[Solved] Back to stock

All right, here comes a noob question:
My HTC One is from Israel, and though I made a nandroid backup of my phone after I rooted it, I don't have one from before my rooting it. That said, my CID was HTC__K18...there is no RUU for that CID, so I used rumrunner to s-off my phone, changed my CID to HTC__01 and used the European RUU (the U not the UL because my phone is a U) to get %100 back to stock. The RUU that I flashed has a hboot of 1.44 and my stock was already a 1.54 and 4.2.2 (maybe 4.1.2?)...anyway after flashing the RUU, I'm not able to OTA and I really just want to get %100 stock...in a way that I'd be capable of receiving all the updates OTA and have the highest firmware/software. Thanks in advance!
Oh, and here's some of my info:
version-bootloader: 1.44.0000 (it shipped with 1.54 but I RUUed an older version)
version-baseband: 4A.14.3250.13
version-main: 1.29.401.2 (it shipped with 2.24.401.2)
version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF (used rumrunner to s-off hboot of 1.54)
product: m7_u
platform: HBOOT-8064
modelid: PN0711000
cidnum: HTC__001 (I changed the cid from HTC__k18)

Question: where do you want to go?
1- To an European stock model
2- To your version (I have a nandroid of 2.24.401.2 for a PN0711000, M7_U)

Whatever would give me OTA updates and allow me to be as stock as possible! Just out of curiosity, what would the benefits of each be? Thank you!

LOL, this just resulted in another question: why not use a custom ROM, they get updated way more frequently than OTAs? If you want "stock as possible" you can check out ARHD, it's very stock. (and since you're S-Off you can upgrade/downgrade anytime, including firmware!!)
As for benefits of the other two options:
1) I think HTC__001 (or was it Y13, not sure), are usually among the first WWE editions to get OTAs (not as fast as custom ROMs )
2) HTC_K18 would put you back to a state where you bought the phone.
It's all personal choice, eg I like stock but want it rooted so I'm currently running ARHD 13.3 (until I decide to upgrade), others like their Venom Tweaks or InsertCoin etc... and again for others they need to be unrooted because of some banking apps.
So give it a thought and let me know, which road you wanna take
PS: Hit the thanks button if I helped

Thank you for the quick reply!
Okay, so I'd like to go with the European road...as far as custom ROMs are concerned, I had ARHD, both GE and Sense, but I just want things to run smoothly and not worry about OTAs....I'd like to receive them as soon as they're available with the least amount of headache...
On that note, can I receive OTA updates directly from HTC while I'm s-off? Because currently I don't have that option...it doesn't even show that I have an update available.
Also, is your nandroid of 2.24.401.2 made with cid HTC__k18?
P.s. I don't even need/want to root the phone again...it's just too much for me. I'd like to get as stock as possible while keeping the options open (that's why I want to leave s-off).
Thank you again for your help! You're awesome!

Ok, European road
1- You've already changed your CID, you still need to change your MID: "fastboot oem writemid PN0710000"
(keep a record of your original CID, MID, and software/firmware version somewhere in case you ever need it)
2- remove tampered either using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
3- set your phone to LOCKED (not relocked) using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
4- then use the full European RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
you should keep S-Off and not go back S-On.
After installing the RUU you should immediately start receiving OTAs all the way up to 3.62
PS: remember the above procedure will wipe everything off your phone, so back up anything you may need first!!

You're awesome. However, I did all those steps except for the first step...when I go into recovery mode now, there's still the red lettering as well as when I go into "Tell HTC and error reporting" the red lettering says "This is a test device. Accordingly, to collect critical information about the device, Tell HTC is enabled and cannot be turned off regardless of device settings." Oh, and I'm not able to receive the OTAs.
Now, if I change the MID, do I need to do all the steps again or can I just do the first step now? Will that help get rid of the "test device" warnings that I have on the phone?
Oh, and I used this European one before (cause I have a U and not UL) http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/
Why would I use the UL one?
Thank you again for you time and help!

You won't get any OTAs because of your MID, change it, and see if you start getting the OTAs. M7_U and M7_UL share pretty much most of the software stuff, the hardware is different of course, but MID 0711 and CID HTC__001 won't get any OTAs.
The "Tell HTC and error reporting" red text is because you're S-Off, personally I wouldn't care. But if it bothers you A LOT, you'll need to go S-On again, and AT THIS TIME you should NOT!!! we can deal with that later.
Change MID, and confirm you are now getting OTAs
Again DO NOT GO S-ON, at least for the time being!!

