Hello, so I turned my One into a google edition by flashing the ruu and wanted to know if I could backup before going back to sense. I don't want to restore my stuff to sense, I want it so I can restore my Google edition stuff if I don't want to stay on sense. Im currently running the stock (non-rooted) version so I can't use titanium backup. However, since Im S-Off, couldn't I flash twrp, backup, then flash sense, then if I wanted to go back to Google Edition I could just flash the ruu, install twrp, restore the backup, then flash stock recovery? Would this work, and if yes could I take updates?
Thanks,
GalaxyUser50
You are correct, flash a custom recovery. Make a backup and copy it to your PC.
When going from Sense to GPe you don't need to flash the GPe RUU unless you used an RUU to flash Sense and you want the GPe firmware again. Just restore the backup in CWM or TWRP.

If i dont have a backup of my stock ROM, namely the stock HTC Sense 5 ROM (because i accidentally deleted it), is there some way to flash a stock rom back onto the phone?

You can always flash the nandroid backup in collection thread.
Sent from my HTC One
Simply put. YES
You can use a ruu with the s-off
hi my version main is 2.24.61.1 orange uk i updated to 4.2.2 sense rom before i rooted.
i am now looking to unroot & revert back to stock & wondering do i need to find the same rom or can i go back down to 4.2.1 or an older rom?
or can i just use any UK htc one m7 stock rom to revert back to factory settings?
i also did a backup of my stock rom before i changed my rom using TWRP, could i just use that to go back to stock?

Yes, but depending on what recovery you backed up with TWRP, you might need to also flash the stock recovery.img if you're looking for that to. You might want to re-lock your boot loader also.. Depends on how 'stock' you want it to be.
In short, restoring your backup will get you back to stock ROM and unroot (if you were unrooted when you backed it up)

i was rooted when i flashed so flashing stock recovery.img will get my stock recovery back & also is the only way to remove the tampered is by doing s-off or RUU?
My phone is currently on Root, unlocked and is S-ON, i am using MaximusHD rom.
I had back up my old nandroid which is a stocked rooted rom.
If i were to recovery it back to my old nandroid, could i still do the normal OTA updates?

So long as you also have the stock recovery, yes

As EddyOS have said you also have to flash the stock recovery AND install the missing apps that were lost during the wipe after unlocking the bootloader (such as the calculator, the voice recorder, htc ringtone trimmer etc), you can find them somewhere around here in the forums but if you cannot find them, ill attach them here!
Hey all,
so I recently flashed the MaximusHD ROM for my M7 on T-Mobile US. I love the ROM, 4.3 is great, blah blah blah. But right now, TWRP won't recognize my Nandroid backup that I made on stock 4.1.2. I need a Nandroid backup I can use to restore to Stock if I so need, OR a T-Mobile US ROM for M7 on 4.1.2, so I can relock my bootloader and use my RUU properly (if I relock my bootloader, MaximusHD won't boot, thus making me unable to use the RUU).
Unless one of you fine people can tell me how to get TWRP to recognize my Nandroid backup on 4.1.2 (it doesn't show up in the Restore window in TWRP).
Thanks!
Ps. This isn't necessarily an urgent matter, but I would really love to have these things settled before I need them. Also, I tried using the extracted ROM from the T-Mobile RUU, but TWRP wouldn't flash it, so now I'm stuck trying to find something else. Thanks y'all!

Everything you need can be found in the T-Mobile HTC One forum. I suggest you and everyone else look there for T-Mobile specific needs.

I'm currently stock, rooted, S-OFF, and TWRP recovery. I'm flashed to 3.06.651.6 firmware.
I still get the OTA notifications, and my goal is to install the latest OTA update (without RUU) so that I can preserve data. I've created a TWRP backup, but that's the extent of it.
Any help is appreciated.
Other background - I reverted back to 3.06.651.6 after flashing firmware 4.06.xxx because I could not boot normally after that or did not know how.
My bootloader says Tampered, relocked

Ok
I have never done an OTA or Ran an RUU personally.
To the best of my knowledge you will have to flash the stock recovery and a stock rom to be able to take the OTA.
Sidenote: You say you are re-locked...when you unlock again it's going to wipe your device.
Backup everything important to your PC then run the RUU stuff is gonna get wiped either way might as well use the RUU as it's a cleaner method.
You'll have to flash the 4.06 firmware I pointed you to from the other thread to get the required hboot.

Serious Q - Am I not On the stock ROM if I never switched ROMs?
But OK, s=you're saying if I were even able to get the stock revoery reloaded, and receive the OTA, but then if i try to unloack bootloader after that I won't be able to? Also serious Q - Do you have a link on performing a good nandroid backup?
Next - if I did run the RUU, how would i quickly restore my data - just using titanium backup? is that the quickest/only way?

If you never changed roms then yes you are on a stock rom.
To unlock the bootloader again you would use Htc Dev again(unless you still have your unlock token) and by doing so it will wipe your phone.
Only way to nandroid is to have a custom recovery which means unocking bootloader.
I personally don't use Titanium Backup so can't answer that...I backup my phone/sdcard to my PC at least once a month (copy and paste to a folder on my PC)
