Simply flash a stock RUU which matches the CID or just use fastboot oem writecid 11111111 to be able to flash any RUU.

if you have S-Off download any RUU and open the .EXE file on your Windows PC, then follow the instruction

Can i execute a ruu of a lower version? And can i do that with 1.54 hboot? When i try with HTC__001 cid the setup wizard give me error this is the ruu i want to flash. RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed
Its the correct One?

I've tried with super cid but the result was the same... Any advice?

Try this.
1. Run the RUU and click next but no further
2. Go to your user folder ie C:\Users\Nameofuser\AppData\Local\Temp
3. Search for rom.zip and then copy it to another location on your PC
4. Stop the RUU
5. Reboot your phone into the bootloader
6. Go into fastboot
7. fastboot oem rebootRUU
8. fastboot flash zip rom.zip (will fail the first time)
9. fastboot flash zip rom.zip (should now work)

Did you literally flash everything to get the GE edition as per another thread on the conversion and also did you flash the 4.3 GE hboot?

I flash the zip of the rooted GE 4.3 the same way you told me to do before.
I follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781

Probably a good idea to remove your IMEI and SERIAL number from your post but anyway...
Try just flashing the stock rom from this thread using CWM or TWRP and then flash the stock recovery back after.

[Q] RESOLVED -HTC One would not update, tried unlocking and rooting...

If anyone has some time to spare, I could really use some individual guidance.
I just purchased a used HTC One, it had 4.1.2 on it and would not update so I unlocked it and rooted it.
Now though, I keep getting stuck no matter what I try...
I've been trying to get S Off, I have the 1.44 version of hboot I think it's called, and CWS_001 and PN0712000. I can't get S Off to work, even after updating to 4.2.2, now my wifi will not connect. I keep getting stuck in boot loop, or TWRP will not load. I've tripped the 'tamper' flag and would like to get rid of that.
I'm just not familiar enough with all the instructions to purposefully move from where I'm at to where I want to go. I would like to have 4.4 eventually and be unlocked and rooted with a custom ROM with no HTC overlay.
If there is any chance anyone would be willing to walk me through, I would greatly appreciate it. My S3 is working fine so I'm not desperate, but getting there quickly.
Thank you.
I've spent the last 12 hours going around in circles, my Chrome browser looks like 100 tabs are open across the top with all the pages I've been reading trying to figure this thing out. I feel like an idiot about now. Anyways, thanks to anybody for considering helping ahead of time.

Thank you! So, there is no requirement for root, locked/unlocked, previous/installed ROM etc??? Doesn't care what build of my HTC ONE or anything?
Sounds too good to be true.
Will I still be rooted and unlocked afterwards?
Is this a stock ROM?
Downloading now, thanks for the help.

"Sent from my recliner" Well played Sir...
I see by your signature, you are exactly where I want to be. I too have the CSW_001 version. I was up until 2 this morning messing with it so I'm 'off' for the night but will be up bright and early following your suggestion, thank you for that.
Might I still find you in your recliner should I happen to falter? I'm hoping that after this works, I can put my One in the same condition as yours, S Off etc...
Any further pointers on that score? You know exactly the state my One will be in after I get done with your previous advice.
Thanks again, I really appreciate your assistance.

Wow, this is great! Just what I need, step by step by step. Like when the golfer hits something up there a couple of inches and the announcer proclaims, "Even I could make that putt." Thank you.
Now, I'm going to give you an opportunity to look your instructions over again while I'm downloading the V1 5.0 ROM (or, another RUU?) (What's the difference btw?) and the ARHD 31.6 file (I'm on lowly 12mb connection so going to take me 40 minutes) before I get started. I already had the other files.
I'm following your instructions blindly so if you've missed something, I'm hosed (I don't want to be hosed, tyvm).
Is that enough?

