Bootloader error - cannot RUU or anything

Successfully gained S-Off and Unlock via Revone. Needed to revert to return phone. Successfully locked and gained S-On, although "tampered" appeared on the b/l screen...
Problem now is WiFi no longer works. I cannot flash a complete ROM via RUU, it fails at updating signature. I cannot flash an OTA zip for the same reason. I cannot enter recovery - all I get is the red triangle.
I cannot regain S-Off, or Unlock (via Revone). Error 2.
I've tried firmware.zip - many parts fail. Although my ROM version is now dated April 12th not May 3rd.
Other than WiFi and tampered, the phone works.
I'm stuck!

You should have done s on only when everything else is stock, your lucky your phone even turns on.
I would try to re unlock it, flash a custom recovery and flash a rom get it working again. Then s off and try the whole going stock procedure again.

It won't unlock from Revone

Unlock by flashing the unlock token from htc dev

Done that. However, if the bootloader's knackered, or partly so, a Custom ROM won't flash a new bootloader. Not sure why I need the interim step. My idea was to S-off now unlocked a try RUU again

Is it possible to go back to Stock - Completely - To sell the phone?

I have a Mint Condition HTC One phone I am trying to sell - Mostly just because I also own a Nexus 4 and love it - and decided I'd rather keep it and use the money on the HTC One on something else.
I'm having a hard time selling it because the "everything is unlocked" is making people scared to buy it.
It's S-OFF, SuperCID, TWRP 2.6.0.1, Bootloader Unlocked, Running 2.24 Firmware and Android Revolution 12.1, Sim Unlocked too.
It's originally a Rogers Canada HTC One
Is there any way (or guide) to completely make it stock again to help sell it? Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, just flash the Rogers RUU (if available) and then you're good to go! If there isn't one then use one of the Nandroids provided and then get the stock recovery and relock the bootloader

don't forget to go back to S-ON after flashing the RUU

Hmm... never flashed a RUU before. Will need to do some reading.
Anyone know where to find a Rogers RUU?
I don't care if its Rogers specifically - it can be Telus or Bell too as long as it works.
I just want to go back to Stock so it's capable of updating OTA somehow if possible.

just download the RUU (sorry, don't know if there is one for your carrier), be sure to be s-off, and then run the RUU.exe or flash the RUU.zip.
the RUU will flash stock recovery, stock rom and i think it will even relock your bootloader. and then you'll be able to download OTA-updates again.
last step is to put it back to s-on and you should be done..

Ruu for bell. Rogers, telus is not available yet, your best bet is to flash the stock wwe Ruu. Remember to flash the stock hboot if you are using a modified hboot for the red lines or you would brick your device

Thanks
I'm S-OFF using the Revone Method
I'm on firmware 2.24 and HBoot 1.54 (Still S-Off though)
If anyone has time, can somebody give me a real quick overview on what I need to do? I'll buy ya a beer!
I'm not real familiar with HTC Devices - This was my first experience and to be honest, Right now I'm wishing I didn't do this if I knew before hand I was going to flip it so fast.

Ok no problem
First download the RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
and run the .exe.
then you'll have stock hboot and stock recovery + stock rom.
After this you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to get back to s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Be sure you never installed a custom hboot before and you are using a official hboot. Better check twice if the red warning text is there before you go s-on
And that's it
No beer needed, "thanks-button" is enough

You cant run the RUU with Super CID. You will have to change it to one that matches the RUU you choose before running it, but keep s-off. Then you should be able to use the tool as mentioned above or do all the things manually. You can use my guide if you like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497

Thanks for the help.
Which specific RUU should I flash? I don't see a Generic WWE One in that thread - just a couple of WWE ones for Developer Editions. Should I use an AT&T one? I can change the CID back to whatever is needed.
Am I able to do this somehow with the Nandroid backup for Rogers in that thread?
Also - What do you mean by "check for the red lines" exactly? I am on HBoot 1.54, Is there a easy way of going back to 1.44?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm kinda annoyed there isn't a Rogers RUU available. Last thing I need is a bricked phone - I'm only selling it as I honestly I shouldn't have bought it to begin with (Financially)

