My phone is broken and I need to get it fixed but dont want any problems with warranty so to be on the safe side would like to restore everything back to normal, dont think i still have my first ever nandroid backup unfortunately.

Hello!
I have the same problem. I want to revert to HTC Stock ROM, because I'm selling the phone. The RUU telling me that it;
"cannot update the phone. Get the correct ROM-update-utility, and try again."
Appriciate any tips about this
/Rune
EDIT: I found a RUU which went trough now...so Issue is solved in my case!
I've had my wife running custom roms but I'm tired of her complaining about somethings that seem strange... so I want to put her back 100% stock, including losing root and the latest HBOOT (so she loses NAND unlock as well). I honestly think something is wrong with her phone, which is why I want it back 100% stock so if it keeps doing funky things I can take it to Sprint. Her touchscreen is constantly losing responsiveness and the only way to get it back is to manually turn off the phone (with the power button), then turn it back on... also, her proximity sensor isn't working and she keeps hanging up the phone with her cheek...
Does anyone know where I can get a file for this? Thanks.
Also, if she decides, she hates it, is the latest OTA rootable yet?

If I could find it, I would have. All I can find are modified ROMs. Thanks for nothing.
I think you can just go into your phone settings and do an update. (System update >htc software update ) and it'll bring the phone back to stock. It'll probably overwrite everything ....
Wow this was hard

those will kill root, but they wont turn S-OFF to S-ON. That would be a different thing entirely. Plus, those are the older roms. Would need to take the update after updating to those... just sayin.
Since unrooting it will wipe data anyways, why not try downloading a new rooted stock ROM, wipe your data/cache/dalvik-cache (each twice just to be sure) and then flash the new stock ROM and see if that helps. If not, then you can go ahead and proceed with unrooting and bringing the phone back to Sprint for replacement/repairs. Just thinking this might be easier than unrooting, updating with OTA, and then finding out you want to root it again later....but that's entirely up to you.
Good Luck
My computer died in the middle of rom flash, which caused my T-Mobile SGS4 to nearly brick. I attempted several recoveries (CWM, TWRP, and OUDHS) and several custom & stock roms (including odin) before I was finally able to see some life in it. Because of this, the baseband is the official stock after the update (uvuamdl), and the build number is the official stock prior to the update (uvuamdb). I don't think this would normally be a problem, but now I am unable to flash a custom or stock rom so I think it may be the reason. The phone does not run very smooth, and a notification asking me to reboot because of errors keeps popping up. It is now rooted as well. Is there a way or method to bring everything back to stock?
Thanks,

If you can get into Download Mode, use ODIN to bring everything back to stock.

I had the same problem and all you need to do is Odin the new stock firmware again. You can get the firmware here in the android development area.
Hello All,
Due to my endless frustrations, this might be a long one so please bear with me!
So I purchased a Verizon Global HTC ONE M7 from the States, I am currently in Nigeria and the only thing that makes me sadder and more frustrated than the state of my phone right now is the incessant terror attacks in the country! Initially, almost everything worked fine when i popped in my new Etisalat sim card into the phone, except for the mobile hotspot (which just conveniently turns out to be the one of the top 3 most important features in a phone for me - probably the feature I use the most) this message kept popping up about how hotspot couldn't be used without a VZW sim, etc (also with the non-verizon sim warning when the phone boots up). I tried all I could, eventually deciding to flash a new ROM to clear out everything Verizon and start fresh.
Enter Viperone 6.2.0 - everything worked initially, but after a few weeks i noticed if I did anything like watch a youtube video or download something over a few MBs 90% of the time the data drops (no visible signs like changes from E to H or 3g or the likes, everything looks the same, just that the data stops), toggle mobile data on/off and data connection is back. It worsened and became more frequent over time. Upgraded to Viperone 6.2.1, no difference, so i figured its probably the viperone rom.
Enter Cyanogenmod - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-oneplus-one-stock-rom-cm11s-verizon-t2857425 - and its the same exact issue from the beginning, so im guessing its not to do with the ROM at all (though there are one or two niggling issues with the ROM - cant change BBM display pic, etc)?! I've really tried to comb through the forum and see what makes sense that i could try without bugging y'all - I did a factory reset, wiped everything completely and its the same thing.
I've seen suggestions to similar issues like: flash stock recovery, update radio/firmware/kernel, flash back to custom recovery and some other things which are beginning to sound quite dangerous in my ignorance!! I did believe updating the firmware made sense but after digging deeper, i must honestly say i'm quite confused on what to do. what radio/firmware/kernel works with what software version, etc- most firmware that i've seen are 4.4.3 compatible, while this ROM is 4.4.4., some of them seem to be for stock ROMs only and a lot of other confusions.
So, I'm not gonna be a hero and brick my phone from trying to do what i do not understand, instead here i am, hat in hand, crying out for help after suffering for 3 months! Its really frustrating as, downloads break causing me to lose data, skype or MSLync calls always break and im beginning to look unprofessional to people! This is why I have decided to put up a post of my own specific to my case so i don't medicate for someone else's ailments. So please........ WHAT EXACTLY DO I DO??
PHONE DETAILS (typing it out as i've just realized on this ROM i can't take screenshots with Power+Home button combo anymore and can't be bothered at this point!!!)
ANDROID VERSION: 4.4.4
BASEBAND VERSION: 1.12.41.1112_2
KERNEL VERSION: 3.4.82-gfe09065; [email protected] #1; Wed oct 8 01:36:03 PDT 2014
BUILD DATE: SUN AUG 3 23:00:51 PDT 2014
BUILD NUMBER: CYANOGENMOD 11S v5 (Verizon)
SELinux status: Enforcing
Thanks
Have you tried a stock version of sense? Essentially what our phone was meant to run. Viper uses a lot of custom tweaks for the masses, and sometimes carrier specifics get finicky. I would suggest santods stock Rom, bonestock, or ecliptic. I think nusense uses an international base and not strictly vzw, but you could also try that one...and santod can clarify about the details.
Hope you get it going.

