Restoring HTC ONE to Stock (Vodafone UK)

I've currently got Android Revolution HD 12.1 installed, however I need to return the phone to Vodafone UK Stock, due to returning the phone.
I found this link, which seems to give instructions on restoring the HTC ONE, however apart from downloading the OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_Vodafone_UK.......zip file from here, I'm really not sure which method to follow.
This is the information I have from the Software Information on my phone:
Android version: 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.4.10-g445d072
Baseband version: 4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L
Build number: 2.24.401.1.CL211355
I would really appreciate some assistance

Here is a link to all RUU`s, zips and CWM/TWRP recovery rom`s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874. You`ll need S-Off however to downgrade the Hboot. If you`re not S-Off you cannot Flasha RUU with a older Hboot. Guess you`re on HBoot 1.54.000 now. Till the revone devs find a way to modify the S-Off exploit you`re stuck, link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582.

Thanks for responding
I've already downloaded the OTA's: Vodafone UK file from that link, however I'm really not sure what I should be doing with it
Edit
Just curious, if my phone is S-ON, how have I been able to install a custom ROM and recovery?

If the bootloader is unlocked but you`re S-On you can flash a custom recovery and roms, you however cannot downgrade or flash a newer Hboot afaik. You can`t do anything with the OTA atm, not even flash a Vodafone CWM recovery i`am afraid.

With regards to the Vodafone zip file, is it possible to flash that somehow and give the impression that's in factory state?

No mate, you don`t have a Vodafone rom, you have a custom recovery and you would need to lock the bootloader. It is not possible atm, stick with the rom you`re on for now and do not lock bootloader. Wait for revone to modify the bootloader xploit to get S-Off.

I've just gone into Bootloader and it's showing Hboot as 1.44.0000 !!
Would you mind giving me a brief outline on what I should be doing to get my phone back to vodafone stock?y
Many Thanks

Would flashing the Vodafone OTA zip file in recovery be safe or do I need to S-Off the device?

Please can someone advise
Thanks

Wow, you have quite the adventure in front of you my friend if you want to return your phone to a pure stock state. I'll outline the steps and you can do some work and find the guides to complete them. Assuming you're on hboot 1.44 you'll need to go ahead and s-off, you can then remove the tampered flag. After you're s-off you're then going to need to double check you're using a stock unmodified hboot (you should be) and flash the pertinent RUU based on your phone - there are plenty of guides on how to select this. You'll then need to s-on again, google the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" to find some information on how to do that.
Basically you've got your work cut out mate, sorry I can't be more help but the process I've mentioned aren't as simple or as safe as unlocking the bootloader. You'll need to put some effort and most importantly care as any one of them can brick your phone. Once you're s-off you've opened up very sensitive partitions which if changed or written to wrongly can instantly brick your phone. As such I'd do a lot of research before you undertake any of these steps, this is just off the top of my head to give you some guidance so I'd also check them, you really can't be too careful when playing around with £500 worth of tech. Good luck!

I'm now S-Off, however what I can't get my head around is the RUU part. The Vodafone ROM that I require seems to be an OTA zip update, however I'm unsure on how to flash this as it doesn't seem to be RUU

You cannot do it with an OTA zip... you need a full RUU but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one available for Vodafone UK.
This one seems to be the closest one for you.... it's stock HTC Europe. I don't think at this time that returning to stock Vodafone is a possibility.
If you're sending it back for repair or replacement you could take a chance on sending it as it is.

Thank you for replying.
I've run that RUU from the link you provided and it stated that it's updating from 1.29.161.11 to 1.28.401.7, however an Error [131] message appeared stating 'Customer ID Error'.
Any ideas?

Ok... you need to change that ID in the phone.
Reboot the phone to bootloader then fastboot and connect to pc then from your ADB directory on PC issue the command "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001" this will then give you the right ID for the RUU.
Note it's HTC__001.... 2 underscores !

Is it possible to go back to Stock - Completely - To sell the phone?

