Sorry - trying to delete this, posted in wrong forum
Hello,
I've spent the afternoon reading and researching and I'm confused. I'm completely new to this and would love some advice. I have an HTC One, I BELIEVE it was a Rogers phone, canadian - not sure if this matters. The person told me it was Rogers and all I did after was pop in the imei number into one of the unlock sits to unlock it. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any carrier updates when I finally figured out it had the Maximus 7 ROM installed.
So how can I tell if it definitely was a rogers phone? And does this matter if I want to restore it to factory?
It's currently not rooted, I checked with a root check app. The bootloader is unlocked. Can I follow mike1986's guide to restore it to stock?
These instructions specifically? He says only for users with .401 devices, how do I know if mine's a .401?
I've read and read and I haven't been able to find the answer. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Method 1 - only for users with .401 devices (for more info click here - RUU variants)
Visit this thread - [ROM] HTC One *STOCK* ROM
Download stock odexed version of most recent firmware and recovery.img
Move recovery.img to c:\mini-sdk location
Boot your device in recovery mode (power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "RECOVERY")
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard".
Navigate to the location of stock ROM (zip) package and confirm flashing procedure.
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device in bootloader mode.
Connect your device to the PC
Boot your device in fastboot mode (like you did during unlocking bootloader - power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "FASTBOOT")
Open up command prompt ( Start > Run > type cmd and hit enter ). The window that appears is called Command Prompt. <click here to see the image>
Navigate to where you unzipped "mini-sdk" package (type in Command Prompt: cd c:\mini-sdk). Note: make sure the path is not c:\mini-sdk\mini-sdk
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You have now stock boot, system and recovery partitions. Time to relock your bootloader.
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot oem lock

Prerequisites
1. YOU MUST BE ON THE FACTORY IMAGE (NO MODIFICATIONS that means no custom recovery, kernels, radios, etc)
**User Impo5sible says its possible with custom recovery and kernels I'm not 100% sure so YMMV*** *ANOTHER EDIT - USERS REPORT GETTING STUCK ON NEXUS LOGO if you have a custom rom/kernel and not using the -w command to wipe DATA)
2. YOU MUST HAVE ADB & USB Driver for the device (I used the SDK file from google and PDAnet)
SDK /w adb & fastboot Link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
PDAnet Link:http://pdanet.co/
3. ENABLE USB Debugging via Developer settings
(press the build button 7 times to activate it the "settings --> about phone --> Build Number --> go back --> Developer Settings --> Check USB Debugging)
4. Android 4.3 Image can be obtained from Google
Image Link: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
When you have all of this installed... you may proceed
Step 1: Use 7zip or compression program equivalent to extract the stock image file that is .TGZ
Step 2: You should see a stock image file that is .TAR...extract this once again with any compression program (you should see a butt load of flash files)
Step 3: Plug your device in the computer (USB debugging should be enabled & I recommend switching the transfer type to PTP/Camera)
Step 4: Launch command prompt (start --> run --> "cmd")
Step 5: type in command prompt "cd directory where you have the adb & fast boot"
for example here is mine "cd C:\Users\MC704\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130717\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130717\sdk\platform-tools"
Step 6: Verify that it is detecting your device by typing in command prompt "adb devices" (YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR DEVICE HERE ) if not recheck usb debugging & camera ptp... unplug and replug the phone back into your comp
**take a breather we are almost done**
Step 7: Turn your device off and go into fastboot mode (Hold Power Button + Volume Up & Down)
Step 8: Unlock your bootloader by typing in command prompt "fastboot oem unlock" [THIS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR DATA]
It will prompt you to unlock the Device
Step 9: Remember all those files you extracted from the ".TAR"? Copy them to the same folder where your adb and fastboot files are
Step 10: ****************VERY IMPORTANT************* DO THIS IN ORDER
I got these commands from the flash-all.sh file
Type in the command prompt each step one at a time and wait for it to complete
"fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot -w update image-occam-jwr66v.zip"
***NOTES FOR THIS STEP***
*REMOVE the -w from the last step if you want to keep your data (assuming your bootloader was already unlocked)*
***User chrisjcks noted you can use the flash-all.bat file that was in the zip to make life easier***
Step 11: Enjoy! If you do not plan on putting any custom roms or rooting etc. I recommend rebooting into fastboot mode (Hold Power Button + Volume Up & Down) when the phone is unlocked and type in the command prompt "fastboot oem lock" (you have to have USB debugging & PTP camera enabled)
If I missed out on any steps, please do let me know I will update the OP.

or you could just unzip it, and double click the Flash All bat file. :laugh:
My bootloader is already unlocked so I would skip step 8. In this case, would it still wipe all of my data since this is not an OTA or will it just upgrade my OS leaving the apps/data/etc intact? I've done this process many times before with the factory images, but I thought it always wiped the system.

There are always exceptions but I'll note that in the OP for people to see. I'd wrote the guide with the intention of a no failure rate or possible errors.
mc704 - in most cases that would be true - but the Flash-All.bat file is inside the ROM itself.
its as safe as you can get.
I'm on stock 4.2.2, but with custom recovery and kernel.
If I want to get those back to stock, can I just connect my device in fastboot mode, go to command prompt and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
?
I have the JDQ39 factory image, and will make sure everything is in the right directory.

