[Q] Help updating HTC 802w - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need your help guys. I can't apply any software updates to my HTC 802w (current version is 4.1.2) as it does not have the option in the Settings. I don't want to deal with the headaches of rooting and custom ROMS, so is there any way I can just download Android 4.2/4.3 (HTC Sense 5.5 would be a bonus) for my phone and install it via the microSD card or something? I am just looking for a simple and straightforward way to update the software for now.

Bumping for replies. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

My understanding is that the update option is disabled in custom ROMs so people don't mess with their devices. What does your phones bootloader say? When off, press power and vol down together and hold.

I just want to be able to install the regular 4.2.2 or 4.3 update. I am assuming I can't because I am in Saudi Arabia and my phone is Chinese, and the updates are supposed to be OTA, which is not possible here. Even so, there must be some way to just download the files from somewhere and install them manually, right?

don't know where or from whom you got your phone, but here's the situation you are in:
***LOCKED***
M7DUG PVT SHIP S-OFF RH <--- S-Off, only in a very few and rare situation would a phone come S-Off
CID-11111111 <--- SuperCID, somebody did that!!
M7DUG <--- that's the Dual SIM, right? so don't go messing around with M7_U and M7_UL versions, they are DIFFERENT
so to put it mildly, your phone was used by someone before you, and is not "out of the box". and you will not get any OTAs unless you're 100% stock.

Thanks for the reply. Just a few questions:
1. What do you mean by "SuperCID"? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
2. Yes, the phone is dual sim, and if what you said is correct, OTAs are out of the question. So if I just want to update my Android 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 (and hopefully HTC Sense as well), what are my options? What about upgrading with RUUs?
3. Yes, I got the impression that my phone was used by someone before me, as even though it has the Chinese bloatware, it does not have HTC Marketplace App or most of the Google apps but strangely has the Play Store app. Weird.
4. How can I "unlock" my phone? Or more specifically, what are the restrictions on a "locked" phone and what are the benefits of unlocking?

S-Off is a good thing, means you can change pretty much anything on your phone, but it also means you can brick it
I have no idea about the dual sim, so you're going to have to do some searching. I don't know if there are any RUUs out there for "M7DUG", but I think Maximus has a custom ROM for the dual sim,
whatever you do, make sure it's compatible with your device "M7DUG"!!!

I found this post with a collection of RUUs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43177948&postcount=369
Looks like the right ones. So, if I want to update from Android 4.1.2 to Android 4.2.2 these RUUs, how do I do so (I mean, what is the procedure)? And will the update require me to wipe all of my data or can I keep my data and settings?
Also, what does "locked" real mean for my device and how can I "unlock" my phone?

As expected, I didn't get any solution on the HTC site. I haven't done any mods on my phone and it's still running an all-stock OS since I took it out of the box.
Here's my software info (my unit is the Europe version and I'm located in the Philippines, if that helps)
Android Version
4.1.2
HTC Sense Version

Software number

Thanks in advance for the help :fingers-crossed:

that's strange.. the software number is correct.
and you haven't changed anything before? can you start your device into bootloader (power+volume down) and tell me what you see (does it show locked, unlocked or tampered?)? a screenshot of the bootloader would be helpful

wow, and you haven't modified anything? has this device been used before? your device is unlocked and even s-off!! :silly:
now it's clear why it didn't work. you'll have to relock your bootloader for an OTA.. the command would be "fastboot oem lock", but first you'll need to learn a bit about fastboot/adb stuff..
here's a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281365
Thanks! Hope this works (crossing fingers). By the way, what's this update anyway? I read somewhere that the 4.2.2 update for the HTC One came in two installments... one just a few MB in file size, then the other is around 400MB.

this update won't be 4.2.2, but i'm sure it'll follow directly after you've installed 1.29.xx.x

You've changed the CID. you have a Vodafone handset but the unbranded CID so it won't work. You need to change it back to VODAP001 and then see what happens
If you want the unbranded handset, seeing as you're S-OFF, then flash the 1.28.401.7 RUU and then you can get the OTAs to bring you up to 2.24.401.8

Will it completely wipe my phone if i flash the RUU sir?
And if it's not compatible, will it brick my phone?
It will wipe everything so back up anything you want to keep first, and no it shouldn't brick the phone so long as you are fully charged

[Q] All roms going into boot loop

Hey guys been going at this for about 14 hours
Story
flashed amazing android hd 3.1 thinking i had 5.1, when i realized that, i downloaded 5.1 and flashed it. Seemed to work except as soon as phone began to boot i got a pink screen followed by the htc and beats audio screen (logos were different colors) at this point it wouldn't do anything else.
I rebooted and went in recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and wiped cache, tried re flashing and same thing so i went in twrp (im a nweb haven't done this since i had my hero) formatted the data. Yes everything was gone no OS to boot from so i tried using sideloader but it wouldnt go past start up process i resorted to using adb, i pushed the amazing android 3.1 rom and flashed it. everything seemed to go fine. Seemed to boot, when i went to unlock the screen to set the phone up it just rebooted, it kept doing that over and over. Installed insert coin rom and did the same thing. idk what else to do :/ tried loading stock ruu but it gave me a fail message (cant remember what it was)
I never made any back ups as i didnt care about losing any data
Would appreciate some help guys
Im on mac and windows 7

