My One was 1.29.980.17 with VODAP021 prior to conversion to GPE 4.2.2. So looks like it was a newer version of the firmware. I do have a nandroid of it, but was setup already and not fully factory fresh. Not that that would have helped with you needing an RUU.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Yeah, a RUU would be great. If your phone was S-OFF and in a state where you could change CID, you could run any RUU, right? My request for a copy of the OTA is mainly to get the firmware.zip inside, and figure out what else is needed to restore a phone fully to Australian stock.
[One (M7) General] jwtrockz1998:
Yeah I did take a backup and backed it up to my computer when before I ran the Google edition ruu, but my hdd died and I have been having a hard time trying to get back to stock but I figured that

1. Change my RUU and then flash the 1.44 hboot

2 flash twrp and install backup

3. Flash stock recovery (anyone know where k can get this?)

4. Lock bootloader

5. Update to 4.2.2 ota

Is this correct?
[One (M7) General] bwhinnen:
I have the stock recovery.img from an AU Vodafone handset running 4.1.2 (hboot 1.44). But the backups on the page before this one, the first link should contain a stock recovery.img in it. Otherwise let me know and I can host the recovery.img I have for you.
[One (M7) General] Jikstah:
I can't see any links on any of your past posts, I too would also like the stock recovery.img :)

[One (M7) General] wckong:
Has anyone with an unbranded model with software version 1.29.980.17 updated their phone to 4.2.2? If so, could you please share the new software version and radio version numbers that came with the OTA?

I am considering using a custom rom, and ideally would like to find one that is based on the same 4.2.2 version while also selecting the correct corresponding radio (MID=PN0714000 CID=HTC__039).

Thanks.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
That would be me! I went from 1.29.980.17 to 2.24.980.2. I posted the radio version a couple pages back in this thread.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

1. What do you mean by change my RUU? Basically you need to update everything not covered by a nandroid (firmware, radio, bootloader aka hboot)

2. Are you using a twrp backup? CWM and TWRP backups are not compatible with each other's recovery

3. Everyone else has answered this. There's a link in wonaldng's post before my backup links post

4. I left my bootloader unlocked and still received the OTA
[One (M7) General] jwtrockz1998:
1. I meant MID cause it was PN014000 but it is now PN012000 and I will follow that guide again and then flash the 1.44 hboot from one of the other forums

2. I will use whatever custom recovery the backup was made with

3. I will leave my bootloader open then

Also does the backup come with the stock recovery and where can I get the radio and firmware cause I thought hboot and firmware were the samthing?

So I guess I

- Change MID and Flash 1.44 Hboot

- Flash over CWM Recovery and Restore from Backup

- Install Radio

- Reboot and install OTA?

Thanks

Ok thanks, I really have the unbranded NZ model but I contacted HTC and they ship the same model to Australia and NZ so I should be able to use the stock Auzzie stuff right?
[One (M7) General] danallraj:
Hi blazerxzero, did you manage to fix your issue? I'm having the same problem and i'm still having no luck even after reflashing stock recovery.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
I retract that statement. I was thinking about going back to complete 1.29 stock, you just need enough to get the OTA.

Radio doesn't matter. rilxous did have touchscreen issues in 1.29 rom with 2.24 firmware though.
[One (M7) General] jwtrockz1998:
I now have the 1.29.980.17 recovery (thanks bwhinnen) and was wondering if I can use this with the 1.29.980.2 stock backup that was posted a few pages back to get the OTA to 4.2.2? Thanks
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Sigh...

The 1.29.980.2 stock backup contains the stock recovery. And wonaldng linked to and posted that he used the 2.17.401.1 stock recovery to get the 4.2.2 OTA. So you have an abundance of options.
[One (M7) General] jwtrockz1998:

Hi fellow aussie one users

I've been loving this phone, but I've developed an unfortunate sound issue (I've posted a question on xda but not hopeful of an answerhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397819.As such I've got to get this bad boy back to stock so I can get it repair/replace ...etc.

I've been reading the forums but I was just hoping for some advice from people who know better than myself. So......

I have an unbranded Australian one, HTC_039 which I believe had 1.29.980.17 or 2 originally.

Since then I've: unlocked bootloader, rooted, S-Off, Super CID, upgraded the firmware the latest WWE 2.24.401.12, have a 1.55 Hboot and twrp. I havent changed the MID.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a RUU in my searches so I figure I will:

1.) Downgrade Hboot back to 1.44 as outlined by SneakyGhost

2.) Reflash 1.29.980.2 firmware... but I'm not sure where I could find this?

