[Q]Reverting to stock firmware (three) and stock ROM (s-off)

Hey guys,
Right, I have a hardware issue with my phone so need to return it to Three UK.
Currently I have Android Revolution HD 11 on my phone and have updated to 2.17 firmware, s-off.
So I need stock, firmware to be reverted to 1.28.771 and to change my CID to H3G__001 (currently HTC__001). There doesn't appear to be an RUU for three.
First off I'm assuming the H3G nandroid backup in the "[COLLECTION] HTC M7 RUU, OTA, and Stock Nandroid Downloads" thread doesn't actually touch the firmware so it would remain at 2.17?
So my thinking is this:
Flash the generic europe RUU (do I need to lock my bootloader before doing this)? (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe)
Change CID to H3G__001
Nandroid restore of H3G ROM. (M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID H3G__001 / 1.28.771.x )
s-off to lock and remove tamper.
s-on.
OTA update?
Will this work?
Or does anyone have a link to the 1.28.771 firmware?
Thanks for the help.

Any ideas?

You don't have to lock the bootloader and you need s-off to downgrade.

Rest of the steps...well sounds good but unfortunatelly i'm not expert so dunno
I'm really interested if it works this way for you as i have a VF-uk one, and once i have to go back to stock this info would be really helpful.
Please let we know your progress
Good luck

Hey,
Yup this worked perfectly (almost). Reset your CID to your originally carriers before running the nandroid backup or it will be missing your carriers boot screen.
The only thing is the recovery seems to be missing. I'd expect the HTC recovery to load when selecting it from the bootloader but all I get is a red triangle. I obviously need to sort this before sending it back (Monday).
Any ideas?
I haven't s-on'd yet because I want to sort out recovery first. That should be pretty simple though.

I guess I just need a link to stock recovery.img.

Just tried and mine does same. I have stock recovery so thats fine.
Hope you get a nice new one:laugh:
Cheers

Stock recovery will display a red triangle..your all set

Yup. I just realised. Completely 100% back to stock now with s-on.
It's been quite a journey. Hopefully they can repair it quickly so I can get ARHD 11 back on.

Would you make the step by step?
It would really helpful
If I ain't wrong,
1. Get the RUU's
2. Change CID to HTC_001 before flashing RUU
3. Flash RUU
4. Write original CID
5. Nandroid Restore
6. Re S-ON with Revone
Is that right?

Yup, those are the exact steps that I took.
Note* make sure you just boot into custom recovery and don't actually flash it when restoring your nandroid backup. Having custom recovery on your device is a dead give away.

Normally you would use the following command to install custom recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Use this command instead:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
That allows you to boot into custom recovery without actually installing it onto your phone.

If you are returning your phone for service then you can run an RUU if your phone has one.
It will reset everything back to stock, even the firmware. Check here:

If your s-off then a RUU can downgrade your firmware. (I did this on a phone I returned for service without issues) If you are still s-on I don't think it will.
You just download the RUU.exe and run it on your PC and it guides you through resetting everything on the phone.

thank you very much,i'll try it.if there aren't my ruus of region,I use other region ruu,can I get warranty?

That depends on the carrier/vendor. If you don't have a RUU you could also run an RUU for another area (Since your S-off) to downgrade the firmware and then root it and use one of the posted stock nandroids to restore to your proper areas stock config. Then do the stuff to re-lock your bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497

I can back to stock rom,but firmware version can't change,because there aren't ruu of HongKong,any ideas to change firmware version?

Since your S-off you can change your CID to use another RUU like this one:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...14325013-1033115001-release-311678-signedexe/
The RUU will set the device firmware back to stock. Then restore your stock ROM and you should be ok.
Also if you have it stock rom and setup now, you may just want to put S-on so that it says Locked and S-on on bootloader and your vendor will probably not care about the firmware version.

The red warning in hboot is from being unlocked. Once you have back to stock (especially recovery) then the red warning will be gone. For sure after re-locking.

how can I backup stock recovery?
because there are not ruu of HK,so I should use TWRP to restore nandroid backup from HK htc one. then back to stock recovery .

Yes you would TWRP to restore and then flash the stock recovery and relock.
Here is a post where I helped another and it has the stock recovery and instructions for flashing if needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43625746&postcount=17
Just an FYI that this method will not downgrade the firmware, but just get you back to locked and a stock look, but with the newer firmware.
Let me know if you need something else.

[Q] Need help. Relocked and S-On GPE. Cannot unlock it and can't boot.

Hey guys. I was trying to install a ROM, but when I installed TWRP I was put into a bootloop. Now, I have managed to get myself into a bad pickle. I have S-On and my bootloader is relocked. I cannot get fastboot oem unlock to work so I'm pretty limited. I need large amounts of help now. Thanks guys.

As long as TWRP still works your not totally screwed, flash a rom and get s-off again and use the GURU bootloader tool to unlock, don't try and flash a RUU or firmware with stock recovery that will really be the end

[Q] - android L update problem

Hi everyone. I've got this odd problem with updating my HTC m7 to android L. I downloaded the file with 7.19.401.102 firmware number and then flashed the stock recovery from 6.09.401.111 stock ROM which I'm currently running on my phone. I started the installation and after some time the red triangle showed up and after restarting the update file was deleted... My phone is rooted with ElementalX kernel... Have I done something wrong? What should I do before updating(unrooting, going completely stock...)? Is this the right firmware for my phone?(my cid and mid are mid:711000 and cid: HTC__J15), if not, can someone tell me the correct firmware?
Can someone make a nand backup from 7.19.401.101 and upload it somewhere?
I'd appreciate any help... Thanks

First time I tried upgraded and I didn't have backup than I flashed with pure stock 7.19.401.22. I was sad that I loose or my settings, apps etc but I was supprised because after flash I had all settings etc and firmware ver was still 7.19.401.2. I don't understand it. Can I flash phone with ruu and keep all setting etc when I've got s-off bootloader unlock. Do I have to block bootlader before flash ruu?

How long did you waited? The first boot can take like 10 minutes.
You can flash the 7.19.401.22 ruu.zip, no need to re-lock the bootloader if the phone is s-off. The RUU will wipe everything from the phone.
