[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
now we were just talking about using that Nandroid manager app, and it obviously requires root .

I also used to use titanium backup etc, which all require root.

- ok i managed to get the supersu package read.

1- is there a way to remove that red message ? i never had it before hmmm

3- do i have to do the ruu process again?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
okay, fair enough, so you

1- want stock

2- but rooted (at least temporarily) to be able to use TiBu (in which case you don't need the nandroid manager app)

3- be able to receive future OTAs

if this is correct, then

1- do you have the OTA file for "4.20.707.6", or at least the stock recovery?

Basically, my thoughts for you are as follows (skip any steps, that may be redundant or unnecessary for you, and add any you find necessary)

1- remove TAMPERED, but set UNLOCKED

2- downgrade to 100% stock

3- start receiving OTAs and installing OTAs to 3.63.707.3 *** (a)

4- download but "install later" OTA 4.20.707.6 -> you need this to get the "stock recovery"

5a- flash a custom recovery and then flash SuperSU, so you can pull the OTA file from your phone to PC

5b- in my opinion, try the temproot method instead, and if you get root access, the use adb shell + adb pull to get the OTA file to your PC

6- once you have a copy of the OTA on your PC, go back to your phone and "install now"

----> if you used 5a above then you first need to reflash stock recovery, for the OTA update to work

7- flash a custom recovery and then flash SuperSU, then install TiBu and restore whatever you want to restore

8- flash "stock recovery" back so you can receive future OTAs

*** (a) IMHO, either use the temproot method or SuperSU to pull all the OTAs from 1.xx to 4.xx from your phone to your PC
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
that's due to custom recovery, theoretically it should go away if you flash stock recovery..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
Ok my reply in red:

This is the latest OTA: http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=3945437356&shareid=472410070&third=6 and this should be the entire rom/firmware? http://www.weownu.com/firmware_KK4.4.2.zip

- With regards to your point 7 above:

im with CWM now. however i have this problem when i try to move my backups back to the phone from the pc using adb push command

failed to copy 'D:\random.file' to '/data/media/clockworkmod/backups/': Permission denied

how to go past this?

-whenever i will want in the future to use OTA i guess i will have to flash a stock recovery if i'm still rooted: in that case what custom recovery must I use? any random one or i have to grab it from some specific place ?

-I remember that even before 4.4.2 I had never had the stupid red disclaimer on boot up even with my CWM and rooted situation.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- good, didnt know about the files, so you can easily extract "recovery.img" from firmware_KK4.4.2.zip which should be stock firmware and can flash that anytime you want

2- "how to remove tampered at this later stage? is it still possible? at the moment im tampered unlocked." -> always keep unlocked, to remove TAMPERED, you can use the Guru Bootloader Reset or if you're OK with adb, use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477792 (please also check point 3, about su)

3- "Permission denied" -> are you using adb in custom recovery or booted up ROM?

----> in custom recovery, you should already be in su mode

----> in booted up ROM, check the settings of SuperSU to automatically allow ADB su access

-------> an easy way to check this, is using "adb shell", if it comes back with something that ends with $, then you're a normal user, if it comes back with #, then you're su
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
- Ok I don't know why but in custom recovery (using latest CWM) adb doesn't work. It only works when I'm in booted rom. and in that case i dont' have permission. I fixed as you said by granting it in supersu, but that doesn't mean that the recovery adb is fixed though..

Oh well...

- Should i keep the hboot locked or unlocked ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
definitely UNLOCKED

Ok, it seems that everything is working properly and stable now. I will slowly check if adjustments are needed when i find the need.

However the adb recovery still doesn't work for some reason. The drivers are fine (they are recognized correctly) and i'm on win8.1, not win7. USB Debugging is enabled. I wonder where's the problem.

Does this guide also work from reverting a converted GPE HTC One to stock sense?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes it does, do you remember your original CID (and MID if you changed it)?

remember staying S-Off is always preferred ("get out of jail" card)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lettuceman44:
Yea, I'm pretty sure the CID is CWS_001. It is just AT&T CID.

