[Q] HTC one gpe conversion 4.4 cannot unlock bootloader - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, apologies of this had already been dealt with.
I ran the gpe 4.4 ruu and everything went smoothly.
I relocked my boot loader and now cannot unlock it.
Tried the unlock bin and fastboot OEM unlock and nothing works.
Any help is appreciated?
I am currently
S off
Hboot 1.54
Relocked
Cid is googl01
Will flashing 4.22/4.3 gpe ruu solve this??

do you have root?
if yes;
adb shell
su
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)
if no root; you'll need to flash the older hboot from the 4.3 gpe and then you can use fastboot oem unlock.
here's a link to the older hboot you can flash in ruu mode: http://www.mediafire.com/download/7do7pl987dorkbd/43 hboot.zip

I'm in the same boat right now with S-OFF and a relocked bootloader that happened automatically when I converted my HTC One M7 into a GPe. I'm trying to unlock the bootloader again, and I saw your post. I just got an OTA update today, so I'm at Android version 4.4.4.
My question is, can I just RUU flash the old hboot? Will it work with the new update I got? Or do I have to change my phone's firmware first?
Also, if I do have to change my phone's firmware, do I flash the old hboot first or downgrade the firmware first? I'm not an expert by any means, so I'm following a guide to flash firmware and it says to make sure that my device is unlocked first (but that's my problem is that I'm trying to unlock it). Finally, will older firmware and new Android updates work together? Is there any risk of problems in the future by doing this?
Thanks,
Adrian

Help reverting back to stock.

I'm trying to unroot and revert back to stock and having a bit of a nightmare. I didn't make my own nandroid backup before I installed a customer rom (lesson learnt), so I downloaded the one I needed off a thread on here (UK Unbranded CWM). Every time I try to flash the nandroid I get an MD5 sum mismatch error. I've tried various methods people have suggested across the internet to no joy. Is there a stock .401 rom knocking about? I saw mikes thread but that has the latest 4.22 stock rom, is there one for an older version? Thanks.
if you have s-off you should
1)download this ruu http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdownload.php?file=M7/RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
2)lock your bootloader (use command "fastboot oem lock")
3)run ruu
4)done

Thank you very much. I've managed to restore from a nandroid backup and I've installed stock recovery, I'm now installing a OTA as prompted by the device. As I now have stock rom, recovery and no root access, gain I still use revone to lock bootloader and go S-On? The reason I want to use revone is so that it doesn't say 're-locked'. If so, how? Thanks for all your help.
if you recieved the OTA i think there's no need to relock the bootloader, but if you want to... so yes, use revone.
"./revone -l" to lock it (no relocked warning)
if you recieve the tampared warning use:
"./revone -t"
cheers

You can't s-off if you took the 4.2.2 ota. Revone doesn't work on that hboot.

[Q] How to go back to stock with HBoot 1.54 and OS 2.24.206.7

Hi everyone.
First of all, I'd like to apologise for creating a new thread about a thing that has been discussed here before. Since the problem hasn't been solved yet and I haven't unrooted a phone before I hope someone will guide me.
The phone: HTC One with Android 4.2.2
Carrier: O2 UK
CID: O2_001
S-on
HBoot: 1.54
OS: 2.24.206.7
I rooted my phone a couple of weeks ago. I unlocked the bootloader on the htcdev site and flashed the clockworkmod recovery. I like the HTC version of Android so I didn't flash a custom ROM. Last week I was notified that an OTA was available. I thought I'd only need a stock recovery to unroot my phone. So I started looking for it but I can't find it anywhere. There are no RUUs for my system. Nor Nandroid backups.
So my first question is if anyone has got a Nandroid backup of Android 4.2.2?
If not, can I use a different version of firmware? Some people suggested that 2.24.401.8 and 2.24.206.7 are actually the same.
I also found flashable zips of Android 4.1.2 but I know they don't work with hboot 1.54 and will break the touchscreen drivers so I'll need an otg cable. I don't like this solution. I'll do it when everything else fails.
Have you got any other suggestions? Or a step-by-step guide?
Cheers

Haha. That explains everything. Thanks once again.
I have got a few questions:
1. There is no rumrunner for 2.24.206.7. Which one do I use? 2.24.401.8? Or it doesn't matter?
2. Do I have to remove the "TAMPERED" flag?
3. How do I downgrade hboot? Do I flash it using fastboot?
4. The version of the missing apps is different. Will they install?
Thanks

1. For that version, you can use the 2.24.401.8, but before you do so please make a nandroid backup as it has been reported with some people to cause the WiFi to stop working. After you run rumrunner with this version you can restore your stock backup again
2. To downgrade the hboot, you have to download from the link in the guide I posted to you and edit the android-info.txt. This is done by opening the .rar file (NOT EXTRACTING IT!) and opening the text file. Change the model ID to PN710000. Reboot your phone into fastboot. Run the command fastboot writecid HTC__001 and then do fastboot oem rebootRUU. You then flash the hboot here using fastboot flash zip name_of_file_with_no_spaces.zip
The flash is then completed by typing fastboot reboot-bootloader. You can check the hboot there
3. By doing the above, run the RUU on my guide and then follow the steps to run the backup nandroid etc and you should be fine mate

Was rumrunner successful in achieving S-OFF? If so then it doesnt matter that the WiFi doesnt work, we can fix it
Make sure USB debugging is on - to do this go to your build number under settings and tap until it says you are now a developer
Go to developer settings and click the enable USB debugging option
To LOCK the bootloader:
Open command prompt
adb devices
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)
adb reboot bootloader
After this carry on with changing the CID to HTC__032 and flashing the hboot I told you about. Then run the RUU from here http://d-h.st/Gt8 from fasboot
After that you will be Android 4.1.2 hboot 1.44 and completely stock

