Hi all.
Last week, after i soft bricked my phone (HTC ONE M7 EU with no carrier , bough directly from ) trying to update it to the latest version (i had mine unlocked and rooted to solve previous battery problems), i finally fixed it with the help of an user of this community
I have now an S-off HTC One GPE with 4.4.4 (via OTA update after flashing a RUU zip)
I kinda not like GPE and i think i should back to Sense .
Can anyone point me to the correct RUU thread and/or instructions or presequisites i shoult take account to do this process?
Thanks in advance

here are some links, if you're going to use a signed/encryped ruu, then you'll need to downgrade hboot first https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407580580

considering you are s-off,
very little, but even with s-off, you will first need to downgrade hboot to same or lower version than the signed ruu.exe/ruu.zip
on the other hand, a decrypted ruu.zip doesn't have that restriction

So my process will be...
1. Downgrade hboot to 1.44
2. Change back my cid to HTC__002 (when i flashed the RUU from the GPE i changed it to GOOGL001)
3. Flash the RUU zip
Is that right?

you don't have to go back to hboot 1.44
If your RUU is 4.xx flash a 3.xx firmware first
or 3.xx RUU a 3.xx or 2.xx firmware will work.
you may also need the MID change tool if you changed it also

The 1.28.401.7 is Jelly Bean it's equal to a 3.xx.xxx.x RUU
So the Firmware you would want is this http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/2.24.401.8.zip
Hello everyone,
I've been trying to get back to stock on my Sprint HTC One. I have tried using the RUU in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 and no luck. I am HBoot 1.55, S-ON, and running a stock rooted rom that is on 4.4.2
So here is what I tried. I relock my bootloader and proceed to run the RUU, but 2 times I get stuck on 4% so I have no luck. I tried getting S-Off and maybe that could help me bring back to stock, but that did not work either. Really need to get this phone back to Stock, any help is appreciate it, no one responded in that thread so I'm asking here. Thanks in advance.
You'll need to flash the Full Firmware first.
If it still gets stuck try a different USB Port...USB 2 work best or try a different PC.

That is what the video at the bottom of the first post on that thread is about, correct?
Don't I have to be S-Off for that? It says on the video that I have to, and I am not.

Use This Firmware
You will need to re-lock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
Flash firmware (follow the video)
Run the RUU and you will be back to stock.
You do not need to be s-off to do either.

Did you re-lock your bootloader?
Is the firmware in your adb/fastboot/platform tools folder?

Yes sir. Relocked, only that at the top it says "security warning." I renamed the folder to firmware.zip and it is on the platform tools folder. Did all the commands, but the second time I run the same command (like it says on the video) it gives me the error I mentioned and I don't even get the loading bar on the phone. Tried 3 times, no luck.

So Hboot 1.55, S-ON, and can't go back to stock?
Go to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910
Download that RUU. Now, go into fastboot and relock your bootloader. Flash the firmware on that thread through fastboot, there's a video there showing you how. After that is done, go back to fastboot and you can run the RUU you downloaded from that thread. That's what I did and worked like a charm. Recommended if you use USB 2.0

Hi. You mean flash 4.06.651.4 version at first and then flash 5.05.651.2 version ? Is it update HBOOT from 1.55 to 1.56? What about warning message on that thread "***IMPORTANT NOTE*** you must first update your hboot to 1.56 to flash this 4.06 RUU, see full firmware below ( I recommend being s-off before doing so)"
I have. Hboot 1.55, S-on, Custom ViperOne 7.0.1

Just flash firmware 4.06.651.4 (you'll be on hboot 1.56) and then run that RUU. Don't worry about 5.05.651.2 firmware or RUU.
Make sure you relock your bootloader before anything.
Whenever the RUU is done and you're back in stock, you'll get the OTAs to 5.05.651.2, just telling you exactly what I did that worked, I also had a lot of trouble getting back to stock/unrooting.

it all depend the output of "fastboot getvar all" but if the phone was on 4.4.3, yes you'll probably need s-off. There might be alternatives that doesnt require s-off (stock odexed rom, reset rom, nandroid backup....)

No, s-on will prevent you flashing the wrong RUU. Anyway I'm 99% sure there will be no RUU availabe for you phone. WIth s-on you can only flash RUU that are same or higher version then what was on the phone before. There is no 4.4.3 RUU except for t-mobile which is not your version.
So unless you achieve s-off, you will not be able to use a ruu.
But there might be some others alternatives to bring your phone back to stock like a reset rom, stock odexed rom or a nanadroid backup,
Unfortunately, if you can't tell me more on your device (CID/MID and firmware version). I can't help you more and I cant point you the stock rom, reset rom or nandroid backup you need.

If that phone was s-on and on stock 4.4.3 before, it should be on hboot 1.57 which mean you'll need to use a 6.xx.707.xx stock rom/reset rom/nandroid backup. Not even sure if you'll need a .707 version.
There is a 5.xx.707.x reset rom in the general section. Maybe it could be that one, maybe not, but you could download that one so you'll be ready tomorrow.

its a stock rom so yes. He will be prompted to download and install the ota normally.
But if the phone firmware (x.xx.xxx.x) doesnt match that rom version (5.12.707.104), the ota installation might fail.

Okay!! Will that Flashable ZIP Works ? What's the worst case scenario ? I can't ask the owner Coz he's n00b!!

I found another reset rom, its a 6.13.707.106 version which is the latest version I think. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001611719
so tomorrow, check the getvar all, if the version main is 6.13.707.106 then flash the zip linked above
if the version main is 5.12.707.104, flash this one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567720676
in both cases, when flashing the zip, you'll be prompted to install stock recovery, stock radio and root. Say yes to install stock recovery and radio but say no for root.
btw, give yatindroid a thanks for these roms in his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/stock-rom-reset-t2802061

Yes they are often used by many ppl here. Flash it using a custom recovery, no needs to relock the bootloader, once flashed, the custom recovery will be overwritten by the stock recovery so he will be able to install future ota updates.

