[SOLVED] HTC One Debranding

I just bought an HTC One which is unlocked but it shows the O2 bootscreen. I wish to debrand the phone but will that lock the phone? I am not sure how the phone was unlocked by the previous user. Thanks

No it will not lock the phone, unless you want it locked. Post a fastboot getvar all except remove the imei and serialno and we will be able to direct you how to rebrand your phone.

I dont know if you are talking about sim unlock or bootloader unlock but anyway, both sim and bootloader will stay unlocked even if you flash another rom or if you debrand the phone.

I see
@alray Yeah I mean sim unlock, Can you post a link of a guide to install stock htc rom to debrand. Will I be able to get OTA updates? What steps are needed Unlock bootloader, s-off, change cid custom recovery and install rom? Can you link me to a stock rom with ota for europe or international version. I had a look at the first link in your sig but its kinda confusing.
@nkk71 can you help?

If you want a full conversion, you can s-off the phone, change cid to HTC__001 and flash a x.xx.401.x RUU. Your best option to s-off on hboot 1.57 is probably sunshine s-off but its a paid exploit (25 USD) or you can try firewater, its free but it will require more steps and you have like 50% chance it will not work.
or the easier way, if you only want a debranded rom, you could only unlock the bootloader, flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and then flash a rom (like arhd 71.1)

@alray Hey I did everything and am now trying to get the right RUU for europe or international. I flashed this : RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe and it seems to be fine except I am still s-off and an for some reason an option while doing the initial wizard called Tell HTC tells me this is a test device so this option will remain on. What is causing this? My device is a test device?! Wrong RUU?
Edit: I am updating the phone but it wont find the latest after every boot it finds the next. Now installing 4.3, it was 4.1.2 to begin with..

Tell HTC/test device is normal. You'll always get this message at the initial setup with s-off phones, don't worry with this.
The ruu will not turn back s-on and thats a good thing. Keep your phone s-off.

Yeah I thought it was the s-off causing this. Thanks for you reply, gonna install update after update and see if it comes up with the latest. Bit strange it doesn't install the absolute latest, but I guess the final update size would be huge to have all the fixes in previous versions in one.

updates must be installed incrementally, don't worry you'll eventually be on the latest version.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop after HTC1GURU reset

I wanted to GPE my HTC One m7. Having HBoot 1.57 made things a bit hard. I tried Moonshine, Revone, Firewater and Rumrunner, with no luck.
I decided I would pay for SunShine, but I needed a working system first. The various versions of the aforementioned tools were tested on a variety of roms and versions, which probably made this a real mess.
I ended up using this guide to get back to stock rom with stock recovery. (Apparently I am too noob to post links :-/ Here was a link to HTC1Guru "Reset to Stock for S-On")
It works. However, after applying the hotfix for a new system update, and rebooting, dowloading and installing the new update (4.4.3), I get stuck in a boot loop. My bootloader is unlocked, and I can flash a recovery. Booting up recovery while in this boot loop state gives me the phone with a red triangle warning sign on it.
My phone is S-On, HBoot 1.57, bought in Europe, using the *.*.401.* ROMs.
I've tried installing the stock 4.2.2 ROM twice and then applying update, no success. Any ideas on what I can do to get back to a stock phone, not in a boot loop?
Thanks in advance.

The reason it's bootlooping is because the updates that you are downloading are trying to update your hboot, but because you are already on the latest hboot they are failing.
Could you post your fastboot getvar all please without the imei and serial numbers please.

Ok, first thing is first, you will need twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery on your phone, once that's done, push or sideload the Rom linked below, it's full stock Rom 6.09.401.12 so just one above yours, then flash it like any other Rom.

Reflash a rom or a ruu. Something on /system got corrupt, a factory reset won't fix anything on /system.
What was the problem with root exactly?

Are you sure your version-main is really 7.25.771.551?
You could flash the 7.19.771.21 RUU but since your phone is S-ON you'll have to change your version-main.
file at post #2 of this thread, instruction at post #1. version-main downgrade explained at the end of post #2 (how to downgrade with s-on)
Your other option is to flash any custom rom you'd like from twrp. Most roms are pre-rooted btw. ARHD is good one to start with, stable, looks like a stock rom but with many improvements. There are also some good Sense 7 roms like InsertCoin or NewSenSeven.

