Is the phone 100% stock? If you've made ANY changes, no matter how small, it won't flash

I would flash a stock unrooted rom, but whatever you do make sure that the hboot is correct, and recovery if stock is required, match the build version of the 4.2.2 rom you're running.

I have no idea how to do that. Can I still leave the Mid as HTC_Y13 instead of the one that was before which is HTC_001?

If you are returning your phone for service then you can run an RUU if your phone has one.
It will reset everything back to stock, even the firmware. Check here:

If your s-off then a RUU can downgrade your firmware. (I did this on a phone I returned for service without issues) If you are still s-on I don't think it will.
You just download the RUU.exe and run it on your PC and it guides you through resetting everything on the phone.

thank you very much,i'll try it.if there aren't my ruus of region,I use other region ruu,can I get warranty?
That depends on the carrier/vendor. If you don't have a RUU you could also run an RUU for another area (Since your S-off) to downgrade the firmware and then root it and use one of the posted stock nandroids to restore to your proper areas stock config. Then do the stuff to re-lock your bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497

I can back to stock rom,but firmware version can't change,because there aren't ruu of HongKong,any ideas to change firmware version?
Since your S-off you can change your CID to use another RUU like this one:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...14325013-1033115001-release-311678-signedexe/
The RUU will set the device firmware back to stock. Then restore your stock ROM and you should be ok.
Also if you have it stock rom and setup now, you may just want to put S-on so that it says Locked and S-on on bootloader and your vendor will probably not care about the firmware version.

The red warning in hboot is from being unlocked. Once you have back to stock (especially recovery) then the red warning will be gone. For sure after re-locking.

how can I backup stock recovery?
because there are not ruu of HK,so I should use TWRP to restore nandroid backup from HK htc one. then back to stock recovery .
Yes you would TWRP to restore and then flash the stock recovery and relock.
Here is a post where I helped another and it has the stock recovery and instructions for flashing if needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43625746&postcount=17
Just an FYI that this method will not downgrade the firmware, but just get you back to locked and a stock look, but with the newer firmware.
Let me know if you need something else.
hi there,
I'm on stock rooted 4.2.1 with cwm recovery and trying to get the 4.2.2 ota.
It can't be updated cause I don't have the stock recovery.
I have seen failed recovery reboots cause of the wrong cid of the stock recovery, so i guess flashing the stock recovery is not an option?
My cid is HTC_E11, and for as far as i know there is not an RUU for this one.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance:good:

There is a nandroid backup for the HTC__E11 (Dutch) CID here http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1864-m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc-e11-12940112/ on this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874.

If you do S-Off on 4.1.2 it will stay S-Off even after the update to 4.2.2. You will always be able to revert to 4.1.2 with a RUU.
Is it necessary to s-off for installing custom roms? is it more safe to install the roms and kernels like we do in one-x?

no its not necessary to S-OFF for installing custom ROMs, all you need is unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP/CWM):good:
and yes its totally safe to install roms and kernels without PC unlike on One X :laugh:
just flash 'em from recovery
The only benefit to S-OFF is you have a get out to get back to stock if you need to as you can flash one of the early RUUs that leaked. If HTC released RUUs to the public there would be no need to have S-OFF unless changing the splash screen is important to you

S-OFF is needed I think if you want to change HBOOT or downgrade OS versions for ex from 4.2.2 to 4.2.1, but how about correct CID and S-ON again?

So without S-OFF, I can't go back to stock ROM after installing custom ROM, right?
What about before installing a custom ROM, I create a backup with TWRP, can I use this backup to return to stock?

Yes. You would only need s-off if an ruu isn't available for your cid.

If you have to ask then no....
S-OFF often introduces more problems then it's worth, especially when your not very experienced. It is a great tool to fix stuff when you really screw up, but it also allows a lot more control then most people can handle. If you so S-OFF then just remember to never S-ON unless you are already back 100% stock.

Anyway if you are on the HBOOT 1.54 you wont be able to S-OFF...

You will be able to go back to stock if you can get hold of the original recovery as well as using your backup (for the love of God make a backup!!!). S-OFF means you can use one of the rare publicly-leaked RUUs to get back to stock

Sorry, not sure if i understand your information correctly.
What do you mean by 'get hold of the original recovery'?
If I backup stock ROM using TWRP and when I want to go back to stock, can I just restore my backup without a use of RUU?

Yes but you wouldn't be able to install OTA updates without the original recovery image
so only if u want ruu u do s-off otherwise no reason......
S-OFF allows you to flash an RUU earlier than your current build, e.g. I can flash the 1.28.401.7 on top of my current 2.24.401.8 whereas without S-OFF I wouldn't be able to
but if a new rom came with new built u can install that, who needs s-off then?
As I originally said, you don't need S-OFF if you have no need to go back to stock. If you need to send the phone to HTC for repair, having S-OFF means you can get the phone back to 100% stock and showing 'locked' as opposed to 'relocked' so they won't know you've ever done anything to the phone.
Otherwise you're taking a chance on HTC refusing the repair

You can install stock Rom whether the phone is s-on or s-off as long as it's the same as the current firmware or newer

Yes, but it won't really *really* be stock unless it's stock for your region. And you can only do that if you can find a RUU for your phone (matching CID).
Hi everyone. I've got this odd problem with updating my HTC m7 to android L. I downloaded the file with 7.19.401.102 firmware number and then flashed the stock recovery from 6.09.401.111 stock ROM which I'm currently running on my phone. I started the installation and after some time the red triangle showed up and after restarting the update file was deleted... My phone is rooted with ElementalX kernel... Have I done something wrong? What should I do before updating(unrooting, going completely stock...)? Is this the right firmware for my phone?(my cid and mid are mid:711000 and cid: HTC__J15), if not, can someone tell me the correct firmware?
Can someone make a nand backup from 7.19.401.101 and upload it somewhere?
I'd appreciate any help... Thanks
