[Q] RUU failed, stuck in RUU Boot, cannot boot recovery - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Forgive me if there's a better thread, but I've searched Google and this forum quite deeply but I'm unable to find a method that works to get my phone unbricked.
So I had my (UK, Orange HTC_001) One rooted for a while but I'd like to go back to stock so I can get the latest OTA and troubleshoot some app issues.
No problem I thought, I've done this on other phones. However the RUU failed and now my device constantly boots to the 4 triangles, and everything I try to get it back is failing. I'd really appreciate some help please!
Here's what I've tried:
* fastboot reboot-bootloader ---> launches back to 4 triangles.
* fastboot flash recovery recoverystock.img (recovery downloaded from link in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281365) ---> Fails to get further than "sending recovery (9562 KB)". Waited at least 10 mins
* unlocked my bootloader using the token from HTC ---> Showed successful but makes no difference.
* fastboot flash zip Guru.zip (recommended Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.401.1.zip for HTC_001 downloaded from http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/09/gurureset-downloads/) ---> Also sits on sending zip, much like trying to flash recovery.
Here's the output from my getvar all:
C:\Utilities\HTCToolkit\One_All-In-One_Kit_v\data>fastboot getvar all

Please can I have some advice? I'm getting a little worried at this point!

if you are S-OFF then you can fix it. you can type fastboot oem boot to get phone booted. let me know if you can do that.

Brilliant, a different screen at least! It's on the green HTC logo now, but seems to be hung after a couple of minutes sitting like that...I assume because the stock ROM is corrupted due to having failed when loading on RUU.
Do you think it's safe to flash zip now? If so, do you have a recommendation of which exact file?
Thanks!

hmm. I was expecting an OS to actually boot. If it didnt boot then you should flash RUU zip again (hopefully one that works):
1) fastboot oem rebootRUU
2) fastboot flash zip RUU_ZIP_FILENAME
3) if on phone it says to flash it again, something like: remote 90 please flash again immediately then repeat step 2 again.
4) you should get htc green progress bar during flash on phone and once its done run fastboot reboot. if you get int ruu boot again then use fastboot oem boot to boot to android.

OK after a second go rebooting and attempting to boot OEM it has worked! Thanks my friend.
I think the RUU stock ROM has actually applied as well, which is a nice bonus. Now I'll just see if the OTA update applies. Fingers crossed.
Thanks again buddy.

Actually upon applying update the phone hun on the 4 triangles again.
Is my bootloader borked? If so, how on earth do I fix that!

Can you boot into the bootloader? If so, just boot to that, connect to the PC and then run the 1.28.401.7 RUU. You don't have to piss about with fastboot reboot oemRUU and all that jazz as the RUU deals with it all

Are you S-OFF?
Are you rooted?
Are you unlocked?
We need to modify partition 19 to unset force_ruu flag so you dont get into booloader all the time. u need root at least to do it (maybe unlock or s-off too)

Yeah I have root still, luckily. I think I'm also unlocked (what's the easiest way to test? Usually I just check on bootloader screen) but I'm pretty sure I'm not S-off.
Modify partition 19? New territory for me, do show me the way sir!

So we first need to read your p19 and then hexedit the file.
To read the file (dont use quotes for commands - im using them to show what is the actual command you type):
1) get to adb shell as root - run "adb shell" in terminal while connected and having dev options enabled on the phone. run "su" to obtain root privileges inside adb shell.
2) copy p19 to your sdcard: "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/p19.orig"
exit adb shell and copy that file from your simcard using "adb pull /sdcard/p19.orig".
if you can attach that file to your reply i can edit for you, or at least tell you what you need to remove from there. that partition does not hold any sensitive data (like imei or serial number) so it should be ok to upload here... Use hex editor and verify just in case - its been some time since i was there last time.

