Help, Back to stock for repair, cracking me up aarghhhhhh

Hi guys i knew the ins and out of my galaxy S3, but need help with my htc one
I know this is a big ask but having a real bad time trying to get this sorted, but need to get back to stock for new digitizer replacement.
i am running ARHD 11 with unlocked bootloader S-off, latest firmware. and twrp on my UK HTC_001
Is there a full guide to get me back to stock, as i have trawled through the forum and have about 10 tabs with various information but its getting to confusing as to what to do first with out bricking my phone.
i tried to do my stock nandroid backup first but that gave me no touchscreen function, not sure if that's because i have updated to the latest firmware, so had to flash ARHD back to get touchscreen function agian.
i then relocked the bootloader and that wiped my phone so had no system to boot into just cwm recovery. Tried to sideload rom but that didn't work adb error closed.
then i fastboot flash twrp, and then usb otg flashed arhd 11 from usb stick, working agian.
this is doing my head in, been at this for 3 days and getting nowhere
in what order do i go about this to get to full stock without bricking
need to be S-on
locked bootloader
revone locked not relocked
stock uk HTC_001 unbranded rom
unroot.
Big thanks in advance guys if you can help.

You should be able to install a 401 RUU and then
./revone -l
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

thanks benpope, need a bit more of a guide dude,
not sure what RUU i need, my phone is uk unbranded htc_001
do i fastboot the RUU rom?
revone-l , is to turn relocked to locked i guess
thanks

I would gain S-off and unlock bootloader again then flash this RUU in fastboot

RUU (ROM Update Utility)
Connect your device to the PC
Open/run the RUU and follow on screen instructions.
Set up your phone once it reboots then check for software update and you should get the 1.29.401.12 update.
When you have installed the update you can use revone to set S-on and lock your bootloader.
./revone -l
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
This is what I did and it worked for me.

If i were you i would write superCID from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536. leave S-Off as it is and only lock the bootloader and then just flash the latest WWE RUU and you`re done. Unless you have a problem with your phone and need to turn it in for repair.

Cheers guys will give it a go in the morning, on nightshift at the mo

Getting stuck at RUU error 170 usb cable connection, must be a driver error.

Adb updated, htc drivers, HTC sync, pdanet installed but still getting RUU ERROR 170 usb cable not connected when trying to run Ruu Rom. Adb devices dosent see my device, it did 2 days ago.
No driver installs when I plug phone into pc in bootloader mode, pdanet used to pop up too, but dosent any more, reinstalled them all but still the same, even used cccleaner to fix registries.
Any advice on this one thanks.

I have a zip you can flash which will fully hard brick your phone with no chance of HTC recovery if you need it, will probably result in a new phone and not just a new touchscreen.

anyone have a link, done search, but not sure which is latest.
cant run 1.28 RUU as gives me bootloader error which i think is due to upgrading to custom firmware.

Man, that's dark.
Is this confirmed? Has anybody flashed this, then sent their phone for warranty repair?
My phone, as far as I could tell was hard bricked (AOSP), but HTC was able to pull up my bootloader to tell me they were gonna need $200 to replace my main board.

It has been confirmed as it was initially flashed accidentally by someone. However, I won't be sharing the link as I feel it isn't morally right to do it

Windows 8.1 and Hboot 1.55

Just got my new laptop running windows 8.1. Now my ONE is not recognized when in fastboot, no fastboot drivers. Did a lot of research and found that everything works on the new hboot 1.55 which I don't run! Does anyone have the fastboot drivers available and can share? Or does anyone know of flashable for just the hboot upgrade?

I ran into the same issue on my home desktop computer with 8.1 after messing around with it I ended up grabbing out my old hard drive and booting back into Windows 7 however I would try flashing the Rumrunner H boot which should be compatible with Windows 8.1 as others have told me but I haven't tested it yet but that is my plan when I have to do my next round of flashing. Your going to have to use a Windows 7 (or xp) computer in order to do that but once you do then you can use your 8.1 computer from then on out

I wonder if I could get just the fastboot drivers if it would work without having to change my hboot. Does anyone have the fastboot drivers only available?

Go read the FAQ, @BD619 has the info you likely need in that thread (stickied).

You will have to upgrade the hboot for it to work on 8.1 regardless of what drivers you get at least that is my understanding. I'm on an older hboot because I did a custom hboot with my name on top. The main reason I did a custom hboot was to get rid of the ugly red development text during boot which rumrunner will do. The bootloader customizer plugin hasn't been updated to the new hboot yet so I would just flash rumrunner hboot. It just says rumrunner at the top and most important red development text is gone.

