Hello all...
I recently got an HTC One and decided to root it but now I am unable to get the 4.2.2 update.
Ive tried to find a way to revert back to stock but so far no luck.
I've only been able to get it back via a factory reset but the Team Win Recovery Project
and bootloader is still present and halts the 4.2.2 update.
phone details are...
Android version : 4.1.2
HTC Sense Version : 5.0
Software Version : 1.29.206.16 CL175272
HTC SDK API Level : 5.12
baseband 4a.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L
CID is o2__001
Is there an RUU I can use to revert it back to stock?
Ive looked around but couldn't find an appropriate RUU
Only thing I have found is the OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_O2_UK_1.29.206.11-1.27.206.1_P_release_315484
Would using this in TWRP get me back to stock so I can get the 4.2.2 update?
ANY help would be hugely appreciated!!!

I don't know if this would work but...
I have a nandroid backup of my O2 UK One.
This was taken prior to upgrading via OTA to 4.2.2.
Upgrading to 4.2.2 meant my hboot became 1.54.
I now find that if I restore my backup that the touchscreen is completely unresponsive - as far as I can tell because of the hboot upgrade - as any 4.2.2 roms work fine - and a nandroid for O2_002 (Germany) which was prior to 4.2.2 exhibited the same behaviour.
What I'm suggesting is, if you haven't yet upgraded to 4.2.2 yet - then you may be able to use my backup to restore your phone to a state ready to receive the OTA and upgrade to 4.2.2.
Yup - I'm not too sure it would work either! WE could both do with someone with a little more experience to advise us here!
However - I'm willing to provide the backup - but I would ask one favour.
If it works - please, please, make a nandroid backup of the completed update (i.e. O2_001 4.2.2) and let me (and probably quite a few people here) get their hands on it!
As you've probably noticed - O2 variants are not well catered for either here - or indeed anywhere on the net.
If you want to give it a try PM me - and I'll provide a link so you download it and try it out.
hmmm

Well I'm back on O2 (thanks for that Gandalf) instead of the Euro ROM+SuperSID I was using before but still can't get it to update to 4.2.2
Just can't seem to get back the stock bootloader..
even when unrooted, locked(relocked)
played about with various recovery.img like has been suggested, no joy
Is there a way to manually update?
I'm absolute newbie at all this hehehe

You need to be unlocked to flash recovery.
The image supplied contains the original stock recovery.
ADB fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also - probably flash the boot image
ADB fastboot flash boot boot.img
Relock - OTAs require that.
Also - have you reverted to your original CID?
Keep trying!
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Now I've woken up!
1) Make sure you're unlocked and S-Off
2) Change your CID to O2___001 ( that's 3x "_") - fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx
3) Extract boot.img and recovery.img from backup provided.
4) Place these files in the folder on your PC containing your fastboot file.
5) Connect the phone in fastboot usb mode
6) fastboot flash boot boot.img
7) Restart in recovery mode
7a) Personally I'd wipe everything here - data cache etc.
8) Restore backup
9) Restart to bootloader usb mode
10) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11) fastboot flash oem lock
12) Reboot
You should now hopefully have an HTC One running 4.2.1 with a locked bootloader and the correct CID - OTA should work now.
If anyone reading this knows different or can point out any mistakes or best practises please do so!
well no joy so far
Given up on going back to stock at the moment, having too much fun with modded roms etc.
Tried multiple ways to get back to stock recovery and the strange thing is I can flash between various recover.img/boot.img and swap between the clockworkmod and TWRP but the stock recovery.img seems to not over write during the flash.
Each time it reverts back to the custom recovery with the
"entering recovery... this build is for development...
(I put the superCID back to default but would it be because it detects the S-off ?
from what I've read I didn't think that would matter tbh)
BUT..
I can now swap between the various custom ROMS/Nandroid backups with ease using clockworkmod, Rom manager and CWM Backup manager.
fun times!!!
From what ive learnt, 4.2.2 has a different method of saving backups to a hidden file that hasn't been showing up when ive tried to transfer the back-up to my computer. Even CWM backup manager has failed to pull the hidden backup across and show it as a visual file in pc that I can transfer across..
Maybe this is because of the lack of dev options in the Android Revolution HD-One 2.0 GE ??
and having to just use the HTC One as a "Media device MTP" rather than the usb with debugging ??
(or am i just missing something here?)
But.. have found Android Commander for the pc which has helped a lot with this
and now I'm learning a bit more about the file structuring in Android..
Anyway onwards, upwards and outwards ..
just scraping the surface of the Android os so far...

