Return to stock & re-lock bootloader: HOW? - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I recently unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP as custom recovery, but I'm now in need to return full-stock:
could anyone please tell me (or link me - I searched but I didn't found anything about it) a full procedure to restore the phone status?
I need a stock ROM, I guess, but then what? Flash it in TWRP? Does it also include stock recovery or is it a separate file instead?
Thank you very much!

so you do know that relocking the bootloader will cause a factory reset and all data will be wiped from device.
First, all you need to do is download a full rom update and flash in system local update. that will put stock software and stock recovery back.
second, Reboot phone to bootloader mode. Then you just type in cmd "fastboot oem lock"

Thanks for your fast answer!
So is it better to flash stock ROM through local update than through TWRP? Or it's the same procedure both ways?
Thanks again!

They both will work.

According to your bootloader details you are at a good starting point. Here is what I recommend you do from here:
1. Download a custom recovery like TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558503
2. flash this in bootloader mode. If you don't know how here is the help thread you need to read through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593382
3. Once you have a custom recovery installed, you can flash SuperSu or other root app (google is your friend.)
4. Stick with the rooted rom you have or flash another of your choosing.

Not impossible for you because your bootloader is unlocked and you are S-Off. You are always able to root and flash.

Why are you using a toolkit to flash recovery???
Just download from http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
or download the unofficial TWRP from the original android dev section if you plan on flashing an AOSP or CM based Rom and then fastboot flash recovery recovery_filename.img
Easy peasy. Too many links is an error that should have nothing to do with flashing recovery...

You need to type the filename of the recovery file you download. Either the recovery filename you are typing is wrong or the file is not in the folder you are trying to flash from.

MOTO G4 PLUS [XT1643]
This is for those who had flashed a custom kernel on their stock ROM and now want to revert to stock.

2. Just reboot TWRP once and choose Restore and then choose this: athene_93-14_boot

@tywinlannister7 Thanks for quick reply.
As far as I can understand, this file should be flashed (restored) after restoring my TWRP back up of nougat stock rom taken in January-2017. Currently I am on RR-MM.
Shall I able to take OTA then?

For OTA updates to work, you'd need a stock recovery on your device too; TWRP is a no go. Once you've restored your TWRP backup of your Nougat stock ROM (which hopefully may have the stock boot still), you can flash the stock recovery linked here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/how-to-ota-rooting-nougat-npj-25-93-14-t3601747
I imagine the easiest option is to flash the recovery in fastboot (same as you did with TWRP) using 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', then rebooting into recovery.
I think, though I've not tried it with a stock recovery, that you should be able to flash the recovery image in TWRP:
tap Install in the TWRP menu
Select 'install image's
Find your stock recovery image and select
Choose recovery as the image type
Flash and reboot to recovery.
Then, provided your system has a stock kernel, no modifications to your system and a stock recovery (bootloader doesn't matter), you should be able to update via OTA.
@echo92 Thanks for detailed guide.
I had flashed SuperSU on Nougat stock ROM, so stock boot might be affected. Am I right?
In short, I want to sell the device, so I want to return to stock.

You could have directly flashed the latest March 1 Security firmware via fastboot and lock your bootloader too.

Thank you for pointing out.
Will I lose my IMEI or WIFI MAK or any thing else by fastboot method? Because I have read that some users are losing such things by fastboot method.

Shouldn't create any such issues. Anyways, you can make an entire backup of the fsg and other partitions in twrp.
Yes, your data will be wiped though.

try to reroot using the method from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986
you need to flash your stock boot.img thru twrp to remove the superuser you use previously before proceed using superRoot or SuperSU from that thread. and try to look for your stock boot.img maybe you can find it in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/stock-boot-img-library-t3573312

Flash back stock boot and you'll be back to stock, as long as you didn't modify any of the other partitions (/system, /vendor, /product). And flash back recovery using adb.
Get stock boot by downloading your firmware from http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=mha
Then download Huawei Update Extractor https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Open it up and open update.app which you extracted from update.zip. Right click on BOOT and extract, same with recovery.
Flash back boot using twrp and 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' to flash back stock boot.

You will have to flash back hw and public zips for your build. There's a folder (hw_init) in /data/ that gets wiped when you format data, it contain apps (system update for example) and the theme engine.
So you will have to flash back TWRP again and decrypt again if you went back to stock, else you won't be able to flash the zips. After that you can flash back stock boot and recovery, and you *should* be able to update via OTA.
Here's a little guide for getting HW and public for your build: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71302827&postcount=627
Also, question: What update are you trying to apply? It might just be that it's not approved by Huawei yet, and that makes it impossible to install using Firmware Finder.
And if you're trying the Dload method, it won't work. Only 2 offline firmwares have been released.
Edit: I should learn to read. So you're trying Dload? Yeah, that won't work.
I guess you could install your current full firmware using Firmware Finder, but for that you'd still need to flash back HW and Public so you can actually see the System Update button.
And that means flashing back TWRP, and flashing to /data requires decrypting, so you'd have to do that as well.

