[Q] Help! Need to get back to ATT stock.

Hello all, I am sort of in a predicament.
First of all, I have an ATT Htc One that had 1.44 Hboot and unlocked, rooted, running Android Revolution HD 22.0 just fine.
On the rom the thread Mike said it was recommended to update firmware, so I did just that.
I headed over to his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823 found the corresponding firmware zip for my device
CWS 001 PN0712000 and flashed it. The firmware being 3.06.1700.10 and now my hboot is 1.54
I am aware that no RUU's will run with 1.54 but is there anyway I can revert back to stock without running a RUU?
Maybe flashing stock rom and stock recovery, relocking and wait for the upcoming OTA due for the ATT htc one?
I would very appreciative for the help.
And I know I should've been more knowing before flashing firmwares, so go on and burn me as much as youd like but id still like some help.
I just assumed since the rom developer insisted it was for the better that there would be a way out of it, which is my bad.
thank you

I'm in your same boat. Did you ever figure this out? I have an ATT HTC One m7 model PN0712000 with CID CWS__001. My HBOOT is 1.57. Is there a way to get back to STOCK?

Hey.
Im currently runing 4.3 GE on my HTC ONE. Did it with 4.3 GE RUU.
And sence touchgroup didn't release their RUU, I don't know to go back.
I thought about going back to some RUU of sense 5 4.1 (mabye 2.24.401.x) , and changing my Cid and ModelID to
PN0711000
HTC__K18
and get the 4.2.2 - 2.24.401.9 OTA update.
Is this possible? thanks.

Are you S-Off or S-On?
If you want to downgrade, first thing you need is to S-Off.

That's good. So if I understand correctly you want to go back to 2.24.401.2 to be able to receive the OTA to 2.24.401.9? If yes then here's the backup:
stock rom: (originally for HTC__J15)
backup_2.24.401.2.zip 992.9 MB
https://mega.co.nz/#!bJFwTK5A!dFlFjw9hCq98SHxPKC9jxRn9GdwcvcoBcKaDdn2pQJU
stock recovery:

https://mega.co.nz/#!PQ9BnSBS!ZAqGcgKi7hXiXDXFs7yKaEQASMgcab5t4vjw19__92A
probably best to also flash a 2.24.401.1 firmware (or 2.24.401.2, don't think it's available though).
PS: the procedure you are about to take will probably wipe your phone so backup everything to your PC
If I misunderstood, let me know

so before the above, you should run a full Sense 5 RUU (exe), get one from the Guru: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
to restore everything to HTC Sense not GPe, then you can proceed with above
anyway keep S-Off, that's your ticket if something goes bad.
I'm about to sign off for tonight, so if I don't reply tonight, I'll check in on you tomorrow....

2- Unfortunately, just changing CID and MID to "TouchGroup" (or any other carrier), won't be good enough to get OTAs, you need to be based on their ROM.
3- Other alternative: change CID and MID to European WWE (unbranded), run the RUU.exe and get OTAs that way. (the phone will look like a completely unbranded European WWE edition)

Hey man. Its been a few days , and I got the RUU I wished for.
So now I'm on :
Bootloader *Locked*
Android 4.3 Google Edition
system vers: 3.07.1700.1
Cid: HTC__K18
Mid: PN0711000
And I'm willing to flash Sense 5 - 2.24.401.9 - 4.2.2 RUU. ------- which only workes with my current Cid and Mid.
Would it go smooth? I'm going from 4.3 to 4.2.2... (I'm also asking about the downgrade, but generally on the whole procces.)

[Q] How to Debrand HTC One

I have a HTC One on the EE network in the UK and I am still currently on Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5, they haven't bothered to release Android 4.4 yet and I have no hope that they will release Sense 6.
So, I would like to know how to go about changing my EE branded phone into an Unlocked International Version so that I can receive OTA updates direct from HTC.
Current CID: ORANG001
Current Hboot: 1.55
Current Software Number: 3.63.61.1
Radio: 4A.21.3263.04
Locked Bootloader with S-On
I would very much appreciate any help you can give.
Thank-You

first of all you need to unlock your bootloader and s-off your phone, debrand is not possible with s=on
the you would need to change your cid to something like HTC__001 or developer edition cid, one fastboot command required to do this.
and then run the correct RUU for those cid's and your done.
its quite easy to do, the hardest part is getting s-off, however you may be ok on 1.55 hboot, try rumrunner, read the instructions and download the required file here: http://rumrunner.us/

Do I need custom recovery? If so which is best.
And do I need to have a custom ROM installed to gain s-off or can s-off be achieved on my current EE branded ROM?

nope its not required for either, you should be able to s-off on stock rom, if you get an error or for some reason it fails, then you MAY have to flash a custom recovery and custom rom / kernel.
The RUU's will put you back to fully stock anyway in the end.

