Hello all...
I recently got an HTC One and decided to root it but now I am unable to get the 4.2.2 update.
Ive tried to find a way to revert back to stock but so far no luck.
I've only been able to get it back via a factory reset but the Team Win Recovery Project
and bootloader is still present and halts the 4.2.2 update.
phone details are...
Android version : 4.1.2
HTC Sense Version : 5.0
Software Version : 1.29.206.16 CL175272
HTC SDK API Level : 5.12
baseband 4a.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L
CID is o2__001
Is there an RUU I can use to revert it back to stock?
Ive looked around but couldn't find an appropriate RUU
Only thing I have found is the OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_O2_UK_1.29.206.11-1.27.206.1_P_release_315484
Would using this in TWRP get me back to stock so I can get the 4.2.2 update?
ANY help would be hugely appreciated!!!

I don't know if this would work but...
I have a nandroid backup of my O2 UK One.
This was taken prior to upgrading via OTA to 4.2.2.
Upgrading to 4.2.2 meant my hboot became 1.54.
I now find that if I restore my backup that the touchscreen is completely unresponsive - as far as I can tell because of the hboot upgrade - as any 4.2.2 roms work fine - and a nandroid for O2_002 (Germany) which was prior to 4.2.2 exhibited the same behaviour.
What I'm suggesting is, if you haven't yet upgraded to 4.2.2 yet - then you may be able to use my backup to restore your phone to a state ready to receive the OTA and upgrade to 4.2.2.
Yup - I'm not too sure it would work either! WE could both do with someone with a little more experience to advise us here!
However - I'm willing to provide the backup - but I would ask one favour.
If it works - please, please, make a nandroid backup of the completed update (i.e. O2_001 4.2.2) and let me (and probably quite a few people here) get their hands on it!
As you've probably noticed - O2 variants are not well catered for either here - or indeed anywhere on the net.
If you want to give it a try PM me - and I'll provide a link so you download it and try it out.
hmmm

Well I'm back on O2 (thanks for that Gandalf) instead of the Euro ROM+SuperSID I was using before but still can't get it to update to 4.2.2
Just can't seem to get back the stock bootloader..
even when unrooted, locked(relocked)
played about with various recovery.img like has been suggested, no joy
Is there a way to manually update?
I'm absolute newbie at all this hehehe

You need to be unlocked to flash recovery.
The image supplied contains the original stock recovery.
ADB fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also - probably flash the boot image
ADB fastboot flash boot boot.img
Relock - OTAs require that.
Also - have you reverted to your original CID?
Keep trying!
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Now I've woken up!
1) Make sure you're unlocked and S-Off
2) Change your CID to O2___001 ( that's 3x "_") - fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx
3) Extract boot.img and recovery.img from backup provided.
4) Place these files in the folder on your PC containing your fastboot file.
5) Connect the phone in fastboot usb mode
6) fastboot flash boot boot.img
7) Restart in recovery mode
7a) Personally I'd wipe everything here - data cache etc.
8) Restore backup
9) Restart to bootloader usb mode
10) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11) fastboot flash oem lock
12) Reboot
You should now hopefully have an HTC One running 4.2.1 with a locked bootloader and the correct CID - OTA should work now.
If anyone reading this knows different or can point out any mistakes or best practises please do so!
well no joy so far
Given up on going back to stock at the moment, having too much fun with modded roms etc.
Tried multiple ways to get back to stock recovery and the strange thing is I can flash between various recover.img/boot.img and swap between the clockworkmod and TWRP but the stock recovery.img seems to not over write during the flash.
Each time it reverts back to the custom recovery with the
"entering recovery... this build is for development...
(I put the superCID back to default but would it be because it detects the S-off ?
from what I've read I didn't think that would matter tbh)
BUT..
I can now swap between the various custom ROMS/Nandroid backups with ease using clockworkmod, Rom manager and CWM Backup manager.
fun times!!!
From what ive learnt, 4.2.2 has a different method of saving backups to a hidden file that hasn't been showing up when ive tried to transfer the back-up to my computer. Even CWM backup manager has failed to pull the hidden backup across and show it as a visual file in pc that I can transfer across..
Maybe this is because of the lack of dev options in the Android Revolution HD-One 2.0 GE ??
and having to just use the HTC One as a "Media device MTP" rather than the usb with debugging ??
(or am i just missing something here?)
But.. have found Android Commander for the pc which has helped a lot with this
and now I'm learning a bit more about the file structuring in Android..
Anyway onwards, upwards and outwards ..
just scraping the surface of the Android os so far...

