Yeah, I saw the post but have not read it, poor bloke, feel for him.. I actually thought Vodafone may have lost mine too but apparently not.

Vodafone are totally and utterly confused.

They told me the phone is now not considered Water Damaged but software bricked (based on a statement of mine in an email I believe) and unrepairable, I asked for evidence on how they changed their mind but none provided.

I said I was going to the TIO, they made me a new offer, still the 'as new' refurbished handset but with $149.05 credit to may account (so phone would cost me $149.05) I accepted quote and went to the store to arrange delivery. The $149.05 has already be applied to my account too.

Once at the store the store guy called the Repair Centre and was advised that now the Repair Team/Vodafone want to repair my phone for free under warranty, I and the guy are now really confused, it is deemed to be unrepairable and I had accepted the quote. They have changed their story once again. Their Team Leader of Tech Support was meant to call me last night but the call did not come.

It does not help their case that they are so indecisive and so careless with their responses to me, I have 6000+ words written up in a document or the TIO if it gets to them. I also work in a Tech Support department for a Telecommunications reseller (adsl and mobile data etc support) I know how things work and what I have done to the phone so really I am going to see through their inconsistent statements.

The store guy also told me that they are actually receiving quite a few HTC Ones returned back to them, particulary after the 4.2.2 undate was released, he said it had some issue when first went out that had to have a fix applied??

Anyway, I have emailed them again after this latest episode and no reply yet.. This is doing my head in.. I think I have them running scared or something, I actually still think they have not fully inspected my phone

I successfully locked bootloader with s-on then I tried to update 4.2.2 OTA but it just rebooted on first time, second time booted into bootloader and it has "TAMPERED" now..

why tampered appears now??
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
Lol smooth move taking the OTA without s-off... I hope it didn't take for your sake.

How do you propose to downgrade if you're on the 1.54 hboot now?

The tampered flag appears when there's evidence of root on the phone.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
I am on 1.44 hboot.

I dont understand why did OTA failed and showing TAMPERED.

So tampered appears only when phone is rooted?
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
Correct - you should s-off set SuperCID 11111111 and retry the OTA.

You didn't need to relock your BL, you just need to have a stock recovery.

That's how I took the Telstra OTA
[One (M7) General] reservin:
I am trying to make it complete stock for warranty..

I wouldnt be able to s-on if I update while s-offed.
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
Yeah, you could you just wouldn't be able to get s-off back once it's updated because of the new hboot.

You can use revone to get rid of the tampered flag and you can also use it to show as locked not relocked.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
Thats what I did.

I removed TAMPERED and locked bootloader with s-on.

Back to completely stock, but I am scared to take OTA, since it failed already.

My phone is not rooted since root checker said no access to root..

I have no idea why OTA failed. Is it really checking ROM and firmware.zip if those are matching? :confused:
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
I wouldn't of even taken the OTA, I'd just get it back to stock, take it in and let them sort it out if it's for warranty.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
I was going to, but then I downgraded hboot to 1.44 by flashing Europe RUU.

Therefore radio baseband is different from aussie stock.

Thats why I was going to take OTA to make radio baseband updated to aussie. :confused:
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
I don't know if the radio version changes depending on your provider but I've got both Telstra radio's in a flashable if needed.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
Is your baseband 4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L.?

Mine is 4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05L which is from European 1.29.401 RUU

I wonder if I Telstra uses same firmware.zip as unbranded.. But I bet it is more reasonable than European?

Can you upload Telstra's radio please? I can still flash that with s-on and locked right?

Hope it is ok to flash Telstra firmware.zip :laugh:
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
You might be able to flash it through fastboot if you're s-off but otherwise you'd need at least BL unlock and custom recovery.

http://db.tt/Ui9db5Tj - 4.1.2 Radio

http://db.tt/l7pcnyxh - 4.2.2 Radio
[One (M7) General] reservin:
So is this flashable in custom recovery?

Or do I need to use fastboot flash zip firmware.zip??

Thanks!:good::good:
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
They're not signed so you would need to be s-off for fastboot otherwise custom recovery.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
I tried s-off and unlock bootloader, but didnt work.

So I factory reset from menu, this reboot into bootloader and another TAMPERED and security warning..

WTF is wrong with my phone..
[One (M7) General] angusc:
I think he said you just flash via Custom recovery.....

Have you read this post about flashable raidos? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2245615

I have been watching your recent progress.....I think you should slow down and read up a bit more before getting yourself in to any bother...... :p
[One (M7) General] reservin:
Yeah, I read it before, but there is some CWM flashable and some not flashable.

