[Q] I need help restoring the stock ROM, please =[

Hi,
Firstly, I would just like to say, if this has been covered already, I apologize sincerely.
I have recently rooted and unlocked the bootloader on my XL. Unfortunately, I executed the process the wrong way round (rooted first) and subsequently lost all USB storage connectivity as well as messed up my location settings and lockscreen icons (which no longer appear...ever).
To remedy this, I flashed RCMix3D (which I must say, is a fantastic ROM) and it seemed to remedy all problems.
The problem I'm having now is that I am wanting to sell my device due to financial problems, but to sell it to a store, it needs to be on the stock ROM. I have a nandroid backup of the original ROM but it is faulty (no USB connectivity etc) and I cannot sell it with the custom ROM (I tried selling a Samsung Galaxy Ace to them a while ago and it was refused because it had a custom ROM).
So my question is this: How can I get back to a fully functional stock ROM? All guidance and resources are kindly appreciated.
PS. I purchased my device in the U.K and I am my carrier is Three.
Thank you for your time,
Jim

Also, I noticed that RUU file is an exe. file. Is this correct? If so, do I just run in on my PC?
Many thanks again

Yes the RUU is a Windows PC program. Just run it and follow the instructions.

YES! the RUU provided helped me out when i bricked my sensation xl. and the 'flash oem lock' does the trick.

please tell me how can I go to fastboot and do that command

[Q] Trying to flash drunk- failed. Now what?

Ok guys, so I was trying to flash the software on my Sprint HTC One with a custom one, while drunk. Needless to say it didn't work. I suspect that chrome f*cked up downloading the rom, because it was only 800mb, and should have been about 1gb. Now, the phone isn't working. When I try to turn it on it shows the htc logo and then boots up in fastboot. Fastboot still receives cmd commands, but I still havent found a way to flash an RUU on it. Tryed with twrp as a recovery- cant mount to computer. Tryed sending the file to phone through cmd- some error about not working radio came through. I'm cutting corners explayning all the methods I tryed to make it work, but there were a lot of them and I dont remember all. I have flashed the boot and the recovery back to the stock ones, bootloader IS unlocked. Phone vertion (as shown in the bootloader screen):
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***

OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617

My question is how do I return it to stock condition (or unlocked to all networks if possible)? Please, I've been trying to fix it on my own for over a week now, and am getting desperate. If possible please give links to step-by-step tutorials and/or files I'll need. Thank you in advance.
PS.: Also, for some reason my computer does fails to install the HTC MTP device driver. Could it be from that, and if it is- will using a different computer solve the problem (tryed a million times to fix that as well- no luck)?

It sounds like you have the same problem that a lot of people are getting into around here, myself included. You tried to flash a non-cdma compatible rom onto your phone.
There are numerous postings about how to fix this, however, it depends on the condition of your phone which step you take.
If you have recovery installed and you have access to recovery you will take different steps than if you only have access to fastboot.
You need to have a recovery installed and you need to relock your phone to fastboot ruu. Once that is done you basically start from scratch and unlick your phone again and then you can reinstall the recovery and then flash the correct cdma compatible roms.

The recovery I can install in a matter of seconds, same with relocking. I have the lastest vertions on both TWRP and Clockwork. Which one do I install and how do I proceed after? Thank you

adb- Im not sure. How do I check? Fastboot- I think so. It accepts my cmd commands for flashing recovery and rom (although when I tryed to flash rom it failed).

In your command window in the same directory you run fastboot from, you should be able to run adb.
The easiest way to check is to type: adb devices
this should return a value if you are booted into recovery.
it will give you nothing if you aren't in recovery.
if you cannot get into recovery then you need to make sure your phone is unlocked and then fastboot a recovery onto your phone.

as long as you can boot into recovery, it should work. i personally favor twrp, but any recovery should work.
try out some adb commands and see.
adb sevices
adb shell
if you get anywhere with those while booted into recovery you should be ok.

did those adb errors or no devices found occur while your phone was showing the twrp start screen?
if yes, then we need to reboot into the bootloader-- to fastboot.
if no then try adb shell again while showing the twrp start screen.

