You can downgrade if you are S-OFF only
Why do you want to downgrade?

Can you help me achieve root and s-off my sprint htc one,kitkat with hboot 1.56.0000? I can see you were able to achieve that looking at your signature,even though I don't know from which rom.
I have tried firewater's method but it didn't work for me,my device is running a complete stock kitkat 4.4.2 rom,any help?
thank you.

How'd your do this? this is the first report I've seen of successfully getting s-off on 1.56. This gives me hope.
What method and how many attempts did you make? Mac or Windows?

I tried all kinds of methods best known to me but none worked while I was on kitkat version 4.06.651.4) using firewater.so this is exactly what I did,
I upgraded to software version 4.06.651.9 (kit kat) before firewater actually worked.So if you really want to achieve s-off using firewater,then you have to upgrade to the latest version number of kitkat.
1.Upgrade to the latest version of kitkat(4.06.651.9)
2.Unlock boot using htcdev.
3.Install custom recovery and superSU to get root access.
4.use firewater to achieve s-off.
Infact firewater worked the first time I tried after installing the latest software(4.06.651.9)
So I advice you to install the latest software and keep your eyes on the phone to grant super user access.
hope this helps.

I sent the request to add the 2.15.970.1 firmware, not realising it needed to be unlocked first, but a bg thankyou to the dev anyway.
After i researched a bit I realised that to simply flash cusom roms s-off is unnecessary and a simple unlock is good enough.
Anyway i found this great guide htcsoku.info/htcsokudev-news/au-m7-215to105-downgrade/ on how to downgrade then s-off or unlock with revone.
I managed to unlock the sim by following the guide as as far as gaining root shell then used this guide htcsoku.info/htcsokudev-news/au-m7-device-sim-unlock/ to simply unock the sim without touching anything els.
I then used theguid to downgrade and unlock anotherday, although it may be possible to follow the guide as far as gaining root then trying revone without downgrading,
Sorry this is my first so xda prevented me from attaching actual links, hope this helps some people.

Thanks a lot dude!

Thanks also "kirkintokyo" for the sim unlock link.. this will help a lot too. highly appreciated dude!
Im also having a very hard time with something.....
I really hope somebody here can help me. I'm desperate and have tried everything. I purchased my AU HTC J One and it had 4.1.2 (1.07.970.4) on it. I was anxious to start playing around with it so I followed an instruction on how to install TWRP. So I unlocked , Installed TWRP, then rooted. Everything was great until an OTA came out. I wanted to update but found out very quickly that without stock recovery I cannot do OTA. Well here is the real problem. I do not have the stock recovery any more and cannot find it. Another user gave me what he though was the stock recovery, I flashed it and then tried thee OTA. All I get is a picture of the phone with a big red triangle with an exclamation point. If I hold up volume and hit power I can see where it started the update and immediately aborted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to update to system 4.2.2 and hopefully in the future to 4.3 , 4.4 but as it stand now Im stuck with 4.1.2... I know there are some smart guys out there that could give me a hand with this. PLEASE>>>>

I tried using HTC dev site to unlock bootloader but it failed
Error Code: 170.
Error Reason: CID Not Allowed.
You have to s-off and get super cid before you can unlock the boot loader
Your software version should allow you follow this guide
Following that you can try the same steps I did, but well most likely need a different version of recovery, the non 4.2.2 version

I've tried working with both Revolutionary and Moonshine, and I can't seem to get it done. I'm on hboot 1.44. Is there a good walkthrough for someone who isn't the best at command line. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Running ViperOne 2.7 (Have tried with stock rom as well) and I have the M7att edition of the phone.

I think your issue is equal to mine: maybe you flashed on your unlocked One an Android 4.3 Version. That seams to be the cause that not allow us to use Revone also with 1.44 . I think we need to flash a 4.2 before use revone. Is it correct to anyone that knows the solution?

I'm on ViperOne 2.7 which is 4.2.2. I haven't used 4.3 for more than a cursory install of the RC from the Viper team.

So my idea was not correct , but if error is on adb shell, it means that tool doesn't work Android Side for something wrong on release, as it had to work before.. I didnt update firmware or other, I just updated the ROM and kernel, and you?
I have a different rom, but I use the stock kernel.

This is not the solution to our issue: the toolkit use revone as you use it by command lines. So if it doesn't work by commands, it doesn't work by toolkit.. I want just know if I need to return to my stock nandroid backup in order to use revone or not, or I need to flash a 4.2 for example. Just few information guys, who knows please help us .
So guys, anyone know if I need to flash an Android 4.1/4.2 Rom in order to use revone
To soff my One? I repeat, I'm on 4.3 with ARHD 31 and hboot 1.44.

yes you can, but it will downgrade your software only. Firmware will not downgrade and you'll be unable to apply ota updates because of firmware/software mismatch
oh, thats bad news because i cant s-off my device, it disconnect. and i though that i downgrade it i will be able to s-off.

Unfortunately firmware downgrade require s-off. What is your issue and what s-off method are you using? And why do you need s-off for?
nevermind. thanks for interes, but i managed to s-off with rumrunner after many tries.
Hello,
I wanted to S-OFF my HTC One M7 and it looks like my last hope is use SunShine in the end.
Since I receive the following message when SunShine runs on my phone, I would like to receive some help to figure out what is the stock kernel I have to flash in order to run SunShine.
At the moment I use Elemental X kernel, as shown in the signature below, but I have not been able to find a kernel to meet the requirements. By the way, I have a rooted and unlocked phone, and I wouldn't like to come back to stock if possible.
Thanks

1) do a nandroid backup in TWRP
2) install maximusHD, this one: http://llabtoofer.com/2014/12/02/htc-one-maximushd-46-0-0/
3) sunshine s-off
4) restore you nandroid backup
Hi!
Thanks a lot for your hint!
And what about doing as explained here instead? I mean where it says about "Step-by-step procedure before attempting to S-OFF (with the universal Rumrunner version for international variants)".
It doen't say anything about the hboot version. That should work I guess, without wiping anything by the way.

OK, thank you.
So, I could flash a ROM having such hboot and then try rumrunner. If yes, can you suggest me some rom to flash? There's lot of stuff here in the forum, I get confused to be honest.

nope, you cant back flash your HBOOT at all unless you are already s-off, I see in your signature your on 1.57, sunshine is the only way to s-off your device, really the only way - (people still ask after saying this if there is another way), you also need as close to stock as possible to use sunshine.
I succeeded using Sunshine in the end, flashing a stock kernel (boot.img) extacted by a stock ROM.
