Hey guys!!
I've had PAC-ROM on my M4 for quite a long time now, decided to go back to stock because of reasons today.. Everything's fine, used TWRP to recover my stock ROM - I've made a backup
Now, I got the message for the Sense 6 update and I was so happy, it downloaded successfully, everything's well at this point. I click on Install Now and it boots to TWRP and nothing else happens.. I can't find a way to update. Can someone please help? ;/
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Sorry if I haven't posted any helpful information, I don't know what to post So tell me if you need to know anything, I'll share it right away

Ok, thanks! I'll download it right away.. But here's an issue I got while installing the update with the previous recovery.. I get a phone with a red exclamation mark inside a triangle in the middle of updating.. any help ? ;s
Also, can you tell me is there a specific way of installing this recovery? Because there are multiple files and I don't know what to do with all of them ;/
Third edit:
I've just remembered fastboot flashed multiple partitions, so that's what they must be.. so I tried but I get errors on them except boot.img and recovery.img. The radio.img showed an error that the bootloader isn't the correct version or something..

I get the same error... the Phone with a red exclamation mark with a triangle around it.. Is it because I'm rooted. I just searched and it might be it..
Should I follow the guide on theunlockr.com / 2014 / 03 / 18 / unroot-htc-one-mini /
So.. Should I only lock the bootloader or completely unroot it?
I'll try with only locking the bootloader in a sec..
Ok, here's what happens when I use fastboot oem lock : snag.gy / CnD59.jpg .. The bootloader shows as "RELOCKED", which is good.. but I still fail to install the update.. But regarding the un-rooting process, on theunlockr what is posted the .exe is US.. I'm from Bulgaria, which is Europe.. and if I download a UK version of the .exe will it still work ?
Edit.. will a tool like Revolutionary work? I saw it just sets the phone to S-OFF

I know that you can't get OTA with unlocked bootloader and rooted, and I don't think you can do it with a re-locked bootloader either.
OTA also failed for me with a "locked" bootloader, where i used revone to set the bootloader to Locked rather than Relocked.
The only way i've gotten OTA to install was to run the Att Ruu.exe to restore to stock. If i run update immediately after that, it works. If i do other things, like unlock, root, etc, the oTA fails, just the same as yours is failing.
If you want sense 6, the easiest way, from where you are now, would be to flash twrp 2.7.1.1 recovery, then install the stock sense 6 rom in the development section. If you're not on the latest firmware (hboot 2.22) then the path is a little longer, as you will have to s-off, then update firmware, then flash sense 6 rom.

Ok, thanks for the info.. I don't know how to find my firmware.. It doesn't show up on the About phone menu.. I've gone to the bootloader and it isn't there as well.. if it's the hboot, my hboot is 2.21.0000, meaning it isn't 2.22.. ;/
Also.. can you tell me what *** TAMPERED *** means in the bootloader? Right above *** RELOCKED ***.
And what is the 'Att Ruu.exe'? I don't mind having no root, no unlocked bootloader, etc.. I want the pure HTC experience again..
Edit: I saw that 'Att Ruu.exe' stands for the AT&T model.. the thing is that mine isn't AT&T.. mine is international, I think.. doesn't have any other branding or whatsoever..

Hboot was what i was referring to when i said firmware. Sorry, but i don't have any experience with 2.21 so i don't know what ROMs you can flash with it. If i had to guess, i would think one of the older sense 5.5 roms in the dev section would work on it, but i've never been on 2.21, so i can't tell you which ones with any confidence. I don't think any of the sense 6 Roms will work for you, but, again, i don't know for sure as i've never been on 2.21.
Tampered i think comes up when you use custom recovery. I don't know exactly what triggers it, but i don't think just flashing custom recovery does. I think it might happen when you use custom recovery to flash a ROM. It's just a flag and nothing to worry about. It doesn't prevent you from doing anything.
RUUs are executable files that can restore your device to stock. They are carrier and location specific, so you need to make sure you use the one for your carrier and location, if it is available. I said ATT RUU becuase I'm on ATT in the US. RUU files aren't available for every carrier in every country. If you are in the US on Att, i can help you with this. If you are somewhere else or on a different carrier, i can't.

