[Q] How to unroot H3G_001

Hi all
I recently rooted my new HTC One. However, due to issues with the Barclays Mobile app not liking rooted devices (I've tried to get around this using instructions from this forum, but no joy) I now want to unroot.
My modelid is PN0710000, and my cidnum is H3G_001. There's no RUU for this, so I located a CWM Nandroid backup zip (courtesy of BugsyLawson and shrubz).
Am I correct in thinking that my route to unroot is as follows? ...
1. Copy downloaded file to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ location on device. (Do I leave as zip, or unzip it in this location?)
2. Unzip downloaded file on my laptop
3. Restart device in Fastboot mode
4. On laptop, flash the recovery and boot of the file.zip (i.e. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img THEN fastboot flash boot boot.img)
5. Restart device in Recovery mode
6. Flash the zip file in CWM
7. Restart device in Fastboot mode
8. Relock bootloader (i.e. fastboot oem lock)
Will that work?
Thanks all...I'm new to all this, but learning fast (I hope!)

Anyone able to help???

Just unroot the rom that's currently on the phone. SuperSU has a full unroot option in its settings.
Then stock recovery can be flashed via fastboot, but not really necessary.

Ah, that's correct, because /system partition is write protected after boot.
Flash the attached unroot-flashable.zip in CWM or TWRP, it will delete the su binary and Superuser.apk system app, which will unroot the OS.

Brilliant! That seems to have done the trick
Now, maybe you'll be able to advise why I can't flash
bugsylawson.com/files/file/1056-m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-h3g-001-128771x/
zip file in recovery? It's the correct modelid and cidnum...
I basically want to get my device back to as close to stock settings as possible.
Thanks again!

Hi buddy.
I've just unlock my htc one from 3 as well and I've been really stupid and forgot to make a nandroid backup, please can you upload anywhere or share with me yours please?? I really want to keep it if needed to go back.
Thanks very much mate.

Deleted OS by mistake ($35 for who can help fix)

Offering $35 paypal if anyone can give me step by step and download links on how to fix this!
I pretty much messed up my HTC One and I cant even load the phone anymore (phone just freezes at HTC One Logo when I power it on, never goes away) I'm also pretty new to this so simple steps will be appreciated..

No need for any $ at all.. Just
1. boot to TWRP.(Put off phone then power it on while pressing volume down)
2. Select Advance
3. Select ADB Sideload
4. Enable adb sideload
5. Copy a flashable zip of any custom ROM you want here in xda into the same folder as your adb.
6. Open command prompt and navigate into your adb folder.
7. type the command
adb sideload <filename of the ROM you want to flash>

Exactly what I was thinking BUT you did it in the wrong order, you have to wipe the data, dalvik cache and the cache partition and then do sideload.
Order is important or the device will not go anywhere.

Wiping data & cache is fine in any order as long as you wipe it before you boot the phone on normal mode It won't have any issues as long as you're still in recovery.

He can also copy the rom into sd with the code:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
and flash it

Hi greetings
i am not as good as you people
but dont you feel you all missed an important step at the end about flashing boot.img
extract the rom which you flash in pc and copy the boot.img file to abd folder.
now boot the phone into bootloader/ fastboot and connect to pc vai cable
your phone must show now fastboot USB in red
now type the following code

I have never used htc one nor the sideload command but i think we being s-on we need to flash the boot.img manually

Hi,
Im not sure if this works the same way like on HTC One S in example, but can't you just flash the stock rom using the related flashtool (or fastboot). Then root and install whatever you want...
Edit : I did this on several HTC phones I got for repair and it should work the same way - assuming HTC already released an stock Rom package.
I will do some research and report back. You can pm me and add me on gtalk.
Edit again: I found a stock rom package.

If you don't do the wiping first then a few files will be left over and you could wipe important files of that new custom rom.

Going back to stock
What you need to know before going back to stock:
Your bootloader will never be "LOCKED" again. You can't restore it. You can only relock it.
"TAMPERED" text in bootloader will disappear only after proceeding method 2.
There are 3 main methods. All three will be described below.
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

mini-sdk: http://goo.gl/T6InE (credit mike1986.)
make a folder in C such as: minisdk. Then extract everything in the compressed file to C:\minisdk. You should have fastboot.exe and adb.exe in that folder (together with other api file)
now, you should move the recovery image and odexed rom to C:\minisdk and follow the steps in my previous post.
Please read whole process before starting so you can have a clear picture of what you're gonna do

I suggest you to S-OFF your device so you can remove the tamper message/lock/relock/unlock your bootloader easily. Go to One Original Android Dev forum, search for a thread "s-off with revone" (usually at first page) and follow the instruction

[Q] backingup stock recovery???

I would like to know as to how can i backup stock recovery? Bcoz, i wish to go S-off and unlocked via Revone method, then flash TWRP, flash a few mods, and then get back to stock recovery , s-off, locked bootloader. Is that all possible. Does a nandroid backup, backup's stock recovery as well???
Thanks in advance guys.

You can't do a nandroid without custom recovery so that is out of the picture. OTA zip files however contain the recovery file you need.

If you're still on stock recovery at the moment - go into fastboot and command:
fastboot boot name_of_your_custom_recovery.img
This will just boot into custom recovery without flashing it. Do a backup and it will backup your stock recovery.

You'll need to download either CWM or TWRP. You can rename the download if you want to something like cwm.img or twrp.img to make it easier.
Once the backup is done it will be on your phones internal storage in the clockworkmod or TWRP folder - depending which one you choose to boot. Just copy it to your PC.

