It doesn't get that far. I am on 4.4.3, get the notification to download the OTA for 5.0.2, download, it finishes downloading then straight away says "we have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software" as per screenshot. There is no wizard. The phone doesn't even start installing the update.

Converting HTC One M7 from GPE back to stock sense

Hey all,

I am new to a lot of this so sorry for any dumb questions.

I purchased HTC One M7 unlocked through Harvey Norman (HTC__039) (PN071*****).

I then converted it to GPE. All fine and everything is working well, OTAs and everything.

Just wondering, has anyone converted back to stock sense from GPE, and if so what steps did you take and what stock ROM did you use? I was wondering if it is possible to go back and make it as if it has never been converted to GPE in the first place.

Thanks for your help
[One (M7) General] Rupert_Murdoch:
No worries, where/how do I access the appropriate android.txt file? I presume it is in the OTA file, but that isn't available via htcdev.com yet, so I can't download it and look. If you can point me to an article or something, that would be awesome. Thanks for your help

edit: I found a tutorial for changing the MID, so thanks for pointing me in that direction, that's really helped me out.

Will changing the MID wipe my phone? I plan on flashing TWRP, using the MID changer, then reflashing the stock recovery which I just downloaded, and getting the OTA. I would prefer not to have to wipe the phone if I can avoid it. :)

edit: made a backup of the phone, and no a MID change doesn't wipe! Sweet....
[One (M7) General] poondog:
Hi, you can "convert" back to sense just by flashing sense firmware. All the conversion kit is the firmware incl. ROM, boot etc

imo you can flash the Lollipop ROMs, and there won't be another update for m7 since its old. If so there will probably be update for that ROM
[One (M7) General] theclaytons:
You can convert back to Sense by flashing firmware and RUU for your Phone. Make sure CID is 11111111 and MId matches firmware you flashing.

I presume you have SOff?

I converted last week and everything worked except OTA until I changed MID to correct. PN0710000

I received about 5 OTAs since and a, waiting for lollipop.

Search for firmware and RUU for 4.19.401.9

Flash firmware and then RUU without rebooting and it will work.

Difference between Dev Ed and Unlocked Ed?

Can anyone explain the difference between the dev edtion and unlocked edition of the M7? I see they both got the upgrade to lolipop at the same time. Is it just a CID/MID difference or is it a different ROM?

Hi all my M7 has just fried itself:( Had it on charge maybe 30min b4 going out. Jumped into my car & connected phone to my car stereo as normal-went to start Music Player & screen was black and would not turn on, Tried forced reboot via buttons § thats when things went bad....

Holding the home button l realised it was so hot it burnt my finger.. l could not touch it at all, hot as a stove element on high!

Made a beeline to the local phone repairer- l thought it was going to explode. Started to smoke& smel1-

Result- RIP M7 , BUT welcome to my world "note 4".... WOW...I am. totally blown away by-it.The SPen is by far. is my favourite tool plus action memo & Snote.

I personally think the M7 display is hard to beat- and I miss my notification LED....the note 4 Still has the one from the S3 which looks big and clumsy and not discrete and sexy Iike the M7.

Just wanted to say thanks to all for your help and for a great thread!! Thanks [MENTION=4036353]Deevan[/MENTION]:)

The best for all of us change mid/ cid and flash another WWE 401 firmware because Telstra will not update our device
[One (M7) General] PlayPetepp:
Tried that earlier today. Changed both mid and cid, downloaded the OTA and in stock recovery it said "/system/app/DocumentsUI.apk has unexpected contents" and stopped (red triangle with exclamation point). Then phone just rebooted. Any thoughts?

-. typewrited .-
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
My thoughts? The advice was for something different (update firmware only) to what you're trying to do (OTA = update ROM and firmware). I'm guessing the OTA has noticed the differences between the Aussie and WWE ROMs and is not attempting to patch an unknown file(s).

If you're S-OFF, you could flash a WWE RUU to completely convert then take any OTAs that are required to get to the latest.

Me personally, I'm content using a Lollipop ROM on Aussie firmware. Performance and battery life is fine, I doubt I'm going to get a discernible improvement. And the risk of not being able to restore to stock if I need the phone repaired? Now that I've looked inside our OTAs, I'm less certain that I could fully restore Australian firmware if I was to change it.
[One (M7) General] PlayPetepp:
I would like to keep completely stock with all my stuff on my phone and a RUU will erase everything. I'll just get those apks from somewhere here in the forums and try again. Damn Telstra, if I ever get another phone from them it'll be wiped and converted immediately.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
You can use this, stock Lollipop ROM with no changes, no root etc, and keep your sdcard contents

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2224752

And for God's sake, take a nandroid backup before doing anything! Especially before you start chopping and changing system components trying to get an OTA designed to patch a WWE phone to work on a Telstra phone
[One (M7) General] PlayPetepp:
Thanks, but I was referring to the data partition which will probably get overwritten. I already have telstra backup but that doesn't help in any way. Ohh, and btw that link you provided says "MOD WARNING: We have many reports that this doesn't boot so flash at your own risk."
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Aah, sorry I just grabbed the link from the ARHD thread but hadn't looked at the latest version.

