I am on rumrunner hboot 1.55.5555.
I have been having some strange problems, and am wondering if my hboot could be the source. I think it is the only part of the firmware I haven't flashed trying to fix things. The main problem I am having is no service on non-sense roms. It started when I flashed ViperOne, with a full wipe, coming from Noctournal GE. I flashed back to a stock based ROM, and service is back. But I can no longer flash non-sense roms and have functioning service.
I flashed OMJ's modified firmware and twrp 2.6.3.4, then did a full wipe - didn't fix anything. Tried to RUU - it says "The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again." When the utility showed the old and new baseband [?] numbers before it tried to flash, they were the same.
I am about to flash the unmodified firmware in the hopes that it will fix something, will report my findings. If anyone could steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! :highfive:
It's not a firmware problem. If you want to use it with GSM networks you need a SENSE rom, it has always been like this. The ruu probably doesn't work because you are trying to downgrade and are s-on. If you want to downgrade you need to be s-off, or find a ruu that is the same version or newer than the current firmware

What do GSM networks have to do with anything? I've had perfect service on AOSP/GE roms until this problem occurred. rumrunner hboot means I am s-off FYI. I also said nothing about downgrading, the question is should I upgrade.

All,
I decided that I do not want to wait for HTC to roll out the 4.2.2 update on my HTC One Dev and install a custom rom. I really tried to stick with stock because I was sick and tired of constant flashing and just want something that is stable and for work. But my itch is coming back and would just like to get a stable stock like rom ie Android Revolution HD 12. (Opinions for stable and stocklike?)
Anyways, since I have the Dev Edition, just want to make sure I'm doing this right, and have a couple of questions:
Since I'm bootloader unlocked, all I need to do is root, install a custom recovery ie CWM or TWRP, and flash a rom?
What do I do with firmware and radios? I know I should flash these seperately, but can anyone give me advise on which to flash? Again, I have the Dev Edition on At&T network.
Thank you all for any advice you can give me.

There's no real reason to flash either firmware or radio. but Install a recovery, which will root the phone for you, make a nandroid backup and flash to your heart's content.
I think you should read next link:

@vomer posted a detailed guide to achieve Firmware upgrade, S-OFF and other stuff. If you want to go with stock experience, then go with ARHD 12.1.
You need S-OFF to upgrade the firmware (which is recommended). If you have 1.54 HBOOT, you will not gonna be able to flash a custom firmware and you will have to use the full firmware package which I'm not sure if Vomer included in his guide, but you can always look for Mike's firmware compilation topic

This is a little off.
If you have 1.54 hboot, you are already on the most recent firmware. But because of that, you can't s-off and flash future firmware updates. You're limited to flashing custom roms at the moment.
How can I tell what version of hboot I'm on?

You're on 1.44 because your phone is still stock on 4.1.2. So you're okay.

To know this, all you need to do is go to the bootloader. As your bootloader is already unlocked, I will assume you know how to get here...
Anyway, you can just reboot the device while keeping the Vol Down key pressed and you will enter bootloader.
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

OK, so about 9 months ago I rooted my Three branded HTC one, installed CWM recovery and put ARHD12 on there and it's been brilliant. Three are now rolling out the 4G radio updates which as far as I understand is entirely separate to any ROM such as ARHD. So how do I get the radio update? Do I have to go back to stock? If so, now's the time to confess I didn't take a backup before I installed ARHD. So I guess I need the most recent Three RUU - do I have to remove CWM before I install it? I'm not a n00b - I managed to do this on my own last time and I'm fairly technically competent. The only problem I have now is one of time - I can't spend an entire day figuring stuff out due to the 9-month old bundle of joy that requires a fair bit of attention! If you can help me with a fairly simple outline of what to do in what order, that would be very much appreciated. Cheers!

You will have to return completely to stock. That means everything must be as it was out of the box. As for the ruu for your carrier, if they released it then it should be in one of the stickies.

