I could really use your help guys. I'm trying to get back to stock so I can get the updates being pushed by HTC/Rogers. There are a couple bugs that are really annoying me. So, before i tell you what I need, here's what I have.
M7_ul
Locked Bootloader - was relocked after unlocking a while ago
Rooted
CWM recovery
Stock HTC ROM
S-OFF
Baseband 4a.14.3250.14
Main 1.29.631.4
Modelid: PN0712000
CID: Roger001
Now, what I need is either the RUU or the stock recovery files and some sort of guide on how to install them. I've tried downloading from here: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P60 but i can't flash it via CWM. I've also tried downloading and RUU from here: http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...5013-1033115001-release-312087-signed-2-4zip/ but when i unzip i get corrupt files and i can't move it to the phone.
I'm at a complete loss here. I would really appreciate any guidance you guys can provide. Any idea where I can get the proper RUU and how I can install it? Or if it's easier to just get the stock recovery, any idea where I can get it and how to install it using CWM or another method such as terminal emulator?
no need to relock bootloader is s-off'd
easiest way, IF there is an ruu or ruu zip for the rogers variant (you would need the ruu files that match 1.29.631.4) floating around i suggest this...back up sd card contents,boot into recovery...wipe the system,reboot into bootloader connect device via fastboot,run the ruu..one it boots except the ota
done
but how do i run the RUU and how do I know which exactly is the right RUU for me? I've heard RUUs are exe files but i haven't found any that are. The one I think is right for me is a zip and it seems to be corrupt though I dled the 1gb file twice. So i'm a bit confused.

You can find the RUU you need here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874
Hope to has been usefull
Thanks so much. But I'm still not sure which version to get. I tried the RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.3_R_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_311678_signed.exe but no go. I get an error. Says it's the wrong ROM. Ugh. I've had no luck with this. So frustrating.

So, I've tried Rogers 1.29.631.4.zip which is an nandroid backup but no go on that either, using CWM. At a total loss here.

This is what I did and it worked like a charm... minus of course the issue after the software update which got fixed anyway.

Ugh. Thanks cue_32. I had just downloaded that file when I saw your post, so I was very hopeful this would work. Pushed it to my phone, tried installing via CWM but almost immediately it said installation aborted. I have no idea what's going on. Nothing seems to be installable. WTF? And the link you posted for the stock recovery doesn't seem to lead to anywhere that has a recovery file for DL. So, I'm totally stuck now. UGH. Been on this for almost 2 days now. Haven't run into this much trouble with any of my previous phones, despite trying out almost a dozen different ROMs. Here, I'm just trying to revert to stock recovery and RUU and can't even do that. Sigh. I just don't get why none of the RUUs are installable.

There's no RUU available yet for Rogers so I personally wouldn't try any other RUU.
So you downloaded the Nandroid backup from Whamboush (or whatever the name was), you extracted and moved the EXTRACTED FOLDER to the proper location (Clockwork>Backup) and updated the permissions correct? I used Root Browser to do this, the permission should be exactly like your other CWM backups. If I recall correctly there are 3 columns with 3 rows, all are X'd except for the last box on the 2nd column\3rd Row. (middle\bottom)
example:
X X X
X X X
X _ X
From there I just did the restore using the original clock work mod (non-touch cause I'm old skool)
After it successfully flashes, before it prompts you to reboot you'll be prompted to re-root from within CWM itself. Select No.
After it reboots, test to make sure everything is ok.
Then enter fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader), from fastboot mode you can then flash the recovery.
You're welcome

If I had the original nandroid, of the original Rom for example, would all that one needs to do is flash it and unroot and that's it?

