Hi Guys,

I am in a bit of a pickle.

I decided to Install Cyanogenmod today to see what the fuss was all about - I managed to do this successfully but then after using it for a while actually didn't like it and preferred using Sense 5.

I tried to flash stock to my HTC One (UK M7ul) via the RUU method but this failed twice.

The phone is currently will only boot into Bootloader regardless of what I try so will not even boot into Cyanogenmod at all, when ever i click recovery as CWM was installed the phone will flash for a second saying starting recover and then go straight back into bootloader.

I am currently on Bootloader 1.55 with S-On - Phone is locked and will not allow me to unlock it.

I really need some help to get my phone fully functional again on HTC Sense Stock Firemware.

good thing you posted a ''fastboot getvar all'' but never post IMEI and SN, remove them from your post.

To restore the phone back to stock with a ruu, you need to be s-off to downgrade hboot to 1.44. So you will have to unlock bootloader from htcdev, install twrp custom recovery, flash arhd 31.6, s-off with rumrunner, downgrade hboot and then run the ruu.

all details can be found in this guide.

Thanks for the help guys - I have issues with my computer not recognising my phone.

I have managed to unlock it again and am trying to get either one of the two methods you guys suggested to work.

Dunno how I am going to get this file on there?

IS there anything I need to do now as matter of good practie?

The bootloader is currently still inlocked - S-On is still activated and I still have the *tampered* logo.

Do I need to A) Lock the boot loader?
Should i turn S-Off?
How do I get rid of the tampered logo so its fully stock and I can get it repaired from HTC again?

unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2
options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner
(preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix thi
s issue for you!!!.

did you flash an unsecured kernel?

"(bootloader) version-main: 3.62.401.1" or just install ARHD 31.6 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 which has all the prerequisites.

if you're having problems with Windows, try Ubuntu Live USB: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606577

I am using the Guru_Reset_3.62.401.1 from the link - I assume that this Stock rom is secured?

I could flash ARHD 51.0 and I may even stay on that if the perform is much superior..... at least If I S-Off on that I can fully stock if there are any issues.

ARHD 51 is basically Kitkat with Sense on it right?

Thanks for all your help it is greatly appreciated.

Use ARHD 31.6 (because it's inline with your firmware 3.62.401.1), then use rumrunner to get S-Off

    So is your phone stuck in bootloader or does it boot to a rom? You can't s-off without a working rom... so why are you trying to push revone anyway?

    push and flash a rom 1st, then s-off and after you'll be able to flash gpe rom.

    and like sahilzz said above, adb commands=custom recovery or booted rom, fastboot commands=bootloader so you can't use adb push from bootloader.

    btw better to use adb and fastboot from terminal instead of using toolkits ;)
