I have tried a search but can't find what I'm looking for. I am rooted but want to do the OTA update. I have downloaded the correct stock recovery .img file but what is the procedure to flash this?
Thanks, Craig
Rename the stock recovery to recovery.img and place it in the fastboot folder ..... Put the phone in the bootloader and flash it from the command prompt on the pc
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache

Hi Craig
I've seached and cannot find a suitable stock image download for a UK HTC One on the Orange network (if that makes any difference).
Could you post where you downloaded a stock image from please?
I've found plenty of M7 RUU links but it seems a bit crazy to reflash everything including the radio just to reset the bootloader.
Thanks in advance

Recovery is present in RUU. If u have found the correct RUU then just extract the recovery image from Ruu and then flash it. When u click the ruu a temporary zip file is created in c drive (windows pc). There is a file called "rom.zip" . Extract recovery from this rom.zip
No luck with this..

Hi
I've spent several hours trawling through forum posts and trying suggestions but I'm having no luck getting back to stock.
This is what I have:
HTC One on Orange UK
Bootloader locked
S-On
CWM Recovery
Stock ROM
What I've done is unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM recovery. I then relocked the bootloader.
I've searched for hours for a stock recovery that is compatible with this model but to no avail. I've also tried to find an RUU for Orange UK but again, no luck.
I've tried to set S-Off using revone but get an 'error: device not found' when running 'adb push revone /data/local/tmp/'. I've also tried to run 'fastboot oem unlock' but that also errors.
The phone works but I'm unable to OTA upgrade which is quite frustrating.
Anyone have any recomendations as how to get this back to stock?
Many thanks in advance

why did you relock the bootloader with custom CWM recovery on your phone? u need to unlock the bootloader again..what errors are you getting while unlocking again? and ask for stock recovery in htc one forum.. someone will have it
Hello guys. I was having problems getting the update. Then I found out , you can Ruu with S-ON but needs Bootloader Re Locked. Anyway, as it's my first time I wanna ask few question so I don't end up with a dead phone.
So, what I understood is Ruu will update all the other partition except System/ROM. On S-ON it needs Re Locked bootloader, the Ruu needs to be higher version than the Hboot OS version, the Ruu needs to be fully stock and it'll wipe the Internal Storage.
So, I first use "fastboot oem lock" then " fastboot rebootRuu" "fastboot flash zip xxx.zip" then it'll stuck on 75%-90% and I'll have to use "fastboot reboot-bootloader".
And I'll get the Android M Bootloader, recovery and other stuffs, right?
Now I'll be at Bootloader, have to use that Token_Unlocker.bin to Unlock again, flash twrp and flash a Marshmallow ROM and It'll be fully Android M.
This is what I understood. Please tell me if I'm right or not. Correct me if I'm wrong. I can't S-OFF , so this is only way. I also don't want a hard brick. So, please help.
I have some questions though. I've currently Viperone 5.0 ROM on Lollipop base. Do I have to go back to stock ROM before I can use Ruu? Do I have to get Stock recovery before I can start Ruu? Will Ruu erase the ROM? If Ruu erase everything, will my memory card be safe or should I remove it before Ruu and insert it to flash ROM after Ruu is done?
Thanks in advance for replying.
You have the proper RUU for your CID?

And I'll get the Android M Bootloader, recovery and other stuffs, right? The phone will be formatted to MM stock condition, all partitions.
Now I'll be at Bootloader, have to use that Token_Unlocker.bin to Unlock again, flash twrp and flash a Marshmallow ROM and It'll be fully Android M. You will already be on the stock MM ROM after RUU (as I've somewhat mentioned above). If you want to unlock the bootloader, TWRP, and install a MM custom ROM, you can do that.
Alternately, if you want to root the stock MM ROM, unlock bootloader, TWRP, and flash SuperSU 2.64 or later.
I have some questions though. I've currently Viperone 5.0 ROM on Lollipop base. Do I have to go back to stock ROM before I can use Ruu? NO
Do I have to get Stock recovery before I can start Ruu? NO
Will Ruu erase the ROM? YES
If Ruu erase everything, will my memory card be safe or should I remove it before Ruu and insert it to flash ROM after Ruu is done? Removable SD should be safe. But remove it before RUU, just to be safe.

My HTC Desire 816 Dual SIM,
1. does not boot normally,
2. only boots into FASTBOOT page,
3. in FASTBOOT page I can select and enter Hboot page,
4. in Hboot menu, when I select RECOVERY, or FACTORY RESET, it returns only to FASTBOOT page.
5. as the attachment shows, there is nothing written in front of "OS-"; it is blank.
Questions:
1. In these conditions, is it possible to flash the ZIP ROM from sdcard via Hboot?
2. Is it not necessary to flash stock recovery, wipe some partitions, etc first, and only then proceed to flashing ZIP ROM from sdcard via Hboot?
Hi
I have the same problem as you only my. HTC is the sIngle sim A5-UL Version.
So far I have not had any replies regarding the problem.
Hopefully we will get a resolution
sometime.

