Dear users,
I recently got the update to 4.2.2 with HTC Sense 5 (i downloaded it of course).
My phone was rooted, so i flashed the stock recovery back. I also had some system bloatware apps removed using Titanium Backup. I also restored them, finally i created an root backup with Voodo Rootkeeper.
The download was complete so it wen't in to "updating" mode. And about half way i get a phone with a red triangle in the center. The update fails.
I have installed Avast! Anti-Theft with Hardreset protection. Do i need to turn that off?
I also have installed some mods, do i need to also delete them?
Btw. Avast! Anti-Theft Hardreset protection has also some files flashed trough CMW Recovery.
What did i do wrong?
I have Nandroid Manager installed.
Which images do i need to restore without losing all my data, and still successfully update my phone to 4.2.2?
Big thanks in advance for all the help!
Tim
First, wrong section. This thread belongs to Q&A...
Removing system apps will certain caused OTA failure, but this should not your case if you had restore them correctly.
Hmm.. did antivirus running when you aplly OTA? Avast! Anti-Theft has nothing to do on failure OTA.
The main culprit most probably be the mods. Most mods changes system/framewark files. Don't try to deleting them directly unless you can identify the changes and revert to the stock version correctly
Also, no one here on xda can tell how many nandroid images you own and when you backup them. The are several ways to get back to stock and applying OTA and non of them will cause the lost of apps data. There are also multiple ways to backup your apps data too. Just remebered don't restore system related data after OTA.
Root backup is not useful for the HTC One X. You need to fully remove root (delete the su binary, the super user apk). I don't know if the mods cause the problem of the update. You may better remove them. I recommend you to backup important datas (telephone, sms...) and then fully wipe your phone. Did you make a nandroid backup before you installed any mods? If yes restore this backup using advanced mode in CWM and only choose system restore. If you don't have the backup, look for RUU suits your phone CID number and Android version and look for tutorials to make your phone completely stock. It's also recommended to remove this Avast thing.

I'll remove the full root access, can i flash it back after the update?
Yes i made a backup before any mods, will this also remove the SU binary's etc.?
And do i need to remove busybox too?
Thanks,
Tim
EDIT/UPDATE:
It looks like the restore system only in the advanced restore settings did the trick. Thanks for the suggestion!
I'll keep this in mind next time i'm going to flash something. Is there a tool that backups the things that are going to be flashed before the actual mod is flashed?
Thanks,
Tim
Never seen a tool like this. It is really only your job to remember to do a nandroid backup before flashing any mod. This is a must. It is a rule!
Gesendet von meinem ME172V mit Tapatalk 4
I totally agree with that, and i do it all the time. Thanks for the support. Now i'll try to install root again. Keep you updated!!
I think I have the same issue as tim687 ...
I want to revert back to the stock HTC Sense OS.
Before installing CM I made a nandroid backup and now I restored that backup (tried normal backup and system backup in the advanced options).
Now I would like to install the update by HTC, but when installing the update I am getting
E: unkown volume for path [internalsdcard: download/ota_endeavor....[filename}.zip
E: cant mount internalsdcard: download/ota_endeavor....[filename}.zip
Installation aborted.
Any help please?
Flash back the stock HTC recovery. You can't update via a custom recovery !

I was attempted to install 4.2.2 in my HTC One X phone and the HTC One w/ Beats Audio logo is stuck on the screen. I had a pain to wait to work with the ROM. I always use an original 4.1.1 ROM, and sometimes some apps are stuck while playing The Simpsons Tapped Out and Family Guy The Quest For Stuff.

I've tried to search but cant find a guide how to make a backup of my phone... if someone can explain or post me a link, i will be a happy man
Root phone.
Power off.
Hold volume down and power the phone on, and enter recovery mode.
Get into recovery menu (recoverywhatever.sh on *NIX or recovery-windows.bat)
Scroll to backup/restore in recovery menu.
Select backup NAND only - backing up EXT causes errors right now.
Find saved nandroid on your SD card.
Back up your apps separately using Titanium Backup or MyBackup Pro. Restore by wiping the phone, restoring the NAND, and restoring the apps via one of the above apps.
You need root for nandroid. Then it's done in recovery.
its rooted, but when i go into the recovery menu, the phone just shows a picture with a red triangle, is that correct?
No. Get back into the green recovery menu by running recovery-windows.bat or whatever method you used in step 2 of the rooting process to flash the rooted zip file.
ok thnx
one more thing, the titanium backup said i need busybox, how do i install that?... Found out myself
Did you get this problem solved as I have the same problem. I re rooted my desire and the same thing happened. The only time i can go to recovery is when I use recovery-windows.bat from the r5 tools. Any help?
i just use rom manager. choose backup in there, phone reboots itself, backs itself up and done.
used the recovery options a few times when moving from rom to rom.
ClockworkMod Recovery tool
ClockworkMod Recovery tool is really handy. Does everything itself in few clicks. I used Rom manager to backup with no problems without any previous experience.

