I put stock back on my phone "Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.771.3.zip" which I have done before without any problem.
Stock rom flashed fine, boots up fine and start reinstalling apps etc, OTA firmware starts downloading sense 5.5 etc
Install OTA update and then restart then phone just shows white background with htc logo then bootloops.
Tried going into recovery, restarting, power down, factory reset etc, doesn't work so I do fastboot oem relock to see if it helps.
So basically it's boot looping and now I have no idea how to fix it
EDIT: - I Wiped, reinstalled stock rom and tried again, SAME PROBLEM.

Hey guys I'll try and keep it short and sweet.
So here's what happened.
I installed android revolution HD 71.1 no problems, notice mobile signal is weak 1-2 bars I normally have 4-5 so I searched and someone said maybe firmware is not up to date.
So I wipe the rom and put stock back on there "Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.771.3.zip" which I have done before without any problem.

If you can flash and access custom recovery, adb push or adb sideload a custom rom..
thanks, I'm making progress, I unlocked the bootloader again and am reflashing the stock firmware...
I flashed stock firmware and stock recovery and downloaded and installed the OTA update and it's doing the same thing!! why?
Just bootlooping

Links to stock firmware and stock recovery?
Maybe something is wrong with the phone??
Your best start will be to flash a custom recovery and then flash a custom rom. What is the output of your fastboot getvar all ? (remove IMEI)

He is using this correct ?: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-771-3-zip/
He is having exactly the same problem as someone I was trying to help out who is having exactly the same issue and may join in this thread.
The guru reset puts them on 4.2.2 which works fine then they get a small OTA which installs fine, then a big update to 4.3 which installs, but upon restart for some reason gives a boot loop, doesn't get past the HTC quietly brilliant logo, im at a loss.

Yes... You have 1.57 HBOOT.. you should NOT be using 2.x.771.x files. It does NOT gel well.
You have to stick with custom roms, just use adb push or adb sideload..

Well you could try flashing twrp 2.6.3.3 and then flash that ROM your interested in, but it could make things worse, you have a very strange problem, I would love to know why custom rom's work and the guru-reset file, but the OTA's pretty much kill your phone.

Okay, well I don't know a lot about all this stuff, for example I don't know what HBOOT is, S-OFF/ON etc, I just look for ROMs I'm interested in, optimizing my phone, I just read guides and 99% of the time I don't have a problem.
Do you think my problem would go away if I had HBOOT 1.55? Is it even possible to downgrade?
I'll just flash the ROM I mentioned...but doesn't that mean I won't be able to get OTA updates? (because of the nonstock recovery)
IDFK
Don't know why your HBOOT is 1:57 while your device is not OTA to Sense 6.0. Certainly you can't downgrage HBOOT to 1:55 without S-OFF. You should flash TWRP 2.6.3.3, then adb sileload a custom rom to install
I just wiped and put android revolution hd 71.1 on there and it seems fine now, the other stock rom I mentioned earlier I flashed and I kept getting errors "unfortunately updater has stopped working" every 3 minutes.
I had a go at S-OFF with rumrunner but it didn't work on two ROMs, someone said to try it on linux as it's more reliable, any suggestions for how I can easily S-OFF? thanks :good:
I keep getting a system update message but every time I try to update it just fails.
Is there a way I can update?

Can I go back to stock using a Windows 8.1 machine? I just checked the guide in your signature and it says use Windows 7. Or is there a Rom for 4.4.3 I can flash? I cannot find anything using Google.

if you want to go back to stock, better to use a windows 7. linux or macos computer not win 8,1. There is many 4.4.3 roms availabe. look in the android development section of this forum. You could try arhd 71.1

I just can't seem to find a stock Rom. I'm happy with the HTC stock Rom the only reason I rooted was to try some HTC one m8 features that could be installed on a rooted m7 phone. I never managed to even try it. Bit stuck because I don't have win 7 , Linux or a Mac os.
Is there nothing I can do at all other than use custom roms? I apologise if I'm being a bit stupid.

I think I am just going to leave it. There's no point using ARHD as it is the same 4.4.2 that I have. I only wanted to do the stock update to 4.4.3.