Please help: How to return htc u11 to stock

Hi guys,
My phone now is on LeeDroid custom ROM (Build 1.03.401.6.9_g CL923215)
What are the steps to return the htc u11 to stock please?
The original software number of my phone is: 1.11.400.4
EDIT: I went to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72425224&postcount=5
& downloaded stock recovery & nandroid TWRP backup (for 1.11.400.4).
However, I couldnt flash that nandroid TWRP from TWRP recovery.
Long story short, I just got the phone today, I made a big mistake by not inserting the simcard in & testing to see if the phone working or not.
So, I went straight through the process of unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP, Rooting, Installing custom ROM without making a nandroid backup.
For all that, the phone did not recognize the sim cards (tried both my sim & my gf's sim. not working)
The store will take back the phone as long as I return it to stock.
Thanks for your help!!!

You'll need to download the stock rom for your verison (ruu). Hopefully one is available. Check the guide section here.

Restore the TWRP backup, check everything is working, then flash stock recovery if you need to. The stock Nandroid should include recovery asfaik. I'm more of a trial and error guy lol. Read guide pages to know for certain, check HTC 10 guides, same steps.

Finished downloading & now I got an ERROR installation, something like a wrong ROM, probably because I'm currently on LeeDroid custom ROM (Build 1.03.401.6.9_g CL923215)
Please advice
Thank you

Your going to need a full signed RUU zip matching your original firmware and CID buddy.
Based on your original build number its an Indian dual SIM device so here is the ruu:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634780026
1. Rename it to 2PZCIMG.zip
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Drop the zip on your external SD card.
3. Boot to download mode, at that point you will be prompted to flash... Accept... Profit.
If you don't have an external SD.
1. Lock your bootloader.
2. Boot to download mode.
3. Open a cmd window and run the below commands.
fastboot orm rebootRUU (hit enter)
fastboot flash zip (drag the zip into the cmd window then hit enter)

On the PC side, what was the exact error message?
you can ignore the warning from the phone side.
I had a similar issue the other day, but then I was able to run the RUU upgrade to rest my phone back to stock as I had to ship it back for a refund, to get the new Red ones
When I ran the RUU thing it wouldn't detect the phone, did a few things, and then it was finally able to detect the phone.
and when it started updating the Boot image it hung for a long while, I had to restart the phone back into download mode, then run the RUU again, and it was able to continue from there.

The 1.03.401.6 may be European software. You will need the RUU for your exact phone model from: http://www.htc.com/us/support/updates.aspx

[Downgrade][S-ON] Downgrade by flashing older version of official RUU

Get the method from here:
https://bbs.htc.com/cn/thread-109059-1-1.html
----------
This method seems to modify the original system version number so that the old version of the RUU file can pass the checking.
--------------------
Backup your data before downgrading.
--------------------
1. Download the RUU file which is the version you need.
2. Reboot to download mode, then flash the TWRP via fastboot.
Unofficial TWRP for U11+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-u11/development/unofficial-htc-u11-twrp-recovery-t3706264
Fastboot command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Reboot to recovery mode, then get sde1 file by :
adb pull /dev/block/sde1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Open the file with a text editor and change the version number, which is easy to found, to the version number of your RUU file.
5. Push back the file by
adb push sde1 /dev/block
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it shows "does not have enough space", delete the original file by the files manager in the recovery first.
6. Flash your RUU file by entering into the download mode after copying it to the SD card.
Tested on U11+ China version, no problems found.
Hope this can help you.

You don't need to relock bootloader, but you have to get stock recovery.

Maybe you can try this:

Tested. Ok on HTC__621 taiwan device.
Thanks for the guide. Does it work if you swiped to "allow system modification" in twrp?
HTC U11 Plus is base on android oreo.
I think you can flash ruu normally.
You can flash older version of RUU follow software number and it's same version android.
If you want to rollback from new version android ,this method is important.
Ex RUU 1.xx.400.x Android 8.0
Your devices is software number 1.24.400.x ,Android 8.0
You can use Ruu above for flash your device.

Of course, why I would find this method is to restore the modified system partition.

hi Sotong rom India_SEA 1.10.400.23 for what is CID?
Hey Guys, would this procedure work if i would like to return the phone to stock with custom rom??
By the way, is it possible to pull the sde1 without flashing the trwp recovery image?
I have tried to pull the file with the following steps and it is a success but not sure if the file is okay:
adb root
adb pull /dev/block/sde1
I can see the version number in the file with notepad++
Please advise. thanks.

How do you relock your bootloader???
I managed to flash to stock but the bootloader remain unlock.
Please help.
Hi all,
Managed to get reload the stock rom and re-lock the bootloader.
Thanks.
Do I need TWRP and SD card?
Can I just use fastoot/adb and flash from PC directly?
Also what images are needed? I only have boot system and recovery stock images. Is that good enough?