thanks, im about to give it a shot
good morning lol
ok since im on s-on 4.06 do i skip this?
If you are S-OFF flash the 3.04 s-off firmware or 3.05 s-off firmware or 3.05.651.6 s-off firmware or 4.06.651.4 s-off firmware and you are done. If you are already on 4.06.651.4 you will have to flash the 3.05.651.6 s-off firmware first...reason being is the 4.06 s-off firmware does not have the latest radio included (use the same commands from 5.)
1.Download the 3.04 s-on firmware or 3.05 s-on firmware or 3.05.651.6 s-on firmware or 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware
2.Rename it firmware.zip (put the firmware.zip into the platform tools folder or the folder attached below)
3.Boot to bootloader
4.Lock bootloader(fastboot oem lock)
5.Then use these commands:
and go straight to this?
7.Then unlock the bootloader again and re-flash TWRP 2.6.3.0. (before formatting go to setting/screen and disable screen timeout)
8.Within TWRP 2.6.3.0 select Wipe > Format Data(it will ask you to confirm by typing YES) once done adb push a rom to your phone (adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/ ).
8a. If you are using the 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware I would suggest you push this Stock Rooted Odexed Rom to your device or it may not boot.
8b. After flashing the 4.06.651.4 rom you will most likely need to flash the latest radio because the 4.06 firmware does not have a radio included find it HERE
9.Optional but recommended: S-OFF using Rumrunner or Firewater
10.Win lol

Make sure the International roms you flash have Sprint support (does android hd google experience 6.1 have Sprint support yet?)
Also S-OFF it will save you headaches in the future

[Q] EE UK ROM? (Need to get OTA back)

Hi folks, long time listener, first time caller.
I have an HTC One (M7_UL) from EE UK.
Last year I unlocked, rooted and tried a few methods from XDA (toning down the crazy vibration, etc), then wanted to go back to stock in order to easily receive the 4.2.2 update that EE were sending out OTA. I messed something up and ended up having to sideload Teamwin recovery and the European 4.2.2 (2.24.401.1) ROM in order to have a working phone again. My own stupid fault. Have had no problems with it since and just left it as is.
However, I recently realised that I wasn't gonna get any more OTA updates, and having very little time to update to different ROMS myself these days, I'd kinda like to go back to the boring, easy life of getting the OTAs (probably six to nine months late, but whatever!)
I have been searching for a while but always end up with about twenty XDA browser tabs open and end up really confused.
The two issues I need to get sorted:
1) Does anyone know if EE UK have their own specific ROM, or if it is just the General European RUU that they send out? I can't find any specific EE ROMs anywhere, months of searching.
2) I only have access to Macs, not Windows machines.

However, I recently realised that I wasn't gonna get any more OTA updates, and having very little time to update to different ROMS myself these days, I'd kinda like to go back to the boring, easy life of getting the OTAs (probably six to nine months late, but whatever!)
I have been searching for a while but always end up with about twenty XDA browser tabs open and end up really confused.
The two issues I need to get sorted:
1) Does anyone know if EE UK have their own specific ROM, or if it is just the General European RUU that they send out? I can't find any specific EE ROMs anywhere, months of searching.
2) I only have access to Macs, not Windows machines.
Bootloader info:
TAMPERED

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

OS- 2.24.61.1
eMMC- boot 2048MB

QUESTION - Can anyone help me return to a state where I can receive OTA updates from EE UK *using a Mac*?
I would very much appreciate your input, please bear in mind I am not a n00b but neither am I particularly advanced in this stuff. So basically… I'm a n00b :silly:

Thanks for the quick response cr1960!
First issue:
"First you need to be S-Off, this will NOT work with S-On!!!"
I'm S-On as seen in my bootloader info above. I've read it's dangerous to go back to S-On from Off, so does this mean I can't use this guide, ruling out going S-Off then S-On in order to follow it?

1- you can stay S-Off, it won't affect OTA updates
2- the only reason for going S-On (in my opinion), is if you're selling the phone or sending it in for warranty
3- it's not dangerous to go S-Off to S-On (unless you're using a modded hboot), however, if you do that on hboot 1.55+ it will very likely trigger a "tamper detected - rebooting" and TAMPERED is back in the bootloader, hence the guide says to go from S-Off to S-On at a very specific time.

Ok, so I should just go S-Off and then proceed with your guide?

