Hey all,
My phone is having hardware issues, its ONLY just within warranty and its going to be returned for repair. Therefore it needs to look 100% un-tampered from a software point of view.
It WAS rooted, ROM'd and S-off'd but I have followed and guide, now the TAMPERED, UNLOCKED and S-OFF messages have all gone.
Now on hboot all it says is:
*****LOCKED*****

I don't think im 100% stock yet, I cannot get an OTA updates, when attempting it says none found. I'm on android 4.1.2... I know for a fact there are updates.
I came from a custom ROM 5.XX version so therefore had to downgrade but got VERY confused on which i needed, in the end one worked and it said online that i was pretty safe as it wouldn't let me install an incorrect version anyway. i installed the RUU.exe titled: RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4.exe
What alarms me is the version 1.20.401.1.1, is that okay?
Also why cant i get OTA updates? surely HTC will realise its been tampered with if it wont OTA update?

you went back too far, try installing this RUU and then see if it will update: http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...31.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
Ahh that worked! thanks!
How did you know it was this one? I still cant understand which one I needed!

1.20.401.1 is a pre-release version and you won't be able to update it. Flash the 1.28.401.7 ruu which is the first official version. If you have followed nkk71's guide to return back to stock , you should have seen this:

Hi,
Another noob question from me.
I recently bought a HTC One. I uploaded a custom ROM (was silly and didn't backup properly). I'd like to have the ability to restore the phone to a complete factory reset. I want the same, exact HTC ROM that the phone originally shipped with, and also no ***TAMPERED***, ***UNLOCKED***. I'll worry about the tampered and unlocked later (locking should be easy - but i want ***LOCKED*** not ***RELOCKED***).
My phone's info:
M7_U PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
Mar 15 2013,22:11:42:-1
I keep on running into deadends thinking I've found the factory stock ROM, but when I try to install it, I get errors like 'could not install'...
At some point I relocked the phone and the install went further, but eventually failed with a 'wrong model' error or something. Based on the model info above of my phone can someone point me in the right direction to find the correct ROM?
Thanks so much. I hope soon to be just as much of a contributor as I am an asker...
First of all you cannot get it to state locked it will always say relocked until a s-off is achieved where you will be able to downgrade hboot and second of all download the app below and post the results.

Thanks...downloaded. A long list of variables with no cut'n'paste...but here is maybe the relevant info:
ro.boot.carrier HTC-Asia-SEA-WWE
ro.boot.cid HTC__044
ro.boot.mid PN0711000
ro.cm.device m7
ro.product.module HTC One
ro.product.name htc_m7
Any other details I can provide?
I think this original RUU should suffice.

actually thats better than getting OTA
just download a custom rom like ViperOne or ARHD or InsertCoin and
copy it to your downloads folder
reboot your phone and hold volume down and it will enter the bootloader. go into recovery from here and wipe/factory reset and install the rom you copied to the phone. 10x better than waiting on OTA update
Edit: When rebooting the phone you may have a menu with the choice of booting recovery ..choose that

Hi folks, long time listener, first time caller.
I have an HTC One (M7_UL) from EE UK.
Last year I unlocked, rooted and tried a few methods from XDA (toning down the crazy vibration, etc), then wanted to go back to stock in order to easily receive the 4.2.2 update that EE were sending out OTA. I messed something up and ended up having to sideload Teamwin recovery and the European 4.2.2 (2.24.401.1) ROM in order to have a working phone again. My own stupid fault. Have had no problems with it since and just left it as is.
However, I recently realised that I wasn't gonna get any more OTA updates, and having very little time to update to different ROMS myself these days, I'd kinda like to go back to the boring, easy life of getting the OTAs (probably six to nine months late, but whatever!)
I have been searching for a while but always end up with about twenty XDA browser tabs open and end up really confused.
The two issues I need to get sorted:
1) Does anyone know if EE UK have their own specific ROM, or if it is just the General European RUU that they send out? I can't find any specific EE ROMs anywhere, months of searching.
2) I only have access to Macs, not Windows machines.

Thanks for the quick response cr1960!
First issue:
"First you need to be S-Off, this will NOT work with S-On!!!"
I'm S-On as seen in my bootloader info above. I've read it's dangerous to go back to S-On from Off, so does this mean I can't use this guide, ruling out going S-Off then S-On in order to follow it?

1- you can stay S-Off, it won't affect OTA updates
2- the only reason for going S-On (in my opinion), is if you're selling the phone or sending it in for warranty
3- it's not dangerous to go S-Off to S-On (unless you're using a modded hboot), however, if you do that on hboot 1.55+ it will very likely trigger a "tamper detected - rebooting" and TAMPERED is back in the bootloader, hence the guide says to go from S-Off to S-On at a very specific time.

Hi everyone:
My goal was to go from HTC One Orange branded (France) to an HTC stock ROM. This way no unnecessary carrier apps, and no more wait for updates. But the irony is now that i reached my goal i get a "no update available for your phone" message
My phone is considered up to date whereas i'm on
Android 4.1.2
Sense 5.0
Software: 1.29.401.12
Here is what i did:
unlock bootloader
installed cwm touch recovery
root with superSU
SOFF
modified CID to HTC__203
Tried a first RUU install with RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed
Got error 155
Downgrade hboot 1.55 to 1.44
RUU install successful this time.
Tried update: corrupted download error message
tried again: no update availble for your phone
Tried to kill updater app and cache but no luck
tried with RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4

Go HTC__001 on your CID, ive noticed that superCID isn't in the android-info text file in the 401 OTA's and RUU's, and also, why did you go back so far, why not just go straight for the KitKat 401 RUU ?
http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe
+1 what Seanie280672 said
btw, if receiving updates faster is your main goal in this, why did you choose the .401 version? Dev edition (.1540) receive updates much faster than the WWE .401 version. Just saying if its not to late, you could use the 3.22.1540 ruu and then updates from ota.
And the 1.20.401 ruu is a pre-release version, no updates exist for that version.
First of all, thank you guys so much for taking the time to read and help !
Alray you got a point, indeed the aim is to have update faster, I just didn’t know dev edition could be updated first, well I’m not in a hurry I’d still have them quicker than if I still were on an Orange CID. Just so you know Sense 6 is not even deployed yet on those …

you will probably have to flash the corresponding firmware first to get your hboot version back up, see here, the firmware you want for that ruu is 4.19.401.9 don't forget to flash it twice.

well give a try to the dev edittion ruu. It require cid BS_US001 and MID PN0712000.
try the 4.19.1540.9 ruu. If that one doesnt work, the 3.22.1540.1 ruu will work, im 100% sure. Then if you still not receiving ota from 3.22.1540.1 you can download them in the dev edition thread. We have posted them recently.
And don't worry, even if its a US version, you can also select the french language.
Bonne chance!
Merci Alray i'll give it a try to the dev version, now that i'm more comfortable with the procedures.
Thank you Seanie too!
So what i did is download the nowipe firmware version that indeed matches the RUU file as suggested by Seanie
- flash firmware

Hi I need to restore my HTC One M7 European to stock, since I want to return it for repair of the purple tint issue. My question is what HBOOT is now the "official" from HTC Europe, so I can choose the right one.
When I got the phone in summer 2013 I initially just followed the OTA upates. In December I converted to Google GPE to get KitKat faster (and also later got Lolipop). This involved getting S-OFF etc.
Phone info before I converted (December 2013) - had HBOOT 1.55.
M7_UL PVT SHIP SON RH
HBOOT 1.55
RADIO 4A.21.3263.04
OpenDSP-32.120.274.0909
OS-3.62.401.1
eMMC boot 2048MB
Oct 17 2013
Used RumRunner to get S-OFF, change cid etc. and convert to GPE. Then followed OTA updates for a while, including upgrade to Lolipop. Status today:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-GOOGL001
HBOOT-1.54.0000
RADIO-4T.30.3218.21
OpenDSP-v34.120.274.0429
OS-5.11.1700.3
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Dec 2 2014 22:11:20.0
So I'm actually on a lower HBOOT now than before I did any hacking.
Questinon is - if I had followed the official upgrade cycle would I still be at HBOOT-1.55?
Here's my idea for reverting this phone to stock:
1) Rewrite CID to original
2) Install suitable KitKat RUU
3) Upgrade to HBOOT 1.55 (since this was the original - I'm wondering if I get 1.55 automatically through step #2 though).
4) fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 (in order to return to S-ON)
5) Install OTA updates
Will the phone now be in the same state as if I had not done any hacking? I've also seen people somewhere suggest you need HBOOT-1.44 to get S-ON back. Is that true? If so, can I downgrade to 1.44, put S-ON and then upgrade to 1.55? Also what about the other elements in the list (OpenDSP etc.) will they return to stock via the RUU? The trouble is I have no way to tell what the values would have been if I had not hacked the phone and had just followed official OTA's.
Any help will be much appreciated. I'm a bit confused over HBOOT issues.

DO NOT GO S-ON EVER !!!
DO NOT RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER (you will never get it unlocked again)
Hboot 1.54 is what all GPe phone's have
Simply change your CID and MID back to what they were and flash a RUU and your back to Sense Firmware with the hboot in that RUU
theirs a full guide for returning to stock here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082

Hi thanks. I had great troubles using the KitKat RUU. I suspected it was due to incompatibility with HBOOT. Downgraded HBOOT to 1.44, still didn't work. Then instead I used an RUU for Jelly Bean (in fact the original image) and this worked like a charm. Then I've applied a tons of OTA updates and now I'm on HBOOT 1.54. But now I'm stuck because it can't find the 4.19.401.11 update on HTC's server! I guess they have simply removed it and most people aren't bothered because they are way past.
BTW, why would it be a problem to go S-ON? Can't I go S-OFF again using the same method I originally used (using Rumrunner etc.)? Why would this S-ON be more permanent than a factory S-ON? I need to be S-ON to send the phone into service.
