why not just leave your device as it is and flash a custom 4.19 rom?
most of the posts in this thread are from people who have screwed up their device trying to relock and RUU.

I've allready locked the device, stock recovery.. but still can't det rid of the root.. and it doesn't even run.. from the begining it didn't.. said su binary.. bla bla bla...

this is fastboot getvar all

checking for updates....... ERROR: cannot check for updates

i like it.. but on my mind is stock.. i've got problems with my old phone (htc one x) with custom rom, but it was carier dependent and wouldn't recieve OTAs

Have you tried flashing the RUU your device came with? Then OTA update to latest

now i'm on custom rom, S-OFF, Unlocked, Rooted and hboot downgraded (1.44) so at this point i can flash the ruu.exe for my htc one (x.401.x.x) but still i don't know if i'll manage to get it back to the Cosmote rom (had some cool programs installed on it)..

if you want to go back to stock and you have s-off and 1.44 hboot then the only thing you need to do is to download and run the 1.28.401.7 ruu.exe from htc1guru.com
it will wipe your phone and restore to stock rom and stock recovery. you will still be s-off. Just don't forget that if you want to remove the tempered flag, you should do it before the ruu

Help with radio upgrade

I wasn't going to bother with upgrading my radio as don't have any issues, however I get LTE as part of my service plan now and thought, maybe it would be beneficial to do so.
I've got the international HTC One, I bought it before the first OTA update I think, and I rooted it just after. That means I missed out on the 4.2 and 4.2.2 OTA if I'm correct, maybe more updates if there were any.
The only reason I even found out that I may need a radio update is because when I went to get my AR52 update, I got mad and decided to S-Off as well (God bless you firewater!)
I'm not a noob but I'm not up on the differences in radios for the HTC One. Should I flash the latest? And if I do, do I have to re-lock the bootloader? I read in comments that I don't, and I really don't wanna go through the hassle of re-installing and backing up my pics and etc etc.

1- No need to (re)lock bootloader if you're S-Off.

1- edit your post and remove IMEI
2- same answer as above, except you should use GPE firmware if your using GPE. (radio can be any, try different ones... see which one is best for you)

thanks so much. I'll flash the radio sometime soon. I LOVE S-OFF!!!!

Recommend you keep a few on the phone, and try different ones when you think you're getting bad reception.
(That's what I do :silly: , since no wiping is involved, I just enter recovery, flash radio reboot, and see if it changed anything),
but for me the radio from 4.19.401.8/9: Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L is proving to be the best.
BTW: you can even flash radios with S-On (but not firmware)

1) https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B2JzZ_fh3QOGTjdyLUxyYWp4Vms
2) Extract the zip into a folder. Name this folder as 'fastboot'. (Well, u can name it as anything u want)
3) Install HTC Sync Manager from the HTC website
4) On your HTC One, go 2 settings and disable fast boot in power settings
5) Turn off your One
5) Keep the power+volume down pressed till u reach a white screen
6) Press the power button when u see 'FASTBOOT' highlighted. This will put your phone in fastboot mode
7) Open the 'fastboot' folder (or whatever u named it) which u created
8) Shift+Right click inside the folder. Open command prompt here
9) Type this in command prompt WITHOUT the quotation "fastboot getvar all"
10) Ull see a long output. Remove the imei and S/N. Post it here

So confused - OTA Updates & Rooted/Modified M7 - please help!

Hi all,
My girlfriend has a HTC One M7, currentley Rooted with an Unlocked bootloader, Bulletproof Kernel, CWM Recovery, S-On (can't get S-OFF no matter what I try) and running the stock 4.4.2 Sense ROM that came with the phone.
She wants to install an OTA update, obviously this won't work with the phone in it's current state. I've got experience with all of this with my Note II, but the M7 is just a whole different can of worms.
What I've tried:
Getting S-OFF (no luck whatsoever with any tools)
Flashing stock recovery and kernel
Flashing stock recovery and kernel and applying the OTA manually via recovery
I've read everything on here and nothing seems to go in. She just wants to be able to install OTA updates, even if it means unrooting her phone permanently as this will happen each time there is an OTA update.
Someone, please guide me in the right direction! Step by step maybe?
Keep in mind there is no way I can't get S-OFF.
Huge thanks to anyone that can help. I'd be eternally in your debt!!

I suppose the phone is trying to apply to ota update and then show a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside?
What I've tried:
Getting S-OFF (no luck whatsoever with any tools) Any error message when trying to S-OFF? You must use the correct tool for your hboot version (probably firewater) + combination of the correct rom + kernel
Flashing stock recovery and kernel --> You must have stock recovery for ota, ota will not install using a custom one.
Flashing stock recovery and kernel and applying the OTA manually via recovery --> appyling the ota manually from stock recovery require s-off

Didn't get that message, just keeps going indefinetley or stops, and doesn't S-OFF. Tried Firewater, Revone, RumRunner, if there is another then I've almost certainly tried it, followed all the guides including the one that flashed Android Revolution...no idea..

forget the ruu, your phone version is higher than the ruu. flashing a ruu (4.11.401.10) with a lower version than on your phone(4.11.401.11) require s-off.

