[Q] I need help about turning back to the default ROM.

Hi everybody!
My IS has been unlocked from htcdev.com and currently uses Jelly Bean ROM form Nik. So unhappy that there's a problems with my camera and I need to maintain it, just bought it 10 days ago. So I wanna back to the origin ROM. I have read many topics but there's no topic about it in this HTC IS tab. I have known that:
+ Download the ROM ( RUU of something like that, I know what it really is) has radio the same with the one appears in the boot-launcher mode.
+ Flash ROM by using .exe may brock the phone .
+ We must use another way. And I don't know how to do this. Just like we must unrar the .exe, use .img and re-lock the phone or un-root.
Anybody who knows clearly about this problems pls give me some advice.
Thanks for advance. :fingers-crossed:
I'm so sorry if this is about spamming but I'm now so stressful (.

why dont you install Nik's Project X v4.1? that is a good ICS sense 4 rom. Camera and video and everything else works properly in that ROM.

You simply need to locate the RUU that matches the one you had when you unlocked your phone at HTCDEV.com.
Then relock the bootloader and run the RUU and you should be good to go.
If you put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter and post the results of this command:
fastboot getvar all
we can help you identify the RUU you should use.

I'm Asian and here my radio : 3831.18.00.11_M. There are 2 files in the filefactory folder, the follow link RUU out there. I downloaded WWE one.
SO I must put the .exe file into the folder which I created for unlocking phone?

No, you can now execute this file from any directory. It is a program that will guide you through the process of flashing this ROM.

Sorry dude. Why don't you simply flash We Want ICS by Nik?
It will be as having a rooted phone with the stock rom, ICS/Sense 3.6.
It's the simplest manner and the ROM wont let you disapponted...

But I want to come back to the default ROM because my camera has been broken and I need to maintain it at HTC. They will not maintain it if it is a rooted and unlocked phone.

When you say your camera is broken do you mean physical damage?
If your camera isn't working on the current JB ROM, thats a knows issue.
Even I would suggest flashing Nik's We Want ICS. It is like an optimised version of the stock. Most chances are that your camera should work. Flashing it should be easy-peasy. If your camera still doesn't work we could help you revert to Stock.

My advise is to flash a rom that has working camera drivers such as Project x4.1.
If the camera still not works properly lock your phone and install the RUU you need.

Yes, Its a physical damage. And I need to maintain it at HTC service. That's why I need to go back to the default ROM.

So you never did respond with this information to help you pick the correct RUU. Must have gotten lost in all of the 'why not flash a custom ROM' posts, huh?

Sorry to say you but when you give ur phone to HTC guy they will know that your warranty is void because even if you flash ruu and lock ur bootloader again u will see the the status "RELOCKED" instead of "LOCK" in hboot mode.

That's not always true. Unless you take it to them with a software issue they generally dont bother with checking hboot and stuff.
I got my Incredible S repaired (it had a malfunctioning earpiece) even if my hboot said Relocked.

Hi. I'm an Asian user. So what seems to be the problem?
I'm quite confused here, so help me out. From what I understand here, your camera is broken after flashing Jelly Bean ROM. May I know, what kind of damage are you facing? Is it the camera software or the physical itself?
If it is the camera software problem, I supposed your device is not S-OFF yet, therefore some features may not be available for S-ON user.
If so, I suggest you to get your device S-OFF first and try re-flashing the ROM. You can find the tutorial inside this forum on how to get our device S-OFF.
But if you don't want to get your device S-OFF, I suggest you to flash the .img file inside the Jelly Bean ROM file using fastboot command.
But if it is the physical damage, I suggest you to flash this RUU in fastboot, you can google it since I forgot where I downloaded it before:
RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_4.10.707.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266513_signed.exe
Hope this helps.

I think you just flash ARHD 4.0 mate,it's base on stock ROM with alot of enhanced feature. Almost everything work,even Wifi Hotspot. After a long long way with every ROM for IS,i always return to ARHD

YO thanks man!
i followed this guide:http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...roid422-jellybean-official-update-install.htm

You updated the firmware but not the ROM. This is expected. You should have updated the ROM. I guess you can put a ROM on if you unlock with HTCDev and adb push or adb sideload it.
Too late for revone unlock/S-off.

The site is not loading so I can't help you with the sim and wifi issues.
Updating from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 re-partitions the sd card. Check out "Method 2" from TrickDroid's site for more info: http://trickdroid.org/trickdroid-6-0-android-4-2-2-and-your-sd-card/
You won't be able to access the storage from the PC when you're in TWRP. You have to use adb sideload to transfer files to the sdcard.
They are step by step guides in XDA, use them.

