I provided the nandroid backup for 2.24.980.2 and I know that's the content of the 2.24.980.2 Guru Reset ROM. Unless they sourced another nandroid (which they kept secret), the Telstra Guru Reset and nandroid should be the same. If you have confirmed the nandroid was taken on a non htcdev unlocked phone, then the ROM should be OK too.
[One (M7) General] Dwayno:
My phone is running the latest Telstra OTA update 4.20.841.1. It's currently rooted but I need to return for warranty reasons so thought I needed to return to stock using guru reset.

If there is a simplier way then please let me know as I was worried I might get stuck downgrading.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
So the only non-stock things are that you are rooted, custom recovery, unlocked.

I've never used it, but there's a Full unroot option in SuperSU. Assuming that works (I found surprisingly little about it):

Edit - Scratch that. I got steps mixed up, and I don't want to confuse you with half arsed instructions that won't work
[One (M7) General] Dwayno:
Yes and s-off. Not sure whether to worry about this for return purposes. The Telstra store said they will do a forward ship replacement for me.

Hi guys, this might be a repeat but i'd love someone to help me restore my Vodafone HTC One to stock.
[One (M7) General] BigJoey010:
Ok tell us about your situation...
[One (M7) General] the_scotsman:
Guys, I sold my HTC One (Telstra unlocked, s-off, custom ROM etc) on eBay. I think the buyer would prefer to have it back to stock as they're having a few issues and I don't think they are too tech savvy.

I know we don't thave the Telstra stock RUU, so I wondered how/if I can get her to flash another RUU (Asia WWE perhaps?) onto the phone, so that it gets rids of custom recovery, ROM etc and back close to stock as possible.

To flash the RUU does the phone need to be relocked or anything first? Thanks :good:

[MENTION=1186202]baadnewz[/MENTION] any help mate? You know what's required?
[One (M7) General] baadnewz:
you actually don't need a ruu, just ask the people here to provide a stock nandroid backup. restore that, then flash any stock recovery . you're set
[One (M7) General] the_scotsman:
Thanks. Will that still receive official OTA updates though?
[One (M7) General] baadnewz:
if the nandbackup provided is 100% stock an contains data partition system and boot + you flash any stock recovery .yes ota will work

[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Not Telstra, I'm afraid. My files cover unbranded, Optus, Voda... damn Telstra for deciding to go it alone. What was wrong with the Telstra nandroid/ROM linked on the last page?
[One (M7) General] the_scotsman:
I sold my One on eBay and I want to get an easy way to help the user return to some kind of stock. Doesn't have to be Telstra, could be unbranded. I suspect having to do a whole lot of fastboot, recovery tasks might be too much for them.

If someone has an unbranded full backup of everything, then all they would need to do is install the backup and flash a standard recovery which I cold probably explain easily enough.

We expect to complete testing next week

We expect HTC will make it available around Early to Mid June

so I guess Sense 6 update is not far for Australian users

Wonder how long until they release?

And I hope Sense 6 does NOT include on screen soft buttons due to use have the capacitive buttons.

If they include on screen, I dont know if i'll update.

There are no soft buttons so you can upgrade without any issues.

Vodafone user here, I updated yesterday, phone is running great, stock.

Smooth, some new great additions, customizations, power saving options, just don't like the green highlights they use, the blue from sense 5.5 was way better.

I can't answer that, I have not ran the battery from flat with a full charge since upgrading.

I periodically charge, I rarely let it deplete fully
[One (M7) General] twerg:
The one thing I have found now that I do not like about the Sense 6 update is the camera, it is now performing so poorly.

It barely focuses, there is more noise in the picture (more so in the viewfinder) and there is a lag in taking the photos, sometimes you dont know if its been taken or now. The biggest issue is the focusing.

The Sense 5.5 camera was great, dont know why this the performance has been educed for the worse..
[One (M7) General] loopism:
I think if anything it's a little faster! Can't see more noise and focussing performance is the same for me - hardware dependent issues maybe?
[One (M7) General] twerg:
No hardware issues with this One, in perfect condition.

One the other hand, my second One has a bung camera, suffers from a lot of purple, don't really care with it, it's the phone I root and have custom rims on.

I keep the good One for stock use
[One (M7) General] twerg:

Hi twerg, is there any possibility that you can provide me the stock Rom backup or anything??
[One (M7) General] twerg:
Actually no, I don't have a stock Rom backup. Did not make backup of my rooted custom One, and my stock is stock, can't dump the Rom.

