[Q] My HTC One recently unrooted, how do i return to stock RUU?

I'm S-OFF. My device is recently unrooted, and my version is 1.28.771.10 on the THREE 3 UK network. It seems there isn't an RUU for my phone released by three. Is there any way that I can return to stock so that my phone is as new? Step by step instructions would be appreciated as i'm very new to this. My bootloader is also locked.

I am on 3 UK also.
Have done this many times .
As you have S off you can change your cid (customer or carrier id) from H3G__001 (which is 3 UK)
to so called super cid which is
11111111 (eight 1's)
When in bootloader fastboot usb mode
C:\adb> fastboot oem writecid 11111111
This will allow you to use any version RUU for your model.
Best one is WWE version which has 401 in the place where yours had 771.
I have always been unlocked when doing this. As you have got S off I will assume you can unlock bootloader.
Then download to your pc the appropriate ruu, I would suggest file (very long filename, I will just list first part of filename - will edit post to add download link)
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7
Download this to your pc
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...31.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
It's a large file 990 MB .
The following will delete all your data, photos, video, music, txt , etc (phone number should remain in SIM ) so BE SURE TO COPY FROM PHONE TO PC ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KEEP.
Then connect your HTC One to your pc with usb cable (usb 2, preferably) and simply run the program you've just downloaded .
Your phone can be either in fastboot mode or with android running, doesn't matter which .
Follow on screen instructions, ticking boxes as appropriate.
Total process takes approximately ten minutes from starting the program to finish.
When finished you will be on stock 1.28.401.6 which is original Android 4.1.1
However if you wish you can easily update Ota (over the air) through successive versions up to 4.2 by entering settings then about then software updates then check now
Hope this helps

Hey buddy, I know this is an old threat but you're on the exact same network as me and such.
I managed to get back to stock, and i'm on android version 4.1.2... but i can't seem to find any OTA android updates? Which is the main reason why I unrooted my phone. Tried the google framework fix too. Got any ideas?

If you are supercid (11111111) you will not get ota. You must change cid to one that match you OS base.

I had to SUPER CID to flash this particular RUU.
If I change my CID back now, will this mean my RUU is redundant and then brick my phone?
And the original CID was H3G_001. Do I need to go back to this one?

no its safe to change CID, you will never get OTA with supercid from this carrier
change back your cid to H3G__001 (2 lower case H3G _ _001)
Code:
fastboot oem writecid H3G__001 [COLOR="SeaGreen"]---> cid change[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader [COLOR="SeaGreen"]--> reboot and go back to fastboot usb[/COLOR]
fastboot oem readcid [COLOR="SeaGreen"]--->confirm cid is now H3G__001[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot [COLOR="SeaGreen"]--->reboot to system[/COLOR]
then install ota

1- easy on the double posting , then make up your mind, where you wanna post, so people can actually help
2- what ruu are you referring to?
3- no just changing CID back to original (H3G__001) does not mean you're going to get any OTA if the ^^ ruu is not H3G

well if you are on CID H3G_001 then this "change my RUU to a particular RUU" (there is no particular RUU) makes no sense at all, if you are S-Off:
1- you can change CID to unbranded and use an unbranded RUU
2- you can use one of the guides around here to go back to H3G stock

[SOLVED][Q] Hboot 1.54, S-ON - Debrand, receive ota, without htc-dev unlock

Hello,
probably silly question and you will order me to study xda.
Unfortunately, i have came through almost every single topic, and can't get to "move" from my situation.
I received Htc One with Hboot v 1.54.000, locked bootloader - S-ON.
Software number 2.24.111.5 (android 4.2.2 with Sense 5). My cid (read through CidGetter from playstore) - T-MOB101.
I am trying to avoid unlocking bootloader via htc-dev, as afaik it voids the warranty.
I am not interested in custom roms. Rather, i would like to "fool" the phone and make it like it was European distribution, with no branding, so i would receive OTA as anyone else with unbranded phone.
If i understood correctly, to achieve this, basically i need to change my CID to european or supercid, which will enable to install any ruu from htc. But european otas would be enough for me. To change cid, i need S-OFF, right ?
There are basically three methods, if i read correctly, right ?
1, Revone - doesn't work with Hboot 1.54
2, Moonshine - Works without htc-dev unlocking, but installs custom bootloader, which will disable otas to install.
3, Rumrunner - Works with 1.54 bootloader, but i need to htc dev unlock ?
So, am i understanding correctly, that as long as i dont want to htc dev unlock, i am stuck to my cid, and dependent from german t-mobile ? So i can only hope, some dev will find exploit in Hboot 1.54 ?
Isn't there any miracle, that could help to solve my problem ?
Thanks

Rumrunners is the only solution with an htc dev unlock...
If you will remove the cid and put an european is the best thing to do.
You can always put the locked string

Yes,
but Htc will know, that i requested unlock keys.
Won't be that problem ?
Also, does htc-dev unlock automatically mean warranty void ?

