Hello,
I've spent the afternoon reading and researching and I'm confused. I'm completely new to this and would love some advice. I have an HTC One, I BELIEVE it was a Rogers phone. The person told me it was Rogers and all I did after was pop in the imei number into one of the unlock sits to unlock it. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any carrier updates when I finally figured out it had the Maximus 7 ROM installed.
So how can I tell if it definitely was a rogers phone? And does this matter if I want to restore it to factory?
It's currently not rooted, I checked with a root check app. The bootloader is unlocked. Can I follow mike1986's guide to restore it to stock?
These instructions specifically? He says only for users with .401 devices, how do I know if mine's a .401?
I've read and read and I haven't been able to find the answer. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Method 1 - only for users with .401 devices (for more info click here - RUU variants)
Visit this thread - [ROM] HTC One *STOCK* ROM
Download stock odexed version of most recent firmware and recovery.img
Move recovery.img to c:\mini-sdk location
Boot your device in recovery mode (power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "RECOVERY")
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard".
Navigate to the location of stock ROM (zip) package and confirm flashing procedure.
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device in bootloader mode.
Connect your device to the PC
Boot your device in fastboot mode (like you did during unlocking bootloader - power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "FASTBOOT")
Open up command prompt ( Start > Run > type cmd and hit enter ). The window that appears is called Command Prompt. <click here to see the image>
Navigate to where you unzipped "mini-sdk" package (type in Command Prompt: cd c:\mini-sdk). Note: make sure the path is not c:\mini-sdk\mini-sdk
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You have now stock boot, system and recovery partitions. Time to relock your bootloader.
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot oem lock
Also, is this method that same as using a RUU if one was available? From what I understand the RUU restore is just a simpler method?
Check your CID in the bootloader power + volume down
I used CID Getter and it says CID is ROGER001

From what I understand, the Rogers One is not a .401 device, so i think this method you state is out for now. There is still methods 2 and 3, but I wasn't able to find a Rogers RUU or stock rom backup yet.

Going back to stock
What you need to know before going back to stock:
Your bootloader will never be "LOCKED" again. You can't restore it. You can only relock it.
"TAMPERED" text in bootloader will disappear only after proceeding method 2.
There are 3 main methods. All three will be described below.
Method 1 - only for users with .401 devices (for more info click here - RUU variants)
Visit this thread - [ROM] HTC One *STOCK* ROM
Download stock odexed version of most recent firmware and recovery.img
Move recovery.img to c:\mini-sdk location
Boot your device in recovery mode (power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "RECOVERY")
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard".
Navigate to the location of stock ROM (zip) package and confirm flashing procedure.
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device in bootloader mode.
Connect your device to the PC
Boot your device in fastboot mode (like you did during unlocking bootloader - power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "FASTBOOT")
Open up command prompt ( Start > Run > type cmd and hit enter ). The window that appears is called Command Prompt. <click here to see the image>
Navigate to where you unzipped "mini-sdk" package (type in Command Prompt: cd c:\mini-sdk). Note: make sure the path is not c:\mini-sdk\mini-sdk
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You have now stock boot, system and recovery partitions. Time to relock your bootloader.
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot oem lock
Method 2 - flashing RUU (ROM Update Utility)
Visit this or this thread.
Find proper RUU for your device
Connect your device to the PC
Boot your device in fastboot mode (like you did during unlocking bootloader - power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "FASTBOOT")

Navigate to where you unzipped "mini-sdk" package (type in Command Prompt: cd c:\mini-sdk). Note: make sure the path is not c:\mini-sdk\mini-sdk
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot oem lock
Flash RUU and follow on screen instructions.
You have now completely stock software on your device.
Method 3 - flashing nandroid backup
In custom recovery restore nandroid backup you did after flashing custom recovery for the first time.
If you performed nandroid backup before permanently flashing custom recovery, your stock recovery should be now flashed.
If you still have custom recovery, extract recovery.img from your nandroid backup.
Move recovery.img to c:\mini-sdk location
Connect your device to the PC
Boot your device in fastboot mode (like you did during unlocking bootloader - power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "FASTBOOT")

Hi guys,
Accidentally wiped the internal storage and system files, was distracted and on phone with someone else and messed it up. Didn't do a backup because I'm selling the phone and backed up all my stuff to PC before going with the wipe.
Current status:
-Tampered
-Unlocked
-S-On
-Hboot 1.44
-Bootloader with fastboot working
-Recovery TWRP 2.8.0.0. working
-Fastboot recognizes device
-Adb doesn't recognize device
-Have managed to push a stock TWRP nandroid backup for Developer Ediion by mounting. It sits along with the TWRP folder in /sdcard
-Tried RESTORE button through TWRP recovery, can't see the ROM.zip file
-Tried INSTALL button through TWRP Recovery, gets stuck at "updating partition details"
Please help me, thanks in advance.

