[Q] Stuck on build 2.24.401.9. Want out with OTA / Other Stock Rom

Hi all,
I've been banging my head for quite some time on why I haven't received any of the OTA updates. I'm still on 4.2.2 and seeing my friends, with different variants of course, getting KitKat... pisses me off
As you can see I'm S-on and was wondering if I really need to go through the hassle of S-Off.
Can anyone here offer a simple walkthrough or a link to download a relevant OTA or Stock ROM that could start getting me OTA updates?
In the searches I've done I couldn't find an OTA I could manually flash since none of the OTAs base versions is 2.24.401.9. Signature fail every time.
adb and fastboot fully functional.
I didn't flash any recovery or other img yet. Fresh out of the box.
Here are my device details:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.54.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.17.3250.14

No idea why people want stock OTA...
Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, flash whatever rom you want. No need for s-off.
Simple as 1, 2, 3.

Moderator Information,
I have removed your IMEI number. This is personal information and you shouldn't post it on line.
Ghost

I have exactly the same problem. HTC One is unrooted (or whatever HTC's expression for root is), but it doesnt want to update to last version 4.4.2, which is already available for my version 3.62.401.1.
If anyhone has an idea how to get OTA for 4.4.2, please let us know.

Why not just flash ARHD 5.1...4.19.401.8.
You will have the latest rom, identical to the stock Rom, but slicker, faster and better. When HTC decide to update that Rom, ARHD will be the first to offer it. No waiting for it to become available for you country/network or variant.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app

Well, thanks.
I wish to have stock OTA so I won't need to chase after stable releases, battery drain issues, or other wonderful scenarios I know you guys handle daily.
On that matter, installing another stock will put me on track for OTA updates? Are there other factors that could prevent it?
Appreciate the help.

That's fine - to each his own. My experience has been that you get great stability and even better battery (using custom kernels) with custom roms, but hey, that's just me
You'll just have to wait for your carrier to send the OTA - you can't force it.

[Q] Problems installing Roms and Recoveries

I bought my HTC One from Trademe (NZ's ebay) supposedly brand new, but it turns out it was already S-OFF and had CID 1111111. After unlocking the bootloader, I tried to install a custom recovery. All of the ones I tried seemed to install properly, but on booting, would get stuck at the 'entering recovery...' screen, however adb still worked here. Eventually I found two recoveries that do work (philz touch 6.25.0 and TWRP 2.6.3.3 thanks to this post) upon trying to install a custom rom, however the only ones that successfully install and boot are stock roms from this site. When booting custom roms the white boot screen flashes black once disappears except for a small white line at the top of the screen which disappears after a second or two. When booting cm-11 adb devices tells me an unauthorised device is attached. Attached are the recovery logs from various roms. Sorry if this is a bit long, but it's really frustrating me.

I dont' know if it helps, but this is the output from fastboot getvar all:

You have s-off, just use a RUU to restore your phone and you're done.

Do I need to change my CID to do that and does it matter which RUU I use?

Oftentimes you do not have to with SuperCID but if it balks then change it to match the RUU. You will want to stick to RUU for your variant, i.e., GSM, CDMA, Dual-Sim, etc. You need to be careful since you are S-OFF the system will not save you if you run the wrong RUU and brick your phone!

How do I know the CID from these files?

The better question is do you want the International (.401); DevEd (.1540) or a specific carrier variant? The Int'l and DevEd will get upgrades faster than carrier variant. Check out this Collection of RUU he list the CID for most of the RUU.

Just in case anyone ever stumbles upon this thread in the distant future, let it be known that I managed to install this rom successfully and it's got all the useful features you'd expect from Cyanogenmod (and a few more).

[Q] How to again unroot/Lock HTC One M7 which is still on stock/factory ROM.

Hi Guru's
I have rooted my HTC One M7 (India, CID - HTC_038) but didn't flash it with any custom ROM and continued using the stock/factory ROM. Now, I want to revert to the locked/unroot mode since I don't want to miss the OTA updates from HTC. I see that there is some information available on XDA and other forums but it looked fragmented to me. Can you please guide me or re-direct me to correct source which has more clear details. Please find the details. Thanks in advance !
Note: I am using TWRP.

