Today i got the ota rom from HTC but when i tried to install it it failed. I already know thats because i use a custom recovery and rooted th e phone. But i want to install the original kitkat how can i do that. I also read on xda that in order to go back i need to have s-off(i know have s-on) to install the new rom.zip but this is also impossible because in order to go back i need a ruu file.
Is there anyone who can tell me how to go back to stock and go original i dont need root privileges anymore.
Im from holland and i have unlocked m7 with vodafone sim.
Please help

Okay, custom recovery, rooted. Custom ROM? You didn't say. In any event, you will need to flash stock recovery and unroot. I think both can be done with AIO Tools. Then you can update. If on custom ROM, S-Off, flash stock recovery, downgrade HBoot, and RUU.

I dont have custom rom i only rooted the phone for the gamkiller app. On the other hand i always tought that s-off is not okay because Its possible to damage your phone.
A few years ago i had the htc hd2 and when i wanted to go back to stock i just installed the original ruu from pc and it flashed it to the phone isnt that possible anymore?

I unlocked boot loader, rooted, installed TWRP recovery and superSU. My phone is Vodafone UK with 4.4.2 running but the the new update ruined my phone with some very serious and annoying bugs. Can I flash this stock rom intended for PN0710000 without changing my MID of Vodafone? Please help !
It doesnt work it starts with the program to update but within the minute it stops....Proberply because i have CWM recovery in the boot and not the Original HTC recovery and finaly because i dont have s-Off
edit I now have s-off 02:16 AM
I have did it, the S-OFF is a must and now i completely stocked my htc one. Everything works perfect also the over the air (ota) update works. Thanks to you all who made restore possible.:good:
Hello,
I have 4.4.2 installed on my One. I had rooted it with custom recovery. But as sense 6 is there I un-rooted it, locked it properly and removed tampered flag. Installed stock recovery and also put it in S-ON.
I can download OTA but while installing it is failing. It is showing red triangle and restarting it.
Can somebody help me to proceed further? If I go to HTC, will they update it?
I think , preload file is wiped when u unlocked ur device
Try installing ota manual and write the message

Your problem is the current ROM is not 100% stock, some files are missing especially the preload.
1. What is your current software version no. ?
2. unlock the bootloader again and flash TWRP
3. flash a stock ROM.zip of your version no. or restore a proper nandroid backup
4. reboot and do the normal setup
5. reboot to bootloader
6. flash the stock recovery
7. reboot and do the OTA
So ... solve the no. 1 first.

Hey,
My software version number is 4.20.707.7 with HBOOT 1.56. I don't have stock ROM readily available anywhere like htc1guru etc., so I am downloading it from one of the xda thread.
Now
I will install TWRP,
reset stock ROM (there is also an option of installin stock recovery) once my download finishes.
Then again will lock boot loader,
put S ON back
update sense 6 OTA.

1. There is another file that you need to flash after that ROM zip.
See : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52981541&postcount=57
2. There is no need to lock boot loader and put S-On back (if now is S-Off) to do OTA update
Only stock recovery is needed

You are using TWRP - you cannot flash an ota via adb. It does not work. You need stock recovery to flash the OTA
Edit: you need to download the firmware and flash the stock recovery from the link where the OTA was

thanks for response,
I tried with firmware.zip which is included in ota which have stock recovery.But when i flash from stock recovery it gives error can't mount sd card (devices not found).invalid operation.may be probably due to s-on.
the only way i think is twrp backup.
Coming from stock, unlocked, rooted, with twrp, Xposed with some modules, & got notif for update to 7.21.707.21
This is what I did:
1. Unroot
2. Flash stock recovery
3. relock bootloader
4. Download the OTA
5. Instal the OTA
6. After boot sound, It keeps on HTC logo
7. Force restart (Power + Vol down)
8. Enter stock recovery & choose reboot system
9. Stuck on black screen (boot sound doesnt appear)
Any suggest?

Look through this RUU collection and find the RUU which matches your current version paying particular attention to the CID & MID. Follow the instructions in the OP once it is installed then try the OTA.
@elias.parasini You can flash twrp do a full wipe and then flash a custom Rom.. if you prefer stock your best bet would be a nandroid backup.
I've had the same problem with a different version. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...k-recovery-t3132656/post61347774#post61347774
You can also use a ruu like majmoz suggested but that'd require s-off if I'm not mistaken. Can you post your getvar all?

