Hello , I just bought HTC one , am very new to android , and need some help please .

1- I've read a lot about Rooting and still can't understand what's the difference between ROMs and Recovery ?

2-My HTC one just got the update to 4.2.2 , are the root guides still good ? or did they change something with the update ? or is the current android version of my device irreverent ?

3-I've read somewhere that when you root your HTC one you lose some stock apps ? is that still true ? is there a way to get them back after rooting ?

4-If I changed my mind about rooting , can I take back my device to its original state [unrooted , and with stock HTC skin] ?

Note :

English isn't my native language , firefox can fix my spelling mistakes but can't fix my grammer :D , Thanks in advance
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polishbroadcast:
I'm new to this stuff too but hopefully that helps me make it more understandable.

1. Recovery is both software, and a state. ROM is the OS. Recovery is software you put on the device that you can boot off of which allows you to install a new OS, flash specific parts of the phone (mobile radio, etc), and make other changes you can't normally make when the main Android OS is running. Think of recovery like when you boot your computer off a CD and it goes into low-level utility mode. A ROM is just an OS. There are many versions with different names and features.

2. Root guides should still work.

3. I don't know about stock apps. It depends on the ROM. For the one i'm using, when you do the install, it asks what stock apps you want to keep and which you want to delete.

4. You can find original or stock ROMs for most phones. If you are concerned about it, look for a stock version for your phone before you flash a new ROM. I believe some recovery software lets you make backups of the current ROM so if you ever want to revert, you can (this part gets a little fuzzy for me).

For me, i have an HTC one, and wanted to keep Sense 5 (HTC's custom ROM skin / apps / functionality) so i found a ROM (Trickdroid, or Revolution HD) that kept Sense 5 and just added in carrier features i needed. So yes: you can keep the stock skin and get newer updates created by the community.

Your english is perfect!

This is the HTC One forum.

You can likely find a stock ROM for your phone, but it will show as unlocked on the boot screen. There isn't a way (i know of) to re-lock a phone.

Hello!

I have a problem with the new 4.2.2 update. I played around with some ROMS when i received the phone, but ended up sticking with the Stock rom.

However my bootloader was still open, so whenever i tryed to update it put me into the bootloader. (I am unrooted).

I ran the all in one toolkit to relock my bootloader, which now says: "Tampered" "Relocked" "Security Warning"

But i still cant update.

Any ideas?

Restore HTC One to FACTORY

Okay this is my first post on the forum, I just got this phone yesterday and I've already messed up. (I don't know if this deserves it's own thread or not, so let me know if it does.

Yesterday I just got a few apps, imported some stuff from my iphone 5 and called it a day. Today since I'm so experienced with jailbreaking the iPhones I decided to try a root. I followed this video /watch?v=qpj6dEMn9dw and all was well until this point right here - /watch?v=qpj6dEMn9dw?t=14m17s. It didn't say entering recovery and it booted back up to the normal UI. I thought this is as far as I'm going and I'll undo everything I've done so far to avoid further messing up this device. I started by going into the phone's hd and deleting the supersu zip file. I then followed this tutorial to relock my bootloader /watch?v=tlJBzsrlCdQ. It got to the point to use an RUU and the download page didn't have mine (Rogers). I looked for Rogers and found two files that weren't RUU's, an OTA and a Nandroid. I have them both downloaded and not a clue what to do with them. I thought that in the video he was doing a factory reset so i did that via the bootloader and then when it booted back up all my regular factory rogers apps were gone. When I go into Settings > Backup and Reset > Reset phone > Erase all data > Okay; it opens up the bootloader and when i reboot everything is still there. Also in the bootloader it says tampered, relocked and security warningg.

If anybody can help just get my phone back to the way it was when i bought it from rogers, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt95:
Glad to see that you switched to Android ;) However as far as i understood you want your Roger's app back right?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelliott7234:
That's correct, also if I do choose to do some more RESEARCH then root and get supersu and everything is that still possible after getting my rogers app back?

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

scratch that. just by reading the fine print I really wish I didn't attempt to unlock the bootloader and root. is there any POSSIBLE way to get it back LOCKED not RELOCKED. I just want it back to the way it was if there is any way to do that

HTC One + Paranoid Android = No Data

Hi, i recently rooted my HTC one using an All in one Toolkit + Clockwork bootloader.

The rom i decided to use was Paranoid Android which i loved on my Nexus 4.

Unfortunately its not so polished on the HTC one and it has slight lags.

but the biggest issue i'm finding is that it kills my data after a few minutes when rebooted.

I get no more LTE, 4G, 3G... nothing. Wifi still works.

I have US T-mobile and it seems i'm not the only one.

ARHD12 and 2.24.707.3

I haven't got enough posts to post to the main ARHD thread, so i hope this thread will help.

