Thanks for the reply. But that method says I have to be S-OFF.
I am unlocked S-ON.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but how can I downgrade with S-ON?
Any link to that process would be of great help.

Get S-off and you can do whatever you want - that's the whole point.
There are several different methods on XDA that will tell you how - just search for them.

Use BabyRacun to downgrade.

I tried to S-OFF using BabyRacun method. For some reason, I didnt go through.
For some reason, babyracun didnt suceed in my case. I couldnt go to Step 5-f in that instructions on Unlimited.IO

Have you tried this:

It's a script made by viperboy, check it out but I think it required s-off... Good luck!

Hmm. Worked fine for me. Took me a few trial-n-error's due to user error but it worked in the end.
What ended up getting it to work for you?

How would someone do either with a soft-brick?
I have a the same situation now with a soft bricked stock, never unlocked, never rooted, OTA 3.16.651.3... Without a 3.16.651.3 jewel RUU which is nowhere to be found, I can't figure out a way to flash this thing. Nothing but fastboot is functional on the phone in it's current state. Every approach I have tried ends in some broken dependency or version/signature hurdle.
Below is my getvar all output if anyone can steer me towards a solution.

I'm in a similar situation with a phone I'm trying to fix for someone. Phone is on the latest OTA, unlocked & S-on. Phone will not boot to the OS. Removed the SD card and I've pushed TWRP recovery to the phone via fastboot, but upon trying to enter recovery the phone reboots to the HTC splash screen, and cycles in an endless loop until I get into the bootloader. Also tried a factory reset, which causes the phone to reboot to the splash screen. No way to S-off at this point:banghead:
