I'm rooted/s-off and trying to install the latest Sprint RUU, but run into an error. It happens on the black screen with the HTC logo, right after the RUU boots up the bootloader.
Any ideas on how to rectify this?
Also, is the latest fw able to be rooted, just in case I don't like it I can restore the backup I made?

Do you have more info on the bootloader?
Also, just for reference, can we see your fastboot getvar all ?
Remove IMEI, serial No and MEID.
To answer your second questions, yes. I am running the latest firmware with no root issues.
I totally forgot to mention that it was supposed to be the progress bar screen that's black with the HTC logo in the middle.
I'll be back with a getvar later on probably.

I have noticed the latest RUU's will not run properly (M7 and M8) if the hboot does not match. The latest hboot for the M7 is 1.57.
You may have to flash the latest Full Firmware to update your hboot then run the RUU.

I attempt to run the RUU straight from my desktop.
What happens is the phone does it's initial restart into RUU mode in the bootloader, then the very next screen is the HTC logo on a black screen, which is seemingly supposed to have a progress bar right under the logo. Right there is where the error is thrown.
The RUU program suggests I unplug the phone, which I do, and it's just the bootloader screen with only RUU the only highlightable option. From there, I have to hard reset the phone and I'm back to the start, which is my phone as usual, so it doesn't seem like it ever gets to copy a file or format anything.

So what's the exact error message? And no, the progress bar only appears after you issue the flash command.
Also, what OS are you using?

What's the latest full one? I'll grab that and give it a shot.
The only reason I'm trying to update now is because I have this issue that seems to kill my battery within 3-4 hours, and I can't figure out why. I thought I'd give a full update a try to see whether it's my phone or something in my setup doing it.
Stock 3.05.651.6, but when I did it I had to start with the very first fw the phone had and take each ota til I was where I am now. That was a long time ago, and this issue only started a week or two ago at most.
Any potential ideas in that realm would be super appreciated.

I probably should've mentioned this in the first post, but that's the RUU I'm trying to use.
I meant to ask which was the first one with the updated bootloader.
@BD619 should he try to flash each partition individually via fastboot?

The firmware will update hboot,radio, ect.
The RUU will update the firmware aswell as the OS.

Make sure it's in the folder you are using to open the cmd window.
Make sure it names firmware.zip not firmware.zip.zip

Couldn`t work as you are S-On. I think you`re stuck bro afaik. Maybe someone else knows a solution. Good luck.
That's odd. It shouldn't have run at all since you can't downgrade using a RUU without s-off. It should have prompted a RUU error noting that you were on a later version.
Is your phone rooted and unlocked yet? Did you do anything to it besides run the RUU?
Can't you just use fastboot to push a custom recovery and then sideload a custom or stock ROM?

Looks like his only option. Surprised that the RUU wiped his device before getting the error.
There's no way to downgrade hboot with s-on atm.
I'm gonna be 'that guy'... What the heck were you doing flashing an RUU on S-on with 'limited IT knowledge'...
There's a reason RUUs aren't released. It's to prevent this.
On a side note I would try another RUU download. Where are you getting the error at? What's the phone doing?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I'm wondering now. Did you actually try to fastboot flash the 1.44 WWE firmware.zip in RUU mode despite being s-on? Because if you really did that, the phone is dead. You're getting a signature error because the phone is s-on and you managed to corrupt something important. Being s-on, I doubt there is any way to fix it.
An expensive lesson, but maybe you'll be more careful next time. Gaining s-off isn't worth bricking your phone.
This is confusing as the official RUU's (exe's and zips) will simply not allow you to downgrade the hboot or to flash an older version of the firmware without having s-off so my thoughts are exactly the same as iElvis.
I cannot see how you managed to do what you did.
So questions....
Are you running a custom recovery?
Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
Have you tried holding vol down and power for about 15 to 30 seconds to see if you can get into the bootloader?
Did you do something like reboot into bootloader, fastboot oem rebootRUU and then fastboot flash zip firmware.zip?
TELL US the exact steps you went through so we can try to help you and worst case scenario you have bricked your phone.
I am having a similar problem only i have S-off but i cant find the right RUU or the right recovery.img to fastboot it .
If you have rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0.zip you could gain s-off very easy .

my S-ON is active, do i have to turn it to S-OFF? How can I do it if I can only enter the fastboot mode (adb doesnt work).

You have to flash the firmware.zip file first if you haven't flashed it.
It contains new bootloader stock recovery and radio and etc. Find appropriate firmware of your model then use ruu it will work.

It is difficult finding a RUU if you don't know the version number (x.xx.xxx.x)! Did you try to side load a custom rom on to your phone? The instructions were in [Solution] No OS installed post? ADB commands will work while the phone is in Recovery. Once the prep is complete, then boot the phone up into Recovery and plug it into the computer.

You can try this Guru Reset M7 3.63.707.4 for your phone and you can choose the stock recovery as an option. Download the file to your /Download folder, when in recovery you can select the file. This page has the installation screen shots.
I have a HTC one with Viper Rom I want to go back to 100% stock to sell. I started this process days ago and I think my first step was to lock the bootloader then try to find an RUU to run. That look about 3 days off my life with bootloops until I locked the bootloader again and now have my phone back.
Here are my specs I think the experts will need- can the helpful community here help me get back to stock and direct me what steps to use?

