Is it possible to go back to Stock - Completely - To sell the phone?

I have a Mint Condition HTC One phone I am trying to sell - Mostly just because I also own a Nexus 4 and love it - and decided I'd rather keep it and use the money on the HTC One on something else.
I'm having a hard time selling it because the "everything is unlocked" is making people scared to buy it.
It's S-OFF, SuperCID, TWRP 2.6.0.1, Bootloader Unlocked, Running 2.24 Firmware and Android Revolution 12.1, Sim Unlocked too.
It's originally a Rogers Canada HTC One
Is there any way (or guide) to completely make it stock again to help sell it? Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, just flash the Rogers RUU (if available) and then you're good to go! If there isn't one then use one of the Nandroids provided and then get the stock recovery and relock the bootloader

don't forget to go back to S-ON after flashing the RUU

Hmm... never flashed a RUU before. Will need to do some reading.
Anyone know where to find a Rogers RUU?
I don't care if its Rogers specifically - it can be Telus or Bell too as long as it works.
I just want to go back to Stock so it's capable of updating OTA somehow if possible.

just download the RUU (sorry, don't know if there is one for your carrier), be sure to be s-off, and then run the RUU.exe or flash the RUU.zip.
the RUU will flash stock recovery, stock rom and i think it will even relock your bootloader. and then you'll be able to download OTA-updates again.
last step is to put it back to s-on and you should be done..

Ruu for bell. Rogers, telus is not available yet, your best bet is to flash the stock wwe Ruu. Remember to flash the stock hboot if you are using a modified hboot for the red lines or you would brick your device

Thanks
I'm S-OFF using the Revone Method
I'm on firmware 2.24 and HBoot 1.54 (Still S-Off though)
If anyone has time, can somebody give me a real quick overview on what I need to do? I'll buy ya a beer!
I'm not real familiar with HTC Devices - This was my first experience and to be honest, Right now I'm wishing I didn't do this if I knew before hand I was going to flip it so fast.

Ok no problem
First download the RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
and run the .exe.
then you'll have stock hboot and stock recovery + stock rom.
After this you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to get back to s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Be sure you never installed a custom hboot before and you are using a official hboot. Better check twice if the red warning text is there before you go s-on
And that's it
No beer needed, "thanks-button" is enough
Cheers

You cant run the RUU with Super CID. You will have to change it to one that matches the RUU you choose before running it, but keep s-off. Then you should be able to use the tool as mentioned above or do all the things manually. You can use my guide if you like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497

Thanks for the help.
Which specific RUU should I flash? I don't see a Generic WWE One in that thread - just a couple of WWE ones for Developer Editions. Should I use an AT&T one? I can change the CID back to whatever is needed.
Am I able to do this somehow with the Nandroid backup for Rogers in that thread?
Also - What do you mean by "check for the red lines" exactly? I am on HBoot 1.54, Is there a easy way of going back to 1.44?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm kinda annoyed there isn't a Rogers RUU available. Last thing I need is a bricked phone - I'm only selling it as I honestly I shouldn't have bought it to begin with (Financially)

Where are you going to try and sell it? If to another user in Canada with one of those carriers, then they wouldn't to buy the unit with a AT&T image on it, I would think.
However running the ATT one would be a very easy way to reset everything including the hboot (no worry about red lines if run the RUU). Then you could sell to a US buyer who is going to use ATT (Tmobile also has a RUU). My guide for reseting to ATT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497
There are some threads around here where users are resetting Rodgers back to stock but it is much harder without a RUU and I am not sure of your comfort level.
To use one of the Rodgers Nandroids to do a complete reset to stock I would:
Change the CID to CWS__001 and run the ATT RUU to reset all your firmware, hboot etc, back to stock. You will still have unlocked bootloader and s-off, so you can then change back to your stock CID and then use the fastboot command to boot (but not install) a custom recovery in order to restore the Rodgers Nandroid and then just relock and s-on. Should be 100% Rodgers stock.
Code:
fastboot boot yourcustomrecovery.img
You can only use this method to boot a recovery without installing it, if on hboot 1.44, so that is why I recommend using the RUU to downgrade all that stuff for you.
Let me know if you need more help. I'd be happy to guide you.

you could take the latest open europe RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7), or take an AT&T one.. don't really know which one would be better for your situation you'll know it better

this is also an option. you can flash this nandroid backup through cwm recovery. but then you'd have to manually install stock recovery and lock the bootloader/go back to s-on. why not :good:

you can stay on 1.54 if everything works fine after flashing the older firmware. the "warning text" is related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
but if you've never installed a custom HBoot you don't have to worry about this when going back to s-on. just check once if the red warning text in the bootscreen is there.

