Hey,
Doing some work on a friends device. He brought it in said that he bought the device a while ago and it was custom and wanted to simply return to stock so he could update to the newest firmware. Normally I can search and find the answers I need but Im stumped at the moment.
So when he brought it to me, the system was in this state:
Bootloader - UNLOCKED
S-ON
HBOOT - 1.44
Recovery - CWM
ROM - CleanRom1.0
Android Version 4.2
So I figured I would relock the bootloader and run an RUU to bring him back to stock. I used "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular" to bring him back to stock. It actually brought the device back to 4.1.2 which is what I believe it was on when it was rooted and customized in the first place. Anyhow, I popped my ATT card in there and hit software update and it downloaded it, restarted, and when it came back up, its still on 4.1.2?? And the software update and ATT software update section both say the device is up to date.
Then I downloaded the latest stock RUU which is - "RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_Cingular_US_4.18.502.7_R10_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_356565_signed_2"
Ran that and it tells gives me and error saying that I should download the correct image file.
So my question to you is, do I need to unlock the bootloader again and gain S-OFF to run this RUU properly? I was under the impression that once the device was back to stock, I could update it again. My goal here is to get this phone on KitKat for him.
Current System State -
Bootloader - RELOCKED
S-ON
HBOOT - 1.44
Recovery - STOCK? Just get a phone with a red triangle with an ! in the middle.
ROM - Stock
Android Version - 4.1.2
Thanks in advance.
I would recommend trying to S-OFF the device first, before updating anything. The current S-OFF tools may not work after the latest updates. Try Firewater w/ the temproot method first. Once you get S-OFF you have more options to update.
I've seen a few posts lately where the latest AT&T 4.4 RUU isn't working for some people (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723785). I'm planning on trying it this weekend. If it doesn't work for me, my plan is to run the 4.3 RUU from here then install the OTA, either through "Software Updates" on the phone or install it manually.

Yeah, I just downloaded the 4.3 update to give that a try...
My HBOOT version is 1.44 so technically, gaining S-OFF should be really easy with the HTC One Toolkit no?

I would think so. I never looked at HTC One Toolkit, though so don't know what it's all about. When I was researching S-OFF, Rumrunner then Firewater were the goto tools to S-OFF. Personally, I prefer not to use toolkits. Just rather figure out the commands to run myself. But if they work for you, go for it.

This thread is regarding RUU for HTC devices.
I've seen some similar threads but could not fully get the answer I was looking for.
From what I already understand, a RUU updates the ROM, the H-BOOT possibly and updates the recovery with a stock recovery. It cannot do anything that a BL-Unlocked user cannot do through adb or fastboot because the RUU uses only adb and fastboot. This means that the RUU does not (And cannot) update the radio. Am I correct in this?
And if so, what is the point of updating the RUU once you start flashing custom ROMs because they also flash the /system and /boot partitions and the only thing a custom ROM doesn't do is reflash the H-BOOT and the recovery.
And even if you update using a RUU for some reason (Whether it updates or if you just want to return to stock), do you have to choose the RUU that exactly matches your current radio version?
Assume for all the questions that the device is either BL-Unlocked or Stock (But S-ON either way).
Thanks in advance.

Hi, an ruu updates what you mentioned and a lot more. It will do things like change the splash screen, update the radio. and change the hboot which you cannot do with only an unlocked bootloader. It can do those things because its signed.
I had to use ruu's a few times, recently for an hboot downgrade to achieve s-off. Now that I have s-off I can flash any file I want in hboot asblong as its named correctly. Like a splash screen, or a lower hboot version.
Since an ruu updates the radio, it doesn't matter which version you choose, as long as its the same version you have or higher, but it won't let you flash a lower versionWith s-off I can flash any ruu version I want.
ok, so if I am currently running 2.3.4 and htc sense 3.0, does that mean that I can flash my phone with ics (4.0) as long as it is for the right phone and carrier???

now, if I upgrade it through the ruu, is that the exact same upgrade that comes from the carrier? As in, even the HTC update too?
And if it is, is the ruu just the rooted phones way of updating?

Yes it is the same update. Updating with the RUU can be used either way (rooted or non-rooted). Just keep in mind that you'll lose root access after updating.

I'm not sure for your device, but as long as the RUU is for it, it should work (boot loader version doesn't usually affect it).
hello, i wanted to know if RUU also achieves S-ON. I need to return my droid incredible to verizon for replacement due to screen malfunction. I cannot see anything on the display, but everything inside works fine.
I had unlocked bootloader using htcdev and rooted with S-OFF running 4.1.1. I am now on stock Froyo thanks to RUU, but I still need to get S-ON and bootloader locked.
So does the RUU achieve S-ON? I have downloaded the forever SON zip file. But I dont know how to flash it using ADB. Can someone guide me.

for S-ON try this Post ...
I have a rooted and S-on Evo. The RUU keeps failing, even after I unrooted via the Superuser app.
Keep getting “ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR” and then it says it can not update the phone.
And then “Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again.”
I am definitely using the correct RUU version. 1.22.651.3.
Also I have tried two different computers and two different USB cables.
Does anyone know how to get this thing working?
if you updated to the latest OTA update; that usually updates your radios and your Hboot which means the old RUU won't work because it has an OLDER HBoot and radios. Your gonna have to wait till the new OTA becomes available as an RUU to be able to go back to stock.
if you didn't take the OTA 2.13 and you are still on 1.22 then try putting your phone on Fastboot and try it that way.
Edit: Ok so it looks like the latest RUU has been uploaded. Look here http://www.filefactory.com/f/b6eb73c80cc97030/
Thanks, I will try fastboot.
However, as I said in the OP, I am on the same version (1.22.651.3) as the RUU I am using...