Let's slow it down a little, if I understand correctly:
1- you are now unTAMPERED
2- you are now LOCKED, not RElocked or UNlocked
3- you have CID: HTC__001
4- you have MID: PN0711000
5- you ran the RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/
6- you are still S-Off (please!)
If all of the above are true, when you go to Settings->About->Software Update (or whatever it's called), does it show an update? or what does it say
EDIT: can you repost a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n)

Before we go on messing with MID, can you just change CID to HTC__J15 (two underscores) and check for a software update, don't know the original 1.xx version, but I am sure that J15 PN0711 got the 2.24.401.2 and (possibly) 2.24.401.9.
Just check if it gives an update with HTC__J15, no need to download it!!

Hey, how are you today?
I'll be online later (around 5 or 6), but it looks like that RUU is fully compatible with ur original CID. So go ahead with your original CID, and get the OTAs. U should be able to get at least to 2.24.401.9, don't know if 3.62 is out for u yet.
Keep s-off in case we need to change something later.
C u later...

Hey, no the RUU is not compatible with my original CID (HTC__K18) as there are no available upgrades after I change the CID...also the same is true when I change it to HTC__001, though it did work when you told me to update to J something or other...weird.

Well I guess you have 2 choices:
1- set CID to HTC__J15 -> a friend of mine has PN0711000 HTC__J15, it's basically the M7_U version and HTC__J15 is a nonbranded WWE edition but usually for the Middle East
2- set CID to HTC__001, set MID to PN0710000, and use this RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
by changing to MID PN0710000, it will make the software on your phone think it's a UL model, but since the hardware isn't there for LTE, it won't make any difference.
Step 1, is probably the easiest to do, so why not just set it to J15 and see how far the updates go. (ie if 3.62 is out for J15).
Hope that helps

Instal this. Stock rom and stock recovery in one zip. Version Stock rom and firmware must be the same. 2.24.401.8 propably will work good. I dont see 2.24.401.9. After this you have stock phone and you get OTA updates. (bootloader still be "unlocked") But you must know that some people write after back to stock and OTA from htc they phone dont bootup. OTA can brick your phone. Sorry for my english.

Don't really understand why anybody would want to go backwards, except for warranty, but in any case, your choice so here goes: you need s-off
1- So download Guru Reset 2.24.401.8 (closest available to your version): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
Flash it, you do need to WIPE, deselect "stock recovery", select ROOT, radio doesnt matter
2- Download rumrunner package 2.24.401.9, and use it to get S-Off
once s-off
3- remove TAMPERED: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
4- set your phone to LOCKED: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
5- download and run the following RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/
6- do not take any OTA YET
7- if you insist on S-On, then "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3", if you don't mind keeping S-Off keep it
8- take the OTAs

Don't really understand why anybody would want to go backwards, except for warranty, but in any case, your choice so here goes: you need s-off
1- So download Guru Reset 2.24.401.8 (closest available to your version): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
Flash it, you do need to WIPE, deselect "stock recovery", select ROOT, radio doesnt matter
2- Download rumrunner package 2.24.401.9, and use it to get S-Off
once s-off
3- remove TAMPERED: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
4- set your phone to LOCKED: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
5- download and run the following RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/
6- do not take any OTA YET

No need to lock bootloader to get OTA, you just need:
1- stock rom
2- (preferably) matching firmware
3- stock recovery
so if your TWRP backup is same version as firmware, then just restore it, that will get you back to stock rom.
after that, you still need to flash stock recovery; for you (2.24.401.9) you can use the 2.24.401.8 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463387 (it's in under the WWE section)

Hello, Thanks for your help. I have to clear a doubt before applying this.
Thanks for the guide.
I have 3.62.401.1 World Wide English (WWE) HTC ONE with the last JB 4.3 OTA update.
Unlocked, Custom recovery, Rooted and S-OFF, Hboot 1.55, Stock ROM (stocks apps deleted)
I have speaker issue so I need to send back my phone to customer service.
I find the right RUU.exe for my CID => RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
I think this is with hboot 1.44
1. I have to downgrade htboot 1.55 to 1.44 before running RUU.exe?
2. Stock recovery is it included in RUU ?
Thanks in advance

I'm going to apply the Post 2 method. Just a question, at what step we return back to STOCK RECOVERY please ? RUU.EXE will restore or I have to do it maually ?

if you're using RUU.EXE method it will be restored automatically.
after "Step 2: Run your RUU.EXE", your phone will be 100% out-of-the box (also fully wiped!), if you decide to go S-On, do it after the RUU, and before OTA updates (hboot 1.55+ can be nasty!!)

