[GUIDE] How to extract RUU & manually flash rom.zip HTC One M7

So, you may have made a bad flash, having trouble to S-OFF or just want to go back to 100% stock ROM and recovery. In that case, the easiest solution is to run your RUU (ROM Update Utility). But unlike the conventional method, this guide is about extracting the rom.zip from your RUU for a faster and more comprehensive installation. The extracted rom.zip will also allow the possibility to decrypt the RUU in order to get access to all the individual files inside the encrypted archive. So, if you want to flash, for example, only the stock recovery, you can do it without having to flash the entire RUU ROM, which will restore the phone's entire software.
Note: Your HTC One can be either S-ON or S-OFF in order to successfully flash RUU rom.zip. But if your device is S-OFF, you do not need to re/lock your bootloader.
Follow the instructions in the given order to avoid any hiccups or possible bricking of your device:
1. You will need to know your HTC One's MID and CID. These codes will allow you to find the required RUU for your phone.
You need adb and fastboot. Go to your Bootloader. Select Fastboot. Connect your HTC One with its original USB cable to your PC. Do:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and you should see a list of important information about your device. In particular, note the modelid (MID) and cidnum (CID). If you get nothing, there is an issue with the USB connection between your phone and PC.
2. Find the correct RUU. Here's a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276 to find the correct RUU from the filename but more importantly, make sure that both the MID and CID match exactly with your device. You also need to pay attention if you need the M7 UL or M7 U version, which is in the filename of the RUU. If you can't find your RUU from that site, just google or search on XDA. However, not all HTC One variants have RUUs. But if you are already S-OFF, you can change your MID and CID, which will allow you to use any RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820
3. Extract the RUU and grab the rom.zip file. This is the most important file you need from the RUU and afterwards you can delete the RUU exe if you want. To get the rom.zip from your RUU exe file, you just need to run the RUU exe file once, and then when the window is ready and waiting for you to press on the "Next" button, just leave it open and go to your temp folder. I'm using Windows XP SP3 32-bit and my temp folder is located at this path: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp
Now, you will see several files and folders. Sort everything in that temp folder based on "Date Modified" with the most recent folder showing up above all other folders. This is the folder you want. The folder name will be bunch of letters and numbers. Inside that folder you will find several files, but what you need is rom.zip and android-info.txt. Copy both these files and paste them somewhere safe on your hard drive. The android-info.txt contains crucial information about the compatibility of that RUU for your phone. Here's the android-info.txt extracted from my RUU exe:
Code:
modelid: PN0711000
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__J15
cidnum: HTC__A48
cidnum: HTC__M27
mainver: 1.29.401.2
btype:1
aareport:1
DelCache:1
hbootpreupdate:3
You can then verify that you have the correct RUU if the modelid matches that of your phone and if you can see your cidnum in that list. If either (or both) of the modelid or cidnum does not match that of your phone, the RUU process will fail. The mainver is the firmware that is going to be flashed onto your phone.
For easy reference, create a new folder and name it exactly like the RUU exe file and put the rom.zip and android-info.txt in there so you won't have trouble identifying that rom.zip file later if you need to flash it again. Now, you can close the RUU installation window and all the files in that temp folder containing rom.zip will be instantly erased. Note that if you open the rom.zip with Winzip/Winrar, you will see a list of all the files but if you try to extract or double-click to open any of these files, you will get an error saying that the file is corrupt. This warning is only due to the files being encrypted by HTC, since the RUU is an official release and is digitally signed. To access those encrypted files, you will need to decrypt them on Linux.
4. Go to your bootloader. Do:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
This will reboot your HTC One and you will see a black screen with a silver HTC logo.
Now, you will need to access the rom.zip file and flash it. I have copied my rom.zip to my adb folder located at: C:/mini-sdk/rom.zip
So, i type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip C:/mini-sdk/rom.zip
Don't touch anything during the flash process. It will start and after some time, you will see FAILED error. Don't worry, it's the file preparation process if you have firmware higher than that of the RUU. Just do the same command again and the flash process will complete successfully this time. Look at the Command Prompt to know when the flash is complete. At the same time if you look at your phone, you will notice a green progress bar. When the flashing is complete on the Command Prompt, you will notice that the green bar is stuck at about 95%. This is normal. It's just a bug in the progress bar - what matters is the output from the Command Prompt window.
5. Then, you reboot. Do:
Code:
fastboot reboot
This will restart your phone. Let it boot up. It might take a little longer for the first boot up sequence. You will then have completely stock software (firmware & ROM). Go to your bootloader and check. Your S-ON/OFF and Bootloader lock/unlock are unchanged from before the RUU rom.zip flashing procedure. You can now also receive OTA updates.
I hope this has been helpful. Just press the THANKS button! :good:

If you're S-OFF you do NOT need to relock the bootloader to flash an RUU - just putting that out there

Opening android-Info.txt
Hey man,
as first thanks a lot, i got it all thanks to you but i'm still having trouble finding the right RUU.
I know you said that opening android-info.txt would help, and that it wont work with WinRar.. which i can see.
I have downloaded the .zip RUU, so.. my question is how do i open this txt file if not without WinRar.
Thanks again

You don't know how to open a .txt extension file? :cyclops:
Just use any text viewer/editor. I use Notepad++ and you can download it here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

4A.17.3250.14 is baseband version
you need to search for an RUU based on cidnum and model id
judging from your cid .. "HTC_K18" ..its kinda rare .. i think your cid belongs to Israel and to my knowledge there is no RUU for your model

Lol that's not what that error is. That's a signature verify fail and I'm pretty sure that means they're trying to flash an unsigned file or a file for another CID on a phone with security on.

Didn`t work

Yes i got S-ON please help me what can i do to make it work

Iam using mac, can i use this steps or not? I have sucseed to unlock my htc one S-on but when i try to do recovery the mobile stucks every time ,

@DrDrake23
To find the correct RUU compatible with your HTC One, you need to look at these information:
modelid: PN0710000
cidnum: HTC__032
Then search for the RUU. I was able to find 2 versions at this location: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
Also, according to this list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445289 your CID matches the region HTC-EastEurope HTC__032
These 2 RUU's should work for your device. You need to use only one of these.
RUU M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.20.401.1 Radio 4A.13.3227.06 10.27.1127.01 Release 308001 Signed 2 4
or
RUU M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.28.401.7 Radio 4A.13.3231.27 10.31.1131.05 Release 310878 Signed
It is usually recommended to use the most recent RUU. In this case, you should first try the 1.28.401.7 RUU.
However, read the description in the comment section on the site for each of these RUU's.
From your phone information:
version-main: 3.62.401.1
This means that you will need to S-OFF first before you are able to run the RUU since your main version is higher than both of these RUU's.
On another note, you should always read up and do enough research before attempting to modify your phone. Do you really need to go back to 100% stock? You could simply flash a stock ROM or even better, a custom ROM. But if you believe you need to return your device to 100% stock condition, start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488772 and then you can flash hboot 1.44 and finally run the RUU.

I tested the entire procedure successfully on my Windows XP SP3 32-bit. So, i cannot say if this would work on another OS or if the commands would be the same for that matter. Maybe someone with a Mac can confirm and help you out.

I have heard that its better and safer to change the S-On to S-Off but no luck yet. this guide looks great but i might wait to be secure so i dont brick the phone trying to.
Take care and thanks for replying ..

This process saved me.
I had a bad flash and could not get adb to recognize my device.
Just a quick note, bootlocker must be re-locked if you on S-on.
Thanks for the help man!

[GUIDE][S-ON] Restore your (European) HTC One M8 back to stock

Hi all,
I've created a simple guide to restore your HTC One M8 back to stock firmware while still being on S-ON.
This guide will provide you with all the files required to restore your EUROPEAN device back to stock.
If you have an device from another region, you'll need to find the RUU & recovery image yourself. (see below)
Prerequisites:
- HTC Drivers (just install HTC Sync and the included drivers, then remove HTC Sync)
- Fastboot package
- Stock recovery.img (you'll need the recovery.img with the same fw version as the RUU you're going to flash) (Link to 4.16.401.10 recovery.img for European non-carier devices)
- The RUU for your region/carrier. (Link to 4.16.401.10 for European non-carier devices)
If you have an USA /USA carrier device, go here for the RUU files
If you have an device from another region than Europe or USA, good luck finding the correct RUU
Look here to find recovery.img files for all regions (thanks to @exocetdj)
Because this guide is intended for S-ON, only the RUU for your region/carrier will work.
If you don't have an RUU or cannot find one for your region/carrier, S-OFF your device and follow this guide to restore your HTC One M8 back to stock. (thanks to @EddyOS)
After you've gone trough all steps;
- The red text during boot will be gone
- You'll have the stock firmware, system, recovery and boot.img
- Your bootloader will say "Relocked"
- Your bootloader will say "Software status: Official"
Let's start:
Step 1:
Start the RUU exe by double clicking on it, it will take a few seconds before it starts. After it has started, do not continue but go to your temp folder (type %TEMP% in your address bar)
Find the folder with the temporary files from the RUU (mine was called: {C48DBAA3-1CC0-4DF6-B069-B9CCB27F93C9})
Inside this folder there should be a few files and another folder with a long code as name (mine was called: {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B})
Inside this folder, scroll down until you find rom.zip, open this file
Extract boot_signed.img and place it in a folder with the downloaded stock recovery and the fastboot.exe file
Now close the RUU installation wizard
Step 2:
Turn off your device
Hold VOL-Down + Power, after a few seconds you'll be in the bootloader. Now release the buttons
Navigate with the volume buttons to fastboot and confirm with the power button.
Step 3:
You should now have a folder with the following files:
- fastboot.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- boot.img (extracted from the rom.zip)
- recovery.img (see prerequisites)
Inside the folder while holding shift, click right mouse and choose Open command window here
Before starting, it's recommended to rename the recovery file to recovery.img and the kernel to boot.img
Type the following commands in order (make sure to check the output and see if every command is successful before executing the next command)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot oem lock
This will push the stock kernel & recovery and relock your device.
Step 4:
Open the RUU installation wizard again and follow the instructions.
It will start flashing the RUU on your device.
After 8-12 minutes, the installation will be complete and your device will boot into system.
Step 5: (optional)
Power off your device
Hold VOL-Down + Power, after a few seconds you'll be in the bootloader. Now release the buttons
Verify that your bootloader says "Relocked" & "Software status: Official"
Congratulations, your device is back to stock again. After it's finished booting and optimizing 261(!) pre installed apps, you'll be greeted by the setup wizard on your phone.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Common problems:
Fastboot cannot find my device?
- try reinstalling the HTC drivers included with HTC Sync, and make sure to remove HTC Sync afterwards but leaving the drivers installed
I've got error 155 when trying to flash the RUU
- make sure your bootloader is locked. This tool only works when you have stock kernel, recovery and your bootloader is locked or relocked.

