Stay on old HBOOT and wait for S-OFF - HTC One X

I just got my HTC One X S-ON and the first noobish question I got is, whether it's recommended to upgrade through official HTC OTA and unlock at HTC dev.
Should I stay on 0.43 to hopefully gain easier S-OFF or can I update manually somehow without upgrading H.BOOT ? Or is it safe to say that you can downgrade and relock H.BOOT, when S-OFF is succesfully done.
Had a hard time on previous HTC models, so are afraid of the official ota ;-)
I hope you can answer me

Help restoring HTC Desire to stock

I have a HTC Desire (Bravo), rooted and running CyanogeMod 7.1:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
I understand there are several threads about restoring, but I am wondering about these specific versions and S-ON. Can anyone please advise is it safe to use
PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
to restore to stock? Can I just copy it as PB99IMG.zip on a SD card, hold down and flash via HBOOT?
I am sincerely grateful for any help!
Hello! to revert your phone back to stock you need the RUU, you can grab the HTC desire android 2.3 ruu here:http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Unzip it, run the program, follow the instructions and BANG your s-on no root total stock htc desire
Use the latest 2.2 RUU instead of the 2.3 DEVELOPER RUU, because aside having 127MB internal memory it brings nothing much more.

Pick up a 2.2 RUU, because the 2.3 RUU for Desire is without warranty.
Actually HTC honour warranty on 2.3

Really? Hmm.. I though that not, because HTC said that is only at own risk.
But maybe you´re right
Hi there. Similar - but different - question. Water damage. Phone went to insurers. They fixed it and sent it back 8 weeks ago. I downloaded and installed 2.3 from htcdev. Seemed to work ok for some weeks. Now battery almost useless....it runs out in less than half a day. It was fine before it went. I can't start camera app or camcorderor any camera-dependent apps. I also dont see charging light when phone connected. Question(s) is do you think it's the 2.3 update or is it symptoms of previous damage - water? Should I roll back update or would the insurers accept it with 2.3? If htc accept 2.3 then insurer should too no?
Oh and to roll back to 2.2 can I just flash stock 2.2 WWE? Unlocked unbranded Desire
Charging light work when phone off? If not, hardware

I have tried to run the program and i seems to work untill it's waiting for the bootloader. It keeps saying waiting for bootloader and after a while my phone just reboots and comes with an USB connection error. Can somebody help me ?
Yes, my guide

[Q] Umph... HBOOT Question.

Hello!
I just recently brought a htc wildfire S. I thought it would be easy to s-off just like my other htc (Desire HD).
But the question is, if the update; updates the HBOOT, can`t we find a matching HBOOT of the Hboot from a other device? Like HBOOT 1.03 and find another device which has the same HBOOT, and use their method to S-OFF?
i think every device has another... (but im not sure!)
Every device, wildfire, wildfire s, desire and not the same hboot, so they are not compatible.

Yes, thats why we want, that devs come and try to unlock bootloader of the wildfire s.
Next time, pls look for the threads they are here in forum. We have enough s-off requests, pls go in the threads

Driving me wild (fire)

Hiya folks!
I unlocked my daughter Wildfire S hboot via HTC-Dev when it was first released and upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 EU to get rid of the 3 bloatware on the original rom, I did not root at the time as it was still in its very infant stage and did not wish to give my daughter my Rooted Desire through bricking hers!
Now the time has come to root as she is constantly telling me of a space shortage...I know we've all been there..so thinking the Hboot was still unlocked I ran through HTC super tool 3 , tried a couple of times with no success so realized there must be something I've missed, I checked the hboot was still unlocked in the pink text I believe it was to find that it no longer states unlocked, locked or any extra text just,

So my question is what is the next step? can I unlock it again some how?, I've rooted and I rom hop constantly with my Desire but this phone is being a royal pain! So did the upgrade relock the Hboot? cheers in advance folks,

Go to htcdev and follow instructions to unlock your bootloader.Once it's unlocked, you should see "UNLOCKED" at the top when you boot ur phone.
And then you can root the phone.

