I'm trying to unroot and revert back to stock and having a bit of a nightmare. I didn't make my own nandroid backup before I installed a customer rom (lesson learnt), so I downloaded the one I needed off a thread on here (UK Unbranded CWM). Every time I try to flash the nandroid I get an MD5 sum mismatch error. I've tried various methods people have suggested across the internet to no joy. Is there a stock .401 rom knocking about? I saw mikes thread but that has the latest 4.22 stock rom, is there one for an older version? Thanks.
if you have s-off you should
1)download this ruu http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdownload.php?file=M7/RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
2)lock your bootloader (use command "fastboot oem lock")
3)run ruu
4)done

Thank you very much. I've managed to restore from a nandroid backup and I've installed stock recovery, I'm now installing a OTA as prompted by the device. As I now have stock rom, recovery and no root access, gain I still use revone to lock bootloader and go S-On? The reason I want to use revone is so that it doesn't say 're-locked'. If so, how? Thanks for all your help.
if you recieved the OTA i think there's no need to relock the bootloader, but if you want to... so yes, use revone.
"./revone -l" to lock it (no relocked warning)
if you recieve the tampared warning use:
"./revone -t"
cheers
Hello, here is a very simple guide to be able to use revone to s-off on the 1.31 update.
Make sure you have dev unlocked and you flashed a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP both work fine)
After that, you need to make sure adb works (if you can't figure out how to do any of this, I will not help you. If you can't find out basic things about Android, then you shouldn't have s-off)
So, as we all know, HTC has made it so with newer bootloaders, you cannot downgrade to older firmwares. Well, this is true except when the software version changes but the hboot version doesn't. So all we need to do is this:
Boot into recovery
adb shell
echo "1.29.651.10" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 seek=160
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem lock
then just flash an RUU of 1.29 and it'll work out. All you do is flash the misc partition to contain the proper mainver and it works.

Flash an ruu.zip or can it be ruu.exe also? Should revone be done after the ruu?

So I didn't see this post but did something slightly different and it worked perfect.
Unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev
pushed TWRP for Sprint
Flashed SuperSu
Then followed the revone instructions particularly step 3 su (and going onto the device to grant access.) and everything worked perfect and never had to downgrade from 1.31.

THANK YOU!!!
I owe you!!!
Indirect... you saved many a phones. I have been searching for this and read many a post where people were scrambling (not necessarily for s-off, but the fact that they relocked the bootloader and could not run the 1.29 RUU. I encountered the same thing but just unlocked again and flashed my stock nandroid. Thanks!
If I run just...
Boot into recovery
adb shell
echo "1.29.651.10" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 seek=160
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem lock
then just flash an RUU of 1.29
Does that leave me with a stock build and s-on? In the event I had to part with the One, etc.
Yes.

Kind of related thing happened to me, what do I make of this?
I was S-OFF, but with the newest firmware and custom ROM, TWRP installed.
I did the fastboot oem lock, then RUU'ed back to OMJ's straight up stock Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip
Once that got booted up I went ahead and did the system update to 1.31.
NOW, when I go into bootloader it says "relocked" up top, but says S-OFF. S-OFF?!? Didn't I relock it and RUU?
Also, when I try to enter recovery, all I get is a phone with a red triangle above it.

When you RUU, it doesn't turn the security back on, hence the S-Off still. However, it does put the stock recovery back on, which is why it has the phone with the red triangle. If you want S-On, you can flash the Stock H-boot, or use Revone to make it say locked instead of relocked and say S-On (I believe it can do that, although I'm not entirely sure.) As for recovery, just re-flash twrp in fastboot.
Edit: "Fastboot OEM lock" doesn't mess with security at all. It just re-locks the bootloader.

If I am S-on and want a factory recovery, can a stock recovery be flashed in fastboot once back to 1.31?