This is a great guide for those that just want to return to stock for their own purposes. However, this will not be enough for sending the phone into warranty, for that you'll need to take a few more steps with S-Off to get that RELOCKED flag to say LOCKED.

From my experience with HTC warranty repairs, they don't really care about the bootloader being 'relocked', S-Off is a more common cause for them to not repair the device.
But, above differs per repair center / per country

You are S-ON so you need to relock the bootloader and run the ruu.
If you want to give all info to work with you need to post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar all
Delete the serial and imei and post the list here.
Or check the firmware & nand backup thread here in the general section. Restore the stock rom and recovery and perform ota updates which also will upgrade the firmware

From my experience with HTC warranty repairs, they don't really care about the bootloader being 'relocked', S-Off is a more common cause for them to not repair the device.
But, above differs per repair center / per country
Where did you bought your device?

Has nothing to do with where he bought it from, it is depending on the phones hardware & software, for all we know its imported.
The specs are important not where he got it from. And you can't tie it down on how repair centers handle the phones....that's a matter of good luck !

I bought it second-hand from Qatar if you mean country.

Hi. I tried to use this guide but it I couldn't follow it through. I have relocked, tempered, S-ON, CID : TMOB102 phone. It is stuck in the HTC logo after a full wipe from twrp. I don't have OS, and the main version is empty. So far I have tried all the European RUU which gave CID error and 2 T-Mobile RUU's with MID error both. Can anyone give me a suggestion?

Problem extracting boot_signed.img
When I try to extract the boot_signed.img akk I get from Winzip is "cant find central directory"
Any ideas??

This is a great guide for those that just want to return to stock for their own purposes.

Hi,
I just needs to get OTA on my phone and i dont mind it being tampered or unlocked.
Will this method work on my phone ?

Please check if your device is unlocked. You can't flash boot.img's while on a locked bootloader.

You are using the wrong command ! It's :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
NOT
Fastboot boot boot.img ! That's why you got stuck. And indeed make sure the bootloader is UNLOCKED before you flash !
While i don't even know flashing the boot.img and recovery seperatly first is actually needed because all that's needed is to relock the bootloader and run the ruu.exe or the temp rom.zip via sd card.
afaik the ruu method takes care of the boot.img and recovery on its own.

Got a problem with 3rd command (locking oem) in step 3. It goes like this:

Now my phone is stuck on my ROM's boot logo and now I can't access bootloader.
EDIT:
I've managed to access bootloader by holding power + volup and then holding vol down. After that installing via RUU went smooth.

Hi, I followed your instructions, but before I could start with 4th device booted up and i accidentaly accepted upgrade. It rebooted and upgraded the device, and then stuck on boot screen. Now I try to update it through RUU but it says image version 4.16.401.13, and I can't find RUU for that version. Any ideas? Can I somehow reinstall twrp and restore nandroid backup?
P.S. in bootloader it still says software status: modified :/
P.P.S. I still managed to make RUU go through all the steps, from a billionth time. It would usually stuck on steps 0, step 1, or step 3. Now it seems like it's booting fine... Time to shower away all the cold sweat from my body.

Hi Guys,
I have windows 8.1 and can't open rom.zip file. I have an error : The compressed Folder is invalid. Installed winzip, 7-zip - can't go ahead.

