I have managed to get my phone working again but It shows that I don't have an meid imei or anything and I can't use a RUU because it shows I have no image version.. Any help is very much appreciated..

No everything's fixed I flashed the radios an I still have no os is what hboot says
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
The missing os version is related to a bug with certain versions of twrp recovery.

Most notably TWRP 2.7.1.1. Although it has no major negative effects on the device.

The only way to restore the os version info is to flash firmware.

Update to latest OS and firmware?

Hi

I'm back again to this thread for some help. I'm running ARHD 71.1. I'd like to go back to stock and update to the latest firmware and radio. I believe the latest OS is 6.09.401.5 but I can't seem to find the RUU anywhere. Since I'm S-On, I understand I'd have to relock my bootloader and run the RUU. Can anyone help me out with any other alternatives?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
So if you only want the latest firmware, why flash an entire ruu? Just flash the firmware.

You will need to lock your bootloader to flash firmware or an ruu because your s-on. And unlocking again will wipe your device. So make a nandroid and copy your internal storage to you pc so you can easily get back to you Rom setup.

I meant I'd like to get the latest OS and Radio as well. Will flashing a firmware zip update these?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Not the OS no, but radio yes. If there is a 6.xx.401.x RUU available I certainly don't know about it. And you can't downgrade with s-on.

If you want the OS also then your best option is a reset.zip to reset your Rom and recovery back to 5.xx.401.x Stock.

Then you can take the official OTA update. Which will update firmware and Rom.

Just install it with twrp like a normal Rom. In Aroma options choose yes to recovery and Radio and no to root. Reboot and accept ota update. No need to relock for this ;)

Hi Guys,

I received my phone from HTC awhile back and the HBOOT was updated to 1.57. I read conflicting reports regarding flashing custom roms while on S-ON.

One states that there are no issues doing so and one states that I have to fastboot flash the boot.img. Is really required? Previously I was S-Offed on a lower HBoot so I didn't need to worry about any of this. I want to clarify before I unlock my bootloader again. :)

Planning to buy a htc one

Hey , my old motorola phone got stolen and I've been phoneless (well, with a blackberry lol) so I'm planning to buy a 2nd handed Htc One but I've noticed that some people have had problems with camera (Blue-purple'd or.. whatever) so I wonder what chances do I have to get this error when I buy the phone (Obviously I'd test the camera before buying) because I wouldn't have the warranty and even if i had the warranty I'd unlock bootloader and root so that doesn't really matter. Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
S-OFF is not required to flash roms and you don't need to flash the boot.img with s-on

the chances are high if you buy the phone off ebay or craigs list or what ever that it will have a camera issue of one type or another. If you can test, just boot the phone up and put your hand over the rear camera it will turn purple if it's bad.

http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.co.uk/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html?m=1 Stock de-odexed 4.4.3 from here.

Make sure you download the HTC One Rom not the M8 Rom.

HTC One

Download stock odexed 6.09.401.5

Download stock de-odexed 6.09.401.5 < ------ This one

Download stock recovery 6.09.401.5

Your already on the latest 6.xx.401.x firmware. But your rooted stock software still has write protection. Pre-rooted stock Rom shouldn't have write protection. So busy box will work.

Hi

wanna ask a question (probably asked whole lot of time)

How does a firmware relate to a rom? For example, if i have an older base firmware from 4.4.2 SENSE 6 (5 something), will it run normally later on a newer 5.0 Base SENSE rom? Just how much difference can be made by a mere firmware update?

Then, anyone here have experience running the old Jelly Bean firmware using the new Kitkat Rom? Is there any problem?

You have to go S-OFF.

It's even never wrong to do that. You will need it at the latest with going back to stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Going s-off is only ever a bad idea if you have a lack of knowledge about the device. If you don't understand what your doing with a phone with s-off, it's very easy to end up with a brick.

But s-off won't lift system write protection on a Stock Rom ;) You still need a Custom Rom, a Module to modify your stock kernel or a Unsecured Kernel that will work with your Stock Rom. Stock system write protection is built into the stock kernel. S-off won't change that :good:

You don't necessarily need to match firmware to you Rom. I used 3.xx firmware right up to kitkat which had 5.xx firmware. I didn't notice Amy big issues apart from poor WiFi performance on kitKat which went away after updating to the matching firmware.

After a warranty repair on my phone I did flash a jelly bean Rom with kit Kat firmware to gain s-off again and had all sorts of issues. Hardware keys not working, drops in WiFi and mobile network and some HTC related force closes. It worked well enough for me to s-off though :)

Bigger mismatch can cause bigger problems mind you in some cases your touch screen may fail, which is a nightmare unless you have an otg cable/device you can connect a mouse to.

