Hello XDA,
Ok I'm currently on the Rogers network. I want to go completely stock is there a zip or ruu that I can use ? I want to go complete stock and receive carrier updates. Please someone just give me the steps. I'm tired of install this zip and that zip. Please someone give me clear and concise instructions.
Thanks
What are you running right now? What is your fastboot getvar all (remove imei/sn)? This is not a paid for forum , so you have to do your legwork, and not expect to be spoonfed.
Hi fellas! I'm kinda scared and confused right now.
I just bought a 2nd hand HTC One M7
and I noticed that it is rooted something like ViperOne, wanted to change it back to stock.
So I did some things with fastboot and now I'm stuck and I don't know where to start.
Can anyone help me with this one? This is my first time with root things so kinda be patient with me
Should I post the information about fastboot getvar all?
Yeah, maybe with more info we can help you.
Remember to remove your imei and serialnum

What options do you have in the bootloader screen and what exactly have you done/tried?
Which guides did you follow on the attempt to go back to stock?
Do you know which custom recovery it has?
I have the options of
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
SHOW BARCODE
I tried doing the fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
I don't know what I was doing I was desperate
Kinda busy at work specially I work at night can't bring it to an expert or some sort.

you have to do:
- Re-Unlock the device
- Flash a custom recovery
- Flash the guru zip for back to stock
- Relock the bootloader
Do someone has the patience to guide me in a step by step procedure and help me find the necessary tools. Should we do this with reply to this post?
I've downloaded alot of zip files almost went over my internet limit around 1gb per zip.
Thank you so much guys. Good thing there is XDA, active members :laugh:

Start with this for unlocking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU7vi388dMk
Then I would go for this: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/164
Edit; What Guich said =)
So right now I'm currently downloading rumrunner since in the guide I should go down to HBOOT 1.44 since I have 1.54 is that correct?
And how about the versions of cid modelid radio I don't have any idea about that

All this info are on the pic you've posted before, and in a fastboot getvar all output
Gotcha! Right now I'm following the video of QBking unlocking my bootloader just give me couple of minutes see if this will work.
On nkk71's guide it says i need to remove the tampered and relocked
But on QBking's video i need to unlock it?
Is it the same or it is for a different thing?
HTC One update with unlocked SIM
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum and I apologize if the post is in the wrong category. And sorry for the android rookie questions, but I really need your help.
I own HTC One
I bought it with SIM lock
Phone has custom recovery (TeamWin) and it is s-OFF. I am not sure that I understand completely what this means but I found out this facts while reading this forum.
At the end, phone is unlocked (SIM unlock) by local service store (40 EUR).
I would like to update the software and OTA update does not work.
I would be grateful for step by step instructions how to update the phone software and not to SIM-lock the phone again.
My biggest concern is not to pay again for SIM unlock.
You have attached screenshots…
Thank you!

To receive and install OTA updates you need to have the stock recovery on your device. If you re-flash the stock recovery, you can install the OTA update. Once it has properly installed you can go replace stock recovery with TWRP.
I'm pretty sure it won't re-apply the SIM-lock to your phone, but I wouldn't like to say for certain. (Mine came already unlocked)

U will have to go back to the stock unrooted firmware by using the RUU. This will wipe off your internal storage completely and restore the phone to factory settings. This guide will tell you what to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
The RUU which you have to download and flash is:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-27-1127-01_release_308001_signed_2_4-exe/
please gather information and the read the guide a few times before you actually do anything

That's not true. Just have to install the stock recovery, then you can do the OTA update. After the update, reinstall either CWM or TWRP and flash SuperSU or Superuser to regain root. The OTA should not affect SIM unlock at all, at least it never has in my experience.
honestly it would be easier to just go with a custom rom since hes already s-off and custom recovery
OP. 2. options.
1. Flash this recovery, and hit the OTA check button. http://d-h.st/M4R
2. Download this RUU package: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...31.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
and install!

Can you please explain this much more in details.
Is there any other way to update other than returning back to stock?
It does not have to be OTA.

yes you can update your firmware and flash a custom rom, if your looking for a close to stock experience i would advise ARHD 51
I just wanted to chime in and assure you that your sim unlock will not be affected by flashing custom ROMs, RUUs, firmwares, radios, recoveries, etc. I have flashed everything under the sun on my One and have retained my sim unlock.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you very much!
I will try to do stock recovery right away, I just need correct RUU. I assume that one of these 2 are OK
1) http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_htc_europe_1-20-401-1_radio_4a-13-3227-06_10-27-1127-01_release_308001_signed_2_4-exe/

Are these OK and which to use?
If these are not OK which should I use?
Please, please, I just need this one info.
Let me ask different question:
Is it must for RUU to match version-main?
My version is on the picture (1.29.401.12) and I found only one RUU for this version but not for my CID (HTC__032).
What to do?

