If I were to do the Ruu and im s-off with hboot 1.55 will it update me to 1-56 hboot and still have s-off. I read on a thread that by flashimg the Ruu will eliminate my phone not able to update profile and prl.

This is what I get every time. After following this guide I am normally able to use fastboot/adb just fine.

I am on rumrunner hboot 1.55.5555

Let me know what other info I can provide.. Please help!

Edit:

I ran the utility on my XP computer, and it gave me a little more info: "The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."

Is the RUU different than the OTA?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] systemshock869:
Are you asking me?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] benny3:
The end result are the same.

The OTA will update the the version of android you are on and keepall of your data intact

The RUU will wipe everything on your phone and reset it as it was when it was brand new but with the latest version of android or the version of the RUU you are using.

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

Can you confirm the windows 8.1 drivers are installed?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Thanks... knew that part but was wondering why anyone would rebase based on the RUU then.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
when u install an OTA, alot of files are "patched", RUU is just cleaner. When I diffed the 4.06 dump against the RUU, most of the files were binary equal but there were 250+ that were not.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
OP updated with 4.06 firmware, which includes the radio & much more that were not in the OTA....this will be especially handy for users that are on older versions of JB that need to get caught up.

no more simultaneous voice + LTE

i updated to kit kat and now I don't have simultaneous voice and LTE which I used to have...anyone else notice this? I know that simultaneous voice and 3G was never an option(unlike the EVO 4G LTE) but I always had simultaneous LTE + Voice...this sucks!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jaybombz:
I'm trying to run the RUU but I am getting an error 158. The installer runs and gets my phone to the black HTC screen then it fails. After exiting the installer my phone does a reboot and I'm back into my ROM (Bad Boys 4.4.2 v1.1). My phone is running unlocked HBOOT 1.44 and is S-OFF. Any ideas? Searching has netted some hits on other device forums but nothing terribly helpful for the One specifically. Should I take the Rom.zip out of the 4_06_651_4 folder and try to flash it with fastboot? If so is that ok to do unlocked or do I need to do an oem lock first?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
You run this RUU from your PC not fastboot.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jaybombz:
Understood, apologies if my post wasn't clear. When running the RUU installer from my PC I get an error 158. I was asking if anyone knows what is causing this/how to fix it or if I can work around it by manually running fastboot flash zip rom.zip and if that was safe to do unlocked.

Thanks for your help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sevarious:
Unless I am mistaken, you have to relock your bootloader to run the RUU.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jaybombz:
OP says only if you're S-ON so I thought you didn't have to if you are S-OFF.

@ OMJ

Small request.

Is it possible to have an update stock Rom with with the updated firmware so we don't have to deal with nagging .9 ota?

Or if there is a way to stop getting the notifications can you post instructions on how to just bypass it.

Much apreciated and thanks in advance!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] benny3:
Firmware cant be included in a rom, Thats software only, Why not just flash the modified firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
I just tried and it failed in twrp, unless I'm doing something wrong.

What I'm using at the moment*disregard what it says in my sig*:

Stock de-odexed Rom w/.4 firmware by OMJ.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] benny3:
some basic instructions for flashing the modified firmware....

-rename firmware to firmware.zip

-copy firmware.zip to your sdk folder

-boot into bootloader

-plug in usb

-select fastboot option (screen should say fastboot usb)

-type Fastboot oem rebootRUU

-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

-when it's done, type Fastboot reboot

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
u can't get rid of "re-locked"...my suggestion is to stay s-off & unlocked & flash this custom hboot from [MENTION=1877667]rootlinux[/MENTION], it will make it appear stock...regardless, HTC has record of you unlocking...

Can you hep me to follow correct procedure
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
yes, since you have a Sprint HTC One you'll need to flash a m7_wls ROM/RUU

2 options...flash the 4.06 RUU in OP (data & internal storage will be wiped) or just flash a custom 4.06 custom ROM
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] beppotr:
Thank you for the answers. I will flash 4.06 but Can I use myphone with GSM operator. after installing it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
I don't know alot about GSM usage, but I believe you need to unlock your SIM 1st, you might want to do that b4 flashing 4.06

Alright, this is just for firmware? We will still get the ota nagging?

I think I'm gonna RUU then get all the updates, since I'm s-off it should be painless*I hope*

Does it matter what Rom I am on? I understand it'll wipe everything doing RUU but how about the firmwares?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slaldrich:
Does this mean that if I have S-off that I do not need to relock my bootloader?