As I understand it the "dev purposes only" is because you don't have a signed boot.img.
The boot.img I supplied with the backup should be signed - did you copy it from the backup and place in your adb folder to flash prior to restoring the backup? Though, saying that, I thought if you were s-off that the boot.img would be restored as part of the backup. I'm at a loss as to why it doesn't work.
Likewise with the recovery.img.
As regards backup - try reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34116836 or alternatively use 6.0.3.1 as that older version allows for transfer/restore to/from external sd card via OTG cable - slowly tedious but it works.
Ah well - have fun - I'll have to wait until the devs fix revone to allow s-off with 1.54 so I can revert my hboot and restore my backup in order to achieve stock O2 rom and OTA .

You're welcome.
The reason I want to be able to restore to pure stock is to cover my ass if the phone ever needs to be returned under warranty.
Because of the 1.54 hboot update a lot of people are frustrated because they can't s-off and choose what they wish to do with their phone.
Fortunately - as I still have that nandroid I'll be able to downgrade my hboot, s-off and restore back to prior OTA - as soon as revone is updated.
Guys a little help here as well
I am lost tbh I have android version 4.1.2 software no. 1.29.206.16...bought it from O2 UK. I feel so helpless cz I am new with this stuff and I have no clue how to remove the stupid TWRP thing and unroot my htc one and update it to 4.2.2. Can any one pleasee tell me how to do it...as step by step guide please :'(
I'm stuck...
Hi guys, ive just purchased a rooted UK O2 phone running google play software and was wondering if you had the stock Nandroid or any kind of way to put my phone back to stock?

Hi,
I have an O2 HTC One. CID is 002 I think. I have S-On at the moment, but I am in the process of trying to get S-Off so that I can remove the ***Tampered*** and relocked signs.
I dropped the damn thing down the toilet and need to send it in for repair so I just wanted to make sure they dont get funny about repairing it when I have installed custom rom, because the reason for me sending it back is not due to that!
I have been searching the forums a bit and have found a nandroid backup of O2 rom, so will try that. The Android Rev 51 rom I have at the moment will not let me gain S-Off with rumrunner - always gives me an error. Going to try stock and see what happens.

Follow my guide to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
you can use:
Code:
nandroid [B]O2___102 1.27.206.1[/B]: ro.aa.modelid=PN0710000
ro.aa.cidlist=O2___001,O2___102
if it matches your "fastboot getvar all" (MID & CID)
but first you need to S-Off.

I checked your guide and gained S-OFF with firewater, much quicker and smoother and more importantly, actually successful as opposed to rumrunner!
One more question, the downloads for the backups are fairly slow and Im halfway done downloading M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID O2 102 3.62.206.1.
Is this version just an updated one vs the 1.27.206.1 2013-03-30 ?
Which should I use?
Thanks
hello everyone I have a HTC one stuck on boot. To start, it was working fine then i started to get it unlocked(gsm) to use it on gsm network.
I was able to unlock boot loader, root it but i was not able to unlock it with terminal from the instructions provided from other threads nor the application from google apps the message said it was not a sense rom. I kept reading then i found out i was suppose to put viperrom so the app could run but after i put that the phone started fine but the touch stopped working so i was in step one.
I kept on researching and found out about the drivers and read that i was suppose to put bad boyz rom i download it but I'm not able to load it on the phone. I have a macbook pro, i have parallel desktop where i run windows 7, and i also tried from mac Terminal to no avail is been over a week now i been messing with this. I also tried the stock restore to put it back to stock but nothing. when i start the phone this is some info i find on the menu I'm new to HTC ever since i had the htc pro 2 so your help yowl be greatly appreciated it

