I am having an issue that I have not seen before and could not find any resolve thru XDA or Google. I am attempting to restore the 64G Developer Edition with the RUU from HTC Dev and I keep getting the 155 error. I even have attempted to install thru CWM the .zip. Still no avail.
I am currently rooted, and have CWM installed. The device is obviously Bootloader unlock. What I was able to find is that it possibly could be a issue that it is bootloader unlocked as some posts suggest to have you bootloader locked to install RUU, but that is obviosely not a posibility with the dev ed.
So what am I doing wrong, or what is the issue. I have confirmed that I was using the correct RUU.
Help Appreciated
UPDATE
Ok, I figured out how to avoid the RUU 155 error. It seems that HTC for some dumb reason, although for a unlocked developer edition, we still have to lock the bootloader to utilize the RUU. Here are the steps I have done.
Although it is straight forward and easy to do, issues could always arise. I do not take any responsibility if things go wrong. Educate yourself first before attempting anything. If you do not know what you are doing, then don't do it.
Before Starting.
Make sure you have the latest HTC Drivers. You can use hasoon2000 HTC All-In-One Toolkit to complete that. That can be found at HTC One All-In-One Toolkit
Get the appropriate RUU from HTC Dev
1. Lock your bootloader through by booting into hoot and then going into fastboot and issuing the command fasboot oem lock.
2. Once locked, reboot your system.
3. Open RUU and follow onscreen instructions.
Notice, this will delete all of the files on the system so do this on your own cognition
4. Let the RUU do its thing. If you get an error during the process, such as 152, simply try again. I had it happen once. The phone was stuck on the black HTC screen with four triangles with exclamation points in each corner. If this happens you will not be able to reboot your phone. Simply relaunch RUU and it should reinstall it. If you get error 155 again, then you have not re-locked your bootloader.
3.Once you have successfully reinstalled the rom, you have to register with the HTC Dev to re-unlock your bootloader if that is what you want. The easiest to do this I found was by using the HTC One All-In-One Toolkit. It is a great tool and will help you with majority of things that I have mentioned above, including locking your bootloader. Follow the steps on the toolkit and you'll be all set. The Toolkit can be found here HTC One All-In-One Toolkit

Gotta re lock your bootloader
fastboot oem lock
I got relock it even though it came unlocked? How would I unlock it again since I don't have the tokens from HTC development, or is the ruu gonna do that by itself.

I was having same issues as OP. After using the lock command, the update got longer. The black HTC screen even got as far as a progress bar. Well I now got ERROR 152 saying I should get the correct RUU. I am sure I have the right one, because there is only ONE developer edition RUU file from htcdev.com
Problem now is, I have the black HTC screen with warning signs on each corner.
One thing I saw on a video is you are supposed to restore to the same version? I had updated OTA Z(1.29.1540.16) to the latest which I cant get an RUU for. The RUU available is 1.29.1540.3 no other available. What do I do now? HTC One Dev Edition stuck on black screen with warning signs on all corners.
All I can see now is a scren that says:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
bunch of numbers and letters in green and
RUU in orange

When I was doing it, the first time I got the 152 error. I simply just redid it and it accepted it on the second try. Trying relaunching RUU that you have and try the install again. That's at least how it worked with me.

Did you get that black HTC screen with warning signs on each corner? I am re-running the RUU, hope it works or I just lost $650.
EDIT: You used RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.exe right? Were you already OTA updated? I wonder why htcdev web says BrightstarUS for the dev edition instead of something else...
EDIT2: Its on that black screen with loading thing again... still exclamation marks on every corner... hope this works or else it won't be a nice first experience with Android coming from iOS lol and I've jailbroken and tinkered on those devices for so long.

Yeah 2nd attempt the same error 152. I just lost $650 right?
The green bar goes all the way to the end, it sends it all, but it doesnt reboot. It just gets error. What else can I try? Device isnt even 3 days old.
Did it a third time, after Updating Radio, thats where the error appears.

What was the software version that it came with. Was it with the most recent one? I think 1.29.401.16 one?

