Hi,
My camera had problems focusing so I tried flashing the GPE ROM in hope of it would fix my camera - no luck. Now I need to get it back for repair so I need to get it back to complete stock.
Got my bootloader relocked, and i'm back on the 4.2.2 stock sense 5 ROM since I did a nandroid backup before flashing the GPE ROM. The only problem is now that i'm rooted and have hboot 1.54 with S-on so I cannot run any RUU's.
Is it possible to unroot it and get the stock recovery ?
My version is:
Baseband 4A.17.3250.14
Version 2.24.401.1
Flash the Mike1986's stock rom, and the stock recovery, after relock your bootloader and you will be stock

If you flashed the stock ROM you're not rooted.
The problem is probably that you're relocked, with no way of becoming locked.
The best you can do is HTCDev unlock and install stock recovery, then relock again and hope that's close enough.
Or wait for S-OFF on 1.54 or, if you really are "locked" vs "relocked", find or wait for the 2.24.401 RUU.

you are right, just checked with root checker and I am not rooted. But how do I know which recovery I am running? As of right now nothing happens when I try to enter the recovery in bootloader. I guess it is becaused I just relocked the bootloader?

Not sure how to check which recovery. Normally a nandroid has the custom recovery, unless you fastboot boot recovery.img with it stock (which you should, but is usually left out of the guides).
However, somewhere it will say "tampered" (hboot?) if you have unsigned software installed. If it doesn't say tampered, you have stock stuff.

It says tampered and as far as I can understand from other threads, it will keep saying that no matter what I do.
But I didnt fastboot any recovery image, just restored the nandroid backup in my custom recovery.
So I guess I have to unlock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery.
Thank you for your explanations

I'm pretty sure tampered goes away when all the partitions have signed software, but I'm open to correction. Where does it say that?
Nah, the fastboot boot is the first step after unlocking, before you flash custom recovery, you should boot it and then nandroid and then flash custom recovery and ROM or root. That way your nandroid is actual stock.
Anyway yeah, unlock, flash stock, relock (unless you're "locked" vs "relocked") should be fine.
You can only remove the tampered flag when you are S-Off, obviously not an option at the moment on Hboot 1.54 .. Same goes for changing the relocked back to locked, S-Off needed. As Guich said, check mike1986's threads as he has the stock recovery image to install using fastboot.
When you did your Nandroid backup, did you check to backup recovery? if not you will need to install it again using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Hey guys,
I relocked my bootloader using the AIO ToolKit, but now the phone only boots into the bootloader. Even if I choose recovery, in just goes back to the bootloader. Is there any way to fix this? I can't use an RUU because of incorrect CID (Orange).
You need stock recovery I think before you relock it.
Ah OK, I'll give that a shot thanks
What's the best way to get back to stock recovery (for CID ORANG001)?
i just finished S-ON and locking back my device because i need to my warranty back.
and i discovered there isn't RUU that suits my phone.
now i am on bootloader with no room and i want to restore a original room or any other RUU that won't leave any other cellular compeny sign
i tried:
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
and
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed
and they aren't working .
what do you think i can do?
my version is 2.24.401.2
You should've got everything back BEFORE going back to S-ON, as there is no RUU you'll have to unlock the bootloader using HTCDev and then flash a CWM backup

1. Backup data on phone
2. Unlock using HTCDev
3. Flash TWRP
4. Restore the backup
5. Flash the stock recovery
6. Relock the bootloader

If you're S-ON and have HBOOT 1.54 there is NO choice but to unlock, flash CWM and restore a backup. You cab't do anything else

Hello,
I'd like to ask few question about using the factory reset option with a stock 4.3 sense rom (unlocked bootloader, rooted and twrp recovery)
So, i rooted my device to try out viper4android but turns out its completely useless to me as i later learned that stock does not allow read/write to system partition and now i'm wondering how to go back safely.
As i said above, i'm still using the stock 4.3 rom with an unlocked bootloader no other changes made, so my question is to go back stock (using factory reset) do i need to:
1. Flash stock recovery and do a factory reset.
2. Flash stock recovery, relock bootloader and do a factory reset.
3. Guru reset M7
4. Other?
Thanks ~
EDIT:
Quick update, so just flashed stock recovery and used factory reset, now ofc the root did remain, so now my question is, can i
take ota safely with stock rom/recovery but rooted?
Thanks ~
Anyone please, are any of my choices the good one (if so wich one)?