I'm curently running RUU Stock 2.24.707.3 (801s HTC__044 PN0714000, Hong Kong, Singapore),

As ARHD FAQ says, firmware isn't included in the ROM, so my question is:

What should i do for flashing ARHD12? Do i need to make S-OFF (changing cid and mid) just for flashing 2.24.401.1 firmware first? Is it OK to flash ARHD12 (2.24.401.1) over RUU 2.24.707.3? Will it work properly?

I used to have ARHD12 over 1.29.707.3 and I experienced some bugs: sometimes no one was able to call me, though I had a full cell signal, so now I flashed RUU just to make everything right with help of xda society.

I have been doing this for some time so I am not a noobie but did something last night I don't know what happened. I have been using RayGlobe and reading about the Google Edition and found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358781.. I must not have read right or misunderstood the meaning and flashed according to the post and it changed the bootloader completely, it was the ordinary white with blue letters or ? the usual stuff . Now its a black background, pink,"unlocked" ,hboot 1.54.0000. OS is 2.24.401.1. I flashed back a backup to RayGlobe because the GE over heated with extended use and the battery life wasn't good, now every thing is the same as when I flashed the GE rom.

HTC One Developer Edition

I purchased the HTC One Google Edition, but after a week of working properly, it started "screeching" in the middle of a call, making conversation impossible. It even did this while talking to the Android Tech Support people, who noted it in my file. I then called HTC late last night, and they told me the phone is probably defective. So, as of next Monday or Tuesday, it is being returned.

Over the past week of struggling to read and understand what's posted on xda-developers, I decided two things. The first, is that it would be safest for me to simply buy a Nexus 4 and leave it alone until the Moto-X comes out. I really like the HTC One though, and enjoy what I'm reading here (even though I'm lost most of the time).

Bottom line is I just ordered the HTC One Developer Edition this morning, which will arrive on Monday.

Two basic questions:

If I try at some point to install "The Google Experience" onto my new phone, is it possible to make a backup of what I have now, so I can easily get back to the "like new" condition if I mess up somehow? (Can I have several ROMs installed simultaneously, picking the one I want to use?)

Is there a thread on xda-developers which explains specifically how to install the "stock Android" ROM on the phone, and explains what's happening for each of the steps, so I'll both know what to do, and why I'm doing it? Maybe that will help me learn how to do these things.

Thanks in advance.

Right now, I have CM10.1. I like the ROM, but I really miss the HTC's stock messaging app (or even the Galaxy S3's SMS). It was very nice and customizable. How can I disable my current SMS, and replace it with the stock SMS? I would prefer not to mess with ADB, but I will if it comes down to that. My phone (AT&T HTC One) has an unlocked bootloader and root.

Also, is there any way to know if a ROM I want to install has the stock messaging? For example, TrickDroid and AndroidRevolution have the stock messaging, while CM10.1 has an "older" one. Does this have to do with AOSP?

(If this has been answered in a guide somewhere, please redirect me. I don't enjoy asking questions that have been asked before, but this has been bugging me lately and I can't find a specific answer anywhere.)

SuperSU update issues

Jesus, after watching the n00b-video, I felt somewhat terrified of even considering of posting, but here goes; I´m using an HTC One, European carrier, just bought it. Rooted, and now I have some weird issues with superSU.

The binary (?) update doesn´t work, and sometimes the phone goes out of root. This is often resolved by rebooting. I´ve tried a dozen forum posts, not just on this site. My question is: WHAT DO I DO?? I´m not a total noob, just new to android and all this stuff. I also found out that I´ve installed superuser AND superSU. How does that even work?

Hey everyone,

I have now had my AT&T HTC One for 2 months. I am pretty unhappy with the battery life and have thought of flashing a ROM. I have done everything up to flashing the ROM. Since I will have to complete a full wipe in Aroma, will I lose all of my app data? (saves from games, etc.).

If so, does anyone know of any good methods to back this data up?

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikemyersgnex:
Before you try to fix the problem, it might be useful to know where the battery power is going.

First suggestion - download and install "Juice Defender" (and the "pro" add-on) and see if this improves things. This is fairly simple.

Second suggestion - download and install "Better Battery Stats", and learn how to use it. This should be able to tell you where your battery power is being wasted, allowing you to make changes in the right place.

My HTC One GE seems to be very efficient when it comes to battery life. Unless I'm doing things that eat up the battery quickly, the battery seems to last just under a full day of use.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinalutkarsh:
In their devices, HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.

Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.O.C:
Probably yes, either by removing the apps that link to the service or by removing the entries from a decompiled gallery.apk in its respective xml (or the methods from smali worst case scenario)

Simple answer yes, everything is possible, now even simpler, do not expect anyone to do it for you, try doing it yourself. Try looking at the HTC One predecesor's hacks (like the HTC One X+), It has already been done before ;), then you can easily apply previously gathered knowledge into current devices, that is how I would do it.

Hi Kartikp84,

If you don't know this tool; ROM Cleaner have a look at it, you can not imagine how stripped a ROM can be! Also if your phone is rooted and already running a custom ROM, there are good chances this can be an available option into Aroma installer if the ROM support this function.

The best for now is to give some time for the phone to be available.