[Q] Flashed Wrong RUU Trying to go back to Stock, Booloop and Recovery Won't Work

Hey guys and girls. A little backstory:
New to android
Use Cyanogenmod Installer
Get Purple Camera. Need to go back to stock.
Stumble upon guide by nkk71 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
Botch last step
So I found an ruu with my CID and MID, but it was the GPE ruu not the ATT RUU! The ATT RUU zips don't list CID and MID so I assumed I should not use them and all that matters is matching those.
I had locked and went back to s-On when following the guide.... big mistake.
I've since unlocked and tried to root so that I could go back to S-Off.
Flashed several different correct recoveries and none will work. I am erasing the cache, but nothing works. I've tried the most recent versions of CWM and TWRP and can't get anywhere.
What should I try next?

Technically, you can, but shouldn't reboot the OS because of the OTA notification, which may make it tempting to take, but I'll try and rephrase the guide.

bootloader is unlocked, good... do NOT try and lock it!!
reflash TWRP and a custom ROM (you can try ARHD 31.6 or similar), and get S-OFF using rumrunner and/or firewater
i'm off for tonight, sorry about the mess

The stock att RUU's would almost certainly have the stock CWS_001 Cid. You just need one that is the same or postdated to your current hboot version since you are s-on now. Unfortunately, now that you are s-on, you will also need to relock the bootloader to flash an RUU. I would do that and then use firewater/rumrunner/latest s-off method to get s-off and unlock boot loader. Then you want to fix the "relocked" flag to "locked", and s-on again, and get it repaired.

I would try to get S-OFF where you are now.
I'll keep this here just in case
Otherwise, you can use the 3.xx RUU.EXE: http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
this will upgrade to hboot 1.55, and rumrunner and/or firewater should work on it.
(remember you need to relock bootloader for that to work with S-On, that's why i'm recommending to try where you are now, so you don't lock bootloader)
there is also a 4.xx RUU but do not use it, because it will upgrade your hboot to 1.56, making it even more difficult to S-OFF.
and once you're S-OFF, you should use this ruu.zip for my guide (which is for PN0712000 + CWS__001):

I was able to get TWRP (newest version) and ARHD (31.6) running. I then got S-OFF using Firewater. I'll use the RUU and follow the guide again.
I saw another one of your posts that suggested S-OFF may not effect warranty claims. Any further thought on that?
Thanks again for all your contributions.

It's really very country/carrier/people specific, in theory, S-Off shouldn't matter as some phones accidentally ship S-Off (ok, it's very very very rare), but S-Off shouldn't void warranty https://twitter.com/htc/status/377422743626842112
Then again, in practice some carriers/technicians may try to use any excuse to refuse warranty.

[Q] Choosing RUU and returning to stock

Hello Everyone,
I have read multiple guides from here and want to emphasize what a great community this place seems to be!
I am a proud owner of an HTC One M7 with Miui installed.
I have CWM Recovery installed and am S-ON.
I have the tint problem of the camera and intend to bring it to the seller for a repair. This requires me to go back to the stock HTC Sense ROM.

I don't know how to choose the correct RUU. The only thing which comes close to what I have in terms of software version is this:
RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe
Should I use it?
Also, most of the guides start with the assumption that your phone is S-OFF (not really sure what that means exactly, but that's a different conversation).
Does that mean I can skip the steps for getting it back to S-ON from those guides and continue onward or I should get it first to S-OFF, do whatever needs to be done and then get it back to S-ON and continue with the RUU?
Thanks a lot, guys!
Best,
Wisher

That RUU will work for you, but it won't do any good for reinstating your warranty. You need to be s-off to return to 100% stock.
As you will need to set the bootloader back to ***LOCKED*** which requires s-off. With s-on the best you will get is ***RELOCKED*** and that's a sure sign the device was tampered with.

Good catch I didn't spot he was on .11 not .9 :good:

Thanks for your replies.
So how do I go about getting a newer RUU?
I am currently trying to get S-OFF with rumrunner... hopefully it will work.
If I get it to be S-OFF, what should I do from that point on?