If CWM is asking if I want to have root access when I press reboot, this mean my rom isnt rooted right?

I dont know why even factory restoring gives TAMPERED..

This is so messed up.. ulock s-off, lock s-on, unlock s-off :eek:
[One (M7) General] reservin:
[MENTION=5184891]deeevan[/MENTION]

Sorry about bothering you, but regarding your 1.29 nandroid backup, does it have stock recovery installed or CWM(TWRP)?

I think I used wrong recovery img that makes TAMPERED. I used 9.4mb recovery.img before and now I have 16mb recovery.img:confused:

So if your nandroid includes stock recovery, I wouldnt need to find a way to extract recovery from RUU..
[One (M7) General] Joshaldo:
I just updated to 4.3 arhd ROM. My phone is s off, would I better running the radio in the latest firmware or the Telstra radio? My phone is originally from Telstra
[One (M7) General] poondog:
Probably won't make much difference but imo its best ri have a firmware version matching what the ROM is

But then that goes out the window when you start porting Roms so I think it really doesn't matter.

Unless you find out otherwise by testing :P

I'd assume though that Telstra/optus/Vodafone radios are optimized for their coverage etc though
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
[MENTION=2334650]reservin[/MENTION] I agree with angusc on this. Every time I come back to XDA, you've jumped onto your next idea. Some of your actions and comments show a lack of understanding (eg. wanting to update radio, not being able to tell if you are rooted) that luckily hasn't gotten you into a situation you can't back out of, but you're causing more issues to deal with. Remove the tampered flag with revone. Don't do anything else until you've walked it through, confirmed it through reading or asking XDA, and understand what you'll end up with after doing it.

Radio is not firmware. If this is something you believed, you do need to read up before proceeding. Right now you have a European 1.29.401.x phone with Australian 1.29.980.17 ROM. Updating your radio isn't going to change that. I originally typed 'Australian stock ROM', but I don't know this.

Here's some questions I think need resolving (and if I had the answer I'd have told you):

- Is this dead pixel really worth it? Have HTC confirmed they will repair a dead pixel after 3 months? You have a working phone right now, but you might not if you stuff something up in the quest for absolute stock.

- Why did the 2.24.980.2 firmware.zip not work? Someone posted some commands and asked if you followed them. Did you post your commands or the error received? If you'd stuck with working on this issue, you might have been done by now instead of dealing with European firmware, OTA requirements and tampered flags.

- Why did the OTA not work? What are the reasons for an OTA failing, and which categories did you fall into? Double check all of this before proceeding.

- What happens when you apply an OTA to a phone with non-matching firmware? I know people changed their CIDs to HTC__Y13 to get the first 2.24 OTA, so it's possible but in what state will your phone end up in? They might have been people who didn't care about being stock or were .401 anyway, is this the right path for you?

Oh I just saw your question about stock recovery. If you manage to find my post in this thread with the link to the backup but not manage to find the numerous times I've answered this (including just above the link), I give up. As awesome as it's been for upping my post count, I think I'll create a signature to answer once and for all.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
Thank you for replying.

First, service center agreed with swapping to new handset. So I am trying to get stock..

Second, with 2.24.980.2 firmware.zip, I was stupid enough to try copying firmware.zip into internal SD card..:silly:

Third, as soon as I tried to install OTA, it rebooted into bootloader and gave me "TAMPERED"..:confused:

(I think maybe 9.4mb recovery.img was not for Australian. I know everyone is saying it is universal, but someone in whirlpool gave me 16mb recovery.img from his vodafone One.

I made all stock with locked and s-on and updating OTA gave me "TAMPERED" then factory reset gave me another "TAMPERED"

I am not going to buy HTC again.. Samsung was so much easier..:crying:

Lastly, I used 1.29.40.16 RUU to make complete stock(European), I will restore your nandroid backup (since it contains stock recovery) then lock, s-on then OTA.

Downloading 1.29.980.2.stock.zip =D

BTW, how do I restore this? CWM or TWRP? because CWM backup and TWRP backup are even different..?
[One (M7) General] gregneal:
Yeah, totally blame the company for your own incompetence.

As there's no RUU for your version, you could try getting a partition dump from a stock htc one of the same variant as yours and then flashing the right partitions.

