[Q] Correct RUU

I have the 64GB Developer Edition. I am looking to full restore. I downloaded what I thought to be the correct RUU, but it errored out telling me it wasnt the right one. This is what I downloaded:
One Brightstar US WWE RUU
3.4.10
v4.1 984.32 MB
1.29.1540.3 Developer Edition
Do I need to flash stock recovery back first or something?

Usually you need to relock the bootloader before flashing an RUU but I dont know how that would work on the Dev edition...

I just tried re-flashing the stock signed recovery from the zip file download from HTC and it just hangs at "Entering Recovery". FML

I used the US version from here: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
It's just an exe you run in windows. It fully restored the device. I did have to go through the bootloader unlocking process afterwards though. Seems kind of funny that I had to "lock" what shipped unlocked only to unlock again. Ohh well, such is life in the green robot world.

i keep getting and error saying the phone isn't connected .. error170

Make sure you have the HTC Sync Manager installed. This loads the correct USB drivers for the device to work in fastboot/adb etc. You may be able to install the drivers separately from another source, but this option worked for me.

For some reason it won't work..

That is the most dumbest thing from htc, send you an unlocked edition but have to lock to update the official ruu, then go through a unlock process left for everyone else that didn't pay extra for unlocked version

this has been a blast.. now i'm stuck in ruu mode
no clue how to fix. anyone have any idea?

Removing Root from HTC One on O2 UK Carrier

Hi,
I don't think this is in the right place but i am unable to post under the developers area for assistance and everyone has told me this is the best place to get some help.
I am looking to get rid of my root for my HTC One on an O2 network and I think i need to get the boot loader locked which i can do then run a RUU file that matches my phone. The RUU's i have run seem to be the wrong ones and i am at a loss to which one i should be using, when i go through the steps it says that my version is 1.27.206.1 does this mean i need to find the version that is O2 and 1.27.206.1 for it to work?
I have also tried an OTA but this just stops at the boot loader screen and i think this is because some of the stock apps are wipe. Any help would be much appreciated.

You do need that RUU but it isnt available yet.

Thanks for the very quick response, ok that narrows it down quite a bit, would you happen to know which RUU i would be looking for when it does come out? will it be a specific O2 RUU for the version 1.27.206.1? Also where would i check for it once its released?
Is their anyway around the OTA update to remove the Root atm?

You would need an ruu that has the same software or newer than yours. The key bit would be the .206 section. There is an RUU thread here. You could flash one of the stock nandroid backups in the RUU thread. Add the apps back. There is a .zip somewhere then remove the stock recovery and flash the ota.

Hi Ste, thanks again for your help, i know this is a huge ask but this is a brand new phone and i want to be as careful as possible when trying to undo my root. Is their anyway you could post specific links for me to try the above? Like i said a huge ask so i fully understand if you don't have time. Guess i am looking for someone to hand hold me through this,

I would but I'm on my phone using tapatalk so I can't really at the moment sorry. The ruu thread is on this part of the forum though. And the other bit should be in the dev section.

Ok, no worries, i have downloaded the UK Nandroid rom and flashed it to my device but i still have everything on my phone like games that i had before flashing it which is a little odd.
i have also found the stock apps from a post on here like you said and have them all installed on the phone. Could someone explain the next steps please,

why dont you just use the unroot in the superuser apps? SuperSU has the option.

Hi, i have tried this option but when the phone reboots the application is back and the bootloader is still showing as Tampered.

Hi my name is meraj. I have purchased HTC one through a local website in Dubai ( which they claim that they bought from UK ) . I have been using it since July and I didn't get any updates . All my friends got new 4.2 or 4.3. Version. But I am still running the same old 4.0... I didnt do any cracks or customization to my phone just using as it is since unboxing.. please help me how it could be normal and how can I get regular updates . It also gives some message in startup .
Please help.

Seems like your phone is rooted do you don't receive any official updates. You can boot in boatloader and see if your phone is unlocked, shutdown your phone and start your phone by holding power and volume down button at the same time. See what it says there, probably "unlocked" and s-on or s-off. After that chose recovery and see which recovery you have.

Go to settings - About Phone - Software Info and post what it says.
The device you bought was not new. It was unlocked and had or has a custom recovery installed.

If I have stock ROM (restored from nandroid) and reflashed stock recovery, I won't get OTA updates if my phone is rooted?

It looks like it is a development model (not DEV edition), which should not be sold anyways.
You can root and flash custom ROM, but I highly doubt that you will receive updates for a development model.

Well since your bootloader is already unlocked and you got the custom recovery, you can always flash the latest custom rom that has Android 4.2 or 4.3. Otherwise you can bring the phone back to stock if possible. They're how to guides on how to do that on XDA.

Well your bootloader is still 1.44, so you still have the option to get S-Off, which would allow you to remove TAMPERED, and also allow you to return completely back to stock using a RUU.
How familiar are you with all this? I would recommend reading some of the guides, but if you do want to get back completely to stock you'll probably need to S-Off.
Can you post "fastboot getvar all" (and remove your IMEI and serial number before posting).

No updates
thanks nkk and farang..
yes i have done few time changing stock and versions on my previous htc but please tell me after all this will it be like a regular phone and can get all updates and in future i dont need to change ( in short i wont be sticking to same rom )

Factory reset will just reset your current Rom. So you have two options, 1 flash an other rom, which is already 4.3 and learn what a custom Rom can do for you, welcome to xda or 2, you can revert to stock version by flashing the right RUU for your version, but you need s-off to do this. You should do this now your bootloader is still 1.44. Anyway whatever you gonna do, you will have some homework to do!

First you need to install the HTC drivers (http://d-h.st/4LL), and adb/fastboot sdk (http://d-h.st/ja1) credits to @vomer; please read through the first part of his guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
Once you've installed HTC drivers, and unzipped adb sdk to C:\ADB, reboot your phone into bootloader -> FASTBOOT, connect your phone to the PC, FASTBOOT will change to say FASTBOOT USB.
On your PC: "CD C:\ADB" then type "fastboot getvar all" and post results back (remember to remove IMEI and serial number)

help me to get updates
hello guys.. thank you all for your help//
somehow manage to get these details about fastboot. . i am adding the picture.. i dont understand much but i have intuition that it might be asia ruu. please help me find one.. but one thing please if i go back to original stock then will i face the sim lock problem ( as i bought it in dubai and if the phone is from another country and by some other carrier on which only their sim works)? and main concern that if i will get all the regular updates launched by htc,

OK, that tells us you have a Vodaphone UK version, not Asia, not a problem.
Since you're still on 1.44 hboot, I would recommend to get S-Off, as you will not be able to do that later. Continue followoing vomer's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 and the original revone thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
Do the S-Off, no need to SuperCID at this time.
Why S-Off you ask, it would allow you to run any RUU (upgrade & downgrade) for any country and/or carrier.
Regarding SIM Lock, is your phone tied to any specific carrier at the moment? I assume not, since I dont think you're on Vodaphone UK, so the phone is/should arleady by SIM-unlocked.
Continue and report back, so we proceed with the next steps.

HTC One Stock ROM Unbranded

Forum rules prevent us from making recommendations on ROMs. Just go over to the Development Section and start reading the first post of each ROM. When you find one that you like then flash it and try it out. That is the sure way to know!

if you can get s-off, then why not just use an unbranded stock rom, very easy to do once you got s-off and will come with no bloatware or branding, doesn't get anymore stock or faultless than that, plus you'll get OTA's and still beable to root it, just like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54865512&postcount=8

lol the one I linked is unbranded stock, you just need to follow those instructions and be s-off
you can do it that way for dev edition which will get you the fastest OTA's when available or for HTC Europe WWE generic unbranded:
Change cid to HTC__001 (always 8 characters)
Change MID to PN0710000 using this tool in a custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2535365
download this firmware, put your phone into RUU mode and don't forget to flash it twice: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407574029
download this RUU and run it with your phone in fastboot USB mode: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
either way you will need to be s-off

Quick question before I start doing this; do I HAVE TO unlock the boot loader or can I do it straight away?

you HAVE TO unlock the bootloader in order to flash or use a custom recovery so you can use the tool to change your MID, you also HAVE TO BE S-OFF.

Your phone is s-on, their is no RUU that will work with your phone
use this GURU Reset and choose yes to stock recovery and radio and no to root during install
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543706
it's also a good idea to factory reset before flashing the Guru Reset
Also you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 to flash the Reset correctly

It all depends on when you updated the phone before flashing custom recovery
if your on 5.11.401.10 your phone should update normally ...this software matches your CID
However if your on 6.09.401.5 and it tries to update it will most likely fail
I'm not sure how many .401 updates their are after 5.x