Flash, unroot (if necessary) and flash stock recovery, which is what the instructions I provided, and optional lock the boot loader
So, I tried changing the permissions, which I hadn't done before, using Root Explorer but it says that some files can't be modified. So I can't set the permissions and CWM won't see those files at all, so that's not an option it seems. So I decided to just flash the recovery but when i do i get an error in adb Failed (remote: not allowed). So, that's not working either. Hehe. Every time I think i got it, something stands in the way. Will definitely feel like an accomplishment when i get this thing done finally, just not sure how or when it'll happen.

well, interested in another option.....i havent done this, but some people do...
change you CID to some device which has rcvd OTA, like mine is HTC_J15....just an example... now your mobile would be WWE internation blah blah... now grab the RUU.exe for it....backup all your data...and run it.....and then go for the OTA's ...in short the region of your device would be changed... you will have to find it in the forum itself... there are tutorials out there to do it...
Well, I'm leaving for the weekend, so I'll have to put this aside for now. In my research I had come across what you are suggesting but it seemed like more trouble and a little confusing so I opted against it, but maybe I'll have to revisit it when i get back. Hopefully you guys will still be around to provide some guidance. I do appreciate all your help. THanks again.

alrighty! ill keep that in mind, thinking of rooting! i had a htc sensation i bought online, if anything would happen to it i couldnt do anything about it, so i rooted and kept it like that. Now a Rogers One.. different lol. Thanks!

Just to be sure, the EXTRACTED FOLDER I'm referring to is the last folder before you see ALL the files of the 'ROM' like boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, recovery.img, etc...This folder is the one you want to make the permission changes to.
I had the exact same problem before and tried on ES File explorer, Astro File explorer, and Root browser (not root explorer although Im sure it works too). (I've never had to have this many installed at once) but basically this was the problem because after I extracted and updated the permission using Root browser, it worked on 1st try.
What I had done as well is make sure I was moving the extracted folder to the proper location by doing a nandroid back up first. From there I located the backup I just created and moved the extracted folder there. Once the extracted folder is in the right place, I went and used root browser and updated the permissions.
This totally worked Cue. Thank you so much. Finally managed to get the nandroid back up flashed, but then when I went to flash the recovery, i got an error: Failed (remote: not allowed). Ugh. So baby steps, but still in the right direction. So now my status is, Locked bootloader, s-off, flashed nandroid backup, but still have CWM recovery which I apparently can't seem to shake. Anyone know where I can maybe find a .zip recovery that I can try flashing via CWM? Not sure whether that's even possible, as CWM would essentially be overwriting itself but not sure what other options i have. From the research I've done so far though, it seems i can't flash a recovery with a locked bootloader. It does feel like i'm going around in circles here.

Do i really have to go through the entire unlock bootloader process to flash stock recovery? Ugh. I honestly don't get why this is so complicated. My previous phones were SOOO much simpler in comparison. This just feels like way too much trouble. I originally just wanted a rooted phone to get rid of bloatware and other small tweaks. I had no idea it would have such annoying consequences. Now, I'm just trying to get the stock ROM updated with HTC's latest bug fixes and software upgrade before i try and custom roms. I suspect it's not going to get easier though. I think once i get this finally done, i'm just going to leave the phone as is, completely stock at least until the 4.2.2 upgrade. Then after that I'll root it again. I used to love this process of rooting, installing custom roms, etc. Was fun, but this is just tedious as all hell. Hehe. Anyway, enough ranting. Ya, if anyone can tell me what my next step is, I'd be grateful.

This is an update on a previous post, this time however you don't have to sieve through Chinese websites to get them....i have spent time to get them for you!
This Will revert your HTC Salsa to Stock
By using these you will wipe everything you have done. Recovery will be wiped, unknown about lock/unlocked boot-loader as i haven't attempted this with unlocked boot-loader before as.i had s-off at the time.
You do this at your own risk, i take no responsibility at all for anything that may or may not happen lol
Instructions for use.
HTC SYNC installed but not running, you want the cable driver mainly.
Instead of following on screen instruction via the RUU, set your phone into fastboot mode yourself then activate/run the RUU.exe you require, i would suggest run as administrator (right click on application)
This will take some time to install, i did it on 3rd attempt, first 2 were relying on the RUU to boot the phone for me...3rd i booted into fastboot/bootloader myself and away it went.
if for any reason it doesn't respond to you or it doesn't install stock or freezes, whip out the battery and do it all again!
Below are the RUU's please find the correct region your in and download accordingly. EU RUU is a common one if the others don't work. all roms are based of this version.
RUU_Icon_G_HTCCN_CHS_1.24.1400.4_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7.47.35.17_release_204455_signed.exe

