Hey guys i was wondering if you can flash a earlier stock rooted Ruu while on hboot 1.50 with the htc unlock method. If you were to flash one of the stock rooted Ruu, would that downgrade the hboot version to the earlier versions. Or did Htc lock down the hboot 1.50 version from being downgraded. Any advice would be helpful.

If I was to have hboot version 1.50 (S-ON) and the lastest firmwire/software update (Stock) and ran a Older RUU.exe, will that revert me back to older version of HBOOT and firmwire/software.

Flashing roms and kernels arn't hard...
hello everyone,
so, before i had hboot 1.58 locked i was actually on hboot 1.5 unlocked and obtained s-off via the "wire trick". i recently flashed the latest version of meanrom and flashed a zip with the rom that updated my hboot to the latest version. even though upgrading to hboot 1.58 kept me s-off the bootloader now says "locked". my question is do i need to be unlocked again to flash successfully?

No. S-Off is the only unlock you need. You're good to go. Just keep in mind the older ROMs not based on the Sprint ICS OTA do not play well with HBoot 1.58. Since you're S-Off you can downgrade and re-upgrade your HBoot whenever you want to flash whatever you want.

did some searching, and could not find a definitive answer, so your help is much appreciated.
so ive got the at&t htc one with hboot 1.44 and s-off
if i use the latest at&t ruu, will it update the hboot? and if so, will i keep s-off with the updated hboot?
even if it doesnt, has anybody updated the hboot past 1.44 when they already had s-off, and did they keep s-off?
thanks in advance!

S-off remains until you enter the command to s-on.
RUU will update/downgrade all phone files/ROM.

I have a GPE One m7 converted from am ATT m7 and I am currently s-on and I have the 1.57 hboot. Did anyone know/think it will be possible to flash a stock ROM and recovery then flash an OTA containing a lower HBOOT version than my current one (specifically an OTA with the 1.44 HBOOT) and successfully downgrade the HBOOT to 1.44?
Any responses are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I didn't think you could downgrade to an h-boot version that was not used with the Android version you're on. I think 1.55 can only downgrade to 1.55.

absolutely not.
You need s-off to downgrade hboot nd must be done by flashing a RUU or a firmware in RUU mode.
