HTC One X International Mounting SD Card and Flashing Issue's - HTC One X

Hello Everyone, pretty new to this community.
I have been fixing and flashing stuffs for pretty long time and found XDA brings out alot of help for me reading comments and guides.
I'm having problems with mounting the SD-Card, i remember i had in the past CWM recovery that i could actually mount successfully without having any drivers issues (Windows 7 Home Premium) when trying to Mount the SD-Card.
Now even the latest CWM or TWRP recoveries, i can't mount the SD-Card.
Why i want Mount it via Recovery?
Because i deleted the OS and i'm trying to put on my SD-Card a Stock Nanroid Backup for it since there is no RUU.exe out there for the HTC One X International with CID : T-MOB101 that i can flash via fastboot.
What i tried to do is, from fastboot flashing a random ROM that hopefully i will be able to mount SD-Card on that ROM.
I tried this :
fastboot flash boot boot.img (that i took out from that ROM.zip)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ROM.zip
Don't really know if its possible doing it that way, but i gave it a try that i head in my head.
I know i'm supposed to do it via Recovery Mode, but i can't even insert files there since the HTC One X has a build memory which makes lifes harder.
That's my phone details :
Code:
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.72.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-5.1204.163U2.31
eMMC-bootmode: disabled
CPU-bootmode : disabled
HW Secure boot : enabled
MODEM PATCH : OFF
Jun 21 2014,18:24:41
CID : T-MOB101
Its a Germany Phone version if you wondering.
So i'm wondering if there is a way that i could push the files of the Nanroid backup to my phone?(Reminding again, i have no Software running. can't mount SD-Card via Recovery Mode, and SD-Card is clean.)
Or if anyone here somehow have a good old recovery CWM version that can mount the SD-Card that i could give it a shot.
I can replace the USB port though, but it won't help.
Thanks in advance.

After a bit pain with drivers error when mounting SD-Card with Philz recovery, that actually successfully Mounted my SD-Card
Thanks a tons for that. +1 for you.
Now i'm moving to the second step of this topic, the flashing errors.
I will post some photos here to be more clear about my steps.
I went to This Website and got my Stock Nanroid Backup to T-MOB101 cid number for CWM and TWRP just in case :
M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID T-MOB101 1.28.111.6 2013-03-29
M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID T-MOB101 2.24.111.3
After i got them, i checked MD5 of course, and putted them inside the SD-Card where the backups should be.
Then i flashed CWM recovery and tried to restore the CWM Stock Nanroid Backup with an "error Flashing Boot Image" :
So i tried to do the same proccess with TWRP Recovery with an error "Unable to extract tar archive" :
Then i also tried doing it with Philz recovery, and same error as CWM :
So i saw that i got no more hope, then i tried to use an old Nanroid Backup that i have made to my phone before, so i putted inside the phone, and when i tried to restore my Nanroid backup, it actually did work, BUT, after it says "Restore Completed" :
I went to reboot my phone that hopefully i will see the phone loading up, but i guess not, bring me back to fastboot screen :
It wasn't even making a sign of loading software, when i boot my phone up, it automatically brings me to Fastboot mode.
Same with Philz Recovery :
And same story with TWRP recovery.
I was thinking its related to the boot.img that i get that error because of that file, so i also tried to replace that boot.img with the Old Nandroid Backup that it actually allow the restore process begin with it with the Stock Nandroid Backup, but same error.
Kinda feeling lost, hopefully someone can help me out with this please.

I think you try to restore wrong nandroid
M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID T-MOB101 1.28.111.6 2013-03-29
M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID T-MOB101 2.24.111.3
look at the red M7 I think you try to restore nandroid for HTC ONE M7 not for HTC ONE X

