Many thanks on the link and info. I followed the instructions but got the following fail message

(bootloader) signature checking...
FAIL12 signature verify fail
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

From my understanding this means there are issues with my bootloader version which is 1.61.0000. Is there anyway to change this, or an alternative file that corresponds with my hboot version?

Cheers

Is your bootloader still unlocked? It smust locked or relocked to flash the RUU.

Really strange, maybe a problem with the RUU. Maybe you could try the 7.19.980.5 RUU but you'll first need to downgrade your version-main to 7.19.980.5 since your phone is S-ON. You can find the RUU and instruction how to downgrade here
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurewren:
Does it matter that the RUU linked above is 7.21.980.5 rather than 7.19.980.5? And, does having a twrp recovery image installed matter, or do I need to reflash that back to a stock img?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The RUU linked is 7.19.980.5 not 7.21.980.5.

7.21.980.5 doesn't exist

edit:

The recovery isn't a problem when flashing the RUU since it will be overwriten with the stock one but it is not advised to relock the bootloader with a custom recovery installed simply because unlocking the bootloader requires the stock recovery. Lets say the RUU flash fails then you'll have issue unlocking again. So better to flash a stock recovery before relocking for that reason.

Uhhh.. ummm..

The link to the file in the forum post says 7.19.980.5, but the file itself on MEGA is named PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Optus_AU_7.21.980.5_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_425296_signed.zip so maybe I am presuming the file is 7.21.980.5 rather than 7.19.980.5. Either way, as my previous post, it still doesn't work and I'm still getting a signature verify error. :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
So just to be sure, your bootloader was relocked (not unlocked) and your phone was booted in RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU ---> rebooted to a black screen) before trying "htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" ?

Yep you are right, sorry for the confusion.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurewren:
Yep, double checked all that... after a day of working on this, my husband is beginning to twitch every time he hears the HTC boot tune. I just have a permanent eye twitch. ;)

Phew!! :p
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Its really strange because both RUU are supposed to be official RUU (signed with HTC's key). To flash a RUU on a S-ON phone:

The bootloader must be locked or re-locked ---> Done

The RUU version must be same or newer than your version-main ---> Done

The RUU must match your MID and CID numbers ---> From your "getvar all" it looks fine

The RUU must be encrypted with HTC private key (signed) ---> Both RUU are supposed to be signed (file name ending with "signed.zip")

So imo either the RUU are bad or there is something wrong with your bootloader

What I could do (eventually in the next few days) is to flash the RUU on my S-OFF phone. It should work on mine since it won't check the file signature at all. Then I'll make a TWRP backup of the stock 7.21.980.22 OS and upload it to you. You should be able to restore the backup on your phone using twrp recovery and then reflash the stock recovery over twrp so you can install 2 last ota updates (980.30 and 980.51) . Meanwhile you could re-unlock the bootloader, reflash twrp recovery, flash a close-to-stock custom rom like ARHD 93 so you'll be able to use your phone.

The other option is to achieve s-off on your phone so it doesn't check the file signature anymore. Unfortunately the only way to achieve S-OFF on your hboot version is with the Sunshine app that cost 25$ to use... But even with S-OFF we are not sure if it will flash fine so you might prefer option #1.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurewren:
Many thanks in advance for that.

Luckily enough this phone isn't urgently needed as I have recently got myself a Samsung Galaxy S7. I just want it upgraded my HTC to the latest stock OS before I pass it over to my son to use to replace his old HTC One SV.

I have been considering going S-OFF but I am wary of the cost.. if option #1 doesn't work, then I can look at that option.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Good, I'll contact you in a few days (probably in 4-5 days) to give you the TWRP backup and instructions how to restore it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
[MENTION=7420365]Azurewren[/MENTION]

You can download the TWRP backup from here

Its made using twrp version 3.0.M2-0univ, better to use the same version to restore the backup.

So go ahead and flash it:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.M2-0-m7univ.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now to restore the backup, you first need to make a dummy backup to generate twrp's backup path on your phone: Boot in twrp recovery then go in "Backup", select the "Boot" partition only and then "Swipe to Backup".

