[Q] nandriod backup problem

my friend had rooted my ONEX created a backup . i am currently running ARHD want to back to stock to enjoy OTA update. bt the problem is that in the clockworkmod recovery there are two backups. i dnt knwo which one is of stock .

Try just restoring any one of the nandroid backups and check in settings to see if it is the right one. Nandroid backups don't take a long time to restore so don't worry.

You have to flash the boot.img with fastboot commands and yes the phone has to be in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode
Then a full wipe in the custom recovery and restore the nandroid ! After that you check the phone works and that the rom is stock .....
Then you flash back the stock recovery to be able to update , because the custom recovery won't let you update officially !
I have it for you ... I just need the software number when you are done

You can prolly check the dates on both updates - worst case scenario just do another nandroid and try restoring both its just 2 options so your 50%-50%

Yes that's correct, i dont know of the command accept spaces in the recovery name otherwise you have to rename the file to recovery.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You know what i mean

You might want to rename it without the spaces, or maybe stick quotes around the filename, or use tab completion of the filename to properly escape the spaces.

If fastboot said success, it succeeded, if it said failed, it failed.

No problem, just warning signs that you are entering a part we actually shouldn't
More important is :
Can you update now ? Check in settings info software

[Q] getting back from AOSPA to stock JB

hi all,
i need help getting back to stock rom please.
i have my stock online nandroid backup files tried to flash stock boot.img then proceeding to restore using TWRP 2.4.4 but it fails.
i tried paranoid android 3.10 last night and it looks great with my best feature "swipe to lock/unlock" , unfortunately no wifi , it just can not be turned on, tried another kernel "repacked xm"
and still no wifi and gsm signal,
now i flashed RC19 it is working great , only some issues with notification LED and camera/gallery stability , but i still want to know how to get back to stock.
any help will be appreciated.

Flash the boot.img file from the stock nandroid backup. Enter the recovery and perform a full wipe then restore the backup. Should get you back to stock rom.
Twrp has a different boot.img named boot.emmc.win .....flash it
Fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
Fastboot erase cache

thanks, i will try and get back

in the wipe menu i have many choices :
cache - delvik cache - factory reset - system - external storage - android secure
i usually do : cache - delvik cache - factory reset
do i need to do one of the other choices? and why?

I always do all of them except external storage . Just to be sure you have no complications ! There is nothing better then a good cleansweep

still not working, gives me Failed message

Do a fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post the outcome please

Oke get yourself a new nandroid backup from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Its taken with clockworkmod recovery. So flash that first. Look for cwm 5.8.4.0 and flash it. You probably have no touch because of the 3.16 base you are on. Just use the volume and power button.
Download the nandroid and unpack it to the right folder
Clockworkmod\backup\time & date folder\backup files
Then wipe ALL of this
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Restore the nandroid backup and after that you open the command window on the pc and type
adb reboot bootloader (the phone goes from the recovery to the bootloader)
Flash the boot.img from the new nandroid
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
This should work fine.

thanks for your great support , one other thing i want to know , how to access the correct directory without having a working system on the device?

ok i managed to access it

Go in the recovery to mounts and storage and select : mount as mass storage device .....it pops up on the pc as a usb diskdrive

A nandroid backup NEVER comes together with a install of gapps. Don't know what you are trying to do ? A nandroid backup is restored including flashing the boot.img. that's all to it.

Don't know really ! If you did all you needed to do there should be no problem. What's your hboot number ?
Wipe ALL again. Flash the boot.img from the paranoid rom. Go to the recovery and install the rom.zip and gapps.zip.....then reboot. Otherwise try another rom

i think it is a kernel issue, that's why i tried to repack with xm kernel , but no use, so i flashed RC19.

[Q] Bootloop after root attempt

Hi guys, really hope someone can help!
I've looked in this forum and tried everything but nothing seems to work. So this happened:
I have HTC One X Three Network UK, RUU version 3.14.771.34
I went from stock to unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV, that was no problem. Then I downloaded that insecure root file from this site to try and root it. That sent my HTC into a bootloop, it will not boot, jus sits at the HTC logo.
I've relocked the bootloader in prep for an RUU, but I cannot find a THREE UK RUU thats 3.14.771, only version that are 1,29.771.xx and those will NOT flash, I have tried but the windows prog comes up with an incorrect rom error message.
I have also tried extracting the boot_signed.img from that RUU and doing it manually via fastboot, still no luck. It copies it over, but then says FAILED (remote: not allowed).
So what can I do now? I can still get into fastboot and exectue fastboot commands. Also Hboot of course. But what am I to flash????

seems like your bootloader isn't unlocked

That's right, I relocked it! I had it unlocked and even put CWM on it but flashing custom ROMS from CWM didn't solve the bootloop so I followed the instruction on the websites to relock the bootloader and use RUU! But no RUU version is high enough for me to flash! What the **** do I do? This is crazy!

Download an ICS custom rom and flash it through CWM.

Did that already. Didn't work, still kept bootlooping. And now that I have relocked the bootloader there's no way for me to get CWM back.

I would try and unlock the bootloader again and flash philz touch recovery and try to flash a custom Rom again, if you really want back to stock go to fastboot

Unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery and download this nandroid backup
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/184-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-h3g-106-31477134/
Restore it and AFTER that you flash this stock recovery
http://db.tt/pO3jumMa
Then you are able to update when one comes out !

