I'm looking to see how difficult it would be to revert to a stock AT&T HTC One from GPe 4.3 Hboot 1.54. The method I was going to try is below:
1. Change CID back to stock.
2. Relock
3. Run the 1.26 Cingular RUU exe
Is that method plausible? Or, would I have to downgrade Hboot back to 1.44 first?
In that case would it be:
1. Change CID back to stock.
2. Downgrade Hboot.
3. Relock
4. Run the 1.26 Cingular RUU exe
I'm not even too sure I even want to downgrade, I just wanted to get a gameplan just in case I decide one day to.
Also, would the RUU turn my phone back to S-On?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can lend me. I see conflicting information out in the wild, so I wanted to get the professionals take.
If you changed your mid you will need to change that back or the ota updates won't work

The att stock and gpe have the same mid so he only needs to revert the cid back to cws__001 and he is good. The only time you need to change the mid is if you are converting the att/dev/gpe edition to an European international edition since that is a different mid.

latest RUU is 4.03.605.2 which i think has 2.22.10.0801r, 2.22.10.0803r
with 2.27 Hboot which you can check by going into bootloader
im not a radio genius. So someone correct me if I'm wrong
but check the rest of your "about phone section" for RUU information
4.03.605.2 is the newest radio just google i and you will find it. I use this one and I think it has more stable 4G signal,
Be advised that 4.03.605.2 is a Leak. Since you are s-on if you flash the global leak you will not be able to take any official OTAs.
I would use the official RUU which will update you and then take the OTA that just came out a couple weeks ago. Find the RUU here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
It's the top one, 3.14.605.12
Then if you are not happy with your reception you can always go up to the global leak if you want, you just can't go back down to a lower version without s-off.
Before you do this back up everything you need as this will wipe your phone and put it to factory stock.
You need to relock your phone to run it:
fastboot oem lock
And then you'll need to unlock again and flash Amon Ra before flashing a custom ROM again.

So, this build number is confusing me. This is what I presently have and I'm not sure how I got here
Baseband 2.22.10.0801 /....803
Hboot 2027
Build 1.11.401.110
Seems like everyone else with this radio combo is on build 4.03 or something like that.
Is there any advantage to me upgrading to that build? I am S-Off and hate the prospect of relocking or having my internal SD wiped if I don't have to go through that.
Build number has nothing to do with firmware. It's set by the ROM. You're already on the global firmware.

Thanks. I can sleep now.
Is there a rooted version of the RUU? I'm relatively new to locking and unlocking my device so I'm not sure if I'm ready to do all that by myself. (a friend helped me root my device in the past)

Ruu takes away root when you flash it. But you can re root in custom recovery

Ok thanks, I thought i read somewhere that there are custom RUU's that are built specifically for root users but i guess not.
Oh I've never heard of that befor. You may be thinking of the option of downgrading hboot for s-off users
Those are flashed the same way like ruu's

Does anyone know where I can get the full RUU for the newest global firmware (4.05.605.14)? I've searched everywhere and I can't seem to find it.
Not sure, but don't think one has been made/released yet. Still waiting...

I need to return my phone to stock and currently have 4.05.605.14 and am s-on, if there's no ruu what do I do?
Do the s-off procedure, downgrade to another official ruu (not a leaked one). After doing all that, factory reset and son. Then accept the OTA. Only way to do it as of now as son you will get "relocked" anyway. Need to s-off to get "locked"

Thanks Uzephi, I really appreciate the response! I figured I would have to go the S-OFF route, not looking forward to that!
i also need RUU for this model .. i have S-ON model and on hang condition

Unfortunately this RUU, and anything after 4.3.605.2 (which was a beta), never were released... the last official release was 3.14.605.12.
The really bad news is downgrading is not possible while S-ON.
should i need s-off to install a international firmware on my at&t one ?
or else i can do it with s-on ?

Yes you need to be s-off in order to install firmware that does not match your CID or MID.

I just went through this process and S-OFF is not enough, you also need to change your MID otherwise OTAs will fail. I will write something up soon on what I did to convert my ATT to International ROM.
Just got my One today, coming from an S-Off One X. Is getting S-Off deemed important on the One?
##Update##
Realized how easy it was to obtain S-Off compared to the HTC One X (which admittedly was pretty easy already) and went ahead and did it anyways
Honestly if you need to ask this type of question do not attempt it, just because its on here doesnt mean its a necessity...htc dev unlock the phone and flash a custom rom and be happy with that for now until youve read read and read some more....
I am using a T-mobile HTC One. It was previously rooted. I restored to stock by using the RUU from HTC. I unlocked the bootloader so I currently have unlocked S-on. My HBOOT Ver is: 1.44.0000. Radio Version is 4A.17.3250.20. Am I screwed or can I still get S-OFF? I have tried Revone but it's not working. Any Ideas?