as the link in the lower post suggested you can also try this
*this wasn't provided by me please don't blame me if anything goes wrong*
1. Download your RUU
2. Extract and copy the system.img AND boot.img to the same directory as your fastboot tools "C:/fastboottools" ( make sure to copy both files )
3. Enter the fastboot mode on your phone by pressing volume down + power button after the device has been turned off.
4. Choose fastboot on the phone by pressing power button, and then connect your phone to your PC
5. Using fastboot tools, open the Command prompt and navigate to "C:\fastboottools" then run this command on cmd: "fastboot flash system system.img"
6. Dont reboot, Using fastboot tools, run this command on cmd: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
( The two commands in step 5 and 6 are different, make sure to type each one correctly and to do them straight after each other )
7. Reboot phone. let it boot up, you will still get bootloop or error message.
8. Take out the battery.
9. Boot back into bootloader ( Volume down + power ).
10. Now choose recovery.
11. Phone should now reboot itself and bam, all should now work fine.
Well it seems a lot of you shadows hiding away wanted these lol, as the downloads in 1 day surprised me lol.

I managed to revert back to stock using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631121
Now I am running 2.3.3
Now i just want to update to 2.3.5 if possible, haven't been able to get OTA updates. Do you know how i can go about it?
CWM recovery is still intact.
Thanks
The salsa will never have 2.3.5 ota. HTC stopped at 2.3.3 and discontinued updates for us. well the stopped producing the salsa and totally dropped it.
that's why we have 2.3.5 roms that are not meant for us...ie no FB button that works correctly, no mirror or front facing camera.
and this is probably why noone is still running stock roms anymore

getting error 155 again and again. Used RUU_Europe, RUU_UK, RUU_Asia_WWE, RU_Asia_India. Rebooted to the fastboot screen myself but the RUU takes over from the white screen and fastboot menu and goes into the black screen with HTC written. Tried letting RUU boot itself but still same error.
EDIT:
I have previously unlocked bootloader to gain Root Access since I had S-ON on my device. Need help urgently. Can I revert back to a locked Bootloader or anything ?
Now I have relocked the bootloader and tried the Europe Salsa RUU.... It is giving me Error 140 now claiming the bootloader version is invalid.
HBOOT is updated and I notice that the Radio version mentioned on Fastboot Bootloader screen is different than mentioned in the RUU.
Mine says:

ok after of hours of fiddling around with this, I have come to the point where I really need the system.img and boot.img files
my phone is stuck at the htc boot screen with white background.
I have installed htc cable driver and got fastboottools files created and did some googling and found out that the only other way to install this is by running the exe while in fastboot and have to bootloader "relocked"
I tried to extract them from the executable using 7-zip but can't see them there.
Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

in all fairness mate, i can't help on this. these guides were provided by others and has been known to work for us. i have not tried this and will not be trying this either as i have no desire to revert. what i do mention in all rom threads is this. take a backup of your stock rom in recovery before you tamper or change anything, this way you can revert straight back to your stock rom, no questions asked.
i would think though you may not have either installed correctly or its the wrong ruu, but i can't tell

you won't get a zip version ruu only stock as i listed rom wise. now did you lock the bootloader before trying to add stock back on?
if you did there's part of your problem.
unlock it again, go find stock.zip in stock rom thread in android development section and flash it....then lock the bootloader. if you lock the loader again please note root etc won't work/function correctly again. to have any root privilege's you require either s-off or unlocked bootloader.

tends to be normal that, but just to let you know...i have only ever reset using the ruu once before and it took along time to do it! since then ive never gone back. ive flashed stock.zip which gave me back stock...but its not for me.
so flash my stock.zip nothing else.
if it is just Facebook your having issues with then don't just swap roms or go back to stock, it won't help, it will probably make it worse to be honest. im using a new black Facebook as i hosted in the thread in android apps section and have no problems with it.
just make sure you have Facebook installed and moved to sd only.

