Hello everyone,
This is my first post so I hope I don't end up being a "typical noob".
I'll try give the full info but keep it concise.
Background:
1) Carrier Unlocked HTC One M7 Originally on Rogers.
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-On RH
HBoot-1.44.000
Radio - 4A.14.3250.13
Open DSP 26.120.274.0202
emmc-boot
2) The phone was working perfectly after being hard reset, and configured without a sim.
3) After it was activated by the telco, the keyboard would would no longer work. Dialpad fine... menus fine... but no keyboard would pop up when selecting text fields. Did a full factory reset, and also tried clearing the Sense Touch data cache via Settings->App.
4) After trying various possible solutions I found online, I finally decided to try start from scratch by installing stock firmware.
WARNING: i'm the second owner of the phone. For warranty I would have had to send the phone to HTC. I suspect the HTC warranty won't apply to me anyhow. I suggest that in this situation, people just get the phone fixed on warranty if they have that option
First Steps:
A1) I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev and used adb to flash CWM Touch Recovery.
A2) Restored the "M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID ROGER001 / 1.29.631.17 (Rogers - Thanks to Whampahoofus)"
A3) Phone now works correctly at this stage, but is still bootloader unlocked/tampered + CWM Touch Recovery
A4) While I may eventually flash the phone to an official Developer Edition
I would like to reinstall a factory recovery.img, then use revone to get rid of the bootloader "tampered" flag and relock it. (for OTA Updates, and the usual warranty concerns)
A5) I tried flashing both the boot.img and recovery.img from "OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_Rogers_WWE_1.29.631.17_R-1.29.631.4_release_318662" to get back to stock recovery, but I got a Red triangle.
Questions:
Q1): Does anyone know of a stock recovery.img I can use with Rogers firmware ? (SEE UPDATE BELOW)
Q2): Is there some trick to getting the OTA recovery/boot images I tried....working ? Is there some cache reset of somthing that needs to be done after flashing the stock recovery/boot imgs ? (SEE UPDATE BELOW)
Thanks in advance !
same issue
I too am looking for a rogers ruu or even the M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID ROGER001 / 1.29.631.17 (Rogers - Thanks to Whampahoofus) since bugsys page is down.

Q3) If I eventually decide to install the Developer Edition firmware.. will the phone be effectively be a Dev phone ? (OTA updates... factory recovery/locked bootloader... no ID issues in the future..)
Thanks in advance !
P.S. For pure curiousity.... Am I correct in believing that revone can't clear the "tamper" flag and lock the bootloader with the custom recovery ?

A lot of the RUUs and nandroid files were apparently "saved" to "Crushalot's" site: htc1guru.com
you can also get the file links in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276
I used that nandroid backup. I don't think a Rogers RUU exists (yet).
UPDATE ON MY PROGRESS:
1) I had success with using revone to get my M7 S-Off and removed the tampered flag in the bootloader.
I suspected that SuperSU wasn't working right becaue i hadn't been getting a root permission popup window on the phone.
On I reinstalled SuperSU, I got the root rights popup window when running revone, and it then worked.
2) I have realized that the firmware.zip, which is contained in the OTA update, contains the factory recovery and boot image I needed.
(I kept thinking that it was an incremental update and not a complete image or something, due to it's size.)
Therefore, instead of flashing the images individually, I used the firmware.zip from the OTA update to do a complete firmware update.
3) The Red triangle I was getting was, normal. I couldn't find clear info, so I assumed it was a bad sign because the only time i had seen the factory recovery was when it was upating with a red circle/arrow. So.. I thought the red circle/arrow was the icon you wanted to see.
Eventually I found a thread for a different HTC Phone, that also works for the M7
Result: You can use the volume up + power buttons to enter the recovery once the red triangle appears.
4) After installing the firmware (extracted from the OTA update), I used revone to set the phone back to S-ON, then locked it.
5) The OTA update then automatically installed, as a stock phone would.
6) After the OTA update, for some reason the tampered flag is back. I'll be using revone today to fix that.
UPDATE 2
:
6) After the OTA update, for some reason the tampered flag was back. I unlocked the phone, used revone to to get S-OFF, then used revone to reset the tamper flag and relock the bootloader, and then "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" to set S-ON.
After 2 reboots the Tampered flag was back !
I'm suspecting that for the tampered flag to stay off I need to keep it S-OFF, which defeats the whole idea of trying to return it to stock.
Any ideas ?
Anyone working for Rogers want to leak an RUU ? hehe
Did you use CWM to flash the firmware.zip in step 2? I'm trying to follow your steps to get back to stock to obtain my stock rogers update but i'm getting lost as to what you're using to flash, recovery or fastboot.

