[DEV][Solved]Need advanced help with HBOOT... Unique S-Off situation

Hey guys... Ok I am in a very unique situation. I was recently testing to get 4.2.2 ROMs to work on sprint with a kernel...
Well, it ended up not working, and a few things ended up getting jittery. So i relocked bootloader, did a fastboot oem rebootRUU, and went ahead and ruu'd the phone. Here is where it gets weird...
After the RUU finished succesfully, I went into bootloader, and it showed "RELOCKED S-OFF", and figured that cant be good, so i proceeded to do a fastboot oem writesecureflag 3, and re-relocked via RevONE. Bootloader now showed "LOCKED S-ON", so RUU'd again. Now, my CID is still unlocked which has nothing to do with hboot i know. Either way, I did the fastboot flash unlocktoken......, and got HTCDEV unlocked. I then proceed to unlock via RevONE with all successful. I even flashed the boot_unsecure.img (kernel) on the stock RUU rom.
Bootloader shows "UNLOCKED S-OFF"... But I am not S-Off, simply my flag shows it. I cannot flash a different hboot, nor can i flash a radio (and yes i tried flashing within rebootRUU). It gives me the stupid "remote - not allowed".
Would there be a way to DD the mmcblk? Does anyone on an ENG S-Off bootloader have the mmcblk partition number? Mine does not show the hboot label... cat /proc/emmc.
Anyone ideas? Moonshine does not work either.
Update... MMCBLK0P12 hboot
Solved
Lol that was easy... Just had to do a low level overwrite (DD) to an ENG hboot, so that i could then truely S-Off, and flash other hboots and radios... sheesh...

Just out of curisosity, could anyone explain why that happened? What made the security flag change?
Also, why did you say "this cannot be good" when you saw "RELOCKED S-OFF"? Were you S-OFF to begin with? You can lock the bootloader and still remain S-Off, correct?

Yes, but I figured that while it was relocked, it would overwrite the hboot to stock if I RUU'd, thus making the flag S-On. however, this needed to be manually done with fastboot apparently.
Tbh, I think this all started from a ROM flash, it was an international ROM, and I hadn't bothered to check to know the partition layouts were different. Kernel ended up flashing to recovery, and system almost went to radio, lol idk how it didn't brick.... but yea.

Oh, so you were more concerned that it said relocked than S-OFF. S-OFF was bolded so I thought you were saying "Uh oh" to the S-Off.

[Q] Re-locked, s-on, Security Warning, and cannot boot into Recovery. My options?

Hi guys.
First time posting, but have used the site extensively over the past 6-8 months. I have an AT&T HTC One. I had unlocked it, s-off, rooted, installed GPe, and decided to go back. The ROM I went back to was supposed to be MY stock ROM, but it turns out it was unbranded 4.2.2. I thought nothing of it, and as of yesterday, had sold my phone on ebay. I decided to wipe my phone to get ready to ship. I locked my bootloader and went to s-on, but when I went to factory reset, I got a "security warning" and it won't reboot into recovery. I've tried everything- tried to re-unlock it with htcdev, which freezes at the bootloader. I've tried to unlock via revone, since I still have root (root checker verified this to be the case), but get the -6 error when using terminal emulator in ROM Toolbox, and get the same error when doing it via adb commands. I've tried probably 50 different things about 10 different times, and am about to pull my hair out! I've read and searched probably hundreds of threads over the past 24 hours. Trying to flash stock RUU (the exe) just freezes as well. Any help would be appreciated! Let me know what info you need from me.

I have (almost) the same problem as OP: bootloader (HBOOT 1.44) shows "locked", "tampered" and "S-ON". The radio is apparently broken and I want a new unit, so I installed mike1986's "stock 4.2.2" ROM, because htc1guru.com is broken and androidruu.com apparently has corrupt RUU downloads (every RUU I've tried fails miserably, and extracted rom.zips don't work either). It's rooted, with SuperSU. I relocked and S-ONed the bootloader with revone, but then found a stock backup and tried to unlock/S-OFF so I could install TWRP back.
Unfortunately for me (and OP), revone -P fails with error -6. revone -s 0 -u fails with error -1. revone -t reports success, but the tampered flag remains there. Trying to flash TWRP with a market app freezes Android. Trying to unlock the bootloader with HTCDev reports success in fastboot, but the unlock prompt never shows up, and the bootloader freezes.
Read again: revone fails. That guide, as well as the other 4 or so similar ones floating around, are useless in this case.
If anyone has any ideas (or an HTC EastEurope RUU download that doesn't fail), I'm open to hearing them.

