[Q] AT&T HTC One Downgrade - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi hoping someone can chime in and help me out here. I have an att htc one with android 4.3 hboot 1.55 s-on unlock and root. I would like to flash with Google edition locked and unroot so I can receive OTA. From searching It seems that you can't do this unless you are s-off which requires you to be on 4.1 since revone does not work on 4.3? So what I was trying to do was downgrade to 4.1 android and hboot 1.44. Is this possible? I tried to flash the 1.44 hboot in ruu mode but it failed. Do i need to relock my phone then flash the 1.44 zip in ruu mode then use ruu exe for my carrier to flash 4.1? or is there a way to goto Google edition from 4.3? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rad

i would suggest you not try this since you do not know how to search you need to s-off first you can with rumrunner for hboot 1.55

Thanks for the help jerrycoffman45 I appreciate it. I did search but maybe not enough and focused on searching for 4.1 w/ 1.44 because I had read online about s-off not possible with revone on 4.3. Sorry about that and thanks again for helping.

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:

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.

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've already read this topic, anyway they are saying:
2. Have an old un-patched 1.44 HBoot or If on T-Mob or AT&T and on Patched 1.44 HBoot you have downgraded using one of the easy to find guides provided.
well then.. how to downgrade ?

You can't downgrade without being S-OFF, simple as that

The downgrade they're talking about only applies to AT&T or T-Mobile with patched 1.44 hboot. Doesn't apply to 1.54 and there's no way at this time to downgrade or S-Off 1.54

HTC One S-OFF 1.57 HELP

Hi everyone! I've been searching this forum whole day about 8 hours, and couldn't find any tool that would S-Off 1.57. Even latest Firewater doesn't help.... Any suggestions? Or is it possible to downgrade from 1.57 to lower? Thanks in advance.

downgrading hboot require s-off so no, its not possible.
firewater is the only tool that could s-off your phone. have you tried firewater + arhd 31.6? If you get the "whelp" message when trying to s-off there is nothing to do.
last possibility is to s-off the phone via a java card like they are doing at fonefunshop.com
No, I'm on 4.3 Google Play Edition, I had problems with ADB Authorization, I didn't get pop-up message when I connected the phone in debugging, so I had to install that rom, now everything works fine, but I want 4.4 Google Play Edition, so I heard it needs S-Off .. How do you think , should I wait for for 1.57 support or change rom and try this? This HTC Bloatware really annoys me ..
just try a 4.4 rom from the development section. you don't need S-off, just unlock the bootloader, install recovery, and flash new roms.

I am using a M7_UL running stock 4.4.2 with hboot 1.57 and I followed the steps mentioned and managed to get S-OFF.
Edit: realised that you were the one who shared in the other thread. So thanks for sharing man!
Yea I found it but couldn't test it I wasn't at home, will try later. So it is possible ) I want to convert my M7 into Google Edition, so I hope that helps me also.

[Q][S-OFF][CM 12] Trouble with S-OFF on Lolipop

I've got problem with s-off. I've tried with firewater, rumrunner and revone and i still have s-on :/
Could any one tell me how should I do it?
I've found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/guide-htc-one-m7-hboot-1-57-s-off-t2807762
Downgrade is the only way, or can I do it with my present ROM?
Thanks for help

firewater is discontinued
revone is for hboot 1.44 only
rumrunner for 1.54-1.55
Sunshine is the only method to s-off 1.57
to elaborate what @alray said, sunshine is your only way and you are also going to need to be as close to stock as possible, so a rom change first is going to be required.
