Is there a way to make it so my HTC One is back to complete factory settings. I want it back as if I'd never touched it. Unrooted, locked, S-ON, HTC Sence, stock firmware, etc.
I'm not so great at all this stuff, so some simple instructions rather than just a tonne of links would be great! Eg. flash this, do this, install this recovery, etc.
Thanks,
Joe

Maybe you should start by describing what you did to your phone? Also post the output of fastboot getvar all except IMEI

you want to return it to stock like if you had never touched it.. So you want stock software, locked bootloader and S-ON ? If you are not sending your phone for a repair under warranty, I'll recommend you to keep unlocked bootloader and S-OFF or at least locked bootloader but S-OFF. Do you want to be on latest stock version? If yes then its almost impossible to s-off again on hboot 1.56.
What is your goal to restore your phone back to 100% stock?
Also need to know what operating system is on your computer.

Just in case I do need to send it off for repair or replacement, I don't want a tampered device. Just don't want that risk. I'm running WIndows 7.

You should keep s-off unless really necessary, not ''just in case''. If you need to send your phone for repair in the future, with s-off, you'll be able to remove the tampered flag and s-on again before sending it back to repair. But atm turning back S-ON is the risk you should not take imo.
Again if you go back to stock and update your phone to the latest version then it will be very difficult or even not possible to s-off again.
Im waiting your decision to guide you.
S-OFF is a gift and should never be taken for granted. If you throw it away it may not be available to you again.
S-ON is an operation I would defer until I learned that I actually *need* to send in the phone to someone who cares if it is S-ON or not.
S-ON is always the last step in any "going back to stock " process, the very last thing before the phone leaves your possession. And even then the step is usually optional. Warranty repair people often don't care, eBay doesn't care, it's just really rare that there is *any* actual benefit.

Okay, I think I'll stick with S-OFF, I just want a really stable build, as close to stock as possible. Decent battery life, decent speed, and not too much hassle to return to complete stock if necessary.
I'll take your advice on what you think is best!

You can use the stock RUU for your phone version, so you'll be 100% stock rom but with s-off and unlocked bootloader

Easy to do with S-OFF
So you can use the latest RUU for your phone which you can find here
this will make your phone 100% stock (except s-off and unlocked bootloader). This will wipe everything on your phone so be sure to backup your media and personal data before on your computer.
download the exe file (about 1.5Gb)
plug your phone to your computer ( I assume your htc drivers are already installed correctly, if yes, your device is listed as ''My HTC'' in windows device manager)
launch the ruu.exe and follow instructions.

Hi there,
I downloaded the RUU and ran it and followed all instructions but it encounters an error every time. It doesn't give any information on what the error is, it just stays on the silver HTC logo and the software says it has failed. It doesn't get stuck in a bootloop though.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
I redownloaded it and ran it and it has been stuck on "0/5 sending" for the last 20 minutes or so, the interface says the whole process should take 10 minutes, is this normal?

I just read somewhere that hboot 1.44 might be needed, and I have 1.54. So I shall flash 1.44 and see if it works then!
EDIT: When trying to flash hboot 1.44 it won't even send the 501kb zip file, even through a brand new usb cable. Updating drivers now to see if that works
I have an HTC One M7 (European unlocked version). I'm trying to restore it to the stock software, but I don't care about the "locked/re-locked" status, so I didn't bother getting s-off. Right now I have the stock odexed ROM that I got from here and TWRP 2.6.3.3.
This is the RUU file I'm trying to use. (The "stock ROM" I have now is version 4.19.401.8 instead, and has support for OTA updates, but it says my phone is up to date even if it's not.)
I know that to get a RUU working on an HTC phone, you have to re-lock the bootloader. So I did. This is my fastboot info now:

At the top the screen says "tampered" and "relocked."
So, still being on fastboot and aware that all the data in the phone would be gone, I ran the RUU file on my windows pc. It started up and I went through the setup. It rebooted my phone to a black screen with a gray htc logo and started the process.
However, I've noticed it's been at 5% and saying "checking headers" for a bit too long now. I waited an hour and it was still stuck. I held down the power button on my phone until it rebooted. It still booted up and worked fine, nothing was deleted. Tried again, same thing. I'm sure I'm using the right RUU file, and the MD5 checks fine. I remember doing this on an htc one v, I was in the same exact situation and everything went through. Why doesn't it work with my m7?
Now my bootloader is locked and if I re-unlock it, it will delete all my stuff. I can still use the phone fine, but I want stock rom, recovery and everything, so I can also get the official sense 6 update. I could do s-off if I really have to, if that's what it takes to get the RUU working. My phone's still rooted, but I don't think the firewater or whatever utility to get s-off works with a locked bootloader. What I'd like to do is just get the RUU working, but it's not. Have I screwed up? Do I re-unlock the bootloader and have to resort to custom roms on this phone? Please help. If I didn't provide enough info, tell me.

