the variant error shows up when your OS in the bootloader and Software number inside the ROM doesnt match, you need to find a compatible ROM, the ROM you are using (3.63.707.3) is for India/Asia with cid HTC__038 and HTC__044 and MIDs PN0711000 and PN0714000 respectively, what's your Model ID? can you post the results of "fastboot getvar all" excluding your Serial No. and IMEI? if you can tell me your Model ID i can suggest the compatible stock ROM reset or RUU for your phone

PN0710000 = M7_UL
PN0711000 = M7_U
HTC__J15 is Middle East CID, and both models are available (U and UL), but he got it in Turkey, and has OS 3.63.401.3 which I think is the U model

can you gain s off using Rumrunner? because i cant find a stock Reset Guru Rom that matches your Model ID and CID, but there is an RUU for PN0711000 and HTC__J15 , it downgrades the OS so it requires s off , @nkk71 what do you think, man?

1- Haven't seen any guru resets like that for that
2- why bother? if he goes s-off, he can flash whatever he likes
3- it's always nice when someone actually says what they intend to do and why... custom rom, stock rom, rooted, non-rooted etc etc etc

At first, I dont want to s-off, want to return stock rom and get original OTA updates. But at the end, i went s-off and installed custom rom. However, if i find a solution. Try to s-on again, relock and want to use original rom.

I'm in the same situation. My HBOOT is 1.57 so I can't SOFF without Sunshine. I flashed Guru reset zip 3.63.707.3
When I check OTA it downlaods and gives me the variant system version error. I can't install with RUU either. What am I supposed to do?

Found a compatible RUU from the thread you gave. But couldn't flash the RUU zip, always got different errors.
Got sick of this after 11 hours of research and stuff. I've just SOFF'd my M7 with Sunshine, revert back to 1.29 (Sense 5 and 4.1.2 ) now installing all the firmwares one by one.
Thanks for your help mate.

did you relock bootloader and use the htc_fastboot.exe? then it should have worked just fine.
anyway, S-OFF is a much better thing to have imho, and since you're S-OFF you could consider changing the modelid to PN0710000; obviously it wont give you LTE (since the hardware is missing), but would allow you to get the "regular" .401. OTAs
but guess you wont need to worry about that for the time being, since PN0711000 is also on new version now.

fastboot getvar version-main empty

Hey everyone
Please anyone can help me to figure it out
I bought new htc one somedays ago with sense 5. And then i convert it into GE phone.
But now i want to return it into stock condition so when i try to find my main version always it shows the blank
Version-main:
Then nothing is showing.
Mine htc one is international version M7 AND when i flash the stock rom on my phone after relock my bootloader it stuck on signature verification then it show 12 signature verification failed.
Please anyone can help
Are you still S-OFF?
No my s-on.
So you didn't use the full conversion RUU, just a custom ROM based on the GE base?
yes u are right i used the custom based rom and flashed with twrp.

Were you trying to flash firmware for you to loose version-main
Anyway, HTC__J15 (as far as i know) is a .401. Middle East variant, I have CWM backup of 2.24.401.2, but that's for the M7_U model, not M7_UL model which would be 2.24.401.1.
Do you know what firmware version you should be on? I think the signed x.xx.401.x firmware works with your phone. Since your hboot is 1.54, I would assume it's either 2.24.401.1 or 2.24.401.8.
This is from a signed 2.24.401.1 firmware:
Code:
[B]modelid: PN0710000[/B]
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__203

cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__032

[B]cidnum: HTC__J15[/B]
cidnum: HTC__016
mainver: 2.24.401.1
btype:1

hbootpreupdate:3
But don't go flashing firmware haphazardly with S-On!!

To run an official RUU exe you can be S-On, but I haven't seen one for 2.24.401.x. And since you are S-On, you cannot run a 1.xx RUU to downgrade.
In theory, you could flash a signed 2.24.401.1 or 2.24.401.8 firmware package, which are available to get your firmware (main version) fully back. But with S-On, IF something goes wrong, you would have problems.
Anyway, what's your main purpose? If it's just to go back to Sense 5 Stock ROM, you could flash a generic 2.24.401.8 ROM.
Also, supposedly, S-Off for 1.54 should be coming in a while. Then you could S-Off and do pretty much anything you like.

With S-On, you will not be able to change your bootloader to "LOCKED" only "RELOCKED", so any service center will know you've unlocked your bootloader and could say your warranty is void (depends on the guys in the service center).
And as EddyOS said, no S-Off for 1.54 at the moment; rumours for 1.54 s-off are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474089

1- Flash it through CWM or TWRP, select stock as much as possible (for example without root).
2- You'll also need stock recovery, you can find one for 2.24.401.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463387
you flash this using "fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
3- relock your bootloader: "fastboot oem lock"
But before doing step 2 and 3, check you "fastboot getvar all" and see if it show the main version (ie firmware), if it's still missing, you have two choices (IMHO) either flash a signed 2.24.401.1 firmware (using fastboot in RUU mode) or send it back for warranty and hope it passes.
As for the TAMPERED sign, it should go away after you flash stock recovery (step 2) above, BUT it seems for some it does go away, and for others it doesn't. I haven't found conclusive results as to why it sometimes stays or why it goes away.

the safest and easiest way is to flash the ruu.exe that match your phone, in your case an at&t RUU I guess

Well the link below is your exact ruu, however, as you say you have the dark Google bootloader, I don't know how to return that to normal, I do know however, do not s-on

well according to his fastboot getvar all, this is not the correct ruu (MID is PN0712000) and that one is for PN0711000. I'm alsmot 100% sure 4.19.401.9 from his getvar is only referring to the custom hboot and not to his software #.
With pn0712000 he either have a google edition phone (.1700) a dev (.1540) or an at&t phone (.502).
@dragonballz2k
do you remember your original CID?