If you don't want to mess with that I'd recommend just running the European WWE RUU and return it with s-on, locked. doubt they'd notice.
[One (M7) General] twerg:
From Vodafone today;

"I've just submitted an order to have a new HTC One (silver 32GB) handset sent to the address you provided, as we didn't have any refurbished handsets in stock.

The charge will remain as $298.10 with a 50% waiver, that's already been applied to your account."

Looks like I may have won, will have to wait till its in my hand but good outcome.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
I fixed it in the end.

Flashed European RUU then restore nandroid backup from deeevan with 16mb stock recovery then OTA.

So finally I got pure stock HTC one in the end.

Thank you for pointing my incompetence out. It was very helpful.

Aussie 4G with International Version??

Hey guys, wonder if you'd mind helping out a massive HTC noob?

I have a factory unlocked, international version HTC One M7 which I purchased from the US Amazon site and am currently using in China.

In a couple of months I'm going to be moving to Australia and I'm wondering if this phone will work on the Australian 4G network.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks heaps :laugh:
[One (M7) General] khonastoid:
Probably not. It would probably be running with American basebands (especially with 4G, as the americans use different bands to us). HSPA+ might work, although i'm not too sure about that.

if you want to figure out whether it'd work, go check your model number at google and look hard enough and you should be able to find a list of its basebands (2G = insert numbers, 3G = bleh, 4G = so on) and see if it matches up with what Australian carriers offer (4G is at 1800mHz and 3G varies between 850, 900 & 2100)
[One (M7) General] Nightside Eclipse:
Thanks for the info Khonastoid,

I went ahead and typed my IMEI into a site that gives you phone info based on that and it told me HSDPA: 900 2100 and LTE: 800 1800 and 2600.

According to that I can conclude that it should work fine on the 1800 baseband right?

Thanks for your help:good:
[One (M7) General] angusc:
Interesting, please could you provide the web link for that site?

[One (M7) General] deeevan:
"International version" is very ambiguous. I know on launch, Amazon UK and Germany sold the model suited to their country.

Get the CID getter app from the Play Store. Run it and look for something like [ro.aa.modelid]: PN0710000

Compare your model ID to the ones listed in the diagram in the HTC variants thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2223236
[One (M7) General] Nightside Eclipse:
Thanks guys,

Angus, that site was imei (dot) info

deeevan, I got my model id using the CID Getter app and found it is PN0712000 which according to the diagram in that thread is the US market version. Unfortunately that suggests I'm out of luck I guess. :p
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
You might also want to go with Telstra to make use of the 850MHz 3G network. None of the US phones support 900MHz, and I don't know how widespread 2100MHz coverage is.
[One (M7) General] twerg:
Vodafone also do 3g on 850mhz and 2100mhz
[One (M7) General] angusc:
Well PN0712000 will be good to get the next release of 4.3 maybe you have to change your CID to BS_US001 to match the developers edition for the OTA. Also would have to flash the HTC DEV Edition RUU that ids freely available on the HTCDev site to be able to get the 4.3 OTA.

I'm using my DEV Edition in Australia on Telstra and I'm happy with the 3g speeds but then I have never experienced 4G yet so that might be why......

Got a HTC One back today, came to the store rather to my home, just picked it up.

Email stated could not repair, no refurbished handsets and a new one was to be sent via post...

The handset looks in good nick, has 1.29.980.17 on it rather than what mine had 1.29.980.2 and is obviously not upgraded to 4.2.2, it is a swap of handsets from somewhere else it seems.

I wonder if this is further confusion of Vodafones and they are still also sending out a new handset to me too, as the store did not say anything about this..
[One (M7) General] twerg:
LOL.. As above I have received a repaired HTC One which I have upgraded to OTA 4.2.2, running well.

Today just now the Aus Post courier just dropped off a boxed HTC One, so I now have two Ones..

Can only assume the repair centre have repaired/swapped my phone and Voadfone Support have also chosen to provide a new one too, my mind boggles..

Then the refurb had a crap sim tray and a faulty power button.. so thats gone back too and I am fighting for a new one. I think Vodafone is looking good for next upgrade

Bugger dude, that sucks about your One, seems so many issues with our phones...

Yeah, I think it's robbery that we send a phone in for repairs and they want to resolve by giving refurbish models. I reckon because it is easier than opening they up to repair. Don't agree with warranted phones being replaced with returned repaired phones, why can't they do the same to yours? I.e. repair it same as a refurb

Just keep on top of them, request a repair be done returned in same physical cosmetic condition or replace with new model stating TIO if you stuff you around..

