[Q] Softbrick help - AT&T HTC One (M7)

I was trying to return my phone back to stock that had S-OFF and a 4.4.2 ROM, I got rid of Unlocked and tampered in my bootloader and S-ON'd my phone. I am trying to flash an RUU that will work with the 1.55 HBOOT and non of the ones I have found helped. The phone will not boot into recovery, it boots into the bootloader and will not go past it. Anyone know what I can do?

I have similar problem. If you don't have a custom recovery there is nothing you can do besides wait for at&t to release the ota update and extract the firmware.zip from it and flash that. the problem is when you flash a google edition rom to an att phone the bootloader signature wont match and you can no longer unlock through htc dev, and any rom you try to flash will either fail because: a) your main ver. is higher than the rom you are trying to flash (cant downgrade locked phone) or b)signature verification fail... like I said above. Feel free to pm me and I will give you some more info and some other things you may be able to try.

return to stock gsm evo 3d, downgrade bootloader? s-off?

hey forum
i really need some help now. i have a gsm evo 3d unlocked up and running a custom rom (nonsense). now i want to return to stock, ive tried flashing the ruu for several times, but each time it says bootloader version error. so i guessed that i have to downgrade my hboot version from 1.53.0007 to something 1.49.007 or similiar. i just cant get it to work, neither with flashmaniacs way, or the manual way. in bootloader when loading the PG86IMG ist says version older update fail.each time i fail i reunlock the bootloader, so atleast i can use my phone. the worst and most foolish part of me: no nandroid backup. so i recognize my fault.
Do you have the newest ruu.exe for your region/carrier? Once you get it, boot into bootloader, connect to computer (should say fastboot usb), lock bootloader, then run ruu. That should put you at stock.

Trouble reverting back to stock RUU

Hi guys, I have the 02 UK version of the HTC ONE X+

Found several RUU files one specific for 02 and when running the RUU it says sending and then error message pops up on the program and the phone reboots.
Any ideas? And it doesnt have to be an 02 ruu just one that works.

Hi Yeah I have had it relocked and tried executing the RUU but still no luck.
i have the exact same issue. reason is, last time i used the RUU to get back to stock rom, i used the phone on stock rom for a while and updated my phone to the latest build which updated the HBoot to version 3.5.000 but the currently available RUUs are not compatible with the HBOOT v3.5 so we have to wait for the new RUUs
problem for me is that i have sold the phone and didnt want to send the phone out with a custom rom but time is running out im afraid.

So I have to wait for newer RUU to come out for my HBOOT. Thats not too bad if thats all it is.
I have the exact same problem with my O2 UK One +, does anyone have any idea on when these new RUU's will be available? is it possible to downgrade the HBOOT to an older version that will allow the current RUU's to work?
what about ADB sideloading a flashable .zip of the stock firmware? would that work (if we have a flashable zip) or would it kick back an error?
Thanks.
downgrade hboot works only at S-OFF state
OK, is that possible on this phone? it was on my old HTC Magic, although it was hard work!!!!!
no S-OFF at this time for tegra3
Ok, not looking good then, so is there no way for me to get back to a stock rom now? very tempted to recycle the phone and get another one.....

i have a solution for you.
i have a nandroid back up of my phone, you'd need to flash the boot.img in that and then use clockmod recovery to restore the phone to that nandroid and after that flash a stock recovery, relock the bootloader then use OTA updater on the phone to get it uptodate.
it takes a lot more work than just using the RUU, but they arent available right now, so that's what i did because i sold my phone so wanted it to be back to its original state for the new owner
i have the exact phone, mine was locked to O2 as well. i bet you bought it off that guy on ebay for £400?
pm me if you are interested and i will upload the stuff for you.

I accidentally missed a step when flashing a custom ROM onto my HOX+, and now it hangs at the HTC quietly brilliant screen every time. I know that all I need to do is re-lock the bootloader and use the most recent RUU, but I cannot get my computer to detect my phone to re-lock the bootloader. Is there another way to re-lock the bootloader? If not, what should I do?

[Q] Unroot and lock bootloader

Hey guys. Yes I have searched, but have only found instructions so far for going back to stock gingerbread.
I need to send my amaze in to get fixed under warranty, and I'm assuming they won't like it if I send them the phone with an unlocked bootloader, rooted, and CM10 installed, and that's what I need help with. How can I reinstall stock ICS, unroot, and lock the bootloader of the amaze? And will it show as "relocked" or "locked"? Of course I plan on putting the root and unlocked bootloader and CM10 once I get it back, so I'm looking for a reversible way to do this. Thanks in advance!
Just to be clear. For your bootloader to say 'locked' you'll need to have S-Off and NOT unlock the bootloader again. But once that's done just flash the ICS ruu. Here's a link

Thank you. So I am S-ON right now. In order to make the bootloader say "locked" again to make HTC happy with my warranty, I'd have to be stuck with ICS and whatever updates HTC decides to give us from then on once I got it back from HTC?
No. That's the only way for it to say "locked" if you relock it it will say "relocked"
So if you really want it to say "locked" you'll need to S-Off first. Then flash the RUU.
Once you get it back you can do as you feel.

