[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktivo:
Im really struggling to carry out an unroot on both my HTC one and S3. I want to sell the devices but need to return them to standard rom.

I have looked and read so many differnt threads that I'm totally confused about which method to use and which files to use.

My HTC is rooted with a TEAM recovery, I've looked at the bootloader and it tells me its s-on. All I want to do is return to stock O/S so the phone can update to the latests release. I don't need any of the settings keeping, infact it's best for it to be completely clean.

Is there an easy to follow guide I can use that points me to all the files I need etc?

If anyone can help me out I would very much appreciate it.

thanks all.

Did you read this :confused: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358738 this is the guide you are looking for.... and this is the 2nd sticky on this forum.... :eek:

and btw you should ask your question in the

Apologies for the wrong position of posting.. I have read this sticky but there are lots of conflicting information in there. Perhaps my geekness is just not what it supposed to be.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktivo:
Sorry hit enter to quickly.

I think in general I'm unsure of some of the terminology used. It also mentions about certain firmware not having touch panel working after unroot etc. So as a non geek type, it does sort of scare you into not doing anything at all. I've looked on YouTube and there are loads of video tutorials but again, most of the links to the correct ruu are broken or old.

Hence my question. Is there an updated thread giving noob step by step instructions.. hope that makes sense?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Reboot your phone in bootloader, Select fasboot, then connect phone to pc via usb. Go to your fastboot/adb folder of your computer and start a cmd prompt from there. Type "fastboot getvar all" copy paste info here. Dont paste imei and s/n.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktivo:
That alone had helped. I completely forgot you need to start the command prompt from the adb folder. I've been trying to navigate to it with little success
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktivo:
Thanks for your support so far. Please see attached. If you could point me in the right direction please that would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE.

I've gained s-off using revone system and I believe I've found the right RUU for my firmware 1.28.401.7 which is this one:

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-zip/

How do i know flash this ruu.zip file to the phone? I've tried the steps in the mentioned thread above but keep getting errors.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Now that you are s-off:

1 -I would recommend you tu use the .EXE RUU and not the .ZIP RUU. Will be much easier for you :

RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_htc_europe_1-28-401-7_radio_4a-13-3231-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/ just place the .exe on your desktop

2- put your phone back in fastboot mode (reboot using power and vol -, select fastboot, connect to usb computer)

3- open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder

4- change your cid to supercid by pushing this command:

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

5- check that your cid changed properly:

fastboot oem readcid

it should reply something like this:

(bootloader) cid: 11111111
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.011s

6- keep phone connected to pc and reboot it, check you have a good battery charge. launch the ruu.exe and follow instruction from the utility.

7- now your phone is back to stock, you are not rooted anymore and your bootloader is locked. you need the change back your cid to HTC__001 if you want to receive OTA updates.

-put your phone back in fastboot mode (reboot using power + vol -, select fastboot, connect to usb computer)

-open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder

-

fastboot oem writecid HTC__001

-check that your cid changed properly:

fastboot oem readcid

it should reply something like this:

(bootloader) cid: HTC__001
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.011s

8- boot your phone normally, go trough the setup procedure, then download and install all ota updates.

9- factory reset your phone

10- you are rdy to sell it, its now 100% stock, updated and s-off (dont go back to s-on!)

No problem, i'm just doing what somebody else here on xda did for me a couple weeks ago.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktivo:
Only me again. lol.:D

I'm all updated now thanks. BUT. I noticed my recovery has now gone. I used to use team recovery but I'm happy to install any (easiest). Don't suppose you know how to do this please?

thanks again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Your recovery isnt gone, The ruu process replaced your custom twrp recovery with the stock recovery of htc. If you want to re-install twrp recovery you have to re-unlock your bootloader trough htcdev.com and then download the twrp.zip and flash it to the recovery partition of your phone.

With a custom recovery (like twrp), you will NOT be stock and you will NOT receive future OTA updates. (you will see them but you won't be able to install them because you need stock recovery to install ota)

if you still want to install twrp for some reasons follow those steps:

1- re-unlock your bootloader trough HTCdev.com

refer to this xda video tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuIq0gmYpFA

2- download lastest version of twrp (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img) recovery: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/m7/

3- place the .img file inside your adb/fastboot folder of your computer

4- reboot phone in bootloader, then select fastboot and connect usb cable

5- open cmd prompt from you fastboot folder

6- type this command to flash twrp:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img

7- type this command to reboot into bootloader:

fastboot reboot bootloader

8- now you can enter the custom recovery

[Droid Ultra Accessories] jfriend33:
I can't for the life of me find the article I'm looking for. I remember seeing a comparison chart of headphones, whether they had 1 or 3 buttons, if they had their own app, and Android / ios compatibility.