It came with the .3 and I did OTA to .16
The RUU you can get online from their web is only .3
===============================
Ok so... that black HTC screen accepts "fastboot" commands.
I downloaded the .ZIP version of the Developer Edition OS.
I went in command prompt, I typed
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.zip
****GOT AN ERROR*****
Code:

.... so again:
fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.zip
10 minutes later
fastboot reboot
Oh my was I happy to see the white HTC Startup.
I also have same phone de it shouldnt be tamperd relocked it should be only relocked

I find it funny now far Computer OS's have come and yet we always have to go back to good old DOS Command Prompt to fix things.
BTW, my phone now has bootloader RELOCKED due to the fastboot oem lock command, should I send the phone back just like that or unlock bootloader before sending it back?
I guess to Unlock bootloader again, I have to follow same instructions as if it were an AT&T version right? Did you UNLOCK yours again OP?

Yes, that is the reason I was doing all this restoring. I had ROOTed it to install AdAway. Ads is the only major drawback when compared to iOS (this is my first Android). When you see a gray image on my phone, there are 3 sort of water drops. Like between the touch screen and LCD.
Well, I am exchanging it actually. I like the HTC One a lot. It has a tiny gap, but I dont care about that much, the weird discoloration on the sceen, though, I do mind.
That makes sense.

Bosnazmaj - thank you for this wonderful write-up & knowledge. I have a Dev edition myself. Sometime ago, I got into charging issues. Initially, assuming it to be software issues, I thought I'd run the RUU. So, like you, I too figured out that I have to lock my bootloader. Ran the RUU....long story short, found out that I have to give my phone for repairs (turned out to be a hardware issue).
So, the point I am trying to make is that, if we unlock the bootloader, certain apps (like flashlight, sound recorder etc) seems to get deleted. While this, on it's own, might not sound too alarming....the problem is, if these apps are not present, then the OTA does not & will not get applied as the OTA says that these apps have to be present. I am not sure how to unlock the bootloader without losing any apps.
Any knowledge / information on this is MOST appreciated.
Actually I used titanium backup to back those apps that disappear during root before I unlocked anything. Then once I rooted and unlocked I just restored them back with titanium and all was fine. But in reality you don't want to so an ota when you are rooted as you might loose root.

Can't you re-unlock the phone using following command without going through the HTCDev website mess?
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Just a heads up. I was able to return to stock using the RUU without locking the bootloader. It took a while to figure it out.
I went from ARHD 31 to A stock rom (m7_stock_dev_1.29.1540.16_signed_052313.zip) found on an old thread, also had to find a stock recovery that would work (i think it was the one liked in the ARHD thread) and used the revone S-off method, then applied the latest RUU from the htc dev site .and it installed and the bootloader remained unlocked.
I had to get this thing ready for someone who bought it. They asked if i could return it to stock with S-off. It was a pain in the but, but got it working
Hi,
Little problem in here. I've got tried to update IncS but something went wrong and I'm here.
Phone after boot goes straight into the bootloader like in pic.
Is there any solution to make it live?

A little problem here; you did not give us enough information on what exactly you were doing to your IncS.
It appears you may have been trying to run the S-Off downgrade procedure or you simply tried to run and flash an older RUU?
At this point my suggestion would be to go to HTCDEV.com and download the last and final ICS RUU for the IncS and use that to get your phone back to a working state.
tried to s-off and failed
Device is't not recognized after boot into bootloader by RUU
is there is needed any drivers or sth?

When you ran the Gingerbread RUU to achieve S-OFF, I assume there was an error code of some sort (ex. Error 131 or 170 or something). Can you please tell us which error code it was?
In the meantime, please download the latest and must recent ICS update from HTCDEV.com as tpbklake advised. I'm sure you need a phone to use.

Ok, if you tried to S-Off, then you missed the very first step. Since you have hoot version 2.02.0002, the first thing you must do it UNLOCK the boot loader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com.
Since your HBOOT screen shows a LOCKED status, that means you didn't even do that step. Otherwise your HBOOT status would show either UNLOCKED or RELOCKED.
If you follow the unlock procedure at HTCDEV.com you will end up with all of the correct drivers you need.
Unlock bootloader procedure is stuck on the selecting yes/no in the phone. I can't select yes... "no" option goes ok, "yes" - cant accept.

