Need help going back to Stock (Bell Canada HTC One) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Info:
Bell Mobility HTC One 32GB
S-OFF
H-Boot 1.54 Currently
Fully converted to Google Edition using 4.3 RUU
CID Changed to the Google One
I've literally been on here all day trying to figure this out. I need to sell the phone and can't afford to brick it.
Unfortunately, my Hard drive containing my Nandroids crashed and I lost them.
I cannot find a Bell Mobility RUU. There is a Nandroid backup on HTC1 Guru Here - Very first one listed under CWM Nandroids
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-bm___001-1-29-666-5-zip/
How can I revert to stock with this?
Is that Nandroid a 4.1.2 Rom? Bell never got 4.2.2, they are still on 4.1.2 so I assume so?
I think I can do this - Any help would be appreciated, need to get this done ASAP.
1) Change my CID back to BM_001 using ADB/Fastboot commands
2) Flash Custom Recovery - CWM in this case using ADB/Fastboot commands
3) FIRMWARE? I'm on the stock 4.3 Google Edition Rom - Do I need to flash old firmware? (Hboot, Radios, etc). If so, what files do I flash and how? Can somebody provide a link here?
4) Restore the Nandroid Backup
5) Flash the Stock Recovery back? Where do I get this from for the Bell 4.1.2 rom?
I will leave the phone S-OFF for whoever buys it. Is this it? I need help with Part 3 specifically if this is the procedure.
If anyone can help I'd gladly buy ya a beer!

I know I'm probably over complicating this.... just little experience with HTC phones. My main questions are regarding the CID and Firmware.
Anyone?

Easy on the double posting
Anyway, I think you may have a problem with the touchscreen drivers if you're going to restore using a CWM backup.
Since you're s-off, why not just use the international RUU and change CID to something like HTC__001. Any reason you need to stay on Bell?

I am trying to revert back to Bell so I can unlock the phone. I purchased an unlock code and it does not work. From my research I've done, the phone needs to be on a stock ROM and CID in order for the unlock code to work.

Hey, sorry i have the same issue, i'm with bell as well. i bought and unlock code and then i tried unlocking my phone but it wouldn't work because i rooted it and installed a custom rom, i followed mike 1986 thread on how to unroot and relock your bootloader but as soon as i relocked my booter loader my phone says relocked and i have s-on but now it is stuck on boot loader and i can't sideload a rom because it fails every time. it detects my phone on fastboot but thats all i can do... is my phone bricked and no good now?!?

Ok got it.
Well the steps you describe sound right, but there's the problem of getting the firmware. vomer has a guide with different firmwares, but they're all for 2.24 and above.
Not to mention the issue with the touch drivers.
Why don't you try using the odexed stock rom from mike1986 thread, that would put a stock rom on your phone, and change CID to Bell, and try your unlock code. (maybe even stock recovery)

you have to unlock your bootloader again for sideload to work.

if i say fastboot erase cache it will erase cache
if i say fastboot reboot it will reboot the phone
if i say adb devices my device will not show up
if i try fastboot flash zip ruu.zip it will start sending it to the phone but then i get
sending zip
okay
<bootloader> signature checking

to unlock your phone again use the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" (the unlock_code.bin you got from HTCdev the first time.

I would flash firmware 2.24.401.8 from vomer's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
and yes, change CID back to bell.
Hopefully your unlock code will work then :fingers-crossed:

Installing updates on stock rom with unlocked bootloader and root

So, not 12 hours after getting my HTC one a few months ago, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I used this method: http://dottech.org/103429/how-to-ro...ader-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-guide/
I knew I wouldn't get OTA updates, but figured I could flash updates via stock recovery. Apparently I can't. I get an error every time, so essentially I have no options to update. I have also noticed that there are a few little bugs that are quite annoying. So, my question is: Has anyone managed to either unroot and relock the bootloader in order to install updates? Or is there a method I can use to update my One with the latest HTC provided update? I made no changes to the phone aside from unlocking the bootloader and rooting. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this phone, but as we all know, having the latest update is a huge part of why we make changes to our phone. And with the 4.2.2 update arriving soon, I would really like to have an option of keeping my One always up to date.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, after tampering the phone and even flashing the stock recovery gives a red triangle suring flashing ota updates.... I spent 2 days on it...
Get s off.... Flash the appropriate RUU for your phone, and let the OTA install itself by checking software updates in setting- about....
This will definitely work....

