Converted TMobile USA to GPE. can't flash other RUU's

Hey guys,
I have a tmobile usa htc one that I converted to GPE. I did so through a GPE RUU zip file. I used the command fastboot flash zip "RUU zip file here".zip. My phone successfully converted and a dark bootloader replaced my white bootloader with the red warning sign.
Now the problem is when I try to flash another RUU zip... lets say Stock Tmobile HTC one, or Developers ROM RUU, I always got an error message. I know I can flash a sense based rom onto my phone, but I want the option to revert back to stock, Developers edtion.
How do I go on about this? someone help :crying:
I'd greatly appreciate it.

maybe you should start by posting your ''fastboot getvar all'' minus imei/sn and give us a link to the ruu that failed to install. Also:

doesnt say much. you should write down that exact error code you get.

''fastboot flash zip RUU name_of_file.zip'' is not a valid command...
you need to flash this way:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip -----> yes again

Even if RUU is apart of the zip name? Because I just copy and pasted the name of the file onto the commandline.
And yes the command you gave me is how I converted to GPE. I also just copy and pasted the zip file name into the command. I just don't remember if the GPE zip had Ruu in the start of the name
Anyways;
I'll just rename the zip file to see what happens
Thanks

right now im using the htc one toolkit. I think i can change the model id.
just to be clear is the meid from getvar info the model ID?
btw is there a list thread with a full list of MID and CID? because ive tried looking all around XDA and google.
just in case I want to go back to Tmobile stock.

not meid, modelid.
you always need to match mid and cid to the ruu you want to use. when you download the ruu from htc1guru.com the required mid and cid are listed in the download page.
htc cid list here
htc one mid almost all listed here here
so for dev edition you need cid: BS_US001 and MID PN0712000
I'll recommand you use that tool I linked to you to change mid.
for cid just do this
Code:
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
fastboot reboot

Thanks... will try this right now
but one last question. will 4GLTE work if i change the CID? I never payed attention what were my MID and CID were before I flashed the GPE RUU. but its obvious that the CID didnt change since its still tmo-010. I was under the impression that flashing a RUU will change everything. I guessing it doesnt since I need to change the CID and MID to flash the Developer RUU

thanks! I did your steps and RUU is flashing as we speak.
appreciate the help. You have my many thanks!

[Q] RUU is stuck at "Checking Header", can't go back to stock

Hello guys,
I bought a shiny new M8 and wanted to sell my M7 now. Problem: I can't for the heck of it figure out how to revert back to stock. I was on ARHD all the time.
First of all, my getvar all. I was S-OFF.

I already relocked the bootloader as I understood that it needs to be relocked to install an official RUU. So far so good.
I downloaded the latest RUU (RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_R adio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_ signed_2-1.exe) and it just gets stuck at Checking Header and 5%.
I googled a bit and found this thread here where it is suggested to use m7_ul_jb_50_htc_europe_1-28-401-7_radio_4a-13-3231-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed and then OTA all the way up. Well, this RUU won't even begin the update process as it says that this RUU is incompatible, right before the flash should start.
I even tried extracting the Rom.zip out the latest RUU and flashing it manually, this is what I get:

you already have a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2796167 for the same issue. why a 2nd one?
btw you don't need to relock bootloader to flash ruu when the phone is s-off.

Would it work to flash a nandroid backup of an original german unbranded phone via CWM?

Wait, you have a sprint phone? Hope you ar enot trying to flash this 4.19.401.9 ruu for GSM phones?
Btw you have s-off, you can use every ruu intended for sprint variant m7wls (x.xx.651.x RUU). Do not attempt to flash ruu for GSM variants. You should also set back your cid to its original value (SPCS_001).
And remove your S/N, IMEI and MEID numbers from your above post, these are sensitive data you want to keep for yourself.

M7_WLS = Sprint = CDMA phone = different partition table = flash a ruu not for sprint and you'll end with a bricked phone.

