Unrooting/Relocking my HTC One

RRaczak said:

I'm trying to setback to factory settings. So tampered/unlocked are gone again. I tried to follow a guide but it just told me my image could not be updated. Yes It has been asked many a time before. I have spent 3 hours looking through the information trying to figure it out. Something I'm confused about is my Version-Main is blank. I don't know what I need to do, what recovery file I need. If anyone could Help i would really appreciate it. And please be noob friendly! I'm very new to this. I have viewed all the tutorials, all varietys of them, and to no avail. Direct downloads with specific instructions would be very appreciated!!!

This thread should help you. Just follow the instructions, and your phone will be back to factory default settings. It will wipe everything though.

I was having the same issue. But this is what I did to fix it. Kind of a lot of work!
I think the problem was my Hboot was at 1.57 and that messed with all the RUUs. I tried several different ones and that explorer failed every time. Once I put it on Hboot 1.44 and ran the 1.29RUU it worked on the first try.

1. S-Off your device (if not already!)

2. Download the Hex Stock Zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314921

3. Download the Bootloader Unlock Tool from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/11/new-bootloader-unlock-tool/

4. Download this RUU (it can only be this one!!): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250904

5. Once you're s-off, transfer the Hex Stock Zip to your device and flash it in TWRP (or whatever custom recovery). This should make your bootloader show HBoot 1.44 again.

6. Transfer the Bootloader Unlock Tool to your device and flash it in recovery. You'll want to check the option to lock your bootloader.

7. Connect your phone to the USB and run the RUU wizard. This should take about 10 minutes but it should work! (It didn't look like it was working for me at first, but eventually I could see the progress bar on the phone moving.)

8. Next, you'll have to boot back into fastboot and "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" to turn s-on.

9. The phone will be running Android 4.1 (I think), so you'll have to update it about 5 times before it's on Sense 6.


Hope this works!!

Sadly in my attempt to do these steps i tried to s-off my phone. The first method was rumrunner and it just said "wont work for you, goodluck". Next one was revone which gave me error - 1. And in my attempt to find the fix for error one I was told to flash a rom and in doing so now rendered my phone useless. I can no longer enter Recovery. Wiping my phone by locking/unlocking it changes nothing. So I can either power it up and watch it loop or go to fastboot area in bootloader. Now i'm really desperate as I'm expecting calls for a new job on Monday and guess which phone number they have? ((

Damn.. that really sucks. The only option now is to send it back to Sprint and hope for a new one. Say that your phone shut off during an OTA update or something along those lines. Also, is it possible to use another phone for calling? That might save you

Also, sorry for not replying earlier, was away from home.

dude?

***ADB won't find my devices, drivers won't instal, I reflashed recovery so i can get into recovery but it seems to just fail at all tasks now. I can't enter sideload and all wipes I try just say fail.
