Hi all,
I'm having issues trying to restore the latest Telstra RUU and I'm hoping someone will be able to give me a hand with this.
I originally unlocked the bootloader, flashed a CWM recovery, custom ICS ROM, and all was working fine.
I've decided to go back to stock Telstra release but every time I try running the RUU I get an error message saying ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
From what I've read, this relates to the bootloader being newer then that included in the RUU. I'm not sure how accurate this is though so if someone could confirm, that would be great. If I do need to downgrade the bootloader, where do I get it from?
The RUU's I've tried flashing are from here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/002b74e0f4775869/
- RUU_HOLIDAY_SENSE3_5_Telstra_WWE_2.27.841.6_Radio_3.01.4720.09_34.06.701020.02_release_231121_signed.exe
- RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Telstra_WWE_3.25.841.4_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_246698_signed.exe
Neither of these work and both show the same error as indicated above.

If anyone can provide any assistance getting this phone back to stock Telstra release it would be greatly appreciated. I've been working on it for almost 6-8 hours now and seem to be going around in circles.
Thank you! :good:
You need to relock your boot loader to run an ruu
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. The bootloader has been relocked.
What hboot do you have currently?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
As above, HBOOT-1.85.0029.
I've managed to flash Velocity² "Nightly Build 5" which is as close to stock as I can get for the time being. Phone is working fine.
I can't seem to find any information at all regarding updating the HBOOT though, and what small information I do come across, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I don't even know if 1.85.0029 is the latest. Whether I need to upgrade/downgrade it before the RUU will work which some information I've found seems to suggest.
You shouldn't have to change the hboot to be able to run the ruu. Did you unlock your bootloader again to flash the new Rom?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I did unlock the bootloader again to flash the new rom, only becasue the RUU wouldn't flash. I've tried flashing the RUU with the bootloader locked and unlocked even though I know it needs to be locked. I've tried flashing the RUU while using both a GB rom and an ICS rom - just incase it makes it difference - it didn't.
I've never had this much trouble flashing an RUU before - it's ridiculous.
You cannot flash an RUU with a lower main version or lower hboot version than what is currently on your phone unless you are S-OFF.

What do you mean by main version?
HBOOT version is 1.85.0029. How can tell if the RUU is lower? If I need to upgrade or downgrade the hboot, where do I find the info on this?
I have read that if the hboot is lower then that of the RUU I wont be able to run it but I could never find any information about how to upgrade/downgrade hboot nor how to tell what version the RUU is.

Main version is the software number.
The one you see in Settings > About > Software Information.
The number should be on the RUU that you downloaded, it's the first set of numbers. for example: 3.25.841.4
How did you go with this, I am in the exact same boat. I want to sell my phone but not with this rom.
I was never able to install the stock Telstra RUU. Could never figure it out. After countless hours and at one stage thinking I'd bricked it, I gave up. I ended up sticking with this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653317) which hasn't been too bad really.
I would still really love to restore it to factory but in all honesty I don't think it will ever happen.
I managed to extract the boot.img file from the RUU and am having a crack at building the ROM myself. If all is successful I will upload it to my dropbox account and link it.

Same here I'm now running Holics 1.3 very similar to stock with some nice addons etc
just s-off and then use that RUU
I can't find the RUU's any more. They have gone from File Factory. I've pretty much given up on trying to restore this to factory. I can't even find up to date information on how to S-OFF - and from memory it's got to be done via hardware hack of some sort? Not real keen on that idea.
That said, I'm looking at flashing CyanogenMod 10 4.1.2 ROM which I'd be more then happy with.
RUU
You might be looking for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094150&highlight=ruu. I was having the same problem and what I did was find the exact/the same version of the RUU and the version of my phone.
As the title states guys, I have no idea what RUU I should download or even if one is available ... Like I said, I'm in the UK and I bought the phone sim free from Carphone Warehouse and I am on Tesco.
Cheers in advance

Cheers dude ... I did look at that a bit ago when I was trying to find it but I want the actual stock if poss from HTC. My current software version is 1.29.401.13, is that an OTA or is that the version of an RUU I need? I looked on the HTCDev site but I couldn't find anything under my operator but then I don't know if I can just flash a generic UK RUU or Europe or what lol, bit more to it on this phone than on my previous Xperia Ray.
The one listed should be fine m8, just know that you can't relock your phone properly.
the one i downloaded to keep for my sim free UK is RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
restore that and it should prompt to update to whatever the latest version is once you boot up
Cheers guys, I'll download the suggested files and have a butchers lol

Hi I have been following this thread, I read the instructions and it says you have to fastboot oem lock and then flash the RUU.
When you have gone through this process do you have to go through the process of unlocking the device via HTC id token again should you want to unlock, root and flash a recovery?