Just posted on this thread the OP was getting his original info from, notifying things that were left out. Hopefully we wont see anymore users in this predicament.
AT&T HTC One | ARHD 12.1
Tbalden Perf Kernel 2.1.4 UV/OC/UC

As a general rule, it's a bad idea to make these kinds of changes to your phone based on "tutorials" you come across in general media publications via Google.
Everything you read on sites like that has been copied from xda, and often loses important information in the process, as you learned. You're better off getting it straight from the source.

Help with radio upgrade

I wasn't going to bother with upgrading my radio as don't have any issues, however I get LTE as part of my service plan now and thought, maybe it would be beneficial to do so.
I've got the international HTC One, I bought it before the first OTA update I think, and I rooted it just after. That means I missed out on the 4.2 and 4.2.2 OTA if I'm correct, maybe more updates if there were any.
The only reason I even found out that I may need a radio update is because when I went to get my AR52 update, I got mad and decided to S-Off as well (God bless you firewater!)
I'm not a noob but I'm not up on the differences in radios for the HTC One. Should I flash the latest? And if I do, do I have to re-lock the bootloader? I read in comments that I don't, and I really don't wanna go through the hassle of re-installing and backing up my pics and etc etc.

1- No need to (re)lock bootloader if you're S-Off.

1- edit your post and remove IMEI
2- same answer as above, except you should use GPE firmware if your using GPE. (radio can be any, try different ones... see which one is best for you)

thanks so much. I'll flash the radio sometime soon. I LOVE S-OFF!!!!

Recommend you keep a few on the phone, and try different ones when you think you're getting bad reception.
(That's what I do :silly: , since no wiping is involved, I just enter recovery, flash radio reboot, and see if it changed anything),
but for me the radio from 4.19.401.8/9: Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L is proving to be the best.
BTW: you can even flash radios with S-On (but not firmware)

1) https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B2JzZ_fh3QOGTjdyLUxyYWp4Vms
2) Extract the zip into a folder. Name this folder as 'fastboot'. (Well, u can name it as anything u want)
3) Install HTC Sync Manager from the HTC website
4) On your HTC One, go 2 settings and disable fast boot in power settings
5) Turn off your One
5) Keep the power+volume down pressed till u reach a white screen
6) Press the power button when u see 'FASTBOOT' highlighted. This will put your phone in fastboot mode
7) Open the 'fastboot' folder (or whatever u named it) which u created
8) Shift+Right click inside the folder. Open command prompt here
9) Type this in command prompt WITHOUT the quotation "fastboot getvar all"
10) Ull see a long output. Remove the imei and S/N. Post it here

adb wont work in the bootloader, heres where the fun starts:
ADB commands only work in a booted rom or in a custom recovery, they don't work in the bootloader
Fastboot commands only work in the bootloader, they don't work in a booted rom or recovery.
phew.....glad we got that bit out of the way
first thing is first, can you start downloading this, its your reset rom file, but the servers are a little slow, that's why I say start, when its finished downloading, rename it to rom.zip for ease, and put it in the same folder on your computer where adb and fastboot files are please, heres the file: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
whilst that is downloading, you will need to goto HTC Dev and unlock your bootloader, just follow the instructions they give you, its a piece of cake, and as you already have adb and fastboot, you wont need to download the 3 files later on that they tell you to download: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
your flags will then turn to UNLOCKED and TAMPERED, this is normal, nothing to worry about.

you could try one of the alternative links on that site, however, if your happy with your phone the way it is now then you wont need that file.
just scroll down the page a little and theres 2 alternative download links.

Its software that is not customized. Wikipedia says:
Computer software, and sometimes also other computing-related systems like computer hardware or algorithms, is called Vanilla when not customized from its original form, meaning that it is used without any customizations or updates applied to it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_software
Maybe actual vanilla would be stock android without any htc customizatios though.

ahh I see, now that's where we were heading originally, to get pure stock rom you will need to download that file I linked you too earlier, and as your phone is booting now, just copy the file to your internal storage not into the adb and fastboot folder.
i'll tell you what to do next if you want to proceed.

when the file has finished downloading, check the MD5 and file size before copying it to your phone, just to make sure its not corrupt.
then what you will have to do, is copy that file you are downloading to your internal storage, then reboot your phone to the bootloader and plug it into the computer,. make sure it says fastboot usb on the screen.
then download this file: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
and put it in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, open a command window (CMD) in that folder by holding control + shift + right mouse click in any white area of that folder and select open a command window here, then type the following commands one at a time, wait for each command to finish before issuing the next.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
once that is done, unplug your phone and enter recovery using the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select.
when in recovery goto wipe and just swipe to factory reset, do not advanced wipe.
when done, goto install and in the list it gives you, select the file you downloaded and copied to your internal storage, swipe to begin the install, follow the instructions, and when it gives you the options, select yes wipe data, yes install stock radio and yes install stock recovery.
once installation is complete, it will ask you to reboot, when you select reboot, if the screen goes black (this doesn't always happen, most times it reboots without any problems), just hold down the power button until the lights on the bottom flash 10 to 15 times and then the phone will boot to full stock rom with OTA ability.
I know this sounds long and confusing, but you will see as you go along its easy, just don't skip any steps.
if you have any problems, just report back here, but if you follow my instructions it should run like clockwork.

