[Q] Get completely back to stock for repair

Hi,
i need to get back to stock after i did
- S-OFF via revone (without unlocking via htcdev)
- Flash TWRP recovery
- Did a NANDROID of the stock rom
- Install ViperOne ROM
Originalbuild:
1.29.401.16 CL177101 release-keys
I think there are 2 options:
1) Run a RUU
2) Restore stock rom via RWRP and flash original recovery, then S-ON via revone
Is this right? What shall i do best?
And where do i get the stock recovery for 2)
And the 1.29 RUU WWE Europe is not available, can i just run the way older one and then OTA to 1.29?
Thank you very much!
Regards
Daniel

Backup data you want to keep

Flash it
S-ON
Send to HTC

You mean this one
"RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe"
?
Is it possible to flash an older RUU when a newer version is installed at the moment?
S-ON is done with the RUU? Or do i need to do this seperately?
Then just OTA to get 1.29 (which they delivered)?

Yep, that one. With S-OFF you can flash an older RUU as it doesn't check the current mainver on the device. Once you have flashed the RUU and confirmed it's working you can then set the CID back to HTC__001 (if you changed it to Super CID) and then back to S-ON and you're good to go!

Tampered should not appear when i did not unlock via htcdev i thought?
Where do i find the traces of revone?

Hi,
here is my report of getting back to stock:
1) Flashed latest available RUU
2) Updated via OTA but did not get the absolute latest software (which was on the device before)
3) pushed revone to the device and locked it again
4) wrote secureflag 3 for s-on
5) deleted revone from /data/local/tmp (!!!)
6) flashed the latest OTA via fastboot manually (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42924796)
Done
Worked like a charm
Thanks guys! Thanks revone Team!

[Q] Need help. Relocked and S-On GPE. Cannot unlock it and can't boot.

Hey guys. I was trying to install a ROM, but when I installed TWRP I was put into a bootloop. Now, I have managed to get myself into a bad pickle. I have S-On and my bootloader is relocked. I cannot get fastboot oem unlock to work so I'm pretty limited. I need large amounts of help now. Thanks guys.

As long as TWRP still works your not totally screwed, flash a rom and get s-off again and use the GURU bootloader tool to unlock, don't try and flash a RUU or firmware with stock recovery that will really be the end

[Q] Is it necessary for my m7 to be S-Off before I can flash the latest ViperOne Rom?

My m7 is rooted and has the bootloader unlocked already. But it's still S-On and running hboot version 1.57. I'm worried that flashing the latest ViperOne ROM that has hboot version 1.54 will brick it. So I'm wondering if it is needed for my m7 to be s-off before i can flash the ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Rom's don't have a hboot
all that's important is you have TWRP Recovery v2.6.3.3 or up and your on a M7_u or M7_UL
S-off is always good but your already hboot 1.57 so it might be a challenge

no, older recovery's have problems with the newer Rom's
update to TWRP

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Okay I've flashed Twrp v2.7.1.0. Now all I do is to flash the ROM itself right?

You can flash it. But as people have said twrp 2.6.3.3 is the best version to use. You can try the latest. If Rom won't boot flash the above recovery version

I double checked my fastboot connection, every thing seems to be working just fine.
Everytime i try to run it it get stuck at checking headers (5%)

It does actually work, just seems very sensitive to OS, USB ports, drivers, (possibly even locale), etc.
Recommend you use a plain vanilla Win7 PC with USB2 port.

I had this exact problem trying to go back from 5.11.401.10. When i extracted the rom.zip, fastboot came back with remote: 02 data length is too large.
I had already unlocked with HTCDev, flashed TWRP and s-off. i just wanted a stock ruu to go back to sense 5.5. In the end, i found TeHashX has created a twrp flash here: Link I flashed that without root, with radio and recovery and I'm back to stock. You'll probably need to be s-off for this but I'm not sure. I kept s-off and the unlocked bootloader.
Ps. You can remove the tampered with a rooted rom in the process.