OP says their mainversion is 1.28.401.7 and the CID is HTC__001 so the 1.28.401.7 RUU will solve the issue once you can get it running properly

No problem, that's done. Hex does indeed contain nothing sensitive that I can see.
I've renamed it .rar so that the filetype is accepted and with a maximum limit large enough to allow the file.
Thanks for your time on this

That's what I'm hoping! The RUU I have is meant to come with an "aroma installer", which I haven't used before...only .zip and RUU .exe files. There are no instructions on how to load it, but the file is a .zip so I just want to make sure it's right to use with the "fastboot flash zip" method?
The contents are as in the screenshot attached, to save downloading the gig file. If you need shots of the subfolders then that's no problem. Can anyone advise if this is correct please? I can't seem to get hold of a stock Nandroid .ZIP so if it looks odd then I would really appreciate a link to a known working one? Most of the sites are either down or the download seems too small or corrupt Thanks in advance!

Ah right! I've not used one of them before, just the official .EXE ones which are all self contained but you'd need to get into the proper fastboot mode first to be able to run it

no. RUU will not reset p19 partition. been there, done that.

I have attached modified p19. It is not rar-ed. You can compare to your original. I removed RUU flag (replace it with 00 in hex - you cant just delete it).
you need to dd it back to partition 19. steps:
1) boot your phone into android, connect to pc in dev mode
2) copy file to your phone: "adb push p19-mod.rar /sdcard/p19.mod" (make sure you are pointing to correct file with correct path - this example assumed file was in same directory that you are running adb commands from)
3) get into adb shell as root: "adb shell" and then inside shell "su"
4) copy modified parition: "dd if=/sdcard/p19.mod of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19"
5) reboot your phone and profit.

lol. Profit.
OK so more progress, which is great. It no longer boots to 4 triangles and will auto-boot into OEM which is great. However I can't power + vol reboot into fastboot...it just does the 3 second countdown then sits on 1 and doesn't actually reboot.
I'd really like to continue to try and get a stock ROM on but to do this I'm going to need bootloader, right? Or do you think there's a method of flashing it that will restore that too?
Thanks again for your time! I'd buy you a beer but, well...internet.

Yeah I can get into the OS now- it boots every time without prompt, thanks to your help. The countdown is when I hold power & vol down to prompt reboot..usually that will show a countdown of 3 seconds then reboot into bootloader. Now it just sticks on1 (until i release the keys, when phone just continues to run as normal) and doesn't reboot. Sorry I can't get a screenshot of this though, coz that'll use the same buttons as I have to press to prompt it.
OK no probs

can you boot to OS and then connect to pc in devmode and reboot using adb: "adb reboot bootloader"
that should get you to bootloader. if it doesnt work than you should downgrade/upgrade your bootloader since booloaders are supposed to be almost last resort for fixing things and not having it working properly is dangerous.

[SOLVED] Please guys, need help to bring my One back working

Hi guys.
Yesterday i decided to s-off via rumrunner.
I was on a GPE ROM (so yes, rooted, twrp recovery and custom rom) so i downloaded and flashed a sense based ROM as suggested, but after repeating 2 times the 8 pouring attempts i was still s-on.
I decided to try another sense base flashing a ruu back to stock to be sure it was compatible, so I relocked the bootloader.
The ruu install went immediately wrong (FAILED signature check verification). The problem now is that when I power it on it immediately goes in fastboot mode (yes fastboot, not bootloader). If I press bootloader and then recovery it goes back to fastboot.
So I tried another thing: unlock again the bootloader to manually flash back a custom recovery to make it work again.
Great idea, so i prepared back the unlocktoken, flash it and BAM: again signature check verification fail.
If I can't unlock and custom recovery again my only hope I guess its an ruu reset.
Now, I know that I can't revert hboot to an older version, and mine is 1.54.0000 so pretty high, but i tried also a 3.x RUU i found inside the RUU collection thread and got the same error msg.
Also smth must be definitely wrong cause I don't think the Unlocktoken should get that error msg, I never got it!
So to summarize:
- tampered, relocked and s-on 1.54.0000 hboot
- FAILED signature check verification if I try to unlock it via htcdev tocken
- RUU zips get same signature check fail error
- same signature check verification error if I try to manually flash just the boot partition (fastboot flash boot)
Guys I had a Desire, a One XL, a Nexus 4 but I think it's the first time I'm stuck with a completely useless slab and really don't know how to recover it.
Really ANY suggestion to make it boot again would be much appreciated...
Thanks

