Hello, here is a very simple guide to be able to use revone to s-off on the 1.31 update.
Make sure you have dev unlocked and you flashed a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP both work fine)
After that, you need to make sure adb works (if you can't figure out how to do any of this, I will not help you. If you can't find out basic things about Android, then you shouldn't have s-off)
So, as we all know, HTC has made it so with newer bootloaders, you cannot downgrade to older firmwares. Well, this is true except when the software version changes but the hboot version doesn't. So all we need to do is this:
Boot into recovery
adb shell
echo "1.29.651.10" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 seek=160
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem lock
then just flash an RUU of 1.29 and it'll work out. All you do is flash the misc partition to contain the proper mainver and it works.

Flash an ruu.zip or can it be ruu.exe also? Should revone be done after the ruu?

So I didn't see this post but did something slightly different and it worked perfect.
Unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev
pushed TWRP for Sprint
Flashed SuperSu
Then followed the revone instructions particularly step 3 su (and going onto the device to grant access.) and everything worked perfect and never had to downgrade from 1.31.

THANK YOU!!!

Indirect... you saved many a phones. I have been searching for this and read many a post where people were scrambling (not necessarily for s-off, but the fact that they relocked the bootloader and could not run the 1.29 RUU. I encountered the same thing but just unlocked again and flashed my stock nandroid. Thanks!
If I run just...
Boot into recovery
adb shell
echo "1.29.651.10" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 seek=160
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem lock
then just flash an RUU of 1.29
Does that leave me with a stock build and s-on? In the event I had to part with the One, etc.
Yes.

Kind of related thing happened to me, what do I make of this?
I was S-OFF, but with the newest firmware and custom ROM, TWRP installed.
I did the fastboot oem lock, then RUU'ed back to OMJ's straight up stock Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip
Once that got booted up I went ahead and did the system update to 1.31.
NOW, when I go into bootloader it says "relocked" up top, but says S-OFF. S-OFF?!? Didn't I relock it and RUU?
Also, when I try to enter recovery, all I get is a phone with a red triangle above it.

When you RUU, it doesn't turn the security back on, hence the S-Off still. However, it does put the stock recovery back on, which is why it has the phone with the red triangle. If you want S-On, you can flash the Stock H-boot, or use Revone to make it say locked instead of relocked and say S-On (I believe it can do that, although I'm not entirely sure.) As for recovery, just re-flash twrp in fastboot.
Edit: "Fastboot OEM lock" doesn't mess with security at all. It just re-locks the bootloader.

Thanks. one more question on this topic. The recovery (or screen) with the red triangle will flag a problem with Sprint right? I assumed the RUU didn't flash the stock recovery when I saw this. I am trying to get around the screen with the red triangle. Will flashing a stock recovery replace this? If not can you provide guidance on doing so after the 1.29 RUU is flashed as described in the OP?

What? The red triangle means you booted into recovery but something went wrong, either there's no update to flash or something like that. Are you trying to now update to 1.31 after the 1.29 RUU?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
No, I went through the process defined in the OP to return to stock executing a 1.29 RUU. This seemed to work fine. I then received the OTA update to 1.31. After refusing the update several times I accepted it. I didn't go into recovery before accepting the OTA update (not sure that would matter but it would have identified the red triangle apart from the 1.31 uodate) Now when I boot to recovery I get the red triangle where I was expecting to see the stock boot menu.
so i ran the echo command and get seek 1seek64 failed am i in the clear to flash the ruu or what should i do kind of scared to move away from recovery
it worked xD thanks dude

