If your phone is S-ON you must relock the BL to flash a RUU. What will happen if you don't? SImple, the RUU won't flash. Just unlock the BL again after flashing the RUU.

I forgot to mention i have s-off. Can i flash the .exe ruu with an unlocked bootloader then? I just wondered why these files dont flash with an unlocked bootloader..

If your phone is S-OFF you don't need to relock the bootloader to flash a RUU (exe or zip).
When S-On you can only flash signed file and this signature verification can only be done by your phone with a locked (or relocked) bootloader hence the requirement to relock the BL if your phone is S-ON.

Thanxks ,it ihelped a lot.

By the way do i need to have a superCID to flash rom or ruu of any region or is having an unlocked botloader with s-off sufficient?

Both CID and MID must be compatible for the RUU. CID and MID can be changed with S-OFF.
You can also decrypt the RUU and change the android-info.txt file so it match your CID/MID

You said at post #4 your phone was S-OFF but your "fastboot-getvar all" output is clearly showing that your phone is S-ON. Not really a problem but you'll need to relock bootloader before flashing, just so you know.

The thing is in every post tat the bottom there is a tab that says says show hidden contents and there were some ruu links for htc one m7.Anyways, the thing is I brought my phone back to s-on as I was having a hard time finding the correct ruu for my phone and when you s-on the phone only the correct and latest ruu can be flushed .What I mean is that no wrong ruu can be flushed.But as soon as I s-on ed my phone ,I paniced as I was having a very hard time finding the latest ruu .So I posted the same things in both the threads in a panic which I am sorry for .I didn't know about that rule.Basiclly in this thread I wanted the latest ruu link for my phone. What I meant in the other thread was for someone to explain the version of my phone for the getvar all command so that I could identify my ruu easily.i was confused in many terms like "wwwe", .zip and .ruu. I will change my question in the other thread.
Anyways thanks for replying and giving the link.I just wanted to confirm that the link you provided will work for my indian edition ,right?Also, not that I am complaing but do you happen to know the link for the .ruu ( not the .zip) for the same? Thanks.

I understand what you mean but it's always a bad idea to go back S-On, it can even brick your phone in the some situations (I.e going back S-On with an unsigned bootloader will brick)

This ruu is the only one that should work on your phone now that it's back S-On. If this one doesn't work, you're SOL (because S-On).
Ruu are rarely available in exe file, most of them are zip file and they must be flashed using htc_fastboot.exe from a Windows pc with the phone booted in RUU mode:
Code:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip your_ruu_file_name.zip
htc_fastboot reboot

pl don t panic. it is easy
I showed you 4.4.3 but as my idea latest build is better than old

S-off
I can no longer s-off using rumrunner. I did some research and found that htc patched hboot 1.56 and above.The only solution i found is sunshine. ALso i found some posts saying that they were able to s-off by using custom roms with unsecure kernels and unsecure boot img. So just wanted to know whether they work for hboot 1.61 or do i use sunshine if i want to s-off again?
I mean is there even a slight chance that using unsecured kernels and boot imgs i can get s-off or are all of those posts lies?

You don't need s-off to flash the latest ruu version matching your cid/mid (the one linked in my last post), you only need s-off if you want to downgrade or if you want to convert your phone to another carrier/region version.
Only sunshine will hboot 1.57/1.61 security to off (s-off)
And FYI, "boot" = "kernel" these are not 2 different things

[Q] Going back to stock

Hi, i seem to have gotten a problem with my phone jumping to car mode randomly, even when its plugged in, so guess it is in need of a service.
After reading some guides about going back to stuff, i just have to get confirmation that i have understood it correctly.
The only process i need to do is the following (I have s-off and hboot 1.44, latest firmware):?
1. Change the SID back to stock
2. Run the RUU.exe
3. Make it s-off again and remove tampered with revone?
Is that all or am i forgetting something crucial?

Did all the things, but it refuses to flash the ruu.. when running the ruu.exe its returning error 155 after awhile Any idea of what might be wrong?
are you using the right CID for the RUU?