It should be but you will need to have the stock recovery reinstalled by first unlocking your bootloader then flashing back your stock recovery then relock bootloader and then flash the RUU or stock zip file thru either ADB /fastboot on your computer or via SD card and renaming the image OP9CIMG and hboot should pick it up and flash it automatically. Did you accidentally wipe your system or try to flash something that corrupted it? In other words what happened before all this? We're you rooted with a custom recovery or still on stock?

Because my phone has behaved abnormally (OS- is blank, as attachment shows; unlocking bootloader did not show Yes or No page; and other abnormalities), I am not sure whether to download a file over 1.20GB, or not? I am afraid about failure! Is not my phone in a situation that needs some preparations before doing what you said?
Hi
Thanks for reply. I was attempting to go back to stock and had installed stock recovery and then relocked the bootloader and when i tried to install the RUU it said it was the wrong one.
I then tried the Hboot way but received the same error. I need to find several RUUs to be able to find the correct version for my 816 which i believe is Asian but not sure where.

Oh, ok I get it now. Think the forum I linked you to was for the European a5_ul. Here's a link to some a5_ul roms kitkat and lollipop. I see one of the lollipop versions is Asia. Try to match your CID and version ID or at least your radio ID's before flashing it. "fastboot getvar all" will give you most of that info but it looks like that might be your firmware. Also make sure you relocked your bootloader before flashing. Good luck

Sorry, I wasn't trying to accuse you of doing something to your phone but those pictures don't show me any of that. It just shows that you seem to no longer have an OS with your lack of a CID and something happened to cause this. It's not about finger pointing but getting the issue resolved for you I know. As for helping you unlock your bootloader the method is pretty straight forward and if it didn't work for whatever reason the only real advice I can give is to just try it again. That's how I unlocked mine so maybe it was just a glitch and another attempt will work. For now I'm more concerned that you didn't wipe anything yet your recovery and firmware seen too be missing or at least inaccessible from your bootloader. The factory reset was going to be my first suggestion but since your already done that have you tried to enter your recovery thru ADB/fastboot? (fastboot reboot recovery.) The other thing is what region are you in( India, Asia, European) and does " fastboot getvar all" work from using ADB? Also if your OS is wiped then any RUU flash will reformat your partitions for you and restore your rom. Also were you on kitkat or lollipop stock rom?

Yeah I've never heard of that version before. I only found one link here below that even mentions that CID but no solution. If you haven't flashed the one I linked I'd try it anyway because as long as your S on the signed rom won't flash if it's the wrong one but if your sure it's wrong then save the data hit to your ISP cap. Sorry I wasn't of more help to you.

You are being kind to me by trying to resolve my problem.
1. I tried again but it did not help.
2. I will try "fastboot reboot recovery", and tell you about the result.
3. Through online chat I gave my IMEI to HTC middle east and they told me that my Software Version is 2.34.401.2.
4. " fastboot getvar all" works.
5. You said "if your OS is wiped then any RUU flash will reformat your partitions". Can we be sure that it is wiped? If we can not be sure, is it necessary to do wipes and formats?
6. I was on Lollipop. 5.0.2.
Since you never unlocked the bootloader before, flashing the stock rom(ruu) should work. Give it a shot. Just make sure you flash the same Android version that you had before as downgrading might not work.

1. That's fine. For now it's OK that it's locked. It's only if your stock recovery is gone that you would need to unlock the bootloader and reflash the stock recovery zip file that you would need to find and flash. Hopefully it's still there just inaccessible for now.
2. Just an idea to verify your recovery is still there
3. OK then that's the firmware you want to flash or higher version
4. From that it should have your CID and version ID but if it's corrupted or wiped it may not show. Those 2 are what you usually use to verify the firmware your flashing is the correct version for your region. You can also verify your radio ID as well as most firmware zips show those numbers as well.
5. It's OK an RUU file will reformat everything and bring it all back to stock. It has all the images in it (radio, system, recovery etc.)
6. That's good. Just make sure you flash that version or higher as going down in firmware isn't possible without S off. If you flash the wrong firmware then the signed RUU shouldn't flash.
Also what region are you in ( India, Asia, Europe?) your phones firmware (CID is your carriers region) that you flash needs to match you're CID.

1. I don't know it's still there that's why I used the word "hopefully. " You should be glad that you can still get into your bootloader because without that access your phone is an expensive paper weight. Thanks for the other info. It's exactly what you need to know to find and flash your firmware.