3.) Doing so will get rid of the custom recovery so I'll reflash twrp if needed?

4.) Flash my nandroid back up I made after first flashing the custom recovery back on if needed. (I'm not sure if this includes the original recovery or not)

5.) If needed reflash stock recovery

6.) Change back CID to HTC_039

7.)Use revone to relock bootloader, unroot and S-on

Does anyone see a problem with this? Or any other suggestions?

Would I be better using the CWRP nandoird backups posted on this forum?

Thanks for any help any one can offer.
[One (M7) General] jwtrockz1998:

Stock Recovery

Hi all, I'm pretty new to Android only having had my M7 for a few weeks now, in that time I've rooted, unlocked, twrp, s-off & supercid my device, now I'm getting an ota notification every 30min and I'm just canceling them when they appear for now as I know it will fail if I try.

This M7 is Australian with stock 4.1.2 and the original cid was OPTUS001 I know I need the stock recovery to get the ota and this is where I am lost I don't have a backup of the stock recovery so I have no idea what to flash, I done the rooting, unlocking and custom recovery through the aio tool for the M7.

Sorry if this is a noob question but I have been looking for most of the day trying to find a stock recovery for my device and have had no luck, I have seen I can manually update it seen as I'm supercid but the manual download file size is like 40mb and the ota one is like 450mb so don't want to mess with it seen as the files are so different.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[One (M7) General] rilxous:
Firmware file from 2.24 update. Would be interesting if we can get the 1.29.980.2 firmware somewhere....

AFAIK you can flash any stock recovery as mentioned by deevan et. al. several post bacj. Heck i even use the stock recovery from mike thread to restore my phone back to stock without any problem.
[One (M7) General] Sojourner353:
Thanks for the info, I tried them links earlier but was getting 404 error, they are working now though, cheers.
[One (M7) General] Sojourner353:
So I flashed in the stock recovery and all went well, then had the phone download the ota, once finished it started the update procedure but the progress bar stopped about 1/4 through then I get a red triangle with exclamation, feared a brick but I rebooted from hboot and everything is still there but no update.

Do I need to lock the bootloader prior to the ota update or turn s-on or change the supercid back to default? Bit confused but appreciate the help, just don't want to brick the phone doing this, cheers.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
I updated with unlocked bootloader, S-OFF, HTC__039 CID. I don't know if CID matters, but it can't hurt to revert it. A few people have said it took a few attempts for the OTA to apply.
[One (M7) General] Ali Baba 84:
Thanks Rilxous

Hopefully this should work. I might CID back to HTC_039 so I can't brick it if its not going to work?

Do you know if this contains the 1.55Hboot, i.e should I still downgrade my Hboot to 1.44 first?

Cheers
[One (M7) General] Sojourner353:
Have decided I'm going to go a custom rom instead of stock and trying to ota update, from the sound of some of them they can really improve some things in the os, only just found out about custom roms a couple of hrs ago lol, what are people's preferences in this thread?
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Is 1.55 a typo? Here's what my phone was on after updating:

Software version: 2.24.980.2

Hboot 1.54

Radio 4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L

Given that you're already on 2.24 firmware, I think it'd be easier to convert your phone to Australian 2.24 stock than go back to 1.29
[One (M7) General] jwtrockz1998:
Hey would it be possible for you to extract the hboot (bootloader of the 1.29.980.2) so I can flash that, or is it just the 1.44 hboot?

Thanks
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
1. I've already updated to 1.54

2. hboot isn't backed up by recovery, and I don't think there is a way to back it up. I've only seen it as part of firmware.

3. I'm pretty sure hboot isn't CID/carrier specific, and yes it was 1.44.

I'll only deviate from stock when I have a rollback procedure, so I never mucked around with firmware when I was on 1.29. Now that I have the 2.24.980.2 firmware from rilxous (thanks!), I'll have a think about it.
[One (M7) General] jwtrockz1998:
OK Thanks, is your model number PN014000 cause I just need to make sure.

Thanks
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
Hi gents, i'm in the same boat now, updated to 4.2.2 and thought WTF i lost 10gb, so i stupidly went to CWM and decided to start fresh by formatting SD card

Now im totally stuck :( with a non S-OFF HTC one

What can i do to fix the SD card folders? can TWRP or CWM create folders? or is there an RUU for the HTC___0039 now?
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Read up about sideloading a ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2318497
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
yeah thanks mate, been doing that for the entire last night (5 hours worth), but not go, i get the error:

installing '/data/media/sideload.zip'

checking for md5 file...

skipping md5 check: no MD5 file found.

i think part of the problem is that i no longer have a /sdcard/media/0 directory, all i have is /sdcard which i cannot mount/dismount

from my understanding, there is no RUU for HTC__039 right?

update:

using CWM, i get a diff error for sideload

"failed to open driver control: no such file or directory"
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Oh. It's probably not reassuring to read that twerg ended up sending his phone back.

