Software number : 3.32.707.9
Anyone has please upload it for me. Please and thank you. Your help will be appreciated.

use an older nandroid backup from the collection thread and restore it. flash back the stock recovery and perform the needed ota's to get to the desired version.
done....

Why are you trying to downgrade? You can't downgrade to s-off, if that is what you are trying to do (and the most common reason folks ask about "downgrading").

yeah defo needs to be s off or no chance of downgrading

My device is already S-off. I want to downgrade it due to temp root. :fingers-crossed:

NO RUU only nandroid backup on your main version
And post in the Q&A. This is the general section !
I just don't understand why people don't make nandroid backups. I would never even think about flasing a custom rom unless I have way back.

Downgrade 4.4.4 to 4.4.3 Procedure

Can someone please provide me with step by step instructions on how to downgrade a Rogers Canada HTC One M8 running 4.4.4 to the previous version of 4.4.3 please. The phone is unlocked through HTC Dev, rooted and running TWRP. I don't care if I lose all my data, I am perfectly willing to start fresh.
Thank You.

Since I couldn't find a RUU exe for your variant, This link will point you to a TWRP Nandroid backup of 4.4.3 for ROGER001: https://mega.co.nz/#!dZBWnLjD!3p951Y_HW_ibCMeQanA7vIj0GDy1b3w4YJCO0RINhls
Simply restore this using TWRP custom recovery. You can flash the stock recovery if you wish by downloading the 4.4.3 OTA and extracting recovery.img.
Visit the thread here if you need more information how to restore it properly:

Thank you, that procedure worked and I am back to 4.4.3

The procedure is the same, read up a few guides on that. All you need to do after the standard procedure is restore my backup from the stock backups thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
You can't 100% downgrade without S-OFF, and that's apparently not available with Lollipop yet

Help with update to lollipop

Hi there,
I want to update to lollipop, and i install insertcoin last ROM, but i have issues in wi-fi and baterry because i´m not S-OFF to prepare my device to this ROM.
What is the best way, downgrade to Android 4.4 ROM, put it S-off with some method or downgrade to original Android 4.4 and then update OTA.
What is the bst choice and if someone can help me with the methods?
Regards

I don't believe downgrading is an option if you're s-on. But you can flash the stock ruu for the last version you were on and ota. Or possibly flash a newer version ruu. (guessing about that... I've always been s-off, so haven't needed to use ruu's) But check in that thread.
And to s-off, Sunshine is your only option now.
Good luck!
If i buy the license to s-off, i only need to install the latest version of insercoin, or i need to update more things?
Regards
To s-off, you'll need stock, or a close to rom... Many use maximus. But not sure about newer versions... You might need an older version.
Then s-off with Sunshine and go Here...

Easy!

S-off, maximusHD question

Hi guys,
I just got an HTC 10 and i'm coming directly from the 'ol ONE S.
Questions are: I just want to install the latest MaximusHD rom on my device (I already unlocked it and installed TWRP). What can happen if i don't do the S-off with sunshine? Will I miss the opportunity to get OTA? What will happen when Nougat OTA is out? Without s-off can I still update the phone with the RUU and then install the latest nougat maximus?
Thanks in advance!!!
Nicola
You don't need S-off for any of that stuff.
Install Maximus, and when that gets updated to Nougat just flash the latest version. You won't get OTAs from htc anyway when on a custom Rom.
S-off is only needed for you if you want to downgrade your software to an older version through an ruu, or if you want to flash an ruu that wasn't made for your phone. You can still flash an ruu while s-on as long as it's made for your phone (mid) version and is at least at the same firmware version you are already at.
