HTC One stock recovery

Hi guys,
I have been searching everywhere for a link to download the HTC one stock recovery, but I just seem to not be able to find it. Could anyone please give me the link to a stock recovery, and a guide as to how I would install it.
Thanks

1. Flash Stock Recovery
2. RElock BootLoader
3. Flash RUU ( If You Have Custom Rom )
4. Upgrade To 4.2.2

I just tried doing this, but I am getting an error when I try to flash the stock recovery. It just says "(status 6) Installation aborted." I'm using CWM Recovery, should I maybe try using TWRP instead or should that not matter?

Maybe check if others have flashed it correctly, as I didn't test it and maybe you can't flash a stock recovery in a custom one

Confirmation
Hi,
I've just installed this recovery to my HTC ONE 32GB VODAP001.
My method was to extract the recovery.img from the zip file and flash via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
worked fine - no issues, boots to the phone picture with a green arrow.
Hope that helps.

EDIT: My previous recovery was TWRP 2.6.0.1

Sorry to bring this thread back...
For anyone still trying to update to 4.2.2 on a rooted phone here are the steps I took to do it.
1.Flash stock recovery (link earlier in thread)
2.Update
3.Reflash your custom recovery (I used TWRP)
4.Reinstall superuser
That should be it

Flashed stock recovery
Thanks! Now hopefully I can get the latest HTC Google Edition OTA update. Clockworkmod rejected the latest one: JWR66Y

Noob question: What does the stock recovery actually do?
I havn't unlocked bootloader yet, and accidentially started stock recovery from the bootloader screen and started to panic when an image with a red triangle was shown for what seemed like ages. Fortunately the phone booted up normally, but I wonder what I actually did?
BTW how does OTA update work, how to get it?

All I know is I flashed the Google Edition ROM on my HTC One in July (was T-Mobile Sense version). 2 days ago I got an OTA notification for an Android 4.3 update (JWR66Y). I couldn't install it because I had Clockworkmod as a custom recovery. My hope is that with this stock recovery I can receive this OTA update fine. I haven't gotten the notification yet, so I don't know if it'll work. If it does work, then I'll be ready for Google Edition Kit Kat in October.

This method works:
Go to Settings > Apps (or Applications) and select show All. Then find Google Services Framework and click the Clear Data button. Then click the Force Stop button. Then go to Settings > About phone > System updates
The stock recovery also worked! I was able to get an OTA update and install it on HTC One which I turned into a Google Edition (originally a T-Mobile with Sense). Now with JWR66Y.H1. Just let the phone do its thing. It takes a while and there are no real status messages. It'll reboot a few times. Don't worry it works. Just be patient.
I think the same method will work when Kit Kat comes out in October.
I am not rooted, I have S-off, and I didn't change model or carrier IDs. I still received the OTA update.

S-ON bootloop, RUU won't work

I have a friend who tried flashing a rom on this HTC One with S-ON. The phone is now relocked and "tampered" but I have been trying to return it to stock so it will actually boot. It just hangs on the HTC screen for now. The version is 1.26.502.12 Hboot 1.44 but the RUU for ATT doesn't work at all; gives me the error 132 "signature error". I know this is the correct RUU, as when it says it will update to xxx version, it's the same exact version as what's on there (1.26.502.12).
Have been searching long and far for an answer, and have tried locating a ruu in the form of a .zip file, but have returned with no such luck.

Its not the correct ruu for the phones cid, which will be CWS__001 or something similar. What's wrong with the phone that you need to ruu? You can either;
Find the correct RUU.
S-off the phone, change the cid, and flash any ruu of your choosing.
Re-unlock, re-flash custom recovery, and re-flash the rom.

It won't boot because it's relocked with a custom recovery. Unlock again, flash the stock recovery from the RUU, and relock, and you'll be stock.

I have it unlocked and it had TWRP. I pulled the .zip from the RUU from the /local/temp/f3823848f (you get it), and tried running the fastboot commands:
fasboot erase cache
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
This works up until the flashing of the zip, which results in "ERROR: could not clear input pipe; result -536870163< waiting for device >".
How would I go about getting the stock recovery from the RUU?
edit: I originally had it unlocked but relocked it so I could run the .exe for the RUU.

Well the phone tried to install a custom rom (trick droid) without S-OFF, so now it completely won't boot past the HTC screen. I have problems with mounting the cache, but finally worked that kink out. I can't s-off the phone without it booting can I?