The unbranded EU Lollipop RUU (in ZIP form) is here:

If you use that ruu you won't be able to get s-off, there is no working method to s-off hboot 1.60. You'd be better off finding a stock Rom to flash and get s-off with rumrunner. Once you update past hboot 1.57 you will have to pay $25 for sunshine to s-off and as I mentioned if you go to hboot 1.60 you will ha e to wait for a new exploit that will work with that version. No doubt that will also be an updated version of Sunshine

What's wrong with paying for S-OFF? Gotta show the Devs some love

So the current option is to find a stock 401.11 ROM?
Any ideas where to look for one?
I have found the original/stock OTA zip file for the 401.11 update from an article by Android Revolution HD.
Also the 401.11 stock firmware zip from the android revolution collection.
(sorry, I'm too new of a user and can't post the actual links but they can be found by googling "4.19.401.11 ruu" and seeing the android revolution blogspot article)
Am I correct in thinking that I should do the following:
1. Flash with this firmware (since it is the stock one).
2. Install the OTA zip with fastboot (I think there is a tutorial on how to do this). Will this work the same as installing a RUU?
3. Run rumrunner while still on hboot 1.56
4. Go to S-OFF
5. Return everything to stock
6. Apply latest OTA (lolipop etc.)
7. Pay the price if I want to have S-OFF later.

No RUU, flash this inside TWRP recovery just like you would with a custom rom, only this will make your phone stock.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545524
you cant manually flash OTA's whilst s-on, also you shouldnt need to flash firmware that you are already on.

get s-off as long as you can, do not accept any updates.
after s-off you will need to flash HBOOT 1.44 and a very early RUU, then get rid of the flags and s-on before updating.
removing the flags and then going s-on with anything higher than HBOOT 1.54 and the flags come back on the next reboot.

What is different to what the situation was when I was with MIUI is that now when I type "adb shell" I am not automatically root (don't have # but $ at the console). When I do "su", the $ changes to #, which basically means that I am root.
I guess rumrunner has a requirement that you are root by default when logging via adb shell.
Any idea on a fix?

There's nothing wrong with paying for s-off. I have purchased Sunshine myself when necessary, and made regular donations to other devs. but it's only fair to inform people of there options before you land them with a $25 solution not everyone has money to spare for that sort of thing. :good:

So the current option is to find a stock 401.11 ROM?
Any ideas where to look for one?
I have found the original/stock OTA zip file for the 401.11 update from an article by Android Revolution HD.
Also the 401.11 stock firmware zip from the android revolution collection.
(sorry, I'm too new of a user and can't post the actual links but they can be found by googling "4.19.401.11 ruu" and seeing the android revolution blogspot article)
Am I correct in thinking that I should do the following:
1. Flash with this firmware (since it is the stock one).
2. Install the OTA zip with fastboot (I think there is a tutorial on how to do this). Will this work the same as installing a RUU?
3. Run rumrunner while still on hboot 1.56
4. Go to S-OFF
5. Return everything to stock
6. Apply latest OTA (lolipop etc.)
7. Pay the price if I want to have S-OFF later.

You should try rumrunner with the Rom @Seanie280672 posted to gain s-off. Not guaranteed to work as HTC started patching firmware at this point but if you need 100% stock it's your best chance to s-off without Sunshine.
If rumrunner won't work Sunshine is still cheaper than paying for the repair, and when you get your device back you can use Sunshine again for free, as long as it is the same device and not a replacement :good:

No RUU, flash this inside TWRP recovery just like you would with a custom rom, only this will make your phone stock.

you cant manually flash OTA's whilst s-on, also you shouldnt need to flash firmware that you are already on.

Did you select the option to install root when you flashed the rom?

Thanks for the info.
I did select to have the phone rooter.
However, I remembered that I forgot to switch fastboot off while testing rumrunner with the ROM from @Seanie280672.
I have now disabled this and am trying again. If it doesn't work, will reinstall the ROM again with CWM and *make sure* to have super user privileges (although I do have the Superuser app installed now just after flashing.)
I also remember that I had some super user issues when I was trying to install MIUI and had to install some zip via CWM. I still have that zip so will try with it.
Again, thank you VERY VERY much for helping me out!

your better off using TWRP recovery to flash the rom, there should be an option to root during the installer, but if there isnt then TWRP will ask you if you would like to root before leaving recovery.

Did it via CWM, made sure to select to root the phone. Still, I can do "su" when in the phone shell via adb, but it won't be directly with root access after "adb shell".
Now will try with TWRP (since installing the guru reset rom also resets the recovery to the HTC stock) and report back.
Good thing is I still have the MIUI backed up to use with CWM.
I will write soon.

S-off to S-on (Purple tint) Are correct these steps?