I'm trying to avoid changing my hboot because I have modded just the way I like it and I've never had a problem with it. But I guess is lose one, gain one!

All u need is the rumrunner hboot and Ur good. U do not need to flash any firmware. I've always done the same as u, upgrade firmware without hboot but this time I had to flash just a new hboot. And everything is all good now with windows 8.1! :thumbup:

Nice add to the FAQ, I had 8.1 before it was released so I ran into this issue right away but as it rolls out even more it's going to come up more often. With s-off changing upgrading/downgrading hboots isn't a big deal at all. With s-on you gotta be careful but this is the 1st time I can recall ever that upgrading your hboot has a benefit.

HELP! HTC One problem when in fastboot mode

i'm trying to install a stock Europe ROM from a RUU.zip because the RUU.exe wont run on my laptop for some reason (Windows 8.1 64bit)
i am S-off and have changed my CID to Super-CID and MID to the required one.
I have the latest HTC drivers installed and have uninstalled HTC Sync. my HBOOT version was 1.57 before, but i used firewater to obtain s-off and it brought my HOBOOT back to 1.44 (i don't know how) *i couldn't get s-off with 1.57*
i'm trying to follow this guide to install the ruu.zip
but i can only get as far as adb reboot-bootloaderon htcguru site
after it boots to bootloader mode the USB device becomes unrecognized and i cant fastboot any commands (waiting for device) shows up.
i restart my phone and i can mount to my laptop just fine and everything but when i get into fastboot mode it becomes unrecognized (Code 43), i've been up all night trying to find a solution but nothing. im lost for ideas.
ive tried different ports and restarted my laptop several times
any ideas. only reason i wanted the European ROM was to get rid of the o2 UK bootanimation and now its become a much bigger problem
i cant even run the ruu.exe file now that im s-off so im pretty much stumped

From memory hboot 1.54 doesn't like Windows 8. Do u know someone who has Windows 7?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Win 7, no I don't

Can I change my hboot to make it compatible?

Actually maybe it was 1.56 that didn't like Windows 8. Argh I can't remember. If you are s off you can easily downgrade or upgrade hboot

I am looking for an s-off enabling android 4.2 custom ROM for HTC One

Just looking for this rom, I understand no one wants to develop an old rom, but there would be a good reason, and it seems all the downloads have been deleted. I can't find a 4.2 ROM anywayere. Anyone got an idea for me where I can get a Custom 4.2,,,like a CM 10 or something?

S-OFF does not disable fastboot on win 7 and up
the only problem with fastboot and windows is when your hboot version is 1.44, it will not work with Windows 8.1 and 10 but its not an s-on/s-off thing...

when I got my phone back from jtag it was s on, tampered /unlocked. i unlocked it myself 6 hours before bricking it. that was 1 month ago.
I never looked what the original hboot was but I unlocked it, so Im guessing it didnt change, but after jtag the splash screen said quietly brilliant where it did not previously.
it returned to me with cm on it, the repairer put the nandroid I had stored. no stock nandroid was available to repair. however, the orig. pbone was clearly a 5.0.2 lollipop updated phone.
So if it had 1.44 when I got it back, and the original quietly brilliant type splash screen would you say it was otherwise when I sent it in?
were 1.44 phones unable to fastboot in windows 8 at their inception? I'm a month only owner of a m7.
so I heard someplace that only windows 8.1 and up are programmed not to recognize the 1.44 hboot.
my experience is my 7 machine would not do a fastboot. either. vista did it, and now I oem flashed a 1.54 hboot, and still cant fastboot connect in win7.

I can confirm that hboot 1.44 was working fine for Windows XP to Windows 8.0. When Windows 8.1 was released (August 2013) fastboot were not working anymore and HTC released hboot 1.54 in October 2013 to fix the problem.
Many of us (including me) were still using Win 7 back in these days since we hated Win 8/8.1 and it was working fine. I unlocked my bootloader, flashed a custom recovery, achieved s-off. changed CID and MID and converted my phone to another version, all this when my phone was on 1.44 and my computer running Win 7.
I believe you when you say its not working on your side with Win7, but its most likely another problem like a driver issue or something with your config but it should work, its not an hboot or S-on/S-off problem.
