[Q] What is Going on. Reverted to stock question!?! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok guys, so i have reverted back to stock. Everything seems to be fine and dandy.
States **Tampered** **Relocked** in bootloader. Stock rom is installed from a CWM Nandroid Backup.
However... i seem to have a problem. When i try to factory reset the phone, all it does is boot into bootloader.
When i try to do a software update on the phone... excactly the same thing happens. Just boots into bootloader.
Why is the happening? Please Please Please help me. . .
Ive searched and searched, used google also, and cant find any answers. . .
CID: Orang001.
Please help.
Thanks in advanced.
BTW... ive been using the all in one toolkit for the One.

Do you still have CWM installed?

No i dont believe so because i have flashed a Stock recovery. . .
When i goto bootloader and try to enter recovery manually it just sits on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen with 'Entering Revoery...' in pink up the top... and does nothing.

I think to get into stock recovery from that point, you have to press power and vol up.

nope still not working.
this is doing my head in now. . . Why wont it work? Is there a special recovery for Orang001 CID?
Its getting sold tomorrow becuase im getting a Black one... but im a honest bloke and couldnt sell it like this...

Right... started again... Stock rom... But unlocked bootloader and CWM installed.
What can i check.. how can i make sure i have the right recovery?

Run a RUU for your carrier if one exists.
Might want to review this thread if you haven't already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738

No there isnt one... thats why i used a Nandroid Backup.

I don't believe the recovery varies across carrier. You should be able to flash the version that goes with your hboot version from one of the firmware threads.
You also need to run fastboot erase cache when changing recoveries if you haven't been.

anypne using BELL HTC one?

hi.
I was using HTC One with Android Revolution and I would like to go back to stock.
unfortunately I have lost my nandroid and radio back ups (updated radio to latest one)
I was able to get nandroid backup from xda (thank you)
and restore it. however when I try to OTA update or factory reset it says security warning in bootloader
researching through google I realized that updated radio prevents me from doing OTA update and factory reset.
Is it possible to get a radio back up for bell or does anyone know how to make it work?
Thank you!

boot loader security warning <-- no this is due to the installation of a recovery.

This is what i said , The warning appears when installing a recovery and radio did not report on this.

Sprint HTC One keeps rebooting after ROM install

I've unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, and have tried installing several different roms, wiping the cache each time. Each one has heralded the same result though, after boot up after about 10 seconds of being able to use the phone, it will just restart. This has gotten me very frustrated. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem except I think it's because I flashed the wrong kernel. It was an m7 instead of m7spr kernel. IDK how it even happened but my phone boots up with no signal. I can get to the settings quick enough and noticed baseband says unknown. Tried restoring a sense backup and installing different kernels.
Edit: Actually I flashed a kernel here in the Sprint HTC One forum. It was an aosp rom and an aosp kernel. But still no matter what I do I can't get it to stay booted.

So I relocked the bootloader and tried installing a stock ruu, but I just get an error message, no idea what to do. -_-
Ok, so apparently I need to get S-Off to use the older RUU, but can't seem to get revone working because I cant boot up for more than 15 seconds, can someone help here?

Try this [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800] It helped my problem. Erased everything from the device but I had it backed up anyway. You do not need s-off but you need to relock your bootloader. It's really easy tho. Google message me or PM me here if you need help.

[Q] HTC One M7 EE/T-Mobile/Orange UK Semi Bricked

All,
I am pulling my hair out, I decided to root my phone today so I could delete the default APN's, I have tried CWM and also TWRP.
All was fine, as soon as I installed Busybox something went horribly wrong, my phone will not boot up and just displays the "HTC Logo" I can get to the boot menu and boot to either CWM or TWRP. However there is nothing I can do within there, I cannot find a RUU for my model (CID is Orange) I have found a nandroid backup but CWM/TWRP refuses to see it via OTG and I have tried lots of USB Sticks.
I really do not know what to do next, I cannot turn S-OFF as HBOOT is 1.54
What can I do, I have read thread after thread.
Is there a default recovery.img or one for my carrier as I cannot find it.
Many thanks,
Dale
Managed to restore a nandroid, but I have no touch screen!
Tried clearing cache etc, have currently got a mouse plugged in to it to control it, there is an OTA available so going to try that.

Don't try it with a custom recovery. You'll need to relock your bootloader too.
No touchscreen is a firmware issue. The nandroid you restored will be an old one not compatible with the latest firmware..

Just for now for the sake of getting a working phone I would just flash a 4.2.2 stock ROM, or Sense-based Rom. You'll need to unlock your bootloader again obviously.

Thanks for the reply, was up till 3am trying to get around this and got it going eventually.
That's what I have done for now, I sideloaded a stock Sense ROM which came with a stock recovery.img, guess I have to wait for a S-OFF for 1.54 if it ever happens.