no way to downgrade sorry.
it has been noted elsewhere that this Facebook issue tends to fail when its installed on normal internal memory or as an update on-top of the system Facebook already installed.
you can tell if this is the case by going into link2sd and looking at Facebook.apk, it may have a green updated next to it. you can remove this update by uninstalling it.
i don't have this problem as it works fine on CM7.
you can try and uninstall the Facebook you have, go into recovery wipe cache/dalvik and reboot, apparently this removes all traces it was there.
reboot and install Facebook 2.0 or black which ever.
using link2sd move it to the sdcard and then try it.
i am gonna try this on other roms when i can to see if this works or not.

ok ill give it a shot
Hey everyone new poster to the forums here . Have a question about loosing the stock ROM for my HTC M7 Dev edition. I made the backup but I think when I formatted I formatted more then I should have because when I pull up TWRP recovery mode to restore a backup nothing is listed in the window. However when I go into the internal storage in windows on my computer with the phone connected and look inside HTC One\Internal storage\TWRP\BACKUPS I found a folder called HT34GW9xxxxx and a sub directory with a date on it and it looks like the date that I did the flash in the first place. That folder also has 13 files in it equaling out to 4.25GB in size. So basically what I'm getting at is how come I can see this folder here but not in recovery and even if I could see it in recovery this seems like it's not large enough to be HTC Sense 5.0 according to this thread and the downloads attached to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248997&highlight=nandroid
Also speaking of that thread considering the original M7 Dev rom is gone can I use that thread to restore my phone even though I am using TWRP and not clockwork. I'm not the greatest at these type of things, I don't want to brick my phone, and I never have enough time invest in this stuff. If I knew this was going to happy I probably wouldn't have done it in the first place lol.
Thank you in advance and sorry if this has already been talked about, I did a search but I must have skipped over it if it was already out there :\.

Thank you for the help. A follow up question would be is there a place to get someone's previous backup and download it like the link I put up in the previous posts user did. I really don't want to lock the boot loader and I would love to just be able to easily get Cyanogenmod back on the phone easily. Reason being is that right now the Cm camera just isn't up to pay with the Sense camera software and if I go to an event like I am tonight I would like to be able to swap back and fourth.
TWRP and CWM backups aren't compatible with each other. You'd have to flash the relevant recovery to use a corresponding backup.
You still have your backup though. You said as much in your OP. You just need to go into TWRP settings and specify the default location for your backups.
As mentioned above however, you can just flash the official RUU to return to stock
Thanks a ton!
Just wanna say thanks to the both of you for your help. I went with option 2 for now because I want to switch back to CM after the Cardinals MLB game tonight. I never lost the backup and you were right I just had to find the folder. It was weird I didn't see any button to search for a folder kinda odd how TWRP is layer out in that interface. Yet I found the backed up file and took about 10 minutes from start to finish. The device is still unlocked to so I can reflash CM when I'm ready.
A little off topic but does anyone know what the difference between the GSM Cyanogenmod ROMs and the AT&T ROMs are? I have the Dev version but flashed the AT&T version and it ran fine made calls and had no data transfer issues at all.
Ok so I actually started having issues after that last post. What was happening was I kept getting this HTC system update my guess the Camera software update but whatever. So I clicked on the update now and it downloaded like normal then reboot. After it reboot it booted into TWRP recovery well at that point I didn't know what to do so I just went a head and rebooted into System. Well here is where the issue started it said again system update avalible ok great install, same deal it just booted back into TWRP after the download. Back into system I went and again same thing.
At this point I desided to go into TWRP and do a system restore and I thought that worked cause it wasn't notifying me immediately after the launcher loaded to install the update. So I checked for it manually and of course there was one. Tapped on Install it downloaded and asked to reboot so I did...
SAME ISSUE AHHHHGGG! Lol
This will be the end of me haha.
Is there something I'm missing here? Can I not have root access or a a third party boot loader like TWRP or both modifying the system. What am I missing?
Ok thanks again, sorry for the multiple posts I'm just so frustrated at this point.