Great information! Your post is a model of HOW a question should be posted!
Anyway, if 4.x.401.x RUU is NOT working, try another computer, if it is still not working, then yes, S-OFF, flash 1.44 HBOOT, and run the http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-zip/ RUU. This will take you back a few months ago, but you will be able to OTA all the way upto Sense 6!

Haha, thanks, I guess nearly 3 years of lurking on these forums taught me something about posting.
I was using a Windows Vista SP2 PC to try this. I've just tried it on my Mac running Windows 7 SP1 with bootcamp, the RUU file (which still checks out with the correct MD5 hash) starts the installshield wizard normally, but as soon as I accept the terms and conditions, the program closes and nothing opens again. I checked on task manager, the process closes shortly after accepting the terms. I tried restarting and looking up for a solution but I couldn't find anything that worked.
Is Vista really the only reason it's stuck at checking headers? I know Vista is rather despised by a lot of people, but by 2014 it did get better. I'd rather use that machine because on my Mac running Windows 7 the RUU could not start up because I've made the Windows partition too small. (It has around 3gb free now whereas the vista machine has more than 150).
Sorry for the double post, but it's probably my last one on this thread.
Even if my boot loader was re-locked, I tried running the firewater program to get s-off, and it worked. (As a bonus it re-unlocked my boot loader without wiping the phone, but I re-locked it again to get the ruu working).
Then I tried downgrading to hboot 1.44, but for some reason it kept giving an error like "failed: remote 42 custom id check fail." I decided to try the sense 5.0 ruu anyway (on my vista PC), and it worked! The phone now says "relocked" but tampered is gone of course, and I have hboot 1.44, android 4.1 and htc sense 5.0, but still s-off.
The first update popped up (and it's not android 4.4 with sense 6, it's something in between) so I'm going to update until no more updates are available. Then I'm going to re-unlock the boot loader because I want to root my phone, and then set up all my stuff. When a new update comes out, I can just flash the original recovery, apply the update and then re-flash twrp to root again.
Thank you for the suggestion to install the older ruu. I'm still stumped on why the newer one didn't work (it would have caused much less hassle), but whatever. At least my phone is much cleaner now. It feels good to have it like this again, I'm not against custom roms but I like the stock software too.
I'm using my iPhone to write this, but trust me, my htc is in full working order now.
Until next problem I can't solve myself

Yeah, I'm not going to. I've updated to android 4.3 now and I'm still downloading updates--it updated hboot to 1.55 but I still have s-off, so I believe it stays s-off if I don't run the command to (I guess irreversibly) go back to s-on, which I don't even know. (I didn't do s-off before because I didn't care about the extra privileges and was afraid of bricking my phone, but now that I have it I don't mind so I'm keeping it).

Hi guys,
First of all, I did read all the topics conserning to RUU, S-On/S-Off, rumrunner, moonshine, firewater, revone, and so on but I can't seem to figure out how to properly do this.
Currently the HTC is running MIUI v5 4.5.16 JB4.2. But for warranty it has to go back to the store and I want to restore it to completly stock ROM etc. without any evidence I had a custom ROM running.
What I did was, follow the steps to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recover (TWRP v2.6.3.0) and finally root it after MIUI was flashed.
The info you guys prolly need are as followed:

Yeah but what if I need it to go back to stock ROM?
Now it's running stock ROM but I still get "TAMPERED" and "UNLOCKED" in the bootloader. I once went into the stock recovery, and once rebooted it reset itself and everything was back factory install -again- ...?

The OTA update to 4.3 even fails once it reboots itself for installation. Something wrong or normal?
EDIT:
I've done "fastboot oem lock" and now it's showing (as expected) "RELOCKED".

