Restoring HTC ONE to Stock (Vodafone UK)

I've currently got Android Revolution HD 12.1 installed, however I need to return the phone to Vodafone UK Stock, due to returning the phone.
I found this link, which seems to give instructions on restoring the HTC ONE, however apart from downloading the OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_Vodafone_UK.......zip file from here, I'm really not sure which method to follow.
This is the information I have from the Software Information on my phone:
Android version: 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.4.10-g445d072
Baseband version: 4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L
Build number: 2.24.401.1.CL211355
I would really appreciate some assistance

Here is a link to all RUU`s, zips and CWM/TWRP recovery rom`s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874. You`ll need S-Off however to downgrade the Hboot. If you`re not S-Off you cannot Flasha RUU with a older Hboot. Guess you`re on HBoot 1.54.000 now. Till the revone devs find a way to modify the S-Off exploit you`re stuck, link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582.

Thanks for responding
I've already downloaded the OTA's: Vodafone UK file from that link, however I'm really not sure what I should be doing with it
Edit
Just curious, if my phone is S-ON, how have I been able to install a custom ROM and recovery?

If the bootloader is unlocked but you`re S-On you can flash a custom recovery and roms, you however cannot downgrade or flash a newer Hboot afaik. You can`t do anything with the OTA atm, not even flash a Vodafone CWM recovery i`am afraid.

With regards to the Vodafone zip file, is it possible to flash that somehow and give the impression that's in factory state?

No mate, you don`t have a Vodafone rom, you have a custom recovery and you would need to lock the bootloader. It is not possible atm, stick with the rom you`re on for now and do not lock bootloader. Wait for revone to modify the bootloader xploit to get S-Off.

I've just gone into Bootloader and it's showing Hboot as 1.44.0000 !!
Would you mind giving me a brief outline on what I should be doing to get my phone back to vodafone stock?y
Many Thanks

Would flashing the Vodafone OTA zip file in recovery be safe or do I need to S-Off the device?

Please can someone advise
Thanks

Wow, you have quite the adventure in front of you my friend if you want to return your phone to a pure stock state. I'll outline the steps and you can do some work and find the guides to complete them. Assuming you're on hboot 1.44 you'll need to go ahead and s-off, you can then remove the tampered flag. After you're s-off you're then going to need to double check you're using a stock unmodified hboot (you should be) and flash the pertinent RUU based on your phone - there are plenty of guides on how to select this. You'll then need to s-on again, google the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" to find some information on how to do that.
Basically you've got your work cut out mate, sorry I can't be more help but the process I've mentioned aren't as simple or as safe as unlocking the bootloader. You'll need to put some effort and most importantly care as any one of them can brick your phone. Once you're s-off you've opened up very sensitive partitions which if changed or written to wrongly can instantly brick your phone. As such I'd do a lot of research before you undertake any of these steps, this is just off the top of my head to give you some guidance so I'd also check them, you really can't be too careful when playing around with £500 worth of tech. Good luck!

I'm now S-Off, however what I can't get my head around is the RUU part. The Vodafone ROM that I require seems to be an OTA zip update, however I'm unsure on how to flash this as it doesn't seem to be RUU

You cannot do it with an OTA zip... you need a full RUU but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one available for Vodafone UK.
This one seems to be the closest one for you.... it's stock HTC Europe. I don't think at this time that returning to stock Vodafone is a possibility.
If you're sending it back for repair or replacement you could take a chance on sending it as it is.

Thank you for replying.
I've run that RUU from the link you provided and it stated that it's updating from 1.29.161.11 to 1.28.401.7, however an Error [131] message appeared stating 'Customer ID Error'.
Any ideas?

Ok... you need to change that ID in the phone.
Reboot the phone to bootloader then fastboot and connect to pc then from your ADB directory on PC issue the command "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001" this will then give you the right ID for the RUU.
Note it's HTC__001.... 2 underscores !

