Hello All,

Read so many different posts regarding this I have a headache. Looking to unroot my HTC One (Which never successfully rooted anyway and wouldn't let me run apps such as DSploit saying it wasn't rooted but can no longer update via OTA so guess it needs flashing).

I have relocked the bootloader using fastboot oem lock

I have tried using one RUU I found but this failed: RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed

My phone carrier is Vodafone but the phone is Sim-free

you will either need to push this file to your internal storage, OR, if your still able to boot to your rom, plug in your phone and then copy it to your internal storage.

then using a custom recovery like TWRP, flash it like you would do with a custom rom, make sure when prompted in the aroma installer, you select wipe data, install stock radio and install stock recovery, once its done and your phone is back on you should get working OTA's, next time, MAKE A BACKUP.

Hi, my mobile is not properly rooted, no matter what I try I cant fix it. Towel root shows SU Access but No root. When I run the app and make it rain, it momentarily appears to give me root as I can run dsploit. Very soon after, or after a manual restart, its gone again.

Don't I need root to even run a RUU file?

How the hell can this be fixed. Agreed I should have run a backup, lesson learned

Phone is still working just cant get OTA updates, or run my favourite app DSPloit

Thanks for your help, I do appreciate your time
