can i downgrade with a nandroid using TWRP/CWM

basically trying to get s-off on my device i am on hboot 1.54 as i recently updated to sense 4.2.2
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.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
could i use an older RUU to replace 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.

those wont work for you, those are for M7_UL (PN0710000).
if you are on hboot 1.55 then your firmware will be 3.xx.401.x
if you really want to change firmware, recommend you go s-off, then you can flash unsigned firmware... for hboot 1.55 rumrunner and or firewater should work nicely.
I personally use these firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506

you should always flash the firmware to match the nandroid when possible

just find the 2.x.980.x firmware regardless of your current hboot
Hboot 1.57 = Firmware 6.x - 5.x - 4.x
Hboot 1.56 = Firmware 4.x - 3.x
Hboot 1.54 = Firmware 2.x
Hboot 1.43 - 1.44 = Firmware 1.x
Those are general recommendations not etched in stone

M7 cid: O2___001 1.57 s-off cm12

Hi,
I have a CID O2___001 (O2-UK) HTC One M7 with CM12 installed on it. Obviously it's boot loader unlocked and I've got TWRP on it but it's S-ON. I would like to S-OFF because I want to change the CID etc. Given that firewater no longer works I will have to use Sunshine. In order to use it I need STOCK (or near stock....whatever that means) ROM. As far as I have searched the net I couldn't find a RUU for my CID that will be newer or the same version of OS. Nor I could find any Nandroid to restore. I have received the phone like this and previous owner didn't do Nandroid backup before flashing CM. Is there anything I could try to S-OFF? Maybe some special ROM that Sunshine would run on or something along these lines?
Thanks for help.

This ruu will not help, his phone is S-ON and you can't downgrade when the phone is S-ON.
Thank you very much for help. I've successfully restored the nandorid and then S-OFF using Sunshine. Now running on 5.0.1 GPE. Thanks for help!!

Hi all,
I'm looking for original ROM backup. I have received OTA update, but for some reason my phone didn't boot after install. My phone is S-ON and I'm having problem with getting S-OFF so I can't flash RUU (or can I?). I forced phone to boot using some Android 4.4.3 backup for EU version. But I have Nordic version and when I try to run some updates, they fail.
So I'm looking for stock Nordic ROM backup
M7 DualSIM
M7CDUG
CID: HTC__032
HBOOT 2.49
ROM version 7.17.402.15
Can anyone help me?
