downgrade hboot

Anyone an idea how to downgrade hboot version ?
I have update the firmware to 2.17.401.1 with a newer hboot.
Sadly this new hboot is not yet supported with cm10.1 roms so i want to downgrade.
So is there a way to revert back to the stock firmware without wipe ?

If you have S-OFF you can flash it through fastboot. Do you need the 1.44.0000 or the 1.43.0000?

It's possible but I wouldn't mess around with HBOOTs, just wait until it is supported. It only takes one bad flash to fully brick your phone.

Not dangerous if he used original stock hboot 1.44.0000. I would not trust a modded hboot.

It is dangerous, if anything happens to the PC or cable mid flash or the flash fails for any reason then it's bricked. It's not likely but it could happen

Thanks for the replies folks, i have managed to downgrade from 1.54 to 1.44 (all stock untamperd versions)
But still doesn't for example pac 3.1 rom the touchpanel not
Maybe i must go lower to 1.43 ?
But what about the rest of the package (firmware.zip contains more than just the hboot) Must i fully downgrade or is just the hboot enough ? and is the 1.43 compatible with 2.17 jb 4.2.2 roms?
Lol i can wait, but when is the google edition available?

The touch panel was part of the drivers in the firmware.zip for 2.17, it had nothing to do with the hboot. Not sure if anyone still has the old ones for you to use

Now did you downgrade 1.44 from 1.54 ?

Try installing the 1.28 RUU that may downgrade the touch panel firmware.

What do you mean?, yes i have downgrade the hboot from 1.54 to 1.44
just used:
- fastboot reboot bootloader
- fastboot oem rebootRUU
- fastboot flash zip yourhboot.zip
- reboot reboot-bootloader
o yeah you MUST have S-OFF to do this with fastboot!

It will, I don't believe I saw 1.28 decoded so there is no seperate firmware.zip - an ota might have one but I haven't seen the touchpanel firmware in an OTA.

Do you know by change what the steps are to return to stock when i have unlocked hboot and s-off ?

I guess relock and then flash the ruu right from the bootloader.

If you have s-off then we can make a firmware.zip that contains the 1.44.0000 hboot and corresponding tp_SYN3202.img touch panel firmware. I've attached one built for the 1.29.1540.16 Dev Edition RUU files.
Just make sure that the modelid, cidnum, and mainver in android-info.txt of the zip match what's already on your phone (can get these values from the hboot screen) and change android-info.txt if you have to.
Code:
modelid: PN0712000
cidnum: BS_US001
mainver: 1.29.1540.16
btype:1
aareport:1
DelCache:1
hbootpreupdate:3
Then flash as mentioned in the earlier post, using 'fastboot oem rebootRUU' and 'fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'.

But anything you do to mod the HTC One is dangerous then of course if those scenarios you mention happens. But like you said highly unlikely.

[Q] HTC One HK ROM change to Europian

Hi all,
A few I bought an HTC One model, and faced that it is a HK model, with HK ROM but I want to use it Hungary. My question is that, can I switch from HK ROM to European ROM to get official OTA updates? I have googled it, but cannot find anything useful on this topic
My device is S-On
M7_UL PVT
cid: HTC__622
mid: PN0714000
main version: 2.24.708.4
hboot: 1.54.0000
radio: 4A.18.3250.15
os: 2.24.708.4
Thank you

S-OFF > Change CID & MID > Flash International RUU

Thank you,
What will be the impact on the device the changing of the cid and mid?
Exactly which RUU should I use, becuase I have found tons of these, and i really dont know which one to choose?
For example is RUU M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.28.401.7 Radio 4A.13.3231.27 10.31.1131.05 Release 310878 Signed OK for me?
it has different version numbers compared to what i have now

Use the 1.28.401.7 ruu this one here
changing mid and cid will allow you to run that ruu and receive ota, no others impact on the device.
unlock bootloader
install latest twrp recovery + root
s-off with rumrunner (might also require to flash a custom kernel like elementalx)
change cid
Code:
fastboot oem write cid HTC__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
change mid using this tool to PN0710000
downgrade hboot to 1.44 version using this file provided by nkk71
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip [COLOR="Red"]<---- twice[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
run the ruu.exe
update phone via ota to latest version
flash custom recovery + root again if you need it (optional)
better to stay s-off
make sure you are not using windows 8.1 to do this. Also make sure you have latest android sdk installed on your computer and latest htc drivers.
if you are going to root again after the conversion, keep a copy of your stock recovery. You will need it to receive future ota

