My phone is unlocked and S-OFF but I've recently flashed the latest Lollipop OTA.
Can anyone tell me if I can just flash an old HBoot (v1.44) and use it successfully with this stock rom?
The reason I want 1.44 is for it's ability to 'fastboot boot recovery' which as far as I know can't be done with later versions.
Thanks in advance

So friends, Need help on this.
Got a new HTC ONE. updated ota to 2.24 / 4.2.2
hboot 1.54 - son
unlocked the bootloader
now the issue is, cwm touch and twrp touch don't work at all. the touch is absolutely unresponsive in recovery mode.
tried through normal cwm which works fine, but installing a custom rom with aroma gives the same issue.
Have been trying to downgrade to stock 1.29 so that i can go back to hboot 1.44 after relocking the device but it says bootloader signature failed.
any help or advice on either how to downgrade to hboot 1.44 or make the recovery responsive again.
please help, thank you!

make sure your TWRP version matches your Firmware and Android Version

You can't downgrade your Hboot when you're S-On ... I'm not even sure if you can when you're S-Off. The problem is not what OS or Hboot you are on, it's the version of TWRP or CWM. What version have you installed? You need the latest version in order for it work as touch drivers were updated in the latest firmware. You have the same OS and Hboot as me and touch works fine in the latest version ... Make sure you have this version installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
Everything works fine on that as I have the same OS and Hboot as you.

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.
I hoping I can get some clarification on this subject. I may have to take my phone into Sprint for either repair or new phone since it will not connect to the newly added 4G network in my area. So going back to stock my be needed for me to do so.
Since the RUU for the 4.4.2 update isn't available yet, is there a way to downgrade back to 4.3 so I can return back to stock? I did the OTA update in stock, then gained root access.
Does the process require me to turn S-Off? I'm currently S-On running Running Bad Boyz Sprint ONE KitKat v1.0.
If I go S-Off, is there a way to turn it back S-On? Not sure if Sprint will look at this setting.
Also, I have the update radio and hboot
HBOOT- 1.56.0000
RADIO- 1.00.20.1108
OS- 4.06.651.4
Will I have to downgrade my hboot as well?
Any help will be much appreciated

You're S-On. Your only option is to perform a factory reset, flash the stock recovery and re-lock your bootloader.

My phone right now is unlocked and with s-off. I was thinking I could relock the bootloader and run RUU to go back to complete stock (with S-OFF). My question is can I install the tmo update with S-OFF? Has anyone done this before? Or do I have to go back to S-ON in order to install the update?
I know that rumrunner does not work with HBOOT 1.56.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, thank you.

don't think S-OFF or unlocked matters, just stock rom and recovery required
if i run RUU will that give me stock recovery?

If you have a ruu for your currently installed rom, you can extract the recovery from the zip and install.
Otherwise

My phone is unlocked/S-OFF. On the previous OTA updates, all I had to do was reflash the stock recovery and the updates proceeded normally, installed just fine. On this new OTA update to 4.4.2, however, that didn't work. I tried relocking the bootloader, flashed the stock recovery... nothing worked (it would get the red slash during the recovery part of the OTA update). Evidently, T-Mobile/HTC are now much more picky about modified devices.
So, to get the OTA to work, I had to run the last RUU from T-Mobile. That, of course, wiped my phone clean, but installed a locked fresh 4.3.1 ROM (still S-OFF). Then the OTA update ran perfectly, resulting in the 4.4.2 OS installed. Then I unlocked it, flashed TWRP recovery and rooted it. It's working beautifully.

1st you're at 1.44 hboot so before update software update hboot to 1.54 then move further
2 search stock Rom reset Or nandroid backup for your software version you can apply that in TWRP but OTA never be applied in TWRP
