No ROM, No Recovery, Relocked, Tampered, Security Warning - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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. Also, i'm willing to take any amount of time necessary to learn whatever skills may be required to resolve this issue (how to utilize certain tools properly, specific programming languages etc.)

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?

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

[Q] Preloaded Apps Missing.

So I'm relatively new to the whole rooting & roming scene. I did however root my HTC One recently, (S-On, Superuser, Unlocked bootloader through HTCDev) (Can't remember what recovery, running CWM at the moment). However somewhere through the process i lost some Pre-installed apps. I've tried searching, and installed apps through what's been posted on different sites, but they give me "app not responding" problems whenever i try to run them. I'm also a fan of the stock apps so wouldn't like to download "3rd party" app. So i was wondering if there is way to get them back. here's my environment variables/ whatever they are called if they help.
Code:

unlocking the bootloader removes them
you should be able to find them in any of the 4.3 roms
just extract them from the zip file under /system/apps and copy them to your phone sdcard and install them

Edit: i did manage to google earlier on, it said something about write protection? but im rooted so i don't quite understand why im getting this error.

you need to flash a rom with an insecure boot.img/kernel

So i've flashed ARHD 31.6, but still no dice, still can't manage to s-off successfully, i've tried both the latest HTC drivers and earlier ones (3.0.0.007), Still can't manage it, any advice? followed the instructions to the last detail.
Has anyone else managed to recently S-off a HTC One International ed?
Edit: also tried on a different machine with no htc sync ever installed.

Check your drivers in Windows device manager with the phone plugged in booted up and also in the boot loader, this is something your going to need to get working in order to get back to stock.

When booted (into the OS) It shows a My Android Device in device manager, No errors of any kind. While on the bootloader it simply shows a "unknown device" in the USB tree. While in TWRP it shows the same thing as when booted into the OS.

You need to force the driver when in the boot loader then, just right click and select update driver, choose let me pick myself NOT let Windows search, it will fail, and from there go manual all the way till the driver is installed.
It should say myhtc in device e manager when booted and in recovery by the way, you can get the lastest drivers by downloading and installing HTC sync manager from HTC site, just be sure to uninstall HTC sync after the install from add remove programs, you should see HTC driver package just above it, leave that alone.

you can flash the same firmware that's on the phone now or higher
it has nothing to do with stock. If you want stock just flash a stock odex rom or find a nandroid of your carrier
i did had nandbackup of my rom .. am on s-on .. if i restore backup with twrp and change my recovery to stock and re lock my bootloader .. will my future updates will update my firmware to 7xxxxxxxxxx.. coz to update firmware rte now i need to be on s-off nd i cant s-off ..cant pay 25$
My mom is going to be the one using the phone. IS there any basically stock ROMS floating around out there? I just want to give the appearance when its booted up its stock. My only other concern is can the device be activated if its rooted and with a custom rom? Even the viper rom still maintains the auto activate feature it seems. I just want it to be stable for her so I don't have to constantly explains how to do things. As far as warranty goes she won't be maintain the equipment protection on the device so whatever happens to it is on her. I'm half tempted to see if there is something they might due about the cracked camera lense on it...I've had two htc ones so far and they haven't cost me anything to replace other htan the monthly insurance plan.

Please help!!!

I have tried the latest rom for htc that was recommended from xda. was told to unlock bootloader push rom to device. then relock device the open twrp and install rom but this will not work because the bootloader is locked.
I am running out of ideas. I have spent nearly 5 days, day and night to revive my m7. followed every tutorial and all instructions thoroughly only to come to the same point. rom not installed.

Please just post in one thread only! Remove the IMEI information from getvar information.
There appears to be a RUU for your device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
See 7.19.980.5
However your current version main is 7.21.980.35 so I'm not sure it will flash since the device has a newer version already installed. Scroll to the bottom of the page and read the instructions for "How to downgrade with S-ON" and change the current version main to 7.19.980.5 then flash the RUU.
Hope this works for you

@mb_guy This is real mess now lol, he posted at 3 different places, one member telling him to unlock and flash a custom rom (which is ok), another member telling him to flash the wrong RUU without even looking at his getvar and us now telling him to do something different here. Hope he now understand why he shouldn't create 2 threads for the same issues and post in a 3rd one... : Contradictory advice and confusion :crying:
A BIG thank you
I would like to thank the team and their members for helping me Restore my HTC back to normal. It was a very frustrating and time consuming process for a novice phone hacker. but managed to get everything back to normal from this last thread response, and managed to unlock, root and s-off as well, which was the process i was trying to achieve in thew first place. I now have backed up my phone system and kept a copy of the working ROM.
I am sorry for any issues that I may have caused by creating a new forum thread, I didn't realise this was bad online etiquette. It was purely because I was not getting the right responses from the existing threads, and mostly because I am not that familiar with how forums work.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Shane.