If you are having trouble sending the ruu and you are stuck at sending 0/7 or 1/8 and only htc logo. then just delete htc sync manager from your pc!!!

Htc desire 816 no os , no cwm/twrp

1st. Remove imei and imei 2 from first post for safety reasons.
2. Uninstall HTC Sync but keep everything else it installed..
3. Make sure you have Java installed ( not sure if you need it , but I always have it installed )
4. Have you tried flashing the zip again ? Boot loader locked ?
fastboot flash zip (name of zip)
If fails it should say flush again.. then redo the command.

First I Rooted it, Via CWM
Then I tried to Partition My SD card ,but failed , so i got it back to its original state.
Then Tried to install some random theme.zip through CWM
That's when the problem started (Stuck At black screen on Booting)
Then I'm not sure about this : I probably formatted the SYSTEM via CWM (Probably the reason for absent OS)
And I'm Not sure how I lost CWM : probably while flashing stock recovery.img (via Fastboot)
and then FASTBOOT OEM LOCK, tried to unlock it but i keep getting the same error.
and then i downloaded and installed this HTC SPECIAL FASTBOOT DRIVER DOWNLOAD & ADB SETUP DRIVER
and again tried to flash RECOVER.IMG, but failed.
So I Repeated the unlock procedure from the HTC website.
I get option , I select unlock , The Device REBOOTS, and FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK : FAILED
But , even then I try to Flash 0P9CIMG.zip which fails again and again.
I have no Idea Whats going on
I can only Access the bootloader menu.
Cannot Access recovery , a red triangle and ! appears.
PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE A SOLUTION.

Red triangle with stock recovery flash
Cannot Access recovery , a red triangle and ! appears.
Just to chime in on the red triangle issue . I had that same issue when reflashing my stock recovery back to my rooted 816 single SIM and the issue was that the stock recovery was there but had that screen due to the fact that I had altered the phone and the triangle is an indicator of that for HTC I guess. I was able to get into the stock recovery by pressing and holding the power button then pressing volume up and waiting . When the stock recovery screen shows up you release the volume button I believe but it might be releasing both. It's been a while. Either way I got into the stock recovery but I ended up just reflashing TWRP custom recovery back and not doing my stock update as the zip file kept failing. Glad you got expert help with your issues and got it resolved.

I was able to get into the stock recovery by pressing and holding the power button then pressing volume up and waiting . When the stock recovery screen shows up you release the volume button I believe but it might be releasing both. It's been a while. Either way I got into the stock recovery but I ended up just reflashing TWRP custom recovery back and not doing my stock update as the zip file kept failing. Glad you got expert help with your issues and got it resolved.

I had tried every combination, nothing worked. It was either restart or was stuck at the boot screen (HTC white Logo) or a Black screen.
Yeah me too!!

I recently flashed hosd with a new hos_verified.hosd. Could it be related?
ANY IDEAS?

When use MIflash to install MIUI, showed erasing 'boot_a' failed, remote: 'partition table doesn't exist

My phone is MI A1 tissot, the system used be Android one, I want to install MIUI so I wipe all... There is no system on the phone now.
When I use MIflash to install tissot_images_V10.0.24.0.PDHMIXM_20200810.0000.00_9.0_49f16fd30d.tgz
It showed as the pic.
I also tried many ROMs, not working either.
I could use

fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-tissot.img
to enter recovery.
Tried install zip file through recovery is not working either, showed
Updater process ended with error: 1
Error installing zip file

Or you use a Twrp to flash a .zip rom or Miflash Fastboot rom(TGZ).
No need for Twrp with Miflash.
Try another Miflash or flash with Twrp

What should I do next?

^-^ I thanks you so much for helping me to solve my phone issue, I'm sorry to waste your time. Thanks so much
I will follow this and have a try.
I follow the link downloaded
miui_TISSOT_V10.0.24.0.PDHMIXM_bcbbe1fad4_9.0.zip - (Newest Global Recovery ROM)
HW_Button_Light_Fix_5Secs-tissot.zip
TWRP-3.3-withTM-2.1-INSTALLER.zip
And I‘m in the TWRP now
Should I install "TWRP-3.3-withTM-2.1-INSTALLER.zip" first?
Then Install "HW_Button_Light_Fix_5Secs-tissot.zip"?

First Time Install / Clean Flash
1. Download the proper flashable ZIP for your device
2. This ROM is treble enabled so you need to install treble enabled TWRP (link given below)
3. Once you are inside this TWRP go to tissot manager and make your system trebled enabled and reboot TWRP recovery
4. Wipe Data/Cache/System
5. Flash the ROM
6. Reboot to Recovery Format data type yes and slide (THIS WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL PARTITION)
7. Reboot to system

Please understand that you will not have all MIUI features with this GSI rom.
Probably better to install another AOSP rom