When you select yes/no did u use the hardware keys because it should work.
everythig is ok, I can switch between yes/no without aby problem but only no is able to be accepted. Then it's rebooting and stuck on bootloader again.
Is there any difference about the PC? Maby I should try with other computer? os?

Make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 3.0 port.
I've tried with other PC, this time on WinXP, the same result. The only thing I can't do is selecting YES when phone asking about unlock bootloader.
I've no idea what to do..

When trying to update RUU, windows says "Device not recognized" after rebooting to bootloader. Any idea what's wrong?

And one more question. Is there any difference if I choose other region of IncS? I mean WWE or Asia or Hutchison? Maby there is the problem with accepting bootloader unlock?

No that wouldn't make a difference because the unlock token that your phone generated is what is used to generate the unlock.bin file, not the region you picked.
The device not recognized usually indicates a driver problem. Did up install the HTC drivers on the XP machine?
Finally, maybe the reason you cannot select YES is because the unlock.bin that was generated with a bad unlock token.
You might want to try and regenerate the unlock token and get a new unlock.bin.

Ok, do you have the HTC Sync app running on your PC? If so, uninstall the app, but leave the HTC drivers installed.
Also you never did say whether you we're using an official HTC USB cable or not.
You are not bricked. You can always download the official ICS RUU/ROM from HTCDEV.com and use that to get your phone operational again.
I know but how to do that with that phone?
I've got Desire HD also and there is no problem with detecting it in adb. IncS - not.
Tried also to create goldcard and update with PG32IMG.zip form latest RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_TWM_TW_4.10.921.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266252_signed and gets stuck like on the pic then reboot.

Are you the original owner of this phone? If not, where did you purchase it and was it operational before you attempted to S-Off?

Once the screen comes up where you try to select YES, have you tried disconnecting the USB cable to see if that would allow ou to select YES?
Ok, thanks for help anyway.

Problem solved. I've just formatted HDD and installed fresh Win7 then RUU program worked smooth as well. Now phone runs new ICS.
I don't know what caused that issue but I'm happy that finally phone started.
I had an One M7 which i had unlocked through HTCDev, s-offed etc and converted to GE
Then insmashed the screen which resulted into getting a replacement, refurbished as I guess
The thing is I cannot unlock it. i get the token but when i try to push it into the phone I get
an error message reading that the token does not match. Wrote to HTC and they replied that
"each serial number can only be unlocked once". Anything I can do? Tried moonshine, firewater but no success.

Few users have had motherboards replaced by HTC and unable to unlock afterwards (maybe not supported on new boards?). So you may be stuck. Despite HTC offering the service to unlock they are difficult in answering questions about it too

Well this isn't true. Many users here unlocked their phones more than once using a new unlock code. Maybe there is something bad with your version.
Some phone version can't be unlocked from htcdev.com (i.e like stated above, verizon)
Others phones like the GPE version suffer from a bootloader bug (updated version) and can't be unlocked no more.
Would like to see your unlockcode.bin and token if you want to share. Sometime they are corrupted.
Will try it once more tomorrow.
Is the unlock token unique per phone? I found the one from my previous phone
And it produces the same error

yes the code is unique to the phone, and you even need a new code when unlocking for a second time.
Coming back to this ( i own an M8 now, turned into GPe) , i use the M7 as a secondary phone but sense drives me mad. Any idea how to overcome the unlock issue? hTc has confirmed to me through email that refurbished phones cannot get unlocked
Hi every one,I know this is a stupid question, i just switched to Android from IOS, i bought a Htc one m7, my issue i'm unable to update it to sense 6

i have attached some pictures, i dont know much about these stuff yet. I using it in Pakistan, as i google it the code 651 means its a Sprint US i buy it from Pakistan and working fine except for the Update part. If any one can Help me that would be great.

Unfortunately you have to be on Sprint's Network to get the OTA update. Here is the RUU 5.03.651.3 which will give you Sense 6. Just follow the instructions in the OP on how to run the RUU, since you are S-OFF you do not need to lock your bootloader to run the RUU.
Here is the link to the Sprint HTC One forum. Keep an eye out in this forum for future updates, generally someone will post the OTA so it can be installed manually.

The encrypted one, you do not have to lock your bootloader.

