HTC One Developer Edition: WiFi and Bluetooth fail

Hello friends. First of all, I apologize if I am not very clear, but I have little knowledge of English, and to be faster I'll use a translator...
Since about a week ago, my HTC One Developer Edition is showing me errors with WiFi and Bluetooth. These are off steadily even when in use. At first I thought it was a failure of the last installed ROM (ARHD 40.1), but I've tried others such as CM11 without installing any mod and restore my latest nandroid backup, but I have had the same result.
Apart from changing the ROM all I remember doing is to update the firmware, so yesterday I upgraded to the new firmware version to see if solved, but still follows the failure. Do not think it's a hardware failure because the mobile is not second hand, has not suffered any drop and was always working perfectly, so I ask your help and attached the information that shows the phone using fastboot getvar all command if serving them for a diagnosis. Thanks in advance.

What should I use? Because I see several for Dev Edition on this list:
[COLLECTION] HTC M7 RUU, OTA, and Stock Nandroid Downloads

Either one will do, they're just slightly different version numbers 1.29.1540.16 and 1.29.1540.3, might as well go for the .16. You'll have to download from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
then you can follow my guide (in my signature), because you need to downgrade hboot to 1.44 separately first, before you can run the RUU. (just the first part about downgrading hboot, the rest of the guide is for people who want to return the phone for warranty)
Also keep S-Off, do NOT go S-On!!!

Yes, but I don't see changes. (Later, I change the "Keep WiFi on during idle" to Always), but just keeps running and then switching off when it want, and when it goes off, just says "activating", infinite loop until I restart.. Same for bluetooth.

Well, without ideas, I sent the phone to HTC America, for guarantee. I had to pay $ 70 shipping because I live in Dominican Republic (No HTC), but after 15 days I received my phone in perfect working (they did not even scratch), and by the way, apparently they changed my camera ... It's not purple! :laugh:
Thanks for all your help friends. :highfive:

[Q] HELP with updating HTC One to 4.4...

Hello, I have a rooted international HTC One currently running 4.3 Android with Sense 5.0. I am trying to perform an OTA system update that I have received... I downloaded the new 4.4 Android (1.1 GB) and I have selected "Install Update". But when the phone restarts, it just enters recovery and opens TWRP by itself!
So then I try to flash the downloaded OTA file via TWRP, but that also fails... Does anyone know how I can get 4.4 on my HTC One? Thank you

You can't apply ota with a custom recovery, you need your stock recovery.

Depending on whats been done to the phone you can eather flash stock recovery and try the update from their or you have to ruu back to stock and take the update that way.
fastboot getvar all will tell you what stock recovery you need or what ruu to use

So would you recommend getting stock recovery following nkk71's guide in your signature, or should I just flash a 4.4 rom?

Do what cIsA said. Check the output of "fastboot getvar all". Look at your main-ver # and find the corresponding stock recovery. There is a thread in general section with a collection of stock recovery.
You can post the output of getvar here minus imei/sn and we will link you the correct recovery.

Okay so I ran a fastboot getvar all, and apparently there is no RUU for my device, because it is Latin American with a CID of HTC_332. (I searched almost everywhere)
Now, after flashing a 4.4 rom I downloaded, my HTC device wasn't turning on anymore (it was getting stuck at the HTC boot logo). So I restored from a backup I made in TWRP, and that didn't work either. So now my problem just got 1000x worse because of a mistake I just made now of completely wiping my device and the OS.
So for the moment I'll try to flash a new boot.img, get S-OFF again, and change the CID to 11111111 (as I have read) where I will then download a RUU I can use. I'll let you know what happens.

Whoa there.. No need to flash boot.IMG.
What's you're steps? I think you are about to make it worse
sent from my mobile device

Okay well I'm in a tight situation atm.
My phone is completely wiped, with no OS or anything. The only thing I have access to is fastboot, and the TWRP bootloader. Also considering my phone is wiped, I believe I have S-ON as well.
So what is the first step to just get a boot going? (unless I'm not completely screwed that is..)
EDIT- I have successfully flashed Android Revolution to my phone from TWRP by pushing the zip via adb fastboot. Got my phone running again. Step 1 complete.
Step 2 now is to get S-OFF again...
Step 3- Change my CID to 11111111 using the SuperCID method (there is no RUU for my Latin American CID; HTC_332)
Step 4- Use an appropriate RUU to get 4.4 stock after I have changed my CID.
Before I continue with these steps, can anyone confirm with me if I am on the right path?

