The Story
So a few days ago I decided I wanted to try rooting my phone despite not really knowing much about the process.
First I unlocked my bootloader, simple enough right? Even managed to change my recovery to twrp and it worked fine.
Being naive I decided to tried to root the phone by installing supersu using twrp. I placed a zip file on my phone and attempted to flash using twrp
Long be hold my phone was still booting but then I tried to update the version of supersu because it was not working. This is when the problems started.
A tampered flag appear in my bootloader which of course is because I was not S-OFF! (Did not know what that was at the time)
So now my phone appears to be bricked and I can no longer boot into the OS
After much research and trying out different solutions, nothing appears to work.
From what I have gathered the only thing I can do is to restore the stock image. That would be fine if it were possible to find!
Not sure how accurate this is but I have read that RUUs do not work if you are S-ON.
Please someone help me...Not having a phone for 2 days now is a bummer!
EDIT :adb and fastboot are installed and working. Though adb seems to only work when I am in recovery
UPDATE: So as suggested by alray I updated the supersu to newest version and my phone now boots!
Thank you to all who responded!

RUU works with s-on, you only need s-off if the ruu you want to use is a downgrade.

Whoa both supersu version are really outdated. You must use 2.46 on lollipop so boot in your recovery and flash 2.46 and if your phone still refuse to boot we will help you relfash the rom.
Sorry, forgot to say, don't post your IMEI, remove it from your above post.
Should blank out your serial and imei on the forum

Just curious why exactly is it a bad idea to post the imei and serial?
OK I will reply with the results of updating the superSU
This is actually quite weird but I have the exact same problem as you and seem to have the same MID and CID as you aswell.
I also happened to get the SuperSU 1.30 which didn't work (it kept crashing on me). I then updated it to 2.46 but then the phone stopped booting. I was just about to create a thread to ask for help but then I saw this, haha.
Edit: Would downloading a Nandroid restore from guru's stock nandroid backups work? (can't post link) I've downloaded the TWRP ROGER001 backup, extracted all the files into a folder in TWRP (which is visible to "Restore" on TWRP) but I'm not sure whether I should do it.

because the IMEI is a unique number identifying your phone, each phone have its own unique IMEI number. Lets say you loose your phone, you will call your carrier to declare your phone lost/stolen, they will blacklist your IMEI number so the phone can't be activated anymore on any GSM network.
Also your IMEI number could be used with other information like your sim card number / serial to clone your phone.
Its like sharing your social security number

Not sure I understand your question. What do you mean by version? My "getvar all" information is actually exactly the same as OP.
The nandroid backup that I downloaded was "M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID ROGER001 3.22.631.1". Hope that helps.

So you just created a mismatch between your software version and your firmware version.
Your software is now 3.22.631.1 and your firmware is 7.17.631.7, you want the firmware and software to be the same version hence why OP shouldn't do the same.
There is already a 7.17.631.7 ruu posted in the general section, use this instead and then root your phone using supersu 2.46
So if you are s-on, you will need to re-lock the bootloader first, flash the 7.17.631.7 ruu, unlock the bootloader, flash twrp and root.

The ruu is here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
relock your bootloader (only if the phone is s-on)
flash the ruu
unlock your bootloader again
flash your custom recovery
flash supersu 2.46
btw if you are using a recent twrp recovery like 2.8+ it should already have the latest supersu included so you don't need to flash supersu 2.46 manually, just enter twrp then exist, you'll prompted to root, select "yes" and the phone will reboot and be rooted.

no.

You need to use htc_fastboot.exe which is provided in that thread and no longer need to flash twice. After doing "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" the ruu will flash the pre-update, reboot itself in ruu mode and continue the second flash automatically.

Is there an advantage of using the htc-fastboot other than not having to hit it twice? Because then I can just use the one I have been previously that does work on Linux.
If you google "htc one root linux", the first link from htconeroot is the tutorial I was following. He had shared fastboot/adb files that work on linux and those are the ones I am using.

the normal fastboot won't work to flash 7.xx.xxx.x ruu, you must use htc's version of fastboot which is only available in .exe. the "normal" fastboot from google can't handle the file size of new 7.xx.xxx.x RUUs.

If you flash the revolution stock it will become unrooted, but you can re-root afterwards. To flash it you can put the zip on your internal storage (/sdcard) and then boot to recovery. I assume you have either TWRP or CWM installed? From there you can install the stock ROM.
I have a Three HTC One too and am running the GPE Revolution ROM without any issues. Are the updates you are trying to install for the ROM or for apps?
I cant remember which one it was i think it was TWP? How do i find out? I was getting a software update, thats why i want to go back to unrooted. So if i use flashify and the ROM it should work?
Do i only put the odexed zip file onto the storage? What about the recovery img file?

