[SOLVED] HTC One Debranding - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just bought an HTC One which is unlocked but it shows the O2 bootscreen. I wish to debrand the phone but will that lock the phone? I am not sure how the phone was unlocked by the previous user. Thanks

No it will not lock the phone, unless you want it locked. Post a fastboot getvar all except remove the imei and serialno and we will be able to direct you how to rebrand your phone.

I dont know if you are talking about sim unlock or bootloader unlock but anyway, both sim and bootloader will stay unlocked even if you flash another rom or if you debrand the phone.

I see
@alray Yeah I mean sim unlock, Can you post a link of a guide to install stock htc rom to debrand. Will I be able to get OTA updates? What steps are needed Unlock bootloader, s-off, change cid custom recovery and install rom? Can you link me to a stock rom with ota for europe or international version. I had a look at the first link in your sig but its kinda confusing.
@nkk71 can you help?

If you want a full conversion, you can s-off the phone, change cid to HTC__001 and flash a x.xx.401.x RUU. Your best option to s-off on hboot 1.57 is probably sunshine s-off but its a paid exploit (25 USD) or you can try firewater, its free but it will require more steps and you have like 50% chance it will not work.
or the easier way, if you only want a debranded rom, you could only unlock the bootloader, flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and then flash a rom (like arhd 71.1)

@alray Hey I did everything and am now trying to get the right RUU for europe or international. I flashed this : RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe and it seems to be fine except I am still s-off and an for some reason an option while doing the initial wizard called Tell HTC tells me this is a test device so this option will remain on. What is causing this? My device is a test device?! Wrong RUU?
Edit: I am updating the phone but it wont find the latest after every boot it finds the next. Now installing 4.3, it was 4.1.2 to begin with..

Tell HTC/test device is normal. You'll always get this message at the initial setup with s-off phones, don't worry with this.
The ruu will not turn back s-on and thats a good thing. Keep your phone s-off.

Yeah I thought it was the s-off causing this. Thanks for you reply, gonna install update after update and see if it comes up with the latest. Bit strange it doesn't install the absolute latest, but I guess the final update size would be huge to have all the fixes in previous versions in one.

updates must be installed incrementally, don't worry you'll eventually be on the latest version.

HTC One Developer Edition: WiFi and Bluetooth fail

Hello friends. First of all, I apologize if I am not very clear, but I have little knowledge of English, and to be faster I'll use a translator...
Since about a week ago, my HTC One Developer Edition is showing me errors with WiFi and Bluetooth. These are off steadily even when in use. At first I thought it was a failure of the last installed ROM (ARHD 40.1), but I've tried others such as CM11 without installing any mod and restore my latest nandroid backup, but I have had the same result.
Apart from changing the ROM all I remember doing is to update the firmware, so yesterday I upgraded to the new firmware version to see if solved, but still follows the failure. Do not think it's a hardware failure because the mobile is not second hand, has not suffered any drop and was always working perfectly, so I ask your help and attached the information that shows the phone using fastboot getvar all command if serving them for a diagnosis. Thanks in advance.

Either one will do, they're just slightly different version numbers 1.29.1540.16 and 1.29.1540.3, might as well go for the .16. You'll have to download from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
then you can follow my guide (in my signature), because you need to downgrade hboot to 1.44 separately first, before you can run the RUU. (just the first part about downgrading hboot, the rest of the guide is for people who want to return the phone for warranty)
Also keep S-Off, do NOT go S-On!!!

Yes, but I don't see changes. (Later, I change the "Keep WiFi on during idle" to Always), but just keeps running and then switching off when it want, and when it goes off, just says "activating", infinite loop until I restart.. Same for bluetooth.

