[Q] KitKat Firmware Upgrade and S-ON - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I´ve got a problem/question about the firmware upgrade to the newest 4.06.1540.3 one. My device is S-On and on 3.62.401.1 at the moment. As written in most guides, you need to s-off your device to flash a new firmware, but my last firmware-upgrade to 3.62.401.1 worked on s-on, when i followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823 (you should relock bootloader and then flash firmware.zip) I first tried to flash the 4.06.1540.3.zip like on s-off following Vomer´s guide [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 ], from which i also downloaded that custom zip ( http://d-h.st/Uz6 ). But during both flashing"kinds" (S-on and s-off style), i got the same error in cmd:
C:\HTCONE\Toolkit 2.0 - Squabbi>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
target reported max download size of 1526722560 bytes
sending 'zip' (28021 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.740s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 6.255s

So is there a way, maybe to modify that firmware to work on s-on, or is such a zip downloadable ? or do i have to switch to s-off to upgrade to the new kitkat firmware ??? THX in advance

just use rumrunner to s-off then flash any firmware you like
the error was because your CID and MID do not match those in the firmware
you should also edit your post and remove your serial no and IEMI
You should also make note that once your phone is s-off it will be possible to Brick the phone if you don't flash correctly. Be sure to follow any guides you use Exactly as they say. And be sure the file you flash is for your phone. It's also highly recommended to keep s-off once you have it never go s-on

So when i have gone s-off, there is no way back to s-on in case of warranty purposes, e.g. to run an ruu.exe?

yes you can but it's not recommended and RUU works great with s-off

Not recommended because of brick risk?

s-on a phone with modified hboot = brick
You can s-on after running a RUU without risk.
Other than that the dangers of s-on are only it can be difficult to get s-off back. You only need to search the forums for all the bonuses of having s-off.

No, because you need to downgrade to hboot 1.44 to run this ruu and this require s-off
If you don't want to go s-off, you can restore stock rom and recovery by flashing that rom:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
Can I receive ota by flashing that rom?
Am I at 100% stock

Yes and Yes, you have to select "stock recovery" when installing the Guru Reset for OTAs to install properly.
BTW: there's nothing newer than 3.62 at the moment

1- unlock bootloader again
2- flash custom recovery again
3- install this rom using custom recovery: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
----> select WIPE, select "stock recovery", root and radio are up to you
you're all done, you will receive OTAs without any problems.
* You do not need to lock or relock bootloader, you can if you want but it's not necessary.
* if you choose root, then you may (or may not) loose it after OTAs, but it will not affect the OTA upgrade.
Hope that helps.

reflash the same rom, without selecting wipe (known as a "dirty flash").
there are no OTAs after 3.62 at the moment, and when they become available they'll work fine without messing with google services.

[Q] Failed stock rom update now boot loop?

Hello,
i think i have a big problem. After the One of my brother did a provider update, it froze in the update process and it boot loops. I can access it via fastboot but not with adb. But with another One adb is no problem, that confuses me quite a bit.
I unlocked it with htcdev and installed twrp 2.7.0.0.

Ahh, that RUU will not work because its for an older HBOOT version. That's for HBOOT 1.44, yours is on 1.55
So, u cannot use that RUU.
U will need to update the HBOOT to 1.56 and use this RUU:
http://www.htc1guru.com/2014/03/android-ruu-europe/
Plus, lock the bootloader before using the RUU. RUU will give an error if u have an unlocked bootloader

You've flashed the wrong firmware.
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/401/
Choose 4.19.401.9
Unlock your bootloader and then flash this firmware
the exe form of ruu in htc1guru.com is corrupt, i checked md8 signatures. but zip form is ok.
hboot is now working with locked bootloader, i will try RUU later. Thanks to all of you to this point!!!
I can't download the ruu, the download speed is so worse, it takes 6 hours and cancles at 100-150mb -.- was googling for another mirror, but didn't find one yet
The phone is working again, you're the best, all of u!!! Big thanks again!!!!!!!

One "this is a test device" help - urgent

Hi guys,
I'm in need of some help, my beloved HTC One has fallen victim to the dreaded Purple Camera issue and I need to send it back.
I'm on HBOOT 1.56 and I need to turn S-ON back on as my phone says that my phone is a "Test Device" in bold red writing if you reset the phone and under About>Help
I don't want any warranty issues with HTC as being in South Africa, support is very limited as it is and they will find any excuse not to try fix it.
If anyone can give out any tips or advice I'd be happy to donate even.
I've done lots of Googling and tried a couple things but it's all for older HBOOT's than mine.
Please and thanks guys. :good:

ok so you'll need to downgrade your phone first because turning back s-on on hboot 1.56 will trigger the tampered flag in the bootloader.
use the 1.28.401.7 ruu with the guru bootloader reset tool
refer to this guide and follow instructions carefully. Again, do not s-on on hboot 1.55 and above, only do it on 1.44 or 1.54.

Awesome! I just downgraded to 1.44,
Can I go ahead now and use fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 to S-ON the device?
Just wanting to make 100% sure.