As I understand it the "dev purposes only" is because you don't have a signed boot.img.
The boot.img I supplied with the backup should be signed - did you copy it from the backup and place in your adb folder to flash prior to restoring the backup? Though, saying that, I thought if you were s-off that the boot.img would be restored as part of the backup. I'm at a loss as to why it doesn't work.
Likewise with the recovery.img.
As regards backup - try reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34116836 or alternatively use 6.0.3.1 as that older version allows for transfer/restore to/from external sd card via OTG cable - slowly tedious but it works.
Ah well - have fun - I'll have to wait until the devs fix revone to allow s-off with 1.54 so I can revert my hboot and restore my backup in order to achieve stock O2 rom and OTA .

You're welcome.
The reason I want to be able to restore to pure stock is to cover my ass if the phone ever needs to be returned under warranty.
Because of the 1.54 hboot update a lot of people are frustrated because they can't s-off and choose what they wish to do with their phone.
Fortunately - as I still have that nandroid I'll be able to downgrade my hboot, s-off and restore back to prior OTA - as soon as revone is updated.
Guys a little help here as well
I am lost tbh I have android version 4.1.2 software no. 1.29.206.16...bought it from O2 UK. I feel so helpless cz I am new with this stuff and I have no clue how to remove the stupid TWRP thing and unroot my htc one and update it to 4.2.2. Can any one pleasee tell me how to do it...as step by step guide please :'(

Hi,
which recovery did you use to root your htc one O2?
if u used CWM, then what type? i mean did you downloaded CWM for htc one ( International)?
Gandalf, do you have the back up file still? I would be very grateful if I could have a copy.
Thanks

Hi,
I have an O2 HTC One. CID is 002 I think. I have S-On at the moment, but I am in the process of trying to get S-Off so that I can remove the ***Tampered*** and relocked signs.
I dropped the damn thing down the toilet and need to send it in for repair so I just wanted to make sure they dont get funny about repairing it when I have installed custom rom, because the reason for me sending it back is not due to that!
I have been searching the forums a bit and have found a nandroid backup of O2 rom, so will try that. The Android Rev 51 rom I have at the moment will not let me gain S-Off with rumrunner - always gives me an error. Going to try stock and see what happens.

Follow my guide to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
you can use:
Code:
nandroid [B]O2___102 1.27.206.1[/B]: ro.aa.modelid=PN0710000
ro.aa.cidlist=O2___001,O2___102
if it matches your "fastboot getvar all" (MID & CID)
but first you need to S-Off.

I checked your guide and gained S-OFF with firewater, much quicker and smoother and more importantly, actually successful as opposed to rumrunner!
One more question, the downloads for the backups are fairly slow and Im halfway done downloading M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID O2 102 3.62.206.1.
Is this version just an updated one vs the 1.27.206.1 2013-03-30 ?
Which should I use?
Thanks
Hey guys so another newb fail here, essentially I rooted my phone and installed a cmd rom and messed my phone up. Went through all the steps in trying to fix it, ruu etc but the ruu was out of date? Or my phone needed a different version. Anyway now my internal storage isn't mountable and I can't do anything. Very worried I ruined my phone! Does anyone have any advice?
A little more info would be helpful. Like what ROM exactly did you flash? Were you on the latest 1.31 RUU? Did you try flashing a 1.29 RUU?

