was the device converted to GPE at any point when it was s-off. Or is it GPE originally?
Have you tried
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Also the output from
Code:
fastboot getvar all
would be helpful, please edit out your serial and imei before posting :good:

Ok I notice you have a very new radio compared to you hboot version. This unlocking problem normally happens when an s-off device is set back to s-on while something is still customized in the firmware. Could be anything even as little as a custom boot splash. Normally happens after botched gpe conversion. That's why I asked about that
What reason did you go back to s-on. Is it possible you had custom firmware at the time?
I only know of one case where the bootloader was ever unlocked again and they had to use Sunshine app. Which unlocked the bootloader and returned s-off. Obviously this is a good option If the phone is booting.
Although normally the device has been on the latest firmware with no ruu available. Not the case for your device, you could try flashing the 3.62.401.1.zip firmware from here.
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/401/ with below instructions.
Rename the 3.62.401.1.zip to firmware.zip and put it in your fastboot folder.
Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot oem lock
you can skip this if already locked
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
< --- case sensitive.
The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Make sure fastboot usb is connected and run the ruu.exe on your pc
http://www.htc1guru.com/2014/03/android-ruu-europe/ This will return you to complete stock 4.19.401.9. After which you should get a new unlock code from HTC dev and try unlock again.
Good luck :good:

First of all thanks...
P.S the bootloader is locked and I cant flash the RUU...
neither do I have a custom recovery and root...so i cant install a guru reset...
the phone is booting and working fine but no root...
if I get root by towelroot I could use flashify to flash recovery without unlocking the bootloader and then restore it to stock...but the problem is that tr is not working...tried all versions...it worked before...
I did it s-ON to return it to stock so I could sale it...I was using viperone with elemental X kernel...I foolishly cleared everything also the system and... didnt notice...after that I flashed the stock recovery and gave the command for s-ON and then locked the bootloader...but the phone didnt boot...I didint knew what happened so I sent it for repair in a local shop...I dont know what they did but when I got it back it was LOCKED not RELOCKED....I dont what RUU did they flash because whenever I insert a sim card it says network locked...it happens with every sim card and whatever code I insert it says succesfully unlocked from network and rebooting...but still remains network locked...I was trying to unlock bootloader to flash the correct RUU to get the phone back in order but to no avail...now I've checked every local shop but they're out of options....so XDA is my only hope now....

If the phone is s-on the bootloader must be LOCKED or RELOCKED to run an ruu or flash firmware
you can only flash Unlocked while s-off. So it should work. If it fails post the error :good:
I've edited my previous post to include instructions for flashing

[Q] Cannot RELOCK an UNLOCKED bootloader

Hi all, my HTC One is currently running on unlocked bootloader with s-on, and on hboot 1.44.
I believe my phone is stuck on unlocked bootloader. My phone runs perfectly with no hiccups when my bootloader is unlocked, but when I try to use adb to relock my bootloader, while it does relock my bootloader successfully, I'm unable to boot into the rom, the phone just switches on into the bootloader everytime i reboot, and a "Security Warning" pops up below the "TAMPERED" and "RELOCKED" text.
I'm relocking my bootloader so that the RUU will work as I'm constantly getting error code 155 in the RUU when I try to flash back to stock. I've also tried to S-OFF my device but it kept giving me error 6 despite the fact that I was able to get on S-OFF before.
Note: I think I've done something wrong previously that got me into this situation. When I was trying to get my phone back to stock through RUU at first, I had S-OFF initially, and I followed this guide (http://androidforums.com/internatio...-return-100-stock-revone-moonshine-s-off.html) but I forgot to flash the RUU first before I used the "writesecureflag 3" command to lock my bootloader and revert back to S-ON.
Is there a way I could revert back and get my bootloader relocked with no problems? I've done a backup before I messed up my RUU, but due to the fact that I was stuck on the bootloader screen after locking my bootloader, I had to unlock my bootloader again which wiped my whole SD card including my backup...

