I have to revert back to stock android version. Could anybody please suggest me which version of RUU should i use to install stock ROM to my device?

1- relocking was not the wisest decision, better unlock again
2- to install custom rom, you only need unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. S-Off is NOT needed
3- to get s-off on hboot 1.55, use http://rumrunner.us/ (with compatible ROM, I think ARHD 31.6 should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023)

use latest TWRP (2.6.3.3 or above), i believe CWM hasn't been updated for 4.4 ROMs yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
verify MD5 of twrp before flashing!!

TWRP should work, maybe need to format. I always use the HTC One Developer Edition RUU zip that can be found on HTC Dev site as well as the numerous threads around XDA.

You should really look into updating your software, since the m7 is on 4.4.2 officially now
Anyways, flash the oldest radio from here (the initial release one, baseband 1.00.20.0315), and that might fix your issue.

OK, since you have a custom recovery with stock,
a) it's pretty much better to be on a custom ROM since you can update easier.
b) If you want to be on stock, it's best to back everything up and run a RUU.
If you choose option a), flash this recovery, and install a custom ROM such as ViperOne.
If you choose option b), follow the instructions on this thread.

I need help getting custom ROM to work!!!!

How come Android Revolution ROMs keep putting my phone into a bootloop? It makes my phone boot into TWRP Recovery. I have tried both Android Revolution HD 90.1 ( (Android 5.0.2 Lollipop + HTC Sense 6.0) and the stock HTC system dump (Android 5.0.2 + HTC Sense 6.0 | Latest: 7.15.401.1) without success. I just want to know why!

If you flash in twrp you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot in order to boot because your s-on. And also what you are running I believe are gsm based roms. In which case they will never boot.

ARHD is not compatible with Sprint.
By flashing it your partitions are messed up now.
You will need to RUU to fix and stay in the Sprint section when choosing a rom.

Yep says it several times in the OP.

I can't seem to get any other ROM to boot except CyanogenMod and LiquidSmooth. CM is completely stable while the latest version of LS is a bit buggy. They both absolutely refuse to acceept any APN settings. I am using Ting's service right now and I can't use it on these ROMs.... I tried flashing several stock Sprint ROMs for the HTC Onr M7 and none of them will boot. They'll boot if I flash the boot.img like someone here suggested but it doesn't help. It will go to the desktop, however, the screen is completely black. Is there anyway to flash a stock ROM properly? RUU's don't work either.

My HTC One is CDMA (Sprint).
First try updating by going to Settings ---> About ---> Software Updates. If that doesn't work try the following:
This Lollipop update process is ONLY for the Sprint HTC One M7.
First flash the firmware via Fastboot: 6.16.651.2_firmware.zip >>> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934523626
And then install the RUU for 6.16.651.2 via Bootloader RUU Menu:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_414036_signed_2.exe
If you don't know how to do these things, then you shouldn't attempt to. You could end up hard-bricking your phone.

Hello again,
I have some experience using fastboot. The thing is that my HTC M7 originally was Sprint CDMA but the person I bought it from he assured me that he unlocked the GSM.

I guess my HTC M7 is similiar to yours, but I want to be sure before flashing it. I have a backup already just in case.
Thanks a lot.

Your phone is for sprint as it says m7wls you can use gsm service perhaps since you say its unlocked meaning Sim unlock always look for Roms that are m7spr or M7wls based I also suggest s-off so you don't have any complications with flashing

It has been a little bit difficult to S-off my HTC, since it has Hboot 1.57. So far I've tried Revone and Rum Runner without success.
Firewater seems to be down and I'm tempted to pay for SunShine, but I'm not really sure about paying for an application that might not work.
My HTC originally came with Android 4.4.2 and I got a notification to upgrade to lollipop via OTA, but I was suggested to make a backup just in case. So I had to root my phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP in order to get my system backup, but due to the previous procedures I can no longer upgrade to lollipop.
Right now all I want is to follow my original plan by installing a stock rom and try to update to lollipop via OTA.
You kindly suggested me to s-off my cellphone, but I've seen some videos on youtube in which they install stock roms with s-on:

Never mind guys
Finally I upgraded my HTC to Lollipop.
I freaked out because it didn't boot up after flashing RUU.zip
I decided to go out for dinner and come back and try as many times as needed. Fortunately I realized that I misspelled the command fastboot reboot-bootloader I had forgotten to type the hyphen. Then I reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my pc, tried another usb port and used the RUU.exe. Now my HTC M7 seems to be working perfectly
Thank you very much guys.

M8 HK lollipop 5.0.1 downgrade to 4.4.4

I have purchased a m8 Sprint HK lollipop and would like to downgrade to 4.4.4, should I flash a stock ruu 4.4.4 so i can run sunshine. This phone is s-on no root no nothing fully stock boot loader locked.

Another user posted that they were able to use sunshine with a lower software, but you can't run an RUU to do it. You will still have to unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery. BACKUP your working ROM. (NANDROID). You can then flash a stock 4.4.4 ROM and see if you can run Sunshine.
That being said, I can't see why that theory hasn't been tested. The Sunshine devs are working on an update and it will work with Lollipop. It should be here soon if you want to wait it out.
Also, s-off is not required to install custom roms or kernels or run official RUU for the version you are on or above but is to run any Update Utility to downgrade..
Someone else can chime in and post whether or not they have had success with running a stock 4.4.4 and if they had success with Sunshine. In the meantime, it would not hurt to try it out and post back.
(I do not remember if a locked bootloader is required for Sunshine, if it is you might want to wait for the update) I would suggest against flashing a stock 4.4.4 and locking the bootloader.

