[Q] Unable to unlock, flash recovery or s-off or RUU

I have one hell of a problem.
Status of device:
-Google play edition kit kat htc one (converted from att version)
-No recovery, recovery is INACCESSABLE
-No root, and temp root does not work as well.
-Stock att RUU's not working (as of yet)
-I have tried firewatter, revone and rum runner to try and root so i can get s-off but unable.
-For whatever reason fastboot oem unlock does not as well as the unlock token.
Things i haven't tried because i cant find them:
-Google play edition RUU.exe file
-A standalone RUU for downgrading hboot 1.54 (which is my device currently)
-A modified RUU.exe that will allow me to restore to stock ANYTHING
-A RUU.zip that i can flash manually without s-off
Any suggestions?

you probably have to redo the process at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
redo the process and try to unlock your bootloader with the new unlock.bin
just follow the steps

OK.. Explain this. If you converted. You went SOFF. Then how do you end up with LOCKED Bootloader and SJON?
sent from my mobile device

I have had the same problem few weeks ago
First unlock your bootloader again with a new unlock.bin ...redo the hole process
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Second regain S-Off with rumrunner
Finaly you should be able to restore with a RUU

Dosent go

It says on the prompt that it completed successfully with the unlock, however i do not receive a prompt on the device stating the developer options to accept or deny.
I will proceed as if i did and try my att ruu to try and update the device.
I tried with a google ruu and get signature verify fail, i think that i get the same issue with the att ruu.
IF you can suggest a RUU that will help me out of the situation i would really appreciate it.
Also if there is any reason why rum runner will not complete, i can swear adb is up everything should work but it just will not complete.

Turning security back to ''on'' and relocking your bootloader on GPE was a bad decision, you probably bricked your device forever.
This is discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547894
With S-ON and Locked (Re-Locked) bootloader, your only hope is to flash a RUU of same or higher version than the version currently installed on your phone. You can't downgrade anything with s-on using a ruu.exe neither a ruu.zip. You are stuck until htc release a newer gpe ruu.
Post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' minus your IMEI and SERIALNO

Is there any chance of spoofing the ruu.zip to make it look like a higher verison?
If not that can i just flash a recovery image even if its stock so i can have a recovery as i currently don't even have that which i think is the source of my problems.

Unfortunately no. ''spoofing'' the ruu will require to decrypt it. With s-on you can't flash a decrypted ruu, you can only flash a ruu that is signed with HTC private key (decrypted ruu can't be signed back with HTC private key). S-OFF would have saved your phone in this case.
The only way to flash the stock recovery in your case is to flash a signed firmware.zip of the same of higher version.

Afaik, there is no ruu you can flash. Your version is 3.62.1700.1 and the latest ruu I can find is 3.58.1700.5 which is a downgrade (require S-OFF) You'll need to find or wait for a ruu higher or equal to 3.62.1700.1

That sux.
Are you sure there is no other way?
The htc regular version stock is version 4 something and so i was hopping that would override any bull**** i have going on.
i tired temp roots to see if i can s-off in os with firewater but i was unsuccesffully at gaining temp root.
Its funny to me because i swear reading somewhere that "andoid 4.4 is great" dont even have to root because of app ops or something but its obvious now thats a load of b.s and i should have just always run rooted as that has never done me wrong.
Do you know where i would find a ruu when one comes out? as one probably will with 4.4.3 coming out soon.

The international version ruu is a .401 base (not .1700) and require to change CID and probably MID. Changing those values require S-OFF!

This is my output from trying temp root with firewater method.
I am not sure what the issue is that is happening but i assume with the first failure the whole system collapses.
Thank you for the help btw, and i will keep my eyes open for a new ruu.
What do i need to be looking for in the ruu to make sure it will work with my phone?

must be signed and same or higher version than 3.62.1700.1.
any .1700 version will match your CID and MID (GOOGL01 and PN0712000)

Last question,
Flashing a newer hboot or the "modified gpe bootloader"
Is it possible since im s-off, and will it change anything?
And why wont this zip work?
RUU Zip M7 Google Edition 4.4 3.58.1700.5
Because its version 3.58 and i am 3.62?

