[One (M7) General] dispereo:
Thanks a lot nathlynn22.

My mates haven't explained anything. Seriously, the only thing they said, I gotta do this because it's so much better listing me a dozen things which I didn't understand at this point (and figured out NOW that I really don't give a **** about.). And they are in Germany, even if they wanted to, they physically couldn't help me fixing it. Which is the reason I came here.

I got S-OFF yes. I used a tool called rumrunner which did it all automatically. And I remember I used squabbi and accidentally put it on S-ON again so I had to do the whole procedure again.

I'll check the links you posted, thank you... I hope I'll understand, I am not really good in technical stuff, def. learnt my lesson there.

I have been on crushalots 100% link already but there again I couldn't find the O2 UK version. Since I am scared I'd break it even more I wasn't sure if I can just take any of those. And in some forums they tell people not to use superCID. So not sure if that's a good idea either.

If I superCID my device install any other RUU and then put the CID back to my O2, wouldn't that also mean that the phone checks that and won't boot up anymore? Or doesn't go the security as far as checking AFTER it has been installed?

Also that guide starts with the RUU zip and the RUU exe, do I have to do both or either? Because reading it, it sounds like I have to do both.

crush's steps adjusted would be:

If you have any other CID you need to change it before beginning.

Code:

adb reboot-bootloader

Phone should boot to the bootloader. Now run:

Code:

fastboot oem writecid 111111 (<-- there is no O2 stock ROM, so I write 111111 to be able to install HTC__001, is that correct?)

Now verify that the stock CID shows on the bootloader screen by running:

Code:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Reboot device if CID on bootloader screen shows the stock CID. If not retry

Restoring using a RUU.zip

Download the RUU.zip file (I can't find a RUU that has the 2.24 version?!)

and place in your ADB/fastboot folder.

Boot your phone into the bootloader by holding the power and vol up/down buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader screen or if you have your phone booted you can use the ADB command:

Code:

adb reboot-bootloader

Now use these fastboot commands:

Code:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Should see the Silver HTC logo. Now issue this command to flash your phone using the ruu.zip file:

Code:

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. You have to issue the exact command again:

Code:

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:

Code:

fastboot reboot

or

Code:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

**Notes about the RUU.zip method. You still need to have the proper CID for the RUU. You can run the RUU.zip with super CID, but you will have to lock your bootloader first. If you are running the RUU.zip as base to downgrade all your firmware because you are going to then going to restore a stock Nandroid so the RUU might not be made for your MID, so you may need to edit the android-info.txt inside the ruu.zip to include your MID or CID. <-- I don't understand what that means. I don't want to downgrade, can I ignore that?
