Hi there,
I am using the Htc One M7 for At&t. I decided to root it and everything went good. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed a custom recovery and had the Xsense module installed and I loved it. I decided to try out cyanongen and if I didn't like it I would go back to stock. That doesn't quite work that way, needless to say. I ended up without a Rom and stuck on the bootloader. After countless hours of troubleshooting I found a stock htc rom and stock recovery, however now my problem is I can't seem to update my OS to the latest version, 4.4.3, which is what I had before all this. I've read it is because of the phone being unlocked. So I lock it and it boots to bootloader saying tampered relocked and Security Warning. I do more countless hours of research and find a few programs to make my phone S-off. Revone does not work. Firewater does not work and Rumrunner fails. I believe it is because the h boot is 1.57. My question now is do I just go sit in a corner and start crying or is their something im missing or not doing right? My phone is rooted, I just want to go back to stock.

Hey guys,
Playing around with this stuff today for the first time.
I unlocked the bootloader, got a custom ROM on there and everything, but now i can't seem to install any other ROMs without going to S-OFF which i don't feel confident in doing yet.
So i want to restore my phone back to the stock telstra ROM, but i'm having trouble doing it.
I relocked the bootloader and ran the RUU (RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Telstra_WWE_3.25.841.4_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_246698_signed)
But the RUU only allows me to update and if i choose that it just fails completely.
I'm worried i've gotten my phone stuck on this custom rom i don't want.
what do i do?
Hello all,
Firstly, I've got a (still unlocked) U.S. dev edition with S-On and Hboot 1.44.0000. I've been trying to install yesterday's OTA, but I can't seem to do it. The only changes I've made to my One since I got it were rooting it and installing TWRP in order to flash the MoDaCo toolkit. I understand that the stock recovery is needed to flash OTAs, and so I used fastboot to flash the stock recovery, but when I try to install the update, the progress bar in the recovery goes about 1/4 of the way and then it stops and displays the red triangle with exclamation mark. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, honestly.
I've seen varying advice aimed at other people also having difficulty suggesting I need to relock the bootloader (though as a dev edition, it was never locked, right?) or to get S-Off and then flash it somehow, so I'm not entirely sure what to do. I'd rather not resort to using a RUU as I will lose all of my data.
I didn't think a developer edition phone would be this difficult to deal with, as I've never had any problems flashing countless ROMs, kernels, etc with other android devices. I've never had an HTC phone though, so I've got no experience with S-On/Off, and to be honest I still don't understand what it is.
Anyway, how should I proceed? Thank you.

Thank you for that, but I mentioned that I didn't want to use RUUs. There has to be a way to do this without losing my data.
1) Put your phone in s-off now that you have the 1.44 hboot, trust me is better for you.
2) Maybe you have a custom kernel.
For install OTA you need stock rom, stock recovery and stock kernel.
3) Maybe more info can help us

I'm having the exact same issues. I'm on HBOOT 1.44, S-On (I'd love to get S-Off, but revone keeps giving me error code -1...), and previously got the OTA's to work by flashing stock recovery, running the OTA, then reflashing TWRP. This one doesn't seem to work that way, though. If you figure anything out, or find the right stock recovery, please do share!
Hello,
I seem to have gotten myself into a bind, and looking ahead to the 4.4 KitKat release, I am not sure how to get myself out of it. I've already done a lot of research and troubleshooting on my own, but can't seem to resolve the problem.
I purchased an HTC One Google Play edition, and decided to root to apply a quick fix with utilizing the Nexus 5 launcher. To that end, I unlocked my bootloader and rooted. I had a Windows 7 partition on my Mac at the time, but it was giving me trouble. Since the root, I became dissatisfied with the performance of the phone, and attempted to restore to factory.
I flashed stock recovery again, and relocked the bootloader. Now the bootloader shows as "relocked" and "tampered." However, in between root and unroot attempts, I upgraded my partition to Windows 8.1. Suddenly, when in fastboot, my HTC One shows up as "USB Device not Recognized," meaning I cannot issue any commands using ADB. If I don't get "waiting for device" I get "device offline," and my device is still rooted.
Whenever I uninstall Super SU, it's right back upon reboot.
I currently have S-ON. I am unable to get S-OFF because my computer doesn't recognize the phone when in fastboot. I tried updating and downloading different HTC Drivers to no avail.
I want to attempt to get my device back to its exact status when I bought the phone. Meaning, I want to have my bootloader as locked, keep S-ON (although I don't mind having S-OFF temporarily), and flash the stock RUU/Recovery. Upon Google Search, this seems easy, but there is not much out there for the GPE. A lot of the guides I have found are for Sense versions. My phone is not a GPE conversion. It is an actual GPE phone purchased on the Play Store.
Phone is functional, but I am concerned when 4.4 comes out, the update will fail or brick.
Sorry if this thread is long. I wanted to be as detailed as possible when asking for help. Thanks again to anyone on XDA who can assist.

