Hello,
I wanted to S-OFF my HTC One M7 and it looks like my last hope is use SunShine in the end.
Since I receive the following message when SunShine runs on my phone, I would like to receive some help to figure out what is the stock kernel I have to flash in order to run SunShine.
At the moment I use Elemental X kernel, as shown in the signature below, but I have not been able to find a kernel to meet the requirements. By the way, I have a rooted and unlocked phone, and I wouldn't like to come back to stock if possible.
Thanks

1) do a nandroid backup in TWRP
2) install maximusHD, this one: http://llabtoofer.com/2014/12/02/htc-one-maximushd-46-0-0/
3) sunshine s-off
4) restore you nandroid backup
Hi!
Thanks a lot for your hint!
And what about doing as explained here instead? I mean where it says about "Step-by-step procedure before attempting to S-OFF (with the universal Rumrunner version for international variants)".
It doen't say anything about the hboot version. That should work I guess, without wiping anything by the way.

OK, thank you.
So, I could flash a ROM having such hboot and then try rumrunner. If yes, can you suggest me some rom to flash? There's lot of stuff here in the forum, I get confused to be honest.

nope, you cant back flash your HBOOT at all unless you are already s-off, I see in your signature your on 1.57, sunshine is the only way to s-off your device, really the only way - (people still ask after saying this if there is another way), you also need as close to stock as possible to use sunshine.
I succeeded using Sunshine in the end, flashing a stock kernel (boot.img) extacted by a stock ROM.

I realised that I took a nandroid backup of the original firmware, so I have been successful in returning to stock.
When I boot to the bootloader, I see TAMPERED AND UNLOCKED. I guess this is to to a custom recovery and also unlocked bootloader. Any ideas how I can get this back to normal? Am I then back to stock fully?

There is NO way for you to remove the tampered flag or change relocked to locked if you are on Hboot 1.54, no S-Off available which is what you need. If you are on a lower Hboot then you can S-Off and remove the flag and return to 100% stock.
There are also NO 2.24 RUU's so don't bother trying to find one.
It amuses me that somebody would never buy another HTC phone because they don't know what to do. Other phones can be unlocked , rooted, flashed, by pure noobs who don't know what they're doing. The One requires you to learn a little and do some reading to know what to do, when you've done that you'll find it isn't hard at all.
Why are you so desperate to go back to stock? If you just want the stock experience, flash a stock rom.
If you're trying to hide the fact that you rooted and unlocked in order to return/sell it, you can't really complain that you're having problems trying to deceive people. Sorry.
Had either of you done any research and reading prior to rooting, your problems would have been apparent.

Try a factory reset, but don't use the backup to restore settings. It might be a hassle, but it should uninstall SU, and if you don't restore those settings, it should be unrooted. Just go to play store and reinstall the apps you had before. They should be saved under your account. I hope this helps.
Edit: Another possibility would be to install an all in one toolkit, and have that unroot the phone for you. I'm not 100% sure it would work with 1.54, though. There are two good ones here and here.
Edit: Yet another possibility would be to flash hboot 1.44 and then run the RUU again.
Edit: Finally, have you tried unrooting through the SU app itself?

If your phone was 2.24 out of the box and you never went s-off, you don't need a ruu because your firmware would not have changed. So you just need to restore stock recovery and stock system files, then relock. Flash a stock rom, flash stock recovery in fastboot, and unroot through the superuser app. Then relock in fastboot.
The AIO toolkits will not help with relocked and tampered on 1.54 because they require s-off, which is not available on that hboot. Also, factory reset won't unroot you; it may remove the superuser.apk but will not remove root access.

