Hi all, today the OTA update was available for my country so I decided to restore a nandroid backup and flash a stock firmware to get OTA, but after update my firmware from 2.xx to 3.xx and after form 3.xx to android lollipop, my phone is stucked on the boot image and even if I reboot it nothing happening... I'm thinking that when I restored the nandroid backup I didn't wipe nothing.. What can I do now??:crying::crying:
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Hiya people!
Would it be pointless in installing the latest RUU, relocking and installning, then go back to unlocking the phone and restoring your latest nandroid backup that is based on a RUU earlier than the latest one?
I'm thinking that you're getting the new radio, hboot and such but lose the ROM specific updates, right?
Or, since our beloved developers are working so hard and pretty much all the time, should one just wait for the ROM you're using to get updated until you do install this specific RUU?
I hope that this made sense..

Hello Guys,
i got a little problem since i lost my original nandroid backup from my original Swisscom 1.28 rom and as some people know there are only RUUs for 1.26 available for the vodafone ch-de rom.
Since i cannot install the original 1.26 Ruu because my last OTA update was the 1.28 (and we know we cannot downgrade our ROMs till we get s-off) i am sowhat jailed to custom ROMs know.
Since our Provider hast released the new OTA updates (1.29)and i have no chance to go back to original Swisscom ROM, i wanted to ask if any guys from switzerland can provide me nandroid backup of an original Swisscom RUU with the version 1.28 or higher.
i am willing to pay 10€ also for this backup as a little thanks. If u have some private SMS or whatever on this nandroid, then i can promise you that i will direktly do an factory reset and delete all ur data. Or maybe there is someone with a fresh nandroid backup that could help me out of my misere.
Thx in Advance

I'm not sure if it's possible, best to downgrade your custom rom to a lower base.
Then flash stock recovery, then relock bootloader before running an ruu.
But I am still unsure cause updated hboot would again be some hindrance.
All the best to findinf your solution. Cheers!

hey m8, this is sadly not possible because the firmware (like the hboot and the radio) would be still the same as the custom roms cant override them at all.
So i am stuck on custom roms and i would be so thankful to that person wo could help me out with a swiss nandroid backup
There's an one x tool for root to rom and vice versa although you might end up on a different stock.
Its worth a shot.
But I have to ask, why would want to revert to stock? Just asking.

To obtain the official ota updates and to update to the official 1.29 for example. All those custom roms are somewhat useless if its about updating firmware, drivers and radios foe example as the dont have permission to install those things at all. If u do ota u are sure about installing all those new teg ra drivers nd the like. Know what i mean thats why i want to go back to official rom and do all those new ota updates, after that i gonna go back to custom via nandroid and i am sure that i have all the newest drivers.
i would like tp push again as i am still looking for a nandroid backup
Hey guys, ill raise the reward to 30 swiss francs if anyone could provide me with a nandroid backup that matches my requirements from post one. I really need this guys..
Did you found a backup? Same problem here... :crying:
have you tried contacting your provider to see if they can provide the ruu? now they've released it ota surely they will have the ruu as well.

Hello there, although Im not really a noob when it comes to flashing phones, I have rooted etc this phone but got a problem.....
If i flash a rom with 2.22.401.5 and similar 2.22 roms, they flash correctly, but on bootup, take about 5 minutes to boot into phone, so at the moment, im using 1.54.401.10 earlier version of insert coin rom, I got no idea how to flash the firmware to upgrade it, so need your help!!!!!
by the way, i am unable to s-off with firewater because my phone been patched, it says
thank you any help received
Two method as option :
1. Restore the stock backup and do OTA update to 4.4.3 then you can flash 4.4.3 sense based ROM.
2. When your target is to flash a custom ROM based on 4.4.3; you don't really need all those going back to stock and apply OTA stuff.
What you need is flash the untouched 4.4.3 firmware of your device version then install ROM
So ... what is your device current firmware (not software version) ?
To flash an untouched firmware, you don't need S-Off
im on 4.4.2 and my cid thing is ORANG001 , baseban 1.17.2133156 etc, build number 1.54.401 cl325784 release keys
Your build number is not 1.54.401 that's the custom rom talking. Your official build number is different. Check my thread and look for the cid and check the accompanied main number
its orang001 1.54.61.5
Yeah.....correct.
but dunno what to do next lol