Oh...Shame on me not paying attention to that thing.
Thanks for opening my eye's! +1
So after digging more in forums, i found out that link Nandroid Backups.
So i have tried all the RUU's and Nandroid for my Cid Number, and all of them worked except the RUU's.exe and with flashing the Nandroid Backups, my phone got into bootloops.
But there were 2 kind of Nandroid backups that actually worked which are :
1. T-Mobile DE 3.14.111.28 [CWM]
MD5: af82f0cfb8aa61b670c59e0308a55582
2. T-Mobile DE 3.14.111.27 [TWRP]
MD5: f6a67adb8ad51ca9f55760be31ed5e49
All seems good, BUT(always BUT unfortunately ) the touch screen not function at all when it loads up.
That's the reason i tried both of them, to flash with TWRP and then with CWM.
Seems like i'm able to flash correctly only the version : 3.14.111.2- , no clue why others didn't work properly.
Something i might suspect of, that it skips one of the files when flashing Nandroid backup as you can see below :
"Volume not found! Skipping restore of /sd-ext."
I also tried to get a Nandroid backup from Here and it doesn't work also.
So if i got to that point where my phone actually bootup and load the software with these :
HTML:
1. T-Mobile DE 3.14.111.28 [CWM]
MD5: af82f0cfb8aa61b670c59e0308a55582
2. T-Mobile DE 3.14.111.27 [TWRP]
MD5: f6a67adb8ad51ca9f55760be31ed5e49
The question is, how will i be able to fix the touch screen issue's?
If i will be able to fix that issue, i will run all updates until i get to the latest version of HTC One X of my Cid Number.
I think that's the last step for me for this topic, just to solve the touch problem that not function at all.
Thank alot for the help.

You are with too high HBOOT 1.72 and the tuch never will work on 3.14 base only after 3.20 base will work. The tuch work in Philz recovery but not work in your nand backup 3.14.11.x because your HBOOT is too high.Search newer nand backup for your base or install custom rom. You can see your main version with the command fastboot getvar version-main and search for nandroid with this numbers where you see after runing the command

Running "fastboot getvar version-main" command results :
Code:
version-main: 4.17.111.4
finished. total time: 0.017s
After googling in 10 Pages, with search key word :
"HTC One X T-MOB101 Nandroid Backup"
I couldn't find anything higher than 3.20 except the one that i mention before that his version is :
Code:
T-Mobile DE 4.17.111.3 [TWRP]
MD5: 89c261ef42833e7515fdcec6d81a0b15
But when i flash it with TWRP recovery, it will stay stuck on HTC Screen, which brings the questions, why does TWRP Nandroid Backups doesn't have boot.img like CWM Nandroid Backups that has boot.img that i can simply take it out and go into fastboot and flash as :
fastboot flash boot boot.img , in case the phone is stuck on HTC screen.
Here is a topic i was reading and the comments that this guy seem to pretty much handle the same issue as i do atm :
Another thing that got me thinking after you told me that touch doesn't work because HBOOT doesn't match to these old versions is,
Downgrading the HBOOT, but as much as i know, you can't really downgrade your HBOOT unless you have S-OFF, which is impossible on the HTC One X International since the mmcblk file in the system, is a huge file that build in that hold the Cid Number and i can't really pull it out of the phone and modify it with Hex Editor and then put it back for changing my Cid in order to reach S-OFF.
So to downgrade my HBOOT i assume it won't work since i can't get S-OFF.
I kind of want to get back to the Stock ROM after checking some ROM's for that phone, i got the idea of it and figure out that the original is much faster and better to work comparing to the ROM's.
Can you recommend about any ROM that you had experience with, with that HTC One X ? I'm kind of curious more, since so far, i seem not to be successful bringing back my HTC One X International to Stock ROM.
So what else could come up in your mind?

Noob with a bricked(possible) htc desire

Hi Folks,
i am a noob and have just started picking up the tricks of the trade.i have an unbranded htc desire. Was using the HiAPk rom till now. Then thought of flashing the INsertcoin 1.1.2. Created EXT4 for the same and recopied all data to my sdcard. Now when i try to flash any rom it just gets caught at the boot screen. Hi dont have a recovery image. But i do have a nandroid backup. Restoring the backup is not helping as well. The phone is s-off,rooted with clockword recovery 2.5.0.7. i do have access to recovery but, whatever i do, the phone gets stuck at the boot screen. Please assist. I guess this occured when i accidentally selected/deselected hboot/fastboot option? can that be a potential cause?
Try and go into recovery then wiping Data/Cache, then go to advanced -> wipe dalvik cache and reboot. If it doesnt work, reflash the rom and do the above steps again and reboot. See if it works

Tried doing the above steps but still caught at the boot screen whenever i reboot. Though the rom got installed but, on rebooting the same boot screen staring at me
What version recovery do you have? Try updating it, although remember that having a nandroid backup from an older recovery wont restore if you are on a newer recovery. So maybe it isn't a good idea to update your recovery if you only have a nandroid from an older recovery.
BEFORE READING ON: What partitions are you using? It could be that the new ROM you want to flash doesn't fit in the current partitions you have flashed. Stock? CM7r2? Oxygen?