Who's flaming and complaining, and I did help ... I wouldn't help you now but that's another story. As for noobs, If you can't be bothered to read and search then that says something about you. For starters, even though you were wrong (and not the OP) I did help, I have also spent more time helping on here than I have posting anything else, so if you don't like it, you know what you can do.
You might want to give correct advice aswell, if he's on Hboot 1.54 then he'd need S-Off to flash an older Hboot, which he cannot do. Thanks

when i red your reply it seemed too easy but no
stuck recovery when you mean that ''fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'' pulled from nandroid back up ? yes ur right i manged to do that it was succesful but no change even a systim rom is not available getting signature failure 'seems promising yah
i know my thing is hard but it shouldnt be like that right im runing a rom now 4.3 im fine with it but i really want to F*** htcdev members :v
I mean stock recovery, which you can pull from the firmware file for your phone. Find the recovery.img file in the zip and use that.
Stop trying to flash ruus and firmware packages in fastboot; you may screw up your phone doing it.
Just get a stock rom that correspond to the firmware package from the development forum and flash in custom recovery. Then flash the stock recovery in fastboot. Once that's done, you should be able to get OTAs.

Currently I have an M7 UL on 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5. Its rooted and the bootloader is HTC Dev unlocked. I tried to S-OFF with firewater but I keep getting infinite lines so I gave up and I'm still S-ON
I'm not really bothered about the S-OFF anymore but would like to remove the ***TAMPERED*** bit thats there.
Also I have a few questions:
1) As I didn't try to do anything else my phone should be fine, right?
2) I want to install the ElementalX Kernel, Is it possible with S-OFF?
3) Can I still update using OTA's?
4) What are the methods to revert completely to stock with no root or unlock?
Since I'm new I hope you can help me with these questions. Thanks.

Superuser said I need to update binaries wasn't sure how but I read somewhere to install superSU from playstore. Anyways that's not really my issue, just thought I'd let u know it was goin.

I'm not sure why you want to S-off. You have now unlocked, changed recovery, and rooted. You can simply download viper one rom and flash it from recovery. You dont need to flash any boot.img for m7. I hope that helps. If you still want to S-off use rumrunner. revone is not supported for bootloader that comes with 4.1.2. Do note that you cannot s-on again once you s-off the device.

I was getting s-off because I was told to get s-off so I could flash the 3.17 ruu to update my hboot/ touchscreen drivers and radio before flashing viper, which I figured so viper would run smoother. I'm a noob just getting into modding. I have a AT&T HTC one running on crickets new gsm network and since I can't get OTAs I first wanted to just get up to 4.4 and sense 6 but then I figured I'd just go custom Rom.

Well after failing with revone, rumrunner, and firewater I went ahead and flashed viper, and everything was fine. I can't help be bugged by the fact that you told me to get s-off and flash that ruu to get the updated radio and touchscreen drivers, I read that I need a 4.2 Rom to get revone to work so I am gonna give it another try. I tried running firewater with ARHD and it said that it had an anti-firewater patch. So I am just curious as to what the importance of having the updated hboot, radio, and touchscreen drivers. I just feel like I should still get it done since u told me not to skip that step, not to mention later on down the line when I get more familiar with all of this dev and modding stuff I might want to do other things that require a-off. Thanks for all your help and info . Before I continue with it I made a backup of viper with the setting and themes I've set up, after I get s-off and flash the ruu, should I 're-flash the Rom or can I restore my backup with out changing any of the updated software, I didn't think the Rom would have anything to do with it but I just wanna make sure.

you can restore your backup with the new firmware
for firewater you needed ARHD + ElementalX kernel
it mark just fine with the ViperOne rom also
Revone only works on hboot 1.44 and android 4.1.2 and/or 4.2.2

Do you think firewater will work with viper+Elemental X kernel? If I used the same guide as with ARHD. I tried to s-off with revone by flashing a 4.2.2 viper Rom but I lost all signal and service, so I restored my backup. Also I was wondering since I'm running the 3.17 ruu to update radio and stuff , should I use the 4.18 ruu since its newer? Thanks again for all the help.
UPDATE: Well ran firewater since coudnt get revone to work , took all of like 45 seconds and it said device is s-off. Couldn't believe it after all the trouble I've had.Awesome!
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get my htc one back to stock, to get the latest ota update (4.4.3), so that I can use the latest venomrom (I think it's 7.0.1 by now).
As far as I understood it, I have to go back to stock to do that, but there were some problems I could not fix.
First my Version is 2.24.206.7 and I can't find any stock recovery for it, I searched the whole internet (that's how it felt), but nothing. I have a backup from my stock rom, that is not the problem.
Second I'm currently S-on, and my hboot is 1.54. I tried to s-off it with firewater, but it did not work.
And I have a custom kernel (ElementalX) installed, is that a problem? If it is, how can I fix it?
I hope someone can help me, and these questions are not already answered somewhere.
Thank you!

