Restore htc one to bone stock - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I've looked through some threads on the forums. I found plenty with "restoring htc one" in the title, but my circumstances are weird. I have a t mobile htc one I use in the USA. Recently, I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev, all went well. I used a video tutorial on youtube and followed along to root it. I installed twrp recovery and was about to install supersu, that's when things got weird. When I tried navigating to the supersu.zip file via recovery menu, all I see (up a level). After clicking that, I am taken to files like cache, data, dev, and so on. Nothing related to the files on my internal sd card. I didn't see supersu.zip either. So here I am, with a phone that has an unocked bootloader, twrp recovery and no root access. Ever since I did this, my signal has been randomly dropping and I can't get lte speeds anymore. What happened here?
I was wondering if anyone knew a tutorial that will restore my phone back to stock. I don't mean just stock firmware, I mean absolutely factory bone stock. No recovery, android 4.1.2. htc sense, the whole bit. I know I could just use one of the tutorials available in one of the threads I found, but every single one of them is related to a rooted phone, and mine is sort of in between. I don't want to risk bricking it or anything like that.
If you've made it this far into the read, congratulations you are better than 95% of the people I know. If anyone has a link to a tutorial like this, and it works exactly how I asked it to, I will send them $10 via paypal.

Try plugging your phone into your PC, and in the files you can see, like Music, Movies etc, make a folder called Super and put the zip in there, see if once you go to recovery you can now find it, because to browse root don't you have to have SuperSU anyways?
I am new to this but idk, figured I would atleast try.

I don't think there are some videos about this, however.
If you will fully restore your HTC One, you've to go S-OFF (with revone o rumrunners method) and flash a ruu for T-Mob.
However, you can always root your device.
Probably you have to navigate to "sdcard" in the screen of install of TWRP and after select supersu.zip or whichever

Tried navigating to sdcard, but the folder is just empty. Also, it says internal storage memory: 0mb

Try to use the command:
Code:
adb push name_of_su.zip /sdcard/
and
Code:
adb push name_of_su.zip /data/media
and check if you can see the file or if you got an error.
p.s. You've to use a prompt where you have adb/fastboot and the file will be in this folder...

Im a bit of a noob, could u write out the steps? Because im sure ill screw something up lol

I know, my house is a little messy right now. We're moving stuff around to replace the floors so my computer and desk and stuff is all over the place.

Update: I fixed it. It turns out it was easier than I thought. All I had to do was fastboot OEM lock the bootloader, and then install the T Mobile RUU file. Who knew it was that simple?

[Q] Rooting today

Finally ready to root my phone, decided I am ready for some extra features and roms. Few concerns
1. The biggest one is how are so many people deleting there entire storage? Is it simple to do? I just don't want to make the mistake
2. Debating between aio or using adb commands just to know how to do it.
3. Never used aroma...how user friendly is it?
This isn't my first time, started rooting on my G1, but I just cannot get Linux down and been on Samsung for a while
Thank you been reading htc one threads and just trying to do it right and not need to use your guys amazing troubleshooting
I followed the information used here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244060
Unlocking the bootloader did, sadly, reset my phone to factory default, erasing my music, downloaded apps, custom ringtones & such. There may be a way to prevent that, but I didn't look into it too much prior to rooting. Plus, I had the music and ringones backed up to my PC. Anyway, the instructions at the aforementioned link are quite thorough, and very easy to follow. I used adb and flashed TWRP; no Aroma involved. The whole process took me about 15 minutes, once I stopped trying to do it with my Windows 8 laptop (with USB 3.0) and used one with Windows 7 and a USB 2.0 port. Afterwards I flashed Tranquil One.
Not worried about losing stuff during unlock process, but seen a lot of people wiping everything later and having to use adb sideload or ruu.
Don't want to be the guy in a day asking for help because I messed up
But I do know not to load anything but sprint roms and kernels
Here's what I did, if it helps:
1. Downloaded and extracted the package in the link posted above.
2. Unlocked the bootloader.
3. Installed TWRP via adb, both of which were included in the extracted files from number 1.
4. Did a backup in TWRP, so I'd at least have a restore point as close to factory settings as possible. It'll come in handy if I have to take the phone in for service at some point. Just restore the image and re-lock bootloader.
5. Copied that backup to my PC.
6. Downloaded Tranquil One ROM, copied to my phone, did factory reset in TWRP & flashed the ROM.
Honestly, if you're even slightly comfortable doing this and you know how to follow instructions you shouldn't end up being "that guy" asking for help after the fact. The one way I can see it becoming more involved is if you're running Windows 8 and/or using USB 3.0. Drivers can be really irritating.
I think they fixed the windows 8 problem. I had no problems on it. Windows 8 reads this one but not my lte for some reason. But again no problems on the ONE.

