[Q] Converting to Stock from Carrier Version

[cjb110]

I've got a HTC One from EE (UK), who are being retardedly slow in providing updates.
So I'd like to change to a stock HTC and still receive OTA updates. I'd prefer not to change to Google Play Edition if possible.

My bootloader currently says:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** LOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-HTC__001
HBOOT-1.55.0000
RADIO-4A.21.3263.04
OpenDSP-V32.120.274.0909
OS-
eMMC-boot 2048MB

I've got TWRP installed v2.7.1.1

I've also changed my CID to HTC__0001 and also the MID to PC0710000 using the MID Change tool.

Its currently running Android v4.3, HTC Sense 5.5 and Software 3.63.61.1.

What do I need to do next? I *think* I need to install a RUU? but not sure.

You are right, you now need to run the .401 ruu. Just to be sure, you said you have changed your CID to HTC__0001 ? Its HTC__001 (only 8 characters)

stay s-off and bootloader unlocked after the conversion.

your twrp recovery will be overwritten with the stock recovery included in the RUU.

I did exactly the same thing with my Vodafone branded one, best move I ever made, I got the update a month before Vodafone started sharing it.

Just make sure you backup your current Rom and take note or remember your original cid should the worst happen and you need to return it for any reason, copy the backup , once created, to your pc before running the ruu.

I'm on EE too and in the process of grabbing all the files needed for this. My fone is 100% stock so need to unlock, root and S-Off yet.

I grabbed the RUU from here. 1.5GB. HTC Europe
