sorry mate, my bad! The correct command is "fastboot oem lock" not "fastboot oem relock"

[MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]:

So quick recap:

1) use the fastboot oem lock command

2) install the RUU.exe that you linked to me (I have it downloaded) on a Windows 7 computer (which I have)

3) then everything should be good to go and I can sell to my friend

Question:

Do I need to have HTC Sync Manager and/or USB drivers installed on the Windows 7 computer for the above process to work?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
yes you need the drivers, but better to have htc sync uninstalled
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTR01:
Great, thanks for that clarification. I'll update you when I get a chance to run through the steps!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTR01:
[MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]:

I don't think that the M7 is communicating with the computer/adb based on the screen shot attached and that after typing in the command to lock the bootloader, it keeps waiting for device.

Thoughts?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
driver installed incorrectly? Is the phone listed in windows device manager when booted in bootloader?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTR01:
[MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]:

Yeah, the drivers installed just fine.

However, I actually just showed my friend the phone with CM10 on it and told him the pros/cons and he was just fine with everything since he just wanted a phone that would work and not freeze/lag like his current phone does.

So thank you for your help and the situation has been solved!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MFOsaka:
I've been running about the HTC One International & Verizon boards the past couple of days and it's AMAZING at the development that is still being done for our phone. New ROMS, motion gestures and more. And then I look at our forums. The devs that are still here are kicking butt, but due to the carrier and HTC, we haven't much. It's a little sad, but what can you do?

What's everyone's thoughts on this?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BiGsMiLeSKyLe:
I hear ya man, but this is all Sprint's doing. I had to give up a launch device since the usb port was messed up so I go into an official Sprint store to get it replaced. Ok apparently Sprint is doing away with their Service Departments over here in NYC, since I had to take a trip to an official store to get this done. I choose not to go to a non-official since most of the times I've been to one they complained about me being rooted. So I go back to the store which I have to call to confirm my phone is in. One of the store people helped me by giving me a phone that a) the speakerphone microphone was not working and b) giving me a phone that was linked to a different persons account. I then had to take off of work and get this resolved the next day in which they gave me a "un-opened" M7 which the camera was horrible at night, purple tint and graph paper lines all over. I now had to go back again to a Sprint store to get another replacement. So now on phone 4 which screen is kind of wonky with taking night time pics suffering from purple tint and weird almost burn marks on the screen.

Honestly Sprint gave up on it's loyalty to it's customer's, their service is outright atrocious (both customer service and their wireless service). I had to wait about an hour in the store so that my phone would initialize and connect to Sprint since even in the official store the service sucked. I wished that the new CEO would actually pay more attention to the service then going after the price. Dear new CEO, people are not jumping ship because they can save a buck or two, they are jumping ship since they cannot even utilize the "unlimited" data. I hope the customers and developers that are faithful still put out quality of work with their roms.

Good job to those M7SPR developers, but I won't blame you if you leave Sprint and thus this device.

sweet thank you!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] t5620:
you are welcome.

Remember that for the ruu to work you need to relock the bootloader and have stock recovery. and unroot. it works with S-OFF so no need to S-ON
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Andrew149:
Umm I've never needed to lock my boot loader with s off to ruu 4.4.2. Are you sure?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
Bootloader lock only needed for s-on.

Wow, same day RUU as the OTA? Unbelievable!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] t5620:
I'm not 100% sure.. but ,I always re-lock the bootloader just in case
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] iArtisan:
How can I install this with S-on? Couldn't get S-off because firewater is broken for me.

My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. How can I lock the bootloader without S-off?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] t5620:
you could try Sunshine to get S-OFF it cost $25 dollars but it can S-OFF your device.

But I think that you do not need to be s-off to run the RUU, if you want to easily relock the bootloader use tthe HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2699065 its the easiest way

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lostangelintx:
I have my phone set up like I want it. Stable, everything works. Running 4.4.2 rooted, unlocked, twrp recovery, etc. All the apps I want. So on and so forth.

Will nandroid backup made now work after I run this ruu? Basically update the os and then recover everything the way I have it set up now?