I got OTA 4.2.2 on my ONE, which i bought used, was Relocked & Tempered. But now after Revone, I made it S-ON. During the flashing of OTA, the phone restarts itself once, and second time when the OTA is being flashed, it stops midway with a RED exclamation mark.
I am not getting what could be the problem here
Any suggestions....I did not flash any recovery or anything...
I recommend you to root the phone and update the firmware manually and apply a custom rom... Or make sure to follow the exact steps to go back to stock.
I'm pretty sure there are some missing files hence the update doesn't find the right checksum to proceed with the update.
Have you relocked the bootloader? Worth giving that a try if not
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
OTAs will usually fail if any system files are missing. If your phone was debloated at any point, even if it's s-on and relocked, that could be enough to stop the OTA from installing.
To flash an OTA, you typically have to be completely stock.
What do you suggest i should do... Right now doing revone method... I am S-on and bootloader is locked...... I want the official OTA... Amy kind suggestions plz

revone will not take you back to stock. You have to run a RUU for your carrier, or flash a fully stock rom if no RUU is available. For the latter, you need to be unlocked, but you can then relock and should be able to apply the OTA.
Edit: sorry, for the latter, you also have to flash the stock recovery in fastboot. You can find that in the firmware threads, though you'll need to pull recovery.img file out of the zip file.
Can some one help me find the correct RUU for me... I have posted the screen shot...

There's no RUU for your version.
The 1.28.401.7 is for the HTC One UL variant (or was it the U variant?). Anyway the 1.28.401.7 will have a different MID to yours so you can't use that RUU unless you change your MID.
EDIT:
I found the 1.29.401.16.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43316694&postcount=1157 and use this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40734501&postcount=1 to flash it so you should be back to stock.

The reason I wish to do this is that I want to install Google Play edition and of course the necessary info to install it.

If I'm not mistaken the ROM firmware is irrelevant as to if you can root or not, or get-S-OFF. The most important factor for S-OFF is the bootloader version. I haven't seen any threads about getting S-OFF on bootloader 1.54.
Reboot to your bootloader (turn device off, hold volume down and turn device on). Check your HBOOT version there. If it says 1.54, then the only possible solution is to search for an official HTC RUU with a lower HBOOT version. However I do not know if this will actually work.

Don't really know what you mean by reflash? Returning to the newer HBOOT (1.54)?
If that's the case, once you're S-OFF you can update the HBOOT to 1.54 and S-OFF will still be there. There are some threads in the development section about upgrading the HBOOT. I used these myself without issues.
As for the official RUU, this will probably be a Google search. I haven't seen a thread around with these files.
Keep in mind that flashing an original RUU will result in loss of root and custom recovery. You will need to re-root after flashing the RUU and reflash a custom recovery.

I was s-off with stock unrooted locked 2.24.401.1 firmware (ruu'ed by repair center)and tried to use revone to unlock again but it would fail, then I downgraded to hboot 1.44 (I could still do this because I was s-off already) but revone would still fail, then I decided to properly downgrade to 1.28(or was that 29).401.?? with an ruu and was able to use revone again to unlock my bootloader, so hboot is not the only factor for revone to be succesful...
downgrading hboot and other system partitions, except kernel rom radio and recovery, is not possible if you are not s-off already....

S-OFF is not needed for root or custom recovery. You do need an unlocked bootloader though. On other devices S-OFF was needed to flash radio's or kernels through recovery, but from what I have read the One can flash kernels in recovery without S-OFF

So I have gotten TWRP on there, however I have been unable to flash a previous firmware, to downgrade, getting the error message, Unable to open zip. My guess is that S-On is stopping this process even in a custom recovery. Is there a recommendation as to how I can achieve S-Off?

[Edit] Could I install a custom ROM, S-Off through the ROM, then follow the steps in the link to flash the RUU?
Hello there!!!.....Really need some help form you HTC experts.

Definitely get back s-off !!! It will have zero effect (now or in the future) about locked/unlocked, custom/stock rom, OTAs, etc. but it would allow you to flash unsigned firmware and/or downgrade, which is very important if you want to run a RUU.
If you flash a custom recovery, you can issue the revone ADB commands in the recovery screen.
EDIT: once you have s-off, you need to change your CID to SuperCID to run the RUU
just make sure you're using a Sprint version RUU or custom ROM, as Sprint is different from ATT, international, etc.

