Find my quote on ultimate thread i wanna only say that you need to use rumrunner 0.71 proto,your device has to be on 1.26.401.2 and have ultimate kernel boot6 or boot8_no_oc with stock recovery flash firmware.zip first from RUU mode with relocked BL and then flash kernel and has to be rooted and busyboxed.You have to use windows 7 sp1 x64 or earlier and make sure every antivirus,antispyware is turned off and
htc sync,samsung kies,sony pc companion,itunes and other stuff to be closed completly..Use usb 2.0 port only no hub no usb 3.0..Device has also not to have lock screen pattern.. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3j5qnhto6709ujw/rumrunner_proto_0.7.1.zip?dl=0

i have no experience in the matter, but from what i've learned from reading other posts in the forum over the last few weeks...
if you used revolutionary to s-off, you can't update to the official ruu without reverting back to s-on. there are numerous guides in the forum for that so just do a search.
if you upgrade to the official ruu, however, your bootloader will be upgraded to 2.0 as well (someone reported this after upgrading to the official ruu) and i don't know if you will be able to downgrade. so, if you are looking to upgrade, please know that there's a possibility that you won't be able to s-off your phone again (at least until someone figures out a way to downgrade from 2.0 bootloader).
ps just a friendly advice, try not to ask the same question in multiple threads just be patient and someone will answer your question (assuming that there's an answer available).

damn can't understand this
"6 . Plug your USB cable in and the screen should change to FASTBOOT USB. Then on your PC, open a CMD window and change to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK tools, such adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc. In the CMD window you would type the command:"
i know how to use cmd but i dont have this files adb.exe, fastboot.exe in SDK tools

@syc7090 thank you friend .. all is fine now and new update just installed..
Why don't you just flash ARHD? Its the same OTA 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 plus rooted and you won't loose s-off. Check development area for ARHD Rom. Just taking my advice you gonna be fine.

I agree. if you want to keep your phone s-off, then arhd is a better option.
Yes but what with warranty? My phone is old just 2 month... ?

if warranty is your main issue, the phone will be covered by warranty again once you revert to s-on afaik.

you need to flash hboot to original.
First, go to fastboot and install shipped rom version 2.3.3

and than go to first process to flash hboot. After that you can update your software to 2.3.5.

Verizon Htc one, rom reboots every few minutes.

Hello guys Im having a problem with my vzw htc one and I know its my fault, I basically soft bricked the phone however it loads into currently installed rom (I had 3 and only one that would load) I have but reboots every few minutes with no access to the internal memory. I was trying to install Google play edition 4.4 kitkat however I forgot the radios are different for our phones and I installed the incorrect radio so now I am stuck only with the bootloader and CWM recovery but I cannot flash any files through fastboot because its apparently still locked (im getting the remote not allowed error) My phones is S off and rooted (I used rumrunner) . I have tried to mount usb storage in recovery with no luck and I have tried to flash a new rom and radio through boot loader but its locked and htc dev wont let you unlock our phones so im kinda stuck
If anyone has a solution to my problem I would really appreciate it I use my phone for a lot of stuff while deployed here in Afghanistan I use Roshan prepaid sim card works well.Thanks for any help and have a great day !

Im using my buddies laptop and 3g hotspot at work I just installed twrp it works fine I have the correct radio to load on my phone is there i way i can flash this new correct radio without unlocking the hboot ? Everything is erased but i still have carbon rom running so if i get the correct radio again i can just use the phone normally and install the rom using the computer. if that doesnt work can i use adb sideload or something in twrp recovery ? i tried to mount usb in twrp but still no go.

you can download any flashable radio and replace the radio.img in the zip with yours and flash it in twrp.
here's one of mine >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358550122
Edit: and did you look at scotty's lock / unlock page ?
Also the Carbon rom could be part of your problem
try a normal Sense Rom - like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693502

