Hi, could you please provide some guidance on restoring my uk htc one to stock. It is the sim free model
I would like it to be as stock as possible, so stock rom, recovery, and if possible, removing the 'tampered' withing fastboot

this might help but your phone will always have relocked in recovery or did you backup your stock rom if so just flash that

Thanks for the link
I am going to do the following
Wipe in recovery
Flash stock rom from that link
Flash recovery from that link
Relock bootloader with hasoon2000 toolkit
Is this correct?

I relocked bootloader and flashed a ruu, seemed to work

Unlocked bootloader and rooted...now I want to return it...

You can't update via OTA if you have a custom recovery and rom, you need to go back to stock if you want to do so

I agree with the first reply. Just return it. I completely bricked my first One and took it back to Best Buy. They didn't even turn it on. They just made sure there wasn't a rock in there instead of the phone. LOL
You're good. Just do it. :good:

Gotcha. Can you just flash the stock ROM from here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
If not there, copy the RUU and run from inside TWRP?

OK so now I have an OTA update available for my HTC One. When I try to update it takes me to my custom Recovery TWRP. Will this help me to obtain stock status? Also what is the next step after booting into TWRP?? Sorry I am a noob to this but I can hold my own with good instructions. TIA!!

I don't believe the OTA update is going to help you at all. Here's what I would do. The factory RUU (ROM Update Utility) that HTC provides is an executable that you run from your Windows PC (XP preferred). You don't have to load it to the phone - your phone just has to be connected.
A couple questions before we begin:
1 - Which phone did you get? DEV 64 - AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile?
2 - Do you want to save anything on that phone?
If no to 2, just continue. But if you want to save anything you'll need to use either Titanium Backup or Go Backup & Restore Pro (my favorite). Back up to the cloud or copy your backed up items off your phone if you wish to keep them because you're about to wipe it clean.
You can find the RUU for the DEV unit here - http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You may need to register at htcdev.com to access this page. But here you'll find a list of downloads - some are CRC (kernel source code) and one is RUU (WWE stands for World Wide Edition). Download that to your PC.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I would boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset my phone. This will erase anything that you have on it. I'd also wipe the cache and davlik.
Next once the RUU is downloaded and you're sure you've backed up EVERYTHING you want to keep, double click on the RUU. It should be cake from there. It'll restore your One back to factory standards and you should be able to send this puppy back.:highfive:

Also, if you bought the unlocked version from HTC like I did then you're fine with having it factory unlocked with an unlocked bootloader. You don't need to re-lock that.
By the way, here's a graphic of the file you'll want to download and run on your computer when you're ready to restore the phone.

I bought the 32gb unlocked international version. No carrier or DEV edition. Do these instructions still apply?

Ok, I don't think so. Sorry. The RUU appears to be for the Dev edition only. That was the mistake I made and I completely hosed my previous phone. I see the one that you bought here: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41589
Until HTC releases an RUU for that device we can't go that route.
The only other route would be to flash the stock ROM to your phone at the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
Follow the instructions. You'll end up adb flashing the stock boot.img and stock recovery back to your phone. Those files are discussed in the first post.
It's a little more work, but this is the kind of stuff that I love staying up late for. Good luck and sorry we couldn't do it with an RUU.
:fingers-crossed:
Let us know how you make out with this.

[Q] My HTC ONE (THREE UK Network) Stuck on Android 4.2.2 Can anyone help?

Hi Guys,
I rooted my HTC One previously but I wanted to update my phones android software so I can't much remember what I did, but
I tried to unroot it to get back to stock but I don't think I did this successfully.
My HTC One android version is 4.2.2
HTC Sense version is 5.0
am i right in thinking there are more up to date versions on the three UK network for my HTC ONE? But every time
i click check for software updates on my phone there aren't any that appear??
I'm really new to this, thank god i didn't brick my phone when i first rooted it, if i could i'd love to get
back to stock but I tried with no success, i really want to have an updated phone without having to
mess around with it anymore.
I believe i have attached an image more more information such as my baseband and kernel version.
could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to go back to stock so i can receive
updates without these issues. Thanks in advance guys
Kind regards

If I was you I would look to s-off your device, that way you can always have the latest rom version from XDA you can sometimes wait a long time for Networks to release the latest version to update over the air.
There are some very nice stock roms out there but if you don't wait to take the risk you need to unroot, restore stock recovery and relock your device I believe.
If you had made a nandroid backup before rooting you could have restored to the nandroid stock rom and simply restored the recovery and relocked.

