[Q] [Q} Returning to stock on 2.24.401,1

Hi, have been reading up as much as possible, but am after confirmation before I start trying to return to stock.
Basically, I have an unlocked HTC__001 HTC One, s-on ,with an unlocked bootloader which was unlocked via HTCDev.
It was unlocked after being updated to 2.24.401.1, so I have bootloader 1.54, and an active "tampered" flag.
So, i've been playing with a GE rom for a bit but have decided I would like to get my device back to stock. I am under the impression that I could use my custom recovery to flash a stock odexed ROM suitable for my CID from here, then flash the correct radio, then re-flash the correct stock recovery, then re-lock the bootloader and be back to stock. My questions are these:
a) Am I right?
b) If I am right, will I still have the "tampered" flag set in the bootloader? I'm assuming I would.
c) If the flag is still set, will it affect any future OTA updates I may receive?
d) Does anyone know of a method other than this which will get me back to stock?
I have noted that the RUU for my device does not seem to be availabe to download as of yet, only the previous version is available which has the 1.44 bootloader, obviously, if I try to flash that, it will complain about the bootloader version being lower ect. So I don't think that is an option.
Any help would be appreciated, Cheers.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738 Check this guide out

Thanks, but I have read that thread, it doesn't really apply to my situation. That thread is for S-off devices, mine is S-on. And also, it requires running an RUU which for me isn't available. The trouble (i believe) is that when S-on, I cannot run an older RUU than my current device is at. Hence my asking here.

Run a stock ROM like found in mike1986's thread, install the stock recovery and relock your bootloader ... That's all you can do at the moment because you can't go S-Off on Hboot 1.54 so the tampered flag will have to stay until you can.
Read through this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 .. there's everything there that you need to return to stock and receive OTA updates while being S-On. The only time you'll have an issue is if you can't go S-Off to remove the tampered flag and change it from relocked to locked, only an issue if you need to return it under warranty for anything that's happened as a result of you unlocking the bootloader and flashing stuff.

Yeah! That's pretty much what I thought.
Will the tamper flag give me issues do you think?

According to the guy I spoke to at HTC when I sent mine back the other day, it shouldn't. He said they should only refuse to cover repair under warranty if the fault is caused by something you've done, i.e, flashing stuff or deliberate damge or something. Unfortunately that's the risk you take if you need to return it, unless there's a method to change the flag by being S-Off you just have to either not risk it and wait until you can go S-Off and be sure to remove all traces of messing, or you return it and hope for the best lol

Well, I don't need to get it fixed or anything. Just had me play and wanna return it back to normal. I have done as I said I would in the first post and applied a small application update from HTC, so it appears to have worked. As expected, I have Re-locked and Tampered displayed. Will Just wait for S-off to emerge and deal with it then. Thanks for all the replies.

first post need help returning to stock

hello every one this is my first post i need some help please.
i bought a htc one preowned and i have since been in settings and its running a custom rom
android revolution hd 12.1 by mike 1986
my phone cid is htc_001
how do i return it to stock htc os
i have read a few posts before posting here i no i have to re lock bootloader then flash the ruu
i was wondering is there an easier way to relock bootloader and flash the ruu could some one also point me in the right direction
to which ruu to download with a link if possible to download.
thanks in advance for any help u may give with some simple instructions that i can understand as this is new to me and do not want to

says m7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-11111111
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4a.18.3263.15
openDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
so im guessing so

You don't need to relock, if you're s-off you can run whatever RUU you like.

Where was the phone purchased and what was the carrier? It's possible your CID was changed.
Assuming htc__001 is correct, the RUU collection is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
There are no RUUs for 4.2, so this would mean downgrading. But you should then start getting OTAs.
Note that running a RUU will fully wipe the phone. So back up anything on it you want to keep.

You have superCID, which means any RUU will run. You have the generic European model. CIDGetter is pulling the original cid from some system file, but it doesn't reflect the actual cid.

Yes, that's the one you want. You don't need to relock or anything being s-off. Just plug into your computer and run the ruu.

No and no. You have to do those manually, and there is no need to here.

That is a bit trickier and riskier since you don't know what was done to your phone before you bought it. I don't recommend going back to s-on because of this. However, running the correct RUU should put you back to safe stock.
Once the RUU has run and you've confirmed that the phone boots and is back to a stable stock configuration, you need to reboot and run a series of commands in fastboot:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
This will restore your stock CID. Note that there are two underscores there.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Confirm on your bootloader screen that the CID is correct.
fastboot oem lock
This will relock your bootloader. Reboot again and confirm that it says "LOCKED" on your bootloader (Not "RELOCKED"). Boot up your phone and confirm that everything seems to be running correctly. You may want to give this a few days. Then reboot to bootloader when you're comfortable with it.
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
This will put you back to s-on. When you reboot from here, your bootloader should say LOCKED and S-ON as if it was out of the box.