my meid is also all 0s so that is fine.
your firmware is version 2.24.707.1, has this been upgraded since you tried revone the first time? That could be why you are getting an error code with revone now, did you have 1.29.707.16 originally?
if you unlock your bootloader again you flash a custom recovery then install the stock rom for your carrier from your recovery. This will put your phone on a stock rom then you can re-lock again after that with fastboot oem lock.
you can gain Locked instead of Relocked using revone if you can get it to work again, which may require downgraded firmware version.
or I would run a .ruu for your device, though these could be dangerous especially if you are s-on. Also attempting to downgrade with RUU would cause a brick pretty sure.
Your phone will always bootloop when you lock the boot loader with a custom recovery installed. This is normal.
Edit:
I suppose I should offer some help also. Going to S-on was a mistake. You need to unlock the boot loader and flash a stock rom, then try to regain S-off. If you can achieve it, relock the boot loader and run the RUU. Then use Revone to set the ****Tampered**** flag to off and lock the boot loader. And if you do achieve S-off again, do NOT S-on. It is not necessary.

Wow thanks! I managed to lock my bootloader finally after finding and flashing a 1.29.707.3 stock rom, but my touchscreen is not responding now, which I guess is most probably an issue with the firmware? And I presume it's safer to use RUU over S-OFF? I want to try revone and S-OFF again but i cant grant adb shell superuser since i cant get my touchscreen to respond.. Oh god, endless ordeals lol...
EDIT: I'm on 1.29.707.3 currently and I have the 1.29.707.3 RUU, is it possible to flash the RUU? I'm hoping to get the RUU to run so that I can solve the touchscreen issue and possibly achieve S-OFF afterwards.
EDIT2: I went ahead with running RUU after finally being able to relock my bootloader but now I'm faced with RUU error 140

You are right, the touchscreen won't work because the drivers were updated in the firmware, but you can use an OTG cable with a mouse instead.
Anyway, first thing I would try to do is achieve s-off again (make sure you have hboot 1.44 dated before June 2013), and as Corry said, do not go back to s-on. adb should still work fine from your computer even without touchscreen, so you should be able to do it. In case your ROM is not "allowing" you proper use of adb or revone, then you can try the one I posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471174

Even with ARHD 9.4 the touchscreen is still not responding, I think I need to reflash my firmware, is it possible to flash a firmware without updating hboot on S-ON?

Just use the ROM to get S-Off, without touchscreen, just boot up the rom, and use adb from your PC.
Not possible to change firmware with S-On.

I couldnt get past my lockscreen to grant su access to adb shell without the touchscreen, but I just picked an OTG cable so I'm fine now.
Problem is, even on ARHD 9.4 I'm still getting error code -6 on revone... Bummer, I shouldn't have returned my phone back to S-ON.
EDIT: My hboot is dated 4/5/13, so it shouldnt be the patched 1.44 hboot. I'm gonna try S-OFF on the stock 1.29.707.3 instead, will post my results asap

What's the date of your bootloader? If it's before June 2013 (and is version 1.44), you should be able to get it to work.

Nope it still didn't work, but i guess i resolved my main issue with not being able to relock my bootloader.
I'm gonna redirect my issues on the revone thread instead so yea, gave you a thanks for your help nonetheless!

And one for you
Let me know if I can help out anyway.
If bootloader is May 2013 it shouldnt be the patched version. But it seems that there revone, not only has issues with ROMs, but also firmware. One last thing to try though: I saw one person was able to achieve S-Off using a GPe 4.2.2 ROM, (s)he didn't specify which but it worked. Since you're on the updated firmware, try getting your hands on a 4.2.2 GPe ROM and try.
I know it's all time consuming, but you never know :fingers-crossed:
Good luck

[Q] HTC One relocked after firmware updated now soft-bricked and unable to unlock!

Help!
I recently installed the 4.06.1540.3.zip firmware onto my HTC One in preparation to install Android Revolution HD 41. After installing the firmware, I have been unable to unlock the relocked bootloader. I am able to send commands via fastboot and can successfully send the unlock code but nothing shows up on the phone. I currently have no working OS on the phone and only have stock recovery, it seems, and obviously can't send over a custom recovery until I'm unlocked which I can't do =(.
Please help, I have no phone!

Mike's directions for updating firmware required a re lock.
How to flash?
(bootloader needs to be relocked)
Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

Yes, and I've received one (and then kept trying and got about 30 more). I can flash it just fine but the screen on my phone never pops up to accept the unlock. This is my issue. There is no error message on the flash. It just doesn't show up and I can't accept the unlock.

