Why ?
If I'm not wrong, you have to restore original recovery, 5 missing apps (they were lost during htcdev bootloader unlock procedure) and execute fastboot OEM lock.

You want to install OTA then you have to install a stock ROM with the same base for that region. You can't just flash an OTA zip even when your CID is the same. You need the right CID, MID and stock ROM to flash that specific OTA.
Where can I downloaded latest OTA?
Did you make nandroid backup before you flash cwm first time? If you have it, then extract original recovery from nandroid, restore everything using cwm, then flash original recovery and do fastboot OEM lock.
Don't forget to install 5 missing apps.

While trying to unroot my HTC one, I have followed the steps to relock the bootloader,which it worked with no errors.
I have used the following RUU <M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__039 / 1.29.980.2 (Australia Unbranded ) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874"
While trying to flash the RUU using command prompt, I always got "Signatures error" while trying to check the signature.
I am currently using "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023" Custom RUU and it is Rooted as mentioned above.
PLEASE HELP!!!! I would like to Unroot my HTC One M7
Thanks
1) You aren't using a ruu, but you're using a backup.
So, you have to use it with the CWM recovery!
2) Yes, you're using the "stock" rom with root.
THANKS!!!

Your LEGEND!!!!! Can you help me on how would I do it with CWM recovery?
THANKS HEAPSSS
You have to download the cwm recovery and flash it in fastboot.
After, booting in this, and restore the backup.

One more question!!!
Before I flash the RUU using CWM recovery, I need to Lock the bootloader right? and if i lock the bootloader, will i still be able to access the CWM recovery? to flash the STOCK ruu?
Hi there!
I've just switched over from iPhone to android and want to root my HTC One. But before I do that, I would first like to make a backup of the stock ROM and stock recovery (if I want to go back to stock later because of service, selling the device and so on).
When i searched the web i found this guide. The guide mentioned that you could boot TWRP through "fastboot boot recovery.img" without flashing the recovery and then make a nandroid backup of the entire stock system (with the recovery included).
But when i tried doing it through fastboot the boot loader frooze and i had to restart the phone. How do i make a backup of the stock ROM and recovery if i can't do it like described in the guide?
I know you should be able to install an RUU if you wan't to go back to stock but i run a carrier branded phone with a CID that has no available RUU's...
I currently run Stock HTC Sense ROM and recovery with a unlocked bootloader through htcdev.com.
So how do i make a backup of the stock recovery and ROM, I would really appreciate all possible answers and theories!
Thanks for the reply!
You can install TWRP and backup your stock ROM, and for the recovery what you can do is download an OTA update from somewhere around here on the forums, extract it and you will find the stock recovery inside it and you can flash it easily the same way you flash TWRP using fastboot but what I dont know is if you have to find an OTA for your carrier branded phone or the recovery isn't affected by carriers, I hope someone can answer this question!

Yes i also wonder if you have to find a specific OTA for your specific phone or if the recovery is "universal" for all different versions. My CID is H3G_G04 which seems to be a specific version for the operator three (3). I have not been able to find any RUU's or OTA's for that specific CID.
It would be awesome if anybody could answer this!
Thank you

If it's a new phone and has hboot 1.54 then you can't boot into recovery through fastboot as HTC have blocked this. You will have to flash recovery and then do your backups. There are plenty of sources around for the stock recovery if you require it later.

Is there any other way to extract a recovery from my phone? I can not find any RUU's or OTA's for my specific CID. It's almost like it didn't exist...

Recovery seems to be universal. Someone posted that they used this stock recovery to restore back to stock and get an OTA:

Hi,
I just got a brand new HTC One 7 (WWE, CID E_11) after my last one died. Im trying to root it and install a custom recovery to install arhd or insertcoin. I used htc one toolkit for this. Everything seemed to work ok, but after booting the installed rom (ARHD or insertcoin) the phone reboots after i see the login screen. I somehow managed to reinstall my phone again yesterday, as it was a complete (soft) brick.
I used this to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759000
Now does anyone know why I get a reboot loop? Does anyone know if i installed this stock rom if I get the normal OTA updates again? And do i need to relock the bootloader for this? I would really like to install stock roms again but I'm a little anxious after yesterday. (I've installed custom roms since the old HD2/HTC desire, and also on my old HTC One M7, never had any problems, I think it has to do with the Hboot).
Hoping to hear from you guys,
best wishes,

Flash the stock firmware 5.11.401.10! I think your firmware is mismatched.
By flashing the firmware after installing the Rom I might fix the bootloop? Or is the stock firmware necesarry to go back to stock? Sorry bit confused, thanks for your response btw

Flashing the firmware might fix the boot-loop, since you flashed the stock rom! If it does stop the boot-loops, you can re-install TWRP or CWM to get the custom recovery.

when using a sense custom rom you need to make sure you use twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery, do not use the toolkits, most of the time they are out of date and not updated, this would explain the bootloops, take the time to learn how to use adb and fastboot, you'll never look back.
nothing to do with the firmware and no need to flash it, if your firmware was knackered, you would have a hard brick.

