Pardon my negligence but I have no idea of What modified App I should grab, where do I download the downgraded radio and what ROM do I flash?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Crossvxm:
First post of the first page of this entire thread. As someone corrected me earlier, no need to switch roms. Just downgrade the radio using the custom recovery flashable radio provided, and toss the modified app also stated there into the system/app folder, set permissions as rx-r-r, and follow with the other threads.

No Sound

I have did everything needed, popped in a Simple Mobile SIM, texting works fine as well as incoming and outgoing calls. Only issue is there is no sound when in call. Also, if anyone has the correct APN settings for Simple Mobile, I would greatly appreciate it if you posted them here. Thank you.

I have 2 HTC Ones.

Only difference is one has the Bad Boyz ROM and the other has ViperROM 6.2.1.

I get the VDM message on one of them. I have SIM Unlocked, TWRP, Root, Unlocked Boot Loaded, TAMPERED message is on both. Bootloader 1.56.

I have placed SIM in both phones and neither work, no sound in calls at all. I have seen where another member arose with this problem and no one ever said anything, I have read this forum 2 times and I haven't seen anything. Am I missing something?

Thank you OP and all the members.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
For me to get sound to work in-call, you have to have the lowest firmware and radio, in this case being (1.00.20.0315). Once you downgrade to that and have a 4.1.2 ROM, you will get sound in-call working. For some reason for me, if I have a 4.2+ ROM, I get no sound in-call, but only on 4.1 I get sound. If you want to, you can get firewater hboot (bootloader) to remove those pesky messages. (after you have s-offed, remember that) (P.S. if you don't want vDM messages, remove anything in system/app relating to OMADM.)

same problem with audio and not data

hi sr. i have same problems with the new roms not audio on call i downgrade to 4.1.2 and now i have audio in call but i have problem with the data.

not data on phone i check all setting on apn area but i still without data any help?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
Change it GSM auto (PRL) in *#*#4636#*#*. Then go into network operators and search for networks. Then select your network. Once that is done and you have correct APN settings, then maybe you'll get a icon saying "GSM" on there.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] IngeniousTechsLLC:
thank you

Thank you for this reply. I'm not too bothered by the VDM message, only comes up once in a while. Just confused as some here make no mention about downgrading to another firmware to fix the voice issue, most get it on their current firmware. Is there a certain guide you can point me to in order to downgrade? I do not have S-OFF, that is the only part I haven't did yet, didn't see any need for it.

Once again, thank you.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
You need matching softwares and firmwares to get it to work. I have 4.1 firmware and software. If I try to go to 4.3 without updating firmware, I will not get sound in-call. What version do you have?

If it's SIM unlocked and you're using it on a carrier outside the US, you can use any matching firmware/software.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] linux2003:

i make a research and erase all my old config data and reboot now i get data..

Sprint htc one unlock help me please!!! Super noob

I have sprint htc one android ver 4.4.2 htc sense 5.5 .I have never rooted a phone or flashed a rom before i know nothing in this field. I know nothing about s-off and unlocking boot loader etc.I am very savy wit computers and electronics but never messed with phones programming stuff could some one tell me step by step what to do and what and where what files will be needed. I dont want to mess this up by guessing and such. I appreciated any hand holding on this someone could give me
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Crossvxm:
Here's a quick cap on the required process:

First you need to download HTC Sync manager, then uninstall HTC Sync manager while keeping the drivers, then unlock your bootloader via HTCdev (Google it, the rest is self explained in the website). Next you flash a custom recovery using the same thing (Command Prompt and ADB) which will be your gateway to custom roms. Next, Google up how to S-Off the M7 using firewater. To give you an EXTRA tip, you will need to flash a CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly, stock will cause you issues. Since your S-On, you will need to extract that same ROM on your PC, and steal the "boot.img" file from it and toss it into your ADB folder. Flash that, THEN flash the ROM. Once CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly is in, now is the moment to pull of the firewater method. It should succeed and in the bootloader menu of your phone you should be S-Off. Now you can flash any (Sprint M7) ROM without the need of extracting the ROM zip each time and flashing the stupid boot.img.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] IngeniousTechsLLC:
Hey

How did you downgrade and do you have the files that you used? Thank you.

SIM Unlocked Sprint HTC One M7, no Sound in Receiver Speaker During Call

I Have SIM Unlocked HTC one M7, Now sometimes Receiver Speaker goes off during the call.

