Help pls: get back to carrier stock with latest updates - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
Another one trying to get back to issued state before returning to UK carrier for purple tint camera repair.
I've got my unlocked rooted S-OFFed HTC One M7 phone back to carrier stock Sense 5.5 from a kindly provided TW backup.
The carrier updates are d/l-ing but when it reboots to install it goes into my TW recovery.
I'm on hboot 1.57.
Tried installing stock recovery but I must be missing a step.
1) How to let the carrier Sense 6 updates install automatically?
Thanks in advance.

You will have to get back to stock recovery. It will not load as long as you have anything else.

If you found my posts helpful, Please click thanks :good:

Thank you.
I had to strip a carrier recovery image from a carrier RUU and now all the carrier system updates are installing.
Just a few more tidy up steps and I can return to the carrier for repair with a clear mind ... maybe!
Regards to all.

[Q] EE HTC One help

Hi,
I need to return my htc one to ee because I think it has a faulty speaker. I have been looking at the various methods to return to stock and have and have managed, using revone to s-off the device.
I am completely confused as to how to proceed now. Is there a specific ruu/rom that I need to flash for uk ee?
I have root and Android revolution 10.0 installed and a custom recovery.
One last point, will I always have the ugly htc unlock message on boot or can this be solved also if I am s-off.
thanks in advance

[Q] Returning HTC One GPe to stock

So I'm new to the rooting and ROM game. Its fun and I enjoy doing it. When I got my HTC One from Google, I immediately rooted it and flashed a new recovery. My next step in the learning process is learning how to unroot and go back to stock. For example if I need to send it in for RMA. What does this process entail and how do I do it???
Relocking the bootloader I can do, I think, its the "unflashing" recovery and reverting to stock that I'm in need of assistance on.
Thanks!
can anyone help with this as im trying to find the same thing
You can return to stock using S-OFF, flashing a signed RUU and turning the security flag back on.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158151

[Q] My HTC ONE (THREE UK Network) Stuck on Android 4.2.2 Can anyone help?

Hi Guys,
I rooted my HTC One previously but I wanted to update my phones android software so I can't much remember what I did, but
I tried to unroot it to get back to stock but I don't think I did this successfully.
My HTC One android version is 4.2.2
HTC Sense version is 5.0
am i right in thinking there are more up to date versions on the three UK network for my HTC ONE? But every time
i click check for software updates on my phone there aren't any that appear??
I'm really new to this, thank god i didn't brick my phone when i first rooted it, if i could i'd love to get
back to stock but I tried with no success, i really want to have an updated phone without having to
mess around with it anymore.
I believe i have attached an image more more information such as my baseband and kernel version.
could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to go back to stock so i can receive
updates without these issues. Thanks in advance guys
Kind regards

If I was you I would look to s-off your device, that way you can always have the latest rom version from XDA you can sometimes wait a long time for Networks to release the latest version to update over the air.
There are some very nice stock roms out there but if you don't wait to take the risk you need to unroot, restore stock recovery and relock your device I believe.
If you had made a nandroid backup before rooting you could have restored to the nandroid stock rom and simply restored the recovery and relocked.

headach going back to stock

Hello all,
I'll start with saying how awesome you all are!
Now that the pleasantries are done I have a damned frustrating problem.
I converted my Bell mobility m7 to a gpe m7, it was great until I got the ota 4.4.3 update and like many others got the screen glitch.
So I searched for a way to get it back to stock.
Here us what I've done, flashed twrp and restored the nandroid backup for my device ( all good here) I then changed the cid back to bm___001, also all good. Now it asks me to update the ota, it downloads and verifies, but when I select install now, it boots into twrp recovery and does nothing.
My bootloader is also Black and not the normal white.
My hboot is at 1.54, I have no idea how to get the stock hth recovery on this thing... I have s-off, it's unlocked.
I can get the var dump and post it when I get to my pc.
I've been looking for a week now and I'm stuck. Any help would be awesome..
Just a side, why is there no RUU for bell mobility ?
OTAs only install with stock recoveries. You need to find the correct stock version for the Rom you are on. There is a post on here with all the recoveries

Why would you try and OTA update a phone with TWRP recovery on it ?
the OTA updates check everything on your phone and can only be used on a totally stock phone with Stock Recovery.
have you tried this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529225
The odd thing is the HTC sense Rom checks the update and veryfies it , it starts to install then boots into twrp.
I have hboot 1.54, is that going to be an issue, how do I get to 1.55?

Read xda carefully to understand these stuff
from HTC One
Alright I installed the Bell recovery and it works fine. Rebooted phone and it asked again to install ota this time I said install now and watched. Seemed to install fine, but at the very end of the install I got the red triangle. I forced a reboot and I get a blue, then pink screen with boot up sounds, then the HTC logo with blue beats logo and it hangs.
I'll flash twrp back on and restore the nandroid backup I have and restart.
Anyone know why I still have the black bootloader and the Google screen at start up.?
Where Can I get the HTC bootloader?

[Q] How do I downgrade Android?

Mod Edit: Added questions from 2 other threads.
1. I have Android 4.4.4 On my Sprint HTC One M8 and my wifi is broke because I didn't update the firmware. My device will not take the firewater method to S-OFF and I am not going to spend 25$ on Sunshine. I was wondering If i could update my firmware while still S-ON or If someone could tell me how to Get my device back to Android 4.4.2 so my wifi works again. I have no stock backup because I had them all saved on my computer which decided to take a dump and stop working. CID is SPCS_001. I would be happy to just get a complete stock Recovery and not worry about the whole root process but I can not find one to Flash. I have TWRP Installed and was hoping someone could help me find a recovery that will take me back to 4.4.2 Please, All Help is GREATLY appreciated.
2. I have tried using Firewater to S-OFF my Sprint HTC One M8, I get all the way down but Before it finishes it reads an error saying something about the golden rule never use OTA or something and it goes on to Say device has been patched by HTC. What can I do to fix this?
3. I am stuck. I am searching for a Sprint Branded HTC One M8 Recovery I can download and flash through TWRP. I get an error every time i try firewater to get s-off so i am stuck s-on. I was thinking i could just download a recovery and flash it thorough twrp back to Android 4.4.2 Please help i can't use 4.4.4. because i can't update my firmware.

Hi Tim,
The only way to downgrade is if you are s-off.
You can update your firmware while s-on...you have to re-lock your bootloader.
Please post all your questions in THIS thread as I'm going to close the others.
Try not to open multiple threads in the future.
Thanks for understanding,

Will waterfire work on my phone??? My phone keeps sending me a notification to update and I don't want to see or accidentally update it and brick it because I am already rooted. I just wanted to flash a new Rom (CM11 to be exact).

You could just cough up the $25 like a lot of other people have had to do.
