[Q] Reset to stock firmware

Hi guys I am a newbie in the android/root/unlock world and now I am really confused. I've spent 4 hours searching both on this forum and the rest of the internet but I thought to open this thread to clarify my doubts out.
I've rooted some months ago and I've installed the MoDaCo Rom, now I'd like to reset my handset to the original firmware.
From the bootloader I can see that I got HBOOT 1.54 so I can't get S-OFF. What I didn't understand is whether I can reset to the stock firmware somehow or not. If so, can you please link a step by step procedure?
Thanks and I do really apologize for my silly question because I know that searching for the right words I'd have already found the answer

Use the command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
in fastboot mode and post the output here deleting imei and serial ID
So, we can see your firmware version.
Can you remember if when you unlocked the phone you was on 1.54 hboot and 2.xx.xxx.x firmware?

thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I can't remember what hboot and firmware version was my phone on when I unlocked it.
Here are the info that you requested
Code:
(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.17.3250.14

Use this rom/guide for restore your phone like stock
You have to donwload the same zip of your version-main:
Code:
2.24.401.1

thanks again.
Let me understand what I am going to do... I am going to install a stock ROM as I did before for the MoDaCo rom but I am not going back in time when I bought the phone, right?
My phone will be always unlocked? If I'd like to reset completely my phone re-locking it, would that be possible?
Thanks, in advance

The rom i've linked will install the stock recovery, rom and radio
After this, you can relock your phone with the command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
.
When you've used this command, you will see relocked in bootloader and this is like stock, and you can get the ota.
However, i will advice you to acheive the s-off if it will come out for 1.54/1.55 hboot, because, with this, you can restore your phone like as you bought it!

thanks again mate.
I'll wait then, you've been very very very clear

[Q] Stock HTC m7 wont boot up and both recovery and hard rest wont work

Hi Guys,
I have been reading around the forum but cant seem to find the answer to my problem. Or the suggestions are going over my head, so hope you can help.
I have a stock htc one m7 that is unrooted but it is sim unlocked. Went to bed with the phone working and then woke up with it stuck on the htc boot screen.
Things I have tried:
- get into HBOOT (which i can), then try recovery. This just reboots the phone to the white htc screen or screen just goes off.
- try and hard reset from hboot, but this does the same and either turns the screen black or reboots.
Both times i have left the phone for a while to see if it is up to anything but nothing happens.
I read about clearing the cache, but I could not get my head around the guides I read, so is there an idiots guide (I usually pretty good with tech stuff but not done much to do with phones etc)
Or any other suggestions. I use my phone for work so would be nice to get it working again without wiping it but most of the stuff should be back up anyway.
Thanks
Tom

From what I have tried I guess I should now try and flash the RRU?
The phone is on UKs EE network, as it is not rooted do I need to flash it with their branded rom or not? If so where can I get that from.
Thanks

Yep that's what we wanted, unfortunately there's no ruu for your phone
If you've got warranty on the device I would send it in for repair.
If you don't have warranty you gonna need to unlock the bootloader to do anything with it. If your gonna do it go here www.htcdev.com register an account and go to the Unlock My Bootloader section of the site and follow the instructions to unlock :good:

Ok. I will do that.
So once the bootloader is unlocked, what is my solution? installing a different Ruu? Or installing a different Rom (or are they the same thing)
Thanks

Once your Unlocked you can flash a Custom or Unbranded Stock Rom. To be able to use RUU's you will need to go s-off. As your on hboot 1.57 the only way to s-off is Sunshine app. But this costs $25 to use. So I would just go with flashing a Custom Recovery and ROM for the time being. :good:

Unlocking the bootloader void warranty. If you have none, then proceed. In my opinion, your phone has suffered hardware failure and will not be recoverable, hence warranty.

Thanks
Thanks for the help guys. Turns out its still under warranty which is good news. I know with other custom roms you can use adb to retrive info off the device.
Any chance I can do the same, as most of the stuff is backed up except some photos ( last couple of months worth).
If not Ill get over it but just in case.
Thanks for your help so far.

Reflash a rom or a ruu. Something on /system got corrupt, a factory reset won't fix anything on /system.
What was the problem with root exactly?

Are you sure your version-main is really 7.25.771.551?
You could flash the 7.19.771.21 RUU but since your phone is S-ON you'll have to change your version-main.
file at post #2 of this thread, instruction at post #1. version-main downgrade explained at the end of post #2 (how to downgrade with s-on)
Your other option is to flash any custom rom you'd like from twrp. Most roms are pre-rooted btw. ARHD is good one to start with, stable, looks like a stock rom but with many improvements. There are also some good Sense 7 roms like InsertCoin or NewSenSeven.

Thank you for info, where would i find the stock rom to match my version main, after all, I just wanted to try and "root" the phone in the first place.
If I got it back to original state then maybe i could start over again with proper guidance.
Sorry if I sound like a proper novice............. but i am...........thanks once again.

There is no rom that match your version-main, thats why I suggested that you either change your version-main using the downgrade guide so you can flash the 7.19.771.21 RUU (you'll be able to update back to your current version after) or to flash any custom rom you'd like.

Sorry I understand now, I'll have a shot at downgrading and see how it goes. Thanks for your time and advice.