Sorry for asking what seems, even to me, a basic beginners question.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] scott500:
Question

In short...No. First off, you can't install the 4.4.3 update if you have a TWRP recovery installed. You have to have the stock recovery in order to do the update. But...for the sake of argument, you did the update and...then re-rooted and restored your nandroid. You would in effect overwrite the update and put yourself back to where you started (if that makes any sense).

My advice would be to install a custom ROM that containes the 4.4.3 update already...or put a stock recovery back on your phone and do the update. There is a nice all-in-one update you can run right off the sdcard using Hboot. I did it and it was flawless.

Either way, you'll most likely be setting up your phone again but that really shouldn't be too bad. Take some screenshots so you will remember just how you had things.

Hope this helps and good luck.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hack14u:
I have to ask, if you went through all that trouble, why would you ever want to run ATT software? You could have easily converted to Dev Edition and never looked back.

stock recovery for RUU ?

Doesn't the Update Utility install the stock recovery ? Every HTC RUU that I've ever used writes the stock recovery over the custom one.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] scott500:
Yes...you just can't install the OTA update with a custom recovery, For that, you would have to flash a stock recocery first.

Hey quick question guys. I have att m8 with software version 1.58.502.1. I'm tired of waiting for the OTA to come back so i can update to 4.4.3 and get the updated firmware to run ARHD 11.1. If I run the ruu will that give me the updated FW and update everything JUST like if i did the OTA?

My phone is fresh out the box. Havent tried unlocking the bootloader or rooting. Waiting for the OTA or if the ruu will work I'll just use that.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] deafvocalist:
now moodedm

I tried doing the ruu but it keeps closing on me after i accept the term and conditions. Also tried with the one from the HTC website and the same thing happens with that. I also ran the file as a admin. Any ideas on what to do?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] joho5:
Notice alot of folks mentioning having to have stock recovery...well this being the ruu... That isn't correct is it? The ruu will write stock recovery right?

I have tried on windows 7 and windows 8.1. I installed htc sync on both computers. Its just really weird that i cant run the ruu. I have s-on...would that be a problem? i dont think it would...I havent even got passed terms and agreement lol
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:

yeah the compters dont have antivirus...man i wish they would just work lol. the bootloader has never been unlocked. Its just plain stock unmolested phone i was trying to get 4.4.3 on so i can have the latest FW the right way to install ARHD 11.1. I can just flash the rom but there is problems that people have run into for not having the updated FW.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tommy_riley:
Use the HTC all-in-one app posted earlier in this thread to ensure adb communication to your phone is working. You should be able to get to a command prompt and try simple fastboot commands. If communication isn't successful then its a driver issue.

Also on windows 8 if u have USB 3.0 port only replace the Microsoft USB drivers with Intel drivers (provided you have an Intel chipset) to ensure communication with HTC one device in fastboot mode. This is a common problem with USB 3.0 drivers and HTC devices.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Then unlock boot loader and go soff then it diesnt matter either way,and there are roms mire tailored to att device/network than arhd...just sayin..

ok ive tried TURNING off UAC in windows, made sure adb and fastboot were working and everything....but STILL nothing. Thinking of just flashing a rom with 4.4.3. It shouldnt give me any problems because of the firmware right? I used to flash roms on my old htc one x but had an iphone since then. came back to andriod and was just gonna flash ARHD 11.1 until i saw the warning about flashing without being on the new firm ware.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
If you have S-off, yes.

But also keep in mind that the AT&T RUU is full of their bloat, branding and also blocked features, "compliments" of AT&T. WiFi hotspot and tethering in particular will be broken if you try to use the phone (after RUU) on a non-AT&T carrier.

Also, it will install the AT&T version radio, which may or may not play well with your local network (assuming its not AT&T).

