[Q] Struggling to Unroot Device

I wonder if anybody is able to assist at all?
I have a root HTC One M7 which I am having a lot of trouble returning to stock recovery. I am not using a custom ROM.
I've read multiple different forums and threads/techniques none of which I've been able to use successfully. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The device is running Android v4.3 and when I went to identify the CID = GOOGL001
Which files should I be using to reflash the recovery?
Should the bootloader already be relocked?
I've seen all sorts of variance in advice but nothing which seems to work, and right now I have a device that will not boot properly, likely as the boot.img one of the techniques suggested was no good.
Thanks in advance. :cyclops:

Was it unlocked when you bought the device, if so, flash any unlocked ruu, this needs to be done using fastboot

No it was locked.

Anybody else have any ideas?
the device is S-on and I cant change that as I can't boot the device through to the OS. Massive problems.

Has anybody discovered anything further on these devices with S-on? I managed to flash a Google Play edition firmware to the device which has it working and not rooted. However, it is not the correct firmware for the device and now I cannot update the device to new OS or some other things also like issues with WiFi etc..
Any help gratefully received. :fingers-crossed:

Hi Alray, thanks for your response.
I have an HTC One M7 device which was rooted to conduct some research. I am trying to return the device to stock, not as I need a repair, just as I need a stock ROM back on the device. Due to the device being set to S-On I understood that there were some issues doing this. Subsequently when attempting to unroot I had a number of problems. The device was bricked for a long time. I finally found a Google Play version ROM for the HTC One which worked, however I have not been able to flash the stock recovery and thus I can now no longer use the OTA update function on the device.
Does that explain well enough or is there anything I can share to help with an answer. Thank you for taking the time to write.

are you prompted there is an ota available.? If yes download it and extract the recovery.img file from the ota and then flash it to your phone.
Have you tried to restore your phone with this ruu.zip here?

Thanks for your response. I am prompted to update with an OTA KitKat update, however when selecting to update the device reboots to apply update but comes to Fastboot only and goes no further. How should I go about applying this update if not like that?
I am just downloading the RUU you linked to to see if that helps..
Thanks again.

You need this RUU, and because its a downgrade, you will need to s-off first and then flash hboot 1.44. After your phone will be back to stock 1.28.401.7 and you will receive ota to latest version. Follow this procedure and don't forget to thanks the OP for his awesome guide :good:.
The other option if you don't want/can't s-off is to use this rom (guru reset). this is the stock rom for your version, and you will be able to update ota after. Instructions for guru reset can be found here

Still not working

The first solution didnt work cause since i have no OS in my HTC so adb functions are not working, since adb functions are not working so i cant do an s-off
The second solution: i dont know how to get the zip file inside my phone cause i cant execute adb sideload, is there anyother way to trasfer the file to the phone or is there any other way of executing it guru reset.

Boot your phone in TWRP recovery, dont select any option, just let the phone boot in twrp main menu
then:
Code:
adb push name_of_guru_reset_file.zip /sdcard/
then in twrp select install, chose the .zip and follow instruction in aroma installer.

(SOLVED) M7 UL won't root, Unable to mount /Data /Cache

Hey guys,
My HTC One M7 UL (PN07120) is driving me nuts. I was trying to obtain root so I proceeded to unlock it through htcdev and did it sucessfully. My phone can boot normally. However I cannot root it. I checked to see whether it had damaged partition tables and got no errors after using the mkfs.ext4 solution. I tried installing several RUUs but when they don't failed with the "incorrect RUU" error, they just don't go past the "getting header 1/5)" step of the process.
I have explored several threads with issues that might look like mine, but they end up not being. I will post my getvar info and the names of the RUUs I've been using hoping to find someone kind enough to give me a hand.

Post a screenshot of your bootloader
The RUU's wont install because your S-On and it will only allow same version or higher
the RUU you require is this one...
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_M...5_signed_2.exe
However since your bootloader is unlocked, you could flash a recovery and root from there..
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
Put the recovery in your adb folder and from there
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then enter recovery and make a backup of your rom.
when you exit TWRP, you will be prompted to root your device

How are you trying to root, and how does it fail? Please provide all the detail you can.

It just doesn't root because the files (su.zip or superuser.zip) are not to be found anywhere thanks to my inability to write /data. I am going to try @bored_stupid approach and see what it does.
EDIT:
I had flashed this recovery before with success. The problem is it says "Unable to mount /Cache" or "/data" whenever I try to either backup or install a rom respectively. It does offer to install Su.zip when exit, but it fails to do it because when I check it with root requiring apps, o root checkers, they all say the same: No Root.
EDIT #2:
I was able to install a custom rom!!!!!! All problems got fixed after @bored_stupid approach. Thank you very very much. However, before trying the custom rom I did try to install su.zip when exiting TWRP and, differently to the other tries, it did partially write (confirming that /data was finally writable.) I couldn't, thou, install the Binary when phone booted. I will be trying some other roms and have some fun with the device.
One again. Thanks a lot!!!