You said rename the file to "0P9CIMG.zip".
As getvar shows, my phone's exact modelid is: 0P9C70***
So what is the principle according to which the file should be renamed? that is, what characters of MID should be mentioned before .zip?

If "fastboot reboot recovery" cannot work, it means that I have lost stock recovery.
1. Am I right?
2. If it is not there, is it still possible to flash the rom? Or I must first flash the stock recovery?
3. Is possible lacking of stock recovery what prevents the phone from showing Yes or No page ("Unlocking bootloader?" page)
4. Is it possible just to flask stock recovery for now and leave flashing ROM to some time later?

1. Or it's corrupted but it could still be there.
2. Usually you need to flash back the stock recovery but I've heard of people flashing over their custom recovery with an RUU(rom utility upgrade) and the RUU replaced everything including the stock recovery which is in the file.
3. Not 100% sure on that one. The bootloader is a separate kernel provided with every Android OS so the recovery is separate from it. That one I can't figure out as when you were trying to unlock your bootloader you're firmware was fine at that time I assume. That's the strange part.

What is your "getvar all" information?
(Perhaps I can be able to give you some points.)
Hello,
so I got the HTC 10 from my brother but I can not get the latest updates via OTA. Reason: Bootload unlocked und TWRP Recovery.
Now I wanna relock the bootloader and back to the Stock Recovery in order to get the OTA upates. I found files in the thread but I do not really know how to proceed at all
Is there any step by step guide for this situation which a newbie would understand?
Some Info's to the phone itself:
Recovery: TWRP 3.03-10_Unofficial
S-On
Unlocked Bootloader
CID: HTC_034
Android 7.0, January Security update
Software: 2.41.401.4
Kernel: 3.18.31-perf-g9ec8cbc and @aabm#1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband: [email protected]_79.07_F
Is there any way to simply flash the stock recovery again put the bootloader to locked and then get the OTA?
Any help is appreciated
(And no can not ask my brother as he is for several months abroad)

Is there any step by step guide for this situation which a newbie would understand?
Some Info's to the phone itself:
Recovery: TWRP 3.03-10_Unofficial
S-On
Unlocked Bootloader
CID: HTC_034
Android 7.0, January Security update
Software: 2.41.401.4
Kernel: 3.18.31-perf-g9ec8cbc and @aabm#1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband: [email protected]_79.07_F
Is there any way to simply flash the stock recovery again put the bootloader to locked and then get the OTA?
Any help is appreciated
(And no can not ask my brother as he is for several months abroad)

Bootloader status does not affect ability to take OTAs.
You need two things mainly to take the OTA:
1. Stock recovery matching your current software
2. An untouched backup image of the system partition matching your current software. This is needed if you're currently rooted.
Both can probably be found in the thread you linked. The backup image is flashed from twrp. The stock recovery is then flashed from download mode using this command:
Fastboot flash recovery yourrecoveryfile.img
But even after doing that, you might still get an error when trying to take the OTA. Easiest way to take it is to start from scratch, backup your phone's contents to your pc or sd card, and then run the latest ruu for your phone. This will bring you up to date, and will also allow you to make a backup system image from twrp before rooting so that you can easily take future OTAs. The ruu will also completely wipe your phone's contents.
So you can try the first method I mentioned, and if it doesn't work go with the ruu.
As your brother may root it before so the system may got modify, in this case the best and easiest way is flash a RUU.
Try this RUU, http://dl3.htc.com/application/[email protected]_79.07_F_release_495903_signed_2.exe
A RUU will restore your HTC 10 back to stock and wipe out everything. It require a match CID or super CID, if not it will not flash.
I tried to flash RUU via sd card method as well as fastboot method. Both got failed
sd card: Header Error
fastboot: load_file: could not allocate 1950335038 bytes
error: cannot load '2PS6IMG.zip'
Im running on venom rom , S ON with oem unlocked. How can i go back to stock rom??
Mine is 2.41.401.41

This RUU worked perfectly. And no the phone was not rooted, just unlocked Bootloader and TWRP as Recovery.
After flashing the RUU I got the July Security Patch and that is what I wanted.
Thank you very much, Problem solved

It is a EXE, you should run on windows instead of using the sdcard method, as for the not enough space I am not sure about

