I am trying to return my T-Mobile uk device back to stock 1.28.61.7
I restored my nandroid backup, unrooted it and flashed the 1.28.401 recovery then locked the bootloader. Unfortunately, my recovery appears to be broken bringing me to the conclusion that the recovery is specific to my devices stock rom.
Can somebody with greater knowledge than me (many of you out there!) confirm wether or not this assumption is true?
Also, could some kind sole provide me with the recovery taken from a device running 1.28.61.7.
Any help and advice would be grately appreciated.

HI guys,
Planning on returning the HTC One due to incompatibility with Aus 850Mhz, I am running 1.28.401.7, the phone has been rooted and recovery has been replaced with CWM how can I return the phone to factory? I can't seem to find a RUU to return it to stock. Could anyone with this version be kind enough to extract the stock recovery so then I can use the nandroid back up of the stock rom to return it to stock rom then replace the CWM with stock recovery then relock bootloader. Will this method work please help as I need to send the phone back asap.

Hey all,
so I recently flashed the MaximusHD ROM for my M7 on T-Mobile US. I love the ROM, 4.3 is great, blah blah blah. But right now, TWRP won't recognize my Nandroid backup that I made on stock 4.1.2. I need a Nandroid backup I can use to restore to Stock if I so need, OR a T-Mobile US ROM for M7 on 4.1.2, so I can relock my bootloader and use my RUU properly (if I relock my bootloader, MaximusHD won't boot, thus making me unable to use the RUU).
Unless one of you fine people can tell me how to get TWRP to recognize my Nandroid backup on 4.1.2 (it doesn't show up in the Restore window in TWRP).
Thanks!
Ps. This isn't necessarily an urgent matter, but I would really love to have these things settled before I need them. Also, I tried using the extracted ROM from the T-Mobile RUU, but TWRP wouldn't flash it, so now I'm stuck trying to find something else. Thanks y'all!

Everything you need can be found in the T-Mobile HTC One forum. I suggest you and everyone else look there for T-Mobile specific needs.
Hello all,
Firstly, I've got a (still unlocked) U.S. dev edition with S-On and Hboot 1.44.0000. I've been trying to install yesterday's OTA, but I can't seem to do it. The only changes I've made to my One since I got it were rooting it and installing TWRP in order to flash the MoDaCo toolkit. I understand that the stock recovery is needed to flash OTAs, and so I used fastboot to flash the stock recovery, but when I try to install the update, the progress bar in the recovery goes about 1/4 of the way and then it stops and displays the red triangle with exclamation mark. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, honestly.
I've seen varying advice aimed at other people also having difficulty suggesting I need to relock the bootloader (though as a dev edition, it was never locked, right?) or to get S-Off and then flash it somehow, so I'm not entirely sure what to do. I'd rather not resort to using a RUU as I will lose all of my data.
I didn't think a developer edition phone would be this difficult to deal with, as I've never had any problems flashing countless ROMs, kernels, etc with other android devices. I've never had an HTC phone though, so I've got no experience with S-On/Off, and to be honest I still don't understand what it is.
Anyway, how should I proceed? Thank you.

Thank you for that, but I mentioned that I didn't want to use RUUs. There has to be a way to do this without losing my data.
1) Put your phone in s-off now that you have the 1.44 hboot, trust me is better for you.
2) Maybe you have a custom kernel.
For install OTA you need stock rom, stock recovery and stock kernel.
3) Maybe more info can help us

