[Q] Debranding HTC One | RevOne needs unlocked bootloader?

Hi, new to HTC here
So I plan to get a HTC One and debranding will bethe first thing I'm gonna do. I've been searching though XDA and Google.
I understand the S-off can be achieved using RevOne's method, and if my device is S-offe I can change it to other (Super)CID
I've got few things I'm not really sure though:
1. Does Revone method (and the whole debranding process) require unlocked bootloader, I wish to remain vanilla if possible
2. Do I have to use SuperCID? can I used other CID? I need CID/RUU containing my native language.
2. After changing CID do I need to flash new RUU or can I just wait for the OTA to arrive and replaced my branded FW?
Well.. at the very least, I will appreciate if anyone can point me where to start.
I have somewhat read through the RevOne and SuperCID threads.. but testimony from those with success would be invaluable.
EDIT: did more research.. so should anyone be interested:

Hi Don't know what your native language is, but if it's Dutch I just debranded my HTC One from T-Mobile and received the latest OTA in the Netherlands.
I wrote a tutorial for it on a Dutch forum.
to put it simple
I S-OFFed an unlocked via Revo method
Changed CID to HTC__001 (need to find the best CID for your country)
Ran the proper RUU
Received OTA
You can then proceed to lock the bootloader again with revo method (won't show tampering and stuff)
and even go S-ON again if you want. (I didn't)
This shall give you a vanilla HTC One without branding that shall receive OTA's directly from HTC.

@Rubman
Thanks for chiming in!
No worry, HTC CID Lists are everywhere on Google (I'd like to use the HTC SEA CID for what it's worth).
I see, I also have received confirmation RevOne can be done without unlocking bootloader.
While I generally understand the debrand process I think it'll be handy to also have your tutorial. Can I get a link?
Don't speak Dutch, but I think Gtranslate will do, hehe.
Thanks again.

Sure you can have a link, I plan to write the tutorial over here as well but very busy ATM, but it's basicly just a collection of Revone CID change and then RUU install.

Did you get the One? What did you discover about CID? Changes GSM band reception? Can this be changed for carrier jumping?
I have a Sprint One. Am no longer with Sprint and wondering what advantage it would be to change CID. I have 2 updates to get and am researching options first. Anyone have knowledge, suggestions?
Rom: Sprint stock 1.29
S-off
Unlocked
T removed
Hboot: 1.44 stock
Twerp 2.6.3
Revone
SuperSU

Is it possible to go back to Stock - Completely - To sell the phone?

I have a Mint Condition HTC One phone I am trying to sell - Mostly just because I also own a Nexus 4 and love it - and decided I'd rather keep it and use the money on the HTC One on something else.
I'm having a hard time selling it because the "everything is unlocked" is making people scared to buy it.
It's S-OFF, SuperCID, TWRP 2.6.0.1, Bootloader Unlocked, Running 2.24 Firmware and Android Revolution 12.1, Sim Unlocked too.
It's originally a Rogers Canada HTC One
Is there any way (or guide) to completely make it stock again to help sell it? Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, just flash the Rogers RUU (if available) and then you're good to go! If there isn't one then use one of the Nandroids provided and then get the stock recovery and relock the bootloader

don't forget to go back to S-ON after flashing the RUU

Hmm... never flashed a RUU before. Will need to do some reading.
Anyone know where to find a Rogers RUU?
I don't care if its Rogers specifically - it can be Telus or Bell too as long as it works.
I just want to go back to Stock so it's capable of updating OTA somehow if possible.

just download the RUU (sorry, don't know if there is one for your carrier), be sure to be s-off, and then run the RUU.exe or flash the RUU.zip.
the RUU will flash stock recovery, stock rom and i think it will even relock your bootloader. and then you'll be able to download OTA-updates again.
last step is to put it back to s-on and you should be done..

Ruu for bell. Rogers, telus is not available yet, your best bet is to flash the stock wwe Ruu. Remember to flash the stock hboot if you are using a modified hboot for the red lines or you would brick your device

I'm S-OFF using the Revone Method
I'm on firmware 2.24 and HBoot 1.54 (Still S-Off though)
If anyone has time, can somebody give me a real quick overview on what I need to do? I'll buy ya a beer!
I'm not real familiar with HTC Devices - This was my first experience and to be honest, Right now I'm wishing I didn't do this if I knew before hand I was going to flip it so fast.

