[Q] UK OTA after changing CID to HTC__Y13 to receive early update.

I'm in the UK & have a sim free HTC One.
So I changed my CID to HTC__Y13 to enable me to get the 4.2.2 OTA early then changed it back to HTC__001 & sadly used Revone to S-ON again. I have no English (United Kingdom) setting in the system language, probably because the update wasn't meant for a uk phone, so my thought was to go back to the 1.28.401.7 RUU then update properly now the UK OTA is out. Obviously I can't do this because I have a 1.54 hboot & can't S-OFF again to flash the RUU.
What method can I use to be able to downgrade the hboot to 1.44, S-OFF & flash the 1.28 RUU? Can I unlock bootloader via HTCDev, flash a custom rom with a 1.44 hboot then go back to stock, lock bootloader, S-OFF then flash to RUU? I don't want to try this & wipe my phone if it won't work.
Anyone else figured a way to do it?
Cheers
Tim

From my understanding, there is no way of altering H-boot without S-off. I'm sure someone will cracking 1.55 in the future.

This is correct.

The update WAS for your phone, if a phone is x.xx.401.x in the UK and x.xx.401.x in the Netherlands they get the same OTA

Can you still change your CID? I read someone who lost S-Off but was still able to change to superCID (11111111)

If you aren't afraid to experiment.
That is simple for information, when my phone had leaked 2.17.401.1 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
and
firmware from 2.17.401.1 RUU
from here (second post)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
My phone had HBOOT 1.54 and I without problems received S-OFF using alternate revone binary v0.2.1-wlj.
So , you can try this way
1) Unlock booloader
2) Flash latest custom recovery (I had TWRP)
3) Make nandroid backup your system
4) Flash 2.17.401.1 ROM
5) Try to get S-OFF using revone v0.2.1-wlj
I DO NOT guarantee success! If you do it, it is your risk!

[Q] How to Debrand HTC One

I have a HTC One on the EE network in the UK and I am still currently on Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5, they haven't bothered to release Android 4.4 yet and I have no hope that they will release Sense 6.
So, I would like to know how to go about changing my EE branded phone into an Unlocked International Version so that I can receive OTA updates direct from HTC.
Current CID: ORANG001
Current Hboot: 1.55
Current Software Number: 3.63.61.1
Radio: 4A.21.3263.04
Locked Bootloader with S-On
I would very much appreciate any help you can give.
Thank-You

first of all you need to unlock your bootloader and s-off your phone, debrand is not possible with s=on
the you would need to change your cid to something like HTC__001 or developer edition cid, one fastboot command required to do this.
and then run the correct RUU for those cid's and your done.
its quite easy to do, the hardest part is getting s-off, however you may be ok on 1.55 hboot, try rumrunner, read the instructions and download the required file here: http://rumrunner.us/

Do I need custom recovery? If so which is best.
And do I need to have a custom ROM installed to gain s-off or can s-off be achieved on my current EE branded ROM?

nope its not required for either, you should be able to s-off on stock rom, if you get an error or for some reason it fails, then you MAY have to flash a custom recovery and custom rom / kernel.
The RUU's will put you back to fully stock anyway in the end.

If the s-off does cause an error or it fails, can this cause my device to get bricked?
And by fully stock do you mean that the RUU turns s-on and locks my boot loader? (just in case I need to send my phone in for repair).

no your phone wont brick
and no the ruu wont turn your phone s-on, you will need to lock your bootloader before running the RUU, but that's one simple command too, but only after s-off.
all you need right now is to make sure you have the drivers installed and that your device is detected in windows both when booted into a rom and on the bootloader screen.

not really something they will check to be honest, but if you s-on and you've played about with your phone down the line, like flashed a modified firmware or hboot, you will get an instant brick, if your hboot version is too high you will get the tampered flag back, or if you make a mistake along the way and the fix requires s-off, it will be very difficult to get again.

So, is the following step by step list correct.
1. Unlock boot loader
2. Get s-off via rumrunner
3. Change CID
4. Lock boot loader
5. Run RUU
And, I am currently on 4.3 and Sense 5.5, so can I go straight to the sense 6 and Android 4.4 RUU, or do I have to install the sense 5.5 and Android 4.4 RUU first.

You only have to be s-off and unlocked if the ruu doesn't match the your phone info, you can't install ota manually if your s-on, so which ruu are you trying to use ? And what does your version main / os version number say at the moment.

Yup, I figured you were trying to use that ruu, look at the 3rd set of numbers, yours is 599 and that ruu is 1540, it won't work, you would need s-off, change cid, change mid, flash firmware and then run the ruu, you will have to do that or wait to get the update for your device.
S-off for your phone will cost $25 through sunshine s-off tool and is the only way to s-off your 6xxxxxxxx firmware which you are currently on.

[Q] Need help figuring out how to update

I have an ATT M7. I am on T-Mobile. The phone is now unlocked. It is still running Android 4.3.
ATT software update doesn't find any updates - presumably because I need an ATT sim in there.
So how can I upgrade this to 4.4 and later 5.0?
Thanks!

thats why I asked for your fastboot getvar all, unlock your bootloader and use rumrunner to s-off, do not take any updates until you get s-off as it gets harder the higher HBOOT you have.

well from there you can either follow clsA link and change to developer edition, which will require changing cid, mid and flash the RUU, dev edition gets the quickest updates, although its very touch and go at the moment as to whether the M7 is going to get anymore updates, or you can do the same with the latest T-mo RUU which is here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-t-mobile/news/ that will also require you to change your cid and mid, after doing that follow the manual instructions on the HTC site, download link for the RUU is at the bottom.

no you dont need to lock as your s-off, unlocked is fine.
locked / relocked for flashing firmware or RUU's is only required for s-on users and limited to 1 step forward or current only.

So now the ruu times out on sending.......
So I extracted the rom.zip. If I flash it from twrp since it has a recovery image in it, will it overwrite twrp?
I'm assuming yes and then I would have to fast boot twrp back again.
Is this correct? Thanks

Is your phone on the at&t network? If not you willl not receive ota updates and flashing ota update manually requires S-OFF. Try rumrunner S-OFF. Once S-OFF change your CID so you can flash the Dev edition RUU and receive ota updates normally.

My phone is AT&T but I can't update because I am not using the same carrier. Rumrunner will not work because my hboot 1.44.000 even revone didn't work. So please help me to make s-off

Then update your hboot to 1.54/.1.55 using a RUU
this one for example: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
Once the RUU is flashed (and hboot updated) unlock the bootloader, flash twrp recovery, root the phone and achieve s-off using rumrunner
Or you can buy sunshine s-off for 25 if you want to make it simple.

I tried with RUU flashs but also not working
