hey, ihave a htc one m7 on 4.2.2 android ice cold project rom and ive been trying to go back to stock htc sense rom but downgrade from stock 5.0.2 and I cant seem to do it, ive tried ota update zip files, stock odexed rom but nothing seems to work, I got the stock rom on but then the touch screen didn't work so had to go back to aicp. I also cant get s-off as ive got hboot 1.61 and cant afford to buy sunshine.
any help would be much appreciated thanks.
You need the RUU then. The reason touch won't work is because the firmware is not matched to the OS. This is a common HTC thing. You have to find the RUU that corresponds to your carrier or region as well as being the same or newer than the firmware you are on now since you are S-On. You must relock your bootloader to install the RUU while being S-On as well.

could you help me find then compatible RUU please? I don't know what one id use. I was hoping to downgrade from lollipop but I don't think ill be able to.
ive went back to the os that didn't work with touch and am going to do and ota update, but how would I get my device to allow ota updates again? do I have to put the recovery back to stock as well as relock bootloader or is there more to it?
You'll need fastboot to make sure you are getting the correct version. If you do not have it, get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 then boot to the bootloader and run this command:
fastboot getvar all
Post results but remove your IMEI and serial number.
You definitely can not downgrade while S-On. You won't need to worry about OTAs as the RUU will do everything for you. If you do want to enable OTAs after you get everything matched up, then yes, you would need to leave the system and the recovery stock.
would there be anyway for me to downgrade then? ive tried flashing other firmware and so far I might have got it, I just need to wait for my phone to charge till I know
You can flash an older rom, but a true downgrade with everything matched is not possible while being S-On.

what rom could I flash?
How could I know without knowing which M7 you are using and what firmware is on it? I've already provided instructions for what was needed for additional info.

Hi Yeah I have had it relocked and tried executing the RUU but still no luck.
i have the exact same issue. reason is, last time i used the RUU to get back to stock rom, i used the phone on stock rom for a while and updated my phone to the latest build which updated the HBoot to version 3.5.000 but the currently available RUUs are not compatible with the HBOOT v3.5 so we have to wait for the new RUUs
problem for me is that i have sold the phone and didnt want to send the phone out with a custom rom but time is running out im afraid.

So I have to wait for newer RUU to come out for my HBOOT. Thats not too bad if thats all it is.
I have the exact same problem with my O2 UK One +, does anyone have any idea on when these new RUU's will be available? is it possible to downgrade the HBOOT to an older version that will allow the current RUU's to work?
what about ADB sideloading a flashable .zip of the stock firmware? would that work (if we have a flashable zip) or would it kick back an error?
Thanks.
downgrade hboot works only at S-OFF state
OK, is that possible on this phone? it was on my old HTC Magic, although it was hard work!!!!!
no S-OFF at this time for tegra3
Ok, not looking good then, so is there no way for me to get back to a stock rom now? very tempted to recycle the phone and get another one.....

i have a solution for you.
i have a nandroid back up of my phone, you'd need to flash the boot.img in that and then use clockmod recovery to restore the phone to that nandroid and after that flash a stock recovery, relock the bootloader then use OTA updater on the phone to get it uptodate.
it takes a lot more work than just using the RUU, but they arent available right now, so that's what i did because i sold my phone so wanted it to be back to its original state for the new owner
i have the exact phone, mine was locked to O2 as well. i bet you bought it off that guy on ebay for £400?
pm me if you are interested and i will upload the stuff for you.

I accidentally missed a step when flashing a custom ROM onto my HOX+, and now it hangs at the HTC quietly brilliant screen every time. I know that all I need to do is re-lock the bootloader and use the most recent RUU, but I cannot get my computer to detect my phone to re-lock the bootloader. Is there another way to re-lock the bootloader? If not, what should I do?

I tried searching for this answer before I posted this but I was not successful at finding it. So.....
Is there anything that cannot be updated by the ROMs? Are there items that can only be updated by taking the latest OTA update? I am trying to figure out if I need to take this latest update to get the latest firmware, kernel, etc.
I am OK with waiting for the ROM updates to come out if they will update everything, too. If they can't, I might as well get these OTA updates to see if they fix some of my problems.
Thanks for the help.

