Hello guys, I tried the new GPE 4.4 rom flashing the RUU, and I am pretty disappointed on this update...so I decided to return back to sense...
1) A 4.3 sense 5.5 RUU zip would be great, I searched for it but I can't find nothing, anyone?
2) OR...what if I flash a sense rom on top of the 3.58 GPE firmware? is this correct to do? have I got to flash the radio?
3) OR, again...if there is no RUU and I can't flash a sense rom with radio on KK fw, I think I have to flash 3.62 fw with radio and a rom...no?
I like clean things, because of this I ask for a RUU, is better wipe everything and clean flash...all in one and ready to go...thanks in advance!
Cheers

The firmware and radio is mainly for stability issues and some optimizations. if your device is s-OFF you can flash new roms doesn't matter if they are sense 5.5 or aosp or gpe editions. If you want to return back to 3.64 fw hboot 1.55 you can find that in the RUU mega thread in the HTC One Android sticky section. when flashing the RUU make sure you have super CID or flash the correct versions or else it will not let you force flash it.
If you convert to Developer Edition (3.22.1540.1), you will have 4.3 and Sense 5, but 4.4 with Sense 5.5 will be released as an OTA update in a few days. I'm sure OP knows better than to use superCID. It will prevent you from receiving OTA updates. Always use the proper CID for the firmware you're using (unless it's a custom ROM or something that you wouldn't want to do an OTA on). If you convert to the International version (3.62.401.1), you will have 4.3 with Sense 5.5, but be waiting until January for the Android 4.4 update. There's no real difference between the two. They're both world-wide variants, but the Developer Edition gets updated well before any others.
For Dev Edition, change CID to BS_US001
For International, change CID to HTC__001
For Dev Edition, MID must be PN712000
For International, MID must be PN710000
To flash from GPE, you may need to downgrade your Bootloader first. It was a nightmare for me getting off of GPE until I figured that part out. I assume you're already S-Off. Sneakyghost provided 1.44 bootloader can be downloaded here http://d-h.st/qfc

Hello! I flashed the stock google play edition 4.3 rom on my HTC One. My old rom was the stock htc sense 5.0 which I got with the phone. What I want to know is that will I receive updates automatically from my phone if 4.4 comes out on HTC One when it is released and that etc... Because I'm scared I'll need to do it via PC. Basically, if you still don't understand, on my HTC One when I first got it, I could perform a software update from the phone, can I do that with the stock Google play edition rom 4.3 if an update comes out from my phone or do I need to do it through my computer? Thanks in advance!

If you do not have stock recovery, you will not get OTA's. If your bootloader is unlocked, you won't get OTA's. If your CID and MID don't match that of the GPe device, you won't get OTA's while you're running a GPe build.
To get OTA's, your CID and MID must match with the version of software you're running (if you have an ATT CID, MID, and stock build, you have stock recovery and your bootloader is locked you will get ATT OTAs - OR you changed your CID and MID to that of the GPe device, and you're running a stock GPe build with stock recovery and locked bootloader and you will get GPe OTAs)

Pardon me for my lack of intellience and ignorance, but what the hell is that? I know OTA is over the air, but what is CID and MID and how do I know if they match? All I know is that I have a stock recovery but my bootloader is unlocked. Do I lock it and I just get OTAs or do I need to do something else? I'm super confused at this moment of time. Please feed me with more of your knowledge! How'd I find out the CID and MID?
EDIT: Also, how do I check my GPe to see if it the same as the CID or MID? Please, I don't want to go online and do it via a zip file etc.. I just want to update OTA!
Hello all,
Currently on Lollipop 5.0.1 stock, flash via the OTA update as I had previously converted to GPE.
I am s-off and have super cid.
I wish to go back to Sense 4.4.3 which I believe was the last release? As I am super cid I can flash an ruu from any region, whichever rom offers me Sense 6/KK 4.4.3?
If so, can anyone point me to a reliable ruu that is know to work as I have tried one or two executable ruus which have caused errors during the process, where as running a JB exe works fine. Problem then is I have to manually update the JB rom to KK which takes forver.
THanks.

I've been on Lollipop GPE ruu for a few days but now gone back to Sense (one of the few I guess!!!). I had to go all the way back to JB 4.1 ruu as anything more recent would not install either through a flashable ruu zip or exe.
Anyway, that's not the query I have.
To get back to Sense 6 and a 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 rom, is there an easier way than having to use system update and load every OTA through the phone? This is going to take me hours as there are six or seven large OTAs between 4.1 and 4.4.3.
I am s-off, super cid and downgraded to hboot 1.44 before I flashed the Sense Europe ruu.
Thanks.
restore 4.4.3 nandroid stock in TWRP, and flash its related firmware in RUU mode.
Thanks for that, now that was simple and easier than hours of OTAs through the phone!
I'd like convert my HTC One M7 5.0.1 back to Sense. Is this possible using an RUU file. What are the steps involved?
Done it a few times. Depends on your CID, I changed mine to supercid so that I can use most regions.
Change hboot to 1.44 (not 100% sure if is a must or not but I do!)
Flash Sense ruu with fastboot. You might need an old Jellybean release first.
Flash custom recovery
flash root (supersu or whatever)
Flash custom rom to upgrade to Kitkat or stock rom
Flash latest firmware to update radio etc.
That's pretty much it.

I just wanted to say thank you. I didn't realize it but I thought I could flash any RUU for any carrier so long as I had the correct CID. Turns out you can't do that as the firmware and etc are different for each carrier. I bought a TELUS carrier HTC ONE but it was unlocked and I use on Rogers. I needed the Stock ROM RUU for Telus. Worked like a charm.
Thanks again
Anyone know where I can find a stock Lollipop Sense ruu that I can flash to restore an M7 back to stock?
Previously I have been using a euro JB based ruu from htc1guru, but it's a pain starting out on Jellybean, and upgrading from there but that website only goes up to a Kitkat radio for a euro base ruu, and even then I ran into issue flashing kitkat ruu.
I am super CID and s-off of course. I always flash 1.44 hboot prior to doing the above.
I need the zip by the way, not an exe as I am running linux on my laptop.
Thanks.

HI bob, look at the sticky threads in the general section. Don't forget that you need at least hboot 1.57 and a 6.xx.xxx.x firmware (version-main) to flash a Lollipop RUU.