[Q] Unrooting?

Alright, I've been through thread after thread and plenty of pages found on google.
Some say to Lock the bootloader BEFORE using the RUU and some say to lock it AFTER or you'll brick the phone?
I've got a T-mobile Variant of the HTC one M7 It's rooted, SuperCID and obviously the bootloader is unlocked.... I think it's on 1.55, not exactly sure, I'm currently backing up all my data.
I've got the new 5.14.531.1 RUU straight from the HTC website.
Since it's a Tmobile rom, I'm guessing resetting the CID to T-MOB010 before installing would be a good idea?
And what of the bootloader? running the RUU should install the new Hboot correct? from there I would just need to relock it or am I not understanding this?
~Out of all my phones I've NEVER returned one to stock, so this is all kinda new to me.

SuperCID means you're S-Off, so no need to lock/relock bootloader, but where did you get that RUU from? link please, cause I don't think it's an RUU (how big is the file??)

Doesn't exactly answer the question... I'm going back to stock to upgrade my phone...
So, I do need to relock the bootloader & reset the CID at some point.
Also the link, right from HTC
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_M7UL_TMOUS_5.14.531.1_With Partial.exe
it's a whooping 1.49GB

ah ok, 1.49GB sounds good for an RUU
and to answer your question differently, if you are S-Off, then you do not need to lock/relock bootloader; the RUU should work fine with unlocked bootloader
refer to "Not so FAQ #2": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2
and remember to stay S-Off

Jolly good, I didn't even see that Not so FAQ.
So basically I just run the RUU according to the instructions on the HTC page ( http://www.htc.com/us/support/news.aspx?p_id=630&p_name=htc-one-t-mobile ) and I should be good?

hmm, i can't seem to be able open that web page, but if the file is a full RUU (I'm downloading it, but with my connection it's gonna take quite a while), then hook up the phone, and run the RUU and all should be good.
Remember an RUU will fully wipe your phone (including sdcard/internal storage), and if for whatever reason you want to change bootloader to the original LOCKED (not relocked),
you can use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194
(though I don't see any reason to do it )
as long as you stay S-Off, you can easily get it unlocked again anytime
out of curiosity, any particular reason you're doing this?

I know, that's why I'm currently backing up everything important on Google Drive.
I was just looking at Scotty1223's threads with the ADB commands to remove tampered flag and reset locked.
and like I said in my second post
I'm going back to stock to upgrade my phone...
So, I do need to relock the bootloader & reset the CID at some point.
So to go back stock with no need to ever unlock or root again,
I'll be fine LOCKING the bootloader and resetting the CID to T-MOB010 Before running the RUU?

I understood the part about upgrading your phone, but seeing your signature, you're running a custom ROM and kernel, so i'm not clear what you mean by upgrading
Anyway, if you are going back to stock, here's what I personally would do:
1- stay S-OFF
2- change CID back to original
3- remove TAMPERED and set LOCKED (using scotty1223's commands, or the Guru Bootloader Reset tool) not because it's necessary, just aesthetically more stock
4- run the RUU
5- stay S-OFF

gotcha :good:
that's a completely different kind of upgrade, i thought you meant software
Do they care about S-OFF?? because if you intend on going S-ON, then I would highly recommend a 1.xx ruu, nothing higher.
because going from S-Off to S-On on hboot 1.55+, has been known to trigger "tamper detected - rebooting" and TAMPERED is back in bootloader screen.

Yeah, it's gonna need to be S-on when I take it into the store...
Pretty sure they check the bootloader for S-ON, ***TAMPERED*** and ***LOCKED***
Is it just the 1.55+ Hboot that throws the tampered when locked?
If so Can I flash the 1.54.401.5 Hboot from Firewater and proceed like that?
Can't do the 1.44, My PC is running 8.1 and I've not played with Linux since 2009

Unknown when/what exactly triggers the "tamper detected" or some people have been able to S-On and not get that, others have not, so I can't say if it will happen or not. but if you wanna play it safe, go for 1.xx ruu.

brick alert: Definitely NOT, that is a custom HBOOT, if you actually manage to S-On it with an unsigned hboot, you'll have an paperweight on your hands!! stay away from that.

