Hi.
Lots of people seem to be having issues when trying to downgrade their Wildfire from a carrier-branded version (HBOOT 1.01.0002) to unbranded WWE (HBOOT 1.01.0001).
I made a small package to help you do this.
http://www.mediafire.com/?adny69lbvzbs1yg
Extract this package somewhere you can find it, like C:\buzzdowngrade
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2.
After you've made the goldcard, and inserted it, continue with step 2.
Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2.
Thanks You Sir

Format your SD card, generate a goldcard image online (sorry, can't remember right now, should be floating around the forum), use DD to "flash" it to the raw SD card device (/dev/sde or something like this, do "sudo fdisk -l" to find out exactly). MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT DEVICE. If not, you can easily overwrite the bootloader and/or partition table. Both are annoying, but fixable as long as you have some kind of Live CD around.
Since the RUU is Windows-only, get the script called OpenRUU. It should be around this forum. Follow the instructions to extract rom.zip out of the RUU and debrand.
Worked Effortlessly..
Vodafone 0002 Down to 0001 and S-OFF'ed
Install Clockwork and CM7 tomorrow =)
Thanks a bunch for this.

Please help Alpharev not working for me.
here my phone detail-
Model- HTC incredible S
Bootloader- 1.13.0000
Brand- htc_asia_india
kernal- 2.6.35.9-g529446e
Baseband- 20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M
BUILD NUMBER- 2.12.720.5 CL37872 release-keys
Software number- 2.12.720.5
Android version- 2.3.3
I tried every thing for s-off, always getting error- Root failed. Press anykey for exit.
Alpharev is not working for me , Please help me.
I followed these steps mentioned here--
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-s-off-htc-incredible-s-alpharev-hack-tool/
Hope anyone help me out..
I easily got s-off on my HTC desire S..
(For Example, on some Indian/Asian HTC Incredible S phones, this tool would get stuck here and the process won’t start. They need to install Optus RUU first in order to make this tool run — I’ve done the same, actually, on my Indian Incredible S. So, if it gets stuck, maybe, there is a problem with your phone then — better Google it. Good luck!).

There's your problem. You need to create a Goldcard and flash an RUU that's compatible with AlphaRevX and then try again.
from Revolutionary
Optus RUU 2.12.980.2 / Virgin RUU 2.12.981.2 .. Most Incredible S ROM versions with Gingerbread have been patched. If your Gingerbread version is lower than 2.12.980.2, then use the Optus/Virgin RUU with a goldcard to upgrade to Optus RUU 2.12.980.2 / Virgin RUU 2.12.981.2, then you can use Revolutionary. .. Versions higher than 2.12.980.2 will have to wait until
a new temproot is released. Known patched versions lower are: 2.12.720.5 and 2.12.774.6 and probably all 2.12.7*.*

From a guide FOUND HERE
Special thanks to JohnAnderton on this info :
If AlphaRevX isn't working for you (kept "hanging" at Step 2 i.e. attempting to get root). This was because AlphaRevX doesn't work with certain carrier variants are GingerBreak patched
It didn't work for me on the India/Asia version.
To check your software version, go to settings > about > software version > build version. If it says 2.12.720.5, I'm sorry but you'll have to do the Optus/Virgin AU ROM installation.
Here are the steps to do that:
1) Download the Optus ROM (261 MB)
2) create a gold card
3) run the ROM installer and wait for it to extract, go to your tmp folder (start > run > %tmp% > sort by date > see newest folder > dig in deep and find rom.zip)
4) take rom.zip and put it on your SD with the name PG32IMG.zip
5) Reboot your phone into boot loader (this can be done by switching your phone off, waiting 5 seconds, turning your phone on with the volume down pressed). It will see that you have PG35IMG.zip so it will verify and install it. It will come to the boot loader again and once it's done installing it will load the OS (the regular HTC white page followed by Optus' logo. Once you're in the OS, remove PG32IMG.zip

theres a new update with revolutionary and you can now s-off the htc inc s with gingerbread.
it took me 3 mins to s-off
Ok. Let me clear this out (once again).
AlphaRevX does not work on all versions. Versions known not to work at include the stock OTA GB upgrade that Indians (such as myself) got and 2.30.xx and some versions above.
Why doesn't AlphaRevX work everywhere? Because HTC patched the temp root exploit gingerbreak used (AlphaRevX uses gingerbreak in step 2).
Use Revoluionary. It uses a different temp root method and for now, works on all (as far as I know) versions of HTC Inc S.
http://revolutionary.io
How do you use it? The same way you always used AlphaRevX?
Want a tutorial.. you really should use search but meh, here you go..

