So I'm trying to flash a new RUU for GPE HTC One Jelly Bean 4.3. The RUU is suppose to work for unlocked devices; the person who posted the download links had two, with one for unlocked devices and the other for locked devices. I think I messed up somewhere because I had a custom kernel installed via .zip, then booted back to the stock GPE kernel with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"; the system booted up fine but the 3 dot menu was missing so I went back to the customer kernel. The system wouldn't get past the Google screen and now I'm trying to flash the RUU but it won't work. If I do it on my computer via commands, I get "<bootloader> zip info parsing," then "FAILED <remote: 99 unknown fail>". So now I'm in TWRP recovery with the RUU on my SD card; tried flashing it on my phone and it says "Updating partition details...", "E: unable to mount ' /data'", "E: unable to mount internal storage", E: unable to mount ' /data," then lastly "Error flashing zip." I wiped the cache, data, and system; it won't wipe the Dalvik cache and gives me the same error when I do it. Can someone help me?
Edit: When I also try to wipe via "fastboot -w" it comes up with an error saying "FAILED <remote: not allowed>.
You need S-off to ruu to another firmware that's not made for your particular model/carrier.
Once you s-off enter fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
(Firmware.zip being the actually name of the ruu zip)
It will begin to flash, then fail and say to flush image immediately. Simply press the "up" arrow on keyboard to repeat the exact same command. It will work the second time.
For some reason fastbooting a ruu in that mode always fails the first time, so you have to do it twice without exiting.
Good luck and enjoy

I think the GPE RUU supports MID: PN0713000 and CID: T-MOB010. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
Edit: Oh, never mind; it says S-Off needed...
Any advice on what to do now since my HBoot is 1.54? The HBoot for the latest T-Mobile Sense 5 RUU is 1.44... I'm stuck now...
May be the alcohol but I'm having trouble keeping up lol. You're having questions with the hboot trying to s-off? If you can't s-off, nor ruu BC the firmware doesn't match with the most recent ruu then you may be stuck or hopefully someone with more advanced knowledge can help you a little better

For some reason Google firmware will flash on certain s-on phones when it shouldn't. First we need to know if this happened.
When booted into the boot loader, is the screen black or white?
Now if there's an RUU available for your cid and mid (an official ruu.exe not an unsigned zip) that is greater than the firmware version currently on the phone, flashing that will fix everything.
If not, head over to original android development and grab a GPE ROM ( you could also use sense or AOSP, but I'm assuming you want GPe) and attempt to flash the ROM in recovery just like you normally would.

So basically I accidentally put security back on BEFORE flashing back to stock so now I'm stuck here. The bootloader screen is black and since I upgraded to HBoot 1.54 via OTA update for stock Jelly Bean when I was S-Off, there is no compatible HBoot for me since the one for T-Mobile is 1.44 currently. My biggest worries right now is that I screwed something up with the partitions or if there's a bigger issue here because it's saying it can't mount the data and SD card, and I can't even wipe the phone via commands. If it's just the CID, MID, and HBoot not matching, then I'm not worried since I can still flash a custom ROM right?

This is why going back to s-on is almost always a bad idea. You can't flash any unsigned RUUs or firmware packages now, so you can't return your phone to stock.
It sounds like you may have corrupted your sdcard during all this. Try reformatting it from your PC. This will wipe all your data, but if it's corrupted, it's gone anyway. Then you can push a new rom and kernel and flash.

So even if T-Mobile releases an RUU with HBoot 1.54, I can't go back to stock? And how do I reformat it on my PC? CMD? And can you recommend me a ROM that's closest to stock Sense 5? And do I flash the ROM first or the kernel? Sorry about all the questions; I'm just freaking out right now.

You still have an unlocked bootloader right?
Then I would just flash a custom recovery and "format sdcard" from there.
Then "adb push Rom.zip /sdcard/" (or sideload) and flash the Rom.
I personally use ARHD 13.x which is very close to stock Sense 5.
ROMs already include a kernel, so no need to flash separately.

Yes, I have an unlocked bootloader but TWRP doesn't seem to have a "format SD card" option.
Edit: And do you know if it's still possible to use the T-Mobile RUU when they come out with Jelly Bean 4.3 update with HBoot 1.54? Or am I just stuck with custom ROMS now?

Personal preference. Why don't you try both. 13.x is based on official 4.2.2 and 21.x is based on leaked 4.3 (but still very good)
Just note on 21.0 you have to enter APN settings manually to get mobile data & mms, and there's a bug which won't let you access SIM card contacts.