I ran into the same error 155 issue.
I found the solution and it's quite simple. In the instructions to unroot, they forget to mention that you MUST relock your bootloader (instructions below). Once you relock it, then you can run the RUU for 1.22.651.3.....after that, take the stock OTA update.

running "fastboot oem lock" yields "waiting for device," and this stays on the screen forever. It doesn't work...
OK, finally got it to lock. Now, trying to see if I can get that RUU to work...it seems to be working. I think the issue was that I was not properly in fastboot mode.
So my plan is this:
RUU
OTA (to get the latest kernel and such)
Root/Unlock

I would highly suggest NOT taking the OTA...
The reason they now have a new h-boot is because there was a vulnerability in the old one.
Simply flash a new ROM based on the lastest OTA.

That's not always true, and almost all new major releases come with a new hboot. In fact I can't remember any updates on my 0g evo, evo 3d, and evo LTE, that didn't come with a new hboot. The fact of the matter is, people that are s-on and hboot 1.15 won't be able to upgrade their radios and firmware unless they take the ota or run the ruu. This update makes the phone fly and is worth it.
On the other post, regaw mod does work with unlocking and installing twrp, you will have to install a rooted rom afterwards though because regaw mod fails at the rooting step.

Sweet this is actually the point where I'm at. HTC Dev unlocked, s-on, hboot 1.15 and rocking twrp. I've been trying to parse through all of the numerous posts on a method to go ahead and install the ota updates. I actually believe I'm 2 down as I haven't updated ever and I got the phone @ launch. I recall reading somewhere that just going back to the stock recovery is a viable option if I want to go w/ the ota updates. I don't really have any interest in different ROMs (I scratch that itch w/ my evo 3d).
tl;dr Whats the least painful way to install the OTA updates post HTC Dev unlock, s-on, twrp recovery, and hboot 1.15?
My device is stock, unrooted, S-On, AT&T. I want to get the new software pieces from the OTA update without taking the actual OTA itself because I do not want to update HBoot in case I decide to do S-Off again in the future. Is there a file or set of files I can install from the outside? Or can I flash just the new radio, or even get the phone to quit bugging me about the update?
My HBoot is 1.44, May 2013. My roommate has the same setup but he took the OTA and now his HBoot is 1.44, June 2013 and revone doesn't work on that version.

Just flash the stock 1.26.502.15 ROM from this thread. It doesn't contain any firmware files so your firmware will remain untouched.

S-Off doesn't affect OTA's. You just need stock recovery to accept them. But if that update installs to your phone, there's no telling when S-Off may be available. Once you're S-Off, you can flash anything and you'll remain S-Off.

Gotcha, excellent!
(first HTC Android device after coming from nothing but Nexus devices, so HTC's setup is totally foreign to me)
I just went ahead with the S-Off. Am I good to accept this OTA or will this override HBoot / return me to S-On? Or what if it runs while I'm asleep one night, would that screw me?

Once you're S-Off, you remain S-Off until you change it. Accepting OTA at this point won't change that.
You can also manually update firmware and ROM.

Question, I understand the need for stock recovery to attain the OTA. I'm already s-off and Super CID and the like. What I'd like to know is the best method for flashing just the stock recovery to receive the OTA. Also, would having the device rooted, with bloatware removed, effect the device in any way, during installation of the OTA, or after?
Or on the other hand, would it just be best to manual flash the rom from here? I'd like to pretty much attain the all of the aspects of the rom, including firmware, radio etc. I'm wary of changing the H-Boot, even though i'm already s-off. I'd hate to fall into a situation later where I need to go s-on, then turn around and want to do s-off again, but can't, because of the h-boot change. I am trying to read up on everything as best as i can, but some of it is quite confusing, and i don't keep up with the forums like I used to. So I'd totally apprecate a little clarification. thanks.
I've already unlocked bootloader and rooted device, following which I realized that there is no s-off option for me on the current hboot I have (1.44 after May) and not realizing that s-off is available for the latest AT&T release with 4.3. This is my second HTC device but it is my first go at s-off. I've been doing a lot of research but keep hitting dead ends it seems. Ideally, I would like to flash back to stock recovery and unroot by flashing stock 1.26.502.15 RUU (which is what I am currently on) so I can get OTA then use rumrunner to obtain s-off. I've also looked into downgrading/upgrading the current software number from 1.26.502.15 to 1.26.502.12/3.17.502.3 so I can use revone/rumrunner but I can't confirm whether or not I can flash RUU without being s-off'ed. If anyone can provide any advise I would greatly appreciate it. I'm also not sure if I'm using the terminologies correctly or if this is even posted in the right section.. Thanks in advance!
If you are currently on .12 firmware then you should still have 1.44 HBoot. If so, all you need is REVONE to S-Off. Doing anything else will make it even more of a chore. I believe if you update after then it is S-On again unless you flash one of the other ROM's that are available. You can also run the current RUU from the HTC website to give you the 4.3 update, but you will have 1.55, thus having to use Rumrunner. To run the current RUU, I think you have to relock it too, and unlock it again, at least I did with AIO. You can run any RUU without S-Off that is compatible with ATT. If you want the Brightstar GPE RUU, then yes, you must have S-Off, and change the CID to match that version, and etc for other versions.