I like Htc phones and especially their commitment to bring timely updates.
But.....i do miss being able to use odin and never have to worry if your device gets f-ed up you can always reformat it to stock without trying to get a warranty replacement (which i cant because i'm rocking my google play edition) which is great and totally beats cyanogen mod for stability.
Although....i miss blink feed lol

Fomr the output of your fastboot getvar all, you are S-ON not S-OFF so you won't be able to flash a modifed hboot. Btw, if you flash a modified hboot in the future with s-off, you will brick your device if you s-on again (with a modified hboot)

Yes, 3.58 is a downgrade of version from what you have currently on your phone. Downgrading require S-OFF

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..

your version-main? (rom version) Go in settings --> About --> Software info --> Rom version
maybe there is a ruu you could use to restore the phone(4.19.401.9), if it match your version

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?

[Q] Return to stock again, Q hboot

Hi,
So returning to stock again and Im planning on doing the following
Install the following zip as per video instructions on website.

Then install this version of SuperSU >
Follow this guide to set the bootloader to LOCKED

No the version main won't be downgraded with the guru reset file, that file is pretty much rom only, you need the firmware.zip file to do that, you also need it to downgrade your hboot, or an ruu, I've had a look and there is no ruu for Vodafone, however, there is some earlier ota's. You could try downloading those and pull firmware.zip from them, then manually flash that, firmware zip contains things like stock recovery, radio, hboot, partition layouts etc, try and get one which matches the number on the guru reset file, ie search for 2.24.161.xx firmware, flash that first, you will then need to put a custom recovery back on to run the guru reset file, during the installation, select wipe data, install stock recovery and install stock radio, once it's all done and booted at least once, only then lock your bootloader and s-on, be careful when going back s-on though, it's been known for the tampered flag to return, personally I would send it back s-off, high chance they wouldn't even notice.
Just one question, why do you want to root ?, if your returning to stock for warranty then skip that part completely, you won't need root.
You may be able to pull firmware.zip from this ota http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/vodafone-ota-2-24-161-1-added/

Nah you don't, on the guru reset site, there is a bootloader reset tool which you just run from custom recovery.
It will allow you to lock, relock, unlock the bootloader whilst s-off and also remove the tampered flag

Thanks again, can you extract the firmware from this file for me ? I try to extract on a mac and it just zip's the file back up
http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/vodafone-ota-2-24-161-1-added/
Then again, Im thinking, is it necessary to downgrade the firmware to version 2.24.161.1, maybe downgrade to 4.06.1540.2 instead

I'm not near a computer at the moment so can't do that sorry, 161 is Vodafone, the other one you mentioned is 1540 developer edition, as you are s-off you can flash any ruu, but it might get questioned.

Have downloaded the following and it contains the firmware for 4-19-161-11
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ota_m7_...-63-161-6_release_356881mwn487m942rk64ep-zip/
The download for 2.24.161.1 on the site times out after download 142MB so think it is corrupt.
The plan is to flash the firmware from 4-19-161-11, then run the guru reset for 2.24.161.1 and take the OTA's to bring it up to whatever it should currently be ?
These phones were so easy to reset back in the Hero days

Yu can't do that, the 4xxxxx firmware will contain too high a hboot for the otas to work, although the guru reset file will install, the otas will lead to a bootloop due to you already having a higher hboot

Right, I need someone to fix that link then, have posted it in the collection thread, hopefully someone fixes it

Right so decided Im short on time so will run the following after changing the cid to HTC__001
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
This will downgrade the firmware and also flash the stock rom for htc europe.
Ill then need to change the recovery in order to run the following:

then reflash stock recovery and finally remove s-off

Sure is some **** in those download files. DONT DOWNLOAD ! ! !

hello
hi guys. i have a question.
do i need to flash a new rom after update the firmware on my htc one?
or can i just update the firmware and do nothing on the rom.

hboot-1.57 in one m7ul s-on
Can I download hboot-1.57 in one m7ul s-on
In less than 1.56 ... 1.55 ? ?
Τhanks .