I have ended up with 2 Ones after my episode with Vodafone, 1 new and 1swap/referb, has cost me about $149.05 - I think it was a mistake on Vodafones part as they were confused as hell.
[One (M7) General] poondog:
Completely sucks because now I am stuck with my incredible S. It is a robbery, their policy was under 30 days brand new phone, my phone was 45 days how am I supposed to know its gonne stop working two weeks out of warranty period? It was basically a brand new phone, mint condition not a scratch or anything that is why I was pissed. Its not like I dropped it or anything, in which case its understandable to get a refurb but a brand new phone without an imperfection? Come on

I am pushing for a new phone, which I think I deserve because of whats happened. It broke itself, like I mean it is 100% their fault. I don't think I can ask about my old device because that is way gone in sydney somewhere at Optus "repair" center

So why did it cost you $149?

Nobody wanted Abbott in but voted libs just so the Labor/rudderless wasn't in...
[One (M7) General] twerg:
Sounds like to me a manufacture defect that should be covered for 2 years warranty no matter what. Same belief as me, if we caused the issue/fault then a refurb is expected but a natural brakedown of the phone not user caused should be a fully repaired same phone or new replacement. Stand your ground, state you will not accept a refurb phone that has previously been declared not fit for retail then repaired or someone elses faulty handset repaired when yours was brand new in perfect condition except for this manufacture damage and should be repaired like any other phone that will become a refurb.

Mine cost $149 due to the misleading BS Vodafone gave me in terms of its repair, stating water damage when I clearly told them software damage, lies and changing of their stance in what they can do for its repair, I had enough of their crap and mismanagement of my case so I threatened TIO.. Now I have 1 new handset and 1 refurb handset lol. Was charged $298.10 im told with a $149.05 credit to my account. Time will tell if they catch on to their error, I was dealing with their Social Media Department and direct to Tech Support, think they sent it back to me, no communication between departments.. Though I am covered because I told them in person and in email that I accepted the new handset offer and they were also sending me back my repaired phone too... Win.
[One (M7) General] poondog:
Its complete bs this stuff

Problem is, I can't take it to HTC (I think?) because I got it from Optus, but optus is screwing around with this so I dunno who to take it to. I guess the replacement was "repaired" but then it broke... again not my fault but it pissed me off anyway. Regardless, the fact that I have taken the refurb sort of happily, accepted it then it broke made me go for that new phone

That's vodafone repair right? At least you got a new phone... another problem with mine was that it seemed to come with a stock 4.2.2 ROM but an optus CID. I didn't want to take the risk of not being able to s off AND not getting ota's because of confused phones. I doubt it but it was not worth the risk

I am *not* accepting a refurb with dodgy software that can't be s offed, a dodgy sim tray because my phone was perfect, it was theiur fault. Plus, I am still paying them $65 a month for the phone. Different if it was like a $200 phone or I dropped it

tl;dr I am sick of this shut, don't go Optus if you have the chance to go with someone else. I think if we both went with Telstra they would have had no problems issuing us with new handsets with no problems whatsoever, its the service you pay for

Hey guys,

I've made an account here to ask a question which I am having a little bit of trouble with. Please keep in mind that I am a bit of a novice when it comes to this. I unlocked the boot loader and rooted my HTC One, installed Cyanogenmod. All fine and dandy, until a few weeks ago, where I needed to back to stock.

I swapped from TWRP to CWM recovery and have lost my orignal backup on my stock rom. My phone is an unlocked one bought from **** Smith with CID: HTC_039. A user has posted about a month ago the link to download this and the stock recovery. However, I am stuck on what to do from here, I tried to install it as a nandroid backup on CWM and have had no luck. I have also tried a bunch of solutions from hours of internet searching for a solution.

I haven't looked through the entire thread, I just don't have the hours that that would take. If anyone can help me it would be amazing, i'm a complete novice in a bit of a pickle.

Thanks!
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Can you please provide the exact steps you've been performing? And what isn't working? What errors are you getting, are you not seeing the backup etc?
[One (M7) General] Mikeologos:
I'll rephrase my question, its not about getting errors or anything not working. It's that I'm not quite sure how to go about getting my phone back to stock. I have downloaded the above files, however all the tutorials I have seen floating around involve an RUU. Which according to people on whirlpool doesn't exist for Australian models yet.

What I really need is a tutorial or some steps on how to get everything back to stock and re-lock the bootloader. Sorry if the question wasn't very clear - I haven't got too much knowledge on the subject.