And if you would have looked decently well, you would have found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14865832&postcount=32 which clearly states that AlphaRevX doesn't work on the Indian GB ROM (I know cause I was there on Day 1 of AlphaRevX going public). That post always gives a solution..
Anything else?

Hello everyone, this is my first post at XDA Devs. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this since there are lots and lots of infos in these forums.
However, although I have been reading for hours and keept on trying, I haven't been able to S-OFF my Incredible S. I hope someone can tell me what to focus on or what I might have missed.

John, you say this, but I am pretty positive that it somehow doesn't work on my phone.
Here's my situation:
I have a Windows 7 x64 system and a HTC Incredible S S710e phone with Android 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1 and the Software number is 2.30.405.1.
I live in Germany and that's where I bought my phone so I assume it has the European shipping ROM running.
I downloaded the Revolutionary tool from http://revolutionary.io/ and generated a beta-key. I disabled fast boot, enabled debugging, rebooted the phone and went into airplane mode. Still - the patch won't work. It's not like with all the other users that it gets stuck after a few minutes. It tells me "failed to get root " right after a few seconds. I tried this at least 25 times now in different combinations with AntiVir on and off, with airplane mode on and off, with Disk Drive mode and Charge Only mode. Always with the same "failed to get root" result.
So I found another solution: the GoldCard. That's what I did. I got a fresh SD Card, formatted it into FAT32. I created a goldcard image with my reversed CID via http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and used the Hex-Editor to modify the values. I downloaded the Optus ROM [RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Optus_AU_2.12.980.2_R_Radio _20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185028_s igned] from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 but the HBOOT loader told me "Update failed - Main Version is older" or something like that.
In another thread, someone said I had to install the same or a newer software version of what I have. So I installed the same: 2.30.405.1. No error message, the Update was successful. But: the phone is still in S-ON. Well, it wasn't the Optus ROM after all...
My question is: which ROM do I have to install via GoldCard so that I can get S-OFF - either instantly or after then applying Revolutionary?
I'm very sorry if there is already the solution for this somewhere here but I used the search function genuinely and never found it. I'm not a forum noob - just to this one.
I have read these threads and guides:

Version 2.30.405.1 has been succesfully S-Off'd using Revolutionary. Did you also download and install the HTC Windows drivers from the Revolutionary documentation page?.
No, I have not.
I always read I had to install the latest version of HTC sync to get the drivers and then de-install the Sync program. But I didn't try any Revolutionary drivers yet.
Thank you for that tip, I will try tomorrow and give feedback.

to me it is the same, I bought my HTC Incredible S (s700e) on amazon and it came with unlocked and updated version gingerbread asian rom.
(RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.12.707.5_Radio_20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_190036_signed).
I did the gold card and put the rom of Korea.
(RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.21.1010.4_Radio_20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_194748_signed).
and now I can replace the rom that I had, says error [140]: error bootloader version, I wanted to put in s-off but I can not my phone is anchored to the korea rom that is not someone to make this happen?
Okay, I can't believe it just went so fast.
It turned out I had already downloded and used the drivers given in the revolutionary documentation. [can't put links here, I'm too fresh for this forum]
I tried it again with those but it didn't work. While I was re-reading the documentation, I noticed that a newer version of the revolutionary tool has been published since I first downloaded and tried it so many times.
My first version 0.3pre7 couldn't do it but the now available version 0.4pre4 did the trick!! My phone is now S-OFF!
It was so simple this time. Used the drivers mentioned above, downloaded the 0.4pre4 revolutionary and generated the beta key. Started the phone with enabled debugging, disabled fastboot and went into airplane mode. I deactiveted Windows Firewall and AVG AntiVir on my Win7 x64 PC. I started the tool, waited for 3 minutes for the phone to reboot a few times and after the success it even installed the clockmod recovery thingy.
Great work, AlphaRev and unrevoked. I will donate!!
Thank you also tpbklake for making me aware of the documentation again.

Go to the site http://revolutionary.io and read their documentation page completely. Install the appropriate drivers and then download the most current version and get a new beta key. Your HBOOT can be S-OFF using Revolutionary, you just need to follow the instructions completely.
install the latest htc sync and uninstall the htc sync alone keeping the drivers...now try the revolutionary step again..

