You don't need to return to stock to update to the newest firmware, but unless you flash an original signed firmware package, you can't update while still S-On. You would only need to return to stock to apply an OTA (which would also include an update to firmware).

As you are part of region 401, there are possibly a few less benefits to S-Off for you, as 401 is unbranded and gets regular updates etc so you most likely wouldn't want to flash a rom from another region. The biggest benefit of S-Off though still in my mind is the ability to lock the bootloader (not just relock) and remove the tampered sign in bootloader if you ever need to return your device for a warrant claim. In addition like in your current case where you can't find a 2.24.401 RUU, but for example may find a 1.29.401 RUU, with S-On you wouldn't be able to flash this RUU, whereas with S-Off you can and could then OTA back up to your current 2.24 rom.
[One (M7) Android Development] carlowise:
tnx,

so to flash fw just relock bootloader flash fw and unlock again and that's it? because i found in some guides that phone needs to be s-off

and one more thing can't figure what this number mean can you help me out to download firware for my device

http://arhd.onedroid.net/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/

tnx again
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
If the firmware is an original signed firmware zip then you can flash it even if you are S-On (provided it matches your CID and Model ID. If however you ever intend getting S-Off then it is not advised to update firmware until you have gotten S-Off. Each firmware update may bring a new hboot and the exploits used to gain S-Off may be closed. Your current firmware is 2.24.401.8 so to find the right firmware for your device you should go to the 401 folder at that link. The 3.57 firmware is a custom zip and therefore you can't flash it on S-On, but the 3.62.401 package looks like it is an original file. Yes you would need to lock bootloader to flash the firmware on an S-On device.

Sim Unlocking

Hey all, do I need to go back to stock in order to get the sim unlock working?

I got a code online but it doesn't work, the company advised that if I have a custom rom I'm basically SOL - is that really the case?

Please help, I'm stuck in a foreign country with no phone and the last thing I want to do is to revert to stock if I don't have to do it...

Thanks!
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Yes. Just do a nandroid backup and then install one of these Stock ROM's:

http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/

Most just use the 2.24.401.1 Stock ROM.

Then do the SIM unlock and then you can restore your nandroid back to your custom rom.

[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
The clue lies in the bit I've highlighted in your quote above ;). You have hboot 1.54 which is one of the "newer" hboots and the fastboot boot command no longer works. You will need to flash the firmware (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) instead of trying to boot it. You can still take a stock backup, the only bit you will be missing in the backup is a backup of stock recovery, but as you are on a WWE stock rom, this is easy to download separately. That red triangle with exclamation mark you see is the stock recovery still. To enter stock recovery you need to press power button and vol up button together from that red triangle screen.

Will I need S off and super cid to flash arhd? I don't care OTA updates.
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
No, you will just need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. You however won't be able to update your firmware version until an OTA is released for your device/CID.

Finally I have installed the ARHD..... But... I still having limited languages options (no Spanish) Should I change the firmware?
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
The languages are included in the rom, not the firmware. I've checked my Language options on ARHD 31 and I have Espanol as one of the language options for both system and keyboard. Changing the firmware wouldn't have any impact on this.
[One (M7) Android Development] descenpet:
it must be those CID.xml files again so not everyone is getting same language list for system language.
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
Yeah could be. So is the solution to delete the file matching his CID
[One (M7) Android Development] elpicard:
could you help me with that? how can I do this?

I only have European language (Turkish, DEU, FRA, ENG, ITA)
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
I'm not sure if it is the solution though. You can give it a try if you want. Under /system/customize/cid there are a number of xml files for different cid's and a default one. If there is one there that matches to your cid try deleting it and then reboot the phone. Perhaps it's best to take a backup before trying this though. You would also need to grant root access and then mount /system as R/W in ES File Explorer.
[One (M7) Android Development] elpicard:
Is this procedure bullet prof? :confused: could I restore it without any bootloop or something?

thanks!
[One (M7) Android Development] foghorn67:
Forgive me. How do you flash the recovery without fastboot? I have h-boot 1.55.

[One (M7) Android Development] Dryvlyne:
Dumb question... I recently obtained S-OFF and updated to the latest firmware. Somewhere along the way my bootloader became locked again. Do I just need to go through the steps on HTCDev.com again to unlock it or is there something else I should do since it was previously unlocked? Thanks in advance :good:
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
I haven't tried it personally but I can't see that it would cause bootloops as when you delete the file specific to your cid it should change to the default.xml file. As suggested though take a nandroid backup so if it does bootloop then you can reboot to recovery and restore your rom.

You can't, what I meant was to skip the step to fastboot boot recovery and instead just fastboot flash recovery.

You can use the same unlock.bin file that HTC sent you previously or alternatively you could just use revone to unlock again. Remember that unlocking bootloader will wipe your data.
[One (M7) Android Development] maddel:
Hey guys. As my HTC One is not working properly anymore (charger light not working etc.) I need to send it back to service to get that fixed. For that I want to go back to stock using method 2. The only thing I am not sure about is, how do I find out which RUU is the right one for me!?

Cheers for your help! matt
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
Run command fastboot getvar version-main (provided you haven't used S-Off and SuperCID to change your firmware to one that wasn't originally designed for your device).

I'd like to revert my Rogers HTC One back to out-of-the-box stock for warranty reasons, I'm currently S-OFF, bootloader unlocked (tampered flag removed), hboot 1.56, latest firmware 4.06. I need to go back to a locked bootloader with S-ON but there is no Rogers RUU in existence (I've read that if I S-OFF using another RUU I will brick my phone, not what I want). Is there a possibility to revert to stock or am I screwed without an RUU?