Thanks. one more question on this topic. The recovery (or screen) with the red triangle will flag a problem with Sprint right? I assumed the RUU didn't flash the stock recovery when I saw this. I am trying to get around the screen with the red triangle. Will flashing a stock recovery replace this? If not can you provide guidance on doing so after the 1.29 RUU is flashed as described in the OP?

What? The red triangle means you booted into recovery but something went wrong, either there's no update to flash or something like that. Are you trying to now update to 1.31 after the 1.29 RUU?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
No, I went through the process defined in the OP to return to stock executing a 1.29 RUU. This seemed to work fine. I then received the OTA update to 1.31. After refusing the update several times I accepted it. I didn't go into recovery before accepting the OTA update (not sure that would matter but it would have identified the red triangle apart from the 1.31 uodate) Now when I boot to recovery I get the red triangle where I was expecting to see the stock boot menu.
so i ran the echo command and get seek 1seek64 failed am i in the clear to flash the ruu or what should i do kind of scared to move away from recovery
it worked xD thanks dude

No worries, do it later, as I'm not on s computer either for the time being. I'll be on again later, but only for an hour or two, so it might have to wait till tomorrow anyway.

This your firmware ? 2.24.707.3
Do you have a nandroid backup of it ?
What does it say on your bootloader ?
also, on a mac you will need to type the following before any command:
./
so ./adb devices
./fastboot devices

Well this is going to be a bit of good news / bad news.
Good news, there's a full RUU exe for you:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-30-1131-05_release_309365_signed_2_4-exe/
Bad news it's a Windows executable, so you'll need to run that from a Windows PC. This will however allow you to go 100% stock!!!!
BUT, BEFORE THAT, there are some prerequisites. I'll outline the steps:
1- You need to get S-Off. since you're on 1.54 you need to use rumrunner.us method (which is either Windows or Linux, I think). This would involve a stock ROM as well, I don't know if ARHD 13.1 will do or not. It's something you have to check on the rumrunner thread. I havent looked into it much, so you're going to need help from someone else and/or do some reading into this.
2- Once S-Off, you need to remove the TAMPERED sign: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
3- While still on S-Off, you need to "LOCKED" your bootloader (not "RELOCKED"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
4- Finally run the above RUU, because you are S-Off it WILL allow you to downgrade. Since it's a full RUU it should put your phone completely back to stock (and not even break the touchscreen drivers, the way nandroid backups do).
EDIT: and it will update everything to stock: hboot, recovery, ROM, etc. so no need to mess with all that, unlike most users
IMHO, keep S-Off, as some phones do ship S-Off. The only dead giveaways that you "messed" with your phone, are the TAMPERED, RELOCKED, and red text at boot-up.
However if you are more comfortable with S-On ("fastboot oem writesecureflag 3") ONLY do so after you are completely satisfied that everything is back to stock.
So it looks like you're going to need a Windows PC, but other than that, you can go back to fully 100% stock "relatively" easily compared to what many have and are going through.

Bootloader shows the "more" correct version x.xx.707.x
In settings it only shows the ROM you are based on.
Go for the RUU with .707. in it.
Keep s-off for the time being, that will allow u to change in case u need to. I have to sign off for today...

Well this is going to be a bit of good news / bad news.
Good news, there's a full RUU exe for you:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-30-1131-05_release_309365_signed_2_4-exe/
Bad news it's a Windows executable, so you'll need to run that from a Windows PC. This will however allow you to go 100% stock!!!!
BUT, BEFORE THAT, there are some prerequisites. I'll outline the steps:
1- You need to get S-Off. since you're on 1.54 you need to use rumrunner.us method (which is either Windows or Linux, I think). This would involve a stock ROM as well, I don't know if ARHD 13.1 will do or not. It's something you have to check on the rumrunner thread. I havent looked into it much, so you're going to need help from someone else and/or do some reading into this.
2- Once S-Off, you need to remove the TAMPERED sign: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
3- While still on S-Off, you need to "LOCKED" your bootloader (not "RELOCKED"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
4- Finally run the above RUU, because you are S-Off it WILL allow you to downgrade. Since it's a full RUU it should put your phone completely back to stock (and not even break the touchscreen drivers, the way nandroid backups do).
EDIT: and it will update everything to stock: hboot, recovery, ROM, etc. so no need to mess with all that, unlike most users
IMHO, keep S-Off, as some phones do ship S-Off. The only dead giveaways that you "messed" with your phone, are the TAMPERED, RELOCKED, and red text at boot-up.
However if you are more comfortable with S-On ("fastboot oem writesecureflag 3") ONLY do so after you are completely satisfied that everything is back to stock.
So it looks like you're going to need a Windows PC, but other than that, you can go back to fully 100% stock "relatively" easily compared to what many have and are going through.

