[Q] Unroot M7 - Please help me and no links - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

Please help me unroot my phone. I've been on here since 1 pm and its almost 6 pm, and no closer to solving my problem. I'm fed up with, "just follow this link and you'll get a solution" only to have more questions. or get to dead links. I need a step by step set of instructions. Please. Remember, this might be second nature/old school for you, but I've been on here coming on 5 hours reading thread after thread where each thread refers to each other in a freaken loop.
Ok
I have the HTC One M7
CID T-Mob010
getvar main 1.27.531.7 (The closest I found is 1.27.531.11, can I use it?)
I have no clue about update.zip files
I have no clue about recovery.img
I have no clue on firmware.zip.
I don't know where to find previous updates on the phone and can't find the system folder.
Oh, and as you may know, there may be no RUU for my phone.
And I don't have enough posts to respond to developer posts, so if you direct me to something like that, its useless for me.
I should say, I'm rooted, I ignored updates on my phone for a long time. And I want to unroot, so I can have a simple phone again. I keep getting prompted to upgrade to 1.27.531.8. And if I say yes, my phone goes to recovery screen, tells me it's updating, FOREVER. I have to wait for my phone battery to die before I can use it again.
I have the HTC All-in-One.
What do I do to unroot my phone please. Please... Please.

Assuming you are S-ON, you will need to perform the following:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
[*]If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
[*]If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
[*]Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.

RUU TMOUS 3.24.531.3
RUU 4.19.531.10
RUU 5.14.531.9
Reboot your phone to the bootloader
Shut Down / Hold volume down + Power till you see the Bootloader screen
When in bootloader connect your phone to your PC you should see FASTBOOT USB
Now type in a command window:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
With your bootloader locked you can now run the RUU's in order.
If you want to S-OFF, I would do it with the earlier RUU because the later RUU will require you to pay to achieve S-OFF.

Response
Thank you for responding. Sorry for my delayed response, I work 2 jobs during the week and can only work on this during the weekend. I will post an update on Saturday. What is S-OFF? I've seen it. I know it's a setting. I can't recall what it stands for. Thank you.

S-ON is security on which will keep the user from corrupting the internal root folders. When you are S-OFF there is no security (security off) and the phone will not stop the user from corrupting the internal folders. You have to be very careful when updating firmware or RUU when you are S-OFF if you make a mistake it can brick your phone. With S-ON, it will keep you from installing the wrong firmware or RUU.

I can't download the following. I get directed to other locations that don't have these:
RUU 4.19.531.10
RUU 5.14.531.9
I've had to work these last 2 weekends. I'm trying to get this done. Do you know where else I can get them. also, I'm getting beat up with popups. I have to clean my computer before continuing. Also, why are the files gigabyte long, each? ok, I think I have all 4. It will be a while to download them.
Wait, RUU 4.19.531.10 leads me to a xba forum and the only link may be for the HTC M8, I have the M7, download it anyway?

@majmoz I'm in a similar situation. Trying to get my wife's phone updated to the latest Lollipop because the 4.4.3 downloads were failing to install. I'm currently factory reset on 4.4.2.
I had previously unlocked, put TWRP on there, but have done a couple things over the last 6 months and can't remember now. I just flashed a stock recovery, and then relocked the bootloader so it's showing;
*** TAMPERED ***

Just want to get back to a stock recovery, locked phone with stock Lollipop.

Unfortunately, Lollipop requires 6.xx framework. So you will need to run the RUU 6.10.531.10 first. Since you are S-ON your bootloader must be locked. Just follow the instructions on the download page.

Bootloader is locked.
So before you replied I ran the RUU updater for Lollipop. It detected the phone, and is now trying to update.. but it's just sitting at:
Updating.. (1/6) Sending...................
Updating the ROM image on your Android phone...
Please do not remove the USB connection from the Android phone or launch any programs duing the update process.
Remember, the operation will take about 10 minutes.
Says it will take 10 minutes, but it's been about 30+.
Kind of afraid to kill the update process at this point..
edit: OK unplugged the USB cable. Downloading the 4.4.3 RUU and will try it out.
But if a proper OTA update failed previously (way before I started unlocking, putting a custom recovery, etc), why would this work? I would always get the red exclamation mark when I tried doing the proper OTA update. :/

It gave me the error 155.
In the boot screen I'm seeing:
Hboot version is older!
Update fail!
Any thoughts? And thanks again for your help!
---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------
Oh.. it's because I tried to update to Lollipop first, isn't it...
hboot is now on 1.61.0000
if worse comes to worse, can I:
Unlock bootloader again
Flash TWRP
Find a flashable stock Lollipop ROM
Do you think that will work? And if so what do you recommend?

