It's possible right now click the link in my sig the only problem you might run into is HTC-DEV has been hit and miss lately send the unlock code email
After you're rooted, look into going S-off. Well worth the time to get it done
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

^^^^^ this HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!! Although there is no support for 3.16.651.3 ATM. HTC is making harder to modify if you are S-ON with each update

So your saying that i can still get root with S-ON with the HTCDev and install SU and recovery?
Can i Flash CM10 even if im S-ON?

But i was reading that the recovery doesnt work and flashing also if i have the latest OTA
I'm in the same situation as you. I have the latest update and really want to have a rooted phone again. I guess we will just have to wait

You can still unlock and flash roms with 3.16 s-on it's just harder because you have to fastboot flash the boot.img first if the rom does not have a kernel installer

[Q] Stock OTA Update 4.2.2 - How do I downgrade to 4.1.1 with Sense 4 +?

Stock OTA Update 4.2.2 - How do I downgrade to 4.1.1 with Sense 4 +?
Hello,
Can I make do downgrade to firmware 4.1.1 using RUU file from the official HTC firmware (1.15.605.4 RUU_DLX_WL_JB_45_VERIZON_WWE Radio_1.00.00.1023_3_NV_VZW_1.98_002_release_290923_signed.exe)?
Phone was not unblocking or rotated. This is after the update OTA. Where can I download the RUU and that I can easily use it to make a downgrade?
If such a downgrade would be possible if I could then possibly unlock (bootloader) phone and do S-OFF by Moonshine s-off and install costum roms, etc. .. ?

If you are trying to S_OFF your device, and you're on the latest firmware 3.06, then Rumrunner will get you where you want to be :good:

Thanks for the quick reply
For now I would only do the downgrade and be on the stock ROM.
But if later I could do S-OFF, etc. ..? However, if you would like to have a costum ROM maybe in the future.
My question is still as before can I downgrade the RUU?

AFAIK firmware is upgrade only. You can not downgrade firmware
Ok. So I have to do. Unlock the bootloader and do S-OFF as you write and use Costum ROMS.
I understand that it is no longer possible to definitively restore stock 4.1.1?
A stock 4.2.2 you will be able to come back as? In the event of warranty. Well I think?
Thank you for your advice ..

Once you are unlocked you certainly can flash older version roms.
Yes you can always return to stock, for the most part, for warranty purposes.

[Q] Q: Getting back to ICS

Hey guys.
My question is if I can go back to ICS. Actually I on JB 4.1.1 but I can't get OTA.So I'm thinking to go back to ICS to restore my nandbackup.. Is there a way to do it?
I was googling but couldn't find something for this device...Also I don't want to brick the phone
Any suggestions..

1.Downgrade hboot (I do not recommended this..)
