Hey everyone, I accidently wiped everything on my phone when I was messing around on TWRP. I've downloaded SDK tools, and the 1.29 RUU file, but I need a 1.31 version and I don't know how to turn S-OFF because my phone doesn't recognize when I connect it to my computer. I'm in a bit of a pickle here and I would so so so so appreciative if anyone could help, or at least point me in the right direction.

Hi, to be thorough, first things first,
1- post a screenshot of your bootloader
2- post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n)
3- where do actually want to end up? custom ROM , back to stock , etc.

Sorry, I probably should have been more clear.What I want to do is return my HTC ONE backto stock with the RUU file because i accidently erassd all the files on it on TWRP, however I cant use RUU file because my phone needs version 1.31 of the RUU. Here's a picture of my bootloader.
If it's any help, I'm running windows on mac through VMware Fusion.

1.31? Isn't that a Sprint version? If so, better to ask on the Sprint HTC One forum, as it's quite different from the GSM HTC One.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one
and POSSIBLY http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821
I'm not familiar with Sprint versions, so sorry can't help. Good luck though
Hey all,
I'm trying to get my phone back to my carrier's stock but I'm running into some issues.
I can't use a RUU because I have one of the "Whelp" non-s-off phones. Most guides on here as well require you to have s-off to do.
Any idea's on how to bring a S-ON'd phone back to stock?
Thanks,
Basttrax

you can still use a RUU if it's the same version of your current software or newer

I'm getting to the point with the RUU that the screen goes to the black HTC screen. Then I get a "HTC_Fastboot.exe has crashed" error.

whats your fastboot getvar all
can you do a Guru Reset ?
Needing some help if you anyone can help at all. I was trying unroot my Sprint M8. Something went wrong when I flashed stock recover wrong, I don't know what but the issues started after that, and now it keeps booting into bootloder mode and won't go pass that. I have contacted HTC Premium Support to see if they have any advice still waiting to hear back. I have contacted Sprint and they have told me to take into a store to see if it can be repaired. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to fix this? Or do you know if it can be fixed by Sprint of if that is wasting a trip. Any help would be much appreciated. Don't know if this is the right forum or not. If not I'm sorry. Thanks for anyone in advance who has any advice tips or whatever it may be..
You can fix your issue with a RUU. Hit the second link in my sig and scroll down to the RUU section. Find the RUU that matches your current software/firmware version and follow the instructions in my thread to run the RUU on your device.

Even though I can't boot past the bootloader mode screen?
Download the latest RUU, and make sure that the appropriate drivers are on your computer.
Also, make sure that you lock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) before running the RUU if you are S-On. If you're S-Off, just run the RUU as is.
If that doesn't work, come back here.
Edit: Magnum responded while I was still typing. Listen to him.
And to respond your question, the RUU is run from the bootloader screen, so you're exactly where you need to be.

Okay my bootloader is locked. The issues started some time between flashing stock recover and relocking the bootloader. It says Tampered Relocked Security Warning if that means anything.
Now I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU and fastboot flash zip firmware.zip when it is flashing the zip in RUU it says
targeted reported max download size
sending zip
OKAY
Writing zip
(bootloader) signature checking
FAILED
Is there anything to be done from here or should I just take it to the carrier store to see if they can fix it or should I just send it in for repiar to HTC?

This one.
Download the RUU that matches the software/firmware version you already have installed. Connect your phone & computer via Fastboot USB mode, then double-click the RUU file to start the install process (if the directions to the RUU differ, use the ones posted for the particular RUU).

Is your phone the HK or non-HK version? Go to the link below and download the RUU again. Follow the directions for the manual update.

Okay I will do. I am going to give it another shot if that doesn't work I guess I will just make a trip to the Sprint store in the morning. If I can't get the RUU to work do you think Sprint will be able to do anything? Or should I just pay the fee and have it repaired by HTC?

Sprint should be able to fix it. Having said that, you don't need to try and run the RUU from a command line. Double-click the RUU file from your desktop to start the installer, then follow the prompts on your computer as they appear.

I have a question im on a stock rooted rom with no system changes except for the boot up sound which i restored. I flashed the stock recovery and then tried to take the OTA but it failed about a quarter of the way through. would my best bet be to just flash the firmware and flash a 4.4.4 stock rom with the eye feature when available or do I just do a RUU? Im just trying to keep phone up to date with stock rom. any suggestions?

Edit: See post #19.
Magnum_Enforcer said:
Currently there is no stock rooted ROM for 4.4.4. You can update your firmware if you'd like and then wait for someone to publish a stock rooted ROM. Otherwise you can troubleshoot the reason you can't install the OTA and go from there.

So I am trying to return to stock unrooted but when I was trying to find the right RUU to run, I saw that I had no OS build number so I didn't know which one to run. I ran one and soft bricked but was able to recover. Have any of you guys had this happen before? Do any of you guys know a way that I could return to stock? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure why you have no OS. You need to lock your bootloader with fastboot (since you are s-on) and then run the RUU. I'd use this one (first link in OP):

Thanks for responding. I already tried that and it doesn't work since I have no OS build number, I can't run a RUU. When I ran it the first time, it wouldn't let me get past the part after it erase everything because my RUU build numbers didn't match my build numbers so I was soft bricked for a while.

So about 6 months ago a friend wanted to root his sprint m8, i had a tmobile one at the time and rooted it and s-off'd it successfully so i did his phone for him, however firewater didn't work for s-off and he didn't want to pay the 25 for sunshine. fast forward to yesterday and he wanted to go back to stock to turn in his phone for an upgrade, so i tried to restore his stock nandroid, but he deleted it. so then i attempted to relock the bootloader and flash the ruu. The ruu failed, and now im stuck in fastboot, twrp is gone, so i can't get a backup restored. I'm hoping their is some other way i can can return his phone to stock. I feel stuck and out of my depth, so i'm hoping someone can help, thanks.

You say the RUU failed...
Any error message?
As much info as you can give would be better.
Yeah it boots into the black screen with silver htc logo and it starts to run and then the error pops up and says "Error 1555 unknown error the rom update utility cannot update your android phone. please get the correct rom update utility and try again."

No, that's where I initially got the first RUU, when it failed i tried to use an older one and the same thing happened. I used this one. http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_426232_signed_2.exe Which was the very top one for sprint, non hk. and I locked the bootloader again so it would work.

If the phone is s-on you cannot flash an older RUU.
Make sure you drivers are installed correctly.
Make sure you are using a USB2 port.
Post the info from bootloader please...really just the hboot version.
Post a copy of getvar all also please.

ok so hboot version says 3.19.0.0000, i am on a usb 2.0 port, i am not sure how to paste my copied text from the cmd prompt into this box so i just pasted it to a .txt file and attached that and it has all the getvar all info. thanks for the help.
Everything is current according to the getvar...go ahead and remove it as it contains the imei #
The latest RUU should work.
Maybe try downloading Sync Manager to update the drivers or try a different PC/usb port.
Low and behold i was in a 3.0 port lmao... smh... so you just saved me beating my head against the wall for god knows how much longer, thanks for the help, the ruu is working fine now:fingers-crossed:
