[Q] need to fix my phone

I recently rooted my HTC one and a week later my top speaker crackles. I need to send it to Telstra but I need to remove the root. I've looked all over the place and I can't seem to find a ruu or even a nandroid. If some one could point me in the direction it will be greatly appreciated. Also will a nandroid work to unroot? Or do I need a ruu?

You can find the stock ruu at this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752

A nandroid of the original ROM will suffice, especially if you booted the bootloader and took the backup rather than flashing it.
If not, most bootloaders of the same primary version are equivalent.
What was your original software version?
fastboot getvar version-main
Or is that main-version?

Sorry I'm still kinda new to all of this. I used a recovery to root the phone ( team win) but I made the stupid mistake of not making a nandroid before hand. I need to make it look like I never rooted this phone so HTC can replace it. If I can't find something I might just "drop" it in water since I have insurance.

I did but I need a Telstra stock ruu. So I can unroot it.

The boot loader will say re-locked even if you flash your RUU, isn't that correct?

It depends if you're lucky or unlucky. I've heard of some that get their warranties applied, but also some where they got rejected. No harm trying, you'll get your phone back anyway

August update?

Does anyone else have a stock unrooted one that has come up with an update in the past day or two? My wife's says there is an update available(she is on 1.08.x.x). Just wondering what the update is for.

I just got the update notice this morning. I'll do what I can to capture the update zip since it's not going to install correctly with CWM.

Haven't looked at the zip yet, but I found it at /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip and it was dated today.

Edit: just took a peek at it, and it looks like it's mostly patching files in system, rather than flashing an all new system image. But the new version looks like it's "1.08.502.4".

i got a update notice 2 days ago but i already have twrp recovery and couldnt update with that recovery.

My wife's is not unlocked yet hopefully this isn't Att blocking the unlock process. Because the thing is just going to do it probably before I get a chance tonight. But I wouldn't put it past them. They have been trying to get HTC to exclude our Att phones from dev unlock since HTC put up the site...

I will go back stock and check it out...

Was still able to unlock. But not sure if they have patched for s-off... Haven't tried to do that(the wifes phone and she doesn't want me to do s-off).

according to s-off crew, moonshine is most likely blocked with this OTA. There is a possible workaround and I will be doing the procedure this weekend and posting up a tutorial if it works.

If I am unlocked, rooted and have s-off can i safely take the update? It automatically started downloading on my phone and the only thing I can do to stop it is turn off all data.
A prompt response is highly appreciated, thank you.

If you have a custom recovery(and why wouldn't you?) then you have nothing to worry about. It won't update with a custom recovery. It will just fail and that's it.

Question on the s-off front. My wife had to take the update before I could stop it but she doesn't want s-off anyway. My question is if it is needed for anything I would want to do... Such as running a 4.2.2 Sense 5 port from the htc mini... I have the htc one and I know that there was no real good reason for s-off(i did it anyway of course...) but I also know each phone is a little different. So thus my question... Sorry if this is too noobish...

no. fastboot flash boot boot.img solves all problems. but s-off is non-destructive on the data so if you want to give it a try and report back it would be appreciated. It would save me time this weekend.
But I understand its the wife's. My wife won't let me touch her phones after the first 4 hours....lol

Ok thanks for the info. She let me unlock it and try flashing my failed port rom... But when I was debating whether I indeed wanted to s-off my ONE I might have inadvertently mentioned that there are risks when your s-off. And now she wants no part of it(no faith!!!!). Lol

i installed the update and S-Off stayed, however if i try to unlock my bootloader the phone will go into a boot loop.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed cmw in fastboot usb mode, flashed the superuser then relocked the bootloader and everything worked fine. I installed the awesome beats package too without having to unlock the boot loader.

Yes this is a bug with s-off. Not just the aftermarket s-off. This is even happening with factory s-off devices. Not really sure what is causing it. Sometime I will sit down and try to get a dmesg and logcat of it to determine what is going on.
Sent from my HTC first using Tapatalk 2

Has anyone tried doing the s-off after the latest update this month? Just curious if it still works or if the update patched the exploit.

Personally, I always trade or sell phones in the condition I got mine in. I would go through the steps to S-ON, unroot, etc. Let me know if you need any help on doing any of that. Easiest way would be to flash the 1.29 RUU, reroot, S-ON (and maybe get rid of the tampered), then reflash the 1.29 RUU again. You should be back to complete stock. He can do the OTA upgrades himself.

