[Q] Downgrade to KitKat+Root - Help? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my M7 started heating up, chewing battery. Everything was fine with the first L update, but after the second one, something went wrong.
Now, I don't really want to do a factory reset - if I don't have to. And to be honest, it never helped with these random battery/cpu hogs in Android.
So!
- Could anyone link me the latest KitKat RUU? OR whatever I have to flash/install?
- The warranty is now gone for the phone, so I also want to root. How should I root? Via HTCDev? Sunshine?
If I can install KitKat somehow without losing files, I would just Sunshine - would save me tons of work (restore).
Thanks!
Ps.: I am not lazy, and I really tried to find the answers - but compared to how easy to flash an LG or Samsung, HTC looks like a spacecraft.
Seriously, while the two other have simple firmware files, and a simple app to flash, HTC got RUU, different unlocks, different firmwares, etc.
* I also thought about switching it to GPE, but honestly, 5.1 is not any better.
And it's the last update for the M7... it's a dead end anyhow.
KitKat will serve this phone perfectly fine for +1-2 years.

Impossible to tell without knowing your phone info. Post the output of "fastboot getvar all" remove imei and sn before posting.

If your goal is to return to kitkat then
1- return to kitkat, how exactly will be determined after you have posted your "fastboot getvar all"
2- root the phone (unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, flash latest supersu.zip)

RUU will wipe everything
Flashing a rom requires an unlocked bootloader, unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.
So you will lose your files, backup first.

Sorry for the noob question, command issued while in normal mode through ADB?
Or in fastboot through ADB?

fastboot commands are always/can only be issued when the phone is booted in bootloader mode with "fastboot usb" red caption showing.
adb commands are/can only be used when booted in the OS with usb debug turned on or from a custom recovery no matter if usb debug is turned on or off.

I want the latest 4.4 FW/ROM, preferably stock.
(But if that Revolution rom works fine, I am also fine with that one.)
--------------------------------
UPDATE:
Ok, so I thought I will try things by myself... it cannot be that hard.
I was wrong.
I am now more confused than ever.

Since that your phone is s-on you can not use a RUU to downgrade, you will have to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and finally flash a 4.4 rom. You'll will not be able to downgrade the firmware with S-ON, you can only change your rom.
to unlock the bootloader go at www.htcdev.com/bootloader and follow the instructions
once done flash a custom recovery, preferably TWRP 2.8.6.0:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
boot in recovery and transfer the rom zip file you want to flash to your phone storage.
in twrp select "install" and flash your rom.

Could you link me a 4.4 ROM, please?
Preferably Stock, HTC Sense one.
I checked the pinned thread, but every file is 404 (missing) by now, since it's a very old thread/post.
Thank you!

Stock 4.4.2 rom, latest version before lollipop (6.09.401.12)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934521261

Thank you!
I have managed to unlock + root (that wasn't really so hard, using Sunshine would have been harder). Will try to stay on L now, see if the reset helped with the battery drain. If not, it's time for Kitkat!

So confused - OTA Updates & Rooted/Modified M7 - please help!

Hi all,
My girlfriend has a HTC One M7, currentley Rooted with an Unlocked bootloader, Bulletproof Kernel, CWM Recovery, S-On (can't get S-OFF no matter what I try) and running the stock 4.4.2 Sense ROM that came with the phone.
She wants to install an OTA update, obviously this won't work with the phone in it's current state. I've got experience with all of this with my Note II, but the M7 is just a whole different can of worms.
What I've tried:
Getting S-OFF (no luck whatsoever with any tools)
Flashing stock recovery and kernel
Flashing stock recovery and kernel and applying the OTA manually via recovery
I've read everything on here and nothing seems to go in. She just wants to be able to install OTA updates, even if it means unrooting her phone permanently as this will happen each time there is an OTA update.
Someone, please guide me in the right direction! Step by step maybe?
Keep in mind there is no way I can't get S-OFF.
Huge thanks to anyone that can help. I'd be eternally in your debt!!

I suppose the phone is trying to apply to ota update and then show a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside?
What I've tried:
Getting S-OFF (no luck whatsoever with any tools) Any error message when trying to S-OFF? You must use the correct tool for your hboot version (probably firewater) + combination of the correct rom + kernel
Flashing stock recovery and kernel --> You must have stock recovery for ota, ota will not install using a custom one.
Flashing stock recovery and kernel and applying the OTA manually via recovery --> appyling the ota manually from stock recovery require s-off

Interesting. I don't have the phone with me at the moment and it's late but I'll try to do the POWERUP + VOL tomorrow at some point, I'll get her to try stock recovery + kernel then do it and see what it's stopping at.