A) Do you still have custom recovery? If yes, can you enter recovery, and on your PC open a shell: "adb shell", does it show $ or #
can you copy/paste the command prompt
B) did you get a new unlocktocken from HTCdev, or are you using your old one?
Hit thanks button if I've helped, though it to soon to tell if I did

yup i forgot to press it =)
no custom recovery as i said, it just goes back to fastboot, i wanted to unlock it to flash twrp again but this stupid signature check is preventing me from doing anything!
i somehow think that my rom is still inside, just not booting, that's why i also tried to manually flash just the boot.img.
nope, i obtained a new one after the old gave me the error, no luck
really i dont know what to think

Nope i never wanted to remove TWRP, but does relocking bootloader not flash back the stock one?
Unluckily it just enters fastboot no matter if i power the phone up with or without volume buttons pressed!
I always thought that "if there's fastboot there's hope", but how to bypass the signature check if i'm s-on?
And why the heck does it fail checking signature of the Unlocktoken?

you're definitely in a pickle here.
But when in bootloader screen (the screenshot attached), can you select the second line; use VOL DOWN to get to second line, then press POWER to select it, where does it go?

It vibrates, White screen with Htc logo, it writes 'entering recovery' for half a second and then back to fastboot

OMG the UnlockCode worked!
Just to let you know, i changed absolutely nothing: the command i sent was the same as before and so was the token.
I think that maybe one of the many failed RUU attempts just flashed the partition i was missing, not enough to flash rom but enough to check the signature of the token!
Thx a lot dude, you gave me the hope to try to mess around again =)
Happyyy =))

So go get yourself S-Off, and never go back S-On. S-Off is your "get out of jail" card!!!
Do not relock, unless S-Off, there's a thread somewhere around here where plenty of people weren't able to get HTCdev to unlock again!!
Any other help needed, let me know.

[Q] Bricked after flashing Insertcoin 4.4 ROM (ADB can't find device)

I flashed the ROM in recovery. I thought I was S-OFF but am S-ON. It gave me error code 7 and the installation failed. Now I can't even boot into recovery (it just cycles between the HTC splash screen and then tries booting into recovery for a second. I see the recovery logo and then it reboots).
Holding down the volume down and power buttons I can get into HBOOT, but can't do a factory reset or recovery from there. I can get into the FASTBOOT menu, but my computer just tells me that the device connected has malfunctioned and can't recognize it. running "ADB Devices" returns with no devices found.
I downloaded and ran the RUU, but it can't find the phone. I'm out of ideas. I appreciate any help you guys can offer.

Hmm.. in 3 hours I'm going to sleep.. (Switzerland time zone) And so I write some basic thing that you can test and try out.. so that we can determine what the best steps will be.
First: Give me the output from that command(while in fastboot-ubs):
fastboot getvar all

Second:
What hboot version do you have? 1.44/1.54/1.55
What's the stock ROM you recieved with the factory fresh phone? z.zz.XXX.z now.. what was the XXX number exactly? The international edition for example is: 1.24.401.7 I only need the 3-digit number.
Third:
Unlocked or Locked/Relocked?

Unlocked or Locked/Relocked?

The phone is unlocked, HBOOT version is 1.44
running fastboot getvar all yields "waiting for device" Windows doesn't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. I know I have the correct drivers installed. When it tries to boot into recovery, I briefly see the device show up in Device Manager, but it disappears again. I don't know what the stock ROM was that came with the phone. I want to say it was 1.27.531.8, but I don't know for sure.

