Managed to soft Brick.. help please?

Managed to softbrick my HTC one o2 UK.
Not sure if anyone has had the same problems, and if they have i cant find it for love nor money.
I can get into hboot and into cwm recovery. Recovery cannot mount sdcard or data, i have ADB pushed cm10.1 to sdcard but cannot access it via the recovery, i have also sideload installed the cm10.1 zip via ADB sideload but i still get a bootloop.
i did have a nandroid backup but in a fruitless effort trying to go back to stock i forgot to backup the nandroid to pc, and when i relocked bootloader it wiped.
I have hboot 1.44 and am using cwm 6.0.3.2 if that helps. I would like to get it back to stock o2uk factory if at all possible (cant find relevant RUU)
Any and all help appreciated. Cheers

do you have s-off? if yes, i'd suggest to flash the official open europe RUU "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7" (since we don't have a o2uk RUU/Nnandroid):

you can use hasoon2000's toolkit for this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
good luck

managed to get cm10.1 back on it. Relocking and unlocking the bootloader seems to have reset the /data partition and let me have access...
Softbricked it by attempting s-off. Neither method works for me. With revone i get fragmentation error. and moonshine just tells me to start it again and READ lol

After relocking bootloader to flash correct firmware.zip for moonshine it broke my CM install and wouldnt let me mount sdcard or data. It also wiped out my nandroid... so stuck with a bootloop and no way to factory reset or flash new zip.
Unlocking and relocking seemed to fix it

[Q] [HELP] Error while Unrooting HTC One m7

While trying to unroot my HTC one, I have followed the steps to relock the bootloader,which it worked with no errors.
I have used the following RUU <M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__039 / 1.29.980.2 (Australia Unbranded ) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874"
While trying to flash the RUU using command prompt, I always got "Signatures error" while trying to check the signature.
I am currently using "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023" Custom RUU and it is Rooted as mentioned above.
PLEASE HELP!!!! I would like to Unroot my HTC One M7
Thanks

1) You aren't using a ruu, but you're using a backup.
So, you have to use it with the CWM recovery!
2) Yes, you're using the "stock" rom with root.

THANKS!!!

Your LEGEND!!!!! Can you help me on how would I do it with CWM recovery?
THANKS HEAPSSS

You have to download the cwm recovery and flash it in fastboot.
After, booting in this, and restore the backup.

One more question!!!
Before I flash the RUU using CWM recovery, I need to Lock the bootloader right? and if i lock the bootloader, will i still be able to access the CWM recovery? to flash the STOCK ruu?

Unroot Hboot 1.54 S-on

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"

updated from hboot 1.55 to 1.57, now boot looping

As thread says, now boot looping. Did fastboot reboot at the end of the upgrade and phone tried to reboot then stayed off.
Trying to go into recovery but that blacks out for me as well.
saw this thread pop up in the "similar threads" field as i was creating this post so guess i should give it a go? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936852
basically says to just reinstall a custom recovery and flash a new rom and i'm all set (i think).
you need unlock device again and flash custom recovery
1)Unlock your device
2)flash custom recovery
3)flash rom

If that's the case my phone still says i'm unlocked. So yeah, not sure what to do here. Thanks in advance for any help.

My guess is the new kernel/boot.img is not compatible with the rom you are running.
1. You could try a dirty flash of your current rom.(don't wipe anything just flash the rom)
2. Flash a 5.03.651.3 stock rooted rom.
3. Restore a good backup.
4. Run the 5.03.651.3 RUU and start fresh.

Hi, yeah i see.
I went ahead and flashed a TWRP recovery i had labeled as safe and managed to get back into recovery. I'm now on one of my original stock backups which i set right before i went into custom rom mode. So got some functionality back at least.
I will now attempt the RUU process. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but after i complete it, i have to root my phone again? And s-off shouldn't change?

Since you are s-off you don't need to re-lock your bootloader, so all you should need to do after the RUU is re-flash twrp,flash SuperSU if you are going to stay stock rooted or flash a custom rom and you should be good to go.

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.