Once done go back to the main menu and using twrp file manager or from you computer go in twrp's backup folder (TWRP/BACKUPS/Your Serial Number/Backup date/) and delete all the files there (these are all the files from the boot backup). Once deleted, extract all the files from the backup linked above and move them to TWRP/BACKUPS/Your Serial Number/Backup date/All files here. Now that the backups files are on your phone, select the "Restore" menu, then select the backup folder (date of backup), select all partitions available and swipe to restore.

When the backup is restored, I would recommend to flash this radio file so your phone is on the correct and latest radio version (Ive seen on your getvar all that your phone isn't using the right radio version). To flash the radio, save the file at the root of your phone storage (/sdcard) and from twrp select "install" and then select he radio file.

Reboot the phone in the OS and check if everything is fine (the first boot can take longer than usual, will hang at the white htc splash screen for a few minutes). If everything is fine then you can flash the 7.21.980.22 stock recovery so you can install 2 more ota updates.

If you want to reset your phone 100% stock, this ruu its compatible: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059566

FYI, it must be flashed using htc_fastboot.exe not the regular fastboot.exe. There is a link in my signature to a ruu thread, there are instructions how to flash at post #1 of that thread if needed.

If your imei/baseband issue is still present after a successfull ruu installation, it might be an hardware issue (I.e the modem chip).

The ruu restore all partions back to stock so that should fix every software problems if any.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] RaphaDL:
Guys, there's something strange happening with my Note 4.

I live in Brazil and here we only received the Lollipop update (BOC3) later last week. For the propose of further questions: I never rooted or modified my phone, It's a SM-N910C.

The thing is, after the update I found some issues with my phone. Same old problems people keep complaining about. My Antutu score droped from 50k to 38k, my Geekbench score was lower too, and performance in general was worse, really worse, perceptibly. I was about to flash the BOC5 ROM from another country 'cause some users claim that this version solves some problems, but them I saw some users with the BOC5 and the same old performance problems. I gave up the flash and while surfing through the settings I found one feature I've never used before, the "Active Knox Protection". It's located between Security options.

After activating that option the system asked me to do a reboot, I did and voila! The performance of my Note 4 was back to what it should always be. My antutu score is again 50k, and the system is faster in general. I thought it might be just a coincidence, but turns out that turning off that option made my phone go back to the "bug" state.

So that's my tip for those who doesn't have root and are facing this GPU bug in lollipop. Would be awesome if you guys could reproduce the procedure and post your results.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ManDone.vRs:
download boc3 firmware , make a full wipe , and flash it again on your device ... my brother had this problem too , after a full wipe and clean install , everything is okay now ! Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RaphaDL:
Actually I tried. Before I do the official OTA update here in Brazil I tried the BOC3 that was released for some other country and I had all the bugs with it. I did a full wipe before and after the flash with no help them I downgraded to Kitkat and waited for the OTA update, which did not much for me as well.

Strange enough the only thing that solved my problem was activating the knox active protection.

Usually I get GPU bug whenever my device heats up, but I guess this trick worked for me. I'll try to monitor if the bug acts up again.

Edit: Sad to say, but the GPU bug was still there even after knox protection was enabled. I noticed the GPU starts to slow down whenever the CPU hits 50 degree celcius.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] willcor:
hi ,

my guess is why your device is slowing down is that Samsung..... Touchwiz "DVFS" (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency scaling) kicks in and it is normal and is not a" bug " .This happens whenever your device heats( CPU/GPU ) up and kicks in at a certain tempature .( eg playing certain intense games etc ..etc) This is a safety feature from Samsung .On Android v 4.4.4 You can disable it ,but i personnaly would not recommend it ( I have done it in past ,when on Android v4.4.4) Xposed framework / DVFS Disabler module by dev @ wanam

Xposed framework does not yet , ( as far as i know ) work on Samsung devices (Lollipop )

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Salim.Keady:
This is out of logic... why ?

Because enabling protection will have a new service running all the time which should degrade performance and consume battery ?

But if activating knox improves performance ... it might be a plan from samsung to encourage people not to root ....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
it probably workaround some bug its all. it definetly wont boost performance
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Yes. It doesn't make sense that another process running would increase performance and increase battery life. Would Samsung really do that to discourage rooting? I would maybe guess that the results people might be seeing are placebo.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
It could be that the default architecture favors Knox on, and that when It's off it has to read it as off to bypass every time it executes a function.

However, my benchmark is consistently worse.