What's the date of your hboot? If it's after May 2013, it might be a patched version (applies to AT&T and T-Mobile), otherwise revone will work.
Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431515 for the prerequisites to get S-Off.
Try that, and report back and we'll go from there.
PS: keep S-Off, no need to ever to back S-On even for repair because some devices are shipped S-Off. The repair center can't prove you've done anything to your phone, unless they see "LOCKED / RELOCKED / TAMPERED"

Bootloader date is May 3, 2013. It's a downloaded "stock unmodified" 1.44 HBOOT. I'm not in the US.
On the other hand, I'm on a 4.2.2 ROM right now. Should I try to downgrade? If yes, can anyone point me in the direction of an HTC RUU that actually works? (CID is HTC__032)

May 3 is good, revone should work. If it's not working on your ROM now, try downgrading to a 4.1.2 ROM to try to make it work.

I downloaded a 1.20.401 RUU (should be 4.1.2, probably), and I am on mike1986's odexed ROM right now. I'd downgrade, but how? I can't install a custom recovery.
Edit: RUU exited with a "bootloader version error". Could I have downloaded a corrupt HBOOT or something? revone gave success messages about five times now, but the bootloader still says "LOCKED" and "S-ON".

Hi Andy,
I just re-read your original post, and am getting a bit confused cause you said "bootloader (HBOOT 1.44) shows "locked", "tampered" and "S-ON"." you mean RELOCKED?
Probably best if you post your "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and serial number) , full details of the ROM you're using, and a screenshot of your bootloader.
As for "HTCDev reports success in fastboot, but the unlock prompt never shows up", maybe you should try the process from the beginning again and get a new unlocktocken.

I did mean "locked". I used revone -l to restore the lock status. On the other hand, now I accidentally installed HBOOT 1.54 instead (figured the bootloader may be broken and installed a 2.24 firmware package). I tried HTCDev Unlock twice (the whole process), and it... still doesn't work. To be more specific, fastboot flash unlocktoken reports success, but the next fastboot command, whatever that may be (getvar, reboot, etc), errors out with something to the effect of "could not load custom splash". Trying to flash any sort of different HBOOT (older/newer) complains about signatures, or maybe that's just my downloads.
Of course, revone doesn't work with 1.54, so I'm pretty much ****ed. Might as well take the damn thing back to Orange.

Sometimes a factory reset can help with the unlock token, but since you're on 1.54 now it would make little difference.
Sorry & good luck

Yep. I'm in exactly the same boat. Actually, I am on 1.44 HBOOT, dated May 3rd, and none of the available options worked. And yes, I've tried the links included in subsequent posts. And I'm "locked" via same way as above. Since I was selling the phone and trying to revert to stock, my only option was to manually erase everything and send it off. I couldn't do a factory reset, because it just kicked me to bootloader with a "security warning" error. Couldn't install older RUU, as it would just hang at the HTC black screen with no green progress bar.

Same problem
Hey guys, I have a same problem, and I'm pissed off and depressed :crying:
I tried GPE, but then I wanted to go back to Sense, and then everything went wrong. I have HBOOT 1.54, S-ON, RELOCKED, TAMPERED. I can't unlock the bootloader, although cmd writes that writing was successful, and the phone still says "RELOCKED". I can't get to system and recovery because always get into bootloader with the message "Security Warning". I can't upload any RUU, recovery, nothing ... always cmd writes "failed", in case RUU (1.28.401.7 - my regional which should work) writes "Error 155".
Please guys, help me. I do not know what to do and I'm clueless.

