Hey guys,
Playing around with this stuff today for the first time.
I unlocked the bootloader, got a custom ROM on there and everything, but now i can't seem to install any other ROMs without going to S-OFF which i don't feel confident in doing yet.
So i want to restore my phone back to the stock telstra ROM, but i'm having trouble doing it.
I relocked the bootloader and ran the RUU (RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Telstra_WWE_3.25.841.4_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_246698_signed)
But the RUU only allows me to update and if i choose that it just fails completely.
I'm worried i've gotten my phone stuck on this custom rom i don't want.
what do i do?

Hi I've had my HTC one since june/july and decided I get on the rooting bang wagon.
Managed to unlock bootloader and everything looked fine, tried to install kitkat rom and well it went down hill from there as it wouldn't install and after that wouldn't do anything other than reload into cwn recovery. I'd not done a back up like a clown or took note of any of my firmware, kernel versions. managed to learn how to push rom via adb and fastboot. thing is I panicked as I did'nt want a bricked fone and stuck on stock odex rom.
its runs fine but would really like to have uk unbranded rom and firmware back on or atleast know where to find it before I attempt to stick either google edition software or kitkat again but hopefully a little more succesful. I've also now managed to s-off

As you managed to s-off, there are 2 ways. The first being to run the 1.28.401.7 RUU (http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_htc_europe_1-28-401-7_radio_4a-13-3231-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/), to downgrade and then update to the latest.
Or easier way would be to flash the latest 3.62.401.1 GURU RESET ROM here: http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/guru-reset-3-62-401-1-stock-rom/ That includes the options to go to complete stock.

Hi, I'm new here. I need help restoring my HTC One back to the stock ROM. It is with virgin mobile in Canada. I'm trying to unlock my phone from virgin but having trouble and figure it can be from being on a stock ROM.
I have been reading for about an hour and searching for the stock RUU. Before I forget, I'm running OMNI ROM on android 4.4.2 and have CWM recovery installed.
Anyways back to topic. I couldn't find any RUU's for my device but read on here that you can restore using a nandroid backup if you can find one. Now me and my brother both got an HTC One at the same time but I went through so many ROMs and customizing it. I started with CWM and made a back up of the stock rom but kept getting errors with some ROMs so switched to TWRP and couldn't use it anymore. With android 4.4 I needed to go back to CWM but in some point when tesering ROMs I only had 3GB free of space so did a wipe and fresh install so I don't think that the original back up is still there somewhere.
Anyways. I have my brothers HTC One here and that's stock. Nothing modified what so ever. Can I make a nandroid back up or use a tool to extract the firmware from his phone and somehow use it to restore my phone back to stock, unroot, relock boot loader and get rid of the *tampered* flag in fast boot?
The phones still on contract, only had it for like 4 months and thinking of giving it back and getting an upgrade to the One Max or when the One 2 comes out but I don't think Virgin mobile will allow me to since the phones been tampered with.
Hi. I have created a Canadian stock thread. See of it helps. It is linked in my signature
Hi Guys,
Have spent the last couple of hours trying to lock my bootloader and get back to stock.
I followed instructions, locked the bootloader, went from S-Off to S-On and as I ran the RUU file, I realised it was the incorrect one.
My understanding is that now that I have locked the bootloader, if I try and boot the device, it would bric as it has the previous custom firmware still running?
I have found out that my HBOOT version is 1.29.401.13 and after doing some research, older threads suggest there is not an RUU file available for this. I am quite worried now as my phone is in recovery mode at the moment and the only way I can see (from a different thread from June 2013) is to unlock the bootloader again, install a different stock rom, lock it again and then finally use the 1.29.401.16 RUU file. This seems ridiculously long, however if needs to be done, I will do so.
I stumbled across a "Guru Reset M7 1.29.401.13" tool, however I am not fully clear about how this will work - if it is even used for the same purpose?
If anybody has information or advice on how I should proceed, it would be extremely appreciated as I have a beautiful piece of metal sitting here uselessly. -_-
Many thanks to all who reply!
Guru reset will work good
Unlock boot loader
Install custom recovery
Install guru reset Rom
from HTC One
Hi there,
I am using the Htc One M7 for At&t. I decided to root it and everything went good. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed a custom recovery and had the Xsense module installed and I loved it. I decided to try out cyanongen and if I didn't like it I would go back to stock. That doesn't quite work that way, needless to say. I ended up without a Rom and stuck on the bootloader. After countless hours of troubleshooting I found a stock htc rom and stock recovery, however now my problem is I can't seem to update my OS to the latest version, 4.4.3, which is what I had before all this. I've read it is because of the phone being unlocked. So I lock it and it boots to bootloader saying tampered relocked and Security Warning. I do more countless hours of research and find a few programs to make my phone S-off. Revone does not work. Firewater does not work and Rumrunner fails. I believe it is because the h boot is 1.57. My question now is do I just go sit in a corner and start crying or is their something im missing or not doing right? My phone is rooted, I just want to go back to stock.
ok i have made a mess of my phone and am hopping that someone can help me sort it out. i am newbee to this.
i bought an htc m8 on sprint from ebay and shipped it over to ireland. so in order to try and sim unlock it so i could use it on networks over here i did a small bit of reading (not enough as it turns out). i unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery for sprint. i then downloaded a new rom thinking that it would also unlock my sim. i wiped my phone system before flashing the new rom but forgot to make a backup of my stock rom so there is no going back for me to that. so the way i sit at the moment i managed to get cm12 nightly to work its rooted with s-on.. i tryed using sunshine to s-off but it tells me i need to install a rom closer to stock. any rom i install wont work and i just boot back into bootloader.. i would like to get s-off if thats posable now and also install a rom that looks more like htc stock with sence on it...
thanks in advance
If you go to the HTC dev website, you can download an RUU to get back to Stock sense. Then after that you can S-Off and root and do all the other stuff you wanted
