AFAIK there is no RUU available for your CID and this error code confirm that you are using the wrong RUU for your device:
Code:
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
mean you are using a RUU not intended for your CID: o2_001
what is the ruu you are trying to use?
btw there is a 1.27.206.1 nandroid backup available on htc1guru.com

kitkat ruu.exe needed if available

Am getting an error 155 when attempting to flash original stock ruu.exe. I have re-locked my device and it is S-OFF and still the error. I've used this ruu in the past without incident. Any link to a kitkat ruu.exe that I can run and try to see if that works? Thanks.

you will need to post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' minus imei/sn if you want help.
Also a link to the ruu you are trying to use or its complete name

[q] a confusing problem pleas guide me

Hey guys
My htc one was s-off and 2 weeks ago because of garanty purposes I got back to s-on but with a wrong build number via a wrong ruu.
I flashed a 4.19.401.9 ruu and then did s-on without problem.
Its on hboot 1.56.
now I want to s-off it but no method works.
Even I cant re flash 4.19.401.9 ruu exe because of MID error.
I tried firewater with CM11 and ARHD 71 without success.
Now I wonder how to get s-off or change the OS version or Hboot version??
Help me please if you can.
Thanks in advanced.
★☆HTC ULTIM8☆★
I flashed stock firmware and I could update OS AND HBOOT Version
But no luck to s-off.
Its complicated.

do not take ota updates! When the hboot is updated, it contain patches to block the s-off exploit! Easier to s-off on 1.44 - 1.54 - 1.55
now try to s-off using arhd 31.6 or 53 + firewater and also post the output of "fastboot getvar all" except the imei and serialno
report any error code displayed by firewater
Thanks man.
At the moment I gave up because Im very busy.
But in if I did, I'll inform you to guide me.
Thanks a lot.

What error message did you get running the RUU?
And which RUU are you running?
Good question what the error message was. I don't know. I have to try it again to tell you what was the error.
I used the ruu from the link above.

Looking at your hboot it's likely that the RUU won't work because you would be downgrading the software using that RUU, which you cannot do as you are s on

But i have S-OFF, so i have to downgrade too HBOOT 1.44 to install der RUU from the link?
Or exists a RUU for the HBOOT 1.57 that i have?

Ahhhh. My mistake and I didn't read the post correctly *face Palm*
You can downgrade your hboot to 1.44 but the touch screen won't work with your current Rom. You can supercid though and run any RUU if you are s off

Need RUU for version 4.20.707.6 and above

Hi guys,
I have soft bricked my device and currently the only way I see out of this is to flash RUU but then my version is way too high than the RUU available on the internet I've gone through. My current version is 4.20.707.7 but so far I've only found 1.29.707.3 the highest RUU version available on the internet.I have SuperCID but device is currently relocked and S-ON. I tried flashing other region's RUU which has higher version than mine believing the fact that I can flash it because I have SuperCID but I failed and received an error 155 which I searched and it means I'm using the wrong RUU. So I guess I can't flash other region's RUU and have to stick with my current region's.
Question:
1) Is it possible to flash the same version of RUU with the device?
2) Is it possible to flash other region's RUU if I have S-OFF? If yes, I only have access to fastboot and recovery and as far as I know, you only can S-OFF with a working homescreen, so how do I S-OFF while I only have access to fastboot and recovery?
If yes, does anyone have RUU for version 4.20.707.7 ( my current version ) or above?
If no, does anyone have RUU for version above 4.20.707.7?
Please help. Replies are much appreciated. Thank you And sorry for the tiny misleading information on the title. My current version is 4.20.707.7 not 4.20.707.6.

Yes, with s-on you can flash same or newer ruu version to your phone as long that it match your MID/CID + Firmware base (x.xx.707.x)
Yes you can flash other region RUU if s-off. You might need to change your CID and MID which can be done from fastboot (CID) and from recovery (MID). You can flash a close to stock rom like arhd to achieve s-off.
If yes, does anyone have RUU for version 4.20.707.7 ( my current version ) or above?
If no, does anyone have RUU for version above 4.20.707.7?

Many option for you.
You can restore the 4.20.707.7 version using the 4.20.707.7 stock reset rom (to be flashed in custom recovery)
You can flash the 7.21.707.5 ruu but in order to do that, your phone firmware must be at least 6.xx.707.x or 7.xx.707.x so it will requires to flash one of these firmware before the ruu.
Honestly I would simply flash the 4.20.707.7 reset rom, simple to do. When installing the rom, select "yes" to stock recovery and radio. Select "no" for root. when flashed, take all ota updates until you are on latest (7.21.707.5). From there you can flash a custom recovery and root if you want and returning back to stock from this point (if something else happen) will be as simple as flashing the 7.21.707.5 ruu.

Hey man, thanks for the useful information. I flashed the 4.20.707.7 reset ROM and did what you have told me but then the problem in the end is still the same as flashing other ROMs ( custom and stock ). The problem will be after unlocking the screen, green HTC logo appears and stays there for quite some time while dialer keeps crashing from time to time, and after few minutes, reboots by itself. This cycle will go on forever. Any advice ? Thanks again bro.

Looks like an hardware problem. Is your phone still having an IMEI # when doing "fastboot getvar all" ?
