But care when you do the downgrade cuz you have to use the good rom for this (Europe or Rus) otherwise you will brick your phone. I just downgraded my HTC 8s from 8.1 DP to 8.0 and it worked!

1. Copy UEFI_signed.nbh to sdcard
2. Rename UEFI_signed.nbh to RIOUDIAG.nbh
3. Turn the phone off and put sdcard into the phone
4. While holding Volume down - camera buttons press power button
5. Wait until flashing is finished
6. Copy RUU_signed.nbh to sdcard and rename it to RIOUDIAG.nbh
7. Turn the phone off and put sdcard into the phone
8. While holding Volume down - camera buttons press power button
9. Wait until flashing is finished than reboot phone

Thats It

I have tried 2 ROMs.
1. RUU_RIO_U_APO_00_HTC_Europe_1.04.401.03_1.11b.3054 .25_10.13.30_RETAIL_ENC_RELEASE

There's no information for htc 8s that will receive 8.1 but with DP program next week you will receive windows phone 8.1 update 1 (GDR1) which will come with some new features. My opinion is to wait until they will release the official update for windows phone 8.1 and then downgrade.

Would this add English US as Phone Language (to enable Cortana)?

I tried to put this rom, but continues to remain the DP version, does not return to 8.0 and the phone goes wrong, also because not able to install another update of the DP. marks the error 80188308 .. I do not know how to get it back to 8.0 :(

    I think that you will need "American ROM" for that. On my phone i have 2. RUU_RIO_U_APO_00_HTC_RUS_1.04.411.03_1.11b.3054.25 _10.13.30_RETAIL_ENC_RELEASE and it has English UK as default language.
