I tried to get S-OFF but runrunner .... ERROR: Looks like device is not rooted and lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!

When I enter in TWRN or CWM... can't mount /cache ... can't mount sdcard ...

With adb or sideload I can put files on phone without problem

I tried to put RUU RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed but no luck, it said is not the right ROM

What can I do ? I think that the first step is to get S-OFF, but if runnrunner fails and I'm on boot 1.56...

Thanks in advance ;)

my android-info.text have not been changed

how do i know if need change

lads please help

i am not s-on

i tried install android revolution hdt

and stuck on bootloop hence why wanna go back stock

i am following ur guide nkk71

do you use teamviewer by any chance friend?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Yes, first thing is S-Off, use a custom ROM such as ARHD 51.0 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 (because it's inline with your firmware)

then use http://rumrunner.us/

or http://firewater-soff.com/
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
only use teamviewer on occasion, but what's the problem with the custom ROM?

ARHD 51.0 purring like a small kitten here :laugh:

do you have the right recovery? TWRP 2.6.3.3
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Hi, thanks for the feedback, anything you think should be rewritten (or explained more) in the guide? Suggestions are always welcome :)

you may wanna get in touch with [MENTION=4139782]crushalot[/MENTION] as he is kind enough to host all the RUUs, OTAs, etc on his site http://www.htc1guru.com/ , maybe he can make use of the nandroids and OTA file.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlekox:

Solved, but before flash arhd 51 i need to factory reset with stock recovery, i don't know why :P

I'm now S.off with firewater :D

EDIT: Actually there was one thing I had to do..for HBoot I had to edit it in Notepad to include rogers cid which is ROGER001. I opened it in winrar, edited the android info file then closed it. I just added "cidnum: ROGER001" to the bottom of the list.

quick question i want to go back to 100% stock using a stock Nandroid. the minute i got my HTC one it was hboot 1.55 and Stock Rom 4.3 sense 5.5, so i unlocked it installed TWRP recovery made a stock Nandroid Backup then rooted it, installed venom Rom, elemental Kernel and Got S-Off and still on stock hboot 1.55 and stock CID just got rid of TAMPERED Flag. now i want to go back to stock without using RUU. so the question is can i

1-restore my Stock Nandroid 4.3

2-flash Stock Kernel

3-restore recovery by flashing stock recovery img from bootloader using Android_Recovery_3e_JB.img from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2158763

4-reset lock status by using Rom toolbox lite

5-unroot my device

6-S-ON by

7-Factory Reset from bootloader

my device should be 100% stock

do i still have to downgrade to hboot 1.44 b4 doing anything?

are those steps right or did i miss something?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
I think you're heading for some trouble here, see my comments above; especially the part about going S-Off to S-On on hboot 1.55+

Also you'll be missing the preloaded apps, which get deleted when using HTCDev, and will likely not be in the nandroid; these would be: Calculator, Flashlight, HTC Ringtone Trimmer, HTC Sound Recorder, Soundhound, TuneIn

however, i have noticed that the OTA update from 3.62.401.1 to 4.19.401.8 doesn't actually check for them, it installs the full apks (unlike previous OTAs which only patched the existing ones; hence the need for the preloaded apps to be on the phone already)

Why do you need to go S-On, anyway?

what's the output of your "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)

why not follow the guide, you can use this RUU.EXE: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/

or this RUU.ZIP: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...0-01_release_311663_signed_2_4_decrypted-zip/

recommended recovery is CWM 6.0.4.5 (in post #7)

if you don't want to use Guru Bootloader Reset Tool, you can use the adb command you mentioned instead

and best to use a Win7 PC, 8.1 will probably not work on hboot 1.44
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFinderOuter:
so correct me if im wrong

1-downgrade hboot to 1.44

2-run CWM Guru_Bootloader_Reset_1.0.zip and lock bootloader

3-run RUU.exe that you provided

4-S-ON by fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

after all of that if i updated using OTA will my Hboot upgraded to 1.55?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes absolutely correct.

once you go S-On you can go ahead and take all the OTA updates available; hboot will also be updated during OTAs (1.44 -> 1.54 -> 1.55, and 1.56 if it's already released for your MID & CID)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFinderOuter:
alright then going to do those steps and come back tell u what happens wish me luck :D

thank you for all your help:good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Good Luck, and sorry there was a small typo, first hboot is going to be 1.44 not 1.43 :o

Let me know if you get stuck anywhere, but should be a straightforward process

Returning to stock for hopeful Warrany repair/replace

Hi there, I'm new to rooting and I've read through most of the thread so I apologize in advance if I'm posting something that's already been covered. As well, thank you so much for all you contribute, I used several of your tips when I rooted my phone and all of your info is very concise and a great resource!

