Hi,
I have Vodafone UK's HTC ONE, and it's on 1.28.161.7 version.
I want to have the global stock version, 1.28.401.7, and get OTA updates.
My One is rooted with CWM Touch Recovery, Bootloader Unlocked.
I have read a lot on the Dev forums but only thing I found is how to go back to stock, and I need a DIFFERENT STOCK ROM.
Can you please help me ?
I have the stock odexed ROM + Stock recovery zip files, and the complete all-in-one Toolkit, so just guide me the steps
Thanks in advance !
Tzach Alon.
Flash ARHD would be my answer.

Thanks The-Last-Hylian!
But does ARHD have differences from the stock ROM?
Will I get the official OTA Updates from HTC?

No you won't as it's a rooted phone. You'll need S-OFF and the stock RUU to debrand the phone (neither of which are available yet AFAIK)

Hi EddyOS, long time no speak, not since I moved here from the HOX forums!
Wouldn't flashing ARHD debrand the handset, it'd just mean he can't get OTAs?
You on a Nexus 4 now then?

It would debrand it but not in the way the guy wants. He wouldnt officially get OTAs.

First, Thanks again !
So if I understand it right, I will need to go through this process:
1) Unroot
2) Re-lock bootloader
3) Flash stock recovery
4) Flash stock RUU (from the toolkit ??)
and that's it ? will I need to flash the ODEXED stock ROM from this thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
And last one for now: If I'll take a Nandroid backup of CWM and unbranded HTC, will it work ?
I mean this one: "M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__001 / 1.28.401.7"
Sorry for all those questions - I have never tried to go back to stock or unbrand my device.. :angel:
Thanks !

Unfortunately that wouldnt work. Your phone will have a branded CID. The OTA update checks the phone for this. So it would see yours isnt HTC_001 and it would fail. You need to wait until S-Off has been found for this phone.

As soon as an OTA is out Mike updates ARHD anyway so he could just flash the new ROM, until S-Off it's the only way of doing it really.
Hopefully S-Off isn't too far away...
Hi, I want to install "Elegancia" rom on my htc one m7 but i'm lost the devloper says that:
1.HTC_Dev Unlocked Bootloader (Ok I did it now i'm bootloader is unlocked I found a tutorial on Google)
2.Latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 Recovery for KitKat supportbut also to enjoy OTA Updates & better Aroma Support) (I did it also I'm done with that I installed it via Fastboot I also found a tutorial on Google. And I Rooted my htc one from TWRP
3.S-off recommended (Now that I don't know how to do it I'm block here my HBOOT: HBOOT-1.55.0000)
Edit: I'm just past in S-OFF but I have Tampered how to do to remove TAMPERED please?
4.I advice you to flash the latest Android 4.4 firmware (I have to install a stock rom kitkat first? or I can flash directly with his rom? I'm on 4.3 Android version. anyway I don't know how to update or flash with his rom because he doesn't explain or I don't understand right?)
This is the link of the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351020
Thanks for your time. Sorry i'm new on Android during 5 years I was Apple product.
I would suggest that you make a backup recovery from TWRP before doing anything further...
For s-off on hboot 1.55, search for rumrunner (tool) guide. GL.

HTC One update with unlocked SIM
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum and I apologize if the post is in the wrong category. And sorry for the android rookie questions, but I really need your help.
I own HTC One
I bought it with SIM lock
Phone has custom recovery (TeamWin) and it is s-OFF. I am not sure that I understand completely what this means but I found out this facts while reading this forum.
At the end, phone is unlocked (SIM unlock) by local service store (40 EUR).
I would like to update the software and OTA update does not work.
I would be grateful for step by step instructions how to update the phone software and not to SIM-lock the phone again.
My biggest concern is not to pay again for SIM unlock.
You have attached screenshots…
Thank you!

To receive and install OTA updates you need to have the stock recovery on your device. If you re-flash the stock recovery, you can install the OTA update. Once it has properly installed you can go replace stock recovery with TWRP.
I'm pretty sure it won't re-apply the SIM-lock to your phone, but I wouldn't like to say for certain. (Mine came already unlocked)

U will have to go back to the stock unrooted firmware by using the RUU. This will wipe off your internal storage completely and restore the phone to factory settings. This guide will tell you what to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
The RUU which you have to download and flash is:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-27-1127-01_release_308001_signed_2_4-exe/
please gather information and the read the guide a few times before you actually do anything

That's not true. Just have to install the stock recovery, then you can do the OTA update. After the update, reinstall either CWM or TWRP and flash SuperSU or Superuser to regain root. The OTA should not affect SIM unlock at all, at least it never has in my experience.
honestly it would be easier to just go with a custom rom since hes already s-off and custom recovery
OP. 2. options.
1. Flash this recovery, and hit the OTA check button. http://d-h.st/M4R
2. Download this RUU package: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...31.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
and install!

Is there any other way to update other than returning back to stock?
It does not have to be OTA.

yes you can update your firmware and flash a custom rom, if your looking for a close to stock experience i would advise ARHD 51
I just wanted to chime in and assure you that your sim unlock will not be affected by flashing custom ROMs, RUUs, firmwares, radios, recoveries, etc. I have flashed everything under the sun on my One and have retained my sim unlock.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you very much!
I will try to do stock recovery right away, I just need correct RUU. I assume that one of these 2 are OK
1) http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_htc_europe_1-20-401-1_radio_4a-13-3227-06_10-27-1127-01_release_308001_signed_2_4-exe/

Are these OK and which to use?
If these are not OK which should I use?
Please, please, I just need this one info.
Let me ask different question:
Is it must for RUU to match version-main?
My version is on the picture (1.29.401.12) and I found only one RUU for this version but not for my CID (HTC__032).
What to do?