I have also been unable to use any of the 4.xx RUU... They worked once but none of them work now. Anyway I just wanted to say I also created a Guru Reset for the 5.21.502.2 (AT&T) here >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274 to go along with the files posted by @TeHashX

The only thing i can think of was the hboot prevents it now but i wasnt going to play with that. I personally went to 4.xx to get away from sense 6

Is there any other maybe older stock ROM i can try ?

I tried 1.29.401.x and that failed too. There was a note with the download saying you need to flash hboot 1.44 which i didn't bother with.

I need help getting custom ROM to work!!!!

How come Android Revolution ROMs keep putting my phone into a bootloop? It makes my phone boot into TWRP Recovery. I have tried both Android Revolution HD 90.1 ( (Android 5.0.2 Lollipop + HTC Sense 6.0) and the stock HTC system dump (Android 5.0.2 + HTC Sense 6.0 | Latest: 7.15.401.1) without success. I just want to know why!

If you flash in twrp you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot in order to boot because your s-on. And also what you are running I believe are gsm based roms. In which case they will never boot.

ARHD is not compatible with Sprint.
By flashing it your partitions are messed up now.
You will need to RUU to fix and stay in the Sprint section when choosing a rom.

Yep says it several times in the OP.

I can't seem to get any other ROM to boot except CyanogenMod and LiquidSmooth. CM is completely stable while the latest version of LS is a bit buggy. They both absolutely refuse to acceept any APN settings. I am using Ting's service right now and I can't use it on these ROMs.... I tried flashing several stock Sprint ROMs for the HTC Onr M7 and none of them will boot. They'll boot if I flash the boot.img like someone here suggested but it doesn't help. It will go to the desktop, however, the screen is completely black. Is there anyway to flash a stock ROM properly? RUU's don't work either.

Hello guys,
Gurren Lagann is your HTC M7 GSM or CDMA?
Mine is GSM and I'd like to update it to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
Thanks in advance.

My HTC One is CDMA (Sprint).
First try updating by going to Settings ---> About ---> Software Updates. If that doesn't work try the following:
This Lollipop update process is ONLY for the Sprint HTC One M7.
First flash the firmware via Fastboot: 6.16.651.2_firmware.zip >>> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934523626
And then install the RUU for 6.16.651.2 via Bootloader RUU Menu:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_414036_signed_2.exe
If you don't know how to do these things, then you shouldn't attempt to. You could end up hard-bricking your phone.

Hello again,
I have some experience using fastboot. The thing is that my HTC M7 originally was Sprint CDMA but the person I bought it from he assured me that he unlocked the GSM.

I guess my HTC M7 is similiar to yours, but I want to be sure before flashing it. I have a backup already just in case.
Thanks a lot.

Your phone is for sprint as it says m7wls you can use gsm service perhaps since you say its unlocked meaning Sim unlock always look for Roms that are m7spr or M7wls based I also suggest s-off so you don't have any complications with flashing

It has been a little bit difficult to S-off my HTC, since it has Hboot 1.57. So far I've tried Revone and Rum Runner without success.
Firewater seems to be down and I'm tempted to pay for SunShine, but I'm not really sure about paying for an application that might not work.
My HTC originally came with Android 4.4.2 and I got a notification to upgrade to lollipop via OTA, but I was suggested to make a backup just in case. So I had to root my phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP in order to get my system backup, but due to the previous procedures I can no longer upgrade to lollipop.
Right now all I want is to follow my original plan by installing a stock rom and try to update to lollipop via OTA.
You kindly suggested me to s-off my cellphone, but I've seen some videos on youtube in which they install stock roms with s-on:

Never mind guys
Finally I upgraded my HTC to Lollipop.
I freaked out because it didn't boot up after flashing RUU.zip
I decided to go out for dinner and come back and try as many times as needed. Fortunately I realized that I misspelled the command fastboot reboot-bootloader I had forgotten to type the hyphen. Then I reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my pc, tried another usb port and used the RUU.exe. Now my HTC M7 seems to be working perfectly
Thank you very much guys.
