[Q] Return to stock

I'm looking to return my phone to 100% stock purely because I'm not benifiting from being Rooted as some apps i.e Barclays doesn't work. I no longer have the original back up of my phone when I first rooted.
I've tried downloading the EU ROM for my phone and install via the exe file however keep getting a 101 error. My phone is T-Mobile UK and I've tried everything I can think of.
If someone could give me a clear walkthrough of how to restore my phone to stock I'd be very happy.
Thanks.

How long or short do you want the process?
Long version: achieve S-Off, remove tampered, restore nandroid, restore stock recovery, set locked, etc. etc. etc.
Short version: flash your Guru Reset http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-161-1-zip/
__during installer: select WIPE, unselect ROOT, select "stock recovery", select "stock radio", you will be able to receive official OTAs
Hit the thanks button if I've helped

I've been able to flash a rom it seems which doesn't seem to be rooted. I shall repost the getvar shortly

I would just flash the Guru Reset I posted above, because it's made for your phone/version, and you'll be able to receive any OTA updates just fine

That's what I've done. However, when I try to enter rocovery now I get a warning triangle. I imagine that is normal. I've no idea how to use S-Off lol

Oh how unusual Well thanks. I have already flashed a incorrect one, so I've just re-rooted my phone and then I'll flash the zip you've provided. I've been searching ALL day for this solution and you've solved it like that.
Thank you very much!

No problem glad it worked.
BTW, I just noticed your signature which say T-Mobile, so you thought it was a T-Mo phone, but turns out to be a Vodafone.

[Q] Using a SIM unlock code with Cyanogenmod

I've got a HTC One with Wind Mobile in Canada, and I've got Cyanogenmod installed on it.
Today, I got an unlock code from Wind so I can move my phone to Telus. Everything seemed fine, until I got a Telus sim card (and had my number transferred), installed it, and tried inputting the unlock code. It told me that the code was rejected.
Through my limited research abilities, I figured out that SIM unlock doesn't seem to work from non-Sense based roms. But there's also no RUU that I could find for my phone (at least, not for Wind).
So, what I'd like to do is install some sort of Sense rom, so I can go in, unlock the phone, and then reinstall the same rom I currently have (I've created an update.zip with Titanium Backup that will bring my phone back to Cyanogenmod as I have it set up right now).
The only missing piece is how I can get back to some sort of stock/sense rom. Can anyone advise me what to do? I've seen a few links to nandroid restores (of some sort... I'm not completely up to date on how that works), but the links I've tried are dead.
Thanks in advance!

You'll need to post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' (minus IMEI and SERIALNO) before. Not sure if a ''close to stock'' rom will do, maybe you'll need to be completely stock. I don't remember excatly, I think @nkk71 already posted the prerequisites to sim-unlock, maybe a month ago in another thread, can't find it.

AFAIK there is no ruu for .1500 sw version (WIND) neither CWM or TWRP nandroid backup or guru reset rom. Have you made any nandroid backup of your phone before flashing Cyanogen? If yes restore it and try the unlock code again. If you don't have a backup then maybe you coul try a sense based rom like arhd
Ok I have found the post of nkk71 regarding sim-unlock prerequisites:
nkk71 said:
Do some searching here (in the Q&A) section, there were quite a few SIM Unlock threads solved (quite a while ago), I can't exactly remember, but it used to be a combo of
1- stock rom (or very close) but matching to firmware version
2- possibly stock recovery
3- possibly locked/relocked bootloader
4- s-off / s-on doesn't matter
I believe number 1 was the most important, can't say/remember about 2 and 3, and quite sure S-Off won't matter.

I solved it by installing arhd, like you suggested. Booted it up, got prompted for the unlock code, entered it, then rebooted into recovery to reinstall CM. Worked perfectly.

Old M7 - Which Rom can I use and do I have to update?

Hey guys,
So a year ago I gave my girlfriend my old M7 because she still had an old Sony Ericsson and I thought it was time for an upgrade.
Now she's living with me and I wanted to update the M7 to (preferably) Lollipop as it's still suck on 4.4.4
The current ROM is cm-1120141008-SNAPSHOT and I think the phone has the super CID so I should be able to use every rom (iirc).
My question now is: How would I start to update this thing to Lollipop? Do I need to update the firmware or something? Because thats basically my problem.
Some tips or a guide on how I need to continue would be nice. Maybe some suggestions for new roms as well. Thanks in Advance!
EDIT: So I looked it up in bootloader and I have super CID and S-OFF. The hboot version is 1.57.0000. RADIO is 4T.29.3218.08
If you need any more info I'd be happy to post it.

Uhm for a ROM I'd like something thats good with battery life. She doesn't need much customizing. Jut something that works good and doesn't have any major bugs. I'm open to everything.

If you want to avoid buggy rom I would stay away from Cyanogenmod as there is no stable build of CM12 yet for the M7 (only nightly builds).
Updating to stock lollipop + HTC sense or stock lollipop GPE version using a ruu might be the simplest solution. You could also update the firmware and flash a lollipop custom rom. Its up to you. I can help you in both cases.

Download the GPE ruu (5.11.1700.3) and save it in the same folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are installed on your computer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944.
Change your MID number to PN0712000 using this tool or this guide
Then flash the GPE ruu:
Open the command window and type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Your phone will reboot in ruu mode, you should see a black screen with silver HTC logo.
Code:
fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_STOCK_UI_MR_Google_WWE_5.11.1700.3_ ... .30.3218.21_10.33I.1718.01L_release_403339_signed.zip
fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_STOCK_UI_MR_Google_WWE_5.11.1700.3_ ... .30.3218.21_10.33I.1718.01L_release_403339_signed.zip
fastboot reboot
Then check for ota update, you should have one or two iirc.
Flashing the ruu will wipe everything from the phone like if it was brand new so backup your important files before if any.