Sorry dude, pretty much screwed until they find a work around for the .11 update. I made the mistake of accidentally S-On and forgetting to lock instead of relocking my bootloader (wanted to return for warranty purposes). After that I've tried pretty much everything from downgrading to the stock ROM using customs ROMS trying to edit RUU's to work with my phone (Do not try this, easiest way to brick your very expensive phone) Nothing works as of now, Htc and t-mobile screwed us by not giving us the Stock RUU they knew what they were doing. But yes you have to wait.
*NOTE* On the otherhand i did learn that i didn't need to lock my bootloader to return it for warranty purposes the guy at the t-mobile store replaced it right there for me no questions asked. But the replacement i got came with the updated .11 ROM which means no S-Off for me still.
Damn. That's what I was afraid of. I just kept reading that as long as you had 1.44 h-boot it was still possible, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Well thanks anyway for responding.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app
Wait I thought you could s-off with that hboot i thought 5xxx was unable to s-off
You can s-off hboot 1.44 as long as you haven't taken the latest tmobile ota or used the tmobile ruu, they patched whatever it was that allowed us to s-off in the latest version

Can we downgrade?
If we go back to .8, can we S-OFF? I want to take this thing to GPE, but need S-OFF.

Lots of info there. Some of it conflicting but in a nutshell, no if you've taken the .11 update from T-Mobile.
i would wait till revone or moonshine get a fix on it.
Or go the HTC dev way

I have tried this and was unsuccessful. Luckily I was able to run the RUU and it was fine again but it won't achieve S-OFF
You can downgrade from .11 to .8 using a custom ruu. Google " downgrade from .11 to .8 rootzwiki" and you'll find it.

Ok guys not to sound stupid but I've rooted plenty of phones and have had pretty much every top tier phone. I've rooted all my android phones. I just don't understand the s-off portion of it all. I have s-off and currently rooted. What advantage do I have over someone that doesn't have s-off? I got my one already rooted so I never went through the process. I guess that's why I'm confused. I'm used to Samsung phones.
When the update comes next week should i just wait for a rooted version of it? I'm assuming so.

S-OFF basically allows you to do 2 main things you couldn't otherwise pertaining to Roms and such:
1- flash unsigned RUUs. You can flash custom firmware that don't belong to your device. IE: you can flash the newest 4.3 firmware prior to 4.3 releasing for the T-Mobile One.
2: get yourself out of a jam. Here's a great example. Let's say you flashed the stock GPE recovery and ROM. Your S-ON. You wanted the full GPE experience. Your phone took the newest update. It will flash 1.54 Hboot and update the boot loader to the black GPE version although you are S-ON and not running the GPE device. Without S-ON your SOL if you needed to go back to stock for whatever reason because the HBoot can't be rolled back on S-ON.
Its a good protection to have in your back pocket IMO

So that would explain how I am able to flash Roms from the international version. Well I guess I better be careful with any RUUs that are to come. I need to figure out how I'm going to update when the tmobile One's 4.3 update comes this week.

So once S-OFF is achieved, can flashing any RUU set it back to S-ON? If so, how can that be avoided?
I have a tmobile phone flashed with launch WWE firmware; don't care about WiFi calling or any carrier bloat, but did want the 1700 HSPA+. I'm thinking of clean flashing to latest Tmobile RUU to get the supposed LTE reception improvements, then going from there to back to launch WWE and to latest WWE (to try to retain settings).

No you would have to purposely set it back to s-on, an RUU won't do it. Would you be doing the tmobile Thu then installing WWE Rom ? Or flashing WWE RUU? Cause the ruu would just reset everything XP

So i'm trying to flash my phone over to pageplus and am currently s-on with CM 10.2. I need to get back to a stock ICS RUU so that I can get into diag mode, but from what I understand I can't s-off unless i'm on a stock RUU and I can't downgrade unless i'm s-off. What are my options here?
You'll need to s-off too ruu back or you'll brick it

Hmmm... I rarely disagree with REV3NT3CH, but I think as long as you are on the latest firmware (hboot/radios), just CleanWipe and install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154 it is bone stock with root added, it is not PURE stock, but it is as close as you can get without the RUU (which isn't available... yet).

I'm pretty sure if he's at the latest OTA update (hboot 2.28) and attempts to install the last RUU (hboot 2.27) without being s-off, it'll just error out in the bootloader...

You CAN S-Off from a custom rom... it's not recommended as it has only been tried (successfully so far) by a handful of users...the link above is how I did it just a couple weeks ago. YMMV of course...
Obviously skip the S-on part at the end unless you really want to... and why would you once you are s-off?
For taking it back to Verizon for example while being fully stock so they can't flag you
