No it's normal.

As stated in the install instructions:

Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.

Put the device in fastboot mode

(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)

Connect the device to the computer

Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:

fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, repeat the above step:

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

That is because it applies a pre-update, then the rest of the update.

If this was an RUU doing the update, it would reboot itself and flash the rest and reboot again.

We are doing it manually.

All I know is I opened TiBack and it said it could not obtain root. Maybe I borked it by updating the firmware after installing the ROM. At any rate, I'm all good now. Thanks for your help and for the ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
No worries, glad you are all set now either way. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TheAppleAndroidGuy:
I keep getting an error:36 with backup assistant when I try to sync my contacts. I'm on the odexed debloated rom. Any ideas why this might be happening?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Worked fine in my tests, so I don't know.

Sounds like a provisioning issue.

Like maybe your device wasn't configured properly when you flashed this rom.

Like maybe you were on some ported rom or aosp rom which misconfigured some deeper settings.

If that is the case, you will need to do the radio reset routine that I have posted quite a few times now due to radio issues from flaky roms.

Which consists of: backup, flash stock firmware, stock rom, stock recovery, do factory reset in stock recovery, flash custom recvery, restore rom backup and transfer backed up storage back to device.

If it's not the above and your signal has been fine, etc,...then I don't know.

Clear data for the app? I use Google to backup and restore contacts.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TheAppleAndroidGuy:
I'm guessing it is a provisioning error since I would get it right after it would say it was provisioning. My signal and all seems fine though... :confused: I guess I don't really need the backup so I might just leave it.

Wondering the steps on how to flash the newest odexed debloated

after its downloaded what steps do i take to flash the rom? if there is already a write up, can you point me in the direction plz
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
If you don't have a custom recovery already, flash one such as cwm or twrp.

If CWM, do this in terminal from your adb/fastboot directory:

fastboot flash recovery [URL="http://flyhalf205.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7vzw.img"]recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7vzw.img[/URL]

Put the downloaded rom on the device's internal storage.

Do the firmware update as directed in the second post.

Then boot to Recovery (Hold power and volume down until you see white hboot menu: use volume rocker to scroll down one and select recovery.)

In Recovery, select flash zip, choose the zip you put on the device, let it flash, reboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pons:
Have you read the first two posts, perchance?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] djerk:
great tutorial, I went for the minimal adb and fastboot, was able to find the directory and copied the firmware zip to it , ran the commands as stated in op got error couldn't find zip, I was able to type the commands to get back to my bootloader, some of this computer stuff is really new to me so I appreciate all your help and patience, that goes for all of xda!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muness:
I confirm this: this morning, fastboot didn't work under Windows 8.1. I then updated the firmware to the latest 4.3 firmware (2.10.605.1 firmware.zip) and fastboot started working under Windows 8.1.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dva010:
I haven't got the chance to try it yet but that's awesome that it works now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rwcasto:
failed 90

Quick question- I have read the forum and dont see if anyone had the same issue- I am on .15 firmware with the stock .10 rom- I have flashed your hboot with no issues- however, tried to flash the newest firmware 2.10 and i get "failed 90 hboot pre-update" flush image etc

see attached pics what did I do wrong?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Reread the instructions for flashing the firmware: that is expected

You need to reflash, as stated. It does a pre-update and then the update.

I just explained this on the last page.

It's in the instructions though. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rwcasto:
DOH! Sorry man! Worked perfect many thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
No problem :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] drblast:
i did the firmware flash and after my phone gets stuck on the vzw screen and wont boot for me to put the zip on the internal storage
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Oops, that's why I said to do that first.

Use adb sideload or fastboot

From Recovery you have an adb sideload option:

adb sideload nameoffile.zip

or from fastboot

fastboot flash zip nameoffile.zip
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] drblast:
alright so once i download the zip i want i can just fastboot zip the file? does it need to be on my phones internal?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
You can fastboot flash it or adb sideload it.

Both processes are done with the file in your adb/fastboot directory on your pc.

I was trying to give you an alternative way to flash the rom, since you flashed the firmware before loading the rom file and now can't boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] drblast:
oh alright well ill just flashboot it thanks!!

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

do i have to be in ruu mode?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Read the op. The instructions are laid out for you there.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
To adb sideload, you will be in Recovery mode and attached via USB cable.

To fastboot flash, you will be in fastboot usb mode and attached via usb cable.

You may wanna start a thread in general on how to do these things or just Google it.

This information is everywhere. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bloodiedwraith:
Stupid question - if I wanted to flash the newer firmware and radio while on CM11 what would be the process for that?

I've also thought about just flashing the firmware, and then the stock debloated deodexed version of the OTA and then if I wanted to go back to AOSP I could just restore my backup and have said firmware and radio updates already...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Yeah, you can flash the firmware(which includes the radio and 4.3 sense Boot.img, and other modem data)

Then flash the stock rom, or flash cm11 before you reboot.

That way you have the new firmware and radios, and then whichever rom you load will install the proper kernel to move forward from there.