I'm so used to using Titanium Backup that data partition wipes aren't a big deal for me.

Desperately seeking Telstra Nandroids

Hi everyone..

I am in dire need for a Telstra 6.11.841.9 nandroid backup at this moment. Have been stuck on trying to get S-off and with nothing working tried to return to stock using guru reset. Since I was already on 6.11.841.9 and Hboot 1.57, OTA on Guru Reset have resulted in boot loops.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can get me out this mess and share the nandroid backup. Thanks in anticipation.

[One (M7) General] deeevan:
[MENTION=5237402]TornadoF6[/MENTION] Never knew this could be an issue, did some interesting reading. When you're in fastboot mode, does it recognise when you're plugged into power vs USB vs nothing? eg. Does the screen change from FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT AC when it's plugged in?

It might be a hardware fault like dirty or corroded USB port?

[One (M7) General] deeevan:
No, I mean reboot into the bootloader (white screen with the various coloured writing), select fastboot, then start plugging your phone into charger, PC USB port etc. I'm curious to see whether the phone on a basic level (disregarding the ROM) is detecting what it's plugged into

On my phone: When in fastboot mode and plugged into a charger, the text on the screen changes from FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT AC

Need help unbricking a Telstra HTC One M7

I have a Telstra HTC One that failed a recent OTA update which left it at the red ! screen and constantly discharging the battery. I suspect the device power drained completely in the course of the update which caused this. It is my daughters phone and unfortunately still has data on it despite me advising her to back it up. I have tried all the stock recovery options but it doesn't change anything. Telstra didn't provide much assistance other than to advise that most likely the phone would simply be replaced, without any attempt to recover the data or to clean off any of the personal info etc.

I am not an HTC user myself, but reasonably handy with a PC and other comm's devices with regard to firmware and such. Research on this interweb thing and it seems I might need to take more drastic approach to try and recover the phone from it's current state. There are numerous posts and comments about this sort of thing but I am a bit confused by it all..

As it stands, I cannot get into the handset to set or change anything - I can get to the recovery and fastboot options but I am a bit cautious about doing to much until I am sure of what I am doing and that I have the right firmware/RUU etc. for the handset. There are plenty of warnings about being careful.. :)

The fastboot getvar all in from the phone is:

<bootloader> version: 0.5

<bootloader> version-bootloader: 1.57.0000

<bootloader> version-baseband: 4T.28.3218.04

I am assuming I need an RUU or Guru_Reset version of 6.11.841.9 (Telstra) or later? But I haven't been able to find one that accurately matches the info. Any suggestions where I can find such a beast?

Also, are there some simple, step by step, all inclusive (with links to all the required software and the like) instructions on how to perform the fix?

Hoping there are some knowledgeable people here that can point me in the right direction. Any help or suggestions gratefully received.
[One (M7) General] blood_talon:
I have tried the GURU reset and get stuck at the installation 10% (saying: "System is unmounted already"). I am using latest TWRP 2.8.6. and come from rooted stock 4.4.2 with modified /system partition as I have removed some unwanted bloatware.

Any clue about what could be the issue?

Thanks!
[One (M7) General] Joeisgood99:
Hi mate.

Not sure exactly.

It might be (this is a long shot) that you need to try an older version of TWRP. Sometimes if there is too much of an age difference between the the update binary in the META-INF folder and the program installing whatever, it can cause issues. Try a TWRP 2.6 OR 2.7. that would of been the version I made the stock recovery.img with.

I'm not a dev, so if anyone reading this knows I'm wrong please speak up.. Or if you know how to help.
[One (M7) General] Stevo52:
Is this the firmware:

<bootloader> version-main: 6.11.841.9

I haven't found anything that matches this - I have Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.841.1 but I am not sure if it is correct, so I haven't tried it..

it's all getting a bit too hard really and wasting a lot of my time trolling for info and files.. :(
[One (M7) General] Joeisgood99:
Wrong person.
[One (M7) General] Stevo52:
This handset is a Telstra one.. I think you might have my post/s mixed up with those from Blood_Talon perhaps?
[One (M7) General] Joeisgood99:
Whoops

Apologies to you and deeevan. I did mean to respond to Blood_Talon s post. Don't deviate from whatever path deeevan set you on :)
[One (M7) General] Stevo52:
No problem from this side.. I am not really following a path :) I am quite confused about what needs to be done and certainly can't find a firmware to match the handset.. I think the firmware version showing is actually from the failed update.. and I haven't found anything to match.. like I said it is all taking a lot of time and effort and probably is not worth the trouble of fixing? If the data is lost, it's lost - I did warn the owner of the risks of a handset with only internal memory - this is the result..
[One (M7) General] Joeisgood99:
Also [MENTION=1653884]blood_talon[/MENTION] did you flash the TWRP recovery.img of the stock rom before you ran the reset? If not, try that. ;)
[One (M7) General] blood_talon:
Do you mean restore to stock recovery?
[One (M7) General] Joeisgood99:
If you want OPTUS ota Def restore stock recovery when given option in aroma, but also before you use the GURU, download the TWRP backup of the stock rom I made, pretty sure the link was above the GURU download, if not, go to January posts in this thread, stick it in your phone where the other backups are kept, usually sdcard/twrp/backups/you're phone / - then "restore" restore the nand back of stock rom, then flash GURU. Also try an older twrp. You're the second person I know of that this didn't work, so let me know how you go.

Also check the original guru reset thread, as this had most likely happened to other people using other GURU resets!

Good luck.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
This isn't an RUU, can you please rename your post to not get people's hopes up that an RUU exists? Especially n00bs who will stumble upon it searching. You've made custom firmware.

RUU = ROM Update Utility, a Windows exe program that will wipe your phone and set it up fresh across all partitions, firmware and ROM.

Another note of caution: Can you link me to santod040's original firmware thread? Last time I looked at these modified hboot with the red warning removed, there was a risk of bricking if you tried to apply an update without reverting to your original hboot (which is why I've never used them)

First I'd try the small things:

Did you wipe data and system partitions before flashing?

Downgrade TWRP, maybe 2.6.3.3 as I think that was a popular "safe" choice back then

Then, fall back to using Joe's nandroid backup instea
[One (M7) General] blood_talon:
OK, thanks mate. I wasnt too sure what that first TWRP backup was for and thought that if I managed to reset using the GURU ROM then that would be enough. I will try and update later. Thx!
[One (M7) General] choochee:
I really want to go back to the latest 4.4, not liking lollipop at all. Just wanted to confirm it's easy to revert back to 4.4 and is there back rom of the latest unbranded 4.4?
[One (M7) General] blood_talon:
Yes, I did wipe /data and /system in TWRP and also in aroma installer. No, I havent tried to downgrade TWRP. I wasnt aware there was a safer version. Let me try that option first.

EDIT: downgrading TWRP to 2.6.3.3 did the trick.. Installed GURU ROM without any issue, installing 5.0.2 OTA update now. :laugh::laugh:

[One (M7) General] cjb101:
@ Joeisgood99 did you manage to create the OPTUS installable zip from the lollipop OTA?

Cheers
[One (M7) General] Joeisgood99:
Not yet

Had limited time to work on it. It's all done except...

Most custom roms use busy box to mount the system, cache and data partitions, when installing.

As this .zip is stock, and most people would of wiped these partition s before flashing (or a good updater script will reformat system and cache anyway) and the phone will no longer have busybox, I'm writing the update script to mount the system by name, or number as apposed to getting bb to do it.

The problem I'm having is (and I'm really just teaching my self as I go) is getting a combination of script and update binary that will mount /unmount all 3 partitions successfully.

The binary from the latest optus OTA gives different success /errors then the exact same script with a binary from say mike1983s installable system dump. I'm having the best success with an update binary that happened to be in a custom kernel . zip[MENTION=4379011]poondog[/MENTION] s Kk l think. The same script will mount 2/3 partitions even if you don't format them before hand. Why????? Beats me.

I don't know a thing about update binary s, had a poke around in one last night with a hex editor.

Any way will have time to look in to it this afternoon...

If anyone reading this knows what there doing, let me know.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
I'm curious, why would you want the OTA as a flashable zip? Compared to installing it via stock recovery or even fastboot flash zip?

What you're doing sounds interesting and educational, but who is it for? I can see it only being used for stock with custom recovery or stock rooted people, both of which are really quick things to revert, update, restore?
[One (M7) General] poondog:
You can include busybox in the zip and run it from like temp or something

:)
[One (M7) General] Joeisgood99:
That is what I'm resorting to....So wanted to do it without busy box.

Bit like when your a kid, and you v decided to build a bow and arrow, and your going to make the whole thing with just your pocket knife, and not use any of the tools from your Dads shed... I know I sound dumb.

Iv asked my self that question a few times.

Im surprised to have 2 ppl ask me if iv finished making it yet.

Before that, I was never going to upload it as you can just get a NAND made of stock....Making a stock NAND that included the preload folder was the original reason I started actually. More of a stubborn/Learning exercise for my self as my approach is the long way around....just giving people options i suppose.
[One (M7) General] poondog:
Try without recovery too
