Well it depends on the situation for me. If I am updating android all together, I will use the ruu but if its just software fixes on the same android version I'll do firmware. Really depends on what you want to do.

The OP said to just run the exe file. I assume this means it's not fastbooted, but I'm not sure of the correct process.

Can someone help me with the steps. I'm sure it's simple but don't want to create issues for myself.

HeyaGuys simple Question:

The RUU is for the WL Variant and gives me an error on my sprint WLS everytime.

Is the reasin becausd im S On or because its not possible to flash an WL-RUU on a WLS Variant?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
This thread is for WHL variant... This ruu is for that WHL... What variant do have
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XxpikaachuuxX:
I got the Sprint M7_WLS Variant.

Can i S Iff and flash the ruu? If the hardwares the same it should work right?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Wrong :)

WHL is the M8 n00b.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
This is the correct RUU for you to use.

You need to make sure you hboot matches with the hboot in the RUU...1.60 I believe.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Lol thats what I get haha but I missed the 7 was rushing with my reply. Boss was walking over to my desk [emoji12] but thanks at least someone is paying attention

Update the firmware from this post for upgrading hboot?

Is there any way to make a flashable ROM from the RUU? I want to upgrade to 6.23, but there aren't any stock ROMs available and and I don't want to wipe my phone's data. Can anyone pitch in?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] biker57:
After a full firmware update the OS shows 6.16.651.2 (6.23.651.6). My question is it correct that the 6.23.651.6 is in parentheses? The hboot updated correctly to 1.61.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
OS won't change unless you flash a 6.23.651.6 rom
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] phillip1953:
I think you have to use "fastboot" in order to get your correct firmware version, but I could be wrong. I did the same (flashed the modified firmware). My "about..." says I'm still at .2, but fastboot says I'm at .6.

What I'm wondering is why my phone keeps telling me there's an update available. WHY??? :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Hi, I sent in my phone for an rma and I received it with S-on obviously. The Hboot is 1.56. The Os is 4.06.651.4. I want to s off with rumrunner but it gives me "cannot check for updates" error and exits. My antivirus and firewall are disabled. So I thought I'll give up on S off and update to the latest firmware and flash viper rom. So I relocked the bootloader and tried flashing this firmware, the full version, and I get signature verification failed.

Can someone help, hopefully to get S off, but at least to be able to update to latest firmware so I can flash viper rom?

Thanks! It's really appreciated!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Firewater works with your setup.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Rumrunner stopped working for newer hboots, and firewater is server based - it was shut down because people were accusing the developers of purposely sabotaging the software in order to boost sales of Sunshine. Now, Sunshine is your only option, and though it commands a $25 fee, it usually works everytime, hassle free. I do believe you get your money back if it fails.

Alright guys I am having an odd issue.

I downloaded the lates RUU to restore default as I am selling my device and when I launch the .exe it'll open up but when I click accept it disappears.

I am on windows 7 pro 64 bit now was on windows 10 RT it worked before and after, the pc detects the phone in cmd, but .exe just doesn't want to run.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Probably not. I s-offed my wife's phone long ago with firewater. Never looked back at the availability of firewater. Sorry dudes and ladies. You may be out of luck now a days absent money.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Thanks for the replies! But, shouldn't rum runner work up to Hboot 1.57? I have 1.56. Is there any way to fix the couldn't check for updates error? I wish I could just remove that requirement to check for updates.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
After getting the try again after 30 seconds and pray message from rumrunner three times already, and after spending way too much time on it, I officially give up :)

Now, I need to update to this firmware in order to use the latest lollipop Roms. So, since I'm still s-on I need the full version, correct? However, I still get the signature verification failed message in fast boot.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
I tried everything under the sun to get s-off with my hboot1.57 but no avail (all methods mentioned in forums).

I also tried everything under the sun to update my firmware(tried both full/modified) but had no luck so

as a last resort I used the latest RUU 6.23... and I was able to update my firmware.

All the best 2 u!!!

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

Same happened to me on my windows8.1 machine, I had everything installed but no avail.

Tried my cousin's laptop with windows7 no avail same thing happened.

I tried another cousin's laptop with windows7 and it worked, totally no logical explanation to why

it failed on one win7 machine and worked on another even though I used the same files and method

every single time.

So I will suggest you try different computers/laptops until it works on one.