Edit:
I accidentally posted on the wrong thread...
Are there still problems with this?
"backing up EXT causes errors right now."
I have one question.
If i make a nandroid backup, does it make a FULL nand backup or just certain parts of nand ?
If i for example make a backup of my leedroid rom with all my apps and settings
make wipe and then try a gingerbread rom, will restoring nandbackup actually restore the prevision rom with all the settings and apps ?

It will restore the entire rom to the exact state as the time before the nandroid. So yes all settings and apps will be there.

Is it worth rooting for a backup?
Also will a new OTA just remove root if or when another OTA comes out... ?

No there is not a real point in rooting for the ability to back up. And despite what some say, never apply OTA updates on rooted devices! But custom versions will come out at the same time as the OTA so you don't miss out on anything.

I need to do a total backup of my Desire, as I have the Android Market problem, and I have tried everyrthing and I mean everything trying to fix it without having to do a factory reset. So please dont give me tips on how to fix it.
What I do need information on is how I can totaly backup my desire, meaning
contacts
sms
google maps starred loactions
and all downloaded apps with their settign are backed up
I am aware that there are things on the Android market that I can download to backup different bits at a time, but I cant use Android Market app to download anything so I need to get apps that I can put on the desire from my pc.
Any ideas would be very helpful.
My desire is running Android 2.2 and has not been rooted or modded in any way.

Is there a way of backing up app data without rooting?
i.e. I want to be able to back up Angry Birds data so if I factory reset I can reinstall all my scores

Titanium Backup is a more flexible solution.
I don't see how backing up the whole nandroid and restoring it would fix anything, the phone would be in the exact same state.
Nothing that doesn't involve rooting to save data?
No way to do that. The data is simply saved in a partition that normal users can't access. So root is actually necessary in this case. Pretty easy and harmless, especially since you can unroot if you want to.
I thought so - I also assume to restore backups you'd need to be rooted too - silly - you'd think that some way to backup app data would be fairly common (to non-rooted bog standard users)...

Actually, I wouldnt call it exactly harmless. Depends on how you've gone about rooting it and what precautions you've taken.
If you're a newbie, ensure the following before you root:
Make a goldcard-Absolutely essential if you have an SLCD Desire, since RUUs are dificult to find for unrooting, if you're branded
Ensure that an RUU for your country is available, or a generic one which is sure to work.

There are apps to backup certain things like SMS and Application Installations (without data), which can work without being rooted. If you want the restoration to mimic the previous state of that app with data, then you need to access the system as root.
I backed up using Titanium backup after using unrevoked to root my device.
I now have a problem doing a OTA update from T-mobile/HTC (update 2.12.110.4)
It downloads then asks me to install to which I cay yes, it reboots and just sits at a screen. when I press the power button its shows the clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7
and says verfication signature failed and lets me reboot and doesnt install the update.
What is this?

OTA updates dont (usually) work after rooting. In most Rooted ROMs they wont download. In some they do, and wont update. OTA are like RUUs. They try to upgrade the factory version of the software and should be used only on non-rooted Desires. Anyway I dont see why you need them. In case you're rooted, the latest version of your custom ROMs would be better than OTAs..
How would I go back to the standard rom - is it by doing a factory reset?

If you mean you want to take your phone back to what it was when you first got it..This is called reverting to Stock
If you have rooted since you got the phone, and have not put on a custom ROM like Cyanogen, Aurax or LeeDroid, your phone is now basically Rooted Stock..In this case, if you just want to remove all the custom apps and data, you can do a factory reset..This does not remove the rooting. The app Superuser Manager will still be in your phone menu, and Recovery ROM-Clockworkmod/Amon Ra will still be on the phone. In brief, the rooting process is apparent to service engineers.
If you have put on a custom ROM like Cyanogen, Aurax or LeeDroid after rooting, if you just want to get your phone to the HTC look, you can flash a Stock based ROM-Froyo or Non Froyo (Just search for "Stock rooted ROM"). This will get you the HTC sense interface.
But if your purpose is to take phone back for warranty purpose and don't want them to know you've rooted it, you need to flash an RUU over your current setup. This will remove rooting process and get it back to factory setup.

