[Q] I want to update stock rom 4.4.2

Today i got the ota rom from HTC but when i tried to install it it failed. I already know thats because i use a custom recovery and rooted th e phone. But i want to install the original kitkat how can i do that. I also read on xda that in order to go back i need to have s-off(i know have s-on) to install the new rom.zip but this is also impossible because in order to go back i need a ruu file.
Is there anyone who can tell me how to go back to stock and go original i dont need root privileges anymore.
Im from holland and i have unlocked m7 with vodafone sim.
Please help

Okay, custom recovery, rooted. Custom ROM? You didn't say. In any event, you will need to flash stock recovery and unroot. I think both can be done with AIO Tools. Then you can update. If on custom ROM, S-Off, flash stock recovery, downgrade HBoot, and RUU.

I dont have custom rom i only rooted the phone for the gamkiller app. On the other hand i always tought that s-off is not okay because Its possible to damage your phone.
A few years ago i had the htc hd2 and when i wanted to go back to stock i just installed the original ruu from pc and it flashed it to the phone isnt that possible anymore?
So now the specs of my phone..

I also looked for firewater s-off but when i download firewater its only a file not an .exe or .zip what should this extension be and how does it work because if i read the tutorial about this it doesnt say how to run the program for example in windows or in CMD mode or maybe CWM.

it's a signed HTC Rom update utility ...nothing will happen to your phone

Its simple
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691787

I unlocked boot loader, rooted, installed TWRP recovery and superSU. My phone is Vodafone UK with 4.4.2 running but the the new update ruined my phone with some very serious and annoying bugs. Can I flash this stock rom intended for PN0710000 without changing my MID of Vodafone? Please help !

It doesnt work it starts with the program to update but within the minute it stops....Proberply because i have CWM recovery in the boot and not the Original HTC recovery and finaly because i dont have s-Off
edit I now have s-off 02:16 AM

I have did it, the S-OFF is a must and now i completely stocked my htc one. Everything works perfect also the over the air (ota) update works. Thanks to you all who made restore possible.:good:

[Q] S-On, reboot loop, HBOOT 1.55, need to restore

I've been having some problems recently. I've been wanting to update to Kitkat but I have replaced the stock recovery software with CWM, and thus it doesn't work.
To solve this problem I've figured out that I need to get my claws on an RUU, which I have. Hopefully I've grabbed the right one. It doesn't seem like the RADIO serial-thingy matches though. Device has
Code:
4A.21
whilst the RUU has
Code:
4A.23
.
I've tried using the RUU in fastboot but later figured out that I need to have S-OFF for that. That is currently not the case. I've tried using both Firewater and Rumrunner. According to the instructions I'm required to have the phone on in the usual way. As in, not in the bootloader. The problem is that my phone is stuck in some restart loop. When reaching the PIN-screen it will automatically restart/crash after a few seconds. I can however use the phone as usual during this time. Sometimes, it alerts me with an error.
It also seems like the battery completely empties itself sometimes. This is when trying to restore it, getting in and out from the bootloader and the like.
Here's some software info:

If the RUU is an .exe file, then try placing it in the same folder as your ADB/FASTBOOT files. Plug-in your phone to your PC so that it is recognized on the PC then double click the RUU.exe file. Follow the on-screen instructions. You don't need S-OFF to run an RUU for your phone with the correct CID & MID providing the RUU is the same version or higher.

The RUU crashes when launching it, "InstallScript Setup Launcher has stopped working". I'm quite sure I have the required stuff to run it. Running it as admin didn't help.

It looks like a PC issue. Check out this post Installscript setup launcher has stopped working! In the reply they list two methods it looks like you did the first one. Sometimes, I just have to reboot the computer to get everything set correctly.

Unfortunately, none of these methods helps. The device is supposed to be in Fastboot USB mode when the RUU is launched, yes?

what is the ruu version you are trying to use (complete file name)?

easiest way: download this guru reset file, its exactly the same version you have on your phone now.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
put TWRP 2.6.3.3 (recommended) recovery on your phone
copy the zip to your SDcard
Enter recovery and flash like you would do with a custom rom
in the Aroma installer, select wipe data, install stock recovery, install stock radio when prompted.
This file will put you back to fully stock.

Hi, I'm a newbie and I was supposed to post a thread regarding a problem I'm facing similar to this. So if it's alright, I'll post it here also and ask for your advice. I recently unlocked my HTC One w/ 4.4.2 amd Sense 6.0 a few days ago and was also able to flash CWM custom recovery and root it. I then tried flashing the latest Android Revolution HD, when I rebooted the phone after intallation, it just stays on the first spash screen. I forgot that I needed to S-off my device. So now, I can only access the bootloader and recovery. The status of my device currently is *Tampered*, Unlocked and S-On with 1.57 Hboot. Also, I can't copy files from my PC to the device. I don't know what to do. I've been reading around but I think I need some concrete advice. Thank you in advance.

Best to start your own thread, but on a quick fix, your problem is CWM, you need to use TWRP recovery to flash that rom, also recommend 2.6.3.3
Tampered and unlocked is normal, nothing to worry about, and you don't need s-off to flash custom rom's, just an unlocked bootloader

Bugger, I have it renamed to RUU.exe and it's md5 doesn't match any file from the site I remember I downloaded it from. I am, however, currently downloading

Did you name that file yourself, that's the wrong file, that one is O2 "206", hence 4.20.206.16 you need 401, 3.62.401.1 which is WWE, the same number under your os information in your first post and the same as the guru reset I linked.

i use TWRP v2.5.0.0
is there any way to update twrp? (latest roms require 2.6 twrp or higher???)
Download the 2.6.3.3 version of TWRP, rename the file to recovery, place the .img file in the folder on your PC where ADB is located and then flash in fastboot with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. After that command completes, run fastboot erase cache. Then you can copy the ARHD 81 .zip to your phone and flash away.
after that i have tried:
So now you probably have screwed your partitions flashing an incompatible rom and recovery to your phone. Flash a twrp version for Sprint variant and then format data and flash a Custom rom compatible with Sprint phones (M7WLS)
Sprint TWRP here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
Sprint roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spri...ne/development
i have flashed sprint twrp and sprint roms:
Bad Boyz Sprint ONE ROM 4.4.2 Sense 6 v1.0
ROM] Eragon v53Stable&clean|Sense/Aosp/GPE mix, ROM for the HTC One
Sprint_Eragon_V_54.0.0.zip
ViperOne 7.0.1
and they all have same issue.
installation went well. on first boot rom went to lock screen. after unlocking only white screen occurs with green htc logo.
after that dialer app reports crushing
what to do next?
do i need to unlock sprint sim since i live in croatia (europe)?
thanks for help

You should RUU and get everything working the way it should again.
Then flash a rom from the Sprint section.

bruhhh
NOTE: Read the threads, the instructions I'm giving you are just for you to gauge the difficulty of this task, to see if you can do it. Don't follow my instructions! Read the threads!
Read this first.
Then get this firmware.zip and put it in your adb/fastboot folder
source
reboot into fastboot mode with:
adb reboot bootloader
unless you don't have ADB, which you probably don't because you dun goofed when you flashed an Int'l ROM. In which case just press and hold power + vol down and pray.
once you're in fastboot mode, check to see if your device is recognized (may have to do this as root user in linux):
fastboot devices
This should list your device. If nothing comes up, check back here.
Now we're gonna lock your bootloader because RUU fails on unlocked bootloaders (security reasons). Skip this if you're S-Off (you shouldn't be, that's for advanced users).
fastboot oem lock
Now you're gonna go into RUU mode, which lets you modify all partitions of the phone (because you won't be in one):
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Now, we're going to flash the stock image to all the partitions of your device. This is the step that will undo your mistake!
fastboot flash zip firmware_version.zip
NOTE: Change the name of firmware_version.zip to whatever you download from above. If you get an error saying "flush again immdeiately," flash again immediately; just put in the exact same command.
Done. Just finalize with this:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then unplug and redo your entire root/ROM process from there.
Hopefully this mini guide will give you an idea of whether you'll need further help. @BD619 is a great fellow to ask.

thank you. you are a life saver. my phone is alive
iv unlocked the bootloader. what do i have to do now install custom rom?

