Trying to restore my phone which using the RUU toolkit, and it keeps cancleing becaue it can't find my device. I can get to bootloader and TWRP but none of the ROMS are stable enough to stay on. Any ideas?
When I plug my old phone in, it finds the device so I'm sure the right drivers are there...

Wouldn't it make sense to start a thread for a specific problem? It makes it easier when someone with a similar problem searches for it on the forums. That way, later you can refer to this thread when someone runs into the same troubles, instead of linking to a 40 page thread and say "Weed through pages 31-39 for the resolution"

Anyway, I finally got it to find the device, but it said it wasn't the proper ROM and had to abort...how do I get the right RUU tool?
That is dependant on your fastboot output. You need the RUU to match or exceed your main version and have to have the same CID.

There is already good guides for all the issues you encounter, so chances we will refer someone to this thread are slim.
What RUU are you trying to flash, can you post a link? Also an updated ''fastboot getvar all'' of your phone would help.
What OS are you using now? Still on your MAC? If on Windows which version are you using? XP, 7, 8.0, 8.1 ?

S-off is required for decrypted ruu and for downgrade in version. With s-on you need same or higher version ruu (must be signed not decrypted)

With s-off you can flash a ruu either with a locked/re-locked or unlocked bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name_of_file>.zip

fastboot reboot

Gave the second command, and it started to write a whole bunch of files. 10 minutes later it said finished, and I rebooted. It boot looped a few times and was giving me the same crash at the homescreen. I was about the throw it across the room when it said "Activate device failed, click here to do it manually"
Followed the steps and the first text message came in, so now I'm installing Slimkat. It's given me a few errors now that it wasn't giving before, but I'll work through it and update.

Im pretty sure you cannot boot into a custom recovery with S-ON
To remove the TAMPERED and LOCK the bootloader, you will have to S-OFF using rumrunner for hboot 1.5x or revone for hboot 1.44
The current Rumrunner can work with a custom rom e.g. the latest version of ARHD or Insertcoin ROM that has an unsecure kernel. To do this though you will have to unlock the bootloader using htcdev and install the custom rom and then S-OFF

Yeah you cant boot .img files any more with s-on or s-off htc removed it in the now HBOOT and fastboot.
Dont panic mate its really easy to fix
Simply download ARHD from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 make sure you have all the latest drivers and everything installed and rename the file to rom.zip you will need TWRP for this i believe and simply boot to recovery (TWRP) and push thw file to your sdcard using adb push rom.zip /sdcard (takes a while) simply flash arhd rom.
Once your phone boots you can use rumrunner.us to s-off the phone. Follow the instructions on their site. Once thats done boot to fastboot and use the command fastboot oem writecid 11111111 you will now have supercid and you can now flash any ruu you like. (unless you need to downgrade hboot.) If thats the case pm me and i can guide you through it on here.

Tbh I know in theory xposed should be dangerous but it's really not. I would defo s-off though you need to install the latest firmware which you will be missing and addresses a LOT of issues. S-off the device and I will show you how to upgrade the firmware

I used to use ARHD but I switched to maximus HD because of the OTA and the 360 camera mod.
So to upgrade firmware you want to boot into fastboot and type "fastboot getvar mid" write it down then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 and download the correct version against your mid.
Put it in your adb/fastboot folders and making sure your still in fastboot type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Once you phone boots into update mode you will see a HTC logo on your screen and nothing else.
Rename the firmware you just downloaded to firmware.zip and type "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
It will say say failed pre hboot update flush image again. Simply type the exact same cmd again "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" and it will flash the latest firmware.
The progress bar on your phone probably won't go all the way up but as long as cmd says finished its done so just type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and if you look your main-os will have changed.
That's it.
Your on the latest firmware meaning all the Roms should run smoothly and you should have no more issues with exposed.

