My HTC One M7 phone is S-OFF, has the latest firmware 7.19.401.2, and has nicely installed "ViperOne+9.0.0-fix", the Recovery is TWRP 2.8.6.0. Everything works very well, except that the proximity sensor seems erratic, and when I have a call the ear seems to press different programs on the touch-screen.

I would like to return to complete HTC Stock ROM, so that I assure myself the proximity sensor works well enough (or does not). Do I have to downgrade the firmware to be able to install the Stock ROM? I have downloaded, but seem to be unable to install, from TWRP the Stock ROM: PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip

Or maybe the only way is via fastboot? With the commands: 1.) htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU 2.) htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip 3.) htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader

Can someone more experienced give an advice, please?

    An officially signed ruu.zip needs to be flashed through htc fastboot because it is encrypted. – Bo Lawson Sep 20 '15 at 0:05
  • @Bo Lawson. I did it that way, so far looks good. Thank you! – Victor Ivanov Sep 20 '15 at 0:36

OK so I have a One m8 but I think the process should be about the same. You'll want to find the right RUU for your model. I'm not certain which model/carrier you have so here is an overview list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276.

To relock your bootloader (necessary for RUU), make sure you have adb installed, connect your phone to your PC. Then type the following commands:

  • adb devices
  • adb shell
  • su
  • echo -ne ‘\x00\x00\x00\x00’ | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
  • exit
  • exit
  • adb reboot bootloader

    • When that is done, simply run the RUU exe that you downloaded from the first link. If you found the right one, it should restore your phone completely to stock.
