[Q] convert HTC One 4.2.2/Sense5 to Google Edition - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

now that I have re-experienced the Nexus experience with my new Nexus7/2013 I wanted to "quickly" convert my stock HTC One to Google Edition to have a more similar experience on both my prefered gadgets. but I can't get pass the first pass... I seem to be stuck thanks to HBOOT 1.54 not allowing me to switch to S-OFF, one of the requirements as I read.
So what do I have: stock HTC One 4.2.2 OTA with in bootloader showing me:
*** TAMPERED *** (no clue why it says this, did not try loading/running anything other then Revone and moonshine, without any luck by the way)
*** UNLOCKED *** (I got this via the official HTCDEV-route)

BIG QUESTION:
do I need to wait before there's an easy way to switch to S-OFF with HBOOT-1.54 or do I have other options to turn my HTC One into a Google Edition?

Hello.
Your bootloader is unlocked, so S-OFF or S-ON is not that important (though you cannot downgrade the hboot with S-ON, so you are stuck on 1.54 untill a tool for S-OFF on HBOOT 1.54 is made - im in the same situation by the way).
1. Flash custom recovery (TWRP or CWM)
2. Install a custom rom (im running with this one, based on android 4.3, GE (Google Edition) of Android.
3. Done
EDIT: No, S-OFF is not required, unless you want to flash CUSTOM firmwares or a few other things. Custom rom and custom recovery is doable as long as your bootloader is unlocked.
Kind Regards

If you will get OTA you mush have S-OFF for convert.
ATM you can only flash a custom rom GE Based

This is good if he will only have the GE rom, if he will do a fully convert he need the s-off

Couldnt he flash the stock GE rom as a zip? Why is S-OFF needed? Because it must come as a RUU?
And thank you for the assistance in my earlier thread! :good: Recognized the sig instantly!

I think if your at 1.54 you can't s-off without some decent work. Have you tried some of the GE ROM's? I've been using the SinLessROM 4.1 GE and its better then stock GE if you ask me. Good luck with whatever path you take.

S-OFF is not avail for 1.54. Not without java-card and and only proof is a YT video - no tools: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF1CxtbPhV4

Thanks all for these clear and quick responses!
I would prefer the full monty: having an OTA updateable Google Edition
but for now a (as little as possible customized) GE-ROM will do fine
Which ROM can I flash, and what's the best way to do so?

He was talking about a GE Rom with OTA...

sorry, im tired..

I did it!
Only choose the wrong ROM, now I have that stupid menubutton (3dots) back at the bottom... Tomorrow I'll flash another ROM. Getting the hang of it now. Only pain is always that reinstalling of Apps and settings

Backup apps and settings with titanium backup. For the 3 dot menu there is an xposed mod for that. Note that installing xposed on the HTC one is different than usually, due to the system partition being protected in some way (changes are lost on reboot).

[H] Flashing a stock rom ruu from s-off device

Hello everyone, I have a HTC One and is currently as follows:
*** LOCKED ***
M7_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH (I USE REVONE TO GET S-OFF AND WRITE SUPERCID VIA COMMAND)
CID-11111111
HBOOT-1.54.0000

OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617
OS-3.06.1700.10
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Ok, i want to go back to stock with any RUU since I'm S-OFF. But once i'm at stock 4.3 i will lose S-OFF and Root? And If i want to flash a custom rom back, i need to flash cwm or twrp first and then choose rom from install zip from sd or just restore backup?
If i go S-ON i can get S-OFF again with my currently HBOOT? and new HBOOT too 1.55 ?
THANK´S !!!
I have the same question.. Will I lose s-off after flashing a 4.3 RUU zip/exe?

You won't lose S Off . Doesn't matter what Rom or Ruu you use with regards to S Off , only way to "loose" S Off is by write secure command.
So go ahead, you will retain S Off .

1- relocking was not the wisest decision, better unlock again
2- to install custom rom, you only need unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. S-Off is NOT needed
3- to get s-off on hboot 1.55, use http://rumrunner.us/ (with compatible ROM, I think ARHD 31.6 should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023)

use latest TWRP (2.6.3.3 or above), i believe CWM hasn't been updated for 4.4 ROMs yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
verify MD5 of twrp before flashing!!
TWRP should work, maybe need to format. I always use the HTC One Developer Edition RUU zip that can be found on HTC Dev site as well as the numerous threads around XDA.

actually thats better than getting OTA
just download a custom rom like ViperOne or ARHD or InsertCoin and
copy it to your downloads folder
reboot your phone and hold volume down and it will enter the bootloader. go into recovery from here and wipe/factory reset and install the rom you copied to the phone. 10x better than waiting on OTA update
Edit: When rebooting the phone you may have a menu with the choice of booting recovery ..choose that