I did it several times on my device. Got it new PN0711000 with that crappy Mexican .599 software. Converted to European .401 then converted to GPE .1700 then converted to dev .1540
much easier to do this now with the MID tool, was using eng hboot when I converted to European and gpe

those wont work for you, those are for M7_UL (PN0710000).
if you are on hboot 1.55 then your firmware will be 3.xx.401.x
if you really want to change firmware, recommend you go s-off, then you can flash unsigned firmware... for hboot 1.55 rumrunner and or firewater should work nicely.
I personally use these firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506

[Q] HTC One M7 Vodafone RUU

Hi,
I'm currently looking to turn my HTC One back to stock. It's unlocked but it had Vodafone UK branding and I can't seem to find the correct RUU in order to restore it to stock.
This is my CID and MID:
INFOmodelid: PN0710000
INFOcidnum: VODAP001
Firmware version is: 6.12.161.8
Hboot versionis: 1.57.0000
Could someone help me find the correct RUU? I would really appreciate it as I would like OTA updates ready for the official lollipop release coming in early 2015.
Thanks,
~ 5H1R42 ~

So again, if you want to use a RUU (and there is none for your version) you will need S-OFF.
If you don't want to s-off and you want to be able to receive ota updates again then your only hope is a 6.12.161.8 nandroid backup, because there is no 6.12.161.8 RUU and afaik there is no x.xx.161.x RUU.

[Q] Updating from REALLY OLD firmware.

A couple years ago, I unlocked/TWRPed/rooted/ROMed my phone - but I haven't touched it since. As a result, I haven't updated my firmware in a LONG time. I've been reading all afternoon, but I could use a little bit of help. Here's what I'm thinking my steps will be:
nandroid backup - I can't seem to get the phone mounted as a drive on my Mac, and HTC Sync Manager keeps crashing, but I'll figure out some way to pull the backup off...
S-OFF my phone - would you recommend Rumrunner? Any particular guide?
Using fastboot and this guy's advice, flash a bunch of firmwares onto my phone. Question: which firmwares do I need, and did how you know? I have to match my CID and MID, but how do I find all the firmware downloads that I've skipped? I don't suppose everyone flashes new versions of firmware the moment they're released, but I'm not sure how people "catch up"...

OK well your on the right track rumrunner should work for you to gain s-off. And that should be your first priority. Although rumrunner was developed for hboot 1.54 and 1.55 so if you run into issues you may need to flash the first 2 updates and a stock rom for it to work.
Once you have s-off which firmware to use depends largely on your situation. Your device is currently running At&t firmware. Are you still using the device on the At&t network? If not then it would probably be better to convert to Dev Edition or HTC Unbranded firmware.
Also with s-off it can be much easier to update the device using RUUs rather than just flashing firmware.zips.

I was told that I shouldn't skip firmware updates. Is that true?
I'm on hboot 1.44, so I don't anticipate any problems with S-OFFing, right?

That's right skipping firmware updates can brick your phone. Unless your using an RUU. RUUs contain a full firmware package so these can be used to skip a version but usually you need to be close to the RUU version for them to flash. Firmware updates however only include the updated part of the firmware. Skipping firmware updates can leave you with firmware incompatibility forcing the device into QHSUB USB DLOAD mode.
Try rumrunner with your current setup and see what happens. If it fails then make sure you have your backups safe. And relock your bootloader and flash this ruu. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
This will update your device to hboot 1.55 with a Jellybean 4.3 stock rom perfect for rumrunner. It will wipe your internal storage though so make sure you've got everything you want to keep backup.
Instructions....
Boot device to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. In the command window type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
The bootloader should now read ***RELOCKED***
Make sure that it is in fastbootusb mode. Then launch the ruu.exe on your pc. Follow the instructions to update the phone. Once that's done unlock the bootloader and try rumrunner again. :good:

I don't have access to a PC, so I need a .zip to flash - is that the most recent RUU?
Can you (or anyone else) hook me up with the list of .zip RUUs that I need to flash to get to the most current version of my firmware?
Also, I shouldn't need to re-lock with S-OFF, right?

It's not the most recent ruu no, but if you flash anything newer you will then need to use sunshine to s-off and it will cost you $25.
Any firmware or RUU will require access to a pc with fastboot. You can't flash firmware from recovery like a Rom. It has to be flashed in RUU mode.
You don't need to relock if your s-off but I think you will need to first update the device to hboot 1.55 before rumrunner will work. You can do that with this RUU then gain s-off then the sky's the limit

I should have been more specific - I don't have access to a Windows PC, so I can't run the .exe RUUs, but I can totally fastboot them on as .zip's.
Can you explain the need to use Sunshine with newer RUUs? And why/how it's necessary to update hboot to use rumrunner?