I currently am using a pair of plantronics backbeat 116s (ear buds) and my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (in ear) headphones. Missing the volume, play pause, etc my blackberry premium multimedia headphones had.

I tested a pair of monster brand sport earphone. They had a neat shark fin to keep them in. And they let some ambient sound through as well. Unless I'm on a plane, I don't care to have 90% of sound around me blocked. I hate hearing myself breathe or the sound the cables make while running. But the buttons on the monsters didn't work.

I guess I'd consider bluetooth but I'm almost scared to use any because of issues I've read.

Under $50 would be great but I could go higher if I had to.

So what's the verdict?
[Droid Ultra Accessories] doogald:
I had a pair of those as well, but the inline remote buttons finally shorted out (which shouldn't have happened because they are supposed to be waterproof...)

Anyway, any earbuds with iPod three button inline controls: the volume buttons will do nothing on the Maxx. The Play/Pause button works for me. I have used it with Pocketcasts and Google Music. This was basically just to test - I still use my iPod Touch for most podcast/music listening, mostly because I love the the remote volume buttons.

I now use Bose sport earbuds. They are expensive, though lifetime warranty. Again, play/pause works, volume buttons do nothing. Apple earbuds with inline controls: the same thing happens.

I have never tried making a phone call with earbuds plugged in, though.
[Droid Ultra Accessories] chaseacej:
Have you checked out the Klipsch ear buds? Not sure if they work or not but they are ones I have been looking at.

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but once you have a contact:

Open the contact

Check "All calls to voicemail"

what is the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hack14u:
If you are running ATT software with a T-Mobile SIM, I believe you need to get a ATT SIM to update. You do know that you can get all the benefits of T-Mobile service by converting the ATT to a T-Mobile right? I did it the other day and got the free tethering, and the Wi-Fi calling feature, it was really easy to do too. I think the only thing missing from the One is the AWS band, but maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in. You can also convert to a Dev Edition and get updates straight from HTC.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman408:
not sure how to do that

that'd be awesome. how do I convert it to t-mobile? I do have an ATT SIM sitting here but it doesn't have any airtime on it. I've tried popping it in before and doing the update but it still wouldn't show an update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hack14u:
Needs to be active, to convert to a T-Mobile device, you will need S-Off, change CID to T-MOB010, find the zip file that is posted on the T-Mob section, it is like 0.98gb, flash that zip file it includes the T-Mob recovery and everything you need), then it will find the OTA updates. There is a rumor that when 4.4 is released for T-Mob that they have disabled the free Wi-Fi tethering, so if that is important stick with the 4.3 until that is confirmed or if it's not true. But anyhow, that's how easy it was for me. Of course I am not scared of this device, I have soft bricked it so many times it's silly, and it's always been easy to bring back, knock on wood! And oh ya, if you haven't updated to 4.3 yet, and don't have S-Off, do it now, you will thank yourself later!

Android OS battery drain!

Hey Y'all,

So I've been having some really bad battery drain issues involving Android OS on my new Note 3. I've been looking around for days trying to find the culprit and stumbled upon this:

(SORRY, it's not letting me post the link I don't have enough posts so I'll change HTTP for hteeteep, mods I apologize but I can't easily summarize the processes and explanations offered on this page.)

hteeteep://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/reduce-battery-drain-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-by-fixing-android-system-usage-0142361/

It has to do with gsiff_daemon a non-utilized but highly active GPS sensor daemon. I followed the instructions posted there and renamed the file. After that Android OS went back to normal % of CPU usage. When you look at CPU usage under developer option you can see that gsiff_daemon is constantly using resources. Since I disabled it my battery life has improved dramatically and I have yet to notice any "side effects". The phone works perfectly and all other apps are working properly. I think between this fix and staying away from "Enable location over Wi-Fi " should help most people with battery drain issues. I hope this helps!

I don't know guys but I think I found the culprit in my situation of battery draining(android OS always on top)..

I used wakelock detector to monitor which app wakes up a lot even though your not using it, the highest wakeup trigger in my situation is the Samsung Push Service, since you cannot turn it off in the settings, I used titanium backup to freeze it, after 3 days of monitoring/observing the battery and android os, it went back to normal, no more 5hrs cpu total under android OS instead its just under an hour now. im gaining back 6 to 7hrs screen time from 100 to zero percent battery.

try to observe guys which app wakelocks triggers a lot of times then try to freeze it.
