RUU For 4M Radio - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys. Im looking to unroot yet another HTC One m7. AT&T continues to send me defective devices. This one is a 1.57 Hboot 4M.27.3218.15 radio. I cant find a RUU for this setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

radio version is irreverent when searching for a RUU. CID, MID and version-main are the information needed to find one. Best thing is to post your output of "fastboot getvar all' except your imei and serialno. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any AT&T ruu for version on hboot 1.57.
Latest RUU for AT&T (CID: CWS__001 MIDN0712000) is 4.18.502.7 and will require s-off because its a downgrade (hboot 1.56)

Cool. Never knew that. I will need to S off anyway since that's how to return to stock. I didn't know radio didn't matter. I can flash a 1.56 ruu with no problems?

If you have to send the phone for warranty I will even recommend you to use the 1.26.501.8 RUU (hboot 1.44) so you can remove the tampered flag from bootloader because it might come back if removed on hboot 1.55 and up.
Take a look at nkk71's guide linked in my signature.

I've done this a few times now so I'm no stranger to thing. Last two times I did the 1.56 update, plus I have those files downloaded already. They keep sending me refurbs and each one they send has build quality issues. Its unreal.

Well return it to stock so you can send it for warranty again and ask for an upgrade to another model. Explain that you are not satisfied with this model because you have experienced issues on each replacement units. Might worth a try...

Yeah that's the plan. I tried last time, but they swore they would send me a new. box phone this time. However, I ended up with a "like new" phone. This won't be happening again. Hoping for an M8

I have S-off how do I downgrade with an RUU?

I'm running converted GE with 1.54 Google Hboot on my AT&T M7 (S-Off)
in order to go back to stock with the RUU I have to first load the 2.17 firmware Vomer provided in his thread.
If I don't do that I get error 155 when using the RUU.
I lock my bootloader before running it.
What am I missing. I thought S-off and SuperCID bypassed the checks and RUU's just worked.
Thanks for any advice.
Why are you locking your bootloader? You don't need to do that with s-off, I thought.
I wonder if there is some sort of check in the GE bootloader that isn't s-on/s-off dependent.

I found RUU failed with it unlocked.
I'm very confused at this point and just wonder if HTC changed things up on us.

Well, the new 1.54 hboot thwarts the s-off exploit, as you know. It could be HTC introduced some elements with it that restore some type of security checks. It might explain the weird things going on in the s-off threads.
I know there are some substantial differences between the 2.17 hboot and 2.24 hboot even though the version number is the same.

SO maybe it isn't me.
Good to know.
Should I be able to just flash a 1.44 HBoot to get around this? Because either the one I have is corrupt, or it doesn't work thanks to the new 1.54 HBoot.
Lucky for me, the 2.17 firmwre.zip installs and things work after that.

You might try sticking with the 2.17 hboot and see if that helps.

Must be the GE hboot or perhaps hboot 1.54 from 2.24 in general. I had a AT&T device with the new firmware and hboot 1.54 (from 2.17) I was able to run the RUU with s-off and bootloader still unlocked.
My fear is an ota for the ge would break the ability to downgrade hboot. The 2.17 works because it is the same 1.54
Okay I'm not sure about GE but when I had 2.24 and HBOOT 1.54.0000 I just ran the 1.28.401.7 RUU and it all went fine. I'm S-OFF of course.

I've calmed my own fears I was able to flash sneakyghost's provided 1.44Hboot. I'm safe.

Coming from full GE experience (1.54 hboot, GE recovery and ROM), I had to flash just the 1.44 hboot and relock my bootloader before the Dev RUU worked for me.

So clearly HTC changed something about what S-off means and what you can and can't do with it.

[Q] RUU to downgrade 4.2.2 to 4.1.2?