[Q] Stuck at RUU Bootloader

I believe I have bricked my device. I'm s-off on the latest firmware and radios and was running the latest insertcoin sense 7 rom when I tried to run the LP RUU to get it back to stock and it failed. Keeps giving me error code 152, which means it thinks something is wrong with the image. It has left me stuck on the RUU bootloader screen with no means of getting back to the main bootloader. I still have fastboot commands, but cannot manually flash the newest firmware or rom.zip from this thread. The RUU I have is also from this thread. I have tried it several times, tried relocking the bootloader even though I am s-off, still didnt work, and I am completely stuck on the bootloader. Now it seems that I can't flash anything because I've relocked the bootloader? I've tried fresh downloads of everything, and also have the HTC drivers installed with HTC sync uninstalled. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I have been working on phones for years and never had a problem running an RUU until today. Any help is greatly appreciated, and I'll buy you a beer if you can fix it
Please ask questions if I'm not clear enough, I can clarify if needed.
Here are a few of the outputs I'm getting:

Yes, that's what caused all of this to begin with. The .exe RUU failed with Error 152. I've tried the previous KK RUU as well, to no avail.
Edit: The failure is with the partition update. everything passes, and then the partition fails and it hangs after it tries to update system.

When you run the exe from you PC when it fails does it give you a Recover option in the RUU screen?

Yes, and I've followed all those steps as well. It does the same thing each time; says it has recovered successfully, I go to continue the RUU process, and it fails again and gives me the chance to recover, and this repeats no matter how many times I try.

After you recover don't restart the RUU.
Try from the beginning from a different USB port USB2 work best.

Tried that as well. Tried both USB 2 and 3, running as administrator and normally, same Error 152 each time. Tried recovering and not recovering as well. My PC is running Windows 7 Pro.
Could the fact that I relocked it have anything to do with it?

Being re-locked shouldn't matter since you are s-off.
My only other suggestions are...
Different cable
Different PC.

BD could it be because he's relocked and doesn't have a eng . bootloader be the problem, just throwing this out there.

I took it to the Sprint store and they couldn't even flash the image. Not that it's any different than the one I was using, but they replaced it for free since I've had it less than a year. Chalk one up for the home team!

Bootloop/ errors with GPE still on jellybean

Back in the day, my HTC One M7 GPE was one of the ones that became a soft brick with the initial update. So after Google replaced my phone, I turned off updates, and thereby wound up remaining on jellybean (4.2.2).
All was well and good until last week, when my phone wound up on a bootloop. Originally I could stop it from bootlooping by clearing the cache of certain apps like Gmail. But it would go back into a bootloop after some use like checking email or a webpage. I tried to download/ update the system, but my system was saying it didn't have enough memory. I started mass uninstalling things I don't use, in hopes that this wound work, but no luck.
So, I contacted Google who had me go into the bootloader and recovery. That gave me an android lying on his back with the red triangle/ exclamation point. From there he had me clear the cache.
After that, my phone would go into a bootloop no matter what!!
Out of desperation, I saved whatever I could on my computer, and then factory reset.
However, still with the factory reset I am getting bootloops!!
I was able to re-turn on usb debugging, and I have the file (now) to unlock my bootloader.
However, before I go ahead and do so, I am hoping there is a way to re-load on the OEM ROM and replace whatever has gone bad.... and hope the phone can then do its natural updates??
I've downloaded the 2.14.1700.15 files from the HTCdev website, and I tried to flash the zip files, but I get the "12 signature verify fail" error.
I have confirmed that my cid is still GOOGL001 . I thought that as long as it was a matching ROM that it would flash without unlocking the bootloader?
There are also Framework support files on the HTCdev website - I may need to replace/ flash those also??
If anyone has ideas before I go ahead and unlock the bootloader, that would be great!!
And if i do unlock the bootloader, given that I have never performed an update on the system, what version of the software (file) would you recommend that I flash the system with? I have no need for a custom ROM. The GPE ROMs are fine for me.
Thank you so much for your help!!

You could flash the 5.11.1700.3 GPE RUU and update to the latest version from there using ota
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
File and instructions at post 1 of this thread. Don't forget that flashing a RUU will wipe the phone so backup your important files before.

Thanks for the reply!
Do I have to unlock the bootloader to flash this RUU?
Also it looks like on the webpage that it is a Lollipop Sense RUU? Is that right? I was hoping to stay with the GPE ROMs. And i was guessing that I needed to load on the jellybean original first prior to updating to Lollipop.... but maybe that isn't necessary??
Thanks for all of your assistance!!