Try with Fasboot Commander v1.51 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915).
Here are steps I used last night when I was in the same situation as you:
1.Once you download Fastboot Commander, make sure you have the latest java downloaded on your PC (java.sun.com).
2.Once you've done that, open up Fastboot Commander on your PC, then boot your phone using Vol Down + Power and choose "FASTBOOT".
3.Then, connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable and go to the "misc" tab in Fastboot Commander and click "Check connection", and if it's successful, then choose "print device info" so you see everything is OKAY.
4.Paste the "Device Info" here too so we can see what's up!
5. On the same "misc" tab in Fastboot Commander, tick the boxes in the "Erase partitions": System, Cache, Boot
6. Click "Erase Chosen Partitions"
7. Choose "BOOTLOADER" on your phone display, and when it's done, disconnect the USB cable.
8. Flash the new ROM as usual, while doing a full wipe right after you flashed it (still in recovery): Dalvik/Data/Cache
9. Reboot when done and hopefully it will work.
If it doesn't work, I think it will be that you are trying to install a ROM which supports a different partition table than what you have flashed, which is causing the bootloops because of the lack of space on the partitions needed.
Good luck

Hi, was using a HiApk ROM till now which needs no partitions at all. Also i agree that it might be the case that the new rom which i want to flash is not supporting the partitions(no reasons why HiAPK shouldnt run coz had been running it without partitions for the past 2months). Before going ahead ,do u think i should i re-format my sdcard to FAT32 and delete the partitions..Just in case this doesnt work out i go ahead with the fastboot commaHer. Whatever you suggest is what i am going to do. Thanks.

Also the new ROM that i was trying to flash requires a 1gb ext2/3/4. So i did a 1 gb Ext4 partition. This one is the stable insertcoin 1.1.2

EDIT: Forgot to mention that in order to use Fastboot Commander you'll need the ADB drivers. Just install HTC Sync to get the drivers for it!
Since you say in the beginning that you are S-Off and have Recovery 2.5.0.7, the only things I can think of that you haven't done are this:
1. Insertcoin 1.1.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940&highlight=insertcoin) says you need to be S-off (which you are), and have the latest recovery (5.0.1.0). So my first piece of advice would be to update your recovery to 5.0.1.0 from what you have now (2.5.0.7) but remember what I said about nandroid backups and recovery earlier on!!
2. Make sure you have a 1GB Ext2, Ext 3 or Ext4 partition on your SD-card. The way to partition your SD-card is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7279872&postcount=3
Insertcoin says it should work on the stock HBOOT which I'm assuming you have since you said you've never flashed another partition table on your phone.
So basically, update your recovery (best done with Fastboot Commander imo) and make sure the md5 sums match up. Once you've updated your recovery, make sure your SD card is ready, then wipe everything in recovery and reflash the rom, and wipe everything in recovery again before rebooting.
Again, remember that since you made your nandroid backup in CWM 2.5.0.7, it wont be able to restore in CWM 5.0.1.0 so basically once you update your recovery your nandroid from 2.5.0.7 will be useless.

Hey Eddie N,
Just one thing. Now just to get back to the ROM i was running till now, should i just flash HiAPK now after doing all those steps as u suggested? Once i get through with this i can go ahead to flash insertcoin. But , first priority now is to just run the phone out of the boot screen in HiAPK(as it requires no partitioning/no recovery issues).. Thanks for the invaluable help. I am gonna keep u posted
I'd do this now:
Nandroid back to your HiAPK, then get RomManager and in Rom Manager update your CWM from 2.5.0.7 to 5.0.1.0 (the EASIEST way). Do a nandroid backup right away through rom manager after installing the new recovery so you can always go back if something goes wrong!! Reboot to recovery and reflash insertcoin.
After doing that you should have what's needed to run insertcoin (S-Off, latest recovery, Stock hboot, 1gb ext2/3/4). Before you didn't have latest recovery and you changed SD-card but i assume you fixed your SD-card now
If nandroiding back doesn't work, reflash it from scratch. If THAT doesn't work I'm not quite sure how to help you further I'm new myself but managed to fix my bootloop last night with the method i gave you

You are the man!!!yes i changed my sd card now. MAybe my sd card has gone bad. No wonder i couldnt flash any rom..Now back to HiAPK. I am gonna setup my sdcard again using gparted. Dont rely think the partitioning tool i was using till now was wrking(perhaps damaged my sd card) Thanx a lot mate
Just checked.. The phone was loading up even without the sd card(the one suspected of having gone kaput). But, now when restart the phone with that sd card it gets stuck at the boot screen. Any reason why this can be happening?
Seriously.. there should be sticky saying that stuck at htc screen, or bootloop is not a brick.

