PLEASE help me fix my phone!

really sorry for starting a new thread but i've been searching like crazy and i have not found anything like what i have to deal with.
So the phone WAS a stock rogers Raider, sim unlocked when i bought it. Everything was okay until i started messing around with it.
What has happened to the phone:
I used hasoon's kit to unlock the bootloader and gain root access, along with rom manager and cwm because i wanted to download an ics rom for my phone. well the VERY NEXT DAY the stock ota update for ics came out for my phone, and when i tried to update it the official way it would get stuck on the htc screen until my battery completely died beyond repair, so 2 weeks later when the new battery came in the mail, i was still rooted and on 2.3. I learned after that the ota updates do not work on my rooted phone for some reason, so i tried to install an ics rom through clockworkmod recovery, and now when i try to boot my phone it gets stuck at the htc screen and doesnt do anything more, but using power and vol. UP i can still access hboot, which says "unlocked with s-on" ive tried to hit "factory reset" but it still wont boot.
If possible, what i would like to do to the phone:
Completely restore the phone to stock, locked bootloader, unrooted, and to a stock gingerbread so i can install the ota ice cream sandwich update.
I know i'm asking for a ton of help but please hear me out, im honestly getting depressed because of this darn phone.
Also, please use words as simple as you can because im really not the type of person who shouldve even started with all this stuff!

Use the guide in my signature. It's step 6. Basically what it entails is relocking the bootloader (an OTA, RUU, PH zip all won't work with an unlocked bootloader), then running the Rogers ICS RUU for your device (the link for that is in the guide). The RUU does the same thing as the OTA. That's the easiest way to do it. No need to mess around with going back to stock GB and all that. You can go straight to stock ICS if you re-lock your bootloader and run the ICS RUU.

You need to read before you jump the gun and mess around
First of all you can't be rooted and you can't have an unlocked bootloader for official updates/ruus
Second you can't flash ics unless you are s off and get an ics hboot
Here's the fix,
1) download the ruu from HTC website...I can try and find a link later
2) boot into hboot then fastboot
3) run the tool kit and use the relock bootloader option
4) if your phone reboots just go back to fastboot
5) if your bootloader now says relocked then just run the ruu
Ruu is official update done through a computer

Thank you both for your replies, i absolutely agree i really regret doing this, a link would be greatly appreciated too. and i just relocked my bootloader and it says "relocked security warning" so i guess its relocked, and finally how would i run the ruu? Im really sorry for being so clueless

The ICS Rogers RUU is here. Just boot into hboot and run it on your computer.

okay thanks so much, it always says "All free download slots are in use" which is strange because it only says that when i try to download the rogers ruu. i guess i just have to wait.
*update*
okay one more annoying question i promise. if i download gingerbread ruu from hotfile, i cant post the link but from another thread it works, and by doing what you said, hboot, plugin to computer and run the .exe, can i then upgrade to 4.0 by using the ota?

When i re-locked my bootloader, to confirm i went into h-boot, and it should say "Re locked bootloader".
But follow slapshot guide to the tee and you'll be good.

[Q] How to restore an unlocked, rooted, flashed phone back to stock?

Hi everyone, I am a new android user so I could use a little help!
I got my black HTC One sim-free version from Amazon UK, and have had a lot of fun using and learning about android. However I need to return the phone back to amazon, and am worried they won't take it due to the modifications now.
I unlocked my bootloader, rooted by installing SuperUser, installed CWM recovery and then flashed Trickdroid 5.2.1.
It's all working but I'm not really sure how I managed to get to this point as I just used Hasoon2000's excellent toolkit, with some more help from Torxx' tutorial (the AIO app came up with some errors after unlocking the bootloader). Foolishly I didn't make a backup of the original/stock rom or recovery either...
Can I just flash the Odexed version of the stock rom and associated recovery.img can I restore the phone back to stock? And what would be the order of doing that, and the commands I need to issue?
Thanks in advance.

have a look here might help you out

Thanks I read through that thread before.
I found 2 posts that sort of do what I need:

I am assuming what the did is what I need to do, however their instructions aren't clear enough for me!
Can anyone break down what commands are needed either with the command prompt and fastboot?
Or how to use the All in One app, and in what order?
Thanks!

Both post doesn't tell you how to put your rooted HTC One back to stock, It actually shows you how to unlock boot loader and root your phone.

been a while since ive used android, but I always remember having to flash the RUU and unroot

If you have a nandroid backup, can't you flash back to stock with that?

Unfortunately I didn't make a backup...

