can you post a "fastboot getvar all" (and remove IMEI and s/n before posting)
Also what ROM are you on now?
EDIT: payment will not be necessary, all I ask is if I helped you hit the thanks button

No worries, do it later, as I'm not on s computer either for the time being. I'll be on again later, but only for an hour or two, so it might have to wait till tomorrow anyway.

This your firmware ? 2.24.707.3
Do you have a nandroid backup of it ?
What does it say on your bootloader ?
also, on a mac you will need to type the following before any command:
./
so ./adb devices
./fastboot devices

Well this is going to be a bit of good news / bad news.
Good news, there's a full RUU exe for you:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-30-1131-05_release_309365_signed_2_4-exe/
Bad news it's a Windows executable, so you'll need to run that from a Windows PC. This will however allow you to go 100% stock!!!!
BUT, BEFORE THAT, there are some prerequisites. I'll outline the steps:
1- You need to get S-Off. since you're on 1.54 you need to use rumrunner.us method (which is either Windows or Linux, I think). This would involve a stock ROM as well, I don't know if ARHD 13.1 will do or not. It's something you have to check on the rumrunner thread. I havent looked into it much, so you're going to need help from someone else and/or do some reading into this.
2- Once S-Off, you need to remove the TAMPERED sign: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
3- While still on S-Off, you need to "LOCKED" your bootloader (not "RELOCKED"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
4- Finally run the above RUU, because you are S-Off it WILL allow you to downgrade. Since it's a full RUU it should put your phone completely back to stock (and not even break the touchscreen drivers, the way nandroid backups do).
EDIT: and it will update everything to stock: hboot, recovery, ROM, etc. so no need to mess with all that, unlike most users
IMHO, keep S-Off, as some phones do ship S-Off. The only dead giveaways that you "messed" with your phone, are the TAMPERED, RELOCKED, and red text at boot-up.
However if you are more comfortable with S-On ("fastboot oem writesecureflag 3") ONLY do so after you are completely satisfied that everything is back to stock.
So it looks like you're going to need a Windows PC, but other than that, you can go back to fully 100% stock "relatively" easily compared to what many have and are going through.

Bootloader shows the "more" correct version x.xx.707.x
In settings it only shows the ROM you are based on.
Go for the RUU with .707. in it.
Keep s-off for the time being, that will allow u to change in case u need to. I have to sign off for today...

my bad, didnt check your MID, anyway instead of changing it download this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...0-01_release_312087_signed_2_4_decrypted-zip/
for simplicity, rename the file to "ruu.zip" and place it in your adb folder.
it's a RUU zip file not exe, so you need to flash it:
so get to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB (either using "adb reboot bootloader" or POWER + VOLDOWN buttons)
then:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip <- yes twice, the first time it will come back with "failed flush again", the second time it should report success
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar all <- to confirm it downgraded

There is no ruu for my phone (02___001) so now I have s off I was going to run a stock ruu and update to the latest firmware. If I send the phone back for repair and change my cid to HTC_001 would HTC know I have changed my cid even if I s on?
Anyone help me at all?

Two things:
1- I dont know if they keep a record of IMEI (or s/n) <--> carrier, but I think they have to and do.
2- the CID is stored in several partitions, not only the one you change with fastboot writecid.
HOWEVER, it really depends on how far they're going to dig into this, if they are going to check their IMEI database or check the different partitions on the phone, just to "prove you wrong", I guess they could.
But then again, would it be worth all that hassle for them?
I dont have any experience with repair centers or how far they would go to prove that you changed something on your phone, and it's really quite country (and HTC people) dependent; for some they have no problem with an unlocked or relocked phone, and other even have a problem with S-Off (though they can't prove the phone didn't ship that way in the first place)
Better have someone from your region (O2 so UK?) post their experience(s)
Ah that's ok
So you reckon it would be better to be completely stock with stock CID and leave it s-off as it could ha e shipped that way anyway even for a carrier branded phone?

I honestly cannot say mate, have ZERO experience with this, just what I've read from other people; can't remember which countries, but some have sent their phone in for repair (eg for the purple camera issue) with tampered, unlocked etc and got either a repair or a brand new phone, others sent it completely stock, only with S-Off and were refused service (and the service center can't even prove it didn't ship that way, nor did they try).
Sorry can't help you out, or give any good advice about that.
I can help get you back to stock, or at least as close to stock as possible (you can check some of the other guys I've helped out in the Q&A section), but that's about as far as I can go.
Cheers & good luck
EDIT: one guy I helped (I think from Canada) got it 100% stock and S-On, and the a**holes still gave him a hard time, don't know what happened in the end, hope they fixed it for him.

If you could help me yes that would be great mate
The steps I took to get where I am are as follows:
1. I was running a stock 02 UK Rom (2.24.206.7) and achieved s off using rumrunner
2. I downgraded hboot to 1.44 and installed a stock ruu for cid HTC__001
3. I flashed cwm recovery and nandroid restored my phone to o2 backup 1.29.206.1 and flashed a stock recovery before locking the bootloader using adb shell command and then installing the updates (my cid was also changed back to 02___001 to do this). I note also that I'm not sure that the recovery was completely stock, as I had to manually reboot the phone a few times to allow the ota to install.
4. I upgraded my phone via various OTA's until the latest 3.62.206.1 firmware
5. Satisfied that the OTA had flashed the latest stock hboot, stock recovery and stock Rom I did fastboot oem writesecureflag 3. I got success and when I reboot it said tamper detected - rebooting. The bootloader is now locked, s on and tampered
What steps would you add/take away or change?
I can unlock again using htcdev and start again I guess
Would you advise maybe re running rumrunner once I'm back to version 2.24.206.7 and run all the commands again (lock, remove tampered) and then s on?
The reason I ran the ota from an earlier nandroid was because I thought I would restore everything to stock by ota
If you help me achieve this I will gladly buy you a beer lol!

What steps would you add/take away or change?
I can unlock again using htcdev and start again I guess
Would you advise maybe re running rumrunner once I'm back to version 2.24.206.7 and run all the commands again (lock, remove tampered) and then s on?
The reason I ran the ota from an earlier nandroid was because I thought I would restore everything to stock by ota
If you help me achieve this I will gladly buy you a beer lol!

1- Well the steps you took sound very good (I personally, would have skipped all the OTAs), but can you elaborate on "when I reboot it said tamper detected - rebooting", do you mean that you had removed TAMPERED and it suddenly came back by itself???
2- For you to be able to fix this, you will need S-Off, I just checked rumrunner, and there's only a 3.62.401.1 package around, hopefully it will work, otherwise you will need: "If you mainver is not listed, please contact [email protected] with firmware version AND a link to the corresponding RUU and/or firmware ota package." (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487888)
3- I guess you're going to have to unlock again, and try rumrunner 3.62.401.1 package and hope it works without the hassle of having to send in you firmware.
4- Beer won't be necessary, I'm actually enjoying a scotch at the moment ; maybe when I'm in London next time Otherwise hitting the thanks button, is more than enough!
So I guess, go ahead an unlock and try to get S-Off, post back with results. I'll keep an :cyclops: on the thread and help as much I can.

Yes the phone said on booting up the Rom - "tamper detected - rebooting" and then my bootloader said tampered
I had to do the ota as I didn't have the stock recovery for version 1.29.206.7 as I knew the ota would flash an official recovery
I guess I could 're-run s off rumrunner when I'm on 2.24.206.7 (the 2.24.401.7 version works for this) and reset all the flags and then s on again?
You think that could work?

Hmmm, interesting (only saw 1 other post like that, I think), did that happen after the last OTA which updated hboot to 1.55; wondering if they "patched" something in 1.55.

The first OTA would have been enough, you didn't need to go all the way to 3.62; you had to manually reboot the first OTA yourself because stock recovery wasn't 100% correct, but after the OTA was successfully installed, you could have stopped at that.

Problem is you are already on 3.62 and downgrading isn't possible with S-On, so you're going to have to unlock and try a rumrunner package that get's you s-off. If the 3.62.401 rumrunner works or the 2.24.206.7 or whichever one works to get you S-Off it doesn't matter, but you do need to get S-Off (IMHO).

No problem!
Right these are the steps I'm going to do
1. Unlock bootloader via HTC dev
2. Install guru reset for 2.24.401.8
3. Run rumrunner and get s off
4. Downgrade hboot to 1.44
5. Restore nandroid backup for my 02 version 1.28.206.7
6. Upgrade via OTA to 2.24.206.7 (mostly to fix the stock recovery to match)
7. Go s-on to see what happens
8. If s-on fails in any way then redo the HTC dev unlock, 're run rumrunner and get s off again using the same version of rumrunner
9. Reset tampered flag and lock bootloader via adb shell
10. Retry s-on again
11. Upgrade to latest hboot without having to do writesecureflag 3 again
Thoughts on this method? I'm just wondering if people tried going s on in hboot 1.55 caused this tampered message to appear or if I s on first and then update will it appear then after? I do t know. I'd like to hear your thoughts tho

Ok, my thoughts, in a nutshell
1. Unlock bootloader via HTC dev <- YES
2----- try rumrunner 3.62
2. Install guru reset for 2.24.401.8
3. Run rumrunner and get s off <- Ok, try, if it fails use above rumrunner 3.62
Once S-Off:
--- remove tampered: revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
5. Restore nandroid backup for my 02 version 1.28.206.7
--- set phone to LOCKED, using revone (or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914)
------- you will need to have SU privileges which you can get using revone or flashing SuperSU; if you do flash SuperSU, uninstall it after getting LOCKED
6. Upgrade via OTA to 2.24.206.7 (mostly to fix the stock recovery to match) <- Yep
11. Upgrade to latest hboot without having to do writesecureflag 3 again
Once you have your bootloader "LOCKED", no TAMPERED, no red text on bootup, do "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
reboot three times and see if everything sticks, and don't take any other OTAs.
Hit me with a thanks if this was useful
So you think I shouldn't upgrade to the latest OTA once I get s on?