One question though... i bought this phone as a used, and it was Tampered and Relocked. When I selected the recovery option, it booted the phone to somewhat stock like recovery, and then after some process, the phone rebooted, and the phone was totally Factory Reset.... everything in the storage was gone too..... so is there an way to check if it is indeed a stock recovery, or this is the normal behaviour of stock recovery...?

You need to unlock your bootloader before doing anything with custom recovery. Use Revone or the official HTC Dev method

this method of just booting a custom recovery used to work with OLDER hboot versions. but it doesn't work with newer hboots. my hboot version is 1.54.0000 and when I use the command mentioned above, my bootloader menu just freezes!! guess I'll have to look for the OTA file then to find the stock bootloader!

Not sure if it helps as I was still on 1.44 HBoot, but when I tried the command while the bootloader was locked, my bootloader would also freeze and I had to do a hard reset. Once I unlocked my bootloader, the boot command worked.

first of all, you must have your bootloader unlocked in order to boot/flash a custom recovery. you can't do so if your bootloader is locked. and secondly, yeah, I also had the boot command worked out before I had the 1.54 Hboot. I guess this one doesn't allow 'just' booting a custom recovery!

Where did I go wrong?

Okay, so I have an HK m8 on sprint, FW 1.54.654.13.
I was originally on Viper 1.8.0, but wanted to upgrade to 2.0.0, so I went back to my stock backup, with the aforementioned software version.
After restoring that backup I realized I needed to also flash a stock recovery in order to take the OTA. So I flashed the 'Stock Recovery From 1.54.651.8 OTA' over adb from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736048
So, since flashing that recovery my phone seems to not have a recovery anymore; infact, it constantly reboots after about 1 minute of being booted to system. When I boot into recovery, I get a symbol of a phone with an "!" in a triangle over it.
Where did I go wrong? What recovery should I be using? I can re-flash TWRP, but it seems I still get the bootloop, even though it does actually boot into system (which I've never seen happen from a bootloop). It's been like this for 12+ hours, and no amount of searching has helped me out thus far, so I'm hoping someone here could help me out a little.

This is stock recovery
You could pull the stock recovery from the HK firmware...hopefully that will get you back to normal.
Worse comes to worse run the RUU.

I do not have the recovery.img in my backup. I'm also not S-off, so I think the only way I can upgrade my firmware is through OTA from what I understand, correct? If I could just flash the proper stock recovery I think I would be fine from there?

You can flash the full firmware while being s-on.

Alright, thanks! Can I go ahead and RUU 2.22.401.4 directly, or should I just RUU to my current stock firmware and just OTA from there?

After you install TWRP recovery, yes.

For future reference Viper does OTA's which are not the same as Sprint OTA's...download the Viper OTA and flash in twrp.

Yes, I am aware. But on 1.8.0 I did not get an OTA. Maybe because I'll get it after I upgrade my FW. So after RUUing then reinstalling TWRP, if I restore my viper 1.8.0 backup, I can just OTA to 2.0.0?

Should be able to...
But if you are going to RUU why not just download the full rom and clean flash.

I tried flashing the full Rom per your suggestion, but after flashing the 2.0.0 Rom, it's like my phone has no OS and can only boot to bootloader or recovery, not system at all.
I also tried extracting the latest hk ruu to the root of my external SD card and running it through bootloader to no avail.
I feel like I'm missing a vital part of information here. I've never really ruu'd before so I'm new to that but I'm pretty stumped on this whole thing.

get the drivers for your phone + adb, rename the firmware update to firmware.zip, put it in /sdk/platform-tools
put the phone in fastboot, make sure it says fastboot USB and type fastboot devices in terminal to confirm it's connected.
then type in terminal Fastboot oem rebootRUU (capitalization matters.)
your screen will go black with a greyish HTC logo, then type in fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
once it's done doing it's thing type fastboot reboot
this method is pretty much failproof
EDIT: also, if you're flashing ONLY the sprint 2.0.0 update, you'll have to be on capt's twrp 2.7.0.7, otherwise you'll have to flash the full rom, boot into it, reboot into 2.7.1.0, and dirty flash the sprint viper ROM. Hope that helps, cheers >;3

Thanks for the reply! From my understanding, you need to be S-Off for that method, which I am not.
The method I attempted to use is this one, from O.M.J's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
using 7zip, extract 0P6BIMG.zip to ext sd card
-boot into bootloader
-make sure*hboot*is highlighted, press power button
-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update
-press volume up & let it do it's thing...
The problem is, it scans my external SD card just fine but never asks if I want to start the update, nor do I get the option to press volume up etc... I am on captains twrp 2.7.0.7, as I've seen many other users confirm success with this recovery.
Also, I don't see just an update, it seems the Sprint version of the Rom I downloaded is the full rom. I actually did get it to boot once and got this (see screenshot), but it was a dirty flash.

Did you re-lock your bootloader?

download the full one and the sprint one, flash the first, reboot all the way (doubt you have to finish the automatic setup) then reboot into recovery and dirty flash the sprint one without wiping anything. It'll connect to the CDMA network instead of the GSM one with no problems, you don't even need to be on 2.7.0.7
And if it isn't working in HBOOT just go into recovery and adb sideload it, you shouldn't need to be s-off to do that. Enter adb sideload and just type in a terminal adb sideload (filename)
EDIT: idk why but that picture made me lol irl, KEEP CALM AND KANG AWAY

Alright giving that a shot now, thanks
That message is hilarious to me now, but it wasn't at the time xD
Edit: is it safe to dirty flash the first one, coming from 1.8.0? Also no, I haven't relocked my boot loader.

RUU won't run unless you re-lock the bootloader since you are s-on

Ahhh, okay makes sense now. My m7 was s-off and that was the first and last time I ever did a RUU. If I re-lock the boot loader, do I have to go through htcdev again to unlock once more, or will having it locked again not effect root?