I have a Mint Condition HTC One phone I am trying to sell - Mostly just because I also own a Nexus 4 and love it - and decided I'd rather keep it and use the money on the HTC One on something else.
I'm having a hard time selling it because the "everything is unlocked" is making people scared to buy it.
It's S-OFF, SuperCID, TWRP 2.6.0.1, Bootloader Unlocked, Running 2.24 Firmware and Android Revolution 12.1, Sim Unlocked too.
It's originally a Rogers Canada HTC One
Is there any way (or guide) to completely make it stock again to help sell it? Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, just flash the Rogers RUU (if available) and then you're good to go! If there isn't one then use one of the Nandroids provided and then get the stock recovery and relock the bootloader

don't forget to go back to S-ON after flashing the RUU

Hmm... never flashed a RUU before. Will need to do some reading.
Anyone know where to find a Rogers RUU?
I don't care if its Rogers specifically - it can be Telus or Bell too as long as it works.
I just want to go back to Stock so it's capable of updating OTA somehow if possible.

just download the RUU (sorry, don't know if there is one for your carrier), be sure to be s-off, and then run the RUU.exe or flash the RUU.zip.
the RUU will flash stock recovery, stock rom and i think it will even relock your bootloader. and then you'll be able to download OTA-updates again.
last step is to put it back to s-on and you should be done..

Ruu for bell. Rogers, telus is not available yet, your best bet is to flash the stock wwe Ruu. Remember to flash the stock hboot if you are using a modified hboot for the red lines or you would brick your device

I'm S-OFF using the Revone Method
I'm on firmware 2.24 and HBoot 1.54 (Still S-Off though)
If anyone has time, can somebody give me a real quick overview on what I need to do? I'll buy ya a beer!
I'm not real familiar with HTC Devices - This was my first experience and to be honest, Right now I'm wishing I didn't do this if I knew before hand I was going to flip it so fast.

Ok no problem
First download the RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
and run the .exe.
then you'll have stock hboot and stock recovery + stock rom.
After this you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to get back to s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Be sure you never installed a custom hboot before and you are using a official hboot. Better check twice if the red warning text is there before you go s-on
And that's it
No beer needed, "thanks-button" is enough
Cheers

You cant run the RUU with Super CID. You will have to change it to one that matches the RUU you choose before running it, but keep s-off. Then you should be able to use the tool as mentioned above or do all the things manually. You can use my guide if you like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497

Thanks for the help.
Which specific RUU should I flash? I don't see a Generic WWE One in that thread - just a couple of WWE ones for Developer Editions. Should I use an AT&T one? I can change the CID back to whatever is needed.
Am I able to do this somehow with the Nandroid backup for Rogers in that thread?
Also - What do you mean by "check for the red lines" exactly? I am on HBoot 1.54, Is there a easy way of going back to 1.44?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm kinda annoyed there isn't a Rogers RUU available. Last thing I need is a bricked phone - I'm only selling it as I honestly I shouldn't have bought it to begin with (Financially)

Where are you going to try and sell it? If to another user in Canada with one of those carriers, then they wouldn't to buy the unit with a AT&T image on it, I would think.
However running the ATT one would be a very easy way to reset everything including the hboot (no worry about red lines if run the RUU). Then you could sell to a US buyer who is going to use ATT (Tmobile also has a RUU). My guide for reseting to ATT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497
There are some threads around here where users are resetting Rodgers back to stock but it is much harder without a RUU and I am not sure of your comfort level.
To use one of the Rodgers Nandroids to do a complete reset to stock I would:
Change the CID to CWS__001 and run the ATT RUU to reset all your firmware, hboot etc, back to stock. You will still have unlocked bootloader and s-off, so you can then change back to your stock CID and then use the fastboot command to boot (but not install) a custom recovery in order to restore the Rodgers Nandroid and then just relock and s-on. Should be 100% Rodgers stock.
Code:
fastboot boot yourcustomrecovery.img
You can only use this method to boot a recovery without installing it, if on hboot 1.44, so that is why I recommend using the RUU to downgrade all that stuff for you.
Let me know if you need more help. I'd be happy to guide you.

you could take the latest open europe RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7), or take an AT&T one.. don't really know which one would be better for your situation you'll know it better

this is also an option. you can flash this nandroid backup through cwm recovery. but then you'd have to manually install stock recovery and lock the bootloader/go back to s-on. why not :good:

you can stay on 1.54 if everything works fine after flashing the older firmware. the "warning text" is related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
but if you've never installed a custom HBoot you don't have to worry about this when going back to s-on. just check once if the red warning text in the bootscreen is there.

