[Q] HTC M7 Dev Edition *Factory Rom Lost*

Hey everyone new poster to the forums here . Have a question about loosing the stock ROM for my HTC M7 Dev edition. I made the backup but I think when I formatted I formatted more then I should have because when I pull up TWRP recovery mode to restore a backup nothing is listed in the window. However when I go into the internal storage in windows on my computer with the phone connected and look inside HTC One\Internal storage\TWRP\BACKUPS I found a folder called HT34GW9xxxxx and a sub directory with a date on it and it looks like the date that I did the flash in the first place. That folder also has 13 files in it equaling out to 4.25GB in size. So basically what I'm getting at is how come I can see this folder here but not in recovery and even if I could see it in recovery this seems like it's not large enough to be HTC Sense 5.0 according to this thread and the downloads attached to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248997&highlight=nandroid
Also speaking of that thread considering the original M7 Dev rom is gone can I use that thread to restore my phone even though I am using TWRP and not clockwork. I'm not the greatest at these type of things, I don't want to brick my phone, and I never have enough time invest in this stuff. If I knew this was going to happy I probably wouldn't have done it in the first place lol.
Thank you in advance and sorry if this has already been talked about, I did a search but I must have skipped over it if it was already out there :\.

Thank you for the help. A follow up question would be is there a place to get someone's previous backup and download it like the link I put up in the previous posts user did. I really don't want to lock the boot loader and I would love to just be able to easily get Cyanogenmod back on the phone easily. Reason being is that right now the Cm camera just isn't up to pay with the Sense camera software and if I go to an event like I am tonight I would like to be able to swap back and fourth.

TWRP and CWM backups aren't compatible with each other. You'd have to flash the relevant recovery to use a corresponding backup.
You still have your backup though. You said as much in your OP. You just need to go into TWRP settings and specify the default location for your backups.
As mentioned above however, you can just flash the official RUU to return to stock

Thanks a ton!
Just wanna say thanks to the both of you for your help. I went with option 2 for now because I want to switch back to CM after the Cardinals MLB game tonight. I never lost the backup and you were right I just had to find the folder. It was weird I didn't see any button to search for a folder kinda odd how TWRP is layer out in that interface. Yet I found the backed up file and took about 10 minutes from start to finish. The device is still unlocked to so I can reflash CM when I'm ready.
A little off topic but does anyone know what the difference between the GSM Cyanogenmod ROMs and the AT&T ROMs are? I have the Dev version but flashed the AT&T version and it ran fine made calls and had no data transfer issues at all.

Ok so I actually started having issues after that last post. What was happening was I kept getting this HTC system update my guess the Camera software update but whatever. So I clicked on the update now and it downloaded like normal then reboot. After it reboot it booted into TWRP recovery well at that point I didn't know what to do so I just went a head and rebooted into System. Well here is where the issue started it said again system update avalible ok great install, same deal it just booted back into TWRP after the download. Back into system I went and again same thing.
At this point I desided to go into TWRP and do a system restore and I thought that worked cause it wasn't notifying me immediately after the launcher loaded to install the update. So I checked for it manually and of course there was one. Tapped on Install it downloaded and asked to reboot so I did...
SAME ISSUE AHHHHGGG! Lol
This will be the end of me haha.
Is there something I'm missing here? Can I not have root access or a a third party boot loader like TWRP or both modifying the system. What am I missing?
Ok thanks again, sorry for the multiple posts I'm just so frustrated at this point.

This my very wild guess. Try flashing stock recovery first and then install the OTA update again. That's just my wild guess I'm not saying it will 100% work.

No luck

Hopefully this helps..
What I did find was this link here...http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc...ml#post2827047 that's where someone else is having the same issue but on Sprint I'm guessing. So that doesn't really apply to me. However a poster further down the thread gave another link to all these "nandroid?" files. I'm not really sure what a nandroid is haha I'm such a noob at this. Basically what they are saying is that unrooting it then i guess somehow putting this "nandroid" file on it somehow. Anyone have any idea on this. I'm terribly sorry for my noobishness but I'm trying to learn all this and it's really frustrating at first..
Here's the link to the nandroid files. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2207874 funny thing is that I actually found that link on Android Central website so that I could come back here and repost about it again heh. Anyways does that look like something that might fix the issue that I'm having?
Even if this file does help I have no idea what to do with it but that first link seemed to have some video's attached to it although I worry about following them because it's for Sprint and I really don't want to brick my phone. (another reason I am being so careful) You pay over 600 dollars for a device you tend to be super careful with anything you do with it.