That seemed to have worked! Thank you so much. She's now setting it up. I'll comment or will send you a pm if I have any further questions or problems! Thanks again!

No ROM, No Recovery, Relocked, Tampered, Security Warning

I've been searching around for a solution to fix my device with all of my attempts failing. I have a HTC One M7 from Telus (Newfoundland, Canada) which is about 3 years old. It's in great condition and has been well taken care of. I had been using CM 12.1 and TWRP right up until a few days ago. My intentions were to bring my phone back to factory settings without any root capabilities as the newest update for Pokémon Go requires you to have an un-rooted device. Obviously my efforts to go back to factory settings were in vain as now my phone is basically one step away from being bricked. I can load up the bootloader just fine and acheive fastboot without any problems although anything beyond there fails everytime (ie. enter recovery mode).
I'm able to do stuff with it using ADB tools via my pc so not all hope is lost just yet. Could anyone provide step by step instructions on how to get the phone back to an untampered state as well as links to the files i'll need to do so? I have yet to find any ROM's for a TELUS M7 as well as the default recovery tools. I keep seeing links to utilities which apparently are a basic one-click-fix though none of them have worked thusfar (my most recent one is called "RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_TELUS_WWE_4.19.661.8_R_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_351500_signed_2.exe" which seems to work right up until it gets to the HEADER portion where it doesn't move past 5%)
I've since bought a new phone which is an extreme pain to use as, in my opinion, it's a huge downgrade from what i've been using (LG-K121)
Any and all help is muchly appreciated [:=

I recognize this is my own mistake as a result of being short sighted and not careful enough with my actions.

When a phone is S-ON you can only flash a RUU that is same or newer version than your actual version. Unfortunately your version-main is blank (this is bug caused by an old twrp version) so we can't exactly know the version it was running. The 1.61 hboot version and CID/MID suggest a 7.17.661.?? version. The newest RUU version available is 7.17.661.7
Try to flash it (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944)
Use instruction provided at post #1 of that thread to flash the RUU ****make sure to use the fastboot version provided in that thread***.
If your phone was running a newer bersion than that (i.e 7.17.661.52) the RUU won't flash and we'll have to try something else.
Btw did you already relocked your bootloader? If no make sure to reflash the stock recovery over twrp before re-locking.

Alrighty, just to reiterate before I get into it, you suggested I choose the 7.17.661.7 version correct?

Yep try this version first and if it's not working we'll try something else. You'll have to relock your bootloader before flashing the ruu, male sure to flash the stock recovery (linked above) before relocking.

My Bootloader has already been Relocked, should I be doing something else to get a working recovery on there before I begin flashing the RUU?

Any suggestions on what should be done next?
Also - thank you so friggen much for your help & I apologize for being so noob in these matters

no problem. Update your phone to the latest version before unlocking and rooting. The latest one is .52

One final question - is there a default recovery on there now that everything is set up and running properly or will I need to dig up a factory recovery, achieve S-OFF & flash it on there?

When flashing a RUU, the stock recovery is installed on the phone. The stock recovery is very limited, it can be used to install ota updates, clear cache and factory reset. If you want to make a backup of your whole phone you'll need to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (preferably TWRP).

My only issue with going back to custom ROM's (which I waaay prefer over stock as stock ROM's are super limited in so many ways) is I will be prevented from playing Pokémon Go as Niantic have recently disallowed such operating systems from running their app altogether. I don't care for using apps which would be considered 'cheating' or 'exploiting' but with a custom ROM i'd be completely forced to stop playing it no matter how I choose to do so (yes it's silly that i'm basing my decision around that one simple game which isn't even all that great as far as Pokémon games go but it's what I do to pass time during my work breaks 6 nights a week).
Until a fail-safe workaround is made for this tiny issue, i'm stuck with Official 5.0.2 (blek!) and Sense - at the very least I can use a custom Launcher but that's about all I can do.

I played the game for 2-3 days at launch and it was easy to spoof a fake gps location to cheat. To do that I also had to hide the fact the I was using "mock location" from the developer options using an Xposed module or the game would detect it. I guess its also really easy to hide the fact the you are using a custom rom/root from pokémon go using the same method... Not tried but im sure it can be done.

I assume it was easy prior to the current update - they've cracked down on 'spoof players' about a week or so ago

Post your fastboot getvar all output, but erase your IMEI and serial number from it. That way we will be able to point you in the right direction

This old device received officiall Android Lollipop years ago, so you'll be fine with pokemon go. I'm gonna see if I have my old h-boot stored for you when I come home from work. I think you can go directly to the last one because your phone is s-off, but I'm not sure about that because your h-boot is very old. If you can hold on for about 12 hours, I'll point you to the right direction then

Downgrade your version-main # to 7.18.708.2 using the guide at the end of this post (how to downgrade with s-on). Once done flash the 7.18.708.21 RUU using instruction of this post. Finally you'll have to take 2 ota update so you're back on 7.18.708.51 (if you need to unlock/root again make sure to install update before)

fastboot oem rebootRUU will make your phoned reboot in ruu mode (that black screen with silver htc logo). Once in ruu mode, it's time to flash the ruu using "fastboot flashing zip ruu.zip". During the flashings process you should get an error saying "flush image again immediately", the phone will reboot itself in ruu mode again and the flashing will continue,it's all normal.

If the ruu flashed fine, it's not rooted anymore. Root files are stored on the /system partition which is wiped and flashed back to stock with the ruu.
