[Q] HTC One w ARHD12 - how to get Three's 4G update?

OK, so about 9 months ago I rooted my Three branded HTC one, installed CWM recovery and put ARHD12 on there and it's been brilliant. Three are now rolling out the 4G radio updates which as far as I understand is entirely separate to any ROM such as ARHD. So how do I get the radio update? Do I have to go back to stock? If so, now's the time to confess I didn't take a backup before I installed ARHD. So I guess I need the most recent Three RUU - do I have to remove CWM before I install it? I'm not a n00b - I managed to do this on my own last time and I'm fairly technically competent. The only problem I have now is one of time - I can't spend an entire day figuring stuff out due to the 9-month old bundle of joy that requires a fair bit of attention! If you can help me with a fairly simple outline of what to do in what order, that would be very much appreciated. Cheers!

You will have to return completely to stock. That means everything must be as it was out of the box. As for the ruu for your carrier, if they released it then it should be in one of the stickies.

I'm on Three in the UK and before I flashed a custom ROM I made sure I got S-Off then flashed the latest unbranded firmware(FUU_4.19.401.9-TWRP2633_combined_nowipe.exe which I got from XDA) and then changed my CID to SuperCID. After that I flashed custom ROM without flashing a stock ROM. LTE/4G works perfectly ok.

Thanks Heat57. I'm currently S-On, Unlocked, Tampered. I've also found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
which seems to contain all of the radio files in the world, and also all of the firmware. This radio:
(1.29.401.12 WWE OTA) Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L
Looks interested, but you say you never flashed your radio? When did you get your one?
I'm thinking from your post I'm going to get S-OFF (using Revone, yes?) and flash a firmware to see if the 4G radio options show up. I can't see the one you mentioned - could you recommend one from the above thread? Also, it says TWRP - I'm using CWM - is that a problem?
Final question - if I do a backup I'm backing up the radio and firmware as well? So if I make a total plums of this I can get back to CWM and restore?
TIA for any further help you can give me

Well, I flashed the firmware, which amongst other hardware bits includes the radio. My first goal was to unlock the bootloader and then S-Off, as the latter removes any potential issues with firmware flashes and the like. I also went and changed CID to 11111111, which I understand is SuperCID and enables flashing of firmware and ROMs of different CID designations. Please beware, YOU MUST BE S-OFF FOR FIRMWARE FLASHING!!!
Regarding your question of revone, if you're on hboot 1.44 then yes, revone, hboot version 1.54 and 1.55 only work with rumrunner and latest versions require the 'firewater' exploit.
I am relatively new to HTC, although I owned an original Desire many years ago, so I still remember the peculiarities of HTC ROM. I had a Galaxy Note 2 and rooting and flashing ROMs there is a piece of cake by comparison. I digress.
Unlike most other manufacturers, where you get everything included in the custom ROM, it seems with HTC that is not the case, hence if you want to update your radio for example, you need to flash a firmware package. Therefore, I am not certain if a Nandroid would restore the firmware, if you encounter any problems, maybe someone more knowledgeable can confirm. In any event, if you're S-Off then flashing any firmware for the M7ul should work, so worst case, if you mess up you could always flash the one I pointed out via adb. Here is a link to the latest firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651
Regarding the recovery, I just prefer TWRP and use the one but last version 2.6.3.4, which works perfectly. #However, there is no reason why your CWM should not be adequate. Before I took the jump, after just receiving my One, I read through the threads for about a day to make sure I got it right.
Finally, if you end up rooted and S-Off then there is a supper little flashable zip called 'Guru_Bootloade_Reset_1.0.zip' that allows you to remove the tampered flag, relock the bootloader and unlock it again by simply flashing it and selecting what you want in it's aroma installer. You'll find it on XDA as well, justuse the search function.