I'm on .15 right now but didn't know if I could update to HTC website 4.3 because I am currently unlocked and rooted and do not have s-off. When I relocked bootloader and tried OTA I had to reboot and it just kept rebooting to TWRP and would not update successfully. So I didn't think the manual update would work?
The manual update will work, but it will WIPE everything. Been there done that, not a big deal though. Went through it, re-unlocked, re-flashed CWM, and that was that. I was going to do S-Off to get the GPE RUU, but heck, with the ATT Remove Bloat script, don't see the need anymore. Got 4.3 running as smooth as it can be, no ATT bloat, and GREAT battery life.
So even though I do NOT have S-off, I can still use the HTC released update to flash onto my phone with the current modifications that I've made already (Unlock and root on JB 4.1.2, software 1.26.502.15, hboot 1.44)? I was under the impression that with S-ON you cannot flash RUU, is that not correct? In the current state, I have to just re-lock bootloader and I can install the official HTC released update? And after which all my data will be wiped, including the custom recovery (TWRP) and root, all of this will be gone? (which is fine) I just have been researching and see that bricking the device is more likely to happen if the device is S-ON and you attempt to flash.
Rumrummer actually has a version available for 1.26.502.15, I used it on Sunday successfully to gain s-off with my mom's phone.

With S-ON
As far as i have read, you can:
Update to a newer firmware. (but i don't really know if you can flash another htc one rom model, eg. flash an m7 rom into a m7att phone)
Reflash the same stock firmware via recovery (http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads)
YOU CAN NOT DOWNGRADE.
Install CWM Recovery or TWRP Recovery.
Root.

I am very sure, I still have the zip in my downloads folder, however, Rumrunner has been updated to be universal across most firmwares, this should include 1.26.502.15 because there was a version of rumrunner for it previously. Just go to rumrunner.us and follow their instructions.

you are right!!! i have a linux firewall old pc at home + a tplink open-wrt firmware, and i had to connect my modem's internet device directly to my pc to allow rumrunner to work properly!
No problem, glad I could help
I purchased a ATT HTC One from one of my friends, it was rooted and had TWRP installed. It was also running Bigxie 4.3 GPe rom. I would like to go to the GPe 4.4 rom but the problem im having is all they ones I can find say they require S-OFF. My phone is S-ON and I have not been able to obtain S-OFF with revone or rumrunner. I tried moonshine but my phone would not boot after the fastboot process. Revone gives me an error 1 and rumrunner tells me to flash a unsecure kernal and try again. The phone is hboot 1.44. After doing a little research I found that someone pleople are saying to go back to the factory rom, the problem is im not sure if the guy backed up the factory rom before he flashed the 4.3 GPe rom. I have asked him and he can remember and blew me off... so my question is how can I find out if he backed up the factory rom, how to restore it or how to obtain S-OFF with bigxie 4.3 GPe rom. Thanks in advance for the help, btw im a noob at this so the more dumbed down responses the better

Rumrunner works just fine on your hboot. Reread the instructions and try again.
Also read up on how you make a backup of your soff when you are done.

If you have an AT&T phone - MID - PN0712000 - CID - CWS__001
just run this http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_1-26-502-15-zip/
Install the stock recovery and take the OTA Update... then just use rumrunner to s-off

Thanks cLsA, I restored that RUU and stock recovery, it was still not able to get rumrunner to work... error -6 this time. Im just giving up on getting 4.4... this is becoming a lot more trouble than its worth. I do have one more question though, is there a way to hide the system update is ready to install on 4.3 GPe ROM?

I installed the guru with root off. rumrunner would not run unless I had root so I installed the newest TWRP and gained root access. Rumrunner then did get futher but still gave me an error. I tried tried with revone then but it gave me a error -6. Also when I installed the guru I did not have a OTA update ready. My phone said it was already up to date. So I used TWRP and restored from a backup of my 4.3GPe rom.
My phone is HBOOT 1.44
MID - PN0712000 - CID - CWS__001
DevUnlocked Bootloader
