Hi folks, long time listener, first time caller.
I have an HTC One (M7_UL) from EE UK.
Last year I unlocked, rooted and tried a few methods from XDA (toning down the crazy vibration, etc), then wanted to go back to stock in order to easily receive the 4.2.2 update that EE were sending out OTA. I messed something up and ended up having to sideload Teamwin recovery and the European 4.2.2 (2.24.401.1) ROM in order to have a working phone again. My own stupid fault. Have had no problems with it since and just left it as is.
However, I recently realised that I wasn't gonna get any more OTA updates, and having very little time to update to different ROMS myself these days, I'd kinda like to go back to the boring, easy life of getting the OTAs (probably six to nine months late, but whatever!)
I have been searching for a while but always end up with about twenty XDA browser tabs open and end up really confused.
The two issues I need to get sorted:
1) Does anyone know if EE UK have their own specific ROM, or if it is just the General European RUU that they send out? I can't find any specific EE ROMs anywhere, months of searching.
2) I only have access to Macs, not Windows machines.
Bootloader info:
TAMPERED

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

QUESTION - Can anyone help me return to a state where I can receive OTA updates from EE UK *using a Mac*?
I would very much appreciate your input, please bear in mind I am not a n00b but neither am I particularly advanced in this stuff. So basically… I'm a n00b :silly:

Thanks for the quick response cr1960!
First issue:
"First you need to be S-Off, this will NOT work with S-On!!!"
I'm S-On as seen in my bootloader info above. I've read it's dangerous to go back to S-On from Off, so does this mean I can't use this guide, ruling out going S-Off then S-On in order to follow it?

1- you can stay S-Off, it won't affect OTA updates
2- the only reason for going S-On (in my opinion), is if you're selling the phone or sending it in for warranty
3- it's not dangerous to go S-Off to S-On (unless you're using a modded hboot), however, if you do that on hboot 1.55+ it will very likely trigger a "tamper detected - rebooting" and TAMPERED is back in the bootloader, hence the guide says to go from S-Off to S-On at a very specific time.

Hi there,
Is it as simple as just flashing a stock rom (RUU)? If this is the case, which RUU version do I need, I have an unlocked phone (Europe, Belgium).
Need to revert back to stock because I need to get it fixed under warranty.
I am aware there are some guides on the forum, but I haven't found a clear one yet...
Best Regards

Thanks for the link. I've tried it and it all works, yet my phone is still S-OFF.
Bootloader gives this info:
-Revolutionary-
VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-3805.06.03.03_M
eMMC-boot
I'm not sure what they check in order to find out if the warranty is voided, but I reckon they'll stumble upon this info.

Yes now that you have the ROM installed, you need to remove S-Off and Revolutionary HBOOT if you want it completely stock to return for warranty.
Search this forum for the process to remove Revolutionary.
I've searched the forums and came up with yet again a number of posts all describing another process. I really don't want to brick it, so if you would be so kind to give me the link that'll work on my incredible s .

Follow the steps 2 - 2d in this post and then re-run the2.30.405.1 RUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15732727&postcount=14
Alright, worked like a charm. Thanks a million, now I only need to worry that they don't see the broken void sticker on the screws inside(wanted to see if my problem was due to a faulty connector) .
Hopefully all goes well
Hi,
Another noob question from me.
I recently bought a HTC One. I uploaded a custom ROM (was silly and didn't backup properly). I'd like to have the ability to restore the phone to a complete factory reset. I want the same, exact HTC ROM that the phone originally shipped with, and also no ***TAMPERED***, ***UNLOCKED***. I'll worry about the tampered and unlocked later (locking should be easy - but i want ***LOCKED*** not ***RELOCKED***).
My phone's info:
M7_U PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
Mar 15 2013,22:11:42:-1
I keep on running into deadends thinking I've found the factory stock ROM, but when I try to install it, I get errors like 'could not install'...
At some point I relocked the phone and the install went further, but eventually failed with a 'wrong model' error or something. Based on the model info above of my phone can someone point me in the right direction to find the correct ROM?
Thanks so much. I hope soon to be just as much of a contributor as I am an asker...
First of all you cannot get it to state locked it will always say relocked until a s-off is achieved where you will be able to downgrade hboot and second of all download the app below and post the results.