Tampered will come back the second you flash a recovery. Best to stay S-OFF
I've been in a similar situation where I had to send my phone in for repair and couldn't get the tamper flag to stay off.
I found out it was because I was trying to remove the flag and lock the bootloader and S-On on 1.29.631.17
What I had to do was restore using CWM back to 631.4 then flash stock recovery then remove flag, lock bootloader, then S-On.
The tamper flag should stay off you can try rebooting a couple of times then boot into bootloader to check.
Then I ran the OTA updates and i'm on 631.17 at the moment and my tamper flag is still off.
Hope this helps.
PS. I believe the latest JB4.3 OTA update upgrades the hboot to 1.55 so revone would not work on it. Not planning to try it myself but if anyone can verify this would be great

Thanks for the heads up. If I get a bunch of free time I may just test that after doing a new full backup.
Not sure about the Rogers 4.3 OTA.
I'm running currently the phone with Developer Edition ROM+CID and can confirm that it's 4.3 OTA updates hboot to 1.55.
After the update my phone is still s-off.
I have previously rolled back to an older hboot via a firmware flash.
Since the phone is still S-OFF, I assume I can do that again if needed.

Thanks For the reply Eddy.
Recovery flashing sets the tampered flag even if it's a factory recovery from an OTA being flashed ?
I agree on the S-OFF normally.
This was a test to see if I could get it back to full stock for warranty if needed, and S-OFF would not be acceptable in that case.
please help!
PLEASE! I have been trying to get Rogers stock Canada back on my HTC since the day after release lol..
I have this nandroid backup but can't figure out how to flash it... I also can't relock to try and flash a legit version
So pleaseeee how do I install this!!! I am using cwm I tried making a folder called backups in clockworkmod dir but it doesn't pickup the nandroid backup... Help plz!!!!
So what do I do with the M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID ROGER001 1.29.631.17 2013-06-03.zip
I can't flash it and it won't recognise it as a backup, how do I even install it?
Nobody has mentioned how to use this zip, it isn't a tar file or flashable so what do I do with it?

Simply doing a web search for info would have given you the answers on many many webpages and some youtube videos.
http://bit.ly/1a6d88A
http://bit.ly/1a6ewZ5
Quick answer:
1) Nandroid backups are created and used by the custom recovery "clockworkmod"
2)You need to install a CWM custom recovery (i like the touch version), then unzip the nandroid backup file to the /clockworkmod/backup/ folder. It will create a new folder there. I used the program "Android File Transfer" to copy the files from my laptop to the phone.
3) Once the backup file is on your phone, to restore the backup, you simply boot into recovery and restore the backup as explained in those web pages or youtube videos.
If you have specific things you have tried.... folder names... etc. then ask a question in detail.
You will then have a much higher chance of getting a correct answer (or even an answer at all)
Hope that helps a bit...
Cheers

I tried that. CWM version 6.+ doesn't save to the backup folder anymore. And won't read a restore I put in it either... Ie. The rogers off the bugzylawson site.

Hello bklam,
Sorry, I missed your question.
No. I used CWM only to restore the "Whampahoofus"' nandroid backup.
That backup is "almost" 100% stock. Unfortunately it contains a custom recovery and won't (in my experience) work for normal OTA updates.
To solve this I decided to extract the factory firmware from one of the old Rogers OTA ("unrar" will extact the files from the OTA), and flash that.
To flash it I used the quick instructions in the 1st post of this thread-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
(I believe there were more details instructions on firmware.zip flashing in another thread but I can't find it at the moment)
Note to other readers: There can be confusion about the word "firmware". Some people use it describe the Rom.
In this case, I'm referring to the hboot, boot and recovery images in a single special file called firmware.zip. I believe in some cases it can also include the radio software too.
If I ever get a chance to get this 100% tested and figured out, I'll post a step by step method.
At this point it's just a overview of what I tried, and looking for other members advice.
Unfortunately, as you can see from my posts, it didn't work 100% for me. It gave me the stock Rogers HTC One Rom/software with OTA updates, but the bootloader still had the tampered flag.
Check out ysl00's post above. He/She evidently had it working 100% without the tamper flag.
Not sure if Rogers has a 4.3 OTA yet, but that might fix the flag since it includes a firmware update along with the OS update.
Post back with your results !
Did you see my above reply lrail? .. just saw u post after thought you might have missed ot!! Thanks so much fpr the help and replies. You are the man!
figured it out.
I thoight the explorer I was using showed all files on phone. TO FIX this issue download root explorer and you can see the other directories... Goto data>media>clockworkmod>backups .. it isnt in the sd dir on your phone.

