use the all in one toolkit

Enter the following command - fastboot getvar version-main, which will tell you which ruu or nandroid version you will need.

I'm trying to get back to stock rom, i've watched many videos on this today alone and here's what i think i know...
i need to download the relevant RUU to force back into stock, the RUU i need is only in OTA.ZIP format which the All In One tool (that was so kindly pressented to me on a silver platter ) doesnt like. I am an expert in unlocking / locking the bootloader though...

Not to worry. When we have S-OFF you can flash any RUU you like. So it will be back to stock. The only bad thing is if you REALLY want to have all the Vodafone bloatware back that came from your original ROM. But there are other vodafone RUUs I think, but just not from your region.

[Q] HTC ONE back to Stock (Locking bootloader and removing root)

So i need to sell my phone because of several cash flow reasons. :crying: The person who is buying off me doesnt want the phone to be rooted. I tried looking for a back to stock thread but found nothing so far, or i am not looking hard enough.
So i just need the root to be gone and the bootloader to be locked as it was. How do i do that? Your help is greatly appreciated. I got a day to settle all this

can we get this on a mac? All i see is on windows
On top of that, some of the RUU's are in exe and some are in zip. I downloaded an .exe one. Can i use that to flash in recovery?

I know that if you can get a Windows Vitual machine running on Mac you can do it.
Then when the RUU is running you can search for the ROM
Check it out. I know if you use the HTC one AIIO toolkit you can flash the extracted data to your device. Even the recovery.img from a stock RUU.
Let me know how you get on

Lock the bootloader with revone and flash a RUU (European or WWE), like this one http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...13323127-1031113105-release-310878-signedexe/, then run revone and remove tampered message (if you have that) in bootloder but i would keep S-Off if i we`re you forever.

Unfortunately it comes up with this, and then fails at updating a while later. Turns out my hboot is 1.54 so I can't use revone right?

I remember there is a method of tricking the ruu in to thinking the device is older.if I'm not mistaken it's the changing of the cid
But someone would need to verify that one

You probably need S-Off for that right? I'm on the 1.54 hboot and the s-off method only works on 1.44 I think.
The thing is, I just noticed factory reset did not remove root.. So i'll try to unroot it first and then run the update agaib.
(also could you reply to my post directly next time? else I don't get the notification that you've answered)

Help with s-off

I have tried both moonshine and revone and cant seem to get s-off on my HTC One M7. When I try on Moonshine it gets to the adb part and times out and says for me to fix it. When I try revone, I get an error code -6. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

That's cool bro, me too not that long ago. HTC One is my first Android, and I love it. Reboot into bootloader (hold down volume and power simultaneously, phone will reboot into bootloader mode). You'll see your Hboot version there. S-off only works on Hboot 1.44.
A word of caution from one noob to another. S-off is serious stuff, and not really needed for 90% of the mods here at xda. You can flash custom roms and recoveries, and radios, all without S-off. Just be careful, and read Everything. I mean it, I have spent countless hours here at xda reading before I did anything. The community here is very willing to help, as am I.
What have you done to your phone thus far? Unlocked? Rooted? Custom recovery or ROM?

Appreciate it guys. Yea I'm running HBoot 1.44, so I guess that solves that, lol. Yea I have rooted my phone with TWRP recovery. I was really hoping to turn s-off so I could switch over to Google play edition. Any suggestions on roms and other stuff to try out? And Thanks for being helpful and patient with me. Unfortunately I'm used to dealing with jailbroken iPhones.

