How does one downgrade the firmware?

I have the Indian HTC one X rooted with 1.28.720.10 and can't find the RUU anywhere.
I've been facing a lot of problems with it - including the disk space mysteriously vanishing, (20 gigs gone in my case) and so I want to revert it to a stock unrooted state before returning it for a replacement.
Already seen this thread for the AT&T version, and the sdcard does not have a mmcblk0p23 as stated.
I have the RUU for an older version(1.26.720.2) from the RUU thread so I want to downgrade the firmware to that one.
Anyone tried a variation of the AT&T method? Or is there another way to downgrade the firmware...or am I SOL?

wrong place to ask for. for all type of question there is a veeery big Q&A thread qo and ask there

You can't downgrade the firmware once updated the hboot and radio. You'll have to wait till s- off is achieved for that. What you can do is flash a stock rom (1.26), flash stock recovery, re lock bootloader (in order) and then flash the 1.28, subsequently 1.29.x firmware update ruu. If you want to get rid of the sd space issue, why not flash one of the many 1.29.x and 2.x based roms on the forum?
Wrong section btw. Anyway, best of luck!
Thank me if I helped.... You know I'll do it again Oh, and by the way, Sent from my HTC One X

Yeah, you can't flash an RUU that would take the hboot to a previous version. A few Chinese sites mention the 1.28.720.10 RUU, but I can't translate from my phone.
As said, just install ARHD 7.1 or whatever if you're already unlocked.

Can I upgrade to JellyBean via OTA?

Hey there
I have been facing this problem, or more like wondering about it for a while now.
I upgraded my HBOOT to 1.31 and I had ARHD15 and then Viper X installed. Then the official Jelly Bean OTA update started rolling out to HTC devices and I was excited, so I decided I want to go back to the latest stock ROM so I can receive it when I tap "Check for Updates" under "Software Updates". I tried to use a stock RUU but of course that failed since my "get-var" thing says that I have a newer version than the latest one. Mine is 3+ while the latest one is 2+ if that makes any sense. I looked through all the stock RUUs but there wasn't any compatible one.
So I decided I should find another way to install the stock ICS ROM and I did. I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
Anyway, I installed it, rooted the device, and then flashed the stock recovery so I would prepare my device for the OTA update.
I have a:
CID: HTC__J15
Region: .401 (WWE I believe)
This is the latest RUU I found:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.12_Radio_2.1204.127.19_release_271851_signed.exe
However, mine is 3.27.401 if I remember correctly, therefore I cannot install the above one.
So anyway, is my device ready to receive the OTA update now or am I just fooling myself since I didn't go back to stock using the stock RUU?

Any help or information is really appreciated as I have been squeezing my brain about this for a while now and it's getting frustrating and I honestly feel stupid.
Thank you

Since you updated hboot you can't use the latest RUU (2.17.401.2).
I'm not sure Mikes stock ROM will allow you to install the OTA, you might have better luck if you restore a 2.17.401.2 backup, there's a thread for that.

Thanks for your reply. You mean I can restore using a NANDROID backup that I download from the internet, for instance? I am assuming that is flashed through CWM recovery, correct? Would you please link me to the correct thread if it's not too much to ask? I'll be searching for it in the mean time.
Thanks a lot.

Yes

It was about the third thread in general section.

Thank you so much, but unfortunately my CID (HTC_J15) is one of the missing CIDs. I guess I am unlucky.

The CID has little to do with the backup, you just need a backup for 2.17.401.2, which is there.

Well, since CID has little to do with it, would it be possible to flash 3.14.401.27 if I have 1.31 HBOOT?

You still need the right CID to flash the OTA as it checks so you have to be on one of the ones that have had JB so far...

Oh.. well then I suppose I cannot flash the JB Nandroid since my CID J_15 did not officially receive JB yet. I hate you, HTC!!! lol

There really isn't. If firewater doesn't work then you either opt to pay $25 for sunshine or stay s-on forever.
Look at the bright side. At least you have options. With my One X i was stuck with s-on forever

S-off

Please anyway to do s-off for htc one x 4.4.2 , hboot 1.72 i'm really need it

hi
first thing htc one x with S-ON cannot be S-OFF because thesis the boot security level of your htc
S-ON = security on
the really problem is with S-ON you can't downgrade your hboot level example:
from 1.72 to 1.23 actually thesis impossible ride now and i think nobody resolve it
but you can downgrade it only if you have S-OFF
but if you want to install the stock rom first thing you should see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
thanks allot to matt95 that created this thread to collect the nandroid backup of the htc one x this tread may help you like me because i have a HOX with S-ON with
hboot 1.72 and i forget to do a nandroid backup of my stock rom

Upgrade from old version of PureFusion?

Hi there, everyone.
I have a big or small problem. I want to be able to flash the newest Lineage or pixel experience, but I'm not sure how to upgrade the firmware. Below, you can see the version of PureFusion. I searched the forums and it sees that i need to upgrade the firmware first as i'm on the old nougat one.
The problem comes now, my phone is UNLOCKED, but S-ON and the CID is HTC_034 Europe. I'm not sure what method to use to upgrade the firmware, as it's a bit vague. For some CID you can't find the files, or other stuff. Can someone help me with some information in this case?

Totally wrong, the current purefusion rom has nothing to do with upgrading your firmware. You need to enter download mode, look at your OS number and search for the ruu that matches that number. Flash it, update and flash TWRP, than the desired rom. Whatever purefusion is showing is not what you need