Yup it will do, the only way to get rid of those flags tampered and unlocked / relocked is to go s-off, which strange messages are you getting whilst trying to s-off ?
I have a backup of the Vodafone Rom which you can restore through twrp, I'll send a link when I get home in a couple of hours, but it won't get rid of those flags, 401.RUU is the wrong RUU, you need 161.
---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------
Ps there is no danger going s-off, as long as your flashing the correct software for your phone, the only danger is when you don't know what your doing and try to flash something wrong, it won't warn you, won't error and won't fail to flash, but at reboot it also won't come back on again.

I have a backup of the Vodafone Rom which you can restore through twrp, I'll send a link when I get home in a couple of hours, but it won't get rid of those flags, 401.RUU is the wrong RUU, you need 161.
---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------
Ps there is no danger going s-off, as long as your flashing the correct software for your phone, the only danger is when you don't know what your doing and try to flash something wrong, it won't warn you, won't error and won't fail to flash, but at reboot it also won't come back on again.

Well... It said it had a OTA update (like before) to 4.3 and I downloaded it. Reboot, installed, reboot --> bootloop. Now it's "HTC - quietly brilliant", black screen for couple of seconds and reboot to start from HTC logo again...
It's really beginning to piss me of.
But anyway, thanks for the help! A TWRP backup of 161 would be nice, then I'll install that one. The servers at htc1guru are giving me headache, speed is only between 50 and 250 kb/sec! I tried to download more then once but they keep failing on me when they reach bigger sizes and at this speed it's really really annoying to start over again...
Does "M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID VODAP102 1.29.161.7" work for me? I guess not because it's 1.29 and I already have a higher version so it will give me the touchscreen issues?
To be honest, if this phone finally makes it to the store for repair I hope they can't repair it and let me choose an other phone. I had multiple Android phones the past years (with sometimes more then 2-3 different roms per week) and never had any of these long stretching problems!
The problem your having with the ota sounds like whilst you were installing the guru reset file, you must select to wipe data and also install stock recovery, it will fail without stock recovery.
Well, I did select to install the stock recovery and stock radio in the aroma installer. So I'm out of clues why it's giving me so much problems...
EDIT:
I unlocked the bootloader again and flashed TWRP. I'll try with your Vodafone image once you have time to share it with me. Already big thanks for the help!
here's the backup, you will need to extract the zip file and put the folder named backup into SDCARD/TWRP/BACKUPS/"your device serial number/
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=5940&id=0B_nEcSZr5peRZnpMSHRPRjlzX2c
This will put you on Vodafone 4.4.2 with sense 5.5, however you cant send your phone back until you have got rid of those 2 flags in the bootloader, only way to do that is s-off.
Ignore the folder called recovery, its just TWRP recovery to flash.
After installing, download the stock recovery from the link below and flash it to get OTAs

Hit the thanks button please.
Just finished installing it! It works so far, although it came up with a new 5.16.161.2 update right now (already has been downloaded...). What should I do?
Currently it's still in TAMPERED and UNLOCKED state with TWRP installed.

there is no way out of this without s-off, I don't even understand why you are putting efforts on installing ota/guru reset/nandroid backup at this point.
you are on hboot 1.56 means you should try to s-off using firewater.
then you'll be able to remove the tampered flag and set the bootload back to "LOCKED" (not RE-LOCKED)