try this http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windows-8-and-intel-usb-3-0-host-controllers
it worked for some users
Thanks. Will try when I get home. I was able to use my Win 7 computer at work to unlock the boot loader again, but I cannot get S Off. I ran rumrunner and it looked like it was working, but then said FATAL: download update. Is there no rumrunner for GPE?

Update: Your suggestion worked perfectly! I was able to unlock my bootloader again from my windows 8.1. I'm now trying to get S-OFF and flash the stock gpe RUU. To date, the RUU fails to install, and rumrunner gives me errors that ask me to run the program again. I feel I am still stuck as I want to eliminate root and make sure I can receive OTA. Is there anything else I can do? I'm still running stock 4.3 and stock recovery for the GPE.

Yeah I have stock rom and I removed TWRP and flashed stock recovery. Because I did two factory restores from bootloader, I'm assuming the stock recovery is working properly, but I'm a noob at this stuff so I could be wrong.
Going to relock the bootloader, remove SuperSU, and attempt the update when it hits. Hopefully it will work.
Thanks for your help! Since I'm a new member, how do I add to your thanks meter? Want to make sure you're properly....thanked.

you can still get OTA with a rooted phone, as long as you have stock recovery and flashed stock ruu.... tip if your having trouble with flashing ruu change the zip file name to something simple like ruu.zip worked for me.:good:

Can you tell me if your bootloader was 1.54 or 1.55? I have been unable to get Windows 8.1 to recognize the 1.54 bootloader. It always says "device not recognized" If yours was 1.54.0000 I will try this fix. Thanks.
I am 1.54.

Hi Guys,
Have spent the last couple of hours trying to lock my bootloader and get back to stock.
I followed instructions, locked the bootloader, went from S-Off to S-On and as I ran the RUU file, I realised it was the incorrect one.
My understanding is that now that I have locked the bootloader, if I try and boot the device, it would bric as it has the previous custom firmware still running?
I have found out that my HBOOT version is 1.29.401.13 and after doing some research, older threads suggest there is not an RUU file available for this. I am quite worried now as my phone is in recovery mode at the moment and the only way I can see (from a different thread from June 2013) is to unlock the bootloader again, install a different stock rom, lock it again and then finally use the 1.29.401.16 RUU file. This seems ridiculously long, however if needs to be done, I will do so.
I stumbled across a "Guru Reset M7 1.29.401.13" tool, however I am not fully clear about how this will work - if it is even used for the same purpose?
If anybody has information or advice on how I should proceed, it would be extremely appreciated as I have a beautiful piece of metal sitting here uselessly. -_-
Many thanks to all who reply!
Guru reset will work good
Unlock boot loader
Install custom recovery
Install guru reset Rom
from HTC One
I did search, but I didn't see anything exactly relevant and with S-Off I really want to be clear.
A year ago I did all the steps, unlocked for t-mobile, S-Off, CID 1111111, etc. Been using CM10 ROMs and loving it. Unfortunately the tinted camera was driving me crazy, so I asked HTC and out of warranty they said they'd fix it. (amazing company) I said screw it, I installed a sense looking rom but it was obviously still messed with if they cared. I don't think they cared, phone is fixed, but they did install the latest ATT 5.02 ROM.
I was incredibly surprised that I'm still unlocked, S-OFF, CID is still 11111111, HBOOT is 1.61.0000. Unfortunately my TWRP is gone, boots into Android recovery if I try.
So my question is can I just install the unlocked or tmobile ROMS from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html? I don't see why not, but I don't know what the factory reinstall could have done so I'm concerned.

Most likely they ran a RUU. All you need to do is flash custom recovey (TWRP recomended) download your prefered ROM.zip and flash away. Great thing is that your phone is s-off, don't even think about changing that