Well, without ideas, I sent the phone to HTC America, for guarantee. I had to pay $ 70 shipping because I live in Dominican Republic (No HTC), but after 15 days I received my phone in perfect working (they did not even scratch), and by the way, apparently they changed my camera ... It's not purple! :laugh:

[Q] HTC One stuck in white starting screen

Hi!
My brother tried to update the latest update for his HTC One and at some point it restarted and is now stuck in the white starting screen.
It's stock, I just unlocked the bootloader, but apart from that I would like to not root the phone.
I tried several things - I can get into the bootloader and also into fastboot, I did a factory reset and wiped the cache, nothing helped.
For some reason I can't do some things through fastboot, if I try for example to do "fastboot continue" I get "resuming boot... FAILED (remote: not allowed)".
Here is the bootloader information:

Can anyone help?

I'm not too familiar with restoring a stock phone, but I would try running an RUU.
As you phone is stock anyway you should only need to run the RUU.exe.
I would try following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
You might need to gain S-OFF to then downgrade your HBOOT version for some RUUs to work.

The problem with running an RUU is that there isn't one for this version.
It's a O2 Germany, with the cidnum: O2___102 - I googled a lot, but I couldn't find a RUU for this, only a nandroid backup, which I can't use because I haven't CWM or a different CR.
Also to get S-OFF I need to root the phone which I didn't want to do.
Problem is solved anyways, my brother brought the phone to the store to get it fixed - let's hope he doesn't have to pay because I unlocked the HBOOT.
Thanks for your help!

Shouldn't have to pay, I know all this thing about warranty voiding if you unlock the boot loader, but i've never had this issue or know anyone that has. My brother took his HTC back as the USB port became loose and developed a faulty connection, fully rooted, s-off and unlock boot loader!
They fixed it no questions asked, only they did flash an RUU so the phone was s-on and locked again.
Should be fine

[Q] Back to Stock for Bell HTC One

I have been reading a lot of guides and I am still not sure how I can take my Bell phone and bring it back to stock. I have S-OFF and GPE right not which I installed via a zipped RUU.
Now, if I want to get the latest 4.2.2 that Bell made available for the HTC One, I have to somehow be able to get the OTA and have no custom recovery. I could not find an RUU ZIP or EXE for bell (666), only a stock ROM. I could install that but comes the OTA, it won't install because of the custom recovery.
How can I go back to stock from here? I have been told by a few to just stick to the GPE edition but I would like to got back to sense.
Thank you.

NKK71 helped me bring the phone back to stock GPE, but I'm getting weird problems and I am not sure why, but I remember I didn't have those problems with stock. Stuff like streaming not working over WiFi, MMS messages not sent when I have WiFi enabled, stuff like that.
The problem is that Bell (x.xx.666x.) has no RUU that I can find, only a nandroid which I could use but that won't give me the option to get the OTA (I think)

yes sadly there is only nandroid of BM right now
I just updated the firmware today, the one I had was for 4.3 so I upgraded that. I'm just not sure if the problems come from the fact that there is no HTC One google edition in Canada and that either my radios or firmware are not working perfectly on bell.

yeah maybe that could be the problem
why not try the nandroid and see how it goes?
Hmm, you are going to have a HBOOT mismatch if you run the Canadian Restock method in my guide posted in my signature, as it uses 1.55HBOOT for 4.3 JB, but you are on 1.56 HBOOT.
However if you run the RUU ZIP file for TELUS, you will get the right HBOOT. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...157-04_release_336571_signed_2_decrypted-zip/
Download and rename to Telus.zip
See if you can do this:
fastboot oem writecid TELUS001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip Telus.zip
fastboot flash zip Telus.zip (You will need to run this command twice due to HBOOT downgrade)
fastboot reboot (if it doesn't reboot automatically)
NOTE: I have not personally ran the ZIP file above, but it should be fine.
Oh Wow, there is a guide for Canadian HTC One, didn't know that!
Are you sure that a Telus RUU will work on a Bell phone? They use different networks I think

As I said, i have no personally tested it, but thats the only way to bring your HBOOT down to 1.55.
Other option will be to go all the way down to 1.44 HBOOT. You NEED to be comfortable with using adb/fastboot commands REGARDLESS whichever options you decide to go with.

