Restore m7 to factory settings - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I recently bought a T-Mobile HTC one m7. The boot loader is unlocked, it has a custom recovery and a ROM installed, the hboot is 1.57, but its s-on. What I'm trying to do is to restore to factory settings and relock the boot loader to allow ota updates. I want to run stock for a few months and then unlock the boot loader again to install a ROM. Can any of you guys help me with this? Thanks!

As you can see there are plenty of ways to do Rom and Kernel updates. If you are the type of person that wants to easily get the Stock ICS Rom, use the RUU. RUU stands for "Rom Update Utility" and all you need to do is download the RUU (it will be a zip file with 1 EXE inside), plug your phone into your computer, extract the EXE file and Run. Everything will be automatic.
If you unlocked your bootloader, make sure to relock it. Also, the RUU states to make sure you have at least 30% battery life, but I alway charge it up all the way before I perform any update.
I hope this helps a little.

Yes the att one would be fine I guess , bloat ware I guess don't bother me not sure even what it is ,
I can flash a new one after I've unlocked the boot loader and rooted ? If correct then just put the exe and run files on the sd as before ?
So the kernel has to match the Rom ....also if I load or flash a Rom do I need to flash the kernel too ?
I just read that again run is not a file it is what you do with exe right ?
Unzip the exe file to desktop or somewhere accessible, make sure phone has usb debugging enabled,also need to have htc sync installed....plug in phone to computer via usb cable...execute the ruu...after this has flashed the phone and rebooted/loaded etc....then if you choose to unlock the bootloader go to htcdev website, register and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked then you have to decide what rom you would like to use and thats about it....

You can't update via OTA if you have a custom recovery and rom, you need to go back to stock if you want to do so
I agree with the first reply. Just return it. I completely bricked my first One and took it back to Best Buy. They didn't even turn it on. They just made sure there wasn't a rock in there instead of the phone. LOL

I don't believe the OTA update is going to help you at all. Here's what I would do. The factory RUU (ROM Update Utility) that HTC provides is an executable that you run from your Windows PC (XP preferred). You don't have to load it to the phone - your phone just has to be connected.
A couple questions before we begin:
1 - Which phone did you get? DEV 64 - AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile?
2 - Do you want to save anything on that phone?
If no to 2, just continue. But if you want to save anything you'll need to use either Titanium Backup or Go Backup & Restore Pro (my favorite). Back up to the cloud or copy your backed up items off your phone if you wish to keep them because you're about to wipe it clean.
You can find the RUU for the DEV unit here - http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You may need to register at htcdev.com to access this page. But here you'll find a list of downloads - some are CRC (kernel source code) and one is RUU (WWE stands for World Wide Edition). Download that to your PC.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I would boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset my phone. This will erase anything that you have on it. I'd also wipe the cache and davlik.
Next once the RUU is downloaded and you're sure you've backed up EVERYTHING you want to keep, double click on the RUU. It should be cake from there. It'll restore your One back to factory standards and you should be able to send this puppy back.:highfive:

Also, if you bought the unlocked version from HTC like I did then you're fine with having it factory unlocked with an unlocked bootloader. You don't need to re-lock that.
By the way, here's a graphic of the file you'll want to download and run on your computer when you're ready to restore the phone.

Ok, I don't think so. Sorry. The RUU appears to be for the Dev edition only. That was the mistake I made and I completely hosed my previous phone. I see the one that you bought here: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41589
Until HTC releases an RUU for that device we can't go that route.
The only other route would be to flash the stock ROM to your phone at the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
Follow the instructions. You'll end up adb flashing the stock boot.img and stock recovery back to your phone. Those files are discussed in the first post.
It's a little more work, but this is the kind of stuff that I love staying up late for. Good luck and sorry we couldn't do it with an RUU.

Once you are unlocked you don't updates anymore. You have to wait until one of the Dev's create a modified firmware update.
EDIT: Actually never do a OTA if you are S-Off. There may not be an exploit yet and will have to wait until there is to regain S-OFF.

