All right, here comes a noob question:
My HTC One is from Israel, and though I made a nandroid backup of my phone after I rooted it, I don't have one from before my rooting it. That said, my CID was HTC__K18...there is no RUU for that CID, so I used rumrunner to s-off my phone, changed my CID to HTC__01 and used the European RUU (the U not the UL because my phone is a U) to get %100 back to stock. The RUU that I flashed has a hboot of 1.44 and my stock was already a 1.54 and 4.2.2 (maybe 4.1.2?)...anyway after flashing the RUU, I'm not able to OTA and I really just want to get %100 stock...in a way that I'd be capable of receiving all the updates OTA and have the highest firmware/software. Thanks in advance!
Oh, and here's some of my info:
version-bootloader: 1.44.0000 (it shipped with 1.54 but I RUUed an older version)
version-baseband: 4A.14.3250.13
version-main: 1.29.401.2 (it shipped with 2.24.401.2)
version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF (used rumrunner to s-off hboot of 1.54)
product: m7_u
platform: HBOOT-8064
modelid: PN0711000
cidnum: HTC__001 (I changed the cid from HTC__k18)

Question: where do you want to go?
1- To an European stock model
2- To your version (I have a nandroid of 2.24.401.2 for a PN0711000, M7_U)

Whatever would give me OTA updates and allow me to be as stock as possible! Just out of curiosity, what would the benefits of each be? Thank you!

LOL, this just resulted in another question: why not use a custom ROM, they get updated way more frequently than OTAs? If you want "stock as possible" you can check out ARHD, it's very stock. (and since you're S-Off you can upgrade/downgrade anytime, including firmware!!)
As for benefits of the other two options:
1) I think HTC__001 (or was it Y13, not sure), are usually among the first WWE editions to get OTAs (not as fast as custom ROMs )
2) HTC_K18 would put you back to a state where you bought the phone.
It's all personal choice, eg I like stock but want it rooted so I'm currently running ARHD 13.3 (until I decide to upgrade), others like their Venom Tweaks or InsertCoin etc... and again for others they need to be unrooted because of some banking apps.
So give it a thought and let me know, which road you wanna take
PS: Hit the thanks button if I helped

Thank you for the quick reply!
Okay, so I'd like to go with the European road...as far as custom ROMs are concerned, I had ARHD, both GE and Sense, but I just want things to run smoothly and not worry about OTAs....I'd like to receive them as soon as they're available with the least amount of headache...
On that note, can I receive OTA updates directly from HTC while I'm s-off? Because currently I don't have that option...it doesn't even show that I have an update available.
Also, is your nandroid of 2.24.401.2 made with cid HTC__k18?
P.s. I don't even need/want to root the phone again...it's just too much for me. I'd like to get as stock as possible while keeping the options open (that's why I want to leave s-off).
Thank you again for your help! You're awesome!

Ok, European road
1- You've already changed your CID, you still need to change your MID: "fastboot oem writemid PN0710000"
(keep a record of your original CID, MID, and software/firmware version somewhere in case you ever need it)
2- remove tampered either using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
3- set your phone to LOCKED (not relocked) using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
4- then use the full European RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
you should keep S-Off and not go back S-On.
After installing the RUU you should immediately start receiving OTAs all the way up to 3.62
PS: remember the above procedure will wipe everything off your phone, so back up anything you may need first!!

You're awesome. However, I did all those steps except for the first step...when I go into recovery mode now, there's still the red lettering as well as when I go into "Tell HTC and error reporting" the red lettering says "This is a test device. Accordingly, to collect critical information about the device, Tell HTC is enabled and cannot be turned off regardless of device settings." Oh, and I'm not able to receive the OTAs.
Now, if I change the MID, do I need to do all the steps again or can I just do the first step now? Will that help get rid of the "test device" warnings that I have on the phone?
Oh, and I used this European one before (cause I have a U and not UL) http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/
Why would I use the UL one?
Thank you again for you time and help!

