Why did you use a 2 year old method to change MID ? and why change the MID at All ?
Step 6:
When you start your command prompt follow the steps in the picture below. PLEASE BE PATIENT!! After flashing the ENG HBOOT your HTC One will not boot up but you'll just get a gray spotted screen. Your device is not bricked. You can still use adb commands to write the model ID and CID even with a gray screen. WHEN REBOOTING HOLD DOWN POWER BUTTON FOR A FEW SECONDS. You might have to press and hold power button and volume down button when rebooting your phone.

Thanks for replying.I was using the RUU to get back to stock but it was stuck at checking headers 4% installation.I googled it and found the method was to match the MID and CID to that of Custom ROM extracted from RUU.Guess i made a mistake for not checking if the method is old or new. Everytime i write fastboot oem rebootRUU the system reboots.I had Hboot 1.54

your phone was Google play edition ... I hope you did not relock the bootloader, their is no way to unlock a bootloader on the GPe
the fastboot flash zip aman.zip may have been the fatal mistake. If you can not flash another hboot over it your screwed as far as I can tell.
Maybe @alray or @Danny201281 or @nkk71 can help you

Even if you had your own reason to change the MID I don't understand why you took the risk to use this method even if its clearly mentioned in the OP you shouldn't:
MOD EDIT
Seems this guide, if not properly followed will cause a (soft)brick. Also there are more up to date guides.
[how to]change your MID without the eng bootloader
[TOOL] MID change without ENG HBOOT | Aroma GUI
In the interests of all users the guide is hidden, below.
If you wish to follow it go ahead. If you brick your handset, you were warned.

The device should already be rebooted to that screen before attempting to change the MID.
Did you rebooted between "fastboot flash zip arman.zip" and "fastboot oem writecid PN0720000". It looks like you tried to change your MID when the phone was still in RUU mode but it must be done when in bootloader mode (when the screen is messed up).
And you will obviously need to use a RUU.exe like said in the guide (not so clearly I agree) : "Run the ruu" ( as opposed to flash the ruu) is insinuating that you must use a ruu.exe.

I am trying to run the RUU .exe but it is not recognizing my device as i am using windows 8.1. I also have the latest HTC Sync manger and drivers.It seems that ill have to give it a go in Windows 7.

What happened to the Google play RUU.zip I linked you too?
Your not ready to flash the Developer RUU yet.
Get the phone back working with the RUU I linked first.
I use Windows 8.1 every day it only affects HTC One with hboot 1.44
You have hboot 1.54 it should work fine

I see potential problem.
1- asked you a question in post #5, you did not answered.
2- Told you have to use a ruu.exe so why are you still trying to "fastboot oem rebootRUU" ? You must change your MID while booted in bootloader (when you can see that messed gray screen). Once you have correct CID and MID combination, launch the RUU.exe (with the phone still bootloader mode, not in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" mode).

Why is your version-main now 7.17.1540.7 when it was 5.11.1700.3? The 7.17.1540.7 ruu flashed partially?
So if I understand right, you are trying to flash the 7.17.1540.7 ruu.exe when booted in bootloader mode and gives you the error to re-try with the correct rom update utility?

My version main on my first try with ruu was 5.11.1700.3 and it said ENG boot .Then after running the ruu install ,it didnt recognize my device and so after that i installed Windows 7 and now it fails at updating data (1/5) and says ,please use the correct ROM utility.

try with this RUU:http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_brightstarus_wwe_1-29-1540-3-exe/. Then if it doesn't work there might be another option but im not 100% confident it will work. I think the 7.17.1540.7 ruu.exe won't flash because the hboot version is to old (1.43). We used 1.xx.xxx.xx RUU when converting phones using this procedure back in 2013, no one ever attempted to flash a 7.xx.xxx.x ruu while on the (1.43) eng hboot yet, you're the first one.
And btw, you'll definitively need to use win 7 as long as your hboot is not a least version 1.54.

glad to know everything is fine now. Don't forget if you want to convert your device again to another version, use the method clsA posted at first page. Very much easier and safer. The whole procedure is now done using a GUI (aroma installer) from a custom recovery.

[Q] HTC One relocked, can't flash (signature error)

Hey All,
I hope you guys can help me, I'm completely lost in all these threads and posts. I've spent hours on this, literally hours...
I have a HTC One M7 (bought in Belgium) which I wanted to return to stock because of a faulty speaker (I just rooted the standard image). So I relocked the bootloader to flash an RUU. I tried flashing several European RUUs from the xda collection, but nothing worked. I also tried a zipped firmware, and it also fails. I always get this error:
FAILED remote: 12 signature verify fail
I'm stuck in fastboot, it doesn't boot into the OS anymore, only fastboot.

