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 ?

Thanks.....will try :good:

And if you are s-off (have my doubts) then you can also install the 3.14.707 ruu. But for that i would like to see a picture of the bootloader !

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 ?

YUP...........doing everything.........
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

[Q] HTC One M8 - Convert Back to Stock [Bell Canada] from GPE

Hi,
I searched and Followed more than one tutorial in xda about How to Go back to Stock [Bell Canada] but i failed in all of them
because i want to send it back and change another phone (before passing 15 days) - [ I guess i am going back to samsung]
But i was not able to finish all the steps because it stop and shows me the RED Triangle and brick my phone many time.
i tried to flash the viper rom but still same problem.
the only one I could flash successfully is the Lollipop 5.0.1 RUU.
can you guys provide me clear and detailed steps and links to download the correct file and revert back my phone to factory state so I can send it back to bell.
My Original cid number is : BM___001
I bought the sunshine app to S-OFF
Her is what the fastboot version command gives me:

Thank you guys and I hop I am in the right section.

Firstly: This is the wrong section for this thread, it should have been in the Q&A section.
Onwards:
Preparations and "tools" needed before attempting the conversion back.
Make sure to download the 1.54.401.5_W_Splash.zip firmware from this thread - Going back to Sense
Download the Bell Mobile nandroid backup from this thread - Stock Backup & OTA Collection There is only only Bell nandroid backup so the 1.55 will have to do. The stock recovery for Bell is also available in the first post.
Make sure to unzip and place the nandroid backup in the correct path on the SD card(If you have one) on your device. If the the path(TWRP) does not exist yet, just flash TWRP and create the path by making a backup of just the boot sector.
Change to SuperCID on your device(Ease of use if for no other reason). fastboot oem writecid 11111111 <<That is 8 1's.
Download latest TWRP from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
Place TWRP, Firmware(1.54.xxx.zip) inside adb/fastboot folder
I take it that that MID(0P6B16000) is the original MID for your device and that you never bothered to change the MID to Google's? If that is so then we have one more step completed.
Ok, your phone should still be in bootloader mode after the CID change, type - fastboot reboot-bootloader just to make sure the CID and everything reads properly.
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU
Type: fastboot flash zip 1.54.401.5-W_Splash.zip <Important, the name needs to match the firmware name you downloaded EXACTLY!!!
After flashing the firmware you'll probably get an error 90, DO NOT reboot the phone, flash the firmware again with the same command fastboot flash zip 1.54.401.5-W_Splash.zip
After it finished and shows success reboot the device with command: fastboot reboot-bootloader
The firmware.zip already flashed a stock recovery for the device so boot into stock recovery - In bootloader select HBOOT then scroll down to recovery and select with Power button(Yes, I'm telling you everything you probably already know or should know).
You'll reach a screen with a phone in the middle, in the phone there'll be a triangle and an exclamation point. Press Volume Up and TAP the power button to enter into stock recovery menu(Should be blue text if I recall).
Scroll down to wipe/factory reset and select with power button. Scroll down to Yes to perform factory reset.
Reboot back into bootloader.
Flash TWRP recovery: fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img - it'll be something like openrecovery-twrp-blah-blah.img <Make sure it has only 1 .img at the end and not 2 !!!
Enter TWRP recovery, go to Wipe and select factory reset.
Go back to TWRP recovery and select "Restore" and select the path/location where you placed your downloaded Bell nandroid.
Flash back stock recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Clear cache: fastboot erase cache
You can now change CID to old Bell CID and do OTA's if you want.
After the converting is finished, in order to get back to stock fully, you'd might have to get rid of any flags that was triggered while "tampering" with the device.
[how to] remove your "tampered" banner
[how to] lock/unlock your bootloader without htcdev(s-off required)
After all is said and done you can then continue towards your bathroom/bedroom, stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself "Who the Hell pays $25 for Sunshine S-OFF just to give the phone back after a couple of days, in order to exchange it for a plastic Samsung?"

Thank you very much , I will start all steps now and hopefully will be ok.
and about the Plastic samsung.. I am still using HTC but still thinking.. the thing is samsung devices are easy to root and flash and so on..
anyway.. Thank you again for your fast answer.. and I will be back after i finish .

I Followed all steps untill step 11 where I have to reboot into the recovery.
here I am trying to reboot it but it stuck into that screen where it says: Entering Recovery... and the HTC logo and under it where there is the red writing .
I waited it for long time but it did not change. i tried to reboot it again but same thing happen.. when i try to reboot the phone it reboot to recovery without entering it properly. and when I touch some places in the screen it vibrate.
Help...
Update:
I solved this by installing an older version of TWRP 2.7.0.2
==> Installed successfully
==> Thank you so much BerndM14

Help!! destroyed my HTC one M8

My HTC one M8 system UI keeps crashing every time i boot up the phone
How i got to this position
For some reason i was not able to download anything to the phone (yes, there was space available), so i decided to factory reset the phone. unfortunately that was no help. From there i decided to use twrp recovery to wipe everything, Me being a smart guy wiped everything, including the system ( and no i did not make a back up anything ). After got a hold of a mirco sd card and flashed a version of a htc one system file i found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994 . I got the phone to boot up ( not booting up from before without a system), but the system UI keeps crashing every time i boot up the phone. Found a thread in xda with the same problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994, and the solution is to get a hold of the stock recovery (not sure if it will work for me). Finally i jump over to an other thead, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376, saying i need to find out my cidnum. I used fast boot to get it and my version of cidnum is BS_US001 which i could not find on the list.
Long story short
Couldnt download on my phone
wiped my system by mistake (no backs)
flash android revolution hd version of kitkat
system ui keeps crashing
think stock recovery will fix it
getting a random cidnum is BS_US001 and am not sure which stock recovery to flash
Please help !!!!
thank you

