[Q] Relocking and Flashing to Stock HTC M7 on Bell - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey community,
I'd really love some help from the experts here. I bought an HTC one that was originally on Bell, and the previous owner had rooted it and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it. To enter the sim unlock code, I have to flash it back to stock.
Now, I've been spoiled previously by using Nexus devices so I haven't run into this problem before.
What I've done so far:
Followed this guide about half way, to the point where I re-locked the bootloader. (fastboot oem lock)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZR5yhP75Jg
I got stuck after that, because Bell apparently does note have an excutable RUU file. I've only been able to find nandroid backups.
Right now, I cant get past the bootloader mode.
This is what shows on my screen:

re-locking the bootloader is only required to flash ruu which is not an option for your phone (no ruu available for bell). Now you'll need to unlock the bootloader again to flash either TWRP recovery to resotre from a twrp backup or CWM to restore from a CWM backup.
I'll suggest you to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and ARHD 53 rom. Many users reported successfully sim-unlocked their phones using ARHD rom. If that don't work then you could try with the nandroid backups.

unlock bootloader
flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This is from @crushalot instructions on restoring a nandroid backup
Then enter recovery either by holding power and vol down button until bootloader displays and then select recovery or if device is booted into the OS use this adb command:
adb reboot recovery
Now perform a test backup and allow it to complete. Then make a note of the folder in which the backup was created. Now copy the downloaded stock Nandroid into that same folder so that recovery will see the backup and allow you to restore it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For a phone that's not booting up this means pushing the files with adb push
so the command would look like this
adb push 2013-08-08--19-24-38.ATT.502.15 /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/
these files are over 1.2 gigs sometimes so it takes a long time, be patient
Also be sure the files your pushing are in the same folder as adb

Thanks for the replies ^
Okay, so I have now unlocked my bootloader successfully - however am now stuck in a cyanogenmod bootloop.
What's the best way out of this?I have CWM Recovery V6.0.3.1 I can boot into - is this where I try and install ARHD 53 rom? When I plug the phone into my computer, I can't see it as a drive to copy a rom into.
TIA

if you want to flash arhd 53 you will need at least twrp recovery version 2.6.3.3 as specified in the ARHD rom thread. Then use either adb push or adb sideload method to transfer the rom on your phone which are explained here

The error I'm getting in CWM Recovery is:
E: can't mount /sdcard
E: can't mount /external _sd
How can I install TWRP Recovery? Sorry, I'm at a loss right now and feel so confused.

So I've installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 0 but I still can't manage to see the sd card on my computer, how can I push the nandroid backup to this phone? Is it still via fastboot commands?

like I said in post #6 you need to either adb push or adb sideload if you want to install a rom. If you want to restore a backup then use adb push to transfer the backup to the phone.

Thanks for your help.
I was able to push the rom to the /sdcard folder via ADB Push
then from recovery, had to wipe/format all data. I think this created the directories for me
and then i was able to install CM11 again.
now im just trying to figure out how to install the nandroid backup since bell does not have a RUU, It says failed everytime i try in recovery and i have it in the same parent folder as my CM recovery i created.

like cIsA said you have to push the twrp nandroid in this folder: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/
You have to make a backup first for this folder to be created. So make a twrp nandroid backup of the boot partition only (because its light). This will generate the backup path with your s/n + date. Then delete the file inside that folder and replaced it by the nandroid backup you want to restore.

Accidentaly wiped everything from phone including OS!! Please help urgent!!

Alright so I'm pretty much screwed. I wiped everything off my phone except for the boot loader.
I've tried every single method I could find such as reverting back to stock or adb sideloading a custom rom.
They both have failed. Every time I try to revert to a ruu it either tells me it cant verify the signature or it cant verify the model id.
I am extremely frustrated and desperate. Please any help at all would be appreciated.

Since you re on HBOOT 1.44 you can try Revone to gain S-OFF and then the RUU will work and get you back to stock!
What is your CID?

I was thinking of trying something like this, but I wasn't sure if you could gain S-OFF without an OS installed.
I'll try to use Revone and I'll see if it works

For Revone to work you need ADB. So boot into custom recovery and run the commands needed for Revone.
Normally it requires usb debugging ON but you should give it a try.

