So I am about to root my htc one via instructions from QBking. My question is they say to backup your phone before rooting the HTC One. Is it the music and photos you have on the SD card because you can't make a backup until you flash a custom recovery, correct?

When you unlock with HTC Dev it does a factory reset. So anything saved to the data partition will be gone.
Plug your phone into your pc, copy and paste everything(pictures, music, videos).

I think the xda hero wiki has a link to a ruu.zip that you can flash from recovery or maybe bootloader. Its buried in the dev section but its linked in the wiki.

Neither of these methods are working, HERCIMG.ZIP just keep saying No Image! and the second method has no option to restore a nandroid backup that I can see, clockwork only shows backups that it performed itself and wont show the new folder I dropped in there.
Im running stock Hboot and stock radio, what the hell am I doing wrong?

Are you without a pc? If you have a pc and can connect,then go to the Htc website . Download the Htc sync pakage,install it the download the latest RUU and connect your phone and reinstall the RUU should take about 10 -15 mins. You will be un-rooted.
I think there's a Free App on the Market that Claims it Unroots!

I just bought my self a new 16gb sd card. I was wondering if there was a way to make cwm backup my nandroid to my external sd card as opposed to my internel one?
Thanks

Can I just install this over the current version of cwm Im using? Will it effect my current rom?
The new recovery from thecubed (5.5.0.4) let's you pick between internal and external(default). If you're using another recovery for some reason then just use a file explorer app to cut and paste from one location to the other.

I am using an older version of CWM. All I want to know is can I just install the new version over my old version without returning to stock or loosing current rom.

have you read the recovery thread?
does it specifically say you have to return to stock?
recovery has nothing to do with the rom, so no, you wont lose it

I did read it...it didnt say I needed to but the instructions were talking about installing it right after you unlocked the boot loader, so I was making sure I didnt have to go back and start the whole process again.
Thanks for making it clear!
hello i have searched all over the internet for a HTC One UK Three RUU, but couldnt find anything.
but i have found a nandroid backup on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874&nocache=1
however, i do not know how to use it
can somebody tell me step by step instructions on how to unroot using this backup please and thank you in advance
I just downloaded the nand backup to my pc, put onto my phone's sd at the root of it, then used Rom manager to flash it, after installing you will need to install the lost apps package found in the one android dev section, once done I did my own nand backup without root so I had my own backup

Hi, I am in the same boat here. No luck finding an RUU for three UK but have found the nandroid back up. If I use this back up will this unroot and get me back to how my phone was when purchased. As this is what I wish to achieve. Complete Noob. Switched from jailbreaking.

Doing a Nandroid backup should take away root as long as you don't install it through TWRP or CWM (they have an option when you go to reboot and it gets in the way)

Ok cool. Appreciate that. So how do I go about not installing through Cwm or twrp. Is that as described in the earlier posts? Also it mentions the lost apps package can you shed light on this for me too? All help appreciated greatly.
My brother (being the idiot he is) decided to take it upon himself to root my htc one (unlocked Australian model). Now I have a custom recovery installed and so can't install the recently available 4.2.2 update. Is there either a way to install this update, or a way to flash back the original recovery so that I can install it?
Both yes. You can download the original recovery.img and flash it via fastboot. but now that you can flash zips why not try a ROM from XDA devs. Most are very stock with some extra features.

What would you recommend that is similar to the 4.2.2 update (with the home key menu functionality)?

I'm quite interested in this one, but want to double check, with the installation is it really as simple as downloading the zip, then rebooting into recovery and installing the zip from there? No need for anything else like the cmd on pc or anything? Seems rather simple is all, just want to make sure I'm understanding it right. Will be the first time flashing a custom Rom is all.

Since you already have a custom recovery, then yes it is as easy as installing the zip. Its always safer to make a nandroid backup first however, so choose the backup option in your recovery, and save that file to your computer, then you can easily flash the custom ROM.

Well I have Rom manager installed which does the same thing I believe, so I'll be sure to make a backup beforehand.
Hi guys,
I am thinking of moving from the stock HTC software on my One to CyanogenMod, and i was wondering a few things:
1. How can i move all my stuff?
2. Will there be any issues installing as currently I am rooted?
3. How hard is it to install?
4. How hard is it to move back to Sense 5
Any help is appreciated!

1) With a full wipe before flashing the rom.
2) No... You must be rooted and unlocked (bootloader) for install it.
3) Easy, if you will read the instruction
4) The same of 3

Yeah, sorry, my fault.
Just copy the sd into your pc.
For contact and sms, do a backup from the app or backup with Google account

So hopefully its as simple as
1. Make titanium backup (without system apps, of course)
2. Flash CyanogenMod
3.Install titanium backup on CyanogenMod
4.Restore

Also with ROM manager you can back up you're current ROM and the later restore it of you do not like CyanogenMod

Also if you use twrp, probably cwm too, a full wipe does not wipe /data/media. Unless of course you format the sdcard.

Hey sam, i am complete newbie and let me tell you, even for me it was super easy. the installation was a breeze.
i had done a full wipe and my contacts were already backed up with Google. So they synced perfectly. i just lost messages. but titanium should do it for you.
go ahead. the CM is really really fast. i am loving phone now. have installed Nova on it and its complete lag-free.
As others said, full wipe Only wipe the system files no file on the SD will be touched. I also suggest do a back up in recovery just in case.