Hey, I'm trying to do the same thing as OP, and this thread has been the closest thing to my issue. I'm trying to return everything on my phone to stock, however my Canadian carrier is Bell. Currently my HTC One has the bootloader unlocked, is rooted, TWRP recovery, and TrickDroid installed.
If I understand your instructions correctly, what I should do (given I want to restore using a nandroid backup) is:
1) S-Off my phone
2) Change the CID to CWS___001 and run the ATT RUU
3) Change the CID back to my original (BM_001 is what I think it is, do you know how I can make sure? What command to run for ADB?)
4) The Nandroid backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874&highlight=bell+update for my phone is for CWM (it's this one: M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID BM___001 / 1.29.666.5), does that mean I have to change my recovery from TWRP to CWM at this point?
5) Use fastboot to boot the recovery --> two questions regarding this, 1) why would I not install the .zip I downloaded from step 4? 2) where do I get the recovery.img? Just the one that is in the zip? In which case, shouldn't I also has to boot the boot.img or anything else?
6) I also want to upgrade the radio, should that be done last?
Thanks for all your help!
Lastly, I'm looking for a ROM to flash afterwards, I was wondering if you had any suggestions/know of a ROM that can allow me to use the swipe2sleep features, as well as hold the back touch button to force kill an app.

Just sell it on swappa. They love rooted unlocked modded phones.

The basics about Unlocked/Rooted HTC one?

Hi,
First of all, accept my apologies in advance if i sound a complete NOOB, cuz really I am. Im just looking for some help regarding the know-how of the phone I just bought.
We dont get locked phones in my country ( and by locked I mean like as u say these At&T and verizone or Sprint etc locked). I bought a silver HTC One and have been using it all fine and easy until I saw this blue HTC one( a used one) SO I exchanged my phone and now I have this blue HTC one...
The info from the software information is:
Android Version - 4.2.2
Sense - 5.0
Software number - 2.24.401.8
HTC SDK API level - 5.34
Kernel version - 3.4.1 - g28df0d6 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Build number - 2.24.401.8 CL235216 release-keys
(guess thats all there is to tell)
But apparently it is not working as it should. And by that I mean I tried hard resetting it and a weird screen came on...
it goes like this ....
TAMPERED ... and so on... and then there were other options like to Fastboot, factory reset etc that I could select from the volume keys..
So i got afraid that things are a little bit more technical than I can handle so i dint reset it.
- Now, the thing is I want to know that if my phone is unlocked than what carrier it originally was - whether resetting will lock me to that carrier or not?
- Apparently my phone was rooted ( dont know for sure, although I downloaded the root checker from play store and it says that I have root access ) SO why was it rooted in the first place. CAN it be that by rooting, my phone was unlocked from the carrier?
- IF i want to return to stock, how can I do that?
- Will returning to stock render my phone useless?
- Im upgrading to And 4.3.. but is it safe to do that with the state of my phone...?
By now, Im sounding like a complete BUM even to myself... so... but I really need help...

Unlocked network is not the same as unlocked bootlooter. Rooting will do nothing with the network lock (although there are some apps that can network unlock using root).
As for the screen you saw, that's the recovery screen which is acces via power + vol up, that's normal and is where you can reset your phone. "TAMPERED" means that the bootloader was unlocked before (to allow ROM flashing) but has been relocked to try make it stock again. I guess that means you bought it second hand?
Follow this guide if you wish to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738. Make sure to take note of your CID, which you can see at the top of the recovery screen or using CID getter, and getting the RUU that matches it.
Once you followed that guide you should have a completely stock device that's got a locked bootloader, S-On and without the TAMPERED flag (so HTC does not know it's been rooted) with the stock firmware. Then just boot into the phone, set it up, and check for updates in the settings and it will upgrade to the latest version for your CID (either 4.3 or 4.4).