Sorry about that.

All fixed!!
Ok so I got it. I ended up finding this http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unrootunbrick-the-htc-one-to-stock-2/
Worked great fixed everything. Linked to the RUU on HTC Dev website also so its official.:good:
So basically if Anyone need to restore to factory from a mess they have made follow this guide it works perfectly and he does an execelent job of describing how to do it in a video he posted step by step.

System partition not booting up?

I'll try to keep this one explained simple
- Was running have boot loader unlocked and am rooted, was trickdroid
- Decided to try what else was out there for ROMS, switched to Renovate rom, was a downgrade from trickdroid in my eyes
- Decided to switch to one more rom before making the jump back to trickdroid, accidentally wiped internal storage data along with everything else
- After wasting most of my day messing with this crap, I finally got everything back to somewhat operational again
- My internal memory and Cache at one point were unmountable and read 0MB, had to do a factory reset via boot loader then a full wipe using TWRP
- Finally have trickdroid installed and its semi operational, aside from the fact that when I load it, it instantly has no service, no internet, nothing. It sends me to the launcher portion and there are no apps on there either. Shortly after it starts it will restart the device.
-After doing several restarts into recovery I have confirmed that the system partition consistently unchecks itself and I have already attempted fixing permissions several times and doing a system wipe and full ROM install again.. same issue to no avail.
- Last night I actually managed to pull up icons and programs, somehow, but again there was no system being loaded up
A little help please? I am in a state of a soft brick at this point, which is not bad considering I had a SUPER HARD brick earlier.
Help me, please. I just want to get this phone back to a functioning state!

A hard brick is unrecoverable. It means your phone is literally as responsive as a brick. I would say your phone is pretty functional if the actual OS loads.
Anyway, have you tried RUU? That usually brings everything back to normal. Be sure to use the correct one, and note that you will lose EVERYTHING. Even root.
EDIT: Try this.

So I did try using this link and downloaded the full zip file and unzipped as per instructions of QBKing77 off of youtube, then clicked setup.exe within the folder which was unzipped, but after it ran through its setup process, nothing else popped up? I tried doing it as well through hasoons all in one toolkit but while that worked, it didn't work as expected and it just stayed at the black htc screen. I'm lost at the moment.

Trickdroid works on the Sprint variant?

We should add to the Q/A sticky the names of ROMs NOT to flash like Android revolution, trickdroid, etc.
P.S. He tried RUU, he's having trouble.

It wouldn't be as bad if the Int'l forum was marked so. If I were new, I would assume all HTC Ones are the same too.

Very true there are HTC One forums for:
International
Sprint
AT&T
T-Mobile
So it could be confusing to some

Hello from my finally unbricked one! Turns out I was having issues with the computer itself launching installshield so it wouldn't keep the factory RUU running. I did it from a different computer and it did it in stride.. I'm so happy to have this thing back. So on a sidenote I had to rwlock bootloader and then I had to reload the factory RUU.

HTC one (sprint) accidentally flashed a 4.2.2 rom

So I have screwed up pretty bad and now tried fixing the problem myself before asking for help.
Earlier I flashed Android Revolution HD 12.3 to finally realize that I didnt work with sprint, however I forgot to make a back-up for my phone. I have tried using adb sideload to install viper's rom v1.1.0 via TWRP. After the flash is complete and I click reboot, I get an error saying "No OS installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?"
If I swipe to reboot, I end up with a black screen with a toolbar at the top. I am totally lost and have been searching to forums for hours on end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I have been able to get viperROM to boot to the startup screen, however with a minute or so I get an error which states "Precess system is not responding, would you like to close it?" Then my phone restarts to the black screen.

You messed up your partitions by flashing that rom. From bootloader select factory reset to get your partitions back and then sideload your sprint rom and you should be set.
Or this method will work too.

I tried the first method and didnt have any luck. I did notice that when looking through the install folder, the .zips are no longer listed. However, when the phone turns on for a few seconds and I am able to open files through my PC, they are listed there.
Second method got me to the startup screen. As I attempted to connect to wifi, I had no phone service and also there was an error connecting to wifi due to "temporarily avoiding poor connection". Then the phone instantly restarted back to a black screen.

