Hey guys,
Playing around with this stuff today for the first time.
I unlocked the bootloader, got a custom ROM on there and everything, but now i can't seem to install any other ROMs without going to S-OFF which i don't feel confident in doing yet.
So i want to restore my phone back to the stock telstra ROM, but i'm having trouble doing it.
I relocked the bootloader and ran the RUU (RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Telstra_WWE_3.25.841.4_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_246698_signed)
But the RUU only allows me to update and if i choose that it just fails completely.
I'm worried i've gotten my phone stuck on this custom rom i don't want.
what do i do?
really sorry for starting a new thread but i've been searching like crazy and i have not found anything like what i have to deal with.
So the phone WAS a stock rogers Raider, sim unlocked when i bought it. Everything was okay until i started messing around with it.
What has happened to the phone:
I used hasoon's kit to unlock the bootloader and gain root access, along with rom manager and cwm because i wanted to download an ics rom for my phone. well the VERY NEXT DAY the stock ota update for ics came out for my phone, and when i tried to update it the official way it would get stuck on the htc screen until my battery completely died beyond repair, so 2 weeks later when the new battery came in the mail, i was still rooted and on 2.3. I learned after that the ota updates do not work on my rooted phone for some reason, so i tried to install an ics rom through clockworkmod recovery, and now when i try to boot my phone it gets stuck at the htc screen and doesnt do anything more, but using power and vol. UP i can still access hboot, which says "unlocked with s-on" ive tried to hit "factory reset" but it still wont boot.
If possible, what i would like to do to the phone:
Completely restore the phone to stock, locked bootloader, unrooted, and to a stock gingerbread so i can install the ota ice cream sandwich update.
I know i'm asking for a ton of help but please hear me out, im honestly getting depressed because of this darn phone.
Also, please use words as simple as you can because im really not the type of person who shouldve even started with all this stuff!

Use the guide in my signature. It's step 6. Basically what it entails is relocking the bootloader (an OTA, RUU, PH zip all won't work with an unlocked bootloader), then running the Rogers ICS RUU for your device (the link for that is in the guide). The RUU does the same thing as the OTA. That's the easiest way to do it. No need to mess around with going back to stock GB and all that. You can go straight to stock ICS if you re-lock your bootloader and run the ICS RUU.

You need to read before you jump the gun and mess around
First of all you can't be rooted and you can't have an unlocked bootloader for official updates/ruus
Second you can't flash ics unless you are s off and get an ics hboot
Here's the fix,
1) download the ruu from HTC website...I can try and find a link later
2) boot into hboot then fastboot
3) run the tool kit and use the relock bootloader option
4) if your phone reboots just go back to fastboot
5) if your bootloader now says relocked then just run the ruu
Ruu is official update done through a computer

Thank you both for your replies, i absolutely agree i really regret doing this, a link would be greatly appreciated too. and i just relocked my bootloader and it says "relocked security warning" so i guess its relocked, and finally how would i run the ruu? Im really sorry for being so clueless
The ICS Rogers RUU is here. Just boot into hboot and run it on your computer.

okay thanks so much, it always says "All free download slots are in use" which is strange because it only says that when i try to download the rogers ruu. i guess i just have to wait.
*update*
okay one more annoying question i promise. if i download gingerbread ruu from hotfile, i cant post the link but from another thread it works, and by doing what you said, hboot, plugin to computer and run the .exe, can i then upgrade to 4.0 by using the ota?
When i re-locked my bootloader, to confirm i went into h-boot, and it should say "Re locked bootloader".
But follow slapshot guide to the tee and you'll be good.

I have had a Tmo HTC One since the day they came out. I rooted it, S-Off'd, Super CID, updated firmware and was running ARHD. Well the microphone stopped workng after a small drop and I had to have the phone replaced via Asurion insurance. I tried the warranty route, but I could not get the phone back to 100% stock and did not want to get screwed sending back an unlocked phone.
I just got my insurance supplied phone (I updated to the the 4.3 OTA from Tmo first thing) and being the glutton for punishment, I want to at least root it again and would love to run ARHD 30.x. In case of another warranty situation, I would like to make a backup of the phone in its stock state (recovery, ROM, etc...) and burn it to a DVD and put it away for safe keeping. Is this even possible? I cannot begin tell you how long I spent trying to get my original phone back to stock. I tried every tool, ROM and RUU and no luck. My understanding was because I updated the firmware and cold not go back down to a lower firmware and then I somehow relocked the bootloader and S-On'd and really screwed thing up.
The old phone is gone and is in the past, so whatever I did wrong doesn't matter. I just do not want to do it again this time around and anything I can do to create a safety net for the future, I will gladly do. My phone is completly stock running the Tmo 4.3 with 3.24 firmware.
What are my options?
fastboot boot recovery.img
But it stopped working after hboot 1.44, I dunno if it works on 1.55.
Otherwise you'll need to flash the recovery and find a stock recovery from eleswhere.
Hi, I'm new here. I need help restoring my HTC One back to the stock ROM. It is with virgin mobile in Canada. I'm trying to unlock my phone from virgin but having trouble and figure it can be from being on a stock ROM.
I have been reading for about an hour and searching for the stock RUU. Before I forget, I'm running OMNI ROM on android 4.4.2 and have CWM recovery installed.
Anyways back to topic. I couldn't find any RUU's for my device but read on here that you can restore using a nandroid backup if you can find one. Now me and my brother both got an HTC One at the same time but I went through so many ROMs and customizing it. I started with CWM and made a back up of the stock rom but kept getting errors with some ROMs so switched to TWRP and couldn't use it anymore. With android 4.4 I needed to go back to CWM but in some point when tesering ROMs I only had 3GB free of space so did a wipe and fresh install so I don't think that the original back up is still there somewhere.
Anyways. I have my brothers HTC One here and that's stock. Nothing modified what so ever. Can I make a nandroid back up or use a tool to extract the firmware from his phone and somehow use it to restore my phone back to stock, unroot, relock boot loader and get rid of the *tampered* flag in fast boot?
The phones still on contract, only had it for like 4 months and thinking of giving it back and getting an upgrade to the One Max or when the One 2 comes out but I don't think Virgin mobile will allow me to since the phones been tampered with.
Hi. I have created a Canadian stock thread. See of it helps. It is linked in my signature
Hi there,
I am using the Htc One M7 for At&t. I decided to root it and everything went good. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed a custom recovery and had the Xsense module installed and I loved it. I decided to try out cyanongen and if I didn't like it I would go back to stock. That doesn't quite work that way, needless to say. I ended up without a Rom and stuck on the bootloader. After countless hours of troubleshooting I found a stock htc rom and stock recovery, however now my problem is I can't seem to update my OS to the latest version, 4.4.3, which is what I had before all this. I've read it is because of the phone being unlocked. So I lock it and it boots to bootloader saying tampered relocked and Security Warning. I do more countless hours of research and find a few programs to make my phone S-off. Revone does not work. Firewater does not work and Rumrunner fails. I believe it is because the h boot is 1.57. My question now is do I just go sit in a corner and start crying or is their something im missing or not doing right? My phone is rooted, I just want to go back to stock.
