[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnbon:
now the s... hits the fan

Hi,

I followed this guide until the end- then I tried my first OTA update and the installation always aborted. There was no tempered and no security warning, everything was okay just the installation of the ota update failed. I went one step further and went back to s-on- I thought this might be the problem.

No I suddenly have the tempered sign back- had a security warning and the recovery does not work anymore.

I absolutely don't know what to do next... ( I wanted to go fully stock again for repair of the device- Camera- and I needed 02- german- stock software. I did not find the exact stock recovery like the provided nandroid version for o2 Germany- maybe this was the problem?

I was s-off with super cid. Now I am s-on- o2 CID and hboot 1.44

Any advice is extremely welcome....!!! :(

well, you'll need to go S-Off again, you can use revone

then start from the beginning, sorry.

when the non-O2 stock recovery gets stuck, just follow the guide on manually rebooting using POWER + VOLDOWN, so it can finish the FIRST OTA successfully.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Well first you're going to need to get S-Off using rumrunner.

If you're having problems with Windows then you can use an Ubuntu Live USB (no need to install, just use the "Try Ubuntu" option), here's some advice: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606577

Would also recommend ARHD 31.6 for your firmware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 (it's already rooted with unsecured kernel)

Then you'll have to follow the 1st post (about downgrade and common downloads), then the 4th post about using CWM backup method.

You can use this CWM backup: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-o2__102-1-27-206-1-2013-03-30-zip/

ro.aa.modelid=PN0710000
ro.aa.cidlist=O2___001,O2___102

and try this recovery: http://d-h.st/lPU

since it's not the exact recovery for your backup, there's a good chance it will hang during the update, and you'll have to manually reboot as mentioned in the guide.

If you like more visuals, you can check post #7 which has some "hands on" examples of command prompt outputs and some pictures of what you can expect.

(I personally find it too long to follow, so just take a look and follow post #4)

Let me know if you need more help

and remember, I always recommend staying S-Off
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnbon:
so- after many, many attemps with revone I am s-off again...

But I am very unsure now- may I ask you for confirmation regarding the right components for the procedure for back to stock?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes sure, from your previous post:

(bootloader) version-main: 1.28.401.7

(bootloader) modelid: PN0710000

(bootloader) cidnum: O2___102

you went ahead and ran the 1.28.401.7 RUU, but didnt continue with the "CWM method"; so if I understood correctly you need to send back to repair correct?

please post an updated "fastboot getvar all" (except IMEI and s/n) to see where you are at now, and i'll post instructions.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnbon:
yes- this dates from getvar still are where I am now. Since I cannot find a matching RUU for 02 Germany I though to switch CID to Htc__102 (Europe) and use this ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_htc_europe_1-28-401-7_radio_4a-13-3231-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/

I will send the device directly to arvato not to my carrier first because its a hardware/ camera problem, so I hope it will be no problem when the device software is debranded...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
you have two choices:

1- turn it into unbranded edition

change CID to HTC__102 (= .401. Germany) ... EDIT: typo it's HTC__102 not HTC__002

then follow post #2 in the guide

2- keep it O2 edition, using post #4

this is the nandroid you need: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-o2__102-1-27-206-1-2013-03-30-zip/

and use the CWM recovery from post #7 (version 6.0.4.5).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yep, sounds like a plan:

step 1: yes

step 2: correct, skip that since you're already on 1.xx (and didnt take any updates right??) -> so hboot is still 1.44 correct??

step 3a: yes, but not 02___102 instead O2___001 your original CID from previous post

step 3b: not flash, restore; unzip it on your pc, and then push it to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/

----->> check post #7 for a more visual example

4-8: yes, (including stock recovery, if it hangs, then just use manual reboot as mentioned in guide)

only after first successful OTA:

9: do you really need to go S-On?? I prefer staying S-Off, but if you do, then ONLY do it after 1st successful OTA, and before any other updates. once you're s-on you can continue with updates.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnbon:
Yes: I am still at 1.44

That quote wasn't me- my CID was o2___102...

I would definitely prefer to stay s-off. In particular since they ( arvato) will very probably update my bootloader and then it will be very difficult to switch back to s-off.

But I heard from a lot of problems with s-off devices and arvato. And unfortunately with arvato in general.

So want to minimize the points of attack. ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnbon:
Question:

What exactly is the 1 OTA update? First the systems offers me just a small applications update. Then there comes the full system update... Shall I install both?

Second: After installing the stock recovery I wasn't able to boot into CWM recovery. So I installed CWM anew... But now my stock recovery is gone again, right?

And the phone is still rooted I guess- are OTA updates possible under this circumstances?

The last attempt always failed because of the recovery problem. I downloaded the OTA system update but the installation failed.

How can I boot into CWM. recovery after installing stock recovery? :confused:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
You seem pretty confused ... the ota flashes from stock recovery not custom. The trick to flashing in stock recovery is to boot to the bootloader / choose recovery / on the next screen push volume up and power to see the flashing options install your update.zip from their.

so from where you are now you need to re flash stock recovery

the update.zip should still be on the phone
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
:confused::confused: Okay, you sort of lost me here, what's your status?

The apps updates are pretty much irrelevant, the OTA update is important: It's a system update, should look something like this:

Except in your case, the version number will probably be: 1.29.206.11

Yep, it's gone, but why did you do that :confused:

The guide clearly states to get back into custom recovery you use "fastboot boot <name of recovery>.img"

Why would the phone be rooted again?

Yes, of course it will fail without stock recovery.

by using "fastboot boot <name of recovery>.img"

Please go back to post #7 (the one that has example screenshots and command outputs), and read through it one more time, and let me know how it goes and/or what questions you have.