Yes I changed my CID back to the original CID, and the RUU i downloaded said on the download page that this was for this CID HTC__Y13.
My bootloader also says LOCKED

Did u also check MID?
I thought 155 was because of an unlocked bootloader, does it give any information more than 155? Maybe also try to find the log (should be somewhere in temp on ur pc)
I'll be online later today, and will check back.

I also had that error before when I was on a later hboot (1.54 and 1.55) and would only work if I had hboot 1.44
Can you post your fastboot getvar all removing S/N and IMEI?

Have tried downgrading the firmware also by "unlocking" the bootloader again as described in the post over (not the revone way but the other). and try and flash the hboot 1.44.. but now it seems that I'm just getting remote denied when trying to flash.. Dosn't that indicate that the bootloader is still locked?
Have managed to downgrade the hboot and firmware... Will try the ruu again and see if it works if i can get it to stay connected to the computer via USB... Right now it just plings for 2 sekunds, and then loosing the connection again..
Thanks alot guys for the help.
Seems like it was my hboot messing up, once i downgraded the firmaware and zip before trying the ruu it seems to work Atleast no 155 error or problems arised so faar, just the green progress bar *keeps his fingers crossed*
Again, great help Now its time to ship it to service
BTW: anyone know if they are actually able to fix the usb plug since its unibody design? Or will it most likly be a replacement?

[Q] Downgrading 4.3 to 4.1.2

Because i'm having bluetooth audio problems with numerous carkits/headsets i found out that going back to stock 4.1.2 resolves this problem.
The way i do this now is:
1. flash hboot 1.44
2. restore downloaded nandroid backup via CWM stock rom 1.29.401.12 for HTC__E11 (M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__102 / 1.29.401.12 (DE Unbranded - Thanks to FordSierra88))
after restoring touch doesn't work but use a USB Mouse
3. flash stock 1.29.401.12 recovery
4. fastboot oem lock
5. install RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed
I have a feeling that i'm taking a sightseeing tour with this approach. Can i do this quicker???
Maybe via Guru reset? or RUU.zip? I understand that my CID must be stock and no Custom recovery installed and bootloader locked?
Again.. my goal is stock rom including OTA's. I stop installing OTA's after the one in the picture.
Can someone clear things up for me please?

yeah that's normal, because the touchscreen drivers were updated in 2.xx (and not backwards compatible)
you just need to use Step 2:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip <- yes TWICE
fastboot reboot-bootloader
all done, no need to mess with anything else (tampered, unlocked, S-Off), everything back to stock 1.28 and you can take OTAs to whichever version you want, or stop at 1.28
recommend you stay s-off

I'm at work. So i will have to download this at home later on. But i need a working phone now. So i decided to give the RUU.exe file a go again. (It worked before) but it failed this time. The only thing i did was flash the 1.44 hboot again and now the rom installed nicely.
I guess the RUU.exe needs the 1.44 hboot after all? Is this correct?
Sorry but i'm fairly new to this all and i'm just trying this out following your guides and that of other. Trial and error method

yes correct, the RUU.exe needs a separate hboot downgrade first (if hboot is 1.55+), to allow the RUU to work.
on the other hand, the ruu.zip method does not.
End result is the same.

One "this is a test device" help - urgent

Hi guys,
I'm in need of some help, my beloved HTC One has fallen victim to the dreaded Purple Camera issue and I need to send it back.
I'm on HBOOT 1.56 and I need to turn S-ON back on as my phone says that my phone is a "Test Device" in bold red writing if you reset the phone and under About>Help
I don't want any warranty issues with HTC as being in South Africa, support is very limited as it is and they will find any excuse not to try fix it.
If anyone can give out any tips or advice I'd be happy to donate even.
I've done lots of Googling and tried a couple things but it's all for older HBOOT's than mine.
Please and thanks guys. :good:

ok so you'll need to downgrade your phone first because turning back s-on on hboot 1.56 will trigger the tampered flag in the bootloader.
use the 1.28.401.7 ruu with the guru bootloader reset tool
refer to this guide and follow instructions carefully. Again, do not s-on on hboot 1.55 and above, only do it on 1.44 or 1.54.