OK Ta I wondered if I had to do it again, I guess as I have already updated to 2.3.5 from the first time I can skip that part and precede to straight step 1 ?
Did you tried this? I had problem with rooting my wfs, I can't find script i used right now. I'll update this post if i will find it.
What happened is that the 2.3.5 update changed your HBOOT from the previous one.......Go to htcdev.com start the unlock process and when prompted to download an RUU........ just download the RUU with the software more than the one you are having..... in your case the Europe RUU and just follow the instructions thereafter.....
Right got 'ERROR 190 ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED' please upgrade to 2.13.401.3 to apply this RUU, can I use a different RUU csoulr66 other than EU?
Wish I'd done this in one hit rather than in parts! Thanks in advance all!!!
You're 100% sure that you grabbed proper RUU? According to error you get and htcdev it should be this:
HTC EU 2.13.401.3 PG7610000 - sry can't give you direct link because of forum limitation for users under 8 posts
have you made a goldcard????? Because you will need one to run an RUU

I have a unlocked phone but I never hear about goldcard, are you sure it's needed ?
A goldcard is used to debrand the CID. Without a goldcard, you cant install diags/downgrade/etc because the CID is branded with your carrier.
I had this problem originally, all you have to do is run a stock rom RUU (From the list supplied by football in the stickies) with a goldcard. Then go back to the HTC dev website and upgrade the hboot.

All done, I could not down load any of the links from 'footballs' thread, busy..no free slots etc , so I found a Spanish site and upgraded to 'Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989' then all worked as it should following the instructions on the HTC DEV site, rooted and running SENSELESS_2.3.5_jermzii_v.1.2, thanks all!!

I understand you're full of questions but you seriously should use "Search" and Google.

Search is your friend
S-off allows you to write to partitions we can't normally. It will allow you to downgrade your bootloader and stuff like that. It doesn't void your warranty, in fact it helps keep it. Once you have unlocked your bootloader when you lock it again it says relocked, with s-off you can change it back to locked.
Your cid is your region/carrier Id. While your phone is s-on you can only flash ruus from your region/carrier. With s-off you can change to supercid which let's you flash from any region/carrier allowing you to debrand your phone

Just wanted to chime in about this S-off thing
Hi! I am a first time Android user. After reading threads here in XDA for months, I have come to realize that the more I learn, the more I know that I have got more that I can't understand. My HOX has a software number of 1.15.401.1 and I have learned that this software build is a demo/pre-release build which explains why I can't receive OTA updates despite checking for it everyday. I've been in touch with HTC about this but they can't answer me with a straight answer, to the point that they're actually advising me to wait for the update on the first quarter of 2013! Anyway, I am fed up with HTC and decided to take matters on my own(with your help, of course). Anyway, to put it simply, I am asking you on how to install a stock ROM for my phone. How do I know the correct RUU for my phone that I should download(I am in the Philippines)? What are the tools I need to get/download? What are the words I need to type in cmd.exe? Etc. Anyway, some info I know about my phone are these: my phone is S-Off, I have a CID of 11111111, it is unrooted, I never touched on that 'unlock bootloader' thingy on HTDev. Also, I am providing some screenshots from my phone if it can help my my issue. I hope you can help me guys. And if you're going to teach me, feel free treat me like a 5th grader. Thanks!

how do I install it on my phone though?
Download it, run it, connect the phone when prompted. Make sure you have Sync Manager installed first for the drivers...

HTC One X with S-ON and SuperCID. How to get OTA JB?

Hello,
I've got an HTC One X with S-ON HBOOT 1.12 and SuperCID (11111111). I've seen recently HTC pushed JB 4.1 update, but I am not getting it. I've got a suspicion it is because I have this SuperCID. Can I change it to normal HTC__001 (international)? I've tried fastboot oem writecid HTC__001, but my phone just freezes and I need to reboot it. I've seen similar problem here, but no useful info there
Can anyone help me out please?
You need Soff to change CID. You can manually flash the firmware, just have a look around the development section.