Oh, that's a shame ;//
First - is there a way I can update to 2.22 ? ;/
Second - I mentioned earlier I'm from Bulgaria, which is in Europe. Isn't there an international RUU ? ;(
I've unlocked my bootloader again as I think found a way to make the phone S-OFF.. I just have to root my phone again as it's not rooted -__- I don't want a custom ROM download, I want the stock one with no modifications or anything else.. ;/

Sorry. I missed where you said your location.
To upgrade your firmware, you have to s-off. There's a post somewhere around here that walks you through using revone, which I've done and had success with. I think I linked to it yesterday, so look through my old posts. If you can't find it, I'll send the link later.
But, yes, you have to be rooted to s-off.
I don't know about ruu for Bulgaria. Try looking on the HTC website, or your carrier's website.
The stock roms in the dev section seem to be pretty much 100% stock. I'm not a developer, so I don't know that they are for sure, but I think they are created directly from stock, just modified so you can flash then in recovery.

I'm now trying rumrunner but as I look at the command prompt, it most likely won't succeed as well ;/ Yep.. it failed, said ERROR: looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!

I'm rooted and with unlocked bootloader, installed CWM as well

Sorry. I've been there before. If i have time, i'll re-set my phone back to factory, s-on and see if i can remember what i did to fix that error. One possibility was that i didn't have a ROM installed, but i don't remember for sure. I'll see if I made any notes let you know if I remember what i did to fix.

Hi there been a while since I've flashed stuff on htc devices and i'm trying to get dev edition 1.55.617.4 rooted odex rom on my device, i'm s-off and super cid rom installs but won't boot, i'm presuming its boot. Img or firmware related? Just after info if I extract boot. Img and firmware from the rom and flash separately will this solve the issue and will it remove twrp?
Currently on dev edition 1.12.617.6 CL639737
Thanks for any advice

Change the SUPER CID to BS_0001, install the original RUU from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.56.617.1.exe, then proceed to install the TWRP and Root with Windroid.
Hi there it won't let me change the CID to what you've stated above it says invalid, also the link i think is for the ATT version, i'm in europe so believe i need the GSM version ?
I can change the CID to HTC__001 for example but not what you've quoted...
Really struggling to get my phone updated to 6.0.1 i've only had it a few days tried numerous methods but not getting anywhere fast I thought if i was S-off and Super CID you could pretty much flash anything as long as it was for your correct phone model ?
Hence me presuming my issue was more boot.img and recovery.img related ?
I downloaded the official Dev edition RUU from the HTC Dev download section but that won't install either...
Getting confused i'm sure i'm probably missing a pretty easy step somewhere...

I think you have the wrong forum ?
Got it sorted in the end, changed the info.txt file in the firmware to suit the phone, even though it said it failed when installing the firmware it had actually installed and then the 6.0.1 dev edition rooted rom installed... Happy days...
So i'm not sure if the Mid or Cid was the issue but either way when i changed the info.txt file to suit it worked...
Hi Guys,
I live in UK, am English and brought my HTC one A9, hiaeuhl, on eBay. Now I cannot seem to update using Cyanogenmod as getting error from TWRP. It's unlocked, and believe I need to update the kernel before I can use Cyanogenmod latest build?
The RUU information is HTC__622, the mid is 2PQ910000 and last build date of cyanogenmod is Tuesday Aug 30th, (bootloader) version:0.5
Now question is, do I use Sunshine mod to turn S-OFF and flash with custom RUU, if so which one do I need and are there any alternative good ROMS to CM which favour stability / battery life over features. I love CM but it's very quiet on the speakers and a bit slow sometimes.
Thank you,
Kieran
Yes use sunshine to s-off and flash custom ruu following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/development/s-off-convert-to-htc-usa-unlocked-1-12-t3271861 you could use this to convert to UK unlocked but it would be better to use USA, the firmware is much ahead and nougat will probably come faster. Go ahead and flash the ruu (btw you need new firmware, not kernel) via sdcard or exe. And then you can reinstall two and flash the newer cm13 versions.

I tried to use sunshine mod just now and it won't let me as I have Cyanogenmod rom at the moment. Do you think I should update to the stock RUU, then run sunshine, then after, do I have to re-unlock the bootloader? It was brought unlocked, but had to do some oem key thing, before I could flash cyanogenmod.
Thanks,
Kieran
No, you don't have to relock the bootloader but you do have to flash the most recent ruu for your phone, and make sure it's rooted, then it should work.