If the s-off does cause an error or it fails, can this cause my device to get bricked?
And by fully stock do you mean that the RUU turns s-on and locks my boot loader? (just in case I need to send my phone in for repair).

no your phone wont brick
and no the ruu wont turn your phone s-on, you will need to lock your bootloader before running the RUU, but that's one simple command too, but only after s-off.
all you need right now is to make sure you have the drivers installed and that your device is detected in windows both when booted into a rom and on the bootloader screen.

not really something they will check to be honest, but if you s-on and you've played about with your phone down the line, like flashed a modified firmware or hboot, you will get an instant brick, if your hboot version is too high you will get the tampered flag back, or if you make a mistake along the way and the fix requires s-off, it will be very difficult to get again.

So, is the following step by step list correct.
1. Unlock boot loader
2. Get s-off via rumrunner
3. Change CID
4. Lock boot loader
5. Run RUU
And, I am currently on 4.3 and Sense 5.5, so can I go straight to the sense 6 and Android 4.4 RUU, or do I have to install the sense 5.5 and Android 4.4 RUU first.

is it possible to re-apply the branding?

change cid

yup I can see what the problem is, but how did you convert to dev edition (OS 1540) with s-on ? that's not AT&T CWS001 firmware, you have mismatches going on there, cid vs firmware

That's what I've been trying to figure out. I'm kind of a noob at this and I probably did something I shouldn't have a few months ago when I tried to convert to developer edition.
I've been trying to get s-off using rumrunner, but with no luck.

your going to have to get s-off using this: http://theroot.ninja/ its the only way to get s-off on HBOOT 1.57, rumrunner wont do it, sunshine will cost you $25
And after you have s-off, follow this little guide to continue your convert to dev edition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/guide-convert-m7-developer-edition-t2840311

That did it! I've been at this for hours. Thank you very much.

Thanks!! This helped me. I have an ATT M7 converted to DEV, but set CID back to ATT to get signal strength working properly. This is the first OTA that refused to load. Setting the CID back to Dev model. Got the Lollipop OTA loaded like a charm. After that set CID back to ATT. Loving Lollipop on an M7 !

[Q] OTA 5.02 Update with TWRP

Hello,
I have looked on xda for an answer before i started this thread but couln't really find the answer or solution i'm personally looking for.. The problem is a friend of mine is S-On with an ex-contract HTC One (M7) CID is something like VODA..... and his HBoot is 1.57.0000 - I'm trying to S-Off his phone so he can get rid of the Vodafone and Flash Firmware and European RUU (This is i can do) but i need to S-Off it 1st ... I installed TWRP so as to root his phone and unlocked the bootloader (HTCDev unlock token) BUT now the problem is, he's just had the Lollipop 5.02 OTA update and of course, cannot instal it with TWRP present :/ i was told just to flash Stock recovery over it? is this correct? and if so, how would i go about it please and how would i get S-Off on his mobile please? I'm lead to believe that Sunshine S-Off is the only option with that HBoot version.. ?
Many thanks in advance to xda and its members :good:

better to achieve s-off now before taking the ota update or you will need to wait for the new release of sunshine (3.0).
Yes sunshine is the only way to achieve s-off on hboot 1.57.
Achieve s-off
change cid to HTC__001
change mid (if required) to PN0710000
flash the latest ruu 7.19.401.2

is this any good please? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934533542

I meant to add - i can flash the Firmware with S-On can't i? as it's custom.. do i need to be rooted for that? and once firmware has been flashed i will need to Sunshine S-Off or Sunshine 1st then the rest? can i instal that RUU on S-On? If so i will just go ahead (without updating to 5.02) ..would this be ok? I think i need S-Off to chaange CID though dont i? so Sunshie 1st it would be?

No you don't understand, you must use the fastboot version posted at page 4 or it will not work. Read the post you'll understand. The regular fastboot from the Android sdk won't work for this RUU.

I see now ..i got the HTC_Fastboot.exe ...is this correct? also, i'm downloading the European.RUU now .. will this come with the Firmware.zip or will i need to search and flash that 1st please? i'm sorry if i'm confusing the issue but i'm really quite new at this and don't totally understand.. also, would the CID still be HTC___001 and can i change that with s-on? 'fastboot oem writecid'
I need to change CID 1st dont i? then Firmware then RUU? then finally S-Off with sunshine before the 5.02 update

ok i've got fw_7.19.401.2-NoRed_NoWipe Firmware and will read up on how to use the htc_fastboot.exe

The European RUU is HTC___001. If your phone is s on you cannot change your CID. You need s off to do that

do not flash that firmware whilst s-on, its modified firmware and will brick your phone, you need s-off to change your CID or falsh any different firmware than vodafone firmware.

I discovered that last night i kinda knew anyway that i could not change the CID without S-Off but with everything going on i forgot.. iv'e decided to stick Android Revolution HD 91.1 on his HTC One.. at least he'l have 5.02 and a quick & reliable OS ... iv'e head that 5.02 is the last OTA update for the M7 so it wouldn't matter if he can't update ..cheers for your help anyway

Sorry, i only read half your reply - will i need to change CID for Android Revolution HD? will this be safe to flash onto his device please?