Ok no problem
First download the RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
and run the .exe.
then you'll have stock hboot and stock recovery + stock rom.
After this you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to get back to s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Be sure you never installed a custom hboot before and you are using a official hboot. Better check twice if the red warning text is there before you go s-on
And that's it
No beer needed, "thanks-button" is enough
Cheers

You cant run the RUU with Super CID. You will have to change it to one that matches the RUU you choose before running it, but keep s-off. Then you should be able to use the tool as mentioned above or do all the things manually. You can use my guide if you like:

Thanks for the help.
Which specific RUU should I flash? I don't see a Generic WWE One in that thread - just a couple of WWE ones for Developer Editions. Should I use an AT&T one? I can change the CID back to whatever is needed.
Am I able to do this somehow with the Nandroid backup for Rogers in that thread?
Also - What do you mean by "check for the red lines" exactly? I am on HBoot 1.54, Is there a easy way of going back to 1.44?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm kinda annoyed there isn't a Rogers RUU available. Last thing I need is a bricked phone - I'm only selling it as I honestly I shouldn't have bought it to begin with (Financially)

Where are you going to try and sell it? If to another user in Canada with one of those carriers, then they wouldn't to buy the unit with a AT&T image on it, I would think.
However running the ATT one would be a very easy way to reset everything including the hboot (no worry about red lines if run the RUU). Then you could sell to a US buyer who is going to use ATT (Tmobile also has a RUU). My guide for reseting to ATT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497
There are some threads around here where users are resetting Rodgers back to stock but it is much harder without a RUU and I am not sure of your comfort level.
To use one of the Rodgers Nandroids to do a complete reset to stock I would:
Change the CID to CWS__001 and run the ATT RUU to reset all your firmware, hboot etc, back to stock. You will still have unlocked bootloader and s-off, so you can then change back to your stock CID and then use the fastboot command to boot (but not install) a custom recovery in order to restore the Rodgers Nandroid and then just relock and s-on. Should be 100% Rodgers stock.
Code:
fastboot boot yourcustomrecovery.img
You can only use this method to boot a recovery without installing it, if on hboot 1.44, so that is why I recommend using the RUU to downgrade all that stuff for you.
Let me know if you need more help. I'd be happy to guide you.

you could take the latest open europe RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7), or take an AT&T one.. don't really know which one would be better for your situation you'll know it better

this is also an option. you can flash this nandroid backup through cwm recovery. but then you'd have to manually install stock recovery and lock the bootloader/go back to s-on. why not :good:
Also - What do you mean by "check for the red lines" exactly? I am on HBoot 1.54, Is there a easy way of going back to 1.44?

you can stay on 1.54 if everything works fine after flashing the older firmware. the "warning text" is related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
but if you've never installed a custom HBoot you don't have to worry about this when going back to s-on. just check once if the red warning text in the bootscreen is there.

Hey, I'm trying to do the same thing as OP, and this thread has been the closest thing to my issue. I'm trying to return everything on my phone to stock, however my Canadian carrier is Bell. Currently my HTC One has the bootloader unlocked, is rooted, TWRP recovery, and TrickDroid installed.
If I understand your instructions correctly, what I should do (given I want to restore using a nandroid backup) is:
1) S-Off my phone
2) Change the CID to CWS___001 and run the ATT RUU
3) Change the CID back to my original (BM_001 is what I think it is, do you know how I can make sure? What command to run for ADB?)
4) The Nandroid backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874&highlight=bell+update for my phone is for CWM (it's this one: M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID BM___001 / 1.29.666.5), does that mean I have to change my recovery from TWRP to CWM at this point?
5) Use fastboot to boot the recovery --> two questions regarding this, 1) why would I not install the .zip I downloaded from step 4? 2) where do I get the recovery.img? Just the one that is in the zip? In which case, shouldn't I also has to boot the boot.img or anything else?
6) I also want to upgrade the radio, should that be done last?
Thanks for all your help!
Lastly, I'm looking for a ROM to flash afterwards, I was wondering if you had any suggestions/know of a ROM that can allow me to use the swipe2sleep features, as well as hold the back touch button to force kill an app.

Just sell it on swappa. They love rooted unlocked modded phones.

[Q] How can I tell if it's possible to S-Off my phone?