Didn't get that message, just keeps going indefinetley or stops, and doesn't S-OFF. Tried Firewater, Revone, RumRunner, if there is another then I've almost certainly tried it, followed all the guides including the one that flashed Android Revolution...no idea..

your version-main? (rom version) Go in settings --> About --> Software info --> Rom version
maybe there is a ruu you could use to restore the phone(4.19.401.9), if it match your version
---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------
you can also flash the stock 5.11.401.10 rom, recovery and firmware available on ARHD website

4.19.401.11
What exactly is the function of the RUU? I can't seems to get my head around it..
I'm guessing the ARHD steps are to try to get S-OFF?

forget the ruu, your phone version is higher than the ruu. flashing a ruu (4.11.401.10) with a lower version than on your phone(4.11.401.11) require s-off.

No, this is the latest stock rom(5.11.401.10) for your phone model (MID: PN0710000 and CID:HTC__001) including android 4.4.2 and sense 6.0
You can flash this stock odexed rom(5.11.401.10) from custom recovery, then flash the stock recovery(5.11.401.10) over the custom one and your phone will be stock and ready to take future ota update. You may also want to update firmware to 5.11.401.10
So after flashing that rom and stock recovery, ota would be ready to roll? Would the kernel matter?
What's the purpose / Difference of firmware and how is it updated? On my note II it was just choose a rom choose a kernel and off you go. This is so much more involved

stock kernel in included in the rom (boot.img) so if you don't flash any other kernel it should be fine.

firmware is all the low level code required for your phone hardware to works with the software (OS)
when speaking about HTC phone, firmware.zip include HBOOT(bootloader), BOOT(kernel), Recovery, Radio and some other stuff. if you want your phone to be 100% stock you need both stock rom + stock firmware to match the same version i.e 5.11.501.10
normally, the firmware is updated at the same time the rom version is updated (from an ota update) If you flash a rom, the rom will be updated but not the firmware.
Updating the firmware manually can be dangerous is you don't know what you are doing and flashing the wrong file. You can update firmware using this command from bootloader (with the correct firmware.zip package in the same folder you have adb and fastboot):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
also it looks like flashing a 5.x.xxx.x firmware over a 3.x.xxx.x firmware will brick your phone. from what i see, your phone should be on a 4.x.401.x version at the moment, so it theory it should be fine.
Fails on:
>>>setting permissions
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/one_5.11.401.10_odexed.zip
(status 7)
Tried 3 different versions of cwm. Bad rom download?
Thinking about it I just re read your above post, could it be because the firmware isn't matched? I read your 'it should be fine' as 'dont update the firmware' not 'its fine to update' which I think is what you meant...
Firmware is 4.19.401.11 however the rom is 5.11.401.10. Can't believe I overlooked this, guess firmware needs to be 5.11.401.10 for the rom to take?

[Q] Help M7 stuck in fastboot

Hi.
I've been trying to follow instructions from several threads about restoring an M7 to un-rooted, relocked, stock O2 ROM.
Things have gone badly from the start and I've tried so many different people's posts about what I should do that I'm completely confused now and need some help getting back on track.
At the moment all I've got is a hboot screen with fastboot working (unable to boot into recovery)
The last thing I did before this all went bed was to use 'fastboot oem relock' (which worked) I've tried 'fastboot oem unlock' but that says '[ERR] Command error !!!'.
I've tried flashing a stock rom.zip extracted from an O2 RUU but it fails with the code 'FAILED (remote: 22 loading zip info fail Please check if you flash part)'.
This is the 'getvar all' result.

remove your imei and serial number from your output above, its dangerous to post them.
according to your hboot which is 1.57 you wont beable to use that ruu, you cant back flash unless you have s-off.
also, only way to unlock your bootloader is at HTC dev again, you cant use a command to do it, so start there.

Thanks for the tip (oops) So is that the first step I need to do, unlock the bootloader again? Just checking before I go ahead. Thanks.
Update...
I went to the HTCDev site to unlock again (I know I'm impatient but I'm running out of time to get this done) but it didn't work. This is what the site reported back:-
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

yes that's the first step, then you need to decide if you want to go s-off and flash that original rom of yours, or go unbranded, or just flash a custom recovery and a custom rom.
---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------
in fact, thinking about it, you will have to go with custom rom and recovery as you need a rom on your phone to go s-off.

strange, that's the only way your going to be able to unlock your bootloader, and unfortunately, there's nothing you can do with a relocked bootloader, can you post your token here so I can look over it.

that's very strange, just tried mine and it worked, tried yours and I got the same messages as you, but they are the same length etc.
Is this how you unlocked your bootloader before ? do you still have your original token anywhere ?