One thing I forgot to mention you need super cid so if you havn't already you need to be in fastboot and you need to type "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" and then fastboot reboot-bootloader you cod should have changed to 11111111 allowing you to flash an ruu for any phone now.
Everything done, thanks for your help!

Yeah afraid so. Tbf I don't know of that is the case for every phone but the m7_ul UK edition couldn't get it to work on any device I tried after contacting a friend who I have inside HTC's repair centre he claimed the feature does not work with the latest hboot.
I might see if I can get some other devices from work to test this further and if it is true for all variants then maybe enroll on a workaround

Hi All,
I tried to delete my personal data from the HTC One as I was planning on selling it tomorrow. I went into TWRP and wiped everything...which meant I wiped the OS too
I've tried everything, but I cannot find a way to reinstall a ROM.
First, I'm on a Windows 7 laptop. Soon, I'll have to switch to a Mac computer at work.
ADB doesn't work at all because I can't get the driver installed so the phone isn't recognized in ADB. I've installed the drivers from Hasoon2000's AIO kit, as well as install HTC Sync Manager. Neither one helps...so for now ADB is out.
Windows RUU.exe installation files don't work either. I've downloaded all versions from HTCDevs.com, and get an ERROR 155 each time.
Fastboot itself works, but I can't flash a ROM. If I try, I get "remote:not allowed". I'm in RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU) for the RUU.zip files. I've also tried flashing a CWM ROM, but I get the same error.
I just want to sell this phone and get on with my life, but I can't find a way to get it working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ive read that error 155 is caused mainly because the boot loader is unlocked. YOU HAVE TO LOCK THE BOOTLOADER FOR RUU. Lock the boot loader and retry
Are you S-OFF ??

Thanks for the reply! I forgot to write it but I did relock the boot loader when trying the RUU.
Also, I have the Developer Edition, which is unlocked but S-On I believe.

1- Even though the Dev Edition is unlocked, when you want to run an RUU, you have to relock it (when S-On), otherwise you'll get error 155
2- post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI, and s/n)
3- when you say rom.zip in RUU mode, are you using a decrypted zip, or the original signed (encrypted) zip? (because with s-on, only the signed one will work)

Yeah, last time that was the solution (re-locking). This time, even after relocking, I still get the Error 155 (and it does show "RELOCKED" in the boot loader)
Getvar screenshot is attached.
The rom.zip was from HTCDev.com, so I'm guessing it is an original signed zip. It was just renamed to be more user friendly.
EDIT: I'm not sure if this helps, but I was able to get ADB working on my Mac at work. I tried sideloading the official ROM and also a CWM ROM. It copies over fine, but then there are errors when trying to install. It says it can't mount various things. I've attached a pic of that as well.

I can never find anything on HTCdev
Anyway, the .zip you got is probably a kernel source code, not an RUU, I don't think HTC release ruu.zips (as far as i know).
How are you running the EXE, cause looks like your on a Mac, (so you may be using a vm, and maybe that's the problem)?
Long story short, here's what I would do, remember you need an RUU.EXE version 4.19.1540.4 or higher, then run the RUU, once it opens up, it will have created a folder in %Temp% (eg on Win7, that would be usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp) there you will find a newly created folder (use sort by date modified to find it) within that folder you will find rom.zip (a 1GB+ file) which is the signed ruu.zip.
copy that to your fastboot folder, then you can exit the RUU.EXE which will delete the temporary folder i mentioned above
then on your mac:
./fastboot oem rebootRUU
./fastboot flash zip rom.zip
./fastboot flash zip rom.zip <- yes twice
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you want to see what kind of output to expect, to my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082 and check post #7, it has a real life example of the above commands.

