[Q] Stuck during convertion to GE 4.3

Hi there,
I recently fully converted my HTC one to GE (4.2.2) referring to this Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781). I somehow didn't manage to OTA to 4.3 so I downloaded the 4.3 RUU and flashed them. After this the common camera bug appeared and ich flashed back the old 4.2.2 RUU from the same thread. After doing this I read relocking bootloader will enable OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.3 so I did this resulting in no OTA + beeing unable to unlock bootloader again. Here is the Error message. Does anyone have an idea for newbies like me?
(bootloader) [PG_ERROR] htc_pg_part_traverse(839):
(bootloader) invalid traverse range
(bootloader) [PG_ERROR] htc_pg_part_read(1029):

Thanks!

what command are you using to unlock the bootloader?
if you're using the token, don't do that
fastboot oem unlock

I used the fastboot oem unlock method.
I just figured it out somehow
I flashed the 4.3 RUU again then did the oem unlock and it worked. I think the problem was that hboot, radio etc. came from the 4.3 RUU but I "downgraded" with the 4.2.2 RUU.
At least I got it working with this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390249) using CWM but sadly it's not a full convertion
Thanks for your help.
Altough I read it is possible to fully convert with the 4.2.2 RUU and OTA update to 4.3 with no bugs I couldn't get it working. If you are planing on writing a tutorial I can contribute the "how-not-to-do" parts.
Cheers

[Q] HTC One relocked after firmware updated now soft-bricked and unable to unlock!

Help!
I recently installed the 4.06.1540.3.zip firmware onto my HTC One in preparation to install Android Revolution HD 41. After installing the firmware, I have been unable to unlock the relocked bootloader. I am able to send commands via fastboot and can successfully send the unlock code but nothing shows up on the phone. I currently have no working OS on the phone and only have stock recovery, it seems, and obviously can't send over a custom recovery until I'm unlocked which I can't do =(.
Please help, I have no phone!

Mike's directions for updating firmware required a re lock.
How to flash?
(bootloader needs to be relocked)
Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

Yes, and I've received one (and then kept trying and got about 30 more). I can flash it just fine but the screen on my phone never pops up to accept the unlock. This is my issue. There is no error message on the flash. It just doesn't show up and I can't accept the unlock.

S-On, right? :crying:
1- was that a signed firmware package
2- did the update go all the way (ie you flashed it twice in a row, first one came back with "flush again immediately" and you did)
3- you confirmed everything was updated by checking your "fastboot getvar all"
4- bootloader also shows the correct firmware
if yes to above, try a factory reset in bootloader and/or stock recovery, then try a new unlock token, and hope it works.

Yes, S-ON since getting S-OFF on hboot 1.5 is a pain.
I'm almost certain it was a signed firmware otherwise it wouldn't have even be able to have been flashed.
The firmware update was successful, after flashing twice. I can successfully flash that firmware and ..1540.2
Getvar shows the new firmware, as does the bootloader.

I just don't understand why I can't get the popup on my phone. That's what I get for trying to do it the right way, I guess =(.
I'd like to at least get stock back on the phone so I can have a working phone but I can't find an RUU that will work, my firmware is too new for any that I've found. =(

Should have done s-off. No point in modding without it.

I had the same issue with my first HTC One, it was a tmobile version. I ended up having to RUU whick alligned the firmware, hboot, rom, and recovery to the same versions. Boot and go through the setup. shut down. reboot. shutdown. boot into fastboot. create a new user with HTC, submit your token. Reboot your PC. Send the bin file to the device. unlock. powerdown. flash recovery. powerdown. enter recovery. powerdown and accept the install of SU. boot into the stock ROM. powerdown. You should be set to go.

I can't find an RUU for 4.06.1540.X though. =( I believe that will fix my problem but the solution is not out there.

At the time I modded there was no solution for S-OFF for 1.5+.

As for now, the only thing I seem to be able to successfully flash via RUU are the two 4.06 firmwares from @mike1986. Unfortunately, it's just firmware and not a full RUU so I can't boot into anything but the bootloader. Any hints on where I can find a stock rom that it will let me install via fastboot since I don't have a custom recovery?

Your CID is still CWS__001.
Get the AT&T RUU from HTC and run it. Then start the bootloader unlock process all over.
Once you've got a working phone, then attempt to s-off using rumrunner with a live CD/USB of a Linux distribution.

I really appreciate all the help, but there either is no AT&T RUU that will run with the firmware on my phone (afaik you can't go backward when you're S-ON), or it's not where I'm able to find it on the internet. I've looked here and htc1guru.com.

That might be the case then...
I ran this RUU:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
I used it go return to stock for a warranty exchange and had the 3.62.401.1 firmware at the time, but I was s-off.
Hopefully someone knows a way to get a ROM back on the phone so that you can get the bootloader unlocked.

you should have done some homework before updating to 4.4(.x) -> "fastboot oem unlock" no longer seems to work.
since you have a functioning ROM, you could look into firewater to S-Off

As far as I know S-OFF requires the devices to be rooted, but I cannot grant any root access from now without unlock the bootloader

you know that you can't downgrade without S-Off

So actually there is no solution to root/unlock_bootloader/s-off this? I guess I must stay with stock Google ROM

What you are experiencing is the well known GPE bootloader unlock bug. The only way to unlock it require S-OFF and the only way you can achieve s-off without having an unlocked bootloader is using Sunshine s-off.
Be very careful from now, if you make a mistake and the rom can't boot anymore, your phone will be good for garbage. Once S-OFF is achieved, we can help you unlock the bootloader.

o.k Install the apk and what next? Thanks

Just launch the Sunshine app on your phone. It will run some tests then ask you to pay via PayPal or credit card. After you paid the phone wil reboot (may appear to bootloop). When the phone comes back on you'll be Unlocked Rooted and with s-off. All that good stuff in one shot
