If you haven't rooted it I would just phone up HTC.

hey, rooting doesn't wipe your device usually. So your info will stay. Keep me posted.

actually thats better than getting OTA
just download a custom rom like ViperOne or ARHD or InsertCoin and
copy it to your downloads folder
reboot your phone and hold volume down and it will enter the bootloader. go into recovery from here and wipe/factory reset and install the rom you copied to the phone. 10x better than waiting on OTA update
Edit: When rebooting the phone you may have a menu with the choice of booting recovery ..choose that

Good Day!!
Last week my phone is running normal and fine(Just recieved 4.4kitkat), having absolutely no problems at all.. But since it is running on stock rom(not even rooted), There are certain apps that i can installed on its stock rom, because of my curiosity i decided to root my phone using TWRP recovery and flash android revolution hd, but i forgot to s-off my device, after all the troubles my phone is on bootloop stage!

Now my question is how can i downgrade it from HBOOT 1.56 to 1.44, Its real pain in the ass seeing or you cannot do anything to your phone.
Thanks!!
You can't downgrade without being s off. Firewater is the only one that works on 1.56. Give it a go. It wouldn't s off my firmware tho

Sorry for my stupidity, Sir can you teach me how? coz i already tried almost everything
There is a pretty good guide in the one general forum for Firewater. Follow all those instructions see how u go then post some screenshots if it comes up with any errors

I'm just curious ...why do you think it's so necessary to have s-off ?
you don't need it to flash roms and you don't need it with your current firmware.
all you really can't do is flash old firmwares and RUU's but why would you care if your phone works fine ?
