Same here, you can read my earlier posts in this thread. Something in Xsposed did not uninstall properly and reflashing the RUU was the only fix. Before flashing, I took a Nandroid and restored data later. I lost nothing.
[One (M7) Android Development] Owdy:
Should i use nonrooted if i wanna OTA updates?
[One (M7) Android Development] alangrig:
Yes, only!
[One (M7) Android Development] Owdy:
And recovery.img?
[One (M7) Android Development] big_kitch:
I have received OTA updates despite being rooted.
[One (M7) Android Development] alangrig:
You received, but can't install. What's the point? Yes, you can modify update script in order to exclude from script system file check, but the additional not important hassle around.
[One (M7) Android Development] big_kitch:
Well it depends what you are after. I wanted to be rooted and have been able to update following the steps I outlined in post #4032. This allows the OTA to be installed normally.
[One (M7) Android Development] Owdy:
Hmm, another n00b quiestion, where can i see my modeilid?

Do i need this stock recovery to install OTAs?

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Yess, it works! Now i have Play edition, OTA works also. Wohoo, thank you :)
[One (M7) Android Development] play1962:
Not true, you can receive and install OTA while rooted as long as you have stock recovery. I've done it many times.
[One (M7) Android Development] alangrig:
That's not true. Every update script has part of the code which checks for modification system files. Root modifies system files, thus you will get error during installation process, unless you haven't modifies script.
[One (M7) Android Development] pigr8:
wrong, script checks modified files in /system, not new added one like root

dont spread erroneus information if you dont really know
[One (M7) Android Development] alangrig:
I know what I'm taking about.
[One (M7) Android Development] Waiting4MyAndroid:
No! You really don't!
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
In this case, you are wrong, if you have root and stock recovery, the OTA will download and install as if you did not have root.

You will lose root in the process, but having root doesn't prevent the OTA from installing.
[One (M7) Android Development] Darnell_Chat_TN:
That's right. I have updated both my N10 and HTC One through several OTA versions of Android and I'm always rooted when doing it. And with a Nexus device, you don't even need stock recovery. The HTC One is not a "Nexus", so it needs stock recovery. If you use stock recovery and remove all traces of Xposed, the HTC One takes an OTA like any other. Root is lost though post update.
[One (M7) Android Development] alangrig:
Ok. I'm taking my words back, seems just misguided da case
[One (M7) Android Development] cwalk2this:
Hi All, I decided to take the plunge last Thursday and convert my M7 to stock GPE after running Sense ROMs for the last year. After install, it prompted me for the 4.4.3 OTA update, which installed fine. After that, it prompted me for the 4.4.4 OTA update, which also installed fine. After a week of stock GPE I love it and would never go back Sense. Thanks!
[One (M7) Android Development] alangrig:
Totally agree with, but one thing that bothers me: no stereo recording sound.
[One (M7) Android Development] jollyboggles:
Hi, could someone help me?

A few months ago I converted a friends phone to GPE and now they've an OTA update option appearing. How can I check that it's safe for them to do this? I can't remember if I install the recovery for future updates.

Checks I have done is booting into recovery and it's not CWM or any other custom recovery. It comes with a wee android robot.

Also, the CID is 1111111

Thanks.
[One (M7) Android Development] Owdy:
I have supercid and same setup. Installed 2 OTAs, Android is 4.4.4 now. Everything is fine.
[One (M7) Android Development] jollyboggles:
Thank you. We've rolled with it and thankfully everything installed without error.
[One (M7) Android Development] ajua:
Hi guys. I love Sense but I've been running CM11 the last couple of weeks but I want to try the stock GPE rom.

I plan to install the RUU in the OP and then update to 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 via OTA manually (to speed things up). I'm downloading the RUU and OTAs.

I have a few questions regarding the conversion so I will appreciate any answers:

- To root it do I only need to flash TWRP or CWM and either SuperSU or SuperUser, right? I will do this until I'm on 4.4.4 OTA.

- To revert to Sense flashing the latest Sense RUU will be enough?

- In case of reverting, is the 1.44 Hboot flashing really necessary?

I will have TWRP flashed. The Sense RUU exe should flash boot, recovery, firmware and rom but I would like to have a confirmation on weather or not the 1.44 is needed before running the RUU.

My phone is the US unlocked version I'm s-off. MID: PN0712000 CID: BS_US001

Thanks!
[One (M7) Android Development] alangrig:
Yes, to revert back to sense you have downgrade hboot, thus hboot should be older in comparison to one in flashable RUU.exe.
[One (M7) Android Development] ajua:
It's Hboot 1.44 a must then. Any reference to get the stock unmodified one? So I can have it just in case.

I'm on mobile so can't do much of a research. Thanks!

[One (M7) Android Development] ach1:
I have 4.4 OTA update notification showing up.

I click to install and restart; it shuts down, opens up TWRP recovery, some lines of text scroll down (as though it's installing something), then just goes back to TWRP menu. I reboot the system and nothing's changed - says I still have 4.4.3.

A few days later the notification comes up again..

Is there a particular stock recovery I need to flash beforehand ? I tried with the 4.3 one I think, but it solved nothing.
[One (M7) Android Development] ajua:
Thanks. It says signed by aa on the file name. It's the stock unmodified hboot?
[One (M7) Android Development] Owdy:
Yes, you can find it from first post.
[One (M7) Android Development] big_kitch:
You need to flash the stock recovery for the version you are currently running. You can extract recovery.img from the OTA for that version. Then the new OTA will install fine. If you are rooted you will lose it but you can reflash TWRP and then re-root.
[One (M7) Android Development] ach1:
Thanks for the reply but I did this - it started to install the update in stock recovery but ended with just 'Error' and the android icon with an exclamation mark on it.. Anybody had that?

I rebooted, still 4.4.3 and no prompt to update (but that'll come back randomly in a few days).
[One (M7) Android Development] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Totally remove anything that may have modified your system files. Including any Xposed Framework Modules, the Xposed Framework and even the Xposed installer.
[One (M7) Android Development] mrgwap:
I flashed the 4.4.2 RUU and got updated to 4.4.3 then got an update to 4.4.4
[One (M7) Android Development] Toxicoblivion:
Ok guys, I'm really sorry to post this, but I've been out of the HTC game for about two months now and I have forgotten many of the finer details when it comes to flashing. My main goal is to take my current HTC One (previously an AT&T version but fully converted to GPE I believe) into a stock GPE edition. Right now I'm running the 4.4.2 ARHD ROM with the black google boot loader and firmware ( I don't remember which version. 4.something I believe). I have SuperCID and S-Off and all that. Is it safe for me to flash following OPs instruction? Will that make me fully stock + able to get OTAs and everything? Any help is much appreciated. No bashing please.
[One (M7) Android Development] ach1:
Yeah, uninstalled xposed and it's models, searched my phone for 'xposed' and found the installer to delete.. but still doesnt want to work - still shows up with 'Error' about 1/3 way installing.

I guess I'll just wait until Android L, flash that and start from scratch again!
[One (M7) Android Development] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Sounds like your only option would be to run the RUU to start fresh and then download the OTAs. I had to. But the cause I was told is some issue with Xposed not cleaning up well in a prior version. Discussed earlier in this thread.
[One (M7) Android Development] pigr8:
yes, it will clean everything and reflash all the partition contained on the RUU so everything will be back stock, including hboot recovery system cache data.. and you will receive OTAs even if you have supercid, the updater and the flashing script does not check the cid if the security is off.

backup your data

I made this app because I got sick of flashing stock recovery when a GPE OTA came, and then flashing back to a custom. I also wanted to cut my teeth on Android App Development so here it is. My first app..

