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.

Going back to S-on with Hboot 1.54

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get back to 100% stock so I can send my phone back for replacement/repair. There was no RUU so I used some kindly donated nandroid back ups and OTA firmware to get back to what should be my current stock 2.29.980.2 (Australian Unbranded HTC__039). Ive got stock recovery back on and OTA's are working. I'm still S-Off and boot loader unlocked.
The last think i need to do is get S-on and relock the bootloader. But in flashing the current firmware, HBoot is at 1.54.
Before I do any brash, does anyone know if revone one will still work to allow me to relock the bootloader and S-on?
If not will I have to downgrade Hboot to 1.44 and get S-On back on then reflash the firmware to upgrade HBoot back to 1.54?
I've also read that if there is anything other than stock HBoot and S-On you can brick the phone. But I take if the Hboot has upgraded from the OTA firmware this should be fine?
Thanks

You might want to be a bit more helpful and actually tell him why not

I would also advise against reverting to S on, because you won't be able to regain S off again, at least currently with 1.54 hboot.
If you wish to send for repair, my advice would be ensure you have stock recovery and stock Rom.
Use revone to remove tampered, and also relock bootloader .
No real need to revert to S on, as Soff doesn't indicate that you tampered with your device as a small number of HTC One were sold with S off

I am on the same boat with you. unbranded Aussie One..
I had my own backup 1.29.980.17 from TWRP and restoring from my backup made my screen not working at all..
I have 1.54 hboot as well. Does 1.54 hboot and 4.1.2 doesnt work together? Isnt backup from xda is also 4.1.2 as well?
Sorry about asking question in your thread, but I just want to do same thing like you and I failed..

It says tampered because you have some unsigned software installed. Probably hboot or recovery.

do RUU's have to match CID's?

i have a htc one m7
CID: ORANG001
MID: PN0710000
having a hard time finding the correct RUU, just wondering as long as MID is the same does it matter if CID is different? i am s-on btw just trying to downgrade RUU's in an attempt to downgrade hboot
please help thanks

You need the exact one for your phone/region if you are S-On. Also, you can't downgrade your Hboot when you're S-On. I suspect you are on Hboot 1.54 seeing as you want to downgrade? Well you can't as you couldn't even go S-Off on that Hboot unless you had S-Off before you upgraded.
In a nutshell, you're stuck with what you have until somebody finds a way to go S-Off on Hboot 1.54 ... Why on earth do you want to downgrade anyways

You can't run an RUU though, other than the one made for your model/region and it has to be the same as the version you are on, or newer. To run an RUU that is an earlier version than what you're on requires you to be S-Off I believe and if you're on 1.54 then there isn't currently a way to get S-Off.

[Q] About 1.54 to 1.44 hboot

Hello everyone,
my phone statement is;
1.54 hboot, S-ON, HTC Unlocked, 2.24.401.x FW.
I just found local service in my city for s-off on 1.54 hboot via javacard. I will use that service. And i have questions:
after getting s-off on 1.54;
- How can i downgrade hboot to 1.44? RUU is enough for this?
- Is there a any other method?
- Is Nandroid backups contain hboot part?
- Can i write super CID on 1.54 S-OFF?
- Can i delete "Tempered" flag when i gain s-off on hboot 1.54?
Thank you,

Well to start off at the moment you can't s-off on hboot 1.54 at the moment that is after it is available till would be able to flash any hboot so you would be able to go completely stock

So you're going to pay for S-Off and then intentionally get rid of S-Off, and then upgrade, preventing you from gaining S-Off without paying again?
You know, it's probably best to leave it S-Off.

The OTA doesn't remove S-OFF, I went from 1.44 to 1.54 with no issues

Once the OP pays the shop to S-OFF the phone on 1.54 using the java card method he can use any RUU to go back

[Q] Downgrade Hboot 1.54 to 1.44?

Ok so i have searched but unable to find an answer to my question.
I want to downgrade my Hboot from 1.54 back to 1.44. I do have s-off. I s-offed when my hboot was on 1.44 using revone. My hboot was upgraded after doing a firmware update.
So i need to send my phone in for repairs (the infamous purple camera) and i want to downgrade so I can return to stock, remove "tampered" and relock.
As stated I am currently S-off and have read its possible to downgrade if you are s-off, just need to be pointed in the right direction

I wouldn't downgrade and s-on for warranty, it isn't necessary, they won't check and you will regret it because you will get back your phone s-on and upgraded to hboot 1.54, so non-s-offable for now. I did it too without any problems.
Just make you phone stock again (install a stock ruu is it is available), lock (not relock) your phone and remove tampered flag (running an ruu would remove it, if there is no ruu do it first because revone won't work without root on hboot 1.54)
BTW purple camera is just software whitebalance problem not a hardware problem

You just need to downgradethe firmware. It contains the hboot.
But as @godutch said, it's not necessary.

Ok cool, thanks guys, so I just need a flash a firmware zip containing 1.44 Hboot and im good to go?
Basically i just want to get rid of the tampered flag.
Iv done the 4.3 upgrades with supposedly fix the camera but its made no effect on mine :crying: so the only other option I have to try and get them to change the camera module.
Thanks again guys. Much appreciated. You will get a thanks each

you don't need to downgrade. h-boot 1.54 is normal and considerated STOCK for devices who made OTA update.
don't do stupid thing's
i removed tampared flag with revone -t

it does but you need to be s-off and rooted for it to work but you don't have to do what you are trying to do and you will regret it later....

I had my phone repaired twice and they didn't say any thing about the boot loader being unlock. However, since that I have s-off and the phone needs to go to repair for the microphone not working and I wonder if I could either s-on and lock the boot loader with hboot 1.55? If you have any advice, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

not recommended, as far as i've seen, going from s-off to s-on (on 100% stock everything), after a few reboots, has a high chance of resulting in "tamper detected - rebooting" and the TAMPERED sign is back.
