I just bought a brand new HTC One M9. Unfortunately, it's an AT&T model, and I can't update the firmware because I live in the UK. It is running stock AT&T android 5.1, current firmware version is 2.11.502.18. I have S-OFF. I downloaded this RUU: RUU_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.17_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_429340_signed_2_4.exe from this site: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M9
My worry is that, if I flash the RUU, I will be downgrading. Will this be a problem? Is there a more later version of a WWE RUU available elsewhere? Also, I want to remain being S-OFF, so will flashing an RUU return the device to S-ON, or is that only manually possible?

You first log on to ADB powershell, connect the phone in USB DEBUG mode, ensure HTC SYNC is installed and HTC driver is present. After this you change the CID and MID to the EU HTC variant, and then you may proceed to flash this ROM and hopefully find that BAND 40, and the rest of the EU LTE bands work. Let me know if this works. Even I have a spare HTC m9 that I'd like to carry during travel time. So far from T-mobile, to At&t and Rogers works like a charm for me.

I need T-Mobile USA Htc One S Jellybean RUU to update my mobile in offline mode. No update is provided to me because while doing S-OFF my IMEI was changed perhaps because of PJ4010000 zip. I need to change my imei back to original to get updates. Now I am relocked ,S-ON <on stock T mobile htc one s 4.0.4
So I dabbled in converting my HTC One M7 to the GPE and while its definitely fast at some things , it lacks in other. Lollipop thus far for me has been a letdown. Want to revert to stock. Question though. Is it as easy as grabbing the update from the HTC website for my device and flashing the RUU in FASTBOOT? I obviously already have my bootloader unlocked and S-OFF . Any help is appreciated.

Do you want to revert back to GPe KitKat or T-Mobile KitKat? If for GPe KitKat then yes just find the RUU. If T-Mobile then you will need to change your MID & CID before you run the RUU. The T-Mobile RUUs are Windows executable files run in Windows while the phone is connected to FASTBOOT USB.
I want to return to T-Mobile stock which I believe is kitkat sense.
Hello, I have HTC ONE M8 AT&T but my carrier isn't AT&T ,so previously i was on 4.4.2 than 4.4.4 released and i downloaded RUU from HTC official site and updated my phone without phone , just now i contacted HTC suppor to ask when Lollipop update will be released for AT&T , so he said i can install Lollipop update for unlocked versions which is released and i won't have any problem ? Please anybody help me will it really work ? Phone is RELOCKED
I think this should go to the Q&A thread
..
If your phone's CID is for at&t and you're s-on there's nothing you can do. Your options would be to pay for sunchine s-off and flash de lp firmware and one of the LP roms around. Once you're s-off you can either change CID to some other carriers with LP or unlocked and get that update. Or you can do what I did to get LP. Once you're on 4.4.4 get a custom recovery and flash viper Rom. It's LP and works perfectly.

Moved here as this does not belong in the Development Section, read the Forum Rules on posting....
I highly doubt it was told to you that you could install the developer ruu on an ATT device,wont work as cid is not same. Best option is if soff change cid to BS_US001 and then you can flash the developer build and not have to wait on ATT builds.

Hi Guys,
I have an HTC One M8,
M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-OFF
CID-11111111
HBOOT-3.16.0.0000
RADIO-1.15.2133156.UA13G
OpenDSP-v38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311
OS-1.54.401.5
eMMC-boot 2048MB
If I undersand, it is an At&t variant? Does it? But the system is 1.54.401.5 (Android Revolution?).
When I attempt to update, this is what I have "We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software...." (cf the attachement)
What I have to do for receiving the OTA update?
- installing the recovery stock at&T but it doesn't match with the system on my phone
- installing the ruu at&t but i must change my cid to the at&t cid and i can't because i am not using the at&t carrier.
You need the stock AT&T ROM in order to OTA. But if you are not on AT&T's network, you probably won't receive the OTA anyway (this is AT&T specific, most other variants can be updated regardless of what network you are using).
CID has nothing to do with what carrier you use (its not like a SIM lock). It just allows/disallows installing of HTC software based on what version (CID) you have. It doesn't matter anyway, SuperCID will pass the CID check for the AT&T RUU. But did you change the MID also? As long as you have the right MID and SuperCID, you can run the AT&T RUU and just be updated to Lollipop (Lollipop RUU already available, no need to OTA).
Another option, you might consider changing the MID to a version that is better suited for your region (or an unlocked, or Developer's Edition) and install the stock ROM, firmware, and recovery for that version. Then you will be "fully converted" to another version and should get OTAs for that version.
AT&T stock software is a pile of crap, if you ask me. Not that good even on AT&T's network, and even worse if you are on another network.
hi ppl .... m using HTC ONE M8 (at&t unlocked),, I want to update it to android 5.0.2 through manual RUU update,,
but updating by this procedure,,,,will it relock my phone again from at&t carrier.
kindly advise
No, RUU will not SIM lock the phone again.
If the bootloader is unlocked, you need to relock.
But if the phone isn't modifed (bootloader unlock, root, etc.) then just backup you personal data (RUU will wipe the phone) and run the RUU.
same issue
