Hello everyone!
I have an AT&T HTC One that is S-Off, relocked, SuperCID, black HBoot 1.54, currently on ViperOne 2.7 with stock kernel. I've been trying for the past day and a half to get the 3.22.1540.1 Brightstar WWE to run so I could have it back to stock with the most current OS. I also want to fully convert it to a Developer's Edition phone as well. I thought that with SuperCID you could run any RUU but so far every single time it ends in an error. I also tried changing the CID to the Developer's Edition CID (BS_US001) and still came back with the same error. So here I am on the greatest place in the world for Android phone assistance and advice asking for help in getting my phone converted to a Developer's Edition and/or on the 3.22 RUU. Thanks in advance for any help.
P.S. I already did try to search like crazy for the answers to my questions.!
Well you may need a stock recovery to run an ruu.exe. And I'd recommend going back to super-cid and then running the ruu as well. Be sure you back up all your information that you do then wish to lose, as the ruu will format the entire phone.

No need to relock boot loader because the developer edition comes by default unlocked. Unlock it to continue. You need to change your CID to 11111111 (super CID) and you need to flash the 1.44 hboot (I believe) the black hboot may be causing the problem.
Downgrade to the lowest firmware you can find for the Developers edition.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
(Yes, twice.)
Check to be sure everything was successful.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Make sure the bootloader is locked.
Run the ruu.
Let it do its thing.
Boot the phone and set it up.
Go to settings - about phone - software information - system update.
Allow it to download and update.
Repeatedly check for update until you reach 4.3

Hi there,
Did you get it work 3.22.1540.1 dev edition on your phone?, im still stuck in the same problem, got an HTC One AT&T, i got working the RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.16.exe (dev edition), when i check for updates, there's an update of 17mb, after updating that one, i check again and found the 3.22.1540.1 OTA (around 550mb), i downloaded and agree to install it, but when reboot the phone, it got stuck in the HTC logo screen, did not go further, even trying to get into recovery, same thing, got stuck in HTC logo screen.
Another test i did, was installing RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.22.1540.1.exe and even the zip version, both of them install correctly but same problem, got stuck in HTC Logo screen, right now my phone is Unlocked bootloader, S-off with supercid (also tried the BS_US001 CID, same problem), hboot 1.55, is there any chance someone can help me with it? thanks a lot

go into stock recovery and do a factory reset ..it should boot then
I know, this question is asked a lot but I haven't been able to find any threads that reflect my exact situation so please hear me out!
I have a Developer Edition from launch and recently wanted to try out making it a Google Play Edition, so I did that.
Got S-Off, unlocked, rooted, flashed with the GPE RUU
However I find myself missing the camera features and now that 4.3 is out and with rumors of Sense 5.5 I'd like to go back to Sense
Here's where I'm confused: My custom recovery is gone since flashing the RUU and my bootloader now says that it's locked, even though it's a Developer Edition. I understand that the Google Play Edition doesn't come with an unlocked bootloader so my assumption is that the RUU simply resets it.
Here's my tl;dr version of the question: Do I need to go through the whole unlocking process to go back to sense? Can I just flash the RUU for the Developer Edition and automatically get my unlocked bootloader back? I didn't change the CID or any of that, all I did was flash the RUU.
Thanks for any help!!
Edit: The only thing truly confusing me is the fact that the bootloader got locked (or so that's what is says)

Do you still have s-off? Then you can flash a dev edition RUU to get back sense.. If you want to keep s-off, flash a 4.1.2 RUU, get s-off and then ota update to the latest version.
When you flash the dev RUU, you'll get back your unlocked bootloader.

I do still have s-off, if I flash the latest RUU for dev edition will I lose s-off? Will I lose it if I flash any RUU?
Just curious at this point.

Some say you lose s-off, some say you don't..Afaik, an RUU is the safest way to go back to s-on. So to be on the safer side get the dev edition RUU for a 4.1.2 base and flash it.. If you lose s-off use Revone, then ota update to the latest 3.xx base. This will also update your hboot to 1.55, so make sure you're s-off before upgrading, as 1.55 cannot be s-offed yet.
Ps: Always use the thanks button

so as long as the you are s-off, you can ruu to any version even if you are at 1.54 hboot?

