I already rooted my First on 1.05 and want to update to 1.08 since I want to go S-OFF and I saw in that thread it's for 1.08.
I tried the RUU dozens of times on 2 completely different Windows 7 x64 PCs. It sat at the Sending...... step for awhile with the phone on an HTC logo screen, and then ended in Error 155. I also tried booting into FASTBOOT USB and trying it. Same thing. Has anyone got the RUU to work? If so, what's your MD5 hash? Mine is 425MB and I would think it's a good copy since it was able to extract itself into Appdata\Local\Temp folder with no errors.
I saw in the RUU thread there's also just the OTA .zip. It won't install with TWRP. I'd have to flash to stock recovery to install it, but I couldn't find any place to get the stock recovery.
Any solutions?

I have a related problem, after bricking the phone I flashed the RUU and I cannot re unlock the bl again, anyway try to flash cwm instead of twrp and then retry with the Ota.zip. I don't know if this can solve your problem, but I've noticed that with twrp some roms did not work to me. I think also that the RUU does not work with unlocked bl, so you have first to relock, but if you do this you could have the same problem I have, that is you can't re unlock the bl... I am not an expert so I cannot assure you that these procedures are ok...

Thanks, that was the problem; I had to relock the bootloader and then the RUU worked. I was able to re-unlock the bootloader with no problems though. I used the All-In-One kit to do it and reused the Unlock_code.bin that I used on 1.05.

I must be blind, I swear I looked for flashable zips but couldn't find them. Too late since I already flashed the RUU, but hopefully that will help someone else who runs into this issue.

So the kornklown69 theory that also mine is correct, is S-OFF the problem. To re-unlock probably the phone must be S-ON.
So the procedure could be: Relock -> S-ON -> Re-unlock -> S-OFF.
But I don't understand how to obtain S-ON again.
Anyway my phone is Relocked and I can install custom roms, kernels and root it... Very strange!
That makes sense. With my original Droid Incredible, an S-OFF hack came out before HTC official BL unlocking and there was never any reason to unlock it since S-OFF was all you needed to install custom ROMs and root. So if you're S-OFF, there's probably no need to re-unlock it.
Having the same issue. In another thread, jmz said:
In my stock Rom thread there are new files up. They are the ota roms. So if you are running stock, download the odex one ending in 1.08 and flash in recovery, no need to wipe data. Then pull boot.img and fastboot flash it. You now have the ota software. I will post instructions to upgrade the firmware that came with the ota

I know what the odexed rom is, but can someone explain how to get the boot.img and fastboot flash it? Or should I just relock the bootloader?
I have HTC ONE (m7) AT&T variant. It had hboot 1.44. I used revone to get it unlocked and s-off. Everything worked perfectly. Then I wanted to upgrade the firmware to the latest virsion. I used Vomer's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 to download the 4.19.401.11 firmware. I have done firmware upgrades many times on a different HTC One - T - Mobile variant without any problems. I installed the firmware the proper way. When it was finished I tried rebooting but it doesn't respond. Everything is black and even the buttons don't light up. When conneced to pc, in device manager I see QHSUSB_DLOAD device. I have tried all kind of button combinations to try and restart it but nothing works. Does anyone know what could have went wrong, and any idea's on how to try and fix it?
Thanks

Wow that project is from 2012 .. you sure it's worth it ?
the old 1.44 hboot is here
There's nothing else I can do, so I think it's worth the try.
The hboot that you provided is in img format. Do you know how to convert to nb0 format. Could it be simply a rename? Or would I need to use some tool?

