I have a tmo HTC one with cm11 and was wondering if I can flash the GPE radio?
Also how do you make a backup of the original radio?
Thanks.

You should be able to flash radios easy if you are s-OFF. If you are not than your phone might not allow you to flash over radio. If you are s-OFF you just basically flash the radio with fastboot command. There should be a huge firmware and radio thread with original and international radios which contains originals and GPE radios.

I have a htc one WWE (htc_001) and i must send it to SAT to repair?? the gap between aluminium body and plastic but the phone is rooted with custom rom(arhd 6.2) and upgraded just with the radio 1.29.401.12. Any solution to relock the phone and put stock(ruu 1.28.401.8 and recovery.img)?? thanks in advance

To go back to stock, you need to run RUU, but I don't think there's a RUU for htc__001 at this moment. Moreover, even if you relock the bootloader and flash the stock rom, it'll still appear as relocked.

You can flash stock Odex ROM from here, Stock recovery is also on this thread.

Yeah. Just stuck my radio img in the new installer. Check your baseband and compare to new radio listed on radio thread. Definitely the old radio.

Hi All,
I'm new to the HTC World, coming from a Note II prior to this.
I like messing with custom roms and HTC is definitly a little more work than what I had been doing before with Nexus Devices or the Note II
So Far,
I've S-Off'ed (Revone), Flashed CWM Touch, Unlocked Bootloader.
I'm on the Stock 4.1.2 Rogers Rom and Firmware (Canada - 4.2.2 not here yet for Rogers)
What I want to do
1) Update firmware to 4.2.2 that works with my phone
2) Install Android Revolution 4.2.2 Rom
Questions
1) Do I need to SuperCID? What advantage is there?
2) What firmware do I flash? I assume it needs to be custom, but which file do I need for my Particular phone? Anything I need to do in particular? Delete any specifc files beforehand? (like hboot? I'm on 1.44) Any specific radio to flash?
Do I flash firmware, followed immediately by flashing the rom?
Thanks - I'm getting almost there to trying some 4.2.2 Roms.

What do you recommend for Hboot, keep 1.44 or go to 1.54? I dont think I'll lose revone right? Any advantage of going to 1.54?
Anyone with recommendations for Radios for Rogers Canada? (or Bell which is actually what provider I'm on, same bands)

i have 1.54 but i just like have everything fresh and up to date...
i heard that hboot 1.54 is "nothing special" even few users did NOT recommend 1.54...
but i did not notice anything wrong with that...
speaking about FW i recommend 2.24 ... home and back buttons are "SPECIAL" with that
so good luck its really easy...i had no idea how to do that but after i read everything (link in answer 2) was piece of cake

I would recommend using the HTC__001 CID, not 1111111, as this can sometimes cause issues and can result in bricks if you use the wrong firmware.
As for HBOOT, this will be updated automatically when you flash the latest 4.2.2 firmware. There aren't any benefits but no issues either
With radio, latest is usually best. Some people reported battery issues but test it

I went ahead and did it before I read this response.
I did use SuperCID with 2.24 firmware and updated fine.
I am going to flash the rom now and hope everything works.

Hi All,
I have the M7 UL with a CID of HTC__001, it has hboot 1.44 s-off and I want to know if I really need to update the firmware/radio at all? I believe the current firmware is that of the 1.29.401.1 and since this was from the time of the Android 4.1.2 ROM and I am running a custom 4.3 ROM, I'm not sure what to do. I'm, not actually having any problems, so is it really necessary?
If so, do I need to upgrade hboot as well or can I get newer firmware/radio while keeping hboot 1.44 ?

At this point in time, you don't NEED to upgrade firmware, but there COULD be benefits such as the updated touchscreen drivers.
And since you're s-off, you can flash new firmware(s) including updated hboot, and still be able to downgrade anytime you choose.
Updating firmware or hboot will not change your s-off status, and therefore allow you to downgrade at your choice.

Ive got a quick question regarding this, is firmware ROM dependent - i.e does it matter if im on the 4.3 Sense ROM or the 4.3 Play ROM to flash the 4.3 Firmware?

Nope. Like I said, currently the ROMs are firmware independent. This could change in the future, but for now it doesn't matter.

Firmware needs to be flashed in fastboot.
"fastboot oem rebootRUU"
"fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
"fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
(Yes, twice)
Be sure to check an make sure everything was successful.
"fastboot reboot"

Thanks, but I read somewhere that you need to flash firmware and then flash a ROM? Is that true?
Also whats the worst thing that could happen if I messed something up, could I just restore a nandroid?

The worst thing that could happen is a brick-- but that's unlikely.
Nandroids don't backup/restore firmware.
I'd recommend NOT updating hboot.img, or sbl??.img when updating firmware.
Only include these in firmware.zip: android-info.txt, adsp.img, radio.img, rcdata.img, tp_SYN3302.img, rpm.img and tz.img.
These get you (in order) the DSP, radio, radio config data, touch pad driver, and some misc stuff (rpm and tz).
I have S-on, custom recovery and unlocked boot loader on my m7. I changed providers to T Mobile from ATT. I would like to get the WiFi calling features, etc but so far have been unable to flash a T Mobile RUU. I assume because the CID is an AT&T one. I have attempted to S-off the device (1.56 boot loader) in order to change the CID, it failed. Any advice for getting the device onto the stock t mobile Rom?

Have you tried rumrunner and firewater they are supposed to work on 1.5X hboot. Read through both of their threads to see what others have done to achieve S-Off. Without S-Off, I don't think you will be able to change.

Thanks I have read both and tried both methods without any luck. I installed the viperrom but still don't see any options for WiFi calling. Maybe that is CID dependent as well

I don't think WiFi-calling has been implemented in Sense 6 custom roms except for stock T-Mobile. AHRD has v36.1 and SkyDragon has v20 which is KK with Sense 5.5. I had a thought, if you could return to stock AT&T using an older RUU which would have a lower hboot. Then you could try to get S-Off. It is the round about way to do it but it might work. One note the RUU you are going to flash/run has to have an hboot equal to or lower than its hboot. nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock has a lot of information and links on how to accomplish it.

That is a great idea. I had semi-attempted that but did not put as much effort into it as I should have. I will definitely try that. But I am wary that to downgrade I will still need super CID and s-off.

Well, downgrading require S-OFF
so you can't downgrade to achieve s-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49832723&postcount=388
with S-ON you can only flash signed firmware and ruu with same or higher version
Sorry I lead you wrong, @alray is correct. Here is something I found in @nkk71 thread under "Not so FAQ #2". It explains a lot.

once you have a custom recovery (like TWRP), you can make a nandroid of your stock rom. Then you can try out any of the other roms of your choosing and aways restore your nandroid if you don't like them.
You may be able to also restore an old backup, but if it was made with a different recovery, it doesn't always work.

Thanks. I would need to find a stock T-Mobile HTC One Rom made with TWRP or CWM. I can switch recoveries easily enough. Maybe that could work. Any idea where I could find a nandroid zip file like that?
check the development section of the forum. there are a couple of threads that have stock roms in .zip format to flash in TWRP or CWM

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