which firmware do I start with
@vomer, I'm unlocked with custom recovery, rooted and have s-off, question, I'm on the firmware version my phone shipped with, 5.12.502.2......what do I flash here for latest firmware, do I do the 5.11.xxx (401 or 1540? - 1540 is the developer build no?, why is that the only developer one in that list, i don't do both the 401 and 1540 correct?) or do I skip 5.11 and go straight to the latest 6.0.xxx ? I ask because the 5.12 was released in August where as the 5.11 is listed as May or something.
Thanks and let me know, great guide!

latest firmwares
oh and @vomer, are you going to update this with the latest firmwares for m7_ul? I noticed there is now a 6.0.11 and 6.0.12 - i tried to flash them from android revolution but my device bricked / hung on boot, had to reset to stock with guru reset and flash original firmware...which ultimately means i wasted a bunch of time previously...later noticed that ARHD requires re-locked bootloader...maybe this is what bricked it?? Did you remove that requirement from the ones you posted and I just didn't know? or were those firmwares just not compatible with the stock rom based on 5.12 from att from before I changed my CID with your guide? I'm really not sure what happened but I had waited to flash a custom rom but couldn't once i tried to flash later than your 6.0.10 listed (and yes I had changed my CID via your guide and had used .401 builds - does that number even matter once you're super CID?
Thanks!

am i screwed?
Sup,
Been on the XDA forums for two days now (totally rad) trying to return my phone to stock and bootloader locked for warranty trying all sorts of methods and I think I am screwed but I would love anyone to clarify
status:
-nandroids, OTA and guru reset available but no RUU available (HTC one m7, Telstra, Australia)
-rom - guru reset android 4.2.2, hboot 1.57, latest twrp
-bootloader unlocked, phone rooted, s-on.
Problem:
Only way to s-off with hboot 1.57 is to use sunshine which won't work for me. I want to roll back to hboot 1.44 so I can achieve s-off by revone and lock the phone back up with flags removed. My understanding is that being there is no RUU using a nandroid to roll hboot back to 1.44 is my only choice and to do so I have to change the CID on my device to match the nandroid CID. Unfortunately you can't modify your phones CID if you don't have s-off so it's a bit of a catch 22.
Is this correct or am I screwed?

I haven't been able to connect to GPS satellites for quite sometime. Would flashing the latest radio fix this and do I need to be s-off to do so or can I just fire that baby up in twrp? I'm running the latest official dirty unicorns ROM. Also is the a link somewhere that I can find the latest radio that I could flash if it were this simple?? Thank you thank you.

[Q] Old hboot on Lollipop

Hi,
I have reinstall my m7 to old ROM with Android 4.1.1 and didn't do all stages OTA updates but recover backup with Lollipop. Everything is going fine but now I have hboot 1.5.4 instead 1.61. Could it cause any problem in the future? Should I install latest hboot? (where to find it?)
I have a stock rom htc one, wwe, s-off, rooted.

At this time i don't think so except if you try modding. But when htc rolls out the new sense update maybe you will have some troubles.

I wanna stay with a stock rom. But considering to keep system up to date. What is the solution then? Should I go to rom version down and upgrade to current android 5.02 and then recover backup? Or is there a place on the network where I can find the original stock hboot 1.61 and install it via fastboot? (I've tried, didn't found)

I'm not downgrading. As I said in my first post. After crashing my HTC I have installed all from the beginning, hboot 1.44, rom with android 4.1.1, etc... then I have made OTA update to 1 version up, and then I have restored whole system (Lollipop) from backup made by TWRP. So now I have now Lollipop with hboot 1.54 but I would prefer have the updated to 1.61.
I hope it's clear now
BTW, can anyone look at my bootloader screen and confirm that not only hboot is outdated? How about the radio, etc...?

HTC never updates hboot by itself.
If you don't have latest firmware, then you don't have latest hboot, radio, adsp, touch driver, WiFi driver, modem files, etc....
In other words, don't just update your hboot and expect to be fully up to date.
Update your full firmware.

And why not updating all the way up to lollipop? You will not be able to take ota updates with your phone in this state. Your firmware version and software version must match. Its not only the hboot version, like said above.
