Hi all,
I want to thank you for your help right off the bat!
I have an unlocked dev edition HTC One - I first tried to flash a recovery, tried to root and then add a rom.. i then figured out I didnt need to Root because when the bootloader is unlocked, you can just flash a rom and the Rom should have root in it. (At least I was told this)
I currently have a custom rom on here but How do I restore to factory settings with bootloader unlocked just like it was shipped to me? When i tried to restore through the RUU thingy, i had to relock the bootloader and then flash the stock image and this causes the dev edition not to really be a dev edition because it's locked once restored.
Is there something I can do or a step by step video? Thanks again

How about that a CWM backup of the DEV edition before anything was done to it

Hi,
I see this here but will this restore the recovery for the Dev Version of the HTC One? I am trying to make the device as if no one touched it sent from HTC with boot-loader unlocked, stock recovery, stock rom.. right now I have the updated rom 1.29... but the recovery is clockwork mod and the boot-loader says *Tampered* and the Unlocked.. when i boot up the One, the htc error is at the notification bar which says your device experience an odd recovery or something like that and you have the option to send HTC a report or not and it goes away.. im thinking this is because of the receovery not being stock.
I gave this device to someone who traded with me and im looking to help him restore it to factory settings. can someone help?

Hi All,
My One Dev edition shipped to me unfortunately while its bootloader is locked (!!!!_
I've sent HTC support team few email with the IMEI ans SN but was answered only that according there knowledge my device should be unlocked. When i asked for there support to unlock it, i was replied that i can unlock it by myself using HTCdev instruction but then i will have no warranty....
This was not the mean while decided to buy the dev edition...
Did any of you experienced such a situation? can you please advice?

Hey,
I couldn't find any help regarding this one:
I have unlocked my bootloader using the htcdev site (i am aware of the warranty issues).
So i've got this super sexy device, with unlocked bootloader, RUU 1.16.000, S-ON CWM recovery and root access.
I've tried to install the Revolution HD rom (3 times now) and after each time i got stuck at the HTC logo screen, not the one that says"quietly brilliant", but the one the says only "HTC". So luckily (again) i've done nandroid and used it to get my operator's ROM back.
So i've got 2 questions:
1) am i a failure ? what am i doing wrong?
2) is it possible to remove all the annoying operator's apps? and how? (fastboot/adb...)
3) What the heck is Goldcard?
Thanks a lot,

1) There is a sticky in this forum. Search it for your reference.
2) You cant remove the apps cause it is located in /system/app. You might wanna try deleting them using a file manager
3) As far as I know, for incredible s, its used for downgrading hboot 1.16/2.00 to 1.13 (there is a thread somewhere around this forum) so that it could be s-off'd using revolutionary.io
Hope this helps! ^^

If you dont want to downgrade and s-off your phone you need to manualy flash boot.img via fastboot after you flashed the rom.
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img"

I'm a bit curious why my bootloader shows "TAMPERED" after flashing TWRP custom recovery.
I have the HTC One developer edition so I thought this kind of stuff (i.e. flashing custom recovery images) was OK?

Don't know for sure, but I thought this message showed up after I unlocked the bootloader on my consumer HTC One.

Yeah, I thought that was a warning for consumers who unlocked their bootloaders but I thought a developer edition wouldn't have this because it's meant to be fooled around with, etc.
Didn't show up until I rooted.

It shows tampered for when you change your boot.img.
I'm pretty sure the tampered message happens when you flash any recovery other than stock.
Not a big deal unless you need to return your phone in which you flash stock recovery and relock.

How do you flash stock recovery? After I do this, will it AUTOMATICALLY relock?
Thanks
It even shows TAMPERED when you fastboot anything. You don't even need to flash anything, a
fastboot boot recovery.img
is enough to tamper with the boot loader. Was disappointed at first but that won't void your warranty anyways and once we got S-Off we are done with it.

You flash the stock recovery just as you would TWRP/CWM using fastboot. No, you would have to manually relock your device (using HTCdev) as flashing the stock recovery will not automatically lock the device.
Thanks for the information everybody.
Does the tampered warning cause any other problems?

Wouldn't the answered be, because you did tampered with it?

