Hello there fellows.
It is my first post, however I have been using this website for a long time. I started my journey here with my xperia x10 mini pro. Installed kernels and roms so I am not that newbie.
However I have a problem, I managed to get my HTC one V unlocked and rooted, it was all fine for weeks. Unfortanetely today I installed this status bar mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333617 and it's gone. I did hard reset, its still gone. I am desperatly trying to fix it. Please help me. I have stock ROM, i looked for those SystemUI.apk etc nothing managed to work. I have no version to backup from.
Please, help me...
I think I will just install stock rom from RUU, but please confirm if I am right or not. I check my version in the bootloader right? Under *** UNLOCKED *** there I see "PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL HBOOT-1.18.0000 RADIO-3831.19.00.120
That's my version, is that correct?
I managed to relock my bootloader and got my RUU, however i got error 131 while it was "patching" the phone and now im back on what I had. Any ideas why this error might happen? Please help..
Ok I found out that my CID is for a specified carrier in my country, however the phone is not simlocked. So yea, no stock RUU. I have to fix that status bar the other way, I heard CWM allows to do that, can anyone confirm?

If you made a backup then yes you can install that from CWM. Otherwise you may just have to settle for custom roms

Thanks for reply! I haven't done backup.. So you say I should try a custom rom yes? Like "develpores" made right? Can you suggest any which won't fail me? I have no coming back after it, as I can't find RRU for my device. HTC said they can fix the status bar but it's gonna take 2 weeks I bet.. isn't there any other way restoring the SystemUi.apk? Or whatever has been changed cause of that mod..
Hi everybody,
I've been reading a lot of stuff since now but still have some unanswered questions.
I want to return to completely stock as for insurance or warranty purposes.
I originally got an german HTC One M8 with T-MOB101 cid.
I unlocked the bootloader as the temp-root variant did not work for me, s-off'ed, changed cid to Supercid and flashed ViperRom.
But now I have to send it in to insurance company because my display glass broke after dropping my htc one off about 1 Foot...:crying:
So how would be the optimal procedure to get as close to completely stock?
I know that after reverting everything the bootloader would still say relocked.
So my idea was to:
1. get an original T-MOB101 NAND backup and restore it (beforehand restore T-MOB101 cid)
2. flashing stock recovery
3. Removing Tampered (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51700320&postcount=1)
4. Setting Locked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571)
5. play over an OTA firmware.zip
This would lead me to a stock rom with OTA capability, but would still show me the red warning as well as S-OFF.
As an alternative I read about hex edited hboots to get rid of the red warning or even Mask S-off as s-on.
However in the according thread i could not make out an hboot corresponding to the T-MOB101 CID. So I tried it on my own after having a look at stock and modified hboots.
I edited my own hboot according to those modification but am too scared to flash it as it could hard brick my phone....
So I ask you guys, am I on the right way and what would you do ?

To tell you the truth, I don't think the insurance company will care about any software mods. Different story if you had to send it in to HTC.

Well, actually I would agree, but as they turn on the phone and a red warning pops up I could think of any crazy reason why they would deny the repair or exchange ^^.
Whatever that reason might be that would result in a broken glass caused by the software
Does the red text dissappear if I return S-ON, officially relock bootloader, stock recovery and cid?

The only way to get rid off the red text is with a modifed HBOOT.

Well ok, I feared that. You're not accidently fit in Hex-Editing ?
As I said, I already backed up my hboot and edited it as the other hboots I founds with the wrong cid. But I'm afraid of flashing it without anyone else who knows something about hexediting took a second look at it.
Also does the hboot get overwritten by a NAND backup? So if I'll restore I would have to modify that hboot and not the one I'm currently at?

Sorry, have not done hexediting in a while. Hboot is part of firmware, does not get overwritten by restore backup.
Alright but thanks anyway.

First you should flash the stock rom then stock recovery.This will remove your red text.then you should flash ruu.I would suggest not to change your cid.
Also if you are comfortable you can change your cid to supercid,mid to wwe mid then flash wwe fw and its recovery then flash the ruu.This will convert your phone to international htc with s-off and super cid and you will be able to take ota and you will have full 100% warranty.
Hey Jyotirdeb,
thanks for your input.
But there is still the problem, that I have to come to T-MOB101 firmware and not the WWE. Furthermore as far as I have read, the red text will only disappear if I flash stock recovery, stock ROM AND S-ON again. At least without a modified HBOOT.
Other problem is, that there are as far as i know no RUUs available for the M8 up to now. Correct me if I'm mistaken. At least I didn't find one, especially for cid T-MOB101.

