[How-to][ruu] flash Rom.zip to factory

18th.abn · Apr 26, 2013

For this quick how-to I will be using the file name Rom.zip as default for the Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.7_encrypted_ROM-1.zip firmware download available from
O.M.J. here (use ENCRYPTED version)

From fastboot you need to first re-lock your bootloader

fastboot oem lock

Once locked it will boot back into bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Now your booted to the black HTC screen. Make sure your Rom.zip file is in your adb/fastboot folder

fastboot flash zip Rom.zip

This takes a couple minutes and you will most likely get a error
(pre-hboot update: please flush immediately)

Make sure device is still in ruu mode(black HTC screen). If not rerun

fastboot oem rebootRUU

now simply reflash the rom.zip

fastboot flash zip Rom.zip

Let it run and it should finish this time

It will reboot to a fully stock build.

just remember, anytime you get a "flush immediately" error, just make sure your still in ruu mode and reflash the zip.

The most common error is typically

(Error 155)
You did not re lock your bootloader first
-go relock and flash again

Thanks for the quick how-to. I've done plenty of similar things on all of my old Sammy devices with Odin, but this is my first HTC handset (so glad I made the switch).

bricked my phone, trying to flash it back to stock, hopefully you can help

i can get to bootloader, and can get to fastboot how do i relock bootloader?
fastboot oem lock - what does this mean?

Once locked it will boot back into bootloader

fastboot rebootRUU - is this an option i will see? how will i get the phone to reboot RUU?

Now your booted to the black HTC screen. Make sure your Rom.zip file is in your adb/fastboot folder. How can i get the rom.zip to my adb/fastboot folder
- my phone won't boot it hangs at the green htc screen. I can't mount the phone to add files to it.

thanks in advance

fastboot oem lock <---- this is the cmd u type, u need sdk tools installed

fastboot rebootRUU <----- another cmd u need to type

if u dont have sdk, just grab hasoons all in one toolkit, it will be much easier....another option is to run the RUU from windows (see 2nd link)

OKAY [ 35.969s]
writing 'zip'...

any idea?

thanks!

Your either not using the correct Rom.zip for your device or your using one that has been decrypted. It has to be a untouched, encrypted Rom.zip.

Thank you all this info is good for when I root it.

I can s-off, and set the bootloader to relocked... Would it work that way?

Error 90 is a version error I believe. The Rom.zip you are trying to flash is a older firmware than what you are currently using on your device. It could also be a cid/mid mismatch. More info on your device and the firmware your trying to flash is needed to really do anything more than just speculate.

jacobspecht · Jul 22, 2013

Do you have to relock first if you are s off and unlocked with revone? If so, can you relock using the revone method again?
Also, do you have to extract a separate file inside the ruu zip itself to flash?
Thanks

The RUU changes your CID. You'd have to change it after the RUU. But why not leave it as Super CID? What's the point?

I've flashed older firmware so I don't think that is it. Also, the CID gets changed so it doesn't have to match. He/She should copy/paste where the error occurs for us to have some context.

You should be able to relock in Fastboot using 'fastboot oem lock'

there is no Ruu for .31

fastboot boot recovery and then do this:

adb shell
echo 1.29.00 | dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 skip=160

and then just fastboot oem lock and run the RUU
