debranding european T-mobile HTC one

Hello
I have some questions regarding debranding and running a stock eu htc one rom.
this is the info from my phone
m7-ul pvt ship s-on th
hboot 1.44.0000
radio 4d-14.3250.26
opendsp-v26.120.274.0202
emmc-boot
Is there a way to to flash an original rom from HTC without provider branding to this phone and will it use OTA updates after that.
I see a lot of information on this forum that I first need to unlock it and make it s-off and change the id , but is there somebody who can tell me how to do this and what to use.
From what i understand I will need to put back S-off and lock it to get OTA working again ....?
thanks for an answer

Yes, you have to have be S-Off and i would change the CID to SuperCID 11111111. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536. Bootloader lock command for when you did that: ./revone -l to receive OTA`s,

change andfose
I did what you said and it worked perfect , the only thing was i needed to change the supercid back to the cid from the rom I flashed
dutch ruu rom - cid HTC__101 after this the update to 1.29 was found and it installed , after this I relocked the htc one again.

[Q] EE UK ROM? (Need to get OTA back)

Hi folks, long time listener, first time caller.
I have an HTC One (M7_UL) from EE UK.
Last year I unlocked, rooted and tried a few methods from XDA (toning down the crazy vibration, etc), then wanted to go back to stock in order to easily receive the 4.2.2 update that EE were sending out OTA. I messed something up and ended up having to sideload Teamwin recovery and the European 4.2.2 (2.24.401.1) ROM in order to have a working phone again. My own stupid fault. Have had no problems with it since and just left it as is.
However, I recently realised that I wasn't gonna get any more OTA updates, and having very little time to update to different ROMS myself these days, I'd kinda like to go back to the boring, easy life of getting the OTAs (probably six to nine months late, but whatever!)
I have been searching for a while but always end up with about twenty XDA browser tabs open and end up really confused.
The two issues I need to get sorted:
1) Does anyone know if EE UK have their own specific ROM, or if it is just the General European RUU that they send out? I can't find any specific EE ROMs anywhere, months of searching.
2) I only have access to Macs, not Windows machines.

QUESTION - Can anyone help me return to a state where I can receive OTA updates from EE UK *using a Mac*?
I would very much appreciate your input, please bear in mind I am not a n00b but neither am I particularly advanced in this stuff. So basically… I'm a n00b :silly:

Thanks for the quick response cr1960!
First issue:
"First you need to be S-Off, this will NOT work with S-On!!!"
I'm S-On as seen in my bootloader info above. I've read it's dangerous to go back to S-On from Off, so does this mean I can't use this guide, ruling out going S-Off then S-On in order to follow it?

1- you can stay S-Off, it won't affect OTA updates
2- the only reason for going S-On (in my opinion), is if you're selling the phone or sending it in for warranty
3- it's not dangerous to go S-Off to S-On (unless you're using a modded hboot), however, if you do that on hboot 1.55+ it will very likely trigger a "tamper detected - rebooting" and TAMPERED is back in the bootloader, hence the guide says to go from S-Off to S-On at a very specific time.

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.

I tried to update OTA but since I have a custom recovery it just reset to recovery and that's it? Can you recommend me a good one for me? Thank You very much for your help

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.

[Q] How to Sim Unlock HTC ONE M8 5.01 lollipop Sprint

Hello everyone ,
I got a HTC one m8 (sprint) from US and I want to use it in Chile. It was previously android 4.4.4 and I updated to 5.01 lollipop (directly from the phone). I'll try to be clear.
My Target: Unlock the SIM and locked bands to use it in my network (movistar) witch works on 850 and 1900 Mhz Bands GSM. : (I now if it work on AT&T it will work for me also)
I saw several tutorials to sim unlock M8 Sprint running 4.4.4 but nothing with lollipop 5.01. Is it that possible nowdays? if is so, can you please provide the link?
If is it not, how can I come back to android 4.4.4 if I am S-ON? I tried RUU .exe files, but they didn't work.
I also try to S-OFF with sunshine and firewater but both fails (looks like they don't support android 5.01).
I tried to unlock the Bands with QPST but I can only see 800Mhz, 1900Mhz and US Bands to choose.
I have my phone rooted with TWRP.
I have spent a lot of days trying to do it by myself but I realize that I definetely need your help!
Please help me !

2.- Then I had to go back to the stock android kitkat rom 4.4.4 with a RUU ROM
"RUU_M8_WHL_K444_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_3.31.651.2_Radio_1.08.20.0916_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_403241_signed_2.exe"

Did you lock the bootloader when you ran the RUU im contemplating doing the same im simlocked but unlocked via sunshine running a custom rom. I'm sure you did but to be sure, when you went back to 4.4.4 you had to run sunshine again correct?

When I had the RUU rom installed, everything was back to stock but my phone still was S-off (So you don't need to pay twice ).
Then you just have to follow the instructions HERE and you will have finally your sim unlocked.
When you finish, you can install any custom rom ( I tried BadBoyz and Viper) and everything will work fine :good:
I hope this can help you!

Boot loader unlocked and S-OFF

Please, I don't have a pc. How do I know whether my boot loader is unlocked and also whether my htc is S-OFF.
I know this about the phone: it's a HTC m8; it's a Sprint.
I also got this by pressing the power button and volume down: M8_WHL PCT Ship S-OFF
EBook_ 3.19.0.000
Radio _ 1.09.20.0209
I know I am rooted because any app that request root access, my superSu usually prompt me which I usually grant.
I am using kit Kat 4.4.2 and want to flash custom Rom like cynogenmod and or Marshmallow.
Please, help. I will really appreciate because I don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks in advance.

You should flash TWRP recovery first before you can flash any roms

Thanks. But my challenge here are: how do I know if my boot loader is locked or unlocked. And based on the information I provided above, do you think I already have S-OFF?

You already have the answer in the first post. You are S-Off. In the bootloader menu you should see in pink whether or not the bootloader is unlocked. It should say LOCKED, UNLOCKED, or RELOCKED. If you are unlocked you need to use fastboot to flash Twrp, and then go from there.
Search is your friend. This is a nearly dead device as it is from 2014. But there is a wealth of information available, and I'm using it myself at the moment as my LG V20 is currently out of service. Lineageos 14.1 running with zero issues at the moment on sprint network perfectly.

You have S-OFF you can update by flashing the RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173&page=312
If RUU fails or gives errors, you will have to extract rom.zip and flash it in "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
If that also fails or gives size too large error, you will have to flash latest firmware (in the same link), then try again.
You will not be able to use your phone or RUU if your phone doesn't boot after flashing firmware (I suggest to flash the modified one). But don't worry you can flash any custom rom or flash rom.zip from bootloader

As I said above, in the same menu where you see all that information it will also tell you about the status of your bootloader. It will read either LOCKED UNLOCKED or RELOCKED. Either way, with S-off your golden and basically able to do whatever you want.