I try to flash the RUU Zip M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.16_R_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_318486_signed_2_4_decrypted.zip
Strange thing is, when I check the zip's android-info:
modelid: PN0710000
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
...
So I don't get anymore why it would fail a signature check...
I also tried flashing a newer version, this didn't work either. What makes matters worse, the battery keeps uncharging as I continue to struggle...
Tell it to me straight, doctor... Is my HTC doomed to be a paperweight?
What do you mean "flash a RUU" ? Is it you try to fastboot flash the RUU ? It won't work that way.
Checking this : http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7
I see there is only one RUU that may work for you : RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe
What you need to do:
1- in fastboot mode - relock the bootloader : run command fastboot oem lock (you did this already)
2- in fastboot mode - flash/run/double click the RUU; follow the updater instruction - next,update,bla,bla,bla until it finish

First of all, thanks a bunch for taking the time to respond.
I'm currently downloading the proposed RUU and will try flashing it.
I don't understand, however, why my downloaded RUUs wouldn't work since the CID and model corresponded?
I tried both methods: using the RUU to flash and using the fastboot oem rebootRUU > flash zip.

When your device is S-ON, you need a correct version RUU i.e 1.29.401.16 (which is not available, I believe), so you should go for a higher version not lower version.
I'm new to HTC One too so not so sure about fastboot oem rebootRUU, but I believe it needs a S-OFF device to work but yours is S-ON.

Search for ERROR 158 may help you.
What I understand ERROR 158 maybe because the bootloader is not relocked, not using USB2.0, maybe also a modified hboot (usually the one that remove the red text warning) is installed prior to running the RUU, not running the RUU in Admin Privilege mode.
Maybe someone else have better idea, have to wait for that.

- No, I locked using fastboot oem lock with USB cable.
maybe also a modified hboot (usually the one that remove the red text warning) is installed prior to running the RUU
- Afaik, I never installed a custom hboot myself. I get the red text warning at the white HTC screen.
not running the RUU in Admin Privilege mode.
- Nope, the RUU runs with admin privileges in Win 7
Maybe someone else have better idea, have to wait for that.
- Let's hope so :laugh:
This is what my phone looks like atm:

(can't post pics/links yet, sorry)
Please guys, help a fella out... I will be forever grateful
Update: I unlocked my phone again with the unlock bin from HTCDev and now it boots again...
I suppose I need to do S-OFF with revone since I'm at 1.44, but unsure. Damn this stuff is confusing.
You will need to flash new firmware I saw a hierarchy of htc one's Ruu firmware list on android revolution site.
Just check in the name of the correct ruu you downloaded and try to match the numbers of your Ruu with the list given there. I hope it may help you or if you get confused Pm me.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
OK, I solved it.
So I did an S-OFF with revone, then locked and removed tampered (also revone).
Then I flashed a good RUU. It took ages to find a good one, followed another thread (2325010) on the forum which I can't link because of the restrictions .
Then I used thread 1672425 to put S-ON again and now my One it back to full stock!

[Q] Can't S-ON?

After the struggle of finding a way to revert my Vodafone Australia branded HTC One back to it's former, virgin glory..
I have finally locked the bootloader, set my CID back and got a stock ROM and recovery - thanks to Guru Stock Reset ROMs, which is the closest thing I could get to being stock as there are no available RUU's.
But the last and final hurdle is S-ON. My Googling tells me all it takes is this fastboot command: "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
But when I throw that in a command prompt, all I get is an error:
(bootloader) partition hboot signature error
(bootloader) writesecureflag: partitions siganture failed
OKAY [ 1.624s]
finished. total time: 1.625s
Could anyone please help? I have to return my diseased pink/purple-tinted, crappy camera issue!

you have a modded hboot in there, so you're obviously not as stock as you'd like to think. better you rethink your strategy, and/or check my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082

Damn dude, how far am I from a brick? :S
and you are absolutely correct, I completely forgot about my hboot being modified at 1.55.
It's been awhile since I tampered around with my phone.
Is it then possible to downgrade my hboot to 1.44, with my current set-up? and continue to s-on?
I thank you immensely.

Luckily the signature check kept you away from a brick, had you been able to S-On with a modded hboot, then you would have had a brick.

Is it then possible to downgrade my hboot to 1.44, with my current set-up? and continue to s-on?