Hey, I'm trying to do the same thing as OP, and this thread has been the closest thing to my issue. I'm trying to return everything on my phone to stock, however my Canadian carrier is Bell. Currently my HTC One has the bootloader unlocked, is rooted, TWRP recovery, and TrickDroid installed.
If I understand your instructions correctly, what I should do (given I want to restore using a nandroid backup) is:
1) S-Off my phone
2) Change the CID to CWS___001 and run the ATT RUU
3) Change the CID back to my original (BM_001 is what I think it is, do you know how I can make sure? What command to run for ADB?)
4) The Nandroid backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874&highlight=bell+update for my phone is for CWM (it's this one: M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID BM___001 / 1.29.666.5), does that mean I have to change my recovery from TWRP to CWM at this point?
5) Use fastboot to boot the recovery --> two questions regarding this, 1) why would I not install the .zip I downloaded from step 4? 2) where do I get the recovery.img? Just the one that is in the zip? In which case, shouldn't I also has to boot the boot.img or anything else?
6) I also want to upgrade the radio, should that be done last?
Thanks for all your help!
Lastly, I'm looking for a ROM to flash afterwards, I was wondering if you had any suggestions/know of a ROM that can allow me to use the swipe2sleep features, as well as hold the back touch button to force kill an app.

Just sell it on swappa. They love rooted unlocked modded phones.

[Q] What's all the fuss about S-OFF?

So I read about S-OFF and I can gather that it has something to do with unlocking the bootloader. I'm a little confused since I just went to the HTC website and did the official unlock steps, I'm now rooted with clockworkmod CM10.2, and my bootloader is S-ON.
Basically, I never did S-OFF so I'm confused about why it's so important and why didn't I have to do it?

Some carriers are the only users option in their area.
Like for me, that carrier would be Verizon. They have great coverage.
But they also happen to be evil and had HTC block our HTC One's MID from being able to use the HTC Bootloader Unlock bin file.
It will fail the initial checks after getting the token from you.
We also have the 1.54 hboot as stock, so there is no using moonshine, or facepalm, or any other previous method as of yet.
So in order for poor folks with carriers that strongarm smaller companies like HTC into doing things against their wishes and our wishes,
S-off allows us to then change CID,MID, etc,...as well as then go and unlock the bootloader as we should be able to do by choice.
That's why they built it and added in a warranty void warning, so we could make that choice if we so choose.
Anyway, that should make it more clear to you now at least, sorry for the extra carrier rant, lol.
Plus the obvious other advantages of flashing radios, kernels, etc,...without doing fastboot.

Ah okay. So S-off does similar to the HTCDev unlock? If I used S-Off instead could I get rid of the ugly warning text on boot?

Htc dev unlock only needed partitions. S-off unlock ALL

Yes you could get ride of the warning text with s-off, with s-on you cannot.

Everything what's said above + more , for example if htc one windows version ever gets ported s-off users can have it , we can also convert our device into ge edition / dev edition / flash whatever comes thru your mind , even splash screens , use modified bootloaders , we can also unlock bootloader without need of HTC official unlock process , we can lock it as well ( s-on can only relock it ) we can also completely hide we ever were rooted / unlocked for warranty reasons while s-on can't.
We can also use super cid which allows us to flash any ruu or use any region / carrier roms.
We can also downgrade bootloader or flash any other.
That's mainly it , also for example us with s-off have writeable partitions while for example s-on users still don't on 3.22 base.
And at the end maybe a good thing for you and some less advanced or less knowledgeable ppl s-on is a good thing since with s-on phone is practically indestructible software-wise , while with s-off small mistake even in fastboot could brick the device.

To get official OTA with updates to firmware, hboot and everything you have to get them from your carrier, and this depends on your CID. You cannot change this on S-ON. So basically your are bound to your carrier for life, they may but also may not release updates (like for ex. carriers in USA skipped 4.2 if I am not mistaken). You can of course flash custom ROM using dev unlock, but it won't update the firmware.

