HTC display replacements

I just found out of a guy who can replace HTC One displays for way less than sending it to HTC. PM me if you want his contact details. He's in PTA
 
Hi, can anyone advise me on HTC firmware. See my post please. I am sorry, I know this is way off topic
 
So I'm going to MTN tomorrow to get my One replaced, the purple camera was far too much to live with. For anyone who would like to go back to stock here is what I did:

This is a bit convoluted but stick with me. I was S-Off, Unlocked, Tampered, Super-CID, Rooted and running a custom ROM with custom recovery. For this guide you will need adb and fastboot on your PC and USB debugging enabled on your One. I'll post a link at the end if you haven't, although if you're modded then you should have these tools already.

I changed my CID from Super-CID back to the stock HTC__016 by running
Code: 
adb reboot-bootloader
then
Code: 
fastboot oem writecid HTC_016
then
Code: 
fastboot reboot-bootloader

then I downloaded this RUU file:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/

This is the very first firmware for our South African One, if you can find a later one you can save yourself a lot of updates. I tried running the exe with the phone on normally but that failed so I put the phone manually into RUU mode and then ran the exe. To get into RUU mode:
Code: 
adb reboot-bootloader
Code: 
fastboot oem rebootRUU

At this point I was no longer TAMPERED, but in case you are, follow the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792

NOTE: To root, I flashed TWRP (I've lost the link as I had the file on my computer, google TWRP m7. To flash it run
Code: 
adb reboot-bootloader
Code: 
fastboot flash recovery imagename.img
with imagename.img the actual name of your image file.

Then I downloaded SuperSU, once again google that file. Reboot the phone and copy the SuperSU zip across to it. Then run:
Code: 
adb reboot-recovery
Once in recovery (TWRP) click install, then navigate to the SuperSU zip. Install it then continue with removing your TAMPERED flag.

Once you are no longer tampered, follow the instructions in this link to lock your bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914

Once you are done that, go back to fastboot (adb reboot-bootloader) and run
Code: 
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
to get S-On.

At this point I still had a custom recovery and was rooted again so instead of manually unrooting and flashing the stock bootloader I just ran the RUU from step 2 again. The return to stock was proven successful with a last check in the bootloader to see that it was indeed not TAMPERED, it was LOCKED and it was S-Off and then a check for OTA updates worked fine too. I realise there is probably a faster way to do this but for people who need a guide, I hope this helps. This guide is based mostly on this guide with a few modifications:

Good luck :)
 
I was on Android Revolution 4.4 and the purple tint was worse than ever. Any photos in the evening inside buildings had a ghostly purple border that looked like a terrible instagram filter. They SMS's me after I left to let me know that they need to send it to a "higher level repair centre." As far as I know you can't take the One apart without destroying the injection moulded plastic so I don't know why they're messing around with this "repair" business and don't just replace the phone. That being said two weeks isn't too bad, my mate's Galaxy S1 is serving me fine in the interim.
 
I want to know when HTC is going to bring out another tablet, I have specifically not upgraded my laptop and not looked at other tablets. I couldn't imagine a better pair. HTC phone and tablet :love::love:
 
Mine also started with the purple pictures a while ago. Regenersis replaced it last week Friday, So nice to be able to take proper pics again. Appart from that, I have not had any problems with mine.

They replaced the whole phone?

Hmmm, wondering if I can get mine replaced despite the cracked screen.

That's awesome. Anyone specific there I should contact then? If they have a moan that my screen is cracked I want to make sure that they don't blame that as the reason for the purple hue
