First time custom rom - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright so I have been wanting to change my htc one (802w/dual sim) from android 5.0.2, back to 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 though I want a full stock/htc like software of the android version.
I found some here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617159
I've got a few questions though as I am a bit afraid I might harm my phone (saw some posts that some phones might break down and not function again..)
First thing about the RUU and firmware, I figured some stuff but please correct me if I'm wrong:
I will be downloading Android 4.2.2 RUU version: 2.19.401.1 - then OTA update version: 2.41.401.1-2.19.401.1 (should be still android 4.2.2 according to the collection thread)
And to be able to get to android 4.4.2 (might not need 4.4.3) I will download OTA 4.21.401.5-2.41.401.1
Well, is there anything wrong with the OTA versions or RUU?
Also, when I get to Android 4.2.2, can I just mainly check for updates over "Software updates" and will I get the updates from HTC? Or they will prevent it as I installed a *custom* rom?
And for the main thing, please link me any tutorial or guide (in-depth will be appreciated.. would like to know what I'm doing) to install the rom and any other files if needed.
Sorry for the long post, have a good day!
Regards,
Matt.

You can't do what you said above. x.xx.401.x RUU is not for your cid (HTC__J15). You can only flash RUU that are designed for your CID and MID and since your phone is S-ON, you can't downgrade using a RUU. You'll either need to S-OFF the phone so you can flash an old M7CDUG x.xx.402.x RUU or use old costom roms.

I did some searching and I found this RUU
Code:
www htc1guru com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_k44_sense55_mr_htc_europe_4-19-401-9_r_radio_4a-23-3263-28_10-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
(I can't send outside links)
According to the site it's for CID HTC_J15 and modelid PN0710000
Does it mean I can flash it even though it's x.xx.401.x? Also if I can, can you please send a guide about how to S-OFF the phone?
Thanks again.

No you can't, this RUU is simply not for your phone, not even for the same variant.
To flash a ruu on a s-on phone:
The ruu must match your CID number. Yours is HTC__J15 ---> OK
The ruu must match your MID number Yours is PN0771000 this RUU is for PN0710000 --> NO
The ruu must match the firmware base version. Yours is .402 this RUU is .401 ---> NO
The ruu must be same or newer than the current firmware version installed. Yours is 7.xx.xxx.x , this ruu is 4.xx.xxx.x so it's a downgrade, can't downgrade with s-on --> NO
The ruu must match your variant. Yours is M&CDUG --> The ruu you want to flash is for M7_UL ---> NO
The bootloader must be locked or re-locked
If only on of the above condition isn't respected, the ruu won't flash... And even if you could achieve s-off, #5 will always cause problem. You can only use RUU for M7CDUG variant

From what I see from your ''fastboot getvar all'' your CID is HTC__J15 and MID PN0711000 so you need a .401 base RUU like this one : http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_u_jb_50_htc_europe_1-29-401-2_r_radio_4a-14-3250-13_10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/ not a .707
But you are S-on, you shouldn't be able to run a RUU because it require Hboot downgrade to 1.44 (you are on 1.54)
Maybe you should go with a guru reset from htc1guru.com or attemp to s-off and run the 1.29.401 ruu.exe

We don't care! Let me explain: you have to downgrade hboot to 1.44 to be able to run that ruu I linked above. After the ruu process is complete you will receive ota and hboot will update to latest version avail.
LilbrownMeko said:

Click to collapse
Yes after a RUU restore, your device will be 100% stock (stock OS, stock recovery etc...) so as long your MID and CID match the ruu, you will receive ota updates.

Allways stay s-off !!! If you still were s-off, you simply had to run that ruu.exe i linked above. Now with s-on you can't downgrade hboot. Nothing guarantee you will be able to s-off again when you go back s-on. so better to stay s-off.
now go read that thread I linked above (nkk71 guide to return stock) and you will find many options to return stock. You can also use a decrypted ruu.zip and edit the android-info.txt to match your mid and cid.

1- yes, i saw that, but didnt care cause you're s-off; it sometimes happens when trying to flash a firmware package and it doesnt go through successfully.
2- SuperCID is 11111111 (8 ones), then you can use any ruu you like, but it won't let you get any OTAs
3- so recommend you set HTC__J15, so you can receive OTAs
4- keep S-OFF !!

sorry, didnt understand exactly, so you ran the RUU -> so yes, you'll be 100% stock (including stock recovery, which is needed anyway), you reboot and get the notification for update to 2.24.401.2 and during update it goes to stock recovery which is normal.
What am i misunderstanding?

very strange, did the ruu complete successfully? Maybe try running the ruu again, and do the update again.

Hey,
Just unlock it again. You didn't flash the stock recovery.img so you can't boot up into your ROM. Just unlock it and go through the process again. I see you are using t-mobile. just head over to THIS THREAD find 'RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_TMOUS_1.27.531.11_Radio_4A.17.3250 .20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed.exe' and run the exe. hope this helps man.
WHOOPSIE/ EDIT: Forgot to mention the S-off thanks for pointin that out

1- edit your post and remove IMEI and s/n
2- ask whoever quoted you to do the same
3- that RUU is not going to work, because:
......a- you are S-On, and for a downgrade to work you need to be S-Off
......b- the RUU isnt even meant for your model !!!!!
Code:
modelid: PN0713000
cid: T-MOB010
you have MID PN0710000 !!!!
from hboot & radio, your firmware should be 2.24.111.5 (German T-Mobile right?) or close to that, recommend you get S-Off using rumrunner.
so unlock bootloader, get yourself a suitable rom, and achieve s-off using rumrunner.

from hboot & radio, your firmware should be 2.24.111.5 (German T-Mobile right?) or close to that, recommend you get S-Off using rumrunner.
so unlock bootloader, get yourself a suitable rom, and achieve s-off using rumrunner.

quick question: do you want (need) to go back to stock? or are happy with custom ROMs?
(basically: what do you the end result to be?)

well kitkat isn't out yet except for the US Dev Edition, but you can try any of the ROMs in the development section, you can use @ClydeB1 Index for a list of different ROMs (and other very useful links) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438026
Since you're now S-Off you can also use latest GPE ROMs (as they require S-Off), and also can flash different firmwares;
I usually use firmwares from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
and radios from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
Also, at the moment the recommended recovery to use is TWRP 2.6.3.3 http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
or TWRP 2.6.3.4 http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul

the safest and easiest way is to flash the ruu.exe that match your phone, in your case an at&t RUU I guess

Post your fastboot getvar all please, remove imei and serial number before posting as it's dangerous to post this info.