[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
Depending on your CID you can flash the firmware with S-On (with locked bootloader) if your CID and MID is included in the android-info.txt file. Open that file and check it out. The latest 4.06.1540.2 firmware can be flashed with S-On on the following CID's/MID's:
[One (M7) Android Development] petrofsky77:
Ok, thanks for the explanation, but this is the part i don't get, you mentioned i can flash the firmware with S-On with locked bootloader. If my current phone state is bootloader unlocked with S-On, does that mean that i need to re-lock the bootloader first before flashing the rom???
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
No not to flash a custom rom, but yes if you flash the firmware or a full ruu with S-On. Firmware consists of recovery, radio, kernel and driver related files which are not included in custom roms and the firmware can only be flashed with a locked bootloader (if you are S-On). So yes you would need to reload your bootloader in order to flash the firmware.

Remember to take a backup as unlocking the bootloader again will wipe your data. You would also need to reflash your rom and custom recovery as the stock firmware will replace boot.img and recovery.img. (With S-On you can't use any of the custom firmware which removes these files). The new boot.img probably won't be compatible with your current rom (depending which rom you re currently on) and would result in a bootloop when trying to boot the phone. So your best method is to flash the firmware, then boot straight to bootloader and unlock and flash custom recovery then boot to recovery and flash your rom of choice.

Hi all. I need some advice.

I want to go back to stock (as close as possible).

My situation is:

I have S-OFF

I have a T-MOB Germany phone which I super-CID (1111111)

I have Tampered and Unlocked

I have HBOOT 1.56.0000 and latest firmware.

My idea is to change CID to the HTC__001 and flash RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe

Would it work? Is it this simple?

Thanks

Nicola
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
If you are wanting a completely stock unbranded phone then the process you describe will sort of work. The reason why I say "sort of" (and I haven't tried it personally) is that I have read a post saying that you would need to first downgrade your hboot before flashing the ruu (otherwise you will get errors when flashing). So I would suggest that you first flash a lower version firmware.zip like 2.24.401.1 to downgrade your hboot version and then try to run the ruu. But that will put you way back on the scale and you would need to upgrade via OTA to more recent versions. There are other options to get this without having to go all the way back to 1.28. You can flash an original firmware package and find a matching stock reset rom from here
[One (M7) Android Development] kotag82:
I have tried it personally and there are couple of problems you can get. Major one is OTA. I have downgraded VODAP001 (UK) to 1.28.401.1 but OTA did not came because there was a second CID which you can find out via adb shell "getprop ro.cid" without quotes. Really strange situation there where RUU is checking CID via fastboot which was Super CID and OTA has showed me error (wrong CID) when I tried to push it manually via stock recovery. I did conversion(with SuperCID) to GPE 3.06.1700.10 from here then flashed hboot 1.44 from here, changed CID to HTC__001, flashed RUU 1.28.401.7 and OTA worked without any glitch

Root Q

Hi guys, I just received my HTC One, but I didn't understand right this process:

If I just want to root the phone, without installing new ROMs/kernels/etc (just need the root to freeze/uninstall some system apps), so remaining STOCK, will it wipe my data & i won't be able to receive further OTAs updates, right? Or this situation happens only by unlocking the bootloader?

Thanks, as always. Sorry I'm new to HTC, I just modded my Galaxy S, S2, S3 and Huawei P2 :(

Edit: Sorry I was drunk yesterday, I got it.. Obviously I have to unlock the bootloader if I want to root the phone. But is there a way to do it, still receiving official OTAs? Cause I read the problem about calculator, torch and so on..

Edit2: ok, did it, don't care anymore about official OTA, I started again with custom roms (& compulsive flashing disorder) :D

But one thing is missing...

Im coming from stock ROM so i wanna do a complete wipe and install a Custom ROM...

My problem is how do i create a Virtual SD, because i will wiping all internal memory, so i need a virtual SD to copy the ROM and install from there...

Can some one guide me here...or plz share a link on how to create virtual SD

Thank You...
[One (M7) Android Development] angusc:
You don't need a virtual sdcard, all you need to do is copy all your current sdcard files over to your PC, then you can wipe your device if that's what you want to have a completely fresh stock installation. If you still have to unlock your bootloader then this will also wipe your device back to stock. Then just copy over to your device sdcard the ROOTING files and the new custom Rom that you have chosen. Next flash the ROOTING file and then install a custom recovery. Next boot in to recover and install the custom ROM, during the installation just select clean installation which will wipe old ROM settings.

Actually i have HTC one 32GB only...there is no support for External SD Card...

I have unlocked the Bootloader, installed TWRP 2.6.3.4 and rooted the device...

Now if i copy the ROM in my Internal memory and go into recovery mode>TWRP>WIPE>Wipe Internal Memory...

Clean Cache and Dalvik Cache, it will delete all the files in the 32GB internal memory and i cant flash the ROM...

Hi guys, I red a lot about flashing and stuff. Because my HTC one is not working properly anymore, I need to send it back to get it fixed.

For that, I want to go back to stock, using method 2, so I may won't get trouble.

Therefore, I have some questions:

How do I find the right RUU? I live in Europe, so am I fine to just take this one, cause it say's "Europe"? RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe

Otherwise, I did a Nandroid backup before flashing the first new rom. Can I just restore the backup or does it not work because I flashed a different HBOOT in the meantime?

I tried to find the backup in ROM Manager, but that didn't work. I saved the Backup on my computer. So for restoring it, I copied the directory onto my phone, folder "ROM Manager". But the ROM Manager in recovery didn't find my backup.

I'd be really happy and thankful if you could help me with that.