ckpv5 already told you what to do next. Restore a backup for your device and do the OTA to 4.4.3
COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Head over to Mr Hofs thread linked above in the section for stock backups there is ORANG001 1.54.61.5 both TWRP and Philz version for whichever you prefer to use.
Download the backup and unpack the .zip file into the backup directory on your device, this information you can find in post 2 on the same thread(Collection of stock backups...) Restore your backup.
Flash the stock recovery, this too you can find in post 1 in the recovery section 1.54.61.5. Flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img The command/info is also on post 1 in same thread.
Reboot the device once back to stock, OTA notification will appear, do the OTA and you're set :good:
Now that's what i call.......

Hello guys,does anyone have a 3.29.166.9 twrp backup? Or a m8 with cid-vodap110 so he or she can make a fresh nandroid backup so i can go back to stock. I tried x.x.161.x backups but they don't work with cid-vodap110. Vodap110 is specific cid for Swisscom ch. Thanks in advance
No one has it?
Why don't you contact the other guy that already updated to 4.xx.166.x
Ask him for system part only. Then you can use it to update by flashing firmware first.
(I have the firmware but no backup)
Are you running a rooted/modified stock ROM now ? If yes, you can backup that and upload for me.. I will try to fix the error.
If you're running a custom ROM, you can flash the updated firmware and then install a lollipop custom ROM ... this can be done too.

I'm running a 4.16.401.10 stock firmware,and it works great even if it's not for my cid,but i would like to have official ota and for that i need stock firmware. I contacted many users with .166 firmwares but no one want's to make a backup :/
You don't run 4.16.401.10 stock firmware but you run a stock 4.16.410.10 ROM.
You can flash your stock firmware 4.19.166.2 then run 4.16.401.10 .. at least you can have a lollipop firmware running a lollipop software.

Yes,you are right i just restored a nandroid backup that i found here on xda. My firmware is probably 3.29.166.9 because when i enter bootloader is says OS-3.29.166.9
Need to totally factory start my HTC ONE M8
Hi guys, i really hope you can help me here.
I have a HTC ONE M8. It is a UK version on EE carrier. the CID is ORANG001. in fast boot it is blank next to OS- (don't know if tyhat matters at this point) I have S-Off through SUNSHINE. I have no oringinal back up. I have tried flashing the recovery found in my OTA updtate and several others that say they should work in various other threads, all through ADB Fastboot says it sends and writes ok but has no effect.
I have unrooted, factory booted, and am at the end of my tether. EE will not replace the handset if it is tampered and i really dont want to have to pay for a totally new one.
I have a Htc One M8 ; s-off, hboot 3.16, running 4.4.2. CID is Roger001, unlocked boot
Problem I have is I'm trying to restore the phone to stock because I want to do OTA updates. I followed the guide to return Canadian HTC1m8 to stock - downloaded the nandroid backup, restored it, flashed a stock image through fastboot;
However, now if I try a OTA it just reboots my phone and normally stalls out on the HTC screen. Nothing gets updated . If i try a factory reset, same thing, and it won't boot into bootloader until I wait a while then restart it. My data won't work anymore and TWRP recovery has disappeared. I think my issue is i flashed the wrong recovery .img, I'm a fairly noob. Checked all the related links and can't figure it out.
Any help would be amazing.
Use an ruu For your phone to update your hboot and make your you flash to recovery partition for twrp

I can't find an ruu that would work, there doesn't seem to be one for rogers...I dunno if any US carriers would work?

I got an update to work, I think I had the wrong stock installed so it wouldn't work properly. Only thing now is my data isn't working, any assistance with that that could be??
Instead of trouble shooting, I would just flash this TWRP backup tested to work on Rogers M8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58611288
See end of 1st post in above link.
It is already in lollipop. No OTA update needed.
Use latest TWRP recovery, see 2nd post in above link.