Hi
Just wondering if this ruu that i have installed in this post will accept software updates? I am rooted and s-off. will the update affect the current status?

Yes but root might be a problem. Lot of ppl ended with softbricked phone after installing a Lollipop ota update over a rooted stock rom. Backup your files first, then try to update. If that doesn't work you can always re-flash the RUU and take all ota updates before rooting.

unfortunately set up wizard has stopped working

Hi, i have recently been trying to root my htc m7, but had problems along the way so tried to do a factory restore with TWRP, it got as far as updating all apps but then gave a message "unfortunately set up wizard has stopped working". and i cant get into any phone settings.
I can get into bootloader and TWRP ( phone is showing tampered and unlocked )
Could do with a little assist cos im quite a noob at this......thanx in advance for any comments

Reflash a rom or a ruu. Something on /system got corrupt, a factory reset won't fix anything on /system.
What was the problem with root exactly?

Are you sure your version-main is really 7.25.771.551?
You could flash the 7.19.771.21 RUU but since your phone is S-ON you'll have to change your version-main.
file at post #2 of this thread, instruction at post #1. version-main downgrade explained at the end of post #2 (how to downgrade with s-on)
Your other option is to flash any custom rom you'd like from twrp. Most roms are pre-rooted btw. ARHD is good one to start with, stable, looks like a stock rom but with many improvements. There are also some good Sense 7 roms like InsertCoin or NewSenSeven.

Thank you for info, where would i find the stock rom to match my version main, after all, I just wanted to try and "root" the phone in the first place.
If I got it back to original state then maybe i could start over again with proper guidance.
Sorry if I sound like a proper novice............. but i am...........thanks once again.

There is no rom that match your version-main, thats why I suggested that you either change your version-main using the downgrade guide so you can flash the 7.19.771.21 RUU (you'll be able to update back to your current version after) or to flash any custom rom you'd like.
Sorry I understand now, I'll have a shot at downgrading and see how it goes. Thanks for your time and advice.

[Q] Relocked bootloader while using custom software, hboot won't detect power button

So, here's the thing, I already posted on a thread but it seems it's actually full of people asking and the guys answering there are stumped with our problems so I came here.
My bootloader is locked because I (stupidly ) relocked it while trying to install a newer firmware via RUU so then it just locked me out and couldn't do anything until I installed the RUU update of the same version I was running.
It's working but not as intended.
I tried unlocking the bootloader again after installing the RUU but no luck, the token works but it just won't detect my power button when I try to accept but the button works perfectly while running the system.

Actually they guy there, me, was really busy in the past days and wasn't able to answer everyone. You can't imagine how much PM and Quote I had in the last week And yes I agree with you, its really hard to troubleshoot in that thread since there's so many discussions going on at the same time.

Its a pretty uncommon problem. When flashing a RUU, all partitions (except some partitions that are unique to each devices) are flashed back to stock, even the bootloader which make me believe its not a corrupt bootloader problem. So if after flashing a RUU, your phone still have some problems, its most likely an hardware problem... If the RUU flashed fine there is nothing more you can do on the software side.... THe only thing I can think is to use Sunshine S-OFF to unlock your bootloader but unfortunately it cost 25$ to use Sunshine but at least it will bypass that "power button not working only in bootloader" problem
Yeah, I figured you were real busy. )^:
I really don't mind paying for Sunshine to get S-Off but when I tried running it to get temp root it just says it failed and closes. Is there any way for me to get it working?

I would try the same method they are using in the Verizon HTC One forum, get temp root using kingRoot then launch sunshine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...root-root-method-bl-unlock-5-0-x-ota-t3122099
Yay! It worked. I'm S-Off and unlocked right now so I might try to install TWRP and stuff.
KingRoot worked like a charm, I didn't even need to re-run it and try to get some prompt, it just... worked and gave me temp root.
Code:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.61.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4M.32.3218.06
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 7.23.502.4
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
.
Anyway, I still have a little doubt (unrelated to this issue but you seem to know your way around). Everything I posted in this and that thread went down because I tried to install this ROM and it said I needed some firmware flashed.
What I'm trying to get to is:
Do I really need to flash that firmware?
Is it flashed via TWRP?
Are those GPE roms worth it?
Anyways, thank you for helping me out.

Glad it worked!
Firmware files are flashed with fastboot in ruu mode:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip "file name".zip
fastboot flash zip "file name".zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then go in recovery and flash the rom
Better to flash the latest firmware without stock recovery so you don't overwrite twrp recovery with the stock recovery.
Note that this firmware is the latest GPE firmware and that if you want to go back to stock rom using a ruu you'll have to reflash a hboot 1.57 or 1.61 firmware before running a 7.xx.xxx.xx Sense ruu.
GPE roms is perfect if you want something closer to a nexus experience, otherwise stay with a Sense rom.
