Hey, i have a little problem, my phone is vodafone branded (germany) and i want to root it. Hboot is on 1.54, so i have to downgrade it, but there isn't one RUU for my vodaphone branded htc one. (CID is vodap102, Versionnumber 161 or something like that)
How can i downgrade my phone? Using HTCUnlock could work but i read that you can't undo the bootloader lock (it will say "relocked"). and i wanted to keep my warranty. Any ideas?

do you already have s-off? you would need s-off to be able to downgrade your hboot. but with 1.54 you can't achieve s-off. so there's no chance for you to flash an older RUU than 1.54 if you're not already s-off, and we don't have any 1.54 RUU's yet.
if you decide to unlock via htc, here's a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618

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.
Hi, so I got my HTCOne black edition and it had 4.2.2 Sense and I just saw that it has hboot 1.54 and s-on
I want to root but I want to be able to lock my bootloader (make it say locked and not relocked) incase I get into warranty problems...
So I came across this: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...one-into-htc-one-with-sense-no-bloat-0148220/
He shows how to get Sense on Google Edition but on Step two he says that you need to downgrade 1.54 to 1.44 for this to be able to work
He changes the cid to make the bootloader think he can downgrade it (he says)
So can I do the same thing by
1. Unlocking my bootloader, root and then downgrade the hboot?
2. Unlock bootloader, root and turn my phone into google edition --> Downgrade to 1.44 ---> Reinstall Sense RUU or Rom or whatever to get it back?
3. Any other way?
I searched a bit but could not find anything about this so I hope we can keep a nice discussion here for people like me who are stuck on 1.54 with s-on (thanks htc for sending me a new HTCOne, except that it is s-on and on 1.54 and on 4.2.2 :/ )
Thanks in advance

Changing CID (to allow RUUs that are not for your phone) is not possible with S-ON. So that guide requires S-OFF.... S-ON + hboot 1.54 = No S-OFF untill exploit is revealed. Sorry.

For #1, using your instructions, the CID will not change. it seems that i need to set S-Off....

Won't work, you already have to be S-Off to downgrade hboot, the tutorial should have stated that at the beginning. Sorry

But... How did he get s-off with a Google Edition phone when he had 1.54? Mu thoughts are that Google Edition has s-off... So maybe if we root and turn our phone to a google edition phone and then do what he does...then put it back on sense?
I want to root so badly lol xd
GPe are s-on. He probably had an s-off device converted to GPe.

Well that sucks if its true :/
Do you think I should root anyway?
As of now I dont have any problems with my phone and by the time it takes for it to break, if it even breaks or defects or something, maybe someone has made some tool or have hacked 1.54... It cant take more than 1 year right?
They're looking for an exploit for hboot 1.55 not 1.54. And it may never come. No one knows till someone finds it. There's always the java card option though.

Hi all,
I have a Vodafone branded HTC One from Germany, all stock, and i have just gained s-off and change cid to super cid. My questions is; which stock RUU should i use for debranding (im from Denmark)? Is it okay to install the older firmware 1.28.401.7 when i now have 2.24.161.1, and are there some consequences of doing that? Im thinking about to get acces to the bootloader and change my cid back afterwards.
And final question, should i lock the bootloader before flashing?
Thanks.
Regards.
Greetings to all,
I have htc one m7_ul, hboot 1.54 s-on, mid PN07100, cid VODAP102

Thanks in advance

Brief description: Well if you completely want to modify your phone, you'll need to use rumrunner to get S-Off (that includes unlocking the phone, and other prerequisites for rumrunner)
Once you're S-Off you can change your CID to something more universal such as HTC__001 and use a full RUU (exe) to downgrade to complete WWE stock, and start receiving OTAs to the latest available (depending on which CID and RUU you end up using).
Thanks for your respond

Once you have s-off, you can remove TAMPERED using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
and you can even LOCK (as opposed to RELOCKED) using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
and once you run the official RUU (exe) even the red text "this is a development device bla bla bla" should go away.