Thanks...downloaded. A long list of variables with no cut'n'paste...but here is maybe the relevant info:
ro.boot.carrier HTC-Asia-SEA-WWE
ro.boot.cid HTC__044
ro.boot.mid PN0711000
ro.cm.device m7
ro.product.module HTC One
ro.product.name htc_m7
Any other details I can provide?
I think this original RUU should suffice.

Okay, I am really new to all of this modding business.
I wished to install a stock android rom, simply because I preferred it over Sense.
I used the autoinstaller to install, Cyanogenmod 10.2.
Anyway, I done research and checked that you could use the EQ in the rom to sort of, replace the 'beats' audio, although simply it isn't good enough for me and I just prefer stock sense over the rom.
I didn't flash it myself, the application done it for me although there were a few hiccups.
I simply wish to unroot the phone, and lock the bootloader and just generally return it back to how it was.
I do not have any back ups, because the phone wasn't rooted before hand, the installer done this all for me.
Is there anyway I can return to the stock Sense
If it helps, I am living in Europe - England, and the phone is sim locked to EE.
Any help would be appreciated returning my phone to stock.
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure when you look for an RUU, you'll need to get one for the Europe release. Ignore the Cingular or Sprint variants.
There are plenty of guides, you can use the ones from clsA.
There are loads more:
http://android.sc/unroot-htc-one-re...roid-4-2-2-jelly-bean-firmware-using-toolkit/
For the official RUU updaters for full stock I'd use these:
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
Reboot the phone into boot loader and try to match the radio version with the RUU updater online. If you are in a lower version then it will update you. If you are on a higher version you won't be able to run it without gaining S-OFF and downgrading.
The RUU must be the same version or newer than the version you are currently running, but make sure it's the Europe version.
My S seems to already be on, so thats one step I would have to miss, although I am confused regarding which RUU I need, the data I have follows:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 1.54.0000
RADIO- 4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP - v31.120.274.0617
OS - 2.24.61.1
eMMC-boot - 2040MB

It seems for some RUU files I need S-OFF? I am quite confused, could anyone lead me to the correct direction please

There doesn't seem to be an RUU that you could use without gaining s-off and downgrading your hboot.
I think you may have to gain s-off. Then running an RUU after downgrading. I have tried to look for one you could use right now but they all require a lower hboot version.
Take a look at this:

Hey all,
My phone is having hardware issues, its ONLY just within warranty and its going to be returned for repair. Therefore it needs to look 100% un-tampered from a software point of view.
It WAS rooted, ROM'd and S-off'd but I have followed and guide, now the TAMPERED, UNLOCKED and S-OFF messages have all gone.
Now on hboot all it says is:
*****LOCKED*****

I don't think im 100% stock yet, I cannot get an OTA updates, when attempting it says none found. I'm on android 4.1.2... I know for a fact there are updates.
I came from a custom ROM 5.XX version so therefore had to downgrade but got VERY confused on which i needed, in the end one worked and it said online that i was pretty safe as it wouldn't let me install an incorrect version anyway. i installed the RUU.exe titled: RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4.exe
What alarms me is the version 1.20.401.1.1, is that okay?
Also why cant i get OTA updates? surely HTC will realise its been tampered with if it wont OTA update?

1.20.401.1 is a pre-release version and you won't be able to update it. Flash the 1.28.401.7 ruu which is the first official version. If you have followed nkk71's guide to return back to stock , you should have seen this:

Hello, so recently erased my phone and planned on using the RUU file I had used in the past to start off fresh because my phone was running like a turtle. The only problem was that the RUU I had used in the past would not work anymore. It would start up and either stay at step 1/5 checking headers for like an hour or it would fail completely. I am completely confused and just want help finding the correct RUU that will get me back up and running. I've tried several different RUUs but none have worked.
I have a US T-Mobile htc one and I relocked the bootloader already.
this is what I see as of now:
*Tampered*
*Relocked*

at the bottom it also says Hboot version is older, update fail. I was thinking this might be the problem too but idk how to fix it. I have no desire to get S-off or anything extra right now, I just need the phone to work like normal for now. If someone could help i'd greatly appreciate it . Also i'm not an expert so please go easy with any intense technical steps. Thank you in advance.
