[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] going to stock fail... need 2.24.401.1 nandroid

I got myself in a bit of a dead zone here.
I have my HTC one. Its HTC__001 WWE Europe. It OTA upgraded to 2.24.401.1.
When I saw that you can convert to a GPE I really wanted to check it out specially after users reported success in getting OTA updates. But I quickly realized I needed S-Off and thats not available yet.
I decided to at least take it to a test drive with ARHD GPE 3.0. I downloaded the latest RUU for my device (1.28.401.7) thinking I would need that to get back to stock. I went and unlocked the bootloader at HTC dev. Flashed CWM recovery and flashed ARHD GPE 3.0. Played around with it for a bit and now when I needed to go back to stock.
RUU.exe file got stuck at updating signature then returned 155 unknown. I realized maybe its attempting to downgrade the bootloader so i looked around for a 2.24.401.1 RUU but its not available yet.
I looked at Nandroid backups and found 1.28.401.7 HTC__001 but its UK unbranded. When I restored this version it loaded up but my touch screen didnt work at all. I flashed back ARHD to get touch capability back.
So my question is... Any chance anyone can nandroid backup the stock 2.24.401.1 i need? How can I go to stock now? Am I stuck with custom roms untill atleast s-off or HTC decides 2.24.401.1 RUU should be made available?
Thanks!

Are you s off?? Downgrade your hboot to 1.44 and then flash the ruu for your device....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752 ... Flash ROM, install stock recovery, relock bootloader, done. The official firmware will be about soon no doubt so you will be able to fastboot it and have the newest base, stock and all before HTC release it in whatever region.
Obviously you'll need S-Off for Hboot 1.54 if/when it happens in order to remove the tampered flag and change relocked back to locked but what I mentioned above is the closest you'll get without being able to run an RUU.

You cant s-off on hboot 154 yet. Unless I am mistaken.
Like op says we need a nandroid of firmware think that's only way until ruu is releasee ; (

2 things:
1) I'll quote what I said, I never said S-Off was available .. "Obviously you'll need S-Off for Hboot 1.54 if/when it happens"
2) What I said above for going to stock is a way of doing it, a Nandroid is not the only way.

I actually did this and Im running it right now without problems...
But Im not sure id be getting OTAs as the bootloader main ver still says 2.24.401.1 and not 2.24.401.8. I dont think Mike made a 2.24.401.1 available.
Its a bit disappointing. Im fine with having my bootloader tampered and relocked and s-on as long as I got stock running like it should be. i dont understand why HTC gives you the option to unlock ur bootloader to play around with custom firmware but not allow you to go back to stock. im guessing the RUU is on the way but I have my doubts... Just like s-off.

Nah, the stock firmware for 2.24.401.8 is not available yet, only a customised one which would require S-Off anyway. The method I mentioned is the only way at the moment to get as close to stock as possible without being able to go S-Off and flash an older RUU. When Mike gets hold of the stock firmware to post, I'm sure he will ... I can't see any 2.24 RUU's being available seeing that HTC are pushing for a 4.3 release by the end of September, so I'd wait anyways, unless you need to return your device for warranty purposes of course.
As for you getting OTA updates ... I haven't installed the .8 ROM but it shouldn't affect it as the base you are on is still an older base than what you'd be trying to update to but I'm not 100% on that as I haven't flashed it as my device is away for repair lol. I would imagine that the 2.24.401.8 firmware would be about soon enough and then you would be able to revert to stock with the newest base but obviously as you said yourself, without S-Off you wouldn't be able to wipe any trace of you flashing and modding.
I think HTC only allow you to unlock your bootloader because they can void so many warranties that way and bill for repairs lol ... Maybe I'm being cynical but I do agree that they could provide a stock RUU for people to return to stock, without all the hassle of S-Off or waiting months before any suitable RUU is available but sometimes you have to just suck it up and live with what we have lol

