[Q] Tmobile GPE and OTA - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

I have a stock Tmobile HTC One that i converted to stock everything GPE. I changed my cid to the Google Edition one but left the MID as it was as the instructions said I didnt need to change it in order to put GPE on my phone. My question is will i be able to receive OTA updates when their released without changing the MID?
As of right now my MID is PN0173000

I had a stock T-Mobile unit. changed my CID to 111111111 made no changes to MID.
After putting GPe on it and powered it back up it prompted me for an OTA update.
It was the small bug fix that came out shortly after 4.3 was released..
Im waiting to see if my unit gets the 4.4 OTA when its released.

So I'm taking it when u installed gpe you installed right to 4.3? Because this is what I did but haven't received any small update I'm running 4.3. What version do u have exactly? I'm wondering if thud means I'm not going to get ota because from what I've read all u have to change is Cid to either super Cid or googlooo. I have googlooo.
I've read plenty of posts stating they got ota just changing Cid
I flashed to fully stock how and haven't changed anything. I noticed at end of op here to change to gpe 4.3 there's another section of how to flash to stock recovery. I was assuming that was there for people who changed their recovery so they could revert back to stock to get ota? This is correct right? As I haven't changed recovery and flashed to fully stock I don't have to do this right?

Im on build JWR66Y.H1

Is there a guide on switching to GPe? I haven't been able to find it.

OTA update ?

Hey guys, I'm kind of new to the rooting scene yet and I heard Verizon pushed an update out that fixes a lot of things with the tb. If I apply this update from the settings menu will it unrooot and turn s-on back on? I have not updated my device since I got it, about 2 months ago. I am running bamf Rom , at least I think that's the name of it . version 1.6 .3 something like that. so, what do I have to do to get my radio updated and everything else updated without losing my root or s off ? I see a bunch of topics that have to do with RUU BUT I don't understand what that means

I don't think you will be able to if your running bamf. You need to flash the new radio in the bootloader, then any Rom based off the new ruu to apply the fixes and keep s-off. Check to op of your rom

Read the first post in the BAMF thread. If you are running v1.6.3 and you installed it correctly, you already have the update, it's based on the leaked copy of the Verizon update that's out now.

This is exactly correct... AND NEVER ACCEPT AN OTA WHILE ROOTED! IT COULD CAUSE THERMO-NUCLEAR WAR...LOL. No really though, people who are trying to install the ota even with the stock ROM are getting stuck in a boot loop.
Just to reiterate op, if you are rooted you have no reason to install any ota ever! The developers incorporate it into their roms long before an ota starts. And...as long as you are rooted with s-off never install an ota! You quite frankly never know what will happen...
Hope this helps...

im pretty sure das bamf 1.6.3 already has the latest ota update included. its based of the 1.13.605.7 ruu, which is the one included in the ota. so if your on that rom theres no need to apply the update, you already have it. i personally never accept ota's since most of the time you can find a rom that will include it way before the actual ota is released. and usually with way better features included

[Q] stuck on jb 4.1.2

ill start off by saying, im a total nub to this. that said, a few months ago, i stock rooted my phone to scotts rom jb 4.3, ive been having issues with losing data connections recently, be it over at&ts network or wifi, didnt matter. so i decided to unroot my phone, lock the boot loader, and s-on. i tried using this ruu:
RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_Cingular_US_4.18.502.7_R1 0_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_35656 5_signed_2
to go back to stock, but apparently the radios didnt match and i resorted to using the stock ruu which was:
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_US_1.26.502.12_Radio_4A.1 4.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_318450_signed_2
only problem with this is im now back to JB 4.1.2 and cant do an OTA update with AT&T. i have called their tech support to see if they could push the update, but they dont seem to know what theyre doing and said i should try "the htc website and download it from there". so anyway, my question is, can the rom be updated straight from jb 4.1.2 to kk 4.4 using an RUU? or do i have to do the updates sequentially? there was a later release with a slightly different radio which was:
RUU M7 UL JB 50 Cingular US 1.26.502.15 Radio 4A.17.3250.20 10.40.1150.04 Release 326691 Signed 2
so i dont know if i can just run that and then do the OTA for kk 4.4? or run that and then do the RUU for kk 4.4? im at a total loss.