In ur case revolutionary s-off works 100%
tested my self
I need some help with the moonshine style of S-Off for the HTC one on At&T , I did the S-OFF on the HTC One X when it first was available with no problem, but this one has got me. I have done all that is required for the instructions on http://moonshine.io/, downloaded the right version for my OS (checked several times of the version number of 1.26.502.12. Boot loader is unlocked to HTC Dev. , rooted etc all that stuff and I keep getting the same thing as the attachment. The tool goes so far then stops with many lines of ......... for as long as I let it. Need some help, I know I am doing something wrong but don't know what.
I have solved the problem, don't need help now. Achieved S-OFF and supercid
Hello,
probably silly question and you will order me to study xda.
Unfortunately, i have came through almost every single topic, and can't get to "move" from my situation.
I received Htc One with Hboot v 1.54.000, locked bootloader - S-ON.
Software number 2.24.111.5 (android 4.2.2 with Sense 5). My cid (read through CidGetter from playstore) - T-MOB101.
I am trying to avoid unlocking bootloader via htc-dev, as afaik it voids the warranty.
I am not interested in custom roms. Rather, i would like to "fool" the phone and make it like it was European distribution, with no branding, so i would receive OTA as anyone else with unbranded phone.
If i understood correctly, to achieve this, basically i need to change my CID to european or supercid, which will enable to install any ruu from htc. But european otas would be enough for me. To change cid, i need S-OFF, right ?
There are basically three methods, if i read correctly, right ?
1, Revone - doesn't work with Hboot 1.54
2, Moonshine - Works without htc-dev unlocking, but installs custom bootloader, which will disable otas to install.
3, Rumrunner - Works with 1.54 bootloader, but i need to htc dev unlock ?
So, am i understanding correctly, that as long as i dont want to htc dev unlock, i am stuck to my cid, and dependent from german t-mobile ? So i can only hope, some dev will find exploit in Hboot 1.54 ?
Isn't there any miracle, that could help to solve my problem ?
Thanks
Rumrunners is the only solution with an htc dev unlock...
If you will remove the cid and put an european is the best thing to do.
You can always put the locked string
Yes,
but Htc will know, that i requested unlock keys.
Won't be that problem ?
Also, does htc-dev unlock automatically mean warranty void ?

Yeah, i know that htc will know, but i never had a problem.
When i had the Evo 3D i unlocked with htcdev and after s-offed, so i relocked and s-on for warranty e no prob
MY friends with this phone didn't had any problem with warranty also with an unlocked with htcdev...
Remusator - I'm looking for the same thing: I have UK orange firmware, and was hoping to get stock/unbranded CID so I can get regular OTAs. Please let me know if you figure it out
Desperately waiting and hoping for some dev to soff without dev.
Today an arcticle came through my hands, saying "Unlocked htc one - kitkat till end of the month". Still don't have even Jelly :/
Is someone working on this ? Please

Hello, thanks for answer. :good:
If i agree to unlock my bootloader, could i achieve things mentioned in first post ?
Could you please give me some more detailed guide (alternatively steps with topic links), which i need to proceed ?
Al i need is to fool the phone to think, that it's unlocked and receive ota's like any other european unlocked htc one.
Thanks

OK, European unbranded:
1- get s-off: http://rumrunner.us/ (follow instructions !)
2- change CID to European unbranded such as HTC__001
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 <- two underscores
3- I assume your model number (MID) is already PN0710000
4- remove TAMPERED, and set your phone back to LOCKED, you can use this tool from within CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194
5- Run the following RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
after the above, your phone will not be fooled into thinking it's European unbranded, it will be European unbranded, and you'll receive the OTAs.
Let me know if you need more explanations, and hit the thanks button if I've helped
Hello, thanks.
However, i am completely stock. So i don't have CWM recovery yet.
In which step will i get it ? Or am i missing something ?
Also, CID change - is it really so easy ? I have seen some guides where people needed to download, edit and then flash some hex files.

OK, so before point 1 above:
a) use HTCdev to unlock
b) download CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863 and flash it in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> enter recovery
c) for rumrunner to work, you need a close to stock rom with root access, so get one from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/, probably this one should work: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-111-3-zip/
you need to push that to your phone:
adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/ <- this will take 5 to 10 minutes without any progress bar, then report success
d) in CWM recovery, now select "install zip" -> "choose zip" and flash the rom
If you're using the Guru Reset ROM, then select WIPE, select ROOT, unselect "stock recovery"
and then proceed to rumrunner
"Also, CID change - is it really so easy ?" <- yes with S-off, it is easy, and you wont have any hex-editing to do, now or in future OTAs

Thanks, and what will be my phone status after this procedure ?
What hboot version, son/soff, unlocked/locked.
And what recovery ? Original, or cwm ?

