Help reverting back to stock.

I'm trying to unroot and revert back to stock and having a bit of a nightmare. I didn't make my own nandroid backup before I installed a customer rom (lesson learnt), so I downloaded the one I needed off a thread on here (UK Unbranded CWM). Every time I try to flash the nandroid I get an MD5 sum mismatch error. I've tried various methods people have suggested across the internet to no joy. Is there a stock .401 rom knocking about? I saw mikes thread but that has the latest 4.22 stock rom, is there one for an older version? Thanks.

if you have s-off you should
1)download this ruu http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdownload.php?file=M7/RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
2)lock your bootloader (use command "fastboot oem lock")
3)run ruu
4)done

Thank you very much. I've managed to restore from a nandroid backup and I've installed stock recovery, I'm now installing a OTA as prompted by the device. As I now have stock rom, recovery and no root access, gain I still use revone to lock bootloader and go S-On? The reason I want to use revone is so that it doesn't say 're-locked'. If so, how? Thanks for all your help.

if you recieved the OTA i think there's no need to relock the bootloader, but if you want to... so yes, use revone.
"./revone -l" to lock it (no relocked warning)
if you recieve the tampared warning use:
"./revone -t"
cheers

S-Off issues... need help!

i apologize in advance for the noob issues... I am having issues trying to achieve s-off on my htc one. i am rooted right now, running stock 4.3 GPE rom. I have TWRP recovery installed. everything works perfectly. however i would like to do a complete conversion so i will recieve OTA updates from google, and not have to worry about flashing roms. so when i first tried to achieve s-off , i was using revone method. i was getting an error code (-1) then i read that that method wouldnt work, if you were running 4.3. so i then restored my nandroid backup, which i was running 4.1.2. but before flashing my backup i did a system wipe, just to be safe. so i tried revone method again. only now i get error code (-6) so i gave up. but i think when i did my system wipe , i lost my stock back up? so my 2 questions are, where is my nandroid backup? did i lose it when i did a system wipe? and how can i achieve s-off? i am not sure how to tell what firmware version i am running, i didnt see it in settings anywhere, nor do i know what hboot i have (1.44 or 1.54?) how do i tell? thanks guys!

Ok sir, I try to help you.
First, you need to have knowledge with ADB and fastboot, but you should have them both in a folder since you unlocked your device through HTCdev. Then open a terminal and navigate to this particular folder. When you connected your HTC One M7 with the computer and UNINSTALLED HTCSync you can type "adb devices" to ensure you have a connection to your cell phone. Then you have to boot into the bootloader with this command "adb reboot bootloader" and there you see on the first couple of lines your HBOOT version. You'll see it! Then you boot into the recovery from the bootloader and install a ROM from this side that matches a version of rumrunner s off: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ch/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
Secondly then getting updates from Google you need to proceed these steps:

that helps some, lol. so i now know how to find out what hboot version i have (i'm assuming that because i have 4.3 i am running hboot 1.54).... so thank you! i saw the rumrunner thread for the latest s-off. i will proceed with those steps... as far as completing the full google play conversion that actually sounds pretty easy once you have s-off. i can handle that. ( change cid to googl0001 and flash the new ruu, and stock recovery done!)
so now i just need to know what firmware version i have?
did i delete my back up when i did a system wipe?

To reiterate...
I am on hboot 1.44, rooted running a stock GPE 4.3 Rom. Also, I feel stupid, but I can't seem to find out what firmware version I have? So I have tried twice with no avail. First I tried the typical revone method , but i was getting an error code -1, because I was on 4.3. So I flashed my backup, and returned to my stock rom on 4.1.2, and tried again. This time I was getting an error code -6? So I temporarely gave up, until I saw the rumrunner method here on xda. Worst part is when I returned to stock, I did a system wipe before flashing back to my 4.3 GPE rom, and deleted my backup! So I am nervous about flashing anything else, being that I dont have a backup! Long story short, all I want to do is finish a complete GPE conversion, and I need s-off to change my CID. At this point, all I need to do is achieve s-off, flash the GPE CID, and then flash a stock recovery and I'm done! So any thoughts on how to help me achieve s-off without potentionally bricking this thing?
edit: my build number is JWR66Y.H1 , does this mean I am on 3.07.1700.1

boot to bootloader -> FASTBOOT, connect your phone to PC and it will change to FASTBOOT USB (picture attached)
then type "fastboot getvar all" and post it (remove IMEI and s/n before posting), also post the date it shows on that white screen.

Why don't you use a RUU and flash the stock recovery, so you can recieve OTA updates and then you can just choose the correct rumrunner s off file and let it do the work. Then you don't really have to worry about the version number and btw. you can simply look it up in the settings. Can you pls ask if I didn't explane it well? Because this is very probable^^

[Q] S-On Htc First?

So I've run into a problem with my new Htc First phone, the wifi doesnt locate any access points.
Its unlocked,rooted and S-off-ed.
I can unroot and lock the bootloader but does anyone know how to S-on it?

Yea, you just have to ruu first and then follow this guide.

You usually have to run a factory reset, cache/dalvik cache wipe before you flash roms. I get that wifi problem sometimes when trying to flash a rom before wiping.

