fastboot getvar version-main empty

Hey everyone
Please anyone can help me to figure it out
I bought new htc one somedays ago with sense 5. And then i convert it into GE phone.
But now i want to return it into stock condition so when i try to find my main version always it shows the blank
Version-main:
Then nothing is showing.
Mine htc one is international version M7 AND when i flash the stock rom on my phone after relock my bootloader it stuck on signature verification then it show 12 signature verification failed.
Please anyone can help

Are you still S-OFF?

No my s-on.

So you didn't use the full conversion RUU, just a custom ROM based on the GE base?

yes u are right i used the custom based rom and flashed with twrp.

Seeing as your CID is HTC__J15 you're going to have to find a stock backup matching that CID

Were you trying to flash firmware for you to loose version-main
Anyway, HTC__J15 (as far as i know) is a .401. Middle East variant, I have CWM backup of 2.24.401.2, but that's for the M7_U model, not M7_UL model which would be 2.24.401.1.
Do you know what firmware version you should be on? I think the signed x.xx.401.x firmware works with your phone. Since your hboot is 1.54, I would assume it's either 2.24.401.1 or 2.24.401.8.
This is from a signed 2.24.401.1 firmware:

You can't S-OFF as you're on HBOOT 1.54 so you can only flash a backup

To run an official RUU exe you can be S-On, but I haven't seen one for 2.24.401.x. And since you are S-On, you cannot run a 1.xx RUU to downgrade.
In theory, you could flash a signed 2.24.401.1 or 2.24.401.8 firmware package, which are available to get your firmware (main version) fully back. But with S-On, IF something goes wrong, you would have problems.
Anyway, what's your main purpose? If it's just to go back to Sense 5 Stock ROM, you could flash a generic 2.24.401.8 ROM.
Also, supposedly, S-Off for 1.54 should be coming in a while. Then you could S-Off and do pretty much anything you like.

With S-On, you will not be able to change your bootloader to "LOCKED" only "RELOCKED", so any service center will know you've unlocked your bootloader and could say your warranty is void (depends on the guys in the service center).
And as EddyOS said, no S-Off for 1.54 at the moment; rumours for 1.54 s-off are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474089

1- Flash it through CWM or TWRP, select stock as much as possible (for example without root).
2- You'll also need stock recovery, you can find one for 2.24.401.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463387
you flash this using "fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
3- relock your bootloader: "fastboot oem lock"
But before doing step 2 and 3, check you "fastboot getvar all" and see if it show the main version (ie firmware), if it's still missing, you have two choices (IMHO) either flash a signed 2.24.401.1 firmware (using fastboot in RUU mode) or send it back for warranty and hope it passes.
As for the TAMPERED sign, it should go away after you flash stock recovery (step 2) above, BUT it seems for some it does go away, and for others it doesn't. I haven't found conclusive results as to why it sometimes stays or why it goes away.

Finding the correct ruu

Hey,
I got S-OFF and want to reset my defice to full stock. I would like to use a ruu instead of a nandroid but I'm not sure with ruu to download. Does it matter or can I just download every ruu for my HTC__102 device if the number matches?

if you need bootloader to say "LOCKED" then you can follow my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
i recommend staying s-off, but if you intend on going s-on, then follow the guide exactly.

[Q] HELP with updating HTC One to 4.4...

Hello, I have a rooted international HTC One currently running 4.3 Android with Sense 5.0. I am trying to perform an OTA system update that I have received... I downloaded the new 4.4 Android (1.1 GB) and I have selected "Install Update". But when the phone restarts, it just enters recovery and opens TWRP by itself!
So then I try to flash the downloaded OTA file via TWRP, but that also fails... Does anyone know how I can get 4.4 on my HTC One? Thank you

You can't apply ota with a custom recovery, you need your stock recovery.

Depending on whats been done to the phone you can eather flash stock recovery and try the update from their or you have to ruu back to stock and take the update that way.
fastboot getvar all will tell you what stock recovery you need or what ruu to use

So would you recommend getting stock recovery following nkk71's guide in your signature, or should I just flash a 4.4 rom?

Do what cIsA said. Check the output of "fastboot getvar all". Look at your main-ver # and find the corresponding stock recovery. There is a thread in general section with a collection of stock recovery.
You can post the output of getvar here minus imei/sn and we will link you the correct recovery.

Okay so I ran a fastboot getvar all, and apparently there is no RUU for my device, because it is Latin American with a CID of HTC_332. (I searched almost everywhere)
Now, after flashing a 4.4 rom I downloaded, my HTC device wasn't turning on anymore (it was getting stuck at the HTC boot logo). So I restored from a backup I made in TWRP, and that didn't work either. So now my problem just got 1000x worse because of a mistake I just made now of completely wiping my device and the OS.
So for the moment I'll try to flash a new boot.img, get S-OFF again, and change the CID to 11111111 (as I have read) where I will then download a RUU I can use. I'll let you know what happens.

