the variant error shows up when your OS in the bootloader and Software number inside the ROM doesnt match, you need to find a compatible ROM, the ROM you are using (3.63.707.3) is for India/Asia with cid HTC__038 and HTC__044 and MIDs PN0711000 and PN0714000 respectively, what's your Model ID? can you post the results of "fastboot getvar all" excluding your Serial No. and IMEI? if you can tell me your Model ID i can suggest the compatible stock ROM reset or RUU for your phone

PN0710000 = M7_UL
PN0711000 = M7_U
HTC__J15 is Middle East CID, and both models are available (U and UL), but he got it in Turkey, and has OS 3.63.401.3 which I think is the U model

can you gain s off using Rumrunner? because i cant find a stock Reset Guru Rom that matches your Model ID and CID, but there is an RUU for PN0711000 and HTC__J15 , it downgrades the OS so it requires s off , @nkk71 what do you think, man?

1- Haven't seen any guru resets like that for that
2- why bother? if he goes s-off, he can flash whatever he likes
3- it's always nice when someone actually says what they intend to do and why... custom rom, stock rom, rooted, non-rooted etc etc etc

At first, I dont want to s-off, want to return stock rom and get original OTA updates. But at the end, i went s-off and installed custom rom. However, if i find a solution. Try to s-on again, relock and want to use original rom.

I'm in the same situation. My HBOOT is 1.57 so I can't SOFF without Sunshine. I flashed Guru reset zip 3.63.707.3
When I check OTA it downlaods and gives me the variant system version error. I can't install with RUU either. What am I supposed to do?

Found a compatible RUU from the thread you gave. But couldn't flash the RUU zip, always got different errors.
Got sick of this after 11 hours of research and stuff. I've just SOFF'd my M7 with Sunshine, revert back to 1.29 (Sense 5 and 4.1.2 ) now installing all the firmwares one by one.
Thanks for your help mate.

did you relock bootloader and use the htc_fastboot.exe? then it should have worked just fine.
anyway, S-OFF is a much better thing to have imho, and since you're S-OFF you could consider changing the modelid to PN0710000; obviously it wont give you LTE (since the hardware is missing), but would allow you to get the "regular" .401. OTAs
but guess you wont need to worry about that for the time being, since PN0711000 is also on new version now.

Help For RUU

Hi everyone
I have rooted my phone and I want to unroot it but I can`t find my RUU
would you please help me to find it ?

thanks in advance.....

I believe you can flash any ruu as you are s-off, however if you want your particular one then have a look at the site linked below. You may also have to write super cid to your device first though, quiet easy, just a simple fastboot command.
Www.htc1guru.com
There is however a whole thread devoted to your model of phone.

thanks for your answer
but would you please tell me what is super cid ?!
and what is for ?

you can either flash the 2.24.708.4 ruu from here or change your CID and MID to use another version RUU

Your CID at the moment is HTC__622
Super CID is 11111111
You would then have to change your MID to the ROM version / area you want to flash.

Is It necessary to change my MID for installing RUU ?

MID needs to match the RUU you are installing, so if you decide to run an RUU with an MID of PN0714000 which is the same as your then no need to change it.
If you want to install an RUU with a different MID then you need to change it.

a lot of times it's much easier to just get the decrypted RUU / Rom.zip
and edit the android_info.txt to match your model instead of changing CID and MID all the time

you have s-off and super cid and most likely custom recovery
you need stock recovery and and the missing files from unlocking the bootloader. This is discussed 100's of times in the forums. Your choice is flash a RUU (loose everything) and take all the OTA updates. Or locate the stock recovery and missing files and restore them then take the OTA update.

Your problem here is the modelid (MID) is shown as a EU MID - PN0710000
and the correct MID for xx.x.708.x is PN0714000

Nothing ... until you fix the wrong MID
Or make a total change to EU version, then you can start with a EU RUU with lower version and do many OTA to the latest version.

open it in 7zip and extract the firmware.zip to your desktop
this has the stock recovery in it.
then back in 7zip you need the system/priv-app folder
this should contain the missing files from unlocking the bootloader. They could also be in system/app. You'll have to check what errors you get during the update to see what files are failing the check / Missing

Great ... you fixed the main problem.
And the second problem is the recovery, as mentioned before you need a stock recovery
Grab it here : http://d-h.st/7di
You may have another problem ... how to flash this stock recovery.
Since you managed to fix the variant version problem, then I guess you have root in your ROM.

try again and see whether you have any error. The only one I can guess is your ROM may not have the preload files ... fix this one later if there is a problem. If no problem then everything should be good.