There are different methods for gaining s-off depending on your hboot version.
First we had Revone and Moonshine. Which was developed for hboot 1.44 then HTC released a patched firmware to prevent it from working. [You currently have the patched firmware. So these are not an option.]
Then there is Rumrunner. Which was developed for hboot 1.54 and updated for 1.55 and 1.56. Then again HTC released patched firmware to prevent Rumrunner from working with hboot 1.56. But it still should work with 1.54 and 1.55. [Since the suggested RUU should update your device to 1.55. So rumrunner should then work with the device.]
Then came Firewater. Which was developed for 1.56 and 1.57. But for reasons of his own the dev discontinued support of Firewater. [Subsequently it no longer works at all.]
Then came Sunshine App developed for hboot 1.57 and above. Very simple to use, but the devs decided to charge a license for for it so you have to pay $25 to use it. [While controversial the s-off devs have worked hard for us over the years. So why shouldn't they.]
So you see you basically have 2 choices to s-off. rumrunner (free to use only works with hboot 1.54 and 1.55).
Sunshine App ( in theory should work with any hboot version. But costs $25)
I'm not sure if that ruu is available in zip format I'll see what I can find and post the links here :good: you may need to manually update firmware and flash a stock Rom to use rumrunner. Or if you can spare the 25 bills just use sunshine for a one click solution :good:

OK try this one. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_ul_jb43_50_cingular_3-10-502-2-zip/ ATT RUU zip. I don't know if it's been modified in any way though. If it has it will fail to flash because it's not signed. And your s-on. If it's signed it should flash just fine if you relock the bootloader.

There are different methods for gaining s-off depending on your hboot version.
First we had Revone and Moonshine. Which was developed for hboot 1.44 then HTC released a patched firmware to prevent it from working. [You currently have the patched firmware. So these are not an option.]
Then there is Rumrunner. Which was developed for hboot 1.54 and updated for 1.55 and 1.56. Then again HTC released patched firmware to prevent Rumrunner from working with hboot 1.56. But it still should work with 1.54 and 1.55. [Since the suggested RUU should update your device to 1.55. So rumrunner should then work with the device.]

Correct me if I'm wrong; I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly:
hboot 1.44 with my firmware version isn't possible to S-OFF
Flashing RUUs will update my version of hboot, and the RUU you suggested is S-OFFable by rumrunner
I can't normally flash RUUs without S-OFF, but the RUU you suggested matches my CID and MID so it will work
Once I'm at hboot 1.55 after flashing that RUU, and S-OFFed after rumrunner, I should be able to flash more recent RUUs without losing my S-OFF
Why / how might I need to flash firmware manually and flash a stock ROM to use rumrunner?

hboot 1.44 with my firmware version isn't possible to S-OFF <----- Correct because you have the latest 1.44 firmware as indicated by .15 on the end of your OS Version
Flashing RUUs will update my version of hboot, and the RUU you suggested is S-OFFable by rumrunner <----- Correct the Ruu will update your firmware hboot and rom completely stock. Rumrunner should work with this combination.
I can't normally flash RUUs without S-OFF, but the RUU you suggested matches my CID and MID so it will work. You can flash ruu's with s-on but the ruu must match your CiD, MiD You must relock the bootloader and the ruu must be unmodified and carry a HTC signiture. .exe ruu's are all HTC signed, Ruu zips can be modified so are not all guaranteed to work with s-on
Once I'm at hboot 1.55 after flashing that RUU, and S-OFFed after rumrunner, I should be able to flash more recent RUUs without losing my S-OFF <----- Correct, although you can update your firmware and flash the latest ruu with s-on but you will then have to pay for sunshine to get s-off so it's better to do it for free with rumrunner on the way. And No flashing RUUS will not affect s-off. The only way to go back to s-on requires a specific fastboot command.

As your still on the att network you do have another option. You could flash this rom http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_1-26-502-15-zip/
This is a guru reset rom that matches your current firmware. You can return your software to stock by flashing it in a custom recovery like a normal rom. It comes with some option of which you should choose
Stock radio = Yes
Stock recovery = Yes
Root = No
Once it's installed you'll have full stock rom and recovery, because your on the att network you will be able to accept OTA updates. Take the first to updates to hboot 1.55 then use Rumrunner then you could either manually flash the rest of the updates or just continue to take OTA's until your on the latest firmware and rom. Once that's done you can flash TWRP and any lollipop custom roms you like :good:
Edit:- Also forgot to mention with this method there is no need to relock the bootloader :good:
