[Q] My HTC ONE (THREE UK Network) Stuck on Android 4.2.2 Can anyone help?

Hi Guys,
I rooted my HTC One previously but I wanted to update my phones android software so I can't much remember what I did, but
I tried to unroot it to get back to stock but I don't think I did this successfully.
My HTC One android version is 4.2.2
HTC Sense version is 5.0
am i right in thinking there are more up to date versions on the three UK network for my HTC ONE? But every time
i click check for software updates on my phone there aren't any that appear??
I'm really new to this, thank god i didn't brick my phone when i first rooted it, if i could i'd love to get
back to stock but I tried with no success, i really want to have an updated phone without having to
mess around with it anymore.
I believe i have attached an image more more information such as my baseband and kernel version.
could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to go back to stock so i can receive
updates without these issues. Thanks in advance guys
Kind regards

If I was you I would look to s-off your device, that way you can always have the latest rom version from XDA you can sometimes wait a long time for Networks to release the latest version to update over the air.
There are some very nice stock roms out there but if you don't wait to take the risk you need to unroot, restore stock recovery and relock your device I believe.
If you had made a nandroid backup before rooting you could have restored to the nandroid stock rom and simply restored the recovery and relocked.

[Q] hi too many qs about verizon htc one

hi
i bought a verizon htc one and am using it in the simple mobile prepaid network. its on android 4.2.2 with software number 1.10.605.10. since i dont have a verizon sim it wont update to the latest jellybean ota. my questions
1) how should i start off rooting and s off it
i was thinking rumrunner----> change the tampered to unlocked-----> flash recovery twrp-----> flash stock +su
2) in the end i want the stock android 4.4 with sense 5.5 rom, the unlocked version
so should i first flash verizon software 2.10.605.10 ------> update the firmware via fastboot-------> flash the stock 4.4 unlocked edition rom
3)if i flash the verizon 2.10.605.10 will i lose touch control when coming from 1.10.605.10? then how will i be able to get to fastboot to flash firmware? or should i flash the firmware first then the rom?
4) can i flash the android 4.4 sense 5.5 rom for unlocked htc one taken from http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-stock-roms/android-4-4-kitkat-sense-5-5-stock-rom-for-htc-one/ . will it work in my phone?. i am not using verizon sim.
5) if i need to return my phone for warranty and need to be back in stock 1.10.605.10. how should i go about it?
is it
change from unlocked to locked ----> flash the ruu as rom.zip ------> change to s-on.
if i follow that method where do i get the 1.10.605.10 rom is it from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=248531 ?/
also if i flash the 1.10.605.10 rom, how will i flash the firmware back, since the newest firmware wont work on the old rom?
please do give me a reply. i have been searching the forums for replies and its all confusing.
thanks a lot

I don't know about the verizon variant but here for the international variant you need to be bootloader unlocked and rooted to s-off with rumrunner. Maybe your version of rumrunner are using an exploit that can achieve s-off without unlocking bootloader, idk.
and for the others questions, unfortunately, I'll says just wait for someone else to jump in this thread because im not familiar with the verizon variant.

[Q] Upgrade 4.3 to 4.4.2

Hi all,
I am new here and just started to learn a bit about android.
I have an AT&T HTC One M7 that I bought in US. I bought it with version 4.1.2 on it.
I upgraded it to 4.3 sense 5 (I don't exactly remember how...).
Now I'm out of US and want to upgrade it to 4.4.2 sense 6 (build 5.12.502.2) and don't know how to do it.
When I'm trying to do it via the software update i'm getting the message "No update is available...".
Can you please tell me what should I do? What file should I use?
Tnx very much

at&t phones must be connect to the at&t network to receive ota updates.
you could upgrade to 4.4 (sense 5.5) using the 4.18.502.7 ruu and then flash the ota update manually (flashing the update manually require s-off)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
or you could flash any 4.4.2 sense 6 roms

OK, what is "HTCOne-32GB-ATT-5.12.502.2-TWRP-stock-unrooted" version file (~1.2 GB) and what is "ATT_Sense6_OTAPkg" file (~670 MB)?
What is the difference between these two and when should I use each one of them?
When you told me that "I can flash any 4.4.2 rom..." - what type of file you mean?