As stated above, you can't do nothing with the bootloader locked.

Hi, thanks for the tip, I have now UNLOCKED the bootloader again and put CWM 5.8.4.0 back on!
When i do GetVar version-main I get this:
E:\android\android>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.14.771.34
finished. total time: 0.008s
It is three UK, I have tried to search google for that RUU but only versions lower than 3.14.xxx exist and those will not flash, even with extracting the signed_rom.img from the RUU.exe
I will try to restore once again the nadroid backup and see if it will let me boot but I am not hopefull

Ok, my progress has been abysmal!
I've done all of the steps above:
I have reinstalled CWM and then restored the nandroid of 3.14 using CWM as set out above, then flashed the stock recovery using fastboot. Upon boot it still won't boot into android, just stuck on HTC logo!
WHAT TO DO???

Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup folder !!!
And also :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage-format cache,data,system
Then restore the nandroid and boot it up !

And lock bootloader i think
Fastboot oem lock

No not needed, leave it unlocked. No advantage to lock it.

Well if you want to go completely stock then yes but if not then just leave it unlocked
Edit: oh yeah warranty purposes only right? Relock bootloader?

YEEES! Thank you soo much! Flashing the boot.img did the trick, my phone boots again into android! I had done a complete nandroid restore through CWM using the nandroid backup file you recommended, but that was before I flashed boot.img and it didn't help. I assumed that because boot.img was within that nandroid backup folder the CWM restore option would automatically do everything, but it clearly didn't.
Thanks again! Mr. Hofs, YOU ARE AWSOME!

Thank you for the kind words

[Q] Question: Stock Rom, Unlocked Bootloader, TWRP - How to update?

I've unlocked my Three (3) branded M8, installed TWRP and rooted my device (I've also tried out MaximusHD Rom, but decided to restore my original ROM from recovery as I couldn't get some software to load with it).
Three are now pushing out the updates for the M8 and I've tried to install it but it fails. Could someone tell me what I need to do? Back on my One X i needed to re-install stock recovery and re-lock the bootloader. Will I need to do this also?

Only flash the stock recovery if you can get one. Relocking the bootloader is not needed.....

Thanks. I'll try that now. So I am guessing once, I've completed doing that. I can then re-flash the TWRP and I'll probably need to root the phone again. Will let you know how it goes. There is a stock recovery that someone posted previously.

What you said worked perfectly, and funny enough I got the original stock recovery from your Thread. Can I ask how I would go about getting a backup of my current recovery now that I've updated my phone?
I tried what you mentioned in your thread about fastboot boot recovery recovery-name.img (yes i did put the recovery name in) but just got an error stating "cannot load 'recovery'".
Thanks for all your help.
Update: I notice that I can still boot into the system and have root even though I'm on the stock recovery, as if I go into Recovery I end up with the HTC Phone and red triangle. Does this mean there is no real reason for me to re-install TWRP? As all I really cared about was having Root.

What you have now is the stock rom and recovery + root. No reason to flash a custom one if you don't want to flash any mods or themes.
To create a new backup you can put the custom recovery in the fastboot folder and indeed perform the command :
Fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img
If it can't load the recovery you either typed the wrong recovery name or it's not in the fastboot folder. And the f you have a stock nand to share in my thread would be awesome !

Note that the command is fastboot boot recovery.img
The 'recovery' command will not register. I did it last night
Also, for future reference, I can perform a factory reset with the stock recovery and it will return me to stock even if I have rooted my device? I elected not to install TWRP, but instead just run it temporarily so that I could root leaving my stock recovery intact. Seems like a pretty straightforward answer which is 'yes' but just want to clarify. I have the stock ROM installed (AT&T)

Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Yes that's what i wrote right ?
Can you elaborate more on the not registered part ?
And yes factory reset will set it back to stock. Not sure if it will delete root. But all accounts and data will be gone !

And by not register I suppose I just mean its an unknown command if you specify a partition/kernel before the 'recovery.img' portion. I'm not sure if I'm using the vocabulary correctly

No problem I meant no disrespect! I was actually surprised you don't need to specify the partition for a temporary image....From my research it looks like they have may have changed that fastboot command from Android 4.3

haha disrespect ? no no all oke, i was wrong and you where right....you corrected me and thats great ! I also have to learn :good:

Mr Hofs, in my scenario where I have returned to stock recovery, installed the update from three. How would I go about backing up my current recovery? I've tried what you have done in your thread but there is no recovery file in the back up.

Yeah that's a strange thing. The backup from fisha21 didn't have a recovery either yet the ones made by guywithdesire1992 did have ?! I'm confused about that ! Can you check certain options in twrp maybe ?

Okay, will make a back up over to my computer and then try again. Will report back.

If it doesn't work you can also try philz touch, see if there is a difference ?

Yep did it with Philz touch and it now includes a recovery.img although it's filesize is 21MB compared to the regular ones. But now at least I have a backup of the recovery. Will upload to a location and post on your thread soon.

Thats awesome ! Really appreciate it
So to be clear, you booted philz and made a nandroid. So the recovery should be the stock HTC one ?
One way to check is to flash the recovery.img that's in the backup folder and enter it. If it gives a phone icon its stock
