Okay, i have a T-Mobile One with hboot 1.44 and 1.27.531.11. I've tried my damndest to downgrade to 1.27.531.8 using the tutorial on another forum (can't link it here, forum rules), except its a Windows .exe RUU and I'm using a Mac. How can I run these RUUs? I've installed Wine, tried a Parallels Virtual Machine, and am currently trying to in stall a wWindows 8 evaluation copy through Bootcamp. Anybody else have this headache and would care to walk me through it?

I Heard a tool for mac users named OpenRUU that allows you to extract the rom.zip and other files from the RUU and then you can manually flash them.
Dont know if this tool is useful for HTC One maybe you want to reed about it.

I REFER to this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10757949#post10757949
My thought is that this is definetely a step in the right direction.
Whereas it does not give the HBoot access that we are all waiting for, it might re-open some vulnerabilities that do, so I think that I am going to have a happy day now.
step3 we get shell root now. open a cmd and input adb shell(make sure you have install relative tools) relative tools ? what are u mean from where//?
When i enter su root, it says : su not found
Whats the matter ??

Hi
The link dont work http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachme...lash_image.zip on step 9
sorry but I think you guys won't have any chance here. I think it doesn't matter which ROM you have running as long as the boot loader is still locked... The problem was never the FroYo 2.2 ROM itself but the HBOOT it contains.
So I think the only way to get rid of this problem is waiting for Unrevoked to support HBOOT 1.01.0001....
Nice that's like they're doing it with the legends.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894465
Can you try to put on a recovery mod? Then It " doesn't " matter what hboot is on you wildfire.
I'm trying to find a way to push a another hboot over this one. Like htc has the possibility. There has to be a way to change your hboot version. My biggest problem is finding the right signature.
nice job!
I noticed they have managed to downgrade the rom and the hboot on the legend, its seems more people work on legends then on our wildfire. Simply meaning it seems to take us ages to do what other people have already done.
I for one am trying and getting nowhere fast lol is there any one out there thats close to rooting or downgrading the wildfires new hboot? I have got temp root and downgraded to the 2.1 rom but still have the same hboot so cant get root! Also cant downgrade the hboot still searching for ideas!
I'm trying to modify an old Hboot so that the new Hboot thinks it's newer so let it update. Or modify a new one so that I doesn't make a problem to be downgraded. Supposing that you can flash hboot 1.01 to hboot 1.01 and then to a lower version.
Am I right to think that the cn froyo came with hboot 0.83 ?
If it works like you said, then this is something new as this exploits 1.01 and not 0.83 ?
Anyone knows the difference between the two hboots or is this question. Irrelevant here ?
Do flashing a RUU rom with Hboot 0.83 included will downgrade the Hboot ?

That would be great if it works, you are more knowledgable then me lol i wouldnt know where to start on that. I've been tinkering but not as deep as replacing or modding the hboot. Been hoping unrevoked would have a solution by now but there are little or no comms from them saying if its possible or even how far they have got! so its still a waiting game.

No, if it were so easy, the solution would have certainly be posted already.
since we can gain temp root, there should be a way to replace tha hboot manually...can we replace it via cmd using simple copy-paste commands?
step3 we get shell root now. open a cmd and input adb shell(make sure you have install relative tools)
Please explaint me because i am confused (open cmd from the windows or from the wildfire and what is the relative tools must i install in order to proceed?

open command prompt on your pc (go to start then run or the text box if your on vista and type cmd) this will open a command prompt window.
the tools you need are the android sdk tools to access adb found here:- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html download the .zip and once downloaded un zip to c:/
google search for a guide to set up android sdk and adb loads of guides out there
also install htc sync from htc site as the drivers in the package will be needed to connect to adb.
Can some body give me the flash tool or a working link to it?
thx!

this can be a solution a modified hboot. I still don't know why its good to downgrade to 2.1 with hboot 1.00.10 We cannot use unrevoked so its no use to do that.
Hi all,
I'm planning on going the S-Off, CID chnage route to get OTA updates as my carrier (3 UK) clearly can't get its fingers out.
I've read a few guides already and I think I'm all set, the only hiccup is that I'm on a Mac (no bootcamp, vm ware or other...).
I can do the S-off with Revone and chnage the CID but I don't l know how to flash the RUU from my Mac.
Does anyone know how to flash RUU from a Mac?
Thanks for you help.
try this http://winebottler.kronenberg.org it always worked for little programs, never use for heavy ones.
personally i won't never use a RUU with this software, ill prefer waste 20 minutes installing windows with bootcamp

x.xx.709.x is in your list it should work
My recommendation is to install rumrunner using 32 bit ubuntu. Not 64. No worries about drivers.. you don't have to install ubuntu, just put it on a disk or usb, boot into it and select try instead of install. After days of tryng different methods, computers and versions of windows, ubuntu worked the first time . Rumrunner has a version for ubuntu and instructions on their site

For sure? if it wont , the phone can brick or something?
im on 3.63 and i was able to S-OFF my phone.
So..
I tried to do that and its says after the dots:
ERROR: run rumrunner again and READ (no adb connection to device. Debugging on
Drivers?)
Press ENTER to exit
Drivers installed.
There is ADB Connection.
Debugging on.
1) are you on windows or linux
2) if your on windows make sure you reboot to fastboot first and connect cable so it can install the second driver
3) also watch the phone when its running at one point you have to allow the computer to connect in a higher mode or it will fail and still might but after you allow/accept this mode it should be good to go
I was able to set S-OFF on my ATT HTC One. I would suggest to make sure the drivers you have is the latest.
1. Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Search the xda forums for latest compatible driver for your PC. Here's a thread with a collection of windows drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089508
3. Make sure to see your phone appear in Device Manager when connected (if using Windows OS).
4. You can also use the following command after the Android SDK "platform-tools" is installed & phone connected: adb devices
Hope this help.
Just got my new laptop running windows 8.1. Now my ONE is not recognized when in fastboot, no fastboot drivers. Did a lot of research and found that everything works on the new hboot 1.55 which I don't run! Does anyone have the fastboot drivers available and can share? Or does anyone know of flashable for just the hboot upgrade?
I ran into the same issue on my home desktop computer with 8.1 after messing around with it I ended up grabbing out my old hard drive and booting back into Windows 7 however I would try flashing the Rumrunner H boot which should be compatible with Windows 8.1 as others have told me but I haven't tested it yet but that is my plan when I have to do my next round of flashing. Your going to have to use a Windows 7 (or xp) computer in order to do that but once you do then you can use your 8.1 computer from then on out
I wonder if I could get just the fastboot drivers if it would work without having to change my hboot. Does anyone have the fastboot drivers only available?
Go read the FAQ, @BD619 has the info you likely need in that thread (stickied).

You will have to upgrade the hboot for it to work on 8.1 regardless of what drivers you get at least that is my understanding. I'm on an older hboot because I did a custom hboot with my name on top. The main reason I did a custom hboot was to get rid of the ugly red development text during boot which rumrunner will do. The bootloader customizer plugin hasn't been updated to the new hboot yet so I would just flash rumrunner hboot. It just says rumrunner at the top and most important red development text is gone.
I'm trying to avoid changing my hboot because I have modded just the way I like it and I've never had a problem with it. But I guess is lose one, gain one!

All u need is the rumrunner hboot and Ur good. U do not need to flash any firmware. I've always done the same as u, upgrade firmware without hboot but this time I had to flash just a new hboot. And everything is all good now with windows 8.1! :thumbup:

Nice add to the FAQ, I had 8.1 before it was released so I ran into this issue right away but as it rolls out even more it's going to come up more often. With s-off changing upgrading/downgrading hboots isn't a big deal at all. With s-on you gotta be careful but this is the 1st time I can recall ever that upgrading your hboot has a benefit.

What is the actual problem?
No drivers for 8.1 or script doesn't work?

I tried rum runner and its says at the end failure(I tried many times with different roms) and I think it might be because of Windows.
P.S I have hboot 1.57 on international htc one.
That doesn't have anything to do with windows 8.1. The only issue you might have is with driver signing and you can workaround that by shutting off driver enforcement for when you go to install. After that you can boot normally.
