CID: ORANG001
MID: PN0710000
version main: 2.24.61.1
now i have rooted with TWRP & wondering if i can use this nandroid to downgrade:
M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID ORANG001 / 1.28.61.7 (Orange UK - Thanks to Azzabear)
http://click.xda-developers.com/api... / 1.28.61.7&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13761274174228
would it work & would it downgrade the hboot?
Nandroid won't downgrade hboot.

Sorry, I've no experience with RUUs - never used one. I would guess it would but since you're S-ON you obviously can't superCID, so you would need to find the proper RUU for your CID.
There is no known way to downgrade an hboot on an s-on device.

Just wondering for my own interest, gunny.. what does an RUU restore? I thought it was stock hboot, firmware, rom, recovery, etc. (everything basically). Or is it just that it can't downgrade even with an RUU if you are S-ON and would need to wait on a new RUU being released? Unless you're S-off and can superCID, then your can run any RUU - and that would downgrade *everything*..
cheers

The RUU is as far as I know a collection of all of the partition images for the phone.
Even with S-off it is not possible to downgrade an HBoot without flashing that HBoot separately. IOW if you are on a 1.54 firmware, in order to flash an RUU containing 1.44 Hboot you have to flash the 1.44 Hboot by itself or else the RUU will fail.
SuperCID (11111111) will pass the CID check
It is my understanding that in the past, S-off meant you could downgrade with just the RUU but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
The RUU install checks a few things
MID and CID
HBoot must be the same or greater version number
if these checks fail, the RUU won't flash even with S-off
The beauty of S-off is, we can flash these things manually without the RUU bypassing the checks.
You can simply use the DD command in a root shell and copy the partitions to the phone, but this is dangerous, because if you put a partition in the wrong location, BRICK.
My knowledge here is not as advanced as many here, so someone please correct me if I got any of this wrong.

No resolution for this?
I'm S-ON, hboot 1.54, CID=VODAP001.
As I understand things, i cant S-OFF because i'm on hboot 1.54 and Revone doesnt work on 1.54.
I cant use SuperCID because i'm S-ON
I cant flash any firmware unless the CID=VODAP001
(and now I wont get any OTA's as i went ahead an flashed a new ROM)
So i'm slightly stuck until either someone finds a way to S-OFF the hboot 1.54 or we track down a nandroid backup or RUU for CID=VODAP001

Yes I did.
You want to use Rumrunner to achieve S-OFF (assuming you are on hboot 1.54 and S-ON like I was).
Full details are available at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488772
Make sure to pay attention to the various requirements. It does work. I am now S-OFF, hboot 1.55 and SuperCID and have been able to flash new Firmware without issues.

for hboot 1.54 and 1.55:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487888 and http://rumrunner.us/
I'm in the UK & have a sim free HTC One.
So I changed my CID to HTC__Y13 to enable me to get the 4.2.2 OTA early then changed it back to HTC__001 & sadly used Revone to S-ON again. I have no English (United Kingdom) setting in the system language, probably because the update wasn't meant for a uk phone, so my thought was to go back to the 1.28.401.7 RUU then update properly now the UK OTA is out. Obviously I can't do this because I have a 1.54 hboot & can't S-OFF again to flash the RUU.
What method can I use to be able to downgrade the hboot to 1.44, S-OFF & flash the 1.28 RUU? Can I unlock bootloader via HTCDev, flash a custom rom with a 1.44 hboot then go back to stock, lock bootloader, S-OFF then flash to RUU? I don't want to try this & wipe my phone if it won't work.
Anyone else figured a way to do it?
Cheers

From my understanding, there is no way of altering H-boot without S-off. I'm sure someone will cracking 1.55 in the future.

This is correct.
The update WAS for your phone, if a phone is x.xx.401.x in the UK and x.xx.401.x in the Netherlands they get the same OTA
Can you still change your CID? I read someone who lost S-Off but was still able to change to superCID (11111111)

If you aren't afraid to experiment.
That is simple for information, when my phone had leaked 2.17.401.1 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
and
firmware from 2.17.401.1 RUU
from here (second post)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
My phone had HBOOT 1.54 and I without problems received S-OFF using alternate revone binary v0.2.1-wlj.
So , you can try this way
1) Unlock booloader
2) Flash latest custom recovery (I had TWRP)
3) Make nandroid backup your system
4) Flash 2.17.401.1 ROM
5) Try to get S-OFF using revone v0.2.1-wlj
I DO NOT guarantee success! If you do it, it is your risk!