It was this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356654
once I installed that everything went wrong, but I found a way to reboot because I made a backup and it saved to my phone and then i installed them7spr-RootBox-JB-houstonn rom, that worked for a bit but I had no service at all. So I tried to do the RUU trick but didn't realize the numbers didn't match the 1.31 as it prompted (it was 4 in the morning and I was really worried so I tried everything) so that crashed and my bootlock was locked, I then unlocked it again and when I tried to turn it on it would just load the rootbox rom's loading screen then power off. But in short yes, I was on 1,31 and tried flashing to 1.29
Got a little update, so I downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 and went into cmd and typed in fastboot flash recovery boot.img and got it to start loading the rom but it crashes after about 2 minutes. I can't go into recovery mode anymore, I'm assuming the flash wiped it clean? No idea what to do next. Any insight would be amazing!
1. Never flash ROMS that aren't made for your phone. ARHD is made for GSM variants of the HTC One only. I believe ARHD was also available for CDMA in point in time, but not anymore
2. You can't go back to previous RUU's unless you have S-off
Have you tried to RUU to 1.31? Did you re-lock your bootloader first? If not, do that first and you should be fine.

Hi GearshiftJB,
If you have S-OFF you can use the following guide to help you return to stock - [GUIDE] How to Return to 100% Stock.
If, however, you're S-ON then the method I'd use it to download and flash a stock ROM. If you use this method, you should still have root access but if you want to remove root access aswell then you can un-root your phone through the SuperSU app.
I hope this helps and if you need any more help/information, just let me know

hey guys, at this part
Phone should boot to the bootloader. Now run:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
Now verify that the stock CID shows on the bootloader screen by running:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Should I use CWS_001 or is there a different code for the bellévirgin mobile people like me thanks for the help so far
okay so now I keep getting invalid CID whenever I try to change it to anything
okay I've been trying for hours I can't seem to find the proper RUU or Stock Virgin Recovery image
my CID is currently 11111111 where for bell/virgin it should be BM___001 right?
my HBOOT is at 1.55.0000
radio is 4A.20.3263.16

I'm trying to restore via CWM using.. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-bm___001-1-29-666-5-zip/ that for Bell.
I can't seem to find where to put the backup once it's downloaded though..
Why did I go the custom route? I was curious. I originally had thought that it would be easy to restore if I just backed up what I originally had.. but that backup got lost and I'm just not up to date with how to do any of this. Thanks for the reply!

Therein lies the problem - assumption. You should always read up on everything you can so you know what you can/can't do with your particular handset.
You have to put the backup in the relevant folder on your phone so that the recovery can see the backup, e.g. /data/media/clockworkmod/backups/

okay.
anyways I just finished the download, put it in the clockwork mod folder/backup and will try to restore/back up from it now.
in order to have stock OTA updates will I have to go back to S-on, lock bootloader and normal cid? also my Hboot is 1.55.0000 does this require a downgrade? thanks! I'm making progress!
When I use CWM to try and restore I cant locate the file. It says cant mount /external_sd or cant mount /sdcard
I'll thoroughly search for where the back up I'm creating now is stored

Probably cause CWM looks for them in /data/media/clockworkmod/backups
and your PC looks at /data/media/0/... (ie /sdcard/ as of Android 4.2.2)

Use an OTG to connect a mouse, and download the OTA, that will fix the touchscreen.

Ok I wanted to try out CM so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed a custom recovery and CM. I had some connectivity issues so i wanted to go back to stock. Well after locking to bootloader I flashed the 1.29 RUU without knowing I shouldn't (my hBoot was 1.55). Now I am stuck in a bootloop, my recovery is corrupt somehow (says I have no partitions). I have no idea what to do. I have looked through every thread i can find and nothing seems to work.
All I want to do is get this working again. Running stock would be nice but I really don't care at this point.
Any advice?