I could side load a custom rom before, but once I tried to install it the usual way through TWRP the installation failed.
Now after re-locking my bootloader to attempt the reversion to stock, and then unlocking after it failed, I can't even get ADB to recognize my device.
I got the same problem. Using TWRP, side load gives an error. This is my comlete error when trying to install
Comlete error is:
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/M7_UL_JB43..
updating partition details
e:unable to mount /data
e: unable to mount internal storage
so do you have the recovery? If so, then as adb is not recognizing your device, probably is a driver issue.. (also you need to connect to adb while in recovery. not on fastboot or when phone is trying to boot)
If it its a reaction on my post, yes i have the recovery adb is recognozing my devices i can push a rom to my SDcard but when i try to install i get that error.
i had the same problem on Win XP with TWRP, on Win 7 it works fine.
Did you try flash different recovery? CWM? can be pushed to sdcard as well
The push is not the issue, thats works correct. CWM can't find my SDcard at all and in TWRP i can browse to SDcard see the rom click on it but then i got the errors.

is that a 4.4 GPE ROM?
4.4 ROMs require TWRP 2.6.3.3+
and 4.4 GPE ROMs usually require S-Off, otherwise they'll bootloop

Not sure what the problem is. If you have no recovery then fastboot flash a recovery and then adb push or sideload a Rom to your phone

Tried them both gives me a image error or signature failure so i don't believe these are the correct RUU's my current image verison is 1.29.631.17
I tried Flash_recovery_4.19.401.11. and Previously when i had recovery and tried to sideload it gave me a system error and just kept loading.

SOLVED
Hey thanks a lot for helping me. I have been able to solved it myself.
If someone would like to know what i did:
(for any noobs like me - UNLOCK the phone first to install a recovery)
It didn't properly wipe/format in twrp 2.6.3.3 because of decrypt pw, had to upgrade to 2.7 wipe it then go back to 2.6.3.3 then type adb usb
while mounted with data selected only. adb sideload button did not work.
Installed Android Revolution 62 directly and works fine now!
Thanks a lot for your help though!

"virtual sd card" is another name for your internal memory, you don't have to create it, its already there.
you can push your rom to your phone memory (the virtual sdcard) using adb from custom recovery.
either adb push or adb sideload should work.
for example:
adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard/
then you can install it from your custom recovery.

I dont understand when you say - "using adb from custom recovery."
Where do I enter this ? adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard/ ?

The instructions you are following is how to flash a custom rom, not an RUU.
Are you sure it's an RUU your trying to flash?
If it is, boot your phone into fastboot, connect you phone to your PC, then just run the RUU and follow the instructions.

What happened was the HTC is SIM free so any sim card can go into the HTC.

no that won't help you your s-on
your RUU has to be 5.xx.401.x or 6.xx.401.x
Reply
Your right buddy, It got to 5% then htc_bootloader.exe stopped working - Twice grrr
Cant find any RUU starting 5.XX.401 OR 6.XX.401 can only find one that starts with 4 ?

like cisa said, you cant run lower version ruu with s-on. You are on 5.11.401.10 so you can not use a 4.19 RUU and you'll need either a 5.11.401 or a 6.xx.401 ruu which both doesn't exist. Also if you are on a .401 version (5.11.401.10) you can not flash ruu for .631 version (x.xx.631.x) its not a version for your phone, its intended for Rogers branded phones and yours is a Europe/middle Est/Africa unlocked version (.401). So all this to say: forget about using a RUU
What you need to do is to download this rom (its a stock rom that match your version), save it to your adb/fastboot folder and push it to your phone either using adb push or adb sideload from twrp recovery. Then install the sideloaded/pushed file from twrp recovery and you'll be fine and back to stock rom.
you'll also need to flash back stock recovery after if you want to install latest ota update.
your stock recovery is available here. Again save it to your adb/fastboot folder and then with the phone in fastboot mode flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

I have just ran fastboot getvar all and your correct again its
5.11.401.10 I need so thats perfect. Downloading as I type this.
Im not wanna take too much of your time but I finally know how to fire up the RUU onto the phone although it failed due to incorrect one.
What do I do with the ROM ? Once Downloaded, just add all the files into sdk folder and then type they commands you stated above. Its crazy to see how many people have this issue but there is not one good step by step guide or youtube URL showing each stage haha

follow this guide:

HTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer, either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery 2.6.3.3 on your device.
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

this is stock recovery, you need to unlock bootloader and flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3. Everything explained in the guide previously posted. You are at step 3 of the guide but you don't have checked the prerequisites mentioned before the procedure, one of them is to flash twrp 2.6.3.3.
