Hello everybody,
I am considering rooting my htc one, but I have a few questions about returning to stock and rooting before I do.
Edit: When I say I want to return to stock, I want to be able to receive and install ota updates from optus.
1. If I make a nandroid backup straight after I root the phone can this be used to return to stock if I reflash stock recovery or do I have to flash ruu?
2. Is there anything else I need to go back to stock if the above method does not work? Where can I find the optus ruu?
3. When rooting with the all in one toolkit, do I select att htc one or international htc one? I have a HTC One 801s that is locked to Optus in australia.
Thanks in advance, if I do root my htc one, I'll probably only be flashing roms if that matters. My phone is an australian HTC One 801s that is locked to Optus.
Anyone?

1: yes you can
2: to go completely stock, flash stock recovery (to receive OTA) and re-lock boot loader.
3: International (AT&T is US based)

How do I relock my bootloader?

Often you can get faster answers by searching.
Drop to fastboot on the phone and issue this command from your PC:
fastboot oem lock
You don't need to relock to install OTAs.
Sorry about that, I guess I was being a bit lazy. Thanks for all the help you guys gave me.

I unlocked my inc s bootloader using htcdev method. I then installed 4ext recovery and then the a custom rom. I now want to revert back to stock rom and re-unlock the bootloader. Am thinking of doing this. Please correct me if I am wrong.
1. Restore stock rom from nandroid backup.
2. Use htcdev relock method to get back to unlocked state.
My question is will the custom recovery create any problems. If so how do I get back stock recovery?

No the custom recovery will not cause any issues.
And once I restore stock rom and re unlock I can get the latest ics ota update?

Why do you need to re-lock? If you want to receive OTA update, you need to have stock recovery.

OK so going back to your original question, yes the custom recovery will cause you a problem with trying to receive the OTA update. It will let you download it, but will then tell you that you have a custom setup and won't let you install it.
i guess its more or less same case as mine
you can refer to my post before

Say CWM recovery was installed. Bootloader unlocked.
Phone won't boot
EE branded (UK)
Recovery works. What can he done to get it booting?
I can't see any EE branded RUU and the stock Euro one isn't restoring, I guess from the wrong CID
Flash a custom rom with ADB side load from recovery?
I guess there's no way to extract and manually flash stock ROM from RUU?
No Nandroid to revert to. Anyone have an EE nandroid they could share?

Are you stuck in a boot loop? tried clearing the cache in fastboot. You could try flashing it to a custom rom.

You should be able to sideload a rom via adb and flash it through recovery. The phones4u phones are unbranded.

this might help but your phone will always have relocked in recovery or did you backup your stock rom if so just flash that

Thanks for the link
I am going to do the following
Wipe in recovery
Flash stock rom from that link
Flash recovery from that link
Relock bootloader with hasoon2000 toolkit
Is this correct?
I relocked bootloader and flashed a ruu, seemed to work

You can't update via OTA if you have a custom recovery and rom, you need to go back to stock if you want to do so
I agree with the first reply. Just return it. I completely bricked my first One and took it back to Best Buy. They didn't even turn it on. They just made sure there wasn't a rock in there instead of the phone. LOL
You're good. Just do it. :good:

Gotcha. Can you just flash the stock ROM from here?

If not there, copy the RUU and run from inside TWRP?

OK so now I have an OTA update available for my HTC One. When I try to update it takes me to my custom Recovery TWRP. Will this help me to obtain stock status? Also what is the next step after booting into TWRP?? Sorry I am a noob to this but I can hold my own with good instructions. TIA!!

I don't believe the OTA update is going to help you at all. Here's what I would do. The factory RUU (ROM Update Utility) that HTC provides is an executable that you run from your Windows PC (XP preferred). You don't have to load it to the phone - your phone just has to be connected.
A couple questions before we begin:
1 - Which phone did you get? DEV 64 - AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile?
2 - Do you want to save anything on that phone?
If no to 2, just continue. But if you want to save anything you'll need to use either Titanium Backup or Go Backup & Restore Pro (my favorite). Back up to the cloud or copy your backed up items off your phone if you wish to keep them because you're about to wipe it clean.
You can find the RUU for the DEV unit here - http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You may need to register at htcdev.com to access this page. But here you'll find a list of downloads - some are CRC (kernel source code) and one is RUU (WWE stands for World Wide Edition). Download that to your PC.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I would boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset my phone. This will erase anything that you have on it. I'd also wipe the cache and davlik.
Next once the RUU is downloaded and you're sure you've backed up EVERYTHING you want to keep, double click on the RUU. It should be cake from there. It'll restore your One back to factory standards and you should be able to send this puppy back.:highfive:

Also, if you bought the unlocked version from HTC like I did then you're fine with having it factory unlocked with an unlocked bootloader. You don't need to re-lock that.
By the way, here's a graphic of the file you'll want to download and run on your computer when you're ready to restore the phone.

I bought the 32gb unlocked international version. No carrier or DEV edition. Do these instructions still apply?
THANKS!

Ok, I don't think so. Sorry. The RUU appears to be for the Dev edition only. That was the mistake I made and I completely hosed my previous phone. I see the one that you bought here: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41589
Until HTC releases an RUU for that device we can't go that route.
The only other route would be to flash the stock ROM to your phone at the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
Follow the instructions. You'll end up adb flashing the stock boot.img and stock recovery back to your phone. Those files are discussed in the first post.
It's a little more work, but this is the kind of stuff that I love staying up late for. Good luck and sorry we couldn't do it with an RUU.
:fingers-crossed:
Let us know how you make out with this.

So I successfully flashed ARHD 9.2 and it is running flawless...oh and BTW, after buying my wife the SGS4 and playing with it, I decided to keep my HTC One...way better performance with 0 lag...using optimized stock ROM...Thanks guys.:good:
Hey guys I am trying to take my HTC One back to at&t stock. I found a Cingular RUU, but can't get it to work. I tried using adb locking the bootloader and then running the RUU, but it doesn't seem to work.
Is this the correct RUU or should I be looking for another, I thought AT&T/Cingular were the same thing. I remember seeing a post about an AT&T RUU, but I just can't find it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
First of all you will need to relock your. Bootloader and. Have stock recovery
