Im using this guide... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
I Keep getting an error at the end. heres what i did
First i flashed this.... Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Deodexed.zip
Second... fastboot oem lock (from bootloader screen)
Third... Ran the setup.exe from this this Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip
Fourth... i accepted the terms but my image version said 1.31.651.2. the image version didnt match when i ran the RUU.

so im am assuming that im flashed to this version of 1.29.651.10 android so to speak, but my actual image version is1.31.651.2? if i am understanding this correctly, that means i could flash any version i want but my actual bootloader is set on this1.31.651.2. So the RUU im using will not work until there is an updated version of the RUU, right? what if i was s-off? im currently s-on. would i be able to flash it back to stock if i was s-off and the image versions didnt match in the RUU? This is my first Htc devices and im felling kinda noobish.. please help.
So here is my fix..
I flashed a bone stock rom with no root found here... or restore nandroid. I usually make a nandroid backup before i flash su.zip. but anyway, after the restore i booted into the bootloader and types fastboot oem lock. then i proceeded to reboot, but my device kept booting into bootloader. i tried fastboot erase cache which didn't help. so i grabbed the firmware from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 . In the bootloader type...
fastboot oem reboot RUU
now you should be in a black screen with the htc logo
fastboot flash zip /navigate/to/zip/file
you will get fail the first time(pre-hboot update: please flush immediately)
just make sure your device is still in the RUU mode(black screen with htc logo, if not redo first step)
fastboot flash zip /navigate/to/zip/file
it should proceed to flash and get flash successful!
oh you might get a loading bar underneath the htc logo. this is normal. just make sure that in the terminal it said successful.
unplug and hold the power till it restarts.
now you are bone stock with stock recovery. this is the closest I've came to being stock since there currently isn't a RUU tool for the latest firmware. hope this helps. BIG THANKS TO bigdaddy619 for the input!

The Software Version - 1.29.651.10 refers to the software version of the rom you are running if you were to flash a rom based on 1.31.651.2 your software version in settings would reflect that.
Since you are s-on your phone most likely came with 1.31.651.2 why are you trying to go backwards? If you just want to go back to stock there is a stock 1.31.651.2 rom(rooted and unrooted) in Indirects thread.

There is not an RUU for 1.31.651.2
I would suggest unlocking again
flash twrp 2.5.0.0
flash the Stock(no root) 1.31 rom in Indirect's thread
then relock again(your bootloader will say RE-LOCKED not LOCKED)

I kinda figured that I just had a brain fart about it. But when I flash a stock rom and relock bootloader it won't boot up I just keep booting into the bootloader. So if in was on an earlier version of 1.29.651.10 I would be able to relock and be stock, right?

Did you check the MD5 on the stock rom you were trying to flash maybe it was a bad download?

In was on it running and all. Then I proceeded and relocked. Or did I do something wrong here?

Same Issue As Techno Droid - ! SOS ! - 7 day old brick
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can assist me here, its been a week now without my phone due to my botched attempts to flash a custom rom. I have the exact same situation as TechnoDroid's initial post, and same exact fails. I tried Techno Droids fix, but am getting the following error from this command:
fastboot oem reboot RUU
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.001s]
finished. total time: 0.003s.
I've flashed the 1.31 stock ROM from Indirect's thread, and re-locked the bootloader, but I always get an OS that has no apps and begins a system boot loop after a few minutes.
Also, if I can find a compatible nandroid backup and flash it through TWRP would that be a possible fix?
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'll be looking into purchasing a backup phone from my MVNA, but would really like to unbrick this one since I paid full boat for an unlocked version!
- cheers

having the same issue: stock deodexed flashed but unable to get ruu,, tsk (Sprint HTC One 1.29.651.10!)
pls help,,

stuck in boot mode

hi guys, I am stuck in boot mode after removing cyanogen mod, I have tried installing the RUU.exe but it will not complete - I think the reason for this is that S-ON. I can't seem to find a solution to achieve S-off anywhere without having to be into the phones OS.
I have tried pushing the rom to my phone but I just keep getting 'no device found'
The usb recognises the phone but the adb commands do not work at all
any further info suggested would be massively appreciated.
edit:
got adb commands working by following this guide
(not allowed to post links yet)

progress so far:
I have managed to sideload a relevant ROM but it has now been saying 'installing update' for quite a while and I am not sure whether to touch it
on another note, the image verification thing on this forum is very, very annoying.

ok so I sideloaded a ROM and it aborted the installation, totally at a loss now

Boot your phone in bootloader mode and type fastboot getvar all. copy/paste the output here except IMEI and SERIALNO. Also, I need to know what recovery you are using and its version and what custom rom and its version you are trying to flash.