Yeah, i know that htc will know, but i never had a problem.
When i had the Evo 3D i unlocked with htcdev and after s-offed, so i relocked and s-on for warranty e no prob
MY friends with this phone didn't had any problem with warranty also with an unlocked with htcdev...

Remusator - I'm looking for the same thing: I have UK orange firmware, and was hoping to get stock/unbranded CID so I can get regular OTAs. Please let me know if you figure it out

Desperately waiting and hoping for some dev to soff without dev.
Today an arcticle came through my hands, saying "Unlocked htc one - kitkat till end of the month". Still don't have even Jelly :/
Is someone working on this ? Please

Hello, thanks for answer. :good:
If i agree to unlock my bootloader, could i achieve things mentioned in first post ?
Could you please give me some more detailed guide (alternatively steps with topic links), which i need to proceed ?
Al i need is to fool the phone to think, that it's unlocked and receive ota's like any other european unlocked htc one.
Thanks

OK, European unbranded:
1- get s-off: http://rumrunner.us/ (follow instructions !)
2- change CID to European unbranded such as HTC__001
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 <- two underscores
3- I assume your model number (MID) is already PN0710000
4- remove TAMPERED, and set your phone back to LOCKED, you can use this tool from within CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194
5- Run the following RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
after the above, your phone will not be fooled into thinking it's European unbranded, it will be European unbranded, and you'll receive the OTAs.
Let me know if you need more explanations, and hit the thanks button if I've helped

Hello, thanks.
However, i am completely stock. So i don't have CWM recovery yet.
In which step will i get it ? Or am i missing something ?
Also, CID change - is it really so easy ? I have seen some guides where people needed to download, edit and then flash some hex files.

OK, so before point 1 above:
a) use HTCdev to unlock
b) download CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863 and flash it in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> enter recovery
c) for rumrunner to work, you need a close to stock rom with root access, so get one from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/, probably this one should work: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-111-3-zip/
you need to push that to your phone:
adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/ <- this will take 5 to 10 minutes without any progress bar, then report success
d) in CWM recovery, now select "install zip" -> "choose zip" and flash the rom
If you're using the Guru Reset ROM, then select WIPE, select ROOT, unselect "stock recovery"
and then proceed to rumrunner
"Also, CID change - is it really so easy ?" <- yes with S-off, it is easy, and you wont have any hex-editing to do, now or in future OTAs

Thanks, and what will be my phone status after this procedure ?
What hboot version, son/soff, unlocked/locked.
And what recovery ? Original, or cwm ?

the phone will be unTAMPERED, LOCKED (not relocked), 100% out-of-the box European unbranded, HTC Sense 5 ROM v1.28.401.7, but you'll receive OTAs up to 4.3 I think.
recovery will be stock recovery not CWM, so you can receive OTA
The phone will remain S-Off, and I suggest keeping it, if YOU INSIST on going S-On you can do so after running the RUU, but before taking any OTAs, by using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"

Ok, just to make sure.
When will be CWM recovery replaced with original one ? After running RUU ?
I definitely don't insist on S-ON. My warranty will be void anyways because of htc-dev unlock. And in case my phone would break down, i need S-OFF to restore everything to original.
Are there any security risks when i'm S-OFF ? Such as malware android applications etc ? As i have understood, no.
Can / should i take some full backup of my original rom, device, bootloader, recovery in case that something goes totally wrong ?
Many many thanks

Exactly after running the RUU.exe it will restore EVERYTHING back to stock: hboot, recovery, firmware, kernel, ROM, radio

I don't know much about warranty and what IS and IS NOT allowed, every users experience seems different, just read one today: he sent it s-off, rooted, custom rom, etc. but the blown speakers were fixed, and no questions asked.

No security issues whatsoever, S-Off will only allow you to write to certain partitions you can't with S-On. The ROM (Android 4.x.x) is responsible for the malware etc.

Sure, backups are always good.
And I just checked, there's also a Guru Reset here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ (not your version but close enough)
And there are a couple of nandroids around as well.