Well is 13.x compatible with HBoot 1.54? And I have Google's bootloader and when I boot up the phone it has a Google logo on it; will it be able to install and get rid of the Google logo and bootloader? Thanks for the help by the way; I finally got past the corrupt files.

You can't use unsigned RUUs. If T-Mo releases a RUU with 1.54 or later hboot, then yes, you should be able to use it (unless you changed your MID or CID).

Yes it is, but you're stuck with the Google bootloader for now, until there is an s-off exploit for 1.54 or T-Mo releases that RUU.

It is compatible with 1.54, but I've never tried GPe, so I can't answer that. Don't know if it is firmware, ROM related, or if GPe hboot is different.

Well it's a good thing I changed my CID back to T-MOB010 before I put security back on then... I had SuperCID so not like it would've mattered... But thanks for the good news! And the GPE ARHD is compatible because it's Jelly Bean 4.3, but would flashing the ARHD 13.x ROM change the bootloader and start-up screen to HTC instead of Google?

No. No rom will change your bootloader or splash screen. You need s-off to do that.

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!

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.

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"

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

Since you are s-on, you need to find the correct RUU to flash. You can't flash a RUU with an older firmware and your CID and MID must match.
fastboot getvar all <- find your CID and MID from this and ensure that the RUU you're trying to flash is compatible and with an equal or higher hboot.
It's possible that your carrier may not yet have released such a RUU, in that case your best chance is to try to find a nandroid and restore that. These are if you want to get back to stock.
Otherwise, just flash 13.4 and enjoy.

ROMs with older versions of Aroma had this issue. Are you trying 13.4? Try again but without touching the screen, use the volume up/down and power to select.
Get into bootloader and try fastboot erase cache command then try to flash. If the screen comes on you haven't bricked it. Try flashing a new recovery of that doesn't work.

I have the exact same problem. I can get into the stock recovery but my device is not recognized in fastboot or adb
I got the same error when attempting to sideload 4.4 on my phone which I had previously converted to 4.3 GPE (rooted) using the instructions in the developer's forum. Guess it's time to do a full reflash.
I guess doing a full reflash is not gonna fix it. I would suggest flashing the stock recovery again and give it another shot.

It does actually work, just seems very sensitive to OS, USB ports, drivers, (possibly even locale), etc.
Recommend you use a plain vanilla Win7 PC with USB2 port.

I had this exact problem trying to go back from 5.11.401.10. When i extracted the rom.zip, fastboot came back with remote: 02 data length is too large.
I had already unlocked with HTCDev, flashed TWRP and s-off. i just wanted a stock ruu to go back to sense 5.5. In the end, i found TeHashX has created a twrp flash here: Link I flashed that without root, with radio and recovery and I'm back to stock. You'll probably need to be s-off for this but I'm not sure. I kept s-off and the unlocked bootloader.
Ps. You can remove the tampered with a rooted rom in the process.

I have also been unable to use any of the 4.xx RUU... They worked once but none of them work now. Anyway I just wanted to say I also created a Guru Reset for the 5.21.502.2 (AT&T) here >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274 to go along with the files posted by @TeHashX
The only thing i can think of was the hboot prevents it now but i wasnt going to play with that. I personally went to 4.xx to get away from sense 6
Is there any other maybe older stock ROM i can try ?
I tried 1.29.401.x and that failed too. There was a note with the download saying you need to flash hboot 1.44 which i didn't bother with.
I have a rooted htc one m8 hk edition with S-On, I would like to install the new update that sprint rolled out so I was thinking about using the RUU from another thread here. My question is, since I have the HK edition can i install the RUU without S-Off? I noticed that SuperCID was required for the non hk version only and was not required for my version. Is this correct? Also will the RUU return me to 100% stock? I couldn't post this in the RUU thread itself due to being new to xda, sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks!

You can use the RUU with S-ON as long as it is not an older version than what is already on your phone - I believe you are probably talking about 1.54.654.9 right? Check the about settings on your phone to see if you have upgraded from that (1.54.654.13 or 1.54.654.15 or the 2.16 something).
If the phone version is newer, you will not be able to use the RUU without S-OFF. Since you actually have the HK version, you will not need to change your CID. Successfully running the RUU will flash all the major partions, radios, and more and will bring you completely back to stock. It will also wipe your data/media partition (internal SC card) so make sure you backup anything you need to keep.
Thank you so much for your response it was exactly what I needed. If I wanted to remove the tampered flag could I do it before flashing the RUU? Or will that get removed along with the root in the process? Thanks again!

