Okay - time to swallow my man pride and ask for directions...
My current software version is 1.28.61.7 and CID was Orang001 - realising that EE were not going to be releasing the 4.2.2 update anytime soon, I decided to try and follow the advice of you bright chaps...
Following the steps in the:
[Official Chat] thread (past 2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42086559&postcount=2; and
Revone guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582,
I have been able to:
Unlock my device (and turn tamper off);
obtain S-OFF;
Change my CID to HTC__001 (and change it to the SuperCID: 11111111 if required),
All going well so far - now the next step was to run RUU 1.28.401.7 and wait for the OTA - unfortunately this is where I am stuck...
I downloaded the RUU from the following site: http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=M7 (as the buggsylawson site appears to be down) and ran it. The RUU seemed to have installed without a hitch - no errors at all, however when I check my software number it is still 1.28.61.7.
Having spent a few hours reading these forums, I finally admit defeat - please help - what should I do next? What is the best way to update, remaining stock and OTA to 4.2.2?
In case it helps, my current kernel version is:
3.4.10 -gddcfb8c

Thank you in advance!

That's not the point.
To the OP: Change the CID to 11111111 and try to flash the RUU again (if you haven't already). Knowing the kernel is pointless too, the important information is the software build, e.g. 1.28.401.7

Thanks for the response, trying this again now - I'll let you know the result.

Just finished running the RUU with CID 11111111 - still stuck on 1.28.61.7.
Really quite stumped...
It's pretty much impossible so not sure what's going on!
Clutching at straws here...
Any chance that I don't have the right RUU and it is only updating certain elements?
The RUU downloaded is: RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
991 MB from http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=M7
If so, where can I get the correct RUU or another for testing?
Thanks
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!
Hi all, just wondering if someone with some knowledge can help assist me debranding my HTC One. I came from Samsung devices, and knew the ins and outs of rooting, flashing roms etc, but HTC devices seems so over complicated after reading through various forums.
All I want to do is debrand my Vodafone HTC One, and install the international uk firmware, and be able to receive ota updates in future.
I have been reading about changing Ruu, changing CID, and im just baffled by everything, although slowly starting to gain some knowledge.
Please I would appreciate if someone could give me the correct procedure to do this, do I need to unlock the bootloader before doing it? Already registered on HTCDEV website, just havnt unlocked bootloader yet.
I have spent hours reading info, and my head is practically going round in circles lol.
What do you mean by debranding? Do you mean putting a custom Rom on it?
Edit: I missed a section of what you said. I believe you have to unlock the bootloader, turn security off, and get Super CID.

I believe so, but you must have the international stock recovery on too for the OTA updates to work.

All the following is dependant on having an hboot of less than 1.54. If you are already on hboot 1.54, you will not yet be able to s-off and follow this process until an exploit is found for the 1.54 hboot. To check this, turn off your device and restart it whilst holding the volume down button. The information will be displayed.
1 Get S-Off http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
2 Install super cid : fastboot oem writecid 11111111
3 Run RUU 1.28.401.7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874
4 Change cid to generic : fastboot oem writecid HTC__001

Run revone, unlocked bootloader and s-off
change CID to HTC__001 or 11111111
run RUU for international M7 i would start with PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.16_R_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_318486_signed_2_4
once this is on the phone you should get all the OTA releases bringing you up to date.

Thanks for that info mate. I just checked and im on hboot 1.54, which means I wont be able to do this at the moment. Was that RUU you state an exe file? I guess I don't have to root or install any custom recovery to do this? First I need to wait on an exploit for sboot 1.54 to get s-off. Also it might be easier for me going down the custom rom route?

Until s-off is achieved for hboot 1.54, your only choice is custom roms. This should be fine as you are already updated to the latest firmware through Vodafone.

Ok cheers. I thought that I needed to be S-Off before I could install any custom rom, but I could root and install custom recovery with s-on?