Awesome! I just downgraded to 1.44,
Can I go ahead now and use fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 to S-ON the device?
Just wanting to make 100% sure.

My phone still says Locked, I flashed the 1.28.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip
I haven't actually done the 1.28.401.7 RUU, Is that what I do after I flashed the 1.44 hboot?
My phone is on 4.4.2.

DO NOT GO S-ON
first run the RUU.EXE or the flash the RUU.ZIP
then we can consider s-on, with S-On you cannot downgrade!!! and you'll be majorly stuck.
let me know when you've done the ruu
PS: please follow the guide
1- remove tampered set locked
2- run / flash ruu 1.28.401.7
3- boot up once to make sure everything is OK, do NOT take OTA
4- go S-ON if you really need to

[Q]Where to start?

I have had at least 7 android phones where flashing stock was never such a hassle or maybe it's just me who finds htc one flashing a lot trickier than other phones.
I am totally confused how i can flash a sense 6 RUU as I am still sitting on 4.3 sense 5.5 and I have a feeling that the kk on htc one is a lot better than 4.3. Please enlighten me.
1. Unlock bootloader @ HTCdev.
2. Flash a custom recovery.
3. Flash a Sense 6 / KK rom.
Remember with S-On devices, you need to flash the custom roms boot.img from fastboot.

Yeah, I want to stay stock and not unlock the bootloader. Is there a way to flash a RUU without unlocking and S-OFF etc?

Yeah of course, but you have to flash the correct RUU for your devices CID!
If you want to keep stock, you're better waiting 'till your carrier pushes the OTA to your device.

In theory you should have received updates for that version, latest one is 6.09.401.5 (sense 6 and android 4.4.3) Are you sure you are still on stock rom?
With S-ON + locked bootloader, you can only flash RUU same or higher version that match your CID, MID and version base (.401). The latest RUU available for your phone is 4.19.401.9
With S-OFF you can flash every RUU version you want + you can flash OTA updates manually

go ahead with the update.
-Just a side note, I know you don't wish to unlock or s-off but if you ever wants to s-off, it will become harder with each ota updates (s-off exploit are patched with OTA). So if you want to s-off, do it now it will be easier. If you dont want S-OFF, proceed with the update.

yes you can flash any RUU with s-off: signed ruu, decrypted ruu, lower/higher version, other version ruu (require to change CID/MID)
you will need to unlock bootloader to s-off
unlock bootloader
flash twrp recovery
root
flash an unsecured kernel or flash a custom rom pre-rooted that comes with an unsecured kernel
s-off using rumrunner
With s-off, you can set back to bootloader to LOCKED (not relocked) like if it was never unlocked and you can remove the TAMPERED flag from bootloader.

HTC ONE M7 Rooting - How would I go back?

Hi everyone, I apologies if this is a bit of a silly question however I am attempting to root an android device for the first time and would just like to know what you thought about an issue which I am having.
My question is, I plan to root my phone and install TWRP recovery, if I ever needed to unroot I am under the impression I would need an RUU which matches the radio very I have. The details of the radio is 4T.29.3218.08 and the phone is from the UK (Europe). I cannot find this version anywhere. If I ever needed to unroot does this mean I would not be able to?
This is the only thing which is now stopping me from rooting my phone... Thank you in advance for your replies.

your on the newest software their is no 6.x.401 RUU
to return to stock you simply flash the stock odex rom and stock recovery / do a factory reset and your Stock
you would still have an unlocked bootloader but without s-off you can't fix that (unlocked to locked)

So a couple of questions. Does that mean there is never going to be an RUU for my phone or is it just with time there will be more for the current version? As for flashing to the odex Rom and stock recovery, the Rom would be simple enough for TWRP recovery, how would i do the stock recovery part? Or would they be an all in one installation, installing the Rom would also install the recovery?