I did see that and cool I will use yours. I guess I will try to unlock it in case this happens again but ill probably never mess with the radio again lol.
i wasnt using the carbon rom anymore i had 2 more roms on my sd card and when i flashed the incorrect radio the other two wouldnt even work. thescreen was black when it loaded. carbon rom is the only one that would load but it just reboots every few minutes i tried to copy the files on the sd card before it rebooted but wouldnt work
just out of curiousity how would i flash that with the bootloader locked. i really want to know incase something ever happens again. im still learning alot of this stuff lol
Im going to unlock the hboot real quick and see if that works. you should private message me your paypal im going to buy you dinner for all your help
btw this my current radio 4T.21.3218.21 im guessing it doesnt work with verizon htc one lol.

Well i feel like a dumbass right now unless its just a crazy stroke of luck. i had my usb plugged in to the ss 3.0 and when reading the instructions to setup up the adb it said to make sure you not using a 3.0 usb. so i switched and when i rebooted carbon rom becase it says i need usb debugging on but when i rebboted my internal sd popped up and i tried to move the files and it worked and then reboot lol. i went into recovery and flashed google play rom and its working however my Afghanistan roshan simcard isnt working now i set it back to global but no go. what radio should i flash now if yours works fine with verizon ill just use yours. which one should I use ?

fix your fastboot issues --> most likely drivers issues, install latest htc drivers, make sure you have a good usb data cable and good working usb port on your computer, don't use any external hub. If you are using windows 8 make sure your hboot version is not 1.44, if yes, you must use windows 7, linux or mac. Make sure you have the latest android sdk (latest fastboot and adb version (1.0.32)
then either unlock your bootloader to flash a custom recovery and then a rom
or
flash a ruu to restore your phone (easy when s-off)
And no your phone isn't permanently bircked, wiped os is the most frequent cause of softbrick and its easy to fix

[GUIDE] SIM UNLOCK without S-OFF ODEX HTC ONE M7 SPRINT

This thread is just for sprint m7 version 4.x.x
There is another way here SIM UNLOCK BY elvisypi but when you try it on the odex rom it says vDM had stopped so you cant unlock unless you flash another rom or do S-OFF so I decided to find a way and here it is.
LET'S START
1 - flash this via recovery [MOD] SIM UNLOCK for 4.3
thanks to chas123 because he's the one who hacked HtcOMADM_SPCS (which is also used in Sprint HTC One SIM Unlock Helper) making it possible to unlock!
2 - Flash ODEX-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip
3 - Install sim unlock helper.apk and do as usual.
in case you have a problem flash the STOCK-‫ODEX-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip then redo the steps . :good:
help
where i can find this app: sim unlock helper.apk
Great
Thank you!!:good:
My phone is S-ON hboot 1.57, this method worked for me!!
thank you very much:laugh:

Yeah, I think you should think twice before you upgrade, because I basically documented my attempt to SIM UNLOCK on Lollipop 5.0.2 Sprint Stock ROM and it does NOT work...
So if you have SIM UNLOCK on anything before 5.0 then STAY THERE until someone documents it actually working for 5.0 and higher, because I have not seen anyone having it working yet...
Once again, I am on Sprint STOCK ROM but you can read about it in the other thread...

Can you post your phone details? I tried on my phone and it did not work so now I am trying another method and will post update
Sprint HTC One - M7_WLS S-ON
HBOOT 1.61.0000
RADIO 1.01.20.1225
OpenDSP 35.120.274.0718
OS 6.23.651.6
Just wondering if you have a different HBOOT or if you are running LATEST Stock ROM, because I keep seeing threads of people SIM UNLOCK phones that are NOT Stock ROM Lollipop.
So if you got it to work then I guess someone else can try again, but I am also trying another method and trying to get a SIM from Mexico because it might not like DOMESTIC US SIM cards since it is SPRINT

