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.
