Help!! I'm replying to the "if anyone needs help...." part of your message.
I am a total noob and I'm terrified that I'm going to break my phone - an HTC One M7 currently on Ting. I should mention that I have started the process of moving from Ting to StraightTalk. The woman I spoke with at ST was in the process of transferring my phone number and she said the sprint SIM card was showing "expired" so she said she'd mail me a new one (not here yet). I hope it will arrive tomorrow and I can call them and get the transfer done. My hope is that StraightTalk will allow me to use the Verizon network instead of sprint (which has been terrible).
Anyway... back many months ago I started to "root" my phone and I got as far as unlocking it (bootloader shows "tampered, unlocked") and installing the "TEAMWIN" recovery environment. Whenever I get the TEAMWIN UI to display my touchscreen is inactive. I then have to reboot it (under a bright light, apparently). I have not been able to install any system updates from HTC since I tinkered with it I think... (I get an "update" prompt every morning).
My first priority is to get my service switched to StraightTalk. I then want to figure out how to get system updates from HTC. I don't really care if the phone is "rooted" (I think). I'm just a basic user. Oh... one other thing. The phone was given to me by a friend who works for HTC (who isn't really available to help me with it).
Sorry for the long message... any help you might provide will be hugely appreciated!!
Best,