How are you running the EXE, cause looks like your on a Mac, (so you may be using a vm, and maybe that's the problem)?
Long story short, here's what I would do, remember you need an RUU.EXE version 4.19.1540.4 or higher, then run the RUU, once it opens up, it will have created a folder in %Temp% (eg on Win7, that would be usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp) there you will find a newly created folder (use sort by date modified to find it) within that folder you will find rom.zip (a 1GB+ file) which is the signed ruu.zip.
copy that to your fastboot folder, then you can exit the RUU.EXE which will delete the temporary folder i mentioned above
then on your mac:
./fastboot oem rebootRUU
./fastboot flash zip rom.zip
./fastboot flash zip rom.zip <- yes twice
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you want to see what kind of output to expect, to my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082 and check post #7, it has a real life example of the above commands.

Thank you so much for the walkthrough! It could be that I have the kernel source code...I've attached a screenshot of what I downloaded (link is circled). One thing though - where do I get the RUU.exe that's 4.19.1540.4 or higher? The highest I see is 3.22.1540.1 on HTC Dev for the Developer Edition. There is a 100MB file that's 4.20.1136.8 (see screenshot) for the WWE region, just says "HTC One" without more detail. Should I use that, even though it's only 100MB?
I was running the RUU on a Windows laptop at home, but then switched to my Mac at work. I can boot into Windows 8.1 on the Mac as well, so I can do the RUU extraction portion there (assuming Win 8.1 isn't an issue).
I'll report back once I've tried these steps.
EDIT: I've found this RUU - will it work?

the first picture could very well be a ruu.zip due to the filesize, all the (at least HTC Sense editions) will be 1GB+ the other ones that are around 100MB are just kernel source codes,
but you can't use the 3.22 version cause that's a downgrade and only possible with S-Off.
just found one at http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7 version 4.19.1540.9
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...8_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353887_signed_3.exe
this should work fine on even on Win 8.1 (without the need to extract it)
this will only work with a locked/relocked bootloader if you're sticking with S-On.

HTCGuru site is good too.
Good luck
It worked! I verified that fastboot was working and that the drivers were installed, relocked the bootloader, then ran the RUU.exe - and it finished without issue. I then unlocked the bootloader, and it doesn't say Tampered anymore
I can't thank you enough for the help. I wouldn't have guessed that you can't downgrade without being on S-OFF.

I'm kinda in a bad situation here.
I am very familiar with adb, fastboot, flashing and all that jazz but ran into a problem here:
I was trying to return back to stock rom and locked device to return it for warranty (bad top speaker and mic) and in the process I re-locked the bootloader and switched the s-off to s-on.
But when I went to flash the RUU via fastboot I kept getting a error message of signature failure.
Then after trying more RUU's that were most similar to my device I still was getting the same error.
I then tried an .exe RUU but kept getting errors during the process.
If I reboot it, it just returns to the bootloader and recovery goes to the bootloader as well.
Here are some pics:

post a fastboot getvar all (excluding IMEI and s/n)
ruu.zip are usually already decrypted, so would fail the signature check.

RUU.EXE for you is on androidruu.com or htc1guru.com

or
htc1guru.com RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_TELUS_WWE_4.19.661.8
this will upgrade you to 4.19.661.8 and since you are already S-ON, only use this if:
1- no TAMPERED
2- LOCKED not RELOCKED
.
My bootloader screen shows:
TAMPERED

will this RUU still work?

it may get rid of tampered and security warning, but it will DEFINITELY NOT get you LOCKED, which is usually needed for warranty!!
time to unlock, get S-Off again, and follow the guide properly.
So will it install without error and get me stock ROM for now?
Cause after that, I can get S-OFF later, I'm just desperate for something to run now.

don't know what error 158 is... but the ruu should work fine; possibly USB3 problems??
HOWEVER, I highly recommend you get S-Off before upgrading to 4.4 !! (because there is a possibility S-Off won't work!!)
so unlock, s-off, then install any ROM, until you have time to do this properly!
how can I even get s-off again without a rom even installed ?

