If you want a simple way to return to the stock ROM and also be able flash back the stock radio and recovery then this may be for you.
XDA member migascalp gave me the idea of packaging stock ROMs with the aroma installer and include the ability to flash the stock recovery also as sort of a poor mans RUU since so many still are S-on and cannot properly run a RUU.
I have been making these for a few different versions depending on if we have the stock recovery, so mainly only major versions with a full stock dump or RUU.
See here: Collection of HTC One Graphical Reset Downloads. Stock Rom + recovery
While you can flash these roms on any M7_U or M7_UL, they are made to match the version base and respective device type.
Also note that these packages do not update any firmware. However when you choose to install the stock recovery you will then be able to get OTA updates (If applicable for the version) after locking your bootloader. ** Remember that if you are S-On, you must have an unlocked bootloader to install a recovery (custom or stock) so make sure you bootloader is unlocked if you are going to choose the install the stock recovery during the install.
**Also note that for OTA updates to work properly you must have the stock or matching CID for the version of the ROM. Same goes for MID.
Many have already used these packages to get back to stock and get OTA's or for returning for service, but I never got around to making a post for them, so here it is. Also before using you can check out the full collection of return to stock items in the Collection Thread and Return To Stock Guide Thread.
You simply flash these in recovery (CWM/TWRP) like installing any other rom.
Here is a video Demo of the install. This demo is of the AT&T OTA but the install and procedure is the same. I will update this video for the roms in the this thread later:
Using Guru Reset to Install AT&T Stock ROM and Recovery to update to Android 4.3 - YouTube
Here are the screen shots of the Aroma Installer. Sorry for some the bad edits, its really hard to get a good pic taken manually at bootloader or recovery:
.
I test each of these packages myself thoroughly before posting. However I make no guarantee's on the subject of OTA's because I do not use them, but many of the users of these packages report on the success of that aspect.
You should re-lock your bootloader to get OTA updates.
Here are the instructions.
As long as you chose to install the stock recovery and didn't add root, all you should have to do is re-lock your bootloader after this and you will be almost out of the box stock. You can re-lock your bootloader with this fastboot command:
If you are S-on and that doesn't work you may have to use this:
Remember that if you are S-On and re-lock your bootloader, it will say RELOCKED instead of LOCKED.
If you are S-Off then you should be able to get to Locked with this ADB Shell command from scotty1223's thead:
Or if using an older hboot this revone command:
Also if you chose to flash the stock recovery during the rom install, and your phone doesn't boot or you experience any other issues remember you will have to reload your custom recovery via fastboot:
I will continue to make more of these and I would prefer to keep it to roms for which we have a full stock dump, but the requests are overwhelming for just about everything, so I may start with some popular carrier versions based off of user submitted backups or stock rom only dumps.
You should choose the version that matches your firmware. Your firmware version can be found from a
However certain conditions don't require that the version match. For instance if you just need a stock ROM to do a SIM Unlock or need a stock ROM to gain S-off with rumrunner, just about any of the 2.24 stock ROMs can be used.
