[Q] [Question] Downgrade with S-On ?

I'm very unhappy about S-Off.
Mine is M8y with CID HTC__622 (Hong Kong) - comes with 1.60.708.2 (Unable to S-Off with Firewater).
And my VISA and Master Cards (from Myanmar) are not accepted during in-app purchase of Sunshine, too.
So, I'm googling every info for S-Off...
Is it possible to downgrade with S-On like in this page:
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7496959-1-1.html
I don't know Chinese and Google Translated results are hard to be understood
Please, help me...

I would not follow instructions I cannot understand or were translated by Google.....
Can't you use PayPal to pay for Sunshine?

Neither can I link my cards to PayPal, too

OMG
That works for Downgrade with S-ON
Now from 1.60.708.x to 1.54.708.5.
Now unlocking BL.
Will let u know Firewater works or not

OMG
Chugging . . .

Then what ?

You can't downgrade the firmware with s-on....no way. You can only "downgrade" the software and leave the firmware intact !
Like a 1.54 official is going back to a 1.12 software but the hboot (total firmware) never change.

Did I say something about downgrading firmware?
Yes, I've downgraded software only and then using OTA upgraded to newest 4.4.3 (can't remember the build).

Please anyone can answer me : if i get S-OFF can phone receive update OTA via wifi

Yes you will still receive OTA via Wi-Fi..

If you are on stock then S Off doesn't affect OTA.

Can someone please give a stock rom (marshmallow) of HTC One M9

Hi everybody, I have a HTC One M9 with bootloader unlocked and TWRP is installed on it but with S-ON. It's running on lollipop 5.1.
i could not gain S-OFF because i have to pay for it through sunshine application. But the problem is i am living in SENEGAL so there is no paypal. All the rom i have flashed fail to boot. I would like to get back to stock rom, unroot and relock the bootloader so that i can get the OTA update of marshmallow. but I could not find any stock marshmallow online for my phone. i would be very happy if someone can help me with a stock firmware. Here are the informations about my phone:
HTC ONE M9
CID: HTC_621 TWM TW
BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED
S-ON
CURRENTLY RUNNING ON ANDROID 5.1

Set up fastboot and do the command : fastboot getvar all, and report back

Hi mtraore21,
It looks like you've got your CID. Have you looked at Flippy498's Back-to-Stock spreadsheet? It looks like there are some RUU files that might help you.
An important caveat: you'll want to be sure you were flashing a RUU that was a lower version than the firmware you currently have - my understanding is that you'll damage your phone, or at least soft-brick it if you do that.

Have you tried the HTC website? I had a very similiar situation with my phone and downloaded the current ROM from there - an RUU file that all I had to do was double-click to run and it did everything else. My M9 was returned to "factory new" when it finished. I worried myself half to death but it was SOOO simple! Just find your particular "variant" from the website and select "download".

S-Off, Unlocked - No OTA

Hi,
As much as I tried to look for this information, I didn't find a clear answer.
I have an M9 running 1.32.401.17 (stock recovery, from an old RUU), which is S-Off with unlocked bootloader. I was really expecting to get all the OTAs, so you can imagine my surprise when I didn't get any.
I then thought that I need to relock the bootloader, and then I will receive the OTAs. I relocked the bootloader, and again - no OTAs.
1. For an S-Off phone, should one receive OTAs with unlocked bootloader, or does one have to relock the bootloader (if so, to "locked" or to "relocked") to get OTAs?
2. Is the OS version on my phone so old that OTAs are not provided anymore?
3. Does it mean that if I manage to get a more "contemporary" OS version on my phone I'll get the OTAs?
4. If none of the above are correct, what do I need to do to get OTAs on my S-Off M9?
Thank you very much.
Adrian

Thanks to the fantastic post from Nikolay82 "HTC One M9 - 3.35.401.12 RUU installer how to guide!"
https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/help/htc-one-m9-3-35-401-12-ruu-installer-t3318517
I managed to upgrade to 1.40.401.8.
After that I started to get OTAs (I'm now at 3.35.401.12) . So I can confirm that one doesn't need to relock the bootloader for an S-Off phone in order to receive OTAs (S-Off and UNLOCKED is fine).
I still don't know why I didn't get any OTA update for 1.32.401.17, but I'm happy that it worked from 1.40.410.8.
Cheers

Correct bootloader unlocked makes no difference. S-off makes no difference.
There is a possibility that htc have stopped the release of the earliest firmware. There is also a possibility that there was a problem but it would be solved by the update you did.

Even with S-ON you can receive updates with an unlocked bootloader.
The reason for your issue was the firmware you were using. 1.32.401.17 only got distributed in one single country. Therefore, only one specific CID of the handful of CIDs that belong to SKU 401 supports this "special" firmware version. In other words, you can't update a M9 and are stuck with that firmware if you aren't using the supported CID. The only solution is flashing a RUU with a different firmware version. That's why the RUU for 1.32.401.17 isn't linked in the ReadMe thread.
Edit: I can't tell you which CID actually corresponds to that "special" version since I forgot which one it was.

help me choosing the right RUU file for my HTC one M9

hello friends... currently i have a htc one m9 which i bought from another person. currently i m using viperone m9 4.3.0 marshmallow rom. current CID = 1111111 and MID=OPJA12000, i got this information from download-mode. ..( Baseband version =01.01_U11440792 ,and build number =3.35.401.12) . Unlocked+ S-OFF status. now , i m wanting to get back to full stock marshmallow.. so . i got "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_TMUS_MR_TMOUS_3.39.531.41.zip" for my device to flash it through manualy from download mode..is it ok for my device model? and ,can i fully unlock the bootloader and install TWRP on that version? thanks in advance ...

No. You must find one that matches the 401 sku. Find the firmware ruu 3.35.401.12 as a zip file (not exe).
You also need to change the cid before you flash to htc_001. The mid might need to be changed too but I can't remember what it is.. Too stoned.. '0PJA10000'..?
Do not s-on. Do not lock/relock the bootloader.
Once stock you can take the ota updates to nougat and reroot etc..
