to boot the new hboot you need to reboot.
Just going to have to wait

Apologies if this is a noob question or has been answered before, but I just ran the RUU and I retained S-off and my bootloader was still unlocked afterwards. Is this suppose to happen?
I'll try and make this short: I had HBOOT 1.44 (S-off with revone and HTC Dev unlocked). I saw OMJ's thread with newer firmwares and a 4.06.651.4 RUU. I flashed the firmware, verified everything worked still, and ran the RUU (for peace of mind). RUU was successful but the fastboot screen still shows the pink ***UNLOCKED*** text and S-OFF message. Current HBOOT is 1.56.

Once S-OFF, always S-OFF, unless you write the secureflag to be S-ON again.

Good to know, thanks. I was under the impression that an RUU totally resets a device but I guess not. It saved me having to s-off/unlock/root again :victory:

Yes you have to do a FASTBOOT RELOCK COMMAND to make the phone secure. You can also use root linux to disguise the bootloader/Hboot to make it appear S-ON if you choose. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565201

Any updates for this? I tried installing Viper ROM - however I feel like the inability to get S-OFF from hboot 1.6x is preventing this from working.