What worked for me was to just remove the ODEX file completely, so I flashed the modified OMADM APK and then removed the corresponding ODEX file. No more VDM client stopped errors. This was on 4.3.
hello there
My htc software information is attached below.
Its running android 4.4.2 and sense 5.5.
Do I have to downgrade it to 4.3 and follow the instructions ?
I haven't unlocked boot loader and rooted the phone. But I have done this in few other htc mobile so this is not a problem for me. And do i have to install certain roms before following above instructions.
i think i was able to sim unlock it, but getting invalid card. I have two Sprint HTC One M7s
Phone #1 (Getting invalid card)
HBoot 1.57 S-ON
Radio is 1.01.20.0904_2
Phone #2 (Works with TMobile SIM)
HBoot 1.55 S-OFF
Radio is 1.00.20.0315
Is there a way to downgrade the radio or am I missing something?
i think lollipop works but need to flash an older radio. i couldn't get the sim unlock to stick (by helper.apk and terminal command); but once i downgraded the radio, the unlock sticked and was able search for carrier...
Will this work with 1.6 hboot running resurrection ROM? Thanks.

So today happened my phone's battery died and when I connected and turn on again my phone said I don't have a valid SIM card so I don't know if I need to unlock, or something. Please help me.

I'm thinking this is a similar issue many users are experiencing. I have no idea on how to unlock or use this phone on any other network than sprint. I've personally had settings reset and lost data and continually have to set my phone back how I like it because of dying batteries. Sorry my man I cannot help with this problem, only verify that marshmallow seems very glitchy

R u able to unlock. i am also facing same issue.
if yes. Please let me know what all thing you tried.
If your phone shows invalid sim it means it is relocked, you can unlock again same methods mentioned in General forum if you are on android 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 SENSE rom (others claim it work on upto v 5 but it didn't work for me on 4.4.4 and later). You will need S-OFF to downgrade firmware to earlier than 4.20 or 3.30 (firmware version) because some new firmware will not run old SENSE roms.
[RUU][Firmware]Sprint HTC One M8 | 6.20.65x.3 | Stock Rooted ROMs | Updated 1.30.16 (you have to look for older firmwares in 1st/2nd post)
Sim unlock method
steps if you are on MM rom and SOFF:
1-Backup internal memory(will be erased with RUU)
2-Make full TWRP nandroid backup on external SD or copy it to your PC from internal memory
3-Downgrade FW (with RUU to avoid problems)
4-Install 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 Custom SENSE rom (I used Viper 1.5)
5-Follow same simunlock method
6-Upgrade with MM firmware twice (MM RUU will not install without this step)
7-Upgrade with MM RUU (optional step to make sure all partitions are upgraded)
8-Install TWRP and restore your full nandroid backup
9-Restore your internal memory backup which you did not forget to do, because your internal memory is now empty if you used RUU to upgrade/downgrade.

Hi,
I was on stock marshmallow and s-offed my device so I could downgrade.
Could you please describe what exactly needs to be done in step 3 "Downgrade FW"
Is it possible to run some RUU.exe to achieve step 3 listed above?

[RUU][Firmware]Sprint HTC One M8 | 6.20.65x.3 | Stock Rooted ROMs | Updated 1.30.16 (you have to look for older firmwares in 1st/2nd post)
Sim unlock method
steps if you are on MM rom and SOFF:
1-Backup internal memory(will be erased with RUU)
2-Make full TWRP nandroid backup on external SD or copy it to your PC from internal memory
3-Downgrade FW (with RUU to avoid problems)
4-Install 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 Custom SENSE rom (I used Viper 1.5)
5-Follow same simunlock method
6-Upgrade with MM firmware twice (MM RUU will not install without this step)
7-Upgrade with MM RUU (optional step to make sure all partitions are upgraded)
8-Install TWRP and restore your full nandroid backup
9-Restore your internal memory backup which you did not forget to do, because your internal memory is now empty if you used RUU to upgrade/downgrade.

You don't need adb or USB debugging to use fastboot, you also don't need to boot the phone as long as it turns on to the bootloader use command "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img"
If fastboot cannot see your phone then install HTC drivers and check the cable to make sure the computer can see your phone.
Command "Fastboot devices" to see if you installed the drivers properly
