Flashing RUU after S-OFF

Hi everyone,
Got my 3 branded HTC One S-Offed today, with the aim of getting the stock cid HTC__001 ROM on there so I can get OTA update ON TIME (Yup, Three still haven't released the 1.29 update)
So my CID's been changed to HTC__001 and flashed the RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe RUU
All went smooth and all the bloatware disappeared, however my software version is still showing as 1.28.771.6 which is the Three ROM software version, which is why i'm guessing it's still not shoiwng any OTA updates available?
Tried flashing again with SuperCID instead and when flashing this tume the RUU utility showed my phone's software version as 1.28.401 like it should have been, however flashed again and same thing, software version still showing up 1.28.771.6!
Feel as though i'm missing something stupid if anyone can help please!

You have to change more than your cid in bootloader it appears twice if not 3 times go read supercid thread in development section

Checked it out, my HTC One is showing HTC__001 as CID with the getprop "ro.cid" command also without having to do anything, so in all three places my CID is correct, am I missing something else?

Sorted this by the way, extracted the rom.zip from the RUU and flashed manually through fastboot, now working!

The radio seems to be the right version now as well? I think I may just run the RUU exe over this again to make sure

This is exactly what i want to do. I have a HTC One from from 3 and want to debrand and go to a stock rom. Have you recieved an OTA update since you have done this? Or are you still on 1.28.401.7 that you flashed?

Yeah, the RUU set's everything back to stock, including recovery

You do NOT need to change all Cid locations for RUU and OTA's. Just the Fastboot one is sufficient. I just tested RUU and OTA and it works fine. You can RUU without even re locking the bootloader with supercid, but to install an OTA you will have to relock bootloader and change cid from 11111111 to whatever carrier you are trying to OTA. I personally have an ATT CWS__001, changed CID to 11111111 with fastboot oem writecid 11111111. (get prop cid is still CWS__001) Ran older Dev edition ruu, installed fine without locking or changing cid. Booted and system Downloaded OTA, of course wouldnt install due to improper system files. Fastboot oem lock and fastboot oem write cid BS_US001 was all i needed to successfully install the OTA. NO HEX EDIT needed.

I see you are on 3, is that in the UK? ... I'm curious that's all as mine is a sim free one and I wondered, when it comes to the 4.2.2 update, will a sim free user get the update at a different time to someone who has a carrier branded phone? I'm on Tesco and just wondered if I'll get the update when they decide to send it to my phone, or will it work differently seeing as I bought the phone sim free?

Yup in the UK, I had a Three branded phone, which officially never even received the 1.29 OTA. If you've got a SIM free phone then it doesn't matter what network your on, you'll get the update same time as the other SIM free phones, it's just branded phones that get updates at different time

Ah sound, operators are a ***** lol, glad I opted for sim free, especially as my contract costs me £7.50 a month and the same one, with a contract phone, cost me £25.

Yes it does as the ROM.zip in the RUU is the complete file - radio, ROM, fw, the lot

Can you please give a few more details about how you installed ROM.zip through fastboot? I have followed all the steps. S-OFFed, HTC__001 cid but when I install the RUU my version number refuses to change.

I'm also guessing that i need to relock my bootloader to flash this ?

I started with the 3 Branded uk phone. I had an unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery on it as i was going to go for a custom rom to fix my Bluetooth issues.
But after seeing the original post and realizing s-off was now available this is what i did.
With Bootloader unlocked and recovery still there i S-Off'd the phone and then set my CID to HTC__001
Then i downloaded RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
I ran this as the .exe i downloaded no extracting or anything it was untouched. It installed fine and i double checked the version on the phone once booted and they all matched.
While i was checking version numbers the update for 1.29.401.12 popped up so i installed that straight away.
Bootloader is still unlocked and i am just waiting for the 4.2.2 update now.

HELP! Sprint HTC ONE M8 won't update past 4.4.3!!!!?

Hey Guys,
I recently upgraded my m7 to a new m8 2 days ago and I can't update it to android 4.4.4. I go to check for updates in settings and it says i'm up to date. I tried updating my profile and prl and still no change.... Do you think because my phone is brand new i have to wait a few days for it to push?
I dont know what to do..
Thanks!

Any luck?
Having the same issue. Bought the M8 about a week ago, still haven't received the update.

