Sorry, on my phone so I can't see which forum we are in but what variant of the One do you have? I managed to root my One because revone kept failing when I tried to issue commands previously

Use rumrunners for s-offing your phone.

My post wasn't referring to which s-off method to use. Yes revone only works on 1.44 but you are already s-off. No need to use rum runner if already s-off.
I was replying to OP when he asked if it was possible to root with stock recovery. IT is quite possible, I have done so myself.

Hi, imade le latest Ota update for my Htc one and now i'm s-on and relocked and tempered and my hboot is 1.54 revone doesn't work in this case.
Is there anyway to downgrade hboot 1.54 to 1.44 with s-on of course?
Thanks a lot.
Unlock, flash a custom ROM and see if that works
I've not heard of an OTA that patches the exploit
Or try moonshine
There is no way to downgrade without bricking your device

Hey,
TIME is the solution
Wait till revone team strikes back
If you cant, only one option is left, unlock by htcDEV(you may lose system apps)
Root and then with root,
Revone works perfect

So i need to sell my phone because of several cash flow reasons. :crying: The person who is buying off me doesnt want the phone to be rooted. I tried looking for a back to stock thread but found nothing so far, or i am not looking hard enough.
So i just need the root to be gone and the bootloader to be locked as it was. How do i do that? Your help is greatly appreciated. I got a day to settle all this

On top of that, some of the RUU's are in exe and some are in zip. I downloaded an .exe one. Can i use that to flash in recovery?

I know that if you can get a Windows Vitual machine running on Mac you can do it.
Then when the RUU is running you can search for the ROM
Check it out. I know if you use the HTC one AIIO toolkit you can flash the extracted data to your device. Even the recovery.img from a stock RUU.
Let me know how you get on

Lock the bootloader with revone and flash a RUU (European or WWE), like this one http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...13323127-1031113105-release-310878-signedexe/, then run revone and remove tampered message (if you have that) in bootloder but i would keep S-Off if i we`re you forever.

Unfortunately it comes up with this, and then fails at updating a while later. Turns out my hboot is 1.54 so I can't use revone right?
I remember there is a method of tricking the ruu in to thinking the device is older.if I'm not mistaken it's the changing of the cid
But someone would need to verify that one

You probably need S-Off for that right? I'm on the 1.54 hboot and the s-off method only works on 1.44 I think.
The thing is, I just noticed factory reset did not remove root.. So i'll try to unroot it first and then run the update agaib.
(also could you reply to my post directly next time? else I don't get the notification that you've answered)
Hey guys
I searched around and didn't seem to find the answer to my question. Its been a long time since I had an HTC(og Evo) and I think I've read too much to where I have confused myself. I have the Att version,
I've unlocked the bootloader and have S-off using the moonshine method. I am interested in updating my firmware.
As I understand it I have the moonshine custom 1.44 hboot but if I update my firmware will it not update my hboot to 1.54 which has no S-off yet?
I guess my main question is does the firmware update change my hboot and if it does will it mess with my S-off status or worse brick my phone.
I know I sound like a noob but ive been flashing for years, just a little turned around on the HTC side of things.
Thanks in advance!

Nothing you flash here will remove s-off. Hboot is the bootloader. These firmware zips include the hboot and drivers for things like touchscreen.

Hello,
I have been researching here to find a way to downgrade to a previous version of a firmware so that I can S-Off, and to no avail unsure how to do it myself using either use Moonshine or revone.
The reason I wish to do this is that I want to install Google Play edition and of course the necessary info to install it.

If I'm not mistaken the ROM firmware is irrelevant as to if you can root or not, or get-S-OFF. The most important factor for S-OFF is the bootloader version. I haven't seen any threads about getting S-OFF on bootloader 1.54.
Reboot to your bootloader (turn device off, hold volume down and turn device on). Check your HBOOT version there. If it says 1.54, then the only possible solution is to search for an official HTC RUU with a lower HBOOT version. However I do not know if this will actually work.

Alright. Assuming that works, is there a way to reflash?

Don't really know what you mean by reflash? Returning to the newer HBOOT (1.54)?
If that's the case, once you're S-OFF you can update the HBOOT to 1.54 and S-OFF will still be there. There are some threads in the development section about upgrading the HBOOT. I used these myself without issues.
As for the official RUU, this will probably be a Google search. I haven't seen a thread around with these files.
Keep in mind that flashing an original RUU will result in loss of root and custom recovery. You will need to re-root after flashing the RUU and reflash a custom recovery.

I think so yes, but I'm not 100% sure. You may find the answer, or ask the question in the hboot update threads or s-off threads. I haven't flashed a RUU myself in years.

What I mean to say is that once I have found one with an older HBoot, how do I go about flashing that so that I can do one of the two S-Off procedures?

I was s-off with stock unrooted locked 2.24.401.1 firmware (ruu'ed by repair center)and tried to use revone to unlock again but it would fail, then I downgraded to hboot 1.44 (I could still do this because I was s-off already) but revone would still fail, then I decided to properly downgrade to 1.28(or was that 29).401.?? with an ruu and was able to use revone again to unlock my bootloader, so hboot is not the only factor for revone to be succesful...
downgrading hboot and other system partitions, except kernel rom radio and recovery, is not possible if you are not s-off already....

S-OFF is not needed for root or custom recovery. You do need an unlocked bootloader though. On other devices S-OFF was needed to flash radio's or kernels through recovery, but from what I have read the One can flash kernels in recovery without S-OFF

So I have gotten TWRP on there, however I have been unable to flash a previous firmware, to downgrade, getting the error message, Unable to open zip. My guess is that S-On is stopping this process even in a custom recovery. Is there a recommendation as to how I can achieve S-Off?
Also There is something I have been thinking about it, and if I were to follow the steps here, with execption of the flashing the RUU through fasboot, could I flash the RUU through TWRP instead?
[Edit] Could I install a custom ROM, S-Off through the ROM, then follow the steps in the link to flash the RUU?
I have already re-locked and flashed the 3.0.5 RUU and everything is completely stock except the bootloader reading S-Off and Relocked.
I'm looking to reset the bootloader to read S-On and Locked just as it would be right out of the box.

Hmmm. I don't suggest getting s-on, it's pretty risky. You better flash this hexedited hboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314921
It basically masks the s-off as s-on. No one will ever notice it, it's basically risk-free and you remain s-off

This needs to be done while I still have root access right? Because I have already relocked and ran the latest 3.0.5 RUU.
I'd rather not unlock and root again if I don't have too.

No need for root it's flashed from RUU mode
I would advise using RootLinix hboot instead it will read hboot 1.55