No, this is the latest stock rom(5.11.401.10) for your phone model (MID: PN0710000 and CID:HTC__001) including android 4.4.2 and sense 6.0
You can flash this stock odexed rom(5.11.401.10) from custom recovery, then flash the stock recovery(5.11.401.10) over the custom one and your phone will be stock and ready to take future ota update. You may also want to update firmware to 5.11.401.10

So after flashing that rom and stock recovery, ota would be ready to roll? Would the kernel matter?
What's the purpose / Difference of firmware and how is it updated? On my note II it was just choose a rom choose a kernel and off you go. This is so much more involved

stock kernel in included in the rom (boot.img) so if you don't flash any other kernel it should be fine.

firmware is all the low level code required for your phone hardware to works with the software (OS)
when speaking about HTC phone, firmware.zip include HBOOT(bootloader), BOOT(kernel), Recovery, Radio and some other stuff. if you want your phone to be 100% stock you need both stock rom + stock firmware to match the same version i.e 5.11.501.10
normally, the firmware is updated at the same time the rom version is updated (from an ota update) If you flash a rom, the rom will be updated but not the firmware.
Updating the firmware manually can be dangerous is you don't know what you are doing and flashing the wrong file. You can update firmware using this command from bootloader (with the correct firmware.zip package in the same folder you have adb and fastboot):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
also it looks like flashing a 5.x.xxx.x firmware over a 3.x.xxx.x firmware will brick your phone. from what i see, your phone should be on a 4.x.401.x version at the moment, so it theory it should be fine.

Fails on:
>>>setting permissions
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/one_5.11.401.10_odexed.zip
(status 7)
Tried 3 different versions of cwm. Bad rom download?
Thinking about it I just re read your above post, could it be because the firmware isn't matched? I read your 'it should be fine' as 'dont update the firmware' not 'its fine to update' which I think is what you meant...
Firmware is 4.19.401.11 however the rom is 5.11.401.10. Can't believe I overlooked this, guess firmware needs to be 5.11.401.10 for the rom to take?

[Q] Just need stock recovery. No root. No ROM. S-ON

I am computer stupid. More so with phones. This is my brothers old phone. It has TWRP installed. Not rooted. No custom ROM.
All I want to do is get back the stock recovery so I can get this annoying "System update available" message to stop popping up all the time. The update is for software version 6.07.1540.1. Looks like it would upgrade to 4.4.3 as well.

That is what the bootloader has on it. It is the developer edition if that changes anything. I am using it currently on Straight Talk.
Android Version is 4.4.2
Sense Version is 6
Software number is 5.11.1540.9
I will provide any other details you may need. I am sorry if this has been covered before, which I am sure it has. I have read thread after thread and haven't learned anything.
Please explain like I am a mentally disabled 3 year old. If it is complicated I will hire you as a private tutor to walk me through it.
Thank you in advance for your help. I do apologize if this question is redundant. I just don't understand the other threads answers out there.

Ok let's start with some preliminary basics so I can understand exactly what I'm dealing with here
Do you know what adb is, and how to use it?
Do you know what fastboot is and how to use it?
What Operating system do you have on your pc? Windows 8 or 7, Linux, or if your using a Mac, Mac osx?

no to adb. yes to fastboot. I can make the bootloader say "fastboot usb". I have the fastboot stuff on my windows 8 laptop.
I am using windows 8 on this laptop but have his windows 7 laptop that he used which should still have all the tools needed to put TWRP on there.

Ok well it's better to use Windows 7, Windows 8 drivers can be problematic and may confuse things.
Do you know if your brother has used ota updates since unlocking the bootloader? The reason I ask is that unlocking the bootloader wipes some important pre-loaded apps from the device. And will cause the update to fail and soft-brick the phone.
Your brother may have known this so it's possible he restored the complete stock Rom previously but it's better to know before hand.
Can you connect fastbootusb then in the fastboot command line type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Then post the output here. Please Edit out the imei and Serial no from the information before posting.

I know he intended to put a custom ROM on but never did. All he did was install TWRP. There have been no OTA updates that came out since he did that. This one is the first. He did root through TWRP once but ran into a boot loop and restored through TWRP to before the Root and always has said no when TWRP ask if you want to root.
He is in the military and stayed with me while he was back for a while. I am also calling him in between post and asking him questions.

Ok good thanks. So are you against using a custom Rom? It may be the easiest way to update the phone at this point and will solve the problem of the annoying update notification.
Or would you prefer to keep it stock?

I would like to keep it stock because I plan on selling it on eBay soon. Maybe. Stock phones bring in more cash than custom ROM phones.
Though if it is too difficult to bring to stock, I will ROM it and just keep it. As I understand it, if it's a good ROM it can help keep it up to par with current phones a little longer than a stock ROM would.