Are you in the fastboot mode? I mean you booted your phone into the bootloader.. then you chose "fastboot" and after this there's written "FASTBOOT USB"? and then you got this waiting for device? because simply being in hboot doesn't allow you to use fastboot commands. Sorry if this is a noob question.. but if your device wasn't recognized.. this would be f***ing difficult to get anything running again. This bug with the recovery.. hmmm... don't boot into recovery again.. recovery is connected to adb not fastboot... and to calm down.. here we have a RUU to get back stock(don't use it right now):

I would flash a new recovery, but my computer doesn't seem to be recognizing my device. It does for a second during boot into recovery, but once the recovery crashes and the phone resets, the phone disappears from device manager. It doesn't show backup when I'm in FASTBOOT USB.
I'm going to try it on a coworkers computer.

The phone shows up in Device Manager when I'm in FASTBOOT USB, but not when I'm in HBOOT. I still can't do anything with ADB.
I was able to flash a new recovery with FASTBOOT, but that recovery crashed as well.
If you are still trying for your computer to recognize the adb device and still hasn't then just buy an USB OTG then put an USB to flash a rom from there.

adb commands won't work while in fastboot mode/bootloader. fastboot needs to be used while in fastboot mode. While your in fastboot, try
fastboot erase cache
Then fastboot flash your recovery again (fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img), and try to access recovery
Thanks for all of your help guys. I finally got it working.

[Q] AT&T HTC One M7 soft-bricked. Fastboot works, can't boot to recovery [Concluded]

[Q] AT&T HTC One M7 soft-bricked. Fastboot works, can't boot to recovery [Concluded]
Wondering if I can get somebody to weigh in on this one. Trying to help a friend of a friend out--I don't know the back story of what happened to this, but sounded like a 'bricked his phone doing dangerous things without enough knowledge' kind of situation.
The phone is stuck in a boot loop, just the HTC wordmark on a white background. You can enter the bootloader just fine, and fastboot can read and send commands just fine, flash recovery just fine, etc. The device cannot, however, enter recovery mode. It just says "entering recovery..." at the top, with the same HTC wordmark and white background. It displays for 30 seconds, then the screen goes black for 4-5 seconds, then back to the HTC logo.
Some info about the phone:

Things I have tried already:
The first thing I did was I re-locked the bootloader and flashed the RUU exe, thinking that might be the quickest fix. The exe took the expected length of time and said it was successful, and rebooted the phone.
Still looping.
I then got the unlock token, unlocked the bootloader again, erased the cache, and fastboot flashed CWM recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-m7att.img - Attempted to reboot to recovery.
Still looping.
Cleared the cache, flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img - Attempted to reboot to recovery.
Still looping.
What's Next?
So that's about where I am now, I have functional bootloader and fastboot, but something is corrupted and I just absolutely can't get into recovery no matter what I try. I really thought the RUU would be a simple way to fix it, and was surprised when it didn't work.
From the reading I've done it sounds like there's some sort of emmc partition corruption possibly? Am I going in the right direction? I did post the fastboot getvar all results above--perhaps that can tip somebody off? I don't know quite enough to be able to spot trouble there at a glance, unfortunately.
I don't personally have a lot invested in getting this running, its owner already replaced it and I'm just doing it for the fun and challenge of the learning experience. But I may be out of my depth at this point, I've exhausted my barely-passable knowledge when it comes to this stuff.
Thanks for any comments or guidance you can provide!
Thanks to all for your help. I've come to believe the issues were hardware related, and have returned the phone.

Try to download TWRP 2.6.3.3 from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 . When it has downloaded put it in your fastboot folder, plug your phone into your computer, open a command window, and type "fastboot devices" to make sure it recognizes your phone. If it doesn't you will need the drivers, if it does recognize it type "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img" . That is the same file and procedure I just used a week ago, hope it helps you.