So, quick back story: Last week I received an OTA update from AT&T and was excited at the prospect of having some new features....no dice. It installed a metric **** tonne of bloatware (about 5 apps) and I noticed immediately that my battery life plummeted. After a few days taking the time to verify that my battery was, in fact, less robust I decided to root my phone (this was Friday, 01/31/14). So, full of hope I rooted my phone, found another thread that detailed how to get to 4.4 with Sense 5.5 from HTCdev and went to work. After several hours of crossing my fingers, I was successful and rather enjoyed Kit-Kat but noticed my battery was still not good. It would work fine until I hit the 50% mark and then plummet within 30 minutes to dead. As of last night I noticed that there is a bulge along the bottom of the phone and - wait a minute, I've been through this with an older phone! It seems that my battery problems were, in fact, a popped battery! :( So now I need to undo everything I've done in order to send this back to HTC as the retailer claims they cannot furnish the warranty in store.

So this is where I'm at and I just want to verify a few things before I begin on this unfortunate endeavor. Here is my current getvar:

version: 0.5

version-bootloader: 1.56.0000

version-baseband: 4A.22.3263.14

version-cpld: None

version-microp: None

serialno: xxxxxxxxxxxxx

imei: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

meid: 00000000000000

product: m7_ul

platform: HBOOT-8064

modelid: PN0712000

cidnum: CWS__001

battery-status: good

battery-voltage: 4273mV

partition-layout: Generic

security: off

build-mode: SHIP

boot-mode: FASTBOOT

commitno-bootloader: dirty-bee46337

hbootpreupdate: 11

gencheckpt: 0

So, in relation to your instructions and especially after seeing the good news you posted showing that HTC really doesn't care about S-Off:

I should really only need to revert Hboot to 1.44.

Then, run the RUU (Cingular/AT&T firmware for the US)

????

I rooted the phone through HTCdev, loaded TWRP recovery, and turned S-Off with Rumrunner, then flashed the HTC BrightStar developer firmware. Am I missing any steps or does that sound about correct?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
follow post #1 and #2 of his guide. Don't forget to reset your bootloader before you run the ruu to remove tempered flag and set the bootloader to locked (not re-locked) (post #2).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
as [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION] mentioned follow post #1 and post #2

downgrade hboot

set bootloader to LOCKED and remove TAMPERED

run RUU.EXE

s-on is your decision

In post #2 - step 2, you can use this ruu.exe:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xela-yuki6:
Last time I attempted to return to stock I got stuck at the final stage, returning to S-On, where I ended up with the TAMPERED flag on my bootloader. Is there a way to avoid the same mistake this time around?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes, you have to do it before taking any OTA to 3.xx, which includes hboot 1.55 which in turn triggers the "tamper detected - rebooting" when going S-Off to S-On.

therefore the guide downgrades you to the lowest RUU (1.xx with hboot 1.44), then you are allowed ONLY ONE OTA, which most probably will be another 1.xx (hboot 1.44) or max 2.xx (hboot 1.54), to make sure everything is 100% stock, then go S-On, and after that you are free to take further updates.

I won't be worrying about S-on since HTC doesn't care about it. As I stated earlier, there's physical evidence of a battery issue so I'm just needing to get it set to go back to HTC. I actually just got off the phone with them and the rep was super nice. When I told him my issues, he was just like "Yeah, that definitely sounds like it's a power issue." Hopefully I won't catch any trouble once the phone gets there; I haven't done anything crazy, just the HTC firmware change, and I can get my phone back soon. Thanks again for your help, off to return to stock!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulti75:
Hi nkk71 and everyone else. Thanks for your guide, but I just want to make sure what I actually have to do. I really do not mind the tampered note or anything else on my phone. This is what I did so far. The phone came with 4.2.2. I did OTA to 4.3. Then I unlocked, installed TWRP and did a nandroid backup of a virgin 4.3. Then setup all my stuff, rooted the phone, used it for a while and did another backup. When the kitkat update came out, I wasn't aware that I actually could not OTA update. So I looked around and found a TWRP installable zip file on a site. Now there is a new update out and I want to be able to OTA update. I want to stay on stock, I do not want to use any custom ROMs; the only thing I want to to is OTA update then go TWRP and backup and root again. I don't mind being either S-ON or S-OFF.

So far what I gathered from what I read is that I have to go stock recovery, relock, do the OTA update, unlock, go TWRP, and finally do a backup. I just want to be sure what files and versions I have to use.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long intro :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- Well since you have a "nandroid backup of a virgin 4.3" why don't you just restore it, flash a stock recovery (probably 3.62.401.1 should be good enough) and take the OTA?

2-

In my opinion

get s-off, it's sort of your "get out of jail" card, if you're using a mac, then you can use http://firewater-soff.com/

3- if you can't use your nandroid, and need to downgrade (S-Off needed), you can use the RUU.ZIP method on your mac, using this ruu: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...0-01_release_311663_signed_2_4_decrypted-zip/
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulti75:
Thanks for the tips, much appreciated. One quick question, do I need a locked bootloader in order to be able to receive and install OTAs?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
hmm, good question :o:o

I have read some thread where it was successful (with rooted and unlocked bootloader), but can't find it right now; after OTA, he lost root, but was easily installed again.