When I run the rumrunner program, I type 'Yes' twice then I get an error telling me to run rumrunner again and READ. What did I do wrong?
Recently I was working on returning my phone back to stock and I ended up using OMJ's encrypted 1.29.651.7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904). However, in order to flash an older ruu successfully I also had to trick the phone into believing that an older version was installed. I did it using dd through adb, but I can't find the thread with the info so I'll try to find that.
ok, so here's what I did:
first, I downloaded the encrypted 1.29.651.7 ruu
then, I used this trick to change the version recorded in the phone (I think I had to be root, but I don't remember) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821
I substituted 1.29.651.7 for the 1.29.651.10 shown in the link
then I relocked the bootloader and flashed the ruu according to the return to stock instructions.
Hopefully this helps you work it out, I'm not sure how much this will help you but it worked for me.

I did it using dd through adb, but I can't find the thread with the info so I'll try to find that.
ok, so here's what I did:
first, I downloaded the encrypted 1.29.651.7 ruu
then, I used this trick to change the version recorded in the phone (I think I had to be root, but I don't remember) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821
I substituted 1.29.651.7 for the 1.29.651.10 shown in the link
then I relocked the bootloader and flashed the ruu according to the return to stock instructions.
Hopefully this helps you work it out, I'm not sure how much this will help you but it worked for me.

This didn't do it either. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
I don't know if you can flash OMJ's firmware if your bootloader is set to "Relocked". I could be wrong but I think what you need to do is unlock it again first and install a recovery. Then flash OMJ's stock firmware from recovery. From there you can probably do the S-OFF process and RUU back to stock.
You do need to be able to boot into your ROM for S-OFF to work, as you start the S-OFF process while the phone is booted up and running.

Hi,
i can't get to stock with the two RUU methods.
The RUU.exe file doesnt starts on both Windows 7 (64-Bit) PCs. I rightclick the exe file (4.19.401.9) and wanna start it with admin privileges. But an error is appearing.
When i want to install the ruu.zip (2.19.401.1) than it says: too many links.
I have s-off (firewater), unlocked bootloader, custom-rom (CM) and custom recovery (twrp).
I ve read that i have to lock my bootloader before i have to flash ruu.exe
But there are two ways for locking my bootloader:
fastboot oem lock
or
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)
adb reboot bootloader
Which one of both should i do? But when my exe file doesnt starts i think i dont have to do it and i just should try the zip method. What are the requirements for ruu.zip? Oh, and is it important that the ruuzip file should have the original name? i renamed it to ruu.zip
Here are my links which i have used:

*EDIT*
Maybe you should know what i want to do. I just want an device without Tampered.
I got the same error because my anti virus aborted the download so I downloaded only the half ruu.exe :/

If all you want to do is remove tampered there are a million different guides. You don't need to run a ruu. Google it

i have to add something: i just want my htc one like the day i unpacked it. stock rom, locked and no tampered because i want my device itself to update OTAs. I dont want to do it manually anymore. I just want full HTC One stock.
And have no antivirus software on my PCs. Dont need it. The problem sits in front of the PC in the most cases i think. But i try to check the hash sum first.
*EDIT*
I have installed the latest stock ROM from here now just as a compromise solution until i can go 100% stock.
If you can't get a ruu to install. If you flash the stock recovery if you can find it for the version you are on you can accept otas

I have the stock recovery too. When I flash it, I can flash ruu.zip too?

if you're ok with adb commands use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
or this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194
I recommend running the adb commands in a custom recovery (because you'll automatically have superuser privileges)
and, obviously this is only possible with S-OFF, and I highly recommend you never go back to S-ON!!
if you do need to go back to 100% stock, you can also take a look at my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
(recommend you skip S-On)
if you have questions, post them in my thread along with a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)
when trying to run ruu.exe on mine I had to downgrade my hboot (from 1.56 to 1.44) first for it to run. Once I'd downgraded the RUU ran straight away

Thank you!
I have no stock ROM with locked bootloader, no tampered and s-on.
Now I feel "clean".
Thread can be closed!
PS: The best part is to update from my Android v4.1.2 with OTAs to Android v4.4.2! I like updating things!
