getting Back to stock From Custom ROM Using CWM

hi
First thanks to sumesd & ClydeB1 with out their help
i would not have been successful in this process:good::laugh:
Few people had asked me how i went back to stock via CWM so im posting the same for ur info.
I am not a techie i just read and do what i need to. This worked for me so it should also for ur. I was on 1.29 did not do any previous OTA so i was able to get the OTA via this process
I was told that if u have updated to 2.17 u might not be able to get it back if u try from 1.29
if u have 2,17 nand back up yes u can do the below.Stock recovery given in the below link but im not sure if it will work.But sr developers says yes
i had the original stock rom backed up via CWM (1.29)
so if u have it too u can do this
1. Copy the boot.img from ur CWM nand bakup
keep it on ur PC and flash it via the fastboot comand on to ur Phone
2. Flash the backed up orignal rom via CWM
3. Then flash the original stock recovery
via fast boot command or u can use the tool given below it is easier
i have used it and it worked for me:good:
4. Re lock the boot loader
again via fast boot command or the tool given below
I used this tool to re lock and flash the recovery it can also do most of the above process
(thanks to thunder07)

one more link for the same : http://d-h.st/aEz
Note : it is a CWM back up u need to place it inside the CWM backup folder on ur SD to flash it via CWM nand restore OK . IT is not a update ZIP
hope the above helps:good::laugh:

The title is misleading!
You are saying that you restored everything to stock from CWM, but you have flashed the stock boot.img & stock recovery through your PC.
Well, if you are using your PC, the better & faster way is to simply re-lock & flash the latest RUU for your device (that ofcourse excludes JB, which till now cannot be restored to fully stock due to the Hboot 1.23).

hi
i did this and it worked for me and i have successfully up dated my OTA to 2.17 some guys asked me how so i have given the process for the procees u have given their are a few good tuts for the same:laugh:
this is just another way to do the same which i felt was easy if u like it u can do it :laugh:
and by doing nand restore i feel i save time ie i dont need to re install all my apps and contacts again
and just relocking is not enough u need to add stock recovery, then re lock and then flash the RUU via Pc at least that is what i have read

I am not saying it does not work, I am sure it does. but your title claims "Everything", whereas you are NOT doing "Everything" from CWM.
As for flashing through RUU, you dont need the stock recovery nor the stock boot to flash a stock RUU.

hi
i was just passing on some info i know and i have changed the topic see
and i hope u are right that u dont need stock recovery to flash the RUU because as per what i read it is needed .But then im not a techie just a guy who reads and does what is said thats all

Re-Locking (without stock boot & recover) and Flashing the RUU from fastboot (or bootloader can't remeber exactly) worked for me several times. Even if I get the security warning message, the RUU still flashed.
I believe there are two issues that the RUU checks, the ROM version & Hboot version. if both are either equal or higher in the RUU, it would flash succussfully.

my problem is my

What sense version do you want in result: 4+ or 5?
Did you update your phone via OTA earlier?
Post bootloader error here, please. Looks like your bootloader is updated and do not match requirements to flash RUU from Hutchison.

1.- i dont know what is better, if 4+ or 5.
2.- in fact the phone was updated by other person, i don't know what he did :/
3.- let me flash ruu again and post bootloader error.
if it's usefull, it has Team Win Recovery Project v2.4.1.0 installed.
thanks for reply

Well, looks like firmware\hboot was updated and latest RUU for your CID requires older firmware\hboot.
So, you can't use old RUU to go back to stock.
You need to flash stock ROM for 1.39 hboot from recovery
Try to find ROM like this one, but older: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970&highlight=*stock*
I guess you need to search 3.18 or 3.20 version, don't remember wwich one will work with 1.39

ok, i'll search it.
thank you sir, i'll let you know the results.