sorry i have no idea
When I open a different hboot.nb0 and .img formats in a hex editor they look identical. Could this indicate that the extension was simply renamed, or the hex editor would not be able to tell?
Please read and understand the guide and accompanying links in their entirety before beginning.XDA and I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone.
This guide should work for anyone trying to RUU their phone, but let me give you my background on this first.
While trying to run an RUU to reset my phone, I kept running into an issue: "htc_fastboot.exe has stopped working". I could get my phone to restart, but the RUU would not run successfully. I searched this site and the internet for an answer, but could not find anything that worked for me. Also, a lot of people in Q&A tend to have issues getting the RUU to work. That's why I'm writing this guide. Hopefully someone who is having trouble will search and stumble across it. I tried everything I could find - Windows 7, 8.1, different RUUs, etc and this is how I finally fixed it. I am s-off by the way and did this in Windows 8.1 Update so the guide is written from that perspective.
Steps:
1. Make sure that your computer can see your phone when you boot into fastboot. It should say Fastboot in red that changes to Fastboot USB when plugged into your computer. There are guides that help with this, so I'm not going to go into much detail. Basically you install HTC Sync to your computer and then uninstall it but leave the drivers.
2. Get a copy of fastboot and ADB. The easiest way is to get the SDK from Google (tools only) as it also includes drivers, but you can get just fastboot and adb from here (I did not use this tool personally).
3. To verify that your phone and computer are talking, open a command prompt window (I always open as administrator) and go to the folder that contains fastboot. Type "fastboot devices" (no quotes) and it should list your phone. If it does not, something did not work right with steps 1 and 2.
4. If you are s-off, you do not need to lock the bootloader. If you are s-on, then you need to lock the bootloader by typing "fastboot oem lock" (again, no quotes).
5. Download the Full Firmware from RUU here. While you're there, get the RUU as well. Make sure to get the one that is not decrypted (first link). Copy both into the folder with fastboot.
6. Flash the firmware file using fastboot following the directions in the OP from where you got it. To summarize, rename the firmware zip file to firmware.zip. Then at a command prompt, type "fastboot oem rebootRUU". When the phone shows a black screen that says HTC, type "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip". The command prompt window will show a bunch of stuff as it does its thing. When you get back to the command prompt, it's finished. At this point, type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to restart back into the (hopefully now stock) bootloader. Personally, I had to repeat the last command again because it failed the first time.
7. At this point, you should be in the stock hboot. It should say fastboot USB in red. Now time to RUU.
8. The current RUU is an exe so run the RUU you download before (if you have a zip file, unzip the RUU and run ARUWizard.exe). I personally ran it as an administrator just to make sure limited privileges didn't cause an issue. Read each screen and keep clicking next. Eventually it will do its thing. It takes about ten minutes and sometimes seems to be frozen. Have patience grasshopper.
And that's it. I'm now running pure stock (not for long I'm sure), still s-off. If you are s-on, you will have to unlock your bootloader again.
Good luck!
I'll be the first to troll post in this guide
Nice work brother.
I've noticed the newer RUU's (M7 and M8) require you to have the matching hboot to run correctly even if your device is s-off.
I didn't know what it meant in step 8 to "unzip the RUU" since my RUU was an EXE file that could not be unzipped. After step 7, I just ran the RUU executable and it ran as expected. I was able to run everything else just like the steps say, but for step 8 I just ran the RUU executable I had downloaded for my Sprint HTC One.
Thanks for the guide!

You're welcome. Glad it helped. Also, thank you for the heads up about the RUU being an exe now. It was a zip file when I wrote the guide. I've fixed the guide to reflect the change.
Dude...
I was soft bricked for about an hour until I found this. It seems fairly obvious to me now, but for some reason I had thought that only flashing the full_firmware zip in fastboot would suffice. I guess the tiny file size (80MB unzipped???) should have tipped me off.
Regardless, I'm back up and running. Thanks, coal.

I'm guessing you are s-on. If so, you cannot flash the firmware file (I'm s-off and wrote the guide from that perspective). You most likely can just skip that step and run the ruu.exe.

i think the problem was due to same hboot error. i get to know this thing few days back. anyway thanks coal686. now i updated with the ruu having hboot 1.56 and now i m on kitkat 4.4.2 stock. i can update now to higher ones. thanks buddy
I want to make sure I understand something in the steps. I know the first step is to fastboot the full firmware ruu but then comes something I'm not sure about. Do I follow that up with the. exe file?
I am s-off with 1.60.

Thanks for using my guide!
The first step is to flash the "full firmware from RUU" (it's actually labelled that way in the OP of the linked post). It's only the firmware, not the full RUU. Then, follow that up with the .exe file which is the entire RUU. For some reason, the RUU wouldn't run for me without flashing the firmware first.
Since you are already on hboot 1.6, you probably don't have to flash the firmware first, but I'd do it just to be safe.
I normally think of a. exe file as executable. Is this something I can run or need to fastboot?

Just run it. Fastboot flash the firmware then just run the RUU exe.
Just wanted to report that I had the same problem with htc_fastboot.exe stopped working error and I was stuck on 3.22.1540.1 JB and there was no way on upgrading my software because OTAs would download but I would get a red mark when installing. So I skkipped most of your steps because I was not rooted or unlocked, I was all stock but reflashed the same software I was on, 3.22.1540.1 zip and did it twice since first time I got FAILED message in ADB. Once my phone restarted I tried flashing a newer RUU and still got htc_fastboot.exe error on KK and LP RUUs so just for luck tried downloading OTA from the phone but this time it DID install. So I upgraded to 4.15.1540.9 and currently downloading 4.19.1540.4. Hopefully everything goes right and I can get LP running on my phone.