[One (M7) Android Development] Xeperu:
After several failed tries with bloated mods I'm back, and even after upgrading OTA to 4.4.4 my biggest pet peeve is still there (which is not present in Sense and Cyanogen based mods).

When I pair the phone to my in car system (Volkswagen RNS 315) my Bluetooth will crash after roughly 10 minutes.

The error message on screen can be translated as "Unfortunately Bluetooth share has stopped". I can click this away and after a bit the system will pair again, and everything starts over again.

Now I have been looking around and there seem to be more people experiencing this, but no real solution has appeared.

Perhaps one of you kind fellows has a solution.

Thanks.

Does ART works with this conversion? If yes, The original recovery is neccessary or with TWRP works as well?

[One (M7) Android Development] liam_davenport:
ART Works and you don't need the stock recovery for it :D
[One (M7) Android Development] Nic2112:
The original recovery is necessary if you want the OTAs to install. Once you are on 4.4.4, you can switch to a custom recovery if you want to.
[One (M7) Android Development] Rix70:
hi guys:)

please, were i get the latest GPe hboot 1.54 with 6.9.401.5 fw

thanks however
[One (M7) Android Development] jasalta387:
You should be able to get the firmware from the OTA http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53681467

Then extract the firmware.zip from the ota zip. The firmware will contain the stock kernel and recovery which you may want to remove. It is theoretically possible, although I never tried myself.

Another less direct way:

1- make a nandroid of your current config

2 - backup your SD card

3 - apply the RUU of the OP (this will wipe everything)

4 - wait for the OTAs (4.4.3, and 4.4.4) or flash manually. Important is to have stock recovery.

5 - flash your custom recovery

6 - restore nandroid from (1) and SD card from (2)

Facing mobile data issues

Hi there,

first of all many thanks for providing this guide and the respective files.

After obtaining s-off and super super cid for my m7_ul sometime last year, I now got fed up with Sense and was seeking for this pure Android experience. (due to work demands I unfortunately do not have the time to keep up with every week's development here)

As modid matched I just followed the guide as set out in OP straight forward and all went flawless.

I then received 4.4.3. and 4.4.4. OTA update and installed those without any problems.

After that, being about to set up everything, I noticed that mobile data won't work.

I tried two different sim cards which both worked before but it will not connect whilst voice signal is not an issue.

I reseted APNs, reseted phone strings, tried to type in APN manually. Nothing worked. All indicators in the bar remain grey instead of turning blue - even if connected via wifi.

I am now wondering whether this may be related to the radio which came with 4.4.4 or whether it is a problem with the conversion in general?

Another question which is not totally clear to me: do I need to additionally flash the respective Firmware or does the RUU I flashed include this already?

In course of OTA updates I lost root and did not change that so far. Can that cause my mobile data troubles?

I searched this thread and the forum for this but did not find a working solution. So every hint which might lead to a work around would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
[One (M7) Android Development] jasalta387:
Did the problem start just after you upgraded to 4.4.4?

Have you checked that the SIM cards get data connection on another phone?

You can check what firmware version you have by entering fastboot mode (OS version is called there). If you had stock recovery when the OTA got applied, you got the latest firmware (with the accompanying radio) too.
[One (M7) Android Development] jdsign:
Hi, thanks for your reply.

Both sim cards work fine with my gf's phone.

Did you check the APN settings? For me (Canada) the APNs are detected automatically so I don't have to adjust them.
[One (M7) Android Development] jdsign:
Hi,

i solved it now. It seems to have something to do with the APN settings created by the GE Rom. I created a New APN providing less information than the APNs which were created by the OS based in the provider settings. (means I just let more fields blank and also enabled IPv6).

Now mobile data works. It is interesting because I arrived some weeks ago in HK and with ARHD the mobile data just worked with the settings created automatically. I never opened the respective settings tab.

Whilst this is not related to an original GPE Problem, I am sorry for the OT.

Android 4.4.4. runs flawlessly with ART enabled. thanks so much!