Just to make sure you can check fastboot getvar all to see if that is the case. If it is then you will need to gain S-OFF to downgrade your hboot so you can run the KK RUU successfully.
I am not sure that Sunshine S-OFF will work but it will tell you if it will before you pay.
The issue with flashing just the stock ROM, your firmware will be the old version and you can not upgrade it.

So First remove your IMEI and SERIALNO from your first post, there are sensitive data you don't want to share!
What TWRP version are you using? Is your bootloader still unlocked?

MD5 checksum those 2 files posted above using this software: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/77459918/WinMD5.exe
If this match its safe to flash, if not, redownload the file that is not matching.
Make sure both files are in the same folder where adb and fastboot are.
boot your phone in bootloader mode, select ''fastboot'' then connect usb cable to computer.
open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name_of_revovery_file>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then enter in recovery mode
Code:
adb push <name_of_rom>.zip /sdcard/
wait for the file to transfer, It can take up to 10-15 min (there will have no progress bar, just wait)
when you see the file transfer is complete from your cmd prompt
select ''install'' in twrp and browse the sdcard to find the .zip file and select it. swipe to flash
reboot phone

when you are in twrp recovery, go in your windows device manager. Your device should be listed under ''android usb devices ---> My HTC'' .
If its listed as ''Other devices ---> One'' then your driver are not properly installed and adb will not work.
in this case use this guide from nkk71
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
2) Q: I'm using Windows 7 what should I worry about
A: when you issue the command "fastboot boot CWM.img" (now only in CWM/TWRP restore method) there's a high chance drivers won't correctly install

just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways​
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery

when you are in twrp recovery, go in your windows device manager. Your device should be listed under ''android usb devices ---> My HTC'' .
If its listed as ''Other devices ---> One'' then your driver are not properly installed and adb will not work.
in this case use this guide from nkk71

looks like you have a corrupted partition. try to un-mount the cache partition and then format it. remount and try to flash again.

Why don't you let us know what problems you are having, what region the Rhyme is from (Europe, Asia,...?), what RUUs you've tried exactly, and what part of the RUU is not working (error codes)?
The more info you give the better we can help.

The problem is he stuck on switching on,
I have tryed the orginal RUU`s from htcdev.com ,but noone works.
I thing this rhyme is from Asia,becouse it have only 2 languages - Chaineese and English.
RUU ERROR - ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone.
Please get the corrent ROM Update Utility and try again.
Have you relocked the bootloader before running the RUU?
fastboot oem lock
I believe.

But to do this ,i need to enable USB Debugging ,but i cannt.
Is any automatic debugging for Rhyme?
That is not correct. You need to relock the bootloader while in the bootloader/fastboot mode so adb doesn't work there anyway.

Now is error 131
Error 131 should be because you are trying to use an HTC Rhyme RUU that is for a different region. If you don't have fastboot set up, you should (get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790). Once you have that set up, open a CMD prompt and change directories to the folder where your fastboot files are then boot to the bootloader again and plug it in. Then do this:
fastboot devices
(this should pull up a string of letters+numbers, if it does not, you are either in the wrong folder or drivers are not correct)
if you get something with fastboot devices then do this:
fastboot getvar all
and post that here. This will give us ALL the details about what is on the phone and where it is from, etc.
Also, post up the version you are trying, for a reference point.

[Q] Soft Brick -- Help me fix this the easy way please!

S-Off
Unlocked bootloader
Had HD Rev 62 on it, but wiped EVERYTHING (data, cache, etc etc) in TWRP
Updated TWRP to 2.8.
Fastboot working, adb is not.
Fastboot sees and communicated with device just fine.
ADB does not list any devices, or errors. Just returns blank beneath List of connected Devices.
Cannot boot into anything since no OS is present. HD Rev latest version gets errors about "android-info.txt" and android-product.txt.
"error: update package has no android info.txt or android product.txt"
I don't care what OS is loaded on it because I am sending it to my mother. What is the fastest way to get it up and running again? I'm hoping to ignore fixing the ADB drivers on my Windows 8.1 machine (64-bit).
Can I just do a fastboot quick fix? If so, which RUU/Rom/Firmware/whatever. Anything that fastboot update update.zip will fix.
Thanks guys!

