Can someone help me get the OTA update? (Root) - Sprint HTC One (M8)

Alright, I'm trying to update my phone to the latest Android version because my Snapchat wont work and the phone is just acting weird sometimes, but I can't figure out what to do.
I tried following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPPT5J8xG6w
But my CID (SPCS_01) is no where to be found on this list:

4.2.2 Android on HTC 802w

I have put my HTC 802w back into stock 4.1.2 (after unlocking and rooting). However, it says "Relocked" in the top of the screen when I enter bootloader.
I have a question. I heard a while back that you are able to download something from htc's store that allows you to disable some of the stock chinese software and it adds some google stuff. Should that be done BEFORE upgrading to 4.2.2? Or should it be done AFTER upgrading to 4.2.2? Is there any Android version dependency of that app? what is that app called? Does it matter what version of Android I have installed? Also, should I just upgrade normally via the software update to 4.2.2? Right now I am at Stock 4.1.2.
Thanks for any help given.

[Q] Need fast answers about HTC ONE, for European market

First, sorry for this tread. I started to read across HTC ONE related treads, but then I give up on the end... just to many informations...
If i had time I'm sure that many if not all this questions are answered somewhere in HTC ONE forum.
I have only one day do decide if I'm going to buy HTC ONE, due to end of special promotion sale (with 24 months binding to my network provider), so I will really appreciate XDA and HTC community help, as I can't go trough all those 100+ treads in one day.
So here are my infos & questions:
I'm only interesting in HTC ONE for the reason that could be converted to Google Edition phone and that it's build quality and design is much better than Nexus 4. I own SE Xperia Ray and Nexus 7 both rooted and slightly modified, but mainly stock, and I love vanilla look and regular updates of Nexus from Gogole. I intend to run HTC ONE few weeks with STOCK and then go for GE.
I live in Slovenia/Europe, so HTC ONE will be bought here. It is SIM unlocked, not operator dependant, but may have some network operator/provider specific programs installed.
So I assume that this is International version of the phone (it's stated, that LTE is supported) and it comes with Android 4.1.2 version presumably not updated.
1.) If it is still on 4.1 Android will I be able to convert it to GE? What if is on 4.2.2 or 4.3? Is there already a correct stock GE rom for EUR version?
2.) Is S-OFF possible and needed also for EU version of ONE? (if yes, this is a must for changing CID, which is needed for a proper GE ROM installation? is my understanding correct?) On HTC site, One can be rooted officially, I assume this is also valid for EUR version. Even rooted phone needs S-OFF? meaning GE ROM cant be flashed? Sorry, S-OFF is something completely new for me (non-existing at Sony or Nexus 7)
3.) Will LTE work properly with GE (GE is for american phones this will be European/International) Are there any other restrictions, that I need to be aware if going for GE (radio versions...)?
4.) How is going back to stock HTC rom (in case of warranty claims)? Is it country specific and can be automatically done with HTC software (like Xperia and Sony PC Companion - Repair phone function) or is there generic ROM (like Google provides for Nexus 7, that can be flashed back. In this case should rom be country specific? Any simple way to dump and backup original stock rom that phone comes with?).
5.) OTA updates from Google. Some threads debating about working OTA, others have remarks that OTA won't work. So is it possible to convert to latest 4.3 GE with working OTA? (I love this feature on Nexus 7, but can be easily broken if some changes are done in root/system)
6.) ONE has 3 physical buttons (capacitive) below screen (not on screen like Nexus phones/tablets). Is GE version adapting those 3 buttons, or there are double buttons (on screen also visible). Is there a fix for that? I'm asking this as I have fully adopted to on "screen buttons" with Nexus 7
7.) Is it safe to assume that there will be also 4.4 KiteKat GE OTA/ROM for HTC ONE?
8.) Any other important stuff that i I'm not aware of it (some programs not working, DRM protection issues for some stock programs, etc)? So is GE convert a full convert or just partial and is better in this case to stick with Nexus phones?
Thank you all for answers in advance!

With the new Rumrunner exploit, the version of HBOOT makes no difference UNLESS IT IS 1.55
S-OFF is definitely needed. It can be achieved with any HBOOT but 1.55 as of today.
Yes LTE will work properly.
If you can find a carrier-specific RUU for your modelid and cid, then you are as good as a stock device.
Can't help you with that one
The One has two active capacitative buttons (by default). Custom kernels enable the use of the HTC logo as a third button. You can always enable on-screen buttons if you prefer them.
I'd say it is safe to assume. Launching a "Google Edition" device and not supporting it for the first "major" update since release would be a disaster...
I'm no expert about the Google Edition but from what I understand it is pretty close to a Nexus device. I'm a big Sense 5 (and 5.5) sellout however and don't really understand why you'd want to do that but it's your choice. The updates still have to come through HTC and do NOT come directly from Google.
Thanks a lot!

4.) Is there a way I can backup stock rom, that device comes with (I doubt that i will be able to find my carrier specific RUU)?
8.) I was thinking that HTC only update its own Sense ROM, and Google takes care about Google Edition ROM (so GE will be updated before Sense). But I might try Sense for a while and see if I can accept it.
In case of S-OFF, can new official HTC update or OTA, toggle it to S-ON again?
Most recommended tweaked Sense ROMS, that are smooth as GE?
Thank you.

4) A nandroid backup or RUU is pretty much essential once you start messing around with your phone. In my case, the RUU is not available but I do have a stock nandroid backup
8) Google updates Android and HTC brings it to the one skin-free. There is delay between Nexus releases and Google Edition releases, but it is WAY shorter than with most phones.
For the ROM, I really recommend Android Revolution HD by mike1986. It is smooth, adds cool customization options with the Sense 5 toolbox and simply adds to the HTC experience. F
You won't really need offical HTC updates or OTA if you decide to go with S-OFF. You could always S-ON back to stock but if you update the bootloader in a firmware update and it doesn't allow you to go back to S-OFF, you won't be able to live with yourself

Thank you. I decide to go with HTC One despite, special S-OFF issue, that makes things little more complicated in comparison with other manufacturers (Sony or ASUS Nexus). Xperia Z1f (Honami mini) was my first choice, but unfortunately if will be only available in Asia/Japan, so I will switch to HTC.
Looking forward to playing with the One
Thanks for your help again!

Finally i receive my HTC One (had to exchange the first unit because of the gap in housing).
My HTC One out of the box is:
Android 4.2.2,
Software ver. 2.24.401.8
Kernel: 3.4.10-g28df0d6
Baseband: 4A.17.3250.14:10.39.1150.04L
CID: [HTC__032]
S-ON
HBoot 1.54
I have on question tough:
can I update to 1.3.670597 (small 614 kb update fundamental for a bigger update) and from here to 3.62.401.1 update (678,48 MB, Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5) without S-OFF from the current version?
New update does make HBoot 1.55, but is seems that it is supported by Rumrunner (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496687)
Should I bother with S-OFF now and then take OTA update (will I lose S-OFF after update?) or can I update to 4.3 & Sense 5.5 and then made S-OFF i i decide to go with custom fw?
P.S.
At the moment I'm actually satisfied with stock (very quick and stable, no delays in UI) and will probably not go for custom rom for a while (maybe just with root, to remove some of the bloat-ware).
Thank you for replay in advance.

Sorry for the late reply,
I would S-OFF right now using revone as it is much simpler to use. Worst case scenario you relock bootloader and re-enable S-ON.
You will not lose S-OFF. Once you have it, it is yours to keep.