DUDE QUICK THING ! you can't flash any roms in till you RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER ! I know it sounds weird but trust me you will keep the S-off status (assuming you have s-off) and everything works fine, I couldn't flash any roms in till I relocked and I heard others have this problem too.
Now the WiFi problem, if factory resetting doesn't work, try flashing the stock rooted ROM around these threads, if that doesn't work try JMZ's kernel, and if that doesn't work then you have a hardware problem, good luck.

If he just RUU's it he won't have to worry about relocking his boot loader, he should just use titainium backup and ruu to save time.

I've tried it many times already it works, after you ruu it you just have to turn s-on before you try to unlock the boot loader again otherwise you'll get bootloop.

guys guys, you've lost me.
All I need to do is wipe away all traces of my rooting and bootloader unlocking etc as I'm returning it for warranty.
Now my First is rooted, custom recovery and s-off and unlocked .
I want it unrooted, s-on and boot loader locked.
Someone please guide me through the steps :/
btw im not a n00b, but this is my first HTC phone so I'm not too familiar with these ruu's and s-offs

Step 1. RUU your device
Step 2. After it reboots when it's done ruu'ing just start it and go through the set up.
Step 3. Turn on USB debugging mode.
Step 4. Turn on CMD on your PC then just follow the commands below
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx (where xxxxxxxx is your stock CID.) Mines is CWS__001 on the HTC first I'm not sure if it's the same on all devices just check to see if yours it the same, if it is just use fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid (It should say CWS__001 if that is your cid.)
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot
And that's it, it is a extremely simple process lol, I've done it at least 20 times since I tend to ruu my device a lot off of S-OFF, when messing around with different roms.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
So its okay if I flash the ruu by the second method as in this thread?
And will custom recovery be overwritten with stock recovery?

OK Update!
I was well on my way to relock,s-on my phone etc and here's what happened
 @Kendosis
 @SneakyGuyDavid
1) Sucessfully RUU'd
As it happened I didnt have my sim inserted and when I rebooted, the wifi was working! When I inserted the sim the wifi stopped working. I did some bit of research and it turns out it has something to do with wifi country codes. Apparently it can be fixed by this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fardjad.android.wifixmanager
2) Since the app required root, I was going to get root again.
(Flashing RUU gave me bootloader locked)
I unlocked and then flashed CWM
3) Since I had no roms on my phone storage and the CWM doesnt mount storage, I had to sideload the ROMS.
4) No matter which roms I flashed, I was stuck in a bootloop. I relocked and tried flashing again but I was again stuck in a bootloop. CWM works fine though.
Current status: Bootloader Locked, S-off.
What do I do to fix this bootloop :/

@dramon
I told you to s-on after you ruu first otherwise you get boot loop lol.
Now RUU again and right after don't install nothing just start up the phone and turn usb debugging on and follow the steps to S-ON.

also sideload sucks ass, if you flash TWRP then you can run adb from it and use adb push, so in cmd you would run " adb push
ROMZIPNAME.ZIP /sdcard "

Thanks guys, I now have an idea of how the rooting and unlocking works for HTC (Y)

Restore to Stock

I have a (sprint) H/K edition M8 running 4.4.2 rooted with TWRP recovery, s-on with 1.54.654.13 & SPCS-004. I wish to return to stock to get the Lollipop update and then return to root. Im at a loss as to what to do please help any advice is appreciated.

Check out the thread in the link below. Use the RUU for the HK Lollipop update. You'll need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU. After running the RUU you'll need to unlock your bootloader and reinstall TWRP. You can then flash a ROM.

Connect your phone to your computer. Run the command fastboot oem lock. That will relock your bootloader.

Not to hijack the thread but how do I put it back to 100% stock so I can do a warranty return? I am mostly talking about how to remove s-off. I figure I need to have it back to s-on to do the warranty return.

You have to make sure you install the drivers in recovery,bootloader, and OS
ADB = OS and recovery
Fastboot = hboot/fastbootusb.
The waiting for device might be that you are not in fastbootusb

bootloader says RELOCKED, attempting to run RUU...

You can install TWRP and root just like you were on any other update. Android version does not matter. Just make sure you unlock the bootloader again, you can use the same unlock token from HTC dev. Then you want to install recovery
Code:
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
After that, from fastboot, boot into recovery and then reboot system. If you use a newer TWRP it will prompt you to install superSU.

(Q) Restoring HTC M7 back to Rogers Stock.

Hi guys I have acquired a Rogers M7 that powers on but then just sits at a blank screen after boot. I can access fastboot and als flashed twrp recovery, I m on OS version 7.17.631.7 lollipop I believe, it is S-ON , HBOOT 1.61, I unlocked the bootloader using the HTCDEV.
I have tried to getting it past the blank screen by using the latest RUU I could find, 4.19.631.9 but that did not work, I think cause the s-on will not allow a downgrade, I also tried using the One_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1 to side load a zip but same problem, fails verification. I have also tried a nandroid back by copying it to the internal memory but still not working.
Can anyone help me fix this phone so it can be usable again? or provide me with an RUU that will work.
Thanks

Right, you can't downgrade when S-ON. Relock your bootloader and flash the 7.17.631.7 RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
I would also recommend that you stop using toolkits and learn to use adb and fastboot directly from a command window. These tools are not up-to-date and will most likely cause some issues.

If you have already used adb then you won't have any difficulty using fastboot, it's basically the same thing and the commands to flash the ruu are posted in the link above. Just don't forget to use the fastboot version from that thread or it won't work.