I'm on Three in the UK and before I flashed a custom ROM I made sure I got S-Off then flashed the latest unbranded firmware(FUU_4.19.401.9-TWRP2633_combined_nowipe.exe which I got from XDA) and then changed my CID to SuperCID. After that I flashed custom ROM without flashing a stock ROM. LTE/4G works perfectly ok.

Thanks Heat57. I'm currently S-On, Unlocked, Tampered. I've also found this thread:

Looks interested, but you say you never flashed your radio? When did you get your one?
I'm thinking from your post I'm going to get S-OFF (using Revone, yes?) and flash a firmware to see if the 4G radio options show up. I can't see the one you mentioned - could you recommend one from the above thread? Also, it says TWRP - I'm using CWM - is that a problem?
Final question - if I do a backup I'm backing up the radio and firmware as well? So if I make a total plums of this I can get back to CWM and restore?
TIA for any further help you can give me

Well, I flashed the firmware, which amongst other hardware bits includes the radio. My first goal was to unlock the bootloader and then S-Off, as the latter removes any potential issues with firmware flashes and the like. I also went and changed CID to 11111111, which I understand is SuperCID and enables flashing of firmware and ROMs of different CID designations. Please beware, YOU MUST BE S-OFF FOR FIRMWARE FLASHING!!!
Regarding your question of revone, if you're on hboot 1.44 then yes, revone, hboot version 1.54 and 1.55 only work with rumrunner and latest versions require the 'firewater' exploit.
I am relatively new to HTC, although I owned an original Desire many years ago, so I still remember the peculiarities of HTC ROM. I had a Galaxy Note 2 and rooting and flashing ROMs there is a piece of cake by comparison. I digress.
Unlike most other manufacturers, where you get everything included in the custom ROM, it seems with HTC that is not the case, hence if you want to update your radio for example, you need to flash a firmware package. Therefore, I am not certain if a Nandroid would restore the firmware, if you encounter any problems, maybe someone more knowledgeable can confirm. In any event, if you're S-Off then flashing any firmware for the M7ul should work, so worst case, if you mess up you could always flash the one I pointed out via adb. Here is a link to the latest firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651
Regarding the recovery, I just prefer TWRP and use the one but last version 2.6.3.4, which works perfectly. #However, there is no reason why your CWM should not be adequate. Before I took the jump, after just receiving my One, I read through the threads for about a day to make sure I got it right.
Finally, if you end up rooted and S-Off then there is a supper little flashable zip called 'Guru_Bootloade_Reset_1.0.zip' that allows you to remove the tampered flag, relock the bootloader and unlock it again by simply flashing it and selecting what you want in it's aroma installer. You'll find it on XDA as well, justuse the search function.
I'm having issues trying to update to the latest firmware and accept the OTA. A little info first...
I'm S-off and rooted on a non-KH edition Spring M8, CID 11111111 with hboot 3.16.0.0000, radio 1.08.20.0612_4. On the software side of things I have 1.54.654.13.
My problem is this... I get the message about the software update being available to update to 1.54.654.15. When I try to install it brings me to a phone with a red triangle. The odd thing is that I've re-flashed stock recovery in order to accept the OTA. I believe my problem stems from trying to flash the HK version of firmware and software to the phone previously. I think I've flashed the latest firmware, but I still cant figure out how to update my software to the latest stock version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched through threads for hours and cant figure it out.

Yes, still having issues. Last night I went back to TWRP recovery to flash the HK version stock rooted rom. I havent flashed yet though. Do I need the HK edition firmare to flash the HK edition stock rooted rom? My goal is to get the latest radio with the latest software to allow me to utilize the wifi calling feature. I have terrible reception at my house and have been using an airave unit. Only problem is I've been stuck on CDMA only because there is the faintest of LTE signals and the phone will choose that over my full bars CDMA airave signal. Thanks

As far as your first post, I think you're missing a step when you see the red triangle press the volume up and power button to get into the stock recovery. If it does nothing, that means you need to go into the power settings and turn off fastboot. Normally you can't get to the bootloader if fastboot is turned on, but you can still reboot there with a few apps, like ROM Manager.