I noticed that you have 3.17.502.3 firmware, you might try to flash this RUU 4.18.502.7 it is a higher version and might correct what I suspect is a mismatch between your version and the hboot. If this is successful, you might think about this AT&T 5.12.502.2 Guru Reset. Read the entire OP for both, it might give you some insight.
Hmm... With this RUU, I get as far as "Updating 1/5 Checking headers" at 5% and never any further. Thought I might just need to be more patient, so I left it through three episodes of Trailer Park Boys season 8, and a subsequent afternoon nap before powering off the handset and killing the windows process. Tried it again and it seems to be doing the same thing. The MD5 matched so I don't think it was a bad download, so I wonder if there are any workarounds.
I'm running windows 7 x64, have the proper drivers installed, HTC Sync has been removed, and I've used this PC successfully on another HTC One when I needed to get it back to factory stock to send in for warranty work just a couple of weeks ago. So I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with my setup...
Can you find the same firmware (or extract from ota) and flash it?

Fairly sure, anyway? It takes the expected length of time (about 10 minutes), the progress bars march through their steps on the computer screen and phone screen, and the RUU exe congratulates me and says it's going to reboot the phone now when it's finished.
Can I try fastboot flashing a zip RUU, or does it require S-Off for that?

Just on a lark, I also flashed twrp-recovery-2.7-m7-nobcb.img from This thread.--no change. Although my symptoms were different, it sounded like it might be worth a shot, but no dice.

@clsA is quite right about those 4.xx RUUs, they do work, but are very sensitive (for lack of a better word), about PC configuration, USB ports, etc... no clue what is the defining problem.
though all this sounds strange indeed, usually when the emmc is fried, "fastboot oem rebootRUU" will throw an error.
can you extract the ROM.ZIP from the 3.17.502.3 RUU.EXE and try flashing it using fastboot commands:
run the RUU.EXE, once you're at the welcome screen, it would have extracted all the files into %TEMP%/<weird long numbered folder name> (use sort by date modified to find the newest folders), in it you should find a 1.5GB or so ROM.ZIP <- that's an encrypted/signed ruu.zip) copy it to your fastboot folder, exit the RUU.EXE, and flash the ROM.ZIP (it will give a lot more output):
relock bootloader (since you are S-On):
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ROM.ZIP
fastboot flash zip ROM.ZIP <- yes twice, the first one only does the hboot preupdate
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and copy/paste the command prompt output here, make sure to set the command prompt buffer size to a large enough size (at least 500+ lines)
obviously, if we had some background as to what happened previously, it would/could help too

Thank you for the clear instructions. I followed them over my lunch hour. My only problem was getting the command prompt buffer to stick, I changed it to 999 but it kept truncating the output anyhow. So I ran the commands a second time and snagged the output a few times throughout the process and cobbled it back together.
Here's the output at pastebin: http://pastebin.com/dNKaKKtd (note that it does not show the lock command as this was the second iteration that I captured)
presently, the phone is still looping.
I still have the phone for another night, so I'll keep going with this if you have more suggestions or instructions.
Many Thanks!

Well that output looks just fine, the ruu is successfully flashed, and has put everything back to stock. So unfortunately i can't really think of anything else, my only two guesses would be:
1- hardware problem
2- if he did flash something into p19 (the active cmdline overflow error), then maybe try the older cwm 6.0.2.8 recovery which seems to sometimes work for s-on users
you should first try to find out from your friend if this was the result of him flashing something, or if it happened by itself (in the latter case, it would be a hardware problem for sure)

Thanks so much for your help! Nothing ended up working, so I gave the phone back. My colleague wasn't sure the history of it, but I'm willing to bet hardware issue. I appreciate your guidance, though! This was good learning experience for me. I feel a lot more at home with a lot of the basic fastboot commands and that kind of thing, so it wasn't a total loss on my part. I'm usually having to look up tutorials just to remember basic syntax!
Anyway thanks to all who chimed in. If mods want, they can close this thread, otherwise I'll just let it sink to its grave.

