If you're using Windows 7 ...

C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp, where username is your user account name. If the name is long or includes spaces the username maybe expressed in old 8.3 form, e.g. "NEILJ~1.RUB" for "Neil J. Rubenking".

That's normal because the RUU.exe usually tells when phone to reboot. You have to do it yourself by typing fastboot reboot

That wasn't the proper RUU.

I got it working with the following RUU in zip form already.
PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed

Whoever needs it I can upload it to a g drive account as I don't recall the original source. I do believe it's from one of the threads around here.

You only need to boot in ruu mode to update the firmware.

IF your bootloader is unlocked, re-lock it:
Code: 
fastboot oem lock
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Code: 
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader

then flash the ruu:
Code: 
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
htc_fastboot reboot

7.21.707.105 firmware:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934556097

7.21.707.105 ruu and htc_fastboot:
http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944

if you want your phone to be s-off, better to do it now because it will be harder to do after updating.

You must have s-off to downgrade hboot.

If yes, zip the desired hboot with the appropriate android-info.txt together and flash in ruuu mode.

    So, you may have made a bad flash, having trouble to S-OFF or just want to go back to 100% stock ROM and recovery. In that case, the easiest solution is to run your RUU (ROM Update Utility). But unlike the conventional method, this guide is about extracting the rom.zip from your RUU for a faster and more comprehensive installation. The extracted rom.zip will also allow the possibility to decrypt the RUU in order to get access to all the individual files inside the encrypted archive. So, if you want to flash, for example, only the stock recovery, you can do it without having to flash the entire RUU ROM, which will restore the phone's entire software.

    Note: Your HTC One can be either S-ON or S-OFF in order to successfully flash RUU rom.zip. But if your device is S-OFF, you do not need to re/lock your bootloader.

    Follow the instructions in the given order to avoid any hiccups or possible bricking of your device:
    1. You will need to know your HTC One's MID and CID. These codes will allow you to find the required RUU for your phone.
    You need adb and fastboot. Go to your Bootloader. Select Fastboot. Connect your HTC One with its original USB cable to your PC. Do:
    Code: 
    fastboot getvar all
    and you should see a list of important information about your device. In particular, note the modelid (MID) and cidnum (CID). If you get nothing, there is an issue with the USB connection between your phone and PC.
    2. Find the correct RUU. Here's a thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428276 to find the correct RUU from the filename but more importantly, make sure that both the MID and CID match exactly with your device. You also need to pay attention if you need the M7 UL or M7 U version, which is in the filename of the RUU. If you can't find your RUU from that site, just google or search on XDA. However, not all HTC One variants have RUUs. But if you are already S-OFF, you can change your MID and CID, which will allow you to use any RUU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322820
    3. Extract the RUU and grab the rom.zip file. This is the most important file you need from the RUU and afterwards you can delete the RUU exe if you want. To get the rom.zip from your RUU exe file, you just need to run the RUU exe file once, and then when the window is ready and waiting for you to press on the "Next" button, just leave it open and go to your temp folder. I'm using Windows XP SP3 32-bit and my temp folder is located at this path: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp
    Now, you will see several files and folders. Sort everything in that temp folder based on "Date Modified" with the most recent folder showing up above all other folders. This is the folder you want. The folder name will be bunch of letters and numbers. Inside that folder you will find several files, but what you need is rom.zip and android-info.txt. Copy both these files and paste them somewhere safe on your hard drive. The android-info.txt contains crucial information about the compatibility of that RUU for your phone. Here's the android-info.txt extracted from my RUU exe:
    Code: 
    modelid: PN0711000
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__J15
cidnum: HTC__A48
cidnum: HTC__M27
mainver: 1.29.401.2
btype:1
aareport:1
DelCache:1
hbootpreupdate:3
    You can then verify that you have the correct RUU if the modelid matches that of your phone and if you can see your cidnum in that list. If either (or both) of the modelid or cidnum does not match that of your phone, the RUU process will fail. The mainver is the firmware that is going to be flashed onto your phone.
    For easy reference, create a new folder and name it exactly like the RUU exe file and put the rom.zip and android-info.txt in there so you won't have trouble identifying that rom.zip file later if you need to flash it again. Now, you can close the RUU installation window and all the files in that temp folder containing rom.zip will be instantly erased. Note that if you open the rom.zip with Winzip/Winrar, you will see a list of all the files but if you try to extract or double-click to open any of these files, you will get an error saying that the file is corrupt. This warning is only due to the files being encrypted by HTC, since the RUU is an official release and is digitally signed. To access those encrypted files, you will need to decrypt them on Linux.
    4. Go to your bootloader. Do:
    Code: 
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    This will reboot your HTC One and you will see a black screen with a silver HTC logo.
    Now, you will need to access the rom.zip file and flash it. I have copied my rom.zip to my adb folder located at: C:/mini-sdk/rom.zip
    So, i type:
    Code: 
    fastboot flash zip C:/mini-sdk/rom.zip
    Don't touch anything during the flash process. It will start and after some time, you will see FAILED error. Don't worry, it's the file preparation process if you have firmware higher than that of the RUU. Just do the same command again and the flash process will complete successfully this time. Look at the Command Prompt to know when the flash is complete. At the same time if you look at your phone, you will notice a green progress bar. When the flashing is complete on the Command Prompt, you will notice that the green bar is stuck at about 95%. This is normal. It's just a bug in the progress bar - what matters is the output from the Command Prompt window.
    5. Then, you reboot. Do:
    Code: 
    fastboot reboot
    This will restart your phone. Let it boot up. It might take a little longer for the first boot up sequence. You will then have completely stock software (firmware & ROM). Go to your bootloader and check. Your S-ON/OFF and Bootloader lock/unlock are unchanged from before the RUU rom.zip flashing procedure. You can now also receive OTA updates.

