Hi All,
As the title says, I am trying to restore my HTC One m7 to factory settings on the Vodafone AU network. I have had nothing but headaches over this since I first rooted this phone and unlocked my boot loader. Idealy I just want it all over with and restored to Vanilla software, I honestly don't really know how to go about this and I cannot located a RUU for my carrier.
I would really appreciate any help people can provide me with and just let me know any details that are required for this.

About a week ago I received notification to update to ICS. After downloading the file and the phone upgrading it get locked into a boot loop, then after about 14 hours it finally escapes form the loop and starts up only to have the SIM not get recognized, I tried restoring to factory default but it didn't work... I then sent the phone to Bell to get repaired but now they are asking for $200 to fix the phone as apparently the bootloader was unlocked and voided warranty.
As you can guess I'm saying "screw you" to that and trying to fix myself... I'm not experienced with android and when I originally upgraded I didn't back up my original software so i have nothing to restore... So basically right now I am wondering what I should do... the phone is being returned to me not repaired and I want to fix this but don't have the knowledge how to... I'm not dumb when it comes to unlocking phones as I used to unlock old Nokia's and jailbreak iPhones but I have no idea when it comes to Androids.
I'm guessing I will need to try and find an official ROM for this but Bell canada isn't the most open with their OEM software so I was wondering if anyone could help in this area by providing a ROM I could use... secondly I guess I will need to S-off my device in order to install the software?
I have searched the forum to find somethings that may be relevant to what I'm trying to do... but I'm getting confused as to what i should do (The curse of being a Noob)
Any info would be great... thanks

Quick summary: you have to be totally stock (relocked bootloader, unrooted, S-ON) to run the update to ICS via Bell.
Thanks... will give it a look through and see if I can recover this way.
Hi all,
I have finally moved from my N1 to HTC One.
currently i'm on the HTC one stock 4.1.2 German Vodaphone ROM.
i want to record all my calls on it (i live in a different country that it's allowed here), I tried few apps but nothing worked well for recording both sides of the call. can someone suggest an app that will work well for me and share his "best practice" settings for it please?
another question, because the 4.2.2 is being out now on OTA for unlocked devices, i wanted to know how do i check if my boot loader is unlocked or not?
in addition, i saw that i have ADB access to the device and i'm curious if it will help me get the OTA update if i will only change my CID for HTC_001 for example but without rooting or anything like it? i'm not sure that it's possible to do that this way but i don't want to root or play to much with my device for now (i know most of that stuff from the N1, had 4.2.2 on it but never played with CID on it )
would appreciate your help
Hey Guys,
So I am need of a bit of help and guidance. I currently have a HTC One 32Gb Silver from T-Mobile (US). I need to return my phone for warranty exchange but so far I have put several different roms, TWRP recovery, perm root, and obv unlocked bootloader. I need to return everything to how it was out of the box. I made a backup of my stock rom way back in May after I unlocked the bootloader. I know generally people would use an RUU but I do not think there is one for T-Mobile US. So I just need some guidance on how to put back factory recovery, and then relock bootloader without T-Mobile it was ever unlocked. I believe this can be achieved thru S-OFF then S-On back on again after you fix the "re-locked" and "tampered". If someone can walk me through how to properly do this and the files I would need I give you huge gratitude.

I can't walk you through the steps, but you'll find more assistance in the T-Mobile HTC One forum. The official T-Mobile RUU is actually available now and can be found here:

That depends if you don't mind your warranty being void, you can either unlock the boot loader and flash a custom Rom or, get s-off, which will cost $25 and run an unbranded international ruu, either way your warranty will be void.
Hi there
The warranty is void anyways. I am not too bothered about that. I just want to get rid of Vodaphone presence on my phone and install a fresh copy of android.
Thanks

Ok, I feel your pain, I used to be on Vodafone UK firmware too so I know the bloat your talking about.
I paid for the s-off way myself, but there's no shame if you don't want to, it just makes things a bit easier and you can modify more.
Personally talking i think Vodafone just goes too far with its 'bloating' software and really there is NO need for it all.
What i am rtying to do is to unlock the phone and then install a fresh copy of android (not sure what version yet).
So, first step is to get 'S-OFF'.............. i will see how to get that done....
cheers

Do you know how to use adb and fastboot ? Do you also have your phone drivers installed on your computer ?
Once all that's done, or if you can post the info listed in your bootloader then we can tell you which s-off tool to use, it depends on which hboot you have on your phone.
To get to the bootloader, hold down the power button till the restart menu pops up, select restart, whilst the phone is going off, hold the volume down button, don't let go until your in the bootloader, post all that info on that screen here.