From the top of the ARHD post:
With odexed version you can download and flash OTA from HTC (you need stock boot.img and recovery.img as well)

So if you want to receive over the air updates (OTA) you need the recovery and boot. I don't know where you get the boot from, but I am sure you can find it if you look for it.
Here's some info on how to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45432325&postcount=2
It's probably just a software update for the ROM that's failing. Go back to stock if you want, but you might want to try ARHD which works really well, and is a very popular, near stock ROM.

All that stuff won't work for you, you are on H3G__001 (2.24.771.3), the .401. roms wont get you any OTAs.

To answer you quickly: no, same procedure won't work, yours is going to be a bit longer and slightly tougher, but you have S-Off, so it's doable.
Just to confirm, you want to go back to original Three UK (CID H3G__001) Sense 5 based ROM? If so you'll have to give me a bit of time to write things up for you.
Out of curiosity: why would you want to go back to stock

First off: the below procedure is going to wipe everything off your phone, so backup anything you need to your PC!!
Step 1: go back to Sense 5 Stock
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 (two underscores)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> and confirm CID is HTC__001
Run the following RUU, to downgrade to stock Sense 5: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
This will completely return you to 100% stock Sense 5, but European unbranded version.
Step 2: go back to H3G__001
fastboot oem writecid H3G__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> and confirm CID is back to H3G__001
Step 3: restore H3G nandroid
download CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img
you should now be in CWM recovery.
download this nandroid: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-h3g__001-1-28-771-x-2013-04-09-zip/
extract the zip on your PC, it will give you a folder called "2013-04-20.21.00.00" place it in your adb folder then push it:
adb push 2013-04-20.21.00.00 /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/2013-04-20.21.00.00
in recovery select RESTORE, it should show you the above backup, so select "2013-04-20.21.00.00" and restore it.
You still need to get the preloaded stock apps (which get deleted when unlocking using HTCdec), so download this:
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=one-1.28.401.7-preloaded-modaco-withoutmovie.zip
adb push one-1.28.401.7-preloaded-modaco-withoutmovie.zip /data/media/
in recovery, select "install zip" -> "choose zip" -> and install the above file
Step 4: get back stock recovery
the above nandroid may or may not contain stock recovery, but I doubt it does, so get this: http://d-h.st/uGM
now let's reboot to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery 1.28.401.7.img (closest one to your version)
fastboot erase cache
Step 5: let's get rid of TAMPERED (if it's there) and set you back to LOCKED (not relocked)
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img
download this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_bootloader_reset_1-0-zip/
adb push Guru_Bootloader_Reset_1.0 /data/media/
in recovery, "install zip" -> "choose zip" -> and select "Guru_Bootloader_Reset_1.0"
go through the installer and select "Remove TAMPERED" and "LOCK Bootloader"; once finished, and since you're still in CWM, go ahead and:
-> "wipe cache"
-> "advanced" -> "wipe dalvik"
then
adb reboot bootloader
and confirm no TAMPERED and LOCKED status
Step 6: get your 1st OTA
finally (almost) to confirm everything is back to 100% stock, reboot your phone, and set up only basic stuff such as WiFi, check for software update and download & install the 1st one only!
Since recovery is not exactly your version, you may need to reboot your phone manually if it doesnt by itself: the progress bar stopped somewhere in the middle -> press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN, when it reboots keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to stock recovery and let it finish it's business; repeat if it gets stuck again
After finishing the OTA, boot up your ROM, and check you Settings->About to confirm you new version, then reboot to bootloader and do a fastboot getvar all, and confirm firmware and hboot are also updated
Step 7: if YOU decide to go S-On
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
reboot 3 times and make sure it doesnt say "tamper detected - rebooting" and then shows TAMPERED again
as far as I know, this was introduced in hboot 1.55
I really think I should start a universal guide, hmmm
EDIT: I'm sleepy so I hope I didnt forget anything!!

