Going back to stock ..needing some feedback :) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Just wanting some feedback on whether I'm going about this correctly. Currently on Android Revolution and I'm wanting to go back to stock. Bootloader is unlocked, S-off, Hboot 1.44 and SuperCID (previously Optus unbranded), TWRP recovery
This is what I get from my getvar :

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
getvar:all FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.078s
Just wanting to confirm that I'm going about this the right way. I found this CWM nandroid of stock. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc__039-2-24-980-2-zip/
So as far as I can tell, I should change the cid to HTC__039 , flash CWM recovery, and then just use that backup to restore. Is this correct? I've had a read through the Guru site and I'm just wanting to make absolutely sure there isn't anything I'm missing before I follow through. I'm assuming I don't have to be S-On?
Thanks in advance

Anyone?

Yes, that looks pretty close. There is no need to lose S-Off. I would follow Mike1986's guide. I could not check the Guru site, it was down.
1. Change CID? If you are returning to stock to return the phone then yes if not then keep it SuperCID
2. Flash CWM recovery
3. Flash nandroid backup
4. Check if stock recovery, if not follow steps in Mike's guide
5. Lock bootloader? See step 1

Thanks for the info. I was pretty sure that I had most of it right, but I just wanted to make sure. It's been a ages since I played around with modding HTC phones so I'd gotten pretty rusty when it comes to S-on/ S-off, hboot, and what's needed to do certain things HTC-wise. Kept getting the feeling I might have been missing something even after scouring the forums.
Thanks again:good:

Htc One Problem

Hi everyone,
Im kind of new to the android world and stupid for me i did things without being absolutely certain. So i have an unlocked originally Rogers Htc one and i had it under the google play edition rom with cwm recovery installed, unlocked bootloader and all that good stuff. I needed to send it in for warranty purposes so i wanted to try to put it back to stock sense 5 rom. i followed tons upon tons of videos and i ended finding an RUU that might have worked so i relocked my bootloader and followed the processes but every time i did typed the "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" command it would go 75% of the way and then stop but in the command window it said successful. Unlocked my bootloader again but i forgot that it wipes everything so now i dont even know if i have cwm installed to flash any rom at all. So basically i think my phone is bricked :'( im crying my head off. If anyone has any input on how i can convert this htc one back to stock and working or even any custom rom just so it can work please let me know im really scared at this point.
when i typed in fastboot getvar all i got this
(bootloader) version: 0.5

You've tried to flash a firmware, not a ruu
However, you're on 1.44 hboot, you can use the revone tool for put your phone in s-off.
With the s-off you can port your phone like a stock phone (the same of when you bought it).
Now, for use the revone, you need a rom.
For install a rom, go to fastboot, reflash the CWM or the TWRP.
After, go to advanced and press: adb sideload, and, from a prompt of your pc, do this command:
Code:
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
(you should have the rom into the adb folder).
Now the recovery will flash the rom, and you can use the revone for acheive the s-off.
When you've the s-off, you can restore a nandroid backup and relock the bootloader with the text (locked).
Or, you can change CID and MID for unbrand your phone and flash all ruu you want.
p.s. I will advice you to remove the imei and the serial number of your phone
+1 on the S-Off part, do it while you still can.
If you flash a new firmware (has to be signed of course since you're s-on), it will update your hboot to 1.54/1.55 and then you won't get a chance to get s-off.
Personally, I think that's the first thing to do. And this in turn will allow you a lot of possibilities to return fully to stock; otherwise your bootloader will always say "RELOCKED" and "TAMPERED", as opposed to just LOCKED.
IMHO

[Q] Back to Stock for Bell HTC One

I have been reading a lot of guides and I am still not sure how I can take my Bell phone and bring it back to stock. I have S-OFF and GPE right not which I installed via a zipped RUU.
Now, if I want to get the latest 4.2.2 that Bell made available for the HTC One, I have to somehow be able to get the OTA and have no custom recovery. I could not find an RUU ZIP or EXE for bell (666), only a stock ROM. I could install that but comes the OTA, it won't install because of the custom recovery.
How can I go back to stock from here? I have been told by a few to just stick to the GPE edition but I would like to got back to sense.
Thank you.

