You do not have to relock your bootloader to do the upgrade. If you have S-off then you can just follow the instructions for flashing. It will upgrade you hboot, so if you relock before doing it you can't get back to S-off because the revone tool doesn't work on the new hboot.
I looked and that zip has the stock recovery in it so you should delete recovery.img from that zip before flashing to keep your custom recovery.
Won't lose s-off or data.
This is good guide for the firmware flashing:

PS - Most important thing before doing a firmware flash, DO NOT GO S-ON. Keep S-off until you need to return the device, otherwise you may not be able to get it back on and will have trouble restoring to stock if needed.

So this means the hboot upgrade would not affect my s-off right? Just a little paranoid about losing s-off and bricking my phone.
Also thanks for the advice. I wanted to relock my device and upgrade the firmware. Would have end up doing what I am afraid of.

Correct, if you already have s-off then upgrading the hboot won't turn you s-on. Also since you keep s-off you can downgrade the hboot if needed.
Basically if you have s-off then pretty much nothing is going to take that away, and it will allow you to get out of most jams, so it is pretty hard to brick a device with s-off.
Keep you bootloader unlocked and keep s-off and have fun.

Thanks mate. Your advice is much appreciated.

Incredible S Warranty Repair Revert to Full Stock

Hi All
I have a HTC Incredible S (sim free WWE) which is currently running a modified Stock version of ICS.
I would like to revert back to a Stock ROM as I need to send my phone away for repair so it gets repaired under the warranty.
So I would like to change back to S-ON and put the Stock Gingerbread ROM back on withour Root etc.
I have looked on the internet for this but either the guides are for different models or are out of date so some of the install files are outdated or not available anymore.
Please can you guys help me so that I can fully revert back to Stock so I can send my phone away for repair. My Bootloader screen is as below:
*** BlackRose ***

[Q] modelid is PN071*****?

Is that supposed to happen? Is it safe to assume that my mid is PN0710000 then? if not, how should I fix this?
Wait, where is written this MID?
in adb when trying to fastboot getvar all. It probably didn't help that it says getvar all failed, but I'm stuck here
Wait, if you will you the command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
you musb be in fastboot usb.
If you're in android, you can boot in fastboot with the command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader[/url] and now you can use the getvar.
p.s. Post it here deleting imei and serial number :)
I did it just like that, did it a couple more times just to make sure, and still got the same result. Anyways:

Your version main start with 5, when the latest base starts with 3, and this is strange.
However, have you flashed some firmware in this period?
Probably there is a solution, but i don't know atm.
well, I just bought this phone yesterday (yay me), realized something was off when I couldn't OTA update (which is because of S-off), and now afraid to just flash the new 3.62 firmware because of the stars (asterisks?). could it be i did something wrong with the commands?
Try to flash a ruu for your phone
ok, I'll take a look at that. thanks for your help Guich
edit: what kind of RUU should I get? do i need to match it with the bootloader or something else, or any one of them works?

A ruu compatible with your cid
Because you're s-off and all ruu can be flashed fine!
hey Guich, I took your advice and tried to flash the RUU, but now i'm getting very confused. the flashing went fine, but I see no changes on my phone. In Settings>About>Software Information the software version is still 1.29.401.13, while getvar all shows me that the version is 3.62.401.1. Is there anything I'm misunderstanding here?
edit: do i need to unlock the bootloader for any of this?
I have same PN071**** I dont remember what was there before I have it from Ebay probly some Chinesse version but the cover say that it is PN714000, I accidently changed S-OFF to S On and flashed another rom.I cant do S-OFF anymore tried many things. Riffbox doesnt work with 714000 unfortunately.

HTC One software update

Hello, I have a problem with updating my HTC One, usually I would go to phone's settings, info, updates, it would scan for new software, download it, reboot, install and it's good to go. Recently I rooted my phone and installed TWRP, now when it downloads the update it reboots but enters TWRP recovery but what do I do from there? If I just reboot I still get the update prompt. Thanks for any help.

a little bit of searching, would have told you that you need to have stock recovery for OTAs to work.... (and obviously stock ROM)
Ok just a quick set of questions then so I don't brick my phone if you don't mind..
So to update I go like this:
- flash stock recovery with TWRP (recovery 4.19.401.9.img I found this?)
- go to settings etc and update as usual
- when updated flash TWRP again
- reroot my phone
I this ok? Will I lose any data doing it like this? My phone is just rooted, s-on.
Thanks.

i don't think 4.19.401.9 will match you current version, so start by posting a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)
and the ROM is stock?

you're getting the update to .11 ?
anyway, yes, get stock recovery 4.19.401.8, available here: http://d-h.st/0Jy thanks to @Guich
flash that, and you should be good to install the OTA, you may loose root along the way, in which case you'll need to re-root after the OTA

Htc one regional settings

Hello, guys I have experience with flashing android devices but with the new devices everything is more complicated. I bought a phone but is designed for ASIA region. I live in UK, in internal memory has some applications in chinese language and I decided to download european firmware. Here the problems come. First I need to change CID which required S-OFF. This took me a lot of time because I'm with 1.57 HBOOT. Root and custom rom as well. I also changed MID. I'm not sure why because nothing happend after this changes. I still can't install Stock European ROM. Sometimes, receiving error 155 or stuck at checking header (5 %). Is my goal possible at all ?

