I dont understand what image version im on bc when i look under Settings>About>Software Info I see Software Version - 1.29.651.10. So Why is that i cant run this RUU without any problems? Im using this guide... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
I Keep getting an error at the end. heres what i did
First i flashed this.... Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Deodexed.zip
Second... fastboot oem lock (from bootloader screen)
Third... Ran the setup.exe from this this Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip
Fourth... i accepted the terms but my image version said 1.31.651.2. the image version didnt match when i ran the RUU.

so im am assuming that im flashed to this version of 1.29.651.10 android so to speak, but my actual image version is1.31.651.2? if i am understanding this correctly, that means i could flash any version i want but my actual bootloader is set on this1.31.651.2. So the RUU im using will not work until there is an updated version of the RUU, right? what if i was s-off? im currently s-on. would i be able to flash it back to stock if i was s-off and the image versions didnt match in the RUU? This is my first Htc devices and im felling kinda noobish.. please help.
So here is my fix..
I flashed a bone stock rom with no root found here... or restore nandroid. I usually make a nandroid backup before i flash su.zip. but anyway, after the restore i booted into the bootloader and types fastboot oem lock. then i proceeded to reboot, but my device kept booting into bootloader. i tried fastboot erase cache which didn't help. so i grabbed the firmware from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 . In the bootloader type...
fastboot oem reboot RUU
now you should be in a black screen with the htc logo
fastboot flash zip /navigate/to/zip/file
you will get fail the first time(pre-hboot update: please flush immediately)
just make sure your device is still in the RUU mode(black screen with htc logo, if not redo first step)
fastboot flash zip /navigate/to/zip/file
it should proceed to flash and get flash successful!
oh you might get a loading bar underneath the htc logo. this is normal. just make sure that in the terminal it said successful.
unplug and hold the power till it restarts.
now you are bone stock with stock recovery. this is the closest I've came to being stock since there currently isn't a RUU tool for the latest firmware. hope this helps. BIG THANKS TO bigdaddy619 for the input!

The Software Version - 1.29.651.10 refers to the software version of the rom you are running if you were to flash a rom based on 1.31.651.2 your software version in settings would reflect that.
Since you are s-on your phone most likely came with 1.31.651.2 why are you trying to go backwards? If you just want to go back to stock there is a stock 1.31.651.2 rom(rooted and unrooted) in Indirects thread.

There is not an RUU for 1.31.651.2
I would suggest unlocking again
flash twrp 2.5.0.0
flash the Stock(no root) 1.31 rom in Indirect's thread
then relock again(your bootloader will say RE-LOCKED not LOCKED)

I kinda figured that I just had a brain fart about it. But when I flash a stock rom and relock bootloader it won't boot up I just keep booting into the bootloader. So if in was on an earlier version of 1.29.651.10 I would be able to relock and be stock, right?

Did you check the MD5 on the stock rom you were trying to flash maybe it was a bad download?

In was on it running and all. Then I proceeded and relocked. Or did I do something wrong here?

Same Issue As Techno Droid - ! SOS ! - 7 day old brick
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can assist me here, its been a week now without my phone due to my botched attempts to flash a custom rom. I have the exact same situation as TechnoDroid's initial post, and same exact fails. I tried Techno Droids fix, but am getting the following error from this command:
fastboot oem reboot RUU
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.001s]
finished. total time: 0.003s.
I've flashed the 1.31 stock ROM from Indirect's thread, and re-locked the bootloader, but I always get an OS that has no apps and begins a system boot loop after a few minutes.
Also, if I can find a compatible nandroid backup and flash it through TWRP would that be a possible fix?
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'll be looking into purchasing a backup phone from my MVNA, but would really like to unbrick this one since I paid full boat for an unlocked version!
- cheers

[Q] Returning to stock for warranty repair

Hi All,
I want to return ENTIRELY to stock so that it is untraceable that I ever wasn't on stock. I have to send my phone to HTC for repair and do not want to be charged for the repairs.
I appreciate there are many threads for this, mainly this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738
However I wanted to confirm this will work for me and be untraceable. I understand I can provide you with information about my phone which may be required?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

if you have s-off, you'll be able to run a full ruu (and possibly restore a nandroid backup, depending on which method you're using), and be able to remove TAMPERED set the phone to LOCKED and even go S-On, if you really insist.
==> result, the phone is 100% "out of the box"
If you are going to go S-On, please follow the guide properly, because it has to be done at a specific point in time, too soon is BAD, too late is BAD!
if you need more help, post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n), either here or in the guide and i'll help out as best i can.