Device not recognized
Whenever I plug in my device and go to fastboot, my computer tells me "USB Device not recognized". I've installed the drivers from HTC, I even went to Decide manager on my PC to see if the device appears at all. It shows on the top under "Android USB Device" and it's labeled "My HTC" but it has the error symbol on it, so o deviced to unistall the driver and install it manually. It said that I already had the correct driver.
The reason I'm trying to do all this is, back in 2013 I had put Viper ROM on my device, it worked great, I also installed cyanogen mod as well and that worked great, at the time I wanted to have the double tap to wake feature, so I installed a custom Kernel to allow that. When I had booted up my phone the HTC logo didn t go away, then the lock screen showed up, I unlocked my phone, the HTC logo was still there, then my home screen finally opened and some apps wouldn't open. Then it would restart, so I rebooted it and it would do the same thing, turn on, show the HTC, start then restart. I could go into recovery fine, Install updated version of rom, and the same problem persists
Is there any reason the RUU exe file would stop working only two screens in? I basically run it, accept the terms, click next... then nothing....... what SHOULD it be doing? Best, Rich

Thanks so much Coal, that absolutely worked. The RUU exe runs for me, but getting 155 unknown error. Evidently its not the right RUU for my device. My bootloader is "relocked" already, S-on. So confusing. When I was following the directions on the guide, when flashing the firmware, I was getting the 12 missing signatures error also, I'm assuming its not reading it as an HTC signed firmware. Any ideas on my next direction? Best, Rich
in short, I have a playstore M7_UL that just won't switch to LTE after flashing a couple of lolipop based roms, I already tried messing around with the APN settings. stock roms such as this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499452) will work properly with every single feature the phone should have if it was originally from T-Mobile, however I would Ideally like to update my phone to 12.
do you have any suggestions for this problem? or am I stuck with this 4.3 rom? I would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration, and I wait eagerly for your response.

That is a very old ROM, have you updated your system to the latest Sense 6 firmware? If not, then you might want to run the latest TMOUS RUU. When completed, check to see if you have LTE. My guess you will, then if you want you can try one of the Lollipop ROM.

Yes, if you are S-ON you need to re-lock your bootloader. You can use this command in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Your bootloader should say Relocked, leave the phone connected to the computer then run the RUU.

Finding the "right" RUU was difficult but I got it "working" I flashed RUU: "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_TMOUS_1.27.531.11_Radio_4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed" that had 4G, then I unlocked and rooted once more, unfortunately I am currently still stuck with CM12 in 3g/h+, so am I missing something?

I think you have a gross firmware - ROM mismatch. You are running version 1.XX firmware with a version 6.XX or 7.XX rom. You need to update your phone to at least version 6.XX and then see if CM12 will give you 4G. If you still have troubles with it in CM12 but not in the stock then it is CM12 that is the issue! These need to be done in order so that you don't brick your phone!!!

if you have a read through the CM12 thread or use the search feature within the thread itself, you will find that 4G / LTE is currently a problem for most users and in all not working, seem's to be a problem with 11 and 12 at the moment.

as you are s-on you will need to do the updates in order, therefore your next one you'll need will either be a 1.28.531.xx or 1.29.531.xx or even 2.24.531.xx, you need to do them in the correct order otherwise you'll just keep erroring out, easier to just s-off on your current firmware.

Windows 8.1 proved to be a very bad choice to begin flashing old RUUs. USB drivers went rogue on me, so I decided to switch to an old beat up windows 7 system. worked like a charm, I was able to flash 1.2 and 3.2 things were looking up till tried 4.2, both windows 8.1 and 7 killed the installer, 7 says it is a USB error [171] while 8.1 says it is the wrong RUU. apparently I am not the only one with this issue, I'll see what I can find. I feel that thanks to your help guys I am getting real close, I can almost smell the sweet scent of fresh 4G lolipop brewing.

Error 171 is a connection error, meaning the RUU can't connect to/find your phone, recheck your drivers with the phone booted and plugged into the computer and also recheck your drivers with the phone in the bootloader and plugged into your PC, I think you might find when its in the bootloader you have "One" with a yellow exclamation mark in device manager, you will have to manually force the driver, right click and select update driver, you the manual installation instructions, don't let windows search anything itself, it will fail.
have you also tried to just run the updates from your phone, ie settings - about - software updates ?

Yes, if you are S-ON you need to re-lock your bootloader. You can use this command in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Your bootloader should say Relocked, leave the phone connected to the computer then run the RUU.

I think you have a gross firmware - ROM mismatch. You are running version 1.XX firmware with a version 6.XX or 7.XX rom. You need to update your phone to at least version 6.XX and then see if CM12 will give you 4G. If you still have troubles with it in CM12 but not in the stock then it is CM12 that is the issue! These need to be done in order so that you don't brick your phone!!!
RUU 3.24.531.3
RUU 4.19.531.10
RUU 5.14.531.1

after the first comment in this post yeah, I had installed a very early TMOUS RUU, from there it asked to be updated to Sense 6.0, I let it update and from there I flashed CM12 and I had no 4G. would something different happen if i try this again now that I flashed 1.2 and 3.2?
more info though, both computers do "update" the phone but get interrupted. regarding the "wrong" RUU error message from windows 8.1, it says "ERROR[158]: Image Error"

Im sure I read through here somewhere ages ago about users having problems with the 4xxxxx update, have a search through this forum for T-Mobile RUU, it was in the main RUU thread, and im sure someone fixed it too.

