Hi Guys i am following this guide to restore my phone to stock for HTC repair (camera issue)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738
do I need to make the phone s-on and lock the bootloader?
it mentions that can brick if has a modified HBOOT when re-locking the bootloader
so my main question is this "is the Stock HBOOT included in RUU?

no problem, please follow instruction 1, then 2 then 3, etc.
s-on is OPTIONAL, it's up to YOU to decide that
still having trouble, found my original stock backup of 4.2.2, but now have HBOOT 1.44, i really need a full Vodafone UK RUU the .exe version would probably be best but just cant find anywhere, cant even flash the OTA RUU probably because I have mismatched firmware, recovery and HBOOT now,
well UPS is picking it up tomorrow so i'll just have to hope they don't refuse repair due to software not being 100% stock especially as the issue is a hardware fault
wish me luck and thanks for you help

1- you might wanna edit your post and remove IMEI and s/n
2- from above getvar, you look like you followed the first part of my guide an now your phone, is an European unbranded phone.
3- so quick quick question, you wanna go back to "VODAP001" (do you really need to?) ? is there a nandroid backup out there?

Yeah sorry I noticed edited post now, ive changed my CID back to VODAP001, I have my original 4.2.2 stock rom flashed hopefully be able to pull to 4.3 OTA once im back up and running, thanks for you help mate
thanks again for your help, OTA is now downloading and i should be back to fully stock soon and can send for repair worry free.

don't forget you need "stock recovery" for OTA to update correctly, and do not go from s-off to s-on on 4.3 (hboot 1.55) it will most likely trigger a "tamper detected"!!
if you did get hboot 1.55 just keep s-off, otherwise you're gonna be back on square 1.
I have to sign off now, but you can PM me if anything comes up before tomorrow.
if my guide did help you in any way, i would appreciate it if you posted your details, in my thread (whenever you get a chance), it will be helpful to others.
and hit the thanks button in the guide
good luck :fingers-crossed:
Yeah I flashed my original stock backup, flashed stock recovery and locked bootloader , I had forgot to change my CID back, it wasn't till u advised that I post my " getvar all" that I noticed, I haven't checked if my HBOOT is still 1.44 or updated to 1.55 yet, I left s-off hope it still is, again many thanks mate

Yeah I'm on HBOOT 1.55 now but still s-off, I take it if I s-on again I won't be able to get it back, I used rumrunner s-off last time but I that was on HBOOT 1.54 iirc, not that it matter now anyway

Keep s-off, otherwise u may end up having to start at square 1, and if I read correctly, u have to send it off in the morning.
UK repair centers seem quite decent, and they can't really prove it wasnt s-off to begin with.

the variant error shows up when your OS in the bootloader and Software number inside the ROM doesnt match, you need to find a compatible ROM, the ROM you are using (3.63.707.3) is for India/Asia with cid HTC__038 and HTC__044 and MIDs PN0711000 and PN0714000 respectively, what's your Model ID? can you post the results of "fastboot getvar all" excluding your Serial No. and IMEI? if you can tell me your Model ID i can suggest the compatible stock ROM reset or RUU for your phone

can you gain s off using Rumrunner? because i cant find a stock Reset Guru Rom that matches your Model ID and CID, but there is an RUU for PN0711000 and HTC__J15 , it downgrades the OS so it requires s off , @nkk71 what do you think, man?

1- Haven't seen any guru resets like that for that
2- why bother? if he goes s-off, he can flash whatever he likes
3- it's always nice when someone actually says what they intend to do and why... custom rom, stock rom, rooted, non-rooted etc etc etc

At first, I dont want to s-off, want to return stock rom and get original OTA updates. But at the end, i went s-off and installed custom rom. However, if i find a solution. Try to s-on again, relock and want to use original rom.

I'm in the same situation. My HBOOT is 1.57 so I can't SOFF without Sunshine. I flashed Guru reset zip 3.63.707.3
When I check OTA it downlaods and gives me the variant system version error. I can't install with RUU either. What am I supposed to do?

