Then search for the "mytouch 4G Slide". There will be the stock rom that can be applied in the bootloader. Just charge phone to 100%. Then put the downloaded zip from HTC Dev on the (Root of a CLEAN) SD card, and enter the boot loader (Vol+/Power). Then it'll find the zip, and ask you stuff. Blah, Blah, Blah. Your 100% Factory.
Do i need to reflash a stock Recovery and boot. img for that to work ?

Ignore what I said about the re-locking method, just flash the file from HTC. It puts the stock recovery, and boot.img on. Just do it via bootloader. Easiest way.

Also, HTC/Asurion doesn't care if your S-On (U). Or S-Off, there's so many threads about this. Xo

>.>, ok yet another noob questions, do i take the CRC or the MR file ? and what would be the difference between the two ?
I'm currently on my 5th phone for the year that I've sent back to T-mo for one reason or another....all were returned with s-off, rooted, custom boot animation, and Undeads, CM7 or MIUI roms without any issue.
This doesn't even account for a quarter of the phone's I've sent back to T-Mobile in the past 2 years for one reason or another....ALL returned s-off, rooted with one custom rom or another.... ZERO issues...

*bump*
The difference between these 2 files (CRC & MR) is? Which is the appropriate one to d/l in this situation?
EDIT: Well that's pretty damn typical. ScriptKitty...try to go download either. It'll redirect you back to the HTC home page for both. Wow. Go HTC! /sarcasm
If anyone else knows where to d/l this I'd much appreciate it. I'm in the same situation as ScriptKitty and cannot find this d/l anywhere.
Can not flash rom other than Pyroice
Hello. I have been searching for some help for a few weeks now. I am HBOOT-1.45.0013 S-on unlocked. I tried to flash other roms from bulletproof to Cyanogenmod per intsructions that I found using pyroice. I like the rom but I do not have wifi so I do not use this phone that much now. Just short of going stock, can anybody tell me why it wont load any other rom? I get status 7 load aborted????? Do not have my stock recovery just got Pyroice...

Wesomatic, you may have MUCH more luck getting some help if you posted this in the Q&A section. Quite a few more developers & senior members cruise those threads than this one.
**Maybe a stupid question, but you ARE trying to flash from Clockwork Mod Recovery (or one of the other available recoveries) aren't you?
I have clockwork recovery....

I got kind of excited when I saw this, but all I've ever found at htcdev for the MT4GS is a couple of ZIPs of kernel sources. (To others, that's what those CRC and MR files are. I don't know the difference, but they are just sources and some docs.)
So, is the helpful advice from AgentCherryColla just a mistake, or have other files been there in the past? Or maybe some other location?
(Unofficial copies of signed stock ROMs are available with pointers in various threads here.)
I know there are already a few threads like this around but needed a little more concise answer... so apologies!
I'm returning my phone for issues with the power button being unresponsive and wanted to relock the bootloader and return it to stock software and recovery. I'm good on everything except the recovery. After the latest ota update I can't get any RUU file to work that would relock everything since the 2.35 RUU isn't out yet I guess. What is my best solution for getting this back to day 1 so I can return the phone? Do I need to just manually flash the recovery? Will that get rid of 'tampered' on the bootloader?
Thanks everyone!

Now also having issues with HTC Development text showing up every time you start the phone. Kind of a dead giveaway. Anybody have thoughts?
Okay to make this easier to understand Ill start from the beginning. I rooted my phone on june 20th of this year. Everything went smooth. I did a backup of my stock system although I didnt load any ROMs or unlock my bootloader. I tried updating to 9.18.79 and I get about 1/4 of the way through, maybe a 1/3 and it freezes, follwed by the dead droid icon and a reboot. I tried temporarily unrooting my device to install the update and I had the same issue. Then I unrooted my phone and delted the superuser backup and once again, the update failed. Ive tried to do a stock recovery from the boot menu only to get the dead droid icon. One of the other things I noticed is that my backup assistan icon is missing all of a sudden (maybe it was removed as an app Icon like the navigation, I dont know) but I still have backup assistant plus in my apps when I go to system settings. My question at this point would be how do I get this update to fully install? Do I necesarily need the update? Will it hurt jus having 9.16? Is my phone incapable of being saved? Before I get bullied about creating a thread thats already adressed I havent seen anyone in the same situation that Im in. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
If you update you won't be able to unlock your bootloader. So it's not really worth it. Nothing major in the update. If you insist flash the stock firmware back on your phone.