one more question, can i use this method posted here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927048
exactly this:
Nand for H3G__106 - thanks to Jackster88
Part 1
Part 2
Quote:
Instructions:
***For this nand to work you need HBOOT 1.39 and cwm***
1) go into fastboot and enter "fastboot oem lock" - the device will reboot
2) go into fastboot again and enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - there will be a black screen with a silverish HTC logo
3) enter "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" (you need the firmware.zip from page 1 for this)
3a) enter the same again, the green bar under the logo should go to 100% (either after the first or second time)
4) enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to go back to your fastboot
5) unlock your device again with the unlock code ("fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin")
6) Restore your old boot.img (fastboot flash boot name_of_boot_file.img) and recovery (fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img), make sure you copied them from the nandroid backup folder we created earlier into the folder that contains the fastboot.exe you're using.
7) Reboot and you should now have Hboot 1.39 with your old boot and recovery.
(8) If it won't work we still have the backup ready to restore the old system, Hboot isn't changeable right now on S-ON devices outside of the RUU routine - so even if you restore your nandroid you should still have Hboot 1.39 now)
Confirmed working with H3G__001, H3G__003, H3g__G04

yes, you can try this method
except, I guess you need not flash firmware, because you are already on 1.39

Want to clean install stock rom.........need to s-off or not ????

Hi my phone kinda act crazy these days ( constant reboot ) so I`m thinking about to clean install my room......downloaded rom here:-
http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_50_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_4.19.707.3-3.14.707.24_release_3346060yp26w70ibi8zm1g.zip
And then doing these steps :-
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
then flash the firmware.zip
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
But failed because of FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)........
My phone bootlooder is locked and s-off.......
Also my phone software no.is Software Number : 4.19.707.3........
THNXX in advance
What am I doing wrong here ????

That's an ota file and not a rom. Don't flash the ota like that, only the firmware from within. And you don't need to flash the firmware because you are already on that firmware. And why not restore your stock nandroid backup ?

Nope.....my phone s-on...........
Noob question.......to flash cwm recovery also need to unlock bootloader ??? ( kinda new about htc phone btw )

Yes unlocked bootloader is needed to flash.
Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup, flash the recovery.img from the nandroid backup. Copy the nand to the sdcard (in unpacked form to the right folder) and make a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid backup.
EDIT : S-ON....yeah thought so

Well kinda late to reply......busy btw.........
Ok just follow your given guide
But step step no.4-5 I kinda not understand
1- Go into Recover (CWM) and Mount USB
2- Now From your PC create a folder in the root of the storage and call it "clockworkmod"
3- In the "clockworkmod" folder create another folder named "backup"
4- Extract the .zip file in that folder (do not change the name of the folder extracted cause it could give md5sum problems)(also the folder name must not have any space between words)
5- Before continuing on the phone, open that folder from the pc and copy the boot.img in the folder that you prefer
6- Reboot phone into Fastboot mode and flash the boot.img by typing
Code:
CWM NAND: fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
Ok I copy boot.img file to fastboot folder and typing those fastboot command but ended up like this :-
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
error: cannot load 'path/to/boot.img'
Kinda confuse here.......
Also I want to revert to stock recovery as well but kinda confuse which one for my phone.........here`s my phone info :-
c:\fastboot>fastboot getvar all

That`s all............

The nandroid backup is zipped to share it easier on xda. You have to unpack it.
Put the boot.img in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file is and open the command prompt in that folder.
Then type the commands
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Just that command not a path to in it......

Damnnn..........thought if doing nandroid ackup I manage to solve this phone keep rebooting issue........but not after all.......
Any other opinion ?
Send for warranty is my last resort ? ( kinda hesitate to send it back becoz of relock bootloader )

If you are on full stock with a full wipe. There is not much more to do than that !

You mean factory reset ???

Nah i mean when you restored the stock nand after a full wipe it should be all fine. Also flashed the boot.img from the nand ?

