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

I had already had my phone's bootloader unlocked and rooted and had a GPe ROM installed and worked perfectly. THEN I saw that you could literally make it a Google Play edition phone complete with OTA and worked on trying to achieve that. Getting my phone S-Off wasn't working because I believe of my HBOOT version (1.55) so I was told to download this stock ROM that would downgrade me to reach a version that I could then run revone to achieve S-OFF.

I ran a backup through TWRP first and then flahsed this ROM, which has kept my HTC One at the HTC One splash screen. I connected it to my computer/ADB and got it into the bootloader to go into custome recovery BUT the recovery takes me to a black screen with a phone and red triangle, so it's like my recovery isn't there anymore. Fine.
I download the latest TWRP for my phone(triple checked) and ran the fastboot flash recovery command through ADB but it says
"(bootloader) signature checking...FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"
is there some sort of way to disable the signature check using ADB or am I actually going about this the wrong way?
I'll admit, I don't do this stuff oftem, so ask as many questions as needed as I probably left out details you may need
I may be wrong but you may have to re-lock the bootloader and run the ruu back to stock.
nandroid backup restore won't change the hboot so I don't think you'll have any luck there.
I'm running ARHD 40 just till we can find a way to run s-off on our AT&T devices.

Not to sound n00b-ish, but what would be the best way of doing this?
EDIT: Actually it is relocked already! Duh! On the bootloader screen it says "TAMPERED" and then "RELOCKED" below that
That's alright, we were all noobs at some point in time.
Sounds like you re-locked the bootloader without stock recovery.

Run the RUU from a windows based computer that has HTC drivers and it should restore it back to stock.

You can always unlock the bootloader again, install twrp and try to boot and see if that works.
Install the nandroid backup matching your system and you can then get to your data.

Sure thing man. It's stuck at that screen because when your phone is unlocked, it allows custom recovery but when it's locked, it won't boot unless it finds the stock recovery. I am not 100% sure but I've had that issue as well. I had to run the RUU to get back to stock since you can't lock the bootloader with custom recovery and expect it to boot. It may vary from device to device but I've always had to RUU back to stock or fastboot flash stock recovery to get past that screen before you lock the bootloader. You can try again, there is stock recovery posted by someone in forums. Download that, try to go in fastboot mode and try fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img. I think once you've locked the bootloader it may not work but worth a shot.

Thank you. I'm downloading the .exe and will post the results. But it looks like that might take a few hours :/
hey is there another link? that one is so slow and keeps timing out :/
You can either use download manager or chrome browser is pretty good at managing that.

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.
I need some help on my Verizon Thunderbolt. I did something dumb and need some help. Hopefully someone is able to direct me to the correct path.
I was trying to install a rooted and debloated rom for my device. I just want to use it as a clock.
So I ended up unlocking the bootloader and installed CWM touch.
I forgot to make a backup and wipe the entire device right away. I installed stock rooted rom, it shows black screen after the HTC screen. I just realized that I have forgotten to S-OFF.
Now I was trying to install RUU so I can boot the device up and S-OFF.
I tried googling for a few hours and I could not find stock firmware or RUU. All of them are dead link.
For some reason, I am unable to install stock rom when I booted into Fastboot and have the stock zip (P4IMG.zip <<< I forgot how to spell it). It checked everything but does not show up the menu to let me flash the stock firmware.
Now I have: Unlocked bootloader, S-On, CWM Touch installed.
I would like to know is it anyway flash a working rom (stock gb or any and not dead link) so that I am able to boot up and carry out S-Off.
Thanks,
Appreciate any feedback and replies.
hi i need to get some clarification. i want to unlock and s-of with sunshine ut to install a custom recovery before i need to do a nandroid back up of my stock rom and recovery how could i do that if i dont know how to use adb i havent messed with my htc ever i used a g2 so i know rootinf i just need help with this
You can't make a nandroid of your stock recovery without adb; at least any method that I know of. adb is not difficult to learn, and its quite critical to know, both for performing a variety of functions, and an invaluable tool for recovering from problems. I highly recommend having adb setup, and knowing the basic functions (and that is really all that is needed).
That being said, making a nandroid of your stock ROM and recovery isn't really necessary, as the AT&T version of the M8 has RUUs that will easily return your phone to (nearly) stock condition if needed.
Thanks for that I also wanted to know if I flash that ruu to go back to stock how can I get the stock recovery or is it included

Stock recovery is included in the RUU, as implied in my previous post. RUU is a complete image, includes all partitions (recovery, hboot, radio, ROM, etc.).
So from my twrp I just flash the ruu and that's it ?

You don't flash an RUU from recovery. Its a .exe that you run with your computer connected to a PC.
Or there is a bootable version that was created by an XDA user, that doesn't require a PC (posted in General forum section).
Either way, once its running the RUU will walk you through step-by-step, its very easy to use. Just backup any personal data before you RUU, as the phone will be wiped.
I'm on hboot version 3.16 but I need to go up to 3.19 or the latest one. I don't know how to do this so I'm hoping XDA will help. I currently have an unlocked boot loader and a rooted SkyDragon GPE ROM on 4.4.4. I tried the update to 5.0.1 with the SkyDragon ROM but the WiFi doesn't work. The FAQ for the ROM said this:
"Q: Why isn't wifi working?
A: Need to flash either latest GPE L firmware in this post, or Latest Sense firmware 4.16.xxxx.x. If you are S-ON however you will have to wait until you get latest Official OTA for your device as you cannot flash a different firmware unless you are S-OFF. If you still don't have wifi after firmware flash you need to clean your system/data(Not sdcard)/cache and reflash the rom."

Even if you flash the latest 4.4.4 ATT update you still may have issues,You cant flash non att device firmware unless s-off,and as there is no official lollipop version for ATT.youd need to be s-off to get it all updated,changing cid and mid for gpe device requires this to be fully converted.
Bootloader question,I think if s-on you have to relock bootloader to take the ota(could be wrong,search this answer)
Root question yes youll loose root by going back to stock
Flashing:
Flash the backup of stock ROM via twrp.
Copy stock recovery to adb/fastboot location,connect phone via fastbootusb,open command prompt run fastboot flash recovery (nameofrecovery).img
There are more in depth tutorials here on the forum that answer all your question,suggest reading before jumping in with both feet
Edit: Dottat has uploaded the signed firmware for 3.42.502.1 in General Section so go there, grab it, and flash away (don't forget to give that man a thumb up for his REAL effort)
Yes, you CAN absolutely flash firmware with S-On. If your main-version through getvar is 1.58.502.1 or below, you can run the RUU for 4.4.3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-ruu-m8ul-4-4-3-t2860423
Then run the latest RUU for 4.4.4 to get newer hboot.
Disregard ALL the claims about unable to flash firmware with S-On, those who insist so are simply too lazy to explain that their uploaded firmware packages are modified ones from the originals. If the firmware comes signed by HTC, you can flash it as long as you meet all the pre-requisites (version-main, MODELID, CID) :fingers-crossed:
