[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:

What do you mean here? What is your issue with the device and what is your goal?

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.

[Q] Softbricked and in Tears

Dear Community,
I've bricked my HTC One by trying to install a custom rom. The device is Rooted but S-ON. HBOOT is 1.54 Unlocked BL
I spent about 7 hours trying to get out of the brick but with no success.
The following problems are making it difficult
- I cant use ADB since i am confined to the bootloader or the Recovery
- In CW Recovery I am unable to mount USB,,SD Card or System Partitions in custom Recovery (there seems to be a bigger problem in the partitions, somehow I managed to mess these up as well)
- I tried installing RUU but it fails in the middle of the process
- I can"t get S-OFF since the ADB is not working
- The Device has a base version of 2.xx so I can't flash the older RUUs I assume
- I don"t know which exact RUU version i can use to Flash via Fastboot.
With the limited tools that are at my disposal, how can i unbrick the phone?
I would really appreciate if someone could provide me with the exact steps to get this thing working again. I know, I messed up and made some stupid mistakes but I am sure as hell sorry for it !!
Thanks everyone!

get this file instead
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-111-3-zip/
then you can put it in your adb/fastboot folder and rename it gurureset.zip
then simply
adb sideload gurureset.zip
or adb push gurureset.zip
be careful not to rename it gurureset.zip.zip

Thanks, thats quite a find! Download will take a while since I only have 5mbits. How do I proceed? Do I push through ADB and install it VIA recovery? How about the Bootloader, do I need to lock it first? and also, what"s the problem with the paritions? why cant I mount them?
Thanks!

no need to lock the bootloader
this file flashes the same as a rom in recovery and uses Aroma
in the Aroma choose NO to stock recovery / and Radio
and choose Yes to Root
adb push will work just fine just be patient

it"s looking rather spicy my friend. I sideloaded the file and now its installing! Cross my heart and hope to die.. we will know if it works in a few minutes. I really thank you for your emergency help !! People like you make the community worth while!
THANK YOU

So far the progress bar has not moved at all. installing is still as 0 percent. Lets hope something moves
I suspect that the file systems or partitions are corrupt. Thats why I am unable to mount some partitions. Is there any way to fix it before I retry flashing the rom?

I wiped again with the recovery and now it seems to be installing. Lets see what happens !

It works! Thanks !!!

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

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.

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?

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.

its an issue with flashing a custom recovery, post your fastboot getvar all please without imei and serial number and we can probably tell you what you version main is.

yeah twrp had a bug that hides the mainver... I can tell you first hand if your on hboot 1.54 your software version is 2.x or 3.x at the highest
and the lollipop roms are not going to work until you update the firmware (7.x)
Flash an old Stock Rom like this >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22071
and use Rumrunner to get s-off

your phone is already s-off, you can flash any RUU you like, then update to the latest, then flash a custom recovery and then flash Venom rom if thats what you want.

Yeah I just got that one done but whenever I type
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and then fastboot flash zip 6.09.401.5-FULL_STOCK_WIPE.zip
it just says "<waiting for device>" waited for 30 minutes and nothing happened :s rebooted 5 times and tried same process every time.
Thanks for the quick responses!
EDIT: fastboot oem rebootRUU works but the fastboot flash zip doesn't.

when you get to RUU mode, check your computer see's the phone in device manager, waiting for device is a driver problem.
and just flash straight to 7.19.401.2, follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944 download much further down the page, make sure you get the right one, 3rd one up from the bottom.

Well around 10 minutes ago it randomly worked.. But you think if I flash 7.19.401.2 I could get the venom 8.0 ROM up and running?
Sorry for the stupid questions :d
EDIT: I'm retarded, sorry. Found the answer: yes
ViperOne 8.0.0 (March 8)
Re-based on 7.19.401.2
Thanks so much!

not stupid, better to ask, are you after stock rom at all or just want to get your firmware up to speed ?
if you dont want stock rom at all, then no point flashing that file, just flash the firmware for it from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934534374
then flash twrp 2.8.5.0 recovery, copy viper to the internal storage and flash it.

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!