1- Yes you need root
2- the link you provided only works if you are S-Off already
3- backup everything to PC (pics, music, etc)
4- use Call Logs Backup & Restore and SMS Backup & Restore if you need them (free apps in Play Store)
5- use Helium for apps+data, since you can't use Titanium
6- backup ROM using nandroid
7- dont worry too much about the nandroid, there are ones on @crushalots site

Hello, i cannot get through this point. I have installed HTC Sync, then uninstalled, so only drivers remained on my system.
I can use adb when the phone is normally booted, but then i don't have permission to write to that location.
When i reboot to recovery, adb devices shows empty list. Also that funny thing in windows taskbar starts spinning, finds "One", but fail to install driver.
Update1:
Ok, i managed to update adb driver to Android one. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830108 device manager section)
Now i'm at next step. I pushed zip to /data/media/, but after choosing install zip, there is none on sdcard.
Trying to push that again.
Update2:
File appeared after second push. Installing right now. Hope phone will wake after this procedure. Fingers crossed, holding breath.
Update3
Ok, i flashed RUU, everything is fine until now.
Slovak language / Slovakia as location is missing. Should / can i change my CID for something and install corresponding RUU for that CID, so i would have Slovak Language ? I also get red text saying "THIS IS TEST DEVICE...."
I think, the correct CID for my region is HTC__032 - East Europe
What is the language dependent on ? Because the same RUU you recommended for me is also for HTC__032. Is the file same and languages are allowed based on CID, or how does this work ?
Also HTC_001 is in the first wave of updates ?
Thanks

delete pls

[Q] Lost in an attempted update, AT&T M7 Sense 5.0 to 6.0

Good afternoon everyone,
So what my current situation is:
HTC ONE M7 -AT&T(Best Buy Blue Edition) activated on Criket
Android 4.3
Sense 5.0
Tampered
RElocked
S-off
HBOOT-1.55
TWRP-2.8.7.0
I'm attempting to update using the RUU from HTC's website for my phone. Everytime I run it, as soon as it starts to send the first package the installer has an error and is forced to close. I have the PC and my phone talking in FASTBOOT USB with the above current situation. I was getting the 155 error, but with the help of this forum I have gotten past that.
All I want to do is update my phone so I can get the better battery life and get Facebook working in my blinkfeed again.
Where do I go from here?
I am very computer literate, I just don't have a whole lot of experience with bootloading android. Flashing wasn't so hard though, and I'm comfortable in ADB/Fastboot. I have been going through all the guides on here I could find. It is how I got this far, but now I just don't know what to do. I still keep getting the same error.
P.S. Thanks for all the resources guys, it has already been such a big help!

Update: I was able to successfully run to completion the RUU for Cingular Sense 5.0 version 3.17 the same one as my phone, so now in the interest of sounding stupid I'm going to download and try Sense 5.5 and then step up to Sense 6.0 staying on the Cingular RUU path.
TLDR: old Update:
While I wait I decided to tinker. So for ****s and giggles I tried installing the RUU from "Android RUU" UL-3.17 the same version I already have. No real reason, just to see what would happen. It is progressing now, but has already made it much further than any attempt at installing the RUU from HTC which is also an UL Cingular version, but for version 7.23.
Just in case this information helps in my diagnosis.

Alright, So update to Sense 5.5 fails everytime at 5% again. Now it is saying it is an Error 171 USB Connection error.
I tried it on both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.

you can't flash a 7.xx.xxx.x RUU if your phone isn't already running at least a 6.xx.xxx.x firmware. May I ask why you want to stay on cingular version (at&t) ? If you are not using an at&t sim card you won't receive ota updates and since you are not on at&t you don't need all the at&t bloatware on your phone... You already have s-off you could simply change your cid to the developer edition or supercid and use the developer edition ruu...

I'm not opposed to that, the only reason I was trying to stick with it was just to leave as few variables as possible since this is foreign territory to me.
As long as I still get Sense 6.0 I'll run any RUU.
Which one would you recommend if so?

I would simply flash the developer edition 6.07.1540.2 firmware first so your phone will accept the 7.17.1540.7 ruu.
you'll then receive an ota update to 7.17.1540.21 which is the final version with android 5.0.2 htc sense 6.0
If you want to go that way, you'll need to:
change your cid to supercid or dev edition cid:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
or
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
flash the 6.07.1540.2 stock firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip Firmware_6.07.1540.2.zip
fastboot flash zip Firmware_6.07.1540.2.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and flash (run) the 7.07.1540.7 ruu.exe.

So after I flash 6xxx, I simply run the Brightstar RUU you linked? Or do I try and do it through the cmd again?