Yes i had HTC software installed on all of the machines, my phone was recognized in fastboot etc etc.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Thanks for the reply. I tried running the ruu twice and it hangs by 3%, parsing the header file. I relocked the bootloader. Now what? :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
Since you mentioned you relocked your bootloader in the end I have to ask, did you try

running the RUU after Relocking your bootloader?

Also make sure your latest RUU download is not corrupt

MDM 5 CheckSums for 6.23 RUU

E92BB46798BDE29626545B7A710C105F

I used my checkSum software to generate one, my 6.23 RUU had worked!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Yes, I tried after locking, and the md5 matches....

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mahalocat:
Im in a similar boat. Gets all the way through the RUU green bar Not quite to the end but command line says OKAY

Try reboot and I get a white screen green HTC bootloop

I tried relocking...samething...

:(
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Yeah, I ran the 4.06.651.4 RUU and that worked. Tried running the new 6.23 RUU afterward. No go. Stuck by 3%, checking header. Tried flashing the firmware version, same error, FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail).

Does anyone have any ideas? I would really like to use new Lollipop Roms but I'm stuck on the old firmware version...

Thanks for everyone's help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Have you tried installing HTC Sync Manager?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
No. I never ever installed it. Due to always being warned not to have it for s off etc. I never knew it could help for these things. I guess I'll try installing it. What should i do once it's installed?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Only reason to install it is because it has drivers, you can uninstall once the drivers are installed
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Ok. Now it's stuck on Sending.. Step 0/5

Edit: Closed it and tried again. Now it's stuck on Checking Header again. It's so odd. Why would this happen? I ran the old RUU before, so it's fully stock. Why wouldn't it be able to update? I wish all the OEMs would stop with their stupid "security" checks and s-on.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Might have to update your firmware first...I've noticed the last few RUU's require the hboots to match in order to run correctly.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Flash the modified firmware that matches the RUU then run ruu again. [emoji41]
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mahalocat:
OK - I think I see my issue -

I am fastboot flashing the Firmware only the Stock Rom has been removed.

Can it be put back in? my internal data is wiped, so need a full RUU to recover.

Problem 2 - only Ubuntu machines here...no windows...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mahalocat:
So im figuring out more - I need the encrypted ROM zip from the latest RUU?

Anyone have a link?

THANKS!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
But I get the security verification failed 12 on the full firmware. I'll try the modified firmware, I thought it only works if you're S-off...

Thanks!

Edit: Get the same error. FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Okay let me start over just so I can understand your situation. So you have Sprint M7.... Is your bootloader unlocked or locked? Are you s-on or s-off?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
I git it back from an RMA. So it was s-on. Unlocked the bootloader so I could try s-offing. Rumrunner gave me try again in 30 seconds and pray three times in a row. So I gave up on that. I relocked the bootloader and tried updating the firmware. Got the verification error. Tried the RUU. Got stuck by checking header. Ran the os 4.0 something RUU. That worked. But still can't update or run later RUU
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
What software did it have to begin with and what software does it have right now
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
The Hboot is 1.56. The Os is 4.06.651.4. That's how I got and that's where it still is.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Okay in that case try flashing full firmware zip for 5.03.651.3 see if you get an error
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
OK. Tried it. Still the same error. I also tried running every RUU from the latest until the one that I'm on. And they all get stuck by checking header...

Thanks for all the help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Is there a error code?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
When flashing the firmware files I get the FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail) error. When running the RUUs it just gets stuck for good without any progress. No messages. I close it on task manager and issue a reboot command on fast boot to get the phone out of RUU mode.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
And that remote: 12 signature verify fail error happens when you flash the full firmware zip and the modified zip hmm sounds like a bootloader issue I believe. And since you are S-on you should only be able to flash the full firmware zip. I could be mistaken. I think it's fixable just a bit busy to think of options.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
OK. Thanks for the help anyways. I appreciate it!

Its such an odd issue. I guess if I would have s-off I wouldn't have this issue...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Well you still have Sunshine S-off that you can try. I have used that one all my htc devices m7, two m8's and a m9. All worked flawless. So you can see if that works.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
Yeah, I suppose i try that. Just that I'm not sure if I'm ready to spend $25 on this phone at this point. I'll probably upgrade in the next few months.