[Q] All roms going into boot loop

Hey guys been going at this for about 14 hours
Story
flashed amazing android hd 3.1 thinking i had 5.1, when i realized that, i downloaded 5.1 and flashed it. Seemed to work except as soon as phone began to boot i got a pink screen followed by the htc and beats audio screen (logos were different colors) at this point it wouldn't do anything else.
I rebooted and went in recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and wiped cache, tried re flashing and same thing so i went in twrp (im a nweb haven't done this since i had my hero) formatted the data. Yes everything was gone no OS to boot from so i tried using sideloader but it wouldnt go past start up process i resorted to using adb, i pushed the amazing android 3.1 rom and flashed it. everything seemed to go fine. Seemed to boot, when i went to unlock the screen to set the phone up it just rebooted, it kept doing that over and over. Installed insert coin rom and did the same thing. idk what else to do :/ tried loading stock ruu but it gave me a fail message (cant remember what it was)
I never made any back ups as i didnt care about losing any data
Would appreciate some help guys
Im on mac and windows 7

thanks, im about to give it a shot
good morning lol
ok since im on s-on 4.06 do i skip this?
If you are S-OFF flash the 3.04 s-off firmware or 3.05 s-off firmware or 3.05.651.6 s-off firmware or 4.06.651.4 s-off firmware and you are done. If you are already on 4.06.651.4 you will have to flash the 3.05.651.6 s-off firmware first...reason being is the 4.06 s-off firmware does not have the latest radio included (use the same commands from 5.)
1.Download the 3.04 s-on firmware or 3.05 s-on firmware or 3.05.651.6 s-on firmware or 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware
2.Rename it firmware.zip (put the firmware.zip into the platform tools folder or the folder attached below)
3.Boot to bootloader
4.Lock bootloader(fastboot oem lock)
5.Then use these commands:
and go straight to this?
7.Then unlock the bootloader again and re-flash TWRP 2.6.3.0. (before formatting go to setting/screen and disable screen timeout)
8.Within TWRP 2.6.3.0 select Wipe > Format Data(it will ask you to confirm by typing YES) once done adb push a rom to your phone (adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/ ).
8a. If you are using the 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware I would suggest you push this Stock Rooted Odexed Rom to your device or it may not boot.
8b. After flashing the 4.06.651.4 rom you will most likely need to flash the latest radio because the 4.06 firmware does not have a radio included find it HERE
9.Optional but recommended: S-OFF using Rumrunner or Firewater
10.Win lol

[Q] Restore M7 to stock - Q on HBOOT

Hi I need to restore my HTC One M7 European to stock, since I want to return it for repair of the purple tint issue. My question is what HBOOT is now the "official" from HTC Europe, so I can choose the right one.
When I got the phone in summer 2013 I initially just followed the OTA upates. In December I converted to Google GPE to get KitKat faster (and also later got Lolipop). This involved getting S-OFF etc.
Phone info before I converted (December 2013) - had HBOOT 1.55.

Oct 17 2013
Used RumRunner to get S-OFF, change cid etc. and convert to GPE. Then followed OTA updates for a while, including upgrade to Lolipop. Status today:

So I'm actually on a lower HBOOT now than before I did any hacking.
Questinon is - if I had followed the official upgrade cycle would I still be at HBOOT-1.55?
Here's my idea for reverting this phone to stock:
1) Rewrite CID to original
2) Install suitable KitKat RUU
3) Upgrade to HBOOT 1.55 (since this was the original - I'm wondering if I get 1.55 automatically through step #2 though).
4) fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 (in order to return to S-ON)
5) Install OTA updates
Will the phone now be in the same state as if I had not done any hacking? I've also seen people somewhere suggest you need HBOOT-1.44 to get S-ON back. Is that true? If so, can I downgrade to 1.44, put S-ON and then upgrade to 1.55? Also what about the other elements in the list (OpenDSP etc.) will they return to stock via the RUU? The trouble is I have no way to tell what the values would have been if I had not hacked the phone and had just followed official OTA's.
Any help will be much appreciated. I'm a bit confused over HBOOT issues.

So I'm actually on a lower HBOOT now than before I did any hacking.
Questinon is - if I had followed the official upgrade cycle would I still be at HBOOT-1.55?
Here's my idea for reverting this phone to stock:
1) Rewrite CID to original
2) Install suitable KitKat RUU
3) Upgrade to HBOOT 1.55 (since this was the original - I'm wondering if I get 1.55 automatically through step #2 though).
4) fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 (in order to return to S-ON)
5) Install OTA updates
Will the phone now be in the same state as if I had not done any hacking? I've also seen people somewhere suggest you need HBOOT-1.44 to get S-ON back. Is that true? If so, can I downgrade to 1.44, put S-ON and then upgrade to 1.55? Also what about the other elements in the list (OpenDSP etc.) will they return to stock via the RUU? The trouble is I have no way to tell what the values would have been if I had not hacked the phone and had just followed official OTA's.
Any help will be much appreciated. I'm a bit confused over HBOOT issues.

DO NOT GO S-ON EVER !!!
DO NOT RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER (you will never get it unlocked again)
Hboot 1.54 is what all GPe phone's have
Simply change your CID and MID back to what they were and flash a RUU and your back to Sense Firmware with the hboot in that RUU

Hi thanks. I had great troubles using the KitKat RUU. I suspected it was due to incompatibility with HBOOT. Downgraded HBOOT to 1.44, still didn't work. Then instead I used an RUU for Jelly Bean (in fact the original image) and this worked like a charm. Then I've applied a tons of OTA updates and now I'm on HBOOT 1.54. But now I'm stuck because it can't find the 4.19.401.11 update on HTC's server! I guess they have simply removed it and most people aren't bothered because they are way past.
BTW, why would it be a problem to go S-ON? Can't I go S-OFF again using the same method I originally used (using Rumrunner etc.)? Why would this S-ON be more permanent than a factory S-ON? I need to be S-ON to send the phone into service.