Error 155 usually means your using the wrong RUU
which means you phone is not CID CWS_001
MID PN0712000. not sure how you got that info
Just exit the update utility

then post your "fastboot getvar all" ( excluding SerialNo and IEMI )

I can't remember exactly but I did run something and that was returned, I wrote it down.
I use Chrome (I've heard others having problems with Chrome and large file downloads) so I'm downloading that RUU again using IE.

[Q] It's been awhile...

It's been awhile since I've done any sort of updating on my HTC One and it's kind of worrying me now. Since I've got my phone, I've unlocked the boot loader, rooted it, installed TWRM as my recovery and I've used CyanogenMod's ROM's (now 4.4.2).
However, I've never once updated "firmware" because I'm not sure how. I've never really updated anything whatsoever apart from my ROM/TWRP and it's got me a bit worried that every thing is so out of date. I see that I'm supposed to update kernels, firmware, hboot, etc? Is this a huge deal and how do I do this safely?
Today I got super CID over with along with removed tampered from my bootloader screen. I'm also S-Off from moving to Kitkat CM.
Can someone please help me get my phone completely up to date? I also have this constant "Superuser binaries are out of date" pop up and when I reboot into TWRP, it doesn't download anything. It's annoying as ****.

I would suggest going into superuser apk on phone and try updating binaries through that. If not when it goes to tqrp asking for binaries update try update on that. And if you go to bootloader. So restart phone while holding vol down. See what hboot and firmware it says. But if I'm honest I'm not sure if cm is different to usual stock roms

if you're using superuser (as opposed to SuperSU), TWRP doesn't automatically go to the correct folder to install it, you need to manually (in TWRP) go to:
/data/data/com.koushidutta.superuser/files
then you will see superuser.zip which you can install to update binaries.

Thank you so much. Alright, so the Superuser issue is now resolved and I know how to resolve it in the future now too! However, to give an idea of what I'm currently at, this is what my device is using in terms of what's shown on my bootloader screen thing:
M7_UL PVT Ship S-OFF RH
CID-11111111

How bad is that?

So using different hboots/firmware upgrades is only to use different roms? I read somewhere that you're supposed to keep hboot up to date to newest version for performance increases and stuff. It's all very confusing to me.
Right now I'm using ARHD GPe 6.1 and it's not bad. I was using CM11 but I want to wait a few months for it to get a little more stable.

Bump please

so far (for the HTC One M7 at least) upgrading firmware is as mentioned in the OP of ARHD
Firmware package from here (recommended but not needed for now)

--> not necessary, but recommended.
recommended to have the firmware the same version as ROM, because as you mentioned (at least supposedly/theoretically) better performance, stability, battery, etc.

How do I install firmware upgrades? Do I have to reinstall the ROM after?

you flash firmware in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name of firmware file>.zip
fastboot flash zip <name of firmware file>.zip <- yes TWICE!!
fastboot reboot-bootloader
since you're s-off, you can flash any firmware you like (upgrade & downgrade, signed or unsiged)
I usually use Vomer's firmwares from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
(cause they have recovery.img and boot.img already removed, i'll get to that in a second)
But there are other, such as:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
or
http://xda7.androidrevolution.nl/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/ (those are original signed packages i think)
You should check the contents of the zip, for
recovery.img -> that would overwrite your custom recovery and you would have to flash it again
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
boot.img (the kernel) -> that would overwrite the kernel that comes part of the ROM
you either dirty-flash the ROM again, or extract "boot.img" from the ROM.zip and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(that's boot NOT hboot, don't ever do fastboot flash hboot, EVER!!!)
you can also try different radios from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699

[q] htc one bicked - start up loop (cant find ruu file)

I'm a complete newbie to this XDA so would appreciate any help possible.
My HTC One is Bricked and wont go beyond the HTC logo screen.
I've look at all the different forums and threads and I cant find one particular thread to guide me through the process.
The simplest way I can tell to get my phone back to stock without rooting and doing s-off is to use a ruu file, but I cant find one any where for my phone.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction:

There is an RUU for your One. The only issue is that ur S-ON and the RUU is for a lower firmware version than the one you have. To flash the RUU, you will have to downgrade your firmware, which needs S-OFF
Post the output of your getvar all. It'll help a lot
And do u have custom recovery?? What exactly did you do which bricked the phone ??