Thank you for info, where would i find the stock rom to match my version main, after all, I just wanted to try and "root" the phone in the first place.
If I got it back to original state then maybe i could start over again with proper guidance.
Sorry if I sound like a proper novice............. but i am...........thanks once again.

There is no rom that match your version-main, thats why I suggested that you either change your version-main using the downgrade guide so you can flash the 7.19.771.21 RUU (you'll be able to update back to your current version after) or to flash any custom rom you'd like.

Sorry I understand now, I'll have a shot at downgrading and see how it goes. Thanks for your time and advice.

M7 Trying to get back to stock-but need a helping hand

hey guys, i am now about to sell my m7 after over 2 years
a long time ago when i unlocked the boot loader, and installed tmrp i made a backup of my stock ROM. its been on a usb pen along time now. so today i used twrp to restore it. all when well i then decided to relock the bootloader using fastboot. in my ignorance i thought this was all i would need to do. upon reboot a rom update was found 6.09.401.10. i am currently 6.09.401.5. downloaded and restarted to install the update. recovery wouldnt load. okay that from the twrp flash replacing it. so of course onto xda to find a stock recovery. i believe i found it. but now i am worried- do i need to re unlock the bootloader? will i need to get the token again? or do i need the rru.exe 6.09.401.10? what is the best way to do this as unsure what to do next? as it will need ota updates. i have added my version info below just encase its needed.

To flash a recovery, even if its the stock one, the bootloader must be unlocked. Unfortunately, unlocking the bootloader requires the stock recovery....
I would keep the bootloader locked and flash the latest RUU version for this phone (7.19.401.51). Look in the general section (in the sticky threads) there is one named "Lollipop RUU collection". You'll find that RUU at post #2 and instructions how to flash at post #1. Be sure to use the fastboot version (htc_fastboot) instructed at post #1 (you can't flash a 7.xx.xxx.x ruu with the fastboot version from the android sdk tools).

This is the link to the RUU. Install the file on PC (it is a big file) and connect your phone and run it.
Should return you to stock Lollipop 5.0.2 with Sense 6.
Download the right one for your variant:

No, going from 6.xx.xxx.x to 7.xx.xxx.x isn't a downgrade.

Post your fastboot getvar all output, but erase your IMEI and serial number from it. That way we will be able to point you in the right direction

What a coincidence!
I'm about to "unroot" my old HTC M7 for my kid so he can play Pokemon Go on it.
It has TWRP 3.0.2-0 on it, and the fastboot getvar of it looks like this:

Hmmm rethinking this now.
Not sure if this "old" device will be able to play Pokémon Go when flashed to the original "old" ROM!
it needs Android 4.4+

This old device received officiall Android Lollipop years ago, so you'll be fine with pokemon go. I'm gonna see if I have my old h-boot stored for you when I come home from work. I think you can go directly to the last one because your phone is s-off, but I'm not sure about that because your h-boot is very old. If you can hold on for about 12 hours, I'll point you to the right direction then

Should update his firmware to 7.19.401.2 using the full firmware zip and than he can flash the 7.19.401.51 RUU.

Downgrade your version-main # to 7.18.708.2 using the guide at the end of this post (how to downgrade with s-on). Once done flash the 7.18.708.21 RUU using instruction of this post. Finally you'll have to take 2 ota update so you're back on 7.18.708.51 (if you need to unlock/root again make sure to install update before)

fastboot oem rebootRUU will make your phoned reboot in ruu mode (that black screen with silver htc logo). Once in ruu mode, it's time to flash the ruu using "fastboot flashing zip ruu.zip". During the flashings process you should get an error saying "flush image again immediately", the phone will reboot itself in ruu mode again and the flashing will continue,it's all normal.

If the ruu flashed fine, it's not rooted anymore. Root files are stored on the /system partition which is wiped and flashed back to stock with the ruu.

I'm about to flash the phone.
Can this all be done with TWRP, or do I need to go the ADB way?

Flashing firmware or RUU is done using fastboot commands in RUU mode, not with twrp, neither with adb.

Now flashing the ruu using htc_fastboot.exe
Look at the stickies in the general section to find the lollipop ruu collection thread. Instructions how to flash are provided at post #1.