Post a fastboot getvar all (except for imei and serialno). If you are in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB and run the command adb devices it will not work. ADB works in OS if USB Debugging is enabled or in recovery.

Nothing happens when I run the ruu. I get through to the agreement, accept, and then it disappears. Also, in the Sync manager, it's not showing my phone. I'm guessing this is a windows 8.1 problem?

Give this procedure a try!
Change USB ports (USB 2 is preferred) and cables if available
Uninstall anything HTC related from your computer such as HTC Sync Manager and Drivers. Also delete any HTC folders from your program files.
Make sure you leave the adb and fastboot that you downloaded.
Connect your device via USB to your computer and let it recognize it. It will automatically install default drivers.
A pop-up asking to install HTC Sync will appear, just ignore it or cancel it.
Make sure you set Fast Boot OFF in the Settings < Power on your phone, and USB Debugging enabled
Leave your phone ON and run the RUU set up.
I'm trying these things, but will it work on a phone that can't get to desktop? My phone isn't able to boot into android. It only can get into bootloader, recovery, and fastboot.

Let's attack this differently. Let's flash the firmware 5.14.531.1 in fastboot. After it is finished, then run the RUU.
Download firmware, rename to fimware.zip and place in your fastboot folder.
Then put phone in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB then, type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.

[Q] Unable to install ROM

I have AT& T HTC One M7 (unlocked is displayed in HBOOT). It had crashed once before but I was able to get it back up and running using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/bricked-htc-one-m7-attempting-to-t2856447
But now it has crashed/bricked again and even after following the same steps, I am unable to get it up and running. Two new things I see is even if I select install recovery during installation, it goes back to twrp and looks like twrp is never able to install root access on this device.

Download the stock 5.12.502.2 recovery and place in your adb/fastboot folder.
Boot into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery 5.12.502.2.recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Boot into Recovery and perform a factory reset
Reboot back to bootloader
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
I would stick with the Guru Reset it can be done in TWRP. If the stock Recovery does not do the trick, then you could try the stock firmware. You will have to relock your bootloader before you can flash it.
Well.. I am clueless now

After you ran the stock firmware or Guru Reset did you try to boot into system? If you didn't then you need to see if that fixed your issue. It might be ViperOne causing the issue with a bad boot.img. You can check the firmware to see if it has a boot.img in the zip. Just open the zip and look to see if there is a boot.img.

Yes.. I do see the boot. img in the Guru Reset; however, for some reason I am unable to open the firmware zip. I guess I am going to try flashing guru reset without firmware. Another question I had was about "You will have to relock your bootloader before you can flash it." I am trying to flash it leaving bootloader unlocked. Could that be the problem. If yes, can you please please give me the exact sequence I need to follow before flash and after copying Guru Reset to device. (I am using adb push for the same).

If you are flashing the firmware, then you have to lock your bootloader since you are S-ON. Here is how you would flash the firmware.
Code:
[B][I]adb reboot bootloader[/I][/B]
After that, type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then, type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]

You will have to unlock your bootloader before you push Guru Reset to your phone. If you have your old Unlock_code.bin you might try it first, if it fails use the whole procedure:
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

If you are flashing the firmware, then you have to lock your bootloader since you are S-ON. Here is how you would flash the firmware.
You will have to unlock your bootloader before you push Guru Reset to your phone. If you have your old Unlock_code.bin you might try it first, if it fails use the whole procedure:

I tried all the steps and see a little progress.. now my phone keeps rebooting on HTC beatsaudio screen. The sequence I followed was as below:
1. Unlocked the device with unlock bin from HTCdev and rebooted in bootloader (Shows as unlocked and tampered).
2. Pushed TWRP and Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA
3. Installed Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA using install from TWRP.
4. Checked if the phone is up and running on reboot --> No luck (rebooting on HTC beatsaudio screen)
5. Rebooted phone again in bootloader.
6. Locked the device (fastboot oem lock) . At this step got an error on last line "too many links"
7. fastboot oem rebootRUU (got the silver screen)
8. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (twice) waited for about a minute after getting confirmation in command prompt.
9. fastboot reboot
I believe I am not doing anything wrong. It is really frustrating now since everyone is sending me birthday wishes today on phone and I am unable to see any :crying:

Since the last thing you flashed was the stock firmware, boot into Stock Recovery and do a factory reset then reboot back to bootloader. Install TWRP and if the Guru Reset is still on your phone then flash it. If not, then push it to your phone like before. Hopefully, the factory reset in Recovery will clean out any outstanding issues.
Moved on to M8.. but still like to fix m7
Unfortunately none of the above steps worked hence I decided to move on with M8. However now that I have a working phone (M8) I am open to experiment with my M7.
Yesterday I tried restoring M7 nandroid backup from HTC guru and had some luck. But I guess I downloaded an older version of nandroid backup. So two questions:
1. Can anyone point me to correct version of nandroid backup that I can restore. (Phone is unlocked, S-On and not rooted. If I need to root it then I will need some guidance).
2. Any other method you guys can suggest to get the phone up and running again.

Thanks @clsA.. I have downloaded and copied the nandroid to device as mentioned in the post. Just one more question before I restore.. do I need to modify anything in the recovery. txt or I can simply restore it as-is

@clsA.. I was able to restore the backup and saw the home screen. However after that it went to bootloop. I tried factory reset as you mentioned but no luck. Any thoughts? I am thinking of updating firmware?

firmware is not going to help you have already done that
go into TWRP and wipe / format data ..type yes
push this rom to your phone and try it

@clsA.. tried installing new rom you mentioned but no luck and it's back to bootloop from HTC screen. I am now thinking to restore your nandroid backup and look into build.prop. In one of the readings I came across this command which I believe is for getting usb debugging enabled.
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 1
start adbd
I am thinking to boot in twrp and run above command in adb shell. If successful then I think I can try rumrunner or firewater to s-off the phone... Totally frustrated now.. I have no idea why nothing is working on this phone.
USB Debugging ON now

@clsA... after some more research I found a way to enable USB debugging so steps I followed were:
1. Restored nandroid backup you mentioned in above post.
2. Modified build.prop and default.prop from PC and pushed them back in /system and / respectively.
3. I can now see usb debugging enabled in the home screen.
Only issue I am facing now is even after factory reset phone goes in bootloop from home screen (home screen always remains locked). Any thoughts?
If I somehow get S-Off by rumrunner or firewater would I have more options?

We can't help much, as you give virtually no info. Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Any error messages or error numbers given when you try to run the RUU? If so, tell us exactly what they say.
Also need the full and exact file name of the RUU you are trying to run.
If the phone is s-on, an unlocked bootloader will make the RUU fail, every time. You need to relock the bootloader (only exception is if you have s-off) and can do so with the command: fastboot oem lock
It also needs to be the RUU needs to be the proper version number (RUU must be equal or greater than main version on the phone - meaning no "downgrading" unless you have s-off), which is why I asked for the RUU file name and getvar info.
As long as the phone's screen comes on, its mostly likely not bricked.

What do you mean by "always"? How many times did you try it?
You might just try a different PC (if possible) to see if that makes any difference.
Its the right RUU, and as long as the bootloader is RELOCKED, I don't see many reasons for it not to work.
What was your reason for RUU? Were you experiencing any issues before-hand that caused you to try RUU?
When did you unlock the bootloader?

No, you need to give more detail than that.
What you mean you "want fix the cell phone"?
What exact issue were you having that made you want to "fix" it?
Find the RUU log on your PC, and copy/paste it to a post (remove any serial number or IMEI info before posting, if present).
It is alarming your fastboot getvar all shows 0v for battery level. As @redpoint73 said, what issues were you trying to "fix" to need an ruu? after the RUU you are saying the phone just hangs on the white HTC screen. while in bootloader can you try the command "fastboot oem task 28"? I don't know what you had on the phone before the RUU but just maybe doing that might fix some lingering issues.

oem task 28 is the fastboot command to clear the /data partition. some RUUs need a task 28 if the rom wasn't an official/sense rom. after you ran that task, can it boot properly now?

When it gets to that point, does it freeze up or shut down? If it shuts down, let it charge while off for a good few hours then try to turn it back on. If it freezes, there may be a bad sector of your nand.
