Wrong OS version... - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I rooted and unlocked then flashed GPE stock 5.01. Trying to figure out how to go from there to S-Off, I think I somehow flashed a HK OS in HBoot. I have 4.20.654.10 on my non-HK M8.
Anyone have advice how to go from here to S-Off? I tried stock non-HK RUU.exe but it won't work and throws the error that I have the wrong ROM version.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you lock your bootloader before you ran the RUU?

No. To be honest, I'm not sure how. I'll research that and try again. Thanks!

Use the command fastboot oem lock while your phone and PC are connected via Fastboot USB mode.

[Q] 4.2.2 Update error, help please

I got OTA 4.2.2 on my ONE, which i bought used, was Relocked & Tempered. But now after Revone, I made it S-ON. During the flashing of OTA, the phone restarts itself once, and second time when the OTA is being flashed, it stops midway with a RED exclamation mark.
I am not getting what could be the problem here
Any suggestions....I did not flash any recovery or anything...
I recommend you to root the phone and update the firmware manually and apply a custom rom... Or make sure to follow the exact steps to go back to stock.
I'm pretty sure there are some missing files hence the update doesn't find the right checksum to proceed with the update.
Have you relocked the bootloader? Worth giving that a try if not
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
OTAs will usually fail if any system files are missing. If your phone was debloated at any point, even if it's s-on and relocked, that could be enough to stop the OTA from installing.
To flash an OTA, you typically have to be completely stock.
What do you suggest i should do... Right now doing revone method... I am S-on and bootloader is locked...... I want the official OTA... Amy kind suggestions plz

revone will not take you back to stock. You have to run a RUU for your carrier, or flash a fully stock rom if no RUU is available. For the latter, you need to be unlocked, but you can then relock and should be able to apply the OTA.
Edit: sorry, for the latter, you also have to flash the stock recovery in fastboot. You can find that in the firmware threads, though you'll need to pull recovery.img file out of the zip file.
Can some one help me find the correct RUU for me... I have posted the screen shot...

There's no RUU for your version.
The 1.28.401.7 is for the HTC One UL variant (or was it the U variant?). Anyway the 1.28.401.7 will have a different MID to yours so you can't use that RUU unless you change your MID.
EDIT:
I found the 1.29.401.16.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43316694&postcount=1157 and use this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40734501&postcount=1 to flash it so you should be back to stock.

Do you have TWRP or CWM recovery installed?
If yes that is the problem. To update you need to be on stock recovery.

Go to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582 site and get S-Off and then you will be able to downgrade to 4.1.2. Up date it and then go S-On and lock the boottloader. All is written in the OP of the mentioned site.

I know that if you can get a Windows Vitual machine running on Mac you can do it.
Then when the RUU is running you can search for the ROM
Check it out. I know if you use the HTC one AIIO toolkit you can flash the extracted data to your device. Even the recovery.img from a stock RUU.
Let me know how you get on

Lock the bootloader with revone and flash a RUU (European or WWE), like this one http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...13323127-1031113105-release-310878-signedexe/, then run revone and remove tampered message (if you have that) in bootloder but i would keep S-Off if i we`re you forever.

Unfortunately it comes up with this, and then fails at updating a while later. Turns out my hboot is 1.54 so I can't use revone right?
I remember there is a method of tricking the ruu in to thinking the device is older.if I'm not mistaken it's the changing of the cid
But someone would need to verify that one

You probably need S-Off for that right? I'm on the 1.54 hboot and the s-off method only works on 1.44 I think.
The thing is, I just noticed factory reset did not remove root.. So i'll try to unroot it first and then run the update agaib.
(also could you reply to my post directly next time? else I don't get the notification that you've answered)

HTC One RUU issue.

Hi there,
I have a problem with my htc one. I had a rooted stock rom with TWRP recovery.
I wanted to go to 4.2.2 so i tried using an RUU which failed, i probably picked the wrong one. Now my wifi constantly says 'turning on', lots of apps are blank saying no sd card installed and im not sure what to do now.
My baseband is 4A.17.3251.14_10.39.1150.04L and i bought an unlocked uk phone.
Anyone know what i need to do now to get it working again?
Thanks
Please give more info....

Oh its okay managed to fix it, i just performed an OTA update using my mobile network instead of wifi.
Got stuck a few times on the update screen so had to force restart it, but now all is working well.
My apps are back to normal and wifi works!

i`ve just bought an ATT HTC one thats converted to Google edition, need to go stock

as title says, i cannot sim unlock, im reading the phone has to be stock to do the sim unlock, so ive downloaded the RUU, the HBOOT 1.44, but i need some help, the phone is S-Off, if i cant unlock i cant use the phone as i use a local GSM Carrier, so any help on going back to stock would be greatly appreciated

When I run the rumrunner program, I type 'Yes' twice then I get an error telling me to run rumrunner again and READ. What did I do wrong?
Recently I was working on returning my phone back to stock and I ended up using OMJ's encrypted 1.29.651.7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904). However, in order to flash an older ruu successfully I also had to trick the phone into believing that an older version was installed. I did it using dd through adb, but I can't find the thread with the info so I'll try to find that.
ok, so here's what I did:
first, I downloaded the encrypted 1.29.651.7 ruu
then, I used this trick to change the version recorded in the phone (I think I had to be root, but I don't remember) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821
I substituted 1.29.651.7 for the 1.29.651.10 shown in the link
then I relocked the bootloader and flashed the ruu according to the return to stock instructions.
Hopefully this helps you work it out, I'm not sure how much this will help you but it worked for me.

This didn't do it either. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
I don't know if you can flash OMJ's firmware if your bootloader is set to "Relocked". I could be wrong but I think what you need to do is unlock it again first and install a recovery. Then flash OMJ's stock firmware from recovery. From there you can probably do the S-OFF process and RUU back to stock.
You do need to be able to boot into your ROM for S-OFF to work, as you start the S-OFF process while the phone is booted up and running.