I know how to go back to 1.44, I have done that before.
So what you are saying is that if I have the nandroid installed, and stock recovery from your thread, the phone will detect the OTA? It should install no problem because it will be a standard recovery.
Yes 1.44 HBOOT, 1.44 Compatible BELL Nandroid, and Stock recovery will give you future OTAs.

Thatk you, one last question before I try this, the OTA, will it replace the radios and firmware as well to Bell's? I guess it depends on what they put in the OTA.
Yes, OTA generally contain new OS, HBOOT, Recovery, and RADIO, practically a full RUU replacement, but not all. IF you are S-ON, you will need to lock bootloader after loading stock recovery, but if you are S-OFF, that doesnt matter, and I will suggest to stay S-OFF!
Please help

If you're going to follow my guide, you'll need to use CWM method, using this nandroid: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-bm___001-1-29-666-5-zip/
make sure to have read it once or twice, to be sure you're comfortable with the process

You should be able to use any rom you want ... with no s-off you just can't downgrade your firmware or change your CID / MID
This Stock Rom should work fine on your phone >> http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=One_6.09.401.5_odexed.zip
If you have a problem flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 it works best with ARHD Roms
and Here's the Stock GPe Rom .. it may need s-off not sure on your phone

As @clsA said unfortunately nothing you can do with s-on. You need s-off to downgrade and there is no ruu for your current version.
You need to get s-off or flash a custom Rom
Do you mind if I ask, did you unlock your bootloader when your device was on Android 4.3 or just recently?

Yeah sorry, mine and @clsA questions about your unlocking the bootloader were about a different discussion. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57932209
As clsA warned, DO NOT relock your bootloader for any reason. You probably won't be able to Unlock it again.

HTC One M7 GPE won't update from Jellybean

I have an HTC One M7 Google Play Edition running Jellybean (4.2.2). This lags well behind the current version of android for this version of the phone. Unfortunately, I am unable to receive an OTA update (everytime I check, I get a message stating that my phone is up to date). Is there anything I can do to force an OTA update short of rooting the device and manually installing the updates? I am currently on a BYOD plan with T-Mobile if that matters at all.

Everything looks good. Is your bootloader locked/unlock/relocked?
You could use a RUU to update your phone, flashing a ruu will wipe everything from the phone, like if it was brand new. Backup your important files before.
If you ever considered S-OFF for your phone, better to do it before updating using rumrunner exploit for free. If you update to the latest version, you will need to use Sunshine s-off which cost 25$.

My bootloader is locked. (I pulled the phone out of the unopened box just yesterday).
I tried to get S-OFF using rumrunner so I could update using the HBOOT recovery feature, but there was an issue with my phone not being rooted or something along those lines. Maybe the failure was due to a locked bootloader? (I'm new to all of this.)
If I set my phone to S-OFF, would it be better to just manually apply the updates or use an RUU?

Achieving s-off requires root. Root requires a custom recovery, Custom recovery requires an unlocked bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty if you have one.
S-OFF is not something everyone needs but its very useful when you have to flash files in case the phone is somehow bricked. If you are not planning to flash custom roms or any other custom files I would recommend staying S-ON. In the worst case, you'll have to pay 25$ for s-off if you really need it later.
better to use the RUU to update the phone imo, much faster than applying all ota updates from your current version. The only downside of using a ruu is that it will wipe your phone data (which shouldn't be a big issue since your phone is 1 day old). Much convenient to update using ota update after so you'll not have to deal with the wipe each time.

I am having trouble finding an RUU for the google play edition. I've been googling and searching the forums for a while now, but most of the RUU's and ROMs I find are for the Sense version. Would the RUU here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 work?

Thanks for the all the help! I used the RUU to update to 5.0.1. That, unfortunately, did not allow an OTA update directly, but I did manage to sideload the 5.1 update via abd.