Ah okay thanks for the info! I have one more question about S-OFF if you don't mind: If I S-OFF and disable the red warning (flashing an unsigned fw), then S-ON again, would the warning come back?

If you do s-on with modified hboot will result an instant and forever brick. Dont do that.

I have an HTC one running 4.3 google play I want it to be back to stock so I can sell it. It was originially running Bell mobility but I could not find an RUU for Bell but I found some OTA's for bell. how would I go about this, is it possible? Can I use another RUU and then flash the OTA for bell would that work?
If anyone has a bell RUU that would help alot thank you.

That should work as long as you haven't changed your CID before.
Correction: That nandroid should have the stock recovery in it, if it's not then you'll have to search for it and flash it via fastboot. My apologies.

No, because your bootloader will indicate "Re-locked" instead of "Locked". Also, your IMEI was registered in HTC's database when you unlocked the bootloader via htcdev website. Only way to cover some of your tracks is to S-off the device by Revone if possible and using their lock command. It involves some risk. Rooting the phone doesn't always void the warranty, many times they'll will honor it if it's a genuine hardware issue.

A noob question, what do MID / CID mean and what are their the significance ?

I used to have Nexus devices, and this is my first HTC device ever. I just bought HTC One 32GB international from Amazon. So I'm learning the basics here. I've been hearing a lot terms like MID/CID, what do these mean? What do these stand for? What are their significance or rule? Where to find those? Thanks in advance!

you can find them using "fasbtoot getvar all" in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB.

Don't know exactly how to put it, but here goes:
MID = Model ID = Hardware
you can check this, for the differences: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223236
CID = Carrier ID = origin of your phone (manufactured by HTC, but sold by a specific company), for example HTC__001 is an unbranded international version, H3G__001 is a UK Three version, CWS__001 is a US AT&T version. a simple search would show you this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445289
As to the significance, it really depends what you mean, if you're just asking which one gets updates, which doesnt, then the simple answer is usually the unbranded first, then the carrier specific ones. Reason: HTC releases the unbranded updates, whereas the carrier specific ones, need to go through the carrier first (in case they want to add or remove something), and then get's released.
EDIT: so far the trend for updates has been: Taiwan first (HTC), then US Developer edition, then unbranded, then carrier specific.
With S-Off, you can change both MID and CID.
Hope that helped a little, if it did hit the thanks button.

If you're s-off and set the correct MID (fasboot oem writemid PN07xxxxx) and CID (fasboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx), and have stock rom + stock recovery, etc.
you'll receive OTAs without problems; now and in the future.

Good to know it's possible to install stock recovery to overwrite the custom one. I want stock recovery to receive future OTA updates without problems.

Then remember to unroot as well to get OTA.
Usually OTA and root don't go together.

Hi @SaHiLzZ, i just checked the asserts in an OTA, and i THINK, he can keep root shouldn't affect the OTA, but he may loose root after reboot and need to flash it again.
@M_Shaaban, once you start receiving OTAs, I recommend you "download & install later", then take a copy of the OTA to your PC, and extract "stock recovery" (recovery.img in firmware.zip), to keep a record of stock recoveries on your PC, when you need to flash it back.

@M_Shaaban, once you start receiving OTAs, I recommend you "download & install later", then take a copy of the OTA to your PC, and extract "stock recovery" (recovery.img in firmware.zip), to keep a record of stock recoveries on your PC, when you need to flash it back.

Isn't it possible to extract the recovery.img from the htcdev files - RUU files?
On a side note, HTC One is not listed in the devices on htcdev.com for unlocking the bootloader?

Not sure the RUUs are there, but then again, I never checked.
Personally, I would keep the OTAs on my PC, cause they also include complete and signed firmware packages. (just something i personally would do, everybody has their own way)

You have to select "other" (or whatever it's named).

HTC One M7 International RUU needed

I have an HTC One M7 (bought in Australia, unlocked), which currently runs cm11. I want to restore it to stock (I know how to s-on, remove tampered, lock bootloader) but I cannot find a suitable RUU. All the RUUs I have found are carrier-specific, and I am looking for an Australia unbranded RUU. Any ideas where I might find one?

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.

If the device is currently s-off do not go s-on and also if its s-off you can flash any RUU with a simple change of the CID number and MID, for quick updates go for something like the developer edition RUU which is unbranded.