Yes, you can go ahead and continue following the guide.
Best to use the CWM recovery I posted in post #7 as other versions have some issues when used in "fastboot boot CWM.img" mode.
As for the S-On part, please follow the guide exactly, you go S-Off to S-On, after the 1st successful OTA update, but BEFORE any update to 3.xx; because in 3.xx (hboot 1.55) going S-Off to S-On will result in a "tamper detected - rebooting" and TAMPERED is back.
By the way, from what I've read, the UK carriers & repair centers are very lenient, and don't really care about S-Off etc. especially if it's a hardware issue; but then again it's your decision.

Thanks for your prompt and detailed response.
Just to clarify, I presume you mean Android 3.x.x. I hope you understand me questioning this because obviously the HTC one was shipped with Android4.0+. Am I right in querying whether this is still going to work?
Many thanks.

no, 3.x.x refers to the software number, not the android version. If ur going to complete stock and if u are gonna change S-OFF TO S-ON, then change it to S-ON bfor u install the 4.3 update. Preferably, as soon as the RUU restore completes, do the S-ON procedure first.

nkk71, i would appreciate your help as well if you could help me to identify which RUU to download because I am really confused with so many versions of RUU. I would like to go back to stock to claim warranty on the camera's purple tint issue. BTW, im running on TWRP recovery.

Where can I check this? I am patient and will gladly check at multiple steps to ensure I am doing it at the correct one.
Also, I will be using the CWM nandroid method, can you confirm you mean after step one when I have installed the Sense 5 RUU?

see, you will be able to check this only once ur RUU restore is complete. Once u can boot into the stock firmware, go to Settings-About-Software Information-Software Number.

yes, no problem, just change CID (you're going to have to do it anyway for the RUU):
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 <- two underscores
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then downgrade hboot will work just fine.

Just to clarify, I presume you mean Android 3.x.x. I hope you understand me questioning this because obviously the HTC one was shipped with Android4.0+. Am I right in querying whether this is still going to work?
Many thanks.

Don't want to sound nasty or anything, but please make sure you've read through the guide once or twice (including post #7 which has command outputs and examples).

Not nasty at all, believe it or not I actually work in IT support and understand your frustrations when people don't listen. A small note though, obviously I seem to have hit a stumbling block on most steps, I know this sounds incredibly noobish, but also that is what these guides are aimed at, it may be reiterating that you either need to be in or re enter the RUU mode for certain steps, as obviously applying different fixes to bespoke problems leaves you in a different place to the guide which relys on it going smoothly.
Anyway, you are a genius, as expected, and that has worked. I will let you know of any more issues, thank you again for your help.

1- you mean booted into CWM not "flashed CWM recovery" right!!
2- are you using CWM 6.0.4.5 (the one i suggested in post 7), other versions have some issues with certain adb commands in "boot" mode
3- try updating adb & fastboot: http://goo.gl/T6InE
4- I recommend you put all files & folders in a short path, such as "C:\ADB" that would avoid long filename problems
try those and let me know

1 - Sorry, yes I did try the original way (booting into CWM not flashing) and when i got the aforementioned error I tried flashing, for your info I have now reflashed TWRP and am using CWM only to boot from.
2 - No I wasnt, I was user 6.0.4.6, I have now downgraded and still receive the same error.
3 - Fully updated
4- I am for the most part using my desktop, I know it just leads to more chance of an error but I have made sure there are no typos.
Just a quick query, I cannot perform the adb push when in CWM recovery....is that right? When I am in CWM my HTC does not show on the list of attached devices either. I have to boot into system before the push returns the above error, is that correct?