HTC doesn't release RUU each time there is a new version. Maybe with the future release of android lollipop, we don't know.

flash the stock rom using twrp and then flash the stock recovery the same way you have flashed twrp recovery. Twrp will be overwritten by the stock recovery.
Just keep in mind that you'll need s-off if you want your warranty back (to set the bootloader back to *locked* (not relocked) and to remove the *tampered* flag)

Yes but if you make a backup of your rom after unlocking the bootloader, there will be some files missing (htc preloaded apps in /data/preload) which will prevent you to use ota updates is you restore this backup. There is a 6.09.401.10 nandroid backup including the /data/preload folder on android file host.

You can extract it from any 6.09.401.10 firmware or from the 6.09.401.5 to 6.09.401.10 ota zip file.
nvm, I found it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603803
@alray - So my steps to stock would be:
Download and install the rom using TWRP recoveryfrom the following address:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473396068
Then install the stock recovery from the following link (Install is the same way I installed TWRP):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603803
If the phone is still S-ON, I will not be able to change the label so will have to make it S-OFF if I need to change - just out of curiosity, if I leave the phone S-ON will this affect OTA updates?
Then factory reset the phone - I should be back to a stock phone.
Would these steps be correct?

fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
If the phone is still S-ON, I will not be able to change the label so will have to make it S-OFF if I need to change Exactly - just out of curiosity, if I leave the phone S-ON will this affect OTA updates? No, if you rom is 100% stock (which will be the case after restoring the above backup) and you have stock recovery, youre good for ota update. S-ON/S-OFF doesn't affect ota updates.
Then factory reset the phone - I should be back to a stock phone.

My phone has hit the purple tint issue which is a well known fault. I have spoken to HTC and they have said that they will fix under warranty. I need to return the phone back to stock. I know I can use the nandroid backup and the recovery in the post above but I am very confused on how to S-off.
My problem is there are so many guides (some of them being very old) on how to do this and I do not know which method to use. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can return my phone back to stock.

My phone has hit the purple tint issue which is a well known fault. I have spoken to HTC and they have said that they will fix under warranty. I need to return the phone back to stock. I know I can use the nandroid backup and the recovery in the post above but I am very confused on how to S-off.
My problem is there are so many guides (some of them being very old) on how to do this and I do not know which method to use. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can return my phone back to stock.
Thank you so much

I would highly recommend to follow nkk71's super guide (linked in my signature). Everything is well explained in details, just make sure to read everything before beginning and also read the FAQ of his guide.
To achieve s-off, you will need to use Sunshine if your hboot is 1.57 or above. Sunshine cost 25$ USD. Its the only method to achieve s-off on hboot 1.54 and above.
S-OFF is a must to remove the tampered banner and set back the bootloader to ***LOCKED*** (not ***RE-LOCKED***) so your warranty is still valid, but again everything explained in that guide. If you have any question you can ask here or in nkk71's guide. If you have questions, post an updated "fastboot getvar all" at the same time.

The guide is really good, just one thing has thrown me though, Im not too sure which RUU to use.
I can see RUU for:
CID HTC__001
and MID PN0710000
but not baseband 4T.29.3218.08
Do I just use the files you linked me to in the posts above?

Downgrading requires s-off, s-off can only be achieved using Sunshine when hboot is 1.57 or newer

1.28.401.7 RUU zip
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-zip/
Baseband version is irrelevant when looking for RUUs. You want a ruu that match your CID, MID and firmware base (.401). Also you need the ruu to be hboot 1.44 (1.xx.xxx.x) so you can safely remove the tampered banner. So in our case you must use the 1.28.401.7 ruu.zip.

Just so I know for the future, I know my firmware base is .401 based on the following line:
(bootloader) version-main: 6.09.401.10
Is this right? Thank you for your help!

Right and also because your CID and MID are HTC__001 and PN0710000 so the corresponding software/firmware base is x.xx.401.x