I just really want to be able to use the latest lollipop Roms and it's so odd that I'm having such issues just updating a stock device...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
I hear you on that. But definitely worth it. Also if and when you upgrade you should immediately do S-off
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mahalocat:
Anyone have the Full Encrypted Rom .zip from the last RUU?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
So ridiculous. Now my phone is stuck by activation. Downloaded a stock rom and doesn't boot up. RUU doesn't work still. I'll try the old ruu. Activate, then update...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Seems like you are having some extremely bad luck. I would try a modified firmware zip first. Like a 6.23.651.3 modified firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
I ran the old RUU and activated my device. So now my device is activated, but the setup wizard thinks it's not, so it waits for hands free activation, but it never turns on because it's activated already, so I can't continue with setup...

I probably need to remove the sprint stuff and then after setup, copy them back. Thing is, I don't know what and where. I'll ask in the Rom forum.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Honestly I think your best option is do ruu get the device up to date with all firmware... Activate with full stock. Once thats done then go flash a custom rom. Removing files want help your situation...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
I tried running the latest ruu. It still got stuck by checking header. Looks like S-off didn't help for that. I was able to flash the latest modified firmware though.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Something you may or may not be doing right.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
I really dont think so. Is there a way to disable the setup wizard that comes up on first boot? Because that's what I need to bypass in order to use my phone. Because it is actually activated. On Sprint self service it shows as activated. Just the setup waits for activation to end, but it never even starts since it is activated already. And you can't skip it. So it just waits there forever.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Unfortunately I can't help you there need to talk with rom dev for that. I'm just troubleshooter and rom tester/abuser lol
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] yelped:
I got it to work! Flashed full firmware, then was able to flash RUU, passed the setup. Then unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, flashed ViperRom without wiping data and it skipped the whole setup.

Thanks again for all your help!

Firmware update on a S-ON device.

ok, I just got a M7 replacement with the hboot 1.60 :( with lollipop firmware 6.16.561.2, tried OMJ's room and everything went nice, but now i want to try ViperOne 8 and I got the muted audio on calls, the rom's developer suggested that could be related to an incomplete updated firmware, so the question would be (my first time working with an s-on device) can I do a firmware update and then restore the rom? I looked but didn't find anything related to my specific issue. thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Jaxp3r:
Long overdue thanks. Not sure why Rumrunner didn't work before but I had some time today and gave it another go. Worked great!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] miggsr:
Best recommendation is get S-off first then ruu and take all OTA updates to the most current. Or use the most current ruu and then check for more otas . Then try flashing the rom you tried

I've been away from updating and working with ROMS for awhile, and unlike riding a bike, the procedures seem to flee memory pretty quickly. :(

Currently S-OFF, unlocked, HBOOT 1.56.0000, 4.06.651.4 stock ROM, rooted, Teamwin 2.7.0.1 recovery. The phone wants to take 4.06.651.9 OTA (and has been for a long while now).

Could someone list the basic steps for the best way to get to this latest stock ROM, unlocked, S-OFF, rooted, with a Teamwin recovery? What will get wiped out in the process? Do I need to do intermediate ROM updates between where I am now and the latest? Can I just install this latest RUU and then flash a recovery from fastboot, or will there be issues with locking/unlocking and HBOOT? When I last did this, Teamwin recovery automatically rooted and installed SuperSU for me.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slyest12:
If you've downloaded the fastboot flashable RUU, use the same commands in the op, except add ./ before you type fast boot (i.e. ./fastboot flash zip RUU.zip). If you've not renamed the file, you can type the fastboot command and then drag and drop the file to Terminal. It's been a while since I used my Mac for that, but I think that's what you're looking for.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Smac7:
Is there a way to flash the whole ruu on a mac? The instructions in the op use an .exe to do the update. I already know how to flash the firmware portion but I want to return to stock with the newest software.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slyest12:
Hmm. I read somewhere you couldn't run an RUU on a Mac just recently. Possibly due to the .exe command. Google is your friend, I would take a look there.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] @CallMe_Y_C:
i have the same issue ... can someone help us please?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Devilish_Angel:
... Well to both of you, there are two ways to be latest. One is latest ruu which will leave nothin on your phone but will update everything (hboot, firmware, stock recovery and rom). And then you can flash custom recovery and root it if you want but thats optional.

Second is to flash latest custom recovery, flash latest stock rooted rom, flash latest firmware . This will not wipe anything but clean flash is highly recommended.

Team win can easily root and install super user.

Best of luck ...