Can you flash stock recovery from Santod's firmware thread and do a factory reset? It could be a corrupt nv partition which would only be fixed by doing a factory reset via stock recovery. (If you must, make a nandroid of system and data in your recovery of choice so you can restore your data if you wish).

So.. i found time to get to this and decided to go with your suggestion of Santod's stock rom... and now, i think i've done the unthinkable!! After WIPING EVERYTHING "All partitions except SD!" as the instructions stated... i attempted to reboot into bootloader and got a message saying "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot"... that scared me a bit, but i thought surely, it must be part of the process! I proceed to reboot to bootloader to flash the firmware and i cant seem to do anything!!
Fastboot is stuck on " waiting for device" for everything i try.
Also, i rebooted back into recovery and attempted to install the stock rom: i get the error message "unable to open zip file"..
Have i destroyed my phone with my own hands, people? :crying:

FALSE ALARM FOLKS!!! I decided to attempt flashing the CM11 rom i just uninstalled and it worked. Turns out its a known issue with the .zip file for that rom - i am now re-downloading from another mirror. Meanwhile the Fastboot thing was just a driver issue - though i'm surprised because i had all the drivers installed on the system and have used fastboot successfully - anyway i reinstalled the drivers and all was well with fastboot again.
NB: Don't get tired of me just yet please!

hello!
Thanks for your ideas guys. I'm currently running Santod's stock rom (which is brilliant, i must say, i actually wanna stay on this rom) since friday - thought i'd give it the whole weekend and see how it goes.. BUT! i still get thoseconnection drops.. and frequently too.
Any other ideas on what the issue could be?

If doing factory reset from stock recovery doesn't fix it, it is most likely a burned SIM. It has happened to me. (Average 150+ GB a month in data, so I burn em easily)

Uz has it right, you need to flash a stock recovery and THEN do a factory reset, then reload your custom recovery and rom. I had the exact same issue before. Or you could flash an ruu file which would reset the partitions also.

Hey folks, apologies for the touch and go nature of this thread - i just don't have a lot of free time on my hands and other reasons..
Anyhow, i think I want to try out ur suggestion of flashing an RUU - I noticed that im unable to actually enter recovery after flashing stock recovery from Santod's thread (i flashed the latest three recoveries). I can get to bootloader, but when i select recovery, the phone goes black for a few seconds and then i get the RED TRIANGLE WITH THE EXCLAMATION MARK INSIDE, obviously something's wrong, few seconds later the phone reboots itself into normal mode. I did do a factory reset from bootloader, but issue persists.
So now to the RUU flashing issue - could you suggest one for me to flash?
By the way though, isn't flashing an ruu gonna take me back to stock completely (as in back to S-ON, ETC..)?
Thanks a whole bunch - IM DETERMINED TO GET THIS TO WORK!!!

That is in fact stock recovery man. When you get the triangle press volume up and power at the same time. You will enter stock recovery.
Any of my ruu will run fine. You won't lose s-off or unlocked status. You flash them in boot loader fastboot mode.

Bless your soul! i'll give it a go shortly...
Hello, I am currently on PureNexus Rom with twrp 3.0.2RC1 on the pixel xl. I would like to flash back to completely stock because I am having some issues. I found a step by step tutorial but am apprehensive because some steps confuse me. I already got into trouble once when trying to flash PN rom. I don't want to do anything stupid like use a wrong file or anything like that. Is there anyone that could assist me if I run into issues. Also, I have just created a backup but if I flash to stock and run into trouble, I wouldn't be able to restore my backup, would i?? I would think flashing stock removes twrp Which I would need to restore a backup and think i would have a vendor image issue, right?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
What issues do you have?
Maybe no need to flash stock.
I myself flash back to stock every 6 month just to clean things up even it is not necessary.
I pm you my infos
Stock
Dl titanium backup all your apps
Backup that folder to pc
Backup everything else you need back to pc
You need latest Google drivers for flashing stock.
Check out unified Android toolkit helps me get back to stock very easily

Thanks for the replies. I was having a issue with battery drain. My text messages, if not looked at, would repeatedly wake up the screen every minute. In the course of about 5 hours, Android operating system would chew through 38% battery. I did a factory reset and reinstalled PN and the issue appears to be corrected. Don't know what was causing it, tried to isolate the issue but could not find. So, for now, i will stay on this rom as long as the issue doesn't reappear. I think somehow ambient display was messed up even though it was off.

Ok if the issue comes back maybe you can try a different rom.