For ota update to work you need stock recovery installed and 100% untouched stock rom (root and unlocked bootloader doesn't matter)
But when you unlock the bootloader, you loose the /data/preload folder which contain some HTC preloaded apps, weather animations etc...
Ota updates are patching these apps and if there are missing, the ota update installation will fail.
So you need to restore this folder and its files, set files permission and flash the stock 6.13.707.106 recovery back.
Or easier solution use this 6.13.707.106 reset rom. Flash it using your TWRP recovery. This will reset your rom to 100% stock including that /data/preload folder. You also have the possibility to flash the stock recovery when installing the rom, so you'll be 100% ready to take the ota update.
download the reset rom and push it to your phone storage
install it using TWRP
in the installation select YES for stock recovery and stock radio
select NO for ROOT

Some details i missed initially !
Really appreciate your quick response Alray but just wanted to add some more information (i hope its relevant !).
There is a new OTA update for India region, it successfully downloads but when the phone reboots , it goes into TWRP and if I try to flash that downloaded OTA from recovery, it fails.
My question is - The method described above by you will also take care of this issue..right ?

No. You will need s-off to flash this RUU
The only way to s-off your phone is by using Sunshine (Cost 25$).
There is no reset rom for your version (.401 M7_U variant).

I can't find any stock recovery for 5.11.666.8 version and restoring the stock recovery is not enough to be able to receive ota update again in most cases. If you have unlocked the bootloader you lost some HTC apps (i.e Flashlight, Calculator, RingTone trimmer etc..) which are required to install ota update (if only one file to be updated is missing from your phone, like an HTC app, the ota update installation will fail).
I think you should re-stock using the latest available Bell RUU
Backup your important files before, the ruu will wipe your phone.
Download the file above and save it to your adb/fastboot folder.
Download this fastboot version (important) and save it to you adb/fastboot folder
Make sure your bootloader is locked or re-locked, if not:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Then flash the ruu:
Code:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_BM_7.17.666.7_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_420193_signed.zip
htc_fastboot reboot
Phone will reboot itself once during the flash and you'll see an error message in your command window at the same time, its normal as long as the end result is "successful"
Btw edit your above post and remove your IMEI number and your serialno. Never post these numbers.

HTC M7 - Return to stock - Have lollipop OTA update

Hello everyone,
I want to receive the latest OTA update for my M7. I know this is not possible with a rooted phone
I have been reading through this forum since yesterday and could not find a straight forward solution - I could not understand some of the terms used! I even visited htc1guru and found a lot of information, but could not determine which one is good for me.
Information are scattered and are not in one location, and it seem that everyone has his own case, so I appreciate if I can receive some help or if someone can guide me with the steps to be taken. BTW my phone CID is HTC__A48, is this bad?
My phone details are as following:
s-on, rooted, Unlocked, stock rom version 6.09.401.106
fastboot getvar all

Everything you need to return to full stock is here, because you have the M7_U, makes it a bit harder: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/backup-100-stock-6-09-401-111-twrp-t2992871
Restore the TWRP backup from the link then flash the stock recovery also from the link, update should work then.
after updating, create a backup and copy to your computer before rooting or anything in case you need it again.

At last I can see something that might work! and it is because of your help sir.
I will download the files and give it a try.
However the thread author also included " 6.09.401.111 Firmware with Hboot 1.57.000 https://yadi.sk/d/n7BAQ8vpdqPSS " can this be useful?
Many thanks

you shouldn't need to flash the firmware, and as your version-main is missing I cant be sure its the correct firmware for your phone, so I wouldn't risk it, your firmware might be newer or even 2 or 3 steps older in which case it wouldn't work, the backup and recovery file should be enough to get the update.

[Q] Best way to update firmware

Hi
I want to update from ViperOne v6 to v8, but as I understand it I need to update the firmware. I'm S-On so I can't just flash the firmware. I think I have two options:
1 - Flash a stock ROM and update via OTA updates.
2 - Flash a 'close to stock' ROM and use Sunshine to get S-Off. Then flash updated firmware
Which is the simplest? I've done some research but I'm not really sure which files I need to use to do either method.
Any help greatly appreciated!

The fastest would be sunshine but it's not free but you would gain s-off for all future use
Stock recovery and rom is free
Both are easy
Sent from my HTC One_M8

I'm leaning towards option 2 and getting S-Off through Sunshine. Can anyone help me figure out which firmware I need for my device? I read a post mentioning that firmware should be upgraded in stages, is that right?
Thanks

yes it is right, but with s-off you can flash any firmware you like, just make sure its a full firmware package, not one thats been pulled from an OTA.
on a different note, if you want to return to stock and just do all the OTA's all the files you need are here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=4.20.206.16
restore the nandroid first using twrp recovery, then easiest way after that is to flash stock recovery, lock the bootloader and pull the firmware from the OTA then flash that firmware, you'll be full stock then and able to update.