So Wind Mobile just recently released their version of the HTC One on August 27th, 2013:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/08/23/wind-mobile-launching-the-htc-one-on-august-27th/
http://shop.windmobile.ca/ProductCatalog/Handsets/HandsetDetails.aspx?id=HTC+One(WINDCA)&color=green
From a little bit of researching, it seems like there are some prerequisites for performing S-Off. From what I've read, it seems to be the following:
Phone must be an older release as the newer hboots cannot be S-Off
If you are an older hboot, there are certain radios/firmware(?) that prevent S-Off in combination with the hboot
You must be on the stock rom
I'm worried that my new HTC One is too new to be able to S-Off as it was just released last week from the carrier. Also, because it was just released there are no RUU that can be used to downgrade the hboot(?). I'm assuming my understanding is correct.
As of right now, the phone is completely stock, no modifications have been made. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to perform the following:
Install CWM Recovery
How to make a generic Nandroid so that anyone that needs to go back to stock Wind Mobile can use it (since no RUU is released)
If S-Off is possible given the current hboot and radio/firmware combination currently installed.
How to SuperCID this phone
How to keep S-Off and install hboot 1.54/5
I appreciate any help, I've attached a picture of my bootloader to add more details into my inquiry.

What can be done with S-On (Hboot 1.54)?

Firstly, apologies for asking possibly really dumb questions, but I haven't actually used an Android HTC device for a while, having gone to the darkside and used Windows Phone 8 (HTC 8X).
This HTC One is my first Android phone for a while, and obviously, I would like to root it and update to the latest Android 4.3 (with or without Sense 5.5 whatever it ships with) - and also hopefully get rid of that blasted BlinkFeed if possible.
I have HTCDev unlocked the bootloader, however the phone is still currently S-On.
What can I do now?
1: Can I flash custom recoveries with S-On?
2: If not, is it possible reflash older firmware (either via zip or via RUU - I am HTC__001 CID, and running 2.24.401.8 - again, not sure on what is the correct older version of this) which could lead to being able to S-Off on an older Hboot?
If neither is possible, then I guess I will just have to be patient and wait for the methods of S-Offing 1.54 to be released...
Anyway, hope you guys can help a newbie

You cannot get S-Off at the moment with hboot 1.54 (unless you use/know somebody that has a JavaCard).
AND THERE IS NO WAY TO DOWNGRADE. Nasty remark: C'mon guys, it's been said a few thousand times by now. (sorry couldnt help myself ).
Some say beaups will soon post a S-Off for 1.54, but can't confirm this. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474089)
Anyway, with bootloader unlocked, you can flash ROM, kernel, recovery, even radio, but not unsigned firmware. Take a look at ARHD 30.0 (amongst others) has Sense 5.5 and you can flash it with your current firmware. Do a full wipe install. If problems do arise it COULD be due to firmware, but nobody has really fully verified that. (as far as I know)
EDIT: remember to make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM!!

When you unlock your bootloader you are opening all the partitions necessary to flash custom kernels, recoveries and ROMs, so in answer to your first question, yes you can.
S-off is only necessary to flash radios, RUUs, etc. things that you won't need for a while (if ever) if you're only just flashing a custom ROM now.

Radios can be flashed as well without S-Off, as far as I know.

Guys, I appreciate the fast response.
I understand the question about downgrading has probably been asked a million times.
Good news about still being able to flash custom recovery/rom etc.... will do that later, and then wait for the 1.54 s-off method
Again, much obliged for the help

Info about some Guru Stock Rom Resets

hi all, this is solely an information thread about two of Guru's Stock Reset ROMs (i hope Guru will take note of this and fix the problems) . I didnt know where to put this thread so if the moderators think it's in the wrong section, please move it to the appropriate section.
A week ago, i tried to reset my phone back to stock software so i changed my CID to Taiwanese HTC__621 and my model ID is PN0711000, i downloaded and installed this http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-709-1-zip/ stock ROM for Taiwanese One through Aroma Installer and it booted up just fine, it also installed the stock recovery and stock radio on my phone but when i tried to OTA update from 4.2.2 , the phone booted into recovery and halfway across the update , it showed red triangle in recovery and gave "assert_patch_failed(/system/customize/MNS/default.xml)" error which meant that the file in the Guru ROM wasnt 100% stock and there was some part of it modified/missing (thanks to @nkk71 for his help and useful info). So i changed my cid to Indian which is HTC__038 with model ID PN0711000, and i installed this reset ROM http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-63-707-4-zip/ which is android 4.3 with sense 5.5 for CIDs HTC__038 and HTC__044, this Reset ROM is supposed to install 3.63.707.4 software on the phone but it installs 3.63.707.3 instead , the software information under settings shows 3.63.707.3 while OS in "fastboot getvar all" shows 3.63.707.4. i went ahead and tried to OTA update it with this ROM but it gave variant error because of fw and sw number not matching, so i ran this RUU 1.29.707.4 http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...0-01_release_312087_signed_2_4_decrypted-zip/ which is for Indian CID HTC__038 , it downgraded my phone to 4.1.2 with sense 5 but i received OTA updates and installed them successfully on my phone after running this RUU , so i hope this thread helps those of you who want to return to stock ROMs using Guru's reset roms, i hope Guru will take notice of these 2 Reset Roms and fix them.
Information credit about finding out the cause of these 2 Reset ROMs problems goes to @nkk71