Alright, so my friend has an AT&T One and it had 1.26.502.10 firmware (like mine), but he had some camera issues... He decided to do all the modding (root, s-off, etc...) and upgraded to 4.2.2 firmware 2.24. His camera issues continue, and he plans on returning to 4.1.2 with the available RUU that returns the phone to 1.26.502.12. He is s-off, supercid, unlocked bootloader, rooted, running twrp 2.6.0.1 and is on stock rooted 2.24.401.1 Rom. I thought of just using that RUU to return him to fully stock, but since it has all the mods I'm not really sure if I should take another approach or other steps. Please help me out here, I don't wanna brick his phone (even though he's taking it to be replaced). Thanks in advanced!
just download this and run it
https://support.htc.com/en-us/010-H..._Maintenance_Release_Instructions_|_5.30.2013
he couldnt run this with out the mods
Just run the RUU, as he's S-OFF there should be no issues

There's the odd thread here and there saying if you're on the 1.54 HBOOT you need to downgrade to 1.44 before the RUU will work but try it first and see how you get on

Hmm, will I get a kind of error during the RUU process that might possibly brick the device or will it warn me before the RUU process starts? Can I and should I just flash the 1.44 RUU from fastboot before starting the RUU? The phone's on 2.24 right now with the modded 1.54 hboot (I know he first has to flash the original, but can/should he flash the 1.44 instead?).
EDIT: As far as I've read till now, the ones having errors were converted to Google Edition with GE hboot and all... I did read about 2 people (one with 2.17 and the other with 2.24 like my friend's phone) both on 1.54 hboot and it worked for both of em. I'm just gonna go ahead and flash the RUU on my friend's phone and hope for the best

RUU

Hi guys, i just want to be on the safe side before doing anything like S-off, so i wonder how do i find which RUU is made for my phone model ? i have tried searching but didn't get anywhere.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
No offense but you didn't look very hard. Its in a sticky in the dev thread
Once you s-off (which is ridiculously easy for this device) you can use any RUU. Good luck and enjoy

You haven't said what OS you're on or what Hboot you have, S-Off might not even be an option, nor might an RUU if you are on a 2.24 base with Hboot 1.54 ... A little more info would help to make sure you are given the best, most accurate advice.

I haven't updated my phone to this new Hboot 1.54, i am still on with the old one, i have read not to update if i want S-Off. The reason i want this is because if suddenly i had to return my phone to a service or something, i don't want to void my warranty. If i am not wrong when you S-Off, you can reverse it also.

Cool, yes, you are correct, S-Off can be reverted ... It's also worth noting that if you S-Off now, you'd be able to upgrade to Hboot 1.54 and still maintain S-Off. The problem lies with those, like me, who are on the 1.54 Hboot but haven't gone S-Off ... We're now stuck until a solution is available, although I didn't want to go S-Off so it's not really a problem.
If you go S-Off btw you can flash any RUU from any region and change your Cid/Mid, although I can't help you on the whole RUU when S-Off process as I've never run one, nor been S-Off as I previously mentioned lol.
I still can't find which RUU is for my phone, is there anyway to find ? is it via CID or any other way ?
What software build are you on at the moment? So to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the version, e.g. 2.24.401.8

The 1.29.401.16 ZIP is the RUU but in ZIP format so it's the same thing. Basically in the RUU.exe there is a ZIP called ROM.zip - this is what is the actual ROM and is flashed via the RUU in fastboot mdoe. It's fine and it's the one you want as there is nothing else available for your phone

Well, i am thinking of a scenario which i don't know is possible or not, so here it goes. Since i want to be on the safe side, how about i take a nandorid back of the stock, and than if i wanted to returen to stock, simply flash an RUU like 1.29.401.16, and than simply recover the nandroid backup over it, and update if i wanted to ? Is it possible ?
The only problem is that i don't know how to remove the custom recovery when it restore the nandorid back, and update it.

[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

[Q] Restore to Stock - S-ON

Hey all,
I'm trying to get my phone back to my carrier's stock but I'm running into some issues.
I can't use a RUU because I have one of the "Whelp" non-s-off phones. Most guides on here as well require you to have s-off to do.
Any idea's on how to bring a S-ON'd phone back to stock?