What makes you think you will be stuck with anything? Everything u need to do is reversible and then re-doable.
Im just not really sure which part u think would make it stuck. Let us know and im sure we can explain the cofusion
After unlocking the bootloader with S-ON and installing a custom recovery/rom how do you revert to Stock.
I've tried relocking the bootloader, and using the AllinOneToolkit by Hanson to install the Factory RUU but it keeps failing after the HTC boot logo appears and the zip RUU file gets transferred to the phone. Keeps saying Failed with 12 signatures or something.
Then I read with S-ON that you had to use Hanson's tool and perform Fix Mainver, but that doesnt do anything either. Keeps saying, error cannot find device.
So, how do I go back to Stock?
Would appreciate any help!
Boot into fastboot, type "fastboot OEM lock" in the command prompt. Put the appropriate RUU on your external SD card and rename it PH85ING.zip and boot into bootloader.
Edit: its PH85IMG.zip. sorry about my fatty fingers. Also, make sure to check the md5 sum on the RUU. I always had trouble with the download.

its not the actual boot logo but that black screen with the HTC logo that I think is part of the stocky recovery maybe?
I have yet to try the PHS.IMG method in fastboot.

Lol what do you mean you havent tried it? Flashing the PH85IMG.zip though the bootloader is the ONLY way to flash the RUU.

This only applies to tmobile versions? What about if we are on another carrier, I tried renaming the OTA updates but it doesnt do anything.

AT&T Stock Recovery IMG or RUU

Can anyone upload the AT&T stock recovery img? @thoughtlesskyle was awesome enough to upload the system and boot partitions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/stock-stock-twrp-t3080499
I guess the AT&T RUU would work as well if anyone has that floating around.
THX all!
I would also really appreciate a flashable stock recovery partition!
I have a brand new HTC One M9, stock and untouched - I unlocked the bootloader, but relocked it before flashing TWRP or anything because I realized that I can have root, or stock recovery, but not both.
I'm reluctant to wipe the stock recovery image and replace it with TWRP, because I *really* want the camera OTA applied correctly when AT&T decides to push it out.
If I wipe the stock recovery, install TWRP, and install root along with a ROM - I'll lose the stock recovery, and even if I reflash a bone-stock system dump, the recovery partition will be modified so I won't be able to take the AT&T signed OTA and flash it.
I even tried to "fastboot boot twrp-recovery-2.8.6.4.img" in both bootloader and download mode to see if I can use TWRP without flashing and blowing away the stock recovery partition, but no luck.... and it seems I'm unable to backup the stock recovery partition as is unless I get root (which requires me to flash TWRP...)

I'm confused on how I can return my m9 to Full stock. I have twrp , S OFF and SuperSU.
I've downloaded RUU from http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
Do I first do S-ON then launch RUU exe and it will be back to stock? Do I even need to have S-ON ? Will flashing RUU via just running it remove root AND twrp?
att HTC One M9 back to stock fully
So this is what I found after some research and was successful at resetting everything to stock:
If you are rooted, unlocked, your status on bootloader says 'modified' but you want to go back to stock. To return the phone or some other reason:
First - set your phone to S-OFF with http://theroot.ninja/index.html I know - it costs $25. I will gladly accept another way of doing it, but unaware of one.
Second - set your Software Status back to Official by visiting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/how-to-restore-software-status-original-t3092882
This the second step since you need to be S-OFF for it to work.
At this point you'll still have your Bootloader showing as Unlocked and of course S will be OFF.
Then do the step 2 to lock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-return-m9-to-100-stock-s-off-t3091730
Then I would not do step 3, but only because I found ROM exe for my ATT one m9 here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
It'll take 5 minutes or so to finish. This will reload your Lollipop back to factory state. It will also unroot your phone.
Then you can do S-ON by rebooting to download mode ( adb reboot download ) and running: ( fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 ). This was 'optional' step after step 7 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-return-m9-to-100-stock-s-off-t3091730

htc one m7 stock rom possibility

hey, ihave a htc one m7 on 4.2.2 android ice cold project rom and ive been trying to go back to stock htc sense rom but downgrade from stock 5.0.2 and I cant seem to do it, ive tried ota update zip files, stock odexed rom but nothing seems to work, I got the stock rom on but then the touch screen didn't work so had to go back to aicp. I also cant get s-off as ive got hboot 1.61 and cant afford to buy sunshine.
any help would be much appreciated thanks.
You need the RUU then. The reason touch won't work is because the firmware is not matched to the OS. This is a common HTC thing. You have to find the RUU that corresponds to your carrier or region as well as being the same or newer than the firmware you are on now since you are S-On. You must relock your bootloader to install the RUU while being S-On as well.

could you help me find then compatible RUU please? I don't know what one id use. I was hoping to downgrade from lollipop but I don't think ill be able to.
ive went back to the os that didn't work with touch and am going to do and ota update, but how would I get my device to allow ota updates again? do I have to put the recovery back to stock as well as relock bootloader or is there more to it?
You'll need fastboot to make sure you are getting the correct version. If you do not have it, get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 then boot to the bootloader and run this command:
fastboot getvar all
Post results but remove your IMEI and serial number.
You definitely can not downgrade while S-On. You won't need to worry about OTAs as the RUU will do everything for you. If you do want to enable OTAs after you get everything matched up, then yes, you would need to leave the system and the recovery stock.
would there be anyway for me to downgrade then? ive tried flashing other firmware and so far I might have got it, I just need to wait for my phone to charge till I know
You can flash an older rom, but a true downgrade with everything matched is not possible while being S-On.

How could I know without knowing which M7 you are using and what firmware is on it? I've already provided instructions for what was needed for additional info.
