Flashing a RUU?

Hello there
These are the current stats of my device:
ROM: TrickDroid 7.5.0
CID: superCID 11111111
S-OFF
Recovery: TWRP 2.5.0
Bootloader: Unlocked
If I want to flash a RUU, I understand that just about ANY RUU will work because I have Super CID, but I want to know if there certain prerequists to flashing a RUU? Like for instance would I have to relock bootloader, set it to S-ON, flash stock recovery first, etc?
I'll probably be flashing either one of those:
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.3_R_Radio_4A .14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_311678_signed.exe
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
Thanks

You should be able to flash the ruu the way you are. The only differences between your phone and mine when I flashed the brightstar ruu is the Rom I was on and I had relocked my bootloader. S-off will be retained after the flash but twrp will be replaced with the stock recovery. If it fails to flash you can try it again after relocking the bootloader but I don't think it's necessary.

Thank you very much. I won't need the bootloader to be unlocked anyhow in order to receive OTA updates so I might as well relock it and not flash a custom recovery. I do not need to be S-ON in order to receive OTA updates, right? Just locked bootloader, RUU, stock recovery and the proper CID (like HTC__001, for instance)? And while S-OFF, is changing CID from 111111 to HTC__001 as easy as using one command like
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
?

Your pretty much spot on... Keep in mind that for otas your model id needs to be right for the ruu you flash as well as the cid. For example my phone is a US AT&T model has the same model id for the US dev version. So I just needed to be sure to flash the US dev ruu (brightstar) and then set the correct cid (bs_us001) and life is good. Problem is I don't personally know the model id or cid for the ruus you intend to flash. The good news is you can find your model id as well as change it if you need to. The threads to do this are pretty easy to find I'll get a link if you need me too. And to confirm "fastboot oem writecid ********" is what ya need... The asterisks are of course whatever cid you intend to write.

You can find your model id by doing this in this thread if you need to

Thank you so much for your reply. So from what I understood, in order to go back to stock, I'd have to flash a RUU that will be compatible with my Model ID, correct? I do know what my model is, and it is PN0711000 if I am not mistaken (I have it saved on a text file somewhere), but the problem is that I will not know which model ID I need and for which RUU. And by the way, if something ever goes wrong with my device after returning it to full stock but with a different Model ID, wouldn't HTC be able to figure that out and void my warranty? Sorry for the 20 questions I am very new to this. I appreciate your help.

Just replied to you in another thread lol... Um if that's your model id I believe... Emphasis on believe... That matches the Europe ruu and possibly the Asia one too. Maybe someone who knows for sure will pop in here and confirm. As far as the warranty stuff if there is no ruu for you specific carrier then make a fresh nandroid backup of the stock Rom and with s-off can be made like it was when you bought it.

Yeah I just saw your post there, thank you lol. Unfortunately I was stupid enough not to make a Nandroid Backup of my stock ROM before I went ahead and flashed a custom one.

RUU for my 801e M7

Hello every one
I'm a noob in HTC world.. I always had Samsung devices.. So excuse my silly questions
I was trying to find the correct RUU for my handset I already search this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874
But I couldn't or to be more specific don't know how to choose the correct RUU
This is my info which I get from CID Getter
CID HTC_J15.. MID: PN0711000.. currently running 1.29.401.17
If more info is needed I will provide them
I found this post # 929
- Can this file serve as RUU for my device if yes which file should I use the "Backup CWM" or the "Image"
- If I use this will it consider stock rom so I can receive OTA in the future
- What is the difference between RUU with extension of .exe or .zip.. is there is advantage or disadvantage to either one of them
- If this one can't serve as RUU how I can extract the RUU from my device
your help is greatly appreciated

Nobody wants to help!!
Ok at least can someone plz tell me what things I should looking for in RUU to know if it's compatible with my device or not

x.xx.401.x and m7u seems doesn't match.
did u buy your device brand new?

ya it was new, it's a MEA 3g version
Does the RUU have to match my CID, I found RUU match my firmware but with different CID

[Q] OTA Update!!