Since you're sending it in for repair, why would you want to?
But anyway, as long as the above steps work to get S-Off (again and again, if necessary), you can try and see if you dont get that "tamper detected" thing again. If it doesnt show up again you're all good to go.
(and I would be curious if we could find out where that comes from. the "tamper detected" hmmm )

Ok so I'll do the HTC dev unlock and install the guru reset by recovery and s off again. The rumrunner for 3.62.401 does not work with my rpm version
After that I'll downgrade the hboot to 1.44, install an android 4.1.2 RUU and then flash my nandroid backup. I'll reset the tamper and lock bootloader after flashing stock recovery
Then I'll upgrade to 2.24.206.7 and try s on. If it fails. I'll run the rumrunner for version 2.24.401.8 which def works with that Rom version as confirmed by others. Then I'll do the reset flags again and try s on. Try few reboots then send in for repair once satisfied
Sound like a plan? I hope so lol

Yep, sounds good, except I would unlock using HTCdev then immediately try the 3.62 rumrunner to get S-Off, if it works GREAT and you're pretty much sure to be able to "easily" get S-Off on any version.
If it doesn't S-Off then try the Guru Reset.
BTW, as soon as you unlock, do a nandroid and "adb pull" it to your PC! just in case.

the touchscreen drivers were part of the 2.xx firmware package, not hboot, so if you don't use a full RUU, it will break the touchscreen drivers, but you can use an OTG cable + mouse.

Unfortunately you can't (anymore), but this one should be close enough: http://d-h.st/users/guich/?fld_id=25920#files, or the best thing is to get a hold of the OTA 3.62.206.1 file and extract it from it.
Anyway, in my humble opinion, first things first: unlock using HTCdev and see if you can get rumrunner to S-Off on 3.62.
I'm kinda in a bad situation here.
I am very familiar with adb, fastboot, flashing and all that jazz but ran into a problem here:
I was trying to return back to stock rom and locked device to return it for warranty (bad top speaker and mic) and in the process I re-locked the bootloader and switched the s-off to s-on.
But when I went to flash the RUU via fastboot I kept getting a error message of signature failure.
Then after trying more RUU's that were most similar to my device I still was getting the same error.
I then tried an .exe RUU but kept getting errors during the process.
If I reboot it, it just returns to the bootloader and recovery goes to the bootloader as well.
Here are some pics:

2- LOCKED not RELOCKED

it may get rid of tampered and security warning, but it will DEFINITELY NOT get you LOCKED, which is usually needed for warranty!!
time to unlock, get S-Off again, and follow the guide properly.
So will it install without error and get me stock ROM for now?
Cause after that, I can get S-OFF later, I'm just desperate for something to run now.

don't know what error 158 is... but the ruu should work fine; possibly USB3 problems??
HOWEVER, I highly recommend you get S-Off before upgrading to 4.4 !! (because there is a possibility S-Off won't work!!)
so unlock, s-off, then install any ROM, until you have time to do this properly!
how can I even get s-off again without a rom even installed ?

and even though it was a USB2 port, the "internal" usb hub showed as a "USB3 hub", a different PC, and it worked.
Hello everyone,
I've been trying to get back to stock on my Sprint HTC One. I have tried using the RUU in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 and no luck. I am HBoot 1.55, S-ON, and running a stock rooted rom that is on 4.4.2
So here is what I tried. I relock my bootloader and proceed to run the RUU, but 2 times I get stuck on 4% so I have no luck. I tried getting S-Off and maybe that could help me bring back to stock, but that did not work either. Really need to get this phone back to Stock, any help is appreciate it, no one responded in that thread so I'm asking here. Thanks in advance.
You'll need to flash the Full Firmware first.
If it still gets stuck try a different USB Port...USB 2 work best or try a different PC.

Use This Firmware
You will need to re-lock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
Flash firmware (follow the video)
Run the RUU and you will be back to stock.
You do not need to be s-off to do either.

Yes sir. Relocked, only that at the top it says "security warning." I renamed the folder to firmware.zip and it is on the platform tools folder.

So Hboot 1.55, S-ON, and can't go back to stock?
Go to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910
Download that RUU. Now, go into fastboot and relock your bootloader. Flash the firmware on that thread through fastboot, there's a video there showing you how. After that is done, go back to fastboot and you can run the RUU you downloaded from that thread. That's what I did and worked like a charm. Recommended if you use USB 2.0

Just flash firmware 4.06.651.4 (you'll be on hboot 1.56) and then run that RUU. Don't worry about 5.05.651.2 firmware or RUU.
Make sure you relock your bootloader before anything.
Whenever the RUU is done and you're back in stock, you'll get the OTAs to 5.05.651.2, just telling you exactly what I did that worked, I also had a lot of trouble getting back to stock/unrooting.