Ah. That would make it harder. There are some people who are getting 8.1 to work so maybe you can do some digging around. Sorry I couldn't be of any help!

i have traded many rooted devices. 9 times out of 10 if u try to tell people it is rooted they don't know what the hell u are talking about. this guy being a sprint person he probably does but just because he works for sprint doesn't mean he does. when i sell or trade a rooted device all i do is load the 100 percent stock rom on there and don't even mention it is rooted. to directly answer your question, i would put stock rooted rom with no extras on there and hand it over. i don't know why everyone is sooo afraid sprint finding rooted phones. as long as u r running stock software builds i have never had any problems. i have even exchanged rooted devices and turned in rooted devices for credit on my new phone.

I'd let him know and tell him you can set it back to stock for him if he'd like. Do him a favor though, don't go S-ON. Chances are he'll take as is though.

He's going to know its rooted even if you dont tell him.. They arent stupid

Some guys are there just because its a job, others they have a passion for mobile tech. I'd just tell him its rooted, if he don't know what that means then it won't matter. If he does then one less thing hell have to do as far as the hassle of unlocking and s-off is concerned.

Always sell things the easiest way for everything to be done universally. For example, if you keep S-Off the person buying it in the end can easily place the Sec Flag back to on even without root, relock OR keep it unlocked, I am not picky about Sec Flag but bootloader being unlocked I am. So might as well keep S-Off because it isn't going to take away the ability to root or accept an OTA but WILL give the End User the ability to downgrade if they do root 4.3 and wants to go back to unrooted properly. S-Off and Unlocked will both still get OTAs easily. No matter what you do, go ahead and run the RUU to bring it back to bone stock abd accept all OTAs to get to 4.3 for them then do an FDR and give it to them with S-Off so they can downgrade if they want to.

Switching Phone numbers at Sprint ???

Im jumping to the M8 this weekend and turning over the m7 to the wife. Considering ive never done this before( always retired the phone) When i take it in to change it over to her number, will i need to RUU or can I just leave the Rom Im running presently on the phone.?

Typically stock ROMs, usually work. But if your M7 is S-Off then i like to run the latest RUU and OTA update it, that way you won't get any flack. Sometimes the sales person that helps u will be thrown back if he or she sees anything unusual.

[Q] AT&T OTA Not working - Stock

Hey guys, I just bought this phone yesterday from AT&T. Just out of the box I received an OTA update, which I thought was the KK update. But no, I am stuck on android 4.1.2 and Sense 5.0, and when I try to update, all I get is a message saying that everything is up to date and there are no updates available for me.
I am on the AT&T network at the time, and my phone is completely stock, no mod whatsoever. Any ideas what is going on????

You might want to exchange for a new unit or request for them to update, for all we know applying solutions suggested by us might just void the warranty instead.

use this RUU to get to 4.3 >> http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
you need locked / relocked bootloader
being your on 4.1.2 now would be a great time to get s-off before doing the ruu update. check this guide for getting s-off

+1 .. do it now!

Lets say I don't do S-Off (i don't really know what that is, my earlier phone was a crappy samsung) and I do the update with the RUU, will I be able to do S-Off later???
The thing is that i don't want to void the warranty. Coming from a really bad phone, where I had to mod EVERYTHING to get it working acceptably, I would really like to settle down and be stock for a while. Of course, that feeling will probably last a few months and then I will be flashing roms every 2 days lol.
If I flash the RUU manually, that doesn't void the warranty right? I mean, its an official firmware i suppose. On the other hand, if I can only do the S-Off thing right now, i might consider staying a while longer with 4.1.2 ... after all it is not so bad.

Mmm I think I'll start reading more before I make any decisions. Eventually I will root and install custom rims and kernels, so I'd like to keep my options open. If it's HARD but not impossible I might upgrade and stay stock.
Would you say there's a big difference between 4.1.2 / Sense 5.0 and 4.3 / Sense 5.5 ???

It's not that hard really.. i decided to s-off when im already running a KK rom. Firewater worked like a charm.

Gain S-Off now, and forever be happy. I never cared about OTA when I had that phone, I could run any RUU I wanted to, I changed from ATT to Dev, to GPE and back so many times. Just awesome.