S-On, right? :crying:
1- was that a signed firmware package
2- did the update go all the way (ie you flashed it twice in a row, first one came back with "flush again immediately" and you did)
3- you confirmed everything was updated by checking your "fastboot getvar all"
4- bootloader also shows the correct firmware
if yes to above, try a factory reset in bootloader and/or stock recovery, then try a new unlock token, and hope it works.

Yes, S-ON since getting S-OFF on hboot 1.5 is a pain.
I'm almost certain it was a signed firmware otherwise it wouldn't have even be able to have been flashed.
The firmware update was successful, after flashing twice. I can successfully flash that firmware and ..1540.2

I just don't understand why I can't get the popup on my phone. That's what I get for trying to do it the right way, I guess =(.
I'd like to at least get stock back on the phone so I can have a working phone but I can't find an RUU that will work, my firmware is too new for any that I've found. =(
Should have done s-off. No point in modding without it.

I had the same issue with my first HTC One, it was a tmobile version. I ended up having to RUU whick alligned the firmware, hboot, rom, and recovery to the same versions. Boot and go through the setup. shut down. reboot. shutdown. boot into fastboot. create a new user with HTC, submit your token. Reboot your PC. Send the bin file to the device. unlock. powerdown. flash recovery. powerdown. enter recovery. powerdown and accept the install of SU. boot into the stock ROM. powerdown. You should be set to go.

At the time I modded there was no solution for S-OFF for 1.5+.
As for now, the only thing I seem to be able to successfully flash via RUU are the two 4.06 firmwares from @mike1986. Unfortunately, it's just firmware and not a full RUU so I can't boot into anything but the bootloader. Any hints on where I can find a stock rom that it will let me install via fastboot since I don't have a custom recovery?

Your CID is still CWS__001.
Get the AT&T RUU from HTC and run it. Then start the bootloader unlock process all over.
Once you've got a working phone, then attempt to s-off using rumrunner with a live CD/USB of a Linux distribution.

I really appreciate all the help, but there either is no AT&T RUU that will run with the firmware on my phone (afaik you can't go backward when you're S-ON), or it's not where I'm able to find it on the internet. I've looked here and htc1guru.com.

That might be the case then...
I ran this RUU:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
I used it go return to stock for a warranty exchange and had the 3.62.401.1 firmware at the time, but I was s-off.
Hopefully someone knows a way to get a ROM back on the phone so that you can get the bootloader unlocked.

[Q] Having Trouble Going Back to Stock

I have been at this for a couple of days, and have had no luck. So here I am posting for help.
I need to revert a HTC One m7 Sprint to stock for my cousin who bought the phone rooted on swappa. She wants it stock so she can get OTA updates. By stock I mean no tampered flag, no unlocked flag and OTA updates, stock rom and recovery. And I'm having trouble doing so, I have no experience with anything other than Nexus devices.
Current status:
1) Flashed this (Sprint-ONE-3.04.651.2-De-Odex.zip) to the phone using CWM
2) Relocked bootloader (I relocked bootloader so I can use official ROM update utility tool to install (Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_3_04_651_2_RUU)) on phone.
3) Phone won't boot into ROM (can't get past bootloader)
4) Now phone won't even boot into recovery
>>>fastboot oem boot
...

(bootloader) Boot/Recovery signature checking...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_HASH ret = 0

I'm guessing that because S=ON it's checking signature of recovery and failing because recovery isn't stock. If this was a nexus I could just flash the official recovery.img but alas it's not, so I don't know where to turn.
Please tell me how to best proceed.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Please edit out serial + imei before posting thanks.
You will need s-off to go back to stock 100% with LOCKED bootloader, but if you just want ota's that's possible with s-on you just need Stock recovery and Rom. But best you'll get the bootloader is RELOCKED with s-on.
Also it won't boot custom software when relocked. That's why your recovery and Rom won't boot

Unlock your bootloader, and use CWM to install this Rom. In Aroma installer choose YES to Stock Recovery and Radio. NO to Root.
Reboot the phone to take ota's after you've updated relock the bootloader .
I notice the version main is missing from your getvar also. Installing the ota's may fix it but I should be able to help you with that before you do anything else. It will require the bootloader to be relocked so better to do it now if you want to.
---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------
Actually it would be better to unlock, flash the Rom first then relock and flash the firmware to restore the version main.
Then reboot and your done
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/651/
You can get the firmware here. Download it and rename the file to firmware.zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Then after unlocking and flashing the reset.zip. relock and flash the firmware.
Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
< --- case sensitive.
The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You should now see your new firmware version main in the bootloader and getvar. And that's it reboot and take ota's.

