Hi,
for some Reason the RUU doesn't work. I want to go back to a stock ROM without root and a locked hboot, but I get an Error 170 (Connection-Error?) The Cable and the connection have to be alright, since the device works as an mass-storage-device without problems. I tried running the ruu on different Roms and running it with the phone in hboot, but nothing works.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

RUU should work with this. I don't know what RUU did you try but I recommend 2.3. Also, take a look at installed programs in your computer, maybe you have some other drivers installed besides Sync.
You said that usb mass storage is working, maybe it's a partial usb brick, so you can try to install 4ext recovery and try a fix and then to try RUU.
Also, try reinstalling of HTC Sync, then after reinstall reboot the phone into bootloader and connect to see if you will get drivers installed.
i can't use a 2.3 RUU, since I'm in Germany and it doesn't work here, but I'll try your other tips, thank you

Why you can't? It's made for all regions and all versions of devices, I've never heard such thing.
okay, maybe we are talking about different things. I'm talking about the HTC Gingerbread RUU for Desire, which is said to not receive SMS / MMS in Germany
The latest Froyo-RUU I found for the Desire is:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32.U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Is this the one I should use?
I tried reinstalling htc-sync and everything else that was installed with it and rebooted to bootloader like you said, I then got the following:

I didn't know about the issue with sms/mms, and i meant on that upgrade.
Well, I'm not sure about than FroYo RUU cause it depends on the fact how you bought your Desire and if it was brended. If it wasn't brended that's the one.

Ok, go to htc developers site, kernel source code section, choose other in filter and click on find files. The last file listed marked as N/A, size 5,5MB is USB driver, download and install it.
Before that try to restart your PC and then to connect phone in bootloader.
yes, thanks a lot!!! bootloader didn't work (batterypower said to be below 30% when in fact battery was full) so I switched over to fastboot, installed the drivers from your link again and tada, now it worked thanks a lot
edit: or so I thought, it went through until right to the end where it said something about checking signatures. it was after sending all the files over there. then it suddenly said error in user-id data or something like that..? (Error [131])
edit: goldcard solved that problem, so everything solved now, thanks

I told you that all depends on how you bought your phone, and it ended up that it was branded in some way.
I'm glad you made it.
yap, didn't know that it originally had been a branded phone, got it with a different Rom on it thanks for all your help

Hey guys, I really need some assistance. I had rooted my phone a couple weeks back and now it runs the latest TWRP. Currently I have a System Update for my phone, but everytime I try to update it brings me to the TWRP Recovery menu and I dont know what to do from there. I had attempted to unroot my phone as well and that has also failed. If there is someone who can help me out with this problem, I'd be extremely grateful.

probably easiest to flash the RUU for t-mobile. you can get it from http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You will have to relock the bootloader first from what i have heard unless you are s-off. relocking the bootloader is fastboot oem lock
I'm in the same boat. Can you even do the update through TWRP?
I'm also not sure I even rooted this properly (new to HTC) for the reason of whenever I plug in the charger when the phone is powered off, I get this orange type of text warning then it flickers to the TWRP screen before finally displaying the charging animation.

What does that mean?
Look through the 4.4.3 post. Plenty of info in that post.
I ran firewater and it started off at 1 bottle something... It then stopped and said something about my boot loader being patched??? So does that mean I can't unlock my phone? I have the T-Mobile HTC one m8 version.
I have a computer that runs Windows 8.1 if that's any use or help.

The message was: kernel contains HTC anti-firewater patch! ?
Try this.
If the message wasn't this, google the real message to find similar situations.
Its not clear whether you understand the difference between bootloader unlock and S-off. S-off isn't needed to unlock the bootloader, root, flash ROMs, etc.

Then your title is confusing. To me, it means you are having issues unlocking the bootloader.
Make sure you are on stock ROM, stock kernel, and some say even stock recovery. If firewater still doesn't work, you will need to use sunshine.
FYI, stock ROM and kernel are recommended for sunshine, as well.
Thanks for everyone who tried to help. I tried firewater again and again and got s-off and super cid finally. Just guess luck was on my side.

Sometimes vigilance pays off.
What version of Sense are you on? I tried to do it the other day, also t-mobile, when I go to the final command line, nothing happens.
I have a HTC One (m7) from Verizon. I have been trying to root my phone from my iMac. I followed the steps in SAKITECH youtube video. Everything works fine until I get to the HTCDEV site and put in my ID Token. I get an error code saying MID NOT ALLOWED. I have tried it probably 100 times and it will not work, I actually attempted so much that it locked me out (exceed unlock limit), I had to create a new account and still cannot get it to go.
Any suggestions?
The Verizon m7 was blocked from the HTC dev site a long time ago.