This my very wild guess. Try flashing stock recovery first and then install the OTA update again. That's just my wild guess I'm not saying it will 100% work.
No luck

Hopefully this helps..
What I did find was this link here...http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc...ml#post2827047 that's where someone else is having the same issue but on Sprint I'm guessing. So that doesn't really apply to me. However a poster further down the thread gave another link to all these "nandroid?" files. I'm not really sure what a nandroid is haha I'm such a noob at this. Basically what they are saying is that unrooting it then i guess somehow putting this "nandroid" file on it somehow. Anyone have any idea on this. I'm terribly sorry for my noobishness but I'm trying to learn all this and it's really frustrating at first..
Here's the link to the nandroid files. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2207874 funny thing is that I actually found that link on Android Central website so that I could come back here and repost about it again heh. Anyways does that look like something that might fix the issue that I'm having?
Even if this file does help I have no idea what to do with it but that first link seemed to have some video's attached to it although I worry about following them because it's for Sprint and I really don't want to brick my phone. (another reason I am being so careful) You pay over 600 dollars for a device you tend to be super careful with anything you do with it.

All fixed!!
Ok so I got it. I ended up finding this http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unrootunbrick-the-htc-one-to-stock-2/
Worked great fixed everything. Linked to the RUU on HTC Dev website also so its official.:good:
So basically if Anyone need to restore to factory from a mess they have made follow this guide it works perfectly and he does an execelent job of describing how to do it in a video he posted step by step.
So I just successfully rooted my lovely HTC One from Sprint. I've got TWRP 2.6.0.1 on it and all.
I'd REALLY like to get rid of all this garbage on my phone that I'm never going to use, however I also would like to keep it as close to stock as possible. I really enjoy Sense for the most part (minus quirks that I'm willing to live with, and BlinkFeed). I know how/can find out how to load a custom rom - I had CM7 on my HTC EVO 4G (1st Gen) and loved it. But I really don't want to be without Sense.
Can anyone make any suggestions as to what I should do/which rom I should use?

Sorry, I'm overwhelmed at the wealth of knowledge here. Is there a link to the specific one you're talking about? Search didn't do me a ton of good. Though I suppose I could send the guy a message and inquire about his ROM.
Thank you for all your help guys!
Okay so I've decided that I want to try the OMJ ROM. Now here's where I am unsure of exactly how to do it. I see that certain ROMs require different methods. I can't just copy the ZIP to my internal storage and use TWRP to flash it, right? It has to be more complicated than that...
Also, I just went past the return window for the phone so I really cannot afford to brick it. I assume that there's next to no chance of the aforementioned tragedy befalling me providing I stick with the mainstream ROMs?
Most roms are in a flashable format i use the CM 10.2 nightly myself. from what i can tell as long as you can get into the bootloader your safe. I wiped my whole phone SD card and everything accidentally with TWRP one time. Ended up having to use sideload to get a CM rom installed again but i was never in danger of bricking. When flashing roms always remember to do a factory reset to wipe the cache and do an advanced wipe of the data and system. after the rom is installed it will ask you to wipe the cache again which is always nice to do.

No worries, I am new to the unlocking scene too with this device . Those flashable zips will normally have the boot.img files included and when installing twrp will take care of it via the script inside the zip. if you open the zip file with winzip or something you should see that file on the root. TWRP or ClockworkMod recoveries make it really easy to install and backup roms.
flashing the boot.img i guess is for recovery purposes say if the system is in a boot loop. Or maybe if you upgrade the system only and didnt change boot img between two different roms. I personally never had to do this. After unlocking the device i used fastboot to replace the recovery and just do everything else inside the recovery.

Alright, so I've got OMJ's rom running no problem. Love the new feel but what I'm wondering is...is there still a way to delete apps like Stocks and other crap I won't use? I can disable some but not all, and none am I able to uninstall completely.
Would it be something as simple as going into the OMJ ZIP file and removing the unwanted apk files and then re-flashing to that version?

I suppose that could be one way of doing it, but i dont think its necessary. if you are already rooted or can install root easy i would just install a Root file explorer. Browse to the /system/app folder i think it is and delete the APKs from there.

Yeah I tried that with ES explorer AND Root File Manager. ES would have an error, and Root File Manager would simply say it was deleted but it was never actually deleted. I think it has something to do with the security. I'm not really sure, haha! I'm used to being able to just openly delete apps from within Settings>Apps like the old days of my EVO 1st gen.
hmm interesting as long as the /system is mounted as r/w permissions you should be able to delete. well if you are planning on reflashing using the modify zip method im curious to know if that works.

use Root explorer, and set it at r/w
also Titanium Backup will delete it for you too.
If I remember correctly there are a few apps in the play store that are specifically for getting rid of "bloatware".....maybe search bloatware removal, our uninstall bloatware something like that. Hopefully this helps!

