[Q] Back to scratch ! Help.

Hi People,
Since there is the impossibility to go S-OFF with hboot 1.54.0000 can someone guide me on how can I revert back to stock my ONE ?
I went through the process of unlocking bootloader @ htcdev and then root, flash TWRP and until the moment the only thing I could do is flash some custom roms, but even that does not bring my phone up to date because the OS never changes, as you all can see in the screen attached.
What I would like to do now is get back to stock so I could receive OTA updates from my carrier.
Thanks in advance.

of course you can go back to stock with s-on and you'll most probably keep your warranty. read first before you answer please...
here is a guide with several options: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
just go back to stock as much as possible for you and you're fine. flash stock rom, stock recovery and relock bootloader ("fastboot oem lock"). :good:

Thank you so much, just followed your procedure and now I only have two more questions.
1 - If possible how do I remove the tampered flag ?
2 - Will I receive further updates automatically ? and from whom, HTC or my carrier ?
Thank you one more.

no, to remove tampered flag you'd need s-off, but this should not matter even in case of warranty.
with everything reverted back to stock you'll be able to recieve official OTA updates from your region again

[Q] OTA Update After Root

I am planning on unlocking and rooting my Canadian HTC One Silver on Rogers, right now actually, but I am just curious, 4.3 is supposed to be out for me sometime this weekend, maybe even tonight or tomorrow, so is it worth rooting atm or should I wait for 4.3 then wait for a root method or whatever I have to do, I am new to android and to rooting but I have been researching it for ages while I was stuck with BB7...
So, if this is not something to worry about or you think I should just go for it, is anyone willing to help me root over skype or TV or whatever, I am still confused and could use some... live help. I have a good mic and I am a good listener so it shouldn't be an issue.

Wait the Update and unlock the phone after
Because, if you want do the OTA after the unlocking, you have to revert back to lock and install it
I think is better do all after the OTA

Was wondering the same actually...
I have unlucked my One, flashed TWRP recovery, made a backup of the stock rom and flashed a custom rom.
If I'd want to get the official stock update (if I understand correctly that's the only way to also flash firmware if you are S-ON with hboot 1.54?) the process would be:
* Restore the stock rom backup
* Flash stock recovery
Am I missing something?

Relock the bootloader after the points you writed
The command is:
Code:
fastboot oem lock

Great! And can I unlock afterwards again using the same way I did before using the same file from htc-dev?
Cheers

Yes, but if you will get the new update with the new hboot, is better unlock with a new code

I understand, still have to wait till the update actually comes available but it's always good to be prepared Thanks again!

[Q] I really did it now....

I was trying to flash a new ROM (Viper One) and followed the instructions to update the firmware. I got as far as getting into the fastboot and relocking the device so I could update the firmware to the latest version (per the instructions). I tried to no avail to unlock the bootloader and came across a thread saying I need to have a stock kernel to unlock the bootloader again. What I didnt count on was that the previous custom kernel was still loaded on the device even though I did a factory reset (again per instructions). I have searched for a stock 4.3 kernel but cant find one so I can finish this.
Ideas?
Thanks so much, in advance!

Thanks!
I was able to get my phone back to where it was before (viperOne ROM thats running v 4.1.2 and Sense 5.0). I am trying to get this back to stock before I take to Sprint to replace the phone for the purple camera bug.
I guess what Im looking for is the stock kernel for v4.1.2 so I can then flash it and take it in. The one you had linked to was for v4.4.x and will not work.
Thanks in advance!

Since, I don't know which version you are looking for you can pull the kernel out of the firmware for that version. You can check this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576995 or this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910.

CyanogenMod Problem

I flashed my phone with CyanogenMod13, completely not knowing what I was doing. I realized there were a few bugs on CM13 like my camera not working and things like that so I want to go back to stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 so I can have FOTA and a fully functioning phone. I know it was pretty silly of me to actually attempt this without consideration but could anyone help me out on getting back?
I have a Z5 Compact E5823.
Thanks.

Just download flashtool, stock firmware and flash it
btw. It's Xperia Z section, not Z5

Thanks man, sorry about the wrong section.
Will I be able to flash stock rom and receive OTA updates? My bootloader is currently unlocked.
I have already tried flashing before and I am getting random errors each time, with all drivers downloaded properly.
I flashed it with Emma last night and it took me to 5.1.1, and I cant receive any updates, so what am I doing wrong?
I want to go back to stock rom with OTA updates, although CyanogenMod13 was great.

Nope, OTA not working on unlocked bootloader, this can brick your phone

How can I lock my bootloader? Or do you think its recommended I keep the bootloader unlocked?
I just wanted to go back to stock rom for OTA updates thats all.
Many thanks.

Do you have TA partition backup? If no, it's not posible to relock bootloader

I don't even know what that is lol. I should've done research in advance before proceeding to unlock my bootloader. I did make a backup of everything though, I used a tutorial, I used TWRP to backup stuff, or something like that?
Also, is there no way to receive OTA updates now that my bootloader is unlocked? Will flashing stock rom not allow me to receive OTA updates?
Thanks for your ongoing support btw, really stressing me out lol.

Reverto to stock after root and custom Rom

Hi all. I would like to revert the phone to stock after root and custom rom. Ther's a guide? I can't find anything on the forum. Thanks at all.

I think you just flash the stock firmware over what you have.

Thank's! So, no warry bout unlocked bootloader?

You might want to relock it first, but I don't think it matters. I am not sure though. Just basing this off my time with the S3 and S4 back in the day. With those phones it didn't matter. The S10 line are newer so it might with them.

I presume you want the boot screens to revert to normal without the Bootloader Unlocked warning screen.
If so, see my post HERE

I am on lineage os (Ivan_Meler) not rooted
under the developer there is no OEM option showing. My bootloader is unlocked, recovery is TWRP.
how can i goo back to stock ?

Just to be sure: Before I flash a custom firmware on a S10(+,e) like lineage, there is nothing to back up like DRM keys or certificates? (I had SONY phones before. If you reverted to stock on those some SONY apps would not work anymore if you did not backup the DRM keys).

Hello guys,
Similar question what is the procedure when I want S10e with flashed custom rom (TWRP Recovery), rooted and unlocked bootloader to return to stock firmware?