I got my M8 last week...I just flashed the Sprint 4.4.4 M8 Ruu

Being rooted has nothing to do with flashing firmware on your device. It has to do with whether or not the device is S-off (which again has nothing to do with root). When S-on you can only install firmware that's digitally signed by HTC, meaning you need to use the full firmware. If you're S-off you can use the unsigned, modified firmware.

Had same problem, RUU from PC completely stock worked fine, then unlock, root, sunshine, and prosper.

I am just trying to get stock lollipop and be able to install future OTAs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

yup I can see what the problem is, but how did you convert to dev edition (OS 1540) with s-on ? that's not AT&T CWS001 firmware, you have mismatches going on there, cid vs firmware

That's what I've been trying to figure out. I'm kind of a noob at this and I probably did something I shouldn't have a few months ago when I tried to convert to developer edition.
I've been trying to get s-off using rumrunner, but with no luck.

your going to have to get s-off using this: http://theroot.ninja/ its the only way to get s-off on HBOOT 1.57, rumrunner wont do it, sunshine will cost you $25
And after you have s-off, follow this little guide to continue your convert to dev edition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/guide-convert-m7-developer-edition-t2840311

That did it! I've been at this for hours. Thank you very much.

Thanks!! This helped me. I have an ATT M7 converted to DEV, but set CID back to ATT to get signal strength working properly. This is the first OTA that refused to load. Setting the CID back to Dev model. Got the Lollipop OTA loaded like a charm. After that set CID back to ATT. Loving Lollipop on an M7 !

M8 HK lollipop 5.0.1 downgrade to 4.4.4

I have purchased a m8 Sprint HK lollipop and would like to downgrade to 4.4.4, should I flash a stock ruu 4.4.4 so i can run sunshine. This phone is s-on no root no nothing fully stock boot loader locked.

Another user posted that they were able to use sunshine with a lower software, but you can't run an RUU to do it. You will still have to unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery. BACKUP your working ROM. (NANDROID). You can then flash a stock 4.4.4 ROM and see if you can run Sunshine.
That being said, I can't see why that theory hasn't been tested. The Sunshine devs are working on an update and it will work with Lollipop. It should be here soon if you want to wait it out.
Also, s-off is not required to install custom roms or kernels or run official RUU for the version you are on or above but is to run any Update Utility to downgrade..
Someone else can chime in and post whether or not they have had success with running a stock 4.4.4 and if they had success with Sunshine. In the meantime, it would not hurt to try it out and post back.
(I do not remember if a locked bootloader is required for Sunshine, if it is you might want to wait for the update) I would suggest against flashing a stock 4.4.4 and locking the bootloader.

You cannot downgrade via RUU while S-on. You can flash a ROM with an older software version but you won't be able to downgrade firmware. You'll need to wait for version 3.0 of Sunshine to be released before you S-off.

I'm in the same situation than THESTONEDONE2014, but I have the HTC One M8 (Sprint) Non HK running 5.01 lollipop. I've rooted my phone. I need to unlock the SIM and the bands to be able to used in my carrier outside of US. All the tutorials are based on 4.4.4 and not in 5.01. So I would like to come back to 4.4.4.
Do you know if there is any way to do it with a S-ON device?. Sunshine and firewater didn't work for me.

[Q] Need help figuring out how to update

I have an ATT M7. I am on T-Mobile. The phone is now unlocked. It is still running Android 4.3.
ATT software update doesn't find any updates - presumably because I need an ATT sim in there.
So how can I upgrade this to 4.4 and later 5.0?
Thanks!

well from there you can either follow clsA link and change to developer edition, which will require changing cid, mid and flash the RUU, dev edition gets the quickest updates, although its very touch and go at the moment as to whether the M7 is going to get anymore updates, or you can do the same with the latest T-mo RUU which is here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-t-mobile/news/ that will also require you to change your cid and mid, after doing that follow the manual instructions on the HTC site, download link for the RUU is at the bottom.

no you dont need to lock as your s-off, unlocked is fine.
locked / relocked for flashing firmware or RUU's is only required for s-on users and limited to 1 step forward or current only.

So now the ruu times out on sending.......
So I extracted the rom.zip. If I flash it from twrp since it has a recovery image in it, will it overwrite twrp?
I'm assuming yes and then I would have to fast boot twrp back again.
Is this correct? Thanks