The RUU will actually remove the TAMPERED banner because that flag is in mmcblk0p6, named "pg2fs", which is one of the images that the RUU overwrites. UNLOCKED, if you have it, will remain because that flag is mmcblk0p2, named "pg1fs" which does not get overwritten by the RUU. It can be removed by hex editing that block with an echo command http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
If you are already unlocked, rooted, and have version 1.54.654.9, I would highly suggest you run sunshine and get S-OFF before you run the RUU and update the OTAs; who knows if that exploit will be blocked in further updates.
I see, I'm running 1.54.654.15...can I still s-off with sunshine?

Not sure since I did it on .9, but I would definitely try it - in fact, if you are on 15, the only way you will be able to run the .9 RUU is if you S-OFF.
Sunshine will not ask you to pay until it has run compatibility tests and verified that it can get S-OFF on your phone - so run it and if you see the message to pay, you are good to go. Having S-OFF just makes things SO much easier.
Just follow the directions on the sunshine site http://theroot.ninja/ and run it entirely from the phone; couldn't be easier. You will need to sideload the APK, easiest if you just run the command "adb install SunShine-latest.apk" after making sure Unknown Sources is checked in your phone settings.
Wait a sec, I thought you said I could use the RUU as long as it was of an older version than the one I currently had..so I was thinking about the .9 RUU since I am on .15... That actually wouldn't work? Sorry I'm a bit confused.

It's the other way around - look a few posts up - there's a "not older than your phone's version" in front of that statement.
To be clear, the .9 RUU will not work on a .15 phone if you are S-ON, you must be S-OFF to do that. However, if you had a .15 RUU (which doesn't exist) it would work on a .9 phone.
Sorry about the confusion. That is just one of the benefits of being S-OFF (not to get sidetracked but my favorite benefit is being able to flash from hboot or fastboot rebootRUU with the bootloader locked)
Ah yes, I see that now- my mistake. I guess I'll s-off tomorrow afternoon then. Thank you very much for your help!

It's encouraging that the Sunshine devs recently made fixes to deal with Sprint 4.4.3 M8 devices - that's version 2.16.654.4 which is higher than yours, so I think you have a good chance of success. Good luck!
Are you sure that it wouldn't work on a phone that is already updated to a newer software?
I have been on the previous version (final 4.4.2 version), and I have certainly used the RUU to flash back to the .9 version. To my knowledge, the RUU should work regardless of which version that your phone is running. If you're S-On, you just have to be locked & using the stock recovery.

I'm fairly certain that if you're S-on you can only run a RUU with the same software & firmware version that's installed on the phone. It was that way on the EVO LTE and I'm fairly certain that's how it is now.

nope, you can't flash a older RUU if you're s-on
Oh ok...my apologies.
Is there a reason that my phone boots directly into the bootloader every time that I relock it?
I am unable to boot into anything after using fastboot oem lock, and it only loads the bootloader until I run the RUU (granted, this was before the latest update).
So I am S-On with a non-HK M8
I was on stock rooted 4.4.2 and I flashed the stock recovery and took the OTA
Now I am on 4.4.3 and still have SuperSU installed (not rooted)
Everything is working fine, but when I try to boot to recovery i get the red triangle with the !
Any suggestions?

The red triangle is indicative of the stock recovery, which was updated with everything else when you did the OTA. Being S-ON with SuperSU means you must have been UNLOCKED at one point - if you are still are UNLOCKED, simply flash custom recovery back onto your device. If not UNLOCKED (if you relocked for the OTA, which is not necessary if S-OFF, not sure about S-ON), you will need to HTCDEV unlock again before flashing the custom recovery.

Is it possible to flash the recovery from SD card or do I need to use my computer?

When you download say TWRP from their webiste, you get an image file (IMG) that is meant to be flashed using fastboot from your computer. But you can rename it to "recovery.img", place that in a zip file along with an android.txt file with specific contents onto your external SD Card, and then you can flash it from the bootloader (if you are S-OFF). The file has to be specifically named as well - e.g., the Sprint HTC One M8 is "0P6BIMG.zip".
If you don't have an external SD Card, you may also be able to flash from the bootloader using a powered USB-OTG cable (like we did on the M7). Again, this is only if you are S-OFF, otherwise you will have to fastboot flash the image from your computer because bootloader flashes with S-ON have to be signed.
One last method that doesn't require S-OFF, is to copy the image file anywhere on internal or external SD cards, then use the "dd" command to copy the image over your recovery block (specific numeric device block depending on phone) using either your computer or a terminal emulator on the phone.
So yeah, you have options.
Update: I achieved S-Off as suggested, locked my boot loader using an adb command from another thread then ran the HK .9 RUU. I went through the 3 updates then took the phone to sprint, had no problems at all. Thanks for your help guys. :thumbup:
