Sadly, it failed, It seems to be that, It only supports hboot 1.55, but mine is hboot 1.56 :crying: is there any otherway? Thanks again!!

Aghhhhhh!!!!!
I'm quite desperate about this hboot 1.56!! should i sell my phone because of this? aghhh...

Is there anyone or someone, Succesfully SOFF their htc one hboot 1.56?

It's got nothing to do with the hboot version. Firewater uses an exploid that requires a certain cpu version. You have an older version so it just won't work. Maybe in the future they will do something about it who knows. But for now you are stuck

Ouch!! how about other stock rom? to upgrade my older version from 4.2 to 4.4 version of android, aside from this my phone keeps on restarting

You don't need s off to be able to install roms. Are you doing a wipe before installing different roms. What recovery and version are you using?

In order to flash ARHD 53 you need TWRP recovery. Version 2.6.3.3. or higher. You don't need s-off

Okay, So I rooted and S-Off'd my phone when it first came out.
I was flashing Roms left right and centre and loving it.
A couple of weeks ago I did something when flashing a new wrong temporarily lost root, at the same time I went from S-Off to S-On.
I tried using a bunch of tools (All in one toolkit, old and new and others)
However I'm now rooted, With S-ON and most ROMS I try to flash fail in TWRP

Second file gets stuck on "Running bug_fix1 tool then eventuall does the same as above.
Am I flashing the wrong files or something?
CM11 for M7UL is currently the only ROM i can get working...
Any help is appriciated I'm desperate at this point I've spent hours trying to make this work.
I think these are failing because i need to edit the CID or MID or whatever it is but I cant do that whilst its S-ON
Need to S-OFF! Told I cant do that with tools unless I'm stock.
Cant get back to stock either!

Your firmware version is missing, I recommend you get S-Off to be able to freely update/downgrade firmware.
To get S-Off, use http://rumrunner.us/
You'll most likely need a stock Sense ROM; since you're on hboot 1.54, firmware should be 2.24.xxx.x, so either find a compatible custom ROM, or use a Guru Stock ROM from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
(use a 2.24.xxx.x one, and select root, but unselect stock recovery)
if you also need a unsecure kernel, use the appropriate version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233665

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry for the confusion, I didn't change from S-OFF to S-ON well... not intentionally atleast!
Tried running Rumrunner before but it wouldn't work however I wasn't using a stock Rom so I'll get on that now.
Using the latest TWRP I believe.
Thank you for the help! Will be back with you shortly!

"Latest" is always a bit vague, could refer to 2.6.3.0 or 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4, depending where you look, eg:

downloads: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 and/or http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
(don't use a download manager cause it will fail, and verify MD5)

I'm running 2.6.3.4
Just thought I'd give you a run down should any future forum members need to know how I finally achieved this.
I followed NKK71's advice.
I downloaded the Voda Rom from http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
Flashed that and then attempted to use the HTC One Toolkit V2.0
Do you think I could get the drivers working in Windows 8? Not a chance.
Would detect it when it was in its normal boot state but when in Fastboot it would always pick it up as an unrecognised device.
After a couple of hours of removing drivers, usbdeview or whatever its called and removing stuff in t here I gave up with Windows 8 (Sorry if your looking for this) I just couldn't get it to work.
I broke out my trusty Linux laptop downloaded ADB and Fastboot and attempted Rumrunner on that.
Failed, 64bit Linux and 32bit Libs required...
Searched for about an hour or two looking what libs are required finally came across the Libs required.
For everyones information it requires "ia32-libs" however on Debian Wheezy I just couldn't get them to download they were a held package and no matter how I tried I couldn't unhold them.
I eventually downloaded 32bit Ubuntu and put it onto a usb pen.
Booted from that, Ran rumrunner and the first time it failed and told me that the phone didn't have root.
Tried it again and after 5 or so minutes it gave me the same error message. I went through the whole process of trying to re-root the phone before I realised that on the phone a SUPERSU window was popping up but wasn't visible and because I wasn't granting root rumrunner couldn't complete its work.
So anyway after wasting another hour I ran rumrunner again, realised this supersu issue accepted and rumrunner completed.
Phone is now S-OFF
Rooted
SuperCID 11111111
Updated the Firmware to the latest version 4.****
TWRP 2.6.3.3 (4 kept crashing on me)
Attempted to install MIUI. Failed again.
Do I need to change the MID too?
Its the same error message as before, So atleast I've re-rooted, altered the CID, updated the firmware and S-Off'd
It does say M7 when it trys to install but I'm M7UL (Or atleast I think I am.)
Any help is appreciated.

[Q] All roms going into boot loop

Hey guys been going at this for about 14 hours
Story
flashed amazing android hd 3.1 thinking i had 5.1, when i realized that, i downloaded 5.1 and flashed it. Seemed to work except as soon as phone began to boot i got a pink screen followed by the htc and beats audio screen (logos were different colors) at this point it wouldn't do anything else.
I rebooted and went in recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and wiped cache, tried re flashing and same thing so i went in twrp (im a nweb haven't done this since i had my hero) formatted the data. Yes everything was gone no OS to boot from so i tried using sideloader but it wouldnt go past start up process i resorted to using adb, i pushed the amazing android 3.1 rom and flashed it. everything seemed to go fine. Seemed to boot, when i went to unlock the screen to set the phone up it just rebooted, it kept doing that over and over. Installed insert coin rom and did the same thing. idk what else to do :/ tried loading stock ruu but it gave me a fail message (cant remember what it was)
I never made any back ups as i didnt care about losing any data
Would appreciate some help guys
Im on mac and windows 7

thanks, im about to give it a shot
good morning lol
ok since im on s-on 4.06 do i skip this?
If you are S-OFF flash the 3.04 s-off firmware or 3.05 s-off firmware or 3.05.651.6 s-off firmware or 4.06.651.4 s-off firmware and you are done. If you are already on 4.06.651.4 you will have to flash the 3.05.651.6 s-off firmware first...reason being is the 4.06 s-off firmware does not have the latest radio included (use the same commands from 5.)
1.Download the 3.04 s-on firmware or 3.05 s-on firmware or 3.05.651.6 s-on firmware or 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware
2.Rename it firmware.zip (put the firmware.zip into the platform tools folder or the folder attached below)
3.Boot to bootloader
4.Lock bootloader(fastboot oem lock)
5.Then use these commands:
and go straight to this?
7.Then unlock the bootloader again and re-flash TWRP 2.6.3.0. (before formatting go to setting/screen and disable screen timeout)
8.Within TWRP 2.6.3.0 select Wipe > Format Data(it will ask you to confirm by typing YES) once done adb push a rom to your phone (adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/ ).
8a. If you are using the 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware I would suggest you push this Stock Rooted Odexed Rom to your device or it may not boot.
8b. After flashing the 4.06.651.4 rom you will most likely need to flash the latest radio because the 4.06 firmware does not have a radio included find it HERE
9.Optional but recommended: S-OFF using Rumrunner or Firewater
10.Win lol

[Q] Unable to OTA update after HTCDev Bootloader Unlock

It's been awhile since I've messed with ROMs, and much has changed. I think I might have bit off more than I can chew, but hopefully it's a quick fix. I've been trying to scan for solutions, but so far no luck.
About a week ago I decided I was tired of avoiding apps that had crazy permissions and decided to get root on my phone so I could use AppOpps. I went through the HTCDev route and unlocked the bootloader. I got stuck when firewater, temproot & Weaksauce wouldn't work.
So, I relocked the bootloader (shows **relocked**) and figured I'd wait until someone pushed an updated tool. Got an OTA notice, and now I can't update the software. The update fails about 1/3 of the way through, going from green circled arrows to red triangled exclamation.
I've tried using fastboot to push the OTA ROM, but have had no success. I can flash the newest firmware successfully (as noted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766604), but still no joy on the OEM ROM.
Do I really have to go to the trouble of flashing older firmware, downgrading the HBoot and ROM to an older version, etc.. to get up and running with a **locked** phone that will get OTA update?
Such a PITA to get control over my data/permissions.
Thanks in advance for help.
So just RUU and call it a day

Weaksauce does not work on the Sprint variants.
I would give Firewater another shot as s-off will save you headaches like this down the road. I would also suggest doing it before you update HTC has a way of making thing harder for us with every OTA.
If your phone is inoperable at the moment use this guide to get up and running.

If I run the RUU as suggested: Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU, will I still be in a good position to try firewater again?

That RUU won't work it's older then the software you are currently on.
Give firewater a try without using weaksauce

You are correct, the RUU did not work. It failed completely on Windows 8.1 x64, so I ran in on Windows 7 x64, and it stopped at about 4%. The phone screen was black with the HTC logo and it just stayed like that for over an hour (I took the dog for a walk).

Software version: 4.06.651.9
Android 4.4.2
HTC Sense 5.5
Can an OTA flash the firmware and die before updating the software?
Do I need to flash the firmware to match the reported software in the system?

You are correct, the RUU did not work. It failed completely on Windows 8.1 x64, so I ran in on Windows 7 x64, and it stopped at about 4%. The phone screen was black with the HTC logo and it just stayed like that for over an hour (I took the dog for a walk).
The Boot reports the following:

I've never personally did an OTA so not sure.
If you use the guide I posted and use the 5.03.651.3 s-on firmware and rom it will be just like taking the OTA
OK, it took a little bit of research, because you probably assume most folks already know how to do this, but I got through your tutorial. Getting the latest TWRP was a bit confusing. At first I thought I had to have the TWRP app from the Google Play Store, which requires root, but then I found the TWRP page pointing to GooManager which automatically found the latest file and installed.
After that, it took a minute to figure out I had to go into HBOOT and select recovery to get the TWRP tool. I thought I was going to be using an Android utility to accomplish this (I guess I mean to say an app from the play store, not a BIOS like utility).
Lastly, for some reason the Android MyHTC driver died, so I had to manually remove and re-install. Re-running HTC Sync Manager install did not help. Once I got that figured out, I was able to adb push the file to the SDCard (Too bad one can't just drag and drop, but I'm guessing MTP dies with the flash?) and then load it from TWRP.
At the moment, I'm happy. I have the newer software and plenty to play with. I will give Firewater a try again, but I'm guessing it will be more difficult with the newest firmware/ROM?
I started with this guide a few days ago, but didn't push forward when I couldn't figure out the TWRP information. It might help to update that part of the guide, unless you want to avoid too many noobs getting into trouble.
Thanks for your help, and pointing me back in the right direction so quickly.

No OS installed (Hboot 1.57)

I have an HTC One M7 with Hboot 1.57.0000
It was working perfectly on stock 4.4.2 ROM. But when I tried to S-Off it, I accidentally deleted the stock OS. Now currently the phone is not rooted, relocked and there is TWRP installed on it. I tried finding RUU for it but couldnt succeed. Here is what's appearing on bootloader screen:
***TAMPERED***

I also tried flashing custom ROM ie CM11 using adb sideload but it didn't work.
Kindly provide me with a link to either stock ROM which can be flashed with S-On or with a link to RUU.
Thanks.

There is no ruu for your phone version. push a rom to your phone using adb push if sideload doesnt work from recovery and install it. CM11 require TWRP 2.7.1.1 to flash correctly and all other 4.4+ roms require twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 to flash correctly.
To use the sideload method you need at least adb 1.0.29 (latest is 1.0.31) but adb push will works fine everytime.

Both adb push and adb sideload are not working. Previously sideload was working but now it has stopped. It gives an error adb sideload complete Failed. When can we expect a RUU for my phone version? :'(
Is there any way by which I can S-off my phone in current state? Only then I can use currently available RUU.

there was no .707 RUU released ever so don't expect any RUU to be released for that version. What was the error when using adb push?

your phone must be full stock to take ota updates so no, you can't unless you flash an updated custom rom, like arhd or viper

Sir I have now installed ViperOne 6.2.1. I then tried to S-Off using firewater, it didn't work. Then I saw a post in which a guy said that one should first install a kernel like Element to make firewater work. So I installed ElementalX and then again tried firewater. It is again giving me the same error.

Need help with S-Off/which rom?

Hi,
I've not flashed my phone for what feels like years (I think it was start of 2014). I see most of ROMs require S-OFF, but I'm not having much luck with that.
TWRP installed
Rooted
CyanogenMod 10.2.1-myul
4.3.1
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000

I get errors when trying to use either revone/rumrunner:
Revone error:
revone failed (error code = -1)
Rumrummer error:
After it reboots for a second time, it throws up an error
Can anybody point in the right direction? I was going to flash this RUU file...but thought I should check before going and bricking my phone (I from the UK and use the EE provider)
RUU M7 UL K44 SENSE55 MR HTC Europe 4.19.401.9 R Radio 4A.23.3263.28 10.38r.1157.04L Release 353069 Signed 2-1

Thank in advance (also, since I've been out of the game for a while...anything else that you think is a must would be appreciated!)

Most of rom doesn't require s-off, only a few like GPE roms or Oneplus.

I should of said, Im not a fan of sense roms (I wanted to try a GE rom haha). So, just to clarify, I flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
Could I then flash another rom ontop (would this fix my hboot version or whatever is causing the problems just now?).
I have everything backed up with Titanium Backup, just wanted to double check (downloading it as I type!)
ALso, thanks so much for reply...i've tried for two days straight...I knew you guys would have the answer

Flashing a rom will not change hboot version. To use revone, you must have root access, an unsecured kernel and a rom that match your firmware version. Thats why I suggested you to flash ARHD 31.6. Then try revone again.

Ah ok, i get you now. I've finished work but will re-try tomorrow and report back. Thanks man
Edit: It started to go horribly wrong, but managed to get it working. It seems the ARHD and others were not being copied over properly when using the sideload feature in the All-In-One toolkit. It kept saying
sending 'sideload' 100%
but when checking the phone it says "ADB Sideload Complete FAILED"
I tried various roms and got the same error. Weird. Ended up trying
Slim rom (under 1gb) and it worked a treat