I'm not sure what method you used to return to stock, but obviously hboot is not stock, and so could other things as well; I would recommend following my guide, especially if you intend on going S-On.
If you do want to follow my guide, post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n), and I'll let you know which files you need.

no offense taken
but you have PN0714000 + VODAP021 and firmware 3.62.401.1 (.401. = WWE unbranded), so you need to get your firmware correct too; inline with the ROM you are now on.
and personally, I don't recommend going S-Off to S-On on hboot 1.55, sometimes it works fine, but sometimes it triggers "tamper detected" and the tampered is back (can't say when/if it will happen to you)

Ugh, more complications.. back to the drawing board it is!
So looks like all I need is firmware and hboot?
But do you reckon, the repair center will pay any attention to these attributes? I've heard all they check is S-ON, tamper flags and unlocked bootloaders?

hboot will be part of the firmware.zip,
and I don't know what they will check, but you may have a problem when it comes back -> if you're S-On, LOCKED bootloader with firmware not matching your MID and CID, then chances are high that HTCDev won't unlock your phone.

I'm assuming you used Guru ROM 2.24.980.2 ? i made a quick search but came up empty on the firmware for that. you could pull it from the OTA file if you find it; within the OTA.ZIP is another firmware.zip <- that's signed original firmware

You do realize those errors/safe-guards are actually saving you!!
There's nothing wrong with your CID, so set it back to what it's supposed to be.
And the reason it's not working (actually it is), you are flashing the wrong firmware.zip, the one you are flashing is 28294 KB (probably a modded one), whereas the one you should be flashing (from the link you posted earlier) is 41197KB.
now put the correct firmware.zip in your adb/fastboot folder and flash it, fastboot doesn't use anything from your sdcard, it uses the files on your PC.

[Q] Cyanogen to clean sense 6 kitkat

Hi,
I`ve had my fun tuning my htc one, but i`ve no clue how to get it to normal m7 phone with sense 6 lol.
I`ve got TWRP and running the OTA rom does not do anything. Am I trying with the incorrect rom or what?
Thanks for any feedback!

First, we will need to see a fastboot getvar all with the imei and serialno removed. This is needed to know which variant/version of the HTC One M7 you have, so we can point you in the right direction.
Second, OTA's are update files for stock roms with stock recovery for specific versions. If you don't have the correct combination then it will not run properly.
Third, here is a guide for going back to stock. You probably don't want to go to 100% stock but it shows you the proper steps.

I can not find a RUU for your phone but I did find a GURU Stock Reset: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-771-3-zip/
Guru Reset file are simply Stock ROM’s packaged with the nice graphical interface of the aroma installer. They include the stock radio and stock recovery, so if you are still S-on then this is best way to reset to stock. It can’t change your firmware but it can get the stock ROM installed with the stock recovery so that you can get OTA updates and it should also remove the Tampered text from your bootloader.

There is an OTA at this site for your phone.
I would try to get S-OFF before doing the Stock Reset it would give you more flexibility. If firewater doesn't work to get S-OFF then view this post about a service in the UK.

After installing that GURU stock reset, and updating to sense 5.5, the phone stuck in a reboot loop.
I can get to TWRP within recovery, but I cant push any ROM to the phone so I can use it. Tried the push command, in fastboot mode and command prompt prints message device not found. What am I missing?

Try the sideload method. Make sure HTC Drivers are installed and ADB is already working. If not, then check out this FAQ Post.
1. Reboot into TWRP
2. In TWRP, hit ADVANCED and find SIDELOAD
3. Swipe to start the SIDELOAD
4. Open a CMD Prompt window and Change Directories to where your adb.exe is
5. Type adb devices and it should show your device connected and say SIDELOAD
6. Your ZIP file should already be in your adb folder
7. You are now ready to push the zip.....
8. Type adb sideload nameofzip.zip
9. Wait until it says 100% and reboot back into recovery to flash the ROM
10. If hitting power does not make the screen come one, type adb reboot recovery
11. If adb reboot recovery does not work, hold power and volume down until it reboots to fastboot then go to recovery

You can't use that guru reset file, it's too low for your hboot version, the only way you can use it is to downgrade your hboot and the only way you can do that is to get s-off, the otas are putting you into a bootloop because they are trying to upgrade your hboot and as you already have the latest hboot they can't complete that task.
Your stuck with custom roms unless you can get your phone s-off, or find a nandroid backup of your latest rom.

Second, I have had problems running RUU because the hboot was too high. Since, you are S-OFF you can downgrade your hboot then install the RUU. This post will explain the procedure. When the RUU executes it will change your hboot to that of the RUU.

Well your on 401 which is WWE Europe, same as the hboot you flashed, so you need to flash an ruu or a firmware which is 4.xx.401.xx however I see what your problem is, you have super cid, 401 android-info.txt doesn't have super cid in it, change your cid to HTC__001 then reboot bootloader and try flash the firmware zip again.