Information credit about finding out the cause of these 2 Reset ROMs problems goes to @nkk71

Hey man, sorry didn't get back to you, but i did eventually download that other ROM (Stock_Odex_2.24.709.1_Final) and it turns out it and the Guru Reset ROM, are very close, and both have the same
/system/customize/MNS/default.xml file, so they must be based on the same system dump, and the 3.xx OTA won't work.

hmm, i see, well, my problem has been resolved by running the Indian RUU instead of Taiwanese stock ROM, this is just an informative thread for those trying to go back to stock Taiwan or Indian ROMs. Now , Taiwanese ROM is out of the equation, its stock and Guru's ROM both will have the OTA error, can you try and figure out why this Indian ROM http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-63-707-4-zip/ says 3.63.707.4 while it actually installs 3.63.707.3 ?
PS: i think .707.3 is for CID HTC__044 while .707.4 is for cid HTC__038 (India) but in the Guru reset rom link, it says that this (3.63.707.4) works on both MID and CIDs. Plus, you dont HAVE to find out the root of the problem, the problem has been resolved but maybe this information will help someone else. Thanks

hmm, that's a tricky one, his OS version is 4.20.707.6 and he has a South East Asian MID and CID, i have Indian CID and MID and my OS version is 4.20.707.7 (i think .707 is common for India and South East Asia) but i THINK that yes, he will have trouble while trying to do OTA updates with a Reset ROM, i'd suggest that he run the 1.29.707.3 RUU (1.29.707.3 is for South East Asia while 1.29.707.4 is for India) what do you think @nkk71?

Hi mate, he's already on "(bootloader) version-main: 4.20.707.6", but at least it would get his phone up and running... but why not go for a custom ROM instead?

hmmm so he will need to s-off his phone before, the ruu is decrypted. Just want to be sure before I guide him... can you confirm nkk71 that his only option is to use that decrypted ruu?

oh, thank God i did s-off using Revone while my hboot was 1.44 s-off is a life saver

So I have been away for a while and I am trying to catch up. Can someone summarize what the deal is or more specifically what do I need to modify in the ROM's?
I am having trouble following the OP.
I made them from from stock dumps and signed OTA and firmware files but maybe they were labeled wrong regarding version numbers?
Thanks

Welcome back :victory: :victory:
Hope you are well.
The first problem is with Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.709.1, the /system/customize/MNS/default.xml seems wrong, the OTA "3.18.709.2-2.24.709.1" stops at 68% of the checking due to bad checksum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50836125&postcount=7
I also looked at "Stock_Odex_2.24.709.1_Final.zip" EDIT from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348502 which I found somewhere, but has the same MNS/default.xml
The second one is Guru Reset M7 3.63.707.4 which is in fact 3.63.707.3 (or a mixture of .3 and .4, I honestly didn't check into it, but saw a few other posts about that)... I can check and get back to you if you need more details, just let me know.
Cheers

Thanks for the info.
So I am not sure what to do about the default.xml as i don't see any other stock dumps of that version with a different version of that file. I guess I will have to edit that one to say that OTA updates won't work.
I also noticed the mix of version on the 3.63.707.4 ROM. When I tested it on my phone it showed .3 on the software version in the OS, but the stock dump thread and download was certain it was .4, so that is what I labeled it. Not sure what I should do with this one.
Anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps someone has a link to a new dump post of 3.63.707.4?
Due to a new job and family stuff, I do not have the same time to devote to development, which is why I haven't made any new Guru Reset's in quite a while.
I know these versions are probably outdated, so if someone has a link to a updated stock dump with the latest version, perhaps I could just make a new Reset ROM from that and pull the 3.63.707.4 version.
Let me know.
Thanks

No worries, but many many thanks for your site, and the important thing are the RUUs
If nobody get's back to you, when I have time, I'll downgrade (have to change MID and CID too ) and try to get you a system dump (or the files that need to be changed) in the Resets.
(not sure when that's gonna happen, as I don't think I have time to wipe/restore my sdcard at the moment...)

How do you guys get RUU files? Do you guys make it or its leaked from HTC?