Thanks. I've looked into it and I have Windows 8.1 and the ruu has known issues with 8.1
Dude just download stock recovery and flash it using fastboot mode...then download ota and let it upgrade...and if u have bootloader 1.5x then there will be no problem in flashing stock recovery in fastboot mode with win 8.1..just flash stock recovery not the whole ruu

That's exactly what I did.
if you want an HTC OTA update: unroot, stock recovery, stock ROM, S-On
you still recieve an OTA update, download it, but you can't flash it to your current ROM. this is happen if you flash a GPE ROM too.
the other custom ROM let you have an OTA update, download it, and flash it. but remember, the OTA is custom ROM updated version from the ROM developer. that's not from HTC

S-ON and root has nooting to do with OTA updates. Only stock recovery and unmodified /system and /data/preload files matters.
@real slim shady @abhishek0704
Even if the OP flash the stock recovery back, there are high chances he will not be able to install the ota update due to /data/preload being wiped when unlocking bootloader. Flashing stock recovery takes like 1 minute to do, so yes it worth a try, bt don't be surprised if the ota install fail.
Sorry for hijacking post but i've got the same problem.
I flashed stock recovery onto my rooted htc one m7 which also had TWRP recovery.
Boots up normally, downloaded the OTA but it fails to install when it reaches middle of the install bar.
What should I do to get back to complete stock rom and be able to install OTA's?
edit: Also when i try to get into stock recovery menu it writes "can not mount SD Card. ( No such file or directory)" and "I:Write host_mode:0 done" but somehow it loads recovery menu but if i choose some option it restarts the phone.

to get over the air update your phone must be stock never unlocked. you can RUU back to stock if theirs a RUU for your phone or you can install stock recovery and the missing files from unlocking the bootloader.
Most times it's much easier to just use TWRP and flash the latest stock rooted rom and not worry about OTA updates
This is where you are now

Where can you get the missing files which are deleted when unlocking the device?
I would like to get the htc back to complete stock, no root and etc. Rooted it month ago and still haven't used any root-required apps.

Hello, as title says, I need help with going back to stock. I bought this phone super cheap (120€) from some german guy. It works like a charm, but my native language is nowhere so I decided to root and use morelocale2. But when I root I can't update. I already relocked bootloader.
Now I need to pick up right (RUU?), but I just can't understand it.
Radio-4T.27.3218.14
HBOOT-1.57.0000
OS-5.11.401.10
I wondered if I can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753631 , but it's called firmware so i don't know if it's ota or ruu, or i need to use that stock firmware downwards or am I completely wrong?
Thanks for all responses, cheers
There is no RUU available for your phone version If your phone is S Off then you can flash 4.19.401.9 RUU
If not then you have to restore nandroid backup or flash stock Rom reset according to your software version

You should be able to download the OTA from the phone. However, you may have some missing files that the OTA will be looking to update. In the post where you got the ROM towards the bottom is a preload file zip. If you need them this is where you can get them to complete the update.

I don't think I'm missing some files. I didn't install the aroma zip with TWRP, I installed them with CWM. Successful. But when I tried to install software update, my phone reset, I didn't watch the installation, but when phone booted, it had setup screen on it. I'm currently downloading a 4.4.3 OTA so we'll see.
EDIT: Downloaded OTA, put in sdcard, trying to boot into recovery, phone automatically boot to ota install, instead of green, it's red and after a while back to android. Im hopeless guys, I think i'll live with 4.2.2 and let someone more experienced and more skilled let this do.

you can not apply ota manually from stock recovery with s-on. go in settings --> about --> software update
First time you did, your phone performed a factory reset right? This happen sometimes when re-installing stock recovery. just apply the ota again from settings --> about --> software updates.
then if you get a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside, hold vol+ and press power then release both and you should see some text in yellow. post the text if it fail.

so since you can get to custom recovery, first fix your misc partition as mentioned in the first post
since you're S-ON, unfortunately there is no RUU for you. can you post a screenshot of your bootloader please, i'm interested in the date
can you explain what you flashed to get in this situation, with link to thread please
and you wanna stick with this thread, or the other one?
Thanks for the response.

Basically what I was trying to do was get s-off, so I installed various different roms such as cm11 and older versions of sense to help with the process because some didn't work. After a few attempts I got the cmd error and couldn't get into recovery. I followed the steps in your thread and managed to get back into recovery.

yes, that would be the first step
after that, (before messing around with firmware), install a radio from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
i know they're not the latest (dont have any links handy atm), but install one of them in custom recovery, and see if baseband comes back

yes you can, just put it on your phone (or adb push or adb sideload), those are flashable zip's in custom recovery (just as if you're flashing a ROM)
but fix your misc partition first

Thanks for your help, will try now.
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.

Just tried this; it did work and I've been reverted to Android 4.3 but my phone actually boots.
Edit: Whoops. Turns out this is a bad idea.

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.

Sorry, but I just don't happen to see it.
Nevermind; it seems to be available on htcdev. I hope that is okay to use.

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.

Stupid question but to flash it, do I do the following:
reboot oem
fastboot flash zip *nameofruu* (twice if need be)
fastboot reboot-reloader

no.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot reboot
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.

well a .exe is for Windows. maybe it can work if you use Wine + cmd.exe + htc_fastboot.exe ? Never tried.....

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.