Unroot HTC Vivid

Hey Guys,
I got an HTC Vivid a while ago. However, when I got , I looked into the software unlock method to unlock it. Doing so required for the phone to first be rooted. So I followed through some steps to root it. WORST DECISION EVER ! Since then, not only did the unlock not work, but the phone has gotten so slow and dysfunctional it is barely useful. I mean, everything else runs properly, except Calls and Text Message. i.e The phone isn't performing its right function.
Thus, I wanted to look into a way to 'unroot it' or at least just return COMPLETELY to factory settings. I want to be at least able to sell it and buy another. I've looked through and tried a couple of guides to remove the root. One seemed to work really well, until I restarted the phone, where the "Cleanup" window came back on, and the phone returned to its old rooted self.
Thanks in advance for your help !

How did you root it...

I rooted using a method I saw here, which was supposed to be one of the steps to software unlock.
However, it is not already uncooked using the regular IMEI, which is completely different.
So, now I just want to unroot, and bring the phone back to factory, with those "Android is Upgrading...Optimizing applications" message at every boot up.

Anyone ?!

If you revert to stock ROM using ruu, you will be unroofed.

I tried that once...It didn't seem to work for me. Is there a particular method I need to follow?
Also, it seems the "Deodex' method for my rom was supposed to work?
Thank you in advance.

In not familiar with the "deodex" method, but I did fish out a guide for the ruu:

In the meantime, I'll look up the deodex method and come back to this post.

I have recently tried to revert my Velocity back to stock but ran into the same problem. Have relocked the device and tried to flash stock RUU but this didn't work. My device was s-on and I read in a post here that to be able to go back to stock RUU you need to be s-off. The part I haven't worked out yet is to be able to get s-off you have to be on stock RUU!

No, sorry ,I meant to say that you have to be on stock RUU to be able to achieve s-off. The guide that I followed was "The HTC Superguide " in the development section of this device. Firstly, I did a full wipe, as in Dalvic cache, Cache, System, Boot and Factory Data Reset, also SD card, then I relocked the device with "fastboot oem lock", after that I tried to run the stock RUU ( The one the phone was originally on ), which started the initial flash but stopped at about 10% and came up with " ERROR 140 ". I tried 4 or 5 times and even tried another computer with the same result.

I found this thread with people that had the same problem, but I'm not sure if it will help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828491&page=3
You could try flashing an old gingerbread ROM and then try the RUU, as it seems to have something to do with the rom on the phone being newer than the RUU or something.

I have tried flashing an old gingerbread rom ( 2.27.841.6 ) as well as the latest version I could find ( 3.25.841.4 ) but I keep getting "ERROR 140 WRONG BOOTLOADER" and it also says the current version is 3.44.841.3 which is why I can't upgrade because I'm really trying to downgrade. The update to 3.44.841.3 from 3.25.841.4 was only about 58Mb but I can't find that and I don't think it would be of much use.
I have also tried to s-off the device with a live Ubuntu 12.04 32bit CD using ControlBear instructions but hit a snag because the sudo ./ControlBear command does nothing. I think the permissions or password may be out of date. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
I made a PH39IMG.zip from the 3.25.841.4 and tried flashing that but got the Wrong Image message too.

Correct ruu?

I am using HTC one wind mobile. Which ruu to use to go back to stock with updates enabled.

Please post information from your bootloader or by running fastboot getvar all.

There is no ruu for wind mobile Canada

As said, no RUU. What do you have on your phone now? Rooted? Custom Rom? Custom Recovery? Locked/unlocked bootloader?

Rooted, Custom Rom (Insert Coin), TWRP , unlocked bootloader (used HTC dev to do that).

Download this 4.4.2 Wind TWRP Nandroid zip, and unzip.. Thanks to @themastersb https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2GBz7X2uObaM1hfN1E3VU1XNzg&usp=sharing
There is no recovery that I know of, so you will have to look for one that hopefully works. Go through my restore to stock thread to how to restore with above nandroid

Will give it a try. Thanks.
Just one last question. After doing the above procedure I will be able to receive OTA updates? and the link you provided has Sense 5.5 or Sense 6 ?

I dont know the Sense version, but I will guess to be 5.5
You have to follow the process in my guide as well to be back on stock.. Also, try to S-OFF as is to maybe have better recovery options.