[CLOSED] Finding the latest firmware update for my M7

Hey all,
I'm looking to get my phone up to date. I bought my AT&T M7 a month or two after it came out and I've never upgraded the firmware or anything besides the ROM since I bought it (2yr contract is up next week, if that helps with a timeframe). I'm looking to find the latest firmware.
Should I look for the absolute latest one, or does it depend on my ROM? I'm looking to try the Android Revolution HD ROMs and didn't see anything about a specific firmware, just that it's not a bad idea to update it.
Would there be repercussions of updating? I'm currently on an unlocked bootloader and S-ON, and I might as well leave it S-ON while I'm flashing firmware to prevent bricking (from what I read, it should work as long as everything matches, and I don't see how it could be a good idea to go S-OFF to "get around" that and risk bricking).
I could use help finding the latest firmware version, since I don't really know what to look for.

No, I'm not sure what keeps failing. The output changes everytime I run the command (different fields are shown each time, the numbers are consistent for the repeated ones). Sometimes it outputs nothing and says completed, and others it outputs some stuff like above and fails. If you know what this is indicative of, that'd be nice to know as well. Note that I'm on Debian Linux and not Windows, so I suspect my version of fastboot from the repos might not be the latest one or something like that. (I do have Win 7 and 8.1 64-bit VMs at my disposal though, so Windows only solutions should work fine too, no worries)
Thanks for any and all of your time!

If your s-on and unlocked bootloader your first step should be to achieve s-off, on hboot 1.44 you can use Revone or Rummruner. all you need is custom recovery TWRP 2.6.3.3 / Root / and a rom with insecure kernel. ARHD 31.6 should work.
After your s-off you can flash this RUU.zip

I tried redownloading to no avail. Help?
Can I just OTA update from here since it boots (i.e. was the second RUU just to save time)? I'll wait until you say it's safe, since I'm worried that it'd mess up something somehow (as in accidentally re-lock or S-ON, etc).

I went ahead and just did the OTA update and skipped the last RUU zip and it all worked out fine. Thanks a million!

[Q] (Q) Lollipop soft brick help please

Hi all,
My friend handed me his HTC One M7 the other day and it was looping at the beginning Android / HTC screen from boot, he took the lollipop update but it failed somewhere along the way and this is how it's ended up.
The device is not rooted and is not bootloader unlocked, i've tried to flash a few RUU files to bring it back to life but the vast majority of them only get as far as 1/5 checking header.
I'm more than happy to root the device and install a custom rom but I wasn't sure if it needed to be bootable to do so, afaik the bootloader unlocking doesn't require to have the device on, infact I don't think you need to have the OS to get a custom recovery either? Anyway, i'd like for him to retain his warranty so if there's a way for him to get it back to stock HTC then i'd prefer to do that.
If that's not possible and unlocking the bootloader, installing a custom rom is then I'll do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
PS: I have had the m7 before but I didn't have it when android 5 was available so i'm a little out of touch with what may go wrong.

Connect the phone to your computer, Boot it in bootloader mode select "fastboot" mode and make sure "fastboot usb" is shown in red. Open a fastboot command prompt:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
post the output here but make sure to hide the imei and serialno before posting.

Thanks mate I'm in bed at the moment but will do after work tomorrow,, Appreciate your help, im guessing this is to see what firmware is installed? Or hboot? I'll come back tomorrow, Many thanks.

Firmware, hboot, CID, MID, S-ON/S-OFF, M7_UL/M7_U

Checking header 1/5..ill give you a clue...your ruu that you going to flash,it has to match firmware that is on it now...as you are s-on,you cant change firmware.so,try with other ruu's,some that maches firmware number..not older,not newer.
And like others said,give them "getvar all" info.

Would recommend to simply flash the latest ruu (7.19.401.2) which will fix and update the phone to the latest version.

I did actually try that one mate, that's how i got the 1/5 checking headers problem, and it simply doesn't go any further, i'll give it another whirl but as far as i can remember it was that version.
brb after checking.
Actually I didn't flash one of these but the version does ring a bell. Downloading now mate.
The previous one i mentioned i flash via fastboot flash zip but it still loops, 20 mins until that one downloads. Will let you know and thank you by the way.