This is how I unlocked it originally. I don't have the token but I do have the email they send afterwards with the bin file attached. Shall I try and use that again?

Okay, that worked! (Phew). I now have an unlocked bootloader again.
So to get from my custom ROM, custom recovery and 'unlocked/tampered' state back to a stock rom/recovery and locked bootloader......what order do I have to do things? I know this is a big ask but I don't want to end up in a muddle again! Thanks.

if you have a working rom on there now then you will have to get s-off to do everything you want to do.
Try firewater first: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
if that fails then you will have to use sunshine, but you do have to pay for that: http://theroot.ninja/
out of interest, which rom are you running at the moment ?

The stock O2 RUU was from HTC1guru.com (I think) I had to dig around quite a lot to find it. If I find the address I'll post it here.

try this version of adb and fastboot instead, sounds like its out of date and also check your device manager, make sure it says MyHTC when your phone is plugged in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Don't worry, I didn't type the important! bit
I'm not sure how much more time I want to spend trying to reset this device, maybe I'll just return it to O2 as it is and see if they even care that it's been unlocked!
I'll try the link you suggested and report back :tired:
Hi.
I think my guardian angel must have had a hand in this because I was only trying to reset the phone to return it due to the microphone not working. After all of these failed attempts I factory reset the current rom and bingo! Microphone working again and no need to return to O2
But thanks for all of the help you offered, I would have a lot less hair and more wrinkles without you.

[Q] HTC One not booting and not going into recovery. Plz help.

My htc one At&t turned Developer edition was working perfect. No root , No custom rot or whatsoever. I was running latest update 4.4 with Sense 6. It just rebooted and then it just got stuck at the HTC one logo screen. Wont just pass that.
I hard reset with power + down. It rebooted. But then again stuck at the HTC logo screen.
I went to fastboot and tried going to recovery . It just reboots and then comes with a Red Triangle exclamation mark. I was hoping to go in recover and the clean the cache might fix the stuck on boot screen issue. It seems i am not able to go in recovery also. I don't know why.
I tried selecting the factory reset , it took its time. Then it shut down. I again booted it , again stuck at HTC logo screen. It wont load the android. It takes charging fine.
Any idea why going to recovery shows the red exclamation mark ? i have not played with the recovery.. have been getting the HTC update as normal.
Also any way i can boot it now ?? its just stuck at the boot screen.
Was my primary phone.
Thanks,

the red exclamation mark is normal, the stock recovery is working fine. When you access the recovery and get to this point, hold volume up button and press power to access recovery options. You can factory reset from here and clear cache

Your CID is cidnum: 11111111 which means this phone has been rooted before. Did you run any fastboot commands e.g. fastboot writesecureflag 3 and go back to S-ON? Did you install any updates recently?
Rooted when it was 4.1 on At&t. But never then.

Yes it was rooted when it was 4.1 and then i installed a 4.2 via RUU.exe to get to Dev Edition. I changed to SuperCid as that time the RUU was not working for some reason. I left it 1111111 as i was able to get the OTA updates normally. Since that 4.3 no rooting and no S-off. Had been like this since then.
I did not install any update recently. Last update was back in Aug for the sense 6.0. Have been using since then without any issue , except for couple of OS crashes.
What you doubt ? Has the OS partition corrupted ? Do i need to reflash ?

I checked for an RUU for your current version but cannot find one. And because you are S-ON you cannot downgrade or run an earlier RUU
Your option at present may be only to unlock the bootloader via HTC.dev, install custom ROM/Recovery and then obtain S-OFF via firewater or Sunshine to remove the TAMPERED and re-lock the bootloader
Ohh ! i don't have a Window machine also handy

I was also checking the RUU if theres is one of 4.4 wirh sense6 released by htc.
As i am S-On i cannot download a previous version of RUU and flash that ? Why is that ?
Can a OTA update ( MR ) will do ? i can try searching for the latest OTA file
i can just place the OTA of the latest Sense 6 and then place in storage and choose update via phone storage.

S-ON does not permit you to downgrade to another RUU, only upgrade. If you try and flash an RUU.zip via fastboot you will have a beautiful aluminium ornament as the phone will not work.
I don't think there is an OTA either
Many thanks, i will update after doing all those steps.

1 more question , which file can i download after unlocking the bootloader ?
I mean can i install another binary with S-On and unlocked bootloader ? Which one shall i download
To do S-off i need to have working android (adbshell).
And just to understand the process I need that to install a custom recovery so that i can do a S-off. Once S-off i can run the 4.3 RUU exe. Right ? Of course re-lock the bootloader later as i will be doing a updates from HTC (signed) only.
After that OTA can bring me to latest OS ?
Which Custom rom to flash for next step.

