[GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock

Narship · Mar 28, 2014

Glad it worked out :good:

Why not run a custom ROM?? if you want to change to international unbranded?

1- you'll need to be S-Off

2- please post an updated "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)

3- any language pack in particular you'll need? because if you're looking for Spanish / Peru (es_PU), it seems the .401. editions don't have it

:

or you could use a locale changer from the play store.

Hi!

I really really like to use sense, but my country operator (Claro Peru) uses a series of icons and customization that spoils the beauty of HTC.

(Besides the custom roms are somewhat unstable ^_^)

I would like Latin American language (Peru there, so Spanish would be nice)
Spanish Language in Mexico or Spain would be great.

Here I leave my report:

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.55.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.20.3263.16
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 3.20.598.1
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
(bootloader) serialno: SH41KW******
(bootloader) imei: 3544350*********
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_u
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064

(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__332

A MASSIVE THANK YOU, mine is all done, no vodafone rubbish & no vodafone app's and is now getting OTA's excellent work and very very helpful. One thing I did have a small problem with was when in other bootloader screen the PC lost coms with the phone and I had to load Guru_Bootloader_Reset_1.0 from a USB stick after that it all went well

THANK YOU

Hi my phone has been working perfect, thank you again. I now might have a problem, my phone has to go back to HTC for pink camera problems, I have called them and they tell me to send it in, question is do I have to do anything before I do so they dont know its been tampered with ?

Thanks

Can you elaborate on the state of the phone.... in general if bootloader shows LOCKED (not relocked), and doesn't have TAMPERED, then it should be good to go.
Some countries have issues with the phone being S-Off, but technically they shouldn't.

yes LOCKED and no tampered is good; i don't know if you're repair center cares about s-off/s-on, that really depends where you are and who does the repair.
BUT, don't try to go s-off to s-on on your current version... it will likely trigger the TAMPERED again.

Good morning

thanks for answer.

Mmm yes, you're right, when you actually used the MIUI rom had almost no errors *and moreover I do not want to use cyanogen xD

OK, tonight I come home and start the S-OFF process but first I would like to clarify some doubts.

1. Is there any way to unlock the bootloader without using HTC DEV? (To save the warranty).
2. As I can make a copy of my Stock Recovery? (I do not plan to use TWRP or CWM).
3. The RUU change affects GPS parameters? My Location? Operator recognition by region or navigation? (I don't know about RADIO)

I'm from Latin America, so I would really a RUU with Mexico Spanish language (LA). (Spanish Spain is another continent EU xD)

Thanks for all the help buddy. I'll check back later when the website comes back up

EDIT: I had a long look at the guide post and came up with these 2 downloads. Correct me if im wrong.

First I would need to install this: ~~http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_google-edition_4-4_3-58-1700-5-zip/~~ but have to change my CID to one of those listed first.
Then after changing my CID back to the original I would flash this nandroid backup to CWM http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc__039-1-29-980-2-2013-05-11-zip/

Then I should find the closest stock recovery to 3.63.980.2 and finally use guru reset to relock the bootloader

Thanks in advance

Almost! but the ruu is no good!! (and not google edition!!) You should always go for the "lowest common denominator".... so stick with 1.xx things, lower is better not higher.

the ruu you need is already mentioned in my guide (in post #4):
"for PN0714000: set CID to HTC__044, and download this RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_ul_jb_50_htc_asia_wwe_1-29-707-3_r_radio_4a-14-3250-13_10-33-1150-01_release_311678_signed-zip/"

then continue with the guide, and use CWM backup you mentioned above.

remember to get a stock recovery which is close, so possibly this one: http://d-h.st/BbX

Please make sure you have read the guide and are comfortable with it.... otherwise ask away.

Good Luck

Hi all,

Today I did transfer some files with my one to an other phone with es explorer when suddenly my phone became into a bootloop.
The phone will boot loop when the animation screen is 3 sec on his way. So I did try to get into Recovery (TWRP) but when the twrp bootscreen in screen it reboots again.
I

So I did fastboot erase cache with no results solving the problem
I did re-flashed TWRP with no results solving the problem
I did re-flashed firmware from here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2316726 with no results solving the problem.

The divice is NOT able to boot into ROM and recovery

Can someone please help me with this?

ROM I am running [ROM][MAR 20] ViperOne 5.8.0 | 4.19.401.11 | Android 4.4.2 Sense 5.5

I do have backups, even from before flashing custom roms
First backup I made with the following command: adb backup -apk -all -f backup.ab
All the other backups where made with TWRP and I have them stored at my pc.

Bootloader info: M7 UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-T-MOB101 (I did had super sid but I chanced it back before making drastic steps to come)
HBOOT 1.56.0000

Hey!

I am now S-OFF,

Spanish from Spain is good but actually a Spanish-America would be ideal. (thanks in advance).

By the way, before continuing with RUU, I'm trying out some ROMS (I wish I had some recommendations ^^)

hey @nkk71 I wanted to know is it safe flashing a dev edition (Brightstar US) RUU over T-Mobile phone? This guy reported it to be working flawlessly http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2323257

However, I am not sure about the OTA's. I believe I have to update mid and cid for OTA's.

My current stats:
Originally a Tmobile phone
mid - 713000
cid - SuperCid
GPE - 4.4.2
Firmware - 3.62.1700.1
Hboot 1.54
S-OFF

What I am scared of is changing mid. I read alot of forum and I have until now stayed away from messing around with mid.

I didn't read the other thread you mentioned, but yes, it's easy enough to change a GSM model to a US Developer Edition:

1- you need to be S-Off, and I highly recommend you DO NOT EVEN THINK about S-On

2- US Dev Edition has: modelid: PN0712000 and cid: BS_US001

3- with S-Off there's no need to relock bootloader, so keep bootloader UNLOCKED

4- change CID: fastboot oem writecid BS_US001

5- change MID: using [TOOL] MID change without ENG HBOOT | Aroma GUI
^^ this is done using custom recovery as mentioned in the thread, it's easy and safe, no need to mess with ENG hboots!!

6- flash Dev Edition (x.xx.1540.x) ruu.zip from http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-zip-downloads/
although there is a 3.22.1540.1 version, i personally prefer lower versions in general (and then take OTAs), so i would use 1.29.1540.3
but that's just my personal preference
....remember to check MD5 on the download to make sure it's not corrupt!! (some people were having bad downloads a few days ago)

all done

you can take OTA updates at your will.

cy88 · Apr 11, 2014

nkk71, thanks for the comprehensive guide, it's very easy to follow and works great so far! I am getting MD5 mismatch from CWM for restoring ROGER001 CWM Backup. Already tried different ways of downloading it and downloaded it about 4 times.

Is it a known issue?

Thanks!