Thanks Mathrania, but if you don't mind I have a few questions. 1. Is there any way to get s-off without using an adb shell? If so, can you point me to a link that has the instructions? 2. Where do I find the RUU for m7ul? No idea where to get that. I assume once i find it I can flash it using recovery? Your help appreciated man.

Yes there is, a saw somewhere... But i need to find it.... The title of the thread is s off without pc or something like that.... But i am outside rightnow.. Once i reach my place, i can point that out.... And why not abd????
Also, do fastboot getvar all, and post the screenshot here, just remove ur IMEI and serial from there(blackout that)... I will tell u about ur ruu too.

Ok, I managed to get s-off using terminal emulator. Much easier. Now, I just gotta find the RUU. To be honest, I am not sure how to do the fastboot getvar all or what you need in a screenshot. Let me know and I'll provide it.

Boot into bootloader, connect usb cable, slect fastboot..... Now on ur PC, open the folder containing your fastboot files ( hope u have knowledge about that... You can find the fastboot files in the hasoon all in one toolkit as well.... In that folder, Shift + right click... Select open command window here...
Then in command window, type fastboot getvar all.... Copy paste the results to me.

Thanks Agry English. Managed to get it done using the emulator method yesterday. Was much simpler. Not a fan of adb shells. Never was very good at cmd. All I need now is the RUU for my version and i should be good to go.

yeah i noticed when i read firther down the post, i did mine teh same way, but adb isnt all that bad to be honest, i used it to change the MID, looks daunting but as long as you do exactly was is in the guides it will be fine, no RUU for my version so had to make it something else
well my friend, i tried to find your original RUU, but what I am getting is the link to just an OTA...not the RUU which is required to revert you to stock...anyways..
Did you relock the bootloader??? Relock and try to flash the OTA ...it should work... you can do this while being s-off...no issues...
ALright, so I guess I need to relock the bootloader. I assume this will also mean unrooting? Not entirely sure what the easiest way to relock the bootloader is. Any suggestions?
Now, out of curiosity, is there a root method that I can use after updating that will allow me to continue getting updates without having to go through this every time?

While you are s-off, you can relock you bootloader via a simple command....and to be frank i dont remember it, but you can see that command in S-off Revone Thread...its very simple.....you will have to do that via terminal emulator as you are not an ADB guy ...also unrooting the phone, you can see some vidoe guides out there in the stickies...
but i am not sure, may be relocking itself will take away your root access... just try posting this question in the s-off thread to get an expert answer....
Alright! S-off, bootloader relocked. Gonna try the update. Wish me luck. And thanks so much for your help Math. I'll let everyone know how it went for future reference.

Dammit. Still no luck. I'm getting the same error I used to get even before all this when i try to install an OTA. At first it won't verify the signature, but when i push it via CMW anyway, it starts and hangs on "running bug_fix_1" and that's it. No go. So all, this for nothing. Any chance anyone's come across this issue and has a solution? I'd love to get the update. There are a few bugs that really piss me off.

No, I'm using CWM. I assume that's the issue? Not even sure where to get the stock recovery for my firmware. I downloaded one, but I'm not sure it's right and am hesitant about flashing it.

OK, that makes sense. Sorry about the confusion. Not sure why I said stock recovery. Didn't even realize I did until you mentioned it. So, I'll try to flash stock rec and try again, otherwise, I'll just unroot and see if I can factory reset and start over. THanks again for your help.