Yeah I just tried to root it. Haha, I don't know why but after I put the SuperSU zip on the root, it booted up fine but the drive was encrypted even though I didn't set a password. Just did a wipe and fixed it, but need to figue out how to root with zip without drive getting encrypted...
Yes, what you need to do is install the ruu, then superSU, then from twrp do a data reset. (if that doesn't work repeat but flash superSU once you do the data reset.
For some reason I am unable to install the ROM via RUU OR OTA update (manual or auto). I am getting a Error 132 (signature error). I am S-ON and RELOCKED.
Things I have already done/tried:
Made sure I have the correct RUU (it's the only one available as far as I know and it is for the HTC unlocked US variant).
Made sure my device is RELOCKED and stock recovery installed.
Tried multiple methods - including RUU (tried inside of the OS as well as in download mode/bootloader mode); OTA tried to flash manually inside of stock recovery, tried to download OTA (no update found), tried to flash firmware and OTA in custom recovery as well stock recovery.
Searched the forums relentlessly for answers to the 132 signature error. There doesn't seem to be a consensus answer.
Of note: My 'Software Status' is flagged as "MODIFIED," I'm wondering if that is preventing me from updating the HBOOT via RUU.
Please let me know if you can think of any solutions because I am stumped, and I'm sure the community could use a more definitive answer about the 132 Error as it seems to have been mention several times over the course of quite a few years.
Thanks guys

You need to be S-OFF for flash the Firmware and the 2.18 will not run if you dont have flashed the firmware. If you have an Unlocked USA you need tu run the 1.57 (the last one before 7.0), the status will be OFFICIAL and you can just update whit OTA in setting, information, update like a normal device or flash ota in the recovery stock, but you steel need 1.57.617.60 version and OFFICIAL status.

Hi, thanks for your response. I have run the latest RUU multiple times but it has failed to reset the software status to 'OFFICIAL.' I have even rolled back to the previous RUU, downloaded and installed the OTA for 1.57.617.60 and that too failed to reset the software status to official. Getting S-OFF for me is not currently an option so I'm wondering if there is a practicable alternative.
Thanks again

Take the ota.zip file and try to install it via the stock recovery, and see what errors you get. That is how I figured out what was wrong with mine ( wrong CID)

OK. Attempted to flash OTA in recovery and it appeared to be successful, however after rebooting out of recovery there was no OS loaded. Do you know of any way to reset the software status to official - because running the RUU(s) for the current base doesn't seem to work.
Thanks

Could it be that there is no way of resetting this status while S-ON?

I don't either. This is extremely frustrating just to get an update. If I've run the proper RUU I'm not sure how HTC doesn't make sure that it resets the software status.
At any rate, I will keep digging around the forums because I think this Error [132] deserves a proper solution.

Try installing this zip file with the stock recovery and relocked bootloader. This is how I upgraded to nougat, no problem

Thanks! I will try again with this file. Just curious... do you remember if you "Software Status" was 'MODIFIED'? And are you S-OFF?

It may literally be no way to update it with S-ON. It's cool because Sunshine is an option when I get a some extra cash but this seems to be a bit of a programming flaw on HTC's part.

Hey, thanks for the response. What is Ruin?
I've got S-OFF, Software Status: Official, Relocked boot loader, CID: BS_US001, Current ROM: 1.57.617.60
I've been getting the same "Error 132: Signature Error" when trying to flash the 2.18.617.1 RUU.
Attempted to flash the most recent RUU I had (1.57.617.41), which was successful. Attempted the 2.18.617.1 RUU again, same issue.
Tried changing the CID to 11111111 and tried flashing the RUU, still getting Error 132.
Tried pushing the 2.18.617.1 OTA via ADB Sideload and got "assert failed: check_cid("00000000", etc...)" error
Changed CID back to BS_US001 and started pushing the OTA updates (1.57.617.52, 1.57.617.60, 2.18.617.1) one by one via ADB Sideload
All of the OTA installs were successful.
Now, only getting the white screen with the HTC logo.
Ran 2.18.617.1 RUU again, ran fine this time.
Still only getting the white screen with the HTC logo.
Not terribly excited about the direction this is going...

Try installing the TWRP, look around at the system files. Is anything there? You might have to wipe everything and try the ruu again.
Maybe try rebooting into "fastboot OEM rebootRUU" then once that loads, type "fastboot flash <name of your ruu.zip>" from your computer

so just so I'm clear:
Flash OTA (in Recovery)?
Then immediately start the RUU?
Hey All,
Apologies if this is obvious but I couldn't figure it out myself looking at the FAQ's etc.
I just purchased a new HTC One A9 which was carrier unlocked by AT&T, and I want to convert from the RUU version they use (1.27.502.5) to the latest version that HTC has released on their website - 2.18.617.10 .
However, when I go to do this using that RUU, I get signature error 132. My phone is bootloader locked and S-ON, but from reading a little, I thought that shouldn't matter because I have a US phone, and you only need to change the CID/MID stuff (whatever those are) if you're in a different region?
How would I go about doing this? From reading through a bunch of posts, do I first need to switch to an unlocked version of Marshmallow, before then upgrading to Nougat?
Edit: Upon further reading, does the fact that the 502 in my current version does not match 617 in the one I wish to upgrade to mean that I can't do this with S-on? Do I need S-off? If so, how do I do that? Is it only by purchasing sunshine?
Thank you for your time!
Best,

In order to convert to another carrier version, you must change your CID and MID to match the RUU version you want to flash. .617 uses the same MID as .502 so you'll need to change your CID only from CWS__001 to BS_US001. Changing CID does requires S-OFF (Sunshine is the best way unless you know someone with a XTC2Clip box).
You'll also need to update your firmware to Nougat before flashing the Nougat RUU because of the signature change implemented in Nougat.