Modified firmware = variant system version error
You can't update automatically or manually when you have this error
Check that you have CID HTC__044 and MID PN0714000
If no ... read a few post that mentioned before
Also note that "relock bootloader" is not necessary

CID__044 is wrong and HTC_044 also wrong.
The correct one is HTC__044 (notice the double underscore)
To make thing easier why don't change it to SuperCID
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
(there 8 of 1)
I don't advise to manually update OTA, since you insist :
1. Put the OTA.zip on the root of sdcard
2. Boot to hboot and select recovery
3. press power + volume up to enter recovery
4. select install from phone storage
5. select 0 then select the OTA.zip

Thank you, I updated my One successfully

[SOLVED] HTC One Debranding

I just bought an HTC One which is unlocked but it shows the O2 bootscreen. I wish to debrand the phone but will that lock the phone? I am not sure how the phone was unlocked by the previous user. Thanks

No it will not lock the phone, unless you want it locked. Post a fastboot getvar all except remove the imei and serialno and we will be able to direct you how to rebrand your phone.

I dont know if you are talking about sim unlock or bootloader unlock but anyway, both sim and bootloader will stay unlocked even if you flash another rom or if you debrand the phone.

I see
@alray Yeah I mean sim unlock, Can you post a link of a guide to install stock htc rom to debrand. Will I be able to get OTA updates? What steps are needed Unlock bootloader, s-off, change cid custom recovery and install rom? Can you link me to a stock rom with ota for europe or international version. I had a look at the first link in your sig but its kinda confusing.

If you want a full conversion, you can s-off the phone, change cid to HTC__001 and flash a x.xx.401.x RUU. Your best option to s-off on hboot 1.57 is probably sunshine s-off but its a paid exploit (25 USD) or you can try firewater, its free but it will require more steps and you have like 50% chance it will not work.
or the easier way, if you only want a debranded rom, you could only unlock the bootloader, flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and then flash a rom (like arhd 71.1)

@alray Hey I did everything and am now trying to get the right RUU for europe or international. I flashed this : RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe and it seems to be fine except I am still s-off and an for some reason an option while doing the initial wizard called Tell HTC tells me this is a test device so this option will remain on. What is causing this? My device is a test device?! Wrong RUU?
Edit: I am updating the phone but it wont find the latest after every boot it finds the next. Now installing 4.3, it was 4.1.2 to begin with..

Tell HTC/test device is normal. You'll always get this message at the initial setup with s-off phones, don't worry with this.
The ruu will not turn back s-on and thats a good thing. Keep your phone s-off.

Yeah I thought it was the s-off causing this. Thanks for you reply, gonna install update after update and see if it comes up with the latest. Bit strange it doesn't install the absolute latest, but I guess the final update size would be huge to have all the fixes in previous versions in one.

updates must be installed incrementally, don't worry you'll eventually be on the latest version.

First time custom rom

Alright so I have been wanting to change my htc one (802w/dual sim) from android 5.0.2, back to 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 though I want a full stock/htc like software of the android version.
I found some here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617159
I've got a few questions though as I am a bit afraid I might harm my phone (saw some posts that some phones might break down and not function again..)
First thing about the RUU and firmware, I figured some stuff but please correct me if I'm wrong:
I will be downloading Android 4.2.2 RUU version: 2.19.401.1 - then OTA update version: 2.41.401.1-2.19.401.1 (should be still android 4.2.2 according to the collection thread)
And to be able to get to android 4.4.2 (might not need 4.4.3) I will download OTA 4.21.401.5-2.41.401.1
Well, is there anything wrong with the OTA versions or RUU?
Also, when I get to Android 4.2.2, can I just mainly check for updates over "Software updates" and will I get the updates from HTC? Or they will prevent it as I installed a *custom* rom?
And for the main thing, please link me any tutorial or guide (in-depth will be appreciated.. would like to know what I'm doing) to install the rom and any other files if needed.
Sorry for the long post, have a good day!
Regards,
Matt.

You can't do what you said above. x.xx.401.x RUU is not for your cid (HTC__J15). You can only flash RUU that are designed for your CID and MID and since your phone is S-ON, you can't downgrade using a RUU. You'll either need to S-OFF the phone so you can flash an old M7CDUG x.xx.402.x RUU or use old costom roms.

I did some searching and I found this RUU
Code:
www htc1guru com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_k44_sense55_mr_htc_europe_4-19-401-9_r_radio_4a-23-3263-28_10-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
(I can't send outside links)
According to the site it's for CID HTC_J15 and modelid PN0710000
Does it mean I can flash it even though it's x.xx.401.x? Also if I can, can you please send a guide about how to S-OFF the phone?
Thanks again.

No you can't, this RUU is simply not for your phone, not even for the same variant.
To flash a ruu on a s-on phone:
The ruu must match your CID number. Yours is HTC__J15 ---> OK
The ruu must match your MID number Yours is PN0771000 this RUU is for PN0710000 --> NO
The ruu must match the firmware base version. Yours is .402 this RUU is .401 ---> NO
The ruu must be same or newer than the current firmware version installed. Yours is 7.xx.xxx.x , this ruu is 4.xx.xxx.x so it's a downgrade, can't downgrade with s-on --> NO
The ruu must match your variant. Yours is M&CDUG --> The ruu you want to flash is for M7_UL ---> NO
The bootloader must be locked or re-locked
If only on of the above condition isn't respected, the ruu won't flash... And even if you could achieve s-off, #5 will always cause problem. You can only use RUU for M7CDUG variant