And good! I was just making sure it does work from a GPE phone before I tried anything :P

Also, I cannot use Windows 8 correct?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
CID has to be exactly 8 characters, so it should be CWS__001 <- two underscores

I

think

Windows 8 could be OK, but definitely not 8.1.... seems Win8/7/XP are OK, but not 8.1... if you get stuck with non-working fastboot (after first flash), then I would recommend Win7 (even XP) or just a Linux Live USB
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lettuceman44:
Ah good catch on the CID! It would have given me a headache haha.

Sorry, I meant Windows 8.1. I have a linux VM, so I can use that.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamilmirza:
because this happened last night: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50276838&postcount=38

plus i wanted to try your method from HERE to straighten up all my partitions but was quite desperate and you weren't available :silly:

and i want to get it things done in a proper manner

i recall when i was at 4.2.2 is got S-OFF and managed to flash the latest firmware (at that moment can't remember), and i jumped to the latest that 4.19, i feel like i missed any update or something? :D

so that's why i wanted to get a fresh start :D

correct me if i'm wrong and guide me in the right direction :angel:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Sure fair enough, did quite a few of "formatting" by now, and was actually thinking of something this morning :cowboy: (who knows if i'll ever do it :rolleyes:)

anyways, back to your case, if I understand correctly, you wanna downgrade all the way back to 1.xx then take all the OTAs to 4.x (if it's out for your MID)?

^^ if that is correct, then change CID to "HTC__J15" to get OTAs (because SuperCID won't get any OTAs)

so

1- keep bootloader UNLOCKED and stay S-Off

2- set CID: fastboot oem writecid HTC__J15

3- flash ruu.zip you mentioned (it's the correct one) 1.29.401.2

((by the way, hboot downgrade no longer necessary after guide update; only needed if you use RUU.EXE method))

4- boot up the ROM, and take all the OTAs available

done

then if you want to go back to custom ROM, install custom recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3 or .4 preferred at the moment), and flash away :cowboy:

If I misunderstood anything, or have any other questions, let me know
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamilmirza:
no i don't want to take all the OTA

i'm a flashaholic :D

i just want to update my device firmware wise

like i said before that when i was at 4.2.2; i got S-OFF and flashed the firmware that was available at that moment; then i jumped to 4.19 firmware

i'm asking did i missed something from the previous firmwares which i didn't flashed?

EDIT: plus i wanted to try your method from HERE to straighten up all my partitions but was quite desperate and you weren't available
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
you should have checked this one too, to format: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47225430

the forum for some reason always adds a space to this command: /tmp/mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -O ^huge_file,^dir_nlink,^ext_attr,^resize_inode,^extra_isize -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p37

unless it's in a code section

/tmp/mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -O ^huge_file,^dir_nlink,^ext_attr,^resize_inode,^extra_isize -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p37

as to your situation about firmware updates, i THINK (cause i didn't look at ALL the firmwares), one of the significant ones was 2.xx because it introduced new touchscreen drivers, but so does 4.19 if i'm not mistaken

but why not go ahead with the OTA updates, as suggested above, that will take your phone from 1.xx all the way to 4.xx (ROM, firmware, etc)

with UNLOCKED bootloader and S-OFF

and since you're S-Off and unlocked, you can then start flashing stuff again (for M7_U / M7_UL !!!)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamilmirza:
yes i followed the same instruction (from mike's thread) and it fixed my data partition

ok i'm going to try it

UNLOCKED bootloader wouldn't matter?

EDIT: can you tell me why RUU ZIP method is more preferable than RUU EXE method?

plus how manually mounting partitions via recovery can mess whole partition? like i was doing when my data partition got corrupted :eek:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- UNLOCKED bootloader is just fine with S-OFF (so keep both), you can check my first post under "Not so FAQ" #2

2- RUU.ZIP has become preferred (by me at least), due to

----> multiple OS support

----> separate hboot 1.44 downgrade not necessary

----> fastboot flash zip -> gives more detailed output and progress, as you can see in post 7

you can still use RUU.EXE method, but if an error comes up, it won't really say why, only a code, and fastboot gives a "step-by-step" output as it's doing things (I also set my terminal/command prompt buffer to 3000 lines, so I can scroll back and see all the output)

