What if any ROMS can I use if I am S-On and on the 4.3 firmware?
I knew what I could do with S-Off, but having only S-On has me scared to try a rom without fully knowing first what I can do.
If I can flash a rom, should it be only the ones built off the 4.3?
Thanks for any help, been doing searches and have netted some results but not for my phone and not for the newest 4.3 HTC update.
Hello,
I have a HTC One with android 4.2.2 and sense 5, it's stock but I have a custom kernel, recovery and have rooted it.
It's S-ON and I still wish to upgrade to the sense 5.5 4.3, or a custom rom.
I'm not sure how to install a custom ROM With S-ON, on the HTC One, is it the same as on the HTC One X? (Flash kernel, Install ROM etc)
Could i keep my settings i have on stock 4.2.2 & sense 5 when installing a custom ROM?
Or how could I upgrade to 4.3 & sense 5.5. stock without losing root/my settings *(So no RUU)*
Kind regards

As long as your bootloader is unlocked and you have a custom recovery you can flash a ROM and it will work fine, S-ON just locks out the very very low level stuff.
You can't keep your settings, no.

HI guys
i have a htc one m7_u on 4.2.2 stock rom international version fully rooted and bootloader unlocked
the problem is my htc one is S-on and i need it S-off so i can flash custom roms
i used rum runner and in the middle of process something goes on and it tells me that i should flash a custom kernel or flash a custom rom
the problem is how can i flash a custom rom when i have an s-on ??
and please i need a link for the 4.3 stock rom for htc one international version odexed please i cant find a clue in the forums
thanks in advance
You don't need S-Off to flash a custom ROM...
But it's not clear what you actually want to do - flash a custom ROM? Get the 4.3 stock ROM?

@pintabit is right, you only need an unlocked bootloader + a custom recovery to flash a custom rom. S-OFF is required for some GPE roms only. And some roms require a specific recovery version to be flashed correctly i.e ARHD require at least TWRP 2.6.3.3
Yup...be more specific with your question, and you are more likely to get a solution

You try rumrunner then firewater. I would recommend reading thru the threads to get an idea what works and what doesn't. You will probably have to change roms to something more closer to stock rom than miui. The quickest way is with sunshine but it will cost $25. It too works better with roms that are closer to stock.
FYI: TWRP is a custom recovery; hboot 1.55 is your bootloader

Which ROM would you recommend?
And then the best way would be an ubuntu clean livecd / usb installation for android purposes?

FWIW, I just used Sunshine this morning and it worked great. I have S-Off'd many M7's, but this one was being stubborn. It was worth the $25 IMO. For Hboot 1.55, I would install an older ARHD rom (4.4.2) and then flash bulletproof kernel for that firmware. Then use Rumrunner or Firewater. That ALWAYS worked for me on the older 1.55 hboot.

Many have had success with AHRD 53.0 or 62.0 and Bulletproof Kernel. See @sjorge3442 post about his personal experiences. You can use Ubuntu USB, there is no need to install Ubuntu.

I would like to flash with sunshine, so I can flash ARHD 53 and use it? I tried with miui but the compatibility check failed.
My main reason to switch the ROM again are Keyboard problems......I am searching an GPE like ROM with a few fixes and tweaks. Maybe you can recommend a ROM where I don't need to S-OFF.
I really like to update as soon as possible to Android L.

The lastest ARHD & MaximusHD are two that are close to stock and don't require S-OFF. Most GPe roms require S-OFF.

I Installed MaximusHD which worked great, and installed sunshine.apk and bought the S-off for 25$.
Everything worked well. Now I will try insertcoin and viperone.

How come Android Revolution ROMs keep putting my phone into a bootloop? It makes my phone boot into TWRP Recovery. I have tried both Android Revolution HD 90.1 ( (Android 5.0.2 Lollipop + HTC Sense 6.0) and the stock HTC system dump (Android 5.0.2 + HTC Sense 6.0 | Latest: 7.15.401.1) without success. I just want to know why!
If you flash in twrp you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot in order to boot because your s-on. And also what you are running I believe are gsm based roms. In which case they will never boot.