[SOLVED] Help - Soft Brick :)

Hello Devs,
I am assuming that I soft bricked my ATT HTC M7 today. I actually did the following
1. Unlocked Bootloader though HTCDev - Successful
2. Installed SuperUser - Successful (Failed as the partition has been completely wiped off)
3. S -off - Biggest mistake - Didn't do.
4. Recovery - Successful (twrp, Philz and CWM) worked fine, currently have Philz.
5. Tried RUU, but the version doesn't match with the version of existing image in the device. Gives an error)
6. Assuming, the data in the device is only the recovery and the boot loader. Also, all the recoveries have been accidentally wiped off.
7. Tried Side-Load, (confused - if I used wrong kernel, so the ROM installs, but never past the HTC logo screen).
Please suggest any of your valuable advices or atleast a link or thread to exact RUU of 5.12.502.2 (ATT, Stock)... I don't know what I'm doing...Please help ad your help will be greatly appreciated.:

Please suggest any of your valuable advices or atleast a link or thread to exact RUU of 5.12.502.2 (ATT, Stock)... I don't know what I'm doing...Please help ad your help will be greatly appreciated.:

you are likely using a wrong recovery version for the ROM you are flashing, most ROMs prefer TWRP 2.6.3.3, 2.8.0.0 or 2.8.0.1 (eg ARHD82 will not flash with twrp 2.8.0.2)
flash correct recovery (depending on the ROM), and install it
check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
for more information
post back here, if you have further questions

There is no ruu for 5.12.502.2 but if you want to go back to stock, there is reset rom made by clsA that match your version here: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_5-12-502-2_clsa-zip/
flash like a rom, following instructions from nkk71 above.

i realize you may be having a hard time, so my sincerest apologies for giving you an even more hard time
provided the hardware is not messed up, everything will be fine, you just need:
proper ROM (ie md5 checks out)
correct recovery for whatever rom you want to install
a little patience (first clean flah for a HTC Sense based ROM can take "almost" 20 mins)

[Q] Need some help rooting my HTC One M7

Hello,
in the near future I will try to unlock and root my international HTC One M7. Because I don't have many experiance with rooting (so far I have rooted only one phone (HTC Desire Z) a few years ago) I would apriciate some help and tips.
I have seen some nice video tutorials how to unlock and root HTC M7 on xda website:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/#root
The only problem is that these videos seems quite old and I don't know if procedure is still the same on newer versions of HTC One software? Currently I am running stock Sense software (Android 4.4.3, Sense version 6.0, Software number: 6.09.401.11)
Please tell me if I can follow these video tutorials to root my One even thou I am running newer software and if not which rooting procedure do you recomend for me?
Thanks in advance!

If you are 100% stock at the moment then wait for the Lollipop update which should come to your phone very very soon, because once you root, the update will fail, due to unlocking the bootloader which resets the phone and also deletes the data / preload folder required to update.
However to root, just unlock your bootloader at HTCDev, during the process it will give you sone ADB and fastboot files, keep these, you will need them, then flash TWRP recovery, enter recovery, exit recovery, it will ask you if you want to root before exiting, say yes, when the phone reboots, open SuperSU to update your binary, done.

Thanks!
One more question. Do I have to toggle S-ON to S-Off if i Want to install costum ROMs and kernel?

no, and never toggle, s-off costs $25 using sunshine s-off tool, and if you decide to go that way, never ever s-on again unless for waranty purposes.

Unlock your bootloader: follow instructions from htcdev.com/bootloader
Flash TWRP recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.zip
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then boot in TWRP and flash the latest supersu zip from TWRP recovery

the twrp recovery downloads as a .img file
:crying:
am I using the correct download, the
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0.2-m7.img
error: cannot load 'twrp-3.0.0.2-m7.img'

the twrp file (yes its a .img file) must be in the same folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe installed on your computer.
"Error: cannot load" = I can't (fastboot) find the file you're talking about
most probable causes:
File not in the right folder
Typo in the file name

I have been distracted..... it has flashed the twrp img file.
how do I
"3. Then boot in TWRP and flash the latest supersu zip from TWRP recovery"
I have the supersu.zip file saved in the same folder on PC.
thankyou for your time and patience alray

You need to transfer SuperSu.zip to your phone. Then reboot to TWRP recovery and flash the file. Reboot, and you're rooted
