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.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

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.

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

x.xx.709.x is in your list it should work

My recommendation is to install rumrunner using 32 bit ubuntu. Not 64. No worries about drivers.. you don't have to install ubuntu, just put it on a disk or usb, boot into it and select try instead of install. After days of tryng different methods, computers and versions of windows, ubuntu worked the first time . Rumrunner has a version for ubuntu and instructions on their site

For sure? if it wont , the phone can brick or something?

im on 3.63 and i was able to S-OFF my phone.

So..
I tried to do that and its says after the dots:
ERROR: run rumrunner again and READ (no adb connection to device. Debugging on
Drivers?)
Press ENTER to exit
Drivers installed.
There is ADB Connection.
Debugging on.

1) are you on windows or linux
2) if your on windows make sure you reboot to fastboot first and connect cable so it can install the second driver
3) also watch the phone when its running at one point you have to allow the computer to connect in a higher mode or it will fail and still might but after you allow/accept this mode it should be good to go

I was able to set S-OFF on my ATT HTC One. I would suggest to make sure the drivers you have is the latest.
1. Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Search the xda forums for latest compatible driver for your PC. Here's a thread with a collection of windows drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089508
3. Make sure to see your phone appear in Device Manager when connected (if using Windows OS).
4. You can also use the following command after the Android SDK "platform-tools" is installed & phone connected: adb devices
Hope this help.

[Q] Can i convert my Htc one with Vodafone Cid to Stock and receive ota updates?

Both cid # and mid # MUST match the main-ver you want to flash. CID and MID require s-off to be modified.
i.e if you have a x.xx.161.x main-ver, you need corresponding MID PN0710000 and one of compatible CID like VODAP001 or VODAP102, etc... (Vodafone)
i.e if you have a x.xx.401.x main-ver, you need corresponding MID PN0710000 and one of compatible CID like HTC__001 or HTC__101, HTC__203 etc... (stock international)
If you have a CID that doesn't match your main-ver, your phone will not find any OTA update
If you have proper CID but wrong MID, your phone will find and download OTA, but will fail the update process.
f you want to convert using a RUU, both CID and MID must match otherwise the ruu will not flash.
copy/paste the output of this command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
minus emei and sn and it will be much easier to tell you what options you have.

Yes it should
So go to this thread and install adb/fastboot.
turn on usb debugging mode on your phone ''settings ---> developer option ---> check the usb debug box'' if developer option menu is messing from you settings menu do this: settings ---> about phone ---> tap the build number rapidly until you are prompted you unlocked developers option.
connect phone to pc via usb while phone is normally booted in Android (better to use port behind the pc instead of usb port in front. also i will recommend you not to use a windows 8.1 computer.
quote me when this step is done. (use reply below my post so i can see you replied)

You'll probably encounter problem later in the process with win 8.1. Win 8.1 require hboot 1.55 for fastboot to work. During the process you will need to downgrade hboot to 1.44 to flash the international RUU. And your phone will not be recognized by computer when using fastboot and you will be stuck there. So better to find a windows 7 computer or maybe you could dual boot win 7 on the same comp.
now you should be able to continue with next step even with win 8.1
so start Minimal ADB and Fastboot, a command prompt should open. with phone connected to pc and usb debugging enabled, check that drivers are working properly with this command:
Code:
adb devices
should output this:
Code:
List of devices attached
HT(yourserial#) device

When you will flash the international RUU.exe, your device will go back to 100% stock (stock recovery, stock OS, stock hboot) means no root anymore like if your device was brand new.

I tried going into recovery but it just rebooted back to the bootloader. I tried everything in the bootloader options and nothing worked.
​my Hboot is version 1.57 and my OS is 6. 10.531.9

Since, you are S-ON with a locked bootloader run this RUU 6.10.531.10. It will put you back at stock, then you can try to unlock you bootloader. To get S-OFF you will need to use Sunshine with your hboot 1.57.

I have a (sprint) H/K edition M8 running 4.4.2 rooted with TWRP recovery, s-on with 1.54.654.13 & SPCS-004. I wish to return to stock to get the Lollipop update and then return to root. Im at a loss as to what to do please help any advice is appreciated.

Check out the thread in the link below. Use the RUU for the HK Lollipop update. You'll need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU. After running the RUU you'll need to unlock your bootloader and reinstall TWRP. You can then flash a ROM.

Connect your phone to your computer. Run the command fastboot oem lock. That will relock your bootloader.

Not to hijack the thread but how do I put it back to 100% stock so I can do a warranty return? I am mostly talking about how to remove s-off. I figure I need to have it back to s-on to do the warranty return.

You have to make sure you install the drivers in recovery,bootloader, and OS
ADB = OS and recovery
Fastboot = hboot/fastbootusb.
The waiting for device might be that you are not in fastbootusb

bootloader says RELOCKED, attempting to run RUU...

successful update, thanks for the help guys. Is there any way to get my on screen buttons changed to the new shape and to root again?

You can install TWRP and root just like you were on any other update. Android version does not matter. Just make sure you unlock the bootloader again, you can use the same unlock token from HTC dev. Then you want to install recovery
Code:
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
After that, from fastboot, boot into recovery and then reboot system. If you use a newer TWRP it will prompt you to install superSU.