Hi , I have a One (M7) and I'm planning to send it back to HTC in order to fix the purple tint problem.
I'm S-off and I want to Lock the bootloader and returning to Stock + S-on.
I'll follow these steps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082 Post #4 but i have doubts marked in blue
Step 0: -not in the previous thread link- I have hboot 1.57. Do I have to move to 1.44 ?
Step 1: let's get rid of TAMPERED (if it's there) and set you back to LOCKED (not relocked)
and confirm no TAMPERED and LOCKED status. (I have UNLOCKED status, so I'm only have to set it to LOCKED, isn't it?)
Step 2: Flash your RUU.zip
Download your MID & CID compatible RUU.zip: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-zip-downloads/
Rename the downloaded file to ruu.zip (careful about ruu.zip.zip in Windows)
(My mid is PN0710000 and cid= HTC__304 so I'll flash
RUU+Zip+M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed)
Do I need first to flash a stock splash?. Currently, I have Maximus 53 HD rom installed (with its own splash bootloader).
Step 3: if YOU decide to go S-On (Note: this should only be done for warranty or selling the phone, it is not needed for OTAs)
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
( with 1.44 hboot, doesn't exist the possibility of a TEMPERED boot loop, Is it right?)
Thx in advance.

You need to downgrade hboot to 1.44 or you will get a fail when you use the ruu.
Also hboot 1.44 has the ability to boot a custom recovery without actually flashing it to the device and returning to s-on on hboots above 1.55 could lead to Tampered message returning after you've completed the process. Then you will need to go back to s-off and start again. So it is best to downgrade hboot to 1.44, lock bootloader remove tampered, run the ruu. Then take the first (and only the first) OTA update. If the update installs OK then it's safe to say you can go back to s-on. :good:

But what happens if I decide not to take 1st OTA update? Can i omit this step and run "fastboot oem ...3" (taking into account that I flashed hboot 1.44) ?

Everything must be stock 100% before you go back to s-on. That's why you must flash the RUU. You don't have to take the first OTA, bit it's a good way for ensuring it's safe to turn s-on. If the OTA installs OK then you have unmodified system and it's safe to lock it up. The RUU should do the Job it's just an extra precaution.

Uppps, but now that I'm reading more in detail... If I decide to take the 1st OTA just for extra checking, Can this OTA change the hboot (I mean, hboot 1.44 to more actual one)
doing "fastboot oem ...3" impossible due to the Tampered message protection in hboot > 1.55?
Thx

Hi again,
I downgraded hboot to 1.44, but I realized that exists this Lollipop RUU.zip --> PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.22_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_430964_signed.zip
(https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763626)
Is it a good idea,having hboot 1.44, flashing this .zip, instead of Jellybean -RUU+Zip+M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A .13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed-? and therefore ,accept 1st OTA and apply fastboot oem ...3 afterwards?
I'm scared because i saw ((status read failed (Too many links))) when I only tested a "fastboot getvar all" command:
C:\adb>fastboot getvar all

And finally, If it's not possible and I install JB_50 RUU.zip, can I accept ALL OTA's up to Lollipop and then apply "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"?

Even with these new RUU's you still need to downgrade to go back to s-on. You must go s-on with a hboot 1.55 or below

No you must go s-on after the first OTA from JB_50 RUU.zip. Further OTA updates will upgrade you to hboot 1.56 then it's to late to go s-on without risking TAMPERED flag returning :good:

If I run JB_RUU, Doesn't it change hboot version even if I take only 1st OTA?
Otherwise, If I run Lollipop_RUU doesn't it change hboot version even if I take only 1st OTA?
Why do 2nd,3rd OTA and so on change hboot and not 1st (only for understanding the reason)?
I'm aware that hboot > 1.54 adds "TAMPERED" ...

You must flash the jb ruu. After that you will still be on hboot 1.44.
Then you can take OTA updates. The first OTA will update hboot to 1.54. It is still safe to go back to s-on because your below hboot 1.56
Technically you can also take the next OTA up to hboot 1.55. But I don't recommend it. You won't gain anything from it and it increases the risk of problems later on.

And what happens if technical support receives the terminal with JB?
I mean, They asked me if my terminal had the last firmware version, because although I explained them that it was a HW problem, they insist to go last version and check if it fixes .
Then if I send the terminal (let's supose up to hboot 1.55 and JB) they would discover that I'm hiding something to them...
That's the reason I want to let the terminal with the latest firmware and Android version...

Let me explain what I'm planning to do and tell me if it's a good idea or not.
(with hboot 1.44 also installed)
Option 1:
htc_fastboot flash zip LP.zip (x2)
Apply 1st OTA (risk of TAMPERING??)
SOFF -> SON

Option 2: (safer??)
fastboot flash zip JB.zip (x2)

Apply 2nd, 3rd, and so OTA's up to LP and last firmware (risk of TAMPERING??)