Yes after updating the firmware to 6.07.1540.2 your phone will accept the 7.17.1540.7 ruu, just run the ruu.exe with the phone still in bootloader mode.

yes, there will be only one update, from 7.17.1540.7 to 7.17.1540.21, if you don't receive any notification for it, let me know I'll link the ota update zip file and explain you how to flash it manually.

Thank you for all of your help good sir. I've been fighting with this since 8 o clock last night...
Update: all taken care of, now it is just a matter of installing my apps and setting things back up again.
Thank you again sir, you were very helpful and straight to the point! Exactly what I needed.

Ok, one thing I've run into, while installing my apps and updated and such.
Facebook won't install. It gives me "Unknown error code -504"
I tried clearing cache's and no go, I googled it but I can't find a 504 code.

Clear google play cache, find the facebook installation folder (com.facebook.katana), deleted everything, reboot the phone and try to install again.

International ROM on T-Mobile Variant

Hi, I am very very new to HTC. This is my first HTC phone.
I just bought the HTC One M7 (T-Mobile Unlocked) Variant, I have one simple question. How do I install "international stock ROM" (UK or something like that, not GPE ROM) on my t-mobile phone. I hate all the bloatwares from t-mobile.
Please give me a guided path step by step (I will really appriciate it)
Phone is brand new, not rooted, got it yesterday.
Screenshot attached for more details.
I have found the following - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/stock-rom-t-mobile-m7-help-s-off-t2909334
but it is very outdated
Please help
Thanks so much

"T-Mobile" isn't a variant of the M7, its a carrier brand. T-Mobile phones are the M7_UL variant which is the most common one. You can simply unlock the bootloader flash a stockish/ debranded rom for the M7_UL or if you want you can do the full conversion to the x.xx.401.x version using a RUU (requires S-OFF). Is your phone sim-locked to t-mobile? If yes you'll also need to sim-unlock it, flashing a rom or doing the conversion will not remove the sim-lock.

Current version soft ver is 7.18.531.35
Do I need s-off
Do I need to unlock the booloader
Note: Phone is unlocked
Thanks

First I would recommend you should use the7.19.401.51 version which is the latest one. In order to flash one of these RUU you will first need to achieve S-OFF, Change your CID number, change your MID number and finally flash the RUU.
Achieve S-OFF with Sunshine, will cost you USD 25$ to use the app, no there isn't any free method.
Change your CID to HTC__001 (do the commands when booted in bootloader/fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
fastbooot reboot-bootloader
Change your MID to PN0710000: (do the commands when booted in a custom recovery or when booted in a rooted rom)
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x50\x00\x4e\x00\x30\x00\x37\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=1 seek=16384
exit
Then flash the 7.19.401.51 RUU with the instruction posted in the RUU colelction thread at post #1.

Htc one m7 sprint stuck at Grey screen while trying to change cid

I was trying to change the cid of my m7 but after flashing some files it just stuck on this Grey screen.. the tutorial i was following said that i can use adb commands on this screen but i cant because this phone is recognised as malfunctioning now (after that adb command) in my pc with windows 10.. i don't know much abt these stuff but it would be really helpful if i can revive this phone.
If u need any info just le me know..ill post it asap.

Flashing files to change CID? CID can be changed using "fastboot oem writecid <your_desired_cid>", no file flashing required.
Are you talking about MID change? Hope you did not followed the crappy guide making users flash an eng bootloader?
And why are you trying to change your CID (or MID) on a Sprint phone?

PS. i don't have any recovery installed.

There are much more up-to-date and safer guides to change your MID. Did you read to moderator comment (in red) before reading the guide? The last pages of the thread? The guide you just followed made you flash an engineering bootloader made for the Droid DNA, not even designed for the M7 (hence the gray screen). This bootloader version is 1.39 which mean it will not allow you to connect (use fastboot) with any Windows 8 or 10 computer. So from now you must use a Win 7, XP, Linux or Mac machine to be able to use fastboot commands.
If your goal was to restore the original Sprint MID and CID on your phone that's ok. If you are trying to change your MID/CID to something else than Sprint, this is totally useless since only Sprint RUU will flash correctly on a Sprint phone (no conversion possible for this variant).
What was the error when flashing the RUU?
The first step out of this will be to flash twrp recovery (the wls version) so you can revert your MID back to Sprint and flash an old sprint RUU or firmware.zip.

you'll first need to flash back a Sprint bootloader. Then flash twrp and revert your MID and CID back to sprint using twrp's terminal and finally flash a sprint RUU.
