[Q] Unlocked bootloader and S-off, help - AT&T HTC One (M7)

First of all, sorry my bad english.
I've unlocked the Bootloader and the phone is S-Off but before i did that, the phone couldn't receive any update from AT&T, android version is 4.3
I installed a custom recovery but i want to know what ROM do you guys recommend me, i'm looking for something with kit kat 4.4.3 or 4.4.2, idk what version is available to the cell.
Somebody can help me with it? or returning back to stock , i tried looking for a RUU for my phone but no results.
m7_ul_pvt ship s-off rh
hboot 1.55
cid- CWS__001
radio-4T.20.3218.13
OS-3.17.502.3
hope you can help me, please :b, i want to feel sense 6.0 :v (i'm on sense 5.0)
I'm not living in the US, i live in the frontier with usa (baja california) but i can't go to USA xD

Since s-off change cid to BS_US001 and run the 6.07.1540.3 youll probably have to do in increments to get to that build but its doable...search for the brighstar ruu and the ota's for it here.

Brighstar, okay i'll do it but by some reason, the cell can lose is free company? i'm not in AT&T, it's unlocked to all companies of my country (telcel mexico), it will lose the unlock?
and if i change the CID, the cell will no longer boot in the version of it? (4.3) or it does not affect? and i don't understand the part of "Do in increments to get that build" x)

and i don't understand the part of "Do in increments to get that build" x)You have to install the earlier OTAs first and in order or you might make your phone inoperable.

Here is a guide to help to you:
Here are the steps to re-branding your phone to DevEd:​
Unlock bootloader if not unlocked already!
Install Custom recovery
Download TWRP 2.6.3.3 from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
Achieve S-OFF
With your hboot 1.5x use rumrunner or firewater to get S-Off: http://firewater-soff.com/ or http://rumrunner.us/
Try all options!
Change CID to the new code:
Code:
[B][I]adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001[/I][/B] <- (CID is exactly 8 characters)
[B][I]fastboot reboot-bootloader[/I][/B]
Download and flash 4.19.1540.9 firmware; place firmware in your fastboot/adb folder and rename to firmware.zip. Ensure you have moved all of your personal items off of your phone this firmware will wipe your phone. Open a command window in your fastboot/adb folder and type:
Code:
[B][I]adb reboot bootloader[/I][/B]
After that, type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]
Execute RUU_4.19.1540.9.exe which now matches your CID & MID
There is no need to lock/relock bootloader with S-OFF, and do not even THINK about going back to S-ON!!!
Now you can receive the OTAs or flash them manually.
OTA 5.11.1540.9 - 4.19.1540.9
OTA 6.07.1540.1 - 5.11.1540.9

Yes, that is how it suppose to happen. However, it may not be that simple. The GPe hboot may be higher and the lower RUU may not run. There has been issues in the past with locking and relocking the bootloader with the GPe variant. You might want to read about it in the Forum or Google it. Another option is to wait until Lollipop gets released to the DevEd then try the change.

[Q] HTC One M7, Reverse S-Off Super CID Confusion

Hello Everyone,
I know this probably isn't the best place to post this question. I'm limited to not posting in the dev section.
I'm going to post my question and hope someone can help anyway.
I have an HTC One (M7) that seemed to have reception problems. I always thought I just needed to flash a new radio. So I went ahead and S-OFF'd my phone as well as Super CID. I then flashed a new radio & my reception problem seemed to go away. (or so i thought).
I then went ahead and turned my AT&T One into a Google Edition.
I have noticed that my reception problems never really went away. (When I am at home I have full bars. The conversation starts out fine, but about 10 seconds in, the person at the other end can no longer hear me.)
I now suspect this is a problem with the antenna & I have to get my phone back to stock so that I can hopefully switch out for a new one.
I'm just wondering which step I should do first. S-On again (I used REVONE to S-OFF) , CID back to AT&T, or switch back from the GE rom?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Dan

If I were returning my phone to Stock, this is the process I would use
Change CID to Stock fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
Run the latest RUU for my phone
then use Revone to lock the bootloader and s-on
I think that's the correct order .. if anyone knows different please chime in

I guess I spoke too soon. After completion, I realized that TWRP was still installed, so I flashed the stock recovery. At this point everything seemed fine, but I noticed that the supersu icon was still there. I also noticed that wifi will no longer turn on. Clearly I've done something wrong.
The first time I had used a nandroid backup to restore to stock, then lock, s-on, remove tampered. That is when I realized TWRP was still installed and SuperSu was still there.
This is when I downloaded an RUU that matched my phone, but it errors saying something like "wrong boot version" (I'm not near my home pc to look)
I tried the process again & somehow SuperSu lost binaries. So I unlocked my bootloader again through HTCDev.com This gave me working SuperSu again. And this is where I am stuck.
I wonder if the GE rom changed something so that this process wont work?