How can I remove the tampered state and return this to locked? All the guides I've been able to find only show how to do it for HBOOT 1.44 up to 1.55.

you first need to achieve s-off and then follow nkk71's guide to return stock (link in my signature)
I'm almost there but because I'm on hboot 1.44 and using Win 8.1, I can't move to s-on.
I'll try the final step (fastboot oem writesecureflag 3) from my work pc tomorrow which is on win 7.

you can use a linux live usb (instructions are in the FAQ section of my guide)
how were you able to do all the other steps with Win8.1??; if you were following my guide the hboot downgrade would only be one of the first steps.
I used your guide to get back to 1.44 then revone to remove tampered and unlocked states. I also used firewater to get s-off for part of the steps.
I didn't realise i could downgrade the hboot so that's basically where i was going wrong.

depending on which method you are using, once hboot is downgraded to 1.44, that would only be the first "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip", the second one also needs to be completed
I'm not sure at what stage and method you are at, but going s-on sounds like a very bad idea at the moment
Currenttly I have ARHD 53 installed.
Bootloader is *** LOCKED *** with hboot 1.44.
My CID is 1111111 and I'll be using an o2 UK RUU.
The linux live cd method is handy but I'll just wait til I get to work tonight to work in bootloader from my win7 machine there.
According to this guide: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...actory-settings-for-warranty-repairs-0149204/ I only need to get back to s-on then flash the RUU.
but according to your guide I have to flash RUU first then s-on is optional?

my guide uses decrypted ruu.zip(s), which can only be flashed with S-OFF. and I leave going from S-OFF to S-ON as the last step, just in case something didn't work correctly.
if you are going to use the 4.20.206.16 RUU.EXE then you can/should go S-ON first, and hope it works (the 4.xx RUUs have been known to sometimes give trouble depending on the PC configuration)

for O2, you'd need to use the CWM restore method, which is a bit longer.
But here's a thought, why not stay S-OFF, try the 4.20 RUU.EXE on the Win7 PC you have, if it works then you can downgrade hboot again, go S-ON and run it again.
(because I don't recommend you go from S-Off to S-On on hboot above 1.54, as i mentioned in my guide)
if you do want to use the CWM method of my guide, let me know, and I'll link the files you'll need
EDIT: remember to change your cid back to the original, before any of this

You are locked / relocked, that comes later in CWM restore method.
If you don't wanna use unlock token, check the last few pages in my thread about masked firmware and adb commands to unlock

[Q] (Q) Lollipop soft brick help please

Hi all,
My friend handed me his HTC One M7 the other day and it was looping at the beginning Android / HTC screen from boot, he took the lollipop update but it failed somewhere along the way and this is how it's ended up.
The device is not rooted and is not bootloader unlocked, i've tried to flash a few RUU files to bring it back to life but the vast majority of them only get as far as 1/5 checking header.
I'm more than happy to root the device and install a custom rom but I wasn't sure if it needed to be bootable to do so, afaik the bootloader unlocking doesn't require to have the device on, infact I don't think you need to have the OS to get a custom recovery either? Anyway, i'd like for him to retain his warranty so if there's a way for him to get it back to stock HTC then i'd prefer to do that.
If that's not possible and unlocking the bootloader, installing a custom rom is then I'll do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
PS: I have had the m7 before but I didn't have it when android 5 was available so i'm a little out of touch with what may go wrong.

Connect the phone to your computer, Boot it in bootloader mode select "fastboot" mode and make sure "fastboot usb" is shown in red. Open a fastboot command prompt:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
post the output here but make sure to hide the imei and serialno before posting.
Thanks mate I'm in bed at the moment but will do after work tomorrow,, Appreciate your help, im guessing this is to see what firmware is installed? Or hboot? I'll come back tomorrow, Many thanks.

Firmware, hboot, CID, MID, S-ON/S-OFF, M7_UL/M7_U
Checking header 1/5..ill give you a clue...your ruu that you going to flash,it has to match firmware that is on it now...as you are s-on,you cant change firmware.so,try with other ruu's,some that maches firmware number..not older,not newer.
And like others said,give them "getvar all" info.

Actually I didn't flash one of these but the version does ring a bell. Downloading now mate.

I'm 100% confident it will work. Just make sure to use the fastboot version linked in that thread which is a version made by HTC. Only this version of fastboot will work to flash this ruu since the "normal" fastboot can't handle the file size of that ruu. Also make sure your bootloader is locked or relocked.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

Dont forget you'll need the dll files in the same folder where you have htc's fastboot and the ruu. You can simply replace fastboot.exe with htc's fastboot in your sdk folder were the required dll files are

you have downloaded the 7.19.401.102 version. You have to use the 7.19.401.2 version hence why the "check ID fail". .102 version is for M7_U and .2 version is for M7_UL (the one you have).

Ah, idiot. Sorry
Couldn't see a european one though? This device is unlocked, wouldn't it have the providers software on otherwise?
Ok downloading, sorry mate, my eyes are failing me, getting old.
Ok so I think it's all done mate, looks like it's going to load up, I mean the script has finished running but the green bar is still onscreen.