Essentially you can do the firmware update, reflash cm11 without wiping and end up updated and not have had to wipe anything or change roms.

Just don't try to boot to the OS in between, it won't boot with the sense kernel on cm11, so you have to flash cm11 if you wanna stay on it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] drblast:
another stupid question

sorry to blow this thread up but when i try to flash the rom it says FAILED (remote: not allowed) where do i go from there?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Try the other method I mentioned.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] drblast:
when i try that adb method

the message i recieve is error device not found
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Ok, well you will have to try and find usb drivers for your setup.

I can't really turn this into a "How to use adb" thread. sorry.

But there are good ones out there.

I think I linked you one earlier.

You may wanna resort to just doing the RUU like you were going to initially.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] drblast:
Tried flashing

tried flashing 2.10.605.1 firmware and it stays stuck at verizon screen. im super stuck right now nothing is working
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I thought you were just gonna flash an RUU since you didn't put any roms on your phone before flashing the firmware.

The RUU's are at the bottom post #2. Reflashing the firmware isn't gonna put a rom on the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] drblast:
can you link me to the RUU's

i dont understand what post #2 youre talking about

I remember him posting the other day he was going to post the kernel. He probably just hasn't gotten around to it yet because he spent most of yesterday making repairs to his pc.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
It's already in the rom....firmware includes the secure one, so I just added insecure to the rom this time. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Thmstec:
Love the ROM, just having one issue.

My bluetooth audio is cutting out after a few minutes when I'm in my car (Kenwood head unit with A2DP / HFP / AVRCP 1.3 profiles). The head unit will sometimes report an error, sometimes it won't. The phone acts like nothing has happened and reports that it is still connected and keeps playing music. This has happened while playing games (Anomaly 2) or while listening to google play music.

I'm about to test with some other A2DP devices I have. Anyone else having issues?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
So i just flashed the deodexed rom, The flashed the firmware. Then the stock recovery... Did I do this in the wrong order? I cannot seem to get into stock recovery to wipe. I just get a red triangle...

or should I just wipe from within the rom., i feel like that may not be the same thing...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
You are supposed to flash the firmware BEFORE the rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
You can do it from within the rom by selecting a reset from within Settings.

It will wipe and reboot. You can also press volume up and power when you see the triangle, to access stock recovery menu.

Either way works, from settings is probably easiest. They do the same task.

Flashing firmware first is best, so that you end up with a rooted boot.img from the rom itself.

Otherwise the secure boot.img in the firmware overwrites it.

If you are just trying to do the factory reset routine to fix radios, it doesn't really matter the order then.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
I swear i tried that... It worked and this is all just for complete reset. I think I am rocking your GPE KK for good, want to be running as fresh as possible. I wonder how long I can go without crack flashing.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eyetek:
So is there a custom kernel I can use with this ROM then, or is someone working on one that we can use with it?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DroidFamily:
Do I have to flash firmware can't I just flash the Rom I have the .15 base
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Nobody HAS to flash anything.

If you read the OP, I highly advise it.

You will not get all the modem data that comes in the firmware if you don't.

But nobody will force you to do it.

You could get by just flashing the new radios and the rom.

As I said and is stated in the OP though, I suggest doing it all, just like an OTA would.

Otherwise you essentially have a partial update. Most of it, but still not quite all of it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DroidFamily:
I know nobody will force me buddy and I appreciate your work. I'm asking if I'm on . 15 rooted Rom can I download the new update from you and flash it over the top or do I need to flash firmware as well
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
Yes, flash the firmware because you will want the radio and such included in the firmware - as it is meant to work with the new 4.3 update.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Thank you for posting recovery flashable zips. My computer just broke so I haven't been able to use fastboot and adb at all lately.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:

It's nice to have them for times like that.

I always feel it's good to have both options available for several reasons.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jbh00jh:
What is the best kernal to use with this rom to get the best results??

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] im_high_tech:
I flashed the new firmware 2.10.605.1 over Bonestock 1.4.1 ( it was the .15 release). My phone now will not go passed the black boot screen with htc ONE logo.

Should I just try flashing the previous firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I don't know. It's the stock rom, maybe the stock kernel is best.

I really don't know. Haven't run this long enough to even try too many kernels on it.

You may just have to play with the few available options you have, if there even are more then a couple.

See what works best for you, and your usage habits.

Sorry, that's about the best answer I can give you.

Hopefully Verizon/Htc give us the 4.3 kernel source soon too.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
That's because the firmware is for stock based roms of the same revision.

It has a 4.3 Boot.img/kernel in it for the 4.3 rom.

That's why the OP says to grab the firmware for your respective stock rom version.

To fix the bootloop, you need to reflash Bonestock, so that the kernel from that rom overwrites the one you just flashed over it.

Or flash the rooted stock rom of the same version.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] im_high_tech:
Thank you for such a speedy response! Could I just flash a 4.2.2 kernel instead? I dont really feel like going through the whole process of installing everything again, unless I have to.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
As long as it includes a Boot.img.