You may have to downgrade your hboot to flash a RUU.
What did you change your cid and mid too ? your best to look at @nkk71 superguide before going any further
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
I succeeded, but I'm not very happy because can't update via OTA. May be because using European stock rom The installer said:
"We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its software. For your protection we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to official HTC system software to update your phone."
I tried manually from the recovery but got this error
assert failed file_getprop( /system/build.prop ro.build.fingerprint )
After so much effort I won't revert back to Asian stock rom. Do you have an idea how to skip verifying ? Or what else needs to be changed to make my phone as europen edition ?

did you downgrade your hboot ?
what RUU did you use .. your mainver is missing
from the error you had it looks like you trying to flash an OTA and not a Full RUU
Yes I did. From Hboot 1.57 to 1.44 in order to install RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe

Why not try the RUU 4.19.401.9 it might work better and you will not have to do as many updates.
Finally after three whole days I succeeded thanks to you and this thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305490
Now after many updates approximately 8 I'm using European Stock Rom with the latest update version 6.09.401.5 and can receiving future updates via OTA

Guru Reset to Stock, OTA doesn't work

Hi,
So I have used a guru reset for my Vodafone AU branded HTC One (M7) as there is no RUU for it. I have gone ahead and "relocked" the bootloader (I'm S-ON BTW), and then attempted to run OTA. All works fine until it finished installing the update after which it just goes into a boot loop. I've attempted this twice, both times wiping everything beforehand and installing stock recovery (obviously) and stock radio. Is there something else I need to do to get the OTA to work properly or is it impossible to run OTA using this guru reset.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This was the only stock ROM for Vodafone AU I can find. I originally made a nandroid backup when I first rooted the phone but that has since been accidentally deleted. If you have a more recent version of the stock Vodafone AU ROM that would be much appreciated.
version-main is the most important bit and it's blank :-/ I think older versions of TWRP or CWM had a blank version-main bug? Do you remember what was the last OTA update you took or roughly when? Otherwise, maybe update recovery and see if version-main shows up.
Australian stock unbranded nandroids should also work for you. Go check the Australian users thread for nandroid backups for almost every version (x.x.980.x).
@yatindroid I'm curious about making my own reset ROM. Got any links to info/how to?

Do you have Nandroid backup ?
I have Ubuntu so its easy to open and extract nandroid backup and compression
open nandroid backup extract system and data/preload folder
Take any reset rom replace its system and data folder to your backup folders
replace boot recovery radio files from same version (extract from OTA firmware)
edit aroma config details version etc with notepad++
now zip all files and its ready nothing much require
I think @Joeisgood99 have reset rom 6.xx.980.x version
Aah pretty simple then. Yeah, I have nandroid backups. In fact I supplied the contents of the reset ROM in question in this thread. My main stumbling block was downloading a reset ROM as htc1guru was down the last couple times I thought about doing this.

ok i will send build base zip
@deeevan & @yatindroid.
I'm away from my computer until Friday so can't upload my aroma reset to stock until then.
I never uploaded it coz I haven't had a chance to test it ( deeevan understands why) as 6.11.980.12 is still the latest OTA for Optus Australia, and that's the version my reset will take you back to.
When I get home I'll post a link on the Aussie m7 thread and I'll pm the link to you as well yatindroid in case u need to pass on to others. @deeevan below is the link (go back a page or two,) where @alray walks me through how to make your own aroma reset. All u need is a RUU/OTA of what version u wanna go back to, any old aroma reset .zip and @alray s detailed instructions and your set.

Have a good one guys!

Thanks! 6MB is much nicer to download than 1GB+, especially when I'm going to delete most of that anyway

Sorry for resurrecting an old zombie thread, but after a few days of searching the forums and multiple flashes and resetting of my phone (HTC One m7, Australia Vodafone), this has been the thread closest to my own issue. Like OP Poster acnak, I am trying to reset my phone to stock using Guru Reset (guru_reset_m7_2-24-980-2.zip) and while it works, when it goes to install an OTA when it reboots it gets stick in a boot loop.
I have looked for a more recent reset but can't find one. Can someone point me in the direction of one, or give pointers on how to make one myself from one of the ota I have downloaded... or something equally as easy but obscure that I haven't found it yet.

You can't use that guru reset rom to restore your phone, its way to old, your phone is running the 7.21.980.22 firmware so you would need a 7.21.980.2 or 7.21.980.22 guru reset rom and unfortunately there are no guru reset roms for 7.xx.xxx.x version. You can't make a guru reset rom from an ota update. ota updates are only patches, not the entire system and even if it would be possible to do it, you would have the same problem since the reset rom wouldn't match your firmware version.
Simply flash the 7.21.980.22 RUU using instructions from here
This will reset your phone back to 100% stock.

Many thanks on the link and info. I followed the instructions but got the following fail message
Code:
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAIL12 signature verify fail
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
From my understanding this means there are issues with my bootloader version which is 1.61.0000. Is there anyway to change this, or an alternative file that corresponds with my hboot version?
Cheers