It should not effect you SIM unlock. There is no guarantee that any process will not brick your phone, OTAs from the HTC and carriers have caused some issues. The best you can do is check MD5 checksums to see if the file has been corrupted during the download process and check the OP for any one who has reported an issue.

Do you have updated fastboot and adb? If not, Minimal ADB & Fastboot Tool
Extract the zip to your adb/fastboot folder
Boot phone into bootloader/FASTBBOOT USB before running ARUWizard.exe
Try with a different USB port and/or cables
If possible change PC's

You're in the wrong area to use TWRP, or {Install a new Oden (Kerrnal) [Download Mode]}
Bootloader isn't for anything useful to lame brains like me, besides unlocking the bootloader, rooting it, and fixing the SD write issue, then relocking the bootloader.
What we did wrong is this! we didn't have all the correct programs running when we unlocked the bootloader, after that we rooted our phones. Gotten the root is correctly installed from a root apk/exe {programs} once we reset our phones, we get stuck at the service provider screen. the only way off this screen is to press the both volume
buttons + power until it resets. if we don't press the volume down + power buttons it reboots & locks up again at the service provider screen.
For HTC Phones:
HTC phones can flash stock ROMs, known as RUUs, right from the phone's bootloader. You'll need to Google around for your device's specific RUU file, but once you download it, save the ZIP file to your SD card, and rename it (to something like PG05IMG.zip—the download page for the RUU file should specify which filename is required), booting up your phone should automatically flash the stock ROM from HBOOT, HTC's bootloader.

I have the exact same issue of this thread and I've been looking all over google for at least one stock ROM for the desire for like 3 weeks now and I did read some of the thread you quote before and was really usefull for my Moto Droid Razr HD :victory: but It would be AWESOME if you have an idea of where to find a ROM for this phone specific
HTC Desire 625 Cricket
***UNLOCKED***
htc_a32eul PVT S-ON
OS-1.23.507.5
Thank you!:fingers-crossed:
Buenas tengo problema también con htc desire 625 cricket y no encuentro una stock room
I just bought one of these (Cricket HTC 625) to use as a temporary phone after my Sony Z2 Failed (Touch screen spazzing out/left, 1/4 non-responsive).
I am going to (carrier) unlock it, but obviously a more generic ROM would be nice, too.
I'm experienced at installing ROMs via various way, installing recoveries, using ADB, etc., but I know nothing about this phone (I've never had an HTC phone)
Is this phone essentially a branded 626?
Can I re/un brand it with any 626 rom?
A quick intro to this phone would be appreciated.
I also bought a 625 from cricket recently. Someone told me via pm here at the forum that it could be rooted using the same method as the 626s, but the person has not (yet) pointed me to the guide he used.
I'd like to learn more also

I bought a couple of these as "Refurbished HTC 625" from Cricket for $0.99. The phone I received is an HTC Desire 626s. In fact if you look at the "settings->about->phone" it says "HTC Desire 626s".
I was able to unlock the bootloader / install a custom recovery / root, but there does not appear to be any ROMs available. My previous experience was with Kindle Fires and Nexus 5s, so I was a bit surprised with the dev threads for this phone.

That's an awesome deal.
I paid $6 for one of those instant on-line carrier unlocks, so you'd have a fairly modern and capable unlocked Android phone for ~$7.00. If I could un-lock and un-brand them, I could sell as many as I could get at a significant profit!
As I mentioned, mine was a temporary replacement. I've since purchased an Honor 8 as a permanent replacement, but the HTC served me well in the interim.

Thanks Jake - I got it rooted not too long after I'd made that post but I appreciate you taking the time to post that
I got myself a 625 last year, when I boot the thing into download mode it shows htc_a32eul
The official Cricket RUU for 626s also shows A32EUL in the filename. So perhaps this rom wil help you ?
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...4.1777877360.1498843151-1775625655.1498843151
Here you can find that the 625 is the same as the 626s
https://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/general/desire-625-626s-t3420019
edit: I can confirm this RUU is working on Cricket desire 625 ! The phone now has the official ROM again and when i tap "about" in the system settings it shows 626s. Everything is working fine ! So I'm now thinking of flashing to a custom 626s rom

The refurbished one was $1 with 1-month plan purchase requirement, great phone for the price.