You need to downgrade the HBOOT first following post #2 in the GPe conversion thread, and then flash the RUU. You will NOT lose S-OFF but you will lose all data on the phone so back it up first

So considering I'm S-Off with the GPE RUU flashed, hboot 1.54
Will the S-Off allow me to directly flash the 4.3 RUU exe from htcdev? Will I maintain S-Off?
I'm just a bit confused now as you guys somewhat told me the opposite things, I appreciate the help though, getting great information

Follow what eddy says, he's the man @eddy, how does the hboot version make a difference??

I'm not sure, here's what I found today...
I was running the leaked Sense 5.5 system dump and FW and wanted to go back to the 1.28.401.7 RUU so I could get the official update. Not an issue I thought as I'd just flash it and away I go as I'd done in the past when on hboot 1.54. It gave the 155 error about not being the right RUU even though I'm S-OFF. So I flashed the hboot in the GPe conversion thread #2 which put it back to 1.44 and the RUU worked fine so it must be something with the new 1.55 hboot that stops it working. I can't be certain but it worked for me

Hmm, I have hboot 1.54 not 1.55, so it sounds like I may be able to flash right to 4.3 with the .exe (at least from what I understand)
If it is incompatible it should just give me an error, correct?
I'm willing to take the extra steps but if they're not totally necessary then I'd much prefer to just go down the simpler path
Also, I've got CID BS_US001, what are the benefits of changing it to supercid? Would I get OTAs such as the Sense 5.5 faster?
Hopefully I'm not being a pain, I'm trying my best to learn.
You should be fine on that HBOOT, just try it and if it works it works! If not, you'll get an error and then you just following the second post in the GPe conversion thread

Yep, go ahead and try, if it gives you an error, post back.
AFAIK, the dev edition BS_US001 gets OTAs the quickest, so you could keep it at that. SuperCID will allow you to flash any RUU/OTA, even of a different region/MID/CID
Nope, you're not being a pain We're all trying to learn and help here
Good news, I tried flashing the 4.3 RUU exe from HTCDev and it wouldn't work so I just took the longer route and flashed 1.44 hboot, flashed stock 4.1 RUU and then exe flashed up to 4.3
So I'm back on Sense and I'm happy, the only thing that was a slight setback was my bootloader, for some reason it did not unlock after flashing the Brightstar RUU so I went through the process on HTC dev and reflashed the 4.3 RUU to get back the flashlight and other apps lost through the unlocking process. Maybe I should have unlocked it through fastboot while on the GPE ROM? Not sure, but either way I'm back on Sense, bootloader unlocked and S-Off maintained so a huge huge THANK YOU from me.
Now I'm just waiting for Sense 5.5!
You guys are awesome :good:

Newbie move I suppose :angel: haha
I've been rooting and flashing ROMs on my Androids since the G1/Dream believe it or not, but with every new phone/manufacturer there's always new terminology and steps to be taken so I feel like I start over every single time, which honestly isn't much of a bad thing, keeps things exciting (even though HTC made the G1 but that was what feels like ages ago now)
Thanks again guys, it's hard not to feel intimidated but it's been an extremely pleasant experience learning from you. This is why xda is by far the best site you can find for these things.
Cheers
I understand that the only differences between HTC One and developer edition is the storage and the unlocked bootloader. I have got HTC Unlocked International Edition (32 GB) from Amazon. Now the KitKat update is going to be released 60 days earlier to the dev edition. Is there a way to convert to a dev edition to receive future updates faster? Would unlocking the bootloader turn the phone into a dev edition? Or those handsets receive the updates according to IME, serial or something? Thanks in advance!
Here's the short version on how to properly convert to Dev Edition and retain future OTA updates. Make sure to back up any data or files on the phone you don't want to lose, as this will wipe your phone and make it like new. Find your current APN settings and write them down just in case your carrier isn't shown as an option when first booting your phone after converting.
Unlock bootloader via HTCDev.com
S-Off (method varies depending on bootloader version, but most would use Rumrunner)
Change CID to BS_US001
If your MID is anything other than PN712000, change it to that.
Run RUU exe file for Dev Edition (available for download on HTCDev.com)
You can leave the bootloader unlocked and S-Off.