This is the way to go back to a stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
If you’re on hboot which is above 1.44, then first thing is to downgrade that:
so download this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/1-29-401-12_hboot_1-44-zip/
in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash it:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip <---- just in case the above said “failed flush again”
fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> and confirm hboot is now 1.44
Thank you for your help, the problem is i'm on hboot 1.55 and rumrunner ain't working because of the
secure stock kernel, so i cannot go with the ruu way, wich is why i was wondering if i could simply use
the factory reset option since other than being rooted it is fully stock, or else the htc1 guru reset option.

Post ur getvar all if ur confused as to which RUU to flash
As i said above flashing a ruu ain't an option since i'm s-on, what i meant by factory reset is the built in option (either through fastboot
or settings) with stock sense since i did not change anything, just unlocked the bootloader and rooted, and if that's not possible then if
guru reset utility for peoples with s-on is a good idea.
So i ended flashing stock recovery and used factory reset, everything did go alright tho ofc the root did remain, so now my question is, can i
take kitkat ota safely with stock rom/recovery but rooted? Or the fact that it's rooted risk messing up stuff? Oh and i dont mind loosing root.
Thanks ~

Hey Guys,
Can I please get some help? I am S-off and I have flashed the 6.06 no red warning hboot, but I need to return the phone for a repair.
I flashed the 5.11.401.10 firmware from Mike1986's repository (only because I could find matching recovery and ROM for this firmware), but the red warning has not come back. Is this a problem? Is there another version of this firmware I can use that WILL bring back the red warning (ie. an unmodified hboot)?
I have read NEVER to lock/relock a modified hboot as it'll do some nasty things. I need to be 100% before I go any further. I have the matching 5.11 odexed rom and recovery from the same repository.
I'm assuming the process is:
1. fix the issue with the hboot
2. flash the stock ROM
3. lock bootloader using the easy aroma method.
4. flash stock recovery via adb.
I've been told that I could leave it s-off as it will likely go unnoticed if the bootloader is locked. is this true?
Any and all help is vastly appreciated.

If you flashed the firmware from mike1986's [PLACEHOLDER] HTC One firmware collection for different CID/MID then you have both the stock hboot and stock recovery. His firmware does not have modified hboots. I would do the following:
1. flash custom recovery
2. flash stock rom
3. lock bootloader and remove tampered if present
4. flash stock recovery
I would leave it S-OFF.

If you have a stock recovery you will not have the red warning, it will come back if you have a custom recovery and a stock hboot. Did you flash a custom recovery after you flashed the stock firmware? If you did, you should see the red come back if not you will not. It is only visible when you enter recovery.

Thank you. That's the answer I was looking for. So I can go ahead and lock the boot loader without issue.

Yes, just follow these steps:

2. flash stock rom
3. lock bootloader and remove tampered if present using this tool: guru-bootloader-reset
4. flash stock recovery

You can follow nkk71's guide in my signature.
If you don't want to go completely back to stock just to get OTA you can flash this Guru Reset 4.19.401.11 in TWRP. In Aroma just select stock recovery and radio, when you reboot you will have stock recovery, stock rom. To get the OTA updates, you will have to relock your bootloader. You can use this command in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot oem lock

Thank you so much! i searched a lot for my versions reset tool. Just one last question. When i update my firmware and OS now and make a nandroid backup, will that nandroid help me revert back to stock after i have rooted my phone again?

Yes, it will make it a little easier. You will need to make the nandroid backup the first thing when you boot into recovery the first time before you root the phone. Save it to your computer for future use. If you are able to get the stock recovery from the firmware you can use it with your nandroid backup to get you close to stock. You would flash the stock recovery with the same commands as you flashed the custom recovery.