[Q] [Solved] Stuck at HTC One screen after flat battery

[Q] Stuck at HTC One screen after flat battery
Hey guys,
Today my phone went flat, so I put it on charge for a bit, now I can't get it past the htc one (o1/ne) screen.
I'm running the stock Jelly Bean rom, my Cid is HTC__044
I've unlocked bootloader and have the custom Clockwork mod recovery installed and the device is rooted.
I tried restoring from a backup, deleting cache, factory reset.
I think an appropriate RUU may help, but it's pretty much impossible to find one that is downloadable (the filefactory one wont let me due to too many downloads of that file, and one I found on a chinese forum (after signing up and having to reply to the thread) failed to download :/ )
when I run an old RUU it tells me that my version or whatever it is, is 3.14.707.24
I can get into recovery and fastboot easily.
Can someone please help?
I'm going on holiday on the 19th so I really hope I can fix this.
You can restore the matching nandroid backup from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
You will have to do a full wipe ,but it will be working afterwards
Download the backup and put it in the clockworkmod folder of.the sdcard of the phone, copy the boot.img from the backup and flash it with fastboot commands, do a full wipe in recovery and restore the backup !
You can mount the sdcard in recovery as USB disk to copy the backup on to it !

Thanks I adopted your methods and used it on my existing backup which finally got it to boot,
To recap:
flash boot.img from nandroid backup (fastboot)
restore backup from clockwork recovery
wipe data / factory reset
reboot.
Maybe Jelly Bean just isn't ready for my device? I'm a bit worried about it screwing up overseas, because I wont have a computer or much of an internet connection to solve the problem.
Thanks for your help!
No problem, good it's sorted !

[Q] Victim of 5.07.651.6 update - BOOT LOOP + No Access To The Recovery Mode ! HELP

Hey Guys
My Story started from 6 days ago when i wanted to change my battery , the device now is keep restarting on White screen ( HTC EVO 4G ) and hangs whenever i press the recovery mode in bootloder menu .
I Almost tried everything and only successfully unlocked the boot loader finally using --->([HowTo] Unlock Bootloader And Root 2.3.5 HBOOT 2.18 ) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755 but no chance to S-OFF the device and replace the whole ROM "
i can't root and downgrade the phone because all "bootloader: 2.18.0001 " methods need either active debugging mode or recovery menu which is not accessible !
i have access only through the fastboot - Hboot USB or SdCard .
I have tried almost all version of RUUs and it failed , says " bootloder version error " or " the main version is older "
PC36IMG Downgrade to the 4.67.651.3 which is last available version from the sd card also failed says " the main version is older "
here is the Fastboot info
INFOversion: 0.5

INFOversion-baseband: 2.15.00.01.15
INFOversion-cpld: None

by the way i figure it out that i may be able to trick the htc and change the txt file called android-info.txt inside the PC36IMG for the " Main version is older " ERROR but Unfortunately i have no permission to edit or modify my stock ruu Rom "PC36IMG " that i extracted from last available RUU version for evo4g "RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio _2.1 5.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed" .
Any Idea Please ?

You need to install a custom recovery, which can be done from the bootloader. Search for Smelkusmod recovery here and follow the instructions on how to install it. Afterwards you can install a custom ROM
Edit: Here is the link for Smelkusmod recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543
Once installed, place whatever ROM you want on the root of your SD card. Then you can enter recovery from the bootloader screen and flash the ROM.
I also suggest reading Hipkat's guide which can be found in the link below.