my bad, didnt check your MID, anyway instead of changing it download this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...0-01_release_312087_signed_2_4_decrypted-zip/
for simplicity, rename the file to "ruu.zip" and place it in your adb folder.
it's a RUU zip file not exe, so you need to flash it:
so get to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB (either using "adb reboot bootloader" or POWER + VOLDOWN buttons)
then:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip <- yes twice, the first time it will come back with "failed flush again", the second time it should report success
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar all <- to confirm it downgraded

i apologize in advance for the noob issues... I am having issues trying to achieve s-off on my htc one. i am rooted right now, running stock 4.3 GPE rom. I have TWRP recovery installed. everything works perfectly. however i would like to do a complete conversion so i will recieve OTA updates from google, and not have to worry about flashing roms. so when i first tried to achieve s-off , i was using revone method. i was getting an error code (-1) then i read that that method wouldnt work, if you were running 4.3. so i then restored my nandroid backup, which i was running 4.1.2. but before flashing my backup i did a system wipe, just to be safe. so i tried revone method again. only now i get error code (-6) so i gave up. but i think when i did my system wipe , i lost my stock back up? so my 2 questions are, where is my nandroid backup? did i lose it when i did a system wipe? and how can i achieve s-off? i am not sure how to tell what firmware version i am running, i didnt see it in settings anywhere, nor do i know what hboot i have (1.44 or 1.54?) how do i tell? thanks guys!

Ok sir, I try to help you.
First, you need to have knowledge with ADB and fastboot, but you should have them both in a folder since you unlocked your device through HTCdev. Then open a terminal and navigate to this particular folder. When you connected your HTC One M7 with the computer and UNINSTALLED HTCSync you can type "adb devices" to ensure you have a connection to your cell phone. Then you have to boot into the bootloader with this command "adb reboot bootloader" and there you see on the first couple of lines your HBOOT version. You'll see it! Then you boot into the recovery from the bootloader and install a ROM from this side that matches a version of rumrunner s off: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ch/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
Secondly then getting updates from Google you need to proceed these steps:

This will turn your device into a Google Play Edition!

that helps some, lol. so i now know how to find out what hboot version i have (i'm assuming that because i have 4.3 i am running hboot 1.54).... so thank you! i saw the rumrunner thread for the latest s-off. i will proceed with those steps... as far as completing the full google play conversion that actually sounds pretty easy once you have s-off. i can handle that. ( change cid to googl0001 and flash the new ruu, and stock recovery done!)
so now i just need to know what firmware version i have?
did i delete my back up when i did a system wipe?
To reiterate...
I am on hboot 1.44, rooted running a stock GPE 4.3 Rom. Also, I feel stupid, but I can't seem to find out what firmware version I have? So I have tried twice with no avail. First I tried the typical revone method , but i was getting an error code -1, because I was on 4.3. So I flashed my backup, and returned to my stock rom on 4.1.2, and tried again. This time I was getting an error code -6? So I temporarely gave up, until I saw the rumrunner method here on xda. Worst part is when I returned to stock, I did a system wipe before flashing back to my 4.3 GPE rom, and deleted my backup! So I am nervous about flashing anything else, being that I dont have a backup! Long story short, all I want to do is finish a complete GPE conversion, and I need s-off to change my CID. At this point, all I need to do is achieve s-off, flash the GPE CID, and then flash a stock recovery and I'm done! So any thoughts on how to help me achieve s-off without potentionally bricking this thing?
edit: my build number is JWR66Y.H1 , does this mean I am on 3.07.1700.1