Hello, Thanks for helping out. I have a taiwan build of the phone, for some reason I got the message prompt to upgrade to kitkat and sense 5.5 ( the release isnt officially out in my region) I'm thinking I got it because of the firmware build of my phone, once i tried to upgrade thats where the stall happened.
To get S-Off i need to root my phone from my understanding is this correct ? I dont have a custom recovery will post the get var here.
Thanks again.

Since you bricked your phone, I'm going to safely assume you were at least on an unlocked bootloader. If that's the case, you can download the TWRP recovery image onto your PC and boot into it off your phone with the fastboot command "fastboot boot (recovery name).img". Once there, you can go to TWRP's advanced settings and turn on ADB sideload to install a ROM. After that's done, go back into fastboot and flash the boot.img from the ROM separately before booting the ROM for the first time (since you're S-ON). That should get your phone back on.
My friend did the same thing the other day and that was how I got theirs working again.

That only works on hboot 1.44, "fastboot boot ...." was patched/broken after 1.44.

That's not needed on the M7, it'll get flashed automatically during the install even with S-On.

Which RUU file do you recommend I can downgrade to. The version I have is 3.63.709.3 is there a site with ruu files. I have the latest ota file from the htc website, is the ruu file in there ?
Will try the procedure today and re post here.

Yup the fastboot thingy doesnt work, anyother way i can use twrp if this is required. Unlocked my boot loader, are there any short cuts in this. Cant I just unlock, s-off and download any of the latest ruu files to bring my phone back to life ?

[Q] How to go from HBOOT 1.57 to HBOOT 1.44 in order to install Stock RUU

I have an AT&T HTC One (m7). I would like to ultimately get this back to HTC's stock version with the ability to receive OTA updates and behave just like it would if it were never modified. Several guides, post, and pages say that the only way I can successfully use an AT&T RUU file is accomplishing S-OFF since they will all contain older firmware (HBOOTS) than my current 1.57 version (I've seen some who LOCK the bootloader after achieve S-OFF and others who don't). If anyone can definitively tell me if it matters rather bootloader is still locked after achieve S-OFF, that would be appreciated.
XDA and HTC Guru indicate to successfully run an RUU I need to downgrade my HBOOT from 1.57 to HBOOT 1.44. While downgrading, can I go from 1.57 and directly install a 1.44 firmware or do I have to step down one at a time 1.57-->1.54-->1.x -> 1.44? Also, if anyone has a collection of firmware I can use to do this, that would be awesome too.
The RUU i'm trying to ultimately put on my phone is RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_US_1.26.502.15_Radio_4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04_release_326691_signed_2 from AndroidRUU (new , so can't embed the link)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 here is a list of firmware
You can downgrade your hboot and then run the RUU. Make sure it's a stock hboot and NOT a modified one (it'll say either or). You can open the firmeware zips (not extract) and open and edit the android.info text file and add in your CID and model id as required if necessary
You can then flash the RUU as normal after. No need to step down hboots

Since you are S-OFF, you don't have to go all the way back to JB, you can flash this 4.18.502.7 decrypted ROM. and the instructions are from clsA:
Copy your downloaded file to your fastboot / adb folder
Rename the file Rom.zip
open a command prompt in the same folder (shift + right click - command prompt here )
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
wait for the Silver HTC logo
fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. You have to issue the exact command again:
fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
most times the green status bar does not reach the 100% mark. So when the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:
fastboot reboot

This should put you back at stock. You do not need to lock your bootloader since you are S-OFF.

@majmoz I tried to flash the ROM you pointed me to, but it failed. It just said error updating <ROM Name> Updating partition details...
I am still on HBOOT 1.57, if I understood your previous comment, running this ROM would not require me to update the firmware first. Did I mis-understand that?