I do have S-off. Which way would be best?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] benny3:
No need to relock, Just run the RUU

Just flash the firmware, No need to RUU unless your phone is a bit wonky...lol

RUU = All data gone

Okay so I have a nandroid backup of the stock Rom which is the .4, how would I go about just getting the firmware up and running. Cause I think I'll still get the nagging ota notification.

All I want to do is be able to update the nandroid of the stock rom, just to have an updated one on hand, or at least till we get a proper sense 6 Rom*not a port/debase*.

Edit:

I remembered I tried this before however since I'm on the .4 firmware already, did the steps for the modified version. What does this change exactly*sorry for the noob question*, but how do I get rid of the ota notifications, would a RUU be the way to go then just take the updates?

RUU won't mess up your PRL, just update PRL after you do the refresh.

651.9 ???

howdee,

im on sprint with a sprint-htc-one which was completely-stock yesterday (2014-04-24)...

i did all my OTA updates and prl-updates and whatnot to get up to the latest/greatest...

next - i went for root, via this-thread-link...

in particular, i only unlocked the bootloader via htc and am still s-on, afaict...

ive also made the TWRP-backup-PRE-root as suggested... and then i got root...

ive gotten root (su is fine) and all drivers work as expected on my win-vista-32 pc...

so, i was about to double-check the "going-back-to-stock" issues and looked up this RUU...

my question is - should i be concerned between the RUU listed (651.4) here and the version

listed on my phone (651.9) ?

in case it matters, the other sw-info is: android-4.4.2, sense-5.5, sw-4.06.651.9, sdkapi-5.68,

pri-4.38_003, prl-55018, and more... kernel-3.4.10-gcbfcfd5, baseband-1.00.20.1108,

build-4.06.651.9 CL303687 release-keys, browser-webkit.534.30

i dont want to go too-far down the rabbit-hole (s-off and/or other roms) without being sure i

can get back to stock-stock, if at all possible... ie - normally i would put this RUU in my

directory and flash-back, but it has been many-moons and id like a bit of confirmation...

sorry-to-be-so-babbly - im guessing the answer is a simple - yes/no, with maybe a qualifier ?

tia, h.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
I believe you need to be s-off in order to go backwards (someone correct me if I'm wrong) so you would need a 651.9 RUU
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hfelton:
thanx - im gonna have to see whether i can get s-off then... cuz now my bootloader is also showing the tampered-flag and i need s-off to fix that afaict... hopefully i can find the s-off for hboot-1.56 somewhere... i kept-seeing s-off was easier for <1.54... at this point i should take a break from this - my eyes are going crossed from surfing the links... :cyclops:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
The sure fire way for s-off on 1.56 hboot is with firewater, I was scared I wasn't able to but it worked.

I have a question though, when I RUU will I have to redo the mods I did to hboot?

I've went ahead and did some mods to remove tampered flags and all that even changed splash screen.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hfelton:
i can confirm that version-main was blank for me - and i was stock-stock prior to getting root from htc-dev... you should be fine...

gl, h.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

thanx for that... i did the s-off via firewater and alls well... i also did the RUU via firewater (on their site also - topnav)

and it didnt even blink at my RElocked (via oem-lock) and tampered-hboot... altho i can tell it fiddled-with-hboot a bit...

i havent tried the RUU that was listed-here because i am enjoying having a basically-stock (with s-off and no-flags on hboot)

system to work with... thus, i cannot tell you if THIS RUU will fudge-up your hboot-partition/mods... id try the firewater one...

gl, h.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] lateral18:
another happy customer !!!!!

thank you , now to do the process all over again !!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hfelton:
my bad - firewater site has s-off and hboot tabs... sorry... not, ruu... thus, it (firewater) WILL affect/change your hboot... doh... :eek:

yeah - the RUU ive since-downloaded (but not bothered to try/use yet) is the one from this-thread... odds are (since i now have s-off) that it (RUU) will just downgrade to 651.4 and then id need to re-do the OTA update to 651.9... as it is - im ok with root/s-off and 651.9 with no tampered-type messages in hboot - as well as having the nice TWRP-recovery to take backups [are they called nandroid-backups anymore?]...

hth, h.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
Oh I see, I looked at the site but remembered it had only s-off and hboot stuff.

Lol, they are still called nandroid backups
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
As long as you have stock recovery, the Tampered flag will disappear. However, HBOOT will always read "relocked", not "locked". I don't know if there's a way to change it and be 100% stock - maybe with root and then unroot from inside SuperSU. Splash screen will be overwritten by the RUU.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
Ok so after ruu what extra stuff will I need to do, what is this I read about mobile hotspot hacks .
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
I'm having issues booting up with this Rom. I flashed it three times. Verified MD5 sum. Gets stuck on HTC One logo..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
have you done a wipe via recovery before booting?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
No. The reason I'm flashing this Rom is because I exchanged my phone due to the purple tint issue and I immediately flashed Viper Rom. The thing is, it's missing the hotspot and all the Sprint settings, so I wanted to flash this to gain those, and then back to viperrom without losing my data, sms' and settings.. is that

possible?

