Sorry for another question regarding going back to stock, but couldnt find an answer to my question.

Im on 2.24.111.3 firmware now (4.2.2)
Could someone please tell me where should i get appropriate recovery ?
Thanks

Can't really find a recovery matching my current software number, the closest one is recovery 2.24.401.1.img - can i flash it over 2.24.111.3 software?
Thanks

I think you can. I don't know about 2.24.111.3, but for example, 2.24.401.2 has the same recovery as 2.24.401.1. Anyway, trying it shouldn't hurt, you can always flash another stock or custom recovery anyway.
One thing though (don't know if that was a mistake on my part or intentional), when I flashed a stock recovery and rebooted into it (I was trying something on my phone), it wiped my sdcard.

Theirs a nice collection of Stock recovery's here > > http://d-h.st/users/guich/?fld_id=29380#files

I was thinking to ask the same because I remember one time I restored a original recovery for my version and still couldn't take OTA update. I needed to install a guru reset over my installation. Now I have latest firmware and already S-off but all stock and since there is no guru reset for latest version I think would be handy to backup each one recovery. I didn't root my device just because of this.

you can extract the recovery from the ota file of your phone or from the ruu. Its located inside the firmware.zip

I don't see any OTA for my build, my devices is CID: H3G__001. If yes, i will not post the question like this

HTC one OTA

Hello everyone, I have a question. First of all, I have a rooted HTC one on stock ROM with TWRP recovery with s-on (haven't got to it yet.). How would I install an OTA without loosing root? I saw a video in which I flash stock recovery, download and install OTA, then reinstall custom recovery. Question us will this work on s-on? If not, is there another way? Thanks!

The minute you flash the stock recovery you will lose root. The steps you describe is how to get the OTA. For the OTA you need stock recovery, stock rom and you may need some files in the /preload/ folder that were deleted when you unlocked your bootloader.

Oh ok, well as thanks for the reply. Do you think it would be possible to download it and install it by flashing the apk file or zip file instead of OTA?

If you are S-OFF you can flash it in stock recovery otherwise you will have to get the file OTA.

It would be better to use a Guru Reset if you want ota's. You can simply make a backup in custom recovery. Flash the reset zip and take ota updates when your all done reflash twrp recovery and restore your backup.
You need to see if there's a reset zip that matches your MID, CID and Version main. For it to work though. Look here http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ or post your details if you need help to find the right one.

[Q] Returning HTC One M7 to stock. Assistance required with RUU.

Hi.
I should start by saying that I am completely new to rooting phones. I think it's fair to say that I am in over my head!
I am attempting to return my HTC One M7 back to stock. I have relocked to bootloader but am unable to find a RRU that is compatible with my device. I basically want my phone as it was (able to receive official OTA's etc). My phone is S-on and hasnt been S-off. I'm not confident enough to go S-off.
My phones details are shown in the attached photo. My CID is ORANG001 (UK EE).
I have been through the extensive list but none are compatible with my device.
Any assistance offered would be appreciated. Remember - speak slowly!
Thanks.

just on a side note, please tell us you DIDNT re-lock your bootloader with a cutom recovery on your phone like TWRP or CWM ?
sorry to butt in @clsA just had to ask as I wouldnt know what to do for him if there is no files availble.

I had attempted to install a custom rom but the installation failed and it factory reset my phone. Basically, I appear to be using my stock RUU but ota is appears to be disabled. I attempted to install this rom, followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189373

Ok that's fine
you need to unlock the bootloader now at htcdev.com so you can flash the correct recovery to you phone
download TWRP 2.8.5.0 here > http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
flash it
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery and copy your rom to your phone again and install it again
no need to wipe again / theirs no RUU for your phone so no need to relock the bootloader any more

Very helpful. Thanks.
I'm sorry to cause further frustration, but could you give me simpler instructions? I don't want to make my situation any worse!
As I said above, I'm in way over my head.

Humm that's as simple as it gets
go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader
when it's done download TWRP 2.8.5.0 and Flash it same as you did the unlock token above, in a command prompt from the folder with fastboot in it.
when you get to the TWRP recovery screen copy your rom to the phones storage and then click install it in TWRP
choose your file you just copied and let it install
the first reboot to lollipop will take a long time ...be patient
actually your not on 7.x firmware .. you need to flash an older rom
Use this one >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22071
it matches your firmware better

Thanks. And that'll return my phone to stock?

Trying to root to get 6.0 very confused please help

Hello everyone,
I run Note 5, but not that it is in the repair I wanted to try and get 6.0 onto my HTC One M7. Problem is I don't know how to root it. What I did before, I had International version of M7 so I rooted it and installed Google Play Edition rom. Obviously since then my root is gone (not sure about recovery), OTA updated it to 5.1 and that's it.
I have tried 1 click root, Kingo Root but none of them would root. How can I go about rooting this device now? Do I need to revert to stock or what?
Now here are my rom details:
Kernel Version 3.4.10-ge0627be
Build number LMY470.H11
Thank you.

There is no android 6.0 for the M7 and the only 6.0 custom roms you'll find for it now are nightly (unstable) builds of Cyagnogenmod 13
For your rooting question, simply flash twrp recovery and then flash update-supersu2.46.zip using twrp and the phone is rooted.

I remember when I got this phone I installed clockwork mod then rooted then installed unrooted GPE rom. Does that mean that my customer recovery is still there untouched or has it been wiped and replaced with stock one?
Also would you be kind enough to point me to where can I find how to replaced Clockwork recovery with TWRP ?
I guess I will wait for some custom 6.0 rom in the future.

If you want to know what recovery is currently installed on the phone, why not simply booting in recovery mode?

Dang... You beat me to it [emoji23]

Overall I want to know your opinion in Clockwork vs TWRP? Which one is better right now? More useful?