You won't get any OTAs because of your MID, change it, and see if you start getting the OTAs. M7_U and M7_UL share pretty much most of the software stuff, the hardware is different of course, but MID 0711 and CID HTC__001 won't get any OTAs.
The "Tell HTC and error reporting" red text is because you're S-Off, personally I wouldn't care. But if it bothers you A LOT, you'll need to go S-On again, and AT THIS TIME you should NOT!!! we can deal with that later.
Change MID, and confirm you are now getting OTAs
Again DO NOT GO S-ON, at least for the time being!!

Let's slow it down a little, if I understand correctly:
1- you are now unTAMPERED
2- you are now LOCKED, not RElocked or UNlocked
3- you have CID: HTC__001
4- you have MID: PN0711000
5- you ran the RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/
6- you are still S-Off (please!)
If all of the above are true, when you go to Settings->About->Software Update (or whatever it's called), does it show an update? or what does it say
EDIT: can you repost a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n)

Before we go on messing with MID, can you just change CID to HTC__J15 (two underscores) and check for a software update, don't know the original 1.xx version, but I am sure that J15 PN0711 got the 2.24.401.2 and (possibly) 2.24.401.9.
Just check if it gives an update with HTC__J15, no need to download it!!

Hey, how are you today?
I'll be online later (around 5 or 6), but it looks like that RUU is fully compatible with ur original CID. So go ahead with your original CID, and get the OTAs. U should be able to get at least to 2.24.401.9, don't know if 3.62 is out for u yet.
Keep s-off in case we need to change something later.
C u later...

Hey, no the RUU is not compatible with my original CID (HTC__K18) as there are no available upgrades after I change the CID...also the same is true when I change it to HTC__001, though it did work when you told me to update to J something or other...weird.

Well I guess you have 2 choices:
1- set CID to HTC__J15 -> a friend of mine has PN0711000 HTC__J15, it's basically the M7_U version and HTC__J15 is a nonbranded WWE edition but usually for the Middle East
2- set CID to HTC__001, set MID to PN0710000, and use this RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
by changing to MID PN0710000, it will make the software on your phone think it's a UL model, but since the hardware isn't there for LTE, it won't make any difference.
Step 1, is probably the easiest to do, so why not just set it to J15 and see how far the updates go. (ie if 3.62 is out for J15).
Hope that helps

Hello guys,
I recently got my HTC One, and I don't know how or why, but it turned out to be a Mexican version, with CID HTC__332 (in the middle of Europe none the less!). So I updated to Android 4.3 with Sense 5.0 (OTA), and have been waiting for the Sense 5.5 update for more than 2 months now (not to mention KitKat, which I'll probably never get).
Anyway, I got tired of waiting and decided to get superCID and force it to update. But since it's my first time with this phone I'd really hate to mess it up, so please help me if you can:
I've read up on almost everything regarding the process, so I know I need to:
1. unlock the bootloader (with HTC dev site)
2. root the phone (it seems there's no other way but with installing a custom recovery)
3. get s-off with rumrunner (if it works with this weird HTC__332 CID od mine)
4. change to superCID
5. restore stock recovery
6. update with FOTA
Now, what I don't know is what do I do if something goes wrong and the phone won't boot, or goes into a bootloop, or something like that?
I've installed custom ROMs on my old Xperia U20i before, so I always had CWM backups, but even if they failed I could bring back the phone with the SE Update Service. HTC doesn't seem to have such a program... the closest thing I could find were those RUUs, but I'm not sure which one (if any) is for my phone I've also seen lots of stock recoveries around, but I'm not sure which one I'd need to flash for the OTA update to work.
So, looking at the info from my phone below, can you tell me which RUU and stock recovery I need?
Also, and this is the most important, is there a way for me to just back up everything (nandroid) including my stock recovery, with just an unlocked bootloader*, so I have a failsafe?
(* as I understand it, rooting requires a custom recovery, so I loose the stock one)