ARHD is not compatible with Sprint.
By flashing it your partitions are messed up now.
You will need to RUU to fix and stay in the Sprint section when choosing a rom.

Yep says it several times in the OP.
I can't seem to get any other ROM to boot except CyanogenMod and LiquidSmooth. CM is completely stable while the latest version of LS is a bit buggy. They both absolutely refuse to acceept any APN settings. I am using Ting's service right now and I can't use it on these ROMs.... I tried flashing several stock Sprint ROMs for the HTC Onr M7 and none of them will boot. They'll boot if I flash the boot.img like someone here suggested but it doesn't help. It will go to the desktop, however, the screen is completely black. Is there anyway to flash a stock ROM properly? RUU's don't work either.

Thanks! I will definitely try this.
Sauprankul, I just want to say thank you for letting me know about that link. I was able to fully restore the stock ROM! Not only that, I was able to flash an updated firmware which was 6.16.651.2_firmware. And install the RUU.exe = “RUU_M7_WL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_6.16.651.2_Radio_1.01.20.1225_NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_414036_signed_2” which updated me to Software Ver. 6.16.651.2, Android 5.0.2 Lollipop (which I’ve never had before because of TWRP) and HBOOT 1.60.0000! So now, I’m back better than ever thanks to you guys. /bow

Hello guys,
Gurren Lagann is your HTC M7 GSM or CDMA?
Mine is GSM and I'd like to update it to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
Thanks in advance.

My HTC One is CDMA (Sprint).
First try updating by going to Settings ---> About ---> Software Updates. If that doesn't work try the following:
This Lollipop update process is ONLY for the Sprint HTC One M7.
First flash the firmware via Fastboot: 6.16.651.2_firmware.zip >>> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934523626
And then install the RUU for 6.16.651.2 via Bootloader RUU Menu:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_414036_signed_2.exe
If you don't know how to do these things, then you shouldn't attempt to. You could end up hard-bricking your phone.

Hello again,
I have some experience using fastboot. The thing is that my HTC M7 originally was Sprint CDMA but the person I bought it from he assured me that he unlocked the GSM.

I guess my HTC M7 is similiar to yours, but I want to be sure before flashing it. I have a backup already just in case.
Thanks a lot.
Your phone is for sprint as it says m7wls you can use gsm service perhaps since you say its unlocked meaning Sim unlock always look for Roms that are m7spr or M7wls based I also suggest s-off so you don't have any complications with flashing

It has been a little bit difficult to S-off my HTC, since it has Hboot 1.57. So far I've tried Revone and Rum Runner without success.
Firewater seems to be down and I'm tempted to pay for SunShine, but I'm not really sure about paying for an application that might not work.
My HTC originally came with Android 4.4.2 and I got a notification to upgrade to lollipop via OTA, but I was suggested to make a backup just in case. So I had to root my phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP in order to get my system backup, but due to the previous procedures I can no longer upgrade to lollipop.
Right now all I want is to follow my original plan by installing a stock rom and try to update to lollipop via OTA.
You kindly suggested me to s-off my cellphone, but I've seen some videos on youtube in which they install stock roms with s-on:

I'm counfused, I thought that both (firmware and RUU.zip), should be flashed via fastboot. Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance.
Never mind guys
Finally I upgraded my HTC to Lollipop.
I freaked out because it didn't boot up after flashing RUU.zip
I decided to go out for dinner and come back and try as many times as needed. Fortunately I realized that I misspelled the command fastboot reboot-bootloader I had forgotten to type the hyphen. Then I reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my pc, tried another usb port and used the RUU.exe. Now my HTC M7 seems to be working perfectly
Thank you very much guys.
