[Q] Unlocked bootloader, cannot find a method to restore data partiton - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i have just unlocked the bootloader for the One. I know it deleted a partition which stops updates from happening. I cannot find a Nandroid for my software number which is 3.62.401.1. Is there an easy way to restore this without relocking the bootloader or losing root? Or are we stuck with this?
I have just come from a One X and nothing like this has happened so there are a few different parts to the One than the One x.
Thanks

You could try this one http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/guru-reset-3-62-401-1-stock-rom/
Or S-Off first, then flash the RUU to get back to stock.

Oooh yess because S-OFF means you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash rom's and recoveries right?

Nope, if you have the 1.54/1.55 hboot you need an unlocked bootloader for achieve the s-off.
However, your problem is simple to resolve.
You've to flash the stock recovery, the same of your version-main (for check this: fastboot getvar version-main), do a factory reset from bootloader, re-flash a twrp/cwm and you can see and use your data partition.

I have done this with an unlocked bootloader, is this fine? There is no flashlight app in the app draw so i guess it won't receive OTA's?

You lost the app so.
You need to found a backup of your rom or that apps.

Looked around cannot find the latest APK's to allow OTA, Nandroids don't seem to have that partition, plus no RUU for this model yet. Why would htc do this? They allow us to unlock it but basically try and block OTA's.

[Q] S-OFF Through HTC Dev with 1.54 Firmware

Hi guys,
just one quick question. I have my phone stuck in S-ON after upgrading into new firmware (HBOOT 1.54). It is clear that revone (the one I used to S-OFF the first time) is currently unable to S-OFF my phone right now. Therefore now I'm considering S-OFF through HTC Dev. Will HTC Dev S-OFF work with 1.54 HBOOT?
Another question would be, apart from getting wiped and lose some application, what disadvantage will S-OFF through HTC Dev brings?
Thanks for the help
you can unlock the bootloader and install custom roms/kernels but no s-off, which might be a problem if you need to send your phone to warranty because they could deny warranty on the re/unlocked status of the bootloader.

Why did you s-on in the first place? You can't s-off, you're stuck for now. HTC Dev can only unlock your bootloader.

I didn't S-ON it on purpose. It went S-ON automatically after firmware update and few resets. I have no slightest idea why it went S-ON. So... it seems I'm doomed for now...

With the HTC ONE toolkit you can unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
Very easy. I'm in the same situation at this moment. hboot 1.54.
I also got a question about this.
When I'm in the toolkit and I want to use the mainver error fix I always get Device not Found. Is this also because i'm on hboot 1.54 or maybe not a correct setting somwhere (adb?).

But through the toolkit, the unlocking process will use the HTC Dev method which erases the phone's internal memory and some part which contains some apps right? Any other cons which shouldn't I unlock through HTC Dev?
Here it is but be careful

Go there, register an account
http://www.htcdev.com/
after that click on the "developer center" button and right in the middle you will find a "unlock bootloader" button
click on it, follow instructions, but make sure you have a full backup of your storage cause it will be erased
S-OFF is a security flag that gives you permission to "play" with organic partitions of the devices system in a way
you don't need it for having custom recovery, after you unlock you can flash a recovery the exact same way you did with S-OFF or restore a backup you did before reverting to complete stock
S-OFF for most users is only a solution to not losing warranty after unlocking as unlocking actually voids your software warranty and in a way the hardware warranty as HTC can claim that the unofficial software you used actually damaged the device.
If I helped to make you understand in any way I am glad but please if you don't understand what these procedures do or how they work in a general sense it's better not to use/perform them, if you are in any way like me who spent the better part of a salary to buy this phone it would be a shame wasting all that money bricking it out of ignorance, if not, it's still a shame.