I just went through this a couple days ago with someone
go here and read pages 2-5 and see if you understand or still have questions read it all before moving on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593387&page=2
Thanks for your answer clsA!
I don't know how I missed that thread, I've been searching for HTC__332 and that damned version number all over :$
So, having read that, I'd say I'll first need to:
1. unlock my bootloader
2. root (and flash a custom recovery, TWRP 2.6.3.3)
* 2.5 create nandroid backup
* 2.5.5 get files for rumrunner version for this software
3. install ARHD (31.6, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023)
4. get s-off with rumrunner (0.50)
And after that's all done, come back, re-read and do the more-likely-to-cause-a-heartattack-part, right?
Just a couple more questions before I try and do this:
1. There's no stock recovery image available for my phone, so after flashing the custom recovery I won't be able to go back to stock recovery and receive ota updates (if they ever even come)?
2. Will rumrunner work with ARHD 41.0? Or, will ARHD 41.0 install and run normally on my phone? In case I can't finish the process correctly, it would be comforting to know I can still have the latest and greatest software on my phone

yes after the conversion to .401 you will have a EU device and can update and flash all the new roms as they come out.
make note of the 2 links posted about changing your MID / CID their important steps in the whole process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535365
this guide by @nkk71 is a good source of information your just doing a few things differently
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
OK, so part one is going mostly smoothly for now - unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, backed up (uploading for sharing) + saved partitions for rumrunner if I end up needing them (also uploading), had a few bootloops but managed to get ARHD 31.6 running. Now onto rumrunner...
I got S-OFF with rumrunner in the first try! Now to re-read and change CID and MID (4:40 AM, fingers crossed, heart pounding)
I'm sorry for this, but some of the posts are confusing and a bit contradictory, so I need to confirm this:
1. set super CID with
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Is that the correct CID? Is that the correct number of 1s (8? from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536)?
2.set MID with MID_Change_TOOL_v.1.01 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535365)
3. Now what, do I:
3.1 run RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe?
OR
3.2 downgrade to HBOOT 1.44 with (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082):
If you’re on hboot which is above 1.44, then first thing is to downgrade that:
so download this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/1-29-401-12_hboot_1-44-zip/
in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash it:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip <---- just in case the above said “failed flush again”
fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> and confirm hboot is now 1.44

I'm a bit scared, so please bare with me, and if this is completely wrong please point me in the right direction.
Also, will I have a relocked-untampered-S-ON device after running the RUU, or will that part be left as it is (unlocked-tampered-S-OFF)? I don't think I'll need to be S-OFF after this, and don't mind the red texts in fastboot, so is there anything else I'll need to do after the RUUinstall, or just go and get the FOTA update?

Almost
1- change you MID to PN071000 using the tool
2- with SuperCID you cannot receive OTAs, so you need to change CID to European unbranded, there are several (this will affect the country/language options): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48195855&postcount=98 (instructions are also in that post)
so for example, if you wanted Eastern European languages you would need to set CID to HTC__032
3- since you're on hboot 1.55, you need to downgrade that separately to 1.44
4- you can leave the phone UNLOCKED, and even TAMPERED, but if you prefer to set them LOCKED and remove TAMPERED you can follow my guide.
5- run the RUU you mentioned
6- KEEP S-OFF!!
OTAs will not be affected by unlocked bootloader, or S-Off
let me know if you need more details
Ok, so the correct order is:
1. change MID
2. change CID
3. downgrade HBOOT
4. run RUU
Thanks!

yep, that works!
don't want to confuse you , but 1 2 and 3 can be run in any order, most important is to do run the ruu as last step, once the ruu has completed you should immediately receive OTAs.
remember, stay S-Off, consider it your "get out of jail" card, in case you ever want to change something again.
Thanks again I'll try it in a couple of hours and report my progress.
Edit:
OK, got CID HTC__032 and changed MID successfully. AROMA hung at 0.00%, but a restart helped like it was described in the post. Now onto HBOOT and RUU.
Edit 2:
Installed HBOOT 1.44 and the Guru Bootloader reset - removed tampered and set locked (why not ). Running RUU in a few minutes...
So, everything went smoothly, the OTA is slowly installing, and I am now a proud owner of an Eastern European model! B)
I learned a lot in the process, certainly read a lot, and I am very grateful to the people who wrote the posts, and especially to those who helped me here!
Guys, if we ever meet, the beer is on me! Until then, PM me, I can at least buy you one from here Maybe I can also help out somehow, being that I'm a programmer as well.
Anyway, after the OTA updates are done and I set everything up, I'll probably be reinstalling TWRP and going to ARHD 41, but first I'll see what else is out there

