[Q] how do I get OTA updates on a unlocked boot loader - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As said in the title I have not rooted by phone just unlocked the boot loader I just got rid of the bloat ware that came with my device. However, having read some articles online I have come to realise that after doing the htc dev unlock, you do not get OTA updates anymore. Does anyone know how to get OTA updates?. I do no really want to root my device, but if its the only way now i will.
Any help is useful
thanks

S-Off. H/W you need root to S-Off or you can just relock your bootloader.

Prob bcuz you don't have the matching CID. Change your CID to HTC__Y13, and try again. Also, if you have debloated your phone, it is possible that it might be causing the issue.

If you have stock recovery kernel and rom then just change your cid to get OTA
No need to lock bootloader or to set s-on.
If not flash new rom (ruu.exe) (dont have to be on stock recovery firmware kernel and dont have to lock bootloader)
Change your CID and youre getting OTA

You don't need to re-lock the bootloader. I have S-OFF and unlocked bootloader and just installed the 2.24.401.1 OTA update. My CID was HTC__001 but I had to change it to HTC__Y13 to get the OTA update.

hey guys thanks for the help how do i change the cid ?

If you have S-off enter fastboot and type fastboot oem writecid HTC__Y13 when done reboot and check for updates and they should pop up.
Once downloaded and installed enter fastboot again and change cid back to what you had before.

S-Off Definitive answer needed.

My device is natively 1.28.61.7 cid ORANG001 (UK EE/Orange/T-Mobile) although my bootloader is unlocked and I have been running custom software since I got it.
I have successfully s-offed my device with revone, removed the tampered warning and set super cid just with the fastboot method.
My question is...Can I permanently 'debrand' my device and continually receive and install stock updates by
1 Changing my cid to HTC__001 by the fastboot method.
2 Running a 1.2x.401.x RUU
3 Receive and install ota updates.
Will this scenario work as I have seen many conflicting answers on this forum and, if yes, do I need my bootloader locked or unlocked??
Also, if this scenario proves to be successful, where would it leave me if a subsequent ota update closes the s-off loophole??
Any informed assistance would me much appreciated.
To completely debrand:
S-OFF
Supercid
Flash a unbranded RUU
change your cid to HTC_001( or one you want)
You will receive OTA and all you need

you DO NOT need to lock bootloader
it can stay unlocked
and you NEED supercid to flash the RUU
after flashed RUU, change you cid to HTC_001

If you're on a custom ROM then you don't need to change your CID. It's only if running stock is it important
bobsie41 said:

With Supercid you can't receive Official OTAs, so you have to set your cid to the One that receives updates First! for example, if your hear updates start rolling out in France for the french CID HTC_203, you just have to change your cid to HTC_203 and update via OTA, even if bootloader is unlocked, the most important for official updates is the CID!
If you're going to put supercid, that allow you to rom/firmware/ruu independantely from the CID, but not automatic official updates, just manual ones via recovery or fastboot (ruu).
Hope it clears out things

So quick question, I also have a Orange handset running 1.28.61.7... did you manage to S-off your device? ?
Just all i can see is there is no S-off for this software variant... please help.
Although when the device has a different model ID then the OTA will not install.
For example if your device has MID PN0714000 and you are trying to install OTA update 1.29.401.X then it will fail.

The software variant your running does not matter.
What matters is the CID and the MID.
I've posted the sections you need to read in the thread you opened.

[Q] S-off guide?

Ok so Im somewhat of a noob so I was wondering if any experts can help me out?
I wanted to get S-off on my HTC one so I can change my MID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820)
I have a few problems with S-off?
Firstly, do I have to have my phone rooted to get s-off?
If yes, then I have to unlock the boot loader first and then root it right? If so can you give me a simple guide that shows how to unlock the bootloader followed by rooting?
Secondly, Can you give me a link to a SIMPLE guide to get s-off?

Yeah mine is Hboot 1.44.000 but before do the S-off tutorial, Should I unlock the bootloader and root the phone? or can I just do S-off?
Revone s-off can be run from a fully stock Rom, with no need to unlock the bootloader or rooting before. (Following the guide linked in previous post)

Using adb commands while booted in the stock Rom.
No you can be fully stock while using the revone guide if you don't want to unlock via the HTCdev method.
You only need to be rooted if you want to s-off without the use of a pc (using terminal emulator on your device).

I don't think you should be messing with S-Off when you don't really know what you're doing and haven't even got adb installed
Also, changing your MID can be risky and is a lot trickier than simple S-Off, which you should know how to do. I know someone who bricked their phone changing the MID.

I guess you are right. My knowledge is limited and I don't wont to brick my phone.
But on the other hand, I really need the 4.2.2 update. I have some problems with the current one.
Anyways, When I use fastboot, I get CID HTC__001.
Thats USA so I'm guessing it'll be a while for the update to come out huh? But my phone is not locked to any carrier.
How long do you think itll take before update OTA is available?
Thanks alot man

Thank you so much.
I started doing what you said before you put this post.
I did the same thing but in step 3 I just changed the CID to HTC__Y13 instead of fastboot oem writecid 11111111.
When I rebooted I got the update for 4.2.2 and downloaded it too. But when installing it reboots into recovery and says aborted.
Do I have to to steps 4 5 6 7 8 or is there way to just install the downloaded OTA?

hello every one this is my first post i need some help please.
i bought a htc one preowned and i have since been in settings and its running a custom rom
android revolution hd 12.1 by mike 1986
my phone cid is htc_001
how do i return it to stock htc os
i have read a few posts before posting here i no i have to re lock bootloader then flash the ruu
i was wondering is there an easier way to relock bootloader and flash the ruu could some one also point me in the right direction
to which ruu to download with a link if possible to download.
thanks in advance for any help u may give with some simple instructions that i can understand as this is new to me and do not want to

Where was the phone purchased and what was the carrier? It's possible your CID was changed.
Assuming htc__001 is correct, the RUU collection is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
There are no RUUs for 4.2, so this would mean downgrading. But you should then start getting OTAs.
Note that running a RUU will fully wipe the phone. So back up anything on it you want to keep.