It is true that you have to be on stock rom and stock kernel.But you dont have to be s-on you can be s-off.And yes as far as I know there is EU ruu (unbranded) maybe you have to wait for hTC to release Ruu for other variant.I am sorry I cant be of more help.
Hmm, strange thing, as I actually read it again that there must be s-on and everything stock, to get rid of it, but nevermind.
Really, where could I get that RUU from? As far as I know only the Sprint or Verizon Variant does have a RUU not the International One.
Furthermore would I need the RUU from T-Mobile as the release it with their branding, not HTC.

"Hmm, strange thing, as I actually read it again that there must be s-on and everything stock, to get rid of it, but nevermind."
If you have an s-on device you can change bootloader status to relocked but if you have soff device you can change bootloader stats to locked so you will get 100% warranty.I dont know about version or sprint but the ruu is available for unbranded EU model.

Actually, on that site there is a RUU for unbranded phones only. For T-MOB101 they have a nand backup and firmware. I'm still thinking whether I want to use that. That is, I have a similar issue as the OP, I mean, I want to reinstall Android, although I'm completely stock, unrooted, etc. It's just that the Lollipop update screwed everything up and I'm hoping that reinstalling will fix it. Unfortunately, for CID T-MOB101 no RUU is available. So, I either have to use the backup and then flash firmware, for which I have to root and install custom recovery first, or I have to wait till HTC comes up with Android 5.1.
Hello fellow TMO brethren....
I just got the M8 maybe a week ago... I was busy and had to wait before I could pull up XDA and start reading about this phone (getting root, etc.). Before this, I unfortunately allowed a few updates (2 maybe?) to install, which I believe will prevent me from using Firewater for S-Off... but no big deal....will get sunshine when I need it. However, though firewater won't work, I had no problem using HTCDev to unlock the bootloader (didn't know of towelroot at the time), flashing TWRP 2.8.0.1, and installing SuperSU....so I am currently rooted with stock Rom...
Further...I have not touched any applications. And although I have unlocked the bootloader using HTCDev, my calculator and flashlight are still available. I have read in this M8 general forum that the flashlight and calculator are deleted when you unlock the bootloader using HTCDev... This did not happen to me. Does anyone know if this is this just a T-Mobile thing? or has this changed for all carriers?
Anyway, I am now getting notice for yet another update...So I might as well install it. As we all know, I need to re-flash the stock recovery to get the OTA. Here is where I am confused. My current firmware is 2.22.531.5. I don't know what firmware I had a week ago when the phone was purchased.
This was the info on the bootloader screen yesterday, immediately prior to unlocking the BL or rooting the phone:
[btw, can someone tell me how to do a info dump from the bootloader?? is it just an option I missed?]

1. My first question is what version of the stock recovery do I use?? On the page that contains the stock recoveries, it only shows these two:
Stock Recovery - 1.12.531.19
Stock Recovery - 1.57.531.7
2. Secondly, and I am really irritated about this.... but I never went and accepted the Google Drive free 65GB promo offered by HTC. When I start google drive it states it cannot determine the user (or something like that). I read elsewhere that this is because I unlocked the bootloader. I will do whatever it takes to get HTC to give me this because I think it is pretty low that they would invalidate the offer to anyone who has unlocked the bootloader pursuant to their website, their instructions, and their so-called "open atitude". Obviously I can re-lock the bootloader, but I do not know if that will matter. Plus... if they say that I requested a token .bin file to unlock, I can say that I changed my mind and decided not too. OR, I can get Sunshine, get s-off, and use the s-off ability to relock the bootloader. Does anyone have any advice on any of this?
3. Any general advice from anyone based on the info above??? (lI don't want to foreclose any other options by upgrading or whatever... ).
Thank you very much in advance!

NB: Wanted to mention that last night I was about to use Titanium to freeze and/or uninstall some crap software I didn't want, and to that end, disabled Amazon, Facebook, Facebook for HTC, and Kid Zone (and uninstalled Amazon MP3, which is not a system app). Just an FYI... disabling one (or more) of these apps (maybe Kid Zone?) prevented Wifi calling from functioning correctly...it would not let me call and every in-call received while on wifi calling went straight to VM. I have renabled the above apps to get wifi-calling working again, but also because I want to install this update and figured that disabling/freezing any original stock apps might cause problems. I will look around for a thread on safely deleting apps after I get this udpate...
Try this for getting your drive space.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
Its now 100GB so its definitely worth a shot. As for getting back to stock for an update you can always use a RUU since relocking your bootloader will drive space then unlocking it again after will cause a factory reset anyway. Back up everything that isnt already, relock with the instructions from the thread I linked, run a ruu to get back to stock, update the system, then unlock your bootloader again with your unlock code bin file.