Plus I'm on Vodafone, looks like you Optus. I'm sure someone else should be able to help.
[One (M7) General] poondog:
Has anyone by any chance had experience with both Optus and Vodafone recently with a similar device? I'd like to know what their networks are like.. I am on Optus and am looking to switch. I heard Vodafone is better

Obviously Telstra is heads and shoulders in front of the others.. but I can't afford it

Looking for a stock recovery for:

CID: HTC_039 VER: 4.20.980.1

I have a Nandroid of the above but it has a custom recovery and rooted. I want the stock recovery so I can OTA to 5.11.980.X but there doesn't seem to be any resources to achieve what what I'm trying to. I am S-On.

Any assistance appreciated as I also want the option of going back to stock before a warranty repair to fix the purple camera problem because it is starting to annoy me.
[One (M7) General] BigJoey010:
Look at deevans posts, you'll find em in one of em.. Look for his name a few pages back, go into his profile,check his posts and maybe look at the most thanked ones and they'll be there
[One (M7) General] dingbatt:
Thanks for that. Funny how a search of "4.20.980. 1 " didn't turn up that post! There is a firmware file and a nandroid. All I'm after is the recovery as I have the nandroid already (can't remember if it's got the missing apps or not). I intend to restore the nandroid using TWRP but then will need to install the stock recovery using fastboot. Or is there something I'm missing? Does the nandroid restore the stock recovery well as the ROM?

Confirming the optus ROM is the generic one for Voda AU and NZ, TelecomNZ etc. And it is Telstra that is the orphan?
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Firmware contains recovery. Open up the zip and grab recovery.img. If you're using Windows, Explorer won't open it so use something like 7zip

And yes, confirming that x.x.980.x is for OPTUS001, VODAP021 (don't know if that's AU and NZ), HTC__039 (unbranded), TELNZ001.

Seems like the OTA script looks at the CID of your phone and will install the applicable pre-installed apps for your telco eg. Optus Games. So if you restore to a previous version and update via OTA, your phone will go back to stock for your telco.
[One (M7) General] dingbatt:
That clears that up, thanks very much!

The missing apps I meant were the flashlight, ringtone trimmer, calculator etc that get dumped when you unlock the bootloader.

I just talked to the retailer and they sound like they are going to be a PITA, so I better try and restore as near to stock as possible before getting the purple haze camera fault fixed.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Oh those ones. I unlocked after S-OFF rather than via htcdev. I've seen a couple threads/sites where you can download them if needed
[One (M7) General] dingbatt:
So is the nandroid in your post a complete replacement as if you had done an upgrade? I just tried one of the ' system only ' nandroids I had (about the same size as yours) and it treated it like an update and retained all apps and settings I had on my custom ROM. I want to avoid a factory reset because I believe it deletes everything on the phone.

For a giggle once I had the stock ROM back, I downloaded the sense 6 update and tried to apply it. It booted quite happily into twrp (much to my surprise) but then I didn't know what to do next so I bottled out and rebooted back into the ROM.

The particular nandroid seemed a bit unstable, probably because it was a system only one. Next time I will load the final one I made just before loading the custom ROM which includes data but weighs in at 4.2 Gb. Hopefully that will be more stable. And I'll do things properly by flashing the stock recovery and then upgrade.

Have you updated your phone to the 5.11.980.? software? If so do you have the firmware.zip, nandroid etc for it? Just for future reference :)

Edit: Oops I see you posted later with the 5.11 update.zip and firmware sorry about that.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
[MENTION=2753184]dingbatt[/MENTION]

I've never heard of a 'system only' nandroid, I assume it's just the system partition? In what circumstances would someone want that, sounds like a dirtier dirty flash.

Mine is the whole thing, including data and boot. Data <300mb vs system 1.5gb, which explains why it's about the same size as the system only nandroid.

I take mine almost immediately after an upgrade (I click through setup and check the version number in settings). Yours is 4.2gb because you've got your Play Store installed apps and data in your data partition.
[One (M7) General] dingbatt:
Yes you are quite right and a 'dirtier dirty flash' is a great line. I obviously didn't understand what the nandroid I made would do. Lucky I have some full ones.

I have pretty much only ever used nandroids as a 'last safe config' to go back to when playing with customising. The only reason I'm even contemplating stock now is because of the purple camera my M7 has developed. So I take onboard what you mean and will use a full nandroid.

Thanks again for looking out for the rest of us with your zips and nandroids.
[One (M7) General] sagewah:
Optus have a series of instructions for their in store people to go through. Once they've checked the case, the first thing they do is check for the word "UNLOCKED". If they see that - no warranty for you.
[One (M7) General] dingbatt:
Luckily it isn't an Optus phone.
[One (M7) General] sagewah:
Unless you bought it directly from HTC, they won't want to talk to you - you'll have to go through whoever sold it, and they'll likely have the same checks in place.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
No, you can take it to the authorised repairer yourself. In fact, I should have done that instead of waiting for my retailer to hold onto it for a couple days, send it in for inspection, confirm yes the camera is stuffed, ask me what I wanted to do about it, then repair it.