Where are you going to try and sell it? If to another user in Canada with one of those carriers, then they wouldn't to buy the unit with a AT&T image on it, I would think.
However running the ATT one would be a very easy way to reset everything including the hboot (no worry about red lines if run the RUU). Then you could sell to a US buyer who is going to use ATT (Tmobile also has a RUU). My guide for reseting to ATT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497
There are some threads around here where users are resetting Rodgers back to stock but it is much harder without a RUU and I am not sure of your comfort level.
To use one of the Rodgers Nandroids to do a complete reset to stock I would:
Change the CID to CWS__001 and run the ATT RUU to reset all your firmware, hboot etc, back to stock. You will still have unlocked bootloader and s-off, so you can then change back to your stock CID and then use the fastboot command to boot (but not install) a custom recovery in order to restore the Rodgers Nandroid and then just relock and s-on. Should be 100% Rodgers stock.
Code:
fastboot boot yourcustomrecovery.img
You can only use this method to boot a recovery without installing it, if on hboot 1.44, so that is why I recommend using the RUU to downgrade all that stuff for you.
Let me know if you need more help. I'd be happy to guide you.

you could take the latest open europe RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7), or take an AT&T one.. don't really know which one would be better for your situation you'll know it better

this is also an option. you can flash this nandroid backup through cwm recovery. but then you'd have to manually install stock recovery and lock the bootloader/go back to s-on. why not :good:

you can stay on 1.54 if everything works fine after flashing the older firmware. the "warning text" is related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
but if you've never installed a custom HBoot you don't have to worry about this when going back to s-on. just check once if the red warning text in the bootscreen is there.

Hey, I'm trying to do the same thing as OP, and this thread has been the closest thing to my issue. I'm trying to return everything on my phone to stock, however my Canadian carrier is Bell. Currently my HTC One has the bootloader unlocked, is rooted, TWRP recovery, and TrickDroid installed.
If I understand your instructions correctly, what I should do (given I want to restore using a nandroid backup) is:
1) S-Off my phone
2) Change the CID to CWS___001 and run the ATT RUU
3) Change the CID back to my original (BM_001 is what I think it is, do you know how I can make sure? What command to run for ADB?)
4) The Nandroid backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874&highlight=bell+update for my phone is for CWM (it's this one: M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID BM___001 / 1.29.666.5), does that mean I have to change my recovery from TWRP to CWM at this point?
5) Use fastboot to boot the recovery --> two questions regarding this, 1) why would I not install the .zip I downloaded from step 4? 2) where do I get the recovery.img? Just the one that is in the zip? In which case, shouldn't I also has to boot the boot.img or anything else?
6) I also want to upgrade the radio, should that be done last?
Thanks for all your help!
Lastly, I'm looking for a ROM to flash afterwards, I was wondering if you had any suggestions/know of a ROM that can allow me to use the swipe2sleep features, as well as hold the back touch button to force kill an app.

Just sell it on swappa. They love rooted unlocked modded phones.

[Q] [Q} Returning to stock on 2.24.401,1

Hi, have been reading up as much as possible, but am after confirmation before I start trying to return to stock.
Basically, I have an unlocked HTC__001 HTC One, s-on ,with an unlocked bootloader which was unlocked via HTCDev.
It was unlocked after being updated to 2.24.401.1, so I have bootloader 1.54, and an active "tampered" flag.
So, i've been playing with a GE rom for a bit but have decided I would like to get my device back to stock. I am under the impression that I could use my custom recovery to flash a stock odexed ROM suitable for my CID from here, then flash the correct radio, then re-flash the correct stock recovery, then re-lock the bootloader and be back to stock. My questions are these:
a) Am I right?
b) If I am right, will I still have the "tampered" flag set in the bootloader? I'm assuming I would.
c) If the flag is still set, will it affect any future OTA updates I may receive?
d) Does anyone know of a method other than this which will get me back to stock?
I have noted that the RUU for my device does not seem to be availabe to download as of yet, only the previous version is available which has the 1.44 bootloader, obviously, if I try to flash that, it will complain about the bootloader version being lower ect. So I don't think that is an option.
Any help would be appreciated, Cheers.

Thanks, but I have read that thread, it doesn't really apply to my situation. That thread is for S-off devices, mine is S-on. And also, it requires running an RUU which for me isn't available. The trouble (i believe) is that when S-on, I cannot run an older RUU than my current device is at. Hence my asking here.