If your on Android 4.4.3 that kernel should work, but won't give 100% chance to gain s-off with firewater.

It will however lift system write protection, so you can install busybox. This is what I tried to tell you before. You DO NOT need s-off to install busybox. You just need to lift the Write Protection From your Stock Software.

S-off WILL NOT remove write protection from your stock kernel.

Either by flashing an unsecured Kernel like elemental x or using a module to remove it from your stock software

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230341.

You can backup your Stock Kernel before making any changes. By backing up "boot" partition with your custom recovery. Then restore it later if need be.

Hi can you please post fastboot getvar all. Please edit out your imei and serial.

Alternatively just the information from the bootloader screen would be good :good:

It sounds like your missing preload data, this normally happens when you Unlock the bootloader though. I've never heard of one giving an error message before. Normally just soft-bricks the phone.

Happy days easy fix ;) I was a bit worried you'd bought a fake from your previous description of the problem but your all good.

Select the fastboot option from the bootloader screen to put the phone in fastboot mode. Then connect your usb cable and fastboot should change to fastbootusb.

Then run this ruu.exe on your pc http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/

This will return your software to complete stock. Once it's done reboot your phone and take OTA updates to bring your phone to Kit Kat 4.4.3. :)

The ruu will wipe all data from your device so do backup anything important to your pc first or use HTC backup.

Your device is already s-off with super cid so I guess it was not brand new out of the box?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geordie Affy:
Cheers man! Releif its an easy fix.

Yeah the description said brand new but I have my doubts, I think its a refurbished version tbh. It came with the HTC box and typical internals but the phone was wrapped individually in a silver type envelope and then in the thin paper thin plastic. Plus the box had a uk converter plug along with beat headphones which are blatently fake. The seller did say he would open the box and set the language and inc the UK plug.

The screen glass is ever so slighly higher than the aluminium speakers and also the power button is slighly below flush. Near the home capacitive key there is very little light showing on the side (no gaps or anything but seems like the black paint or film has come off) So far the device itself feels and looks amazing and as my older brother has an HTC ONE from UK network Three we compared it and seems legit but either refurbed or just a phone that didnt pass through HTC's QC and then this seller got hold of it.

Not sure what to do tbh as I did pay only £208 inc Del and it is the 32GB version, I bought it via ebay/paypal so could go through paypal if the seller doesnt play ball [emoji53] .

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Nah it's definitely a refurb (not by HTC) or just used and sold as New.

The fact it's s-off and missing preload data is a dead giveaway.

The bootloader says locked but it's been unlocked at some point for that preload data to be lost.

When there new or refurbished by HTC there Locked with s-on. Plus if HTC had refurbed it, it wouldn't be missing preload data nor would you notice any physical defects. So defiantly something fishy going on I'd say.

If it was me I'd be on to the seller to find out what's going on. And as you say if you don't get a positive reply contact eBay.

If your decide your happy enough to keep it and want to unlock the bootloader without using HTC dev and wiping the device let me know I can point you in the right direction ;)

If you decide to try it out and then want to return to the condition you received it in let me know I can help with that to.

No problem at all, Another thing worth doing if the box has the imei and other details check them against the info from the phone.

Connect fastbootusb in the bootloader. And in the fastboot command line type

fastboot getvar all

This will give you all the version info about the phone including serial number and imei number. Which should also be printed on the box. Check to see if they match.

I don't think it's a fake but it's clearly not new or professionally refurbished.

So are you running the deodexed stock Rom I linked in my previous post? If so you probably just need to check your root explorer app is mounting system read/write.

I use "ES File Explorer" for that sort of thing. Or a root app uninstaller may help you can download one from the play store there's plenty on there.

But if your on your original stock Rom still then it may cause some trouble. The Stock Rom is odexed and you can't uninstall system apks that are odexed.

Yes that guru rest should work for you. But you will first get the 4.xx.707.x OTA then the 5.xx.707.x OTA to follow.

Alternatively you could manually update by flashing the firmware and this reset Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2802061

Firmware 5.12.707.104.zip from this link.

http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/707/

This method will require the bootloader to be relocked and unlocking again will wipe the device so make a nandroid and backup your internal storage to the pc.

Install the 5.12.707.104 reset.zip with twrp recovery 2.6.3.3 is best. In Aroma installer options choose, Yes to Stock Recovery and Radio and no to root. Once the Rom is installed you need to match the firmware.

Rename the 5.12.707.104.zip to firmware.zip and put it in your fastboot folder.

Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

--- case sensitive --- ^^^

The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then reboot the phone and check for further updates.

Once your ready you can unlock the bootloader with your Unlock_code.bin and reflash custom recovery.