If it's packaged as an anykernel, which most are, it won't replace the ramdisk and may well still not boot.

In fact yeah, flash the stock: 1.10.605.15 Insecure stock kernel - R/W enabled

It's in post#2 and it has the full Boot.img.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pimpindexter:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:
There seem to be a lot of people having trouble flashing the firmware. so far I only did the ROM.

Is it possible to make a TWRP/CWMR flashable .zip that can do everything? firmware, radio, kernel, and ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
The only reason people are having issues is because they aren't following directions. You have to flash the firmware then the ROM. If you're running a custom ROM already. Remove the boot.img from the zip before you flash the firmware and you will be OK.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:
I just want santod's Deoxed, debloated ROM with everything up to date (radios, kernel, etc), and to keep my currently installed TWRP. should I still remove the boot.img? the last thing I want to do is remove my custom recovery.

and if I already have his newest ROM installed (just did it a few hours ago), should I rewipe and reinstall the ROM after flashing the firmware? I suppose even if I don't need to, it would be better if I did..

I usually know what I'm doing but I haven't flashed any ROMs with this phone yet because I've been waiting for Venom to release. I've been running stock since the exploit came out and I want this update while keeping root. the last phone I rooted was the MyTouch 4G, which I've been using up until I got this one back in Aug.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] deli pastrami:
Thanks so much for this, just updated my firmware with your easy-to-use instructions ^_^
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I advise flashing firmware then the rom if you are intending to stay rooted.

If you are going back to unrooted, then you may wanna reverse the process.

Essentially the firmware contains an unmodified kernel as well as other components mentioned in post 2.

The rom has the same kernel which is packed into a Boot.img/Ramdisk.

The Boot.img/kernel/ramdisk in the rom is root enabled/insecure, the one in the firmware is secure/not root enabled.

This prevents you from doing certain adb commands and things of that nature.

So you will want to flash secure firmware, then insecure kernel/rom.

Have the rom on your internal storage so you can just flash it right after the firmware.

To sum it up:

Just flash the firmware and reflash the rom, don't wipe anything.

Make a backup first.

You should be fine.

It's not the end of the world if you flash the rom and then the firmware, I just prefer to have a root enabled ramdisk.

So to have that, flash the rom after, it does not wipe any data or anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:
I really appreciate the detailed explanation. I enjoy learning about wtf I'm doing, instead of blindly following directions. thank you so much.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Got it guys. That's a sufficient amount of reports.

Too bad it wasn't mentioned much sooner or I could have had it fixed and reuploaded days ago.

Nobody mentioned it till now, so I did not know.

It would just be the deodexed versions with the issue.

Odex should be perfectly fine.

I initially had some issues deodexing that was killing all camera features, including standard camera.

Once I had that worked out and the camera opened without issues, I assumed vidcam was fine as well. Apparently not.

I will try and get the deodexed versions remade and reuploaded in the coming days.

Probably not doing much until Monday really, since I have family visiting until then.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] alekurkudi:
What is recommended, to flash the full firmware or just the radios?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
From the OP:

:)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] chip.hughes:
santod040, I was looking for an insecure boot image for the 4.3 roms, so that I could take advantage of brymaster5000's kernel on a stock release. Seems to get everything to work right, I need to flash insecure to gain read/write to the ramdisk. You don't have one laying around, do you?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] alekurkudi:
Well I was actually asking so that I can understand why I should flash both the new firmware and radios if I plan on flashing other custom ROMs
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
The new radio and firmware will work on the older ROMs just fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] alekurkudi:
I understand that they will work on older ROMs but what difference does it make if I flash both vs just the radios?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
If you don't want to flash the firmware then don't. It just has newer libs/binaries most of the time which could help prevent possible issues with the new radio on old firmware. He suggest that you flash the firmware because it is most likely not going to cause you any issues. In my opinion you're more likely to have an issue on old firmware and new radios.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] alekurkudi:
Thank you. It should be okay to flash them over my current ROM correct? Running santods KitKat gpe ROM
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
That should be fine just pull the boot.img from the zip before you flash so you don't flash the stock kernel over the ROM. Don't extract the zip just open it and delete the boot.img from it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Firmware contains the stock 4.3 boot.IMG/kernel.

If you wanna flash it over a custom ROM, remove the Boot.IMG.

Or reflash the ROM after flashing firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
The latest Stock rooted ROM has an insecure boot.IMG already.

For previous ones, there are insecure boots posted.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:
If it's not too much trouble, can you post a .zip that has only the necessary changes to the ROM for the crashing video camera? I would hate to have to reflash the whole thing. I too am on Deodex Debloat.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
No problem.

Windows hides file extensions by default.

You probably had firmware.zip.zip as the original extension was hidden, so you added it.

See that a lot on Windows.

I can adb into recovery or fastboot and the bootloader screen shows the upgraded version numbers.

Can I copy the ROM zip in recovery somehow in order to flash the 4.3 ROM? I have TWRP installed.