How hard will it be to get the stock recovery. Your questions make it seem like it is going to be quite an undertaking.
If that is the case, then yes I will custom ROM it.
Though I would like to know what the process would be for the stock recovery. Just to see if it would be something I could do. It does not have to be a detailed explanation. Just something to get a better idea of.

That's why all the questions, I'm just trying to understand exactly what you expect the end result to be since the procedures are quite different depending on what you want to end up with.
To be honest getting a stock recovery is easy very easy. But restoring the stock pre-load data is not. You need a complete stock Rom including the pre-loaded apps or the OTA update will soft-brick your phone. Normally not difficult to recover from but in some cases has caused irreversible effects.
Returning to stock for sale or Warranty is whole different ball game. For that you first need to make the device s-off.
Currently it is s-on so you won't be able to set the bootloader back to ****LOCKED**** and you won't be able to remove the ****TAMPERED**** flag on the bootloader screen. There for the buyer or repair center would know that the phone was tampered with at some point.
You can use a reset zip to restore the stock software but the only one I can find for your device is older than your current firmware and again will cause problems when installing ota updates.
Once again because the phone is s-on you cannot downgrade the firmware only HTC signed firmware updates are possible with s-on.
This I'd why I suggested a custom Rom. You can simply flash a custom 4.4.3 Rom and that's that. The ota update notification will be gone and the phone will be running the latest software.
Custom roms generally are better in performance than Stock roms and yes you can normally get custom roms for newer software releases than were ment for the device. Although official support has not ended for the HTC One so there are still updates to come.
If you do want to return to stock to sell the phone your first priority is achieving s-off. Then take a look at this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082.
The procedure for flashing a recovery weather it is stock or custom is the same and very simple. Download your chosen recovery. (which will be a .img file) put the .img file in your fastboot folder on your pc.
Now connect fastbootusb in the bootloader and in the command line type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery".img
fastboot erase cache
Obviously changeing "nameofrecovery".img for the actual name of the recovery file.
Or last and probably best option would be to achieve s-off. Then you can do pretty much whatever you want to it.

[Q] Allllrighty then - no touchscreen after firmware flash

So it's been a good few days with my M7 given to me by a friend. I am totally new at the whole custom ROM thing but had no problems with root, unlock, s-off, etc. but took me many hours as I've rarely used Cmd functions. Still have stock 4.1.2 sense 5.0. Time to move forward so ..... downloaded TWRP and ROM Installer, etc. Decided to update firmware next as some ROMs need later and lost touchscreen function. No other issues, boots fine into whatever and recovers into TWERP with full function of touchscreen. Should I flash older firmware or can I loaded newer ROM through TWERP to get back in the game ? need to answer calls and texts at some point soon !

If you have Stock 4.1.2 rom and the latest firmware that's almost certainly your problem. But rather than flashing older firmware why not flash a newer rom ?

Exactly what I was intending to do anyway which was reason for firmware upgrade (guess I put the cart before the horse 1) , can I do this through TWRP ? Do I download said ROM on my laptop and copy to directory on phone then load through TWRP ? Thanks for your help. As i stated , this is all new territory to me ....... any guidance appreciated (or links to assist) thanks.

Ok start with this http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_84.0.zip
Android Kitkat 4.4.3 Sense 6
Download the rom and put the file in your fastboot folder on your PC and rename it rom.zip. Boot to TWRP recovery (2.6.3.3 Recommended) and connect your usb cable. Check adb is working with
Code:
adb devices
If you get the expected out put
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push is complete. Factory reset and install the rom from TWRP

Gotta ask a quick question , just curious. I cannot download the rom onto PC then drag to folder on the phone then install through TWRP ? Not questioning method and advice given , just thinking as I have no experience and seems like it would do the same, but I wouldn't know ! I will proceed through command prompt as recommended for now .....

Yes with TWRP 2.8.4.0 you can just copy the file to the phone in windows .. no need to push as TWRP supports MTP now

Awesome. As stated, all was well until flashing firmware 6.06.401.1 which may have been too big of a jump for my stock 4.1.2. The flash showed successful and went fine but I've read elsewhere that I should have been "relocked" before flashing , then unlocked after ? I am not seeing this step on all instructions ( I followed this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 ) Also didn't verify model ID (PN0712000) , may need to find a different firmware and re-flash ? Never got errors , just lost touch screen (which sounds common). Thanks all , hittin' the sack as this download from Android Rev is taking forever (need a torrent) ! Goodnight and thanks for feedback to come (something to look forward to in the AM).

Well you could always change your CiD to Dev Edition and flash the Dev Edition firmware. And no you do not need to relock your bootloader to flash firmware, That is only for S-on users. Your phone is s-off :good:
The problem with the touch screen will be the big gap between firmware and rom. think of it like using Window 8 with Windows 95 Drivers

Thanks all - everything up and running. Didn't go developer but may consider if there are any real advantages (I would assume only if running stock, correct ?) Not sure when they'll be releasing Lollipop for this M7 but supposedly soon