First of all thanks for the quick response. I know how to use adb and fastboot (at least I think).
If i would (in this order) do the following, would that be correct?:
unlock using htdev
Flash twrp 2.6.3.3 using fastboot command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (naming twrp 2.6.3.3.img = recovery.img)
reboot bootloader
Flash SuperSU.zip in TWRP
reboot twrp
flash custom rom (ARHD).
The thing is it isn't a normal bootloop (which normally would come with the HTC logo all the time)
It reboots when I try to setup the phone (in the setup menu). Restoring the phone with the link in the OP, ive recoverd my phone, but I would still love to use custom roms again.

It seems that insertcoin had a problem in it's installer:
http://insertcoin-roms.org/category/devices/one_m7/one_sense6/
the changelog says: Fixed SuperSU install (might solve the sudden reboot issue in SetupWizard)
It left me without any rom to install, so i had to sideload ARHD, which it didnt want to install via sideload... The next step I isntalled stock again, which I'm using right now.. but I miss xposed framework and other tweaks too much..
I'm gonna try to unlock it again this afternoon and install insertcoin again, but this time ill make a backup first. Does installing the recovery wipe anything?

no it doesn't wipe anything, but you can use xposed and its tweaks on stock rom, you just need to root first, just install TWRP, enter recovery and again upon exit it will offer to root stock rom for you.
so say i upgrade my rooted htc one once the ota update becomes ready.. what happens? i dont want to end up with a bricked phone.. would it harm my phone in any way?

An OTA update will not work on a rooted phone! For the OTA to work it needs stock recovery, stock rom and all of the files that it is attempting to update. If anything is missing then it will error out and return to your present setup.
and to complete what majmoz already said, if your rom is 100% stock, and you have flashed back your stock recovery, the phone will update fine but you will loose root. You'll need to flash a custom recovery after the OTA to re-root the rom.
Guys you're very helpful and i must thank you for that. i am on the official 4.4.3 rom so i just need to restore the stock recovery? how to do that? and will the current rooting method work on lollipop (and should i follow the same steps to install clockwork recovery)? Will the ota update relock the bootloader?
i'm sorry if i'm asking too many questions but i don't trust any other forum.

If you have not modified anything to your rom (Kernel is stock and always was, you have not deleted any /system files and you still have or restored all the content in /data/preload (wiped during bootloader unlock), so yes all you need to do is to flash back the stock recovery that match your version.
how to do that?

The same way you did to flash a custom recovery:

You always flash the recovery using the same commands, stock or custom, on all versions its always:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

OTA updates will never affect the bootloader status (S-ON/S-OFF, LOCKED/UNLOCKED/RELOCKED)

So, if I did flash a custom kernel, and did uninstall system programs (but didn't flash a custom Rom), what are my options if I'd like to upgrade to lollipop?

Take the stock recovery out of the firmware.zip of the ota, flash that then try and update again.
But it also depends on what other mods you have done with your root etc, too many system mods and you'll just have to flash the stock full ruu of 7.19.401.2 to return to stock, then update, and then mod away.
Hi,
Sorry for delay and thanks for support.
I have extracted the firmware.zip and got 4 img files:
boot.img
hboot_signedbyaa.img
rcdata.img
recovery.img
Now series of basic question as I'm not feeling as an expert. I have rooted my phone half year ago and don't want to do something stupid now.
Which of above has to be flashed?
Is this the correct command: fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img ?
Another question is: do I lose my data?
Should I flush the newest twrp after OTA update?
I have clean HTC Stock ROM 'CID HTC__001 , HTC-WWE'
Thanks

[this is not 100% guaranteed]
the phone hangs after finishing the backup installation?
your stock recovery should be according to what version of firmware you are installing (although LP recovery works on KK).
wipe cahe and data if it still hangs then, try to flash stock [kitkat or lollipop] recovery again and then restart the phone.
I have download OTA, then extract and flash recovery.img. After reboot to system download an OTA again and it was installed without any errors but system stopped on white screen with HTC and android logo.
After three attempts I have restored nand backup and now phone is wroking, as before.
Is anything which I forgot?

you might want to flash the 7.19.401.22 ruu, it will update your phone and bring everything back to stock. RUU is in the general section, check sticky thread.

Looks like HTC didn't test this OTA very well, the update to .22 seems to soft brick a lot of phones, personally, as I use a custom rom on my M7, I just flashed the firmware only without a problem, just to bring it up to the latest, I didn't bother with the OTA, no point unless you are going to run stock rom.
What if I install RUU, how it affects to my data? It will wipe everything?

I will stay with current state. Hopefully I will not lose to much. Planning to have my M7 for the next year and then replace for the newer model.