Hello guys im new to the forum so sorry for any mistakes I make. Im trying to unbrick an HTC One M7 (S - ON). By using the command 'fastboot getvar version-main' I found out that the image required by the phone is 1.27.206.1 . I have searched for days but I cant seem to find the correct RUU. I did find it in a thread on XDA forum but the link was broken. Can anyone help me? If the RUU is not available is there any other way to unbrick the device?
Thanks in Advance!
FIXED: Read the summary below
I was able to find the correct RUU but the files available were incomplete. So with a lot of help from clsA and nkk71 I was able to find an alternative solution. The solution was to download the Android Revolution HD rom for HTC One and use ADB SIDELOAD to transfer the file in the internal storage From there on it was a piece of cake!

with S-ON, you'll need an RUU which is same or higher version for your MID+CID, which can be inferred from the .206. = O2 UK
you have 1.27.206.1, so you need and RUU which is higher (or equal) to 1.27.206.1; the 1.27.xxx.1 would refer to the actual software version information, the .xxx. indicates the carrier-branded, region, etc. if the version is greater or equal to 1.27.xxx.1 and the .xxx. is 206 then you can run it.
PS: you'll also need a locked/relocked bootloader with s-on, for the ruu to work

s-off will be harder to achieve once you update to a 4.xx RUU
as for download managers, there are plenty, if you want a free (and pretty decent one), i usually use FireFox + DownThemAll add-in

However, when i check the properties of the .exe the size and size on disk are different from each other.

if the MD5 check passed (ie the file you downloaded gives an MD5 hash = 4961fdbbadba53c9640f3638f56faec1) then the file is good.
but the 4.xx RUUs are known to be very sensitive to PC configuration, USB ports, etc. so you should try it with a plain vanilla setup of Windows 7 + USB2 port.
Though (just a thought), why not flash a custom recovery and ROM to get your device back to life, (and possibly even S-OFF).... how did you brick it anyway?
can you also post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)

That sounds good ! Just need to confirm that the bootloader on this phone is relocked not locked. do i need to visit htcdev and follow the protocol to unlock it? secondly by custom recovery you mean CWM or TWRP? I already have TWRP on the phone.

to unlock (with s-on), yes you'd need to HTCdev again, BUT if you already have TWRP installed, i recommend you flash the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48955645&postcount=251
you can either push it or sideload it to TWRP, once it boots up, use revone to s-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
revone will also allow to unlock bootloader
once you have s-off, the options are almost limitless, but please remember to flash only things meant for your phone/modelid ... flashing a wrong hboot for example will end up bricking your phone (not trying to scare you but don't think just cause you have s-off, you can now flash an HTC M8 firmware/hboot)

as long as you already have custom recovery on your phone, it should work (honestly, i've never tried, but it should work)
one of the reasons for HTCdev unlock, is to get a custom recovery on your phone (which you cannot do with S-ON and locked/relocked bootloader)

Hey guys,
Long story short, I needed to return my m7 back to stock for warranty purposed. I've done this in the past so I know what I am doing. I flashed the RUU (RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_Cingular_US_4.18.502.7_R10_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_356565_signed_2) and my phone got stuck at the last part of the RUU install and now I have a black screen with 4 exclamation points and the HTC logo. the bootloader is locked, as it should be for flashing a RUU. I can see the phone in fastboot mode, but thats about it. EVERY RUU I have tried flashing wont work and they keep throwing errors.
Any suggestions?

Are you sure that you have the correct RUU for your firmware version? You said you've tried a few different RUUs. This makes me wonder if you are using the correct RUU for your firmware version. This is key: You must use the correct RUU for your firmware.
If your phone is still bootable, boot it up and go into settings>about>software information and look at the software version number. Your RUU must be made specifically for that version number.
Here's a link to some a collection of RUUs (Cingular/ATT) RUUs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276
If it's not located there, search around a bit on XDA. It's bound to be here.

I had S-off'd this exact phone before and relocked the bootloader using the RUU that I posted. I believe the issue lays in the update process for the RUU. I am working through a few of these pieces of advice tonight and will report back.