DO NOT GO S-ON
first run the RUU.EXE or the flash the RUU.ZIP
then we can consider s-on, with S-On you cannot downgrade!!! and you'll be majorly stuck.
let me know when you've done the ruu
PS: please follow the guide
1- remove tampered set locked
2- run / flash ruu 1.28.401.7
3- boot up once to make sure everything is OK, do NOT take OTA
4- go S-ON if you really need to

2- run / flash ruu 1.28.401.7
3- boot up once to make sure everything is OK, do NOT take OTA
4- go S-ON if you really need to
so if your bootloader is now:
* untampered,
* LOCKED,
* and the ruu has been successfully installed.
you can go ahead and S-On your device.

HTC ONE M7 Rooting - How would I go back?

Hi everyone, I apologies if this is a bit of a silly question however I am attempting to root an android device for the first time and would just like to know what you thought about an issue which I am having.
My question is, I plan to root my phone and install TWRP recovery, if I ever needed to unroot I am under the impression I would need an RUU which matches the radio very I have. The details of the radio is 4T.29.3218.08 and the phone is from the UK (Europe). I cannot find this version anywhere. If I ever needed to unroot does this mean I would not be able to?
This is the only thing which is now stopping me from rooting my phone... Thank you in advance for your replies.

your on the newest software their is no 6.x.401 RUU
to return to stock you simply flash the stock odex rom and stock recovery / do a factory reset and your Stock
you would still have an unlocked bootloader but without s-off you can't fix that (unlocked to locked)

So a couple of questions. Does that mean there is never going to be an RUU for my phone or is it just with time there will be more for the current version? As for flashing to the odex Rom and stock recovery, the Rom would be simple enough for TWRP recovery, how would i do the stock recovery part? Or would they be an all in one installation, installing the Rom would also install the recovery?
Thank you for your help

HTC doesn't release RUU each time there is a new version. Maybe with the future release of android lollipop, we don't know.

flash the stock rom using twrp and then flash the stock recovery the same way you have flashed twrp recovery. Twrp will be overwritten by the stock recovery.
Just keep in mind that you'll need s-off if you want your warranty back (to set the bootloader back to *locked* (not relocked) and to remove the *tampered* flag)

Yes but if you make a backup of your rom after unlocking the bootloader, there will be some files missing (htc preloaded apps in /data/preload) which will prevent you to use ota updates is you restore this backup. There is a 6.09.401.10 nandroid backup including the /data/preload folder on android file host.

You can extract it from any 6.09.401.10 firmware or from the 6.09.401.5 to 6.09.401.10 ota zip file.
nvm, I found it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603803
@alray - So my steps to stock would be:
Download and install the rom using TWRP recoveryfrom the following address:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473396068
Then install the stock recovery from the following link (Install is the same way I installed TWRP):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603803
If the phone is still S-ON, I will not be able to change the label so will have to make it S-OFF if I need to change - just out of curiosity, if I leave the phone S-ON will this affect OTA updates?
Then factory reset the phone - I should be back to a stock phone.
Would these steps be correct?

No, if you rom is 100% stock (which will be the case after restoring the above backup) and you have stock recovery, youre good for ota update. S-ON/S-OFF doesn't affect ota updates.
Then factory reset the phone - I should be back to a stock phone.

My phone has hit the purple tint issue which is a well known fault. I have spoken to HTC and they have said that they will fix under warranty. I need to return the phone back to stock. I know I can use the nandroid backup and the recovery in the post above but I am very confused on how to S-off.
My problem is there are so many guides (some of them being very old) on how to do this and I do not know which method to use. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can return my phone back to stock.

I would highly recommend to follow nkk71's super guide (linked in my signature). Everything is well explained in details, just make sure to read everything before beginning and also read the FAQ of his guide.
To achieve s-off, you will need to use Sunshine if your hboot is 1.57 or above. Sunshine cost 25$ USD. Its the only method to achieve s-off on hboot 1.54 and above.
S-OFF is a must to remove the tampered banner and set back the bootloader to ***LOCKED*** (not ***RE-LOCKED***) so your warranty is still valid, but again everything explained in that guide. If you have any question you can ask here or in nkk71's guide. If you have questions, post an updated "fastboot getvar all" at the same time.

The guide is really good, just one thing has thrown me though, Im not too sure which RUU to use.
I can see RUU for:
CID HTC__001
and MID PN0710000
but not baseband 4T.29.3218.08
Do I just use the files you linked me to in the posts above?

Downgrading requires s-off, s-off can only be achieved using Sunshine when hboot is 1.57 or newer

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-zip/
Baseband version is irrelevant when looking for RUUs. You want a ruu that match your CID, MID and firmware base (.401). Also you need the ruu to be hboot 1.44 (1.xx.xxx.x) so you can safely remove the tampered banner. So in our case you must use the 1.28.401.7 ruu.zip.

RUU will restore your phone to 100% stock. Only thing that will stand out is "tampered" flag in bootloader. If you don't mind that, just flash your respective RUU

Any suggestions on which RUU executable should I consider for AT&T. The other one I found was ZIP. I have downloaded but nothing to execute. I have to say I am novice on this custom ROM process.