Download official ruu from here http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/ check the CID ... CID codes are given vit RUU .yrs is HTC_Y13 So try yur cid supported ruu. bootloader must b locked.

HTC One M7 Stock Recovery Backup

Hi Guys
Im new here so I hope I wont mess things up too bad, by posting something in the wrong place or something like that
I have a question about my Htc One M7 and I have been googling all day and either there is no easy solution or I am not able to find it...
So hopefully you can help me
My Htc One is at the moment completely stock. All I did was unlocking the bootloader as described by the htc-dev website.
I want to make a backup of my Stock Recovery, before I flash a custom one.
I tried to use this Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 to achieve that.
In step 7/8 it states ("In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot boot recovery.img (this command might not with newer hboots)") that I should be able to boot a recovery without flashing it. But it also says that it might not work with higher hboots.
It seems that it wont work with my Hboot 1.56
Now my actual question: Is there any way to make a backup of the 100% Stock Recovery?
And please dont give me a link where i can download one, i would like to create a backup myself
If you find anything that is wrong with this post (spelling, location or somthing), please let me know.
Thank you for your help

You can only use the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command on hboot 1.44. So if you absolutely want to backup the stock recovery using this method you'll need s-off in order to downgrade your hboot so you can boot a custom recovery without flashing it to dump the stock one, not very convenient... Stock recovery can be extracted from the ota update zip file of the same version your phone is running, this is the method used by everyone if their stock recovery.img is not already available to download here on xda.

Yes but not convenient at all like said above, I already did it once, just because the ota update zip file was encrypted and so it was impossible to extract the recovery directly from the ota so I had to pull it directly from the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54167697&postcount=1095

Can't give you any link to download your recovery anyway since we don't know what firmware version your phone is running.

It doesn't have to be this way, I just want to create my own backup of Stock Rom and Stock Recovery. If their is a way to extract it from an ota update, I would gladly use this method. Do you know a good guide, that explains how to do that? And could I do that with the current version of Android running on the Phone? Update sounds like I would have to update it first?

To extract the stock recovery from an update update, simply open the zip file, inside you'll find another zip file named "firmware.zip" open that one and extract the recovery.img file.
what is your firmware version? "fastboot getvar version-main"

You can get the ota zip file when downloading an update and selecting "install later". Once the download is completed, connect your phone to your computer and copy the ota zip file from your download folder to your computer. Once the update is installed, the ota zip file is deleted form the phone so you can't extract the update from the phone since its already installed.
You can find the ota update file for your version (from 4.19.401.9 to 4.19.401.11) here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655045071
Or directly download the 4.19.401.11 stock recovery here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717070740 which is the same exact recovery installed on your phone.

I think i did it. Thank you very much!
there is the firmware folder with 9 .img files in it seems to be right, altough I can't open the zip folder directly (it says error- Folder invalid), but it worked when I extracted the Folder...
The 9 .img files are about 100 MB, is that right?
And could I apply the same update to my second HTC One M7( running a rooted Stock with Android 5.0.2), to get it back to Stock Rom and Recovery?
What do I have to check to make sure they are compatible?

Okay, but if I would install the update and make a Nandroid backup of the updated Rom, would I be able to install that Nandroid backup also on the second Phone?
And would I be able to use the recoverybackup I received out of the OTA.zip to restore the first Phone to StockRecovery if I flashed a custom Recovery after I updated?

I'm not sure if I should answer this one before knowing the details (fastboot getvar all) of the second phone and knowing what is your goal exactly. That might only brings more confusion and there might be easier solution to restore your phone than creating a backup from device A and restoring it to B...
But yes its possible, you want to make sure your recovery version, software version and firmware version match together. E.G You don't want to restore a 4.19.401.11 software backup on a phone running a different firmware version and the recovery version must also match. So if phone B is 7.19.401.22 firmware you want to restore a 7.19.401.22 software and a 7.19.401.22 stock recovery. If you have updated phone A from 4.19.401.11 to 7.19.401.22 and then make a backup of it, you should be fine restoring that backup on phone B. Any mismatch between version will prevent installation of ota updates and in some case you can have drivers issues.