You cannot downgrade via RUU while S-on. You can flash a ROM with an older software version but you won't be able to downgrade firmware. You'll need to wait for version 3.0 of Sunshine to be released before you S-off.

I'm in the same situation than THESTONEDONE2014, but I have the HTC One M8 (Sprint) Non HK running 5.01 lollipop. I've rooted my phone. I need to unlock the SIM and the bands to be able to used in my carrier outside of US. All the tutorials are based on 4.4.4 and not in 5.01. So I would like to come back to 4.4.4.
Do you know if there is any way to do it with a S-ON device?. Sunshine and firewater didn't work for me.

HTC One M7 Radio Change According to Region.

Hi everybody.
I tried many things from the other threads and tutorials but none of them worked for me. And now I am opening this thread so anyone could give me a light on this matter.
I have a HTC One M7 that I bought in Orlando, it was supposed to be the international version of the phone, but when I got to Brazil the phone only works 3G/HSPA or older tecnologies than that.
Reading the forums I found out that I can change the Radio version of it in order to properly work the 4G using Brazils LTE frequency.
At first it was a problem to gain S-OFF on it, since it was HBOOT 1.57 and stuff.
When I finally got S-OFF I proceded to change the Radio.
I download many Radios from different countries of which supposedly should be compatible with Brazils LTE Technology (Here LTE Frequency is 2600Mhz - Making Russia, India, Argentina and a few more countries compatible) and installed all of them.
None of the Radios I installed (via TWRP installer) did any change to the frequency it is using.
Does anyone know how I can really change it? Or if I am doing it right via TWRP installer.
Thanks for the help.

First s-off is not required to flash radio, only an unlocked bootloader. You can't change the frequencies of the M7, are you sure your variant support LTE? Post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno before posting).
As for your "what should I buy next" poll, I would suggest to ask in one of the dedicated thread for that. This is an HTC forum so (almost) everyone here are HTC' fan, everyone will tell you to get the M9

S-off is required to flash and use radios designed for other cid's. Band enablement is possible with some nvram magic IIRC. Search around on xda and there are a few how-to threads.

I always thought that the radio, boot and recovery partitions were not locked with s-on on the M7 unlike some other HTC devices hence why they can be flashed from a custom recovery.

Already read this somewhere too but never seen anyone did it on the M7. Anyway thanks for your comment, will try to find more info about this :good:

You might be right on the bands, now that I search it seems the guides are for m8. That said, it certainly "is" possible, someone would just need to research and document the correct values.

Well I guess you are using windows 8 or windows 10 or your notebook? These windows versions doesn't play nice with hboot 1.44/fastboot.
Anyway I can see from your bootloader info that your model is the M7_U which is equipped with the MSM8215 modem = No LTE radio. You'll only get 3G and HSPA+ with this variant.

You might be right on the bands, now that I search it seems the guides are for m8. That said, it certainly "is" possible, someone would just need to research and document the correct values.

Anyhow, regardless the S-On or S-Off I should be able to change the baseband.
When I install a new Radio the bootloader shows that it is another Radio Number.
I am starting to think that it might be ROM related, since it is not possible to select the baseband when I go to *#*#4636#*#*
It only shows Automatic or USA Band.

No its hardware related, the M7_U (unlike the M7_UL) is not equipped with an LTE modem.

Windows 10. Despite it works perfectly smooth and updates all the drivers automaticaly and fast. It lags when connecting something on USB. (at least for my notebook)

Wow! You solved the mistery real quick!
My only doubt is why would they sell a phone saying it is 4G LTE when it isn´t.
Unfortunatly I did not get the chance to test it in USA with a SimCard from a carrier from there.

The M7_U never was announced as an LTE phone from HTC, Its a GSM/HSPA variant
The M7_UL is the GMS/HSPA/LTE variant.

Conclusion:
it won't be possible to switch it on/off in settings just like that. Enabling LTE on such units will be either not possible at all, or it will be possible by flashing M7_UL RUU to S-OFF device.

Flashing a M7_UL RUU will not enables LTE on M7_U, many of us already tried.

Then I think I bought by mistake, thinking it would be all the same!
Does the same happen to the M9?
I know the Iphone 6 works for all regions unlikly the iphone 5.
My mom bought on Iphone 6 in NY and brought it to Brazil and worked perfectly - 2G, 3G and 4G.

Not sure better to ask in the M9 forums.

Your M7_U not working on LTE in your country isn't a region issue, If you had pick the M7_UL even if it was an European or US version it would have probably worked fine in your country as long as your carriers LTE bands are supported by the phone. M7_U simply doesn't have any LTE modem regardless of the carrier/region the phone will be used on.

I thought it would not work here.
The Iphone 5 bought in USA don´t work LTE here. And thoso bought here works normally.
I tought it would be the same for M7 and changing the Radio would make it work.
But now I understood that the M7_U is not LTE compatible regardless the region.
