I need some help. I just bought a HTC one international factory unlocked 32gb version but it seems the previous owner had it bootloader unlocked, was running TWRP recovery, and a custom rom. Now I am completely new to this unlocking/relocking factory stock flashing stuff. I looked up online tutorials on how to do this but can't seem to figure it out. I have downloaded ADT-bundle files and re locked my bootloader. Now I am trying to use the developer edition RUU installshield wizard but the wizard keeps crashing! I tried both developer edition RUU's off the XDA RUU collection thread but both keep crashing. Since I am unable to run the RUU wizard I am now stuck in the fastboot menu on my phone. The status still says tampered on top. Underneath it says relocked and security warning. PLEASE HELP!
NEVERMIND. I figured it out!!!
So, I bought a second hand Sprint HTC One from Craigslist about a week ago.. First think I did was followed QBKing77's guide on how to unlock bootloader and root. Did that fairly easily, then went through this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 ) to unlock it, had to do the steps in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491840 ) to get it to work since I had Android 4.3 and was unsure on how to go backwards to Android 4.2.2. After I got my phone unlocked, I went and got a Net10 SIM card and a month card, activated it, threw it in my One, and.. Nothing. No signal what so ever on GSM. It does recognize my SIM, though. So, I flashed to the original Radio from Sprint ( 1.00.20.0315 ), but still couldn't connect to GSM networks. I called Sprint, and they said my phone was still active on a plan, so I went hunting for a way around that.. I saw some things about flashing to Cricket, but I didn't want that. After relocking my bootloader and trying to RUU a few times, and none of them working, I thought I should update the Firmware. So, I downloaded some UL update for 3.62.401.1 without thinking, flashed it onto my device, and when I booted it up, it started a boot loop. I could navigate the phone for a while, but after about 5 minutes of it being turned on, it would reboot. So, I went into TWRP>wipe>advanced wipe> selected Dalvik Cache, Cache, and System. After that, my system now hangs on the HTC boot screen. I can still get into Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried flashing to TWRP 2.5.0.0, but my touch screen stopped working in TWRP when I did that. I just flashed back to 2.6.3.0, and my touch works again in TWRP. I can't get ADB Sideloader to work.. Currently, my Bootloader is Unlocked, S-Off, superCID, HBoot 1.55.0000, Radio 4A.21.3262.04, OpenDSP v32.120.274.0909, OS 1.29.651.10. That's about all the info I can get from Bootloader. It still says Tampered as well.
What should I do? My first step is to hopefully get back to where I can actually see the homescreen.. After that, I'd like to be able to get my phone to work on GSM.. I don't know if that is possible, though. I haven't found anything about someone having a phone that is still on a Sprint plan and being able to use GSM in the US.

I already have my phone unlocked. I have the same RUU downloaded from that thread as well, and tried it one more time, and I got Error 155, basically telling me I have the wrong RUU for my device..

Are you 100% sure you are s-off?
Try a different USB Port
USB 2 if possible.

I only have two ports on my laptop, and I've tried both. I even tried a usb hub, but that gave me the same error. In my bootloader, it says I'm s-off, I used rumrunner to do it a couple days ago.
Well, I am stuck in such a weird situation now.
I used Rom Manager yesterday to try to install cwm recovery and failed to make any change. After doing it, I entered boatloader (I was originally s off and unlocked), and found that it has become s-on and locked. And I found another strange thing happened at the same time, although the security lock was seemed to be locked back. I still could overwrite my cid become supersid(I used "fastboot own readcid" and confirmed this), but can't do anything like flashing hboot or custom recovery...... until I unlock boatloader via HTC dev than I could flash recovery again. And I found that when I command "fastboot oem readsecureflag" , I suggested "secure_flag:0"(s off) but not "secure_flag:3"
And firewater s off is not useable for me. It will pop out "there isn't helluva....."
With hboot1.55 rumrunner is not useable for me either
Plz help me by these problems, thanks a lot
Hello Guys,
I just lost my phone and a friend of mine gave me one that he is not using anymore because he did not know how to unlock it so he bought a new one. Now I have that phone and it happens to be an HTC One M7 from Sprint, it is running Android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense 6.0, Software 6.23.651.10. I booted in recovery mode and it says it is Relocked, S-Off, Hboot is 1.61. Also, there is one option that says simlock and if I click on it then it says SD init fail (within the recovery mode menu).
The phone is rooted, I managed to do it via Kingo App and I just need to get it working in another GSM network, I have been looking for information about this but all I have found is info for when we were back in Android 4.2.3 and tried to go with it but it does not work.
If anyone can please help me find a solution so I can unlock this phone I would really appreciate it.
Been fiddling with this all day. HTC One M7 from Rogers needs to work with other carriers. Bricked itself a year ago during a system update, put SlimRom 4.4 on it and that's been fine until now. I get asked for an unlock code when I put in the new SIM, I bought one and it won't accept it (Phone has been rooted and reflashed, assuming this is why).
I backed everything up. ADB and such is working. I have an Android 4.4 Rogers RUU that I am assuming will let me unlock the SIM once installed. Also assuming S-Off required to install RUU, and attempting to get S-Off. I tried installing Sunshine (by pushing the APK) and Sunshine opens but says I need a more stock-like ROM for it to work. I'm okay with the $25 or whatever it costs, if it works. I installed htc1guru's Rogers nandroid backup in hopes of it being stock enough for Sunshine or a SIM Unlock. Touch Screen no longer works. I can get an OTG Cable tomorrow and attempt to SIM Unlock or Sunshine, if that is the problem.
Am I doing this right?

Can you please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno before posting). Your touchscreen issue is for sure caused by flashing a guru reset version way much older than your firmware version (btw what was the guru reset version used)?