ALready factory reset.........maybe app related......see what happen next

Ke, keep me posted

Hmmm..........after factory reset it still the same.......sometime when I boot to bootloader screen it show security warning.......sometime it doesn`t.........
FYI after doing nandroid backup I also flash stock recovery.....download from this :-
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=endeavoru_recovery_signed.img
AFter that relock bootloader.........
HArdware issue maybe ???

So you resstored the 4.19.707 nand clean. And is the stock recovery the right one. Don't think so because of the warning.
Make sure it's a matching stock recovery. Unlock the BL and flash the recovery.img from the OTA.zip

Problems during restoring phone

Hi everyone,
I'm stuck, I am trying to restore my HTC One X to stock as I am sending off for repair, however its not working. I've read many tutorials but I'm still not getting anywhere.
I've locked the phone, replaced the recovery.img and replaced the boot.img however the RUU won't install.
My phone is from Australia, Virgin and has the CID of: CID_023
My original Nandroid back-up is gone, so I can't use that.
Can anyone give me some advice on what I might be doing wrong and what information you require to help me?

2. download this Nandroid Backup
3. go in recovery mount the sd card and unrar the nandroid backup to your computer after this paste on your SD card in folder Backup
4. flash the boot.img, erase cache, and restor nandroid from recovery.

Thank you for your help, so the problem for me was the 3.14 update I had applied. I can't download the file at work, I'll try at home later.

Thant, I want to thank you for your assistance with this problem. Your solution worked, I was able to install the OTA update.
The guides I was following used the RUU as the solution to those without a working Nandroid back up of their own, I wasn't aware that 3.14 or newer could be a problem for that. It is a shame out of date guides are not removed or updated.
I had seen people upload nandroid backups, but I didn't trust those. I decided to take a chance with yours and it worked for me.

SuperSU is still install, I am now assuming the firmware/h-boot is still a modified version. Looking into it.

Okay I'm going crazy SuperSU is on my phone and I can't get rid of it. I couldn't uninstall it, so I re-rooted the phone, installed custom recovery, installed SuperSU binaries then tried to uninstall. But every reboot reinstalls the application. Argh!!!
Any help with this?
Okay fixed the SuperSU problem, unfortunately the Nadroid backup supplied was not a stock image, still worked though when I did a factory reset, restored nandroid backup, install SU binaries, uninstalled SuperSU from OS, restored recovery, locked OEM, downloaded OTA and installed it.
So it all looks good except the recovery option comes up with an image of a phone and a large red exclamation mark, I assume this means the recovery.img doesn't match. Is there a way to fix this as I'd like my phone repaired?
Thank you
-EDIT-
Okay, I've done some more reading and learnt a little more, which is great.
I believe I need recovery.img for 4.19.728.3, so that will match the software on my phone. I've tried stock recovery for 4.19.707.3 but that didn't work.
I wonder if I should downgrade everything. Say downgrade HBOOT to 1.39, then install stock software of 4.18 and removing SuperSU, then flash stock recovery, lock the phone and attempt a OTA update to update everything. I'm assuming an OTA update would update HBOOT to 1.73, the software to 4.19 and the recovery will also be updated to work. Is this a good solution perhaps?

Okay fixed the SuperSU problem, unfortunately the Nadroid backup supplied was not a stock image, still worked though when I did a factory reset, restored nandroid backup, install SU binaries, uninstalled SuperSU from OS, restored recovery, locked OEM, downloaded OTA and installed it.
So it all looks good except the recovery option comes up with an image of a phone and a large red exclamation mark, I assume this means the recovery.img doesn't match. Is there a way to fix this as I'd like my phone repaired?
Thank you
-EDIT-
Okay, I've done some more reading and learnt a little more, which is great.
I believe I need recovery.img for 4.19.728.3, so that will match the software on my phone. I've tried stock recovery for 4.19.707.3 but that didn't work.
I wonder if I should downgrade everything. Say downgrade HBOOT to 1.39, then install stock software of 4.18 and removing SuperSU, then flash stock recovery, lock the phone and attempt a OTA update to update everything. I'm assuming an OTA update would update HBOOT to 1.73, the software to 4.19 and the recovery will also be updated to work. Is this a good solution perhaps?