Two things, either you have a bad partition or your recovery is gone. Easiest thing to do would be to load a custom recovery onto the root of your SD card and make sure the file is named PC36IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension or it won't work). Make sure the phone is powered off, then hold down the power down & volume buttons until the bootloader opens up. Hopefully the recovery will load and you'll be prompted to update. Just follow the on-screen instructions. Also, make sure you don't have any other PC36IMG's on your SD card.

many tanks for reply xx . . .the only thing i remember aside the changing the battery was that 1 day before this happen, i removed my sd card to recover some accidentally deleted picture using RecoverMyFiles software from my computer . . . i also tried loading a custom recovery and yes i certainly ensured that the file name is PC36IMG and formatted my SD card before transferring the file . . . i also tried different SD cards ex: 2gb - 4gb - 8g etc ! All those steps you just mentioned is carefully done ! and the result is that the device skip the update from the sd card says : no or wrong image !!
aside that i have upgraded my recovery to" recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.2-supersonic " and "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 " and many other available recoveries through the fastboot since my bootloader is unlocked !
but the thing is nothing is loading after all those updates !!
the only thing got my attention was that when i update those custom recoveries the device would hangs after choosing recovery from the bootloader but if i use the 5.07.651.6 version original recovery the device would keep restarting !!

I just tried the Smelkusmod recovery one more time again from the Sdcard and it load the PC36IMG but hangs on " Parsing...[PC36IMG.zip] "
i was able to loaded it successfully through the fastboot method and the device hangs after i press the recovery from the boot loader menu as i expected
You need to download the .img file, not the PC36IMG.zip
Once you get the .img file, do the following (connected to PC in fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name.img>
The recovery has to be in the same directory as fastboot though

I purchased an HTC Evo 4G from Ebay and the hardware is perfect. My problem is exact same. Found out this thing has the 5.07 update and there is no RUU to restore it and can't go backwards with S-ON!!! Can't get S-OFF without booting as this thing won't go into recovery or boot at all. I did however **Unlocked** the bootloader and that is as far as I get. I even re-locked it to try all the RUUs! I develop roms for this device so I know what I am doing! Keep getting replies to flash custom recovery which I already tried all of them and unfortunately it will just bootloop instead of recovery. Even tried 'fastboot boot (recovery name) and fastboot flash recovery (revovery name)....Need someone to get into a RUU and modify it to by-pass the firmware version check if possible! If I can get this to boot into any rom, then I can fix this!!! Come on devs, if we can port-in beats, bravia, and all other device ports, we can solve this!
You need to relock and apply the signed firmware zip from the latest OTA. If that's the software version you were running, it *should* get you booting again.
Here's that file, if you can't find it elsewhere: http://d-h.st/3yF

Cool! Thank you for your input. But I put this thing aside in my computer store for awhile... I will try this zip today.. I did re-lock the bootloader before I posted earlier though and already tried re-installing the latest last known RUU but same issue... In fact, I tried all RUU available!! Also, if I can only get into recovery I can fix this thing. Hope this zip helps... Question, how do I apply this zip file if I cannot get into recovery in the first place? I'm quite sure the seller of this Evo did the latest OTA update before it crashed in middle of it and got this reboot loop in the first place. Is there a way to slipstream the extracted images of this zip into the latest RUU in the appdata hidden file while it is running on windows? lol - sorry for all this but this issue is crazy!!! NOTE: Don't get the last security OTA update for this thing!!! It's a SECURITY UPDATE alright.. LOL!

You flash the zip through HBOOT, not recovery. Rename to PC36IMG.zip (exactly), place on sd card in no folder, and choose yes to apply update once the bootloader reads it. Again, make sure you relock first, and then hopefully the device will boot. If it doesn't, it may be normalized to the point that you can unlock and flash a custom recovery and it actually stick.
Issue continues

I tried just this, relocked and renamed, after a few seconds in Hboot, it gave several lines of 'no image', then a final 'no image or wrong image', went back to normal Hboot.
More info on my problem here.
I'm kinda have similar issue... I pulled my old Evo from box it has a-off ... When I booted up it went to home screen then just shut off by it self.. then kept bootloops .. I then tried to get to recovery it boots to HTC logo and bootloops too... I tried ruu it will still bootloops .. the reason y my phone died was because battery inside phone was bulky that's y it started.. got new battery still same problem... I'm thinking maybe ramdisk got messed up.. I can go to bootloader but that is it... What can it be? I mean if there is no solution I have another Evo I never rooted and still works...and also have Evo 4g lte. My back up phones just in case if something breaks

If it boot loops after you tried a RUU, then you have bigger problems and probably need to swap to one of your backup phones.

