[Q] Every time I try to run on RUU on any computer... - AT&T HTC One (M7)

This happens every time I try to run an RUU. EVERY. TIME. The most angering thing I've ever had happen in my life. Someone please help. I have the 1.26.502.15 RUU.

the .exe utilities can be finicky,so if you have trouble getting it to run, you can extract "rom.zip" in the following manner:
-start the utility
-check the "i understand" box to move on to the next screen
-hide the utility temporarily out of site
-search your C drive for "rom.zip". you will find it in a temporary location(it will be in a different spot each time you run the utility)
-open the folder location,and transfer rom.zip to a safe location on your PC.
-unhide and cancel the utility,youre done with it.
-rom.zip

here are some directions to flash "rom.zip":

if youre working with a booted,operational phone,you can flsh the file in the following manner:
-open a cmd window
-change to adb/fastboot directory
cd c:\foldername
(cd c:\mini-adb if youve used any of my guides )
-place the zip file you want to flash into adb/fastboot directory
-enable usb debug,disable fastboot,plug in phone
-check for connectivity
adb devices (should return serial number)
-boot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity again
fastboot devices
-flash the file
fastboot erase cache
fastboto oem rebootRUU (will put you in ruu mode,black screen silver htc letters)
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip (will send and flash the file. dont interupt it while the cmd window shows its writinging,and the green status bar is moving on the phone screen)
*sometimes a file will fail with a pre-update error. this is normal,just enter again:
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip
and this time it will finish
-when you get "finished" and "OK"
fastboot reboot-bootloader (takes you back to fastboot)
-reboot back to the OS
fastbooot reboot

you can use this if you dont have an operational phone as well. you just need to manually put the phone in fastboot(select from hboot menu) then skip the "adb" commands and start with fastboot devices
to answer your other question,yes,you will need to re-unlock and re-install recovery after running the RUU. an ruu is designed as an "unroot" solution, or emergency fix,if other attempts have not made the phone operational.

But will this unroot my device? I'd rather not be rooted or have superuser access at all. I just want everything normal again.

yes RUU is full factory reset
flashing rom.zip is the same

Sweet, thanks

I may have been vague. This happens before I even get a chance to do anything. Example: I double click the RUU.exe, and it gives me that error. Every. Time.

the .exe RUU tend to mess up alot. Try downloading the ZIP, and flashing it that way.

I can't find a 1.26.502.15 zip. I looked everywhere, they only come in exe. I would have already done it if I could have found one.

Now can I ask why you want to stay on old Android 4.1.2 when 4.3 is out ?

---

What do you mean? Does the M7 not update to 4.3 when it's on the stock rom?