Ok, according to the CID getter, my CID is HTC_001, so now,
I go find the RUU for the HTC_001 and then do all that what was said above. I wanted to ask one thing before doing anything.. I bought this phone second hand.. Yes.. how can i tell that whether its and international version or an unlocked version for some network. It has no tell-tale logos of any network on it. Is there any sure shot way of telling which one is it?
Here is the info from the TAMPERED screen.. just thought about posting it so that if could further help in anyway..
***TAMPERED***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.54.0000
RADIO 0-4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617
OS-2.24.401.8
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Aug 9 2013, 16:15:36.0

CID tells you if it's been locked down to a carrier. HTC__001 (two _) is the unlocked UK version. So it's never been locked to a network, and I guess the previous owner just wanted to play around with cutsom ROMs.

I have managed to S-off my phone and downloaded the files required.. Im not sure about one thing.. is the kernel on my phone a stock one or what?
I have this Kernel version - 3.4.1 - g28df0d6 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
which one is it?

hey.. can someone point me out to the right RUU for my phone..?
Im tryin to match all these things but somehow one or the other stays diff..

You need the 1.28.401.7 ruu.exe from here http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
but you will need to downgrade hboot to 1.44 before.

Now.. DO I REALLY NEED TO REVERT BACK TO STOCK?
I mean, i just found mod (maximus HD) inside my phone and flashed that using cwm.
I have no problems so far and I do not have to send the phone back for warranty or anything, so do i really need to get back to stock? Cuz i think for that my expertise are lacking atm. I just wanted to update to the latest android... but figure i can do that using the same method i did for the maximus rom... no?
Any thoughts?

its up to you, if you don't have to send the device for repair then its not needed to revert back to stock and you can use your phone with the custom rom if you like it.

Hey, a quick question...
Will wiping the phone before flashing a custom ROM wipe my recovery image too? Im using TWRP. And just before hitting wipe, i thought what if this wipes my twrp as well.. So, I stopped and rushed here... anyone?
Here is what i was gonna do.. I moved the ROM zip into the internal storage of my phone --- > went into the recovery (TWRP) using GOO app ---> was gonna do the wipe (here is where I stopped) ---- %% after the wipe, i was going to "Find in Recovery "Choose zip from sdcard" choose appropriate zip file" and then follow the Aroma installers instructions ----%% reboot.
@alray
Thanks man..
As long as I have access to this forum, I feel brave enough to continue messing around with my phone.

I moved the ROM zip into the internal storage of my phone --- > went into the recovery (TWRP) using GOO app ---> was gonna do the wipe (here is where I stopped) ---- %% after the wipe, i was going to "Find in Recovery "Choose zip from sdcard" choose appropriate zip file" and then follow the Aroma installers instructions ----%% reboot.
@alray
Thanks man..
As long as I have access to this forum, I feel brave enough to continue messing around with my phone.

No, wiping will not clear your recovery partition

[Q] update issue

Hello all I am a noob getting into the game, I am trying to get my m7 to update with no luck. I have an AT&T branded One running on versio 1.26.502.15 . I have tried all the little tricks to get it to find them, but nadda. I have been reading into all the resets, RUUs, and OTAs and honestly I'm just more confused. From what I read about manually installing OTAs, I haven't been able to find the right one to upgrade my version. I just want to get up to date with Android and Sense. If anybody could just point me in the right direction I would be so thankful. If there's any other info needed I'll get it up here.

do you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer? If yes, post the output of fastboot getvar all except the imei # and the serialno #
at&t phone must be connected to the at&t network to receive ota update, are you on at&t?
manually installing ota update require s-off, your phone is currently s-on. good new is its "pretty easy" to s-off on hboot 1.44, ok maybe not that easy for a new user but you should be able to s-off if you need to by following revone s-off guide.
if you are not on at&t network:
easiest solution (imo):
unlock the bootloader (this void warranty)
flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3
flash the guru reset rom 5.12.502.2
or
more complicated but better (imo):
unlock bootloader
flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3
root
s-off using revone
flash the latest ruu (4.18.502.7)
manually flash ota updates from 4.18.502.7 to 5.12.502.2

update issue
Thank you for the info I don't have adb fastboot installed guess I'll need to start there, I am using the new cricket gsm network which if I'm correct uses AT&T towers but I guess that's why I was unable to get the updates because I'm not actually on AT&T. Will I still need to get s-off with the first solution or not ? Thanks again for the help, I'll get on it and let you know how it goes.