Hello,
I have looked on xda for an answer before i started this thread but couln't really find the answer or solution i'm personally looking for.. The problem is a friend of mine is S-On with an ex-contract HTC One (M7) CID is something like VODA..... and his HBoot is 1.57.0000 - I'm trying to S-Off his phone so he can get rid of the Vodafone and Flash Firmware and European RUU (This is i can do) but i need to S-Off it 1st ... I installed TWRP so as to root his phone and unlocked the bootloader (HTCDev unlock token) BUT now the problem is, he's just had the Lollipop 5.02 OTA update and of course, cannot instal it with TWRP present :/ i was told just to flash Stock recovery over it? is this correct? and if so, how would i go about it please and how would i get S-Off on his mobile please? I'm lead to believe that Sunshine S-Off is the only option with that HBoot version.. ?
Many thanks in advance to xda and its members :good:

better to achieve s-off now before taking the ota update or you will need to wait for the new release of sunshine (3.0).
Yes sunshine is the only way to achieve s-off on hboot 1.57.
Achieve s-off
change cid to HTC__001
change mid (if required) to PN0710000
flash the latest ruu 7.19.401.2

So would i just look for a European RUU with that No. (7.19.401.2)?
and is that Firmware ok please?
I really aappreciate the help here.
And Sunshine S-Off it is
is this any good please? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934533542
I meant to add - i can flash the Firmware with S-On can't i? as it's custom.. do i need to be rooted for that? and once firmware has been flashed i will need to Sunshine S-Off or Sunshine 1st then the rest? can i instal that RUU on S-On? If so i will just go ahead (without updating to 5.02) ..would this be ok? I think i need S-Off to chaange CID though dont i? so Sunshie 1st it would be?

No you don't understand, you must use the fastboot version posted at page 4 or it will not work. Read the post you'll understand. The regular fastboot from the Android sdk won't work for this RUU.
I see now ..i got the HTC_Fastboot.exe ...is this correct? also, i'm downloading the European.RUU now .. will this come with the Firmware.zip or will i need to search and flash that 1st please? i'm sorry if i'm confusing the issue but i'm really quite new at this and don't totally understand.. also, would the CID still be HTC___001 and can i change that with s-on? 'fastboot oem writecid'
I need to change CID 1st dont i? then Firmware then RUU? then finally S-Off with sunshine before the 5.02 update
ok i've got fw_7.19.401.2-NoRed_NoWipe Firmware and will read up on how to use the htc_fastboot.exe

The European RUU is HTC___001. If your phone is s on you cannot change your CID. You need s off to do that

do not flash that firmware whilst s-on, its modified firmware and will brick your phone, you need s-off to change your CID or falsh any different firmware than vodafone firmware.
I discovered that last night i kinda knew anyway that i could not change the CID without S-Off but with everything going on i forgot.. iv'e decided to stick Android Revolution HD 91.1 on his HTC One.. at least he'l have 5.02 and a quick & reliable OS ... iv'e head that 5.02 is the last OTA update for the M7 so it wouldn't matter if he can't update ..cheers for your help anyway
Sorry, i only read half your reply - will i need to change CID for Android Revolution HD? will this be safe to flash onto his device please?

Hi
I have an HTC One M8 on CM 12. I wanted to go back to full stock but I am scared of doing this lol.
I am S-On and have an Unlocked bootloader
So to Flash a RUU I have to Lock it again?
Is that even possible at this point?
Yes re-lock your bootloader and run the RUU.

Hi Sloth and thanks for responding,
I read that the Firmware I flash has to be newer or the same as what the phone is currently running. Is that true?
Also do I have to put the HTC recovery first or does that happen when I flash the firmware?

Yes I have noticed the hboot has to match the hboot for the RUU you are trying to flash for the last few updates.
If you choose the latest Full Firmware (Stagefright patch included) then run the latest RUU you should be golden.
The Full firmware will install stock recovery.

I downloaded the lasted firmware from HTC's website. 4.25.651.18
Is this a full firmware? Or are you talking about something else? Not sure what stagefright is.
I will try the FUU method that I found in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
BTW my hboot is 3.19.0.0000

You probably downloaded the RUU from the HTC site.
The firmware is in the link you posted.
I'm not sure what the latest hboot is lol.
Edit:
My hboot is 3.19 and I'm 1 firmware update behind I doubt the latest changed the hboot.

That is the correct size for the firmware.
The RUU is 1.5GB...you might be ok running the RUU without updating your firmware, give it a shot.

Was the goal to update the firmware and then the RUU?
I didnt even know the difference. I need the full OS I am pretty sure to put sense back etc.

If your hboot was outdated you would most likely need to update the firmware so they matched.
Your hboot is already the latest so you should be good to go with just running the latest RUU.
OK so I'm just going to use the thread to install the Rom. Any tips?
Thanks so far btw

Correct the 1.5GB file you downloaded from the HTC site.
Just make sure you re-lock your bootloader before starting the RUU.

So Relock with this command fastboot oem lock
So do I put the phone into fastboot mode first?
Also this file I downloaded is the actual program huh.
I will have to get adb working again. Time to download the whole Android studio again! UH

Yes boot to bootloader and select fastboot...when you plug in it will say fastbootusb in red.
Open a cmd window and type fastboot devices...if you get your serial number back as a reply you are good to issue the fastboot oem lock command, if you serial # does not show then your drivers are not installed properly.
The file is an exe/executable file right click and run as admin and it will start, read all the warnings and check the boxes and it will do it's thing.
ADB does not work in fastboot mode only recovery or OS.