[Q] To RUU or not to RUU

I have a Sprint HTC One M7 that has been flashed to Pageplus Cellular. I have flashed multiple custom ROMS (Bad Boyz 4.3 sense 5 , Ecliptic 4.4.3, Bad Boyz Sense 6 4.4.3, and currently Eragon V54 which is also 4.4.3) They all have instructions on requiring a certain firmware level, but I have been afraid that updating the firmware might ruin my flash.
The ROMS all seem to run fine and I don't understand what I may be missing by not updating the firmware level.
Also, when I recevied the phone, it had a custom ROM installed so I have no idea what the last firmware update was. The phone is s-Off and has Hboot 55

you dont have to RUU to flash a firmware. Use the modified firmware meant for S-OFF people

OK Thanks for that, but my main question is do I really need to upgrade the firmware as a prereq to to flashing new custom ROMs. The ROMs I flashed all seem to wok well with updating the firmware.

I think the only thing it will affect is your calling experience where one of the callers can't hear each other so best bet is if your calls are working and everything feels fine then u should be OK.

HTC One M7 Sprint bricked

Hi,
I was running cyanogenmod 11 nightly and I was trying to flash the stock HTC sense ROM on my phone, but I think I wiped the system and there is no OS installed.
I am on hboot 1.57 and S-On. I have tried several RUUs, but they can't detect my phone.
Please Help!

Your thread has been moved to the Q&A section. Please do not create new threads in the Development section, unless it is development. Please look through the XDA rules, once you have resolution to your issue.
Thank you.

is your bootloader locked or unlocked? if unlocked, do you have a custom recovery installed? if you can access fastboot and s-on, you're almost certainly not bricked.
also, out of curiosity, what is the error you get when running the RUU exe when it says you can't detect your phone?

I have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed, but it can't mount the system to flash a ROM.
I think I was getting error 170 USB connection error.

I was also getting error 170 just yesterday that the RUU couldn't detect the phone. it was happening for me with the bootloader locked (and unlocked too for that matter). i don't have an answer for that yet.
As for the system mounting, I was having the same problem . I went into TWRP, went to Mount and mounted data. I'm not sure if that step mattered. I then went into Wipe/Advanced Wipe and wiped everything (except usb-otg), which I believe formatted system and data properly, but cache was still a problem. I then used "adb push" to push a ROM to internal storage and flashed it. At this point, everything was working except cache was still not able to mount. When I hit the wipe cache/dalvik button after flashing the ROM though it formatted cache properly (I had previously done fastboot format cache which made it unreadable). Basically, just wiping and flashing until I had it working again.
Let me know if this works for you too.

Thanks Vember31!
I'll try it tomorrow and i'll let you know if it works.

Hey Guys!
I was able to un-brick my phone with the correct version of the RUU. I don't know how I was able to fix the USB error, but my computer was able to recognize my phone. I am back on stock HTC Sense 6 with android 4.4.2 kit kat. I am going to put some sort of stock android ROM on it.
Are there any other ROMS other than cyanogenmod that you would recommend?

Which RUU did you use??
There are a handful of great AOSP roms out right now for m7spr. I'd check the Sprint HTC One Android Development threads. In terms of lollipop, we have CM12 (unofficial), liquid smooth, pac beta builds, unofficial aicp (new) and a couple of 5.0+ GE/Sense builds. There are no active roms in the Original Android Development threads at this time. I've tried all of the aosp builds and would say they're all comparable, though with some i've had "no sim card" issues

[Q] [URGENT] Please help my Sprint HTC One wont flash kernels!!!

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a sprint htc one on ebay and I'm having trouble with it. I s-off'd the phone and unlocked it so I could install twrp and insertcoin. I did all of that but when I went to flash a kernel my phone began rebooting every 5 minutes and it lost the baseband, imei, service, etc. when in the os. Now its problem has stemmed and gotten worse, the phone now wont even flash other kernels. It says successfully flashed and then if I reboot to the os and check either it flashed and says unkown kernel, baseband, imei, prl, etc. or it didn't change anything. I'm at a loss. I believe it may have been a faulty ruu upgrade that messed up/partially corrupted the boot, data, cache, and radio partitions.