Try this RUU
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573774
Thanks, I'm pretty sure I already tried that, but maybe I did the wrong steps or wrong order.
Do I just run that RUU ....no relock or anything else first?

You can find the instructions for running the RUU here. But here is a more current RUU which I think will match your hboot 1.57. Follow the instructions in the OP.
Thanks, as I recall I tried exactly those steps and that is how I ended up in a boot loop.
Specifically when I ran the RUU it would complete maybe steps 1 of 5 and I would get an error and the program would stop with error 'htc fastboot.exe has stopped working "
Pretty much no method I tried worked until I relocked the boot loader and voila the phone booted finally.
Notice I have higher boot loop version. Does that matter?

Please remove from your first post your imei and serialno.
You have a higher hboot, and I think you tried to run a RUU of a lower hboot. Since, you are S-ON you can only run RUU with the same or higher hboot, the same or higher OS/version and the CID & MID must match. If these are not met, it will fail. And the bootloader must be LOCKED or RELOCKED.

You have not provided much information.
Which GURU reset you used ? Which firmware you were on before flashing it ?
Also attach you phone to pc in fastboot mode, open command prompt and type in fastboot getvar all
Copy, paste the result over here. Make sure you remove IMEI and Serial No from it.
Also it's generally advised to use TWRP with HTC One.
Judging from my Bootloader mode info my OS Version was 2.24.401 so i flashed Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.401.1 with TWRP (i don't know which firmware it was on because it was bricked when i got it, it kept restarting)

can you go into settings ?
GOOD news is that you can achieve S-OFF on this HBOOT version for free and very easily.
Just do as it is said in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487888
S-OFF has many advantages. And if you follow the guidelines and always read before doing anything, you won't get into any trouble.
Once you achieve S-OFF. you can install any firmware on your phone.

You cant get s-off without a working rom on the phone, so thats got to be fixed first.
@arber95 reflash the guru reset file using TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery, it should work then.
Hold down power button + volume down, the 2 lights on the bottom will flash approx 15 times, just keep holding, when the lights stop flashing, release to power button only, this will take you back to the bootloader.
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery using fastboot commands http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
enter recovery, hopefully the guru reset file is still there on your internal storage, if not you'll have to push it to your internal storage using adb, then uplug your phone and flash it.

I helped him RUU to stock.
He didn't want S-OFF. Just a working phone. He used ruu after incrementally flashing signed firmwares to 4.19.401.9..
Strangely his phone dialer was Fcing even after stock RUU 4.09.401.9
Last thing I know he catched 4.09.401.11 OTA and updated to it.
Don't know if the problem got solved.
As @abdulwakil noted. I'm back to Stock 4.4.2 with no root and relocked bootloader. Now my problems are: Dialer FC, i cant swipe notification center at all, and the phone restarts every exactly 4 minutes (which is strange), and it's not reading the simcard or getting signal (which it used to before)
@Seanie280672, help needed.

Sounds to me like you have the IMEI / Baseband problem, the only fix if the RUU didnt fix it is to send it off for repair, dont send it to HTC, they will charge you as your bootloader is re-locked, unlocking your bootloader voids your waranty, try your carrier if your on contract, its a hartdware problem and no amount of flashing will fix it.
Only way to hide that you ever unlocked your bootloader is to get s-off and falsh a very early rom, then lock and s-on before updating, however, now your probably on HBOOT 1.56, s-off is only possible through sunshine and will cost $25.

please remove your imei and serial from your post.
You could try flashing this, this is a full wipe firmware, it will wipe everything and re-build your partitions is the same firmware you have now: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579671
I would recommend after that to straight away, flash TWRP recovery and then push a custom KK sense rom to your internal storage and flash it, see if you have the same problem., if the problem still persists, you have a hardware issue.

This is all the wipe and non wipe firmware files, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/tvdrXmIGYk0OWi0jtqih_0g/htmlview?pli=1, obviously you can only go up as your s-on, im surprised though that you can update whilst having those problems and they're not being fixed by the updates, I would be tempted to update as far as 6.09.401.5 full wipe, then flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and flash trhis rom by clsA

Yeah definitely sounds like unknown imei and baseband although I would expect you to only see the HTC logo after unlocking the screen.
For some reason CM roms work even with this issue. I believe it's because there is no Sense overlay with CM But I'm not exactly sure why they work.
Can you go to Settings>About>Phone Identity. And check your IMEI number is it displayed as Unknown?
Also Settings>About>Software information>More. And check your baseband is it displayed as Unknown.?

This is all the wipe and non wipe firmware files, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/tvdrXmIGYk0OWi0jtqih_0g/htmlview?pli=1, obviously you can only go up as your s-on, im surprised though that you can update whilst having those problems and they're not being fixed by the updates, I would be tempted to update as far as 6.09.401.5 full wipe, then flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and flash trhis rom by clsA

Again Sim not recognised, dialer FC, notification center doesn't open, and now it restarts more often (every 2 mins or so)
