No longer have the device. Thanks for looking
I know on old/past devices, there was always a stock image that could be pushed to the device and loaded from the bootloader. I am looking for a similar solution for the HTC One. I cannot connect to the device via USB, so all the current outlined methods of using fastboot are a no-go for me. [RUU, fastboot, etc.] The phone is being sent in for warranty repair [not for the USB issue oddly enough, forgot to mention it], so i wanted to revert to stock.
Currently: Rooted, S-ON, HTC Unlocked Bootloader.
History of device: Fell in the ocean during his summer. After a bunch of flaky behavior, stabilized with only USB not working [but charges]. The phone started to loose SIM connection, so warranty exchange requested. [I know I will likely be charged, as the water-sticker is probably red, but wanted to try and revert the device anyway]
I can ADB via TCP/IP, but fastboot I know cannot do the same. Any way to revert or should I just ship it off and accept the inevitable
Thanks guys!

Is it possible to unroot your phone without your usb connection working anymore? I plug my phone into my computer which is running Windows XP Media Center edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 and it says USB Device not recognized. I tried to manually update the driver in the device manager but it tells me that the specified location does not contain information about your hardware and I verified that they are the drivers for my hero. I even tried a new cable to eliminate that as a problem but I still have the same issues. To give it one last try I plugged it into my laptop Running Windows Vista and also came up with usb device not recognized. I would like to return my phone to Sprint so I can get the usb connection problem fixed but I need to unroot the phone first. PLEASE HELP! - Josh

you can "re-flash" the stock .img files from Better Terminal. I lucked out on my last phone that went completely dead for no reason I knew of. The techs couldn't revive my rooted phone, so I got a replacement.
Since then, I do a "watered down" root - @forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
Without having to wipe everything clean and start from scratch- Flashing the stock and removing root works for me through this:
I copied unrevoked and RA1.6.2 to my sdcard. Use step 7 & 8 (sh /sdcard/unrevoked and flash the RA recovery img). After reboot, I make a nand backup.
For me anyway- by doing none of the rest, it allows me to remove the apps I want to remove and allows me to reflash the stock 2.1 recovery image. I can then update to .6 if necessary to seal it up...flashing the recovery image can be done from the phone using Better Terminal as well.
The only reason I prefer it this way is, I don't want to use a custom ROM and I only want to pull some of the unecessary (for me) apps out. I'll back it up and if need be, I am 1 step closer to "unrooting" it.
I know, I know...but to each his own...I've taken a rooted phone in (no custom ROM) with a speaker issue- no hassles. I've taken a rooted phone in for dust under the screen, way back when- and had to argue the point that ROMS and rooting had nothing to do with a defect in manufacturing that caused the dust under the screen (was able to get a replacement just slightly after my 30 days was up).... So when this last one was completely dead - I thought for sure it was going to cost me.
Long Lost Thank You!
I tried that and it totally worked. I appreciate the detailed feedback. I just realized I never commented back! Now I have an EVO and I just put MIUI on it, can't wait to try it out. Thanks again!
Hi everyone
Been running through the hoops on this one. I, along with several others on the board, appear to be having faulty usb ports. whether or not it is hardware is undetermined, but returning to stock by flashing a RUU hasn't fixed it. I can access the phone via fastboot, but not via adb. When the phone is on, the bottom port is useless. If it does notice somehting plugged in, it immediately goes into car modec and says i have the wrong adapter.... mind numbing.
Is there any way to remove the unlock flag from the bootloader via fastboot?
thanks guys

you need s-off to be able to get back "locked" flag..
Hey guys,
Ok so I've had my HTC One from launch (Australia) for just under a year.
It is still under warranty for at least another week (or another year if its two years I'm not sure, but anyway) so a few days ago my phone just decided to stop charging.
My device is rooted running Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies with TWRP.
The only way I can charge the device is to go into the bootloader > fastboot > powerdown (while device is plugged into ac) and once it shuts down it will start charging (so I know this isn't a hardware problem because it can charge).
Of course in order for me to claim warranty I need the device to appear unrooted so in order for me to remove the "tampered", "unlocked", and (soon to be) "relocked" messages I need to turn S-Off. To turn S-Off I need to use something like Rumrunner but I can only do this via adb. The problem is that even after installing countless drivers for adb my phone just won't connect to my PC (I think because the phone's usb port is mucked up), windows just reports that the device has malfunctioned and I can't adb into the device to do this.
I have managed to get connectivity happening by making my phone an ftp server and pushing files (roms) to it via ftp however I can't find something like rumrunner (to S-off) that I can use on the phone and not through adb. Is there I way I can S-Off without adb?
Can anyone help me out? Thanks for all suggestions. :laugh:

Hey guys,
Long story short.
I have a htc one m7 tmobile version
Flashed Kitkat with S-on (really stupid)
phone rooted
bootloader unlocked
S-On
Now softbricked, can't get into recovery, is able to get in bootloader, phone keeps rebooting.
Tried factory reset, no success
tried adb/fastboot, my pc wasn't able to detect the phone, no device listed
tried all in one flash tool, trying to reflash recovery, no success either cuz phone not found
when usb was plugged in, 'fastboot usb' shows up on phone's screen, but no real communication established. Windows' notification bar shows htc phone unplugged even though it's plugged in.
I guess usb debugging is off, but i don't know how to enable it
anyone had similar problem, any help will be appreciated
any NYC member here, i'm willing to pay 50 bucks for fixing this, sorry i'm poor, that's all i can afford T_T
Thanks in advance!!
Thanks for doing this. I have run into this tricky situation. I will provide some background info:
I have Cyanogenmod 11 on my HTC One m7 (AT&T) by unlocking the bootloader. This morning I wanted to revert back to HTC Sense. I accidentally did a wipe on my phone and now it is stuck on the bootloader screen. In addition to this, my phone is not being detected by my PC/laptop/laptop 2 even after installing the drivers on these laptops/PC.
I have attached few images of my current HTC one m7 screen. No matter what option I select I end up on the same screen and in the same state.
I am requesting your help to restore my device to normal.
Thank you to all the experts out there!

If you were using a custom rom and custom recovery why is your bootloader relocked? You can't boot custom software with a relocked bootloader.
If you took the picture while your phone was connected to your computer then there is something really wrong. FASTBOOT AC should only be displayed when the phone is ocnnected to a wall charger. When connected to your computer, its should say FASTBOOT USB. This could be caused by using a bad usb cable or maybe your phone/computer usb port is messed up.
Once your connectivity issue is solve you could flash this RUU to bring back your phone to stock.

I had the exact same issue. I relocked my bootloader on my laptop trying to go back to stock.My laptop ended up dying so I hopped onto my gaming rig and ran fastboot. My computer wasn't recognizing my phone in fastboot and I couldnt boot into CyanogenMod. I spent hours doing research and trying to fix it. I was ready to switch back to my old iPhone because my HTC wasn't working. Before doing that though I decided to try connecting my phone to my laptop again and see if it was a software issue. It worked perfectly and I unlocked my bootloader again so I could go back to my custom OS because I didn't want to deal with a bunch of that other crap to get back to stock. My point is you should try to use a different computer or usb cable if you can.