I'm sorry so you can or can't take OTA's? If you can, you could always do that back to 4.4, only problem being at&t's wait 24hrs.The kit kat ruu should run as long as it's signed (since you are S-ON). Have you tried running it after you flashed that stock ruu?

I couldnt, but after talking to an HTC rep, they informed me that once the phone has been rooted You can't take ota updates. So I have to wait for the ruu to be released. According to them it isn't yet, so I resorted to rooting again and flashing gpe kk 4.4

Need Help flashing 4.4.4 To AT&T HTC One M8.

I have an HTC One M8 AT&T Branded but it has 4.4.2 on it and i wanna flash viperrom 3.2.1 but it requires androids 4.4.4 software. im S-ON, 3.16 Bootloader with 1.58.502.1 Software number. Baseband Version is 1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L. im just looking to Update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 but i cant seem to find out how. Any help would be great.
Perfect.
Unlock your bootlooader if you haven't already, fastboot flash recovery (TWRP/PHILZ),root using the chosen custom recovery,make a backup before or after root.
Go here http://theroot.ninja/ for Sunshine
S-OFF cause that's what your going to need to update as far as 4.4.4
Orrrr just wait a few days for the ATT 4.4.4 build to be released (ETA 29th) and then youll have 4.4.4 without having to do anything.

That's a better idea for sure.
I haven't noticed if Sunshine has an update that works with 4.4.4 yet.
Are you S-OFF ?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of S-OFF so the OP knows what he might be missing.
Do you know when the Sunshine update will be?
Yup,no [email protected],[email protected],there are plenty of posts about advantages and disadvantages...my point of view is simple,it is not needed for the novice,ive seen too many mess things due to lack of knowledge. My usage of it is for switching between att and developer ROM's to get latest updates. Outside of that I dont mess with conversions,to risky for a 6-700 device. My advice is stick to htc dev unlocked bootloader and wait for official update.

I didn't Google for to long but I haven't found concrete links that state the exact date .how many times have we been promised a date and watch it pass by anyways.
May I ask if you've modified any other device before this one?
I'm not trying to push,but S-OFF might be in your future and will not halt an OTA from installing.
The version your on is easily exploitable using "Sunshine" unless you take the soon to be 4.4.4 update.
Nobody knows when Sunshine will have an update even with the team working on it as we speak.
Wont be much on Google @date,came from somewhere else. And nothing is ever "concrete" with software,especially with carrier branded software.

I have Rooted, and flashed multiple ROMS to my old M7 before. Nothing crazy.
I as well have the same build, unlocked bootloader, flashed custom recovery. Will I have to return to stock recovery using 1.58.502.1 RUU and to get the OTA update to 4.4.4??
I'm trying to get the latest Android Revolution ROM for 4.4.4 but realized I was in a bit of a pickle. I'd like to take the path of least resistance on this one - any advice would be super appreciated. Thanks!

I'd say wait till tomorrow to see if an OTA update will roll out.
Or if you just can't wait for the ability to flash what you desire than I would go S-OFF and flash a non At&t firmware that you need to allow a smooth function of mentioned ROM.
Im restoring back to default AT&T ROM and such and will post weather the update has been pushed or not. i sure hope it has
**Update** Still no update, i got the " Current Software is up to date, You may check again in 23 Hours 59 Mintues.

You can check as many times as you like by setting your time manually ahead and your phone/device won't know the difference.
Check as many times as you like but it will remain the same,you should get a notification when it's time
So if you don't have s-off you can't update to 4.44 Sense ROMS with AT&T? I'm on Slim Rom and sound quality stinks. I want the new Android Revolution but i've read wi-fi and such doesn't work. Clarification plz?

Correct .
S-OFF allows you to change your CID witch will allow you to ruu Dev Edition 4.4.4 so everything runs smoothly
I've not looked on this thread in a while. I am S-off and unlocked and my cid is 11111111 but I have never updated firmware so that I can run a 4.4.4 rom. Is it correct that I flash a RUU (guess it's not called flashing when it comes to a RUU). How do I know which RUU to post - I found this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2757462 (http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2.exe)
Will I loose root or anything (other than wiping my data) when running the ruu.

