Flashing RUU after S-OFF

jinx27 · Jun 8, 2013

Hi everyone,

Got my 3 branded HTC One S-Offed today, with the aim of getting the stock cid HTC__001 ROM on there so I can get OTA update ON TIME (Yup, Three still haven't released the 1.29 update)

So my CID's been changed to HTC__001 and flashed the RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe RUU

All went smooth and all the bloatware disappeared, however my software version is still showing as 1.28.771.6 which is the Three ROM software version, which is why i'm guessing it's still not shoiwng any OTA updates available?

Tried flashing again with SuperCID instead and when flashing this tume the RUU utility showed my phone's software version as 1.28.401 like it should have been, however flashed again and same thing, software version still showing up 1.28.771.6!

Feel as though i'm missing something stupid if anyone can help please!

You have to change more than your cid in bootloader it appears twice if not 3 times go read supercid thread in development section

Checked it out, my HTC One is showing HTC__001 as CID with the getprop "ro.cid" command also without having to do anything, so in all three places my CID is correct, am I missing something else?

Sorted this by the way, extracted the rom.zip from the RUU and flashed manually through fastboot, now working!

The radio seems to be the right version now as well? I think I may just run the RUU exe over this again to make sure

This is exactly what i want to do. I have a HTC One from from 3 and want to debrand and go to a stock rom. Have you recieved an OTA update since you have done this? Or are you still on 1.28.401.7 that you flashed?

Yeah, the RUU set's everything back to stock, including recovery

You do NOT need to change all Cid locations for RUU and OTA's. Just the Fastboot one is sufficient. I just tested RUU and OTA and it works fine. You can RUU without even re locking the bootloader with supercid, but to install an OTA you will have to relock bootloader and change cid from 11111111 to whatever carrier you are trying to OTA. I personally have an ATT CWS__001, changed CID to 11111111 with fastboot oem writecid 11111111. (get prop cid is still CWS__001) Ran older Dev edition ruu, installed fine without locking or changing cid. Booted and system Downloaded OTA, of course wouldnt install due to improper system files. Fastboot oem lock and fastboot oem write cid BS_US001 was all i needed to successfully install the OTA. NO HEX EDIT needed.

I see you are on 3, is that in the UK? ... I'm curious that's all as mine is a sim free one and I wondered, when it comes to the 4.2.2 update, will a sim free user get the update at a different time to someone who has a carrier branded phone? I'm on Tesco and just wondered if I'll get the update when they decide to send it to my phone, or will it work differently seeing as I bought the phone sim free?

Yup in the UK, I had a Three branded phone, which officially never even received the 1.29 OTA. If you've got a SIM free phone then it doesn't matter what network your on, you'll get the update same time as the other SIM free phones, it's just branded phones that get updates at different time

Ah sound, operators are a ***** lol, glad I opted for sim free, especially as my contract costs me £7.50 a month and the same one, with a contract phone, cost me £25.

Yes it does as the ROM.zip in the RUU is the complete file - radio, ROM, fw, the lot

Can you please give a few more details about how you installed ROM.zip through fastboot? I have followed all the steps. S-OFFed, HTC__001 cid but when I install the RUU my version number refuses to change.

I'm in the exact same situation but managed to dig a bit more and bumped into this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWqUlTSvr8U

I'm also guessing that i need to relock my bootloader to flash this ?

cptblackgb · Jun 9, 2013

I started with the 3 Branded uk phone. I had an unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery on it as i was going to go for a custom rom to fix my Bluetooth issues.

But after seeing the original post and realizing s-off was now available this is what i did.

With Bootloader unlocked and recovery still there i S-Off'd the phone and then set my CID to HTC__001

Then i downloaded RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
I ran this as the .exe i downloaded no extracting or anything it was untouched. It installed fine and i double checked the version on the phone once booted and they all matched.

While i was checking version numbers the update for 1.29.401.12 popped up so i installed that straight away.

Bootloader is still unlocked and i am just waiting for the 4.2.2 update now.