Huge amount of frustration with trying to deal with my phone
I soft bricked my HTC One M8 HK not too long ago, and had left it sitting in the dust for a while as I had no options of fixing it because I wiped the memory on accident (how I did, I don't know. Guess I'm dumb. That's not the point though). It's been sitting on my dresser for about 2 months being unused as I had no microSD cards in hand. All it had was an unlocked bootloader and working TWRP.
As of right now, I've tried to install 4 ROMs. All 4 did not work. I followed the instructions and unlocked my bootloader and did all other essential things. I installed ViperOneM8 before being ignorant that my WiFi wouldn't work. It was the only ROM I installed that actually booted properly. The only issue was that I had no WiFi. Had it worked, I wouldn't be making this thread. Then I got Android Revolution HD, installed it and it installed properly. I booted it into system, and it brought me to bootloader. This was the same issue I had while trying to install my first ROM, and still happens. Then I got CyanogenMod, and it didn't even install. TWRP told me it failed right off the bat. Same thing with whenever I tried to install a stock firmware recovery of the variant I have, HK Sprint.
Right now, I'm getting the 4.2.5 HK RUU in hopes that it works. I tried it previously, and it was a literal waste of time. I've been here for 5 hours trying different ROMs and to no success. I was very faithful I would get to use my phone again, although unless this RUU actually works, I don't have a lot of positive faith for my phone.
Are there any fixes for getting something like CyanogenMod to work? I actually really wanted this ROM after I remembered it, and was quite let down after it failed to work. Also, is there anything I should do with the phone before I go farther with anything?
Thanks for any help you all can give, I would greatly appreciate it. Sucks not having a phone, so I'll take any help I can get. Thanks once again!
EDIT: The RUU did not work. It failed to update. Waiting for answers I guess..

Flashing RUU requires locked bootloader.
Alright, I'm seriously about to just throw this thing in the dumpster. I've been here another 2 hours trying to get Cyanogen to work, and I figured out the issue with it. The updater script file wasn't accepting m8_whl. I'm still unaware how in the Mod Edit I'm supposed to put m8_whl into the script for it to be accepted.
To be more specific, the actual updater script has m8whl, while my phone recognizes as m8_whl. It denies it.
I thought I put it into the script correctly, although it is not accepting it. I found a quote not saying the location, and I assumed in the latest release of Cyanogen 12 for M8s, it was in /META-INF/google/android/updater-script
Please, someone help me before I have an anger episode. This thing has literally wasted my whole Mod Edit day.

Don't toss it, it's still worth something, even if not to you. But as @popthosegaskets said, you need to relock the bootloader to flash the RUU. If it's been sitting for awhile, what version of firmware and hboot was it on prior to not working? Perhaps the issue is that it's older, also try flashing the newest version of TWRP if you still want to install a custom OS.
If you want to RUU, just use the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock" while in fastboot and then run the RUU. I think it reboots after locking.

Didn't work, the RUU gave me the same error as last time, it tells me its the wrong RUU. Got both the stock RUUs just to see if I got it wrong about HK, both failed. Please help...

[Mod hat on] I know it can be frustrating at times but please take it easy with the swearing. [/Mod hat off]
You might try flashing the Full firmware that matches the RUU that you are trying to flash, the past couple updates require hboots to match on both your device and the RUU or you will get an error.

My apologies for the swearing, was angry at the time.
Also, my hboot version seems to be 3.18. Not sure what to do in order to be able to flash firmware. My OS version seems to be 2.16.651.4 as well if that helps.
What would I have to do in order to install a ROM and how?
If you are not flashing the full firmware to begin with, that's the issue. From your OP it looks like you only have an unlocked BL and had TWRP.
You must relock the BL and then run the full RUU, you can get it in the thread here, or get it from HTC. Either way you need the full one, it flashes the FW and Software as well as bootloader and radios.

Are you S-Off or On? If you are running the *.651* then that's the non HK version. It's ok if you flashed a modified stock, but if you got that from an RUU, that would be what the issue is. I think

If you have a platform-tools you can use that or use the folder attached.
Unzip it and copy the files to a folder.

Alright, I did it all, but it doesn't seem to be changing once I send over the zip. Is it meant to take a while or is there something wrong?
EDIT: 20 minutes later and still at the sending. Something probably went wrong.
EDIT 2: 30 minutes later, still sending.