So there is no way just to change my firmware from google dark bootloader to regular fimware without getting this error "QHSUSB_DLOAD"
Thanks for the help so far
Well the link below is your exact ruu, however, as you say you have the dark Google bootloader, I don't know how to return that to normal, I do know however, do not s-on
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
I mean I dont want to go back to stock I want to change the bootloader like change the firmware to regular firmware without havening to use the script. Thank you for the help so far
Edit: I just decided to update my firmware by going form 4.x to 5.x and then 6.x so it nothing would go wrong it worked

well according to his fastboot getvar all, this is not the correct ruu (MID is PN0712000) and that one is for PN0711000. I'm alsmot 100% sure 4.19.401.9 from his getvar is only referring to the custom hboot and not to his software #.
With pn0712000 he either have a google edition phone (.1700) a dev (.1540) or an at&t phone (.502).
@dragonballz2k
do you remember your original CID?

Apart from the fact you have the wrong recovery I think that the mismatch with your firmware and CiD is your problem.
I'm not sure how you can put that right without s-off though.
What OS version number does the OTA your trying to install have?
You can try to flash the latest 6.09.401.12 firmware over it. In theory that should work as it will match your CiD and MiD

Nop, you need 6.09.401.12 firmware and 6.09.401.12 Rom. Only thing is if you do change you won't get the OTA as I don't think it's been pushed for 401 yet. But at least you'll be ready when it comes
I have a 6.09.401.11 nandroid and Firmware. That may do the trick but I'll see if I can find the .12 first

1-Use Sunshine to achieve s-off
2-change your cid to BS_US001

4-flash the 7.17.1540.7 RUU or take the 7.17.1540.7 ota update.
i gained s-off by using sunshine... now i will change cid and mid and take take the 7.17.1540.7 ota update. But my recovery is recovery_4.19.401.11.img . I think this will be a problem. Where can i find suitable recovery ?
I changed cid to BS_US001 but changing mid is difficult i think. do i have to change it to get ota (7.17.1540.7) ?

Open firmware file and check if it allows your mid. If not, and S-off, add your own and flash firmware.zip!

I get file via OTA so i dont have it. I tried again but still i got "variant system software", i think that means my mid is not allowed.
How can i change my mid ? can you help me step by step ?
I think s-off skips signature check so changing firmware.zip content will not be problem, am i right ?

Need help to update firmware.

I'm trying to update my firmware before updating to ARHD 93.0 from 91.0 and I have a few questions. I'm trying to figure out how to update my firmware, but I can't seem to find any firmware.zip for my phone model. What i can find though, are RUUs for it, specifically 7.21.707.5 and 7.21.707.21. I want to know if these are the correct and the latest ones and which one I should use first if they are correct, since I heard that you need to update the firmware incrementally. I'm also not sure if using these would revert my phone back to S-ON and unrooted, so I hope someone can clarify me on this. Thanks and fastboot getvar all results are as follows.

You don't need to flash incrementally when using a RUU and the only thing you need to flash a 7.xx.707.x RUU is a 6.xx.707.x firmware already on the phone (which you have). Install the newer RUU (.21) then take all the ota updates (should have 2, one from .21 to .30 and another one from .30 to .51). Flashing a RUU doesn't affect S-ON/S-OFF status neither the unlocked bootloader but you'll obviously loose root since flashing a RUU will flash the /system partition back to stock which is where are stored the SU binaries. Anyway this is not really an issue since ARHD is a pre-rooted rom so after youv got your firmware updated via the RUU and ota updates, you can reflash TWRP recovery and ARHD so your phone will be on the latest firmware + ARHD + root + S-OFF + unlocked BL.
Btw there are otther way to update your firmware like changing your MID and CID and flashing another firmware.zip version. E.g. MID to PN0710000 and cid to HTC__001 (or supercid) and flash the 7.19.401.2 full firmware.zip then TWRP and finally ARHD.
Both methods will make your phone ready for latest roms like ARHD.
Thanks for the reply For the 1st method, how do I go about getting the OTA updates? Does flashing the RUU mean my phone will have the stock ROM and I can just download them through HTC? For the 2nd method, if I change the MID and CID to what you said, the existing firmware will still be the same right? I thought you could only upgrade the firmware with the same middle numbers, eg. 6.xx.401.x to 7.xx.401.x and not 6.xx.707.x to 7.xx.401.x even when you change the MID and CID.

Not if you change the CID and MID. But it must be a firmware compatible with your variant (M7_UL) and you must convert by using a complete(full) firmware.zip file, not using a firmware.zip that was extracted from an ota update (these kind of firmware.zip must be flashed incrementally). Acomplete firmware.zip (as opposed to a firmware.zip extracted from an OTA) will be about 40-50 Mb like this one. So if going for option #2: Change CID to one of the CID compatible with x.xx.401.x base (or supercid), change MID to PN0710000, flash that 7.19.401.2 firmware, then reflash twrp and finally ARHD.