But beware they have not been kind to modified phones:

http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2241690
[One (M7) General] sagewah:
Lot of repair agents will refuse to accept it. I used to do a lot of warranty work (different industry) and it varied between brands. We had arrangements with some manufacturers that we'd handle it all ourselves (as we only officially dealt with retailers, not end users) but other companies insisted on being the ones to hand the job to us. You have to follow the rules as a repair agent or you don't get paid, and nobody likes not getting paid.

From what I've read on ACCC site, however, unless the software mod was causing the issue then they have to honour warranty. Which is fair enough: if a user does something out of the ordinary that breaks a unit, it isn't warrantable. But this is a straight up manufacturing issue, and a fairly serious one at that. In that case, we don't even have to go through the retailer (which is the usual first stop for a warranty) but can insist HTC directly resolve it. Try talking to them though and they will politely but firmly redirect you to where you bought it from.

Optus currently have an on-the-spot swapout scheme running, which means no down time. But the first check rules out any modded phones. I'm torn between taking phone back to stock (pain in the arse, keep getting the whelp message when trying to go s-off) or making an issue of it with the ACCC just out of sheer bloody mindedness. Part of me wants to make a point of making them play by the rules; another part of me just wants to swap the phone out and get on with my life as quickly as possible.
[One (M7) General] poondog:
^^Optus are terrible with their service and treatment of phones with issues. I am not happy with them, I am switching to Vodafone next upgrade.

If you buy a phone on Optus, just pray you are within their 30 day new phone policy or jthat you have no issues.

does anyone have a nandroid backup of rom version 5.11.980.9?
[One (M7) General] niroice:
Hey everyone,

Im having issues restoring my htc one m7 back to stock to be able to apply OTA updates.I have tried two different methods with no luck.

First Method I followed the guide : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358738

This is the order I did it in:

- left the CID as OPTUS001

- I Didnt change the ROM as it was the original carrier optus AU (i never got around to install custom rom)

- I installed a stock recovery (Stock 2.24.980.2 recovery for Telecom NZ, Vodafone NZ, Vodafone AU and Optus) http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2463387 and I also tried the OTA updates recovery.img as well for good measure

- removed the tamper error

- changed boot loader to locked

- Changed to s-on

- unrooted SuperSU under the options in the programs settings

- Did a factory reset from the boot loader menu

- Downloaded my carriers update

- Tried to install the update got half way and got the red triangle and explanation mark

The error on the console screen was after pressing power + up was:

"Warning: no file_contextsVerifying current system...

Check /data/preload/soundhound_freemium.apk failed error No such file or directory ()

Installation aborted."

After that didnt work I put all the files from OTA update under data/preload into the phones /data/preload with TWRP but after doing it all over again the same issue happened. The files didnt contain soundhound_freemium.apk

Finally after having enough I downloaded:

4.20.980.1 TWRP nandroid backup

2014-03-18--17-40-21 KOT49H release-keys.zip 1.16 GB

https://mega.co.nz/#!9lwkyR6Q!e55IIf...13VPARgqne-Z5o

I copied it to the across to the phone under TWRP folder. Loaded the phone into TWRP recovery and selected install and selected the file but got an error:

E: zip signature verification failed : 1

error flashing zip '/sdcard/twrp/2014-03-18--17-40-21 KOT49H release-keys.zip

7-40-21 KOT49H release-keys.zip

Any Ideas what is going on?
[One (M7) General] niroice:
Has anyone got all the files for the data/preload folder?

I was completely missing the folder and all the files when i checked. I have managed to get some files from the OTA updates preload folder and I downloaded soundhound_freemium.apk. But Im still getting errors like TuneIn.apk missing. It seems I missing most of them. Im getting sick of having to redo everything to get root access all the time.

Thanks
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
1. I think I pre-empted your preload question in your own thread.

2. The nandroid isn't to be flashed, but extracted to your TWRP backup folder. Do a backup now to create the folder structure, and put it in the same location
[One (M7) General] niroice:
Thanks for your help.

1. I had a look at the other thread I made,to clarify did you mean for me to download the three different OTA updates and grab the files out of their data/preload folder and place them in the phones data/preload folder? would that be all the files I would need? or is there a chance there are still more missing

2. Ok, i will try the TWRP backup folder.

thanks, I may be back to ask more questions!