Found a compatible RUU from the thread you gave. But couldn't flash the RUU zip, always got different errors.
Got sick of this after 11 hours of research and stuff. I've just SOFF'd my M7 with Sunshine, revert back to 1.29 (Sense 5 and 4.1.2 ) now installing all the firmwares one by one.
Thanks for your help mate.

did you relock bootloader and use the htc_fastboot.exe? then it should have worked just fine.
anyway, S-OFF is a much better thing to have imho, and since you're S-OFF you could consider changing the modelid to PN0710000; obviously it wont give you LTE (since the hardware is missing), but would allow you to get the "regular" .401. OTAs
but guess you wont need to worry about that for the time being, since PN0711000 is also on new version now.
So I want to revert back to stock, and get OTA updates, but I cannot find the RUU for my Internation HTC one, if you can find it, it will help. Thanks.

First see red text above, its dangerous to post that info
second, you didn't look very hard, this rom is the easiest stock rom to find, you can either try running this RUU
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
if that fails, flash the reset file below link through TWRP recovery 2.6.3.3
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
Both those links are for the following devices

HTC__102, HTC__203
HTC__405, HTC__Y13

he can use the guru reset file to go back to 3.62.401.1 and then OTA all the way from there, I did the same myself before I went s-off to get an OTA, I did notice he has 11 where as the RUU is 9, unfortunately 11 was a small OTA from 9 but thought it was worth a try.

the Guru Reset ROM could work, if he get's a notification to 4.19.401.11... but if there's an OTA version in between the two, it could fail because of the "version" downgrade
EDIT, true it's a small upgrade, so both your ideas could work, but for the RUU.EXE to work, he would need to use the misctool to change version-main to something lower, otherwise the ruu.exe won't let it through.

yep, sorry about that, I guess you could try the Guru Reset ROM and see if the OTA works, since the 4.4 RUUs are extremely sensitive.
but out of curiosity, why do you need stock and get OTAs? (and why no S-Off?)

Well I have 2 HTC ones (both rooted with custom ROMs) I wanted to get back to stock and do some tests. And I really actually don't know why I don't have s-off, I think because it's just that I'm not bothered to get it, so I just unlocked bootloader via HTC dev.

Well you already know my answer to S-Off: if you can get it, then do it.... with S-Off you wouldn't even need this thread, you'd just flash an old ruu and you are done.
hboot 1.56 is already tough to get S-Off, but hboot 1.57 (the one you'll get once you receive the 5.xx OTA, is even tougher/close-to-impossible)
but if you don't want to be bothered with that, I personally would try the Guru Reset ROM, and see how that works out.
I saw a 4.19.401.? guru reset rom around these forums somewhere created by crushalot an updated one and im buggered if I can find it, it doesn't seem to be on his site yet, there was a backup and a guru reset of it in the same thread.

hmm, yellow card to myself (over thinking stuff)
why not just flash the 4.19.401.11 stock odexed rom + stock recovery, and be done with it?

Well I have 2 HTC ones (both rooted with custom ROMs) I wanted to get back to stock and do some tests. And I really actually don't know why I don't have s-off, I think because it's just that I'm not bothered to get it, so I just unlocked bootloader via HTC dev.

Sorry for over-thinking this one, i guess i couldn't see the forest through the trees
Just install "One_4.19.401.11_odexed.zip" using custom recovery (I have a copy of the file if you can't find it online, but would take hours to upload, and i'm sure a simple search will find it; just make sure it's the HTC One M7 ROM... the one I have has MD5=DEBE52CBCA078E3B64C78AC06DFA1D42),
EDIT: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545504
then flash stock recovery: http://d-h.st/Igg and you're done.
Will this definitely work, I really don't wanna get my phones bricked

yep, should work fine.
Since you are S-On with "(bootloader) version-main: 4.19.401.11" means you couldn't have messed around with firmware, and the above odexed ROM is stock ROM for your MID+CID.
Once you have the ROM installed you will get the OTA update notification, but it won't install until you flash back the stock recovery (OTA updates don't work with custom recovery)

yep exactly. just like any ROM. if you use the Guru Reset ROM, during installation it will give you the option to install stock recovery as well, then you can get and install the OTA

No it will not lock the phone, unless you want it locked. Post a fastboot getvar all except remove the imei and serialno and we will be able to direct you how to rebrand your phone.

If you want a full conversion, you can s-off the phone, change cid to HTC__001 and flash a x.xx.401.x RUU. Your best option to s-off on hboot 1.57 is probably sunshine s-off but its a paid exploit (25 USD) or you can try firewater, its free but it will require more steps and you have like 50% chance it will not work.
or the easier way, if you only want a debranded rom, you could only unlock the bootloader, flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and then flash a rom (like arhd 71.1)

What is causing this? My device is a test device?! Wrong RUU?
Edit: I am updating the phone but it wont find the latest after every boot it finds the next. Now installing 4.3, it was 4.1.2 to begin with..

