Hi folks,
I've got a HTC One M7 that I converted to a GPE version to give to a family member to use. They've given the phone back to me after a coulpe of years of use and I'm trying to tinker with it and install a Custom ROM (lineage 14.1 or a.n.other). I've flashed TWRP and tried a few different ROMs and keep getting the error 'error 7'.
I've tried to follow a couple of posts to change the META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script file to remove the 'assert' line and this hasn't worked for me.
I thought i'd try to just flash a stock Europe RUU Zip to 'revert' it back to a non-GPE version, but this doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure whether it's the files I'm trying to flash (which seem to be a nightmare to try and get hold of now that htc1guru.com seems to have died) or something else.
Any help?

Hi,
Just a few days ago, HTC has made available the 4.3 update of HTC One developer. And I am having problem with it. I cannot update.
To start with, I actually had a custom recovery. I performed the two previous update by flashing back and forth the custom and stock recovery and just went with OTA update. This time, I am doing the same thing and it doesn't work despite many attempts. I then downloaded the .zip files from HTC dev site with two hopes.
1. I think I might have the problem with the custom recovery. I thought of downloading the zip file and upzipping it for the stock recovery. Sadly, I cannot unzip what I downloaded on HTC dev. It always appear as the archive is corrupted.
2. I then downloaded the PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.22.1540.1 hoping to perform manual update using CWM touch. Sadly, again, CWM cannot extract/read the zip and the return value was BAD.
I am so frustrated right now having no idea what is wrong with my phone. :crying:
Appreciate your help!
Easiest thing is to download the full RUU that's on HTCDev now (the EXE one), connect the phone in fastboot mode and then run the RUU. If you have a DE phone it'll just update and you're good to go. It'll overwrite the customer recovery and reset the phone to 100% stock so back up your data first as it WILL delete it all!
You cannot unzip the RUU ZIP on HTCDev as HTC have encrypted them but there are ways around it (I don't know how tho!)
If you don't have a DE phone then you'll need S-OFF to flash the RUU
Here are the steps for you to do. Follow link. Since you have CWRM you are rooted.. let me know if you have any questions..

Hi all,
For the longest time I've been sporting a CM11 4.4.2 ROM and have wanted to change things up... problem is I can't! I tried updating my TWRP (it was quite a few versions behind before), I've tried installing 4.4.4 roms and 5.0 roms and I can't get about 80% of them to flash. The message that pops up in TWRP when I do have this problem is:
"This package is for devices: m7wls, m7spr; this devices is m7."

What I don't understand is that I am on sprint, and I do have the HTC One m7 and I am downloading ROMs from the HTC One Sprint section.... so what gives? I've been trying to find more information about this and I did find a post on another forum suggesting to unzip the rom file and change the updater-script to include m7 then rezip so I tried that and the above quoted message does go away but TWRP still doesn't let me flash the ROM.
Any help would be a appreciated.

You've probably flashed wrong TWRP. Make sure to flash the TWRP for m7wls.
I must have been installing the m7 specific version of twrp, I google'd twrp m7wls and installed that version and it worked without a hitch. Thanks lerenturk!
Happy to help you, Jaeryl.
i tried to use some custom Rom, and i follow the instruction of how to unlock and flash custom Recovery, it was all good until I accidently wiped everything on my phone including the system, now it stuck in the bootleader and TWRP. The thing is when I tried to get back to stock, there is no such RUU available, it should be RUU 7.21.980.22 by vodafone australia. I really did my research the whole day and tried to sideload the latest Revolution HD 9.2 ROM, but it failed. Please, is there anyone could save me out of this. Many thanks.

What is your TWRP version?
What is your adb version?
Are you talking about ARHD 92.2? 9.2 is a typo?
Problem solved
First of all, thanks a lot for the reply from @alray.
My problem was solved by installing the updated driver of HTC one m7 on the computer, so the computer can recognize the virtual SD card. Then i could put the ARHD 92.0 into my phone, and simply flash it using TWRP recovery. About 24 hours research, it was so anxious and frustrated, but after going through all of this, i could say that the chance of brick the phone is really negligible, because there are so many people sharing their ideas and solutions. Thanks to all of you.
By the way, my TWRP version is 2.8.5.0
Hi,
I am sorry if this has already been addressed, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyway I am trying to get the OTA update and my main goal is to do it without losing all my data (yes I have a backup, yes I'd rather stay as far away from wiping my device as possible). My device is on the stock sense ROM, I have S-OFF and I am rooted with TWRP recovery. I've been following this guide, ( http://www.theandroidsoul.com/t-mob...mware-and-recovery-version-1-32-531-33-82340/ ) and I've gotten to the part where I need to flash the system file, this is where I get stuck I continuously get an error that reads "target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi". If anyone has any idea how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You must be new to S-OFF. Well let me tell you... you're S-OFF!!! you don't need to do all that. What you're really looking for is to update your firmware without wiping. Follows instruction here in the OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-t3068243
It's pretty direct. Download the NOWIPE zip and fastboot flash it. Done. Firmware will be updated. You then can just download an updated stock rom and install that with TWRP.