You do not need s-off to flash a rom on the one. He probably flashed a bad zip. Reflash TWRP, wipe everything. Adb push the ROM.zip and flash it.

I was reading where you could, as it's the stock .zip for your phone (assuming you had the correct one). My problem still is lingering. I have stock recovery installed and it's relocked, still can't manage to get the RUU to correctly read my model.
I posted some pictures, 1 containing the information about the device while the other is the window showing how it matches up.

Xartic, you should first read tutorials on how to flash something. Here on the forum are some. You can also sideload a custom Rom from the forum. Like Viper one

If you can't mount cache partition then the recovery will not work correctly.
I get the same problem few days ago when erasing all partitions.
Try to format cache partition from recovery. I've done it many times until it accept it.
It seems I format it in the wrong format.
If you have "cache mount error" when in recovery, then I don't think flashing a ROM will work (and when it works, the ROM will not boot anyway).
Get rid of this problem first.

Actually I did read and know how to flash roms, but the problem isn't that I didn't read, that my friend jumped the gun on flashing without knowing HTC and their s-on situation . The problem is that security still remains on and the phone won't accept the RUU to return it to stock.. I understand the phone is unlocked now but when I attempt the RUU I relock it with no positive results. I resorted to the stock recovery to see if that would help with the RUU, but it doesn't.

I've noticed cwm has to be used to erase and mount cache. I still can't get anywhere though even being able to boot into any recovery.

Any other ideas on how to fix this problem?

Have you tried;
Unlock
Reflash TWRP or CWM
Redownload custom rom
Wipe everything
"adb push rom.zip /sdcard/"

i messed my partitions with touch cwm. I solved the problem from twrp.
but really I don't know how, I played with Parted until I realize i can't find the name of the cache partition. I tried few time until it accept to format the cache. Then that was ok.
I create my problem by erasing all the partitions one by one from cwm (touch version)

I did all of that, and when it reboots it shows the HTC quietly brilliant screen with "This build is for development purposes only..." and will just hang there. I wiped everything before I pushed the Android Revolution Rom.

No errors whatsoever, I let it sit on the screen for about 5 minutes then waited on the HTC screen for about 15-20.
I just now flashed a stock odexed rom and it's doing the same thing, except it doesn't show "This build is for...." at the bottom. I sideloaded it and had no errors.
Also, after I sideload these roms, I have to reflash the recovery each time.

[Q] 3 ROMs & It's all rejected <solved>

I've asked before that I can't flash a ROM cyn 10.2 to my htc one with CWM recovery v6.0.3.1...
And they said I have to try another ROM and flash it from flash drive...
I did it for 2 other ROMs, but it still can't...
I use the ROM from this website wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/M7ul_Info (i still can't post hyperlink)
I've used the 2 kind of stable and 1 of the RC one, but they all said :
" Finding update package . . .
Opening update package . . .
Installing update . . .
set_perm : some changes failed
E : error in /external_sd/cm-10.2.0-RC1-m7ul.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted. "
Does anyone have an idea about this problem??

If you hold down volume down and power together and keep them held down, the screen will eventually turn off. Let go of the buttons and then hold them again a second or two later till it turns on and you will be in bootloader mode.

It's done.
Thank you for all the guidance!
Now i can enjoy the new ROM.

2.6.3.4 is out if you wanna give it a shot. did you select wipe in Aroma?

I thought that I had used the latest twrp through GooManager. I wiped Dalvik and Cache. Where would I find Aroma? I rhought that the Rom I flashed would work on my Rogers device.

Where did I go wrong?

Okay, so I have an HK m8 on sprint, FW 1.54.654.13.
I was originally on Viper 1.8.0, but wanted to upgrade to 2.0.0, so I went back to my stock backup, with the aforementioned software version.
After restoring that backup I realized I needed to also flash a stock recovery in order to take the OTA. So I flashed the 'Stock Recovery From 1.54.651.8 OTA' over adb from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736048
So, since flashing that recovery my phone seems to not have a recovery anymore; infact, it constantly reboots after about 1 minute of being booted to system. When I boot into recovery, I get a symbol of a phone with an "!" in a triangle over it.
Where did I go wrong? What recovery should I be using? I can re-flash TWRP, but it seems I still get the bootloop, even though it does actually boot into system (which I've never seen happen from a bootloop). It's been like this for 12+ hours, and no amount of searching has helped me out thus far, so I'm hoping someone here could help me out a little.