The reset zip will restore your stock Rom and recovery and Radio. But you have to Install it with a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. Which requires the bootloader to be unlocked. Once it's installed you can take ota updates. The bootloader does not need to be locked for ota's.
Then you can relock and flash the firmware.zip which will restore your version main information. Which is missing. Caused by a recovery bug that wipes that info from the misc partition. Installing the ota updates may fix it. Or you can manually flash the firmware to fix it before you take the ota updates. :good:

Oh sorry when you said reset.zip I thought it was something totally new but you were referring to "Guru_Reset_M7_Sprint_3.04.651.2.zip". My bad.
So I followed the steps above including flashing firmware.zip. Now fastboot getvar all shows main having a version. Currently apps are being downloaded, and I will try to install the ota update after they are all done. And there is stock recovery, I confirmed by launching into recovery from fastboot after flashing "Guru_Reset_M7_Sprint_3.04.651.2.zip" in CWM, and the orange triangle with exclamation point showed up.
Thank you for helping me out!
Also one last thing, to clean everything up, how do I reset the tampered flag? And so it shows locked instead of relocked?
EDIT: First OTA was successful!

You will have to downgrade the phone again yes. And s-off is not so easy to accomplish. Unless you pay $25 for Sunshine app.
If you wanted to return it for warranty or sell the device as un-tampered stock. You can use firewater for or rumrunner to s-off both methods are free exploits but are not so simple to get them to work you will need to unlock flash a custom recovery make a nandroid of the stock rom, then root the device again. Probably need to flash a few different roms + Kernels to find something that works.
There's the possibility that neither will work and your only choice then would be Sunshine.
If there's no warranty and your friend just wants stock with ota updates I would just leave it as relocked unless your prepared to put the work in

I'm thinking I should try and take it back to stock, but I don't know where I should go from here and I'm worried I might screw it up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!
Go to RUU mode and flash an RUU. There's a lot of threads explaining how to go to back to stock on this forum. If it still doesn't work, it might be an internal issue like the motherboard.
Can someone please recommend an RUU to go to... I'm just worried if I use the wrong one it will cause more issues. I thought RUUs were dependent on the CID num and as that's been changed to allow custom roms... I'd be happy taking it back to a plain old vanilla HTC / Google - just something to get it back alive.
Thanks
Should also add I can't get s-off... adb devices doesn't show anything... I'm guessing usb debugging wasn't set up

There is no ruu we can recommend because your version-main is blank the fact that you also have superCID doesn't help identifying which ruu you'll need to use.

You'll have to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (twrp preferred), flash a rom and use your phone like that or, if you want, from there you will be able to achieve s-off again and convert your phone to wherever you want (Stock Sense or stock GPE) by flashing a RUU.

There is no ruu we can recommend because your version-main is blank the fact that you also have superCID doesn't help identifying which ruu you'll need to use.