What can you do on your phone - you're booting into CWM recovery... What about adb shell? It'd be good to see where your sideload.zip is located, and if it can be moved to /data/media
[One (M7) General] twerg:
Bugger mate, sorry to hear about that.

Same error as I had, that Data/media/0 or sdcard/media/0 folder gets deleted and there is not way to mount SD card or re-create the dir/folder using TWRP or CWM.

Also no RUU's available for AUS firmwares (at least mine anyway) so really up that well known creek.

I spent about 3 days trying to fix mine before giving up, tried absolutely everything I could includjng others helping.

I was able to sideload a couple of roms but they would not boot at all, a CM rom would go to boot screen and stay there till phone got hot and battery dead.

This issue really needs to be made more important, perhaps a sticky warning thread or more highlighted on all rom threads.

My One has been with Vodafone for repairs for last 2 weeks, have not heard back from them yet, and not covered by warrantee..

Good luck, reckon yiu will have to send it in too
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
ok so far i can do the following:

Go into Fastboot

Go into any custom recovery

from any custom recovery, i can see /sdcard, however, there are no directories underneath it, However! when i tried to go mount/dismount, SD card does not show up.

I can send via sideload, but after 100% sending, the installation will fail stating above errors.

I can adb push to /sdcard, but after when i try to install from zip, it again fails saying that no md5 check

I'm sure there HAS to be a way to get the directories back, i just wish i'd did S-OFF before hand so i can install an RUU.

I also tried to flash a stock recovery, (but if someone can confirm and link me a stock recovery for 4.2.2 that would be fantastic, or if someone knows of an RUU that i can use with HTC__0039 that would be tops)

Right now i think theres 2 ways, either i get it back for an exchange, or wait for an S-OFF for 1.54hboot. Unless someone else have had this issue and was able to fix it.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
How about adb push /data/media instead of /sdcard? My guess is something thinks your sdcard is at /data/media/0 while something else thinks it's at /data/media.
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
Yeah i'm thinking that, i was reading all your threads on the issue and was crossing my fingers and toes that you've found a solution. In my mind though, if i can get into fastboot and also able to use adb commands, it can't be bricked...its only when the computer can't detect anything or cannot get into fastboot where its totally bricked.

I doubt i'd get to the bottom of this but, will prolly have to follow your path.

i also agree that there should be a note stating NEVER TO FORMAT internal storage, god i wish i'd read your post first.
[One (M7) General] twerg:
I dont think anything gets written/saved to the phone when you sideload with this issue, for me at times it would seem a rom was flashed, could get aroma working but there was never any rom.zip found anywhere o the phone, eg searching via file browser in TWRP. SD Card in nor R/W seems read only and blank at that too
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
this is a great idea! i just tried it cause it made sense since SDcard and /data/media had the same structure, but unfortunately, when i try to install it from zip, it states that its unable to mound SD card.

but i think you're pointing me to the right track, something about symbolic link is stuffing up here.
[One (M7) General] twerg:
I read somewhere here that the symlink get broken when you flash a 4.2.2 rom to a 4.1.2 firmware, to fix it you need to create a new one to the right location the points to the SD Card. Obviously the sd card is now screwed though..

I dont know jow to symlink so dont know if itll work..
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
does anyone know how to create folders using just custom recoveries?

oh i also have a previous backup of 4.1.2 on nandroid. but its not a zip file, anyway i can use that to restore my settings after upgrading to 4.2.2?
[One (M7) General] twerg:
I could not find anyway to create folders in the 2 recoveries, tried hard to find a feature. Also could not find a way to create foldees with adb either.. i did have a nandroid backup but got lost with the sd card format.. i downloaded 2 bqckups, on CWM and one TWRP and neither worksed as you can not save them to the mobile

I even tried saving rom zips and backups to usb and used OTG cable but no sucess
[One (M7) General] jwtrockz1998:
Hi

um is this to restore as a backup via cwm or flash it?
[One (M7) General] angusc:
This is a different approach, but how about installing an ENG HBOOT and then changing your MID and CID and then flashing the international 1.28.401.7 which then gives you OTA up to 4.2.2?

See this thread for detail and the last 5 pages for all links to international RUU.

Oh, you need to be S-Off to change MID.

