Hi all,
I've had my one since April on 3UK, it's completely stock. I'm fed up with waiting for 3 to push the 4.2.2 update, and want to get the OTA pushed to my device. How can I do this? I'm very confused with the whole rooting/unlocking etc.
Any help appreciated
Thanks

If you want the OTA, you'll have to wait for the OTA.
If you want 4.2.2, you need to unlock and flash a custom ROM.

I'm sure i'd seen a post about how to get the OTA...?
If I flash a custom ROM are there stock HTC ones available that would be the equivalent of the 4.2.2 OTA? (I'm thinking the answer is yes!)
Thanks

I assume you still have Hboot 1.44.000, so you can unlock and get S-Off with RevOne http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582 and get the OTA by changing the CID number. It is not that hard and it is reversible because you can downgrade to 4.1.2 if needed. Change CID in cmd: fastboot oem writecid.
You don`t need root for this procedure.
Best is to flash a custom 4.2.2 rom
Don't try to force the OTA. It requires making deep changes to your system files and settings. Simplest thing to do if you just want 4.2.2 is to flash a stock rooted 4.2.2 rom.

Hi,
Is there a ruu file for this? I can't seem to find one. I am on stock 4.2.2 and my phone is unlocked with S-ON. I want to relock the phone and update to 4.3 but am unable to do it without the ruu file. Can anyone offer me any guidence please? Cheers

I believe that was an OTA and no RUU was released - but, look at the second post on this (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=114440&page_no=145) page.. user has posted a stock/unrooted backup image that you should be able to restore, and has also posted the stock recovery you'll need as well.

Thanks for your help but I fully rooted the phone and installed the Android Revolution ROM. Much better than stock. My only concern is when trying to use apps that do not work on rooted apps. Have hide my root on my phone and Transformer Prime and am not sure if it works. Does anyone have any other root hiding app suggestions?
HTC One update with unlocked SIM
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum and I apologize if the post is in the wrong category. And sorry for the android rookie questions, but I really need your help.
I own HTC One
I bought it with SIM lock
Phone has custom recovery (TeamWin) and it is s-OFF. I am not sure that I understand completely what this means but I found out this facts while reading this forum.
At the end, phone is unlocked (SIM unlock) by local service store (40 EUR).
I would like to update the software and OTA update does not work.
I would be grateful for step by step instructions how to update the phone software and not to SIM-lock the phone again.
My biggest concern is not to pay again for SIM unlock.
You have attached screenshots…
Thank you!

To receive and install OTA updates you need to have the stock recovery on your device. If you re-flash the stock recovery, you can install the OTA update. Once it has properly installed you can go replace stock recovery with TWRP.
I'm pretty sure it won't re-apply the SIM-lock to your phone, but I wouldn't like to say for certain. (Mine came already unlocked)

U will have to go back to the stock unrooted firmware by using the RUU. This will wipe off your internal storage completely and restore the phone to factory settings. This guide will tell you what to do:

That's not true. Just have to install the stock recovery, then you can do the OTA update. After the update, reinstall either CWM or TWRP and flash SuperSU or Superuser to regain root. The OTA should not affect SIM unlock at all, at least it never has in my experience.
honestly it would be easier to just go with a custom rom since hes already s-off and custom recovery
OP. 2. options.
1. Flash this recovery, and hit the OTA check button. http://d-h.st/M4R
2. Download this RUU package: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...31.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
and install!

yes you can update your firmware and flash a custom rom, if your looking for a close to stock experience i would advise ARHD 51
I just wanted to chime in and assure you that your sim unlock will not be affected by flashing custom ROMs, RUUs, firmwares, radios, recoveries, etc. I have flashed everything under the sun on my One and have retained my sim unlock.

Are these OK and which to use?
If these are not OK which should I use?
Please, please, I just need this one info.
Let me ask different question:
Is it must for RUU to match version-main?
My version is on the picture (1.29.401.12) and I found only one RUU for this version but not for my CID (HTC__032).
What to do?

The important thing to verify is that your CID matches what the RUU is designed for. On either of those RUU's you mention, look in the comments section of the post and see the CIDs. As long as you have one of those CIDs, you can install it.
Also, if you look at the RUU version number (1.20.401.1), you notice the third number in the sequence is "401". This signifies the WWE (World Wide Edition) version, so it will work with the majority of devices. The .401 firmwares are what most custom ROMs are based on, and are generally considered to be the most compatible. I am running a .401 firmware on my AT&T device without any issues. So any RUU with a .401 version would work for you.

No, the version-main doesn't need to match. That is just the current firmware version you have installed. If you install an RUU, it will update you to whatever version the RUU is based on. The only thing, if your device is still s-on, you can't install an RUU with a LOWER version than what is shown in version-main. You can upgrade with an RUU if you are s-on, just not downgrade.
The important thing is to find an RUU that works with CID "HTC__032".
Hmm... both those RUUs are lower than what you currently have, so they won't run with s-on. If you really want to be able to run the RUU, you're going to have to s-off so you can run the lower RUU, then update with the OTA.
If you're not ready for doing s-off, you might want to think about just leaving it as is, installing a custom recovery like TWRP, and flashing a custom stock ROM like the ARHD Stock Rom. You can't get OTA, but that's alright because it already is updated. Any of the custom ROMs will work fine with .401 firmwares like you have. I would recommend this route over the s-off and RUU method, honestly, that's a lot of work for little gain, unless you just absolutely must get back to stock.
Anyway, hope this helps!

