in what format do you have this update you say you have a .ZIP what zip is this?
you say you are s-off so to get this update i would return your Rom and recovery both to stock and then check your Cid and if its available for you CID recieve the OTA update to change your CID and MID so you can receive it.
The OTA update will update everything. so your firmware, update it to 2.24.401.12 and also to the latest radio

I'ts the (2.24.401.12) firmware zip. Got it from Vomer's post if that helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023&page=2496 . And i thought with having S-off you could just update without worrying about the Cid and Mid? I will take your suggestion into consideration, thanks.

Yes you can update the firmware without changing the cid and mid. But that only refers to the hboot. For full upgrade to 4.2.2 if it's not already available for your cid then you would need to change the cid and mid to receive it. And remember to have a stock recovery. There are guides available if you look through the thread about the update people have posted how to do this. It's Easiest and safest way to do this.
fastboot commands to run RUU files will get you into trouble

If all you need to do is change your cid, you don't need to downgrade HBOOT. Just use the rumrunner technique to S-off (if you're not already) found here, and you should be fine.

It's probably your android.txt that is incorrect. Your MID (Model ID) has to match the one in the txt file.

OK, maybe I should say it again, YOU CANNOT FLASH OR DOWNGRADE AN HBOOT (ESPECIALLY A HEX-EDITED UNSIGNED HBOOT) with S-ON.
Whether you have a HTC One M7_U, M7_UL, M7_WLS, M7 etc. etc. etc. running GPe, Sense, iOS, Ubuntu, Windows, or anything else you can think of.
Just go get S-Off and then you can flash whatever you want. And when/if you do, do some reading before you have a total brick on your hands.
Sorry if that sounds rude, but this is the fact.

Converting Play Edition to Sense Developer Edition?

Can this be done? I got a Google Play Edition phone and decided I do not like stock Android on this phone. I would like it to be basically a stock developer's edition with Sense and all with working OTAs. Not really familiar with HTC stuff coming from Samsung. My HBOOT is 1.54 and it is S-ON. Can I do what I want?

I think you can do that if you get S-Off (use a tool called Rumrunner) and change your CID so you can flash the appropriate RUU. But why stock? The customized ROMs are so much more interesting.

So if I S-Off can I S-On? I think I read somewhere that was required for OTAs to work. I want stock just for the reliability and hassle free nature of it.

Oh, I don't know about that. The rumrunner forum post said they don't really know what happens if you S-On after S-Offing, and that you might not be able to S-Off again. I wouldn't chance it.

But I can downgrade to 1.44 and that would allow me to S-On and get OTA updates right? Or am I totally wrong?
Okay so I've unlocked the bootloader, S-OFF'd, changed to superCID, relocked and tried to run the RUU.exe. I keep getting Error 155: UNKNOWN ERROR. Not sure what to do here. I've also tried using the CID BS_US001 and also some combinations involving an unlocked bootloader. All the same error.

You have S-off which is good. I'm going to ask you to use the BS_US001 CID. Try downloading the 1.29.1540.17 zip from HTC Dev. Do a fastboot oem rebootRUU and flash the zip from there. It should prompt you to do this twice.

I don't care if it says re-locked (so long as it functions how it should), I just want my Sense ROM. I already have the 4.3 Dev Edition zip, should I try flashing it with fastboot?

As far as I can tell you have met all the criteria for running the RUU, I'm not sure why you're running into this. My last suggestion is to try a different USB port. Hopefully someone else will chime in on this if that (which i don't imagine will) does anything at all.

You may be right. Let's have you downgrade the Bootloader to 1.44 and then try running the RUU again.
Just remember that you already have the right MID and CID. CID you changed yourself, MID already matches as the Google Play Edition shares the same MID as the Developer edition (and a few other North American HTC Ones).

Send your phone without S On HTC check for unlocked relocked locked only
If Locked is there without tampered they will avail warranty
To remove Tempered and set Locked use Guru bootloader reset tool in TWRP

Any luck on this front? I am getting the same message when trying to writesecureflag 3. Any ideas?
i had a mis-matching hboot version between my ROM and firmware. downgraded the firmware back to the version matching the ROM and i was able to get S-ON
you guys have a modded hboot in there (who knows what else is non-100%-stock),
consider yourself lucky that command does signature checks, otherwise you'd have an insta-brick paperweight on your hands.

[Q] Need trying to get back to complete stock from ViperOneM8

I'm trying to get back to complete stock to grab OTAs for my HTC One m8. I have s-off and I was following the guide here http://venomroms.com/viperonem8_3-0-0-requirements/ and while following the guide and looking for my Main version number and CID Number the MainVer showed up as empty and my CID Number as SPCS_001. The CID does not match anything from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 What should I do next?
Use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2826343
You'll need the latest RUU which can be found in the first post in the thread linked below. You can use the RUU for software version 3.31.651.2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
I would also suggest sticking to the Sprint section.
You may do something to your phone that is not for the Sprint variant and really mess up your phone.

The RUU will install the stock recovery. If you need info on how to run a RUU click the second link in my sig and read the RUU section.