Yeah, I understand. I actually rooted the phone for something but now I realized I didn't actually need to.
If I wanted to completely restore the phone back to factory condition, how can I do that?
I still want to keep the factory unlocked bootloader of course... (since it's the developer edition)
I have a simple question.
I recently swapped my GS4 for a HTC One 64GB developer edition. I just like the freedom of custom rom etc. Anyway. I want to make sure the bootloader in unlocked. How do I go about that? Also assuming is unlocked I will nthen need to root before I can install a custom rom correct?
I know very noob questions!
Thank you
I use Hasoon's tool kit here for everything. Plug in and select reboot to bootloader and when it comes up on the phone it should say unlocked.

Awasome...Thank you I'll give it a try!
Ok...so my bootloader is unlocked....I can use the same tool to root? The tool has an option to perm root...is that it? Or do I install custom recovery first?

Hi
greetings,
First install custom recovery
now if you want to be on stock ROM then flash root.
and if you want to flash a custom rom directly flash the custom ROM as custom ROMs are pre rooted roms
and yes perm root is the option.
and using toolkit is a nice way but i would suggest you must try to do things manually. Toolkits are 100% safe but doing things manually increases our knowledge its my personal experience OR you may use toolkits but later at-least give time to read threads which explains things which have to be done manually will help you in future.

I know I'm unlocked...but not rooted...so my question was if I use the same toolkit to root my phone
Hi guys, I have been trying to restore my device to stock and I think I misread something or made a mistake. Anyhow here is where I am..
Hboot 1.55
Phone is S-off
Bootloader is Relocked
I do not have root and I am at stock recovery.
I do not seem to be able to unlock my bootloader using fastboot oem unlock. When I try to push SU or a Custom recovery I get Failed Remote not allowed.
Can anyone point me to how I should go about getting root or the boot loader unlocked?
Thanks so much!

I was worried about doing this because in another thread somewhere someone suggested this and then someone else jumped all over them saying that this was causing all kinds of issues. While waiting for a reply it dawned on me that I still had my original unlock bin so I unlocked it using the original command. And then was able to complete the steps to un-tamper my device.
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me this community has been an excellent resource.
Hi all,
Long time lurker and benefactor of all the great advice and wisdom on here. Thanks to everyone for the knowledge you share with the rest of us while we're learning! I have a quick question i can't seem to find the answer to anywhere here. Please forgive me and redirect if I'm being dense and it's somewhere else.
Firstly my One is unlocked, rooted, s-on and running ARHD 71.1
Ideally I want to keep root and my custom rom but if really necessary, I can return to stock and redo the process later.
Ok here's the issue. I didn't avail of the Google Drive storage offer before unlocking my bootloader. Now HTC are telling me I need to relock it to redeem. I'm still pushing them but just in case they hold firm:
1. Can I relock the bootloader without losing root and my custom rom? If so, how? All the guides I can find are about unrooting, locking and returning to stock.
2. If I do relock the bootloader, redeem the storage offer and then later unlock it again, is it going to wipe my data partition again?
Like I said. It's not the end of the world having to return to stock and redo, or having to flash ARHD again if the phone is wiped, but i would prefer a quick, clean and easy method if anyone has any ideas?
You can relock and still have root in the custom rom. How about making a nandroid backup, copy it off the device, relock, redeem the storage, unlock, then restore the /data partition from the backup.

that looks the best idea. will wait to see if htc get back with good news tomorrow otherwise i'll do this. thanks guys.
i'm having a nightmare here!
first when i relocked the phone it gave me "security warning" in the bootloader and refused to let me reboot the phone or even launch recovery.
i eventually managed to get the phone working again by rebooting the bootloader 7 or 8 times and then unlocking it again with my old unlock code.
then looking for another way to get relocked, i tried to get s-off but as my hboot is 1.55 there seem to be very few ways.
have been trying to use firewater (i'm on ARHD 71) but after going through everything, it tells me "ERROR: kernel contains HTC anti-firewater patch! Try again with a different kernel".
so then I flashed the ElementalX kernel thinking that would work but it gives me the same message.
anyone have any ideas? should i try another kernel? maybe a different ROM? I've tried to restore to the original nandroid backup i made when i first unlocked the thing but that's not working either!