If you have successfully installed the latest firmware, you should have hboot 3.18. I'm not sure you are fully up to date. Here's a post I found with a modified hboot 3.18 that I successfully installed after SuperCID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795823&page=14). That should get you to latest hboot. Then, you can install the latest rooted stock rom (odex or deodex).
The same thread (first page) has the latest stock rooted rom and another firmware update (minus the recovery) for you to try in case you need more than hboot.
This should get you to the point where you have wi-fi calling.
Hello!
I just bought this phone. I have the HTC One HKE. I bought yesterday, and today I rooted it. I had no reason to wait.
So I was wondering, currently I'm on the Viper ROM 2.4.0, and I thought it would increase the performance but it has rather slightly hampered it. I want one that will increase the performance of the phone, so which ROM would you recommend? Also, please do make a kernel recommendation that goes along with it, too.
I prefer staying with Sense 6.0.
Not sure how you "slightly hampered" the performance of your phone by flashing Viper, other than the fact the version of Viper you flashed is outdated. I'm running Viper 3.2.1 with MassStash's Hypernova kernel and my phone runs great. To each his own, though. "Best ROM/kernel" threads are subjective at best because what works well for one person may not work well for another.

I'm very well aware that this my rom is outdated, but I cannot seem to be able to return to stock to update the firmware in order to install the latest versions. When I do, my WiFi does not work and that's a real problem.
Can anyone direct me to the correct thread that explains how I can do this? Note that I have tried updating the firmware in many different ways - through the command prompt, and using the generic RUU update with replacing the rom.zip file. I do not know what I need to do first, I just relocked the device and had a little panic attack because I couldn't do anything else. I had to unlock it again using the HTC dev code.
Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to get the latest firmware? I'm on the HK device with firmware version 2.16.654.4
Take a look at the thread linked below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
I tried to do this, as I previously stated. I tried to do it over fastboot. I tried using Generic RUU. Each time I get an error. At first it was error 99, but then I relocked the bootloader and got error 12 (signature verification failed).
Would you mind posting a link to the RUU you attempted to use? We were actually having a discussion in another thread about some similar issues folks were having.
I tried them all.
I tried the HK version, the non-HK version. I tried the ones with boot.img and the ones without. I even tried to download the entire image (1.6GB) and flash it with the program and that did not work either. I tried them all, believe me. I would not let something like that (wrong version) get in the way.
I have:
cidnum: SPCS_004
version-main: 2.16.654.4
I even tried running the SuperCID command, and that didn't do anything.
You won't be able to get SuperCID while S-on. My suggestion at this point would be to unlock your bootloader again, flash a stock rooted ROM and then get S-off with the Sunshine exploit. You can then update your firmware without having to mess with any of the RUU or FUU stuff.
Where could I find a stack rooted ROM that matches my version?
I looked them all up in the other thread and most of their versions are 1.xxx while my mainver is 2.16.xx

Okay. Right now, I am on stock rooted. I am not quite sure how to proceed with the update. I have been going to the menu, and checking for an update but it says that no update is availible at this time.
Do I try running the RUU, or just wait for it to arrive?
I should also tell you that I am still on TWRP and unlocked. Should relock and install stock recovery as well?

You can go one of two routes. Either S-off and manually update your firmware, or install the stock Android system recovery, which will allow you to take the update.
So, I did it.
I'm currently on the latest firmware, running the latest Venom too with the WiFi working. I have root access.
You told me earlier that I should do sunshine s-off. I was wondering, why is that? I already have everything I wanted. What is the benefit of S-OFF, when I already have root?
I don't want to sound ignorant, but I really don't know. I feel like a big noob right now.