I'm having the exact same issues. I'm on HBOOT 1.44, S-On (I'd love to get S-Off, but revone keeps giving me error code -1...), and previously got the OTA's to work by flashing stock recovery, running the OTA, then reflashing TWRP. This one doesn't seem to work that way, though. If you figure anything out, or find the right stock recovery, please do share!
Hi guys,
So I'm currently in the process of returning my device to stock for RMA purposes but I've hit a bit of a roadblock, as there's no RUU for my carrier (H3G in the UK). I've restored a CWMP backup to a H3G stock ROM, flashed a firmware that about matches the ROM I'm on, and I'm trying to flash a stock recovery but every time I flash I believe to be a stock recovery, booting into it actually starts CWM 6.0.3.1, which I assume is something to do with disabling HTC's reflashing of stock recoveries when another is found. I've searched for a few days now and have yet to find anyone in the same predicament however, which makes me think I've done something wrong. You wonderful and knowledgeable people at XDA are my final hope before it needs to be shipped off tomorrow morning!
A little more detail about the phone itself: has been updated to the 1.54 HBOOT but is S-OFF and unlocked using revone, and a 4.1.2-based sense ROM because I believe that's the highest Three have released so far.
Thanks for reading!
There something I've wondered for a while regarding going back to stock with no RUU but when there is a Nandroid...you need S-OFF to do it though and have your CID as HTC__001
1. Flash the 1.28.401.7 RUU to go back to stock - this should get the phone back working with the right FW for the Nandroid
2. Change the CID back to H3G__001
3. Restore the 1.28 Nandroid backup using CWM
4. Boot the phone and make sure it runs
5. Flash the stock recovery (assuming you can find it)
6. Make sure the phone boots up
7. Make sure it can download/install the latest OTA updates
The other way is do step 1, then do all the OTA updates up to 2.24 and then change the CID to H3G__001 and flash the Nandroid from TWRP for the H3G build but I've not tried either before. I might even give it a go tonight and see if my theory works
Thanks! That's a great idea, so the RUU is used to restore all of the other parts to stock (firmware, HBOOT, recovery) and then the nandroid changes it to a Three ROM and the OTAs will overwrite the firmware, HBOOT recovery with the Three-specific versions if they are included? At least, I hope I've understood your idea correctly.
That's my theory, but I've never tried it as I have an unbranded handset so can just use the RUU and then OTA it to the latest build. I'll give it a bash tonight and let you know later on if that's OK?
I'm on a bit of a tight schedule in that they're coming to collect it tomorrow morning but if you work something out it would be extremely useful - so long as the phone passes their tests and gets my (hardware-based) problems sorted I'll be happy either way I think your idea will work much better than my current mish-mash of different firmwares, recovery and ROM versions!
I'll be home at 6 and will get right on it. I'll hopefully have news by 8ish at the latest
OK, I can get the phone running on the Nandroid after flashing the RUU BUT you can't flash the OTA update as the recovery I used from a stock 1.28.401.7 RUU doesn't match the Three UK one (it would seem). Hopefully it'll be enough to get it back to them though
IF you could get the stock recovery from the 1.28 Three UK build you'd be good to go AFAIK but I have no idea if the one in the Nandroid is the stock recovery (I assumed not)
Alright, it seems this is my best option and to hope they don't try and run an OTA on it, with any luck they will flash the entire thing with an RUU or something to iron out all of the kinks. Thanks very much for your help, as I wouldn't have wanted to have tried all of that in such a short period.
Should anyone find this thread with a similar problem to what I described in the OP, I managed to flash a stock recovery again by using the HTC One AIO Kit by Hasoon2000, which managed to overwrite CWM where I could no for whatever reason.
Hello everyone, I am writing to ask for help for my problem, I own a HTC One mini 2, Roma had the stock completely original, after I unlocked the bootloader entered the custom recovery, and finally the root, I installed a 5.1 rom lollipop.

What SW version are you on, i you are S-ON you cannot flash a lower version than the one already installed on your phone, it has to be a similar or higher version, plus it has to be precisely for your Model or it will fail.
The only option is to restore stock ROM Backup through TWRP and flash stock recovery...

Hi,
All steps are explained in detail here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/general/stock-ruu-rom-recovry-htc-one-mini-2-t3250020
You need to have TWRP installed to restore Nandroid backup.