Whoa there.. No need to flash boot.IMG.
What's you're steps? I think you are about to make it worse
sent from my mobile device

Okay well I'm in a tight situation atm.
My phone is completely wiped, with no OS or anything. The only thing I have access to is fastboot, and the TWRP bootloader. Also considering my phone is wiped, I believe I have S-ON as well.
So what is the first step to just get a boot going? (unless I'm not completely screwed that is..)
EDIT- I have successfully flashed Android Revolution to my phone from TWRP by pushing the zip via adb fastboot. Got my phone running again. Step 1 complete.
Step 2 now is to get S-OFF again...
Step 3- Change my CID to 11111111 using the SuperCID method (there is no RUU for my Latin American CID; HTC_332)
Step 4- Use an appropriate RUU to get 4.4 stock after I have changed my CID.
Before I continue with these steps, can anyone confirm with me if I am on the right path?

Step 2 - Confirmed.
Step 3 & Step 4 ... What is an appropriate RUU? You have not yet posted a fastboot getvar all output yet. (remove imei)

I had the same cid when I bought mine. Irc, MID was PN0711000 with s.w. X.XX.599.X.
so he could use the 1.29.401.2 ruu on htc1guru but he have to change cid.

So yeah... there's no RUU as I said.
alray, in order to use that 1.29.401.2 RUU, what do I have to change my CID to?
EDIT: I'll just stick with your suggestion alray and stay with ARHD lol. (but in case I change my mind, what CID should I change to for that RUU?... so that I won't have to bump this thread or make a new one later)

These CID:
HTC__001
HTC__J15
HTC__A48
HTC__M27
are compatible with the 1.29.401.2 ruu.zip so i'll suggest you to use HTC__001 if you change your mind. Personally, I would stay on ARHD. No benefit to flash that RUU vs ARHD. ARHD is always up to date...

the variant error shows up when your OS in the bootloader and Software number inside the ROM doesnt match, you need to find a compatible ROM, the ROM you are using (3.63.707.3) is for India/Asia with cid HTC__038 and HTC__044 and MIDs PN0711000 and PN0714000 respectively, what's your Model ID? can you post the results of "fastboot getvar all" excluding your Serial No. and IMEI? if you can tell me your Model ID i can suggest the compatible stock ROM reset or RUU for your phone

can you gain s off using Rumrunner? because i cant find a stock Reset Guru Rom that matches your Model ID and CID, but there is an RUU for PN0711000 and HTC__J15 , it downgrades the OS so it requires s off , @nkk71 what do you think, man?

1- Haven't seen any guru resets like that for that
2- why bother? if he goes s-off, he can flash whatever he likes
3- it's always nice when someone actually says what they intend to do and why... custom rom, stock rom, rooted, non-rooted etc etc etc

At first, I dont want to s-off, want to return stock rom and get original OTA updates. But at the end, i went s-off and installed custom rom. However, if i find a solution. Try to s-on again, relock and want to use original rom.

When I check OTA it downlaods and gives me the variant system version error. I can't install with RUU either. What am I supposed to do?

Found a compatible RUU from the thread you gave. But couldn't flash the RUU zip, always got different errors.
Got sick of this after 11 hours of research and stuff. I've just SOFF'd my M7 with Sunshine, revert back to 1.29 (Sense 5 and 4.1.2 ) now installing all the firmwares one by one.
Thanks for your help mate.

did you relock bootloader and use the htc_fastboot.exe? then it should have worked just fine.
anyway, S-OFF is a much better thing to have imho, and since you're S-OFF you could consider changing the modelid to PN0710000; obviously it wont give you LTE (since the hardware is missing), but would allow you to get the "regular" .401. OTAs
but guess you wont need to worry about that for the time being, since PN0711000 is also on new version now.

you have s-off and super cid and most likely custom recovery
you need stock recovery and and the missing files from unlocking the bootloader. This is discussed 100's of times in the forums. Your choice is flash a RUU (loose everything) and take all the OTA updates. Or locate the stock recovery and missing files and restore them then take the OTA update.

Your problem here is the modelid (MID) is shown as a EU MID - PN0710000
and the correct MID for xx.x.708.x is PN0714000

Nothing ... until you fix the wrong MID
Or make a total change to EU version, then you can start with a EU RUU with lower version and do many OTA to the latest version.

open it in 7zip and extract the firmware.zip to your desktop
this has the stock recovery in it.
then back in 7zip you need the system/priv-app folder
this should contain the missing files from unlocking the bootloader. They could also be in system/app. You'll have to check what errors you get during the update to see what files are failing the check / Missing

Since you managed to fix the variant version problem, then I guess you have root in your ROM.

You can't update automatically or manually when you have this error
Check that you have CID HTC__044 and MID PN0714000

CID__044 is wrong and HTC_044 also wrong.
The correct one is HTC__044 (notice the double underscore)
To make thing easier why don't change it to SuperCID
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
(there 8 of 1)
I don't advise to manually update OTA, since you insist :
1. Put the OTA.zip on the root of sdcard
2. Boot to hboot and select recovery
3. press power + volume up to enter recovery
4. select install from phone storage
5. select 0 then select the OTA.zip
6. the system will install and it will ask you to reboot to flash firmware
7. reboot and let the system do its task
8. system will reboot and done