-> check post #7 on the output of "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" (twice) to see what it would look like
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamilmirza:
yes it shows detailed steps

plus can you tell me on which hboot version i should stay? which is more preferable in your opinion (with pros and cons, please :D)

i read that 1.55 and 1.56 could get you in trouble

P.S. i like being S-OFF forever :D

EDIT: what if we stay SuperCID? because i just flashed RUU ZIP with SuperCID? :D

should i reflash it? and what if the process successfully complete?

and my RUU ZIP flash successfully completed :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
any hboot is fine (for Win8.1 you need to be on 1.55+ for fastboot to see your phone), other than that, just keep the hboot that comes with the firmware.

my guide has "restrictions" on hboot because of the "going S-Off to S-On" part (for warranty/selling purposes) as hboot 1.55+ will very likely trigger a "tamper detected - rebooting"

since you're staying S-Off, no need to worry about it :good: keep whatever hboot your firmware comes with
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
SuperCID won't get any OTAs, once you're done with OTAs, you can change CID back to SuperCID

You can check post #1, "Not so FAQ" 2 to see what you can and cannot do with locked bootloader.

"fastboot oem unlock" was patched on newer GPE hboots and no longer works.

have you changed CID back to original CWS__001? then you can use the ATT ruu.zip just fine.

you can then unlock again, using either

* HTCdev

* revone (once hboot is downgraded to 1.44)

* using a custom recovery packaged into a fw.zip and then using adb commands or bootloader reset

Ok mate I got Windows 7 so that's fine. I've already downloaded that ruu.zip only thing I'm wondering when it tries overwriting the custom hboot I have is will it brick phone? And what I'm wondering if I use that ruu. Is it worth using guru reset for 2.24.401.8 to get back to original stock I had? Then run the ota I get after that then lock boot loader and remove tampered then go s-on ? Is that way to do it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- the downgrade will work just fine, no worries; remember the first "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" will downgrade hboot and return with "failed flush again immediately", the second "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" will restore everything to 100% stock. (you can take a look at post #7 for a visual example)

2- "Then run the ota I get after that then lock boot loader and remove tampered then go s-on ?" not a good idea

----> how are you gonna get rid of TAMPERED and set LOCKED??

----> if you go S-Off to S-On, on hboot 1.55+ you will very likely trigger a "tamper detected - rebooting", and TAMPERED is back

I wrote the guide in a specific sequence, with relatively easy to use tools, for very particular reasons and in order to avoid problems.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathlynn22:
No Mate your guide is good. I think I'm getting a bit messed up with bits I read. I think it was if you try go s-on with a custom h boot that will brick phone. And also got messed up with if I use the ruu.exe route I would have to flash h boot 1.44 first. But if I use ruu.zip following your guide I do guru reset boot loader first then flash the quoted 1.29.401.7 ruu.zip then I'm pretty much done. I will leave it s-off just in case. Then if I receive a ota I will run it after doing all the other steps first. Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
the ruu is 1.28.401.7, not 1.29.401.7

I'll try to explain as simple as I can for your case:

1- you untamper your phone and set it LOCKED (not relocked), you do this first cause you need a custom recovery for that, and the ruu.zip is gonna overwrite that

2- you flash the ruu.zip (twice), your phone will be 100% "out-of-the-box"; it will have EVERYTHING 100% 1.28.401.7 (firmware, hboot, radio, ROM, etc); again: everything will be 100% stock out of the box, as if you bought it like that

3- you go S-On, because on hboot 1.55+ you're going to get into trouble

done, you can now start taking OTAs, when the OTAs complete successfully, you can be 101% sure that the phone is stock, cause otherwise the OTA will fail.

because OTAs, check ROM fingerprint, CID, MID, and every single stock app on the phone, so if even 1 of the thousands of libs, fonts, apps, etc. is missing (or different than expected) the OTA won't work.

Hope that clarifies things

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
if you went S-On already (on hboot 1.44 or 1.54), then yes you can continue all the way up to 3.62.401.1 or 4.19.401.8 (depending which is out for your MID&CID)

once updated, reboot 3 times, just to make sure no "tamper detected - rebooting" occurs (it shouldnt if you went S-On on hboot 1.44 or 1.54)