Nah, i downloaded the exe and the zip file also.
Anyway fixed it. Just restored from a nandroid backup. Now back in stock
PS:In btw, anyone facing any battery drop issue??
So I run in another Problem. I got the latest OTA for Europe (July Security Patch) but now my Phone gets shown as uncertified in the google play app which means I can not download certain apps like Netflix via Appstore.
Now I already figured out why I get shown uncertified: the Bootload is still unlocked. I thought the RUU would fix this as well. And if I wanna go in to the recovery (there was an TWRP Recovery on it before) I just get a red triangle with an "!" in it. It wont boot into recovery. Had to hard reset the phone to be able to boot normally to android then.
Now I wanna flash the stock recovery and lock the Bootload again to get again the certified status from google again.
Now here I need help.
1. Can't find the matching recovery version (EU unlocked, July Securtiy Patch, 2.41.401.41). Can anyone help me find the recovery image I need?
2. How do I get the bootload locked again? My Brother unlocked it via HTCdev.com back then, that I know already. But the command fastboot oem lock does not work at all. It just does nothing.
So how can I lock the bootloader?
Thanks for the help.
If you ran the RUU you already have stock recovery...red triangle with an "!" in it.
Are you running the fastboot oem lock from bootloader or download mode?

Haha well then everything is ok with the recovery ^^
I tried both (download and bootloader mode), both times nothing happens. In download mode my PC does not even recognize the phone as the command "adb devices" does not list my phone and the command "fastboot oem lock" does nothing. HTCsnyc installed and ofc adb shell, worked even as when I normally checked with adb devices when my phone was on it was recognized.

Alright this command works and shows my device.
Now I am in bootloader (Shows Software Status: Modified; Unlocked, S-ON). Then I type in "fastboot oem lock" and I get:
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.014s
Well at least now I get something, before just nothing happened. Any clue what I might do wrong here?
*edit*
So I am a big noob
Phone has to be in download mode then the command works and my phone shows me a message if I want to lock again. Unfortunately it will factory reset my phone as well (at least it says that) so I have to backup my data (again) first.
But thank you for your help, appreciate it.
Cheers!
So I did lock the phone again and flashed again the RUU.exe BUT again my Phone shows in Bootloader Software Status as Modified...and it shows as Relocked.
So how do I get it to official status again?

By buying sunshine S-OFF. Only way to see the bootloader back to "locked" instead of "relocked"

Ye found a thread to it. But seems I dont need it. My Phone gets shown as certified again at google play store so I assume just "relocking" the bootloader seems to be enough.

Hi all
Really stuck at the moment
My CID is HTC_001 and I'm on version 2.41.401.3? (S-ON)
I'm trying to flash the latest oreo firmware however I can't either find the correct RUU to do it, on top of that I'm trying the flash (I think the right file?_) via SD card however I don't have one and people are mentioned using a command prompt which confused me more.
Please help ! If you can provide links to the RUU or the correct file I'm meant to flash I'd appreciate it
Edit:
Solved - Answer on page two!

The easiest way for someone who doesn't want to take the time to learn how things work would be to download this Nougat RUU
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=241133
To flash RUU:
Rename the file to 2PS6IMG.zip
Place on Ex SD CARD
boot to download mode
Press vol up to flash.
RUU will erase internal storage. Once RUU has flashed boot your phone and take the OTA to OREO. After your phone has taken the OTA flash the latest twrp then flash leedroid Oreo ROM.
The reason I suggest this way instead of flashing firmware is because your going to have to wipe data anyway and by flashing an RUU you have a clean start.

Hi, thanks for the advice. The issue I'm having is I don't have access to an SD card so I'm trying to flash via ADB sideload in TWRP however I'm now met with zip file invalid in TWRP.

You can't flash it with twrp. You can use htc_fastboot and flash from RUU mode.

Awesome okay, so I've booted in RUU mode however on the command prompt when I try to flash I'm met with target reported max download size of 157920000, invalid sparse file format at header magic. Can you advise?
Again thanks for the help

If anyone wants to know what I did to get back to stock so I could download Oreo
Downloaded Fastboot/ADB(Use this guide) https://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
Enabled USB debugging on the phone
Download HTC_Fastboot (Google it)
Download the Zip yldlj posted (Only if you are the same CID as me, the check this go onto the app store and find CID checker and then look on XDA for appropriate zip)
Put the download zip into the same folder as ADB/HTC_Fastboot/Fastboot folder. Rename it ota.zip
In the folder where you've extracted the ADB/Fastboot/ hold Ctrl Shift Right click open command window here
Connect your phone via USB
Set your phone onto download mode
From there I used the command htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once loaded into RUU Mode use the command htc_fastboot flash zip ota.zip
Once that was complete I was back to stock Android N which then enables me to update to Oreo
BANG
Fixed

1: you need the ruu that matches your main version OS which can be found in the download mode
2: if you are on leedroid oreo means you have a oreo firmware and in that case you can not "just" flash a nougat ruu. Check the guides section, there is a downgrade dedicated thread with all the needed information
