[Q] HTC ONE back to Stock (Locking bootloader and removing root) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i need to sell my phone because of several cash flow reasons. :crying: The person who is buying off me doesnt want the phone to be rooted. I tried looking for a back to stock thread but found nothing so far, or i am not looking hard enough.
So i just need the root to be gone and the bootloader to be locked as it was. How do i do that? Your help is greatly appreciated. I got a day to settle all this

Go to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582 site and get S-Off and then you will be able to downgrade to 4.1.2. Up date it and then go S-On and lock the boottloader. All is written in the OP of the mentioned site.

can we get this on a mac? All i see is on windows
On top of that, some of the RUU's are in exe and some are in zip. I downloaded an .exe one. Can i use that to flash in recovery?

I know that if you can get a Windows Vitual machine running on Mac you can do it.
Then when the RUU is running you can search for the ROM
Check it out. I know if you use the HTC one AIIO toolkit you can flash the extracted data to your device. Even the recovery.img from a stock RUU.
Let me know how you get on

Lock the bootloader with revone and flash a RUU (European or WWE), like this one http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...13323127-1031113105-release-310878-signedexe/, then run revone and remove tampered message (if you have that) in bootloder but i would keep S-Off if i we`re you forever.

Unfortunately it comes up with this, and then fails at updating a while later. Turns out my hboot is 1.54 so I can't use revone right?

I remember there is a method of tricking the ruu in to thinking the device is older.if I'm not mistaken it's the changing of the cid
But someone would need to verify that one

You probably need S-Off for that right? I'm on the 1.54 hboot and the s-off method only works on 1.44 I think.
The thing is, I just noticed factory reset did not remove root.. So i'll try to unroot it first and then run the update agaib.
(also could you reply to my post directly next time? else I don't get the notification that you've answered)

Extract all the files from the downgrade toolkit to your PC and run runme.cmd, following the instructions on screen.
Then run the RUU Downgrade (takes a while, around 10 mins so be patient).
When its finished running, you can verify if you have 1.13.0000 hboot by entering hboot (power on phone + vol down).
Then you can run revolutionary to get your s-off!

It is an attempt by HTC open up the phone for customization by developers. It unlocks the bootloader so that you can flash a custom recovery, a custom ROM and a custom boot image, but it falls short of being full S-OFF (security off).
If you have installed the latest OTA update which updates the phone to Android 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 then the HBOOT version is 2.00.0000 which cannot be S-OFF or downgraded, so unlocking at HTCDEV is your only choice at this point in time to root your phone.

[Q] How to downgrade HTC One Developer Edition (US) from firmware 1.29.1540.17 to 1.2

Hello,
I have been researching here to find a way to downgrade to a previous version of a firmware so that I can S-Off, and to no avail unsure how to do it myself using either use Moonshine or revone.
The reason I wish to do this is that I want to install Google Play edition and of course the necessary info to install it.

If I'm not mistaken the ROM firmware is irrelevant as to if you can root or not, or get-S-OFF. The most important factor for S-OFF is the bootloader version. I haven't seen any threads about getting S-OFF on bootloader 1.54.
Reboot to your bootloader (turn device off, hold volume down and turn device on). Check your HBOOT version there. If it says 1.54, then the only possible solution is to search for an official HTC RUU with a lower HBOOT version. However I do not know if this will actually work.

Don't really know what you mean by reflash? Returning to the newer HBOOT (1.54)?
If that's the case, once you're S-OFF you can update the HBOOT to 1.54 and S-OFF will still be there. There are some threads in the development section about upgrading the HBOOT. I used these myself without issues.
As for the official RUU, this will probably be a Google search. I haven't seen a thread around with these files.
Keep in mind that flashing an original RUU will result in loss of root and custom recovery. You will need to re-root after flashing the RUU and reflash a custom recovery.

I think so yes, but I'm not 100% sure. You may find the answer, or ask the question in the hboot update threads or s-off threads. I haven't flashed a RUU myself in years.

I was s-off with stock unrooted locked 2.24.401.1 firmware (ruu'ed by repair center)and tried to use revone to unlock again but it would fail, then I downgraded to hboot 1.44 (I could still do this because I was s-off already) but revone would still fail, then I decided to properly downgrade to 1.28(or was that 29).401.?? with an ruu and was able to use revone again to unlock my bootloader, so hboot is not the only factor for revone to be succesful...
downgrading hboot and other system partitions, except kernel rom radio and recovery, is not possible if you are not s-off already....

S-OFF is not needed for root or custom recovery. You do need an unlocked bootloader though. On other devices S-OFF was needed to flash radio's or kernels through recovery, but from what I have read the One can flash kernels in recovery without S-OFF

So I have gotten TWRP on there, however I have been unable to flash a previous firmware, to downgrade, getting the error message, Unable to open zip. My guess is that S-On is stopping this process even in a custom recovery. Is there a recommendation as to how I can achieve S-Off?
Also There is something I have been thinking about it, and if I were to follow the steps here, with execption of the flashing the RUU through fasboot, could I flash the RUU through TWRP instead?
[Edit] Could I install a custom ROM, S-Off through the ROM, then follow the steps in the link to flash the RUU?

Flashing an OTA?

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.

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.

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.

[Q] 4.3 Sprint RUU

Hi, I was wondering if there was going to be an RUU for 4.03.651.2 firmware. I tried to take the update with an outdated version of TWRP, and I would like to go back to stock and reroot. I have tried and failed to gain S-Off with Revone and moonshine. I am unsure of what to do. My phone is not recognized by ADB in recovery, so I cannot use the S-Off workaround to flash an old RUU. Any suggestions/responses are appreciated.
Thanks,

This can be very frustrating, I know.
I used Moonshine to achieve S-OFF, yesterday. Reason was because I managed to delete almost everything, I still don't know exactly what happened. However, if I remember correctly, you need S-On in order to run a stock RUU. There are several threads that pretty much will walk you thru the steps needed to flash the RUU. I was on them yesterday.
Good luck.

You don't need S-Off or S-On to run the RUU, but the bootloader has to be locked (or relocked). Believe that I read that HTC was going to not release RUUs any more because they didn't want others to tear them apart, etc. But don't quote me on that one...
From my understanding, S-Off is required to flash an RUU for a firmware version that does not match the version you are currently on. Could you please refer me to one of these threads? I would appreciate it very much.

I've also heard the same however how can I gain S-Off without mounting the internal storage? Or ADB? I can't get either to work.

I believe that if you have a custom recovery installed, you can use the workaround by accessing the terminal from the recovery, type the command, and then lock the bootloader. I am not completely sure on that, though.
If your on 4.3 there is no RUU and no s-off exploit at this time. This is why it's always recommended to root/s-off before you update.

Here's one of the links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800
Check in the Sprint HTC One Forums, the first two sub-forums both have info you're looking for.

Thanks. I will look into this as soon as time permits.

Looking to reset bootloader to complete stock

I have already re-locked and flashed the 3.0.5 RUU and everything is completely stock except the bootloader reading S-Off and Relocked.
I'm looking to reset the bootloader to read S-On and Locked just as it would be right out of the box.

Hmmm. I don't suggest getting s-on, it's pretty risky. You better flash this hexedited hboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314921
It basically masks the s-off as s-on. No one will ever notice it, it's basically risk-free and you remain s-off

This needs to be done while I still have root access right? Because I have already relocked and ran the latest 3.0.5 RUU.
I'd rather not unlock and root again if I don't have too.

No need for root it's flashed from RUU mode
I would advise using RootLinix hboot instead it will read hboot 1.55