I haven't used it but isn't AROMA File Manager supposed to give you filesystem access in recovery? Is your phone responding to adb shell?Can you please run these commands and paste the output? twerg got me curious about the filesystem and permissions, let's see if there's something off with yours.

When not in recovery:

adb shell mount

adb shell ls -l /sdcard

adb shell ls -lR /mnt/shell

When in recovery:

adb shell mount

adb shell ls -l /sdcard

adb shell ls -l /data/media

Your 4.1.2 nandroid will wipe 4.2.2 if you restore from it, but I think TitaniumBackup and other apps can read from a nandroid backup and selectively restore.

What's the error? There's a message about skipping secure something when you don't have encryption turned on, but that's not an issue.

[One (M7) General] twerg:
Reflash perhaps.. I could not flash a backup as my CID is/was VODAP021, there are only HTC__039 ones available, so sounds like you have gotten just that little bit further than I could. Again, good luck
[One (M7) General] jwtrockz1998:
I tried to restore to it a second time but still the same thing, I currently have supercid could that be something that is screwing out up for me?

Unfortuantely he could not get it fixed/working either - you could give him a go, he knows his business quite well..

As I said, in for repairs with my carrier, hope it is savagable (and they update to 4.2.2 for me)..
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
This was the exact same problem that i was having :(

Basically was Rooted but S-ON before 4.2.2 upgrade, decided to relock and update to 4.2.2, after update i noticed that i was missing 10gb from storage, and thought WTF i'll start clean, so i restored to an eariler backup of 4.1.2 which i did, so i could take everything out of the SD card back before the upgrade state... but once i flash 4.1.2... omgwtfbbq the capacitive touch screen no longer works, but all physical buttons are working fine.

So i then went into recovery and thought i'd start clean by formatting all partitions and try again, that was my biggest mistake as now i have no access to the internal SD card, can't mount it or do anything.

As for the Nandroid backup posted by deeevan, i could not restore it as it was complaining about a secure android permission/mount. did you have Avast installed ?

Anyway, i might consider taking it back it to get it fixed.

But before i do, gonna spend a few hours tonight with more trial and errors, but if a guy with 3 years experience can't do it, i doubt i can do much

[One (M7) General] deeevan:
I went back to your older posts to see what you are trying to revert back from, Google Edition RUU right? A RUU contains everything, so you've upgraded firmware as well. The touch panel drivers in the newer firmware don't work with a 4.1.2 ROM (which the 1.29.980.2 backup is). rilxous found the right drivers, but I don't think you can get back to 1.29 stock enough to fool HTC after upgrading firmware.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

How about when you're not in fastboot? I'm guessing you'd be stuck on a splash screen, does the phone respond to adb then?

Hmm.. I was hoping for something more like this:

ls -la /sdcard

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 11 12:53 /sdcard -> /data/media

ls -la /data/media

drwxrwx--- 5 media_rw media_rw 4096 Aug 11 03:57 .

drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 01:37 TWRP

Can you do a ls -la /data so I can see the permissions on /data/media too? The /sdcard symlink is missing, but who knows what else is wrong.

[One (M7) General] Rex2369:
I feel for those who have issues with going back to stock, formatting the internal memory and for flashing things which ended up stuffing up their phone. In a way it is good that they stuffed up their phone because it will be a lesson learned.

Always read up before taking the plunge into anything. I myself make sure I do proper research before doing anything with HTC phones. If people don't understand the concept of rooting and flashing HTC phones they should not touch it or be at least prepared to spend a lot of time reading before anything.

I have managed to S-OFF and use stock 2.24 with no issues

Sideloading problems

If you accidently wiped your data partition you should definitely be able to recover from this using the adb sideload feature built into to TWRP (CWM has this feature as well but I like TWRPs better). Please make sure that the ROM you try and sideload does not have an Aroma-based installer. This will likely stuff up as the sideloading feature doesn’t seem to play nicely with Aroma. If you have problems sideloading using Windows I suspect it me be a driver issue (even if ADB normally works). I recommend attempting the sideload from a Mac or Linux machine instead.
[One (M7) General] twerg:
Yeah thanks Rex. Have been doing this for many years, its not hard to do with a bit or research and common sense.

Unfortunately this particular issue was not clearly documented or discussed until recently.

Thanks for telling its a lesson learnt, we all take risks and accept different risk levels, thats why we are here..
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Cheers, I didn't know that about Aroma and sideload. HTC Sync Manager wreaked havoc in Windows (I had a usb key refuse to be recognised until I uninstalled it), I'm not surprised by driver issues too. If MacHacks couldn't resolve it, twerg's phone was probably truly borked but I hope he checked drivers.