Congrats mate
Can you also edit main thread title to include [SOLVED], thanks
Done
The OTA install is done as well, but unfortunately the latest one I got was JB 4.3 with Sense 5.5 (3.62.401.1), no KitKat. I tried changing CID to HTC__001, but still no KitKat updates.
I'll probably now install ARHD 41.0, newest MaximusHD or Elegancia, but they mention upgrading the firmware. Should I try that, upgrade the firmware that is? Will I be able to go back later with HBOOT 1.44 and the RUU I already used, or will that option be gone (or is it already)?
Sorry for more questions, but I wouldn't want to mess everything up at the very end

4.4 (hopefully 4.4.2) not out yet for most, only US Dev Edition, and has a few "bad habits" for the rest of the world... no need to change CIDs, it'll come soon enough....
ARHD 41.0 and MaximusHD are based on the US Dev Edition, not the WWE edition.
I just figured that out from the version number, sorry. So, no firmware flashing for now, I'll just go ahead with the ROM, but first a TWRP backup, just in case. Thanks again!

1) As you can see from this thread, I went through this process without any problems. When I was done converting and updated to 4.3 with Sense 5.5 I decided to go with ARHD 41, and last night installed new firmware and ARHD 51, also without any problems.
2) I would recommend you convert your phone to WWE, but that decision, as well as the risk, is on you. I got tired of waiting and didn't think HTC would update this CID, so I tried it and am very happy with how it turned out. I can't thank enough the guys that helped me here!
(btw guys, those beers are getting warm, pm me your paypals if you've got 'em)
3) I'm not really sure about this one, but I went ahead and backed up everything I could before I started it. I think it'll go well if you follow the instructions here

I also got that update as soon as I bought the phone, some time in October/November I think, it's old.
I didn't change the firmware when I was converting to WWE, a .401 version wasn't out yet.
I did change it last night though, and installed ARHD 51 (it gives me more options than stock) and everything went smoothly (I even did a dirty flash).
Anyway, I recommend you stick to the original instructions (use old ARHD for rumrunner), and when you're done converting to WWE, ran the RUU and everything works you can choose wheter you want to get the OTAs and stay stock (KitKat 4.4.2 OTA for WWE just came out, with new firmware), or root and install any ROM you wish
Hello guys,
My wife tried to do the OTA update, but the phone had custom rom and the phone is now bricked.
It is relocked and s-off
I downloaded RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.16.exe (Developer Edition)
and RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.exe (Developer Edition)
However, none of them worked. It gives me error 140: bootloader version error. I know it has something about downgrading, but im not sure what to do.
its been 5 hours since Im trying to unbrick it, but unsuccessful so far.
I will greatly appreciate any solution.

1- no need to be relocked/locked with S-Off
2- error 140? (i thought it would give error 155), but anyway, it's due hboot 1.55, you need to first & separately downgrade hboot to 1.44, check my guide in my signature in post #1 there's the hboot download link and instructions.
DO NOT GO S-ON!

I am downloading the RUU 3.22.1540.1 right now and see if it works. If it doesnt, is it possible to s-off without a rom in my phone?
I tried revone, but i needed the phone to be working. How about rumrunner?
Because that way, I could downgrade and then finish the work.
Right now all I can do with the phone is get to bootloader and twrp recovery.

first try the ruu you are downloading
revone will only work with hboot 1.43 - 1.44. you have to use rumrunner to s-off hboot 1.55 with a rom like arhd 31.6 or cyanogenmod 10 (because of their unsecured kernel)
or you can also go back to stock with a guru reset rom which you can adb push to the device and install via custom recovery.

Hi, I am new to this website and have never adapted my phone before. I have searched through a number of threads on this forum but I am still unsure about how to modify my device, so I would like to ask for your help and a step-by-step list on how to do the following:
I have a HTC One (M7) on the EE (UK) network and I am currently on android 4.3 because EE haven't bothered to release 4.4 + Sense 5.5 yet and haven't informed anyone about when the update will be released, so I have no hope of sense 6 being released any-time soon and I am fed up waiting.
So, I would like to change my HTC One to an unlocked international version which can receive OTA updates direct from HTC instead of waiting for EE and I would like to also flash the STOCK International Sense 6 ROM onto my phone at the same time.
Current CID: ORANG001
Current Hboot: 1.55
Current Software Number: 3.63.61.1
Radio: 4A.21.3263.04
Locked Bootloader with S-On
I would very much appreciate any help you can give.
Thank-You

It's best to be on the stock rom if you are already on one. Use firewater to s-off your phone and then convert to the developer edition.
Edit: a rom with an insecure kernel is best for s-off as clsa has mentioned below.
I have a YouTube tutorial for the conversion part if you'd like to see.

