[Q] Getting S-off - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I just went through the process of rooting my One and installing TWRP. I would like to try some custom ROMs so I'm guessing I have to S-Off now. However, I got the OTA for 1.31.651.2 a few days ago. Is there a tool that will allow me to S-Off? I tried one of the toolkits I found in the forums but it kept failing, saying "segmentation fault" when using revone. If anyone could shed some light and help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it!

there's no exploit for that firmware yet.if your hboot didn't change you could flash a rom with the .10 base and s-off(i think) but if the hboot changed from 1.44.0000 then you;r out of luck

Good news! I poked around the forum and decided to visit revolutionary's website. Downloaded revone and installed it directly from my phone following their instructions. Successfully S-Off!
FYI hboot did not change from 1.44.0000.

[Q] 4.3 Sprint RUU

Hi, I was wondering if there was going to be an RUU for 4.03.651.2 firmware. I tried to take the update with an outdated version of TWRP, and I would like to go back to stock and reroot. I have tried and failed to gain S-Off with Revone and moonshine. I am unsure of what to do. My phone is not recognized by ADB in recovery, so I cannot use the S-Off workaround to flash an old RUU. Any suggestions/responses are appreciated.
Thanks,
Vobeyo

Hmm... I just assumed that there wouldn't be an RUU for 1.31. Do you know of any way to gain S-Off so that I can flash the 1.29 RUU?
RUU
This can be very frustrating, I know.
I used Moonshine to achieve S-OFF, yesterday. Reason was because I managed to delete almost everything, I still don't know exactly what happened. However, if I remember correctly, you need S-On in order to run a stock RUU. There are several threads that pretty much will walk you thru the steps needed to flash the RUU. I was on them yesterday.
Good luck.

You don't need S-Off or S-On to run the RUU, but the bootloader has to be locked (or relocked). Believe that I read that HTC was going to not release RUUs any more because they didn't want others to tear them apart, etc. But don't quote me on that one...
From my understanding, S-Off is required to flash an RUU for a firmware version that does not match the version you are currently on. Could you please refer me to one of these threads? I would appreciate it very much.

I've also heard the same however how can I gain S-Off without mounting the internal storage? Or ADB? I can't get either to work.

I believe that if you have a custom recovery installed, you can use the workaround by accessing the terminal from the recovery, type the command, and then lock the bootloader. I am not completely sure on that, though.
If your on 4.3 there is no RUU and no s-off exploit at this time. This is why it's always recommended to root/s-off before you update.

If you updated your phone to latest sprint 4.3 that's it you cannot instal RUU any more
s-on s-off not gonna help you
you can download naked drivers for htc one http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachd...river_0.72.zip but first delate/uninstal all htc/syn drivers
and jus push any 4.3 rooted rom to your phone and install g-luck
Don't know if this will help you or not, just stumbled across it a couple of minutes ago.

Problems Downgrading From 4.06.651.9

OK....I am on 4.06.651.9 --- S-off --- 1.56 H-boot ---CID SPCS_001 --- Unlocked. I've been trying to completely downgrade and tried using RUU 1_29_651_10, both zip and exe and I get the same notification ---"FAILED"--- Device is recognized and I've tried it with both "locked" and "unlocked" and with the Sprint CID and with Super Cid. I feel like I'm out of options. Anyone have a sure-fire fix for this?

Follow this guide to get back to JB then use the 1.29 RUU to accomplish what you are trying to do.
Something changed with hboot 1.56...for some reason it won't allow you to run an older RUU even though you are s-off

THANK YOU!! I'll definitely try it... I'll post my results :fingers-crossed:
Well crap....it didn't work. I got the "error 155". Do I need to downgrade the h-boot to 1.55 or should it have worked for 1.56? Thats the only reason I can see why it didn't work. Also, I downloaded and ran the ".exe" file at the top of the page, should I have used the modified firmware ".zip" ?
EDIT: Oh man...I feel so dumb...I somehow missed the part about downloading the "decrypted" file....I just saw it saying "Developers" and didn't think that was the one....I'll try that one tomorrow..

[Q] flashing rom s-on

I have an AT&T variant m7 running 4.1.2 and I'm gonna be unlocking, flashing tarp, and rooting. I am looking to install the newest viperone Rom and am wondering if I can do this s-on or not, I've read some stuff that says I have to flash boot.img after and some that says before, and others that say I don't need that step at all! I just wanna get this straightened out so I don't screw up. Any help would be appreciated and if there are any other suggestions I'd be happy to hear them

So after I unlock bootloader, flash twrp, and root, once I get s-off, do I need to re-flash the stock recovery before flashing RUU, then flash twrp again then flash viper? Also why the RUU, I just want to understand what I'm doing and why. Thank you so much for your help, I'm definitely a noob and am really interested in this world.

Ok so I after having a bunch of issues with htcdev site I finally unlocked my bootloader using the kingo program, then I flashed twrp 2633 and rooted although I forgot to erase cache after flashing twrp. At first it didn't boot in recovery, just booted up normally but it worked the second time, after rooting root checker said I didn't have proper root but after rebooting again it says it is rooted. Superuser said I need to update binaries wasn't sure how but I read somewhere to install superSU from playstore. Anyways that's not really my issue, just thought I'd let u know it was goin. When I try running revone, after I run ./revone.bin -P I'm getting revone fail error -6. Coundnt find a strait answer so thought I'd check here. Thanks all and let me know if u need any other info

I'm not sure why you want to S-off. You have now unlocked, changed recovery, and rooted. You can simply download viper one rom and flash it from recovery. You dont need to flash any boot.img for m7. I hope that helps. If you still want to S-off use rumrunner. revone is not supported for bootloader that comes with 4.1.2. Do note that you cannot s-on again once you s-off the device.