I'm 100% confident it will work. Just make sure to use the fastboot version linked in that thread which is a version made by HTC. Only this version of fastboot will work to flash this ruu since the "normal" fastboot can't handle the file size of that ruu. Also make sure your bootloader is locked or relocked.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot reboot

Oh really? Why didn't i know this !? See I've been gone from HTC for far too long, should be getting the M9 soon though. One of my contracts expires soon, i've got a few, need to check on them. You thinking of getting the M9 ? Think Samsung has made a mistake going with the Exynos.
Ok it's downloaded, i'll grab that fastboot and give it a whirl. Fingers crossed.

I'm 100% confident it will work. Just make sure to use the fastboot version linked in that thread which is a version made by HTC. Only this version of fastboot will work to flash this ruu since the "normal" fastboot can't handle the file size of that ruu. Also make sure your bootloader is locked or relocked.

Oh really? Why didn't i know this !? See I've been gone from HTC for far too long, should be getting the M9 soon though. One of my contracts expires soon, i've got a few, need to check on them. You thinking of getting the M9 ? Think Samsung has made a mistake going with the Exynos.

I'll might grab the M9 later this year when the price will drop a bit. I'm still satisfied with my M7 and doesn't feel like I need something more.

Dont forget you'll need the dll files in the same folder where you have htc's fastboot and the ruu. You can simply replace fastboot.exe with htc's fastboot in your sdk folder were the required dll files are

you have downloaded the 7.19.401.102 version. You have to use the 7.19.401.2 version hence why the "check ID fail". .102 version is for M7_U and .2 version is for M7_UL (the one you have).

Would recommend to simply flash the latest ruu (7.19.401.2)

read my post above you are flashing the wrong ruu. You need 4.19.401.2 not 4.19.401.102

Ah, idiot. Sorry
Couldn't see a european one though? This device is unlocked, wouldn't it have the providers software on otherwise?

Ok downloading, sorry mate, my eyes are failing me, getting old.

Ok so I think it's all done mate, looks like it's going to load up, I mean the script has finished running but the green bar is still onscreen.

[Fixed] Bricked Hboot 1.44 with RUU 1.31 (Explanation on how solved in OP)

[Fixed][Solution]
This should work for anyone who soft bricked there device but still has the 1.44 HBoot to allow them to still flash a recovery. I did not come up with any of this but was helped by nkk71 who showed me the way. I dealt with this problem for over 2 days now non-stop trying to fix it only missing 1 step that made all the difference.
This method is for a HTC One (M7) Sprint Variant:
-Be sure to use HTCDev to unlock your phone and flash a custom recovery. (I used TWRP)
-Be sure to have all the adb and fastboot exe files needed. If you bricked your phone you most likely already do but if not there are tons of links on the forums to help you get all the information you need from them.
-Check to make sure what RUU your phone is at by going into fastboot and using a cmd window type: fasboot getvar all. This will display your phones information. If you happen to be at 1.31 like my phone was you will need to do the next step, if not then find your recovery.
- Fix your version main to say 1.29.651.10 by editing the misc partition
Boot into recovery
In the recovery mount your device. I mounted all parts in TWRP.
Open a cmd window and doucle check that your device is connected by typing: adb devices
(If it shows a set up numbers and letters and then says recovery then that is your device.)
Now type: adb shell
type: echo "1.29.651.10" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 seek=160
type: adb reboot bootloader
Once it loads back into the bootloader click on fastboot and check to see if your device is connected by typing: fastboot devices
If you see you device type: fastboot oem lock (This will relock your device)
- Now you are ready to run the RUU. (After it runs your phone is back to stock)
If any of this is confusing, there are links below that were used to get me through this. If you need to do this I wish you luck.
Original Post:
So basically I erased everything. Not sure how but phone Bricked. Luckily i have a 1.44Hboot and I simply just burned the recovery back.
Unforunately I've stopped messing with phones for about 2 years so it took me forever to get everything set back up properly. Now my biggest issue is I can't manage to get a ROM to boot anymore. The closest one is ViperOne 8, I've tried Android Revolution HD91.1 (which started all my troubles), NUSenSeven which is having issues for more people as well, and tried a very basic Stock M7 one.
Any information you give please act like I'm stupid. I can do adb and fastboot, but if you just say flash it, please dont expect me to know how. I've forgotten tons.
Anyways, currently my phone shows the:
*Tampered*
*Unlocked*
S-On
I have been trying to get it to S-off and then remove the Tampered but I can't get s-off with Revone.
Gives me Error = 1 and I'm just totally lost. But not I can't even seem to get a ROM to load and when it does I have no Service on this phone anymore and I have to remove the HTCsetupwizard.apk. Unfortunately sometimes this does not show up in system/app and under system might not show anything at all.
If that is standard to happen right after a fresh install without loading then that kind of makes sense. Also, I only wait about 10minutes on booting for the roms. Only Rom I wait longer on is the ViperOne 8 as it shows upgrading.
Please advise, I'm will to try anything. I'm having a huge headache with this and throwing the phone into a wall is becoming a reality.