NKK71 helped me bring the phone back to stock GPE, but I'm getting weird problems and I am not sure why, but I remember I didn't have those problems with stock. Stuff like streaming not working over WiFi, MMS messages not sent when I have WiFi enabled, stuff like that.
The problem is that Bell (x.xx.666x.) has no RUU that I can find, only a nandroid which I could use but that won't give me the option to get the OTA (I think)

yes sadly there is only nandroid of BM right now
I just updated the firmware today, the one I had was for 4.3 so I upgraded that. I'm just not sure if the problems come from the fact that there is no HTC One google edition in Canada and that either my radios or firmware are not working perfectly on bell.

yeah maybe that could be the problem
why not try the nandroid and see how it goes?
Hmm, you are going to have a HBOOT mismatch if you run the Canadian Restock method in my guide posted in my signature, as it uses 1.55HBOOT for 4.3 JB, but you are on 1.56 HBOOT.
However if you run the RUU ZIP file for TELUS, you will get the right HBOOT. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...157-04_release_336571_signed_2_decrypted-zip/
Download and rename to Telus.zip
See if you can do this:
fastboot oem writecid TELUS001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip Telus.zip
fastboot flash zip Telus.zip (You will need to run this command twice due to HBOOT downgrade)
fastboot reboot (if it doesn't reboot automatically)
NOTE: I have not personally ran the ZIP file above, but it should be fine.
Oh Wow, there is a guide for Canadian HTC One, didn't know that!
Are you sure that a Telus RUU will work on a Bell phone? They use different networks I think

As I said, i have no personally tested it, but thats the only way to bring your HBOOT down to 1.55.
Other option will be to go all the way down to 1.44 HBOOT. You NEED to be comfortable with using adb/fastboot commands REGARDLESS whichever options you decide to go with.

I know how to go back to 1.44, I have done that before.
So what you are saying is that if I have the nandroid installed, and stock recovery from your thread, the phone will detect the OTA? It should install no problem because it will be a standard recovery.
Yes 1.44 HBOOT, 1.44 Compatible BELL Nandroid, and Stock recovery will give you future OTAs.

Thatk you, one last question before I try this, the OTA, will it replace the radios and firmware as well to Bell's? I guess it depends on what they put in the OTA.
Yes, OTA generally contain new OS, HBOOT, Recovery, and RADIO, practically a full RUU replacement, but not all. IF you are S-ON, you will need to lock bootloader after loading stock recovery, but if you are S-OFF, that doesnt matter, and I will suggest to stay S-OFF!
Please help

make sure to have read it once or twice, to be sure you're comfortable with the process

you should be a bit more specific (renovate and 2.7.0.3 could mean a lot of things
1- start by posting a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI, MEID, and s/n)
2- an actual link to the threads (and downloads) of the files (and versions) you mentioned... cause i don't see TWRP 2.7.0.3 in either the m7_u/ul or the m7_wls models
I'm assuming TWRP, but you know what they say about assumption...

i thought only GPE ROMs require S-Off... didnt see anything in the OP about having to be S-Off.
anyway, if you're trying to S-Off best use a ROM which is inline with your firmware (so check your fastboot getvar all), then find a ROM based on the same version (rooted with unsecured kernel) and use firewater to get s-off
at least we now know you're on Sprint... cause you've only linked Sprint stuff ... i'm assuming
yes i'm on sprint lol

ARHD 9.4 is Sprint compatible (select Sprint in the installer), it's rooted, it has an unsecured kernel, and you can even use revone to S-Off
http://firewater-soff.com/ and http://rumrunner.us/ should work also, your choice
thanks.
think i'll try rum. revone aint working.

[Q] Rooting after 5.03.651.3 OTA Update Questions

Sprint HTC ONE
Background:
Just spent the last 15 hours flashing back to 4.06.651.4 stock rom in order to take the new OTA update 5.03.651.3. Somehow I managed to brick my phone to where it would only stay stuck on the green HTC with white background. The only thing that I was able to get to work was booting into the bootloader and play with fastboot commands. I had CWM recovery installed but could never get adb to discover the phone to sideload a rom onto the memory card. I had no backup, and pretty much had everything wiped and formatted on the phone. I went througt installing back and fourth twrp, cwm, and different stock recoveries, and hours of trying different things to no avail. What got my phone back up and going was at some point changing my cid to 11111111(not sure if this did anything for me), flashing 4.06.651.4_firmware.zip, then running Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU.zip (ARUWizard.exe) while in fastboot oem rebootRUU mode. Since then I have installed the 4.06.651.9 OTA and then the 5.03.651.3 OTA which is where I stand at this point.
That being said, here's the state of my phone currently:
No Root
CID: 11111111 ( I don't remember what it should say incase I need to warranty the phone)
S-off
bootloader unlocked (did lock it but found out I didn't have to since I was s-off and since then unlocked)
hboot went from 1.56 to 1.57