To avoid losing data, unzip image-occam-jwr66v.zip with 7 zip.
Now use fastboot to flash bootloader, boot, radio, recovery and system. everything except userdata.

easy way
For me, All i did was extract the package and edit the .bat file and remove the -w in the code. Then ran it under fastboot. It updated my apps and updated to 4.3, no data wipe.
thanks OP got mine updated to 4.3 without -w

Who would like to remove root?
And to summarize:
If someone has stock rom, rooted, with custom kernel, all he has to to do in order not to lose his data and rooting is to flash everything except: system.img and userdata.img?
After that, he will have the update with all data still available?

checked it has to be 84 but what about opengl es
You will find other versions but this is how I did it and how I solved a few common problems. If you do it exactly following the instructions, you should not loose data. I flashed from Android 4.2.2 rooted.
1.You must have Android SDK installed. Download it here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. You will see a bunch of folders. The one we are interested in is the subfolder "platform-tools". You may copy it to an easier location if you want.
2. Download the factory image 4.3 for your Nexus 4: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jwr66v-factory-08d2b697.tgz
3. Unzip the file you downloaded and copy all its content to your "platform-tools" folder (where adb and fastboot are).
3. Plug your Nexus phone or tablet into your computer with USB debugging (activate it in "About Phone" and touch "Build number" 6 times, it will activate a "Developer Options" menu where you will be able to activate "USB debugging")
4. Verify ADB is working. Open a terminal, move the platform-tools folder and type "./adb devices". If it doesn't work (says offline), look here: http://www.thekirankumar.com/blog/2...ce-offline-issue-after-android-4-2-2-upgrade/
5. Reboot your device into fastboot mode: type in terminal "./adb reboot-bootloader"
6. - Type in the command prompt each step one at a time
"./fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img"
"./fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"./fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img"
"./fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"./fastboot update image-occam-jwr66v.zip"
It will then reboot (takes a while) and then you will be in Android 4.3 with all your data preserved.
Then if you want to root:
1. On your Mac, download TWRP recovery from here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/mako/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img
2. Connect your Nexus 4 (debug mode) and put it in fastboot mode (point 5 above)
3. In terminal mode enter: ./fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img (replace FILENAME by the file name of TWRP file you just downloaded)
4. Reboot your phone
5. Download directly from your phone this file (SuperSU): http://download.chainfire.eu/340/SuperSU/SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip
6. Shut down your phone and boot it in recovery mode (Once off, push vol+, vol-, and power all together). Choose recovery mode with vol-
7. Once you are in TWRP recovery mode push "Install", look for SuperSU file you just downloaded and follow instructions to flash the zip file.
That's it! You are now root. All your data are intact.

My data wiped too
I followed everything precisely on a completely stock Nexus 4 and it wiped my data too.. Not to critical for me since I dont do much with my phone so its not a bother but just for reference for others...
Well this method will keep your SD card contents, but will wipe your data/data on internal storage. So depends on what you mean by wipe

My Nexus 4 doesnt have an sd card..
I am sorry for those who have lost data but I did exactly what I have said and preserved all my data without any other manipulation. All my apps are still there, gmail accounts, WiFi passwords, etc... I am not an expert, maybe somebody will be able to explain when data are deleted and when not.
For anyone having trouble flashing on a mac, I kept getting a usb_write error when I tried to flash the system.img. Bootloader and radio flashed just fine, but not the actual rom. I got it working in windows and narrowed the problem down to either the version of adb and fastboot I was using ( they came from a zip in another thread called rootnexus4.zip) or the archive app I was using on macOS (The Unarchiver). Hope this helps someone.

It is better to download a fresh version of Android SDK (link on the first post) and then upgrade it following the method as described in the link in point 4. It seems that ADB has to be upgraded to work with 4.2.2 because 4.2.2 implemented a new security feature with certificate.
So, if ADB works fine, don't change anything but if it doesn't, upgrade to the newest version. If you don't know how to do it follow the procedure, it is easy.

Agreed. That's what I usually do, but was feeling lazy and the version of adb I had works for everything I've tried so far... Unlocking boot loader on 4.2.2, flashing numerous recoveries, radios etc. So I thought it would be fine. Of course, it is possible that my problem was the archive utility I used to extract the ROM and not adb related at all. Either way, I figured ppl should know in case it happens to them.
Must the bootloader be unlocked to do this flash? Have flash many roms with Windows PC but now Im a mac user and never flashed roms with mac and yesterday i tried and didnt get it is the an video tutorial on this?

also there is a motopocalypse.apk that may be easier (assuming it works on a 925) than the original tethered method you provided.