I read you can't unlock the bootloader on 9.16 anyway with verizon. But alright. How could I flash the stock firmware back on? Will I be able to get updates in the future like 4.2 if we ever get it? And now Im trying to root again, In motochopper I dont get the option to run.bat file. It just says run, when I click on it and hit enter It says daemon is running. On my phone it isnt saying I have root at all though.
Hi Guys,
I know this may be frustrating for some of you, but as a complete beginner in using Android, I was wondering whether someone could help me out here. I have tried searching various forums, but my knowledge of androids is limited. I used the tutorial from Rootwiki to successfully unlock my bootloader, install TWRP recovery and root my phone
Does this mean I am not using a stock rom?
Now I sort of regret deciding to do this and would like to return to stock so that I can get any OTA updates without further tampering with my phone. Unfortunately while following the above tutorial, I only made a backup after TWRP was installed and not before, so I need help in going back please.
I can see that there are a few people in my position, so I'm sure others will benefit from this as well.
My software details are:
Android version - 4.2.2.
Software number - 1.33.206.1
HTC SDK API level - 5.41
Network - o2 uk
Can I use any stock recovery file or does it have to be specific to the above?
Can you please provide a step by step guide with a list of files that I will need to download?
or can I simply just factory reset my phone, and everything goes back to normal? I don't mind having to re install apps etc?
Thank you all very much
i have a HTC One mini 4.3 and i am in the exact same situation. i like to get stock recovery but those ive tried hasent been working.
If you didint flash a rom after you installed your recovery, the back up you made is then of stock os
Maybe if you take the ota, it will cancel out ur root and five you stock recovery back, i havent browsed these forums.. Try searching for a RUU and stock recovery, the phone is fairly new, so can take time for someone to put something together

Ok guys, I got the notification for the OTA update today, I have downloaded it but haven't installed it. From a different thread, I found a link for a stock recovery which is about 9.5mb from androidfile host (/?fid=23252070760975668)
can I just flash this recovery and proceed with the update? or will there be compatibility issues with the version I have above?
Thanks
Anyone?
I am getting desperate to the point that I might actually pay HTC to repair it for me

not yet, but MirageBlader has been quite helpful and has said the following in a private message to me, which I have yet to try:
"Very easy mate, open your ota and flash the stock recovery from the ota. You can only install it with stock Rom, stock boot and stock recovery. Your bootloader musst be locked and your phone unrooted. s-off is not needed if you already got the ota"

I'd be very interested to know the results of your attempt to go back to "stock".
Can I ask if you are doing this just to get the 4.3 update? Also, do you plan to root and customise your ROM after the update, or leave it stock?
Thanks, and good luck....

If your phone isn't rooted, what exactly is the issue? Do you have a custom recovery installed, and is your bootloader unlocked? If you are looking to upgrade, did you get the OTA download on your phone?

I haven't got round to trying this out yet, will update this thread once I do, just quite busy this month and can't afford to mess up my phone. Yep, just doing it for the update, I only rooted my phone in the first place to get rid of bloatware, which i realised is a lot more complicated than just rooting, and all the other benefits of rooting don't really appeal to me, or are too much hassle for a beginner such as myself.
Just need to figure out how to unroot and relock my bootloader before I can go ahead with this :s
Hey nelvinchi. You seem to be knowledgeable enough on the matter and have been looking for help with my device. I posted a separate thread yesterday. If you have time/think you can help, could you take a look? Would much appreciate it.

If you have SuperSU installed on your phone, the app has a settings option called "Full unroot" - this will get rid of root. Relocking your bootloader - there are various methods, you could try HTCDEV site (probably how you unlocked originally), or the revone option which will lock the bootloader and remove the "tampered" label. Try a search, but if you are unsure, jusk ask!