[Q] Help...can't make/receive calls (Andriod 5.02 / Rev. 90.1)

Hi there,
I bought a 2nd hand phone [HTC M7] off ebay with Revolution 90.1 / Android 5.02 / Build No. 7.15.401.1
Everything works great...but I can't make or receive calls. I figured this was the same issue that struck HTC phones in Dec, but from my understanding 7.15.401.1 is more recent than the official HTC fix (6.10.531.10) & Rev. 90.1 already has this fix included also. I've also installed Viperone 7.02 (fix incl.), but no difference, so I'm now back to Rev. 90.1. I've also cleared google caches, froze HTC lockscreen etc etc but now I've run out of ideas.
Can anybody help?!
Thanks..!
Dial tone on a mobile phone... Whaaat? Bring the phone to your service provider, which is advice I never really give out, but from what you wrote, I think your missing something, like installing the SIM card or provisioning the phone correctly. Do you even have service and signal on it?

which version of windows are you using ?
also have a look in device manager whislt your phone is plugged in and phone in bootloader with fastbootUSB showing on the screen, see if device manager is seeing your device, it should say MyHTC under Android Devices (post a pict of device manager if possible)
fastboot commands only whilst in bootloader, adb wont work, adb is only for booted rom and recovery.
Just had a look at the link you posted, The adb and fastboot files are fine, I use those ones myself, the drivers are probably too far out of date, download HTC sync manager and install it, then goto add remove programs and remove HTC sync only, you will see the driver package just above it, leave that there, then plug your phone in and try fastboot devices or fastboot getvar all again.

dont change to windows 8 you will have all sorts of problems due to your HBOOT, you are on a very early firmware there and as you are s-off, that helps alot, I think you really need to bring your phone back up to speed to be sure thats not whats causing the issues your having, bear with me whilst I find the link of 401 firmwares. (version-main: 1.29.401.2)
If there is anything on the phone you need to keep, pictures, photo's music etc, please back it up now as firmware flash can wipe the device in some cases.
OK heres the link to the firmwares, you need to flash them one at a time, starting with the earliest 2.24.401's then the 3xxxxxx's then the 4xxxxx's then the 5xxxxxx and finally the 6xxxxxx's,: http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/401/ this issue you experiencing was fixed in the 7xxxxxx firmware which i'll find the link for shortly.
Do you know how to flash the firmware ?
Thanks so much.
I've found a guide

Is it the same way as flashing a ROM i.e. Recovery > Install?
Click to expand...

no, heres a good guide on how to do it: https://trjlive.com/guide-install-firmware-htc-one-m7/
if your phone is already in fastbootUSB mode, then skip the first 2 commands, also something not mentioned in the guide is the firmware.zip file MUST be in the same folder as your adb and fastboot files on your computer, when you download the firmware files (one at a time) they will be named as per the name on the site, just rename them to firmware.zip for ease, once you've finished flashing each one and the phone has finished booting, delete it and download the next then follow the prceedure once again.
your battery must be 50% or more before proceeding, but I can see yours is good at the moment at 4250mv
If you check yourself, no need to post each one, you should notice the version main number going up, the HBOOT version going up, you will also have stock recovery (a red triangle with an exclamation mark)
do not skip any steps and you'll be fine, report back after the first flash and let us know how it went, any problems, just ask.
Ok all done, getvar now gives me:
version-main: 6.09.401.12

perfect, as long as it still says your s-off, ps, never go s-on, you'll regret it, you can do one of the following.
You can flash this firmware https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722644637 (unsigned) not official yet, but will work for you as your s-off, if you go s-on your phone will brick, and then test your rom, your issue should be fixed.
Or you can do this which is what I did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/guide-convert-m7-developer-edition-t2840311 This is official

hold down the power button with the volume down, keep holding whilst the home and back bottuns on the bottom flash about 15 times, when they stop flashing, release the power button, but continue to hold down the volume down, the phone should boot to the bootloader, factory reset is in the list, use the volume button up / down to highlight it and power button to select, why do you want to factory reset ?
---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------
cannot mount sdcard is a normal error if you have entered recovery, there is no sdcard.
Sorry ignore the fact. reset bit.
I've now uploaded the last firmware zip you gave me. Can I just System reboot or is there something left to do?

yeah just system reboot, the lollipop rom's do really require Lollipop firmware which is what you just flashed in order toi work properly, your firmware was about 2 years out of date.