Your best solution is to flash a custom ROM. Put the firmware and thew gapps on your sdcard and flash them through recovery. First the ROM, and after that the gapps.

Unlock bootloader, download a custom recovery(TWRP), download a nandroid backup for your device from this thread: COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Boot into custom recovery through fastboot, make a backup of something small like "Boot" so that it creates the backup path for your device. Place the unzipped/unpacked nandroid backup in the backup folder(Last one in tree, i.e inside the serial number folder), restore the nandroid.
Could you tell me which folder exactly it is that I need to place the nandroid backup in ? And where it is located , I cant seem to find it even though I made a backup of boot

It'll be something along: TWRP/BACKUPS/serialnum*/unzipped-nandroid-folder
* serialnum folder will be the one with your serial number for your device. Check on internal storage OR if you selected external SD you should see it already named "TWRP" and the rest of the tree path. Inside the "unzipped folder" which will typically start with a date(if TWRP did it by default) you'll find things like "boot.img" or "boot.emmc.win" and system files etc.
Just make sure you select the correct path where you made the directory when you restore. If you made it on external SD then you have to select it from external SD when you restore.

[Q] Help With Unrooting HTC One M8

Hey everyone, here's the situation that I am in right now:
I rooted my phone and flashed an Insert Coin ROM but wanted to return it back to complete stock form.
I have a HTC One M8 thats currently locked to T-Mobile. The CID is T-MOB010 and the Build Number is 2.22.401.4
There is TWRP installed on this phone, version 2.8.1.0.
The problem that I am having is this: when I boot into TWRP recovery mode, I go to restore and look for the stock ROM, but it does not show up in the menu. I looked in both internal storage and SD Card storage, but it does not show up in either. I also tried moving the files manually through TWRP, but no luck.
I looked through the phones files using the File Manager App and I see the files are there, but once again I cannot see them when I use TWRP recovery mode.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
read that all...hint 1 : your OFFICIAL build number is NOT 2.22.401 !
Not sure I follow. I checked the build number on my phone to confirm.

That's the ROM base (software build). What you need to know is your firmware version. Boot into your bootloader (turn off phone, then hold power + vol down). What it says under OS is your firmware version.
You can also hook up to your PC/ADB in fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all. What it says under version-main is your firmware.

That is caused by your recovery being out of date. It`is also reported to be caused with TWRP 2.8.1.0. Update to TWRP 2.8.0.3. There is another newer version, but 0.3 seems to be the most stable.
Updated TWRP, still no OS version listed.
In order to explain fully I need to show the process I tried using.
I followed the instructions from this site: http://theunlockr.com/2014/06/08/how-to-unroot-the-htc-one-m8-video/
I boot my phone into recovery mode and select the Restore option in TWRP. I try to find the Nandroid backup that I transferred to my phone but it does not show up. I try looking through both the internal storage and SD card but nothing shows up there either.

Just do an RUU and get back to stock, seeing as you are T-Mobile US yes? T-MOB010 is T-Mobile US...
There you'll get RUU, recoveries, radios, nand backups and OTA's (Which contains firmware already).
I don't get what the problem is?
The problem is when I boot into TWRP Recovery and go to the Restore option, the files are not showing. I checked both internal and SD Card storage but it does not show either. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.3

Try making a backup of just the boot to either internal/sdcard, so that TWRP can create the directory for you. Maybe you didn't unpack it into the right directory.
Make sure you have your devices "serial number" folder and not the one from the person that backed it up(If you're using a downloaded nand). When it's unpacked you have to place just the backup folder into the directory, if they kept it "default" it'll start with the date--time--release for example: 2014-12-06--05-20-22-KTU84P release-keys The highlighted area can ofcourse change depending on the version it has backed up, as will date and time(Logically). Inside that folder you'll have plenty of files like boot.emmc.win, system.ext4.win000 (etc) data.ext4.win etc etc. You need to place that folder inside the TWRP Backups folder.
Like I said, make backup of boot so that TWRP can create the directory for you, then it'll end up something like:
/storage/ext_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserialnumberfolder/2014-12-06--05-20-22-KTU84Prelease-keys/
Thanks for the advice.
I managed to fix the issue using RUU. I don't know why TWRP was acting this way, but my I'm ok now.
Thank you everyone for the help
Here is the method I used just for future references: http://www.android.gs/downgrade-t-mobile-htc-one-m8-to-official-stock-firmware-with-ruu/