Your Explanations are as essential as someone needing to learn the alphabet.

i think you cant change the Frequency Bands because its need to change some electronic unit and find the electronic unit request its so hard
This is a "re-tread" of a post I previously made, taking an account of the steps I took to successfully update my Nexus 7 from 4.4.4 to 5.0. Note: This is for an unlocked bootloader, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader you will lose your data; consider TiBackup.
My Nexus 7 [WiFi] was rooted on 4.4.4, unlocked bootloader, but stock rom, stock system (as far as I remember). I couldn't find a walkthrough so I'll make one with my experience. This worked for me on my Mac, I hope this helps you.
In the end I didn't lose any data, still have unlocked bootloader and rooted with CWM Recovery & SuperSU (you can replace with TWRP recovery or CWM Touch if desired)
Directions ("./" = file path to platform-tools folder, if you 'cd' to that location the "./" will pull that location in the terminal)
1. You must have Android SDK installed. Download it here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
2. UNZIP and you will see a bunch of folders. The one we are interested in is the subfolder "platform-tools". You may copy it to an easier location if you want.
3. Download the factory images 4.4 (KRT16S) (4.4 required, see HERE, Google broke its own bootloader) and 5.0 (LRX21P) for your Nexus 7: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi (WARNING: Download the correct images for YOUR device, Nexus 7 Wi-Fi vs Mobile)
4. Unzip the 4.4 image file you downloaded and copy "bootloader-grouper-4.23.img" (img name depends on your build) to your "platform-tools" folder (where adb and fastboot are). (WARNING: the bootloader image in 5.0 is broken see HERE)
5. Unzip the 5.0 image file you downloaded and copy all content, except for "bootloader-grouper-4.23.img," to your "platform-tools" folder (where adb and fastboot are).
6. Plug your Nexus 7 into your computer with USB debugging (activate it in "About Phone" and touch "Build number" 6 times, it will activate "Developer Options" menu where you will be able to activate "USB debugging")
7. Open terminal and "cd" to the platform-tools folder
8. Verify ADB is working type "./adb devices"
9. Reboot your device into fastboot mode: type in terminal "./adb reboot-bootloader"
10. Type:
"./fastboot flash bootloader ./bootloader-grouper-4.23.img" (img name depends on your build)
11. If you have "WiFi Only" skip to step 12; for Mobile flash radio type:
"./fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"./fastboot flash radio ./radio-XXXXXXXX.img" (img name depends on your build)
12. Type:
"./fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"./fastboot update ./image-nakasi-lrx21p.zip" (zip name depends on your build)
It will then reboot (takes a while, 5-10 minutes on boot animation, then it must update App info, another 5-10 miuntes) and then you will be in Android 5.0 with all your data preserved.
Then if you want a custom recovery:
1. On your computer, download CWM, CWM Touch, or TWRP recovery from here: CWM Dwnld or TWRP Dwnld (WARNING: Download the correct image for YOUR device, Nexus 7 WiFi vs Mobile)
2. Place the image file you downloaded in your "platform-tools" folder (where adb and fastboot are)
3. Connect your Nexus 7 (debug mode) and put it in fastboot mode (step 9 above): type in terminal "./adb reboot-bootloader"
4. In the terminal type:
"./fastboot flash recovery ./FILENAME.img" (replace FILENAME.img by the file name of the CWM/TWRP file you just downloaded)
5. Verify Recovery - Shut down your device and boot it into recovery mode (Once off, push vol- and power together). Choose recovery mode with vol-, then power to select (Note: if you get an Android on his back you still have stock recovery, retry Steps 1-4. I flashed CWM, CWM Touch. and TWRP with no success, plugged my cable into a different USB port and got it first try; try different cables and ports)
Then if you want a root:
Note: If you don't have an unlocked bootloader you will lose data. Already unlocked should be fine, when you boot there should be an open lock at the bottom of the screen below the Google logo. On PC WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit might be your best option, for me on Mac it is not available so this is what I did.
1. On your computer, download CF-Auto-Root from here: Auto Root Dwnld (WARNING: Download the correct image for YOUR device, Nexus 7 WiFi vs Mobile)
2. Unzip the CF-Auto-Root file you downloaded and copy all its content to your "platform-tools" folder (where adb and fastboot are)
3. Connect your Nexus 7 (debug mode) and put it in fastboot mode (step 9 above): type in terminal "./adb reboot-bootloader"
4. Type: (Note: Step 4 commands need to be run as Admin)
"chmod +x root-mac.sh"
"ls -al"
"./root-mac.sh"
5. Follow on-screen prompt and type your Mac User Account password and ENTER
6. Let the phone go through its thing (Red Android screen), it will reboot when complete.
That is it!

Good luck and happy flashing.
Thanks for the effort.
Thanks ! I did that, more or less adapted. The result was just awefully slow, so I had to do a wipe to start with a clean slate.
Android, the new Windows: reinstall every 6 months....
I've followed the procedure on w8.1 64bit.
All went well but I lost adb after 5.0 finally booted. So I could not install root through NRT (1.9.8).
Adb mode was recognised in windows device manager but adb commands failed with no device found.
Suprisingly fastboot was working.
The solution was to uninstall NRT and adb drivers and reinstall them.
Great guide!!
Followed the steps to the 'T' and I've got Lollipop on my Nexus 7 Wi-Fi.
If the Bootloader is already on 4.23 then Step 10 can be skipped, as I did.

True, I was already on 4.23, but still flashed it anyways. Thanks for the input.
