[Q] Noob which needs help updating firmware

HI
i've noticed that htc devices have stuff like, s-off, h -boot, firmwares, CiD's etc. (NOTE: im new to htc, from recently having a Samsung phone, yes things are alot different)
So since i got my htc one i have
Unlocked the bootloader
got S-off using Revone
flashed TWRP
installed few custom roms & kernals (ARHD, TrickDroid, TeaMseven & ElementalX) all roms/kernals were 4.2.2 based
So how do i upgrade my firmware?
What are the benefits of upgrading?
What is SuperCID?

supercid allows you to install any ruu thats out as long as its gsm and your phone is gsm or cdma if your phone is cdma

So if flash super cid will I be able to flash any firmware?

You don't really need to use super CID as you have the generic HTC__001 CID.
Id flash 2.17 from here:

thanks for the link.
can you downgrade firmware?
will upgarding firmware affect my chances of going back to stock ruu?

You can downgrade the firmware with an RUU. As long as you have an RUU for your phone you should always be able to get it back to stock.

RUU flashing problem!

Hey guys,
I have just download 1.28.401.7 RUU to flash on my htc one.
MY htc one Product code is m7_ul and cid is htc_001 and mid is PN710000.
when the ruu is flashing it shows a error and says there is a diff. bootloader version.
What am i doing wrong??

Most likely the current version of a bootloader is newer than that which contains in RUU .To you it is necessary to flash RUU under s-off.

exactly the same ,i desperately need to get back to stock to send phone away,what can we do to to rectify this please PLEASE

You need
1) Get S-OFF
2) Change CID to unbranded one (HTC__001 for example)
3) Flash the European RUU 1.28.401.7
4) Recieve OTA to latest firmware
if you want to remain on ORANGE, it is necessary to find RUU for orange and you don't need to change CID

anyone please i need to post this phone today or at the latest this weekend,,,because i have relocked the bootloader i can not get out of fast boot screen bahhhh

Under s-off you can flash RUU and then receive OTA with unlocked bootloader.
When got S-ON you need relocked (locked) bootloader to receive OTA correctly.

For change cid type "fastboot oem writecid XXXXXXXX"

You have HTC__001 CID? If yes, you don't need change cid for 1.28.401.7 RUU.

To get OTAs you will need to change your mid if your going from "Tmobile" to "Dev Edition" make sure your mid and cid matches the RUU

Why do you need to go back to stock? Warranty/selling?
because with S-On you can only get your bootloader to say RELOCKED, it will never say LOCKED unless you S-Off.

Apart from the fact you have the wrong recovery I think that the mismatch with your firmware and CiD is your problem.
I'm not sure how you can put that right without s-off though.
What OS version number does the OTA your trying to install have?
You can try to flash the latest 6.09.401.12 firmware over it. In theory that should work as it will match your CiD and MiD

Nop, you need 6.09.401.12 firmware and 6.09.401.12 Rom. Only thing is if you do change you won't get the OTA as I don't think it's been pushed for 401 yet. But at least you'll be ready when it comes
I have a 6.09.401.11 nandroid and Firmware. That may do the trick but I'll see if I can find the .12 first

İ decided to pay 25 $ and get s-off and change cid mid then continue as developer edition. What do you think , is it reasonable, (and feasible ? ) can you help me step by step ? I am on the way , will be home and start process in 1 hour . Thank s for your help.

1-Use Sunshine to achieve s-off
2-change your cid to BS_US001
3-change your MID to PN0712000
4-flash the 7.17.1540.7 RUU or take the 7.17.1540.7 ota update.
i gained s-off by using sunshine... now i will change cid and mid and take take the 7.17.1540.7 ota update. But my recovery is recovery_4.19.401.11.img . I think this will be a problem. Where can i find suitable recovery ?

I changed cid to BS_US001 but changing mid is difficult i think. do i have to change it to get ota (7.17.1540.7) ?

Open firmware file and check if it allows your mid. If not, and S-off, add your own and flash firmware.zip!

I get file via OTA so i dont have it. I tried again but still i got "variant system software", i think that means my mid is not allowed.
How can i change my mid ? can you help me step by step ?
I think s-off skips signature check so changing firmware.zip content will not be problem, am i right ?