I know for sure bootloader state won't matter if you're S-Off, but not sure about S-On, you'll need to try and let us know ;)

If you do try with S-On and bootloader unlocked, can you let me know if the OTA was successful, then i can update my chart to include that too: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49832723&highlight=chart#post49832723

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meatfish:
Thanks for this guide. Just finished and the handset is now s-on and updating OTA.

I had a couple of small problems. Firstly, after flashing the hboot to 1.44, the phone wasn't recognised by Windows 8.1 when in bootloader so I had to use a Windows 7 machine. Tried Ubuntu and that's the best part of 7 hours of my life I'm not getting back... Might be worth warning about this in the guide. I didn't have any problem with touchscreen disappearing which I was expecting so had an OTG cable and mouse on stand by.

Secondly I also had an issue where CWM wouldn't push the Guru reset file no matter what version I tried. In the end as I was still rooted I booted the phone, put the zip file in /sdcard and used Root Explorer to move it to data/media. After that I carried on and the process was painless.

Model is PN0710000 and CID HTC__001 and I had no crash during the first update with the RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe file downloaded from the links.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Thanks for the feedback i'll update the guide regarding Windows 8.1 (it seems a common with Windows 8.1 and earlier hboots, had hoped the latest HTC Drivers would fix that, guess not :( )

The touchscreen not working issue was already taken into account, that's why you had to run/flash a full RUU to downgrade everything to stock; restoring a 1.xx nandroid on a 2.xx+ firmware would make touchscreen unavailable.

Can you also tell me which version of CWM you used? because I had issues with some versions, so in post #7:

And sorry it took you so long with Ubuntu.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meatfish:
In the end I used recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img, which I found via google and ran an MD5 check on to make sure it was the same as yours but it still didn't work. Perhaps if I had tried classic instead of touch it might have worked? I don't know enough about CWM though as up until now I have used TWRP (not that there is a huge difference). It was redundant though as using Root explorer worked for moving the Guru_Reset file.

Nothing for you to be sorry about, its all down to my own ineptitude. Using the Cmd prompt in Windows took me back to the 90s though and playing Doom etc which wasn't so bad! I also never realised you could shift+right click to be able to select Open a Command Prompt here. Wish I had known that before typing e: <enter> cd Android <enter>cd sdk<enter> cd platform-tools<enter> about a hundred times...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Were you on Windows7? Can you remember if, when you used "fastboot boot CWM.img" it tried installing drivers, but failed? Because someone had this once, and just had to manually select drivers, then everything worked.

Looks like the guide is going to get longer, and longer :eek:

Hope it's not going to become unreadable :eek:

LOL, that's why i keep adb & fastboot in: C:\ADB :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meatfish:
Yes, this was on Windows 7 64 bit. It didn't seem to try automatically. I tried once to get them to manually install and it didn't work so before spending an hour troubleshooting I thought I would give Root Explorer a try (it was after midnight...). It worked that way so I called it a win and carried on. It is quite possible I could have got the drivers working but it was late, it wasn't my PC and my work around did the job.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Hi,

Do you have a nandroid backup (CWM or TWRP) of your old 1.xx ROM stock version?

Cause HTC__332 looks quite rare, and I was only able to find one for ENTEL, it has the same MID and CID as yours

dev.defaultwallpaper=/system/customize/resource/Wallpaper_ENTEL-2160x1920.jpg

ro.aa.romver=1.29.595.2

ro.aa.skulist=595
ro.aa.mainsku=595
ro.onecid=1
ro.cwkey=HTC__332

ro.product.model=M7
ro.product.brand=htc_la_entel_spa
ro.product.name=m7

ro.build.description=1.29.595.2 CL164689 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_la_entel_spa/m7/m7:4.1.2/JZO54K/164689.2:user/release-keys

but it's ENTEL branded... would that be a problem.

Basically, you have three options

1- if you have a nandroid of a 1.xx ROM, then you can use my guide to restore 100% to stock

2- you can use the ENTEL backup, but your phone will be ENTEL branded; don't know if that's a problem for your repair center

3- convert your phone to an unbranded international model

Let me know what you decide and I'll post instructions

Cheers

1- nevermind, will be gone soon enough

2- adb works only in booted up ROM (with USB debugging enabled), or custom recovery

3- This should be fairly simple:

PN0714000, HTC__044: use this http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...0-13_10-33-1150-01_release_311678_signed-zip/

using RUU.ZIP method

so first read Post #1 (and get the downloads you'll need), check FAQ about Operating system problems (in particular Win8.1 WILL NOT WORK)

then proceed to Post #3 (RUU.ZIP method)

Let me know if you have any questions before proceeding

remember to stay S-Off.