Okay so I think I get it now please confirm, I run the RUU with my PC then once its finished put the stock recovery corresponding to the RUU I installed in the phone then install the stock recovery using TWRP in my phone then I will have a stock htc rom with stock recovery and the phone will update from there.

The RUU will put you back to completely stock...only difference is your bootloader will say ***RELOCKED*** instead of ***LOCKED***

Complete stock meaning stock rom and stock recovery right? Also what will happen if my bootloader is locked/unlocked?

Correct.
You will need to re-lock your bootloader to run the RUU if you are s-on, if s-off no need to re-lock.

I'm trying to get to stock too but I'm s-on, besides locking the bootloader is there anything else I need to modify?

No, just relock and run the RUU.

I tried relocking and when I ran the RUU this was the output:

Which RUU are you trying to run? Are you on Windows, and why are you trying to fastboot flash it? If you're on Windows simply double-click the RUU to start the installer. It's a exe file, unless you've pulled the ROM zip from the RUU file.
Also, since you've started a separate thread regarding this same issue, I would stick to it to minimize any confusion instead of posting back & forth. Makes it easier to keep up with what's going on
it's the non-hk from htc's page I'm on mac but I pulled the zip from the exe using parallels desktop, I could try doing it on parallels desktop with the windows exe though

Can't root my M9 on Marshmallow

Just upgraded my T-Mobile M9 to Marshmallow and have been playing around with it. I've flashed TWRP and ElementalX 4.00, but I can't root it. Every time I do, it fails to boot. With systemless, it bootloops, and with the standard method, it gets stuck on one of the boot screens. Please help!
ROOT
Hey friend had the same problem as you couldnt get root on TMO MM update, but finally got it this morning by flashing SuperSU v2.62 in recovery and it stuck, so search in SuperSU thread for link to it, hope this helps
I took the OTA then loaded TWRP 3.0 and loaded the SuperSU Beta (2.67 I believe) and had problems with boot loop. I went back into twrp and loaded the current stable ver 2.65 and it worked fine.

Thanks, both of you guys. Finally got it rooted.
Can anyone details the steps for this
I have S-Off rooted stock 5.1 currently. I would like to do a clean install of MM and the re-root.
I assume I need to
1. Wipe phone with Twrp
2. Flash stock recovery (do I need to wipe again with stock?)
3. Take the OTA
4. Flash Twrp again
5. Flash SuperSU 2.6.5
Is that it?

OR just flash the MarshMallow RUU that's available and have have those steps taken care of. Then Install TWRP and SuperSU.
But as far as kernels go ElementalX didn't work for me.
 @rgao007 how did the kernel work for you? I couldn't get Signal when I flashed it.

ElementalX worked fine for me. Are you sure you flashed 4.00?

Ok just tried flashing the RUU to my phone. It failed: Error 155 Unknown Error
Now my phone stuck at the download screen.
I followed RUU to try to recover and it tried again, but same error.
I'll better explain my current settings
HTC One M9 Tmobile 5.1
S-Off with Sunshine
TWRP installed and rooted
I want to goto Marshmallow. I know I can't take OTA so I downloaded the RUU here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m9-t-mobile/news/
Then tried to run it and update my phone.
So what did I do wrong and how can I get my phone back?
Thanks
-EDIT- from what i've read online I need to relock my bootloader. But not sure how to get out of this download mode screen. Holding the powerbutton for 30 secs does nothing.

Wrong RUU there buddy, that's lollipop.
Heres the Marshmallow RUU
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_TMUS_MR_TMOUS_3.39.531.7.exe
Before flashing the RUU make sure you have the correct T-Mobile CID and MID.

Actually their page has been updated it seems. Same file name as the one you linked
http://screencast.com/t/FXrLl5tYoXB7
It's updated now and the file is the same as the one you linked.
Either way even if I was flashing lollipop again it still shouldn't fail.
Error 155 points to unlocked bootloader issues. Is that an issue? Do I need to re-lock to flash MM?
Do I need to flash stock recovery back first?
I set the mid and cid to tmobile when I first unlocked it.

Ok now I see if you are s-off you shouldn't need to relock bootloader.
Then wtf.

Either theres typo, but this is what I get for MID
Code:
C:\Users\lvale\Desktop>fastboot getvar mid
mid: 0PJA12000
finished. total time: -0.000s
Idk if RUU is that stingy for a couple extra zeros missing. Make sure you write the MID with all the zeros like mine.
Also try flashing the rom.zip itself. When the RUU opens up use TaskManager to find the file and in that same directory is a rom.zip and the HTC fastboot witch will allow you to use flash the rom.zip and youll see the verbose output instead of the RUU just saying it failed for whatever reason.
Save the fastboot.exe(In RUU temp folder) since its modified to allow you to flash huge zip files.

Ok I'll try later today and let you know.
Thanks for the help
Ok I updated my mid and actually redownloaded the RUU file just in case.. This time all went perfect!
Thanks for your help! Funny that I was able to flash it initially without the missing zeros.. if that was the actual inhibitor... It was an unlocked AT&T model that I brought to Tmobile and after setting the MID and CID with less zeros, I was able to flash the tmus version of lollipop without issue.
In any case, Thanks all for the help Time for me to enjoy some marshmallow love