[Q] Can't unlock HTC One GPE that is RELOCKED

I bough a GPE HTC One from the Play store. I used HTC Dev to unlock it, had enjoyed custom roms and recoveries. I wanted to learn how to revert back to stock so before the 4.4 OTA update I relocked the bootloader and restored a stock recovery (not my own original).
I received the 4.4 OTA update yesterday and I attempted to unlock the bootloader once more. I used the original bin file and went through the steps to do it again but am met with the same results. I can at times get a successful unlock command in terminal, but not the screen that is supposed to appear and unlock the device.
I've seen some threads that sort of have the same problem but none that have resolutions that work for me. I've attempted flashing RUU's but am always met with signature verification failures. I've tried fastboot oem unlock but that doesn't work either.
Hoping someone might have an idea.

From what I've been able to determine I'm unable to achieve S-OFF with HBOOT 1.54, or else I definitely would.
There are no RUU for GPE. The conversion RUU is not properly signed and was made from a system dump.
The GPE should be unlockable without a token or using htc dev.
fastboot oem unlock
what do you get?
You can't S-OFF on the GPE rom. you would have to flash a sense rom and then use rumrunner. You can't flash a different rom without unlocking and flashing a custom recovery...

That's old information. There has been an S-Off exploit for 1.54 for over a month. I've done it on a GPE just like yours. Search for Rumrunner S-Off.

No root, sadly. And probably can't get it with locked bootloader and s-on either.

Last night just for fun I relocked the bootloader on my GPE converted AT&T one. I then attempted to unlock using fastboot oem unlock and got the exact same results. I suspected it had to do with my phone being converted instead of legit GPE and also having a custom splash screen.
I'm s-off so I just unlocked using a a few quick commands while booted.
Try re-flashing the firmware.zip from the 4.4 ota for good measure. that will re-write your hboot and recovery and other firmwares.

Well the firmware flash worked just fine. But then I tried flashboot oem unlock and I got the same error as documented earlier. I even tried the HTCdev method again, got a successful result but no unlock screen.
So I'm still stuck on relocked. But I'm encouraged that your file was able to flash with no error. Do you think there might be more files I could attempt to flash in that manner that could help?

When I first got my phone I unlocked via that HTCdev method by betting the unlock_code.bin file and flashing it. I wasn't aware until today that there was a different method for GPE that didn't require that. The problem now is that the oem unlock doesn't work, and HTCdev method says it works but doesn't complete.
Yeah this a new issue that we are seeing being reported more and more after 4.4 GPE update.. Unfortuantely no fix yet.

OK, understood. What do you suggest I keep an eye out for on the forums?
A new S-OFF method for 1.54 with a locked bootloader...a new firmware update where it might work again...or updated drivers for the hardware/adb? Appreciate your input.

This method that you used to unlock and "relocked" phone, is there any way to do it with S-On? I had previously rooted, and am now stuck, as the others (I have been posting on other threads).
I'm wondering, hoping that there is line code like this one that would allow for us to recover our phones....
doubtful. s-off is required because your modifying a "black box" partition. The solutions used to gain s-off in the first place require using an exploit to write to that partition. What i posted is just directly modifying it using dd.

Hi I'm replying to you on this original thread instead of starting a new one. I received the 4.4.2 OTA update this morning and I still cannot unlock bootloader, getting the same error messages as documented earlier in this thread.
I am checking to see if you've heard of any success stories for people on a stock GPE HTC One (s-on, relocked, no root) getting their bootloader to unlock after 4.4 or 4.4.2. I've checked the forums regularly but most other people seem to have root, s-off, or customer recovery which I have neither of.

Im getting this same issue after updating to 4.4.2 after i got my phone back from repair. It is completely stock now and when i try to unlock the phone it wont show the screen that asks me if im sure i want to unlock my phone, which is the last step on the htcdev site.
Im thinking its a kitkat issue.

HBOOT 1.56 how to S-on and LOCK bootloader?

i know revone doesnt work to S-oFF, but can i revert back to S-on and remove "RELOCKED" on hboot 1.56 KITKAT 4.4.2?
or is the only way running a RUU, (then running revone) than updating to KITKAT with S-ON and ***RELOCKED*** removed?

To get your bootloader back to LOCKED, first you need to unlock the bootloader and flash CWM. then flash this zip in CWM:
http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/guru-bootloader-reset/
Choose the option so set the bootloader back to LOCKED. You can also remove TAMPERED using this tool
To go back to S-ON, after setting the bootloader back to LOCKED, enter fastboot mode and type this in Command Prompt without the inverted comma,
"fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
then follow the on-screen instructions to S-ON. reboot 3 times after the procedure
Feel free to ask any doubts and hit the THANKS button if I helped you
S-on on 1.55/56 hboot may bring back tampered text in bootloader. You have to be on 1.44 hboot to do it. Why do you need to s-on. Its not recommended

Yes, revone -l will set back to LOCKED state on any hboot version. Or simply this command in a terminal or adb shell will do it:
Code:
su
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
Do not go back S-ON, just don't.

Read all instructions before beginning. Make sure you have the original ADB drivers and the HTC provided drivers coming from HTC sync. Make sure HTC sync is then uninstalled. Make sure your firewall and antivirus is disabled through the process. Make sure you follow all directions to a T. Done this twice following this guide.
