[Q] T-Mobile Uk RUUs

I've been going through some Rom/Flashing issues with my HTC One S and having the RUU for my device to start all over again flashing back to stock recovery, relocking the phone and using the RUU to get myself back to stock.
To give you a run down. I just got my phone and I've spent the last month figuring this whole thing out due to this amazing online community on here.
I use TWRP 2.2 as my recovery, unfortunately I dived in, and failed to back up my original non-rooted stock Rom but that's still ok.
[I know nooby but bearing in mind this has all taken place within like, two weeks.] I used to switch effortlessly between MIUI v4 and the stock rooted HTC Sense 4.0.4 android just by backing up and restoring the roms but then I flashed to Paranoid Android and I think I fiddled with something during that flashing process which is why I'm probably getting some arbitrary technical issues now and I'd like to start over!
So anyways, any of you fine gentlemen and possibly ladies out there who could point me in the direction of a Uk HTC One S T-mobile RUU?
Thanks

Unfortunately none. I need one, too.

What do you need yours for exactly? Maybe I can help you out

I have a tampered bootloader, and the flag needs to be reset. That's why I need one. And I have a T-Mobile CID.

I know there are ways to tamper and/or change the CID but I don't particularly want to do that myself.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I can't change CID, because I don't have an unlocked bootloader.

You can use hassoon's HTC one s all in one kit to unlock the bootloader can't you?

Do a full wipe, flash something like ARHD, change the CID, flash HTC Europe RUUs.

Yes, but I don't want to root... I need to restore from an RUU because that will remove my tampered flag.

I had a similar issue with my orange uk branded one s but after installing twrp i was able to change my cid from orange to a generic htc cid. I then re installed stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and then was able to install the european ruu. This worked fine and bootloader no longer says tampered although it does say relocked. I believe this is the best you can get if the bootloader has been unlocked at some stage.

How do you change the CID using twrp? What rom do you flash?

fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
I have never unlocked though. Only tampered. So it's still locked but tampered.

Help!

I have a friend's HTC One X (At&t) that he rooted and unlocked the bootloader and he was attempting to install a rom. I don't know what failed but he ended up relocking the bootloader and wiping the phone somehow and now it does NOT have any type of recovery. I can get into fastboot but any attempt to flash anything gives a signature failed error. I am familer with Moto and Samsung but not so much with HTC. Any help would be appreciated greatly.:fingers-crossed:

Just put your phone in fastboot mode, and I assume he has super CID, because he had unlocked bootloader initially. Try to unlock bootloader from HTC Dev. Web site, after unlocking bootloader find twrp on development forum and flash it in fastboot mode. Then you will be able to flash Rom.

Run an ruu and tell him to read more

S-off boot loader question

If you relocked and ran a ruu, and decided you want to unlock your boot loader again do you have to use your unlock token? Or with s-off can you just unlock in fast boot (fastboot oem unlock)?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

S-off bypasses bootloader lock. There is no reason you would need to unlock bootloader for anything.

Damn i wish i wouod have kniwn this last night lol... Wanted everything 100% fresh, so i relocked, ran the ruu, then got the unlock token from htcdev lol... I couod have shaved some time from the whoke process
Whats the best method redpoint? I tried to fastboot twrp while i was locked after ruu and i kept failing.... Would i be able to simply "fastboot oem unlock"?

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I'm sure fastboot oem unlock would work... You should be failing to install twrp there is no need of the bootloadrr unlocking...what's the process your taking to install twrp

I know you're quite intelligent and I'm not trying to step on your intelligence..but are you sure your putting in the right commands for twrp?

Fastboot flash recovery openrecoveryblahblahblah
I know the commands... Once I unlocked through htcdev it was success the first time I fastbooted it... I'm just trying to learn about the advantages of s-off lol.

Weird.
I had RUU'd my phone (to remove tampered flag) and left it s-off
At this point it says ***RELOCKED*** AND s-off
Attempted to "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
Error: remote not allowed
Didn't work until I unlocked my bootloader again. :s

Did you lock your boot loader prior to ruuing?
And could you unlock by just fastboot OEM unlock?
Or did you have to do the whole token thing?

i think i left it unlocked.. and no, I had my unlock token on a USB from the first time.

If you guys just want it to say locked and are s off I'll post up a unsigned hboot you can just flash......I'll need a quick tester but it should be fine
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

My main thing is knowing if I have to lock the boot loader to running a ruu now. You used to have to. Wondering because if I end up selling the phone to a user who doesn't root, flash, etc...and I want to get it to stock...do I lock or not.

If your s-off just keep it locked. Unlocking doesn't give you any extra benefit

Can I still issue fast boot commands with s-off but locked boot loader?

Should be able to. Just keep it locked and flash a recovery to test it.

Weird. Either something else is going on here, or it violates the definition if S-off, which us supposed to mean all security is off.
Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA using xda app-developers app

Yep... But like I said earlier, as soon as I unlocked via htcdev process, I did the exact same command and it was a successful fastboot flash... But i haven't a clue, this is the first device I've ever had that was s-off ...
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Its just the bootloader doing what its supposed to do then. Evita will probably get a eng hboot at some point so it doesn't need to be unlocked and s off. In the mean time I would just keep it unlocked with s off I suppose. There's so many things I want to check with s off now but can't get my hands on one anymore
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

so weird.. I just wanted to start fresh like inflated. so I got the 1.85 ruu after I was s-off. it finished without issues, rebooted to BL and its unlocked. so problems if you relock first? just throwing it out there

A question...

So my onex is unlocked and supercid. But I installed the ota. My cid is still 111111 and my bootloader is unlocked. Is there any way to install recovery and root?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Can you get to bootloader?
If so, it's just a matter of fastboot flash recovery [filename], then copy over a rooted rom and flash.

[Q] TWRP Not Loading

First thing I did was root with [ROOT] One Click HTC One X (AT&T/Rogers/Others) (Win/Mac/Linux)
Then I installed GooManager and installed Open Recovery Script
Then I turned off my phone then turned it on with power and volume down button
I get to the screen that says ***TAMPERED*** ***LOCKED***
It says:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.09
Radio-0.16.32.09.01_3
etc.
I'm not able to load TWRP here to flash my roms. What am I doing wrong? Please let me know because I cannot stand the ATT bloatware
My One X Stats:
4.0.3 Android Version
4.0 HTC Sense Version
1.7.3 Software
4.11 HTC SDK API
Thank you!

Download the latest twrp image to your pc. Check the md5 matches. Connect your phone to pc in fastboot and in command prompt type fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery file" without quotations.

In your bootloader under Cid, what does it say right now?
And is it an at&t phone or no?

Super CID, then unlock bootloader through HTCDEV.com
SuperCID spoofs your CID so you can unlock from HTCDEV since AT&T phones cannot be unlocked by default, it tricks HTC into thinking it's not an AT&T Phone and allows you to unlock.
Once your bootloader is unlocked then you can flash recovery as you cannot write to the recovery with a Locked bootloader.
Make sense? Good. that being said, if you're not too sure what you're doing, why on earth do you want to root your phone?

Ahh, okay so I unlocked and now I was able to install TWRP. Thank you so much for the help. I'm still new at all this but I'm starting to understand it.

Anytime friend. Hopefully I have not put you off to asking for help. It is in your best interest to read thoroughly before proceeding with any flashing. Also, now that you are super Cid' I suggest not RUUing until such a time that you are S-OFF. Good luck, have fun

Now you should make sure you are on TWRP 2.3.3.0. It will prevent future troubles.