No it came with Rev. Should I reflash it?

yes, or a rom of your choice, you will need a custom recovery first, so download this:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
put your phone into fastbootUSB mode on the screen again by holding down the volume down and power button method again as I described earlier, this is the white screen not the black screen with silver HTC logo.
rename the download above to recovery.img and place it in the same folder as adb and fastboot again and with your phone plugged in issue these commands one at a time:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then enter recovery, as long as your drivers are working correctly, this recovery supports MTP so the computer should see the internal storage, just downlaod and copy the rom you want to flash straight to the internal storage, unplug your phone and install it, its recommended to install option with full wipe, dont worry, internal storage isnt touched, just wipes data and system.

Yes you must relock the bootloader to flash a RUU when your phone is S-ON
Code:
fastboot oem lock

Ok, thanks
I have doubt about install, my apologies for this doubt, I feel a little absurd...
I need a stock recovery? If its yes, I don't have and I don't know how to flash.
At the moment, never flash my phone with a RUU, I search info about flash, and view that, its possible I need stock recovery ( I don't have) and in all posts, indicate a .exe "auto install".
This ruu is a .zip and I don't know how to flash...
I work in linux but also I have windows.
Again, my apologies, I feel a little embarrassed.
Thanks in advenced.

You don't need to flash the stock recovery back before flashing the ruu. The stock recovery is included in the RUU and will be flashed automatically at the same time.

To flash a ruu.zip you need to have fastboot installed on your computer. Newer RUU (starting with 7.xx.xxx.x) requires to use a fastboot.exe version distributed by HTC (often referred as htc_fastboot.exe), The regular fastboot.exe you'll find in the android sdk tool will not work for these ruu. You can download htc_fastboot from here (just save it in the same folder where you already have your regular fastboot.exe and adb.exe). Btw make sure the RUU file is in the same folder.
Reboot your phone in bootloader mode and make sure you can see "FASTBOOT USB" in red
Start a command windows from your adb/fastboot folder
To relock your bootloader, type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then hit Enter. Your phone will reboot automatically
Reboot it again in bootloader mode and again make sure "FASTBOOT USB" in showing in red characters
Type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and hit Enter (note that fastboot commands are case sensitive so don't forget "RUU" are capital letters). Your phone will reboot in RUU mode (a black screen with a silver HTC logo). At this point your phone is ready to flash the RUU and waiting for the flash command, type:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.51_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_458803_signed.zip
The flash process will start. Don't touch anything until it's completed: your phone should reboot twice during the process 1st time in the middle of the flash and it will go back in ruu mode by itself and continue the flashing process. The 2nd time should make your phone reboot in the rom at the welcome/setup screen. Do not disconnect or play with your phone or computer until it's rebooted at the welcome screen.

I wait to finish all, in terminal windows, appears that, htc_fastboot was finished (with any error), all ok, but the phone appears a progress bar stop at 80 or 90%.
I wai for a 10-20 or 30 minutes, and the progress bar was continue stoped.
I try in terminal windows type: htc_fastboot reboot (I view this in the past in some post) and then the phone was reboot.
And yes, the phone are flashed and start all fine!!
And a doubt: this ruu contain the last rom? I question this because, after config the phone, I view that, not have any system update, and for example, in menu, the colour of screen in menu are black, and I remember that, in some update this colour screen menu, was changed to blue.
Again, thank you very much for your details and help!!!
It's a pleasure, few people help / teach so well.