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.

guess i'll have to wait for the hboot 1.54 to get hacked thanks
I have a T-MOB101 (Germany device HTC One), and i would like to revert it back to stock and sell it.
Read all the guides here at XDA, but couldn't achieve it.
My device now is:
HBOOT 1.54.00
S-Off with SuperCID 11111111
Unlocked bootloader
ARHD 13.4 rom
There isn't any RUU for T-MOB101. I found a CWM stock Nandroid backup but for some reason CWM can't install it.
I've installed the odexed 2.24.401.1 stock rom, reverted the CID back to T-MOB101, locked the Bootloader but now it says RELOCKED instead of LOCKED. And couldn't make it S-On maybe because of the HBOOT 1.54.00?
Please, help me, i would like to sell the device and the future owner don't have any issues with the warranty.
So, unlock your bootloader, go here, download the 1.44 hboot and flash it with the guide.
After, use the revone tool to go locked and s-on

Thanks for the reply Guich.
I'm kinda lost in the above thread.
1) Which Base Firmware should i download for T-MOB101 German device? I would like for it to have automatic updates for the future.
2) After that i will have to download the HBOOT 1.44.0000 Original unmodified, right?
3) In which order should i flash them? It's the same method for both Base Firmware and HBOOT?
4) Lastly, my bootloader now is unlocked with the HTC's method. How i can use the Revone to go Locked and S-On? Also, when should i change the CID to T-MOB101 from SuperCID 11111111?
Excuse me for all these questions, after almost 8 hours in front of the PC with no luck my head's gonna explode..
Thanks a bunch,
Bill

1) I will advise you to transform your T-MOB phone into an unbranded phone.
So, donwload the 1.29 firmware umodified and flash this.
2) Yupp, 1.44 hboot and go s-on and locked
3) Use the guide, i will advice firmware and after hboot.
4) Yup, with 1.44 hboot you can use the revone tool for go to LOCKED and not RELOCKED and s-on
But, before go to s-on, change the cid into HTC__001.
5) If you're tired do this tomoz
p.s. If you need more help, you can contact me in pm
All,
I have the Dev Edition with S-OFF and CID111111 running ARHD 13.3. With the latest update to the Dev Edition to 4.3, can I just flash the RUU for the latest of the Dev Edition? Will it work with TWRP custom recovery?
Thanks for any info.
Emh, the RUU isn't a zip, but an exe that you have to flash with the pc...
However, you can flash it
You can flash an RUU when S-OFF with Super CID, I've done it a number of times
The RUU is a complete update so it will overwrite the custom recovery anyway
Awesome guys....with that being said, I have a few more question. Since I'm S-Off and Super CID, you said I can flash any RUU, but it will wipe the custom recovery. That is fine, but when I want to flash a ROM in the future, I will have to reflash a new recovery correct? Will this mess with my HBOOT? I'm on 1.55 right now.
Also, I'm on the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860 looking at the collecdtion of RUU's...do I flash the ZIP, EXE or the Decrypted RUU's?
Again, thanks for your replies!
Download the RUU from HTCDev directly so you know you've got the right file, then flash it with the phone connected in fastboot. It will downgrade the HBOOT and put the phone back to 1.29.1540.16 and be just like it was out the box (except you'll still be S-OFF with Super CID). You can then get the OTA to .17 and then the OTA to Android 4.3...after that, you can flash a custom recovery and do what you want (but I'd take a nandorid first of course)
EDDYOS,
Thanks for all your info!! I will do exactly that!
One last question, I promise...since I am on S-OFF I should not be worried that flashing the RUU and downgrading to HBOOT 1.54 and not be able to achieve SOFF again? Cause isn't 1.54 having issues with SOFF? Or does that not matter to me since I have the Dev Editoin?
Again, thanks for all your advice.
You'll stay S-OFF so it's irrelevant...the only way you'll go S-ON is if YOU make it. RUUs/OTAs don't touch it
Example:
I'm currently on 2.24.401.8, HBOOT 1.54 and have S-OFF (as I did it when I could ages ago). I recently went back to 1.28.401.7 using the RUU and was still S-OFF. I then got the 4 OTAs to get back to 2.24.401.8 and I'm still S-OFF