[Q] Returning full stock: some doubt about what to do

Hi everyone.
I need your help to figure it out about something
I've an HTC One with:
S-OFF
HBOOT: 1.56
CID: HTC__001
Firmware 4.06.1540.2
Bootloader: unlocked
I downloaded an old .exe RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed) because I thought with S-Off I could install any kind of RUUs. I decided to download it because I already used it the last year and because I thought I could get the 1.44 HBOOT after installing it to be able to use Revone to make bootloader locked, tampered out, and S-ON again. When I try to install the RUU.exe, it says that my device is not compatible with that image.
Maybe I can't use it because I've the bootloader unlocked? I hope someone can help me to understand what's going on and what should I do. Thanks everyone
Greetings, Mr.Kiko

[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?

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.
Thanks

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

And after installing this RUU I can just download Sense 6 via OTA.

is it possible to re-apply the branding?
i.e.
RUU
change cid
OTA with brand change

yup, change your cid to its original one, and find your service providers RUU and flash it.

S-OFF Situation with last Firmware & H-BOOT 1.57

Hey guys,
i'm sending my One to htc at the moment and i think i'll get it back in a couple of days with new camera module and a firmware update .
At the moment my HBOOT is 1.4x, the phone was S-OFF via revone and i reversed it back to stock yesterday.
Are there any safe possiblities to S-OFF a 1.57 HBOOT device WITHOUT using htcdev?
From what i've read recently
- Revone isn't supported with HBOOT 1.57
- Firewater can maybe S-OFF but needs HTCDEV unlock and maybe the Bootloader is TAMPERED after that
- Sunshine costs 25 USD !?
So is the conclusion correct that an unlock via htcdev is absolutely necessary to S-OFF atm?
Is it also correct that i can't get rid of the TAMPERED flag when Firewater fails?
Thanks

Once S-Off you can revert the BL back to locked and remove the tampered flag anyway.

That's right but from what i heard some devices can't be S-OFFed with Firewater. Then the device is TAMPERED and you can't get rid of that because S-OFF doesn't work!?

you cant get rid of the tampered flag full stop without s-off
sunshine does not require the bootloader to be unlocked, it does everything for you but like you said costs $25 however, it is a one off payment, after that you don't need to pay again to s-off the same device again.
all other s-off tools require the bootloader to be unlocked via HTC Dev.
if you are on HBOOT 1.56 or 1.57 and firewater fails then sunshine is the only way.

Okay, thank you very much for that!
Sorry for the question but can i install TWRP and flash ROMs via Recovery when just htcdev unlocked and S-ON? On the One X it was necessary to flash the boot.img from a pc. On the One this isn't necessary right?

yes you can flash custom rom's whilst s-on as long as the bootloader is unlocked and also correct, no need to flash the boot.img separately.

Does someone know what devices will fail with firewater? Is it a change in the hardware maybe? My One is from May 2013 so i hope it may work.
There has to be a change between the devices with 1.57 that fail and the devices that work!?

if you sent your phone back to HTC to get the camera repaired, they will probably replace the motherboard, if they do then firewater probably wont work, all you can do is try.

Okay, i'll wait and report

Dunno if it's different but when I s-offed and unlocked and rooted my HTC one max I used firewater and used temp root method which in turn s-offed and unlocked bootloader which can be done on our highest hboot. I don't no if it's different for you guys but it might not be such a major problem but when I sent my HTC one m7 back for repair when I had it I reverted back to stock and left s-off present they said nothing about it.

if you request them to don't update software they don't do that
If it's camera problem they don't tends to update they don't waste their time if your phone motherboard s off once it can be easily again