Okay thanks so much Two more quick questions.
1) Does changing to S-off have any consequences in terms of a future update? I'm guessing it will void my warranty, but say I wanted to go back to using AT&T's version of android. Would the fact that my phone is now S-off prevent me from using their RUU (assuming I change the CID back.) I guess my question is, warranty aside, is there really any negative to turning S-off?
2) This is more out of curiosity. HTC One Phones that were sold unlocked/developer that are currently running Marshmallow can be upgraded to Nougat without flashing the firmware to 2.xx.xxx.x right? So if I was to change my current CID to that of a developer One A9, and install that Marshamallow RUU say (1.57.617.60), why wouldn't I be able to simply update from within the OS as they do?
Thanks again for your time.

You would simply have to revert your CID back to CWS__001 and flash the at&t ruu. Changing the cid is easily done.

S-off gives you full control and access to all partitions which mean there is no more mechanism preventing you to flash incompatible software/firmware on your phone. Once s-off, be sure to understand what you're doing before flashing files. The risk is limited if you'll only be converting to another version or flashing custom roms but if you're going to explore a little deeper yeah it can be dangerous.

All A9 can simply be updated from the OS, not only the unlocked/dev version. The reason why you need to flash the firmware first before flashing a RUU is that HTC changed their encryption signature in Nougat. That mean your phone need the new decryption key to be able to flash Nougat RUU. Flashing the firmware first will update your phone with the new key, making it able to flash Nougat RUU.
There is a firmware.zip file inside ota updates. When you install an ota update from the OS, the first thing that is flashed on your phone is that firmware.zip. So no you don't need to manually flash the firmware because it's done automatically in the ota process.
Yes you could flash the 1.57.617.30 ruu and do the ota update after. It's just faster to flash the Nougat firmware first and the Nougat RUU instead of flashing the Marshmallow RUU and downloading + installing 2 ota udpates, well that's my opinion. Both methods will give the same result.

Edit2: I figured out the problem. I had to boot into the bootloader and then run
Code:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
before I could run the RUU sucessfully. Am leaving the rest of this post up just so that other people googling this have a touch point.
Okay so I've used Sunshine to turn s-off and unlock my bootloader. I then changed my CID to BS_US001.
I then tried to install the HTC version of Marshmallow (maybe silly, but heard people having issues with Nougat and the battery) using the RUU.exe file. It started successfully, but then halfway though, after it had transferred the ROM over, it threw an ERROR155 and aborted, leaving my phone with an empty progress bar, and that circular green arrow icon in the middle. I used the command line to restart my device and had to factory wipe it, but otherwise not the worse for wear.
I tried googling it; do I need to relock my bootloader for the RUU.exe files to work? I think the Sunshine FAQ recommended against doing that. Is this a risky step?
Edit: Here are some instructions I found from the HTC One M8 firmware flashing thread. My error says "unknown" but I imagine its similar.
For “Error 155 relock bootloader" do:
- Since my thread works only with S-OFF phones anyway, this error can be read as: you need to S-OFF first!
- Error 155 can mean that you need SuperCID. On a few occasions this was shown when the RUU/FUU refused to run because of a wrong region lock.
- Lately, Error 155 has occurred when a FUU was launched from within android. When encountering a FUU error 155 with the process stalling after the rebootRUU (stuck at black screen with silver HTC logo), please just restart the FUU and leave the phone in that mode, or reboot the phone, then reboot to bootloader, then do “htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU” and then launch the FUU again (thanks @anarchychris for pointing it out).
- run the fastboot command “htc_fastboot oem lock" - only applies to S-ON phones that want to update the firmware with a stock OTA package (not offered on this thread!!). Stock OTA files sometimes need a locked bootloader.

How do I get started to do this. How do I find out my mid Cid and if I need to change? How do I flash firmware first? I have android 6.0 software 1.27.502.5. I have done a run before but never changed from a carrier. I went to the link above but I don't know what some if this means and where to start and what steps to take in order.