[Q] Ran RUU - Now have S-OFF w\Relocked Bootloader

Would appreciate some advice before I move forward ....
I was running ViperOne 4.2.0 happily, albeit on a very old firmware version.
However on trying to flash a current firmware it failed with "FAILED (status read failed (too many links))" which left me stuck with the silver HTC on a black screen with the 4 warning triangles in each corner.
I then downloaded and flashed this: "RUU M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.28.401.7 Radio 4A.13.3231.27 10.31.1131.05 Release 310878 Signed" which got me back up and running ......
However, my current bootloader info is:

So you've done an RUU , and it got stuck in the RUU screen?
Try "fastboot oem restart*
Then boot intro bootloader.
Download CMW/TWRP
then flash the recovery
Turn Adb-sideload on in recovery, use adb sideload to install ViperRom again.

No, the RUU finshed fine and it rebooted back into the stock ROM with stock recovery, however when I try to flash recovery (twrp 2.6.3.3) it fails with:
"FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
Is this due to the bootloader being "Relocked"? If so, any idea how to Unlock it again .... I used HTC Dev to initially unlock it way back when and rumrunners to get S-OFF
Thanks for the help!

You can do what nkk71 has suggested or unlock using htcdev by generating a new unlock key.

When you run an RUU, i assume your bootloader has been locked, so if RUU is succesfull, your bootloader is currently locked/relocked.
Go to the HTC dev email you´ve received with the Unlock_code.bin . but this in your folder with adb & fastboot. Go into fastboot mode, and execute : ¨fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin¨
If you havn´t got this email anymore, go to the htcdev website and request your unlock code again as you did unlocking.
Then install TWRP/CMW, flash youŕe preffered rom
EDIT: Just read the other posts, use revone as
nkk71 suggested. Otherwise read up on the revone thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582

As suggested, I used my original HTC Dev token to successfully unlock the bootloader from it's "Relocked" state.
Then I was able to flash TWRP and reflash ViperOne ... So I'm back to where I started from thankfully!
The only problem I'm having is getting the right PC drivers installed to connect the phone to transfer files ...... That's going to have to wait until tomorrow now as it's late here!
Thanks to everyone for the help and advice

[Q] How to update from 4.3 to 4.4?

Hello all,
I am new on this forum and i am total noob so I need Your help.
I have HTC One (m7). My phone was locked, and I send it to service to unlocked it to another network carrier. They unlocked it for me but recovery is now CWM 6.0.4.8. I want to update to 4.4 but OTA wont work. How to update to stock recovery and than update OTA? Or how to update with CWM? I found some tutorial on youtube how to change from cwm to twrp (because most of custom roms flash with twrp), but cmd saying some error. I only want 4.4 rom, stock or custom, it doesn't even matter to me. I read some threads but is just to complicated to me and I wont brick my phone. Thank You .
This is cmd error:
C:\Users\Intel\Desktop\recovery\platform-tools>fastboot devices

What is your HBOOT version?
fastboot flash recovery openrecovvery works only on older HBOOTs (1.44 I think). You can flash a recovery by using the fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

BTW, if they unlocked the device for a different carrier, going back to stock will revert you the the original carrier before.

Just follow [GUIDE] How to Return to 100% Stock, it has a link to RUU's. Going the RUU route will return you back to stock so you can run the OTA without trouble.

But if I flash stock, phone will bi locked to original carrier? I want to flash over this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 but in section "Flashing custom recovery" saying Your bootloader needs to be "UNLOCKED". "LOCKED" or "RELOCKED" bootloaders can't flash custom recovery and mine phone saying RELOCKED...

If you are set on your new carrier then you need to make sure that your MID is the same as the new carrier. You have SuperCID so you can flash any RUU. If you find your new carrier's RUU when you run it the end results will be stock in your new carrier. There is a tool that you can run to change your bootloader locked or unlock status to what you need it to be. Take a look at this guide (nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock) it will provide you with both background information and links. Once you get to stock in the carrier of your choice, update OTA then decide if you want to root, custom recovery and custom roms.