Could you tell me where to find the 5.12.502.2 reset Rom, I went to HTC guru and could not find it in the list, also what are your thoughts on the twrp 2.7, I read a few comments about it and seemed like people were having trouble with it on their One's, I wondered if it would be better to have the new version or if I should just stick with the other one. Thanks again for the help.

better to stick with 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 unless you want to experiment. there is a charging bug with 2.7.0.0 and it looks like there are also some other bugs with 2.7.1.0 for flashing roms, not sure if it was solved in 2.7.1.1. use 2.6.3.3 or .3.4 and youll be fine.
and no, you dont need s-off to use the reset rom. but a reset rom will not update all the firmware, you'll get an updated rom(software), on the hardware side, only recovery and radio will be updated (if you choose to flash stock radio and recovery at the reset rom installation). hboot will not be updated using this solution.
do a nandroid backup of your current config, just in case you need to restore if something goes wrong.

After lots and lots of research into this before doing I've decided to go with viperone custom Rom, if I understand it right I won't have to mess with s-off for this,please correct me if I'm wrong. But I have found some conflicting instructions, I read somewhere that I will have to copy the boot.img from the Rom and flash it before flashing the Rom then others without that step, so I'm confused, I wanna male sure I do this right the first time. Also are there any files that I need to have updated before flashing a 4.4 sense 6 custom Rom or will it all be included in the Rom?
Thank you

Hi there
Been a long time since I've posted and hope I'm in the right place. Did a search for my question and wound up here.
My phone is stock and s-on, I haven't done anything to it, it's exactly the same as when it came out the box, but I haven't been able to update the software in settings>about>software updates for a while now, it just keeps coming back with download unsuccessful. Any ideas how I can sort this, or do it another way?
Thanks in advance

[Q] HTC One M7 OTA Sense 6 Stuck

Hello community,
first of all i want to say that i am now trying to fix my problems since the past 10 hours!
So here it is:
I bought a new HTC One M7 on last saturday. After i done the first steps i checked if there were updates available. So it was. I updated it and after it was done i checked if there is another update. But it wasnt.
So i thought this was the latest and newest firmware and i started to use it.
After a few days i wanted to have sweep2wake. I rooted my device and flashed the Bulletproof 14.2 kernel which is close to stock but with sweep2wake.
Btw i flashed the TWRP recovery.
All went perfect on first try.
On saturday i ordered a case for my HTC One M7 from ROCK with the window on top (which came on monday). I read that i need Sense 6 in order to get it work. But i was on Sense 5.5. I wondered at this point because i updated it on saturday to the latest version. So to make sure i checked it again. And yes there was actually a update to sense 6. But now the problem was that i rooted my device and got custom kernel/recovery. This was a problem.
So first i tried to get back to Stock recovery and relock the phone before updating. (Btw i forgot to get the stock kernel back on). But as i relocked the device, it got stuck in bootloader. Always booting in bootloader. After many trys i got it back to unlock and than i tried to install the update (still with custom kernel). It failed!
Than i thought that i just could restore my backup ( backup was made before i rooted my device with adb) but this doesnt help to install the OTA Update.
I also tried to restore my nandroid backup from TWRP but the problem was, after i restored the ADB backup the nandroid update wasnt on my device. But i saved it on my PC. Now the problem was that i couldnt copy any files over to my HTC M7! :crying:
I tried so many things to get it back to work but its still not working. So i cant copy over my nandroid backup or other things.
Adb push doesnt work too.
Next problem is that i cant find original RUU for my device.
Here is what my bootloaderscreen says:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_UL PUT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-4A.26.3263.18
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Apr 21 2014, 15:48:24. 0
My firmware (looked up in settings) is: 4.20.111.21
CID: T-MOB101 DE
And there is NO RUU for this device on the internet. This made me sad. Btw after the restores the Bulletproof kernel is still on device.
So i hope you can help me get this Sense 6 OTA Update on this Phone and help to get back the ability to copy things from my pc to my phone.
If you need data from me just post the needed ones.
Now the only thing i can do is wait for your helpful answers.
Sincerely YaaOmo

Follow this post on what to do when you don't have an OS. This will help you get your phone working and talking to your computer. When you get this up and running, we can then address updating your phone.