I too need to put my T-mobile HTC One back to stock somehow, but don't even know where to start, I saw this thread so I didn't want to clutter up the subforum, and thought that maybe I should ask here. I'm at 1.27.531.11, S-ON, rooted w/ unlocked bootloader, and would like to make it look like nothing happened to it when I return it to the store tomorrow. Could you please give me some pointers?

You need to s-off first or it will say "RELOCKED" on the bootloader. Problem is you may or may not be able to s-off right now. There is a new T-Mo exploit that supposedly works but I know nothing about it.
Once you do that, you can run an older RUU, which will remove the TAMPERED from the bootloader, then relock and s-on as described above.

Crap. Well I know they're not going to check the bootloader lol, just that when you turn on the phone, you'll see the red text at the bottom saying "Developmental purposes" and I can't remember the rest of the message. Can I make that disappear so it just shows nothing on the white background but the green HTC logo? Btw thanks for the reply.

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...

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.

Hi nkk71, is it possible to flash the ruu that you linked above to back to stock so i'll be able to run rumrunner S-off.. Cuz i tried in ARHD 13.1 didnt work after 8 pouring it says "please wait 30 seconds and run rumrunner again,press enter to exit" I had multiple attempts already and never worked..

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:

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

[Q] Retain S-off and bootloader unlock after RUU?

Apologies if this is a noob question or has been answered before, but I just ran the RUU and I retained S-off and my bootloader was still unlocked afterwards. Is this suppose to happen?
I'll try and make this short: I had HBOOT 1.44 (S-off with revone and HTC Dev unlocked). I saw OMJ's thread with newer firmwares and a 4.06.651.4 RUU. I flashed the firmware, verified everything worked still, and ran the RUU (for peace of mind). RUU was successful but the fastboot screen still shows the pink ***UNLOCKED*** text and S-OFF message. Current HBOOT is 1.56.

hmm, i might have to try this later on...i was concerned it might relock or i might have to lock but i guess not?(ive been trying to search and find out but i think you answered my question lol)

Once S-OFF, always S-OFF, unless you write the secureflag to be S-ON again.

Yes you have to do a FASTBOOT RELOCK COMMAND to make the phone secure. You can also use root linux to disguise the bootloader/Hboot to make it appear S-ON if you choose. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565201

[Q] How to Debrand HTC One

I have a HTC One on the EE network in the UK and I am still currently on Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5, they haven't bothered to release Android 4.4 yet and I have no hope that they will release Sense 6.
So, I would like to know how to go about changing my EE branded phone into an Unlocked International Version so that I can receive OTA updates direct from HTC.
Current CID: ORANG001
Current Hboot: 1.55
Current Software Number: 3.63.61.1
Radio: 4A.21.3263.04
Locked Bootloader with S-On
I would very much appreciate any help you can give.
Thank-You

first of all you need to unlock your bootloader and s-off your phone, debrand is not possible with s=on
the you would need to change your cid to something like HTC__001 or developer edition cid, one fastboot command required to do this.
and then run the correct RUU for those cid's and your done.
its quite easy to do, the hardest part is getting s-off, however you may be ok on 1.55 hboot, try rumrunner, read the instructions and download the required file here: http://rumrunner.us/

Do I need custom recovery? If so which is best.
And do I need to have a custom ROM installed to gain s-off or can s-off be achieved on my current EE branded ROM?
Thanks

nope its not required for either, you should be able to s-off on stock rom, if you get an error or for some reason it fails, then you MAY have to flash a custom recovery and custom rom / kernel.
The RUU's will put you back to fully stock anyway in the end.

If the s-off does cause an error or it fails, can this cause my device to get bricked?
And by fully stock do you mean that the RUU turns s-on and locks my boot loader? (just in case I need to send my phone in for repair).

no your phone wont brick
and no the ruu wont turn your phone s-on, you will need to lock your bootloader before running the RUU, but that's one simple command too, but only after s-off.
all you need right now is to make sure you have the drivers installed and that your device is detected in windows both when booted into a rom and on the bootloader screen.

not really something they will check to be honest, but if you s-on and you've played about with your phone down the line, like flashed a modified firmware or hboot, you will get an instant brick, if your hboot version is too high you will get the tampered flag back, or if you make a mistake along the way and the fix requires s-off, it will be very difficult to get again.

So, is the following step by step list correct.
1. Unlock boot loader
2. Get s-off via rumrunner
3. Change CID
4. Lock boot loader
5. Run RUU
And, I am currently on 4.3 and Sense 5.5, so can I go straight to the sense 6 and Android 4.4 RUU, or do I have to install the sense 5.5 and Android 4.4 RUU first.

yup that's the correct order, and you will have to use this RUU as its the only full RUU available, everything else is just OTA's
