[Q] No S-OFF methods working

I am trying to S-OFF my HTC One and I am running into lots of issues. I've tried revone and moonshine but they both fail. I already got it unlocked with htcdev. Rooting and installing CWM went smoothly.
Info:
HBOOT 1.44.0000
I have Ubuntu 12.10 and adb version 1.0.31
revone -P fails with error -6. I have tried terminal emulator and adb shell.
moonshine fails with a strange error at the 10th step:
Moonshining(10)........................"Error: Don't drink and shine!"
I'm kinda stuck here...Any ideas?

My experience with revone was to keep on trying and after about 20 attempts it suddenly worked.

I literally tried "./revone -P" 50 times and it failed with error code -6 each time.

Revone will work fine with 1.44 hboot.
So try and re-try.
Maybe lock the bootloader and retry

It tooks 3 hours for me repeating revone command until it worked.
What firmware date you have on boot screen?

Hi,
You can try this method: [GUIDE] S-Off without PC.
It worked for me on two One's at the first try with no issues...

My idea, if it's possible on ubuntu, is to run parallel desktop, install Windows, download an all in one toolkit (Hasoon2000, etc.) and let the program flash it for you. Or, however you can get the toolkit to run. I did exactly this with my mac and my phone is unlocked, s-off, rooted and running perfectly. I do, however, have the developer edition, so my bootloader was already unlocked, but the rest the toolkit took care of. After all of your trying, maybe this is the way to go, so you can relax a little from it. Hope this helps.

Unless he has a US model with an updated hboot dated after May.

You may have the patched 1.44, in which case s-off won't work. Check the date of your hboot in bootloader, if it's the July release then it's been patched.

Correct, May 2013 HBoot 1.44 is okay but if you're on 1.44 June 2013 or later then you're out of luck.

It looks like I have the June 2013 patched HBOOT. Ugh hopefully a new exploit will be found.

I had never heard of different versions of hboot 1.44.
However, will it let you fastboot flash an earlier dated 1.44 hboot .
I know if you're on for example 1.54 it won't let you downgrade hboot, but does it check for version number or date when determining whether to allow to flash .
May be worth a try

Do you have a link to the older dated HBOOT? I can't seem to find one. Would you use fastboot to flash it?

I don't think that will work, as it's been asked several times on the S-Off thread. It does mention somewhere that a few ATT users were able to restore an older OTA, but I can't confirm that. Most people with 1.54 or the patched 1.44 were not able to achieve s-off.
Don't have a link to the particular instructions, but it was discussed on the s-off thread somewhere: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
Good luck
EDIT: here's the ATT downgrade thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394155

You only need to relock to run a RUU when s-on. Has nothing to do with what you're trying to do here.

I am S-ON trying to get S-OFF. I heard in order to flash an RUU Zip I had to have a locked bootloader.
I had originally tried flashing the zip with an unlocked bootloader, then I proceeded to try it work a locked bootloader because it didn't work.

It's giving you error 155 because hboot is 1.56; RUU.EXE downgrade will fail with hboot 1.55+
post a "fastboot getvar all" (except IMEI and s/n)
and WTH is "M7_U UNKNOWN SHIP S-OFF RH", were you messing around with an ENG hboot?

^^^^ WOW, never seen a system that messed up before!!
can you post a screenshot of bootloader,
but you definitely have one or more low-level partitions really messed up, I don't know if this is fixable.

I've already told my friend to say goodbye but i wanna surprise him i will post screenshot as soon as i can...
Thanks one more time

well i'm off for tonight, but i do have to say WOW.... sorry if that comes across in a bad way, not trying to be an ass or anything.
I'll give it some thought, but so far, looks like some really low level partitions are f**ed, including:
mmcblk0p3, mmcblk0p6, maybe mmcblk0p7, and mmcblk0p19
(not to mention hboot)
eventually, you're going to have to end up using an ruu.zip in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" mode, but not sure how much this is going to fix your low-level partitions..... it's amazing you still have an IMEI.

cmdline overflow usually happens when your kernel cmdline is longer that it must be. can you try to flash another boot.img. preferably a stock one. or downgrade hboot to 1.44

It is not related to CID because your CID is 1111111 (SuperCID)
So you have to add your MID to the android-info.txt file...
And since your MID is:
Code:
0←♦ê►ê4ç8çõ*☼♀‼áDç
Just add exactly that to your android-info.txt and if you now have something new on your getvar all output.. just add the result you get related to "modeliid"
P.S.
android-info.txt is inside the RUU.zip file.... just extract it... add your MID with the same syntaxis like the other MIDs and repack everything..