Yes there are a lot of files that cant be updated with roms. The only way to get all of the new firmware is to run the ruu. Turge has figured out how to flash radios now without flashing the ruu so thats good. But thats not everything. I'd wait to run the ruu until the devs change their rom base to the new update. Otherwise no custom rom yet. You can root the stock update after installing, just not many goodies atm.
Thank you very much for your help.
When you say the only way to get the new firmware is to run the new RUU, does that mean running the RUU from at&t or one of the modified RUUs posted on here?
If it is the At&t one, the only way to get it to fully update is by going back to the stock 1.15 ROM, correct?
Yep I ran ruu and got it running stock but my 2nd x+ still running old one wit elegancia till roms get updated I don't mind unrooting updating and rooting takes 30 min tops just patiently waiting for a update hell if viper gets updated first ill rock that

Correct, but I wasn't sure if you could update directly to that RUU from a custom ROM and get all the updates like hboot, firmware and radio. I was wondering if I needed to go from a custom ROM back to stock 1.15 and THEN do this 1.19 update to get everything updated properly.
If you update your phone to the latest RUU, you won't be able to installed a custom ROM until the devs update their ROM. You update, you stay stock for a moment. You still can ROOT the stock ROM.

Not exactly. You can upgrade with a RUU if your actual version is equal or lower. You can't downgrade your version unless your phone is S-OFF.
To flash the RUU
Reboot in fastboot mode
type at the prompt >fastboot oem lock
Rebooting
Keep your phone in FASTBOOT USB mode
Run the RUU installer on your computer.
This will FULLY WIPE the phone.

Doing this method, one could use the latest 1.19 directly from HTC and get everything updated? No need to do this method, install the older 1.15, and then do the 1.19 RUU update?

You can do one of two things to get the full update. One is to go back to a 1.15 stock ROM, flash the stock recovery and run the OTA. The other is to run the latest RUU from HTC (the one from the link posted above) after you've flashed the stock recovery and re-locked the bootloader (otherwise the RUU might not proceed). Bare in mind that running the RUU will wipe your phone to factory settings.
I started a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245955 about people's experiences updating and post-update. Once you decide to update feel free to share your experience there!
I have already updated. I went from elegancia. I locked the bootloader, rebooted to fastboot, and then ran the 1.15 stock RUU. After that, I ran the 1.19 update I downloaded from HTC. I was just trying to figure out if I would have went straight from elegancia to 1.19 if everything including radio, kernel, etc. would have updated properly since elegancia was on the phone and not stock version 1.15. I don't know what these RUUs look at before applying their updates.
I'm selling my One X+ and need to return it to stock. I had a search of the forums but most info seemed to be out of date...
I have the latest firmware 1.17.401.3 and my HBOOT is 1.35.0000. I'm not sure if the fact I'm on 1.17.401.3 will cause a problem? There only seems to be RUU's available for 1.17.401.1. - does the fact my HBOOT doesn't seem to be up to date mean I can still go back?
I have installed a custom recovery along with a ROM so I'm guessing I need to find the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and then use the correct RUU? Does the RUU take care of the boot.img or do I need to reflash the stock one too?
I'm in the UK and the phone was originally sim free so no network stuff.
I have a basic grasp of what I need to do but if anyone could confirm the best order to do stuff that would be really helpful, don't want to brick it!
Thanks

are you sure youre on hboot 1.35? If youre on latest firmware 1.17.401.3 you should have hboot 1.40. At the moment there is no 1.17.401.3 Ruu available and noone knows if it will ever be or when it will be. But if youre on 1.17.401.3 right now you dont have to flash a ruu to get back to stock. You can flash the 1.17.401.1 recovery via fastboot and then relock youre bootloader via fastboot command. Your bootloader will never be locked as it was fresh out of the box if you had unlocked it, it only wiil be relocked.
Or are you one a custom rom right now? then you have to restore the backup of youre stock rom, which you hopefully have done before flashing. i tried the 1.17.401.1 ruu to get back to stock a few days after ive updated to 1.17.401.3 but i was on hboot 1.40 and the ruu wont work because downgradeing isnt possible with s-on. but if youre on hboot 1.35 you cann give it a try, no idea about it.