[Q] I hope I have't bricked my Sprint HTC One

It all started when I rebooted my phone one day. My phone loaded up the lock screen with google voice. I could say the pin but could never get my phone unlocked. The keyboard button didn't work. So rather than just bootloader/factory resetting my phone, i decided i might as well unlock it and give myself root and flash a rom and try it out. I am an experienced EVO 4G user and have flashed many a rom. I did not have any problems unlocking the phone, flashing the TWRP recovery, applying su, or flashing the rom. I flashed the rootbox rom. It worked just fine. I then decided I was going to try a different rom out. I was not aware that there were roms that would cause problems... the non-sprint roms. I then tried to flash several non-sprint roms. None of the worked and eventually my phone would only boot up into the bootloader. I was able to successfully fastboot flash the TWRP recovery back onto my phone. I tried then to load in a sprint rom. Apparently I had messed up my radios, file structure and possibly other stuff, as no rom would work at that point. After much research, I found I needed to apply the RUU to get my phone back into "sprint" mode with the correct radios and file structure. I have been trying for hours now to do just that. I have tried all the methods listed on xda. The current condition of my phone: Will boot only into bootloader, will not boot into recovery although i think the TWRP recovery is still on my phone. I have the tampered, relocked, and security warning messages at the top of my phone. I am still s-on. I cannot get s-off as I have no accessible os on the phone to use the adb commands. I do have fastboot access. I have tried to fastboot flash the ruu and I get failed messages either <remote: 12 signature verify fail> or <remote: 43 main version check fail>
Any/All advice recommendations are welcome. If there is a thread about fixing bricked phones or tools to load RUU, I have tried them to no avail.
Thanks
Have you tried running the RUU from your PC? It would also help to know if you are on 1.29 or 1.31.

I am on 1.31. I have tried running the RUU from my PC and I got error 140. I tried looking that up and could not find any solutions to that. I figured it was because I am on 1.31 and not 1.29 and I still had s-on. That is when I tried to get s-off so that I could apply the 1.29. Is it possible to open a fastboot shell? I was going to try to push the revone files to the phone via fastboot and then run the commands via fastboot, but didn't get around to trying that out last night.

Congrats on getting phone back up. I recommend you stay away from flashing Roms that are not for Sprint but I think you learned that part first hand already.

Can i boot like normal now? Should i flash a rom at this point? i'm kinda still wearing the kid gloves...

Did Indirect get you S-OFF? If not you need to unlock your bootloader again then re-flash TWRP or CWM then you can flash a rom. Any questions shoot me a PM

We did not get to s-off. I am still s-on. the way I understand it is that basically I am back at square one... only I can use the fastboot command to unlock the bootloader, I don't need to go to the HTC website. and once i put a recovery on i can load any SPRINT ROM i want.
i'll do my best to be good this time

The key is knowing what fastboot commands to use and in which order. I had gotten stuck and gotten some of them out of order. I'd be willing to help you out like indirect did for me. If you PM me your teamviewer information i can help you out.

I got him fixed up

Helpless, cant flash, push or load anything M7

hello, before explaining what´s going wrong ill tell what ive done and why.
I had JB 4.2.2 / Ruu 2.24.401.8 / HB 1.54 on my M7 and yesterday the new update to 4.3 rolled out so i wanted to update it, but unfortunately i had a rooted and unlocked stock rom so i couldn´t update. tried a lot and flashed a new rom> bricked > guru reset till i was back at the beginning.
So i found a tutorial where i had to relock and flash the Firmware.zip from the OTA -> so far so good but, everything worked fine in fastboot, flashed the new firmware and i was ready to UNLOCK the M7.
Here starts my hopeless struggle..the phone is still RELOCKED, i cant flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP because it fails to connect or i get a verification error, i tried to flash the Firmware from OTA 4.2.2 but no chance.
I have no Idea what i could try next to restore it.
PLESE help me!
by the way, i noticed that the version changed from 2.24.401.8 / HB 1.54 to 3.62.401.1/ HB 1.55
if the phone still says relocked you need to unlock the bootloader again did u do that if u want to flash custom recovery agin i would take the imei number and that out of the thing you put up if i was you?

[Q] HTC One update with unlocked SIM

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:

The RUU which you have to download and flash is:

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!

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.

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

no problem, i was just pointing out that we can't follow your progress if there are multiple posts around.
So now you are able to go to CWM recovery? then just flash the Guru Reset ROM mentioned earlier (can't remember if it was in this thread or the other), and select stock recovery in the installer so you can receive OTAs.

you're not understanding my point, you're randomly posting onto different threads which may or may not have the same problem (i'm leaning towards not the same problem)
and i'm not the only one you should be "talking to", both @alray and @bored_stupid have already been helping you, but you can't expect everybody to always be online. we all are in different timezones, and may have other things to do to; for example i have to sign off for a while...
So my recommendation is: open a new thread in Q&A with all the necessary information, and we'll try to help.
xda is a community, it's not about one person, it's about the group... and there are many friendly people here trying to help each other out :good:

it will be gone once you flash the Guru Reset ROM (Guru Reset ROM includes stock recovery)... you cannot "delete" a recovery, only replace it.
