Hi,
I just wanted to return to stock via nandroid and locked the bootloader, flashed stock recovery, removed root, changed my CID back and got to S-OFF.
Everything was fine. I was "LOCKED", not "TAMPERD" and had SOFF with a working stock android and stock recovery.
Then i updated via an OTA to 4.4, but during the installation i got an error: "...metadata recursive some changes failed..." or something like that.
Now the phone does not boot anymore (stuck at "htc one"-screen) and i don't know what to do.
There is no RUU available for my CID (O2___102), i have only the stock recovery and i am S-OFF.
Is there anything i can do?
Edit: i think this post belongs in the "One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" Forum but i don't think i can move or delete this post, so if a mod could move it that would be great, thank you!
Can you boot to bootlader ?
If you can get to boot loader you will be fine with s-off hold power volume down

You need to post this on the Downgrade thread and supply some more infomration. What state was your phone in before you started the downgrade? HBOOT version, ROM version, etc.
If you could posts the exact steps you used and how you answered the questions when you ran the script, that would be helpful also.
Not a very helpful OP. Was your bootloader unlocked when you attempted the downgrade? You do know how to enter boot mode (volume down + power)?
well, before i downgrade my device. It was in android 2.3.5 and htc sense 3.0 and also the hboot before downgrade was 2.01.0001. So i need to downgrade the hboot to root my device.
I was using this thread for my downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1373697
So now my device only stuck in the HTC logo screen and I can't do anything about it. I even use the bootloader which i need to press vol down+power and factory reset it and still its not working. I did wipe all the cache and everything but still wont give me any result.
Now my current hboot version is 1.13.0000 and it is still S-On
So is there anyway for me to recover back everything from where it was before? or possible to make it root and use it normally?

Run the ruu again, the one you downloaded from my thread. Take note of any errors that occur and post the results here.
You should intalled Rom Ship use gold card
Successfully gained S-Off and Unlock via Revone. Needed to revert to return phone. Successfully locked and gained S-On, although "tampered" appeared on the b/l screen...
Problem now is WiFi no longer works. I cannot flash a complete ROM via RUU, it fails at updating signature. I cannot flash an OTA zip for the same reason. I cannot enter recovery - all I get is the red triangle.
I cannot regain S-Off, or Unlock (via Revone). Error 2.
I've tried firmware.zip - many parts fail. Although my ROM version is now dated April 12th not May 3rd.
Other than WiFi and tampered, the phone works.
I'm stuck!
You should have done s on only when everything else is stock, your lucky your phone even turns on.
I would try to re unlock it, flash a custom recovery and flash a rom get it working again. Then s off and try the whole going stock procedure again.

It won't unlock from Revone
Unlock by flashing the unlock token from htc dev

Done that. However, if the bootloader's knackered, or partly so, a Custom ROM won't flash a new bootloader. Not sure why I need the interim step. My idea was to S-off now unlocked a try RUU again

Hi,
is it possible to backup a stock htc one, as shipped from new before rooting, so that i can restore back to stock. I know this is possible on tablets I have had in the past by running recovery via fastboot from a pc, but how can this be done with a htc one?
Yes. This works like a charm if you do it properly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
P.s., it works on the HTC One. Not only on Nexus.

I think fastboot boot recovery.img stopped working with 1.54, but it's worth a go. Anyway, there are plenty of stock recoveries floating around.

I did ask HTC to reflash stock (as when received from ee) so, hopefully I will get 1.44 bootloader. I am pretty sure I flashed recovery via fastboot on 1.54 previously after the last repair. I'll see if my memory is correct tomorrow hopefully. Its seems so long since I had the htc one I have forgotten. I have been playing with the s3 for nearly two weeks now. Hopefully I will have a crack free htc one tomorrow, else I suppose it will be another two weeks!!
I'll update here.

I said fastboot boot, not fastboot flash recovery.
fastboot boot would allow a nandroid backup of stock recovery.
Doooh. My bad...

Hi,I should be getting my htc one back today at long last, hopefully with 1.44 bootloader. Thanks for the excellent info above. Looks just the job. Can I ask if this will also restore s-on after doing an s-off. i.e.
- backup factory 1.44 device
- root s-off revone etc
- restore from backup (back to s-on)
- root s-off moonshine etc
- restore from original backup to restore s-on
A nandroid backup will not restore your hboot or S-ON.
With 1.44 hboot you will be able to
- boot recovery and take a stock nandroid that includes your stock recovery
- S-OFF, S-ON, lock bootloader without a trace
With 1.54 hboot you will be able to
- flash recovery and take a stock nandroid that includes your custom recovery, but you can get a stock recovery from xda
- S-ON, lock bootloader but it will show as relocked

Hi, thanks for this. In this case if my HTC One is returned with 1.54 I will be returning it/exchanging it for an s4. I am negotiating with HTC/EE at the moment so this is very useful to know before I do anything with the device. If I cant get s-off I wont accept it.
That's going to be a hard one to argue. I refuse this phone because you have applied a valid update that does not allow me to do an unauthorised modification to allow further modifications undetected?

Ah yes normally, but they have served me so poorly and thanks to the sale of goods act 1979 section 48B. Read about my HTC experience here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425001.
hi guys, i recently bricked my phone, anyone care to share how to unbrick and bring back to stock?
Comes with custom recovery and ROM but can only boot into fastboot until S-OFF is achieved. HBoot is 1.44 S-ON, Locked with tampered flag(Not the new 1.54/1.45 HBoot). CID has been set to 11111111 and has not been unlocked on HTCDev before.
Recovery: TWRP (Teamwin Recovery)
ROM: Rooted stock (Flashed a Stock ROM that has a preloaded root)
If you haven't unlocked it before, how did you manage to get a custom recovery and Rom in the first place?

i seriously have no idea as the phone is not with me at the moment. any way that i can check and get back again once i got the physical phone.
Hey everyone,
The time has come for me to sell my phone so I needed to revert it completely back to stock, Was using the latest Viperone rom with elemental X kernel. I downloaded a stock rom, moved it to my phone and flashed it, however the phone is now stuck in a bootloop on the HTC logo and I have no idea how to proceed.
I still have access to recovery, but the phone does not show up in windows no more for me to move files to and from it.
I've included a picture of my bootloader to help. Really at an ends with how to get my phone working again even after looking through these forums for the past two days, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

push a rooted custom rom with /system writable functionality to /sdcard using adb push from recovery
flash the rom
s-off the phone using rumrunner or firewater
remove the tampered flag and set your bootloader to locked
restore your phone back to stock using the correct ruu. (probably 1.28.401.7 in your case)
better to keep the phone s-off