Hi LibertyMarine
actually my bad,
* he has a locked bootloader

we tried a bit earlier, but didnt get very far, maybe he'll come back later and we'll give it another shot.

If you have a gsm htc one then yes, you would need to change android-info.txt to match cid number.

Hi. Where is that android-info.txt? When i download RUU files they're .exe Files...
Is it required to have bootloader unlocked to install a RUU?

SuperCID will not allow you to install "Any" RUU
The MID must also match your phone and you must lock the bootloader before running the RUU
your brightstar RUU failed because the MID mismatch
also post a fastboot getvar all without imei/sn

Yes, i already done that before i did S-ON again...
After that i got to change the CID?
For the GPE you have posted i dont need a S-OFF, right?

why did you go s-on ?
it's much easier if your s-off with any GPE
what recovery do you use ?

I want a stock rom from HTC on my device... when that isnt possible i install the GPE Custom ROM

[Q] Can't S-ON?

After the struggle of finding a way to revert my Vodafone Australia branded HTC One back to it's former, virgin glory..
I have finally locked the bootloader, set my CID back and got a stock ROM and recovery - thanks to Guru Stock Reset ROMs, which is the closest thing I could get to being stock as there are no available RUU's.
But the last and final hurdle is S-ON. My Googling tells me all it takes is this fastboot command: "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
But when I throw that in a command prompt, all I get is an error:
(bootloader) partition hboot signature error
(bootloader) writesecureflag: partitions siganture failed
OKAY [ 1.624s]

Could anyone please help? I have to return my diseased pink/purple-tinted, crappy camera issue!

Damn dude, how far am I from a brick? :S
and you are absolutely correct, I completely forgot about my hboot being modified at 1.55.
It's been awhile since I tampered around with my phone.
Is it then possible to downgrade my hboot to 1.44, with my current set-up? and continue to s-on?
I thank you immensely.

Luckily the signature check kept you away from a brick, had you been able to S-On with a modded hboot, then you would have had a brick.

I'm not sure what method you used to return to stock, but obviously hboot is not stock, and so could other things as well; I would recommend following my guide, especially if you intend on going S-On.
If you do want to follow my guide, post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n), and I'll let you know which files you need.

no offense taken
but you have PN0714000 + VODAP021 and firmware 3.62.401.1 (.401. = WWE unbranded), so you need to get your firmware correct too; inline with the ROM you are now on.
and personally, I don't recommend going S-Off to S-On on hboot 1.55, sometimes it works fine, but sometimes it triggers "tamper detected" and the tampered is back (can't say when/if it will happen to you)

hboot will be part of the firmware.zip,
and I don't know what they will check, but you may have a problem when it comes back -> if you're S-On, LOCKED bootloader with firmware not matching your MID and CID, then chances are high that HTCDev won't unlock your phone.

I'm assuming you used Guru ROM 2.24.980.2 ? i made a quick search but came up empty on the firmware for that. you could pull it from the OTA file if you find it; within the OTA.ZIP is another firmware.zip <- that's signed original firmware

You do realize those errors/safe-guards are actually saving you!!
There's nothing wrong with your CID, so set it back to what it's supposed to be.
And the reason it's not working (actually it is), you are flashing the wrong firmware.zip, the one you are flashing is 28294 KB (probably a modded one), whereas the one you should be flashing (from the link you posted earlier) is 41197KB.
now put the correct firmware.zip in your adb/fastboot folder and flash it, fastboot doesn't use anything from your sdcard, it uses the files on your PC.