here is how you extract rom.zip:
Quote:
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 can be flashed using
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (yes do this 2 times)
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

change your CID back to 11111111 and try again
Did you change you MID ?
What is the name of the RUU your using ?
My mid is PN0712000. I think that was always my mid. Don't recall changing it.
My cid is currently CW__001
I've tried: RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_1.26.502.12.exe
also tried: RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_US_1.26.502.15_Radio_4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04_release_326691_signed_2.exe
I'm currently S-On (could that be an issue?)
I'm unlocked.

It worked once I set CID to 11111111 !!
So now I just have to change CID back, reverse S-Off again and change the unlocked and tampered flags?
Yep that should do it
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
It did! I'm completely back to stock. I decided to update to the latest RUU that AT&T has released. Just to avoid AT&T wanting me to update to see if it fixes the problem. I know for a fact that it wouldn't fix the problem anyway.
Oddly, my phone told me I was up to date while on the .12 RUU even though I knew the .15 RUU exists. I downloaded the RUU for .15 and it ran fine once I went back to stock after running the .12 rom.zip.
In summary, you saved me from a huge headache! Thanks so much for all the help & kindness.

AT&T 4.4.2 RUU Rom.zip Decrypted

Here's the Rom.zip I pulled from the AT&T 4.18.502.7 RUU
Encrypted version is Removed until i find another source (file was damaged, sorry for any inconvenience )
This will work if your s-off and your modelid: PN0712000 and CID: CWS__001
or you can EDIT the Android-info.txt to match your MID and CID
Decrypted version is here >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407580500
Huge thanks to @nkk71 for decrypting the files
And another Big thanks to @AndroidFileHost for the source RUU
RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_Cingular_US_4.18.502.7_decrypted.ROM.zip
Instructions for flashing
If your s-on be sure the bootloader is locked
fastboot oem lock
Copy your downloaded file to your fastboot / adb folder
Rename the file Rom.zip
open a command prompt in the same folder (shift + right click - command prompt here )
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
wait for the Silver HTC logo
fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. You have to issue the exact command again:
fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
most times the green status bar does not reach the 100% mark. So when the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:
fastboot reboot
I find these files much easier to use than the RUU.exe and these can be flashed with a MAC or Linux ....Have Fun !!

Well near as I can tell the RUU did not originate from HTC, someone was able to create it and sign it same as HTC would. But the files behave differently than the "Real" HTC RUU. The only solution I found was to use the True HTC RUU from 3.xx.502.x and OTA to 4.xx.502.x to 5.xx.502.x. It requires s-off to flash the OTA's so it's not the perfect solution for everyone.
HEllo, friend now i feel very dissapointed thus i was not able to update my phone is a htc one M7 7120 from AT$T running this useless firmware 1.26.502.12, im in Colombia myabe thats why the AT&T system update is not working and i tried to run that RUU 3.X.502... but it still giving me the ERROR 158, any idea how can i update this phone? Thank man hope u can answer me.

Is your bootloader locked/relocked?
Are you S-OFF or S-ON?
What is the CID?
Is this the RUU 3.17.502.3 that you are trying to run?
You will not get any AT&T updates if you are not on the AT&T network!
If you are not S-OFF, I would recommend obtaining S-OFF then rebrand your phone to the International (.401) variant. Then you could get the OTA updates and not worry about the AT&T network.

Only if it is different. I don't know your MID but if it is different from the Int'l MID then you will not be able to flash the firmware, RUU or OTAs.
Yes, it will change when you flash the firmware & RUU. I would keep a copy of it for future use.

You can go back; just do the same steps for AT&T. If you have LTE/4G now you will still have LTE/4G after this process does not change the bands that are hard coded into the phone. The radio in the software merely enhances the bands that are in the phone but can not replace them.

Sense 6 firmware Bricked M7

Hey, just to let people know, be wary of flashing the firmware from the M7 Sense 6 update from T-Mobile, I pulled it from the OTA and it flashed successfully in RUU mode, but now im stuck in the dreaded QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, trying to figure a way to get a replacement, but just letting people know to be careful...

Please provide more details;
Do you have a T-Mobile device? --Did you change your CID?
What ROM?
What recovery?
Bootloader unlocked? S-Off?
What hboot did you have before flashing (stock? custom?)
How exactly did you pull the firmware?
These details would be very helpful.