To the topic: My current hboot is 1.54, I was thinking that revone only works until hdboot 1.44.
What about options for removing TEMPERED, UNLOCKED messages from boot -loader (I’m little confused here, there are so many treads and options which may work, or may not, including flashing parts of firmware..etc..Seems dangerous to me)?
If my understanding is correct, I need to unlock boot-loader, root, and then S-OFF....but after that to be able to update trough OTA (to Android 4.3/Sense 5.5 stock), I must revert all the changes made (excluding S-OFF), if I wish that OTA will be successful (again I’m not sure if there actually is RUU.exe for my current version of software and using nandroid online or CWM /TWRP recovery for backup again involves a lot of work after for going back to stock).
At the moment seems too much work for me, that’s why I was asking if updating to 4.3/5.5 hdboot 1.55 makes more sense, and only if I decide to try some custom rom, going towards S-OFF direction...
But still, I'm not completely sure, if I understand correctly how to remove red messages in boot loader (unlocked, tempered...etc) and how hard or dangerous is it.
What I’m thinking at the moment is:
Go to 4.3/5.5 wia OTA, and use it for a while, than make unlock, root, s-off and install TWRP, and make backup. Then remove some not needed apps (Facebook, Tweeter, Stocks...). In case of need returning back to stock (warranty repair in case of hardware failure, new OTA for stock, etc), use TWRP to restore back and then somehow revert all the changes after (unlock, unroot, factory recovery…). So what are my available options with my current / updated version? Is this easier to achieve if I do all this on hboot 1.54 and 4.22 android or can be also done under hdboot 1.55 and 4.3?
P.S.
But you were correct with your comments about Sense, it's not bad at all. I starting to like Sense UI, so maybe going towards Google Edition will not be needed at all.

It's up to you really. HBOOT 1.55 is now compatible with Rumrunner so upgrade away. Once you have S-OFF, you also get SuperCID, which gives access to all ROMs and firmwares (included stock ones, that are usually available here before the carriers even start testing). The Tampered flag is in fastboot, it is not linked to the red writing. To remove the red writing you must flash a custom firmware.
The easiness of going back to stock after having unlocked the bootloader and etc depends on the availability of RUUs and/or S-OFF.

Looking this:
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/ -> RUU M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.20.401.1 Radio 4A.13.3227.06 10.27.1127.01 Release 308001 Signed 2 4
It seems that my RUU.exe path is open? This seems to be 4.1.2 version of RUU with older radio, but it should give me OTA option to 2.24.401.8 (Android 4.2.2/Sense 5.0) and then OTA again to 3.62.401.1 (Android 4.3/Sense 5.5).
Can you please confirm this? Do I have a valid "easy" RUU.exe backup/downgrade path?
Thanks?
P.S.
There are some notes about touch not working properly going downgrade path to old firmware...will I be able to accept OTA anyway?

Once you are S-OFF, you can downgrade using an RUU (since you should have SuperCID as well); meaning you can't be "stuck" S-OFF. S-OFF allows you to "factory lock" the bootloader (instead of "relock"), remove the "tampered" sign and flash the latest firmwares.
The RUU you found, while valid, would only work if you were S-OFF as it's older than the software on you HTC One right now. HTC1Guru has stock ROMs that include recovery for pretty much any firmware if for some reason you don't like RUUs or don't wanna go S-OFF but still want to flash ROMs.
Touch works starting at 2.24 and it simply doesn't work in Recovery, meaning you have to use the volume keys.

[Q] HTC one 802w OTA Updates fail

I have a HTC one M7 802w and I cannot achieve the installation of the latest OTA update in any of the known ways. My phone remains me that an update is available, but the update always fails with messages like: /data/preload/xxxxxx.apk File not found! (Automatically, Manually, ZIP update or any other method I know will deliver the same error and stop the process)
This is the status of my phone:
M7C_DUG – Device ID: HTC 802w
Networks: Dual Sim W-CDMA/GSM
MID: PN0771000, PN0772000
Region: China, Russia, Europe.
M7CDUG PVT SHIP S-ON
Tampered

HBOOT-2.49 0000
RADIO U3.14.3509.14

SDK API 5.69
Android 4.4.2
HTC Sense 5.5
Rooted : SuperSU Chainfire v2.01
CERBERUS installed as a System APP
No NAND backup available
I could not flash the stock ROM, I guess because my HBOOT is newer than the stock ROM will support. So, I am stuck here.
Somebody said that I would need a NAND Backup of image OS-4.21.402.5 and a custom recovery image to restore it. Otherwise I need to S-Off, downgrade HBOOT, re-lock the HBOOT re-flash Jelly Bean, install all OTA updates as listed on this thread, go through out the official last OTA update and reconfigure my phone from scratch. If everything goes well, I may be two days without phone at least I do not sleep at all And I need the phone for both work and private usages (reason why I got a DUAL SIM) Having not a good phone for backup, therefore I dream of somebody being so kind of passing me a NAND backup of 4.21.402.5 and telling me the way to restore it. That could simplify my adventure to few hours at worst.
Somebody insisted me on the need of having stock recovery in... I do have the stock recovery in. I will only use a custom recovery to restore a NAND backup of my software version OS-4.21.402.5 providing that a kind person share it with me as I have no backup yet. The reason I believe I need a NAND backup is that somebody explained me: "When you unlock the HBOOT of a HTC using the official method (as per HTC support website) the phone is wiped out including the folder /data/preload and its content". Making a NAND backup before unlocking takes place can prevent that. I did not make a NAND backup and I did unlock my phone following HTC's method. Now when trying to install the OTA update, I get these errors like: error /data/preload/xxxxx.apk File not found! and the update process stops. They look pretty much like in line with the comment I mentioned.
Hope you have some ideas of how to overcome to this.
Your help would be very much appreciated