Bootloop/ errors with GPE still on jellybean

Back in the day, my HTC One M7 GPE was one of the ones that became a soft brick with the initial update. So after Google replaced my phone, I turned off updates, and thereby wound up remaining on jellybean (4.2.2).
All was well and good until last week, when my phone wound up on a bootloop. Originally I could stop it from bootlooping by clearing the cache of certain apps like Gmail. But it would go back into a bootloop after some use like checking email or a webpage. I tried to download/ update the system, but my system was saying it didn't have enough memory. I started mass uninstalling things I don't use, in hopes that this wound work, but no luck.
So, I contacted Google who had me go into the bootloader and recovery. That gave me an android lying on his back with the red triangle/ exclamation point. From there he had me clear the cache.
After that, my phone would go into a bootloop no matter what!!
Out of desperation, I saved whatever I could on my computer, and then factory reset.
However, still with the factory reset I am getting bootloops!!
I was able to re-turn on usb debugging, and I have the file (now) to unlock my bootloader.
However, before I go ahead and do so, I am hoping there is a way to re-load on the OEM ROM and replace whatever has gone bad.... and hope the phone can then do its natural updates??
I've downloaded the 2.14.1700.15 files from the HTCdev website, and I tried to flash the zip files, but I get the "12 signature verify fail" error.
I have confirmed that my cid is still GOOGL001 . I thought that as long as it was a matching ROM that it would flash without unlocking the bootloader?
There are also Framework support files on the HTCdev website - I may need to replace/ flash those also??
If anyone has ideas before I go ahead and unlock the bootloader, that would be great!!
And if i do unlock the bootloader, given that I have never performed an update on the system, what version of the software (file) would you recommend that I flash the system with? I have no need for a custom ROM. The GPE ROMs are fine for me.
Thank you so much for your help!!

You could flash the 5.11.1700.3 GPE RUU and update to the latest version from there using ota
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
File and instructions at post 1 of this thread. Don't forget that flashing a RUU will wipe the phone so backup your important files before.

Thanks for the reply!
Do I have to unlock the bootloader to flash this RUU?
Also it looks like on the webpage that it is a Lollipop Sense RUU? Is that right? I was hoping to stay with the GPE ROMs. And i was guessing that I needed to load on the jellybean original first prior to updating to Lollipop.... but maybe that isn't necessary??

The bootloader must be locked to flash the ruu since your phone is S-ON.
.1700 is the GPE version not Sense

By going into the One Google Play Edition, a bunch of ROMs and Frameworks come up. I'm currently on 2.14.1700.15 . I originally tried to flash that UI, but that's when i got the signature errors.
Do I need to flash the Frameworks first? And, if so, what is the line code to do that?
Or is the reason it failed is because I used the android fastboot, instead of HTC fastboot??

Actually neither of those links are working either.
If someone could let me know the best options, it would be appreciated!

The link for 4.4 is still good. Flash this one then install ota updates.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot reboot

No these are kernel source files, not useful for you, flash the ruu and you should be fine.

Ok, unfortunately it did not work.
Can any one detect what I may be doing wrong?
I tried 3 times to get the flash of the file to work, but no luck. The RUU file I tried to flash was "RUU Zip M7_Google Edition_4.4_3.58.1700.5.zip"

12 signature verify fail = Your bootloader is unlocked. It must be locked or re-locked (fastboot oem lock) to flash a RUU.

no, my bootloader is locked. i never unlocked it.
i also tried both the htc fastboot, and regular fastboot. both have the signature fail error.

Ok then it might be caused by the RUU not being signed with HTC's signature. Unsigned RUU can only be flashed on S-OFF phone. So you'll need either to find a signed RUU or S-OFF your phone and use that one.

Before I unlock my bootloader and attempt to install something else, could someone let me know if they have an RUU.zip that would work with my phone?!? I have tried just about anything that looked like an RUU.zip that I could find for GPE, and all give me the signature fail. I'm getting horribly frustrated and want a phone again!!
PLEASE HELP!!