[Q] GPe reversal / Software Question

Hi guys,
i currently have a UK Vodafone HTC One MID PN071000 fully converted to GPe, unlocked and S-OFF through Revone. I'm looking to go back to stock as per the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43460011&postcount=2
I can't find a Vodafone UK RUU but can find a European 1.28.401.7 version. In the above thread he states that if you can't find your carrier RUU to flash a 1.29 ROM.
So, if I flash the 1.44 HBOOT and then run the 1.28.401.7 RUU, will this bring me back to stock (sense) or do I need to find a 1.29 ROM?
I know these have been done to death a bit but I didn't want to annoy the OP of the above thread by adding yet more pages to it.
Thanks in advance for any help on this

I'd flash the 1.28.401.7 RUU to get back to 4.1.2 and then restore a Vodafone stock Nandroid backup (or your own one you made before doing anything )
Then change the CID back to VODAP001 if needed, change the MID back to the EU handset and flash the stock recovery again and you should be good to go...depending on the Nandroid you can find perhaps do they OTA updates with the stock ROM until you get to a comparable version you can restore a nandroid with (if that makes sense)

Cheers Eddy,
unfortunately I was a plonker and never backed up but i'm fine with it being on the standard EU software rather than Vodafone's own.. just want sense back. Main reason for asking was unsure if there was a different hboot for software prior to 1.29.
thanks again

Just stay S-Off !!
Don't go back to S-On EVER otherwise you won't be able to use RUUs etc.

No plan to go s-on, just want sense back

[Q] return to stock after rum runner

I am TMOB101 (the german t-mobile) i have successfully s-offed using rum runner.
There is no RUU for my phone as far as i know..
Is there a way to s-on again?
does rum runner backup my original hboot, so i can restore it to go back s-on?

You can flash the GuruReset ROM for your version: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-111-3-zip/
Make sure you choose to flash stock recovery and boot etc.
When all back to fully stock you are then safe to s-on again by issuing the following command: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Hope that comes in useful

Why do you need to s-on? And with s-off you can flash any RUU that you want. To s-on again, the command is "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3", but you need to be COMPLETELY stock before you do this, or you'll have a hard brick.

thank you for your answers.. I want to s-on to send back for warranty issues (purple tint).
I just want to understand how it works..
Rum runner installed an unsecured hboot. correct?
in order to s-off i need to go back to stock hboot first? people install RUU so they can install 1)stock rom, 2)stock radio, 3) stock recovery 4)stock hboot correct?
the Guru Reset rom just installs rom, recovery and radio (no hboot?)
can i just install any RUU and s-on? i thought i needed the one matching my phone

ok i found this http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/ and answered most of my questions.. except one:
As i said there is no RUU for me.. i will use a nandroid to restore most of the stuff. BUT there will be a mismatch between my stock Rom installed and the firmware (what is written in bootloader screen OS:XXXXXXX) How can i fix that?
can i just install the TMOB101 firmware from here http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.gr/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html and fix the mismatch?

Once you flash the guru reset, and then perform the OTA, you'll be on the same firmware after install.

Yeah but that will be different than the one my cid is supposed to have.. won't HTC service notice?

Install Stock Rom - HBOOT Downgrade

Hi All
I recently S-OFFed my Australian carrier branded HTC One and have changed the CID to HTC__039 which is the CID for the unbranded Australian version
What i want to know is before i flash (M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__039 / 2.24.980.2 (Australia Unbranded – Thanks to deeevan)) found on HTC1Guru's thread of Stock OTA, RUU and ZIP files
How do i know if i need to downgrade my HBOOT in order to install this backup using CWM? My HBOOT is currently 1.57

you should always flash the firmware to match the nandroid when possible

just find the 2.x.980.x firmware regardless of your current hboot
Hboot 1.57 = Firmware 6.x - 5.x - 4.x
Hboot 1.56 = Firmware 4.x - 3.x
Hboot 1.54 = Firmware 2.x
Hboot 1.43 - 1.44 = Firmware 1.x
Those are general recommendations not etched in stone