Not true.. Once you are S-OFF you stay S-OFF even after an HBOOT update. This is assuming that you are still using the stock odex ROM with stock recovery.

That's correct if you are already s-off, we usually don't get s-off so quickly. But if you didn't s-off and are unlocked, it might take a while to exploit the updated HBOOT.

How to get OTA from your Device:
1. When an update is available, let it download. After the download completes, when it asks for intalling, give install later.
2. Connect your device in Storage mode and search the memory card for "OTA"
How to Install OTA:
1. Download OTA file
2. Rename it 'update.zip' (not update.zip.zip)
3. Put on root of SD card
4. Boot phone into HBOOT
5. Select recovery
6. Select Update from Zip
7. Select 'install update.zip from SD card'

Need help finding

Need helping finding a stock Non HK rom of Software 2.16.651.4. I need to unroot my device and have failed at finding a 2.16.651.4 backup to be able to flash back and unroot. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have done hours of google searches and haven't been been to find anything other than odex or deodexed roms which won't work. I tried using a back up and flashing back to an older software version but it failed to update back up so had to reroot. Can anyone please help
Here is the 2.16.651.4 RUU, straight from HTC. Look under the section titled "Manual System Update Instructions". This will unroot your device and install the stock Android system recovery. If you're S-on you'll need to relock the bootloader first using the command "fastboot oem lock" (from the bootloader) while connected via Fastboot USB mode. If you're S-off you do not need to relock the bootloader. Afterwards, just follow the instructions on HTC's site to install the RUU.

Fastboot oem lock is a command that you type in to a command terminal on your computer while your phone is connected via Fastboot USB mode. The command relocks your bootloader. You need to have a working ADB/Fastboot environment set up on your computer first in order to do so. Hit the link below for more info.

You need to have a working ADB/Fastboot environment set up on your computer first in order to do so. Hit the link below for more info.
This is a reason I hate toolkits. They simplify everything but don't teach you very little, if anything

Okay thanks. Could I just use the tool kit to relock the bootloader and everything then use the RUU to update to the current version? I am not sure if I can do it following that method. To relock it anyway. Also to do this method do I need S-Off because I do not have S-Of.

If the toolkit has that capability, sure. As far as S-off, no, you don't need it.

It does have the capability to relock the boot loader you just need to flash a stock backup to do so. Which is why I posted originally. The only stock backsup I can find are for version 1.54.x which I tried using but it failed to update to newer versions got the red triangle so I had to re root. to flash the current firmware. The only versions of the current firmwear I can find is stock odex and deodexed which I was told won't work. If I do it the adb way d I need to be on 1.54 or can I still be on the 2.16 rom. If I could just find a stock rom or backup (deleted mine by accident) t would be much easier.
Here is a stock rooted ROM based off the latest OTA update. Download & flash in recovery:

Why again are you trying to unroot your phone?
You should be able to open a command prompt/cmd window from the toolkit.
Once open type
Code:
adb devices
This should return your serial number with Device next to it
If it does type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader type
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU in post 4 Magnum_Enforcer linked you to.
You will be completely stock afterwards

Don't know much about SIM unlocking so I can't answer that part of the question. Updating via RUU, OTA or custom ROM won't put you back S-on.
I wanted to know If anyone had a link for the 2.16.651.4 stock recovery

OS version not shown when in boot loader mode.

Hi all. I just had my M7 in bootloader mode and noticed that the OS is blank. I have been trying to run RUUs and flash new firmware with no success. I have adb/fastboot set up on my pc running Vista and have had no problem flash recoveries through command prompt. I want to update my phone. Does anyone have any idea where to start? Thanks.

2 things
your bootloader must be locked (if your s-on)
the firmware must match your phone and must be the same version you have now or newer
Thanks. I am-off. I will check more when I get home tonight.

If your s-off you just need to edit the android_info.txt in the firmware to match your phone
you can flash any firmware without relocking the bootloader
