hi my version main is 2.24.61.1 orange uk i updated to 4.2.2 sense rom before i rooted.
i am now looking to unroot & revert back to stock & wondering do i need to find the same rom or can i go back down to 4.2.1 or an older rom?
or can i just use any UK htc one m7 stock rom to revert back to factory settings?
i also did a backup of my stock rom before i changed my rom using TWRP, could i just use that to go back to stock?

Yes, but depending on what recovery you backed up with TWRP, you might need to also flash the stock recovery.img if you're looking for that to. You might want to re-lock your boot loader also.. Depends on how 'stock' you want it to be.
In short, restoring your backup will get you back to stock ROM and unroot (if you were unrooted when you backed it up)

i was rooted when i flashed so flashing stock recovery.img will get my stock recovery back & also is the only way to remove the tampered is by doing s-off or RUU?

so you are RELOCKED and want recovery...ain't gonna happen
you have 2 choices:
locked------no recovery
unlocked----yes recovery
you can NOT have recovery while bootloader is locked

Yeah your wrong or confused. You have to be unlocked for a CUSTOM recovery. The OP is looking for stock recovery.
@OP
On one of mike's sticky posts on the one forum should have the stock recovery on it.

Hi,
I had my phone replace the camera because of the purple-tint problem, HTC upgraded my phone to HBoot 1.54 and android 4.2.2 without informing me . Anyway.
After receiving my phone, I unlocked my phone again by the official method, then I wanted to make a clean backup of my rom, so I tried to boot my phone to third party recovery image by "fastboot boot some_CWM.img", my phone just hung there. I was frustrated, if I flash the CWM.img to the phone, would I brick my phone? Before the upgrade, my phone could be booted in the same CWM image file, can I use third party CWM after upgrade my HBoot to 1.54?
Any idea? please
Since you have HBOOT 1.54, you cannot boot into recovery using fastboot anymore, you have to flash the recovery and then backup the ROM.
You flash the recovery by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
I also recommend TWRP, its so much easier to use and if you cant find it ill attach it here if you want!
EDIT: **** This will replace your stock recovery by CWM or TWRP ****
HTC One 1.54 bootloader, flash recovery.
Hey guys, new member, and thanks for the extensive information provided on the forum!
I have a related question to what the OP posted...possibly pertinent info about the phone itself:
I have an HTC One with 1.54 bootloader, it used to be a 4.1.2 with 1.44 bootloader AT&T device, which I rooted, S-OFF, CWM etc. I then realized I couldn't take OTA updates and was stuck either on 4.1.2 or a custom ROM, so I downloaded a 4.4 stock google edition RUU and installed it. Everything is good so far, but I cannot do a full backup anymore because it has the stock recovery.
My question is, can I just flash the CWM recovery, backup the phone, and flash back the stock recovery? My goal is to get best of both worlds, get OTA updates from google as well as do a full back-up of my phone.
Please advise, and thanks in advance for your input!
PS: Since the 4.4 RUU update, my phone still says "unlocked" and "S-OFF", if that matters at all.

Sure you can but the stock recovery is only needed for OTA and they don't come that often.
and your phone has to be stock with stock recovery (no apps removed).
most people just ruu back to stock for the ota... not run custom recovery just long enough to backup.
Thanks for the quick response! I think what you're saying makes sense, though I don't have a stock AT&T RUU. I'm guessing I can download it with similar firmware so I can switch as needed. Thanks again!

here's all the ruu's you should ever need
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads
Awesome, thanks again!
I looked around the site before posting this, didn't find anything specific. I have a Nandroid backup of the stock phone before I started messing with it. If I do a recovery of that image using CWM, is it the same as downloading and flashing one of the stock RUUs? I'm guessing not, but would like to know for sure. Is the difference that RUUs have firmware, radio etc, while a Nandroid backup is of the OS and SD card?

well for one thing when you unlock the booloader it deletes some system files when it wipes the phone.. so your stock backup is already flawed (not true stock). and like i said to take OTA you must have a complete Stock phone. the only real Stock phone comes from RUU. I hope this clears it up for you. And no your sdcard is not backed up in the Nandroid

Hi guys, sorry in advance for digging up an old thread!
I have an AT&T HTC One, installed the Google Edition 4.4.2 with this group's help, rooted etc.
I received an OTA update from google today (4.4.3), and while I tried installing it, it crashes with a "SET_METADATA_RECURSIVE" something failed etc. I tried it with both the recovery.img that I have from the Google Edition ROM as well as the CWM recovery.
I've searched for stuff in the forum and the only thing I found is that I may need the latest version of clockworkmod, but I think I already do...I have 6.0.4.3, which is the HTC One AT&T one. Also, since I installed the Google Edition ROM, I haven't removed or uninstalled any system apps..so my phone is pretty stock as far as Google is concerned.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I figured it out...I had to get the recovery.img from the 4.4.2 RUU, fastboot flash the bugger into my phone (CWK didn't work), and I was able to download and install the 4.4.3 with no issues. Pissed away a few hrs trying different things, hopefully this update is worth it!!!

Hey all,
so I recently flashed the MaximusHD ROM for my M7 on T-Mobile US. I love the ROM, 4.3 is great, blah blah blah. But right now, TWRP won't recognize my Nandroid backup that I made on stock 4.1.2. I need a Nandroid backup I can use to restore to Stock if I so need, OR a T-Mobile US ROM for M7 on 4.1.2, so I can relock my bootloader and use my RUU properly (if I relock my bootloader, MaximusHD won't boot, thus making me unable to use the RUU).
Unless one of you fine people can tell me how to get TWRP to recognize my Nandroid backup on 4.1.2 (it doesn't show up in the Restore window in TWRP).
Thanks!
Ps. This isn't necessarily an urgent matter, but I would really love to have these things settled before I need them. Also, I tried using the extracted ROM from the T-Mobile RUU, but TWRP wouldn't flash it, so now I'm stuck trying to find something else. Thanks y'all!

Everything you need can be found in the T-Mobile HTC One forum. I suggest you and everyone else look there for T-Mobile specific needs.
Sorry for another question regarding going back to stock, but couldnt find an answer to my question.
After flashing custom recovery I made a nandroid backup. I restored that backup now and everything seems fine except I still have custom recovery.
Im on 2.24.111.3 firmware now (4.2.2)
Could someone please tell me where should i get appropriate recovery ?
Thanks

Can't really find a recovery matching my current software number, the closest one is recovery 2.24.401.1.img - can i flash it over 2.24.111.3 software?
Thanks

I think you can. I don't know about 2.24.111.3, but for example, 2.24.401.2 has the same recovery as 2.24.401.1. Anyway, trying it shouldn't hurt, you can always flash another stock or custom recovery anyway.
One thing though (don't know if that was a mistake on my part or intentional), when I flashed a stock recovery and rebooted into it (I was trying something on my phone), it wiped my sdcard.
