HTC One M7 Resetting to Stock Recovery (for OTA Update)

So I've got two questions really. The end goal is essentially to rid myself of the OTA Update notification (which prompts me to update every 4 hours). If anyone knows how to get rid of this permanently then that's problem solved, but I've tried everything that other people have suggested relating to disabling notifications and certain parts of System App functionality etc without success. Alternatively I was thinking I could reset to stock recovery, do the update, then re-root and re-install CWM. Can anyone tell me if this file will work for me? Link to file below, as are my system details

No, Do not install OTA updates with the 2.24.841.1 you will softbrick your device. You need a Stock rom that matches your current 6.11.841.7 firmware or is only one version lower e.g 5.xx.841.x to safely take OTA updates. With the 2.24.842.11 rom if you install OTA's the first OTA you receive will be 3.xx.841.x and will try to downgrade your firmware, which is not possible with s-on. The OTA will fail and you'll be stuck in a bootloop. Normally this is not irreversible but has in some cases caused permanent damage to the memory chip.
If you are wanting to return to 100% Stock to reinstate your warranty you need s-off. It's the only way to downgrade your firmware and set your bootloader back to ***LOCKED*** as apposed to ***RELOCKED***. :good:

So, to summarise, I need a stock recovery matching my CID Telst001 and MID AND with firmware 5.xx.841.xx or 6.xx.841.xx? Right, sounds like a tall order. Any ideas for any ways to just suppress the notification?
PS I don't really need to restore it for warranty, only thing wrong with it as it is is the notification for the OTA update which won't leave me alone
Thanks for the reply

Flash a Stock based custom Rom. Such as ARHD or Maximus HD that will get rid of the notification.
I see you already posted in the Australian Users thread hopefully someone there can share a suitable stock nandroid. You can use :good:

First time custom rom

Alright so I have been wanting to change my htc one (802w/dual sim) from android 5.0.2, back to 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 though I want a full stock/htc like software of the android version.
I found some here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617159
I've got a few questions though as I am a bit afraid I might harm my phone (saw some posts that some phones might break down and not function again..)
First thing about the RUU and firmware, I figured some stuff but please correct me if I'm wrong:
I will be downloading Android 4.2.2 RUU version: 2.19.401.1 - then OTA update version: 2.41.401.1-2.19.401.1 (should be still android 4.2.2 according to the collection thread)
And to be able to get to android 4.4.2 (might not need 4.4.3) I will download OTA 4.21.401.5-2.41.401.1
Well, is there anything wrong with the OTA versions or RUU?
Also, when I get to Android 4.2.2, can I just mainly check for updates over "Software updates" and will I get the updates from HTC? Or they will prevent it as I installed a *custom* rom?
And for the main thing, please link me any tutorial or guide (in-depth will be appreciated.. would like to know what I'm doing) to install the rom and any other files if needed.
Sorry for the long post, have a good day!
Regards,
Matt.

You can't do what you said above. x.xx.401.x RUU is not for your cid (HTC__J15). You can only flash RUU that are designed for your CID and MID and since your phone is S-ON, you can't downgrade using a RUU. You'll either need to S-OFF the phone so you can flash an old M7CDUG x.xx.402.x RUU or use old costom roms.

I did some searching and I found this RUU
Code:

(I can't send outside links)
According to the site it's for CID HTC_J15 and modelid PN0710000
Does it mean I can flash it even though it's x.xx.401.x? Also if I can, can you please send a guide about how to S-OFF the phone?
Thanks again.

No you can't, this RUU is simply not for your phone, not even for the same variant.
To flash a ruu on a s-on phone:
The ruu must match your CID number. Yours is HTC__J15 ---> OK
The ruu must match your MID number Yours is PN0771000 this RUU is for PN0710000 --> NO
The ruu must match the firmware base version. Yours is .402 this RUU is .401 ---> NO
The ruu must be same or newer than the current firmware version installed. Yours is 7.xx.xxx.x , this ruu is 4.xx.xxx.x so it's a downgrade, can't downgrade with s-on --> NO
The ruu must match your variant. Yours is M&CDUG --> The ruu you want to flash is for M7_UL ---> NO
The bootloader must be locked or re-locked
If only on of the above condition isn't respected, the ruu won't flash... And even if you could achieve s-off, #5 will always cause problem. You can only use RUU for M7CDUG variant

Black/White Screen and freeze boot up after OTA

Hi guys i had problem, few days ago phone notify me about update, i thought ok it nice, I restored stock recovery and I relocked bootloader in fastboot.
I clicked the install , process ran without errors. in stock recovery and BANG 3-4 first times phone stopped on boot, i tried factory reset after boot phone giving me black screen, next I tried to flash RUU's.
Before update a I had 7.19.401.22, i flashed this version - not working, flashed 7.19.401.2 - not working, flashed 7.19.401.30 - not working although it ,the same version is after update.

The ota caused a bootloop because you have installed it on a rooted phone. Unlike older updates (6.xx.xxx.x and before), you can't simply reflash the stock recovery to update. Lollipop updates can only be installed on 100% stock and non-rooted rom. That wasn't a problem in the past but its now a well know problem with all newer updates.
Your version-main is now 7.19.401.30 because, unlike the software, the firmware updated fine. You can't flash the 7.19.401.22 RUU because its now a downgrade in version (because your firmware got updated). Downgrading using a RUU requires S-OFF, your phone is S-ON. Same reason why the 7.19.401.2 won't work.
7.19.401.30 ruu is a "combined" RUU so it can't be flashed on a s-on phone.
Your option are:
unlock the bootloader, flash twrp recovery and flash a rom
or achieve s-off using sunshine and flash the .22 or the .30 ruu (you'll need to do option 1 first because you need a working rom to be able to s-off the phone)
Or maybe someone already uploaded a nandroid backup of 7.19.401.30. If you find one you can restore the backup using a custom recovery and then reflash the stock recovery.

1.What Kind of rom? Stock or custom - without s-off?
3.Do You know anyone who could upload a backup of 7.19.401.30?

1.a stock or stockish rom is best if you want to achieve s-off, You don't need s-off to flash a custom rom, only an unlocked bootloader + a custom recovery.
3. No, might want to ask in the update thread in the general section (see sticky threads)

S-OFF and downgrading M7CDUG

According to the one who posted the RUU, my CID, phone model, version match, however, I saw some posts that I need to S-OFF in order to downgrade using a RUU so I kind of need help, or a some sort of guide.
Also, is it 100% sure that the OTA will work fine with my phone? Do I need anything else to be matching to downgrade using the RUU?

First thing you need is s-off. Then you need full stock ROM with preload folder (there are some apps there which get deleted when you unlock your bootloader) and stock recovery. As long as you are s-on, you can't downgrade your firmware, but you can flash KitKat ROM on Lollipop firmware

@MattTucke
the file linked isn't a RUU but an OTA update which is useless for downgrading. You will need the 6.13.402.2 Combined RUU which is only available on ir-file.com = paid account to download (I can help you with that since I currently have an account but you'll have to wait since the download speed from this site is capped to 100kb/sec)
+
you'll need to use Sunshine S-OFF which also cost money
Like mentioned above, custom kitkat roms might be an easier and cheaper option since you doesn't need to downgrade the firmware to run a Kitkat rom. But finding a Kitkat rom for a M7CDUG might not be an easy task...

M7 Trying to get back to stock-but need a helping hand

hey guys, i am now about to sell my m7 after over 2 years
a long time ago when i unlocked the boot loader, and installed tmrp i made a backup of my stock ROM. its been on a usb pen along time now. so today i used twrp to restore it. all when well i then decided to relock the bootloader using fastboot. in my ignorance i thought this was all i would need to do. upon reboot a rom update was found 6.09.401.10. i am currently 6.09.401.5. downloaded and restarted to install the update. recovery wouldnt load. okay that from the twrp flash replacing it. so of course onto xda to find a stock recovery. i believe i found it. but now i am worried- do i need to re unlock the bootloader? will i need to get the token again? or do i need the rru.exe 6.09.401.10? what is the best way to do this as unsure what to do next? as it will need ota updates. i have added my version info below just encase its needed.

hey guys, i am now about to sell my m7 after over 2 years
a long time ago when i unlocked the boot loader, and installed tmrp i made a backup of my stock ROM. its been on a usb pen along time now. so today i used twrp to restore it. all when well i then decided to relock the bootloader using fastboot. in my ignorance i thought this was all i would need to do. upon reboot a rom update was found 6.09.401.10. i am currently 6.09.401.5. downloaded and restarted to install the update. recovery wouldnt load. okay that from the twrp flash replacing it. so of course onto xda to find a stock recovery. i believe i found it. but now i am worried- do i need to re unlock the bootloader? will i need to get the token again? or do i need the rru.exe 6.09.401.10? what is the best way to do this as unsure what to do next? as it will need ota updates. i have added my version info below just encase its needed.

To flash a recovery, even if its the stock one, the bootloader must be unlocked. Unfortunately, unlocking the bootloader requires the stock recovery....
I would keep the bootloader locked and flash the latest RUU version for this phone (7.19.401.51). Look in the general section (in the sticky threads) there is one named "Lollipop RUU collection". You'll find that RUU at post #2 and instructions how to flash at post #1. Be sure to use the fastboot version (htc_fastboot) instructed at post #1 (you can't flash a 7.xx.xxx.x ruu with the fastboot version from the android sdk tools).

This is the link to the RUU. Install the file on PC (it is a big file) and connect your phone and run it.
Should return you to stock Lollipop 5.0.2 with Sense 6.
Download the right one for your variant:

No, going from 6.xx.xxx.x to 7.xx.xxx.x isn't a downgrade.