[SOLVED] HTC One Debranding

I just bought an HTC One which is unlocked but it shows the O2 bootscreen. I wish to debrand the phone but will that lock the phone? I am not sure how the phone was unlocked by the previous user. Thanks

No it will not lock the phone, unless you want it locked. Post a fastboot getvar all except remove the imei and serialno and we will be able to direct you how to rebrand your phone.

I dont know if you are talking about sim unlock or bootloader unlock but anyway, both sim and bootloader will stay unlocked even if you flash another rom or if you debrand the phone.
I see
@alray Yeah I mean sim unlock, Can you post a link of a guide to install stock htc rom to debrand. Will I be able to get OTA updates? What steps are needed Unlock bootloader, s-off, change cid custom recovery and install rom? Can you link me to a stock rom with ota for europe or international version.

If you want a full conversion, you can s-off the phone, change cid to HTC__001 and flash a x.xx.401.x RUU. Your best option to s-off on hboot 1.57 is probably sunshine s-off but its a paid exploit (25 USD) or you can try firewater, its free but it will require more steps and you have like 50% chance it will not work.
or the easier way, if you only want a debranded rom, you could only unlock the bootloader, flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and then flash a rom (like arhd 71.1)

@alray Hey I did everything and am now trying to get the right RUU for europe or international. I flashed this : RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe and it seems to be fine except I am still s-off and an for some reason an option while doing the initial wizard called Tell HTC tells me this is a test device so this option will remain on. What is causing this? My device is a test device?! Wrong RUU?
Edit: I am updating the phone but it wont find the latest after every boot it finds the next. Now installing 4.3, it was 4.1.2 to begin with..

Tell HTC/test device is normal. You'll always get this message at the initial setup with s-off phones, don't worry with this.
The ruu will not turn back s-on and thats a good thing. Keep your phone s-off.

Yeah I thought it was the s-off causing this. Thanks for you reply, gonna install update after update and see if it comes up with the latest. Bit strange it doesn't install the absolute latest, but I guess the final update size would be huge to have all the fixes in previous versions in one.

Use the guru reset rom here for your version and choose yes to flashing stock recovery during install

Apart from the fact you have the wrong recovery I think that the mismatch with your firmware and CiD is your problem.
I'm not sure how you can put that right without s-off though.
What OS version number does the OTA your trying to install have?
You can try to flash the latest 6.09.401.12 firmware over it. In theory that should work as it will match your CiD and MiD

Nop, you need 6.09.401.12 firmware and 6.09.401.12 Rom. Only thing is if you do change you won't get the OTA as I don't think it's been pushed for 401 yet. But at least you'll be ready when it comes
I have a 6.09.401.11 nandroid and Firmware. That may do the trick but I'll see if I can find the .12 first

@alray wrote that at another thread;
1-Use Sunshine to achieve s-off
2-change your cid to BS_US001
3-change your MID to PN0712000
4-flash the 7.17.1540.7 RUU or take the 7.17.1540.7 ota update.
i gained s-off by using sunshine... now i will change cid and mid and take take the 7.17.1540.7 ota update. But my recovery is recovery_4.19.401.11.img . I think this will be a problem. Where can i find suitable recovery ?
I changed cid to BS_US001 but changing mid is difficult i think. do i have to change it to get ota (7.17.1540.7) ?

Open firmware file and check if it allows your mid. If not, and S-off, add your own and flash firmware.zip!

I get file via OTA so i dont have it. I tried again but still i got "variant system software", i think that means my mid is not allowed.
How can i change my mid ? can you help me step by step ?
I think s-off skips signature check so changing firmware.zip content will not be problem, am i right ?

First time custom rom

Alright so I have been wanting to change my htc one (802w/dual sim) from android 5.0.2, back to 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 though I want a full stock/htc like software of the android version.
I found some here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617159
I've got a few questions though as I am a bit afraid I might harm my phone (saw some posts that some phones might break down and not function again..)
First thing about the RUU and firmware, I figured some stuff but please correct me if I'm wrong:
I will be downloading Android 4.2.2 RUU version: 2.19.401.1 - then OTA update version: 2.41.401.1-2.19.401.1 (should be still android 4.2.2 according to the collection thread)
And to be able to get to android 4.4.2 (might not need 4.4.3) I will download OTA 4.21.401.5-2.41.401.1
Well, is there anything wrong with the OTA versions or RUU?
Also, when I get to Android 4.2.2, can I just mainly check for updates over "Software updates" and will I get the updates from HTC? Or they will prevent it as I installed a *custom* rom?
And for the main thing, please link me any tutorial or guide (in-depth will be appreciated.. would like to know what I'm doing) to install the rom and any other files if needed.
Sorry for the long post, have a good day!
Regards,
Matt.

You can't do what you said above. x.xx.401.x RUU is not for your cid (HTC__J15). You can only flash RUU that are designed for your CID and MID and since your phone is S-ON, you can't downgrade using a RUU. You'll either need to S-OFF the phone so you can flash an old M7CDUG x.xx.402.x RUU or use old costom roms.

According to the site it's for CID HTC_J15 and modelid PN0710000
Does it mean I can flash it even though it's x.xx.401.x? Also if I can, can you please send a guide about how to S-OFF the phone?

No you can't, this RUU is simply not for your phone, not even for the same variant.
To flash a ruu on a s-on phone:
The ruu must match your CID number. Yours is HTC__J15 ---> OK
