Hello HTC Oners!
After having an un-broken streak of HTC smartphones since the O2 XDA Orbit II (anyone remember that handset??), I have been using an Apple iPhone 4S for the last 6 months.
However, I've finally purchased an as new HTC One (M7) for a great price and am desperate to start using it and return to the HTC fold.
The handset appears to be a Vodafone UK customer return and, as such, is Vodafone UK branded.
I'd like to remove all of this branding and return the phone to a state akin to me buying a brand new handset from say Amazon UK.
i.e. not tied to any network provider and with the stock HTC software on - as it would have left the HTC factory.
I've spent a significant amount of time researching this and the advice in this Phandroid thread has proved to be a great help - many thanks.
However, I am at the point, I believe, where I just need to locate the appropriate RUU file and install it but my head is beginning to spin from all the information I've had to absorb to get to this point.
I'd be really grateful if someone more knowledgeable could check the steps I have performed so far, see below, and confirm if they are correct.
If so, it would be incredibly helpful if you could advise, based on my requirements, which RUU I need to install.
From the searching I've done so far, I'm not sure which is the correct RUU to use - I don't want to damage my handset as it took me so long to get to this point and it would be a b***h to fail at the final step.
I've also copy & pasted details of my fastboot getvar all config below and can confirm that, when the handset is booted into fastboot mode, it shows as being LOCKED with S-OFF.
Thanks in advance.
Steps taken so far:
1) Un-locked Bootloader via HTCDev
2) Installed custom recovery: TWRP
3) Flashed SuperUser
4) Enabled S-OFF using rumrunner
5) Changed CID to HTC__001
6) Reset Bootloader to LOCKED & UN-TAMPERED using Guru Bootloader
