Hi, I am running ARHD 10.3 with the new updated firmware, should I wish to go back to stock to take the official 4.2.2 update when it arrives (made a backup using twrp before I flashed twrp recovery) do I just restore my stock backup and do I have to relock my bootloader?
I believe you'd need both a stock recovery as well as a locked bootloader. Flashing an RUU would be an easy route, or restoring the Nandroid Backup, flashing stock recovery and locking bootloader. I am not so sure you actually need a locked bootloader, but do it just to be safe.

Thanks I have stock recovery in my backup
Well then all you need is to relock the bootloader and unlock it after receiving the OTA update. Again, I am not sure if you actually need to do that, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Can i restore my nandroid flash my stock recovery and install OTA update without relocking bootloader?
I know i could do it without relocking on my one x but does anyone know if you can on the one ?
Yes, you need stock recovery.
Hello,
I want to go back to stock factory image.
I am now on ARHD 12.3 with S-ON and stock CID and ROOT but want to go back to the orignal factory rom to get all the OTA updates.
And maybe it is possible to go back to stock to get the OTA's and still able to backup rom with custom recovery?
I want to do it as follow:
- Make a nandroid backup (TWRP)
- Copy backup to pc for safekeeping
- Use the RUU for the HTC M7_UL european
Now i am 100% stock right or do i forget something?
Thanks

if you want to get OTA updates you need stock recovery too and relocked bootloader...

Sorry but I believe you are wrong, you do not have to have a locked bootloader to get ota updates.
i just flashed a stock nandroid backup (from the internet), then i flashed stock recovery and locked the bootloader Everythis i now stock and i get official OTA. But i dont have a custom recovery
Stock recovery won't prevent the OTA from downloading, but it will prevent it from installing.
There is no need to relock the Bootloader. Restore stock nandroid and stock recovery and you are good to go.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
ok i thought you need to relock too, but i guess i'm wrong but stock recovery is necessary..
Hi,
My camera had problems focusing so I tried flashing the GPE ROM in hope of it would fix my camera - no luck. Now I need to get it back for repair so I need to get it back to complete stock.
Got my bootloader relocked, and i'm back on the 4.2.2 stock sense 5 ROM since I did a nandroid backup before flashing the GPE ROM. The only problem is now that i'm rooted and have hboot 1.54 with S-on so I cannot run any RUU's.
Is it possible to unroot it and get the stock recovery ?
My version is:
Baseband 4A.17.3250.14
Version 2.24.401.1
Flash the Mike1986's stock rom, and the stock recovery, after relock your bootloader and you will be stock

If you flashed the stock ROM you're not rooted.
The problem is probably that you're relocked, with no way of becoming locked.
The best you can do is HTCDev unlock and install stock recovery, then relock again and hope that's close enough.
Or wait for S-OFF on 1.54 or, if you really are "locked" vs "relocked", find or wait for the 2.24.401 RUU.

you are right, just checked with root checker and I am not rooted. But how do I know which recovery I am running? As of right now nothing happens when I try to enter the recovery in bootloader. I guess it is becaused I just relocked the bootloader?

Not sure how to check which recovery. Normally a nandroid has the custom recovery, unless you fastboot boot recovery.img with it stock (which you should, but is usually left out of the guides).
However, somewhere it will say "tampered" (hboot?) if you have unsigned software installed. If it doesn't say tampered, you have stock stuff.

It says tampered and as far as I can understand from other threads, it will keep saying that no matter what I do.
But I didnt fastboot any recovery image, just restored the nandroid backup in my custom recovery.
So I guess I have to unlock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery.
Thank you for your explanations

I'm pretty sure tampered goes away when all the partitions have signed software, but I'm open to correction. Where does it say that?
Nah, the fastboot boot is the first step after unlocking, before you flash custom recovery, you should boot it and then nandroid and then flash custom recovery and ROM or root. That way your nandroid is actual stock.
Anyway yeah, unlock, flash stock, relock (unless you're "locked" vs "relocked") should be fine.
You can only remove the tampered flag when you are S-Off, obviously not an option at the moment on Hboot 1.54 .. Same goes for changing the relocked back to locked, S-Off needed. As Guich said, check mike1986's threads as he has the stock recovery image to install using fastboot.
When you did your Nandroid backup, did you check to backup recovery? if not you will need to install it again using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
i just finished S-ON and locking back my device because i need to my warranty back.
and i discovered there isn't RUU that suits my phone.
now i am on bootloader with no room and i want to restore a original room or any other RUU that won't leave any other cellular compeny sign
i tried:
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4
and
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed
and they aren't working .
what do you think i can do?
my version is 2.24.401.2
You should've got everything back BEFORE going back to S-ON, as there is no RUU you'll have to unlock the bootloader using HTCDev and then flash a CWM backup

If you're S-ON and have HBOOT 1.54 there is NO choice but to unlock, flash CWM and restore a backup. You cab't do anything else

You can follow nkk71's guide in my signature.
If you don't want to go completely back to stock just to get OTA you can flash this Guru Reset 4.19.401.11 in TWRP. In Aroma just select stock recovery and radio, when you reboot you will have stock recovery, stock rom. To get the OTA updates, you will have to relock your bootloader. You can use this command in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot oem lock

Thank you so much! i searched a lot for my versions reset tool. Just one last question. When i update my firmware and OS now and make a nandroid backup, will that nandroid help me revert back to stock after i have rooted my phone again?

Yes, it will make it a little easier. You will need to make the nandroid backup the first thing when you boot into recovery the first time before you root the phone. Save it to your computer for future use. If you are able to get the stock recovery from the firmware you can use it with your nandroid backup to get you close to stock. You would flash the stock recovery with the same commands as you flashed the custom recovery.