You have superCID, which means any RUU will run. You have the generic European model. CIDGetter is pulling the original cid from some system file, but it doesn't reflect the actual cid.

That is a bit trickier and riskier since you don't know what was done to your phone before you bought it. I don't recommend going back to s-on because of this. However, running the correct RUU should put you back to safe stock.
Once the RUU has run and you've confirmed that the phone boots and is back to a stable stock configuration, you need to reboot and run a series of commands in fastboot:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
This will restore your stock CID. Note that there are two underscores there.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Confirm on your bootloader screen that the CID is correct.
fastboot oem lock
This will relock your bootloader. Reboot again and confirm that it says "LOCKED" on your bootloader (Not "RELOCKED"). Boot up your phone and confirm that everything seems to be running correctly. You may want to give this a few days. Then reboot to bootloader when you're comfortable with it.
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
This will put you back to s-on. When you reboot from here, your bootloader should say LOCKED and S-ON as if it was out of the box.

I too need to put my T-mobile HTC One back to stock somehow, but don't even know where to start, I saw this thread so I didn't want to clutter up the subforum, and thought that maybe I should ask here.

You need to s-off first or it will say "RELOCKED" on the bootloader. Problem is you may or may not be able to s-off right now. There is a new T-Mo exploit that supposedly works but I know nothing about it.
Once you do that, you can run an older RUU, which will remove the TAMPERED from the bootloader, then relock and s-on as described above.

Crap. Well I know they're not going to check the bootloader lol, just that when you turn on the phone, you'll see the red text at the bottom saying "Developmental purposes" and I can't remember the rest of the message. Can I make that disappear so it just shows nothing on the white background but the green HTC logo? Btw thanks for the reply.

Cannot update to 4.3 with sense 5.5?

I followed the guide below to change my CID to HTC_13 to get the 4.2.2 update faster. Everything was fine.
Today my phone detected the 4.3 update with sense 5.5 and after I download it and I click install, the phone reboots and it installs for a while before a Red Exclamation in a red triangle appears.
After a while it reboots and Im asked to download the update again. Can You tell me why this is so?
I'm on S-OFF and Unlocked bootloader.

Then can you tell my why it fails to update?
I've no idea. So long as you're 100% stock, have the right CID and MID you should have no issues. It worked fine for me, but then again I'm S-OFF so whether that has anything to do with it I don't know as I downloaded the OTA and flashed it manually in the stock recovery
Me to.. just back 100% stock RUU 1.26.xxx.x and I didn't receive any ota update

bootloader doesnt have to be locked to received and install the update
can you verify what exactly was the first update you received?
after returning to stock yesterday, i received two updates and downloaded both
first update was some firmware fix and the second was the 4.3 update
both run flawlessly and now i am on stock 4.3 sense 5.5
s-off, unlocked bootloader
Does flashing a RUU also install the correct recovery? I have my HTC One S-off, unlocked and changed the CID to 11111111, flashed the RUU and now when I get the OTA it just comes up with the error that my version of Android is modified so it can not be updated.
What have I done wrong?

changing CID

Hi all, I was on cid HTC__332 but then i got SuperCID since HTC__332 was slow on updates, now i want to go back to stock, can i get Taiwan CID instead of my original CID since Taiwan is fast on updates, so can i write Taiwanese CID HTC__621 instead of my original stock CID? any help will be much appreciated , thanks

You can change to whatever CID you have but you MUST have same software version as your CID to receive OTA...
That means:
fastboot getvar cid = adb shell getprop ro.cid

ok so i have one question, im on CID HTC__621 (CID for Taiwan) and MID PNO711000 (also for Taiwan/Asia region) , i'm planning to flash stock recovery, and relock my bootloader after installing Stock Taiwanese ROM, will i be able to get OTA's then? i downgraded my Hboot too , to match the stock rom base, will i get OTA's by relocking bootloader after installing stock rom? Please note that HTC__621 is not my original CID, my original was HTC__332, thanks

you don't need to relock bootloader as you S-OFF to receive/apply OTA but completely stock is a MUST including stock recovery

ok so the fact that HTC__621 isnt my ORIGINAL cid and that i changed to it from HTC__332 wont cause any trouble with the OTA and firmware, right?

bear in mind you need to downgradeto unlock bootloader again via revone, locked/unlocked bootloader check are skipped as you s-off, I'm receiving and applying OTA with unlocked bootloader without any problems

so you mean that if i have s off, i can receive OTA without locking bootloader?
EDIT: i am now on OS 2.24.709.1 with hboot 1.54, unlocked and s off , running stock taiwanese 4.2.2 ROM, i receive OTA update to 4.3 and it downloads fine too, but when i choose to install it , the phone boots up into recovery, the progress bar goes halfway and then i get a red exclamation mark icon and i have to restart my phone, can you tell me what i'm doing wrong?when i press power button and volume up and down simultaneously to get the menu in recovery, i see error "cannot mount sd card, fail 1 times" upto 4 times and also there is a Tamper flag on the recovery menu , my bootloader is unlocked but Tampered and i'm on hboot 1.54

did you run RUU? how come you have Tampered? Did you flash custom 2.24.709.1 firmware or original signed one? Can you attach updater-script from OTA (META-INF\com\google\android)