The important thing to verify is that your CID matches what the RUU is designed for. On either of those RUU's you mention, look in the comments section of the post and see the CIDs. As long as you have one of those CIDs, you can install it.
Also, if you look at the RUU version number (1.20.401.1), you notice the third number in the sequence is "401". This signifies the WWE (World Wide Edition) version, so it will work with the majority of devices. The .401 firmwares are what most custom ROMs are based on, and are generally considered to be the most compatible. I am running a .401 firmware on my AT&T device without any issues. So any RUU with a .401 version would work for you.

No, the version-main doesn't need to match. That is just the current firmware version you have installed. If you install an RUU, it will update you to whatever version the RUU is based on. The only thing, if your device is still s-on, you can't install an RUU with a LOWER version than what is shown in version-main. You can upgrade with an RUU if you are s-on, just not downgrade.
The important thing is to find an RUU that works with CID "HTC__032".
Hmm... both those RUUs are lower than what you currently have, so they won't run with s-on. If you really want to be able to run the RUU, you're going to have to s-off so you can run the lower RUU, then update with the OTA.
If you're not ready for doing s-off, you might want to think about just leaving it as is, installing a custom recovery like TWRP, and flashing a custom stock ROM like the ARHD Stock Rom. You can't get OTA, but that's alright because it already is updated. Any of the custom ROMs will work fine with .401 firmwares like you have. I would recommend this route over the s-off and RUU method, honestly, that's a lot of work for little gain, unless you just absolutely must get back to stock.
Anyway, hope this helps!

Just a quick note for you my friend, the ruu you linked is a pre-release version with hboot 1.43 and no ota update. The correct ruu is 1.28.401.7 not the 1.20.401.1.
from nkk71' guide:
2) RUU.ZIP (Windows7, Mac, Linux): http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-zip-downloads/ <- this is now the preferred method instead of RUU.EXE
------> if you’ve found a RUU.ZIP proceed to post 3
---------> Note: M7_UL .401. users don't use 1.20.401.1, use 1.28.401.7 instead

Hi guys,
need your help.
2 days ago my phone (HTC One M7_UL) said there is a great update for me - new Sence 6.0 and etc. (about 700 - 800 MB total). I agreed to update it, but, probably battery wasn't charge so I get a phone with just a black screen.
After two days of tryings to recover it I did it - I download from this forum a ROM and successfully wrote it on device.
Sence 6.0 is looking great, but my question is:
previously there was an option 'Check for software updates', but now I can't see it in 'Settings-About'. Did I do smth wrong? Cause now I have my phone as 'Unlocked, Tampered' with S-on. Will I be able to get OTA updates?
Please, help me, it's my first android smartphone, I will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Did you install the odex version? On mine, in the Settings -> About at the top it states Software updates! The odex version is pure stock and will be able to receive the OTA providing you have the stock recovery and boot.img installed. The de-odex version is not able to receive OTA updates and I am guessing it doesn't have Software updates on it's menu. If you installed the wrong one just download and install the odex version.

Hi, thank for reply
Yes, I installed odex version. I am not interested in custom ROMs, just want to restore my phone to it's stock version, so that I could load OTAs.
My phone is unlocked, s-on, tampered (after I was trying to return it to life)
When I go About -> Software Information - only I can see :
1) Android version (4.4.2)
2) HTC Sence version (6.0)
3) Software number (Android Revolution HD71.1 by mike 1986)
4) HTC SDK API level (6.20)
And button 'More'
But now button 'Check for updates'
Also, I tried to install from htc1guru Reset ROM. Installed it. I had Sence 5.5 and Android 4.3. There I had 'Check for updates' button - but after pressing it - it said there are no updates.
What should I do to be able to get OTAs?
Thanks a lot

It looks like you still have ARHD71.1 on your phone. Go to this site and follow Method #1. Flash 4.19.401.11 version and select stock radio and recovery in aroma. After you have the stock recovery and rom back on your phone your last step will be to relock your bootloader with the command: fastboot oem lock Then you should be able to receive the Sense 6 OTA.

Try this method.
I'd rather try THIS method, think it is easier because you do not have to re-root phone after flash ruu.zip. Yesterday I successfully revert back to 100% stock with that method.

In THIS thread by Crushalot sad that first you have to flash ruu.zip THEN get rid of tampered and lock bootloader. What is the right order, or that is irrelevant?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you are following my RUU.EXE or RUU.ZIP method, then you need to 1st remove tampered and set locked.
why? because once you flash the ruu.zip, it will overwrite custom recovery (needed for the adb commands / bootloader reset tool) with the stock recovery, which doesn't allow adb commands or bootloader reset tool.
after a successful ruu flash, everything will be 100% stock.
to double check, bootup once to make sure the phone is booting OK, and everything was wiped,
but, if you intend on going S-ON do not take OTAs, go back to bootloader and S-ON (as always, I do not recommend it)

all there is, is this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-73-1-zip/
but you will have to be s-off and downgrade your HBOOT to use it, just flash it in a custom recovery like you would with a custom rom.
In its current state it would work, but because of your higher HBOOT version, OTA's would cause a bootloop which is why you have to downgrade it first.
Okay thanks I will try this and let you know how it goes, thanks again.