You should read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753631
People had a similar problem and a few were able to get back into hboot by plugging the phone to computer and persistently pressing power and volume down and/or volume up in different combinations. If you can get back to the boot loader flash a know working firmware. It's worth a shot... Here are some relevant comments from that thread...

That right there is what bricked your phone. I honestly don't know why people care so much about the red message on boot to flash a modded Hboot. Most devs on the One international forum are starting to pull of their modded Hboots as people usually don't know flashing a modded one can brick phones on future updates or so.
I haven't manually flashed just firmware. I am s-off with supercid. To get most current I loaded the last tmous ruu then let it go through all updates until it was at the latest sense 6, then reloaded twrp and my latest nandroid.

That is a good way however we should point if one has a moded hboot and applies the official RUU will brick the phone. Just pointing that out.

But what i am wondering is does anyone know where i can just fine the 1.44 tmobile hboot that i was currently on?? so that i dont have to flash the stock RUU and start all back over from scratch ?? I could just flash back to the 1.44 stock hboot and then upgrade to the newest firmware without bricking my phone ??

Which RUU.exe are you attempting to run? If it is this one: T-Mobile HTC One 4.3 3.24.531.3 RUU then your hboot is too high. I would suggest trying this one: T-Mobile USA | 4.4.2 | Sense 6 | 5.14.531.11. Also, since you are S-ON the bootloader needs to be locked/relocked for you to run a RUU. You can lock it in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB with this command: fastboot oem lock
If Viper is running on your One without an issue then you have an operating ROM and the missing OS is due to the custom recovery you used. If you are using TWRP, I would recommend TWRP 2.6.3.3 or TWRP 2.6.3.4 or TWRP 2.7.1.2! The last one has some changes built in that help eliminate the issue of a blank OS.

Check out this post for the TWRP nandroid, firmware and stock recovery for your phone. You will need to unlock your bootloader to flash the recovery or TWRP. If you decide to flash the firmware your bootloader should remain locked. In fact, I would flash the firmware first, then install TWRP to install the nandroid.

Can you connect the phone to a computer and is it recognized?
If yes, then I would recommend flashing the firmware. It contains hboot and you may have an issue with hboot.
Here is the procedure for flashing the firmware. If your phone is already in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB you can skip the first line.
Code:
[B][I]adb reboot bootloader[/I][/B]
After that, type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

urgent help needed: Virgin Mobile HTC desire 601 bricked

I have a HTC desire 601 bought this Summer from Virgin Mobile USA, a CDMA based carrier using Sprint network. My son played with it yesterday and now it is bricked. A "HTC" log is shown up and frozen in the display, not able to shutdown the phone by pressing anything.
I asked my son what he did, but he didnt say anything as he is afraid of punishment
what I can do is try to remove the battery, then hold the volume down key and power key, then it brings up this screen:

Lock the bootloader and then run it.
Also:
Custom recovery does not affect the RUU.
The system dump zip is literally that, a dump of the system partition. As such, it's not recovery flashable.

Perhaps its different for the cl varient but for my ul, I'm 100% positive you don't need to be relocked. However, mid and cid must match the ruu.
*edit*
Also your hboot must be older or the same version as the ruu's hboot

Well, they have the Virgin Mobile zara_cl variant which the RUU is made for, so the mid and cid shouldn't be an issue since they're S-ON and can't change it. Also, as stated their using 4.2.2. They still have the old firmware and partition layout which is why the version of twrp they installed won't work so hboot version is also not an issue. Also, it throws a different error if your device has a newer hboot than the RUU.
While it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility that something else could be causing the error, it's definitely not hboot version or mid/cid.
Were you S-OFF when you ran RUU on unlocked bootloader? I'm not sure of all the benefits of being S-OFF, but maybe one is being able to RUU with an unlocked bootloader. It makes perfect sense for an unlocked bootloader to throw an error since it can void your warranty and RUUs are generally ran by service techs.
But in all my experience the bootloader needs to be locked/relocked for the RUU to run.