Just a quick note for you my friend, the ruu you linked is a pre-release version with hboot 1.43 and no ota update. The correct ruu is 1.28.401.7 not the 1.20.401.1.
from nkk71' guide:
2) RUU.ZIP (Windows7, Mac, Linux): http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-zip-downloads/ <- this is now the preferred method instead of RUU.EXE
------> if you’ve found a RUU.ZIP proceed to post 3

You need to follow the instructions in that thread
Unlock boot loader
Flash recovery in fastboot from PC using adb with fastboot commands
Make a nandroid/backup of your stock rom
Place the SuperSu.zip on your sdcard and flash in recovery to obtain root. If you want root on stock ROM or you can just simply flash the BadBoys ROM it already comes Rooted.
Just read the OP of threads and educate yourself on what you are doing. You can learn a lot by simply taking time to read thru things thoroughly. Maybe read the same things more than once to completely understand what you are doing.
As far as the BB ROM you are already on the HK firmware. You might wanna look into obtaining Soff it makes things easier on this phone

All Roms are free the only thing that cost is the S-off tool which is sunshine.
Put it this way since you are S-on you basically have to take the official OTA all the way up to 4.4.4 cause you are on 4.4.2.
If you want to flash any ROM that is based on a version other than what you are currently on you will have issues.
For example you are on 4.4.2 and have the firmware that comes with that version. Every time we receive an update on our phones are H-boot, recovery and firmware are also flashed with an ota. The only way to upgrade your firmware being S-on is to basically put stick recovery back and be 100% stick than take ota
S-OFF allows you to by pass the crappy part having to take the entire OTA. With S-Off you can flash just the firmware and or HBoot/recovery without taking the ota.
In order to run the newer Roms that are 4.4.4 you have to no if and or buts most definitely have to be on the firmware that is for 4.4.4 and also it is recommended to update your Hboot along the way cause if you aren't in the latest firmware you will have issues like no WiFi and long as hell boot times so if I was you I would S-off for 25$ before I even went past 4.4.2

Ended up getting Digitalhigh's GPE 5.0 ROM. I wasn't able to backup before I flashed the ROM though, because I did a factory wipe of all data in TWRP, and lost my backup with that. But I was able to flash the ROM succesfully, and it's running great. If I wanted to revert back to Stock ROM how would I go about doing that? Also, what about going to different Custom ROMs? And last question. Where's the best place to find some cool apps. I'd really like a one where I can download movies/tv shows if possible.
Also, thanks a million times. I think I've got the jist of things now, and feel pretty confident venturing on my own. I really appreciate everyone being patient with me.
My M7 isn't rooted, nor does it have any mods. It is and has always been 100% stock. Last week I received the OTA update to Lollipop and since then I'm experiencing a lot of problems (like so many others). But even without the problems, I just don't like Lollipop. I don't like the new notifications, I don't like the new toggles, etc. So I would like to go back to KitKat. I have found a few tutorials but all assume your M7 isn't stock. And like I said, mine is.
A few questions:
Does the fact that my M7 is still 100% stock make reverting to KitKat easier?
It's been many years since I last flashed my phone (it was a HD2) so I really don't remember what's involved. I do remember however I need the proper RUU. How do I find out which RUU I need (I'm in the Netherlands)?
Are there any tutorials that explain how to go from stock Lollipop to stock KitKat?
If these questions have been answered a thousand times before, I apologize. I just couldn't find those answers then.

should really post this in the help and support section.
but if you are 100% pure stock then the only way you can back flash is to get s-off first, and that will cost you $25 using sunshine s-off tool, there is no other way to backflash.
also if you do decide to get s-off and go back to kitkat, your phone will constantly nagg you and give you notifications about the Lollipop update.

I posted this in the General Help sections since that's where the " [GUIDE] How to Return to 100% Stock" is, as well as several other threads that are about recovering to stock. But I see a mod has already moved it to the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section.

Well, as long as I switch off the "auto check for updates" option, I should be fine.

well post your fastboot getvar all without imei and serial number so we can locate the correct stock files and then get s-off using this: http://theroot.ninja/
Re $25, I did not pay for getting S-Off, I do remember the procedure was pretty much automatic and simple.
If you need to go s-off, but don't know how, pls let me know - I will look into my old files.
PS. I like the new Lollipop UI. But, power management is something that makes me think of rolling back to KitKat, too. I'm rooted and s-off, though.

Sunshine as far as I know is the only way to s-off HBOOT 1.61, 1.60, and 1.57, unless you have used it before, then its free to s-off the same device again, you only ever pay once.
and @Zippy1970 will be on 1.61 HBOOT as he has the official 100% stock update.