Point people to the official download for the RUU. Maybe the amount of hits we give HTC will entice them to post more RUU in the future. . .
Sprint HTC One 3.04.651.2 RUU
Hi there,
Recently a friend of mine gave me her htc one m7 to fix it, since I have the same cellphone. This One has stuck in a bootloop... It does pass the logo screen and goes into the lock screen, but when I try to unlock the phone it shows the htc logo, till I press the power button and everything turns black. Upon pressing the power button again the phone shows the lockscreen, then again trying to unlock the phone results in the htc logo screen. Regardless of anything I do the phone reboots itself after some time... and the nightmare continues till I turn it off.
The phone has become totally useless. She told me she was in the middle of a phone call, then the call was suddenly stopped and her phone was no longer recognizing the sim. After that she had apparently tried rebooting the phone... and the phone stuck in the bootloop. The IMEI was also lost, although IMEI is shown in HBOOT.
I tried to flash the stock ROM, using TWRP sideload. I found this ROM for the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-4-4-3-sense-6-6-09-401-5-100-stock-t2854300 . The version is 6.09.401.5, which is android 4.4.3 and Sense 6. The phone was android 4.4.2 before that, so the main version was 5.11.401.10.
The weird part, is that when I wipe everything with TWRP, and flash the 6.09.401.5, nothing changes... The HBOOT still mentions the main version as 5.11.401.10 and the problem persists. Honestly Im desperately in need for help. :crying:
Let me ask in questions,
1- What the hell has happened?! why phone has suddenly stopped recognizing sim and lost its IMEI, and stuck in bootloop?
2- Why can't I get out of lock screen?!
3- Why when I flash the 4.4.3 ROM, (after I wipe everything), HBOOT mentions the main version as 4.4.2? why nothing changes and there is no "first time loading" settings?
4- Please check the link I mentioned earlier, and tell me if it is a ROM that contains everything for a fresh install.
General info:
baseband: 4T.27.3218.14
version main: 5.11.401.10
platform: HBOOT_8064
modelid: PN0710000
cid: HTC__J15
security: on
recovery: TWRP
HBOOT: 1.57
Please help me in any way you can ASAP... I appreciate all of your advices. Thank you very much.

Unknown imei and baseband is normally a hardware problem. (Fault with antenna pin connector)
2- Why can't I get out of lock screen?!

because of missing imei and baseband.

You can't change version main by flashing a Rom. You need to update the firmware for that, did you wipe data before installing the rom?

This is just the stock Rom. You can try to update firmware but not sure it will help.
Download this http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/6.09.401.10.zip
Put the zip in your fastboot folder and rename it firmware.zip
Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
<--- case sensitive.
The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Reboot the phone and [emoji120] if this doesn't work it's probably a hardware problem.

As I say unfortunately every case of unknown imei and baseband I know of has been unable to be fixed with software

I guess you're right, but is it the reason behind not being able to come out of lock screen?

Yes it's a normal symptom of the issue. For some reason the missing imei and baseband breaks a lot of things with sense. You can flash cm11 and get access to the device it won't fix the the problem but because the Rom is not sense based it seems to work better I'm not sure exactly why. But the imei and baseband will still be missing and you'll have no cell reception.

I guess you're right... could you please send me a link for this custom rom that actually works?
By the way I consulted a repair man before. I thought he was way out of the scene, since he told me the boot is broken... which doesn't even make sense in my opinion.

See in this thread it's important that you use one of the following recoveries to flash the Rom. So be sure to flash the recovery first then install the Rom.
Recovery to use
TWRP 2.7.1.2 or CWM Touch 6.0.4.8
It does sound like your repair man was way out. If you do take it for a hardware repair I wouldn't take it back to him

Thanks so much for the useful advices. The CM11 indeed works, but as you said the lost IMEI problem remains... apart from CM11 bugs, like camera error and such.