I am using clockwork recovery, I was trying to flash a stock RUU zip - I could not find one to match my exact baseband version so I tried
"RUU Zip M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4.zip" but just got the message 'installation aborted' after sideloading
forgive me I can't paste links yet
I also tried the latest version of CM as this is what I was trying to revert back from this installed but just said 'installing' for nearly an hour then after I rebooted it left with a constant CM loading screen
I have a feeling I need S-OFF but can't seem to achieve through any of the methods described

Ruu.zip are not installed with a custom recovery/sideloaded!! It must be flashed via fastboot ruu mode. Anyway this ruu is not for your phone, its a .401 base and you need a .61 base ruu of same version or higher than 3.63.61.1 but afaik there is no ruu for your phone... BTW the 1.20.401.1 ruu is a pre-release version without OTA updates so it a bad idea to use it.

Either because of a bad rom/download or because your recovery version is outdated. Flash twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4. Also clear cache every time your flash something and md5 check your roms/recovery before you flash them.

S-OFF is not require to flash a custom rom like CM only if you want to convert your phone using a ruu not intended for your version.

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..

you can also flash the stock 5.11.401.10 rom, recovery and firmware available on ARHD website

What exactly is the function of the RUU? I can't seems to get my head around it..
I'm guessing the ARHD steps are to try to get S-OFF?

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?

No you are using CWM thats the problem. always use TWRP 2.6.3.3

[Q] Bricked my HTC one ( S-ON),Tried many methods still doesn't work

The cidnumber of my phone is : VODAP021 and it is a s-on rooted phone.
Yesterday I just root my HTC one followed the steps on the htcdev website. And then didn't check the status of my phone( s-on or s-off). After installing a custom ROM , The HTC one strike on the HTC screen and rebooted again and agin.
I have tried many methods like relock the phone and flash the ruu rom , but no matter how many times I tried, it is failed on the step of signature
checking. I post the output below :
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

I really download the zip from the htc1guru website and use the command :
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip

Which ruu are you tring to flash? Afaik there is no RUU availabe for vodap021
your bootloop issue is probably because you have flashed an incompatible rom or because you have flashed a rom with the wrong recovery version.
please answer all questions below
What rom have you tried to flash? (name, version and link)
What recovery are you using (name and version)
post the output of "fastboot getvar all" minus the IMEI and SERIALNO
What RUU are you trying to flash?

Sorry for late replying

The phone rebooted itself again and again and failed to enter the system.
Then I searched on xda and tried Guru Reset M7 2.24.980.2 followed others instruction. The ruu is from the website of htc1guru(sorry I am still not able to post outside links)
2: The recovery I am using is : openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img And enter my recovery on my phone, I can see the information below:

not sure what you want to accomplish, but if you just want to get your phone up and running for now
grab a ROM from the Development section
flash correct recovery, push the rom, and install it; instructions inthe Frequently Asked Question sticky on page 3

[Q] In Deep Trouble with MID Change. HELP PLEASE!!!

I tried changing my HTC One M8_WHL PVT SHIP S-OFF into developer edition using the guide on http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...edition-for-super-fast-sense-updates-0156524/ . I successfully changed the MID and the CID without breaking a sweat. After, I used TWRP to restore the backup which the guide instructed me to download and restore. After restoring that backup, device could only boot HBOOT. Now I tried running the RUU.exe for Developer Edition and I get the error which asks that I run the correct RUU for the device. Now, the device doesn't boot pass HBOOT
What I can do ...
1. Boot into TWRP recovery
2. Give fastboot commands with HBOOT
3. Boot into RUU via fastboot
What I can't do ...
1. Boot the device
2. Revert the MID change to its original state cos I will need to run ADB Shell to do that, which cannot be done from HBOOT
3. No RUU.exe is responding to flashing the device
The specific help I need ...
1. Be able to Change MID using Fastboot so I can run a SPRINT RUU
fastboot getvar all results ...

You forgot the most important thing to do before doing something like this....read.
Your M8 must be a GSM model, like AT&T, T-Mobile, and most international variants.

Have you tried running the command to change the MID while booted to twrp?

As I have been using my GSM SIM in it, it didn't occur to me that it could be any different from a GSM Model. When I bought it, it came with S-Off and CID 11111111, though the bootloader was locked (like any other locked HBOOT from factory, not relocked).

is Sprint which is CDMA not GSM.
You said in your first post you could not revert your MID because you can't run adb shell... adb works in recovery...it's worth a shot.

Try changing your CID to SuperCID then try the Sprint RUU.

ADB Shell won't start in TWRP sideload. But ADB devices comes out positively with the list of devices attached.

I haven't. The device came with Super CID. Let me try that and see. However, I tried flashing the firmware of Sprint via RUU with Super CID. The MID error showed up. I feel same will happen even if I change to Sprint CID, but I'll give it a shot.