Did you flashed kernels compatible with sprint variant (M7WLS) ? M7_U and M7_UL stuff (kernel recovery and roms) is not compatible with sprint M7.
I guess the answer is no
You have flashed a M7_UL kernel on your M7WLS. M7_UL kernel partition is mmcblk0p33.
mmcblk0p33 partition on the sprint variant is guess what? You radio partition... that would explain why your imei, baseband prl and other "radio" stuff aren't working. Make sense?
Nothing to worry about, this is recoverable. Re-flash your rom (a sprint compatible rom) using a sprint compatible custom recovery. Then if you still want a custom kernel, flash it but make sure its sprint compatible
:good:
You should be able to find everything (roms, kernels) in the sprint htc one forum. For the recovery, i.e twrp, just make sure you flash one that ends with M7WLS.img and not M7.img

I flashed insertcoin rom for the sprint variant. I have chosen sprint and reflashed multiple times. On insert coin sprint i cant flash kernels at all, same with nusenseven, but with viperone 9.0.0 i can flash kernels but it removes my baseband and imei and corrupts my radio partition and i then have to reflash the radio which reverts my kernel back to the stock kernel for some reason.

If you are sure you have tried only sprint kernels then I would try other roms to see if its a problem with the rom you are using. If you are using the right combination, you shouldn't have any issue. Recovery, rom and kernel must be compatible with sprint (m7wls). Kernel must also be compatible with your android version (a kernel designed for lets say android 4.4.2 won't work on 5.0.2).

I honestly dont know what the problem is, all i can say is dont use viper4android or insertcoin if you have a sprint device. It doesnt work. What did work is i flashed nusenseven and everything works after i extracted and fastboot flashed the boot.img from the rom.

M7 WLS (no sim, no IMEI, no signal)

Brought a M7 off New Zealand trading site like ebay.
It came with a htc one soul xiaoxiang 8002_x21.0 rom, one i have been unable to find.
But i went ahead a threw the stock RUU at it and now no matter the rom's i flash my phone with im getting no signal, no sim card.
As far as i have played around its the radio, i recall that the xiaoxiang had a "radio" and "beats audio" app? but all the Sprint roms i have tried, about 10 havn't had the radio fix nor have any of them helped.
Feels like im going round and round in circles.
Can anyone suggest a rom or a fix?
I brought this model of phone because i wanted to abuse the infrared blaster and that was the driving factor i reverted to a stock ruu. But at this stage i just want to be able to use my New Zealand sim card!

Hello, what is your CID AND MID?

CID is 11111111
Device serial number is FA357S905147
Model is HTC PN072
Current have a badboyz rome Lollipop 5.0.2, Sense 6.0
Baseband is unknown
Imei unknown
Played around with different radio versions today, result was disappointing.

I'll run adb and try get the MID. i think thats where i get it.
I do have the HTC unlock file on my other computer.

hey bro i solved this problem by
(a)make a backup of the rom by twrp
(b)factery wipe the phone including OS i.e SYSYTEM
(C) Let it boot up till it gets stuck on the htc logo since it has no OS
(D)power off, go into boot loader and on fastbootusb type "Fastboot oem rebootRUU"
(E)THEN FLASH THIS RADIO "1.01.20.1225_6.16.651.2_radio"
(F)after youve flashed it reboot in to bootloader (Fastboot reboot-bootloader) and confirm if you have the radio
(last)restore your backup from twrp and enjoy

Still have this issue, upgraded to 7.1.1
As far as i know, its some sort of sprint lock.
The phone is GSM, but it doesnt matter if im running fireware from when the phone was first released or the lastest update, nothing solves the issue.
There has to be a file or script in the root files that has disabled this function.