Good to hear. I read your post. I thought..."Is he using a root file manager ?" then read your next post….
I was also going to suggest a guaranteed way to determine where the CWM backups are being stored on a phone.
This way it doesn't matter which version of CWM, which phone or if the back directory exists yet.
Simply create a test backup and see where it goes. Then copy the Nandroid backup that you want to restore, there.
I should mention that I'm currently running my phone as a Developer Edition (Brightstar) 4.3 with OTAs, S-OFF, and unlocked.
It's works perfectly. Only the Carrier ID (CID) needed to be changed. The MID is the same.
I assume that a brightstar RUU will work on it now, even if the phone was locked and S-ON.
I have a few more things I want to tweak on it, then I'll likely make a backup and try restore it to stock rogers again so that I can create a clear how-to.
What's interesting, is that the Developer Edition OS seems to be the same as the Rogers Edition OS (without the rogers apps which can be uninstalled).
The only reason I think it might be a better choice is that the Dev Edition should get OTA updates earlier than the Rogers Edition.
I tried the custom Viper Rom 2.6.x but couldn't get an LTE connection. I suspect that was due to APN settings, but I didn't confirm that.
Anyone got the Viper Rom fully working on a Roger HTC M7 ?
Alright so I've successfully re-installed that nandroid backup and enabled s-off, re-locked, and removed the tampered notification.
When I try to do the OTA update it just hangs at the bug fix1. It default opens and tries to install it through cwm recovery, I've never done any OTA updates before so I assume this is normal?
How can I fix it hanging at bug fix1?

The OTAs don't work with custom recovery. You need the factory recovery
Hi today i got the 4.4.2 update and i tried to install it and it failed
My current situation is:
Tempered
Relocked
S-ON
Completely stock (I was rooted, xposed, sense 5 toolkit, htc hand font) by flashing firmware.zip and relocking the bootloader and i created (data/preload/apps) and put every app that comes with the same directory in the OTA and flashing htc stock font back and i've done a factory rest to make sure everything is stock :good:
every time i try to install the update i got ("/system/bin/app_process' has unexpected contents Installation aborted)
by the way my CID is HTC_044 and i'm on 707 region
Anybody have any idea to help please don't hesitate to share it

Looks like you're not stock after all.
You say you were using Xposed. Xposed replaces /system/bin/app_process with a patched version. By flashing firmware.zip you did not revert your system to stock, only your firmware, that is recovery, kernel, radio, hboot and other firmware partitions, but *not* /system. Which means you still have the Xposed version of app_process on your phone, as well as any other additional mods you installed.
To get to stock, you'll need to restore a backup of the stock system without any mods installed. Neither relocking the bootloader nor S-ON/S-OFF have any effect, you can apply official OTAs with both S-OFF and unlocked bootloader just fine. You don't need factory reset either, the contents of /data don't matter to the OTA at all. What you do need is a stock /system and stock recovery. Of those two requirements, you only fulfilled the second.
If you do not have a clean backup of the stock system, you can either hope that someone else has one and is willing to share it, or you can change your CID to either HTC_622 or a super CID and use the stock ROM I posted over here
All done

Hello -- I cannot do the T-Mobile (USA) Sense 6 for M7 update OTA. I believe the problem was the custom recovery (TW) which I had, so I flashed a variety of stock recoveries (4.20.707.7, 4.19.401.11, 4.06.1540.2). My telephone is software version: 4.19.531.10 which I cannot find a stock recovery for. The update downloads, reboots, then the progress bar goes about half-way before a red-triangle appears. Not sure what else I need to do to the phone. I only have OTA ROMs on the phone, S-OFF and the device is rooted. Any one with any experience with this and how did you resolve? Many thanks in advance!

