Hi, I'm new here. I need help restoring my HTC One back to the stock ROM. It is with virgin mobile in Canada. I'm trying to unlock my phone from virgin but having trouble and figure it can be from being on a stock ROM.
I have been reading for about an hour and searching for the stock RUU. Before I forget, I'm running OMNI ROM on android 4.4.2 and have CWM recovery installed.
Anyways back to topic. I couldn't find any RUU's for my device but read on here that you can restore using a nandroid backup if you can find one. Now me and my brother both got an HTC One at the same time but I went through so many ROMs and customizing it. I started with CWM and made a back up of the stock rom but kept getting errors with some ROMs so switched to TWRP and couldn't use it anymore. With android 4.4 I needed to go back to CWM but in some point when tesering ROMs I only had 3GB free of space so did a wipe and fresh install so I don't think that the original back up is still there somewhere.
Anyways. I have my brothers HTC One here and that's stock. Nothing modified what so ever. Can I make a nandroid back up or use a tool to extract the firmware from his phone and somehow use it to restore my phone back to stock, unroot, relock boot loader and get rid of the *tampered* flag in fast boot?
The phones still on contract, only had it for like 4 months and thinking of giving it back and getting an upgrade to the One Max or when the One 2 comes out but I don't think Virgin mobile will allow me to since the phones been tampered with.

Hey guys,
Playing around with this stuff today for the first time.
I unlocked the bootloader, got a custom ROM on there and everything, but now i can't seem to install any other ROMs without going to S-OFF which i don't feel confident in doing yet.
So i want to restore my phone back to the stock telstra ROM, but i'm having trouble doing it.
I relocked the bootloader and ran the RUU (RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Telstra_WWE_3.25.841.4_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_246698_signed)
But the RUU only allows me to update and if i choose that it just fails completely.
I'm worried i've gotten my phone stuck on this custom rom i don't want.
what do i do?
Hey all,
so I recently flashed the MaximusHD ROM for my M7 on T-Mobile US. I love the ROM, 4.3 is great, blah blah blah. But right now, TWRP won't recognize my Nandroid backup that I made on stock 4.1.2. I need a Nandroid backup I can use to restore to Stock if I so need, OR a T-Mobile US ROM for M7 on 4.1.2, so I can relock my bootloader and use my RUU properly (if I relock my bootloader, MaximusHD won't boot, thus making me unable to use the RUU).
Unless one of you fine people can tell me how to get TWRP to recognize my Nandroid backup on 4.1.2 (it doesn't show up in the Restore window in TWRP).
Thanks!
Ps. This isn't necessarily an urgent matter, but I would really love to have these things settled before I need them. Also, I tried using the extracted ROM from the T-Mobile RUU, but TWRP wouldn't flash it, so now I'm stuck trying to find something else. Thanks y'all!

Everything you need can be found in the T-Mobile HTC One forum. I suggest you and everyone else look there for T-Mobile specific needs.
Hi There,
After just recently switching to Android I have been having great fun customising my phone in ways I could never with my iPhone.
I currently running the latest release of TWRP Recovery and Using the Android Revolution HD ROM.
While there is currently nothing wrong with my phone I was just wondering what my options are in terms of going as far back to stock as I can.
Being 1.54 I understand I will always have re-locked on my device until an exploit is found or if I fancied shelling out for a Java Card.
In the popular RUU, OTA, etc thread under the Nandroid section is a recovery which would be compatible with my CID.
M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID H3G__001 / 1.28.771.x
If I was to flash CVM and then proceed to restore this back and then flash the included recovery.img to my device 1. Would it work in the first place and 2. Would I be able to remove the Tampered warning.
Tbh I'm not overly worried about the warrenty. Espically being in the UK and our law covering things like this. But none the less I like being able to go down the simple root (See what I did there ) if I have to return the device.
Many Thanks and sorry for the noob question.

1. Yes it should work
2. No it won't
You might also run into issues as you have 4.2.2 FW and will end up with a 4.1.2 ROM which might lead to touchscreen problems
Thanks for the reply Eddy. Yeah I was afraid of the touchscreen issue. Will have to have a tinker around when I get time.
From what I have read I was under the impression when you put the stock recovery abd stock ROM back on the device abd relocked the bootloader the tampered message would go.
Guess not then. Best just hope I don't have to return the device or wait for a new s-off
Thanks again

I have had a Tmo HTC One since the day they came out. I rooted it, S-Off'd, Super CID, updated firmware and was running ARHD. Well the microphone stopped workng after a small drop and I had to have the phone replaced via Asurion insurance. I tried the warranty route, but I could not get the phone back to 100% stock and did not want to get screwed sending back an unlocked phone.
I just got my insurance supplied phone (I updated to the the 4.3 OTA from Tmo first thing) and being the glutton for punishment, I want to at least root it again and would love to run ARHD 30.x. In case of another warranty situation, I would like to make a backup of the phone in its stock state (recovery, ROM, etc...) and burn it to a DVD and put it away for safe keeping. Is this even possible? I cannot begin tell you how long I spent trying to get my original phone back to stock. I tried every tool, ROM and RUU and no luck. My understanding was because I updated the firmware and cold not go back down to a lower firmware and then I somehow relocked the bootloader and S-On'd and really screwed thing up.
The old phone is gone and is in the past, so whatever I did wrong doesn't matter. I just do not want to do it again this time around and anything I can do to create a safety net for the future, I will gladly do. My phone is completly stock running the Tmo 4.3 with 3.24 firmware.
What are my options?
fastboot boot recovery.img
But it stopped working after hboot 1.44, I dunno if it works on 1.55.
Otherwise you'll need to flash the recovery and find a stock recovery from eleswhere.
ok i have made a mess of my phone and am hopping that someone can help me sort it out. i am newbee to this.
i bought an htc m8 on sprint from ebay and shipped it over to ireland. so in order to try and sim unlock it so i could use it on networks over here i did a small bit of reading (not enough as it turns out). i unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery for sprint. i then downloaded a new rom thinking that it would also unlock my sim. i wiped my phone system before flashing the new rom but forgot to make a backup of my stock rom so there is no going back for me to that. so the way i sit at the moment i managed to get cm12 nightly to work its rooted with s-on.. i tryed using sunshine to s-off but it tells me i need to install a rom closer to stock. any rom i install wont work and i just boot back into bootloader.. i would like to get s-off if thats posable now and also install a rom that looks more like htc stock with sence on it...
thanks in advance
If you go to the HTC dev website, you can download an RUU to get back to Stock sense. Then after that you can S-Off and root and do all the other stuff you wanted