On a different phone, I had the same issue, so I ran the RUU and it gave me all the missing things, but I don't want to erase the data..

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
It doesn't work like that. You can't go between ROMs without wiping. You should fully expect a new ROM to not boot if you don't wipe. If you're going to be flashing ROMs, you need to know how, and be prepared to, back up all your data before flashing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Ok. Thanks. Can you suggest a thread to read. Also, what needs to be wiped? Everything?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
Ok, I successfully RUU'd on stock now.

So what I'm gonna do now is wait to till I'm at work and update to what ever it is to update to. I'm still getting the ota nag.

Then reroot and install my titanium backup apps.

Edit:

Okay everything is good now..

All I gotta do is reroot and install my titanium backup but before that is there a to reroot without a pc?

That's all.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
A thread about what? And /data is the big thing that needs to be wiped when going between ROMs, but for the best possible flash, wipe data, then format system, then flash ROM/extras, then wipe cache and dalvik afterwards. And give it time - first boot takes a while
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Thanks. I wiped, then flashed the ROM. It installed the Sprint default apps automatically, but the wireless hotspot option was still missing and it still said HTC instead of Sprint. And Sprint Zone was installed but wouldn't run. After accepting the privacy agreement. It would say "content error" and give an option to try again or exit. Neither helped. Tried erasing and flashing the ROM again. No go. So I ran the RUU, but still don't have wireless hotspot etc. As before. I ran the ruu on a different One that I got back from the HTC repair center that had the same issue and it helped on that one.. does anyone know why this happened in the first place/ doesn't help?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
What do you mean you don't have hotspot? As in, the option doesn't appear in the settings menu?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Yes. And the carrier says HTC
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Then it won't work until the phone is actually activated on Sprint
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
The thing is, it is activated on Sprint...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Dial ##72786#
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Ok. Done. I get to a screen called SCRTN. What should I do there? My phone number is there already..

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Sorry, thought the M7 did it automatically. Hit Menu->Reset
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
It says the four values will be reset to factory default. Are you sure it won't erase anything?

Thanks for all the help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
I'm sure. Even if it did, you just RUU'd anyway lol
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
I already flashed Viper Rom and have full of data on it... Will it erase any data? Or the ROM? Or just the network settings? So I will to call Sprint to activate it?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
That dialer step was only to help you get hotspot back on stock ROM. It's pointless if you have Viper because it will already be included
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
That's the issue. It's not there. The hotspot menu is just plain missing...

Thanks for the continued help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
If you're not stock then you need to be searching/posting in your ROM thread
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
You're 100% right. This is the last question though. :) then we're done.. if you could kindly answer, at least through pm, if you don't want to clutter the thread. Although, it might be useful to others who have sent in their phone to HTC for repairs.

I know I'm a little late to the party here but i'm in serious trouble and i'm hoping that someone can bail me out. I spent about 10 hours trying to flash a friends M7 back to stock and I've failed at every attempt including the method posted in the OP here.

The phone is S-on, the hboot is version 1.56 and the OS version says 4.06.651.4 but the software i tried to flash prior was viperONE which was an un unbelievable fail. It ended up booting to a screen that resembled AOKP and whenever i swiped up it went to the HTC screen but that's a whole separate topic. In any case, this phone was not stock when i attempted this but the firmware numbers seem to match up fine.

So I downloaded "Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU.zip" from the OP, extracted it, proceeded to lock the bootloader because of being S-on. I then ran the ARUWizard.exe while in fastboot. I went through the prompts and got to the screen where it says image version 4.06.651.4 so i click update. Then i get a screen that says I'm on image version 4.06.651.4 and it asks if I'd like to update to image version 3.05.651.6? Of course this made zero sense to me but i figured why not, so i tried it. Naturally it resulted in a 155 error. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong or where to find or how to flash the actual 4.06.651.4 image so i can return this thing to stock?

Flashing any other custom ROM's at this point all result in a successful flash but only to the lockscreen. Once I slide the lockscreen icon, i can go no further. It either boots me back to the HTC screen or it'll lock me into another screen.

Any and all help will not only be appreciated, but you, helper, will be a godsend. Thanks in advance

I'm still really confused as to why those other ROM's wouldn't flash properly. I had insert coin working just fine aside from a jawbone not working right even tho it would pair just fine which was a deal breaker.