You can't downgrade are you upgrade the stock rom to 4.19?
if you are on 3.17.728.x you need stock rom not rooted and stock recovery 3.17.728.x maybe you can try with stock recovery 4.19.728.x

That would be great, a Google search doesn't show anything and neither does a search on XDA forums, would you have any suggestions where I could find it?
Thanks

[Q] HTC M8 Wifi problems on several Roms -HELP!

I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I have.
My htc M8 was rooted and insertcoin was flashed onto it however the wifi button greyed out and wouldnt turn on in order to s-off it. I tried several different roms and they all have the same problem. I am currently running skydragon v5. I have been trying to sort this phone out for a week and I am getting absolutely nowhere so any help would be appreciated. It's on ORANG001 and is s-on.
Thanks

You have old firmware. You need to have 4.19.61.2 on ORANG001 in order to have wifi on these ROM.
And you post this in wrong section.

Apologies, new to the forum it's been moved now!

Yeah .. requested it to be moved to correct section.
So .. you need to restore your stock ROM and do OTA up to 4.19.61.2
What's your current firmware version .. 3.33.61.9 or 2.26.61.1 ? Or even lower ?
Check what's written on bootloader - hboot 3.16 or 3.18 .. you need 3.19

That's a very low version ... you need to restore to stock backup 1.54.61.5
But I deleted my TWRP backup for most 1.xx.xxx.x only keep 2.x; 3x & 4x
There is someone else backup made with Philz recovery so you need to download Philz recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703223
then download the backup : https://mega.co.nz/#!WhwRmSoJ!QJxmI0gYj7t_0Hc4fMKx0XLYQ2n45S3OfrEcDRS3C-s
restore that backup with the stock recovery (included in that backup if I'm not wrong)
then do multiple OTA

Okay cheers for your help!

I was trying to adb push the firmware to my phone to then install it on Recovery but when im typing "adb devices" it says list of devices attached then it is blank. I have been trying to search for solutions but I cant seem to fix it. If you have any advice it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone got an idea?

This is usually an issue on the computer's side (PC?). Try to re-install HTC drivers, try another USB port, or another cable. Also, if you have USB 3.0, this is known to cause issues with adb connectivity (apparently, you can disable this).
Also, you need to be booted into OS or in recovery for adb to work (does not work in bootloader) and you need to have USB debugging activated in Settings.
And when you say "firmware" I think you mean a nandroid backup, based on the instructions previously given to you? Be careful using the term "firmware" here, as most folks use that term to specifically mean the firmware.zip that contains hboot, radio etc. (but not ROM).

Don't you have a MicroSD ? Put the extracted nandroid on MicroSD at the right location clockworkmod\backups\ is easier than doing that ADB push.

Okay finally got the nandroid backup installed. Then when i tried to install the OTA update it took me to CWM and failed. So i then relocked and tried again to update OTA and it took me to the bootloader with a ***Relocked*** and *** Security Warning*** any ideas ?

You need to re-install the stock recovery in order to OTA. Bootloader lock has nothing to do with it (will OTA with unlocked bootloader).

I have installed the Nandroid backup mentioned above to stock i believe. Is this the correct step or is this still not stock ? it was 1.54.61.5
Thanks

Stock ROM backup and stock recovery are two different things.
You need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to replace the CWM that you have now. Inside the backup zip, there is a recovery.img .. take this out and fastboot flash it.
You need to unlock bootloader to flash it.

when using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" using the recovery.img from the unzipped nandroid folder the process runs and it says okay with no errors then when i try go into recovery the red triangle and exclamation mark appear again

Yes that's stock recovery. Perform the ota now

Because that is stock recovery. You don't need to get into recovery.
Just reboot, check OTA, download then select install.
Let the system do the installation on its own
