Hi
I have a Htc one m7 which was S-off and I upgraded to 4.4.2 with Hboot 1.57.
I decided to back to 100% stock by removing "tampered" and...
Everything was good till doing S-ON.
After S-ON the "TAMPERED" came back on top of hboot.
Now I cant S-OFF it because of Hboot 1.57.
Somebody told me that he can Downgrade the Main Version by Riff Box but he cant do S-OFF.
my questions is that:
If I downgrade the Main Version can I downgrade the Hboot by flashing a 4.2.2 RUU without having s-off?
Is it possible and logical?
Would be dangerous in case of hard break??
Thanks in advance

Simple answer, you cant downgrade anything without s-off, don't know about the riff box method though.
Where in the world are you ?
Solved.

Hi Guys, been trawling the forum but not a great deal of info on this new firmware. I've updated the firmware to 2.24.401.1 using Mikes Guide BUT.. I WAS S-On AT the time! Is it possible to downgrade the firmware from the latest bootloader 1.54.0000 back to 1.44.0000.
I'm wanting to return to stock to receive OTAs but I have a feeling at the moment with the new firmware and S-On I cant do this?
Any advice appreciated
You could try and see if revone somehow works, however i dont think it does with the 1.54 hboot. Why didnt you get S-OFF before the update.
Yeah I don't think you can downgrade Hboot with S-On. Might have to wait until a method is realeased for the 1.54 Hboot.

At the time I didnt think it was necessary. I thought wrong, failed my homework ! Thanks for the clarification :good:. I can wait.
I made the mistake of upgrading to 4.2.2 (Hboot 1.54.0000) now I can't s-off arghhh!!!!!!
same here...
is there anyway to go back to 100% stock?? there dont seem to be a 2.24.xx RUU...
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get back to 100% stock so I can send my phone back for replacement/repair. There was no RUU so I used some kindly donated nandroid back ups and OTA firmware to get back to what should be my current stock 2.29.980.2 (Australian Unbranded HTC__039). Ive got stock recovery back on and OTA's are working. I'm still S-Off and boot loader unlocked.
The last think i need to do is get S-on and relock the bootloader. But in flashing the current firmware, HBoot is at 1.54.
Before I do any brash, does anyone know if revone one will still work to allow me to relock the bootloader and S-on?
If not will I have to downgrade Hboot to 1.44 and get S-On back on then reflash the firmware to upgrade HBoot back to 1.54?
I've also read that if there is anything other than stock HBoot and S-On you can brick the phone. But I take if the Hboot has upgraded from the OTA firmware this should be fine?
Thanks

You might want to be a bit more helpful and actually tell him why not
I would also advise against reverting to S on, because you won't be able to regain S off again, at least currently with 1.54 hboot.
If you wish to send for repair, my advice would be ensure you have stock recovery and stock Rom.
Use revone to remove tampered, and also relock bootloader .
No real need to revert to S on, as Soff doesn't indicate that you tampered with your device as a small number of HTC One were sold with S off

I am on the same boat with you. unbranded Aussie One..
I had my own backup 1.29.980.17 from TWRP and restoring from my backup made my screen not working at all..
I have 1.54 hboot as well. Does 1.54 hboot and 4.1.2 doesnt work together? Isnt backup from xda is also 4.1.2 as well?
Sorry about asking question in your thread, but I just want to do same thing like you and I failed..

It says tampered because you have some unsigned software installed. Probably hboot or recovery.
Ok so i have searched but unable to find an answer to my question.
I want to downgrade my Hboot from 1.54 back to 1.44. I do have s-off. I s-offed when my hboot was on 1.44 using revone. My hboot was upgraded after doing a firmware update.
So i need to send my phone in for repairs (the infamous purple camera) and i want to downgrade so I can return to stock, remove "tampered" and relock.
As stated I am currently S-off and have read its possible to downgrade if you are s-off, just need to be pointed in the right direction

I wouldn't downgrade and s-on for warranty, it isn't necessary, they won't check and you will regret it because you will get back your phone s-on and upgraded to hboot 1.54, so non-s-offable for now. I did it too without any problems.
Just make you phone stock again (install a stock ruu is it is available), lock (not relock) your phone and remove tampered flag (running an ruu would remove it, if there is no ruu do it first because revone won't work without root on hboot 1.54)
BTW purple camera is just software whitebalance problem not a hardware problem
You just need to downgradethe firmware. It contains the hboot.
But as @godutch said, it's not necessary.

Ok cool, thanks guys, so I just need a flash a firmware zip containing 1.44 Hboot and im good to go?
Basically i just want to get rid of the tampered flag.
Iv done the 4.3 upgrades with supposedly fix the camera but its made no effect on mine :crying: so the only other option I have to try and get them to change the camera module.
Thanks again guys. Much appreciated. You will get a thanks each
you don't need to downgrade. h-boot 1.54 is normal and considerated STOCK for devices who made OTA update.
don't do stupid thing's
i removed tampared flag with revone -t

it does but you need to be s-off and rooted for it to work but you don't have to do what you are trying to do and you will regret it later....
just try with 1.54 , multiple times
hboot 1.55

I had my phone repaired twice and they didn't say any thing about the boot loader being unlock. However, since that I have s-off and the phone needs to go to repair for the microphone not working and I wonder if I could either s-on and lock the boot loader with hboot 1.55? If you have any advice, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

not recommended, as far as i've seen, going from s-off to s-on (on 100% stock everything), after a few reboots, has a high chance of resulting in "tamper detected - rebooting" and the TAMPERED sign is back.
i was running custom rom but decided the blue haze on the camera wasn't doing it for me and turns out htc are able to repair it once i send in
I got to relocked s-on only showing no tampered or anything by flashing ruu
running latest sense rom and hboot 1.56 atm
need to get back to just [locked] showing s-on
this is frustrating me I need help
i unlocked this originally through htc if that matters
You will need s-off to reset the bootloader back to locked instead of re-locked

S-OFF the phone. Then, use the flash the Guru Bootloader Reset zip in TWRP/CWM. From there, you can set it to Locked. But, HBOOT 1.56 has a lot of problems when trying to S-OFF. Its a hit and miss chance. Try using Firewater to S-OFF

the instructions on firewater on their site probably doesn't work with what I have atm cant link to the site yet not enough posts..
what is the best course of action I take?
im running latest android not 4.3 with an m7 not m8 and unrooted
i tried temprooting using firewater just to get s-off didn't work since i have newest android
can someone tell me what to do from here? flash 4.3? root again?!
So I am sending my one back that has a failing charging port, and i am trying to get it 100% back to stock. The phone is on the stock rom and recovery, but it has an unlocked and s-off bootloader version 1.57. I heard that since 1.55 Hboot it will re apply the tampered flag when I relock it. Should I downgrade the Hboot to 1.44 or 1.54?
