[Q] Relocking and Flashing to Stock HTC M7 on Bell

Hey community,
I'd really love some help from the experts here. I bought an HTC one that was originally on Bell, and the previous owner had rooted it and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it. To enter the sim unlock code, I have to flash it back to stock.
Now, I've been spoiled previously by using Nexus devices so I haven't run into this problem before.
What I've done so far:
Followed this guide about half way, to the point where I re-locked the bootloader. (fastboot oem lock)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZR5yhP75Jg
I got stuck after that, because Bell apparently does note have an excutable RUU file. I've only been able to find nandroid backups.
Right now, I cant get past the bootloader mode.
This is what shows on my screen:

re-locking the bootloader is only required to flash ruu which is not an option for your phone (no ruu available for bell). Now you'll need to unlock the bootloader again to flash either TWRP recovery to resotre from a twrp backup or CWM to restore from a CWM backup.
I'll suggest you to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and ARHD 53 rom. Many users reported successfully sim-unlocked their phones using ARHD rom. If that don't work then you could try with the nandroid backups.

unlock bootloader
flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This is from @crushalot instructions on restoring a nandroid backup
Then enter recovery either by holding power and vol down button until bootloader displays and then select recovery or if device is booted into the OS use this adb command:
adb reboot recovery
Now perform a test backup and allow it to complete. Then make a note of the folder in which the backup was created. Now copy the downloaded stock Nandroid into that same folder so that recovery will see the backup and allow you to restore it.
Click to expand...

For a phone that's not booting up this means pushing the files with adb push
so the command would look like this
adb push 2013-08-08--19-24-38.ATT.502.15 /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/
these files are over 1.2 gigs sometimes so it takes a long time, be patient
Also be sure the files your pushing are in the same folder as adb

Thanks for the replies ^
Okay, so I have now unlocked my bootloader successfully - however am now stuck in a cyanogenmod bootloop.
What's the best way out of this?I have CWM Recovery V6.0.3.1 I can boot into - is this where I try and install ARHD 53 rom? When I plug the phone into my computer, I can't see it as a drive to copy a rom into.
TIA

if you want to flash arhd 53 you will need at least twrp recovery version 2.6.3.3 as specified in the ARHD rom thread. Then use either adb push or adb sideload method to transfer the rom on your phone which are explained here

The error I'm getting in CWM Recovery is:
E: can't mount /sdcard
E: can't mount /external _sd
How can I install TWRP Recovery? Sorry, I'm at a loss right now and feel so confused.

So I've installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 0 but I still can't manage to see the sd card on my computer, how can I push the nandroid backup to this phone? Is it still via fastboot commands?

like I said in post #6 you need to either adb push or adb sideload if you want to install a rom. If you want to restore a backup then use adb push to transfer the backup to the phone.

Thanks for your help.
I was able to push the rom to the /sdcard folder via ADB Push
then from recovery, had to wipe/format all data. I think this created the directories for me
and then i was able to install CM11 again.
now im just trying to figure out how to install the nandroid backup since bell does not have a RUU, It says failed everytime i try in recovery and i have it in the same parent folder as my CM recovery i created.

like cIsA said you have to push the twrp nandroid in this folder: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/
You have to make a backup first for this folder to be created. So make a twrp nandroid backup of the boot partition only (because its light). This will generate the backup path with your s/n + date. Then delete the file inside that folder and replaced it by the nandroid backup you want to restore.

Restore ROM, NO OS help

Situation: No OS, S-ON, No Recovery - TWRP. HTC One Rogers Firmware. Trying to get any os on it at this point
Tried to fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Says successful on prompt but freezes with 4/5 bar on the HTC one silver screen
Any ideas?

Not sure what the problem is. If you have no recovery then fastboot flash a recovery and then adb push or sideload a Rom to your phone

If you are truly a Rogers branded device, here is the kitkat ruu to flash. Will be totally stock with newest bootloader (will not be able to s-off), can still unlock bootloader and flash twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-38r-1157-04l_release_351317_signed_2-exe/

Tried them both gives me a image error or signature failure so i don't believe these are the correct RUU's my current image verison is 1.29.631.17
I tried Flash_recovery_4.19.401.11. and Previously when i had recovery and tried to sideload it gave me a system error and just kept loading.

SOLVED
Hey thanks a lot for helping me. I have been able to solved it myself.
If someone would like to know what i did:
(for any noobs like me - UNLOCK the phone first to install a recovery)
It didn't properly wipe/format in twrp 2.6.3.3 because of decrypt pw, had to upgrade to 2.7 wipe it then go back to 2.6.3.3 then type adb usb
while mounted with data selected only. adb sideload button did not work.
Installed Android Revolution 62 directly and works fine now!
Thanks a lot for your help though!

ADB in bootloader

Please help me.
I've done something really stupid. I flashed from ClockWorkMod to Android Revolution HD on my HTC One m7.
I've got ClockWorkMod Recovery installed and when flashing was done i got stuck in HTC startup screen.
Trying to get in to recovery mode again and install my backup did not work, it just shows ClockWorkMod Recovery logo and reboots. When in bootloader mode, i can't access the phone through adb or fastboot, no devices in list.
Is there any way to use ADB/fastboot when in the bootloader screen?

Thanks bored_stupid! This solved the installation problem.
The other problems were solved like this:
The first problem was that fastboot didn't connect to my PC.
This was solved by changing computer to one with a USB 2.0.
Now the problem I had with my recovery was solved by flashing the recovery partition again and clean the cache (forget that the first time).
fastboot flash recovery clockworkrec.img
fastboot erase cache
After this I was able to get in recovery mode.

Can't wipe cache

=== SOLVED by majmoz ===
Hi Guys,
I cannot seem to wipe the cache of my HTC One (m7).
Here are the specs of my firmware and OS:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-1.54.0000

OS-6.09.401.5
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Nov 21 2013,20:19:24.0
ROM: CM11 M10
Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8
Phone has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted, SU, terminal emulator and Busybox installed, developers mode of the rom is unlocked.
In CWM recovery I am able to mount and unmount the cache, but every time i try to wipe the cache, the phone gets stuck at "formatting cache..." I can wait for hours with nothing happening.
The recovery also gets stuck when doíng a 'wipe data/factory reset' since this also involves wiping cache.
I've had TWRP recovery before.
On TWRP the phone couldn't even mount the cache partition.
I would really like to wipe my cache partition because I got some huge drain in the phones batterylife. Many people on the web say this drain will be solved bij wiping the cache.
Any help would be nice. Thanks

Are you using the correct version of CWM? It should be 6.04.3 for your phone.
Code:

Thanks majmoz,
Flashing recovery to CWM 6.0.4.3 worked. You are my hero of the day!

This type of question/problem is best addressed in your device forum as it is no longer a SuperSU issue. Good luck.