So doing a factory reset wont remove the clockworkmod from my phone then?
How would I go about doing a RUU as I dont really need my phone rooted generally, and really only needed it for the Titanium backup?
Speaking of Titanium backup once I do the RUU I'm guessing I wont be able to restore my titanium backup bits, as I wont have root access anymore?

You just got your wish answered! Check out this thread. Apparently Titanium can be run in a Temporary Root mode, thus allowing us to restore items even after unrooting!
So doing a factory reset wont remove the clockworkmod from my phone then? No, it wont!

Hello all,
Yesterday I rooted my HTC One X and then I installed the custom Cyanogenmod 10 nightly build (cm-10-20121105-NIGHTLY-endeavoru), that all went through succesfully. However it was only for testing purposes, to see what Cyanogenmod 10 ROM was offering, but I now want to revert back my stock Android ROM.
During the installation process I followed the guides and I made a back-up straight after installing Clockwork Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0 (recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru), however when I reboot after restoring my back-up my phone doesn't boot into Android OS it stays at the HTC logo screen. Before I restore I delete data and cache.
I do belive its a boot.img fault and I would love it if someone could help me find a replacement for my stock image.
I originally was using
Android 4.0.3
Unlocked international version (Tegra 3)
I purchased from Virgin in Australia
I really need my old ROM back if possible, can anyone offer me any assistance?
Thank you
You have right, it's a boot.img problem. You have to flash the original boot.img of your stock rom. I think that it's normally in your Nandroid backup, but I'm not sure.

You need to flash the original boot.img with fastboot. If you boot into recovery and mount usb storage browse the "sd card" to clockwork mod/back up you will see boot.img, copy to your pc and flash with fastboot.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, I'll test later and report my findings.
Half success
Hey guys, thank you for your help. Following the advice given I was able to restore my boot.img and boot into my old phones OS, it states 4.0.3 and looks pretty much how my phone looked.
However I wonder if I could get some more assistance? My knowledge is limited I find it hard to even search for the correct terminologies on this website, let alone understand all the material that pops up. I do try to take care and follow guides, I didn't seem to have any problems with Cyanogenmod on my HTC Desire.
So my problem is difficult for me to explain, I'll try to be detailed.
Before I attempted to test CM10 I always transferred every app to the phone storage. Then starting the process I then installed SuperSU, ROM Manager and Titanium Backup but I did not move them to phone storage. I used HTCDev to unlock, via HTC One X All in One Kit 1.2.2. Then after installing clockworkmod I completed a backup, with a total size of 2.47GB (I'm not sure of a typical size).
I successfully tried a CM10 nightly build 4/11/12 then 5/11/12 an hour later and liked it but wanted to revert, I had my above OP problem now solved. But when after restoring my original backup I only have Titanium Backup, ROM Manager and SuperSu as my installed apps. No other apps are installed or registered at all, I don't have any old text messages (except 6 very recent ones), or call log history. However my details are stored, so it knows my google account details and my wifi details.
Most people here understand how the HTC One X works better than me. It seems the backup is made up of 7 files my guess in brackets:
.android_secure.vfat.tar (contains the stored apps) 1.51GB
boot.img (responsible for how it boots) 8MB
cache.ext4.tar (too small for me to guess) 10.5KB
data,ext4.tar (contains user data, configurations) 63.3 MB
nandroid.md5 (checksum) <1KB
recovery.img (to boot to clockworkmod recovery) 8MB
system.ext4.tar (Stores the OS) 906MB
Can someone help diagnose the problem and offer a possible solution? I'll upload the correct boot.img when this is working.
Thank you all again.

Doesn't that clear the data and or cache? Because I've done that, before I restore. I've tried several things including random button mashing
-EDIT-
Looking at the file sizes of other backups, the cache can be quite large. Is it possible during the backup the cache part was fudged? Meaning that its all gone. Or possibly I hit clear cache by mistake? Though I have absolute no memory of doing that or any reason as to why I would. When I install some apps, it picks up old content.
It's maybe better to buy Titanium Back-up Pro. Than you can back-up everything with that. (Apps, text messages, settings,...) And than a Nandroid back-up and you don't lose something. You can just lose your sd card if you do something wrong. I do it always so.