[Q] Stock recoveries - The right one, their behavior and the risks of flashing them

Hi, I have an Unlocked 32GB HTC One (BS_US001) and I'm having a hard time trying to find info about stock recoveries.
My phone currently is on stock 4.1.2, bootloader unlocked, S-Off and rooted. I was using the TWRP recovery, used to root my phone. Since the 4.3 update came out, I was searching for the stock recovery to proceed with the update, but too many different files seems to exist. I just want to install the right recovery and apply the 4.3 update, no full ROM flash.
Yesterday I flashed this recovery file (9MB) and got icons similar of those on the right of this image.
Today, I flashed this one (7.9MB) and got something like this, the little android icon.
Later, I've found another one (9.8MB).
Edit: and another one, a few bytes shorter than the third.
But now I'm little afraid of flashing again, just for the sake of it.
So, first of all, which one is the right file for my phone (yet another one)?
Second, I flash recoveries through fastboot command line (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img). Can this method and command brick my phone?
Third, how the stock recovery behaves on your phone? Both times, when I flashed the files and entered in recovery mode, my phone would boot 2 or 3 times straight into recovery mode again, until it boot itself properly, into the system. Also, recovery mode goes from the green to the red icon and awaits until I reboot the phone again.
Thanks in advance.
Final edit: For the sake of others lost in the lack of good info, I'm editing this old post.
I found some crap advices here and there. One of them was the need to relock the bootloader to accept OTAs. It doesn't make any sense, but if you are seeking help, you will take **** as good advice. Don't do it.
Another bad advice was about the stock recovery. Just open the last update you got (Downloads folder on your phone or get the OTA from HTC website) and extract the recovery.img file. Flash it and you have the proper stock recovery for your phone.
All of this is about the stock HTC One - no custom roms, no xposed changes, nothing. The only thing I did prior to this was to flash TWRP and root. That's how I want my phone for now - stock with root.
I kind of went through this today. Ended up just wiping it, running a RUU and reapplying OTAs.
I'll tell you this… after I went through this I attempted to salvage the stock recovery before rerooting etc. I was stuck trying to get fastboot to boot a recovery instead of flash one. I did find an alternate way to harvest the recovery. I got it out of the ota. I'm not done testing it yet, but my phone was still showing tampered. Flashed cwr and called it a day at that point
Sent from my HTC One
Thank you for your answer. I'm trying to avoid the whole RUU thing, but I'll keep it as a last resource, for sure. Also, I'm trying to understand more about this piece of software called recovery.
The one I sent you is pulled directly from stock 1.29.1540.16 for Dev. edition, which comes with an unlocked bootloader as well. Also, it's signed, which will allow it to be flashed whether you're s-on or off. Assuming your MID is PN0712000, with CID BS_US001, this recovery is your stock and will work. Hope it helps.

I've been running into similar issues. For the previous 2 OTA's (1540.3 --> 1540.16 & 1540.16 --> 1540.17), simply reflashed stock recovery, ran the OTA, it updated, then I flashed TWRP again. For the most recent OTA (3.22.1540.1, I think), that seems to not be working, but I can't seem to find the right recovery. I've found 1540.3's recovery, but not 1540.16 (or .17 if there was a new recovery in that OTA). Where did you end up finding it?
Thanks!

1.29.1540.16 Developer Edition signed stock recovery.
Has anyone else flashed stock recovery while on custom ROM? I was pleasantly surprised to discover my SD card was wiped Is this normal, and was there some way I could have figured out this was what was going to happen? I don't really understand what stock recovery does/is for. The only other time I'd flashed stock recovery was after restoring to stock ROM from nandroid.

I haven't been rooted since one of the last 4.1.2 updates, because that's when I went back to stock recovery. I was able to accept those OTA packs, why is this one different? I'm really trying to save factory resets or RUU's for the absolute last ditch effort, in fact I'm more likely to stick with 4.1.2 until I can find a way to do this.

[Q] Need help getting back to stock

Hello, I have rooted (s-on) my Htc one m8 Harmon/Kardon edition. I have seen a lot of threads and guides showing how to do this but none of them seem to apply to my specific cid, which is SPCS_004.

Hello, I have rooted (s-on) my Htc one m8 Harmon/Kardon edition. I have seen a lot of threads and guides showing how to do this but none of them seem to apply to my specific cid, which is SPCS_004. I haven't been able to find any compatible nandroid backups. I think maybe im just in over my head and I don't want to mess anything up....can anyone point me in the right direction?

Just to be clear, I have installed a custom rom and I am now wanting to go back to the original stock rom.....and also the stock recovery if possible so I can install OTA updates.

Yes it will wipe your phone just like it came from the factory, so backup anything important to your PC.
Yes there a HK RUU's and non HK RUU's in the thread I linked.
You can download the RUU directly from HTC:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/
It is located at the bottom of the page. But you might want to wait a few days and download the Lollipop RUU when it releases. It will replace the current KK version once approved and FOTA is pushed out.

It threw me an error. ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR the ROM update utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again. This is what I was trying to avoid. Now my phone won't boot at all.

Here are some things to try.
Did you re-lock your bootloader?
Try a different USB port (USB2 work best)
Try a different PC.
To get back to bootloader press power vol up until the screen turns black then hold vol down.
If you know how to use adb/fastboot commands you can open a cmd and type
fastboot reboot-bootloader

I did not re lock my bootloader. I tried a different usb port, with no luck. I don't have another PC to try it with. What should I do to at least get my phone working in the meantime? even if it isn't stock? Can I just flash a rom through recovery?

If you are s-on you have to re-lock the bootloader for it to work.
You should be able to flash a rom thru recovery.