Can I gain Root on being on 5.03.651.3?
If I have to reinstall a custom recovery to gain root, would I be able to flash back to the current stock recovery?
Having the new ver. of hboot 1.57, would I be able to downgrade back to 1.56 using the 4.06.651.4_firmware.zip, to flash back to stock 4.06.651.4 if I want to factory reset and unroot, s-on, and lock the bootloader if necessary?
And last of all what should the CID show from factory on the new OTA?
Basically what I want is to have factory everything rooted so I can get rid of the bloatware. Nice and simple that's all.
Much appreciated!!!

Sprint HTC ONE
Background:
Just spent the last 15 hours flashing back to 4.06.651.4 stock rom in order to take the new OTA update 5.03.651.3. Somehow I managed to brick my phone to where it would only stay stuck on the green HTC with white background. The only thing that I was able to get to work was booting into the bootloader and play with fastboot commands. I had CWM recovery installed but could never get adb to discover the phone to sideload a rom onto the memory card. I had no backup, and pretty much had everything wiped and formatted on the phone. I went througt installing back and fourth twrp, cwm, and different stock recoveries, and hours of trying different things to no avail. What got my phone back up and going was at some point changing my cid to 11111111(not sure if this did anything for me), flashing 4.06.651.4_firmware.zip, then running Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU.zip (ARUWizard.exe) while in fastboot oem rebootRUU mode. Since then I have installed the 4.06.651.9 OTA and then the 5.03.651.3 OTA which is where I stand at this point.
That being said, here's the state of my phone currently:
No Root
CID: 11111111 ( I don't remember what it should say incase I need to warranty the phone)
S-off
bootloader unlocked (did lock it but found out I didn't have to since I was s-off and since then unlocked)
hboot went from 1.56 to 1.57

Alright, so answering your questions:
1. Yes you can get root being on 5.03.651.3.
2. 99% sure you can't, unless you RUU; but if you RUU you completely lose everything including root.
3. Yeah you can if you're S-OFF.
ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS:
http://download.chainfire.eu/450/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip
Try downloading that file and then flashing it in TWRP. I haven't tested this though as the ROM that I'm using is prerooted.
There's a video by fellow member @zedomax that tells you how to do this, although the SuperSU zip in his video is outdated as the video's made in 2013 , so I linked you the latest one above.
EDIT: Oh and the factory CID for the Sprint HTC One is SPCS_001.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my thread and answering all of my questions. I will try rooting when I get home tonight. Thanks again!!!

You could also use these commands if you are S-off
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip
fastboot reboot
this could flash a recovery since you are S-off and flash back your stock recovery... Make sure you include an android-info.txt file...
In the android-info.txt file include this:
modelid: PN0720000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 1.29.651.10
hbootpreupdate:3
with that txt file and a recovery be it stock or a custom you can do what you like.

In reference to your answer on #2, Why can't you flash back to current stock recovery?
I'm curious to know because, i'm stocked ROM rooted, TRWP (lastest version), s-On. and i've been updating my firmware OTA.
I download the OTA firmware then flashboot stock recovery, reboot phone and perform the update. Once it's done, i then flashboot custom recovery (TWRP) and flash SuperSU to gain root again. The firmware version I"m on now is 5.03.651.3.
So basically, i'm concerned that i won't be able to flash stock recovery whenever the next firmware update occurs, using the method i've just described.

HTC ONE M7 Rooting - How would I go back?

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?
Thank you for your help

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?

yes:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
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 Exactly - just out of curiosity, if I leave the phone S-ON will this affect OTA updates? 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.

My phone has hit the purple tint issue which is a well known fault. I have spoken to HTC and they have said that they will fix under warranty. I need to return the phone back to stock. I know I can use the nandroid backup and the recovery in the post above but I am very confused on how to S-off.
My problem is there are so many guides (some of them being very old) on how to do this and I do not know which method to use. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can return my phone back to stock.

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.

The guide is really good, just one thing has thrown me though, Im not too sure which RUU to use.
I can see RUU for:
CID HTC__001
and MID PN0710000
but not baseband 4T.29.3218.08
Do I just use the files you linked me to in the posts above?

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

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-zip/
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.

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