Hi, new here I recently got a sprint Htc one running hboot 1.57. In my over zealousness of flashing a rom I accidentally formatted the entire system (everything got erased :/ )..... is there anyway to fix this or am I stuck with a brick til/if most recent ruu is released? I'm able to run fastboot and recovery mods, that's about it though. can some one walk me by step through fixing this or let me know how screwed I am? I'm available here or via Skype for instant response if any one wants to hold my hand and walk me through fixing this?
Look HERE the latest RUU is linked or you could follow the guide.
With a little search you would have found the latest RUU.
I'm sure this is a big issue that is posted often, but no other posts have been able to help me.
Now MONTHS back I rooted my HTC One M7 using the guide on htconeroot.com. I realized I really have no use for a rooted phone so I've wanted to unroot it for awhile. I factory reset my phone, which didn't work. so I used this guide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g5gEf2wgS4.
I got my fastboot relocked, and the RUU shown in the video didn't work. I figured it was because the images did not match. My phone had the image 5.05.651.2. And after googling I couldn't find an ruu exe of the image so I tried to flash it using commands like fastboot oem rebootRUU, then fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (firmware.zip being a renamed zip of 5.05.651.2). It said that it transferred over but upon rebooting my phone nothing changed.
After trying to flash it a few more times with no change I decided to try the main RUU on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856#53755358. I set everything up like the original guide and so far it's the only one to do something different. A progress bar finally popped up on the black HTC screen, but the phone quickly rebooted back to the black HTC screen and the program on the computer stopped making any progress same with the phone. Now on the bootmenu it says my os is 6.23.651.6 in red text.
I'm here to ask if anyone knows what I can do to unroot my phone since no other guides I have had worked, and it seems no other people have the same issue as I.
This can actually be very complicated. I own a GPE so I don't know the HTC Sense way around it. There is a guide called "How to got back to stock" or something like that. That should work. Is your phone S-Off? For further reference, it's always easier to sabe a nandroid backup of your stock phone before rooting.

I'm not to sure what you mean. I believe s-off isn't an issue.
Yeah I turned it to s-on and the RUU still is not working.
Hey all. Been browsing the forum to try to figure this out on my own, but I honestly don't understand this stuff enough to decipher what I need to do next (my experience is with x64-based PC systems).
So let's start off with the background as to what happened. Went back to using my Sprint HTC One as my Samsung S6 Edge decided to go for a dip in some water (yeah, I know). Anyway, I hadn't used the One in almost 2 years so as you can imagine, it was extremely out of date. I had forgotten that I had rooted the device and was running Cyanogenmod on it as well (with TWRP), so I attempted to reset everything to stock (stock ROM and recovery) in order to get OTA software and firmware updates.
After browsing the forum a bit, I decided to use the GuruReset with Aroma installer to reset everything to stock (running the tool through the TWRP recovery on the device itself). It seemed like it worked just fine, but upon reboot, it now just sits at the bootloader and none of the options really do anything (just reboots it back to the bootloader again). I will list a readout of what I see on my screen and hopefully you guys can help out a fellow nerd (and admitted Android noob) figure out this issue.
Btw, I have already attempted to use the HTC One Toolkit v3.3.0 (EoL) to no avail (whenever I try to use one of the options in the toolkit, the program crashes). Running Windows 10 on my PC.

That's basically what I did to cause the problem in the first place. Had TWRP installed with Cyanogenmod from a couple years ago. Went to reset it to stock ROM and stock recovery. Now it just sits at the bootloader without doing anything. Doesn't even seem like there's a recovery on it at all.... Basically, the flash to stock failed from what I can tell and now there's nothing on it to load.
Try reFlashing TWRP on it, and look for the original rom
I still have no idea why you want the original recovery. but well, your choice
Also the thing is you might have just deleted the whole recovery , from what I know when you flash a custom recovery you overwrite the original recovery, so when you removed it completely
sorry , I am a newbie as well , I barely managed to fix my own m7 but now it works fine with cyanogenmod 13

Can you please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei, meid and serialno before posting)
What version of Guru reset rom did you flashed exactly (link) ?
I think it would be better to flash a RUU and have everything back to stock (wating for your getvar)
Btw twrp got overwritten by the stock recovery when flashing the Guru reset rom, that why twrp isn't there anymore.