You will need to unzip the nandroid backup and place it in the <serial #> directory for TWRP to see it. The nandroid backup folder needs to be in //sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/<Serial #>/<Nandroid_folder_name>. You might also change to TWRP 2.6.3.3 it works best with stock roms.
Thanks, i can try this today. If its possible, can you put up a screenshot showing the exact filepath.. Or confirm if what I understood below is accurate.
/sdcard/twrp/backup/serial #/nandroid/<contents of zip file>

See attached pictures, this is the view from the zip. You see there is only one folder in the zip. This folder is extracted out of the zip and it becomes the folder that is placed in the serial # folder. The contents of the folder are shown in the second picture. The serial # is the serial # of your phone. If you don't know it then you can find it in fastboot getvar all.
One more thing. The mount function is very inconsistent. Out of 60-70 attempts.. It mounted only once properly and I could push the stock ROM to the phone. Is there a way to unpack the zip in twrp?

No, I don't think you can unpack the zip in TWRP. Just what is the file you are trying to move? Could you give the name and location where you got the file?
I got it from htc1guru database. Its the M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID BS US001 1.29.1540.3 .. Its for the developer edition which is the same as my phone..
Currently the phone only has twrp folder on sdcard.. And inside twrp, there's .twrps
. that's it.. I will have to create a new folder called backup, a new folder with their serial number as its name etc.

That file may not work with your phone it is pretty outdated. Can you post a fastboot getvar all (except for imei and serialno)? So, we can see if there is a better version or way to do the same thing.
Ok I will post the details when I get back home tonight.. Any other ideas? Anyway to get the adb working? I could then use revone for s-off and then RUU from desktop

ADB works in OS if USB Debugging is enabled and in custom recovery. In other words, the phone is in Recovery and attached to your computer you can run the command adb devices and you should see your serial number and next to it "recovery". If you are in FASTBOOT USB, only fastboot will work not ADB. Depending on your hboot you can use revone (hboot 1.4X), rumrunner (hboot 1.54) or firewater (hboot 1.5X) to achieve S-OFF.
Adb doesn't work. I tried adb devices and it would not return any values. Fastboot devices always gave the serial number but not adb. I have hboot1.44 and because of adb device not found I can't push revone too

Here try this method:
How to get ADB to recognize the device
After you re-install adb & fastboot
Disconnect your phone from the computer
Then reboot the computer and open the command window
Type: adb kill-server
Then when it is finished
Type: adb start-server
Now connect your phone to the PC
Type: adb devices

This is an old method that I used to get S-OFF with revone:
Revone S-OFF on the phone methodRevone Download:
http://revolutionary.io/revone
Big thanks to the Revolutionary dev team. The original thread can be found here.
Written instructions:
Download the Revone file above and transfer it to your phone (or download on your phone)
Use a root file explorer and paste the file inside the /data/local/tmp folder
Open a terminal emulator and type the following:
Code:
[B][I]su[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]cd /data/local/tmp[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]chmod 755 revone[/I][/B] (enter) (IF revone doesn’t work, type revone.bin)
[B][I]./revone -P[/I][/B] (enter)
Reboot
Open terminal again and type:
Code:
[B][I]su[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]cd /data/local/tmp[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]./revone -s 0 -u[/I][/B] (That would be a ZERO) (enter)
Reboot
That’s it! To get rid of the tampered, or relock, follow instructions below
To remove “tampered”
open terminal
Code:
[B][I]cd /data/local/tmp[/I][/B]
[B][I]su[/I][/B]
[B][I]./revone.bin -t[/I][/B]
These are other commands that you can fill in above to
-u – Unlock the device
-l – Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)
-r – Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)
-t – Reset the device’s tamper flag.

Let's get a rom on your phone first. Did you have a rom that you wanted to put on your phone? It should be a Sense ROM.
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

That file is a RUU rom zip for your phone. I believe you will have to flash it in bootloader like firmware. Your bootloader will need to be relocked.
Rename file to rom.zip and put in your fastboot/adb folder.
Put the phone in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
After that, type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