I haven't tried running the ruu while s-on. I'm pretty sure the distinction is if your s-off you can flash ruu zips (which don't have the mid/cid requirements) after running fastboot oem rebootRUU as well as the standard exe RUUs, and if your s-on you can only run exe RUUs.
Hey, guys. I've finally made an account here after clumsily stepping into the world of custom ROMs. I recently got a Zara_CL on Virgin mobile and somehow wound up in the same position as the OP here. I never updated to KitKat due to the update failing with a custom recovery image. After unlocking the bootloader, I installed TWRP 2.7.1.1 and tried to flash InstertCoin yesterday without making a backup (couldn't mount certain partitions and now I know why ^_^). It took many hours to figure out what I did wrong and to make many plans of action to fix those mistakes.
I have re-locked my bootloader and the RUU has allowed me to get the stock Jellybean ROM back on my phone. I tried before while still unlocked and the RUU made no progress at all.
From what I've experienced, S-OFF and Unlocked are sort of interchangeable on a device in this stage of being cracked. One can flash recoveries with S-OFF and a locked loader, or with S-ON and an unlocked loader. I'm still learning after a few months and a successful root, s-off, and rom flash on an ancient EVO 3D. The high of that success drove me to buy this phone and try some magic on it, but my conjuration skills are quite unpolished.
To OP: Relock your bootloader with fastboot command "oem lock" and then run the RUU you found here. This should resurrect your handset flawlessly as it did in my situation. Don't punish your son, but teach him to be more careful. We both learned the hard way, but I guess I learned more quickly.
I had to always lock bootloader before running ruu. Would always get same error otherwise. This was for s-on. I can't remember my one experience running ruu while s-off.

How to lock bootloader? I only know how to unlock.
Get into boot loader and type "oem lock" into adb/command prompt.

You're phone needs to be in fastboot mode.
You need adb on your computer and to run a command prompt from your adb folder. Plug your phone into the computer and from the command prompt type "fastboot oem lock" and press enter. You're bootloader will now be locked. If you get a message about too many flags or something and a security warning afterwards, don't worry, it worked.

[Q] Soft bricked M8, looking for some help

Howdy folks...so my buddy picked up an M8 off of Craigslist that was apparently running some sort of vanilla android. It is unlocked and S off..he attempted to flash a Sense ROM and ended up in a boot loop. He's the kind of guy that shouldn't be doing such things...
This is where I come in to the rescue. After some reading this afternoon, I've come to the conclusion he must have a GPE converted phone. I personally have no experience with this device (G2 Verizon owner) but I'm pretty versed in fast boot and ADB.
The phone is currently in fast boot. This is all it has. If I attempt to boot it into recovery, it loops.
Can anyone help me get this thing running by pointing me in the right direction? Ideally, I'd like to have it fully AT&T stock.
My current plan was to push a recovery via fast boot and flash a GPE ROM off of SD. Will this work?
I just don't want to mess the phone up any further.

Can you boot phone into bootloader? If so connect phone and type adb oem getvar all.
Should give you details of cid and rom required to get phone working again.
Googling ruu for cid will help so example is m8 ruu htc_001.

Yes, bootloader is basically all I have. Thank you for the help!
I won't be able to get to work for a few hours, but I'll update with any progress.
OK...so turns out the phone indeed was converted to a GPE device, which caused his problem after attempting to flash a Sense ROM...I successfully flashed TWRP via fast boot and installed a GPE rom...now, just need to go about converting it back for him.
Thanks to member Passion for helping me out.

Change cid to super cid 11111111 (7 ones) by putting phone into fastboot , connect and typing fastboot oem writecid 1111111.
This allows phone to have most stock htc roms to be written to phone.
Find stock rom you require and flash which will revert to stock for you.
Hope this helps!

It appears the OP's phone had the full GPE conversion done to it, therefore changing the partitions, and that alone will prevent Sense ROMs for booting. Flashing a ROM in itself will not change the partitions back the Sense partition scheme.
Easiest way to revert is probably RUU. You're right in the OP needs to post getvar all data before all the steps can be laid our correctly. In short, OP needs the proper CID or SuperCID, and relock bootloader (if unlocked) or S-off to run RUU.

Flashing a zip of the RUU isn't necessary. OP can either flash the official exe file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-ruu-m8ul-4-4-3-t2860423
Or the bootable RUU here (no PC required): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-2-23-502-3-bootable-ruu-pc-required-t2860486

But doesn't bootloader need to be changed?
As you said partitions are different and ruu would not like it surely?

RUU will rewrite all partitions including hboot. I have the advice I did for a reason.

So all I would have to do is run the bootable ruu to bring my gpe converted m8 back to stock sense? Just want to know for future ref

Yes.
Keep in mind, if you are s-on, you need to have the proper CID or SuperCID. Plus, you can only run an RUU with equal or greater hboot number than the hboot presently installed on the phone.
S-off should bypass both these issuees (CID and hboot version check).