[Q]

Hello guys.
I've posted about a hard brick before ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758277 ) and I think it is usefull to give you a follow up.
I sent my device to HTC Repair (Arvato Germany), they repaired it inside warranty and I received my device back after 3 months. They solved the problem with the pink camera (hardware changed) and unbricked with a new motherboard. I'm very happy to have my M7 back, but for an unknown reason they put a Swisscom firmware in my device (I'm from Brazil, but we don't have HTC here so Swisscom was an alternative for them). They installed Android 4.4.3 Software Number 6.12.161.5, baseband version 4T.28.3218.04_10.33E.1718.01L Build 6.12.161.5 CL366813 release-keys.
I'm having problems accessing internet (2g/3g), despite the network being working for calls.
In addition, looks like Swisscom is not receiving updates.
I thought about never try to unlock my M7 after the hard brick, but I'm thinking again about updating with a pure Android software and be able to receive updates. These Swisscom settings and apps are useless here in Brazil.
Some suggestion? I've been away for some months, waiting for the repair.

Why? 6.12.161.5 is the latest version.... the 6 in 6.12.161.5 is for android 4.4.3 and this is the latest version for sense based roms.

Thank you. I could S-OFF using Sunshine (paid $25) and put last Google Edition... Everything is perfect now...

Update converted HTC One GPe to 5.0.1

Hello,
I converted my HTC One with Sense 5-Android 4.4.2 to a HTC One GPe with Android 4.4.3 rooting and flashing it. Everything worked fine and my next goal was to update the phone to Stock Android 5.0.1. I was reading a lot of posts about the process to "officialize" my phone, and basically I followed the instructions of "The Wolf Paulus' journal - HTC One M7 gets Lollypop – and here is how" post.
This process was a partial success. I installed the Stock Recovery (instead TWRP 2.8.X, which I installed in order to flash the phone) and changed the CID to GOOGL001 like the post said, but when I tried to install the "update.zip" file with the Stock Recovery, the installation was aborted.
Finally I rebooted my HTC and surprisingly, the phone "saw" the OTA Update to Android 4.4.4, so I went ahead and the update process was completed without problems. I was very happy because I thought that, as the phone had seen the 4.4.4 OTA Update, it should see also the 5.0.1 OTA Update... But actually it don't see it.
After that, I tried to repeat the process installing the update from the Stock Recovery, but every time I try, the installation is aborted, so I don't know what to do. The phone works really fine with 4.4.4 but I would like to update to take advantage of the new characteristics of Android. I really appreciate some kind of help here.
The phone information is:
Model Number: HTC One
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband Version: 4A.22.3263.03_10.38n.1157.04L
Kernel Version: 3.4.10-gef77362

Thanks in advance, if you need more information, only ask for it.

If your phone is S-OFF then you could just use the 5.0.1 GPE RUU to flash it to the latest version and it will be 100% stock, no need to mess with recovery flashing etc.
That RUU and instructions how to flash it can be found in the HTC One Android Development sub-forum.

Ok, thanks a lot! But only one question, if I flash the 5.0.1 GPE RUU, will I be able to update the phone via OTA in the future?
Again thanks a lot.

Like I said, your phone will be 100% stock after using the RUU so no problem with OTA updates.
Success!

For the record, I flashed the RUU posted by graffitix and I totally worked, so, I'm on Android Lollipop 5.0.1 for HTC One GPe. Thanks a lot for the help.