First one is a stock sense 6 Rom zip(full Rom).
Second is a ota for you but then you need s-off ( only s-off your phone when you need it. You don't)
There are several threads where you basically can learn how everything works. There is a beginner thread in the general section. In simple words: unlock your bootloader, get a custom recovery (cwm/twrp) and then you can flash any android 4.4.2 Rom.
But first of all I strongly recommend you to read all the "beginner's flash/unlock guides". Don't do something if you don't know the consequences. You could brick your phone and it is just usable as doorstopper.
I recommend you using a HTC one m7 toolkit. Step by step you will learn how to do something.
And you don't need s-off.

If you've got any further questions, just ask.
I recommend you to use a toolkit for boot loader unlock and flashing a recovery because that's the simplest way. And the rom: there is no the ONE ROM but I can recommend you insertcoin (now 3.0.5) and maximus 42.0

[GUIDE] SIM UNLOCK without S-OFF ODEX HTC ONE M7 SPRINT

This thread is just for sprint m7 version 4.x.x
There is another way here SIM UNLOCK BY elvisypi but when you try it on the odex rom it says vDM had stopped so you cant unlock unless you flash another rom or do S-OFF so I decided to find a way and here it is.
LET'S START
1 - flash this via recovery [MOD] SIM UNLOCK for 4.3
thanks to chas123 because he's the one who hacked HtcOMADM_SPCS (which is also used in Sprint HTC One SIM Unlock Helper) making it possible to unlock!
2 - Flash ODEX-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip
3 - Install sim unlock helper.apk and do as usual.
in case you have a problem flash the STOCK-‫ODEX-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip then redo the steps . :good:
help
where i can find this app: sim unlock helper.apk
Great
Thank you!!:good:
My phone is S-ON hboot 1.57, this method worked for me!!
thank you very much:laugh:

Yeah, I think you should think twice before you upgrade, because I basically documented my attempt to SIM UNLOCK on Lollipop 5.0.2 Sprint Stock ROM and it does NOT work...
So if you have SIM UNLOCK on anything before 5.0 then STAY THERE until someone documents it actually working for 5.0 and higher, because I have not seen anyone having it working yet...
Once again, I am on Sprint STOCK ROM but you can read about it in the other thread...

Can you post your phone details? I tried on my phone and it did not work so now I am trying another method and will post update
Sprint HTC One - M7_WLS S-ON
HBOOT 1.61.0000
RADIO 1.01.20.1225
OpenDSP 35.120.274.0718
OS 6.23.651.6
Just wondering if you have a different HBOOT or if you are running LATEST Stock ROM, because I keep seeing threads of people SIM UNLOCK phones that are NOT Stock ROM Lollipop.
So if you got it to work then I guess someone else can try again, but I am also trying another method and trying to get a SIM from Mexico because it might not like DOMESTIC US SIM cards since it is SPRINT

What worked for me was to just remove the ODEX file completely, so I flashed the modified OMADM APK and then removed the corresponding ODEX file. No more VDM client stopped errors. This was on 4.3.
hello there
My htc software information is attached below.
Its running android 4.4.2 and sense 5.5.
Do I have to downgrade it to 4.3 and follow the instructions ?
I haven't unlocked boot loader and rooted the phone. But I have done this in few other htc mobile so this is not a problem for me. And do i have to install certain roms before following above instructions.
i think i was able to sim unlock it, but getting invalid card. I have two Sprint HTC One M7s
Phone #1 (Getting invalid card)
HBoot 1.57 S-ON
Radio is 1.01.20.0904_2
Phone #2 (Works with TMobile SIM)
HBoot 1.55 S-OFF
Radio is 1.00.20.0315
Is there a way to downgrade the radio or am I missing something?
i think lollipop works but need to flash an older radio. i couldn't get the sim unlock to stick (by helper.apk and terminal command); but once i downgraded the radio, the unlock sticked and was able search for carrier...
Will this work with 1.6 hboot running resurrection ROM? Thanks.

You will have to manually install the firmware 6.20.651.x twice before using the ruu.exe or you can update OTA if you have stock rom and recovery.

Where did i find the rom? Didn't anybody do the update? HTC says " If your Bootloader or device software has been modified, you may run the risk of damaging your device by installing the RUU."
Someone says "When you try this your mobile may be moved to locked".
That's what i am worried about. And if it is locked again, then how to unlock again?
Didn't find any content about unlocking HTC M8 sprint with marshmallow installed.

Sim Unlocking marshmallow currently requires you to downgrade to kitkat or jellybean and you will need SOFF to do that.