The fact that you're coming from the jailbreak community is good, imo. Thing is, it's practically impossible to brick an iPhone, even a jail broken one, as you could always just restore the iPhone. S-off definitely gives you the opportunity (possible but not probable, depends on what you do) to brick your phone permanently. That being said, I used Revone and it worked well and easily. Read and follow the instructions in the OP for Revone to a T. I recommend reading about the first 50 pages in that thread before you try anything also (ignore the last half of the Revone thread for the most part, just page after page of people shocked and complaining the can't S-off Hboot 1.54). Some people get Revone to work pretty easily, some try 20 times and then it just works.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390346 is a rom for GpE 4.3 that you could flash right now as you are, but yeah, you have to be S-off to fully convert.
From spending so much time here lately, some observations one noob to another:
-Either stay stock or go custom (I recommend custom), and stick to it. A lot of people here went custom (including S-off), and f'd up their Ones trying frantically to get back to stock for an OTA. Forums were littered with people who messed that up.
-Careful with TWRP. I use it and like it, but be very careful when you are wiping Dalvik/cache. Ton of people here blaze through the wipe options, then all it takes is a swipe, and suddenly they've erased everything and can't boot their phone. Just always triple check before that final swipe.
-if you modify your Hboot in any way, never ever go S-on until you flash a stock Hboot. Doing so will permanently brick your phone. I can't think of a reason to ever go S-on, but that was part if the whole return to stock for OTA scenario.
Hope this all helps!

Thanks so much for your help man. You have been a great help. So let me make sure I have this right. I have to change my HBoot version to be able to s-off at this point?

No! If you are n Hboot 1.44, you should be able to go S-off fine. I recommend Revone, only because that's what I used. Just read, read, read, and follow the instructions to the letter.

Not going to work. If you flash an international ROM you hose your storage partitions. Generally the only way to recover from this is via an RUU, but I'm guessing the user is S-ON so they'll have to wait for an updated RUU to turn up.

Need to try to get s-off, which will allow you to flash older ruu. Also I suggest in the future you read OP of any Rom you want to flash to make sure it's compatible with sprint

i have flashe internatinal rom trying to fix my gsm signal on my unlocked sprint htc one with no luck and the same has happened so ive fixed it by flashing recovery with the one click too or by using adb. Im s-off and unlocked though

same thing
I did the exact same thing. Flashed the revolution rom and selected the international version of it because it said that one applies to all carriers not listed below. stupid thing to overlook on my part. at first after doing so I was unable to get into my recovery then i used fastboot erase cache and once i did that I was able to fastboot flash the recovery image and navigate into it from the bootloader. ive tried everything i could think of once in my recovery, which is a version of cwm btw. Ive formatted data, erased cache and delvik, after that i tried installing my cyanogen 10.1 zip which i was successfully running without any problems for a day before i got greedy and tried to flash that international rom :crying: i made a backup of that working one but regardless of what I try doing whether it be restoring the back up that was working properly or re installing the cyan zip, every time it starts booting for about 30 secs then crashes reboots and tries again. it continues this loop for eternity and theres nothing i can do.looks like somebody said i messed up my internal storage partitions and im sol until a new ruu update comes out. I would greatly appreciate if someone would elaborate on that or point me in the direction of a good place to do some research on it. my bootloader says tampered, unlocked, s-on. there was also somebody that said try to get s-off and flash and older ruu. is this a possible fix?? i dont care how hard it is ill figure it out but right now im hurting for some help or direction. i appreciate any help. thanks

Are you trying this in fastboot? If you are just in the bootloader then the computer won't detect anything, but if you're in fastboot mode your computer should at least register an unknown device. And I don't think there are any 4.3 RUU's yet either...

You need to RUU, try this and see if it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44243635

No OS installed! PLEASE HELP!!

So i'm not exactly sure how i did it but somehow I must have deleted the OS on the phone.
I have s-off and it is unlocked but now I can't even boot up the phone. It is just stuck in the bootloader. if i try to boot it tells me that there is no OS installed and do i want to install SU. I have tried both installing it and not installing it. Neither works. It just hangs on the HTC screen till the battery dies and I can't even reboot it at that point. I just have to wait until the battery goes.
Please...does anyone know what I can do? How can I recover? Am I screwed!?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. I would have posted this in the development page but since I don't have enough posts, it won't let me.

If you still have a custom recovery (twrp/CWM) you can sideload a rom or adb push a rom

Have you tried the 1.29 RUU? Start the program with your phone in Fastboot.