Ok, now here goes lol. My understanding so far is that in order to install any stock ruu I must first get s-off. As im running stock Vodafone firmware, the CID must match this firmware. If I get s-off, I will be able to install any CID and stock rom, as long as they match one another. and as im on hboot 1.54 just now, supercid wont work yet, so s-off is a no no at the moment. I can still root and install a custom firmware though.
I received my HTC One almost two weeks ago, I bought it as US unlocked from Amazon but turns out to be unlocked but not the US version. I have had Galaxy Nexus and never had HTC device before. Now, I want to convert to the developer edition, I understand I need to unlock the bootloader, S-OFF, change CID and MID, and then finally install the developer Edition RUU. How to do that? Things on Nexus were different. Is there a simple guide on how to do so? Thanks in advance!
Unlocking bootloader + custom recovey + root tutotials are easy to find in this forum. Official xda video guides at the root of htc one forum.
For s-off search for "revone" if your hboot is 1.44. Search for "rumrunner" for hboot 1.54 and up.
To change cid: "fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx" where you replace x by correct cid.

if it's not too much trouble, could you stick with one thread, your quadruple threading is neither helping you or the forum.
you change you mid same as cid (but use mid):
fastboot oem writemid PN0710000 <- whatever u want it to be
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Hello,
I have looked on xda for an answer before i started this thread but couln't really find the answer or solution i'm personally looking for.. The problem is a friend of mine is S-On with an ex-contract HTC One (M7) CID is something like VODA..... and his HBoot is 1.57.0000 - I'm trying to S-Off his phone so he can get rid of the Vodafone and Flash Firmware and European RUU (This is i can do) but i need to S-Off it 1st ... I installed TWRP so as to root his phone and unlocked the bootloader (HTCDev unlock token) BUT now the problem is, he's just had the Lollipop 5.02 OTA update and of course, cannot instal it with TWRP present :/ i was told just to flash Stock recovery over it? is this correct? and if so, how would i go about it please and how would i get S-Off on his mobile please? I'm lead to believe that Sunshine S-Off is the only option with that HBoot version.. ?
Many thanks in advance to xda and its members :good:

better to achieve s-off now before taking the ota update or you will need to wait for the new release of sunshine (3.0).
Yes sunshine is the only way to achieve s-off on hboot 1.57.
Achieve s-off
change cid to HTC__001
change mid (if required) to PN0710000
flash the latest ruu 7.19.401.2

Thank you - Yes, the CID i was going to change to HTC___001 and the RUU i have is: RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1
Firmware:
fw_4.19.401.9_custom.zip
So would i just look for a European RUU with that No. (7.19.401.2)?
and is that Firmware ok please?
I really aappreciate the help here.
And Sunshine S-Off it is
is this any good please? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934533542
I meant to add - i can flash the Firmware with S-On can't i? as it's custom.. do i need to be rooted for that? and once firmware has been flashed i will need to Sunshine S-Off or Sunshine 1st then the rest? can i instal that RUU on S-On? If so i will just go ahead (without updating to 5.02) ..would this be ok? I think i need S-Off to chaange CID though dont i? so Sunshie 1st it would be?

No you don't understand, you must use the fastboot version posted at page 4 or it will not work. Read the post you'll understand. The regular fastboot from the Android sdk won't work for this RUU.
I see now ..i got the HTC_Fastboot.exe ...is this correct? also, i'm downloading the European.RUU now .. will this come with the Firmware.zip or will i need to search and flash that 1st please? i'm sorry if i'm confusing the issue but i'm really quite new at this and don't totally understand.. also, would the CID still be HTC___001 and can i change that with s-on? 'fastboot oem writecid'
I need to change CID 1st dont i? then Firmware then RUU? then finally S-Off with sunshine before the 5.02 update
ok i've got fw_7.19.401.2-NoRed_NoWipe Firmware and will read up on how to use the htc_fastboot.exe

The European RUU is HTC___001. If your phone is s on you cannot change your CID. You need s off to do that

do not flash that firmware whilst s-on, its modified firmware and will brick your phone, you need s-off to change your CID or falsh any different firmware than vodafone firmware.
I discovered that last night i kinda knew anyway that i could not change the CID without S-Off but with everything going on i forgot.. iv'e decided to stick Android Revolution HD 91.1 on his HTC One.. at least he'l have 5.02 and a quick & reliable OS ... iv'e head that 5.02 is the last OTA update for the M7 so it wouldn't matter if he can't update ..cheers for your help anyway