I have done below steps,

1) At Android 4.1.2 Level Unlocked Bootloader, Flashed CWM, Tried to SIM Unlock using Terminal Emulator , thought it Didn't show success message , it was accepting GSM SIM.

2) I used it for 1 month with no problem.

3) Suddenly after one month sometimes Receiver Speaker goes off during the call, if rebooted device, receiver works fine for 2-3 calls & then again the same problem.

4) To fix the issue i tried to flash stock 4.4.2 RUU, but still the same problem persists.

Current Configuration :-

Android - 4.4.2

Software - 5.03.651.3

HTC Sense - 6.0

HBoot - 1.57.000

SOFF

Radio - 1.01.20.0515

CID-11111111

Can Anybody help me to resolve this issue ?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Ugh. Facepalm. You, sir, are an idiot.

1. This is not the forum for the E8 - actually, it's not even the forum for the M8. This is for the M7.

2. What you have done is unlocked your bootloader (and wasted $25 in the process, since HTCDev can do it for free) - NOT unlocked the SIM.

If i upgrade the OS with Official Sprint HTC One M7 Sense 6 Update with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, Build 5.03.651.3, can i loose the unlocking?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
If you RUU, you will lose the unlock if you are using the phone with a US carrier. It can be used outside the US permanently, no matter what you do. If you are using it in the US, you can flash a ROM based on that release and the unlock will remain.

TWRP Recovery Installed & Rooted (SuperSU)

Factory Reset.

The target is to get Sim Unlocked so that I can use GSM SIim's from other networks outside the USA. I have performed. From the instructions in the first post, I have rooted the device. I am stuck when trying to do S-Off using FireWater (http : // firewater-soff dot com / instructions)

When following the instructions for S-Off -

adb reboot <–important!!!!
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater

nothing happens when I try to execute firewater. Upon investigation, I have realized that after I try to execute firewater, the file disappears from /data/local/tmp. Tried about a dozen times at least.

Just for the heck of it, have even tried rumrunner but that exits with a fatal error and asking me to upgrade to a new version from their website - that I guess is firewater now.

[MENTION=5281845]Crossvxm[/MENTION], you seem to be pointing to this issue. Would you please help with a little more detail on what you have specified earlier about the stock ROM and how to get away from that...

Not in a position to spend a few hundred more bucks on a new phone. Can't use just another handset after using this masterpiece for over 18 months! Please help.

Could you please tell me what I should do?

i cant install htcOMADM_SPCS.apk, i get APP NOT INSTALLED.

i did flashed htcOMADM_SPCS.zip few times via twrp, but nothing appeared in phone..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] muneebrocks:
what do you mean nothing opens at all? send a screen shot

basically once you are on 4.1.2 using RUU of 1.29

You are going to use the SIM Unlock Helper app next. After you select the app, it might say "Device Check Fail" in Big Red Letters. It might also say, "This Device is not a Sprint HTC One! Therefor, this Program will not run". This is ok. What you want to do is click the 3 Menu Dots on the Upper Right hand side and Select "Display SIM Unlock Log". It might ask you for Permissions. Make sure to Grant them. After that it will say "SIM Unlock Log". There shouldn't be anything there. Now hit the back button and now it should say Device Verified, Root Available etc. etc.

Next is you want to tap Start. If everything goes well, within seconds you should be in the OMADM Test Client. Scroll all the way down to the end and tap the selection SIMLOCK. The phone will freeze a couple of seconds and then return to normal. Once done tap the back button and the SIM Unlock Helper should show SIM Unlock Results. If it says Successful, reboot the phone (Although tapping Reboot might not work from the app itself)

and with regards to htcOMADM_SPCS its not going to show anything it wasnt supposed to either
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dainius87:

please look at video.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] muneebrocks:
I think your file htcOMADM_SPCS.apk got corrupted

Basically just run the RUU again and then please dont do anything with the htcOMADM_SPCS.apk, or htcOMADM_SPCS.zip

these files were only meant for other android versions not the one you are using.

Once you run the RUU only install the viperboy app. give it root access and then the menu will hopefully show up
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dainius87:
yes, it was corrupted htcomadm_spcs.

after flash with 1.29 ruu i was able to unlock,

then i flashed stock recovery back and updated to 4.4.2 .. waiting for lolipop :)