Yes, I am new to S-OFF, I've had an S4 for the last two years and never needed it, I understand the basic idea behind it but I didn't fully understand what I could so with it. Anyway, I have followed the instruction from your link and flashed the no wipe firmware, but I am still unable to flash a stock ROM, I am now getting this error:

Any Ideas? I feel like its something really stupid that I am missing but I've reall just hit a wall here.

Looks like you're trying to flash an OTA. What I meant was to flash a stock ROM... but I looked in our dev section and noticed nobody has created one lol.
I'm a bit rusty on flashing stock stuff, but you should really ask the guys in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...lease-read-rooting-using-twrp-t3069022/page34
My guess is that you just want to update your system too. I think i saw someone dumped the system and boot img and you can flash those, but I don't recall the exact method.
Basically S-OFF allows you to access different.. uuhh "partitions" (sorry bad terminology) because it bypasses any security checks. Partitions such as your firmware and radio. That's pretty much what S-OFF does. It allows you to flash any of the firmware and radios across all the different versions.
I would suggest to take a dip into custom roms and choose T-mobile as the carrier lol. I personally like Leedroid's rom, he keeps it pretty stock and is an awesome responsive dev.

Alright, Ill look into that thread. I've read about S-OFF in the past and I'm very familiar with rooting and ROMs from my last few phones but OTAs were never something I worried about (since I always used a custom ROM). In all honesty I like sense 7, and I need WiFi calling for work (I spend a lot of time in places without service, like data centers), so I think I am going to try to stick with stock. Anyway, thanks for all your help!

Yeah I can tell by how long you've been a member here. But the thing with HTC ONE is that a lot of the custom roms are based off stock and they even compile it so that the aroma installer allows you to choose your carrier so that it will install it based off of your carrier's stock base. I work in a similar environment and also need wifi calling and these custom roms have that feature.
LeeDroid, insertcoin, viperrom (off the top of my head) should have working wifi calling.
Basically you install their rom and they ask you which carrier you want to install it for... choose T-mobile. And you should be set. Now I know that the new fw was just released for T-mobile, so I'm not sure if insertcoin and Viper have updated theirs yet, but i know for sure that LeeDroid has updated his. Give it a shot and come back to the custom flashing world lol
OOPS looks like LeeDroid hasn't pushed the T-mobile update yet he's planning to, so probably tomorrow.

Just installed this one https://mega.nz/#!7JImgSKD!UHs07fG8IiN5FJ6YhPncf8tIZdjjQFeUeRZUN3diVuo and it gave me the "T-Mobile US" option so maybe he just updated it?

Oh no that option is always there. We should be expecting a r16 soon. With the new base for T-Mobile. You can always install that rc2 now an update to r16 when he releases it tomorrow. Unless you're working tomorrow.
@Maddog0057 Viper ROM has working Wi-Fi calling. InsertCoin (ICE now) and LeeDroid Wi-Fi calling didn't work for me

Yep exactly the same with me. Currently on Viper at the moment until wifi calling is fixed
Hi,
I recently made the mistake of wiping my system partition trying to just do a factory reset. I was running a stock rooted 4.4.2 rom and TWRP recovery.
I've tried the latest RUU from HTC but it says it can't find my phone. Using the generic FUU and a 1.54.651.8 (the same version I was previously running) zip I found looks like it's starting to work - it finds the phone and everything but seems to be stuck forever on "Updating (0/7) Sending...."
I was able to get a custom rom installed, but some things weren't working quite right (couldn't send texts, kept making a weird sound, and a couple others) so I was hoping for a stock rom - rooted or not, I'm fine either way.
The bad news is that the old threads with the stock rom of that version seem to have broken links so I can't get them that way. I tried contacting a couple of people who posted them but they didn't hang on to them either.
Unfortunately, the SD reader on this phone has broken so I can't get to my old backup from before I originally rooted way back when. So what I had to do to install the custom rom was boot into TWRP Recovery, ADB push the .zip over to /tmp and flash it from there. Which seems to work fine as far as that goes, I just need a stock rom (or nandroid backup, I suppose) that is compatible with my firmware since the RUUs don't seem to want to cooperate.
As an alternative, is there a way of pulling just the rom out of that 1.54.651.8 RUU I have in some format that would be flashable under TWRP Recovery?
I know it's an older phone and I'm on an old firmware (once I was rooted I never wanted to do any updates for fear of breaking something), but any help would be greatly appreciated since all the links I can find seem to be outdated/dead.
