So i got my second HTC One Sprint for the gsm as i live in Panama i can use it without problems, my first one i sold it but i love it and i get not so long a black one on 80 bucks and the seller was selling it as for parts or non working, just because it was with cyanogenmod 11 and it was untested "as is" so i took the risk to buy it knowing i could restore it with the ruu. However i am with a pain in the ass that i can't get it back to stock, i have tried with two differents ruu and both of them get stuck at the phase of cheacking header at 4% in a loop i have change it with bad boyz room and cyanogenmod, but honestly i don't like custom roms i prefer a stock rom rooted without bloatware and crapware and as Sprint is not so intrusive as Verizon ( almost all past phone i had have been Verizon) i wanted to put it stock cuz i'm waiting Lollipop. I have already unlocked the gsm for use here and i didn't have problem but with the bad boyz rom i have the loop of hands free something that i didn't had with the other one. I don't know if i have screwed up in the process of unlocking the gsm and that's the reason that i can't get it back to stock.
When i get it it was S-On and hboot and it's on 1.55, previously one was on 1.57 that was way harder to get the S-off and even with that one i got the no OS installed and i could recover it through the ruu that i have in my laptop, but with this one i don't know what i am doing wrong that i can't get it to stock. I tried with my laptop and desktop but also i don't know if windows have to do something with it because with the other one i was running windows 8.1 but now i am on 7.
Hope somebody can't help me to get it to stock, i don't want to give up but i am having 2 days trying to put it stock

I purchased a One off a friend which he told me had been rooted. I wasn't too keen on the idea but after looking in here it seemed moderately straightforward to get it back to factory settings again (but for the 'tampered' dialogue in the bootloader)
It is a SIM free model from Phones 4U in the UK so I figured I need the Europe RUU. I relocked the bootloader through fast boot but whenever I try to run RUU it freezes my computer up at the flashing stage (having taken sometimes up to TEN MINUTES just to open the app). Assuming it to be my old laptop I went to use my mum's PC and the same thing happens there. I have gotten as far as It saying 'boot loader' version error after an hour of waiting. Does this mean there is no RUU to flash my phone back to stock? And why is the RUU weighing down my phone so much?
Help would be terribly appreciated.
Just an update here. I've unlocked the bootloader again and the original ROM is still present. It's Android Revolution HD.
The recovery is CWM v6.0.3.0
I really want to get back to stock again. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? The guide said to relock the bootloader then flash the RUU but that is what got me in this position. I have two firmware files for Europe, neither of which work (boot loader error or something).
Does this mean that I am screwed with respect to ever getting this on stock firmware? It looks like there is no UK specific stock RUU nor even any nandroid ones.
If someone can help here I'd be really grateful.
You need to check the firmware version on the device at present. There are no UK RUUs as UK falls under EU, any RUU which is x.xx 401.x applies. Having said that, chances are the lastest leaked RUU (1.28.401.7) will be old compared to your current version so it wouldn't work anyway
I am trying to restore my T-Mobile One back to stock so I can send it back and exchange it for an S4... yet for some reason, every time I flash the stock ROMs, the touch screen dies. It works it in TWRP no matter what and it works in Android Revolution HD...
I *HAD* used the 1.54 firmware package but I used the 1.44 package...
I tried running the at&t RUU and it crashes as soon as it gets to the bootloader (I'm S-OFF and SuperCID so this makes no sense). I never modified my MID... I'm completely lost and this thing is supposed to go in the mail tomorrow. Can anyone help me? :/
Who would have thought... Where Windows 7 crashed on the at&t RUU as soon as it hit bootloader, Windows 8 which I despise so much is flashing the at&t RUU right now which should fix whatever I jacked up and enable me to flash TWRP through fastboot and the stock T-Mobile ROM and kernel. I hope. *fingers crossed*
Okay so it worked. Now I can remove SuperCID, flash the stock recovery, and remove S-OFF... Its going to show unlocked though but that shouldn't matter for a hardware issue.
I have had a Tmo HTC One since the day they came out. I rooted it, S-Off'd, Super CID, updated firmware and was running ARHD. Well the microphone stopped workng after a small drop and I had to have the phone replaced via Asurion insurance. I tried the warranty route, but I could not get the phone back to 100% stock and did not want to get screwed sending back an unlocked phone.
I just got my insurance supplied phone (I updated to the the 4.3 OTA from Tmo first thing) and being the glutton for punishment, I want to at least root it again and would love to run ARHD 30.x. In case of another warranty situation, I would like to make a backup of the phone in its stock state (recovery, ROM, etc...) and burn it to a DVD and put it away for safe keeping. Is this even possible? I cannot begin tell you how long I spent trying to get my original phone back to stock. I tried every tool, ROM and RUU and no luck. My understanding was because I updated the firmware and cold not go back down to a lower firmware and then I somehow relocked the bootloader and S-On'd and really screwed thing up.
The old phone is gone and is in the past, so whatever I did wrong doesn't matter. I just do not want to do it again this time around and anything I can do to create a safety net for the future, I will gladly do. My phone is completly stock running the Tmo 4.3 with 3.24 firmware.
What are my options?
fastboot boot recovery.img
But it stopped working after hboot 1.44, I dunno if it works on 1.55.
Otherwise you'll need to flash the recovery and find a stock recovery from eleswhere.
Hey guys,
Trying to figure out how to unbrick it before just calling the Carrier to sort things out there. Long story short, updated to 6.0 (stock firmware) and was working fine. But once I restarted the phone later in the day, it just got stuck on the boot screen. Really sucked...
Tried factory reset in the bootloader, no luck. Also tried to use the RUU for the latest firmware available currently, but for obvious reasons it doesn't work.
Therefore at the very least if someone could point towards the RUU version 5.11.631.8 Rogers, that would be a good start.
Free to any suggestions too! Used to flash roms and stuff when I had the Xperia X10 and the HTC Incredible so just need a brushing up on this stuff.
Also BTW, the Hboot is 1.57 but its also S-ON (never bothered to unlock it)
ok i have made a mess of my phone and am hopping that someone can help me sort it out. i am newbee to this.
i bought an htc m8 on sprint from ebay and shipped it over to ireland. so in order to try and sim unlock it so i could use it on networks over here i did a small bit of reading (not enough as it turns out). i unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery for sprint. i then downloaded a new rom thinking that it would also unlock my sim. i wiped my phone system before flashing the new rom but forgot to make a backup of my stock rom so there is no going back for me to that. so the way i sit at the moment i managed to get cm12 nightly to work its rooted with s-on.. i tryed using sunshine to s-off but it tells me i need to install a rom closer to stock. any rom i install wont work and i just boot back into bootloader.. i would like to get s-off if thats posable now and also install a rom that looks more like htc stock with sence on it...
thanks in advance
If you go to the HTC dev website, you can download an RUU to get back to Stock sense. Then after that you can S-Off and root and do all the other stuff you wanted
