You should change place on step 2 and 3 in the guide as changing MID requires you to flash a RUU. You're in a bit of a pickle if you have flashed the engineering hboot but cannot flash a RUU.

Because of things like ^ I'm going to wait before I go and possible bork my One. I'm not an idiot by any means but this seems highly alpha... and Google hasn't really released any major updates for it yet anyway. Let me know when KLP comes out.

And anyone who changed their mid would know that. Common sense rocks.

gunnyman do we need to keep our google bootloaders unlocked or is it safe to lock them if we want to?

There's no reason to lock a bootloader once you unlock it here.

Why not just edit your post to point this out for anyone who doesn't think before they act?

Surely you're not that vain?

I could be doing something wrong here! I don't seem to have any Recovery at all. All i get when I want to get to recovery is reboot back to my ROM. I'm only wanting to ROOT and I can't seem to flash the GE Recovery in this tread or any of the others at all. ts writing all recoveries but just won't boot into any of them.

PowerManagmentService is betterbatterystats service if I'm not mistaken. hsic has to do with the USB of the SOC, I remember that was quite high up on Nexus4 because the radio used USB to communicate. Not sure what is using USB on the one tho..

Weird I can't use reboot even after using su to change to root. Says not permitted and the advanced reboot app doesn't work either

True! Here you go. Seems it's only when I was listening to Spotify?

Yeah. The first one is spotify and the second one is the Audio handler of Android. This looks pretty normal to me if you have been playing music for like 24 minutes.

Install Xposed framework together with MoDaCo toolkit and enable APM for all nexus devices in MoDaCo settings. This will give you Reboot options without modifying the SystemUI.

Actually you're wrong... Plenty of you people have benefited from video tutorials so save that garbage... That's the problem with you people on here, you all forgot that you weren't born learning how yo do this... Now I know how to flash my ROM and unlock my boot loader but the other stuff I'm not 100% sure....

I don't know about you... but I learned by doing my own leg work, by doing my own research, and by READING. Not asking others to spoon feed me the information or ask for further step by step directions when they have already been given.

I put in the hours of reading and work. If I could learn on my own and by not asking to be spoon fed the information then anyone can. Also, If you expect to be spoon fed stuff you will never learn anything. I know guys that have been using android way longer than me but are clueless.. Want to know why? Because they wait for step by step videos, they are the ones that use one click tool kits instead of taking the time to learn. They are the ones that I have surpassed in Android knowledge by 10 fold and not because I did what they did but because I took the initiative to learn on my own.

Added text to OP:

This thread is NOT to support changing your MID, Changing your CID, Rooting or Flashing a custom recovery. If you need to learn how to do any of those do NOT use this thread to post in. Post in the respective dedicated threads to complete these processes. This thread is ONLY to support flashing the GE Bootloader, GE Recovery and the RUU. Nothing less nothing more.

Furthermore if you need any more detailed instructions than what's stated in this post then you really shouldn't be doing this to your device. If you need a "video" or ask for "step by step" instructions you will NOT get anything more than what's in this post (at least from me). There is no easier way to do this process, there is no easier way to explain it. If you read the post and still don't understand what to do then I advise you to leave your phone alone... Read and then read some more until you understand everything.. WE WILL NOT SPOON FEED YOU IN THIS THREAD!

That's exactly what I thought..... nothing to say and trust me I will

Also, You don't go into the major leagues without ever playing baseball and expect to be a home run king do you? It takes training, it takes work... You don't walk into a tattoo shop and pick up a needle and say "ok who's next?" Do you? And in that industry the guys that did put in the work would have ZERO respect for you because you didn't pay your dues. The same applies for everything. You don't start out at the top. It takes time, training, learning (which you gain by READING and doing your own research)

Hey guys.

So I'm currently sitting at

S-OFF
CID Changed

but when I execute the command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU

the screen just goes blank. I wait it out nothing changes. So I turn it on holding down power and it enters the RUU screen. The grey HTC screen.

So then I try to run 'fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-2.14.1700.15.zip' it does not work. I try to do a 'adb devices' and there are no devices listed.

Need some direction please.

/* if it matters I'm on a mac. */

what do you mean it does not work? what does it say

cd in terminal to the folder where the ruu is or drag the ruu on top of terminal maybe? or try with ./fastboot

I'm not taking credit away from your work and I totally understand where you're coming from....I like to learn new things as well but being as this is my only device I'm a little caution about this but thanks for not replying like that rude gentleman above

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

A lot of these commands Are in windows and I'm using a Mac but like you gentlemen said just research...

adb commands are universal.

There is a reason that as much as this LOOKS like AOSP and acts like AOSP but has performance and battery life more akin to Sense, is that the GE is running firmware with a Sense Kernel, sitting on top of a huge chunk of Sense framework.
The software is slimmed down by half, thanks to no bloat from sense widgets or htc software etc.

I like the AOSP experience and this conversion is a great way to get it, and Android 4.3 before any other phone besides Nexus has it, is a nice bonus.

On that note Google is having a little announcement next week and I boldly am predicting here that we have 4.3 in less than a month from today.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

I prefer sense but I am unable to tether with it. On stock google I can tether without limits on T-Mobile using my unlimited data plan. On my previous HTC phone I was able to create a new APN and then tether worked. I actually only use stock Google for the tethering and nothing else. Maybe one day I will be able to dual boot.

does tether for root users on the play store not work for you?

Nice, I hope this announcement is for a new Android version, I am more curious to see how quick we get the OTA than anything. :)

    Go thank @homeslice976 For helping me do the system pull for the 5.0.1 RUU. Since I don't have the device anymore it was a great help!