Step 2 - Confirmed.
Step 3 & Step 4 ... What is an appropriate RUU? You have not yet posted a fastboot getvar all output yet. (remove imei)

I had the same cid when I bought mine. Irc, MID was PN0711000 with s.w. X.XX.599.X.
so he could use the 1.29.401.2 ruu on htc1guru but he have to change cid.

These CID:
HTC__001
HTC__J15
HTC__A48
HTC__M27
are compatible with the 1.29.401.2 ruu.zip so i'll suggest you to use HTC__001 if you change your mind. Personally, I would stay on ARHD. No benefit to flash that RUU vs ARHD. ARHD is always up to date...

Stock Radio from 7.19.401.51

Has anyone the stock radio.img (or something else)? My radio changed with a custum rom to 4T.xxxxxx but as far as I remember mine was originally 4A.xxxxxx . I need the one from the latest version (7.19.401.51).
I am pretty much full stock again but only the radio bugs me.
Thanks for every reply!

Flashing custom roms doesn't change your radio. Unless it's a guru reset Rom. But then it is an option during the installer and will always be the correct radio for the Rom.
Also 4A.xxxxxx are the older radios the latest ones start with 4T.xxxxxxx. Where are you reading your radio version from? In Android Settings? or with fastboot getvar command?

It stands in the bootloader and yes it was a guru reset.
So, you mean that 4A is just older then 4T and everything is the same, right?

If the guru reset matches your current firmware then it will be fine. If your not sure. Post the output of

Ok so what are your reasons for going back to stock. Warranty? OTA updates? Or you just want your device stock?
I ask because your device is s-on with lollipop firmware. If you want to claim on the warranty you need to be s-off.
For OTA updates or just because you want a stock device it's just a case of flashing the correct Rom or RUU. If you've flashed a JB stock reset that will be no good as your firmware requires a lollipop Rom.

I just wanted the stock firmware. I flashed the 4.3 guru reset back in 2014 when it was not as old as it is now. And there was nowhere a ruu with radio 4A. and the next best one was with 4T.

In which case I would just flash the lollipop ruu. It will set your device back to full stock firmware and rom. You g can download the RUU here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960689843
You will need to relock your bootloader because your s-on. Ànd backup any important data as this will wipe your device. Then flash the RUU with htc_fastboot. Which you can download here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550031
Download htc_fastboot and the RUU. Copy both files to your existing fastboot folder and rename the RUU zip file to something simple. e.g "ruu"
Boot your device to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. Then relock your bootloader and flash the RUU with the following commands.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Wait for reboot
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
The device will reboot during the flash, and the progress bar on the phone won't quite reach 100% that's normal. Wait till the command windows competes it's output with a successful message then
Code:
fastboot reboot
That's it you now have latest stock rom and firmware. You can unlock the bootloader again if you want by flashing the Unlock code.bin the same as the first time and flash twrp recovery, or leave it as it is in stock condition :good:

Btw, when looking for a RUU, radio versions are irrelevant. You want to find a RUU that match your version-main. All 7.xx.xxx.x versions now have the same 4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L radio version so if looking for a RUU using the radio version, it will bring you tons of RUUs and only one of them will fit your phone, that one Danny201281 linked above.. :good:

Thank you both very much. Then my problem should be solved. Again, thank you!

hello just wanted to say a big thankyou for this guide. Been on a couple of days trying to get my htc one m7 running again following various guides on you tube. This one has finally sorted out my phone back to stock after it flipped out during a delete data from an app. Thanks again. One happy man

big thanks for this post. It helped me alot during saving my old "dead" One M7 after getting S-ON & relocked and got back to stock again.

Thank YOU! YOU HELP ME! BEST TOPIC EVER! YEEEEEEEEEES YEEEEEEEEEEES

Post your fastboot getvar all output, but erase your IMEI and serial number from it. That way we will be able to point you in the right direction

What a coincidence!
I'm about to "unroot" my old HTC M7 for my kid so he can play Pokemon Go on it.
It has TWRP 3.0.2-0 on it, and the fastboot getvar of it looks like this:

I'm new at this, can you tell me please how did you get the fastboot getvar?

thanks but I figure it out, I´m trying to sell my device and the buyer needs it to play the same Pokemon Go that is why she want it unroot.