The phone came with an unlocked bootloader. Then why do I need to relock it. You have given me 2 sets of instructions above.. One is using adb and other is flashing the ruu in bootloader.
I managed to solve boot problems with broken Desire 500 HTC's (not booting, orange led blinking, vibrating 7 times etc.)
Just put your phone without battery in a ziplock bag in the freezer for 1 hour (not kidding). Let it sit for another 1/2 hour at room temperature, then insert battery and try booting into fastboot. If it doesn't work, remove battery and try again in half hour. Try until it boots, I tried about 15 times before I managed to boot into fastboot mode. So don't give up. After you manage to boot into fastboot mode, follow this guide to restore your phone functionality.
Works for:
HTC Desire 500 and maybe other HTC phones
If you are on Windows 7, skip this next step. To install ADB and Fastboot drivers on Windows 8 and 10, forum member @kmark23 posted the following solution:
1. Uninstall all drivers for HTC phone
2. Install latest HTC Sync Manager
3. Connect phone in normal mode
4. Connect phone in fastboot mode (system reports unrecognized device)
5. Run regedit as administrator
6. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags
7. Right-click on usbflags, click new > key, name it 0BB40FF00100
8. Select 0BB40FF00100 and in the right window right click > new > binary value
9. Rename created binary value to SkipBOSDescriptorQuery
10. Right click SkipBOSDescriptorQuery > modify binary data, type 01 00 00 00 , click ok
11. Unplug usb cable and plug again.
12. In fastboot cmd window type fastboot devices, press enter and see if your device is listed
Connect your phone directly to the PC and don't use a USB 3.0 port, only 2.0

Your battery should be at least 40% charged before doing this. And of course, do everything at your own risk, I am not responsible for any bricked devices.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Z4U = single sim
Z4DUG = dual sim
Download 0P3ZIMG HTC Europe or Asia for your phone (single or dual sim) and region
If you want to use the RUU files instead, your bootloader must be locked. Instructions on how to relock the bootloader are below. After that, just run the RUU file as admin on your pc and follow on screen istructions, but your phone must have the correct CID (country ID) for the region the RUU is intended for, or else it won't install. If the RUU installer force closes click here for the solution.
You can also extract the ROM file from the RUU then flash it using fastboot, just like 0P3ZIMG files in this guide. To extract the ROM file, run the RUU as admin and after the install wizard don't click nothing, just let the window opened. Click windows Start and in the search box type %temp% and go to the folder. While in temp folder, in the search window in windows explorer type rom.zip and press enter. Copy the file rom.zip to your fastboot folder and use it like 0P3ZIMG files described next in this guide.

Does this solve problem with vibrations from rumrunner proto 0.71 S-OFF or vibrations still stay?And can i use only disabled driver signature enforcement on windows 8.1 without modifying registry i run windows 8.1 on BIOS not UEFI and have legacy boot mode so i can on F8 select disable driver signature enforcement on number 7.
This should solve any software caused problems, since it rewrites the bootloader, radio, recovery, system partition and data partition. Your phone will be S-ON and unrooted, just like it came from the factory. I don't know about the driver signature enforcement on windows 8.1, I didn't try it. I only tested the above solution on windows 10, both Legacy and UEFI boot.
If you are S-OFF you can use any RUU .exe file if you do this:
Boot into fastboot mode, enter the command "fastboot oem readcid". Make a note of your original CID.
Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Enter the command "fastboot read cid" - it should confirm your CID is 11111111
Reboot the bootloader.
Don't forget, before you flash the RUU you have to relock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock command
It doesn't work. After I type fastboot flash zip Z4UIMG.img i get an error "FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)".

Your bootloader must be locked before you flash
Your must flash the file matching your phone CID, otherwise it won't install. HTC signed encrypted files check the country id and firmware version before they install. So you can not downgrade the firmware, only upgrade it. Try the RUU_Z4_DUG_Asia file if the European does not work. Check your phone CID with fastboot oem readcid and see for wich country your phone is.

When you connect your phone, don't use a USB3.0 port, only 2.0. I have the same CID as you and had no error flashing European HTC file. Try with the bootloader unlocked, try another data cable, remove phone battery and start the process again. You can copy Z4DUGIMG to your SD card and reboot the phone in fastboot. Hboot scans the SD card, and the update should automatically begin, but I haven't tried this. As a last solution, use Rumrunner s-off to get s-off (works with Desire 500). After S-OFF write your CID with command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (SuperCID) and you should be able to install any HTC firmware for this phone.

Have you tried flashing the 0P3ZIMG Z4_U HTC Europe using fastboot commands and didn't work? Have you used a usb 2.0 port?
Check out this thread also and try the roms there for your hboot version

Download the European RUU Z4_U (not the 0P3ZIMG). Run the RUU on your computer until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar. There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC recovery and it is needed to run the RUU. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
Unlock your bootloader
Open a command prompt in ADB folder. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
Relock the bootloader using the following command:
fastboot oem lock
Re-run the RUU on your PC

I think there is a problem with your fastboot drivers or with the data cable you are using. I will try to get the recovery.img for your phone. What is your Hboot ver.?