I'll just say that if it's a stock ruu than it's most likely without root and it will wipe as if it came out of the box.if its a full ruu than it will come with the updated firmware as well witch should allow you to flash 4.4.4 Roms and still run smoothly.
What I did around 5:00am this morning was restore my Dev edition backup I had along with the stock recovery so I could take the Dev edition lollipop official update and now I have lollipop firmware to use with my stock GPE 5.0.1 lollipop ROM/backup .

Yes, running/flashing the 4.4.4 Dev Edition RUU will update you to that appropriate firmware. But, what you linked is not Dev Edition, its a stock AT&T RUU. And its not 4.4.4 either, its 4.4.2, which is probably where you already are.
What you want is the 3.28.1540 RUU linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
RUU will wipe the phone, install stock ROM (meaning root will be lost) and stock recovery.
But I also think its overkill to run an RUU just to update firmware, if that is the intent. My suggestion is to just run the firmware linked in the following post (which also has great instructions for doing so): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
The above method shouldn't overwrite the current ROM and user data. But backup anything important before flashing firmware, just in case.
Side note, "flash" is a fairly generic term, and as the RUU flashes stock ROM among other things, the term "flash" is appropriate IMO.
So can I just load the firmware file and flash thru fastboot? Is it This one?

Help - Looking for Some Direction - Updating Firmware, s-off needed?

Hi everyone, I'm Josh and I'm a long time reader of XDA. I'm really struggling with the next steps on my HTC one despite reading ton's of information on XDA and many other sources. I could use some help / clarification.
I recently purchased an HTC One m7 ATT version. I've rooted, installed SuperSU, TWRP and unlocked the phone. I was stuck on choosing a rom but I've hit a new snag. I was going to try ViperOne but noticed they insist you install the latest firmware updates first. Here's where I'm lost. I'm running the stock version that came with my phone when it was locked.
Kitkat 4.4.2, Sense 6
FW# - 5.12.502.2
Hboot - 1.57
Radio - 4m.27.3218.14
I can't seem to get the OTA's, how do you get OTA's, do you have to run official att service sim like gophone? Or can you use straight talk like I currently have? Or do you not even need a sim for OTA's? I don't currently have a sim in the phone, was waiting to get all this sorted first. Will OTA's break root? Would it be beneficial to turn the phone into international version to get OTA's faster and would I lost the 4g lte abilities of phone if I did this?
How do I go about putting these firmware updates on, is s-off required even if you use a signed RUU from "androidruu dot com" for example?
I would like to get the latest official firmware releases on the phone and get it updated to kitkat 4.4.4 from the official releases and then put a custom rom on of my choice.
Is any of this even necessary? Are firmware updates included with the Rom's? How is an RUU different than a rom?
Someone, if possible please help me get this all sorted out, I'm so confused, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

You wont get OTA's unless you are stock, you can use this to get back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775650 to be able to receive OTA updates.

No firmwares are never included in ROMs, and RUU reset your phone (both firmware and ROM) to fully stock, but you would need an RUU with same or higher version that you are on now. (with S-ON)
what is latest att firmware
@clsA, nkk71 and I have been talking on the #AndroidRevolution irc channel, we/I am trying to get this resolved to figure out if I need s-off in order to grab latest firmware's before I apply a custom rom because it seems att is way behind everyone else since the rest seem to be 6.0.something. Can you confirm what latest att firmware # is for htc one via their software update on the phone? I have reset phone to stock but it's still stuck on 5.12.xxx.xx (whatever the # is, don't remember right now) and claiming it's up-to-date, trying to figure out if boot-loader also has to be locked in addition to stock rom and stock recovery and root removed (cause I did all that but left bootloader unlocked), I've been reading that it does, but neither of us can confirm this. And do you need official att sim/service to do the updates? Additionally, could you direct to a list of signed firmware updates for flashing with s-on if this is not the latest firmware. Thanks!
clsA, just fyi, he used your Guru Reset ROM 5.12.502.2
but doesnt get any OTA updates
I tried it, but since i'm not on ATT, it doesnt even accept my device

quick question though.... seems ATT has it's own software update "solution"? flashed your Guru Reset ROM, and gave me "Device not provisioned" (or something like that), and the system update is not the usual htc system updated... weirdish (well, at least for me)

quick question though.... seems ATT has it's own software update "solution"? flashed your Guru Reset ROM, and gave me "Device not provisioned" (or something like that), and the system update is not the usual htc system updated... weirdish (well, at least for me)
thanks bud