OK... that sounds like great info.... But to confirm though... I need S-off to relock bootloader. This is because I am essentially going back to factory default lock (without dealing with HTC at all). And by doing this, and then flashing the RUU (backing up everything first of course), I will be back to square one stock. For one, this will make it tough for HTC to claim I unlocked the bootloader (minimizing potentially any dispute over Google Drive promo). Then I would get any/all outstanding updates. I guess if I need S-off, then I would need to get sunshine, so I could just let that app re-unlock the bootloader. instead of using the .bin file (presuming I need s-off)?
Sorry... just confused as to when and for what specifically I need S-off (as your link emphasizes this).
Thanks a lot!!!!:good:

It looks like you will need S-Off to factory lock the bootloader. S-Off allows you to make changes to otherwise protected areas of the file system. To clarify, I haven't tried this method myself as I haven't had a need to factory relock my device yet. I ran full stock for months before I rooted. As for HTC knowing whether or not you unlocked your bootloader, if you used the HTCDEV method then they have record of you receiving an unlock token from them but if they go into bootloader for any reason and see Locked instead of Relocked they shouldnt give you any trouble I would think. I believe you can also reset it to S-On but again I've never tried and I'm not sure its entirely safe. You'll have to look into that.
HI
As title said, I accepted the official update from HTC and now my phone won't start.
All I know is I have S-ON and I don't want to do factory wipe.
I did try wipe cache partition multiple times.

You did leave it long enough to update?
It took over an hour to update mine and that's not including downloading.
If you power cycled your phone thinking it was stuck you probably borked the update process.
If your device is carrier locked then you'll have to wait for the official ruu.
If you have a wwe (World Wide English) then you can use the 5.1 ruu.
Otherwise you'll have to bite the bullet and reset it, losing all data.

We need more information than this to help. What exactly did you do, and what happened when you accepted the ota? By "won't start" what do you mean? A bootloop or is it completely dead?
From your info, it appears the ota never took, as you're still on 1.32 firmware.
To my knowledge, there are no ruus of any sort for Telus. You may need to unlock, install custom recovery, and then flash a backup to get back up.

It said i have an available update, so i accepted and took more than an hour to finished the update. After the update, It just keep looping in the HTC logo screen. I can still go into the bootloader, download mode and recovery mode, but pretty much it. In recovery mode, it can't even open the files in the internal memory. I also did a factory reset/wipe, It didn't work.
How do you know my phone is from telus? I didn't get my phone from carriers, it is unlocked.

Ahhh thank you very much
I also did some digging. I find a website under HTCDEV. I can't post outside link yet. But is it useful in my situation?
I don't really want to root my phone unless i have no other choices.
I have root my previous phones before, but it is more for trying different rom instead of rescuing the phone.

As far as I can see you have two choices:
Option 1 is trying to get the correct RUU for your firmware. I posted a source earlier but it's not for free. Some other users here on xda already have an account for that website so maybe one of them is kind enough to help you out. Nevertheless flashing a RUU will wipe everything on your phone so all your data you didn't backup before all this hassle started is lost.
Option 2 is trying to unlock your bootloader via HTCDdev which will erase everything on your phone, too. After that you are able to flash the custom recovery TWRP. If you are able to find someone else's backup for the firmware version you have you are able to get back to a working stock system, too. But I'm not sure whether an unlock is possible without a booting system because I never faced that situation.

Can you post what's in your Download mode screen (except imei and s/n)? You say the update completed, but the OP lists a 5.0 firmware version. This matters for whether you can unlock and root.
It's possible your phone can't be fixed in its current state and will have to be replaced. This is because of security features that have been added to 5.1, if you indeed got that update.

Okay, that's good. It means the 5.1 update did not take, which means you can still unlock via htcdev if you choose, or that RUU linked above ought to clear things up.
Hey thank you for everyone helps. Since my phone still under warranty, i have decided to send my phone back to HTC. Once again, thank you for everyone who read my post and help me.
I'm quite sure the device restarts a few times after the update. I remember a black htc screen then a couple of reboots (my arse was twitching like a rabbit's nose) then after a short while it booted into the homescreen.
I'd leave it running and connected to the internet overnight and see if it resolves itself. If not then send it to HTC.

Hi there guys, i'm a new user of this fantastic smartphone called HTC 10. I've got a problem with mine when trying to go back to stock after unlocking the bootloader for some modding.
I'm looking for someone who guides me to set everything as original, just because i've not found what i wanted.
Right now my biggest question is related about "Software Status: modified " and "S-on: Relocked".
is there any way to switch them?
Tried with ruu.exe but nothing seems to change.
I'm on cid HTC__034 baseband 2.41.401.4
Any help would be appreciated.
ps: sorry for my english, but it's not my first language (italian one).
S-off is needed, you can use sunshine app for 25$, then you can change software status or "relocked" to "locked", but you don't need it to be stock.
Well so, once I go s-off locked what I might do? Flash the full rom? The firmware? What?

Your question seemed to be asking how to set your bootloader to Locked. The post above yours is correct, get Sunshine and select S-off/Locked.
From there, you can flash an appropriate ruu to fully get back to stock.

From there, you can flash an appropriate ruu to fully get back to stock.