I too have this same problem and am yet to find a difinitive solution

Relock the bootloader then flash the appropriate RUU
the installation will fail if the CID don't match

Use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35975359&postcount=3
Edit: You can also search the HTC One X Forums, the step-by-step manuals should work the same way (of course you have to use the One drivers and appropiate RUUs/Nandroid backups). When I reverted my old HOX back to stock to sell it I had to take a nandroid backup because I had a O2-branded HOX and O2 never released the appropiate RUU for Jelly Bean.
Edit 2: Link from HOX Forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
And here are the Links for RUU/Nandroid Collection for the One: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39588860&postcount=1
Of course you have to use the appropiate One files (check CID)!

hboot 1.54 can't boot to recovery.img

Hi,
I had my phone replace the camera because of the purple-tint problem, HTC upgraded my phone to HBoot 1.54 and android 4.2.2 without informing me . Anyway.
After receiving my phone, I unlocked my phone again by the official method, then I wanted to make a clean backup of my rom, so I tried to boot my phone to third party recovery image by "fastboot boot some_CWM.img", my phone just hung there. I was frustrated, if I flash the CWM.img to the phone, would I brick my phone? Before the upgrade, my phone could be booted in the same CWM image file, can I use third party CWM after upgrade my HBoot to 1.54?
Any idea? please

Since you have HBOOT 1.54, you cannot boot into recovery using fastboot anymore, you have to flash the recovery and then backup the ROM.
You flash the recovery by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
I also recommend TWRP, its so much easier to use and if you cant find it ill attach it here if you want!
EDIT: **** This will replace your stock recovery by CWM or TWRP ****

HTC One 1.54 bootloader, flash recovery.
Hey guys, new member, and thanks for the extensive information provided on the forum!
I have a related question to what the OP posted...possibly pertinent info about the phone itself:
I have an HTC One with 1.54 bootloader, it used to be a 4.1.2 with 1.44 bootloader AT&T device, which I rooted, S-OFF, CWM etc. I then realized I couldn't take OTA updates and was stuck either on 4.1.2 or a custom ROM, so I downloaded a 4.4 stock google edition RUU and installed it. Everything is good so far, but I cannot do a full backup anymore because it has the stock recovery.
My question is, can I just flash the CWM recovery, backup the phone, and flash back the stock recovery? My goal is to get best of both worlds, get OTA updates from google as well as do a full back-up of my phone.
Please advise, and thanks in advance for your input!
PS: Since the 4.4 RUU update, my phone still says "unlocked" and "S-OFF", if that matters at all.

Sure you can but the stock recovery is only needed for OTA and they don't come that often.
and your phone has to be stock with stock recovery (no apps removed).
most people just ruu back to stock for the ota... not run custom recovery just long enough to backup.

Thanks for the quick response! I think what you're saying makes sense, though I don't have a stock AT&T RUU. I'm guessing I can download it with similar firmware so I can switch as needed. Thanks again!

here's all the ruu's you should ever need
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads

Awesome, thanks again!
I looked around the site before posting this, didn't find anything specific. I have a Nandroid backup of the stock phone before I started messing with it. If I do a recovery of that image using CWM, is it the same as downloading and flashing one of the stock RUUs? I'm guessing not, but would like to know for sure. Is the difference that RUUs have firmware, radio etc, while a Nandroid backup is of the OS and SD card?

well for one thing when you unlock the booloader it deletes some system files when it wipes the phone.. so your stock backup is already flawed (not true stock). and like i said to take OTA you must have a complete Stock phone. the only real Stock phone comes from RUU. I hope this clears it up for you. And no your sdcard is not backed up in the Nandroid

Hi guys, sorry in advance for digging up an old thread!
I have an AT&T HTC One, installed the Google Edition 4.4.2 with this group's help, rooted etc.
I received an OTA update from google today (4.4.3), and while I tried installing it, it crashes with a "SET_METADATA_RECURSIVE" something failed etc. I tried it with both the recovery.img that I have from the Google Edition ROM as well as the CWM recovery.
I've searched for stuff in the forum and the only thing I found is that I may need the latest version of clockworkmod, but I think I already do...I have 6.0.4.3, which is the HTC One AT&T one. Also, since I installed the Google Edition ROM, I haven't removed or uninstalled any system apps..so my phone is pretty stock as far as Google is concerned.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I figured it out...I had to get the recovery.img from the 4.4.2 RUU, fastboot flash the bugger into my phone (CWK didn't work), and I was able to download and install the 4.4.3 with no issues. Pissed away a few hrs trying different things, hopefully this update is worth it!!!

Htc one back to stock problems with reset and updates

Hi guys i decided i wanted to try the google play edition. So i got root, installed custom recovery and took a nandroid backup.
I then installed the latest play 4.3 rom. Didnt like it so went back into my cmw and restored the nandroid. Cool phone running fine again.
But i keep getting updates and when rebooting to install it would fire it into cmw and said couldnt mount. So i thought id reset the phone, and it rebooted to cmw again.
Read online it might be because the bootloader was unlocked. So i used the command fastboot oem lock in command prompt and relocked it. Now every time i try to reset the phone or update it im dropped to the bootloader
i thought an rru would fix it but i couldnt find one for my phone.
Its the htc one m7, was on o2 but i had it unlocked. It has hboot 1.54 so i couldnt get s-ff, baseband 41.17.3250.14. With the bootloader in tampered but relocked mode.
Any help would be appreciated. Just want my phone working again.
Ps i tried the guides to go back to stock. I dont have a 401 so i tried the rru, which i couldnt find for my phone and i cant seem to find the stock recovery for my device to reflash that see if its the problem, i tried a guide to extract from the nandroid, but altho i had root i couldnt see the folders. Tried the rom manager method as well and it says there is no backups altho there is one showing in cmw which i now cannot get into since relocking the bootloader

[Q] Need help Please with uk unbranded stock

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.