the phone will be unTAMPERED, LOCKED (not relocked), 100% out-of-the box European unbranded, HTC Sense 5 ROM v1.28.401.7, but you'll receive OTAs up to 4.3 I think.
recovery will be stock recovery not CWM, so you can receive OTA
The phone will remain S-Off, and I suggest keeping it, if YOU INSIST on going S-On you can do so after running the RUU, but before taking any OTAs, by using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"

Ok, just to make sure.
When will be CWM recovery replaced with original one ? After running RUU ?
I definitely don't insist on S-ON. My warranty will be void anyways because of htc-dev unlock. And in case my phone would break down, i need S-OFF to restore everything to original.
Are there any security risks when i'm S-OFF ? Such as malware android applications etc ? As i have understood, no.
Can / should i take some full backup of my original rom, device, bootloader, recovery in case that something goes totally wrong ?
Many many thanks
What you gave me here is most complete tutorial imho

Exactly after running the RUU.exe it will restore EVERYTHING back to stock: hboot, recovery, firmware, kernel, ROM, radio

I don't know much about warranty and what IS and IS NOT allowed, every users experience seems different, just read one today: he sent it s-off, rooted, custom rom, etc. but the blown speakers were fixed, and no questions asked.

No security issues whatsoever, S-Off will only allow you to write to certain partitions you can't with S-On. The ROM (Android 4.x.x) is responsible for the malware etc.

Sure, backups are always good.
And I just checked, there's also a Guru Reset here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ (not your version but close enough)
And there are a couple of nandroids around as well.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792 ?

Yeah, su is required for rumrunner.
Yes, htcguru file use that command.
After the flash of recovery, a nandroid will backup only the OS.
For the sd you've to copy it into your pc.

Guich beat me to it
1- Yes you need root
2- the link you provided only works if you are S-Off already
3- backup everything to PC (pics, music, etc)
4- use Call Logs Backup & Restore and SMS Backup & Restore if you need them (free apps in Play Store)
5- use Helium for apps+data, since you can't use Titanium
6- backup ROM using nandroid
7- dont worry too much about the nandroid, there are ones on @crushalots site

Hello, i cannot get through this point. I have installed HTC Sync, then uninstalled, so only drivers remained on my system.
I can use adb when the phone is normally booted, but then i don't have permission to write to that location.
When i reboot to recovery, adb devices shows empty list. Also that funny thing in windows taskbar starts spinning, finds "One", but fail to install driver.
Update1:
Ok, i managed to update adb driver to Android one. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830108 device manager section)
Now i'm at next step. I pushed zip to /data/media/, but after choosing install zip, there is none on sdcard.
Trying to push that again.
Update2:
File appeared after second push. Installing right now. Hope phone will wake after this procedure. Fingers crossed, holding breath.
Update3
Ok, i flashed RUU, everything is fine until now.
Slovak language / Slovakia as location is missing. Should / can i change my CID for something and install corresponding RUU for that CID, so i would have Slovak Language ? I also get red text saying "THIS IS TEST DEVICE...."
I think, the correct CID for my region is HTC__032 - East Europe
What is the language dependent on ? Because the same RUU you recommended for me is also for HTC__032. Is the file same and languages are allowed based on CID, or how does this work ?
Also HTC_001 is in the first wave of updates ?
Thanks
delete pls

Been gone for a while, so what's your status now? How far did you get.
I have Htc one m7 801n htc_europe with 4.4.3 android and Hboot 1.57.
Is it safe to root this android and hboot because i read that some users have problems with this configuration (here and on other sites)? Something special about rooting procedure on this hboot?

Whenever you root or modify any phone, there is a element of risk no procedure is foolproof or certain for each device. Best you could do is follow the procedures closely and if you have questions get answers to them before proceeding. I do not know of any special rooting procedure for the hboot 1.57, however it is difficult to achieve S-OFF with your hboot.
like majmoz said, there is nothing different rooting the M7 on hboot 1.57. Just make sure you know how to get back to stock before proceeding. Going back to stock will often require S-OFF and like majmoz said, Its a little more difficult on hboot 1.57 and even impossible for some phones. If you don't care about going back to stock (i.e no more warranty) then you'll probly don't need s-off but you will be stuck using custom roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one#root
Well, for now i will use the stock, just want the root and custom recovery. I don`t care about the warranty.
-edit-
all went fine
-EDIT2-
after installing UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65 and power off the phone starts to restart on 40 seconds after boot... good that i made backup right after install of the recovery