    This will NOT work on a CDMA HTC One GSM ONLY!

    This thread is NOT to support changing your MID, Changing your CID, Rooting or Flashing a custom recovery. If you need to learn how to do any of those do NOT use this thread to post in. Post in the respective dedicated threads to complete these processes. This thread is ONLY to support flashing the RUU. Nothing more, nothing less.

    This is NOT a general 5.0.1 discussion thread.

    Furthermore, if you need any more detailed instructions than what's stated in this post then you really shouldn't be doing this to your device.

Read and then read some more until you understand everything.. WE WILL NOT SPOON FEED YOU IN THIS THREAD!

    This procedure is not easy and is not really noob friendly, well flashing the RUU is not really difficult but it's the prerequisites that are more complex/risky. If the instructions aren't clear enough for you or you require further hand holding then I'm sure most of us would advise you stay away from the process.

    Also, please do not PM me for support. PM's will not be answered. Post it in the thread. It helps other's having the same issue find a solution. If it's over PM it only benefits you and not everyone else


    Prerequisites

    S-Off,
    ADB knowledge
    Fastboot knowledge

    Instructions:
    First you are going to have to have s-off on your device. Thread for S-off (and support for S-off) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314582

    Full Conversion 5.0.1 RUU ZIP containing System, Boot and all Firmware 5.11.1700.3 Available as pre-rooted and stock non-rooted

    This will wipe EVERYTHING INCLUDING YOUR SD CARD so make sure you back up the contents before running this, but you'll end up with a factory-fresh GE. Of course, there's still no support, warranty or responsibility implied or otherwise.

    The 5.0.1 RUU Zip supports the following MIDs and CIDs if your MID or CID is not in this list you will have to modify the android-info.txt file in the zip to match your MID/CID

    modelid: PN0710000
    modelid: PN0711000
    modelid: PN0712000
    modelid: PN0713000
    modelid: PN0714000
    modelid: PN071****
    cidnum: 11111111
    cidnum: T-MOB010
    cidnum: CWS__001
    cidnum: BS_US001
    cidnum: GOOGL001


    Code:
    adb reboot bootloader

    Code:
    fastboot oem rebootRUU

    Code:
    fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-5.0.1-5.11.1700.3.zip

    you will the following message:
    Code:
    FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)

    Just run the same command again:
    Code:
    fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-5.0.1-5.11.1700.3.zip

    Code:
    fastboot reboot



    Download Links Can be Found on my Website: http://www.graffixnyc.com/m7.php
    DO NOT MIRROR
    You can also find the 5.0.1 OTA zip, firmware.zip, stock recovery and bootloader on my site as well from the same link above


    Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you use this and brick your device or if your device blows up, implodes, or flames start shooting from it or it kills your neighbor's dog. Flash at your own risk. This process is not for the faint of heart so I am not responsible.... It was the other guy... I swear....

    Graffixnyc had to run off to class, but he and I both wanted to make sure Argenist and the other guys in IRC got thanked properly.

    Argenist, man this wouldn't have happened without your help. You're a hero around here to lots of people.
    Thanks for trusting us not to brick your brand new phone.

    To Daereys, and Originator, and everyone else involved in getting the partitions dumped


    Thank you very much!

    I haven't had that much fun in IRC in forever. :)


    VERY important don't do the procedure in the OP unless you have backed up your STOCK BOOTLOADER

    Here are instructions for reversing all of this


    Prerequsites:
    S-off
    1.44 HBoot
    RUU for your device

    Ok I thought reversing since I had S-off would be a simple affair and maybe I took a misstep along the way but I got it done.
    Here's what worked FOR ME.

    1) set CID to superCID
    2) install the 1.44 Hboot in RUU mode (thanks SneakyGhost) http://d-h.st/qfc
    3) install the RUU for your phone/carrier
    4) if RUU is unavailable for your carrier, install the 1.44 hboot, one of the stock 1.29 roms, and change CID back to your device's CID
    If you changed your MID you'll need to change that back as well.
    5) change CID back to your device.

    This will take you back to a factory fresh install with 1.44 bootloader



    RevOne still works and I retained S-off.

    If someone else has an easier way that works, please let me know.

    Please NOTE:
    Restoring the RUU took a long time and looked like it hung up a couple of times when I ran it. Just let it run.



    The following thread from Sneakyghost has everything you ever wanted to know about Hboots and then some. Please read it.

    Seriously can't you guys just wait? When I get home I will get everything sorted for a complete conversion. Give an inch and everyone wants a yard. Smh..maybe its because I'm drunk at the bar with my classmates and professor.

    Here is the full RUU (including SBL images). This will wipe everything, but you'll end up with a factory-fresh GE. Of course, there's still no support, warranty or responsibility implied or otherwise.

    http://d-h.st/AnA

    MD5 (RUU-HTC_One_GE-2.14.1700.15.zip) = 01e98e27bca4ffb4bbbbeaea6d2ddecc

    This RUU contains all GE images (adsp, boot, hboot, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3, radio, recovery, rpm, sp1, system, tp, tz) from a GE dump.

    You must be S-OFF, either SuperCID or GOOGL001 and know what you are doing. (Don't blindly run these commands.)

    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-2.14.1700.15.zip
    fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-2.14.1700.15.zip
    fastboot reboot
    13
    uncon - great work, thanks for this.

    Quick question, there are lots of questions about what the sbl1, 2 and 3 are. I also do not know and despite research, Google is not helping. Can you explain what they are please?

    I'd typically ignore a question like this as this should be easy enough to google, but I can relate to your plight with this one. SBL is the "Secondary Boot Loader" which is a part of the bootloader chain. The different numbers are the different stages and are run/called in order.