The important thing to verify is that your CID matches what the RUU is designed for. On either of those RUU's you mention, look in the comments section of the post and see the CIDs. As long as you have one of those CIDs, you can install it.
Also, if you look at the RUU version number (1.20.401.1), you notice the third number in the sequence is "401". This signifies the WWE (World Wide Edition) version, so it will work with the majority of devices. The .401 firmwares are what most custom ROMs are based on, and are generally considered to be the most compatible. I am running a .401 firmware on my AT&T device without any issues. So any RUU with a .401 version would work for you.

No, the version-main doesn't need to match. That is just the current firmware version you have installed. If you install an RUU, it will update you to whatever version the RUU is based on. The only thing, if your device is still s-on, you can't install an RUU with a LOWER version than what is shown in version-main. You can upgrade with an RUU if you are s-on, just not downgrade.
The important thing is to find an RUU that works with CID "HTC__032".
Hmm... both those RUUs are lower than what you currently have, so they won't run with s-on. If you really want to be able to run the RUU, you're going to have to s-off so you can run the lower RUU, then update with the OTA.
If you're not ready for doing s-off, you might want to think about just leaving it as is, installing a custom recovery like TWRP, and flashing a custom stock ROM like the ARHD Stock Rom. You can't get OTA, but that's alright because it already is updated. Any of the custom ROMs will work fine with .401 firmwares like you have. I would recommend this route over the s-off and RUU method, honestly, that's a lot of work for little gain, unless you just absolutely must get back to stock.
Anyway, hope this helps!

Just a quick note for you my friend, the ruu you linked is a pre-release version with hboot 1.43 and no ota update. The correct ruu is 1.28.401.7 not the 1.20.401.1.
from nkk71' guide:
2) RUU.ZIP (Windows7, Mac, Linux): http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-zip-downloads/ <- this is now the preferred method instead of RUU.EXE
------> if you’ve found a RUU.ZIP proceed to post 3
---------> Note: M7_UL .401. users don't use 1.20.401.1, use 1.28.401.7 instead

Hey guys. Well I have an HTC One from Sprint and I wanted to sim unlock it. I didn't know that with android 4.4 kitkat it is impossible (so I've heard on diferrent places) and can't get a prompt for the unlock code when I insert a diferrent sim card other than Sprint. Turns out I needed to root my HTC One to downgrade the android version. I rooted my phone and flashed a 4.2 version on my phone but now I don't have touchscreen functions. I got pissed because everywhere I look for help the instructions are not clear or there is no step-by-step assistance, only a bunch of people saying "go to this site and do this and then download this and blah blah", when I follow the links I just get outdated info with more links to outdated info. So right now I just want my HTC One unrooted but with an android 4.1 or 4.2 stock version but I can't find any accurate, info for dummies. Can anyone help me? I'm kinda desperate by now. If you need any software info about my phone, kernel, radios or things like that just let me know. I'm so tired of searching with no luck that I just want some help step by step like a newborn baby. Thanks in advance!!
Maybe u should try to flash some ROMs like Viper, it will activate ur phone automatically. My sprint htc one is running Viper5.0, and i am using Chinese carrier SIM. The phone works quite well.

between 4.2 and 4.3 the touch firmware changred you need to have 4.3 or above to use touch and your recovery has to be the latest for the m7wls(sprint)example:TWRP 2.6.3.0 I would advise installing a 4.3 rom, if you want to downgrade your firmware to 4.1 you'll have to use an RUU OF THAST VERSION but you need to be s-off to do so.
I forgot to mention that the ROM I flashed was ViperBoy's Sprint HTC One 1.29.651.10 stock Odexed. I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 flashed as well. I am S-On right know.
The reason why I want a ROM below version 4.3 is to be able to unlock my sim with the unlock code. With 4.4 I can't make that happen because there is no prompt for entering the unlock code.

Posting on behalf of one of my mates. He tried rooting his htc desire 626s Tmobile us. Unfortunately he messed up and it ran into a bootloop along with a coldboot message. He tried flashing ruu files. But does not work. Was wondering if anyone has a stock flashable rom or a backup of their system. So he could restore via twrp? Any other possible solutions as many others are running into the same ditch. Please help.

His bootscreen is stucked here.
I would need to know the status of his/her bootloader(Unlocked or Locked/Relocked) and prior firmware.however,i could almost guaruntee that if you set the bootloader locked again,the RUU will work.its a minimal task,but in he grand scheme of things could cause the RUU to fail with errors,such as 155.if you need a link to it,i can assist. The command to reset the bootloader locked is without the quotes,"fastboot oem lock" from fastboot.

Hey check out this post I made. I had a similar issue with the RUU. This might help it run. You have to install this to get it to run right.