No ROM, No Recovery, Relocked, Tampered, Security Warning

I've been searching around for a solution to fix my device with all of my attempts failing. I have a HTC One M7 from Telus (Newfoundland, Canada) which is about 3 years old. It's in great condition and has been well taken care of. I had been using CM 12.1 and TWRP right up until a few days ago. My intentions were to bring my phone back to factory settings without any root capabilities as the newest update for Pokémon Go requires you to have an un-rooted device. Obviously my efforts to go back to factory settings were in vain as now my phone is basically one step away from being bricked. I can load up the bootloader just fine and acheive fastboot without any problems although anything beyond there fails everytime (ie. enter recovery mode).
I'm able to do stuff with it using ADB tools via my pc so not all hope is lost just yet. Could anyone provide step by step instructions on how to get the phone back to an untampered state as well as links to the files i'll need to do so? I have yet to find any ROM's for a TELUS M7 as well as the default recovery tools. I keep seeing links to utilities which apparently are a basic one-click-fix though none of them have worked thusfar (my most recent one is called "RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_TELUS_WWE_4.19.661.8_R_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_351500_signed_2.exe" which seems to work right up until it gets to the HEADER portion where it doesn't move past 5%)
I've since bought a new phone which is an extreme pain to use as, in my opinion, it's a huge downgrade from what i've been using (LG-K121)
Any and all help is muchly appreciated [:=

When a phone is S-ON you can only flash a RUU that is same or newer version than your actual version. Unfortunately your version-main is blank (this is bug caused by an old twrp version) so we can't exactly know the version it was running. The 1.61 hboot version and CID/MID suggest a 7.17.661.?? version. The newest RUU version available is 7.17.661.7
Try to flash it (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944)
Use instruction provided at post #1 of that thread to flash the RUU ****make sure to use the fastboot version provided in that thread***.
If your phone was running a newer bersion than that (i.e 7.17.661.52) the RUU won't flash and we'll have to try something else.
Btw did you already relocked your bootloader? If no make sure to reflash the stock recovery over twrp before re-locking.

Yep try this version first and if it's not working we'll try something else. You'll have to relock your bootloader before flashing the ruu, male sure to flash the stock recovery (linked above) before relocking.

no problem. Update your phone to the latest version before unlocking and rooting. The latest one is .52

One final question - is there a default recovery on there now that everything is set up and running properly or will I need to dig up a factory recovery, achieve S-OFF & flash it on there?

When flashing a RUU, the stock recovery is installed on the phone. The stock recovery is very limited, it can be used to install ota updates, clear cache and factory reset. If you want to make a backup of your whole phone you'll need to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (preferably TWRP).

My only issue with going back to custom ROM's (which I waaay prefer over stock as stock ROM's are super limited in so many ways) is I will be prevented from playing Pokémon Go as Niantic have recently disallowed such operating systems from running their app altogether. I don't care for using apps which would be considered 'cheating' or 'exploiting' but with a custom ROM i'd be completely forced to stop playing it no matter how I choose to do so (yes it's silly that i'm basing my decision around that one simple game which isn't even all that great as far as Pokémon games go but it's what I do to pass time during my work breaks 6 nights a week).
Until a fail-safe workaround is made for this tiny issue, i'm stuck with Official 5.0.2 (blek!) and Sense - at the very least I can use a custom Launcher but that's about all I can do.

I played the game for 2-3 days at launch and it was easy to spoof a fake gps location to cheat. To do that I also had to hide the fact the I was using "mock location" from the developer options using an Xposed module or the game would detect it. I guess its also really easy to hide the fact the you are using a custom rom/root from pokémon go using the same method... Not tried but im sure it can be done.

I assume it was easy prior to the current update - they've cracked down on 'spoof players' about a week or so ago

(Need Help) HTC One M7 Camera Not working

Any expert/developer please help me recover my camera..
The story was I was on stock HTC Sence (Kitkat but later on updated to Lollipop by OTA updates) then I decided to try Cyanogenmod 13 on my HTC One M7 when I installed, during calls the microphone was not working properly then I installed Cyanogenmod 14 Unofficial but that was on ALPHA stage at that time and it was consuming too much battery so I again removed and flashed Cyanogenmod 13 but again that MIC problem.. Than I thought to download the stock firmware from htc website to flash. I downloaded and installed the stock firmware which was than preupdated I mean Lollipop version but when I tried to open my Camera app it didnt worked. When I open my camera app it shows a black screen and after a few seconds it closes..
I tried to install cyanogenmod 13, 14 and few TWRP Nandroid backups of older versions but still the camera is not working on any ROM (Stock and Custom both)..
Now I am really stuck and cant do anything to recover my phone cameras... Please help

Other Information:
HTC One M7

Not connecting with 4G Network???
I tried so many ROMs Custom & Stock but my phone connects to 3G network and shows only H,H+ & 3G near to the signal bars on status bar. I think my phone is 4G/LTE supported and it also shows option in the settings for connecting with 4G/LTE network. I am living in 4G coverage areaa I tried to check my SIM on other phones and it works but on phone I am not able to connect with with the 4G network.
May be it is also an issue related to software but is there anything related to hardware which I should check please guide me.
Thank you...

7.17.1540.51 is the latest Developer Edition version so I guess you've flashed the Developer Edition RUU from their website (that's fine) and not the At&t version from the link you've posted (which is 7.23.502.9). If after flashing a RUU your camera doesn't work, its probably an hardware problem. Flashing a RUU restore all the software and firmware back to stock so if something still doesn't work after this, there is nothing you can flash that will solve the problem.
I would try to flash the RUU again and make sure it's flashing completely (no error code) just to make sure. If the camera isn't back after that then you'll need to send it for repair. Backup everything you need first, the RUU will wipe your phone.

Thanks for your help I tried you RUU but still the same problem :crying: Now I am sure its a hardware issue.. I will send my mobile to for camera repair.
Secondly yes I installed the correct RUU the link I have pasted was wrong which I correct later you can check the post.
Third, Why my phone is not connecting with a 4G network??