Well for whatever reason neither of those two suggestions worked. So I installed Root Browser and was finally able to get rid of some things.
Scratch that. Rebooted phone and the apps are back.

in the supersu app you have the option to completely unroot. it should work..
yes, to access this folder you need a root explorer and a rooted device. then you can copy/move the backups with the root explorer on the device to the sdcard. after this you can find the backups on the PC.
cheers :highfive:
ok update, got home and installed supersu app, and it said to update su binary and I tried that but it didn't allow me to. Then I read I should install supersu.zip from recover, and I did, now I cant run supersu at all there's no binary installed. Also tried es file explorer, and root broswer, and went to mnt/shell and then its blank, there's no clockworkmod/backup. I dont think I have root access, and I tried to turn it on in settings but it wont allow me to. I think my phones rooted but I dont have root access of the rom, is that correct in saying, thanks

Nope never did find it. I'm still looking. I need OTA update as well! I'm getting bad call reception!
I've heard using stock AT&T recovery.img works, since recovery images aren't really specific to the different carriers. Maybe try that out? Has anyone else ever tried that that can have some input?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358928
This thread has some more information about it.
before anyone says anything about using a search function let me say that i have searched every page on this site/google/youtube/ etc for an answer or fix
but anyway, so i screwed up and installed an old firmware update (mistakingly thinking it was new) and ran into a ton of issues, that after an extremely long night, i was able to fix.
i managed to load up the stock rom 4.4.2 that i had when i initially unlocked my device, and was hoping to copy over my twrp back up that i made earlier that day. when i make a twrp back up, i usually copy it to my pc to save phone space, and i tried to copy it back, and i put it in the backup folder, and although i can find it in file manager, i cant recover it. looking at the folder it looks like every other backup ive ever made, i have no idea why it wont show. i got a flasher app "Rashr" and it doesnt recognize it as a recovery folder either. does something need to be different? when i tried the twrp app, it selected all the typical boot img etc things but then says that it has to restart and when it does the twrp recovery still doesnt recognize it.
help ideas?
im still actively working it and if anyone finds anything that'll be wonderful thanks
I was helping you yesterday no?
I think what happened when you flashed a 4.1.2 you changed the file structure.
4.2.x and above handle things differently.
If you look in data/media/0/twrp you should find your backup.
I would still suggest running the latest RUU and starting fresh and it will give you the correct file structure.

yeah, your probably right, just thought I'd throw it out there.
i managed to use the files i used to root my phone to restore my phone back to a usable state. im not exactly sure if its RUU but my phone is basically back to where it was almost 5 months ago, luckily i had did an htc backup about 3 weeks ago, so i didnt quite lose every thing. its back to 4.4.2. im not exactly sure if my issue is making sense.
i have a back up i made on twrp, i cut and paste it to my desktop. when i put it in my twrp backup folder, its treated as if its not there. i can physically search for it and find it within the folder. is there a certain way that backups are made? i just made a backup of my device today, and it created a seperate FAxxxxxxxxx folder, im gonna try and put it in there to see if it helps any, but at this point im thinking i should give up and admit a lost cause.
my devce works, and thanks BD for all the help you gave!! seriously wouldve gone crazy without it.lol

i have a back up i made on twrp, i cut and paste it to my desktop. when i put it in my twrp backup folder, its treated as if its not there. i can physically search for it and find it within the folder. is there a certain way that backups are made? i just made a backup of my device today, and it created a seperate FAxxxxxxxxx folder, im gonna try and put it in there to see if it helps any, but at this point im thinking i should give up and admit a lost cause.
my devce works, and thanks BD for all the help you gave!! seriously wouldve gone crazy without it.lol

You must have ran the RUU file. Once you run the RUU file and you have to unlock everything using the HTC DEV method then yes, you will loose everything because the RUU file will bring your phone as it was coming out of the store.