Yea it wipes everything so I suggest you back up anything important to you before you unlock... And there aren't any other cons except the fact that it will wipe EVERYTHING (apps, contacts synced with phone, music, pictures, etc.), thats the only con to it

I think there is some confusion here for the OP.
First, S-off and unlocking your bootloader are 2 completely different things. To install custom recoveries, and therefore custom Roms and kernels, you need an unlocked bootloader (I am not sue what all the talk of relocking was about). The only way for you to unlock at this point is with HTCdev, and this will wipe your device unfortunately. Their are guides to unlocking and rooting your phone in this very forum

[Q] HTC One reboot into bootloader

Hi
My HTC One keeps rebooting into the bootloader every time i turn it on, but if i say reboot, it boots up normally.
I decided to unlock my bootloader and the root the device, but i regret after unlocking the bootloader, so i decided to lock it. But now it just says "relocked" and "security warning". The reason it annoys me, is that i can't install the latest OTA update, because it just reboots into bootloader, and when i say "reboot" it boots up normally and the update is NOT installed.
What do you think i should do?
BTW, sorry if my english isn't perfect...

Are you still using a custom recovery? You have to flash stock recovery for OTAs.
Cant help you in detail but...
-you can change "Unlocked" to "Locked" with revone S Off
-it seems like you dont have any rom installed... you should flash a stock nandroid backup.. you can found it in the general forum.

Well custom recovery won't let you get OTA. But your are S-Off :good: excellent.
So first thing I would do, is use revone to get rid of "TAMPERED" and change "RELOCKED" to "LOCKED".
Keep S-Off !!
And finally run your RUU, that would reflash hboot, stock recovery, stock radio, stock ROM... all back to stock, and you should receive the OTAs.
(Remember keep S-Off, cause once you receive the OTA it has an updated hboot which will not allow you to S-Off again)

It is "relocked", and i have the stock rom, the problem is that whenever i run out of juice, and boot it back up, it boots into the bootloader.

Are you still S-Off? If yes, then you can downgrade your hboot to 1.44 no problem. You can either use a RUU or look if you can find an hboot image to flash using fastboot.

There are plenty of RUUs here: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7
if you can't find one for your CID, just change it to SuperCID for the duration of the process; remember you'll only need to downgrade to be able to run revone successfully, after that you can reflash whatever ROM, firmware, etc you choose.
EDIT: nevermind the above, i misread and thought you still had s-off. my bad.
EDIT 2: did you at least flash back stock recovery? if you're still on custom recovery that will cause problems.

If I understand correctly after downloading the OTA, you try to install it. The OTA will reboot into bootloader during that process. Correct?
Can't really think of a reason it's doing that, but if it is try going to "recovery" from the bootloader menu not "reboot", and see if it starts installing.

[HTC ONE] Unroot then root "security warning"

Hi guys,
After few months with my HTC One rooted and unlocked (running the Google developer edition 4.3), I wanted to unroot my phone (especially to use Barclay's app which doesn't work if the phone is rooted).
after a "fastboot oem lock", I have an "***Security warning ***" at boot. I know that I have to install everything using a RUU file, but when I try to, I've got another error message which say something like "can't install, hboot older".
Tried everything since few days and can't make it work. Any idea would be appreciated!
More details about my phone:
HTC One EE mobile UK (unbranded)
HBOOT-1.54.0000
Radio-4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617
cid-HTC_001
Thanks!
Do you have the stock rom?
And however, for unroot you don't have to relock bootloader, but unroot lol
For the ruu, yes, you can downgrande only if you have the S-OFF

