[Q] Rogers back to stock (or as close as possible) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am sending my HTC One back for repairs for a blown speaker, they say that they cant do it if it is unlocked, or if there is a custom setup. I flashed a rogers nandroid backup, but now I have 3 issues. It says tampered, relocked (which i did) and when you try to go into recovery it boots into fastboot.
I would like it to appear fully stock, but if that isnt possible is it possible to get the recovery back working so that when they inevitably try to do a factory reset, they will have the normal recovery?

Well to get rid of the tampered issue you will need to S-OFF your device.
S-off device with revone
Flash stock nandroid
Flash stock recovery
Remove tampered sign with s-off command
Lock bootloader with s-off command
Set s-on
Remove revone bin file from device.
Remember s-off isnt as easy as you think. It's gonna take a couple tries.

EDIT: I got it, now just need to figure out how to load nandroid backup without putting CWM on..

Is there a location with the stock recovery for the rogers one?
Also is there a guide anywhere with the s-off commands?

There is one nandroid dump for a Rogers device in the nandroid collection. As for achieving s-off I suggest the revone thread.

Also, I believe any stock recovery should be sufficient, but maybe someone will chime in on this matter.

[Q] Q backup before root?

Hi,
is it possible to backup a stock htc one, as shipped from new before rooting, so that i can restore back to stock. I know this is possible on tablets I have had in the past by running recovery via fastboot from a pc, but how can this be done with a htc one?
Yes. This works like a charm if you do it properly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
P.s., it works on the HTC One. Not only on Nexus.

I think fastboot boot recovery.img stopped working with 1.54, but it's worth a go. Anyway, there are plenty of stock recoveries floating around.

I did ask HTC to reflash stock (as when received from ee) so, hopefully I will get 1.44 bootloader. I am pretty sure I flashed recovery via fastboot on 1.54 previously after the last repair. I'll see if my memory is correct tomorrow hopefully. Its seems so long since I had the htc one I have forgotten. I have been playing with the s3 for nearly two weeks now. Hopefully I will have a crack free htc one tomorrow, else I suppose it will be another two weeks!!
I'll update here.

I said fastboot boot, not fastboot flash recovery.
fastboot boot would allow a nandroid backup of stock recovery.
Doooh. My bad...

Hi,I should be getting my htc one back today at long last, hopefully with 1.44 bootloader. Thanks for the excellent info above. Looks just the job. Can I ask if this will also restore s-on after doing an s-off. i.e.
- backup factory 1.44 device
- root s-off revone etc
- restore from backup (back to s-on)
- root s-off moonshine etc
- restore from original backup to restore s-on
A nandroid backup will not restore your hboot or S-ON.
With 1.44 hboot you will be able to
- boot recovery and take a stock nandroid that includes your stock recovery
- S-OFF, S-ON, lock bootloader without a trace
With 1.54 hboot you will be able to
- flash recovery and take a stock nandroid that includes your custom recovery, but you can get a stock recovery from xda
- S-ON, lock bootloader but it will show as relocked

Hi, thanks for this. In this case if my HTC One is returned with 1.54 I will be returning it/exchanging it for an s4. I am negotiating with HTC/EE at the moment so this is very useful to know before I do anything with the device. If I cant get s-off I wont accept it.
That's going to be a hard one to argue. I refuse this phone because you have applied a valid update that does not allow me to do an unauthorised modification to allow further modifications undetected?

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.

If you fully converted to GPe, then you have s-off. Change the CID and flash a WWE Developers Edition RUU.

You can't with s-on. Flash a backup of your carriers stock rom and a stock recovery. Your phone will still say Tampered and Relocked.

If you never S-off before then you haven't changed your CID. If that's the case then follow @Mike1986 guide to going back to stock. Use method 3.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618. Grab the CWM stock Nandroid for your device from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45187010&postcount=1. [deleted]
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.

Will following what you said make the root untraceable. Meaning the warranty will be unvoided?

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.

You don't flash a nandroid. You unzip it and use the restore function.

How to gain 100% stock without modding?

Right I've been searching everywhere and they is no 100% stock available. Everything has to be rooted or some sort of recovery mod!
What I've done..
My handset is S-OFF
Bootloader is LOCKED
Tampered flag is GONE
Handset is back to STOCK (Used Guru Reset Tool)
Now there is one problem, I still have CWM Recovery!! How the hell do I go back to stock recovery without rooting or modding my handset again??

Just flash a ruu, you'll get stock rom and recovery. But, you'll remail s-off. I suggest you don't try to get s-on again, it's pretty risky and you could brick your phone. You can flash a modified hboot that masks the s-off to look like s-on

I've already gone back to stock, and everything is okay as you can see it's just getting rid of the CWM recovery. I'm not bothered about S-OFF.

[Q] Sending device in for repair, what software precautions should I take?

I have one of the bad camera sensors, and rather than live with it I'm hoping HTC can fix it.
I unlocked the bootloader on my device, and I was wondering: would HTC refuse service for this? Also, should I go S-Off and remove the "tampered with" message?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Definitely relock and remove tampered label using revone

Well crap. Thanks for the prompt response!
I assume that also means I should revert to the stock ROM. Or would the Google Play ROM be be OK?

ReLOCKED isn't really recommended
S-off is usually okay, but RELOCKED, hmmm.
Might wanna look at my guide.

Now I'm not sure what to do. I'm working on S-Off right now to remove the tampered. Aside from flashing a stock ROM (I'll assume for now Google Play edition is fine), is there anything else I should do?

Honestly, you should go completely stock (with the software that came with your phone, i.e dont leave it gpe if it was sense based etc). Look @nkk71's guide to going stock, all the info you need is there
You can leave it s-off if you please but i would definitely LOCK the bootloader instead of RELOCKING since ive heard/read a few cases where they didn't fix the device since it was re-locked making it void of its warranty. Now personally, i would even go as far as S-ON, just to be on the safe side. I can attest that ive s-offed with rumrunner, s-oned, and then s-offed again with rumrunner (on my device) and it worked so you can s-off again when you get the device back.
Then once you get the device back you don't have to start all the way from the beginning with htc-dev, just use the same unlock code you got the first time(if you don't have it saved you can check the email it was sent in), and then proceed from the last step that was flash it in adb to unlock your phone again
Yeah sorry I meant relock as in lock bootlosder so on top it says *LOCKED*

[Q] Phone stuck in bootloop after trying to get back to stock

Hey everyone,
The time has come for me to sell my phone so I needed to revert it completely back to stock, Was using the latest Viperone rom with elemental X kernel. I downloaded a stock rom, moved it to my phone and flashed it, however the phone is now stuck in a bootloop on the HTC logo and I have no idea how to proceed.
I still have access to recovery, but the phone does not show up in windows no more for me to move files to and from it.
I've included a picture of my bootloader to help. Really at an ends with how to get my phone working again even after looking through these forums for the past two days, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

push a rooted custom rom with /system writable functionality to /sdcard using adb push from recovery
flash the rom
s-off the phone using rumrunner or firewater
remove the tampered flag and set your bootloader to locked
restore your phone back to stock using the correct ruu. (probably 1.28.401.7 in your case)
better to keep the phone s-off