[Q] Unable to OTA update after HTCDev Bootloader Unlock

It's been awhile since I've messed with ROMs, and much has changed. I think I might have bit off more than I can chew, but hopefully it's a quick fix. I've been trying to scan for solutions, but so far no luck.
About a week ago I decided I was tired of avoiding apps that had crazy permissions and decided to get root on my phone so I could use AppOpps. I went through the HTCDev route and unlocked the bootloader. I got stuck when firewater, temproot & Weaksauce wouldn't work.
So, I relocked the bootloader (shows **relocked**) and figured I'd wait until someone pushed an updated tool. Got an OTA notice, and now I can't update the software. The update fails about 1/3 of the way through, going from green circled arrows to red triangled exclamation.
I've tried using fastboot to push the OTA ROM, but have had no success. I can flash the newest firmware successfully (as noted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766604), but still no joy on the OEM ROM.
Do I really have to go to the trouble of flashing older firmware, downgrading the HBoot and ROM to an older version, etc.. to get up and running with a **locked** phone that will get OTA update?
Such a PITA to get control over my data/permissions.
Thanks in advance for help.
So just RUU and call it a day

Weaksauce does not work on the Sprint variants.
I would give Firewater another shot as s-off will save you headaches like this down the road. I would also suggest doing it before you update HTC has a way of making thing harder for us with every OTA.
If your phone is inoperable at the moment use this guide to get up and running.

At the moment, all I can find is an older RUU, not the latest/greatest.
I've found a Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU download, but my phone is reporting Software version 4.06.651.9
Would this be close enough?

So far, the phone seems to be working fine, other than deleting my Amazon saved games
If I run the RUU as suggested: Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU, will I still be in a good position to try firewater again?

That RUU won't work it's older then the software you are currently on.
Give firewater a try without using weaksauce

You are correct, the RUU did not work. It failed completely on Windows 8.1 x64, so I ran in on Windows 7 x64, and it stopped at about 4%. The phone screen was black with the HTC logo and it just stayed like that for over an hour (I took the dog for a walk).
The Boot reports the following:
*** RELOCKED ***
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.57.0000
RADIO-1.01.20.0515
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-5.03.651.3
eMMC-boot 2048MB
May 15 2014, 16:31:22.0
Once the phone is booted up, the Settings->About reports the following:
Software version: 4.06.651.9
Android 4.4.2
HTC Sense 5.5
Can an OTA flash the firmware and die before updating the software?
Do I need to flash the firmware to match the reported software in the system?

I've never personally did an OTA so not sure.
If you use the guide I posted and use the 5.03.651.3 s-on firmware and rom it will be just like taking the OTA
OK, it took a little bit of research, because you probably assume most folks already know how to do this, but I got through your tutorial. Getting the latest TWRP was a bit confusing. At first I thought I had to have the TWRP app from the Google Play Store, which requires root, but then I found the TWRP page pointing to GooManager which automatically found the latest file and installed.
After that, it took a minute to figure out I had to go into HBOOT and select recovery to get the TWRP tool. I thought I was going to be using an Android utility to accomplish this (I guess I mean to say an app from the play store, not a BIOS like utility).
Lastly, for some reason the Android MyHTC driver died, so I had to manually remove and re-install. Re-running HTC Sync Manager install did not help. Once I got that figured out, I was able to adb push the file to the SDCard (Too bad one can't just drag and drop, but I'm guessing MTP dies with the flash?) and then load it from TWRP.
At the moment, I'm happy. I have the newer software and plenty to play with. I will give Firewater a try again, but I'm guessing it will be more difficult with the newest firmware/ROM?
I started with this guide a few days ago, but didn't push forward when I couldn't figure out the TWRP information. It might help to update that part of the guide, unless you want to avoid too many noobs getting into trouble.
Thanks for your help, and pointing me back in the right direction so quickly.

[Q] Help not sure what I did

So lets start out with I was using Beanstalk and really enjoyed it till my internet was malfunctioning. So I was checking out how to do a PLR update and noticed that the version I had didn't support it. So in turn I decided to look for a rom that had the Sense, so I chose the Viper rom. I went through the the CWM to load it and it wouldn't work (multiply tries.) I then tried using an older version of TWRP, I think 2.6, and it was working but then it would fail at status 7. I did some research and there were a few posts that mentioned to use the newest version. So I downloaded it, it gets as far as installing the rom and I still get the status 7 failure. So then the phone would only boot into the bootloader, so I reinstalled TWRP, it worked but wont load the rom. I reinstall the rom and I get as far as the bootloader again and need to reinstall TWRP. Now my phone is locked in the bootloader, it says at the top:
TAMPERED
RELOCKED
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.000
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
May 8 2013,16:30:08:-1
Yes I do know that when I did the previous rom it will always say tampered but I don't know why it is relocked and S-ON. It should have been unlocked and s-off. So I am not sure what I need to do. I was wondering if anyone could help. By the way I was using the One In All Kit v3.1 program off my computer to help me with all of my roms flashing.

your phone is M7_WLV variant which means its not a gsm variant (M7_UL or M7_U) so you must use recoveries and roms specifically for your phone variant, M7_WLV
bootloader doesnt lock back by itself, so you probably did by mistake, same for s-on/s-off.
learn how to use adb and fastboot and get rid of this toolkit. always better to use adb and fastboot directly from the terminal
then
unlock bootloader
flash the correct recovery for your phone variant
flash a compatible rom for your phone variant

I have a Sprint HTC One... And currently I am loading / downloading SDK and all of its components. I do appreciate in info. It seems as though that the programs that I am trying to use are older and outdated. The version of SDK that I had could have been one of the reasons why I am having issues connecting between the computer and my phone.