I know I don't get how the HBOOT hasn't changed, but that's definitely what it says in the bootloader, and the firmware I got from about in settings. Weird. I'm using the InsertCoin ROM, latest version.
I did do a stock backup in december, so I'll try that tonight and see what happens- thanks.

ah you are on insert coin thats why you see the firmware 1.17.401.3 because insert coin is based on the latest puplished software by htc and that is the 1.17.401.3 but this is only the rom your system as itselfs isnt on 1.17.401.3 because that would have happened only if you would have updated your stockrom via the OTA Update of 1.17.401.3 and only this will update your hboot to 1.40. So what I wanted to say is that your system and your hboot is still on 1.17.401.1 so you can try to use the ruu which includes everything boot and recovery or just restore your backup and flash the boot.img, the recovery and relock your bootloader and your done
I tryed all that a few days ago because im gonna sell mine too
and iwas on 1.40 and hat no backup that was a pain in the ass luckely someone on xda shared his nandroid backup of 1.17.401.3 with me

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.

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.

I'm on hboot version 3.16 but I need to go up to 3.19 or the latest one. I don't know how to do this so I'm hoping XDA will help. I currently have an unlocked boot loader and a rooted SkyDragon GPE ROM on 4.4.4. I tried the update to 5.0.1 with the SkyDragon ROM but the WiFi doesn't work. The FAQ for the ROM said this:
"Q: Why isn't wifi working?
A: Need to flash either latest GPE L firmware in this post, or Latest Sense firmware 4.16.xxxx.x. If you are S-ON however you will have to wait until you get latest Official OTA for your device as you cannot flash a different firmware unless you are S-OFF. If you still don't have wifi after firmware flash you need to clean your system/data(Not sdcard)/cache and reflash the rom."

I know how to flash the stock ROM but I do not know how to flash the stock recovery.img. Please give me directions on how to flash the recovery after I flash the stock ROM. I also will need to know how to get back to where I am now. Will going back to stock lose the unlocked boot loader? Will I lose root?
Although if there is a way to avoid that by getting S-OFF I will need to know how to do that.
My experience on this is small. I am familiar with adb and flashing ROMs but that's where it ends.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Even if you flash the latest 4.4.4 ATT update you still may have issues,You cant flash non att device firmware unless s-off,and as there is no official lollipop version for ATT.youd need to be s-off to get it all updated,changing cid and mid for gpe device requires this to be fully converted.
Bootloader question,I think if s-on you have to relock bootloader to take the ota(could be wrong,search this answer)
Root question yes youll loose root by going back to stock
Flashing:
Flash the backup of stock ROM via twrp.
Copy stock recovery to adb/fastboot location,connect phone via fastbootusb,open command prompt run fastboot flash recovery (nameofrecovery).img
There are more in depth tutorials here on the forum that answer all your question,suggest reading before jumping in with both feet
Edit: Dottat has uploaded the signed firmware for 3.42.502.1 in General Section so go there, grab it, and flash away (don't forget to give that man a thumb up for his REAL effort)
Yes, you CAN absolutely flash firmware with S-On. If your main-version through getvar is 1.58.502.1 or below, you can run the RUU for 4.4.3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-ruu-m8ul-4-4-3-t2860423
Then run the latest RUU for 4.4.4 to get newer hboot.
Disregard ALL the claims about unable to flash firmware with S-On, those who insist so are simply too lazy to explain that their uploaded firmware packages are modified ones from the originals. If the firmware comes signed by HTC, you can flash it as long as you meet all the pre-requisites (version-main, MODELID, CID) :fingers-crossed:

I'm on hboot version 3.16 but I need to go up to 3.19 or the latest one. I don't know how to do this so I'm hoping XDA will help. I currently have an unlocked boot loader and a rooted SkyDragon GPE ROM on 4.4.4. I tried the update to 5.0.1 with the SkyDragon ROM but the WiFi doesn't work. The FAQ for the ROM said this:
"Q: Why isn't wifi working?
A: Need to flash either latest GPE L firmware in this post, or Latest Sense firmware 4.16.xxxx.x. If you are S-ON however you will have to wait until you get latest Official OTA for your device as you cannot flash a different firmware unless you are S-OFF. If you still don't have wifi after firmware flash you need to clean your system/data(Not sdcard)/cache and reflash the rom."