[Q] HTC M7 Dev Edition *Factory Rom Lost*

Hey everyone new poster to the forums here . Have a question about loosing the stock ROM for my HTC M7 Dev edition. I made the backup but I think when I formatted I formatted more then I should have because when I pull up TWRP recovery mode to restore a backup nothing is listed in the window. However when I go into the internal storage in windows on my computer with the phone connected and look inside HTC One\Internal storage\TWRP\BACKUPS I found a folder called HT34GW9xxxxx and a sub directory with a date on it and it looks like the date that I did the flash in the first place. That folder also has 13 files in it equaling out to 4.25GB in size. So basically what I'm getting at is how come I can see this folder here but not in recovery and even if I could see it in recovery this seems like it's not large enough to be HTC Sense 5.0 according to this thread and the downloads attached to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248997&highlight=nandroid
Also speaking of that thread considering the original M7 Dev rom is gone can I use that thread to restore my phone even though I am using TWRP and not clockwork. I'm not the greatest at these type of things, I don't want to brick my phone, and I never have enough time invest in this stuff. If I knew this was going to happy I probably wouldn't have done it in the first place lol.
Thank you in advance and sorry if this has already been talked about, I did a search but I must have skipped over it if it was already out there :\.

Thank you for the help. A follow up question would be is there a place to get someone's previous backup and download it like the link I put up in the previous posts user did. I really don't want to lock the boot loader and I would love to just be able to easily get Cyanogenmod back on the phone easily. Reason being is that right now the Cm camera just isn't up to pay with the Sense camera software and if I go to an event like I am tonight I would like to be able to swap back and fourth.
TWRP and CWM backups aren't compatible with each other. You'd have to flash the relevant recovery to use a corresponding backup.
You still have your backup though. You said as much in your OP. You just need to go into TWRP settings and specify the default location for your backups.
As mentioned above however, you can just flash the official RUU to return to stock
Thanks a ton!
Just wanna say thanks to the both of you for your help. I went with option 2 for now because I want to switch back to CM after the Cardinals MLB game tonight. I never lost the backup and you were right I just had to find the folder. It was weird I didn't see any button to search for a folder kinda odd how TWRP is layer out in that interface. Yet I found the backed up file and took about 10 minutes from start to finish. The device is still unlocked to so I can reflash CM when I'm ready.
A little off topic but does anyone know what the difference between the GSM Cyanogenmod ROMs and the AT&T ROMs are? I have the Dev version but flashed the AT&T version and it ran fine made calls and had no data transfer issues at all.
Ok so I actually started having issues after that last post. What was happening was I kept getting this HTC system update my guess the Camera software update but whatever. So I clicked on the update now and it downloaded like normal then reboot. After it reboot it booted into TWRP recovery well at that point I didn't know what to do so I just went a head and rebooted into System. Well here is where the issue started it said again system update avalible ok great install, same deal it just booted back into TWRP after the download. Back into system I went and again same thing.
At this point I desided to go into TWRP and do a system restore and I thought that worked cause it wasn't notifying me immediately after the launcher loaded to install the update. So I checked for it manually and of course there was one. Tapped on Install it downloaded and asked to reboot so I did...
SAME ISSUE AHHHHGGG! Lol
This will be the end of me haha.
Is there something I'm missing here? Can I not have root access or a a third party boot loader like TWRP or both modifying the system. What am I missing?
Ok thanks again, sorry for the multiple posts I'm just so frustrated at this point.

This my very wild guess. Try flashing stock recovery first and then install the OTA update again. That's just my wild guess I'm not saying it will 100% work.
No luck

Nope no luck
Hopefully this helps..
What I did find was this link here...http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc...ml#post2827047 that's where someone else is having the same issue but on Sprint I'm guessing. So that doesn't really apply to me. However a poster further down the thread gave another link to all these "nandroid?" files. I'm not really sure what a nandroid is haha I'm such a noob at this. Basically what they are saying is that unrooting it then i guess somehow putting this "nandroid" file on it somehow. Anyone have any idea on this. I'm terribly sorry for my noobishness but I'm trying to learn all this and it's really frustrating at first..
Here's the link to the nandroid files. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2207874 funny thing is that I actually found that link on Android Central website so that I could come back here and repost about it again heh. Anyways does that look like something that might fix the issue that I'm having?
Even if this file does help I have no idea what to do with it but that first link seemed to have some video's attached to it although I worry about following them because it's for Sprint and I really don't want to brick my phone. (another reason I am being so careful) You pay over 600 dollars for a device you tend to be super careful with anything you do with it.