Thanks so much for this... I've been learning more all day (traditionally an iOS guy)...
Am I right in thinking I would need to sideload a custom rom through twrp and then install it? If so, I'm having an issue getting my laptop to talk to the phone - "adb devices" is pretty flakey to say the least, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't... I've read various things about Windows 8 and that adb works best on Windows 7, can you please confirm I'm on the right track here. I'd like to put the Viper rom on it.
Thanks again
In order to flash custom recovery you need to be booted to bootloader menu, and use fastboot commands. If you flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 or later, there's no need to sideload a ROM because newer TWRP recoveries have MTP option, so you use that. Try to go to bootloader, connect your phone to your laptop or PC, and issue a command fastboot devices. If it shows your phone, you're good to go
Thanks donkeyking1...
I got it working eventually, I needed to install new drivers for Windows 8 then adb started behaving properly. I ended up pushing the Viper ROM to the phone... The phone's alive now but currently it has no IMEI, baseband or OS - they're all blank. I'm wondering if it's because I've installed Viper 9 without upgrading the firmware first? My next goals are to try and S-OFF the device so I can install a stock rom, at which point hopefully I'll get OTA updates and then go back to Viper 9 - it looks great, I just can't use it! - no phone signal!
Does that sound like the right approach? I'm trying to flash different custom roms to hopefully find one that works with rumrunner. I've read that some folks have managed to S-OFF on hboot 1.57 with rumrunner, but it's picky on the rom that's installed. It doesn't work on Viper 9...
If anyone can add any help it would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

flash the 7.19.401.2 firmware and then the 7.19.401.2 RUU. If you still have imei problem after that, its most likely an hardware defect.
relock your bootloader if not already locked or re-locked:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Code:
fastboot orm rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
fastbppt flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip
fastboot reboot
*** use htc_fastboot.exe for flashing the ruu (linked below). Save all files in the same folder where you already have fastboot.exe and adb.exe on your computer.
M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip
htc_fastboot.exe
Alray, just curious (still learning ), how do you know from the info I've given you that the firmware / RUU you've suggested is one to fix the issues - I've struggled to understand this the past few days - thanks!

To flash a ruu on a s-on phone there are many prerequisites:
The RUU must match your MID: 7.19.401.2 is for PN0710000
The RUU must match your CID: You have superCID so its not a problem.
The RUU must be the same version or an upgrade from your actual version, we don't know your actual version because of your blank versio-main but you have 1.57 hboot which suggest a 6.xx.xxx.x version. So 7.19.401.2 should be an upgrade.
The bootloader must be locked or re-locked.
There is no risk trying it, the worst that can happen is that the phone won't accept the ruu and nothing will be flashed.

Super CID + your MID. WWE firmware should work just fine. Right @alray?

Well, thanks so much for your help guys, but alas it seems the phone is k-put... Flashed the firmware and the rom no problem.... but it still shows no IMEI / IMEI SV / IMSI and it can't recognise the phone number - I'm guessing it can't read the sim. It does show the OS and IMEI in the bootloader, but once booted it's a no go.

Try to bend your sim tray just a little bit. Maybe your sim card is not reaching the contacts inside the phone. Or put a piece of paper under the sim and see what happens
Thanks donkeykong1, I've tried but it's not working... The fact the IMEI / IMEI SV and baseband are unknown though... they're not sim related...
It does show the baseband and IMEI in fastboot getvar all though?...
There were a lot of people with that same issue, and their phones worked fine, so I doubt it has anything to do with your sim. Your sim works in another phone?
Yeah, the sim's fine. @alray said it's likely a hardware issue if the firmware / rom didn't repair the IMEI issue, and the other threads I've looked at with the same issue are all saying the motherboard's faulty.
Although I am baffled as to why it is showing the IMEI / baseband in the bootloader, in fastboot etc. but not once the phone has booted up?...
I read on another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253514) that maybe flashing a kernal and/or radio might solve it?
Just wondering whether I should try flashing an official HTC rom? I've been in touch with the guy I got it off and he said it was originally on Orange, UK:
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads > One M7 / v5.0.2 > Find Files : Page 6
One M7 / Orange / UK / CRC / 3.4.10 / v5.0.2 / 539.0 MB / 7.19.61.10
Was also thinking of...
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads > One M7 / v5.0.2 > Find Files : Page 1
One M7 / HTC / EU / MR 3 / 3.4.10 / v5.0.2 / 486.0 MB / 7.19.401.22
If I did that would I need to update the firmware first like you advised originally @alray?
If I know I can revive the IMEI etc. I'll be happy to go ahead and pay to S-OFF
Thanks in advance
You need a kernel to match your firmware. If you're on 7.19.401.2, then you need 7.19.401.2 kernel. I can give you boot.img, but I don't have the whole zip, with modules. Then again, if your phone boots fine, maybe boot.img will help. I'd [email protected] to confirm my thoughts though. He's much more into this than I am