It seems like you need to fastboot flash recovery onto your phone again.
Here are the steps as I think they should work to get you back up and running.
**Make sure your phone is unlocked. (it should display ***UNLOCKED*** at the top of the bootloader screen)
if you ARE unlocked do the following(+++see below if you are NOT unlocked+++)
1. from bootloader select fastboot - connect phone to computer. fastboot should change to fastboot usb when you have a good connection.
on your computer:
2. open a command window and navigate to the folder where adb and fastboot are located
3. type in "fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxx.zip" where xxxxxxxx.zip is the name of recovery zip file without quotes. Make sure you download a good copy appropriate for your phone. I would use this one: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7wls/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-m7wls.img
4. type fastboot reboot
on your phone:
5. once it is rebooted and in bootloader select recovery and boot into recovery.
on your computer:
6. once your phone shows recovery main screen then typeat the command prompt: adb shell
7. no matter what the prompt looks like type: echo "1.29.651.10" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 seek=160
8. no matter if it errors or not type: adb reboot bootloader
9. type: fastboot oem lock
10. type: fastboot oem rebootRUU
11. type fastboot flash zip xxxxxxxxxxxxx.zip where xxxxxxxxxxxxx.zip is the name of the ruu.zip file. i would use this one: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22926241640219526
12 reboot your phone once that is successful!! If you get the "flush image again immideately" error message then repeat step 11. then reboot your phone.
you should now be running a stock sprint phone.
you can now unlock your phone again and reinstall a recovery.
to unlock your phone the second time:
13. boot your phone into bootloader then go to fastboot - make sure the phone is connected to the computer
14. on your computer type in: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
15. on your phone select unlock with volume rocker and press power once unlock is selected
16. on computer type: fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxxx.zip where xxxxxxxxxx.zip is the same recovery zip file we used above in step 3
17. reboot your phone and you are now unlocked and you have a custom recovery installed and you can download a CDMA compatible rom to your phone and install it with the recovery like normal. or you can continue to run stock.
MAKE SURE YOU ONLY DOWNLOAD CDMA COMPATIBLE ROMS FROM THE SPRINT HTC ONE FORUMS.
enjoii!!
+++if you are NOT unlocked+++
try the following:
step 13
step 14
step 15
step 16
step 4
step 5
step 6-17
make sure you complete all the way through 17 after you do step 6. good luck and let me know what your results are.

Nope, adb still doesn't work. Could it be something wrong with the drivers my computer installs? Because when I'm in recovery my computer detects the device in "Other Devices" as "M7WLS", and I don't have a driver for that and neither does microsoft update. Any suggestions?

Did you install HTC Sync or did you install the naked drivers from here?
Otherwise, where in the process did you get stopped?

[Q] Phone won't boot don't know what to do

I flashed an OTA update from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907, using CWTM and now my phone just sits at the HTC quite brilliant logo. I can access the bootloader but I can't get into recovery. Tried reflashing recovery to no avail. I'd like to know what I did wrong and how to fix it so if I screw up in the future I won't have to come here. Help is much appreciated and thanks in advanced.

Were you already s-off before you flashed the OTA? What rom were you using prior to the flash?
I'm guessing you will need to go back to 1.29 ruu to go back to stock before you continue on.
What was your reason for flashing the 1.31 OTA?

Yes I was s-off, I had the stock rom, I was experiencing some weird issues with any rom I was using and it continued when I restored my nan so I thought maybe upgrading to the latest OTA would resolve them.

Without knowing what you have done since you unlocked your phone, it is real hard to say what caused the weirdness. The only way, as far as I know, for you to get back up and running is:
to access fastboot,
make sure your phone is unlocked,
flash a recovery,
boot into the recovery,
run adb commands to set your ruu to 1.29
fastboot lock your phone again
run the RUU
reboot
unlock your phone again
reinstall a recovery
keep stock rom or flash a CDMA rom - one from this sprint htc one forum only!
That should set you up again and get you working.
I'm sorry i can't explain why things went wonky... it all really depends.

I already tried to reflash my recovery before I originally posted, all it does is say its going to recovery then it reboots. Without access to recovery IDK if I can RUU.

I was able to get into recovery but when I tried to install the RUU and it says it was good but when I reboot it is still just sitting at the HTC logo.

Use this link to download 901e or 901s model attachments
Before We Begin
Have a micro USB cable handy.
Download and install the HTC USB drivers. Do this by downloading and installing HTC Sync Manager and following the instructions. HTC can be found by going to this link.