The thought on the ROM was to put your backup that is on your PC onto your phone. You say your system is running but is it communicating with your phone? If it is then you should be able to run both ADB and FASTBOOT commands. If not, then you might need to install new HTC drivers.
@djtrex If you have a nandroid backup of your stock rom 4.20.111.21 could you post it for Yaaomo? Thanks!

ATM i CAN use adb and fastboot but i cannot plugg it into my PC and copy paste files (for example mp3 or zip or whatever).
What do you mean with if my system is communicating with my phone?

When you plug your phone to the computer, in Device Manager you should see Android USB Devices -> My HTC. If you don't then you need to re-install your HTC drivers. If that doesn't work then you will need an OTG cable so you can hook up an USB drive to your phone to put files on it.

To take OTA's you need a couple of things
1. Stock ROM
2. Stock Recovery
3. And I believe a locked bootloader.
You cannot have anything custom at all.
If you didn't take an nandroid backup of your stock rom you will have to try and find one on the web, or maybe via GURU1.
Install stock ROM, flash stock recovery through fastboot.. once flashed fastboot erase cache, relock your bootloader then you should be back 100% stock and should b able now to get OTA's.
good luck

WIth all the conversation above, I think its now simple. Just do this in the order.
1. Copy the nandroid backup you did before rooting on the Phone, in the exact location.
2. Now boot into recovery, and restore the backup. I suppose this will also restore the stock kernel. reboot the device and check in the settings ->about. If not, find the stock kernel in the forums and flash that through recovery.
3. flash the stock recovery. (you'll easily find in the forums).
4. lastly lock the bootloader.
reboot, find for updates and update your phone. It will happen smoothly.

Hi, first of all thanks for your answer. I know the required things to do OTAs. But again i dont know why, i can see my phone in device manager and i can go on sdcard but i cant copy things over. It says "Copy pprozess canceled".
I tried to restore my nandroid backup with OTG. It was successful but i got the custom Bulletproof kernel. And yesterday i searched (like i said) for Stock ROM/Kernel but it doesnt exist for my device. So thats a problem.

Thanks for your answer too. But like i wrote above, i now cant copy my backup over. And i just dont know why :S
And again for my device, i couldnt find neither Stock ROM nor Stock Kernel.

EDIT: I tried to copy over via OTG but the copy porcess is canceled too. Is the sdcard broken? What can i do?
EDIT2: I wiped dat and internal storage. Now i can copy over things again.

I think your only solution at this point is to extract the boot.img file from the International (4.19.401.11) firmware. You can find stock firmware packages at this site. I would think your phone will boot up with it since lot of the custom roms use this as their base. If that doesn't work or you don't want to try it, then I would try to get S-OFF. Then you could change your CID & MID (if necessary) to flash the Int'l RUU. Then you will be able to get the latest updates a little quicker.

You need to get S-OFF first or the RUU will not run. Here is the site for firewater S-OFF, read the instructions and prerequisites very carefully. If you follow @nkk71 Guide for Going Back to Stock on how to flash a different branded RUU. Just stop following the guide after you flash the RUU and start receiving the OTA.

Give rumrunner a try. Some S-OFF schemes work on some phones and not others. If you can not get S-OFF, then you will have to install a custom rom unless someone can get you a stock nandroid.
Could you post a fastboot getvar all with the imei and serial number blocked or erased? Also, update your recovery to twrp-2.7.1.2 there are changes made to this version which would have eliminated the missing OS.

EDIT: I now got a custom ROM on my phone. ARHD. In some formus they said the combination of Bulletproof 14.2 and ARHD 71.1 can make the phone to S-OFF. Didn't work for me. So my last question is if i can get S-OFF with another tool or is it atm not available for my phone?

look you original cid o T-MOS101 and roms *.**.111.* so you cant intall roms HTC_001 *.**.401.*
try this one Guru Reset M7 2.24.111.3
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-111-3-zip/
in aroma instal also stock recovery and radio