I don't want to hijack the thread but im helping someone out and i need the latest OTA for the AT&T M8. I have looked everywhere and im just not finding it. Im on sprint and im not sure what the latest id for AT&T. All i'm finding is the RUU and he doesnt want to go that route. So if someone could point me to the OTA it would much appreciated. Oh yeah he is s-on so we need the unmodified full firmware zip.. I know on the sprint model we can flash the full untouched fw and can you do the same on the att model?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
That is the Dev Edition OTA, not the AT&T OTA.

I don't recall anyone ever posting the 2.23 OTA file, at least on XDA. It was quickly pulled due to battery drain issues experienced by some folks. Wonders_Never_Cease asked for the OTA on the following thread, but nobody every uploaded it: http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/htc-m8-4-4-3-official-ota-t2860139

Your friend's best best really is to RUU (does not suffer the battery drain issue) or wait for the 4.4.4 OTA, which should roll out very soon (strongly rumored as mid-November, so it can be any time now).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] c5satellite2:
You don't want the 4.4.3 OTA, it will need a factory reset afterwards to fix the battery drain and texting issues anyway. Just go the RUU route, no issues to report. Or wait a week or two, ATT is releasing 4.4.4 with VoLTE very soon.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jae2014:

A noob here, wanna ask some questions, my device is unlocked, will updating it with ruu lock the device? will ruu erase my phone's data? and finally will i lose the ability to update? ( OTA )?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tommy_riley:
If s-off, you do not need to relock, if s-on you need to relock first.

RUU will erase all data on phone - fresh out of box experience. But SD card will not be erased.

An RUU is a factory/carrier image, so you will be able to take/receive OTA's if you use an RUU on your device

Thanks. s-on here sadly
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tommy_riley:
Once you get drivers installed on your PC to communicate with the phone (which you need to run the RUU anyway), its a simple adb command to relock. After you install via RUU you can reuse the unlock token the first time the device was unlocked to re-unlock and flash twrp and install super su and you'll be all rooted and unlocked again...

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Probably okay to unplug the phone. You may have a USB connectivity issue (fairly common on HTC devices).

If familiar with fastboot/adb, try the commands:

adb devices

or

fastboot devices

Both should return your device ID. If the command prompt hangs saying 'waiting for device' you have a connectivity issue.

You can try different USB ports, different cables, although drivers is often the issue. Try to re-install HTC Sync. Or unintall Sync and HTC drivers, and just manually install generic Android drivers via Windows Device Manager. USB 3.0 also does not play well with the RUU.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DyNamix_:
FIXED!! thankyou redpoint, but the problem wasn't with the drivers as i checked, I turned off my antivirus & firewall, closed every running program, unpluged the cable from the device and re pluged it, ran the ruu ( AS ADMINSTRATOR ) and the update ran flawless, hope this helps anyone who get's the same problem , sorry for my bad english

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] RBrown1093:
Is that process done if the device itself is bricked? I done something wrong, and when I cut my phone on all I get is the htc screen and nothing more. I then connect my phone to my laptop and perform an ad reboot bootloader to try and start somewhere but I have no internal data or data period. I can't even find a rom to flash or anything. I tried adb sideload and that didn't work. If you are familiar with this can you please help? I have no operating system to operate this phone, and it's very nerve wrecking not knowing what happened, so I can fix it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Uncle Irish:
If you can get your phone into fastboot, then yes, this 'should' save your butt. Boot to your bootloader, connect the USB cable to your phone, then your computer. Phone should go into Fastboot USB mode. Now run the RUU as administrator (right click>run as administrator) and let it load. It will take a minute. FOllow the prompts and it should install the factory rom. You'll need to relock the bootloader for it to run properly. Hope this helps and your phone gets back to normal
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Your phone isn't bricked. A true brick is only recoverable if you open up the phone (JTAG, replace motherboard, etc.).

As long as the screen of the phone comes on, and you can connect fastboot, the RUU should work (as the previous response states).

Data not mounting can sometimes be fixed simply by updating recovery. If that works, you can then try adb sideload again. Or adb push the ROM to the phone (more reliable than sideload in my experience) or just put a ROM on SD with a USB card reader connected to your PC.

Otherwise, yes RUU will get your phone straightened out. You will need to recock the bootloader if s-on.