1- please post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI, MEID and s/n)
2- looks like you're on Sprint, which is different that the GSM version of the M7, and has a different partition table
3- you may need to use an RUU to get your partitions back to normal
4- revone wont work on such new ROMs, even if hboot is 1.44 the ROM still plays a factor
let's start with the "fastboot getvar all" output

2) Yes on Sprint, but with no activation on this phone now.
3) RUU would be 1.31, I relocked phone and went to use the RUU but don't know how to flash it.
4) I figured that with Revone thats why I attempted the RUU but got stuck there. I'll have to refind the RUU again though as I downloaded about 40GB yesterday and my SSD doesn't have that much room anymore. Waiting for windows 10 which is far away.
BTW, Thank you for the response.

okay, so it's a Sprint M7 with a messed up partition table, so yes, best course of action is probably RUUing

revone will need hboot 1.44 (dated pre June 2013) and a compatible ROM to work.
So course(s) of action:
A) fix your version main to say 1.29.651.10 by editing the misc partition; example here
then run full 1.29.651.10 RUU.EXE
then you can use revone
or
B) flash newer version RUU.EXE
use sunshine (paid app $25) to get S-OFF
note: you will likely need to update firmware first for the ruu to work properly
hope that points you in the right direction

it's an "old trick", i take no credit at all for it ... as long as hboot version is the same, fixing the version-main (using adb or even the "misctool" <- it's somewhere on xda, dont have a link handy atm) should work fine

I'd like to do option A but unfortunately I do not know how to use adb in recovery. I only know how to use it when android is running. The rest I should be able to do.

you use adb shell same in recovery (actually better) as you use it in a booted & rooted rom, unfortunately, i can't do that right now, so either @alray will have to help you

So do this mean that I am ready to run the .exe while in fastboot?
Of course after relocking the device. just want to confirm as I tried this earlier but missed the first step which was most likely crucial.

I have a phone again. Thank you so much.
Imagine someone frustrated for over 2days spending 10+ hours a day readying, flashing and trying everything to get their phone to work with limited knowledge.
Now imagine that same person jumping up and down with joy. (That's me now)
Thank you so much for your help. Your links did the trick, they were what I couldn't find.
Now that I know how to do this, I'm going to try RevOne, flash a new Firmware and then flash one of the new roms I wanted. If any of this fails then I'm done with this stuff for some time, haha.

I copied and pasted, its exactly what I used. If it's wrong let me know and I'll fix though.
Another update though is I am now Unlocked with S-Off w/o Tampered. Basically what I wanted.
Now should be my last questions, but it's a good idea to update to the newest firmware correct?
Firmware will never be able to stop me from achieve what I just did to fix the phone correct?

Yup, I was going to not do a thing until I had a response. I was just worried I'd somehow mess it up. Just one confirmation that it looked good was enough to give me confidence.