Well the second phone can simply be updated to the latest version by flashing the 7.19.401.22 ruu and then taking one ota update to 7.19.401.30 which is the latest version.
The first phone can also be updated to the latest version by flashing the 7.19.401.2 firmware first and then doing the same thing, flashing the 7.19.401.22 ruu and then taking one ota update to 7.19.401.30. Simple and easy unlike what you are trying to do

Here is the essential:
(bootloader) version-bootloader: This is your bootloader version, sometime called hboot
(bootloader) version-baseband: This is your radio version, radio is the software that controls the reception/transmission. Different carriers/region will requires different radio version because of different infrastructures.
(bootloader) version-main: This is your firmware version, the firmware is the code that make possible the interaction between the software and the hardware.
(bootloader) serialno: Serial number of your phone, don't share this number on the forum
(bootloader) imei: IMEI number is a unique number identifier for GSM networks, for example if your phone is declared lost/stolen or linked to unpaid bills, this number will be added to an international blacklist and you won't be able to use your phone on any carrier worldwide. Don't share this number on the forum.
(bootloader) meid: MEID is the same as IMEI but for CDMA phones, on GSM phone you don't have an MEID (only showing 0)
(bootloader) product: This is your product code, M7_UL means its a M7, U = GSM, L= LTE so its a M7 GSM/LTE
(bootloader) modelid: Model ID (MID) is a little like the product code but more specific to your region. For example, PN0710000 = M7_UL Europe. PN0712000 is also a M7_UL but for North America (all Canadian carriers, USA's AT&T, Google Play Edition and US developer edition)
(bootloader) cidnum: CID is the carrier / region ID
(bootloader) security: Security ON/OFF. Read about s-on/s-off here

How would I know if these are compatible?
I would rather not use some download from the Internet because I afraid that somebody messed it up and I won't get the 100% Stock, maybe even an infected one. (Is this even a rational fear? )
That's why I am trying to create all the necessary resources myself, so I can be sure that they are alright. Also I learn much more if I do it step by step instead of just flashing a Rom from the web.
For example how do I check if a Rom is compatible with my device?

Not really since the RUU are offical (from HTC) and also they are encrypted with HTC private key .The 7.19.401.22 ruu was uploaded by me as you can see here. :good: So there is nothing to fear. Then the 7.19.401.30 ota update will come directly from HTC's servers so again, nothing to fear.

First you have a M7_UL (GSM variant) so make sure you are only flashing M7 GSM stuff (rom, recovery, kernel etc). Also read the rom thread to see if you have all the pre-requisite before flashing a rom, for example, lollipop roms requires at least a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware to work correctly so it would work fine on phone B but not on phone A. Another example: CyanogenMod roms requires at least TWRP recovery 2.7.1.1, using anything below that will not work. Thats why you should always read the first post of the thread from the rom you want to flash before proceeding. If you are unsure after reading, better to ask questions instead of (soft) bricking,

So can I flash the 7.19.401.22 from you directly on phone B? And then update over the official server? Then Phone B is completely stock and with the newest version?
If understood the whole s-off/ s-on that you posted, I only can flash the official RUUs on Phone B with s-on?
I think after that I understood everything for now thank you very much!
Do you have a good source where I can read about this whole topic? I need something like an encyclopedia with explanations, that are not completely basic but easy enough for me to understand

Yes you can and btw the ruu is not from me, I have uploaded it but its an official RUU from HTC.

You can also flash the RUU on Phone A but you will need to update its firmware first since its too old to accept the 7.19.401.2 ruu

About what? flashing RUU?
Btw, you'll find instructions how to flash the ruu here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944 (see post #1)

I meant to ask if it is correct that I can only Flash official RUUs while on S-On?
I mean something like a collection of Information about all the terms used around flashing and rooting.
At the moment I just google everything I don't understand/know, but I would like to understand it all completely. Is there something like a guide, that doesn't only say " Do this and then do that" but also explains why I should do this and what exactly I am doing.

Thanks, can I flash everything from there that has my CID? Or do I have to look out for something else?
And while I am doing this, could I switch from Sense to the Google Play Edition on Phone B?

As long as the rom you want to flash is for a M7_UL you should be able to flash it, CID is more important when you want to flash a RUU.

Using a custom GPE rom yes its possible, using a GPE RUU no because the phone is S-ON and flashing the GPE ruu would requires to change the phone CID/MID (s-off needed)

So could I flash this Rom, although it says its for Gsm or would I lose my ability to use lte?

Is this even the correct Rom if I want the complete stock gpe? And if flash the unrooted version would I be able to root it in a second step (Easier for me to learn the stuff, then just flashing a rooted Rom)

I think I understood it wrong... I thought the Ruu is a part of a Rom? Used to verify if it is official or not?
Do you know a collection of Information about all the terms used around flashing and rooting.