Its embarrassing but I already own Titanium Back-up Pro, I assumed (incorrectly) that clockworkmod backup was almost like taking a snapshot of the current system operating.
I had already backed up everything on the USB mountable drive space, but not the part that is actually useful to backup. D'oh.
I wondered if anyone was familiar with clockworkmod back up process and could inform me of how I am missing something so obvious and I click X Y Z a voila, its restored.
That's strange if you restored both things and your apps and text messages and more stuff are missing.

I know, I used 7-zip and I could successfully extract the *.tar files and there was so much information there, it had all of the apps I used. In the morning (I'm in Australia), I will try to find a way to manually import information. No idea how to start other than with an Internet Search.
Okay that didn't help at all, I'm stuck. I can see the apps but they will not install from the phone storage.
I can see in the .tar files the system apps that come pre-loaded but are not on my phone now, like Facebook. It's frustrating because I cannot do a factory restore because I do not have access to an original HTC installation. Is there an official international 4.0.3 installation image available or am I stuck with a screwed up phone until HTC release the official Australian 4.1 release?
Thanks people.
-EDIT-
I'm making the assumption that something failed during my first backup and that is why it didn't work on restore. I believe its the cache information as the rest are large in size and they pass the MD5 checksum, I don't know this for sure though.
My boot.img would be no good for the collection as it already exists. The boot.img I am using is the one I extracted from the RUU 1.29.728.12 I downloaded, since that should be the one my phone came with and it works.
My experience from this is that Cyanogenmod 10 is not yet ready for me to use but is looking promising. Also that I cannot rely on ClockWorkMod solely as a backup solution and should have used phones included backup features and Titanium Backup Pro that I own.
Cheers everyone.
So I'm having the hardest damn time to sideload OTA on my rooted Nexus 7.
I'm using TWRP recovery. Rooted running 4.4.
Everytime I attempt to sideload the OTA it's failing.
I'm trying to figure out what needs to be done for this to happen w/o having to perform a full wipe. I was under the impression that I could simply sideload but it doesn't appear to be so.
The only real modifications that I have done on this rom (besides the root for backup purpose) is the addition of custom sounds in the system/media folder. Not sure if this would cause the flash to fail.
Any thoughts?
TWRP failed for me too to sideload the OTA simply because I used a mod for translucent lock screen bars and when I flashed the stock bars, OTA sideload worked fine instantly.
Delete the custom sounds and try again.
If you have a nandroid backup of your stock Rom and it is clean, you can restore only the system without doing a wipe. Than you should be able to sideload. No data will be lost.

I'm assuming I can't just wipe the system partition... I do not have a backup for it after it's been touched.
Hi guys,
My phone is rooted, don't have S-OFF though but I don't think I need it for what I want to do.
I installed Titanium Backup (Root access OK), did a backup of all my apps and started to delete the unwanted ones. So I select Twitter for instance and click on Uninstall.
I get the notification "Un-install complete for "Twitter" and it appears crossed out on the list in TB.
But once I reboot the phone, everything is back as before step 1....
Any clue on what to do to make it work? Is it related to S-OFF?
Any tips would be helpful!
Thanks,
Tomfun

What rom you are using ?
Maybe you don't have access to system ( related to s-on )
Some apps is not placed in /system/app or /priv-app
It's placed in /system/vendor/app just delete the folder if it's there and reboot if this doesn't solve your issue
You may need to flash custom kernel which allow you to delete system apps

I am using the stock ROM 6.12.401.4
How can I flash the kernel?
If you are on the stock ROM, but with root; this alone does not give you permission to delete system apps (or other system changes within OS). This is counterintuitive, and the reason is that the system partition is write protected on this device, even with root.
As mentioned in the previous response, you need to apply a kernel mod to remove the write protection. If on a Sense Marshmallow ROM, you can use the wp_mod posted with the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-stock-unlocked-developer-sense-7-t3262894
If not on MM, or not on Sense, you'll need a different wp_mod. But I'm just guessing, as you haven't given any details.
As always, make a TWRP backup of your current setup, before applying the mod, in case anything goes wrong.