So basically if Anyone need to restore to factory from a mess they have made follow this guide it works perfectly and he does an execelent job of describing how to do it in a video he posted step by step.

[Q] where to proceed next? - i F'd up!

all,
it was with reckless abandon and blind/naive decisions that got me to this point. i will just lay it all out what ive done in the hopes one of you brilliant minds will lead me into the light. before i lay out the steps in which ridiculous choices led me to this conundrum, here is the question...
Where do i go from here to resolve the issue that i have and can get into bootloader (tampered/unlocked and in S-ON) but i have no operating system?
keep in mind that Ive probably and admittedly should not have been dabbling in things i had no business doing with the little to no proper due diligence...."i am awarded no points and may god have mercy on my soul!!!!!!!!!!!!"
1) i used the htc dev process to unlock my bootloader and it worked well.
2) i then proceeded to flash some custom recovery .img files via "fastboot flash recovery <insert filename here" and the .img at the end of course.
recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.4-m7 <---didnt take the first time or anytime. kept saying "entering recovery" but then the screen would go black, not boot into the recovery screen and then the phone would reboot as it would normally and go into stock OS
i then tried the following .img files below, all with the same result...
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-m7
openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7
recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.2-m7ul <<<---this was the only recovery .img file that would take so i then decided to play around with the options.
3) i then proceeded to make another ridiculous choice. under one of the options in clockwork recovery "classic" menus i went forth and selected the "wipe data/factory reset" option.
so what i have now is i believe a htc one sprint phone that has bootloader unlocked with what i believe is no OS. i hear on my computer the sound when it connects via "fastboot usb" but obviously the computer doesn't recognize it so i can copy and paste a zip file onto it.
i was looking at a few threads here and could really use some guidance/encouragement. the threads are

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 <<< the [RUU] sprint htc one 1.29.651.10 thread
what would be the best course of action for me to take? bear in mind that the end result would probably be obviously a working phone, probably stock or w/e seems best.
thank you for taking the time in reading my post. if you require any additional information, please ask. i am probably leaving out important pieces of info.

All you need to do is fastboot flash recovery a working recovery then check and see if adb works for you in recovery.
If it does then you can adb push a Rom to /sdcard and flash it in the recovery.

THANKS! i saw this thread earlier. ill take a look. ive at least watched wwjoshdew's video and i think that should work too. downloading the stuff now.
just tried wwjoshdew's directions. looks like i cant do the RUU 1.29xxxx. it goes through all the steps but at the end it says error because of the 1.31xxxx version i have already. i guess that means i have to wait until someone releases an RUU for 1.31.651.2
and if i am not sure if usb debugging mode ins enabled and i cant get back into normal bootup for the phone because i think i wiped my OS like stated in my first post. is my next step to do hansoon's AIO tool kit?

first off thats the wrong recovery, you want openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls.img (this is for sprint the m7 is international)2.6 has been giving some problems, don't know if they have it worked out yet, 2.5 is good, so

[Q] TWRP 2.6.4.0 installed on HTC One, mistakes may have been made; no ROM on SD card