Run a stock ROM like found in mike1986's thread, install the stock recovery and relock your bootloader ... That's all you can do at the moment because you can't go S-Off on Hboot 1.54 so the tampered flag will have to stay until you can.
Read through this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 .. there's everything there that you need to return to stock and receive OTA updates while being S-On. The only time you'll have an issue is if you can't go S-Off to remove the tampered flag and change it from relocked to locked, only an issue if you need to return it under warranty for anything that's happened as a result of you unlocking the bootloader and flashing stuff.

Yeah! That's pretty much what I thought.
Will the tamper flag give me issues do you think?

According to the guy I spoke to at HTC when I sent mine back the other day, it shouldn't. He said they should only refuse to cover repair under warranty if the fault is caused by something you've done, i.e, flashing stuff or deliberate damge or something. Unfortunately that's the risk you take if you need to return it, unless there's a method to change the flag by being S-Off you just have to either not risk it and wait until you can go S-Off and be sure to remove all traces of messing, or you return it and hope for the best lol

Well, I don't need to get it fixed or anything. Just had me play and wanna return it back to normal. I have done as I said I would in the first post and applied a small application update from HTC, so it appears to have worked. As expected, I have Re-locked and Tampered displayed. Will Just wait for S-off to emerge and deal with it then. Thanks for all the replies.

[Q] Boot loop after RUU

So my problem is the further, I had a fully working HTC first with the latest Hboot update previously moonshined with the old one. So I had S-off, root, JMZ's custom kernel and an unlocked bootloader but then after a while I've done alot of flashes, zip installs tweaks and modifications that created pesky problems that wouldn't go away with a simple wipe in CWM. That's okay though I could just do a complete restore with the RUU. And i did, no I didn't re-lock the bootloader because I had S-off anyways. Everything came out great. But then I went ahead and the problems started to happen.. After unlocking the bootloader I had an eternal bootloop that wouldn't go away, but did a simple re-lock and booted up just fine.
My question is what the hell am I doing wrong? does it have to do with the version of RUU im using?

Thanks! One question: what's the stock cid number for the RUU the first has? I now have S-on but when I tried to run the RUU again to see if everything was working I got error 131 which shows when there's a CID mismatch. The CID I used was cws__001.

Try a different version of the ruu, there's two iirc. Try version 1.08.502.1 if that doesn't work try the next version.

I tried both and it's a no go. Pretty sure it has to do with me changing the cid number on without knowing to the one I said earlier. But I guess if I would ever want to run the ruu I'd have to s-off it first and do it the long way then but at least I can successfully unlock the boot loader now with no problems, or at least I think. (Haven't tried it yet)
Edit:
Problem solved I unlocked the bootloader once more moonshined and set a supercid on the phone

Is this the 3.04.651.2 RUU? If so, I already have a copy, and when I attempt to run the ARUwizard I get Error 155. Most likely I am doing something wrong. I just assumed that since I am already on 4.06.651.9 that the problem was I couldn't install the older 3.04.651.2 version. Thoughts?

If you can still boot to bootloader your phone is fine. You should still have recovery (TWRP?) on your phone I assume. Regardless here are some steps that should help:
1. Figure out if you are S-ON (is found on the bootloader screen)
2. If you are S-ON, try Rumrunner to get S-OFF (just google it). This will allow you to install any RUU regardless of your firmware.
3. If Rumrunner doesn't work or you don't want to go to S-OFF then download the 4.06 RUU here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910
The problem is your firmware is ahead of the corresponding firmware of the 3.X release. As such you have to install from the newer RUU.

Actually, it seems that the phone is wiped; I can't boot my recovery. As a result, I can't really get S-OFF. I'll try the 4.06 RUU, but would it make a difference that it's .4 and not .9?
EDIT: I'm talking out of my ass right now. Long day, and this isn't helping. I am figuring it out; unlocked the bootloader, and now things seem to be functional. Well, except CM doesn't seem to want to boot any longer, but that shouldn't matter for long.
EDIT 2: How can I get S-OFF without enabling debugging? As of right now, CM is just in a boot loop.

Sim Unlock Sprint HTC One Max
I almost cannot believe how many different ROMs I've tried to flash after wiping out my original ROM.
Bootloader unlocked and rooted I managaged to relock the bootloader while trying to fastboot flash a stock ROM, which also failed.
Beleive it or not, I've have found a couple that will boot up with my Sprint HTC One Max . I was able to re-unlock the bootloader, flash a new rom and even recover user data I had backed up to my PC via adb backup.
All this for not, as I still cannot find a Sense ROM that will flash on my device and allow me to unnlock the Sim via Sim Unlock Helper.
