[Q] Going back to stock but with custom recovery

Hello,
I want to go back to stock factory image.
I am now on ARHD 12.3 with S-ON and stock CID and ROOT but want to go back to the orignal factory rom to get all the OTA updates.
And maybe it is possible to go back to stock to get the OTA's and still able to backup rom with custom recovery?
I want to do it as follow:
- Make a nandroid backup (TWRP)
- Copy backup to pc for safekeeping
- Use the RUU for the HTC M7_UL european
Now i am 100% stock right or do i forget something?
Thanks

if you want to get OTA updates you need stock recovery too and relocked bootloader...

Sorry but I believe you are wrong, you do not have to have a locked bootloader to get ota updates.

i just flashed a stock nandroid backup (from the internet), then i flashed stock recovery and locked the bootloader Everythis i now stock and i get official OTA. But i dont have a custom recovery

Stock recovery won't prevent the OTA from downloading, but it will prevent it from installing.

There is no need to relock the Bootloader. Restore stock nandroid and stock recovery and you are good to go.

ok i thought you need to relock too, but i guess i'm wrong but stock recovery is necessary..

[Q] Rooted, but can not install the OTA update 4.06.1540.3?

Ugh. I cannot restore stock recovery to my rooted HTC One Developer's Edition. I can install CWM and TWRP with no problem. But flash the stock recovery and all I get is the red exclamation point.
S-ON
HBOOT 1.55.0000
CID: BS_001
I cannot get OTA updates and I get Error 155 when I try to return to stock using RUU.
Maddening.
Are there any suggestions as to how to get to where I can receive OTA again? I can't believe how difficult it has been to restore the stock recovery.

As cIsA said, the raid exclamation mark you got is the first page of the stock recovery. Stock recovery is not intended for user so you have to make the power +volume trick to access the menu.

[Q] Rooted with stock sense and recovery ota

Hello,
I'd like to ask few question about using the factory reset option with a stock 4.3 sense rom (unlocked bootloader, rooted and twrp recovery)
So, i rooted my device to try out viper4android but turns out its completely useless to me as i later learned that stock does not allow read/write to system partition and now i'm wondering how to go back safely.
As i said above, i'm still using the stock 4.3 rom with an unlocked bootloader no other changes made, so my question is to go back stock (using factory reset) do i need to:
1. Flash stock recovery and do a factory reset.
2. Flash stock recovery, relock bootloader and do a factory reset.
3. Guru reset M7
4. Other?
Thanks ~
EDIT:
Quick update, so just flashed stock recovery and used factory reset, now ofc the root did remain, so now my question is, can i
take ota safely with stock rom/recovery but rooted?
Thanks ~

Anyone please, are any of my choices the good one (if so wich one)?

This is the way to go back to a stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
If you’re on hboot which is above 1.44, then first thing is to downgrade that:
so download this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/1-29-401-12_hboot_1-44-zip/
in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash it:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip <---- just in case the above said “failed flush again”
fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> and confirm hboot is now 1.44

Thank you for your help, the problem is i'm on hboot 1.55 and rumrunner ain't working because of the
secure stock kernel, so i cannot go with the ruu way, wich is why i was wondering if i could simply use
the factory reset option since other than being rooted it is fully stock, or else the htc1 guru reset option.

Post ur getvar all if ur confused as to which RUU to flash

As i said above flashing a ruu ain't an option since i'm s-on, what i meant by factory reset is the built in option (either through fastboot
or settings) with stock sense since i did not change anything, just unlocked the bootloader and rooted, and if that's not possible then if
guru reset utility for peoples with s-on is a good idea.

So i ended flashing stock recovery and used factory reset, everything did go alright tho ofc the root did remain, so now my question is, can i
take kitkat ota safely with stock rom/recovery but rooted? Or the fact that it's rooted risk messing up stuff? Oh and i dont mind loosing root.
Thanks ~

Your fine...you will lose root tho...

Returning to stock. Almost there. I want to make sure.

Hey Guys,
Can I please get some help? I am S-off and I have flashed the 6.06 no red warning hboot, but I need to return the phone for a repair.
I flashed the 5.11.401.10 firmware from Mike1986's repository (only because I could find matching recovery and ROM for this firmware), but the red warning has not come back. Is this a problem? Is there another version of this firmware I can use that WILL bring back the red warning (ie. an unmodified hboot)?
I have read NEVER to lock/relock a modified hboot as it'll do some nasty things. I need to be 100% before I go any further. I have the matching 5.11 odexed rom and recovery from the same repository.
I'm assuming the process is:
1. fix the issue with the hboot
2. flash the stock ROM
3. lock bootloader using the easy aroma method.
4. flash stock recovery via adb.
I've been told that I could leave it s-off as it will likely go unnoticed if the bootloader is locked. is this true?
Any and all help is vastly appreciated.

If you flashed the firmware from mike1986's [PLACEHOLDER] HTC One firmware collection for different CID/MID then you have both the stock hboot and stock recovery. His firmware does not have modified hboots. I would do the following:
1. flash custom recovery
2. flash stock rom
3. lock bootloader and remove tampered if present
4. flash stock recovery
I would leave it S-OFF.

Thank you. So it does not matter that the red warning has not returned? Even though I'm unlocked s-off?

If you have a stock recovery you will not have the red warning, it will come back if you have a custom recovery and a stock hboot. Did you flash a custom recovery after you flashed the stock firmware? If you did, you should see the red come back if not you will not. It is only visible when you enter recovery.

Thank you. That's the answer I was looking for. So I can go ahead and lock the boot loader without issue.

Yes, just follow these steps:
1. flash custom recovery
2. flash stock rom
3. lock bootloader and remove tampered if present using this tool: guru-bootloader-reset
4. flash stock recovery

You can follow nkk71's guide in my signature.
If you don't want to go completely back to stock just to get OTA you can flash this Guru Reset 4.19.401.11 in TWRP. In Aroma just select stock recovery and radio, when you reboot you will have stock recovery, stock rom. To get the OTA updates, you will have to relock your bootloader. You can use this command in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot oem lock

Thank you so much! i searched a lot for my versions reset tool. Just one last question. When i update my firmware and OS now and make a nandroid backup, will that nandroid help me revert back to stock after i have rooted my phone again?

Yes, it will make it a little easier. You will need to make the nandroid backup the first thing when you boot into recovery the first time before you root the phone. Save it to your computer for future use. If you are able to get the stock recovery from the firmware you can use it with your nandroid backup to get you close to stock. You would flash the stock recovery with the same commands as you flashed the custom recovery.