I have unlocked the bootloader and got a custom recovery (twrp) . I am still s-on. To do S-off
i need to have a working android , for that i need a custom rom. Can anybody tell which rom can be good , i have already the latest Stock 4.4 with "S-ON" and unlocked bootloader.
I cannot flash a htc rom directly as i am S-on and have latest update. To download a version lower (RUU avail) i need to do s-off.
My final aim to get back to Stock 4.4 Sense 6 . This way i approached my HTC one hit a boot loop and not coming out after all methods.

If you want a rom that doesn't require unlocking the bootloader or anything else like s-off, then the only thing you can do is to flash the same RUU you already have installed on your phone (t-mobile ruu).

so you have 2 options:
Achieve s-off using Sunshine
change your cid to HTC__001
flash the international RUU version of lollipop 5.0.2/Sense 6 (7.19.401.2)
or
Unlock your bootloader
flash a custom recovery
flash a "close to stock" custom rom like arhd, insertcoin, maximusHD etc etc...
Nothing can be done without unlocking or s-off.

s-off itself doesn't void warranty but there is no ruu to return your phone back to stock. Any modification will void your warranty if you can't return everything back to 100% stock.
@alray is there any guide where i can do this step by step, because i dont want to mess something up

Buy the way can you tell me what are the versions that i need to flash? Either the TWRP and the SuperSU?
Do i loose the capability of getting OTA updates doing that?
On early versions when i flash the boot screen there was a red message on the boot, something like "this is for development purposes......" Do you know if it will happen here.

s-off using sunshine (no guide required here, the Sunshine app will do everything for you)
To change your cid to HTC__001, reboot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode and enter this command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then confirm your cid is now HTC__001 either by using:
Code:
fastbot getvar all
or
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
or
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
then you can flash the 7.19.401.2 firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Confirm your firmware is now 7.19.401.2:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
then flash the 7.19.401.2 ruu using these instructions (with htc_fastboot): http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
Edit: BTW i'm not responsible if you brick your phone, there are always some risks.

Maybe yes, Maybe no. already answered that same question 45 min ago here
On early versions when i flash the boot screen there was a red message on the boot, something like "this is for development purposes......" Do you know if it will happen here.

Yes it will.
That being said, you are still off topic here and having 2 different discussions in this thread for 2 unrelated topic might be confusing for the OP. Please post in the appropriate thread if you have any other question, I'll be happy to help you there.

s-off using sunshine (no guide required here, the Sunshine app will do everything for you)
To change your cid to HTC__001, reboot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode and enter this command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then confirm your cid is now HTC__001 either by using:
Code:
fastbot getvar all
or
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
or
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
then you can flash the 7.19.401.2 firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Confirm your firmware is now 7.19.401.2:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
then flash the 7.19.401.2 ruu using these instructions (with htc_fastboot): http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944

yep Sunshine cost 25$ and will only ask you to pay for the license if it have determined that it will work on your device. If you are experiencing any problem with sunshine you can contact their help team on IRC there: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sunshine-support

Either the drivers are not installed correctly or its a connectivity issue (bad USB cable, bad USB port (phone or computer).
What is your hboot version?
Try a different cable already known to work for data connection
Try another usb port (usb 2.0 only)
Try another computer

You can't flash a rom using "fastboot flash xxx.zip" The only thing you can flash using fastboot is a RUU and that will requires fastboot connectivity and the output of "fastboot getvar all" so we can know what ruu you need.
Thx bro i am coming back

Would help to have S-OFF, There are 3 RUU that can be flashed on your phone, the first one 3.63.707.4 is an unsigned RUU and requires S-OFF, the second and third ones requires your firmware to be updated before they can be flashed on your phone...
You might want to flash this rom using twrp http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-707-1-zip/. When installing, select yes to install stock recovery and stock radio, select no when asked to root. Then boot the phone in the OS and try updating it.
Ps. Please don't send me multiple PMs requesting "urgent" help. Just post here and I (or someone else) will eventually answer you as soon as possible.

I apologize for PM u twice bro! I download the ruu and one is in exe. format, i follow the step and it said that the phone and PC is not well connected. And the second RUU is in zip form and there are a lot of files inside like boot.img somehow. I get trouble in flashing the RUU and what is the most safe way of doing S-OFF?

You should be able to S-OFF using Rumrunner which is free. The easiest way to S-OFF is Sunshine which cost 25$. Did you tried the rom linked above?

Use adb push or adb sideload to transfer the rom to your phone then flash it with twrp recovery.