[SOLVED]
I followed instructions on:

You're lucky the partitions aren't aligned in a way that your hboot was overwritten. Otherwise you'd have a brick instead of a phone.

I know, I really lucked out. Took a solid 14+ hours of research and trial and error to figure out how to fix it. I had rooted my old evo 4G a few times thinking I still knew what I was doing, but that was a while ago. I should have definitely took some extra time to do some more research before I flashed.

This is why i don't flash roms from another section even though some have sprint version i just don't trust them

I flashed viper's sprint version of his ROM and havent been receiving text messages or phone calls. I think its time to just give up on keeping my phone rooted. I havent had any favorable results yet.

So I ran a RUU to get everything back to stock as described above, however I am no longer receiving text messages or phone calls. I can send them though. Would anyone know why?

did you try to update the profile and PRL? otherwise you might have to call sprint and manually program using your MSL through the ##DATA# menu

Totally Confused/Need help!!

So, i got an HTC ONE in august or so, and then i had it rooted last month or so, but i didnt really do anything. The problems all started going downhill last night. I was looking on how to update it to 4.3 Jellybean, and when i downloaded the ZIP, i went to my recovery(Teamwin or something) and installed it, but after that ,my phone would use like a black screen and not everything would work. So somebody suggested that if that occurs, factory reset your phone, or wipe it. And i did both, and then i ended up here. I have No OS, my screen is stuck on the "HTC-QUIETLY BRILLIANT" Page, and nothing works. The only thing that i can access is my bootloader and my recovery, etc. I am what you guys may call a half-way noob, i know a lot, but this topic is totally confusing the heck out of me. If somebody could help me fix this, i would owe them so much. Please help out a fellow HTC Oner.

Now, it says in the tutorial that you need to enable usb debugging and stuff, but how would i do that? All i need to do is install a stock rom so i can just get 4.3 and move on. I havent used my phone in a lonnng time and i need it very much!

I'm not an expert, but it doesn't seem too bad if you can get into recovery. First thing is to find out if you have a suitable ROM on the phone. If you inadvertently wiped internal data, you will probably need to sideload a ROM. If you do have a ROM on the phone AND you are sure it is one for the M7WLS, you can try flashing it again. If it were me, I'd download a stock rooted ROM and either sideload it or just push it via ADB. Your problems might have been the result of a bad download or installing a ROM for the wrong phone. If you did indeed flash a GSM ROM, the RUU is the way to go, but I've never messed with that process, so hopefully someone else will give you more details on that process.

Here use these for the drivers. Make sure you have no other drivers installed, if you do delete them and install those drivers. There should be a tutorial.

[Q] Help with random reboot issue,and general stability

ok, so i rooted my htc one to stock, using an ruu that was suggested by a user on here last weekend. it all seemed good, but on sunday, while i was working my phone rebooted itself, for no reason, however i thought it might have been because of a root app i had installed. i had to put it in recovery mode, and wait until i was off work to fix it, by reflashing it(i hadnt had a chance to make a backup in twrp). well i now have a backup of my phone, so yay, but and it hadnt forced a reboot until just now. the thing is it had been good all day today, and i had tried installing the MIUI Rom following a thread on here. the rom worked and all, but it also had issues such as data not wanting to connect, freezing up etc, so i went and returned to my backup i made today(when everything was perfect) and i made a phone call, and after the call the phone rebooted. and its back to its old ways. im restoring again to see if it helps, but does anyone know why it does that?

when my phone did that it was cause I had the unknown baseband issue. Could be worth a try to see if thats your issue.

Link to the MIUI ROM? Only install ROMs that you see in the Sprint HTC One section, not in the International HTC One section. Try flashing the latest radio to fix the phone call problem.
If that root app was SuperSU, then flash this zip.

the rom i use is from the sprint htc one m7 forums, it worked and i was able to make a call, but the screen hung alot and my buttons became unresponsive due to the assist thingy. upon a restart, i didnt have data connections. im kind of nervous about messing with my radio, because even though my signal sucks where i live, i dont want to mess up and not have a signal. i updated the SuperSU (i was using 1.87 and i flashed it to 2.02) hopefully i see no issues, but it usually takes a day and a half.

Flashing radio is your best bet. Verify the md5 before flashing and you'll be fine.