Hit the thanks button if I've helped
I have been at this for a couple of days, and have had no luck. So here I am posting for help.
I need to revert a HTC One m7 Sprint to stock for my cousin who bought the phone rooted on swappa. She wants it stock so she can get OTA updates. By stock I mean no tampered flag, no unlocked flag and OTA updates, stock rom and recovery. And I'm having trouble doing so, I have no experience with anything other than Nexus devices.
Current status:
1) Flashed this (Sprint-ONE-3.04.651.2-De-Odex.zip) to the phone using CWM
2) Relocked bootloader (I relocked bootloader so I can use official ROM update utility tool to install (Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_3_04_651_2_RUU)) on phone.
3) Phone won't boot into ROM (can't get past bootloader)
4) Now phone won't even boot into recovery

I'm guessing that because S=ON it's checking signature of recovery and failing because recovery isn't stock. If this was a nexus I could just flash the official recovery.img but alas it's not, so I don't know where to turn.
Please tell me how to best proceed.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Can you post the out put of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Please edit out serial + imei before posting thanks.
You will need s-off to go back to stock 100% with LOCKED bootloader, but if you just want ota's that's possible with s-on you just need Stock recovery and Rom. But best you'll get the bootloader is RELOCKED with s-on.
Also it won't boot custom software when relocked. That's why your recovery and Rom won't boot

Unlock your bootloader, and use CWM to install this Rom. In Aroma installer choose YES to Stock Recovery and Radio. NO to Root.
Reboot the phone to take ota's after you've updated relock the bootloader .
I notice the version main is missing from your getvar also. Installing the ota's may fix it but I should be able to help you with that before you do anything else. It will require the bootloader to be relocked so better to do it now if you want to.
---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------
Actually it would be better to unlock, flash the Rom first then relock and flash the firmware to restore the version main.
Then reboot and your done
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/651/
You can get the firmware here. Download it and rename the file to firmware.zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Then after unlocking and flashing the reset.zip. relock and flash the firmware.
Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
< --- case sensitive.
The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You should now see your new firmware version main in the bootloader and getvar. And that's it reboot and take ota's.

The reset zip will restore your stock Rom and recovery and Radio. But you have to Install it with a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. Which requires the bootloader to be unlocked. Once it's installed you can take ota updates. The bootloader does not need to be locked for ota's.
Then you can relock and flash the firmware.zip which will restore your version main information. Which is missing. Caused by a recovery bug that wipes that info from the misc partition. Installing the ota updates may fix it. Or you can manually flash the firmware to fix it before you take the ota updates. :good:

Oh sorry when you said reset.zip I thought it was something totally new but you were referring to "Guru_Reset_M7_Sprint_3.04.651.2.zip". My bad.
So I followed the steps above including flashing firmware.zip. Now fastboot getvar all shows main having a version. Currently apps are being downloaded, and I will try to install the ota update after they are all done. And there is stock recovery, I confirmed by launching into recovery from fastboot after flashing "Guru_Reset_M7_Sprint_3.04.651.2.zip" in CWM, and the orange triangle with exclamation point showed up.
Thank you for helping me out!
Also one last thing, to clean everything up, how do I reset the tampered flag? And so it shows locked instead of relocked?
EDIT: First OTA was successful!

You will have to downgrade the phone again yes. And s-off is not so easy to accomplish. Unless you pay $25 for Sunshine app.
If you wanted to return it for warranty or sell the device as un-tampered stock. You can use firewater for or rumrunner to s-off both methods are free exploits but are not so simple to get them to work you will need to unlock flash a custom recovery make a nandroid of the stock rom, then root the device again. Probably need to flash a few different roms + Kernels to find something that works.
There's the possibility that neither will work and your only choice then would be Sunshine.
If there's no warranty and your friend just wants stock with ota updates I would just leave it as relocked unless your prepared to put the work in

I'm not sure about the warranty, but I will leave it as is since it sounds like a headache and I really want to get back to my phone, and flash the new android 5.0 preview to my Nexus

I recently set my phone back to stock with the latest RUU I could find from Rogers. Now I am trying to perform the system updates, and when the system goes to install them, it restarts back to recovery. I have found the file in my downloads folder but I didnt want to install it without a little insight first.

So i'm going to assume your device is s-off, please do correct me on that if i'm wrong Do you still have the stock recovery? or did you flash TWRP or CWM after using the RUU?
You cannot install OTA's with a custom recovery it must be the Stock Recovery :good:
Yes it s-off and yea it is twrp. Do i have to download the stock recovery from somewhere?

Well I think it will be this 4.19.631.9 as that's the latest RUU for Rogers but I can't find the Stock Recovery anywhere.

The RUU flash both the software and firmware of your phone. The recovery is part of the firmware so yes re-flashing the ruu will overwrite the custom recovery with the stock one.
Its not common to flash a ruu to restore the stock recovery but in this case it might be the easiest solution since you already have the ruu on your computer and you already know how to flash it.