Got everything sorted with the great help of Nelvin. I had previously gone to the twrp support IRC and after answering a few questions, they just stopped talking... Glad there are people out there still willing to help! He spent a good hour or so with me making sure everything was working.

Thanks for your reply nelvinchi, can I just confirm whether the SuperSU app you're talking about it the one by Chainfire in the marketplace? And is it just a matter of installing this from the marketplace to unroot my device, or is it a bit more complicated than that?
I'll do some research on relocking my bootloader with revone.
Also do you reckon the above method of getting the stock recovery from my update file will work?

If you are rooted then you more than likely have supersu already installed. Check your app drawer.I rooted using HTC DEV and supersu was flashed to the phone with twrp as part of the process

Can I make a suggestion? Given where you are with your phone currently, It would be much simpler, and virtually risk free, to flash tr1gg3r's Stock Sense 5.5 4.3 rooted deodexed rom from the One Mini Android Development forum.
You will get the 4.3 update, and have a fast and very stable ROM. All future updates will be incorporated into a newer ROM version.
Returning to "stock" carries FAR more risk - and you'll never have true stock because it isn't possible. Soon as the bootloader is unlocked, your phone is tampered, and no tool or utility can change that (other than cosmetically!)
It's your choice obviously, but if I was you, I'd stay rooted and enjoy the benefits it brings!
If you still want to try to go back to stock, I'll help..... But I've now helped three members get out of a soft brick after they attempted to go stock.......
I've been flashing custom roms to my asus transformer for a couple years now so I'm fairly accustomed to the process. Now that my warranty has expired on my one s I decided to go custom to try and get a bit more battery life and performance from my phone.
steps I took:
unlocked bootloader successfully
installed twrp successfully
installed su and rooted successfully
changed to supercid successfully
S-off unsuccessful. I wasnt paying as much attention as I should have and for whatever reason I thought I had s-off
flashed maximushd rom
then attempted to flash the kernel for maximus obviously didnt work because I had s-on
then I was stuck at the point where my phone was basically a black screen and all I could do is get the buttons on the bottom of the screen to flash. Eventually I made it into the bootloader, twrp was gone or corrupted. Managed to reinstall twrp from fastboot and get it working.
within twrp I was able to push a rom into the internal sd and flash it (cant remember which one atm). phone restarted and was then stuck in a 30ish second bootloop of the htc quietly brilliant screen. tried a couple other roms which wouldnt flash. at this point I went home (i dont have a computer at my house, just android based tablet and xbmc box).
At home I got the idea the roms i'm trying to flash might not be compatible with hboot 2.15. I downloaded and tried older roms that would match my hboot of 2.15. Varying success on these but still unable to boot to phone os.
Here is what ive tried and what results i had with them:
zenrom_v1.05_2.31RUUbased.zip = Wont flash just gives failed message
Toasted_marshmellow-ville.zip = This one flashed, reboot phone goes past htc screen to the custom boot.img then endlessly replays the .gif (highly disaapointed at this point)
mdob_ville_bm_deodex_2.40.zip = phone stays off and can only get lights to flash if i hold power
Blackout_ics_sense_plus_RC2.zip = phone hangs on white htc screen
Anyone got any idea where I can go from here? Am i hooped or am I just missing something obvious?

Ended up bringing my phone to a shop which fixed it and installed a new power button as my old one was shot for $65. One thing he did which pissed me off though is install cm 10.1 instead of maximushd like i asked him. not that big of a deal but my signal is horrible now. with stock I used to get 2-3 bars in my rom now im lucky to get 1, and infront of my house where i constantly had full sigal i'm lucky to get 2 or 3 with drops of no signal and dropped calls. Is this because of the rom or the radio? Tried the ota update to 10.2 which freezes the phone on startup, then had to go back and get him to reflash the rom again. its a 10min walk each way and I'm tired of walking back and forth in the rain!

Are you still s-off?
You don't need to be s-off to install custom rom's like cyanogenmod but you will need to flash boot.img after the rom is flashed.

Nah I'm s-on. I don't have a PC so not going to bother flashing a diff ROM because of the boot.IMG. I'm thinking my problem was because I never v flashed boot.IMG last time. Never had to do that before. Is it just an HTC thing?