I know. I tried to get s-off but none of the given tools succeeded. They all complete their full cycle and eventually after the last reboot I go and check the state and it still says s-on... Then I did read I need a proper ROM so the tools can work (better). I tried to install ARHD like you mention, but after flashing it was stuck in a bootloop again. Clearing the cache and davlik didn't solve it.
At the moment I only need to know if it's safe to update to the new 5.16.161.2 update while it's unlocked... I got TWRP installed but I know I have to flash the stock recovery in order to make the update work. But I'm afraid I'm going to brick it again if I lock it again, as I don't know if it's needed to let the update complete without any errors.
[Fixed][Solution]
This should work for anyone who soft bricked there device but still has the 1.44 HBoot to allow them to still flash a recovery. I did not come up with any of this but was helped by nkk71 who showed me the way. I dealt with this problem for over 2 days now non-stop trying to fix it only missing 1 step that made all the difference.
This method is for a HTC One (M7) Sprint Variant:
-Be sure to use HTCDev to unlock your phone and flash a custom recovery. (I used TWRP)
-Be sure to have all the adb and fastboot exe files needed. If you bricked your phone you most likely already do but if not there are tons of links on the forums to help you get all the information you need from them.
-Check to make sure what RUU your phone is at by going into fastboot and using a cmd window type: fasboot getvar all. This will display your phones information. If you happen to be at 1.31 like my phone was you will need to do the next step, if not then find your recovery.
- Fix your version main to say 1.29.651.10 by editing the misc partition
Boot into recovery
In the recovery mount your device. I mounted all parts in TWRP.
Open a cmd window and doucle check that your device is connected by typing: adb devices
(If it shows a set up numbers and letters and then says recovery then that is your device.)
Now type: adb shell
type: echo "1.29.651.10" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 seek=160
type: adb reboot bootloader
Once it loads back into the bootloader click on fastboot and check to see if your device is connected by typing: fastboot devices
If you see you device type: fastboot oem lock (This will relock your device)
- Now you are ready to run the RUU. (After it runs your phone is back to stock)
If any of this is confusing, there are links below that were used to get me through this. If you need to do this I wish you luck.
Original Post:
So basically I erased everything. Not sure how but phone Bricked. Luckily i have a 1.44Hboot and I simply just burned the recovery back.
Unforunately I've stopped messing with phones for about 2 years so it took me forever to get everything set back up properly. Now my biggest issue is I can't manage to get a ROM to boot anymore. The closest one is ViperOne 8, I've tried Android Revolution HD91.1 (which started all my troubles), NUSenSeven which is having issues for more people as well, and tried a very basic Stock M7 one.
Any information you give please act like I'm stupid. I can do adb and fastboot, but if you just say flash it, please dont expect me to know how. I've forgotten tons.
Anyways, currently my phone shows the:
*Tampered*
*Unlocked*
S-On
I have been trying to get it to S-off and then remove the Tampered but I can't get s-off with Revone.
Gives me Error = 1 and I'm just totally lost. But not I can't even seem to get a ROM to load and when it does I have no Service on this phone anymore and I have to remove the HTCsetupwizard.apk. Unfortunately sometimes this does not show up in system/app and under system might not show anything at all.
If that is standard to happen right after a fresh install without loading then that kind of makes sense. Also, I only wait about 10minutes on booting for the roms. Only Rom I wait longer on is the ViperOne 8 as it shows upgrading.
Please advise, I'm will to try anything. I'm having a huge headache with this and throwing the phone into a wall is becoming a reality.

1- please post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI, MEID and s/n)
2- looks like you're on Sprint, which is different that the GSM version of the M7, and has a different partition table
3- you may need to use an RUU to get your partitions back to normal
4- revone wont work on such new ROMs, even if hboot is 1.44 the ROM still plays a factor
let's start with the "fastboot getvar all" output

revone will need hboot 1.44 (dated pre June 2013) and a compatible ROM to work.
So course(s) of action:
A) fix your version main to say 1.29.651.10 by editing the misc partition; example here
then run full 1.29.651.10 RUU.EXE
then you can use revone
or
B) flash newer version RUU.EXE
use sunshine (paid app $25) to get S-OFF
note: you will likely need to update firmware first for the ruu to work properly
hope that points you in the right direction

it's an "old trick", i take no credit at all for it ... as long as hboot version is the same, fixing the version-main (using adb or even the "misctool" <- it's somewhere on xda, dont have a link handy atm) should work fine

Imagine someone frustrated for over 2days spending 10+ hours a day readying, flashing and trying everything to get their phone to work with limited knowledge.
Now imagine that same person jumping up and down with joy. (That's me now)
Thank you so much for your help. Your links did the trick, they were what I couldn't find.
Now that I know how to do this, I'm going to try RevOne, flash a new Firmware and then flash one of the new roms I wanted. If any of this fails then I'm done with this stuff for some time, haha.

I copied and pasted, its exactly what I used. If it's wrong let me know and I'll fix though.
Another update though is I am now Unlocked with S-Off w/o Tampered. Basically what I wanted.
Now should be my last questions, but it's a good idea to update to the newest firmware correct?
Firmware will never be able to stop me from achieve what I just did to fix the phone correct?