Exactly what I was thinking. Luckily I have not done anything to the phone since I flashed the RUU last week (trying to sell it). I just want to make sure it is able to receive OTA updates after I sell it so this should fix that issue.
One last question, I know it is not always wise, but I have heard people having issues turning the s-on with hboot 1.56, and that's what I would like to do so that the phone would be out of the box stock when I goto sell it. Is it possible ?

Yep looks like that's the best solution. There is no stand alone recovery download for your version-main. Just flash the RUU and take the OTA's before you flash the custom recovery again :good:
Hi guys.
I really trust xda forums and that's why I come here whenever I need help. You always save the day guys and I want to thank you for that.
So a while ago I've unlocked the boot loader, flashed cwm recovery via fast boot and rooted my device. I'm still on a stock Rom though.
Now I want to upgrade to lollipop manually, my plan is to download the official Rom from HTC's website connect my device to the pc with a usb cable then install it on my phone.. From what I understand I should flash back the stock recovery then relock the boot loader and restore the contents of a folder (i don't remember what folder though). Where can I find the stock Rom img file I should flash? (And the folder contents that i'm supposed to restore) also if I relock the boot loader will the upgrade proceed if it still shows "tampered"?
Please guys help what am I supposed to do before upgrading??

You need to restore the preload data. This gets wiped when you unlock the bootloader and it will cause the OTA to fail. Relocking isn't necessary for installing ota's you just need Stock Rom and Recovery. A GuruReset is usually the way to go.
If your talking about flashing the RUU then you will need to relock the bootloader if your s-on but that's it. Missing preload data, rooted rom's and custom recovery will not effect the RUU install. It will just flash stock over the top of it all. Your phone will be wiped though so backup any data you want to keep. :good:

Ok thanks you don't need to worry about an RUU because there isn't one for your Device.
Do you know how to use a nandroid backup? There is a Stock TWRP nandroid and the recovery you need in this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/backup-100-stock-6-09-401-111-twrp-t2992871 :good: you can use this to restore your Device back so you can get OTA updates

I have cwm recovery on my phone, can I use it to flash the nanodroid backup? or do I have to flash twrp recovery?
and after flashing the nanodroid backup I just have to flash the stock recovery and then upgrade?
which one is the nanodroid backup I need to flash? is it this one:
" TWRP Backup: https://yadi.sk/d/rQzZ9i0CdmstQ "
or this:
"6.09.401.111 Firmware with Hboot 1.57.000 https://yadi.sk/d/n7BAQ8vpdqPSS "
??
and do I need to worry about the radio file in your link?
thanxx for your help man!
Sorry for bothering you too much but I've been thinking, wouldn't it be easier to restore the preloaded data instead of downloading and flashing the backup? Is that possible??
Thanx man

If you can find a download for just the preload data then yes that would be easier. I'll see if I can find something.
Otherwise you want the TWRP backup from that thread and you will need to flash TWRP recovery to restore it. And just to clarify you can't flash the nandroid backup like a normal Rom. You will need to unzip it and copy the folder in to your TWRP backups folder then use the restore option in twrp
The radio file is not such a big issue it will be the same radio you already have anyway.

Preload data this is the closest I can find. It may or may not work so try at your own risk.
http://goo.gl/XvLuE0
This is the preload data from 6.09.401.12 which is the lte version of your Device. The preload data may well be the same as the only difference is that 1 device has lte enabled and the other (your Device does not) :good:

If you can find a download for just the preload data then yes that would be easier. I'll see if I can find something.
Otherwise you want the TWRP backup from that thread and you will need to flash TWRP recovery to restore it. And just to clarify you can't flash the nandroid backup like a normal Rom. You will need to unzip it and copy the folder in to your TWRP backups folder then use the restore option in twrp
The radio file is not such a big issue it will be the same radio you already have anyway.

Preload data this is the closest I can find. It may or may not work so try at your own risk.