So, after I flash ARHD 31.6 and then I s-off with firewater, how would I go about getting the phone ready to receive OTA updates direct from HTC for the UK unlocked version. (I would prefer changing to UK unlocked rather than the Developer version mentioned above)
Also, have you got a link to the version of firewater relevant for me. Thanks

Did you watch the video above ?
the important thing is changing the CID and MID to match what ever version you choose. Then flash that RUU

I did watch that video but i wasn't sure if that was the final step in order to receive OTA updates direct from HTC because I remember reading somewhere that you need stock recovery.

The Guru reset installs the Stock recovery all you have to do is choose it

So, the Guru reset is included in the RUU file, or is it a separate download? Also, do you know of any good links which have all the details I need to enter in the Command Prompt to do the following:
Flash custom Recovery TWRP 2.6.3.3
Flash ARHD 31.6
Get S-Off with Firewater
Change CID
Also, should I backup my current rom before I do anything and would I use the TWRP recovery to do that, if so how?
Also, on some things I have read it has mentioned something about Aroma, what is this and do I need it?
I know there is a lot of things here, Thank-You very much if you can help me with all of it.

Hi, I am new to this website and have never adapted my phone before. I have searched through a number of threads on this forum but I am still unsure about how to modify my device, so I would like to ask for your help and a step-by-step list on how to do the following:
I have a HTC One (M7) on the EE (UK) network and I am currently on android 4.3 because EE haven't bothered to release 4.4 + Sense 5.5 yet and haven't informed anyone about when the update will be released, so I have no hope of sense 6 being released any-time soon and I am fed up waiting.
So, I would like to change my HTC One to an unlocked international version which can receive OTA updates direct from HTC instead of waiting for EE and I would like to also flash the STOCK International Sense 6 ROM onto my phone at the same time.
Current CID: ORANG001
Current Hboot: 1.55
Current Software Number: 3.63.61.1
Radio: 4A.21.3263.04
Locked Bootloader with S-On
I would very much appreciate any help you can give.
Thank-You

Beware of unlocked you will miss some system apps and then cant update ota
Hi guys,
I have gone through the the forum and have read up on the issure, I have made some progress, I need some expert advice on the last few stages.
The Htc one M7 is soft bricked, i have unlocked the bootloder via the htc site, i know how to use ADB and fastboot command line. I have installed TWRP on the phone, now i can see my phone as a drive on my computer. the phone is still S-ON
What i want to achieve:
Put a stock firmware on the phone and thats that.
Not too keen on putting customs firmwares, if there is a Google Edition firmware, that will be a plus if not then the firmware with sense 5 or 6 etc.
The CID is 332 ( could this be an issue)
I just need the phone to work as normal with stock or google play edition stock.
Do i need to get s-on to S-off? whats the easiest way. what firmware would work for this cid-332, do i need to change my CID to get best firmware, these are the stages i need advice.
Thanks a lot guys.

you seem to have a carrier that has never released a RUU or any useful files really. Did you make a Nandroid backup of you stock software ?
If you have no backup the best you can do is just flash an international Rom that matches you firmware version like this one
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543706
During install choose No to stock recovery and No to installing the Radio

you'll be able to flash it but you will never get ota uptades using this version because of your cid and mismatch between software version and firmware version.
Its not possible to return it to stock .599 so you should either s-off it and do a conversion to another version or use custom roms.

flash a close to stock rom and s-off using sunshine
once s-off, change you cid
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
then change your MID to PN0710000 using this tool
and finally, flash a x.xx.401.x RUU.
or if you prefer the dev edition version:
change cid to BS_US001
MID to PN0712000
and use the latest ruu 6.07.1540.2