Yup, I was going to not do a thing until I had a response. I was just worried I'd somehow mess it up. Just one confirmation that it looked good was enough to give me confidence.
Hey guys, so recently I purchased a htc one m7 (sprint) off of ebay. I planned to fix it because it was listed as in a bootloop. I thought this would be easy to fix, but I have run into some trouble. The phone does not boot, it just sits on the htc screen. Phone is currently s-on. I have full access to fastboot, but thats it. I feel like I have looked everywhere for a solution, but nothing has worked for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Things I have tried:
1. factory reseting from bootloader menu.
2. entering recovery mode through bootloader menu. (goes back into bootloop, assuming recovery is corrupted)
3. unlocking the bootloader with htcdev, but after selecting yes on the popup menu on the phone to unlock, it just goes back into a bootloop, stays locked.
4. flashing twrp (fails due to locked bootloader)
5. using a RUU.exe to flash back to stock (bootloop, gets hung up on "waiting for bootloader..". If i manually put it back into fastboot I get a connection error)
6. using a RUU.zip and flashing through fastboot, but the "fastboot oem rebootRUU" command throws it back into a bootloop. Tried flashing without rebootRUU and got a verification error.
So, any ideas or is this thing bricked? Thanks.
Are you trying to run the RUU while already in fastboot, or are you trying to let the exe boot to fastboot for you? I'm assuming that you are running the RUU from fastboot, and the rebootRUU from the exe is looping you again?
Have you tried flashing the stock recovery?
Have you tried fastboot erase cache? (probably won't help in your situation, but why not?)
Those are some things you could try.
I am having this thread moved to the M7 Q&A forum. You'll have a good chance there of someone providing the steps you need to take to get yourself fixed up.
I suggest that you post the results of fastboot getvar all (minus you IMEI/MEID and serial# of course) so we have a better understanding of your firmware version and such.
Good luck!
yeah, im running the exe while in fastboot, and the rebootRUU loops me. I havent flashed stock recovery. will that allow me to flash anything to get this working? and i did try to wipe cache from fastboot.

What is the current status of the bootloader? Locked or Relocked?
Can you please provide a link to the RUU your trying to flash.
If your using an RUU.exe then you don't need to use the Reboot RUU command. Just connect the device in fastboot usb mode and run the RUU. The RUU will boot to RUU mode for you :good:

I have tried just letting the .exe boot me to RUU, but it was stuck at "waiting for bootloader..". I waited for a little bit, but my phone kept vibrating and rebooting, and then eventually it lost connection and closed. I have tried multiple times.

I have tried just letting the .exe boot me to RUU, but it was stuck at "waiting for bootloader..". I waited for a little bit, but my phone kept vibrating and rebooting, and then eventually it lost connection and closed. I have tried multiple times.

I asked @coal686 about this, and he thinks it is probablya hardware problem. If so, you'll have to take it to a shop for repairs.
But there is a possibility that the previous owner wiped /system in fastboot. Highly unlikely, but fastboot erase system would cause something similar, I would imagine. Without knowing what the previous owner did to get it into this state makes it hard to narrow down.
Is there any chance you could contact the previous owner and ask what it is exactly before the phone pooched out? Let him know that there is nothing to hide now that you are the new OWNER of the phone.

well I would ask them, but the seller is a cell phone repair shop, so im guessing that somebody couldn't get it fixed, so they sold it to this shop, and the people probably don't have a clue what's wrong with it. I wont be worth it to try and repair it cuz it only cost me 30 bucks. It seems that the only solution here would be a RUU, but that aint working so I guess im stuck here.

Unfortunately I think it is a lost cause . If the bootloader is not stable then it's almost certainly a hardware problem.
Even if it was some low level software issue without a stable bootloader there is no way to flash anything to the device.
Maybe sell it on eBay as Spares to try get something back from it.

Not really a good idea, OP is on 6.23.651.7...... And since the OP can't even boot in recovery how he is supposed to flash this?....

Use firewater or revan to s-off first
Then unlock by htc dev
Flash cwm or twrp recovery
If you successfully 1st step then u can do easy

Sorry but what you are saying is making me believe you didn't read what the OP said at all except maybe the first few lines...

Firewater is discontinued and doesn't work anymore, Revone S-OFF is for hboot 1.44 only, OP's phone is on 1.61. Achieving S-OFF requires a booting phone, exactly what the OP doesn't have. And BTW there a much newer RUU he could use than the one you have posted above that wouldn't requires S-OFF.
Then unlock by htc dev

I guess you missed that part:
3. unlocking the bootloader with htcdev, but after selecting yes on the popup menu on the phone to unlock, it just goes back into a bootloop, stays locked.

Not possible since like OP said:
6. using a RUU.zip and flashing through fastboot, but the "fastboot oem rebootRUU" command throws it back into a bootloop.

Its either a corrupt bootloader/firmware or an hardware problem and like Danny said its a lost cause.