    I hope this has been helpful. Just press the THANKS button! :good:

    If you're S-OFF you do NOT need to relock the bootloader to flash an RUU - just putting that out there :)

    The filename/location is wrong.

    Try this:
    Code: 
    fastboot flash zip rom.zip

    You only need to boot in ruu mode to update the firmware.

    IF your bootloader is unlocked, re-lock it:
    Code: 
    fastboot oem lock
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

    Code: 
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader

    then flash the ruu:
    Code: 
    htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
htc_fastboot reboot

    7.21.707.105 firmware:
    https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934556097

    7.21.707.105 ruu and htc_fastboot:
    http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944

    if you want your phone to be s-off, better to do it now because it will be harder to do after updating.

    You must have s-off to downgrade hboot.

    If yes, zip the desired hboot with the appropriate android-info.txt together and flash in ruuu mode.

    You will need a Windows PC to flash any lollipop ruu.zip because it must be flashed using htc_fastboot.exe (.exe = Windows only) because the fastboot version from the sdk-tools can't handle a 1.5gb file. This will solve your first problem
    Second problem to come, you need at least hboot 1.57 and the version-main to be at least 6.xx.xxx.x to flash a Lillpop (7.xx.xxx.x RUU) so you'll have to update your firmware before flashing the RUU. Flash this (Sorry I had to omit your link so that I could post. This is my first post.) and then flash your 7.xx.1540.xx RUU.




    Hey All. Hey Alray I hope you are still monitoring this thread and can help me. I have had my One M7 AT&T variant for just about two years now and don't ask me why but I juuuust decided to update it. This all started with me trying to update it to the official RUU 7.23.502.4 from HTC's website. It kept failing with a 158 error message. It was completely stock 4.1.2 JB locked bootloader, unrooted and S-On. I managed to run the RUU 3.17.502.3 exe successfully, which the phone is still running. Next I tried to run the RUU 4.18.502.7 and got a 155 unknown error. Same error message also when I tried to run the RUU 7.23.502.4 exe. I have been trying to flash the rom.zip files for the KitKat and Lollipop RUUs via fastboot which keep failing with the same "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" error. However since I saw your advice that you have to use htc_fastboot to flash the large rom.zip files from htc, I tried using it with the extracted rom.zip, android-info.txt and htc_fastboot files from the KitKat 4.18.502.7 RUU but I now have a new error :eek: (See below):

    C:\Users\bobby\Downloads\AndroidDT\sdk\platform-tools>htc_fastboot flash zip rom

    You need at least hboot 1.57 (version-main 6.xx.502.x) to flash a 7.xx.502.x ruu. Best way imo is with s-off so you can convert to another version and get rid of the AT&T software and receive ota updates (dev edition or unlocked wwe)