Try to s-off with Rumrunner
after your s-off it's easy to update your firmware and flash ViperOne rom
Thanks for the fast answer!
I wanted to s-off with rumrunner using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488772
But my firmware is not available, or can I use the universal Rumrunner? I think it does not work with hboot 1.54.

Yes use the Universal > http://rumrunner.us/rumrunner_downloads/rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0.zip
Ok I tried it with rumrunner universal, but it says: "looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!!"
But it is rooted oO any idea?
Thanks
EDIT: I tried it again with my stock rom, but it didn't work either. It said i should flash another kernel, or another rom and retry.

stock rom plus ElementalX is a good combo
okay, I reinstalled ElementalX (in the right version) as stockish as possible, and after many many reboots, and a few prayers and cries it did WORK!!
Thank you very much
What is the next step, because I don't have any stock recovery for my firmware? or a stock kernel..
EDIT: I was searching for RUU to flash, but the weird thing is, that my CID is O2 germany, and my firmware is O2 UK. What should I flash? There is no exact RUU for my CID, or I did not find it..
I'm really clueless how I could get the latest OTA, I don't find any fitting backup or ruu for my phone..
Or is there any other way to get the OTA's?

You now have s-off you can convert your phone to international
you need this
MID_Change_1.01.zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358538634
use modelid: PN0710000
and simply change your CID to HTC__001
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
then use this RUU
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
or here
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe
you should get OTA, then go back to unlocking your bootloader and Rooting as usual
I unlocked my bootloader and flashed TWRP and rooted through that, and now i am wanting to flash a rom, but firewater is gone. How do i go about flashing Viper/Slim? Can i do it without S-Off, is there a way to achieve S-Off? EDIT: Im on sprint!

you have to flash superuser to get root then flash a rom, you don't need s-off, depending on what rom you flash, if it won't boot after flashing just flash the boot.img from the rom zip and you're good to go.

Will that give me R/W permissions?

not completely.
I feel your pain. It seems that the newer ROMs almost require S-Off now for ease of installation, mainly due to the need of having updated firmware. I've never understood where the line is drawn between ROMs being 'based' off certain firmware, compared to the firmware actually installed on the phone (visible in Bootloader). Apparently they can be mixed-and-matched to a point? With Firewater now discontinued, it is getting very difficult to obtain S-Off, especially if (like me) you are on HBoot 1.57. I don't really care about being S-Off as long as I can update the firmware some other way like fastboot flashing an img file, but I don't know (a) if it would work, and (b) if it would it fubar my existing ROM?
What do you mean by firewater is gone?So you are s-on.Twrp.Rooted right?Which hboot are you on?1.57?There is a way
According to the website, Firewater has been discontinued, and the download is no longer available. Yes, I am personally unlocked, rooted, s-on, hboot 1.57, TWRP.

I feel you on this one. I am in the same situation as you. I can't flash a kernel nor Rom (w/out getting Bricked or Bootloops). Its like we have a useless rooted device. It was a pain just trying to get AdAway to work on this device bc even after rooting it ... the SD is protected. So now it seems as if we pretty much need to have S-Off as the norm now.
So have you solved this or did you just get it done through sunshine? if so, did sunshine get it off for you?

I sucked it up and paid the $25 for Sunshine. It was my Xmas present to myself. It worked perfectly, and worth the time it saved...actually, I didn't have any other options.

Thanks for the reply. Happy to hear you got it done. I may have to go that route if the functions I'm looking for acts up on me again. Take care and thanks again!