Recovery:
You need an unlocked bootloader if you want to flash recovery using the ''fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img'' command
like @majmoz said, you can unlock/lock/relock bootloarder using the htc guru bootloader reset tool from custom recovery or via HTCdev.com
now for the RUU part:
because your phone is S-OFF you can flash any ruu (intended for your phone model only: M7_UL). You must make sure both your MID and CID match the ruu you want to use. CID can easily be changed using this command from bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid YOUR_CID [COLOR="Red"]<----- 8 characters exactly, in most cases, 2 underscores i.e HTC__001[/COLOR]
then you can change your MID (if required) using this tool from custom recovery.

the only way your phone can turn back to s-on is if you enter the right command manually "fastboot writesecureflag 3"
S-OFF will never turn back to S-ON by itself

Thank you for the quick reply.

running into a problem
First time back with an HTC since the nexus one. so bear with my on the of the HTC exclusive setting, options and what not.
I keep getting an error code "FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)" when i try and flash the ROM, I get the error code in the same spot i would get an error the first time I ran the code. this is a different code than what he said I would get. any direction on what i need to change is greatly appreciated!
Here is the code i get --------------------------------
Tanners-MacBook-Pro:Mac Tanner$ ./fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-4.4.2-3.62.1700.1_Rooted.zip

That might be a corrupted download. Did you try redownloading it?

I may have actually found the problem. This phone is all sorts of messed up, when i got it, it had a custom ROM, (Which was stuck on the HTC Logo), a CWM recovery, but still S-ON.
I have ran firewater and Revone methods to turn S-Off. The first time i ran it is said successful, but I never bothered to confirm.
I got it working and i was able to grant root access to applications but their were reboots ever 1-2 minutes. so i flashed a new ROM.
now, i have a working ROM (still have the random reboots), SuperSU tells me i need to update my binaries, and i still have S-ON.
I am sure they are all related, and my main goal is to get S-OFF, but i don't know how. i should quit messing around with HTC and just stick with what i know, the Nexus phones.

you indeed need s-off to flash this ruu and you'll (maybe) have to change your cid/mid to match the android-info.txt file packed in that ruu.
Achieving s-off on hboot 1.44 is simple:
flash ARHD 31.6 (this rom is pre-rooted and have the correct unsecured kernel for the s-off exploit to work)
Then follow instructions from Revone thread.
when s-off is acheived, confirm that your cid and mid match the android-info.txt file of the ruu (or change CID/MID so they match)
Flash the ruu in RUU mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
fastboot reboot
Never s-on and relock bootloader when using GPE

Can I just flash the newest firmware? Or there is a different firmware for gpe?

htc one m7 convert GPE questions.
htc one m7
model pn07100
android 4.3
htc sense 5.0
hboot 1.55
unlocked
I want to convert my m7 to a GPE. before i do anything to my phone ,I have a few questions to ask...
i want to install the RUU-HTC_One_GE-4.4-3.62.1700.1.zip rom (non rooted) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
- does that mean i dont need to root my phone if im flashing the non rooted rom?
- my device is unlocked but in the bootloader is says that its locked in the menu. does that mean i still have to unlock the bootloader? is there a difference between having an unlocked phone and having an unlocked bootloader?
- do i need to install sync manager and install drivers for my phone?
- will i be able to receive updates from google OTA? do i need to flash stock recovery in order to receive OTA updates from google?
- how would i back up my stock rom (android 4.1.2 w/ htc sense 5.0) if i decide to go back.
- after the flash will i have to re-install all my apps?
thanks.

S-off mandatory
Hello, is absolutely essential s-off? If the device is only unlocked bootloader via HTCdev? The procedure will fail completely?

i installed the google play edition for htc one m7 4.4.2 rom. how do i add/remove panels? i dont see any personalize settings in the menu? i've tried a search and no results.

graphic glitches
I have successfully converted my phone to GPE4.4.2 using the exact methods. There is no problem with that. Problem started once I did an OTA to update it with 4.4.3 where there are graphic glitches on the status bar and the bottom part of the screen. Also the power off panel won't appear after pressing (holding) the power button. Anyone suffered this? any solutions?
Edited : Problem solved by changing phone's CID. I can't change the RUU android-info's CID because the glitch would be there as the OTA's CID is GOOGL001.

Sprint?
Hey guys, does this RUU work with Sprint yet?

when upgrade to lollipop
have this problem: mount failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p037 at /data device or resource busy
how to solve it ?
in 4.4.4, stuck recovery, unrooted

It doesn't affect anything. Just let it keep going. The update takes a while because it is using the older patch method.

recovery
where can I find stock recovery for gpe rom 4.4.4/4.9.1700.1 thanks in advance

wrong cid make sure your cid is compatible with the ruu