Any idea what one I need mate or is it not available? Tbh, I did try and restore using all the Europe versions on the link and I always got an error telling me it wasn't the correct RUU ... Why is it so hard to restore a One compared to say, Sony. When I had an Xperia Ray it was so easy to do, software direct from Sony to restore to stock, yet HTC have nothing simple when it comes to restoring ... It's blagging my head just trying to find any files to go back to stock.

HTC have never publicly released their RUUs, no idea why. You will need to use mike1986's 'stock' ROM to go back to stock or use one of the Nandroids posted in the Nandroid/RUU thread which is 1.29.401.13 or higher
Cheers for all the help guys, I think I'll just leave it unrooted and stock, at least until there is a stock RUU that is the same as the version I'm currently on, I could use the one from Android Revolution but correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that the leaked 4.2.2 whereas I want an RUU for my curren version but if it's not available then I'll just wait and hope it appears at some point ... Maybe I'll take the plunge then when I have all the bits I need lol.

I am in the same boat as you.. My rom is also 1.29.401.13 and i can not find the RUU for it.. So someone correct me if I am wring please.
From what I understand is that in order to use the RUU , you must have the same 1.29.401.13 RUU for this 1.29.401.13.. if you have any other RUU it will not work.. is this correct?
so if there is no 1.29.401.13 out.. then is it only to just use the android revolution 10.1 rom or the stock rom .4.2.2 ?
thanks for anyone who will clarify this .. as I am really lost

You have to have 1.29.401.13 or higher, e.g. 1.29.401.16 would work if available, same for 2.17.401.1

This is what the RUU folder has several .win files and some md5s
Not sure if it is suppose to look like that
Is it a .zip file or an .exe?
Are you S-off or S-on?
Are you certain the RUU is for your cid?
Is the RUU newer or at least the same version as you are currently running?
You need to know the answer to these questions before you attempt to flash it otherwise it may nit work.

Hopefully you downloaded the executable .exe RUU
If you got a .zip, then download the exe here: http://sdrv.ms/1bGfkdU
Make sure you have CID: CWS__001 and 1.44 hboot (assuming you're on AT&T)
Boot into fastboot mode and run the RUU.
S-off before anything! It's better to get it now than after the update (there's no possible way to s-off after the update....yet)
At first, my english is not so good and i'm a noob with computers...sorry!
I will try to explain as good as i can what my situation is about,
I have a HTC One and have to go back to stock for warranty.
The problem is that i really don't know what to do because i bought the Phone that was allready root and the firmware Android Revolution HD.
here are some screenshots in my dropbox, but can't find the main firmware in fastboot because the field is empty
EDIT: can't upload screens because i am new here
What else can i do, there are many, many ways and they are all different, don't know what to choose or do.
I am searching last 2 weeks every day at least 4 hours but till now i didn't do anything haha.
Can someone please help me with a step by step tutorial, and if you need more info, tell me what you want and how to do it.

I believe it's easy for you to go stock. Use revone to gain s-off and then flash the 1.29.401.7 RUU. Lock bootloader and you 're done

Okay, it sounds easy, but i'll try it.

and then also lock from the toolkit after flashing?
thank you for your quick response.
Now i am S-off, thank you!
but can't find the ruu 1.29.401.7 to download, where can i find it?
And is it possible to flash it with the "All in one toolkit" ?
and after that i have to lock my bootloader or before flashing?
sorry for all the questions but i'm a total noob with android and rooting.
Thanks
And what i found on google is for HTC one X, is that not a problem?

It didn't work for me that way, but from the site you have given to me i get it worked.
It was another ruu that i had to download, but then it worked fine and i'm nou at stock rom.
I could do the ota's and now i am on android 4.3, sense 5.5 and software 3.62.401.1
But when i want to go back to s-on, it says that when i have the wrong stock rom my device will be bricked.
How do i know if it really is the same rom it was before rooting?
Or is it not a problem because everything works now fine, included ota update?
I want to thank the people that helped me so fast, while it was my first post here.

DO NOT GO BACK TO S-ON. There is no need to do that. Just be stock with LOCKED bootloader and you re fine.

I don't have much experience with Verizon devices as I'm UK based but if your giving it away, you should just leave it S-OFF and try getting an original ROM from the HTC ONE Verizon thread. It's a different story if your trading it in though as most retail shops would check the Security status. You will need to find the relevant RUU file and then S-ON using a toolkit. You'll have to search through the forums man, sorry if I haven't been much help. I will take look when I have more time for ya and let you know if I find anything.
Hey found a link in the intarnational HTC One thread, all information on how to return to stock with S-ON is here but make sure you give it a good read and remember that your using Verizon phone so the methodology may vary a bit but it is outlined in the thread.