This is stock recovery
You could pull the stock recovery from the HK firmware...hopefully that will get you back to normal.
Worse comes to worse run the RUU.

I do not have the recovery.img in my backup. I'm also not S-off, so I think the only way I can upgrade my firmware is through OTA from what I understand, correct? If I could just flash the proper stock recovery I think I would be fine from there?

Yes, I am aware. But on 1.8.0 I did not get an OTA. Maybe because I'll get it after I upgrade my FW. So after RUUing then reinstalling TWRP, if I restore my viper 1.8.0 backup, I can just OTA to 2.0.0?

I tried flashing the full Rom per your suggestion, but after flashing the 2.0.0 Rom, it's like my phone has no OS and can only boot to bootloader or recovery, not system at all.
I also tried extracting the latest hk ruu to the root of my external SD card and running it through bootloader to no avail.
I feel like I'm missing a vital part of information here. I've never really ruu'd before so I'm new to that but I'm pretty stumped on this whole thing.

get the drivers for your phone + adb, rename the firmware update to firmware.zip, put it in /sdk/platform-tools
put the phone in fastboot, make sure it says fastboot USB and type fastboot devices in terminal to confirm it's connected.
then type in terminal Fastboot oem rebootRUU (capitalization matters.)
your screen will go black with a greyish HTC logo, then type in fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
once it's done doing it's thing type fastboot reboot
this method is pretty much failproof
EDIT: also, if you're flashing ONLY the sprint 2.0.0 update, you'll have to be on capt's twrp 2.7.0.7, otherwise you'll have to flash the full rom, boot into it, reboot into 2.7.1.0, and dirty flash the sprint viper ROM. Hope that helps, cheers >;3

get the drivers for your phone + adb, rename the firmware update to firmware.zip, put it in /sdk/platform-tools
put the phone in fastboot, make sure it says fastboot USB and type fastboot devices in terminal to confirm it's connected.
then type in terminal Fastboot oem rebootRUU (capitalization matters.)
your screen will go black with a greyish HTC logo, then type in fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
once it's done doing it's thing type fastboot reboot
this method is pretty much failproof

Thanks for the reply! From my understanding, you need to be S-Off for that method, which I am not.
The method I attempted to use is this one, from O.M.J's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
using 7zip, extract 0P6BIMG.zip to ext sd card
-boot into bootloader
-make sure*hboot*is highlighted, press power button
-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update
-press volume up & let it do it's thing...
The problem is, it scans my external SD card just fine but never asks if I want to start the update, nor do I get the option to press volume up etc... I am on captains twrp 2.7.0.7, as I've seen many other users confirm success with this recovery.
Also, I don't see just an update, it seems the Sprint version of the Rom I downloaded is the full rom. I actually did get it to boot once and got this (see screenshot), but it was a dirty flash.

Did you re-lock your bootloader?

download the full one and the sprint one, flash the first, reboot all the way (doubt you have to finish the automatic setup) then reboot into recovery and dirty flash the sprint one without wiping anything. It'll connect to the CDMA network instead of the GSM one with no problems, you don't even need to be on 2.7.0.7
And if it isn't working in HBOOT just go into recovery and adb sideload it, you shouldn't need to be s-off to do that. Enter adb sideload and just type in a terminal adb sideload (filename)
EDIT: idk why but that picture made me lol irl, KEEP CALM AND KANG AWAY

Alright giving that a shot now, thanks
That message is hilarious to me now, but it wasn't at the time xD
Edit: is it safe to dirty flash the first one, coming from 1.8.0? Also no, I haven't relocked my boot loader.

RUU won't run unless you re-lock the bootloader since you are s-on

Ahhh, okay makes sense now. My m7 was s-off and that was the first and last time I ever did a RUU. If I re-lock the boot loader, do I have to go through htcdev again to unlock once more, or will having it locked again not effect root?

Do you have any working rom installed on your phone? If not then there is nothing to root hence the root permission problem. Did you erased the cache and rebooted the bootloader after flashing a recover (before attempting to boot it)? Where are you downloading your twrp version from? Have you tried mdmower's twrp?

If there is no functional rom on your phone now then there is nothing to root so you can stop bothering with that for now. Flash your recovery using fastboot and try mdmower's twrp, I've seen many cases where mdmower's version flashed fine but not the official version.
Sometimes deleting the .twrps file from /sdcard can also help fix a non booting recovery.
You could also try CWM recovery