Tell HTC/test device is normal. You'll always get this message at the initial setup with s-off phones, don't worry with this.
The ruu will not turn back s-on and thats a good thing. Keep your phone s-off.

Yeah I thought it was the s-off causing this. Thanks for you reply, gonna install update after update and see if it comes up with the latest. Bit strange it doesn't install the absolute latest, but I guess the final update size would be huge to have all the fixes in previous versions in one.

Hi everyone, I apologies if this is a bit of a silly question however I am attempting to root an android device for the first time and would just like to know what you thought about an issue which I am having.
My question is, I plan to root my phone and install TWRP recovery, if I ever needed to unroot I am under the impression I would need an RUU which matches the radio very I have. The details of the radio is 4T.29.3218.08 and the phone is from the UK (Europe). I cannot find this version anywhere. If I ever needed to unroot does this mean I would not be able to?
This is the only thing which is now stopping me from rooting my phone... Thank you in advance for your replies.

your on the newest software their is no 6.x.401 RUU
to return to stock you simply flash the stock odex rom and stock recovery / do a factory reset and your Stock
you would still have an unlocked bootloader but without s-off you can't fix that (unlocked to locked)

So a couple of questions. Does that mean there is never going to be an RUU for my phone or is it just with time there will be more for the current version? As for flashing to the odex Rom and stock recovery, the Rom would be simple enough for TWRP recovery, how would i do the stock recovery part? Or would they be an all in one installation, installing the Rom would also install the recovery?

HTC doesn't release RUU each time there is a new version. Maybe with the future release of android lollipop, we don't know.

flash the stock rom using twrp and then flash the stock recovery the same way you have flashed twrp recovery. Twrp will be overwritten by the stock recovery.
Just keep in mind that you'll need s-off if you want your warranty back (to set the bootloader back to *locked* (not relocked) and to remove the *tampered* flag)

Yes but if you make a backup of your rom after unlocking the bootloader, there will be some files missing (htc preloaded apps in /data/preload) which will prevent you to use ota updates is you restore this backup. There is a 6.09.401.10 nandroid backup including the /data/preload folder on android file host.

You can extract it from any 6.09.401.10 firmware or from the 6.09.401.5 to 6.09.401.10 ota zip file.
nvm, I found it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603803
@alray - So my steps to stock would be:
Download and install the rom using TWRP recoveryfrom the following address:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473396068
Then install the stock recovery from the following link (Install is the same way I installed TWRP):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603803
If the phone is still S-ON, I will not be able to change the label so will have to make it S-OFF if I need to change - just out of curiosity, if I leave the phone S-ON will this affect OTA updates?
Then factory reset the phone - I should be back to a stock phone.
Would these steps be correct?

No, if you rom is 100% stock (which will be the case after restoring the above backup) and you have stock recovery, youre good for ota update. S-ON/S-OFF doesn't affect ota updates.
Then factory reset the phone - I should be back to a stock phone.

I would highly recommend to follow nkk71's super guide (linked in my signature). Everything is well explained in details, just make sure to read everything before beginning and also read the FAQ of his guide.
To achieve s-off, you will need to use Sunshine if your hboot is 1.57 or above. Sunshine cost 25$ USD. Its the only method to achieve s-off on hboot 1.54 and above.
S-OFF is a must to remove the tampered banner and set back the bootloader to ***LOCKED*** (not ***RE-LOCKED***) so your warranty is still valid, but again everything explained in that guide. If you have any question you can ask here or in nkk71's guide. If you have questions, post an updated "fastboot getvar all" at the same time.

Baseband version is irrelevant when looking for RUUs. You want a ruu that match your CID, MID and firmware base (.401). Also you need the ruu to be hboot 1.44 (1.xx.xxx.x) so you can safely remove the tampered banner. So in our case you must use the 1.28.401.7 ruu.zip.

Downgrading requires s-off, s-off can only be achieved using Sunshine when hboot is 1.57 or newer

Just so I know for the future, I know my firmware base is .401 based on the following line:
(bootloader) version-main: 6.09.401.10
Is this right? Thank you for your help!

Right and also because your CID and MID are HTC__001 and PN0710000 so the corresponding software/firmware base is x.xx.401.x
