[Q] Cant update htc one 4.3 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on Vodafone UK. The update got delayed by 2 weeks and only just got released a few days ago. I have tried checking for the update on my HTC but no luck. I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone in the past and it is no longer rooted but still has an unlocked bootloader. Could this be why I can't update?the software number is 2.17.401.1 if that helps
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

bootloader does not need to be locked to receive ota,but you need to be on stock rom and stock recovery

1- relocking was not the wisest decision, better unlock again
2- to install custom rom, you only need unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. S-Off is NOT needed
3- to get s-off on hboot 1.55, use http://rumrunner.us/ (with compatible ROM, I think ARHD 31.6 should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023)

use latest TWRP (2.6.3.3 or above), i believe CWM hasn't been updated for 4.4 ROMs yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
verify MD5 of twrp before flashing!!
TWRP should work, maybe need to format. I always use the HTC One Developer Edition RUU zip that can be found on HTC Dev site as well as the numerous threads around XDA.

Hello, I meant i unlocked my device in a boutique. I don't think we can do that our-self. Thanks.

Actually I haven't tried a different SIM, but I'm sure it would work.

[Q] HBoot 1.55 S-Off back to S-On needed?

Hi all,
As the title suggests I need to get my HTC One back to S-On to send it back for repair, as I'm from Australia there is no RUU available for my Carrier but I have flashed back to stock using a Guru Nandroid, currently it's Bootloader is locked it's CID is OPTUS001 (default) and HBoot 1.55 S-Off which I need to get back to on and it's had it's latest OTA installed.
Earlier today I did achieve S-Off and locked but ended up with the tamper flag above locked which obviously couldn't be returned like that.
At the moment I am wondering if I need to downgrade just HBoot to 1.44 so I can S-On again but I'm worried it will show tampered again after I S-On like it did before, now in further if this is the only way to do it how can I get HBoot 1.55 back in after I S-On, I haven't found any firmware downloads out there at all specific to my device.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Just leave it s off its not a problem. As long as tampered is gone and boot loader is locked that is fine

Ok thank you for the reply, I have tried so many different things today and to be honest I'm surprised it's not bricked doing some of the things I have done, cheers.

Going from s off to s on is actually one of the easiest ways to brick your phone if your not careful. There really is no need. Some phones actually come out of the factory s off. And with warranty repairs I've heard of plenty of people with custom roms and unlocked bootloaders get it fixed no problem. Yours sounds fine

what to do? need complete stock to send back, currently at relocked s-on stock rom

i was running custom rom but decided the blue haze on the camera wasn't doing it for me and turns out htc are able to repair it once i send in
I got to relocked s-on only showing no tampered or anything by flashing ruu
running latest sense rom and hboot 1.56 atm
need to get back to just [locked] showing s-on
this is frustrating me I need help
i unlocked this originally through htc if that matters
You will need s-off to reset the bootloader back to locked instead of re-locked

S-OFF the phone. Then, use the flash the Guru Bootloader Reset zip in TWRP/CWM. From there, you can set it to Locked. But, HBOOT 1.56 has a lot of problems when trying to S-OFF. Its a hit and miss chance. Try using Firewater to S-OFF

M8 HK lollipop 5.0.1 downgrade to 4.4.4

I have purchased a m8 Sprint HK lollipop and would like to downgrade to 4.4.4, should I flash a stock ruu 4.4.4 so i can run sunshine. This phone is s-on no root no nothing fully stock boot loader locked.

Another user posted that they were able to use sunshine with a lower software, but you can't run an RUU to do it. You will still have to unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery. BACKUP your working ROM. (NANDROID). You can then flash a stock 4.4.4 ROM and see if you can run Sunshine.
That being said, I can't see why that theory hasn't been tested. The Sunshine devs are working on an update and it will work with Lollipop. It should be here soon if you want to wait it out.
Also, s-off is not required to install custom roms or kernels or run official RUU for the version you are on or above but is to run any Update Utility to downgrade..
Someone else can chime in and post whether or not they have had success with running a stock 4.4.4 and if they had success with Sunshine. In the meantime, it would not hurt to try it out and post back.
(I do not remember if a locked bootloader is required for Sunshine, if it is you might want to wait for the update) I would suggest against flashing a stock 4.4.4 and locking the bootloader.
You cannot downgrade via RUU while S-on. You can flash a ROM with an older software version but you won't be able to downgrade firmware. You'll need to wait for version 3.0 of Sunshine to be released before you S-off.

I'm in the same situation than THESTONEDONE2014, but I have the HTC One M8 (Sprint) Non HK running 5.01 lollipop. I've rooted my phone. I need to unlock the SIM and the bands to be able to used in my carrier outside of US. All the tutorials are based on 4.4.4 and not in 5.01. So I would like to come back to 4.4.4.
Do you know if there is any way to do it with a S-ON device?. Sunshine and firewater didn't work for me.

Thank you!
You can flash a KK ROM if you'd like, but you'll still have Lollipop firmware.
Have you looked at this SIM unlock tutorial? It's for 5.0.1.