Hello, everyone, I'm in a bit of a bind here.
I own an HTC One on Sprint's network and have decided tonight to finally root it. I unlocked the bootloader and successfully installed TWRP Recovery v.2.6.3.0. (downloaded from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls) I ran into a bit of an issue, though, when trying to install Paranoid Android (Which I had downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315236); it was saying it couldn't mount my sd card. Note that the HTC One doesn't have any external storage, so it meant the internal one. And it also said something along the lines of "some symlinks failed," my apologies that I can't be more specific.
Anyway, I had my phone all backed up (Important files such as photos, audio files have already been backed up with Dropbox, so no concern there) and I read that it was a problem with TWRP after version 2.3.3.0. So I tried to install that recovery, but it didn't stick. So I tried switching to Clockworkmod Recovery, which I downloaded from here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager. I scrolled down to HTC One (Sprint) and selected the classic 6.0.3.6.
All was well, I backed up again, until I tried to install PA again. I had the same basic issue. Long-story short, in between the switching recoveries, I had forgotten to restore my data before I switched recoveries, so I lost the backup and I'm 99% there is no OS on my phone at the moment.
I've heard that I can, using TWRP (which I flashed back to), sideload a ROM onto my phone to flash. I tried this, however it had be check that my device was attached by typing "adb devices" in the command prompt (open in the folder where adb.exe is), and no devices are listed.
It appears that there's a loading bar on my phone when i click ADB Sideload, and it says "Starting ADB sideload feature...", however, nothing seems to be happening.
Any help would be super greatly appreciated, and I'm sorry if I left out any information.
Rooting my old Moto Droid was easy, but something was bound to get messed up i guess
The first problem I see is the link for PA is not from the Sprint forum.
Sen me a PM i can get you fixed up
If he does t get you fixed all up I can help you out also but he is a smart one so I'd imagine he will get you up and going. Either way, possibly the greatest partial thread title ever... "Mistakes may have been made"
bigdaddy619 helped me considerably, thank you He got me back to basically having a new, store-bought phone. Which was much better than I had!
Just time to start over, I suppose, and not make any mistakes. I definitely was using a Paranoid Android for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and didn't realize it (Though my main mistake was flashing a new recovery before restoring my backup. Rookie mistake!)
Uh oh, well all you need to know is what I have always said is if you root, ALWAYS S-Off in order to undo your mistakes no matter what and that will almost always kep you safe.

[Q] HTC One Sprint M7WLS softbricked, don't know what else to do.

With the new 4.3 OTA I thought I might be good to delve into updating my phone today. That was around Noon, it's now 9PM, and I just don't know where else to turn. I know where I screwed up a few things and I feel like I've tried everything. Hopefully you guys will have some helpful suggestions, if not I guess I'll have to bite the bullet.
I'm a noob at rooting. I did root my HTC Evo Shift a year or two ago. Put CM 7.something on it, but I really wasn't happy with the performance so I just RUU'd back to stock and haven't messed with it since. I did leave it rooted for some root required apps though.
I rooted my HTC One a couple months ago using this method:
On gizmodo how-to-root-your-nexus-htc-one-or-samsung-galaxy-s4-990847878 (can't link it because I just signed up)
With 4.3 out I thought I would be able to find a modified update and keep my phone Stock rooted or try InsertCoin or something. My first mistake, I believe, was thinking that root was fine without S-Off.
I've got Drivers and Android SDK on my Win7 machine (I have a Mac and Fedora box if anyone knows any solutions using those OS's). I have on the phone TWRP 2.5.0.0, root, S-On. I try to upgrade to TWRP 2.6.0.0 and that doesn't work so well. I read somewhere that the M7WLS doesn't like that build, and I should try 2.6.0.1, I just strait to 2.6.3.0.
Read some articles on TWRP, watched some videos, so I go to do factory data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, and I do system wipe thinking I need to do that too. Whenever I reboot I basically stop at the HTC splash screen. Mistake number two, I have no OS now.
I hunt down a recovery.img from a site that is supposedly offical Sprint, flash it, try to do a factory restore, no good.
I try getting it back to stock with this:
How to Unroot / Unbrick the HTC One M7: Back to Stock by C4Etech
youtube.com C0G0hKY4P9Y
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <rom>.zip
I get errors whether locked or unlocked. I still have S-On and I'm guessing that's why I'm getting signature validation errors.
I try TWRP and ClockworkMod 6.0.4.3 to see if I can mount to my PC, no go.
Fastboot devices recognizes the M7WLS so after more reading I'm going to try ADB sideload. ADB devices does not see my phone. HT Sync is already installed, I remove it and try HTCDriver_4.2.0.001, no go. I remove it and try Universal_Naked_Driver_0.73, still nothing on adb devices. Whether TWRP or ClockworkMod Recovery I can't side seem to sideload.
I go to the store and pick up a cable:
Staples.com Belkin-4-Ports-USB-20-External-Flex-Hub product_IM1QZ5590 (Can't link)
Put
insertcoin-m7-4.0-4.zip AND
Guru_Reset_M7_Sprint_1.29.651.10.zip
on a USB stick, but the phone doesn't recognize it so I can load from either recovery.
I'm sure I've missed a few things in there. Right now I'm sunk, I'm tired, and suggestions are appreciated.
Try buy a USB to go and put a Rom on a Memory stick them using TWRecovery flash the Rom if you have any questions feel free to ask

Thanks for the input Demo. I actually connected it to OSX and the adb devices came right up so I was able to do a rom side load. Thanks again though.
your welcome