boot to bootloader -> FASTBOOT, connect your phone to PC and it will change to FASTBOOT USB (picture attached)
then type "fastboot getvar all" and post it (remove IMEI and s/n before posting), also post the date it shows on that white screen.

however if I flash a stock rom like the one I have attached, couldnt I just use revone method (./revone -P)?

Why don't you use a RUU and flash the stock recovery, so you can recieve OTA updates and then you can just choose the correct rumrunner s off file and let it do the work. Then you don't really have to worry about the version number and btw. you can simply look it up in the settings. Can you pls ask if I didn't explane it well? Because this is very probable^^
Hi everyone.
First of all, I'd like to apologise for creating a new thread about a thing that has been discussed here before. Since the problem hasn't been solved yet and I haven't unrooted a phone before I hope someone will guide me.
The phone: HTC One with Android 4.2.2
Carrier: O2 UK
CID: O2_001
S-on
HBoot: 1.54
OS: 2.24.206.7
I rooted my phone a couple of weeks ago. I unlocked the bootloader on the htcdev site and flashed the clockworkmod recovery. I like the HTC version of Android so I didn't flash a custom ROM. Last week I was notified that an OTA was available. I thought I'd only need a stock recovery to unroot my phone. So I started looking for it but I can't find it anywhere. There are no RUUs for my system. Nor Nandroid backups.
So my first question is if anyone has got a Nandroid backup of Android 4.2.2?
If not, can I use a different version of firmware? Some people suggested that 2.24.401.8 and 2.24.206.7 are actually the same.
I also found flashable zips of Android 4.1.2 but I know they don't work with hboot 1.54 and will break the touchscreen drivers so I'll need an otg cable. I don't like this solution. I'll do it when everything else fails.
Have you got any other suggestions? Or a step-by-step guide?
Cheers

Haha. That explains everything. Thanks once again.
I have got a few questions:
1. There is no rumrunner for 2.24.206.7. Which one do I use? 2.24.401.8? Or it doesn't matter?
2. Do I have to remove the "TAMPERED" flag?
3. How do I downgrade hboot? Do I flash it using fastboot?
4. The version of the missing apps is different. Will they install?
Thanks

1. For that version, you can use the 2.24.401.8, but before you do so please make a nandroid backup as it has been reported with some people to cause the WiFi to stop working. After you run rumrunner with this version you can restore your stock backup again
2. To downgrade the hboot, you have to download from the link in the guide I posted to you and edit the android-info.txt. This is done by opening the .rar file (NOT EXTRACTING IT!) and opening the text file. Change the model ID to PN710000. Reboot your phone into fastboot. Run the command fastboot writecid HTC__001 and then do fastboot oem rebootRUU. You then flash the hboot here using fastboot flash zip name_of_file_with_no_spaces.zip
The flash is then completed by typing fastboot reboot-bootloader. You can check the hboot there
3. By doing the above, run the RUU on my guide and then follow the steps to run the backup nandroid etc and you should be fine mate

Was rumrunner successful in achieving S-OFF? If so then it doesnt matter that the WiFi doesnt work, we can fix it
Make sure USB debugging is on - to do this go to your build number under settings and tap until it says you are now a developer
Go to developer settings and click the enable USB debugging option
To LOCK the bootloader:
Open command prompt
adb devices
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)
adb reboot bootloader
After this carry on with changing the CID to HTC__032 and flashing the hboot I told you about. Then run the RUU from here http://d-h.st/Gt8 from fasboot
After that you will be Android 4.1.2 hboot 1.44 and completely stock