The bootloader must be locked to flash the ruu since your phone is S-ON.
.1700 is the GPE version not Sense

Actually neither of those links are working either.
If someone could let me know the best options, it would be appreciated!

I'm wondering if the files you are sending are the same as that on the HTCdev website:
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads ?
By going into the One Google Play Edition, a bunch of ROMs and Frameworks come up. I'm currently on 2.14.1700.15 . I originally tried to flash that UI, but that's when i got the signature errors.
Do I need to flash the Frameworks first? And, if so, what is the line code to do that?
Or is the reason it failed is because I used the android fastboot, instead of HTC fastboot??

No these are kernel source files, not useful for you, flash the ruu and you should be fine.

12 signature verify fail = Your bootloader is unlocked. It must be locked or re-locked (fastboot oem lock) to flash a RUU.

no, my bootloader is locked. i never unlocked it.
i also tried both the htc fastboot, and regular fastboot. both have the signature fail error.

Ok then it might be caused by the RUU not being signed with HTC's signature. Unsigned RUU can only be flashed on S-OFF phone. So you'll need either to find a signed RUU or S-OFF your phone and use that one.

Before I unlock my bootloader and attempt to install something else, could someone let me know if they have an RUU.zip that would work with my phone?!? I have tried just about anything that looked like an RUU.zip that I could find for GPE, and all give me the signature fail. I'm getting horribly frustrated and want a phone again!!

HTC One M7 - Unfortunately Setup Wizard Has Stopped Working

Hi,
I have a One M7 which has Vodafone branding, but is not network locked and has HBOOT 1.61 and S-ON. I wanted to convert it to Google Play Edition, so I did the following:
Unlocked the bootloader using instructions at HTCdev
Installed recovery using Hasoon2000's HTC One All-In-One Toolkit
When restarting recovery, it asked me if I wanted to root, I chose to root
Tested root with app on Play Store, found that it hadn't been rooted successfully
Installed SunShine to achieve S-off, temproot was unsuccessful; couldn't S-off
Booted into recovery, and for whatever reason, chose to "fix permissions"
On next reboot, I found that Play Store was missing
Performed a factory reset from recovery, rebooted
Android proceeded to do it's "updating apps" thing, but stopped halfway through and gave me the error "Unfortunately Setup Wizard Has Stopped Working". Now the error continuously pops up and I can't access anything in the OS. I also can't seem to get ADB to recognise my device any more. It either says "error: device not found", or "List of devices attached" and follows up with two blank lines.
I'm stuck as to what to do with this now. The only thing that works is fastboot:

Your post is the perfect example why I say to everyone:, don't use any toolkit, learn the basic adb/fastboot commands!
Toolkits can be nice for some time but when they are not supported anymore, they will flash an outdated version of TWRP and so outdated supersu binaries which will cause issues.
Now you can flash a custom rom using twrp, or flash your stock RUU using fastboot, root your phone using the latest supersu version and s-off with sunshine.

Thanks for the reply. So I can use fastboot to flash roms without having to copy them to the phone first? For some reason I thought it was only for flashing recoveries.

You can use fastboot to flash RUU (stock rom). Other roms are flashed from recovery.

Thanks for your help. I've downloaded the second-gen 7.18.161.21 RUU for vodafone from the collection in your sig. The MD5 is reported as da17b2877fbe45da5598d2d02d89d4eb which matches my download, but I am concerned that I cannot read the .zip properly with 7zip or WinRAR to inspect the .txt file. 7zip won't open it at all, and WinRAR displays the contents but reports corruption when I try to extract.
Should I proceed to flash it?

If you want to flash the .21 ruu on your .51 version, you'll need too downgrade you version-main first. You'll also need to use htc_fastboot.exe not the regular fastboot.exe to flash the RUU.

Thanks. So, it seems that I have two options: follow the instructions for flashing an older RUU, or change my CID to flash a current RUU that belongs to a different carrier (I cannot find a Vodafone RUU that matches my version). Is that correct?

Never mind, I managed to flash an older RUU following the instructions in your collection link. It's now booting properly again, and everything seems fine! Thanks for the help