Glad i could help
It might be worth downloading the RUU too, Just in case you ever need to go back to stock.
Enjoy the new freedom rooting brings

Cant downgrade from gpe / 5.01

Hi, Hope this post is in the right place, apologies if not.
I recently got a HTC One (M7) which was already unlocked, S-OFF and rooted and had 4.4 on it but i wanted to upgrade that OS so installed GPE and then it updated a few times to 5.01 which was all good but now i want to go back to 4.4 and this is the problem i'm having.
I'm in the UK using a O2 UK RUU file which i know does work but now when i go to use it i get as far as 'Checking Header' (5%) and thats it ..it wont go any further? I have tried in compatibility mode but that just returns errors.. I am using Fastboot & ADB tools and tried pushing the firmware but i'm really quite a novice when it comes t stuff like this ..
I tried fastboot getvar and all i get it a list of commands now which i dont understand
I do know my CID is 111111
Here's the Bootloader Info:
*** UNLOCKED***
M7 UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID 11111111
HBOOT 1.54.0000
RADIO 4T.30.3218.21
OPEN DSP v34.120.274.0429
OS 5.11. 1700 .3
All i want to do it flash the phone back to original Stock with OS 4.4 ..
also, when i try to go into recovery it wont let me, i get the green android laying on his back with a red exclamation on him and pressing up with power dont take me into recovery.
Any idea's please?
I would like to thank xda and it's members for all the help previously.. thanks guys

Flash the firmware that matches your RUU first
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then flash the RUU ... RUU gets stuck on the Hboot update step, flashing firmware first eliminates this problem

Hi and thank you for your help.. i tried looking for the correct firmware.zip but after trying to flash it i get errors and 'fails' i'm not exactly sure which firmware i should be using - i did go to HTC site and selected what i thought were O2 UK FW files (1 was MR 3, 1 MR2 and 2 x zip files) so i assumed the .zip files were the FW files but its with these i got the errors. When i flashed them it did read them but aftr a few seconds returned a fail.
The RUU i am trying to put back on is RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_O2_UK_4.20.206.16_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353143_signed_2 which i know works on my device as i used it before i installed the GPE.
Any ideas please? I'm sorry i cant provide any more information.

Well you phone is having a bit of an identity crises
you have hboot 1.54 ( assume it's the Dark bootloader for GPE)
your Firmware version is 6.x.401.x which is for the International version
and your CID is O2
I'm going to recommend you convert to International by changing you CID
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
then flash this firmware
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407574077
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
followed by this RUU
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe
or
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 - 1.50 GB

Maybe a little late but you could also try this:

Go to post #2 and follow those instructions. Then flash whatever RUU you want.
I converted to GPE one time, didn't like it and also had trouble getting back to KK.

Thanks again for the help.. much appreciated - im using TWRP v2.7 and wiped the whole phone by accident - i'm trying to push (adb sideload fw_4.19.401.9_custom.zip) but keeps coming back as no device - i have a yellow exclamation in device manager under 'other devices' 'one' and cant seem to find a windows 7 driver for this? once i can push or sideload the firmware i can flash it correct?
Thanks again

So to refresh my memory, you were on stock GPE and want to go back to stock sense correct? Now you have wiped the phone using twrp and twrp is all that is left?

Yes thats correct - i'm new to all this flashing stuff but have been reading lots of various posts on xda ...
This is whats returned from fastboot flash:

i really dont know what to do now - i have all the correct files in the platform tools folder where i run the fastboot & adb commands (firmware & ruu) and have changed the CID to HTC___001
When i'm in recovery mode (TWRP) i get the yellow exclamation (screenshot hopefully attached)

First you need to get the driver working. Click on "one" and see if you can select from a list of devices on the pc. Now if the last working firmware on the phone was gpe then you need to push/sideload a gpe based Rom. This is because the partition structure is different than sense. You need to get a working Rom onto the phone first.

Help Me Please ASAP VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

Hi, im a complete newbie and recently decided to change the ROM on my HTC One M8 Sprint (Unlocked, Rooted, S-ON) phone. This phone was rooted and had ViperOne M8 1.8 Installed in it when I acquired it. Few days ago, following some threads I made a Titanium Backup, a Nandroid backup (Uncompressed) and then tried installing CM12 in the phone. It showed an error saying bootloader 3.18/3.19 is needed and I have 3.16. I then tried to restore my Nandroid. It shows success but then gets stuck in a bootloop. It is now soft-bricked, and I cannot get any ROM to work. I tried installing ViperOne 2.0, it shows success but doesn't boot. CM12 is also showing the same error and ViperOne is not working. I really need to get this fixed ASAP please help!!!! I dont know how to update the android also!!!!
HTC One M8
Harmon/Kardon Edition
Sprint
Android 4.4
Unlocked, Rooted
TWRP v2.7.0.2
Btw, I had a custom boot animation that I had flashed, and it still plays. Just FYI.
I wanted to install a ROM with android 5.0.x and keep my phone up to date and was frankly bored with the old interface!

Try updating your twrp

I really dont know how to do that. I am a newbie!