[q] at&t m7 relocked, s-on, tempered, security warning

My AT&T M7 was bootloader unlocked, S-OFF, TWRP installed, Custom ROM (PA), and rooted. I wanted to sell it so I got a SIM Unlock code from AT&T. I went to input the unlock code and it wouldn't work. Apparently you have to be on stock hboot (which I wasn't since I did the google play edition conversion a long time ago) and on a stock ROM (which I also wasn't). So I tried to restore through an RUU.exe and it wouldn't work. RUU.zip didn't work either. So I restored my CID to CWS__001 and that didn't work (I had super CID before). I restored back to stock hboot 1.44 easily. Then I guess I somehow started just clicking random combinations of things inside of HTC One Toolkit and managed to relock my device and s-on so that I could try to restore a stock RUU. I must have done that incorrectly though because now I have no ROM installed, no recovery installed, and I'm S-ON with a message that says "security warning". I'm unable to flash a ROM since I don't have a recovery.
I went to HTC Dev to get an unlock code, which I did, but fastboot bootloader unlock says successful and does nothing. Additionally, I am unable to flash a recovery because I am S-ON.
Help! Any way to get S-OFF trough fastboot only without a ROM installed? Any way to force flash a recovery? Any way to force flash a ROM? Any way to get RUU to not spit out error 158? HELP!!!

yep we will see.
I also heard of someone lucky here who had a rep from HTC helping him. That guy from HTC compiled a custom firmware package signed with HTC private key (which will allow it to be flashed with s-on and locked bootloader). Once the firmware is flashed, it will unlock the bootloader. That was the only time I heard about this kind of thing and i'm not sure its approved by HTC and will probably not happen soon again.
Similar situation, but haven't gone backwards yet
I just bought a AT&T-locked HTC One M7 and mistakenly thought that rooting and s-off would unlock the SIM. I've also requested an unlock code from AT&T, but if what he's saying is true, I'm going to have to revert to a stock AT&T phone as well.
So my question is, How do I go backward without screwing up the same way? I have made some recovery backups of the original ROM but the bootloader was unlocked already. Took me a long time to figure out how to go forward in the process and I wasn't really concerned about having to re-lock anything because it's beyond the warranty period.
I'm running the following:
Bootloader unlocked
CWM Touch Recovery backups along the way
Firewater for S-Off
Venom ViperOne ROM installed
Bulletproof kernel
Firmware upgraded to 6.09.401.5
I'd really like to un-do as little of this as possible. I'm wondering what part of the modification is detected by the SIM unlock code process.
I'm kind of a noob, but this is my second Android phone that I've rooted and modded in the past couple of weeks, so I'm getting better. I'm very frustrated that unlocking the SIM is such a big deal. Any help you can offer is appreciated.

your situation isnt really comparable to OP's situation.
You just have to use the sim unlock code on a stock rom or "close-to-stock" rom like arhd (might also work on venom idk)
If you have to return stock to use the sim unlock code, you can use the stock odexed rom of 6.09.401.5 on available arhd blog download section. just make a nandroid backup of your current setup, flash the stock odexed rom, sim unlock using the code and then revert back to your venom rom using your nandroid backup.
or with s-off, simply ruu your phone, use the unlock code then flash the rom you want to use.
Got it working

Thanks again. Just bought an unlock code for $5 off one of those sites and it worked without doing any changes to the ROMs and other mods. Thanks for the tip about going back to stock easily though. Might want to set that up just as a backup.

I have hboot 1.61 and I want to s-off with sunshine but I need a temp root and I have no idea on how to achieve this.

Why temp root instead of permanent root? You have a Verizon HTC One?
i suppose u have a verizon version right? So KingRoot is what you need, but it's kinda unstable, i have random reboot a lot
I don't think to have a Verizon version, how do I check?
I need to be root to use sunshine, temp or permanent is the same.

So unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com/bootloader then flash latest TWRP recovery and finally flash supersu2.46 using twrp. Why do you want s-off?

Normally you don't need soff to flash custom roms, only an unlocked bootloader + a custom recovery.

I prefer soff to have no problem if I want to change firmware. All my HTC phones are s-off.
So, with the bootloader unlocked I can flash TWRP and su?

exactly. Unlock your bootloader using instruction from htcdev.com/bootloader then flash twrp for your device from here (Assuming your phone is a gsm M7_U or M7_UL) and then flash supersu2.46. Reboot in the OS and then launch Sunshine s-off.