Hmmm rethinking this now.
Not sure if this "old" device will be able to play Pokémon Go when flashed to the original "old" ROM!
it needs Android 4.4+

This old device received officiall Android Lollipop years ago, so you'll be fine with pokemon go. I'm gonna see if I have my old h-boot stored for you when I come home from work. I think you can go directly to the last one because your phone is s-off, but I'm not sure about that because your h-boot is very old. If you can hold on for about 12 hours, I'll point you to the right direction then

Should update his firmware to 7.19.401.2 using the full firmware zip and than he can flash the 7.19.401.51 RUU.

Downgrade your version-main # to 7.18.708.2 using the guide at the end of this post (how to downgrade with s-on). Once done flash the 7.18.708.21 RUU using instruction of this post. Finally you'll have to take 2 ota update so you're back on 7.18.708.51 (if you need to unlock/root again make sure to install update before)

fastboot oem rebootRUU will make your phoned reboot in ruu mode (that black screen with silver htc logo). Once in ruu mode, it's time to flash the ruu using "fastboot flashing zip ruu.zip". During the flashings process you should get an error saying "flush image again immediately", the phone will reboot itself in ruu mode again and the flashing will continue,it's all normal.

If the ruu flashed fine, it's not rooted anymore. Root files are stored on the /system partition which is wiped and flashed back to stock with the ruu.

I'm about to flash the phone.
Can this all be done with TWRP, or do I need to go the ADB way?

Flashing firmware or RUU is done using fastboot commands in RUU mode, not with twrp, neither with adb.

Now flashing the ruu using htc_fastboot.exe
Look at the stickies in the general section to find the lollipop ruu collection thread. Instructions how to flash are provided at post #1.

possible brickage

i attempted to unlock bootloader on my wife's old HTC M7 (Australian/Vodafone), i was able to unlock the bootloader, but had to do some serious trial and error to get a custom recovery installed, eventually got an older twrp loaded, but the phone just refused to boot into recovery.
i then relocked the bootloader (no S-OFF), and when i try and unlock he bootloader now, the phone attempts to boot into the recovery, and is failing...
i've been trying to find an RUU from somewhere, just to blat the phone back to an old state, and try again.
are there RUUs available anywhere? i dont' care if its not for the local carrier, i just want to get a basic android rom on the thing.
However, im curious if i need to s-off to do this (wasnt the case with my previous HTC)
help!
<<<I NOW KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, I WAS FLASHING RECOVERY FROM THE HTC M8, NOT M7>>>
any ideas?

Really bad idea to relock the bootloader with a custom recovery, well you shouldn't relock at all if there is anything "custom" installed on your phone.The process of unlocking bootloader requires the stock recovery. The only way to flash the recovery partition is when the bootloader is unlocked or by flashing a signed firmware.zip or ruu.zip. The firmware.zip or ruu.zip must match your version-main, CID and MID.

Its not working like that. If your phone is S-ON the ruu must be made for your carrier (must match CID and MID, must be same or newer version-main)
post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno)

ok, i've been trying with a bunch of RUUs i found on the web, and trying to flash inside RUU (wasnt 100% sure what rebooting to RUU was for actually)
the CID is VODAP021, i will need to check when i get back home to see what the MID is, its not the GPE of the m7, if that helps, you reckon if i find an OTA update, and extract out the ruu.zip, it might blat a stock recovery on? will i need to use htc_fastboot, or just the standard fastboot?
my nexus 5 has finally shat it (small child cracked screen, now screen has crapped itself), just want to get a basic android build onto the m7 in the final few weeks before the new pixel phones are out...

You can extract a firmware.zip (not an ruu) from an ota update and flash it to restore the stock recovery. You must use the right version. Waiting for your fastboot getvar all.

7.21.980.51 is the latest version for vodap021 and can't find a 7.21.980.51 firmware.zip or ota.zip.
At least there is a 7.21.980.51 ruu on ir-file.com, bad news is that you must register to this website to be able to download (20$ for 30 days)
http://ir-file.com/show.php?token=32375

i can load the phone into the OS btw, i've a feeling that OTA might on the device, you think its' accessible using a non-root browser? i could maybe get the ota zip off the device and try flashing that in RUU?

Yes, if you can capture the ota this is the best option (because its free). Look in your /download folder, you're looking for a long file name starting with "OTA_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60" and ending with ".zip". Save it on your computer and extract the "firmware.zip" file from it. Then reboot in RUU mode and flash the firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you should be able to unlock again.

it worked! thank you..