How to unlock Bootloader butterfly s?
Use this link to unlock Bootloader warning this may void your warranty***tampered*** and ***unlocked*** will be written in bootloader but don't worry we will remove it with S-off
if your device not listed use "all other supported device"
Only unlock bootloader isn't much help you will need s-off as well soooo....
How to get S_off butterfly s?
With S-off in other words security off you will be doing a lot of modifications.
We will use Firewater.

How to Flash firmware butterfly s?
Back up using nandroid google it how to?
This is a test device will be written in recovery so be carefull what you wish for but you can remove it i don't know how but you can search for it in google.
S-off and unlocked bootloader needed
If you have stock CID you can proceed to step 1. If you have any other CID you need to change it before beginning. In this example I am talking about HTC__621 901e model.
Asia with CIDs HTC__044
Hong Kong with CIDs HTC__622
Taiwan with CIDs HTC__621
open up a command window in adb director in C:\adb or where ever you put adb and fastboot
hold shift and click right mouse button to open up a "command window here"
Type these commands.
Write the stock CID back to device by running this:
"adb reboot-bootloader" without ""
Phone should boot to the bootloader. Now run:
"fastboot oem writecid HTC__621" I prefer use this
or you can write
"fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
Now verify that the CID shows on the bootloader screen by running:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Reboot device if CID on bootloader screen shows the CID. If not retry
*****The next step will wipe the entire contents of the device which includes all of your data. Be sure to back it up to a PC so you can transfer it onto the new device if needed.*****
These instructions are assuming you are running a Windows OS. If you are not then these exe RUU’s won’t be of much use.
Download the firmware.zip file and place in your ADB/fastboot folder. I would recommend renaming the zip file to something simple like ruu.zip.
Boot your phone into the bootloader by holding the power and vol up/down buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader screen or if you have your phone booted you can use the ADB command:
adb reboot-bootloader
Now use these fastboot commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Should see the Silver HTC logo. Now issue this command to flash your phone using the ruu.zip file:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. You have to issue the exact command again:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:
fastboot reboot
**Notes about the RUU.zip method. You still need to have the proper CID for the RUU. You can run the RUU.zip with super CID, but you will have to lock your bootloader first. If you are running the RUU.zip as base to downgrade all your firmware because you are going to then going to restore a stock Nandroid so the RUU might not be made for your MID, so you may need to edit the android-info.txt inside the ruu.zip to include your MID or CID.
if you have sucessfully did this you can see hboot 1.54

YOU HAVE TO BE ON STOCK RECOVERY,ROM AND S-off TO PERFORM THIS ACTION
1. Check ROM version in Settings-About-Software Information, it MUST match second value in example case 1.21.709.3-1.12.709.2, if you have version different from 1.12.709.2, update will FAIL.

I recently had the same issue, you should be able to fix this by following these steps, keep in mind, continuing this process will unroot your device. Thus, you will loose all of your data on your phone.
first begin by booting into bootloader, then plugging in your device via usb cable to your computer, it should now say "fastbootusb" on the device's screen.
if you don't already have the the fastbooot files required for your computer, you can download them here: ftp.qbking77.(com)/Files/OneDrivers_Fastboot.zip
after that, extract the zip file somewhere on your computer, and open the fastboot folder. Now hold down shift and click on an empty space in the folder and choose open new command window here, or something along those lines.
Now that you've done this, type fastboot oem lock and press enter, this will relock your phones bootloader.
Now, unplug your phone from usb, and reboot back into fastboot, and once again, plug the device into the computer. Just as before, your phones screen should now say fastboot usb. You can now flash this file via fastboot by following the instructions below.
androidfilehost.(com)/?fid=23329332407568410
rename the file downlaoded to firmware.zip and copy it to the folder containing your fastboot.exe file
now in the command prompt window, type in Fastboot oem rebootRUU
you should now see a black screen with the HTC logo, type Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip,
once that is complete, type fastboot reboot and once more, reboot into fastboot
you can now download this RUU file from the following link: androidfilehost.(com)/?fid=23329332407573774
extract the zip folder somewhere on your computer
boot into bootloader, and once again choose fastboot,
plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer, and the phone should once again say fastboot usb.
now open the folder you extracted and run ARUWizard.exe, this will unroot your device and return you to stock.
now, if you wish, you may re root your device.
Hope this works, if none of this makes sense, mention it. I typed this up in a bit of a rush.
also, you will have to copy and paste the links, as I have not made 10 general posts, so I can't add direct links to my post. Sorry mate.
as far as your fastboot issue, try re installing the htc and fastboot drivers.
