1. Can I leave hboot off unrooted
2. Can I lock hboot without a PC
3. Some tutorials say to lock hboot before flashing back to stock. I was aware u needed hboot unlocked to do this.

2. To unlock bootloader you need a pc
3. You need to unlock your bootloader, as for hboot depends on if you are flashing ics etc

Ok so here is where I run into my issues. I am a gamer on my phone. At some point everyone is. But I play perblues games parallelmafia and parallel kingdom. On ics on the vivid I am getting some kind of skipping lag. And its only on that game. Maybe someone can help and try to figure the issue. I also called HTC support they attempted with same issue.

If I've got this right, if I unlock the HTC One through the HTCdev site, I will not be able to get OTA updates and that with S-on we can't flash radios.
Does this mean that unlocked devices are stuck for now on version 1 of the radio software? I ask this because other handsets have benefitted from radio updates. Or can a radio update be applied using a RUU?
Thanks in advance.

If your using a custom Rom, you can wait for the developer to update the rom. Or you can restore your phone back to stock with bootloader relocked and do a OTA update.

I can't remember what HTC Dev site says about updates after being unlocked, but if you're unlocked you're probably going for root, S-OFF and want to use a custom ROM, and rooted custom ROMs shouldn't be upgraded OTA or by official updates.
Yes, you need to be S-OFF to flash radios.
However, you will always be able to get the updates on XDA, so don't worry about missing out on anything!

The OP has a point. Right now there's no way you can get S-OFF so you can't unofficially flash radios. And you can't update also while unlocked so you can't flash radios officially. Anybody here with experience with the One series could enlighten us here how they deal with this? I'm not sure yet with the relocking of the bootloader as I came from a Sony device and as far as I know relocking bootloader & flashing OTA = Permanent Brick.
Plus the other problem is that on the One X, if you were fully updated, they patched the only method of getting S-off. So it was a choice, don't accept any update while still S-on or remain on current official software and possibly risk loosing the chance to S-off later.

I'm pretty sure you have got it figured out. If you are unlocked, you cannot take any OTAs that contain the software updates along with firmware updates (radio etc). You will have to RUU back to stock and then take the OTA.
I don't think it would be wise to relock with a custom ROM and take the OTA, that might mess a lot of things up.
Yeah, I've got the problem figured out unlock=no radio updates.
It's the solution I was looking for...

So I wanted to root my htc one and install a custom rom on it and everything went wrong. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, installed superuser. I then tried to install android revolution hd 12.1. after installing it from sd card it said that my device was not rooted and it rebooted and now i am stuck on the bootloader screen. I cannot try and install the rom again due to all my data being wiped somehow and I have relocked the bootloader and tried to run the ruu to return to stock but it says I need the correct ruu i updated to 1.31. someone please help!!!
It is loading to the "htc quite brilliant" screen and it wont go no farther, I can still get into bootloader and recovery though
Sprint Htc One issues
I am having a very similar issue! I just want to be able to use my phone whether stock or rooted now. Help!!!!!!
If you can access the boot loader, unlock it again then use TWRP's sideload feature to flash the ROM. Or you can probably find. The correct RUU in the sprint one forum.
AT&T HTC One
BaadNewz's InsertCoin 3.0-7
Flar2's Bulletproof 3.4
Once you guys get your phone's fixed, make sure to flash a sprint compatible Rom. Android revolution hd isn't compatible for our phones yet

Seriously. The number of people who've managed to put themselves in this situation is staggering. We may just want to have a PSA sticky that says not to flash that ROM.
OP, you should at the least put your phone into fastboot because an RUU will not run with the bootloader open, but I'm not sure if there's a new RUU available for the latest OTA.
Fortunately you are not bricked try out this tool it makes your recovery so much easier http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236814 with this you can flash a recovery and sideload a rom, you might have to also click the download HTC drivers as well. Make sure you sideload a SPRINT compatible Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2219. GL!
So find a Sprint Rom you like and download it, then from bootloader you can use this tool and sideload a rom and flash a recovery.
Ive got it to install a rom, i installed viperrom. After i did that and it boots up it says I have no service and the phone will reboot on its own. what do i do now?
You will likely have to RUU back to stock. The non Sprint Rom probable buggered the partitions or the baseband. Look in android development to find the RUU file you need. I don't think you can use the older one if you got the recent OTA.

Thats what I want to do go back to stock. Do you know where the ruu for 1.31 is?
I can't find it. I heard it was out there in a thread recently. Here is the older one though. That may work, I haven't tried though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
I haven't explored it myself, but I saw anecdotal posts stating that they were able to use the older RUU.

what do you mean?
Might have to wait for the RUU file to drop then. Coming from Samsung devices for a long time, I'm used to being able to use Odin to go back to older factory firmware without issue. It's a bummer. Maybe someone more versed will have better info.

Does the Non-Sprint HTC One threads say "Sprint"? No.
Are the Sprint HTC One forums labeled "Sprint"? Yes.
Do nearly all the ROM threads in the non-Sprint forums say something along the line of "not for Sprint variant" including the revolution HD thread (all US carriers apart from Sprint)? Yes.
Just take a minute to read through the thread before flashing something. I mean, this is an expensive device where messing with system level files CAN ruin it (obviously) So, don't go jumping into stuff if you aren't going to take the time to understand it.

Thank you, could you elaborate a little more? Ive been stuck since last night. I am able to install roms from recovery but once I do the phone keeps rebooting and saying no service
The thread I listed gives everything to get you back up and running,,the GSM Rom you flashed screwed up your partitions,file structure is different from our Sprint edition Ones,,that thread is in general section,

Thank you! I am going to try that now! i appreciate the help, I just want to be up and running again
I thought that fix is just to remove the 4.2.2 multi user sd card issue. I don't think that'll fix your baseband issue. Might be wrong though...

They are two totally different things.
The bootloader needs to be unlocked for us to do basic modification of the device. This includes things like installing a custom recovery and a custom ROM.
S-off is not needed for either of those things. S-off stands for security checking. With S-off you can do things like flash modified hboots, modified splash screens, install custom or pre-release firmware or radios plus much more. However if you don't know what you are doing then s-off can be risky as the security checking is there to make sure you can only flash things that will work without issues on your device. Turning it off simply allows to skip the security checking and flash what we want as they assume you know what you are doing.
Hope that helps.
Ill stay on the safe side and keep it s-ON

Hi everyone, going to be giving my friend my One but want to change it back to stock. I want her to able take the 4.3 update when it comes with no problems. All help and directions are appreciated, thanks!
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium App
I'm going to give some vague instructions that worked for me.
1) s-off your boot loader (revone)
2) run the exe ruu 1.29.
3) once you're back on stock follow the revone instructions to s-on.
Sorry for not providing more information. Good luck

I'm already s off. If I run the ruu I will then be stock s off and can receive the ota updates?
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium App
Yes. I'd leave it s-off. It won't hurt anything. Make sure the stock recovery is back after you run the ruu.