(also recommend you get the recovery mentioned there, since other versions may have some problems with adb commands in fastboot boot mode)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnbon:
okay. Thats what I wanted to know.

Because that simply did not work. After doing this via adb I just got the report cannot find cwm.img...

When I tried to boot into recovery from the bootloader manually I just got a black blank screen. So I thought I need a working CWM... and installed it again.

I don't know but I theres still the same kernel since before doing all the stuff. (3.4.10-g87f8d97root@abm0131SMP PREEMPT)

Believe me- I read it very often and did everything step for step.

It just didn't work anymore at the point after installing stock recovery...

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

Problem, as stated before, I did not get this screen- the screen just got black and nothing more.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
can you give me a short overview of where you are now?

1- ROM (nandroid restored?)

2- preloaded apps installed

3- bootloader LOCKED or not?

4- recovery?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnbon:
Sure- preloaded apps are still installed- I just unlocked the bootloader again- installed stock_recovery again. Changed the name of the cwm-recovery.img to cwm.img and put that in the SWP folder- at this time I could boot into cwm recovery without installing it again- but I didn't get the screen like the screen clsA posted- it was the usual CWM recovery menu.... Anyway I did the bootloader reset and locked the bootloader again, I did try the OTA update at the moment.

Just got the screen with the red warning triangle... So I guess I did something wrong again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
"screen with the red warning triangle" -> that's stock recovery

so the OTA update downloaded, and then went to "screen with the red warning triangle" and didnt continue :confused:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnbon:
Yes- first I got the stock recovery with green triangle and the progress bar started- than it switched to the red triangle. I did your advice with power and volume down but now I always get the red triangle at once. Than nothing happens and the device reboots. Of course with no updated software.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
well the time difference isnt helping much :(

but once in bootloader, you do a "fastboot boot CWM.img" <- with the one i posted version 6.0.4.5

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
i didnt fully understand you:

a) you need to use the EU unbranded RUU to get the phone back to 1.xx (with working touchscreen, etc.)

b) you can stay EU unbranded, provided you change your CID (MID is already good)

--> c) the EU unbranded is just a temporary step in getting you back to "Orange UK branded" --> simplest common denominator --> get your phone back to 1.xx (using whatever tool available, in this case EU unbranded), THEN get it branded again using a nandroid backup, and the rest of the guide.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bocko92:
Since I'm currently not in the UK, i don't care about warranty - therefore i don't care about my phone being branded.

My question is : Can i just use Generic European .RUU and get back to 1.. firmware (with working touchscreen, etc) and just stay that way - get official updates and stuff. Or it will cause some kind of malfunction with my phone, since it's from Orange.The reason I'm doing this is because the purple camera was much better with older firmware and i can't afford to send it back to UK just for the repairs.

If i understand correctly i must go S-OFF, then flash hboot 1.44, then change cid to HTC_001 and run .RUU for Europe?

Thanks for your time.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes correct, get s-off then

fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 <- two underscores

fastboot reboot-bootloader

if your current hboot is 1.44 or 1.54 then you can run the ruu: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/

if hboot is 1.55+ you'll need to downgrade that first.

you'll receive OTAs just fine.

(the phone will look completely unbranded WWE edition)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dray:
Love your awesome detailed guide. For noobs like me, this is great. I am in the process of converting back to stock for warranty repair purpose. I have downgraded to hboot 1.44 and removed tampered and showing ***LOCKED*** bootloader. My HTC is the international unlocked variant I bought directly from HTC but I am having a hard time finding and RUU that matches my MID 0712000. I am S-off. Do the MID and CID have to match with the RUU? I'm pretty sure I need this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/

Problem is my MID does not match it. Can I manually change my MID then flash RUU and take OTA's? Does the MID ever get changed when you flash ROMS? or is it always the same? I am trying to figure out if my current MID has ever changed during flashing or if it has always been the same out of the box. I never really paid attention to it.

Do you remember your original CID? (or what carrier you are/were with)

cause you have an M7_UL model, with MID PN0712000, so I would assume either US AT&T or Dev Edition.

the RUU you posted is for M7_U (non LTE).

So the options:

1- keep MID as is, and use a CID for PN0712000, for example AT&T then run RUU ==> phone becomes US AT&T able to receive updates when AT&T releases them

2- change MID to PN0710000, use a compatible CID, then RUU ==> phone becomes international unbranded and receives OTA when HTC releases them

and if you can, please stay S-Off, as it is your "get out of jail" card

Let me know which option you prefer and I'll help out
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dray:
I'm pretty sure it was HTC__001. Not positive. My HTC was def not At&t variant when I purchased it. Do the MID change as you flash Roms? I will go s-on after complete stock to return it. If I don't update I should be able to s-off again correct?

i prefer to stay Int when I return it because that is I how I received it. I don't mind using AT&T so long as HTC won't detect it. Alls I really want is the ability to mod it all over again when I receive it back after repair. (unlock bootloader, S-off) Is there a more simpler way of changing MID?

Thank You!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
It's very unlikely it was HTC__001 (WWE unbranded), and it's easy to change CID with S-Off, but MID much harder (or at least slightly ;) now that there is a tool); and neither CID nor MID change by flashing anything, that's something you have to do manually.

If you check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2223236

PN0712000 you can see that this MID is used in US and Canada (so branded CID).

there is also PN0712000 unbranded, but that's a M7_U model.

can you set CID back to 11111111

fastboot oem writecid 11111111 <- eight ones

fastboot reboot-bootloader

then get CIDGetter from Play Store, and see what that reports.

and if i understood correctly, you do need to send it to repair, so

Which country are you in? and where are you sending it to repair? and where did you buy it from?
