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.

Like I said in your previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552669
You might want to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
If you read, then you will understand that the RUU you want to execute need to be compatible with both your CID, MID and hboot version.
So yes its possible, but you need to be s-off to change CID/MID and to downgrade hboot if required.
and please don't start 2 different threads for relatively the same questions.
Hope it help

yes, use revone tool for hboot 1.44 or use rumrunner tool for hboot 1.54 and 1.55
This is the first thing listed in the thread I linked above.....
First you need to be S-Off, this will NOT work with S-On!!!
A) If you’re on hboot 1.44 use revone to get S-Off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2314582
B) If you’re on hboot 1.54/1.55 use rumrunner to get S-Off: http://rumrunner.us/ and http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2487888

I can't answer that cause I'm not familiar with rumrunner since I s-off'd my One when it was on 1.44 hboot with revone. In theory rumrunner 0.5.0 should work on all international variant with hboot 1.54 and up except verizon model that need a different version of rumrunner. Maybe you should ask help directly on rumrunner thread for that step or search the forum for similar issue with s-off on 1.55. Hope you will find out.

I went back and forth with rumrunner and moonshine while using a rom 4.3 GPE ROM with twrp and it kept failing. ultimately installed a 4.1.2 stock then used revone and it worked wonderfully. I was able to remove the tampered flag, unlock the stock bootloader and flash the GPE 4.3 and receive the updates. I also only have a mac so i was limited in not being able to run .exe's.

Tampered flag is just that, a flag. It doesnt hinder anything, just a pop up for "Warranty" purposes. The flag pops up when you unlock the bootloader but when you get S-Off you can remove the flag.
Since you have access to windows i would go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276 and find the .exe RUU for your area. Just get into your bootloader, select fastboot usb and run the .exe. Pick the lowest firmware available so you can ensure that you get the 1.44 hboot.

Is the process with .zip and .exe different? Maybe if I run .exe it can work with S-ON? :victory:

The zip can only be used with S-Off where as the exe is designed to be used to return a phone to stock with S-On.
Just get into fastboot and run the exe, it should do the rest for you. It will wipe the entire phone, but as far as I'm concerned, a blank phone is better than an unusable one.
I'm not sure if the hboot makes a difference, but mine downgraded when I flashed an older RUU.
Once you get the older hboot and firmware, you may have to unlock your bootloader again through HTC Dev, then S-Off. Once your S-Off unlocking your bootloader is much easier.

If you want to run a GPE RUU.exe your phone MUST have CID compatible (BS_US0001) with GPE and MID: PN0712000
you can check that with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
fastboot oem readmid
if they doesn't match, you MUST be S-OFF to change them
If your device is currently a DEV edition, you should already have PN0712000 as MID so the only concern is that CID need to match GPE RUU
You should post your
Code:
fastboot getvar-all
and remove imei and sn so it will be easier to see what options you have.

I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46046898
If I have a hboot S-ON it has to be LOCKED or RE-LOCKED. It'll never work with hboot UNLOCK. So if your hboot is S-OFF it not matter.
Thank u mates. You were friggin' awesome.

Did you apply the Sense 6 OTA to your phone? If you did, then the hboot is a higher number than the RUU you are trying to re-install. The same thing happen to me and I had to install a lower hboot. Check @nkk71 SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock for instructions on how to do install a lower hboot.

Is your phone on the at&t network? If not you willl not receive ota updates and flashing ota update manually requires S-OFF. Try rumrunner S-OFF. Once S-OFF change your CID so you can flash the Dev edition RUU and receive ota updates normally.

My phone is AT&T but I can't update because I am not using the same carrier. Rumrunner will not work because my hboot 1.44.000 even revone didn't work. So please help me to make s-off

Then update your hboot to 1.54/.1.55 using a RUU
this one for example: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
Once the RUU is flashed (and hboot updated) unlock the bootloader, flash twrp recovery, root the phone and achieve s-off using rumrunner
Or you can buy sunshine s-off for 25 if you want to make it simple.

I tried with RUU flashs but also not working

What is the problem exactly when flashing the RUU?

Error 158. It doesn't flash. Taking in consideration that I'm choosing the right flash.
Is there any way to flash hboot alone or change cid with s-on,?
