Hello,
I'm currently running the SPRINT HTC M8 with Android version 5.0.1 (upgraded through OTA) with root and bootloader unlocked i think. I was just curious if i could flash that rom or if there was another rom that was pure lolipop that i can flash with s-on as i dont think we can do s-off right now??

Yes you can flash it. Being S-on you may need to flash the kernel separately from the ROM itself.
Just a normal flashing of the rom?
Wipe data system cache dalik then flash the rom? would i just flash the kernel after like i was flashing gapps? also is gapps included or do i need to flash that after the kernel?

HI guys
i have a htc one m7_u on 4.2.2 stock rom international version fully rooted and bootloader unlocked
the problem is my htc one is S-on and i need it S-off so i can flash custom roms

the problem is how can i flash a custom rom when i have an s-on ??
and please i need a link for the 4.3 stock rom for htc one international version odexed please i cant find a clue in the forums

You don't need S-Off to flash a custom ROM...
But it's not clear what you actually want to do - flash a custom ROM? Get the 4.3 stock ROM?

@pintabit is right, you only need an unlocked bootloader + a custom recovery to flash a custom rom. S-OFF is required for some GPE roms only. And some roms require a specific recovery version to be flashed correctly i.e ARHD require at least TWRP 2.6.3.3
Yup...be more specific with your question, and you are more likely to get a solution

I'd like convert my HTC One M7 5.0.1 back to Sense. Is this possible using an RUU file. What are the steps involved?
Done it a few times. Depends on your CID, I changed mine to supercid so that I can use most regions.
Change hboot to 1.44 (not 100% sure if is a must or not but I do!)
Flash Sense ruu with fastboot. You might need an old Jellybean release first.
Flash custom recovery
flash root (supersu or whatever)
Flash custom rom to upgrade to Kitkat or stock rom
Flash latest firmware to update radio etc.
That's pretty much it.

I just wanted to say thank you. I didn't realize it but I thought I could flash any RUU for any carrier so long as I had the correct CID. Turns out you can't do that as the firmware and etc are different for each carrier. I bought a TELUS carrier HTC ONE but it was unlocked and I use on Rogers. I needed the Stock ROM RUU for Telus. Worked like a charm.
Thanks again
My device is bootloader unlocked and rooted, TWRP installed, do i need S-Off to flash any custom rom?

Short answer...no you don't need to be s-off.
Long answer... most newer roms require your firmware to be updated to the latest for everything to work correctly, with s-off it's a lot easier to update your firmware then it is when you are s-on.
Hi. Any example of a rom to flash without s off?? Many thanks.!
You can flash ANY ROM without having to be S-off.
Hey,
i'm going to try some custom roms on my gf's One M7, unfortunately she updated her M7 to Lollipop so i can't make an S-ON (right?!) except sunshine, which is not free. Anyway, i think S-ON is problematic but still ok, but which rom can i flash with S-ON?
Only stock based? Or any aosp based, but not higher Android than 5.0 ? I would like to try SkyDragon (Sense 7) but not sure if i brick the phone
Same s-on but different problem can't return to stock

If the phone is now running a lollipop firmware, you can flash any rom you'd like. S-On doesn't matter.

Even the Lollipop 5.1 (e.g. from M7 GPE) or 6.0 unofficial releases (if they are released/ported for M7)?
How about flashing cutom kernels (They will boot?) ?
Sorry, i'm really noob about possibilities with s-on (some time ago i had htc, but s-off'ed it)

System, boot(kernel), radio and recovery partitions are not secured so you don't need soff to flash a rom, kernel. Radio or recovery, you only need an unlocked bootloader.
How can i downgrade to stock 5.1? should i use Ruu or just flash 5.1 rom?
Simply flash the 5.1 ROM. If S-off you can run the 5.1 RUU.