@clsA, do you know of thread that list the latest firmware updates for flashing to an ATT M7_UL with s-off? I'm going to s-off the phone and bite the bullet with sunshine so i can take advantage of the latest firmware with a custom rom since ATT is so slow/behind with the software/firmware updates.
Thanks again for all your help and let me know.

Sure ... I recommend converting to the Developers edition for the most updates
after your s-off Change your CID fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
then flash this RUU >> http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...8_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353887_signed_3.exe
And then you can take OTA updates up to the current 6.07.1540.2 (3 updates I think)
I'm uploading the file's I used Here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=24178
Their is also a RUU now from HTC >> http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...4_10.33E.1718.01L_release_404528_signed_2.exe
bricked / boot hang / fixed with reset

@clsA, thank you so much for that, I actually ended up following @vomer 's guide and turning it into super CID because it seemed that the firmware updates were newer than the developer ones oddly enough, 6.0.9 and 6.0.9.xxx.10 and then there's 6.0.9.xxx.11 and .12 but this is where i hit a snag, all went smoothly using vomers firmwares up till 6.0.9.xxx.10 but then i tried to flash the .11 and .12 from ARHD and the device bricked/ hangs on boot....ended up having to use adb push to get your reset on there and reset the device, flash the original firmware etc...phone is working again (I was tempted to panic but maintained control ;P) but ultimately means i wasted a bunch of time only to have start over again....for now I've left it 5.12 and stock....maybe you could help figure out what went wrong when you get a chance.
Thanks.!
i left recovery and root on during the reset just in case it didn't work but did flash back the stock radio for that rom as well

Theirs nothing wrong with the Stock 5.12.502 firmware from AT&T in fact it's one of the most stable. You can flash mostly any rom you want with that firmware installed. The reason I recommend the Developer edition right now is because Lollipop+Sense is due out any day now on that model.
how to proceed

@clsA, I was bent on the firmware update to take advantage of latest enhancements with ARHD and they recommended at least v6 xxx .11 eventhough the rom is based on v6 xxx.12, viperone also strongly advised latest firmware updates....does the developer versions you sent me have the calling fix for when the audio in the call was lost because of google update? Also, quick question, why did you include the 4 xxx something base firmware...i can just proceed with the CID change and start at the 6 series firmwares because I'm already at later version with att stock 5.12 right?
Any idea what happened the other night with the bricking - would boot, hang on black screen after first htc logo on white background and then just have the hardware touch buttons lit....was it because the firmwares ARHD posted required the bootloader to be re-locked? (failed to notice this until after I had semi-bricked it)
Also, what backup app would you recommend? looking to restore all my apps and settings after these wipes etc...getting tired of redoing it all again each time.
Thanks!

The Developers Edition 4.x RUU is the last RUU .. then it's 3 updates and your at the current version and ready for the Lollipop update
The ARHD International firmware needs the MID changed to work, You can eather edit the android_info.txt or change you MID to make them work

@clsA, hmm, did not see that anywhere in the post...def. did not change MID...but they did specify needing locked bootloader, any idea why? will either of those cause the boot problem I described? Or can the firmware after 6.xxx.10 be incompatible with the att stock rom and i actually needed to flash a rom before proceeding?
When you said earlier "And then you can take OTA updates up to the current 6.07.1540.2 (3 updates I think)" you mean flash them or can take them via the OTA update service....in the dev edition does the built in OTA update service work with unlock and root?
what version does .401 mean, is that international? I know the .1540 designates developer edition.
What backup for settings and apps would you recommend, would titanium suffice?
Thanks again for all the help.

Lollipop is coming in the next few days. Just go back to post #11 and flash the RUU and the OTA updates
I gave you the link to all the file's I used. Your S-off no need to lock the bootloader and you flash the OTA updates from stock recovery yourself
just download them all to your phone sdcard and flash them in order.
I use HTC Backup is all I need. And google keeps my contacts and calender

@clsA: What bout with:
** Tampered **
** unlocked **
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
HBOOT-1.56.0000
RaDIO-4T.24.3218.09
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-4.18.502.7

Should I follow the same procedure? I want to try out the GPE Lollipop. Just wondering which firmware I should flash?

Depends on what you mean "Try Out " ? you aether convert to Full GPe or you flash a rom.
If you convert, you simple change your CID and flash the RUU.
If you want to just see if it's for you, flash the rom .. I like this one >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-google-play-edition-lollipop-v1-00-t2963927
But it does require the latest firmware so yes post #11 would get you to the newest firmware

[Q] Currently on Sky Dragon KitKat [GPE], how to update to Lollipop?

Currently installed is SkyDragon. How can I update the phone to a GPE Lollipop ROM? I have S-ON.

There is no official lollipop for AT&T yet, but wonders_never_cease has a dev edition ROM modified for at&t, all the directions to flash it are in the thread, I recommend trying it, very fast with no bugs ?

If the OP hasn't updated to 4.4.4 firmware by OTA (and can't do it manually with s-on) broken WiFi may be the result after flashing SD LP.
4.4.4 is reportedly started to roll out today for AT&T (which will update the firmware).

How can I update to AT&T's 4.4.4 without unlocking S-On? Is that possible?
I think I read something around here that says that going back from a GPE rom to a carrier rom is impossible unless s-off.
Can you please confirm?
Really, I have absolutely zero need in AT&T's 4.4.4 if there is any way I could jump straight to SkyDragon 5.0 GPE, without screwing up connectivity.
Another thing is, I have an update notification waiting for me (see pic). What will happen if I flash that? Will that completely screw up my phone, or will that get me to Google's stock Lollipop GPE?

Its certainly possible. Either return to stock ROM and stock recovery, and OTA to 4.4.4.
Or alternately, relock the bootloader and flash the 4.4.4 RUU (back any personal data before RUU, all internal storage will be wiped).

That is incorrect. If you just flash a GPE based ROM, you can freely go back to Sense.
S-off is needed to fully convert to GPE (including GPE CID, bootloader, partitioning, etc.); or alternately, to fully convert a GPE version to Sense.

You don't need the ROM, but you absolutely do need the 4.4.4 firmware. If you don't have it, WiFi will be broken. You might also have extremely long boot times (10+ minutes).
And that is the only reason I'm suggesting the OTA, so you can update the firmware without having to s-off.

With you current setup the OTA won't work:
1) You have to be on a stock ROM or the OTA will fail.
2) You have to be on corresponding stock recovery, or the OTA will not install (phone will loop booting TWRP looking for stock recovery and not finding it).
3) You need the GPE Carrier ID (CID) or OTA will fail. You can't change CID with s-on.
So what you are saying is, my best course of action would be to:
1) Flash stock 4.4.2 (is rooted version okay?)
2) Update to stock 4.4.4 via OTA (is there root available? how do I not lose it?)
3) Flash SkyDragon Lollipop

1) Rooted is okay, as long as no system files have been altered (which should be the case if its called "stock"). You also need stock recovery.
2) You will lose root. Simply root again. Flash TWRP, and flash SU or SuperSU. Or just boot TWRP, and it will probably ask you if you want to root.
3) Yes.
Alternately, since the 4.4.4 RUU is now available:
- backup any personal data
- Relock bootloader
- RUU
- Re-unlock bootloader and install TWRP
- Flash Skydragon
I can't say RUU methos is necessarily any better or easier. Just another option, really. But it might take the footwork out of finding the right stock ROM and stock recovery combo, and restore the phone to "stock" in one fell swoop.
One last question, and I feel sad for asking this because I really should be able to find it myself: where can I find this mythical 4.4.4 AT&T RUU? I've looked all over the forum but I just don't see it.
Edit: I think I got it. Is this it? http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...40.34.C35006.02_F_release_407726_signed_2.exe
Relocked, ran RUU, unlocked, flashed recovery, flashed rom, currently patiently waiting for it to boot.
I think this is going to work, thanks for all your help! =)
