Ok, so im new here to the htc forums but not the rooting community. I previously had all nexus devices and this is my first htc/one device. I dont understand what image version im on bc when i look under Settings>About>Software Info I see Software Version - 1.29.651.10. So Why is that i cant run this RUU without any problems? Im using this guide... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
I Keep getting an error at the end. heres what i did

First i flashed this.... Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Deodexed.zip
Second... fastboot oem lock (from bootloader screen)
Third... Ran the setup.exe from this this Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip
Fourth... i accepted the terms but my image version said 1.31.651.2. the image version didnt match when i ran the RUU.
at the end i get the error code 140. im posting some images so you guy can see.
in the bootloader screen i did: fastboot getvar all and got this

so im am assuming that im flashed to this version of 1.29.651.10 android so to speak, but my actual image version is1.31.651.2? if i am understanding this correctly, that means i could flash any version i want but my actual bootloader is set on this1.31.651.2. So the RUU im using will not work until there is an updated version of the RUU, right? what if i was s-off? im currently s-on. would i be able to flash it back to stock if i was s-off and the image versions didnt match in the RUU? This is my first Htc devices and im felling kinda noobish.. please help.

So here is my fix..
I flashed a bone stock rom with no root found here... or restore nandroid. I usually make a nandroid backup before i flash su.zip. but anyway, after the restore i booted into the bootloader and types fastboot oem lock. then i proceeded to reboot, but my device kept booting into bootloader. i tried fastboot erase cache which didn't help. so i grabbed the firmware from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 . In the bootloader type...

fastboot oem reboot RUU
now you should be in a black screen with the htc logo

fastboot flash zip /navigate/to/zip/file
you will get fail the first time(pre-hboot update: please flush immediately)
just make sure your device is still in the RUU mode(black screen with htc logo, if not redo first step)

fastboot flash zip /navigate/to/zip/file
it should proceed to flash and get flash successful!
oh you might get a loading bar underneath the htc logo. this is normal. just make sure that in the terminal it said successful.

unplug and hold the power till it restarts.

now you are bone stock with stock recovery. this is the closest I've came to being stock since there currently isn't a RUU tool for the latest firmware. hope this helps. BIG THANKS TO bigdaddy619 for the input!

The Software Version - 1.29.651.10 refers to the software version of the rom you are running if you were to flash a rom based on 1.31.651.2 your software version in settings would reflect that.
Since you are s-on your phone most likely came with 1.31.651.2 why are you trying to go backwards? If you just want to go back to stock there is a stock 1.31.651.2 rom(rooted and unrooted) in Indirects thread.

There is not an RUU for 1.31.651.2 :(
I would suggest unlocking again
flash twrp 2.5.0.0
flash the Stock(no root) 1.31 rom in Indirect's thread
then relock again(your bootloader will say RE-LOCKED not LOCKED)

I kinda figured that I just had a brain fart about it. But when I flash a stock rom and relock bootloader it won't boot up I just keep booting into the bootloader. So if in was on an earlier version of 1.29.651.10 I would be able to relock and be stock, right?

Did you check the MD5 on the stock rom you were trying to flash maybe it was a bad download?

Same Issue As Techno Droid - ! SOS ! - 7 day old brick

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can assist me here, its been a week now without my phone due to my botched attempts to flash a custom rom. I have the exact same situation as TechnoDroid's initial post, and same exact fails. I tried Techno Droids fix, but am getting the following error from this command:
fastboot oem reboot RUU
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.001s]
finished. total time: 0.003s.

I've flashed the 1.31 stock ROM from Indirect's thread, and re-locked the bootloader, but I always get an OS that has no apps and begins a system boot loop after a few minutes.

Also, if I can find a compatible nandroid backup and flash it through TWRP would that be a possible fix?
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'll be looking into purchasing a backup phone from my MVNA, but would really like to unbrick this one since I paid full boat for an unlocked version!

- cheers