Will this method change to developer edition and will ensure future OTA released for the Developer Edition? Thanks!
Yes it will get OTA , if the last step is to run RUU for Dev edition.
If you install custom recovery/root on top of it, then you will have isssues with OTA.

Do I have to change to SuperCID at any stage?
No you do not. As per the post from EsJayEs , you only need to change CID to BS_US001
To add to that, there's no reason to ever use superCID. It's takes less than a minute to change your CID. And this is part of what ensures you receive OTA updates.

Thanks... It seems like it's not so common for people to convert to Developer Edition, all the search results I'm getting is about converting to-from GPE. Is that so uncommon right?
It's fairly common. For people on carrier branded phones that like the Sense user interface, the options are Dev Edition or International. Dev Edition has the advantage of significantly faster updates. International version has no real advantage that I know of. At the moment, the international version has a newer version of Sense, but they'll be waiting until January for Android 4.4. But those using the Dev Edition should receive that update any day now (including the updated version of Sense).

I have the international version, but I will convert to Dev Ed once the 4.4 update (RUU) is released. Usually when the OTA update is released, the RUU is released at the same time? This is my first HTC phone, so I'm clueless
Hard to say. If they release the RUU, it could be a few days or weeks after the OTA is being pushed. But the OTA will almost definitely come first. If you were to convert now, you'd have verification that your work was done properly when the OTA is pushed and successfully installs.

At any point do I need to install a custom recovery? I'm not going to root at the moment. What's the best and easy method to install/flash the RUU?

You will need to custom recovery & root to gain S-Off, but once you have ran the dev RUU and the phone is converted, you will not need to root/recovery again.

You do not need to install custom recovery.or root. Once you have S-Off (download and use the latest version of Rumrunner http://rumrunner.us/downloads-2/ for this), change your CID to BS_US001 and change your MID to PN712000.
Change your MID using the information here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820
Changing your CID using the Fastboot command
Code:
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
After that, run the RUU program downloaded from here http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_a...3_SENSE50_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.22.1540.1.exe
Again, custom recovery and root are not required (or even useful) for this process. I strongly prefer not to use any custom recovery because it makes future OTA updates impossible.

Thanks again for your response, the MID is mentioned in other posted slightly different than the one you mentioned here - PN0712000. Which one is correct? Or is there no difference between PN712000 and PN0712000? My current MID is PN0714000

Also do I need to relock the bootloader at any stage of the process?
Rumrunner S-OFF must have the phone rooted and requires custom recovery. Can I unroot and install stock recovery before flashing the RUU? Or Installing the RUU will overwrite the custom recovery and installing stock recovery and removing root? If I have to flash the stock recovery to overwrite the custom one, how to do so? Where can I find the compatible latest version of stock recovery?
Do I need to downgrade the hboot at any point? I'm running Windows 8.1 -if that's relevant.

If running the RUU gives error 155, then downgrade to hboot 1.44 first; you'll get error 155 on hboot 1.55+

If you have problems with fastboot and/or adb might be best to use Win7. Win8 and 8.1 are known to sometimes have "issues"

and iirc correctly, you may need to use an engineering hboot to change mid, if the normal hboot doesnt work.
EDIT: an be careful with engineering hboot, they have some very powerful commands, that could brick your phone. i think there's a guide somewhere around here, but i don't have the link right now
My Htc One is S-OFF with super cid "11111111" hboot 1.44 and latest radio.
the original cid was TIM_401 something from Italy which I didn't found the RUU over the internet for it, so from day 1 using custom roms (viper one)
Actually I was a iPhoner for many years just few months ago upgraded to "android" so I am pretty new in all this.
I wonder if it possible for example to flash the us developer edition RUU which receive very quickly OTA updates from HTC on my HTC one? and covert my phone to full developer edition?
and another question if I flash the stock rom using fastboot this will upgrade my HBOOT/Radio too?
Sorry for my newb question

s-off you can flash any decrypted RUU.zip by simple edit of the android-info.txt to match your phone (use fastboot getvar all)
Rom will not update firmware (hboot/radio) - RUU will

first flash this firmware
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/3-22-1540-1_firmware-zip/
change your CID to: BS_US001
Then you can use this guru reset to change to a developer edition ->> http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-22-1540-1-zip/
Choose to flash stock recovery and no root and you'll have a stock developer edition One.
I don't think you need it but if you do
download Guru Bootloader Reset from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_boo...reset_1-0-zip/
If Ive missed anything someone please chime in