Hi guys,
this is the first post for me here, and I hope to find help
Yesterday I got my HTC ONE but I found that the android version is jelly bean 4.1.2 which doesn't contain the IR TV app and the HDR camera option and other thing..
I tried to check for updates and it says that my phone is up to date already !!
I searched the internet for some help if I can download the official 4.2.2 firmware but I found that my phone model is not supported "Model: PN07110 and CID: HTC_332"
I want to update it manually to 4.2.2 and without root if it could
My mobile details:
Software #: 1.36.599.1
CID: HTC__332

Hello Guich,
I recently bought HTC One with the same CID but different model id...
i.e : CID : HTC__332
Model I.D : PN0711000
HBOOT : 1.44.0000
Radio: 4A.15.3250.22
Now i did follow you step by step as carefully as i could because its my first time with changing RUU's, I did root some htc handsets in the past but thats the only knowledge i have regarding android.
Anyways i gained S-Off Using revone and downloaded the RUU you posted, but while installing that RUU i get this error
[Error 131 : Invalid Model ID]
Can you guide me to a specific RUU of my current model or a simpler guide to changing Model ID because the following guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820 is too difficult and i cant seem to understand it, maybe you can help me out.. i would be very grateful to you.

Which CID gets the fastest OTA?

My CID is htc_001 and it sucks i allways get ota updates very slow compared to the other cids, so my question is to which cid should i change in order to get the fastest ota updates?
And another question, i flashed TWRP and rooted my phone, i still can get ota updates?
Again sorry for my noobish questions and my bad english.

You will need to be fully stock to get OTA's, recovery, no missing apps, stock rom etc.
and as for CID, well at a guess I would say super cid would get the updates first, however, recently ive heard its very dependant on your operator, country and whether you brought your phone or its on contract.
Im in the UK and on CID HTC__001 too, I read today that HTC are releasing the sense 6 update to UK customers somewhere around the 11th June, so Wednesday. im all ready for it, just got to flash stock recovery.

you need the stock recovery file (recovery.img) from the same version firmware of your phone. i.e if you phone is on 4.19.401.1 and you want to update to 5.20.401.1, you need the recovery.img file from the 4.19.401.1 firmware.

yes you need s-off, and if you change your cid, it must match your sw version! some software version only have a unique compatible cid and other have many compatible cid. i.e .401 sw version can use many different cid: HTC__001, HTC__Y13, HTC__032, HTC__203 etc etc..... but .502 version can only use one cid: CWS__001
to change cid:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid YOUR_CID [COLOR="Green"]<---- in most cases, start with HTC in capital letter, 2 underscores and 3 digits, always 8 characters total.[/COLOR]
i.e:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
you can read your actual cid with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid

on some sw version, you will not receive ota update with supercid. supercid is used to bypass cid check when installing some rom/ruu.
for s-off question, read the link i have posted at post #6

International ROM on T-Mobile Variant

Hi, I am very very new to HTC. This is my first HTC phone.
I just bought the HTC One M7 (T-Mobile Unlocked) Variant, I have one simple question. How do I install "international stock ROM" (UK or something like that, not GPE ROM) on my t-mobile phone. I hate all the bloatwares from t-mobile.
Please give me a guided path step by step (I will really appriciate it)
Phone is brand new, not rooted, got it yesterday.
Screenshot attached for more details.

"T-Mobile" isn't a variant of the M7, its a carrier brand. T-Mobile phones are the M7_UL variant which is the most common one. You can simply unlock the bootloader flash a stockish/ debranded rom for the M7_UL or if you want you can do the full conversion to the x.xx.401.x version using a RUU (requires S-OFF). Is your phone sim-locked to t-mobile? If yes you'll also need to sim-unlock it, flashing a rom or doing the conversion will not remove the sim-lock.

First I would recommend you should use the7.19.401.51 version which is the latest one. In order to flash one of these RUU you will first need to achieve S-OFF, Change your CID number, change your MID number and finally flash the RUU.
Achieve S-OFF with Sunshine, will cost you USD 25$ to use the app, no there isn't any free method.
Change your CID to HTC__001 (do the commands when booted in bootloader/fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
fastbooot reboot-bootloader
Change your MID to PN0710000: (do the commands when booted in a custom recovery or when booted in a rooted rom)
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x50\x00\x4e\x00\x30\x00\x37\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=1 seek=16384
exit
Then flash the 7.19.401.51 RUU with the instruction posted in the RUU colelction thread at post #1.