There is no data / preload folder in the backup either, are you sure you need it for this particular device ?
you can download the TWRP backup and extract it then open each individual file, like the system file with winrar, like ive done, this is the system folder from the backup, (see pict below)

so this backup won't allow me to restore the preload contents? is there anyway to restore it? or should I forget about ota updates?

no this backup doesnt appear to contain the data/preload contents, but thats why I said have you tried to update ?, is the update available to you yet ? maybe the M7_U is different to the UL and doesnt require this folder, or you could try as Danny stated earlier and use the UL ones he linked you too. :good:

I want to update manually by downloading the update file from HTC's website and then following these instructions to upgrade:
Performing the ROM Update:
1. Download and save the HTC One™ ROM update to your PC.
2. Connect your device to your PC via the supplied USB cable.
3. If the device is not recognized by the PC, ensure you have HTC Sync Manager installed and then disconnect and reconnect the device from the USB cable.
4. Once the device is properly recognized on the PC, locate the HTC One™ ROM update that you downloaded. Double-click on the file to launch the system update wizard.
5. Follow all of the system update wizard instructions shown on your PC.
6. Once the update is complete, click Finish in the Wizard and the device will reboot.
7. Once the device reboots, the initial setup wizard will appear.
8. Once the initial setup process is complete, the device is ready for use.
I found them here.
Danny said that manually restoring the contents might not work.. if I restore them and then try upgrading can it brick the phone? and how can I restore them anyway?

Not too sure about restoring the contents manually, I have done it myself before, but on a different HTC One SV a couple of years ago in order to update, but I did have a hell of a game doing it, even came down to creating the data and preload folders in system on my phone myself andf setting the correct premissions and then placing each file in there manually, I really wouldnt like to say if it would work for your device or not.
On a different note, which update files have you found, could you supply a link please, and I thought you had to be s-off to manually update regardless ?

no you don't need to s-off cause you'll be updating using HTC sync manager.
here's a link:

let's say I'm considering flashing maximushd Rom, I have flashed twrp recovery 2.8.4.0, now I just have to do a full wipe using it and then flash the Rom?

There is no lollipop update on that page for your phone, only the dev edition M7, but yes to MHD Rom, and if you get s-off you can flash the matching firmware too.

No flashing the firmware isn't required, although it's recommended, you should be ok just to flash the Rom, it's just the same as flashing a custom Rom.
As for unlocked its a different type of unlocked, confusing I know, yours is just network unlocked, that ruu / ota is dev edition, unlocked bootloader and s-off unlocked from the factory, have a look at the version number, the 3rd set of digits is what matters, that's 1540 dev, your output on page 1 states 401 international edition.

thanks for explaining that man you're amazing you saved me a lot of time.. I guess I'll download and flash mhd though I gotta ask, why is flashing the firmware recommended?
and is mhd a good Rom in your opinion?
Anyway I made a full nanodroid backup using twrp so that I can roll back if I don't like the results.. that'll work right?

Nandroid is always recommended and a good idea, I use mhd myself, they are all very much the same at the moment to be honest, the differences between them are very minimal, and matching firmware to the Rom version is always recommended to save a potential problems.
---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------
Just to add, when the official SIGNED - (that's important) 401 firmware comes out and is available you will be able to flash that, at the moment it's unsigned and will brick your phone. You'll just need to relock your boot loader first as your s-on, then flash it like any other firmware, then re-unlock your bootloader and reflash a custom recovery.

I hear you, abd I won't need to restore the preload contents that got quoted when I unlocked the boot loader?
Hello, so I rooted my phone successfully. But when I installed SuperSU the program didnt seem to work, so I replaced it with with a newer version on SuperSU.
Somewhere along those lines I managed to bootloop my HTC.
I have tried EVERYTHING to get my phone going. With little progress.
I am currently trying to reflash the stock ROM onto my phone using adb push, and adb sideload with both TWRP and CWM, but it keeps saying that it failed or its bad when I try to install it through recovery... i've tried 3 different RUU downloads.
What am I doing wrong?? Please help!

Had a similiar issue a day ago.
What happened was I put a old version of supersu on my phone that didnt work with the firmware I had so it bootlooped.
I had to update my SuperSu version and it worked. If you are running a newer firmware make sure SuperSu is the most current version (2.46)
If not try flashing 2.46 and see what happens.

I have never even thought of that!!
So I don't have to flash a new ROM like ive been trying to do this whole time?
I know I put an updated SuperSU on there, and accidentally left the old version on there too... I had already done a factory reset and all... does that matter ??
[EDIT] Can you run me through the steps to do this properly? I really don't want to screw up again lol

Like you I did factory reset which did nothing
All you have to do is place the zip with the newest version of SuperSu on your device.
Then using twrp or whatever recovery you have flash it on their
Phone will reboot and it should be working
Not sure if this will help or not but I made sure to update my twrp to latest as well

Good to hear :good: For the record I believe your original problem was most likely your recovery version.
TWRP is definitely better for the M7 than cwm. But newer versions of TWRP tend to be a little buggy. If in doubt always flash roms with the recovery recommended in the roms main thread.
TWRP 2.6.3.3 has always been the most stable version