1st , the search button on Xda is key. What u will find,is that ever since the 2nd day of the HTC one's release of the Verizon variant, htcdev has been blocked by Verizon, and unlocking bootloader via htcdev is impossible on Verizon model. Depending on which hboot and android/software version your running,there are different options. However, if your 4.4.2 or above, chances are, your only option is Sunshine , which unlocks your bootloader and S-offs your device, but it costs $25, however it's well worth it. (i believe some ppl have said firewater which is free HAS worked on 4.4.2, but rarely. I know4.4.3s ONLY option is Sunshine)

ARHD is for other variants. Try ViperDNA or one of Santod's modified stock roms. A good sense kernel is either the one made by brymaster5000 or Kangaroo kernel.

Generally,when it comes to custom roms/kernels ,stick to the ones in the Verizon M7 thread and if you're really wanting one outta the HTC one forums, SPECIFICALLY check with the devs if it's compatible with our carrier variant..

+ 1 on brymaster5000 s ELITE LUNAR kernel, ALSO highly recommend ElementalX, there IS a working Verizon build, I've been running it awhile now and love it. Haven't tried Kangaroo yet, but heard great things, and Xceed Synapse, although that seems a lot more advanced/complicated if you're not too familiar with custom kernels..

ARHD from what I've read is NOT compatible with the Verizon M7... I could be wrong, but ARHD isn't listed in the Verizon M7 development forums,and what I've read from the regular M7 ARHD thread ALSO suggests that ARHD isn't compatible.. so that's probably your problem. Flashing roms that aren't compatible with your device will cause unwanted consequences. I'm not big into custom Roms, I'm more into kernels and mods, but if you're looking for a good Sense based Rom, try Viper, NuSense or Bonestock, among others. But like I said, the problem seems to be that your trying to run ARHD, which isn't compatible with Verizon's model of the M7... Revert to a Nandroid backup, or flash a different Rom...

OK, New Problem. I downloaded and installed the STOCK RUU (Debloated) and it installed booted and I keep getting Error Messages. "Unfortunately, com.android.systemUI has Stopped" and "Unfortunately, android.process.core has stopped". I had this problem initially with Liquid Smooth but after a FACTORY RESET (thru bootloader) and a fresh install (thru recovery) it was fine, but I didn't have any apps, and more importantly, GOOGLR PLAY STORE. And now I cannot get into Settings to turn FASTBOOT off - therefore I cannot get into recovery to attempt to reinstall.

Plug phone into PC. Open a command window (start menu, search cmd and hit enter) then type "adb reboot bootloader"
Or just hold the power button until device reboots right when it reboots hold the vol down key while still pressing the power button. You should reboot to bootloader. Then select recovery.

I cannot get into boot loader bc I think fast boot is enabled, when I shut down phone and press volume down and power it just boots the phone normally. My phone is currently booting, shutting down, and rebooting all on its own. I cannot stop it. I cannot get into settings to turn FASTBOOT off b my phone doesn't do anything when I click on settings, and only stays on for about 30 seconds and then reboots again.
I have a mac. But I tried using terminal to reboot boot loader but it will not pick up my device

I got it rooted. I used SUNSHINE to get bootloader unlocked
Hi all ,
i've been cracking my head on this one and cant figure it out :
I have an ATT One M8 with Viper installed.
I want to S-off and put an unbranded RUU.
now, when I run adb devices while the device is on, I get the serial number.
When I reboot to bootloader adb doesnt return anything, which causes moonshine to fail on test #2 (adb).
I've tried reinstalling the driver a gazilion times, tried 3 different cables, all USB ports on my laptop + a desktop - nothing.
actually it somehow got worse - now I cant see adb devices even when device is on.
any ideas?
thanks in advance
Adb only works in the OS or custom recovery. In the bootloader only fastboot commands work !
And s-off for the m8 is called Sunshine and not moonshine ! And sunshine only works with a stock OS, viper is highly modded so that will never work at all !
Thanks, but I found the moonshine tool which is said to s off also... You can see it at moonshine.io ...
When the tool runs it boots to bootloader and tries to reboot using adb from there, I guess that's why it's failing, I just can't understand how to get around it.

Was sure I saw some posts here about it working.
So you're saying sunshine won't work either cause I'm on viper rom ?

Then you should not blame at&t but yourself, you took one from them i assume. Taking a shot at at&t here is easy and very unnecessary !!!
And exactly that's what i am saying on the viper rom. Try it but there is no guarantee it works on that rom as its very modded !
Cheers
Was my first android and first time buying from abroad, had no idea that att blocks hotspot tethering and crap like that, we don't have those limitations where I live.
What annoys me is that if I don't live in the US, why don't they allow me to remove those limitations? Annoying..

Actually, that's not true. You can get S-Off with ViperOne.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63856695&postcount=4040
But I would imagine you would have to run Sunshine before making too many tweaks/mods. I'm not sure about that though.
EDIT: Although it should work; and I'm a Venom team member as well; I usually recommend MaximusHD ROM for S-Off
Thanks.
So going forward I should flash maximus , s off and install the ruu?
I need to get my device back to stock unbranded condition..

That's an option yes. As i also stated in one of my previous posts you can try it on viper, but no guarantee is given.