I was getting s-off because I was told to get s-off so I could flash the 3.17 ruu to update my hboot/ touchscreen drivers and radio before flashing viper, which I figured so viper would run smoother. I'm a noob just getting into modding. I have a AT&T HTC one running on crickets new gsm network and since I can't get OTAs I first wanted to just get up to 4.4 and sense 6 but then I figured I'd just go custom Rom.

Well after failing with revone, rumrunner, and firewater I went ahead and flashed viper, and everything was fine. I can't help be bugged by the fact that you told me to get s-off and flash that ruu to get the updated radio and touchscreen drivers, I read that I need a 4.2 Rom to get revone to work so I am gonna give it another try. I tried running firewater with ARHD and it said that it had an anti-firewater patch. So I am just curious as to what the importance of having the updated hboot, radio, and touchscreen drivers. I just feel like I should still get it done since u told me not to skip that step, not to mention later on down the line when I get more familiar with all of this dev and modding stuff I might want to do other things that require a-off. Thanks for all your help and info . Before I continue with it I made a backup of viper with the setting and themes I've set up, after I get s-off and flash the ruu, should I 're-flash the Rom or can I restore my backup with out changing any of the updated software, I didn't think the Rom would have anything to do with it but I just wanna make sure. Thanks

you can restore your backup with the new firmware
for firewater you needed ARHD + ElementalX kernel
it mark just fine with the ViperOne rom also
Revone only works on hboot 1.44 and android 4.1.2 and/or 4.2.2

Do you think firewater will work with viper+Elemental X kernel? If I used the same guide as with ARHD. I tried to s-off with revone by flashing a 4.2.2 viper Rom but I lost all signal and service, so I restored my backup. Also I was wondering since I'm running the 3.17 ruu to update radio and stuff , should I use the 4.18 ruu since its newer? Thanks again for all the help.
UPDATE: Well ran firewater since coudnt get revone to work , took all of like 45 seconds and it said device is s-off. Couldn't believe it after all the trouble I've had.Awesome!

[Q]Back to Stock-Problem

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get my htc one back to stock, to get the latest ota update (4.4.3), so that I can use the latest venomrom (I think it's 7.0.1 by now).
As far as I understood it, I have to go back to stock to do that, but there were some problems I could not fix.
First my Version is 2.24.206.7 and I can't find any stock recovery for it, I searched the whole internet (that's how it felt), but nothing. I have a backup from my stock rom, that is not the problem.
Second I'm currently S-on, and my hboot is 1.54. I tried to s-off it with firewater, but it did not work.
And I have a custom kernel (ElementalX) installed, is that a problem? If it is, how can I fix it?
I hope someone can help me, and these questions are not already answered somewhere.
Thank you!

Try to s-off with Rumrunner
after your s-off it's easy to update your firmware and flash ViperOne rom
Thanks for the fast answer!
I wanted to s-off with rumrunner using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488772
But my firmware is not available, or can I use the universal Rumrunner? I think it does not work with hboot 1.54.

What is the next step, because I don't have any stock recovery for my firmware? or a stock kernel..
EDIT: I was searching for RUU to flash, but the weird thing is, that my CID is O2 germany, and my firmware is O2 UK. What should I flash? There is no exact RUU for my CID, or I did not find it..
I'm really clueless how I could get the latest OTA, I don't find any fitting backup or ruu for my phone..
Or is there any other way to get the OTA's?

You now have s-off you can convert your phone to international
you need this
MID_Change_1.01.zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358538634
use modelid: PN0710000
and simply change your CID to HTC__001
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
then use this RUU
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
or here
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe
you should get OTA, then go back to unlocking your bootloader and Rooting as usual

Kindly Guide Me

I have one HTC One M8 Sprint (Non HK version). presently it has android 4.4, S-ON, sim unlocked, rooted, twrp.
i want to install lolipop rom on it. kindly guide me how to proceed with all requirements step by step. and which lolipop rom is good for daily use.
thanks
We can't. Sunshine doesn't seem to work anymore to gain s-off do we are screwed until someone that doesn't support a paywall figures out how to be able to gain s-off so we can flash the RUU.
I hate this damn phone and I wish I knew how to develop myself.

Our phones don't come s-off so why would they need to be s-off to RUU?
Beats me. I tried the external sd method. Fastboot method. Changed my CID. nothing works.

Plenty of other people have successfully RUU'd their phones while S-on. It does require an extra step but it can be done. Also, as far as S-off with Sunshine, I believe the latest version (3.0) is compatible with Lollipop.
To the OP: Hit the second link in my sig. Scroll down to the RUU section and take a read. A link to OMJ's RUU thread can be found at the bottom of the first post of my thread. Download the latest applicable RUU (4.25.651.14 for NON-HK or 4.25.654.14 for the HK version). Follow my instructions in my thread to run the RUU on your device.

External sd method = needs s-off so won't work for s-on users.
Fastboot method = most RUU's are exe files so most likely won't work via fastboot method.
Changed my CID = cannot be done unless you are s-off.

You do have to be s-off to go backwards, but just to RUU s-off is not required
Are you by chance using a computer, not to be a ****, but like what are some of the results and we can try to help you with using the RUU... Sometimes they are touchy and need to be done in an exact way...and patience is key