Thank you very much, I will try...
Good afternoon everyone,
So what my current situation is:
HTC ONE M7 -AT&T(Best Buy Blue Edition) activated on Criket
Android 4.3
Sense 5.0
Tampered
RElocked
S-off
HBOOT-1.55
TWRP-2.8.7.0
I'm attempting to update using the RUU from HTC's website for my phone. Everytime I run it, as soon as it starts to send the first package the installer has an error and is forced to close. I have the PC and my phone talking in FASTBOOT USB with the above current situation. I was getting the 155 error, but with the help of this forum I have gotten past that.
All I want to do is update my phone so I can get the better battery life and get Facebook working in my blinkfeed again.
Where do I go from here?
I am very computer literate, I just don't have a whole lot of experience with bootloading android. Flashing wasn't so hard though, and I'm comfortable in ADB/Fastboot. I have been going through all the guides on here I could find. It is how I got this far, but now I just don't know what to do. I still keep getting the same error.
P.S. Thanks for all the resources guys, it has already been such a big help!
Update: I was able to successfully run to completion the RUU for Cingular Sense 5.0 version 3.17 the same one as my phone, so now in the interest of sounding stupid I'm going to download and try Sense 5.5 and then step up to Sense 6.0 staying on the Cingular RUU path.
TLDR: old Update:
While I wait I decided to tinker. So for ****s and giggles I tried installing the RUU from "Android RUU" UL-3.17 the same version I already have. No real reason, just to see what would happen. It is progressing now, but has already made it much further than any attempt at installing the RUU from HTC which is also an UL Cingular version, but for version 7.23.
Just in case this information helps in my diagnosis.
Alright, So update to Sense 5.5 fails everytime at 5% again. Now it is saying it is an Error 171 USB Connection error.
I tried it on both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.

you can't flash a 7.xx.xxx.x RUU if your phone isn't already running at least a 6.xx.xxx.x firmware. May I ask why you want to stay on cingular version (at&t) ? If you are not using an at&t sim card you won't receive ota updates and since you are not on at&t you don't need all the at&t bloatware on your phone... You already have s-off you could simply change your cid to the developer edition or supercid and use the developer edition ruu...

I'm not opposed to that, the only reason I was trying to stick with it was just to leave as few variables as possible since this is foreign territory to me.
As long as I still get Sense 6.0 I'll run any RUU.
Which one would you recommend if so?

I would simply flash the developer edition 6.07.1540.2 firmware first so your phone will accept the 7.17.1540.7 ruu.
you'll then receive an ota update to 7.17.1540.21 which is the final version with android 5.0.2 htc sense 6.0
If you want to go that way, you'll need to:
change your cid to supercid or dev edition cid:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
or
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
flash the 6.07.1540.2 stock firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip Firmware_6.07.1540.2.zip
fastboot flash zip Firmware_6.07.1540.2.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and flash (run) the 7.07.1540.7 ruu.exe.
So after I flash 6xxx, I simply run the Brightstar RUU you linked? Or do I try and do it through the cmd again?

Yes after updating the firmware to 6.07.1540.2 your phone will accept the 7.17.1540.7 ruu, just run the ruu.exe with the phone still in bootloader mode.

yes, there will be only one update, from 7.17.1540.7 to 7.17.1540.21, if you don't receive any notification for it, let me know I'll link the ota update zip file and explain you how to flash it manually.

Thank you for all of your help good sir. I've been fighting with this since 8 o clock last night...
Update: all taken care of, now it is just a matter of installing my apps and setting things back up again.
Thank you again sir, you were very helpful and straight to the point! Exactly what I needed.
Ok, one thing I've run into, while installing my apps and updated and such.
Facebook won't install. It gives me "Unknown error code -504"
I tried clearing cache's and no go, I googled it but I can't find a 504 code.

Clear google play cache, find the facebook installation folder (com.facebook.katana), deleted everything, reboot the phone and try to install again.