@elias.parasini Go to fastboot and enter the command "fastboot getvar all" then post the result here after removing your imei and serialno.
If you still can't boot the phone you're gonna need to download a twrp nandroid backup if you prefer stock. If you're willing to try a custom Rom then you can choose one and flash it using twrp. Do you know how to use nandroid backups nd custom roms?
Ps. You don't have to relock the bootloader before ota.

That backup will work to get your phone back up and running, but you won't be able to update, the reason is because you are already on the latest hboot, and the ota's will come with an older hboot, you can't back flash hboot without s-off, so if you try and install any ota's, you will get stuck in a boot loop, you need a twrp of your current version main or previous version really, or get s-off so you can back flash the hboot, only way to do this is through sunshine which costs $25.

@Seanie280672 thanks for stepping in.. how about using revone?
not sure about this particular case,but i've restored a cwm nandroid backup (whic was created by me back when i was on 4.4.3 before upgrading to the official lollipop) i restored it while on 7.19.401.102.. does that affect the hboot? then did a factory reset, flashed the old (4.4.3) recovery then upgraded to lollipop (7.19.401.102) then another reset and finally the 7.19.401.121 ota.. everything worked flawlessly regardless of the hboot..

Unfortunately revone, rumrunner etc won't work with hboot 1.61, sunshine is the only way to s-off this hboot.
With your restore, it worked because you only went back 1 step to kitkat rom, the ota which you then upgraded to contained hboot 1.61 and as you were already on that hboot, that part of the upgrade would of just been skipped,
If you have of restored an older nand for instance, like jelly bean whilst having hboot 1.61, and then tried to ota to kitkat, you would fail and get stuck in a boot loop as the ota would have tried to flash the kitkat hboot 1.56 or 1.57 and failed as even the ota can't downgrade hboot without s-off, which is the situation this guy is in, he needs a newer nand than the one you linked really, either a 6.xx.707.x or a 7.xx.707.x nand.

[OTA] Firmware 4.16.401.13 + NoRedText HBOOT + TWRP 2.8.7.0 Recovery
http://www.mediafire.com/download/kl2fmdpq4882ji8/Firmware_4.16.401.13_%2B_NoRedText_%2B_TWRP_2.8.7.0.zip
Instructions to flash:
1. Download the file (rename the file if you want as its long *sorry*)
2. Put the zip file donwloaded in your fastboot folder - example mine is C:\adb
3. Boot your M8 into the bootloader, make sure its on fastboot usb mode
4. CMD: fastboot oem rebootRUU
4.b fastboot flash zip *name of the zip file* (or you can drag it from your fastboot folder to CMD screen also works)
5. If it says something like reflash immediately just redo step 4.b its fine
6. After its successful type on your CMD: fastboot reboot-bootloader
7. On bootloader you should now see its 4.16.401.13
good work man
Is this really the whole firmware? The last firmware i flashed, contains 19 image files ^^ What about radio adsp etc.?
Btw i think you wanted to write:
"5. If it says something like reflash immediately just redo step 4.b its fine"

Thanks for seeing that mistake mate, as for the firmware I should have put its an OTA to 4.16.401.13 *sorry my bad*
I seen people asking how to update to 4.16.401.13 so I made this zip for another thread, therefore I thought I'd make a thread to help people out.
I will get the name fixed so it doesn't mislead people.
Thanks
After flashing this firmware I was unable to launch the TWRP. The message Entering recovery... was displayed and then the FastBoot was launched. The solution to the problem was to apply the SuperCID.

What CID you had before and what recovery are you running now? I ask this because I have the same issue with TWRP 2.8.7.0 after update to this firmware and didn't change to SuperCID but flashed TWRP 2.8.1.0.

Before my CID was: HTC__032
Now I'm using TWRP 2.8.7.0 which is included in the archive. I was using the same TWRP version before the firmware upgrade with no problems.
Would it be possible to make this firmware update into an img file? I have tried fastboot flashing but it keeps failing. Thanks.
Is this for any particular variant of the M8? (TMobile, VZW, etc)
Or is it for any one?

There is an issue with firmware update 4.16.401.13 and twrp 2.8.7.0. In fact latest version of twrp which I was able to install (and run) was 2.8.1.0. All newer versions of twrp recovery refusing to run after install with this firmware!
I have a Verizon M8 and I keep getting:
FAILED (remote: 41 model id check fail)
ı flshed firmware. my phone is s off and super cid. but it isnt reboot now.
ı flashed arom again .phone is open bur hbot is not4.16.401
It's the version of the firmware not hboot. It should be 3.19.0.0000 if I remember well. 4.16.401.13 is almost the same as 4.16.401.10 but it should include Stagefright fix.
