If there is no RUU, then going back to stock will be hard. I would recommend you start a thread in the Questions ans Answers section because this has nothing to do with this thread on how to convert to GPE
[One (M7) Android Development] toysoldierq:
There is a RUU but it's not a 1.29 only 1.20
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
Ask in the Q&A forum please.
[One (M7) Android Development] toysoldierq:
ok fine.
[One (M7) Android Development] Superpiper1972:
FTR,

I was on a 4.4.2 GPE rom and GPE firmware (Hboot 1.56)

Jumped to latest 5.11 Sense Rom and Sense 5.11.401 firmware (Hboot 1.57) (all ok)

Jumped to latest GPE 4.4.3 Stock Rom and 4 series Firrmware (Hboot 1.54)

Jumped to This rom via RUU which put me back onto 4.4.2 GPE and 3 Series Firmware and HBoot 1.54

Flashed the latest GPE ota and now on Latest GPE stock ROm with 4 Series Firmware (Hboot 1.54)

So i've bounced here, there and everywhere!

Not had (AFAIK) any issue flashing or whatever, using any version of TWRP (upto 2.7.1.0) or whatever.

I figured out that the flashing of OTA firmware outside of the carrier is a little different on HTC phones, which doesn't seem to be specifically mentioned in the usual guides etc. HTC (i think) don't have a "install using ADB" option in the Stock Recovery, Rather you are supposed to dump the OTA to a internal file and flash via internal recovery. ARHD has a good FYI on this. Lots of people mentioning they don't have the ADB option in the Recovery but i think its just specific to HTC (could be wrong) either way, flashing the 4.4.3 OTA this way worked a treat.
[One (M7) Android Development] Acill:
I broke down and got a real M8 GPE. Love this thing so far. If anyone needs me to look at anything to compare with the conversions or pull files just let me know.

Also as a result I have my fully unlocked and converted M7 up for sale now. Its had a carbon look skin on it since day one (the black and red one they featured on android central a bit ago) and a screen protecter on as well since day one. 12+ hours of battery life daily no problem.
[One (M7) Android Development] pigr8:
why you guys mess with your phone if you dont know how to revert or fallback? the very first things you need to know before proceed doing anything on your phone are as always NAND backup, know how to use adb/fastboot, know how to install drivers, use adb debug.

so just read before anything, a clever quote is "parents and friends think that i'm a tech expert, i only use google and read how to do stuff".

so, in your case, you converted your Asia M7 to GPe, so i assume your pc has working adb/fastboot drivers.. and from your log i see that you are S-Off (ofc you are if you converted).. so simply go back to your original CID (fastboot oem writecid HTC__621) and then doubleclick the .exe RUU file from windows while your phone is running and connected, it should work.

if it gives you some errors, writecid your cid + flash an old nand zip with android 4.1.2 + flash and old firmware and hboot and retry to launch the .exe RUU while phone is running.

if you switched to windows 8.1 and your phone is not responding to adb commands, install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2917929 to fix.

if your pc or phone explodes or turn themself into bricks, i'm not responsable.

enjoy
[One (M7) Android Development] toysoldierq:
Thanks for trying to help me but I got it done myself all I did was write my cid to HTC__044 and fastboot oemreboot ruu and flash the 1.29 Asia zip, no need to use anything else it was that simple, the same way you convert to gpe is the same way you revert back but must use a 1.29 and up zip.
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
This is so frustrating, I have a service that makes it look like my IP is in the US, I have GOOGL001 as CID, and it doesn't matter if I RUU to 4.4.0 or 4.4.2, my phone used to get OTAs but now it doesn't anymore. No idea what changed.

I guess I can continue to flash the OTAs manually as long as there will be people nice enough to upload them.
[One (M7) Android Development] Bastaerd:
you said it yourself ota's are always staggered to reduce load on El Googs servers. Patience, grasshopper ;)
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
Well it was a theory, not something I knew for a fact.
[One (M7) Android Development] Bastaerd:
It is a fact. Here in the Netherlands we usually have to wait for like 2-3 weeks before we get the ota.
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
Interesting, I'll keep 4.4.2 and see if I get 4.4.3 automatically
[One (M7) Android Development] ammurad:
Just as frustrated as you are! I've flashed 4.4.3 and given up. Ota's have just stopped being pushed. Im in the UK
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
I think something changed 2-3 weeks ago, maybe google recognizes out of US Google edition phones and delays the OTA. I might just go back to sinless when the 4.4.3 glitches are fixed
[One (M7) Android Development] jamexman:
I read somewhere 4.4.3 has a big security flaw and Google is rushing to push 4.4.4 on its nexus devices so that may be why we aren't getting the 4.4.3. By the way, I'm the USA and on 4.4.2 and I'm no getting it either. Guess we got to wait until 4.4.4 is ready for us.

Edit: Its the OpenSSL bug.
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
Thank you for sharing this!

I'm not quite sure why 4.4.0 doesn't get the 4.4.2 upgrade but it might be for a similar reason, OTAs are held or disabled until they fix the issues.
[One (M7) Android Development] jamexman:
I'll keep you updated. Are you in the US?
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
Canada (Ontario)
[One (M7) Android Development] jamexman:
Just caved in and installed the OTA 4.4.3 manually lol. Just used the update from here:

[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
I don't blame you :) Maybe you'll get the 4.4.4 OTA now that you are on 4.4.3
[One (M7) Android Development] Arkanius:
Small question:

Flashing the Pre-rooted RUU won't affect OTA updates later on right? (If stock recovery is installed)
[One (M7) Android Development] jamexman:
No. I installed the 4.4.3 Ota being rooted and it installed fine. Just make sure you don't have any root apps or mods that modify system files (like xposed or so). If you do revert them to stock before. Also make sure you got stock recovery and kernel.
[One (M7) Android Development] madasahat:
I did that and have just been prompted with an OTA 4.4.4 install which is about 17mb. Where is the OTA located on my device and I can pull it and share with everyone if needed
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
Look in the downloads or cache folder
[One (M7) Android Development] Arkanius:
I flashed the 4.4.2 ROM and then applied the OTA to 4.4.3, lost root in the process.