The ota update might fails because of bad recovery installed or because the md5 checksum fails because of some missing or modified /system files or missing preloaded apps like flashlight, calculator etc etc that get wiped during bootloader unlock. Since your phone is s-off, you could run the 3.24.531.3 ruu.zip (don't s-on and don't relock bootloader) and apply each ota updates from 3.24.531.3 to 5.xx.531.x,
Ok, I have one really nooby question. Are T-Mobile USA and T-Mobile Germany branded phones the same? Because my phone is T-Mobile Germany, and I've seen that for T-Mobile branded phones Sense 6 update is out, so I'm wondering if that's for all phones or just USA.
Thank you
It's for T-Mobile USA for now. Europe roll out would soon occur.

T-Mobile makes the OTA updates not work with ANY modification (other than S-OFF), so even if you relock the bootloader and install the stock recovery, the OTA update will fail. I've even tried to unroot, but it still fails. Only way to update is to install the RUU, either the exe or the zip. I just installed the last ruu.zip that I could find (3.24.531.3) then let it do the OTA update to 4.19.531.10, reboot, then do the OTA update to 5.14.531.1. A pain in the ass, but after getting everything restored and set up, it works and looks great.

Since your phone is s-off, you could run the 3.24.531.3 ruu.zip (don't s-on and don't relock bootloader) and apply each ota updates from 3.24.531.3 to 5.xx.531.x,

Thanks for the help. This took half a day to resolve. I used Guru Reset to get things going. I had to go from RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_TMOUS_1.27.531.11_Radio_4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed_2 and work my way up to v3 (via RUU) and then started to get the OTA v4 and v5. I could not immediately go to installing the v3 (tried a couple) RUUs. Also, I think part of my own personal problem was downloading the ZIP or the EXE for the v3 RUU was becoming corrupt each time (different file sizes, etc). I know my network is solid, but this was a real problem and I could never get a decent download of an RUU for htc1guru (tried different browsers, etc too).
Thanks for the help! I'm glad I got the help and the new upgrade --- seems very nice. And, thanks too to Titanium Backup -- it quickly got a lot of my user data back in place being I had to start from scratch.

Were you trying to download the RUU using the phone? I have found in the past that can corrupt the files, not sure why. I located the RUU zip for the 3.14.531.3 release in a post here on XDA (a collection of RUUs from various sources). I prefer using the zip instead of the exe (the zip is less sensitive, the exe can check too many things, making it fail more often). Once the 3.14 RUU was applied, I could then do the OTA for the 4.19 and the 5.14 releases easily. Then I re-unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then rooted it.

Thanks Fuzi -- yeah, I was downloading on the PC. I tried it numerous times. I agree with you and tried going with the ZIP. All times, the file was coming up in different sizes and could not extract, but I finally got it to work. Once I got the download going for the first one, I basically followed what you said here and it worked. Thanks much again.
sooooo... I was trying to update my rooter one M7 to the newest updates
But when it go into recovery, the bar stops at about 25% and the log says "/system/framework/core.odex has unexpected contents"
Is there any way to overcome this without having to restore to stock? Cause I cant find Nandroid backup or RUU file for the HK version

Are you stock? You must have stock rom, stock recovery, sometimes apps that are being update and if you are S-ON a locked bootloader. nkk71 has a guide to what is needed for OTA.
Am trying to go from Rooted Stock TMOUS M7 to Lollipop
I restored what I thought to be the stock recovery, but after downloading and applying the OTA, system came back with some variation of "Package expects build fingerprint xxxx." I read elsewhere that one should download the OTA and unzip the recovery.img, and flash that (which I did).
When I try to apply the OTA after that I get the following in recovery...
script aborted: "/system/priv-app/MyTask.apk" has unexpected contents. E:Error in /data/media/0/Download/OTA_M7....
What is a method that I can use to flash the OTA without completely wiping?
For OTA match needed
Firmware version
CID
MID
Stock recovery
System files intact unmodified
Data/preload intact
Ota checks sha-1 sign of system files that should match
You need restore original files
It will big mess
Make nandroid backup
Make titanium backup
Install ruu or stock Rom reset zip or stock Rom nandroid backup flash stock Recovery flash ota
No matter what I did, including a complete wipe, I wasn't able to apply this update and I eventually gave up. I tried relocking the device too.
I've since installed InsertCoin w/5.02 and it was pretty painless.
I had been clinging to stock because I wanted to preserve WiFi calling (I'm on TMOUS), but good news is that InsertCoin does that...
