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.

I'm pretty sure that returning the phone with stock hboot 1.4 is perfectly final and even if it isn't then once you revert to stock with hboot 1.4 then you will get prompt to download and install the update which will give you hboot 1.5

I also need to find a way to return my hboot 1.5 to original firmware to return it to sprint.
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.

Anytime man
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.

Hello good day to you all. To put it simply, kit Kat sucks. So, I really need help going back to 4.3, I followed clsA's tutorial upgrading to 4.4
If you're s-off just flash the AT&T RUU

Did the method work? I converted my AT&T HTC One to developer edition and upgraded it to Android 4.4.2 with Sense 6.0 with bootloader locked and S-OFF. Consequently, mu HBOOT was 1.57 and when I tried to flash the 4.3 RUU, it didn't work and showed error 155 or something like that. What I had to do for solving this was to flash HBOOT 1.55 (same as 4.3 RUU) and then run the 4.3 RUU. It succeeded after that.

Thanks for putting this into a guide! It is well written and easy to follow. I was finally able to return to stock following your instructions after getting on Sense 6 but needing to return the phone for warranty services.