Is there a zip I can flash with perm root through fastboot without having to got through custom recovery -> root -> stock recovery ?

EDIT:

Worked with Towelroot

EDIT2:

I can't update the su binary though through SuperSU
[One (M7) Android Development] jamexman:
Just flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and root with super su zip, then flash stock recovery back if you wish to get future Otas and so forward.
[One (M7) Android Development] Arkanius:
But won't I lose root like I lost previously after updating with the OTA in the future?
[One (M7) Android Development] jamexman:
You may, hence ”and so on forward” meaning you can do so after taking each future OTA. It takes no longer than 5 min each time.

So, can anyone confirm that OTA's are actually pushed to the device after converting it to GPE?

Also, how does the camera record audio? The only thing holding me on the Sense ROM is the camera app which can record loud music without distorsion...
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
OTAs are pushed, but we have noticed that with 4.4.3 and 4.4.4, it wasn't instantly available for everyone. Good thing is that it only takes one person to share (like the one who shared the 4.4.4 update) and we can all install it with stock recovery.
[One (M7) Android Development] jamexman:
Yep. Good sharing :)

I'm holding on this one to test if my converted CID and MID to Google's gets it.

Thanks for letting us know, seems that the "Check now" button doesn't automatically check for the latest version, the OTA servers might say the phone is fine even if it's not.

There is good news though, after I manually installed 4.4.4, youtube plays on WiFi now :)

I'm obviously not going to flash the recovery as I don't want the stock recovery. Is there any benefit to flash the GE bootloader though? I'm s-off, so I guess I can always try it and flash back if it breaks anything.

The MID on the txt file of the zip is set to PN0710000

If you have an ATT phone is MID PN0712000
[One (M7) Android Development] gunnyman:
looks like the txt file needs to be altered

the mid of the google phone is the same as At&T
[One (M7) Android Development] graffixnyc:
I have an AT&T version and it worked fine for me

What is the CID for the ATT version? I'll change mine back and try again just to rule that out.
[One (M7) Android Development] bbedward:
It looks cooler too, in addition to the other comments lol
[One (M7) Android Development] :
I had to change my CID from GOOGL001 back to my original HTC__Y13 in order for the bootloader flash to work. Maybe this is because the CID and MID (I haven't changed mine) doesn't match?
[One (M7) Android Development] gunnyman:
I think graffixnyc used supercid
[One (M7) Android Development] ImJacky:
How to do that? If I wanna return to stock bootloader (I have S-Off) I need my backup or I can take the stock bootloader from anywhere?
[One (M7) Android Development] graffixnyc:
For the people who its failing for.

I used the same zip I posted in the op and flashed in ruu mode. I never changed my MID so it's the at&t mid on my phone. I am super cid though

[One (M7) Android Development] theletterj:
Anyone else having problems with the bootloader? I had originally flashed the first one from graffixnyc, so when I tried to flash uncon's, it gave me an error. I removed the hboot.img from the zip, and it flashed fine. Now, I'm trying to boot to TWRP via fastboot in order to backup before I flash this new uncon zip and it freezes in the bootloader. Output looks okay from the PC side:

C:\android\htcone>fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.165s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.005s]

It looks like it's okay, the green bar fills all the way when the img it being sent, but then nothing. Had to do the 3 button reset and boots normally, but I still can't get this to work so I thought this would be a good time to stop and see if anyone has any insight into this.

from there you can issue command fastboot reboot

Your lucky i had to switch back to sense because my battery would drain faster on gpe, i guess because gpe has no power saving mode.
[One (M7) Android Development] jasalta387:
Sometimes, you have to leave a fresh ROM 'settle' for a couple of days. This is probably because one starts installing a lot of apps in a short time frame and the OS gets screwed. I had some weird things happening while setting up my device (like a random reboot, and a SOD). I got all this before manually upgrading to 4.4.4 though. No problems at all since (4 days already).

Try disabling sync and gps + uninstall FB and G+, saves a lot of battery.

Hi everyone,

I have had an issue regarding OTA.

Got a converted GPE HTC one with Google CID, SOFF... I installed and used Xposed Framework + Gravity box.

When trying to update (though the OTA menu or even directly with the file) I get a "system/build.prop" has unexpected contents"" error.

So i removed Xposed framework and gravity box but sill have the same issue (i expected removing them would restore the build.prop file.

I did some research, and it seems the only work arround is to flash again the 4.2.2 RUU and the go through the different updates.

Do you guys confirm?

By doing so, am i going to loose all my data (pics, music, and apps)?

Thanks!

[One (M7) Android Development] jasalta387:
Not necessarily. It's a common flashable zip, like any custom ROM. If you come from a GPE ROM you need not do a factory reset.

Read that thread for more details.
[One (M7) Android Development] big_kitch:
I had this same issue on a previous update (you can search my previous posts for details) and the only way I was able to resolve it was to re-flash the RUU. Subsequent updates have installed fine using this approach: disable Xposed modules, reboot, uninstall Xposed framework from within the app, reboot, flash stock recovery.img, install OTA, flash custom recovery (e.g. TWRP), flash SuperSU, re-install Xposed framework from within the app, reboot, enable Xposed modules, reboot, done. All your GB settings will be retained.