[Q] Q: Noob Help - Failed system update - unknown volume

Hello,
I'm really sorry for this post, but I know absolutely nothing about how any of this works and I found almost the exact same issue being posted about on the M7 section of the forum.
Ok, I recently picked up an HTX One X from work (unlocked, old and replaced so sold off) for my daughters first phone and it told me the was a system update available for it which I downloaded. I went to run it and it just kept rebooting so I watched it go through the process and then noted it was coming up with the text shown in attachment 003 (starts with ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8, E: Invalid command Argument...).
I had NO idea the phone had been modded in any way, and I've only found out what Clockwork Mod is in the last hour. From what I can tell I need to restore the phone back to its original factory 'image' as it were, without CWM?
Obviously I have no idea how to do this, or where to get a copy of the original image (could it possibly be saved in CWM somewhere, there are loads of features in there :S) Can I just use the featured in CWM to adjust the mounting options?
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be very much appreciated, and again my apologies for posting what I'm sure is a very simple thing for those in the know.
Regards,
David

Check sdcard if there is anything inside "clockworkmod" folder. Download fastboot_files. Extract it to C:\ so the path will be C:\fastboot. Open Command Prompt on PC and connect phone to PC and type:
Code:
cd C:\fastboot
and then type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Paste result here.

There is; a folder called 'backup' and 2 files: .last_install_path and .recovery_version
The backup folder has another dated folder from 2014/08/13 and within that a whole bunch of other files (see attached).

So you can go to Recovery and choose Restore. Then choose this backup to restore. But hard to tell what backup it is If stock rom or a custom rom

Exactly, the recovery and boot image files are both the exact same size and date as well. I have no idea if that recovery file is just a copy of the initial CWM install or the original system file

Yes, recovery and boot backup image are both same size. But it isn't definitelly backup of stock recovery (as somebody had to install custom recovery to make this backup ). Send me this getvar result.
You can also paste info from
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
Or, if it's just rooted stock ROM, you can try to copy this OTA update from data/media/0/ to sdcard, and install it with Recovery (install zip)...

Sorry about the delay in response, lunch. work, than a fight with the mobile. I'm getting a (rather well know as it turns out) waiting for device message, so not getting the required info. Mobile is detected by the PC no problem, and HTC Sync is not installed. (USB Debugging is on).

First of all, copy clockworkmod/backup folder to your PC. Then, I would say you got few options.:
First one: copy 2 files from this backup folder somewhere else (let's create some "working folder") - system.ext4.tar.a & system.ext4.tar.b. Rename them to system.ext4.001 & system.ext4.002. Then highlight the system.ext4.001 with "Insert" key, and then merge those files - I use Total Commander for this on Win (Total Commander - File - Merge Files). Then rename output file to system.ext.tar.
Then extract build.prop from this tar (system-build.prop). Find "ro.product.version". If it says "4.19.707.4" should be Stock nandroid backup. So then you can Restore this backup via CWM Recovery. When recovered, don't boot up, reboot to bootloader and copy boot.img and recovery.img to the fastboot folder on your PC. Connect phone to PC and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
Reboot, done. You are back to stock (with unlocked bootloader, but that's not an issue - you can relock it by
Code:
fastboot oem lock
but that's not necessary)
Second one is to go to this thread, and download 4.19.707.5 ROM (if you wanna really use like it came from manufacturer, you should use odexed one). Install 4.19.707.5 via CWM, then flash boot.img & recovery.img as described above (you can download recovery from link I provided and use boot.img from downloaded ROM).
Done.

Apologies for the rather long delay in response, life got in the way as per usual. Ok, I've followed the steps as per above and everything appeared to go through just fine; it installed the odexed ROM via CWM and then I restarted in bootmode and used fastboot to flash the boot/recovery as required. The only thing different was the fact that I had a message about 'Root Access is missing' with a Yes/No Q and that it can't be undone (I clicked yes). Once restarted the phone did a check for updates (and saw the version I had just put in as an update...) so I let it try to install said update and was then greeted with the exact same message that started this whole thing to start with. Obviously CWM is still installed however I have run another check for updates and it no longer finds any, so I think it now knows it's up-to-date....

Completely erased Android using TWRP "advanced wipe". HOWTO install the OS again?

Completely erased Android using TWRP "advanced wipe". HOWTO install the OS again?
Hi
As the title says I completely erased my phone. The file structure seems to be there still from a fairly old ARHD 4.4.4 install. I did a Nandroid before doing this and it is backed up on my computer. Because it is an older (KK) ROM I'm on TWRP 2.8.1.0. I've tried to do
1 ADB pushed a version of that over to the device and tried to install with TWRP but it wouldn't install.
2 an ADB sideload of the latest GPE ("blues") by lyapota, but it didn't install. Does this take a super long time, as I'm trying it a second time. First time I cancelled after about 10 mins of no activity.
So, I'm in a bit deep here. At this point I'm even afraid to unplug the phone from the computer as I fear I'll never get it to boot again. Can I still access the phone by turning it on via booting into download mode/recovery?
If generous, can you walk me through step by step? Otherwise, is there a good guide that will step by step me through the process? A 2014 version of this thread referred the poor guy to the FAQ, but it doesn't cover this case.

If you can get/boot to recovery, just enable mtp in mount menu then you can browse your storage on PC.
Transfer your backup to restore or transfer a custom rom zip and install. But most custom rom work on lollipop and marshmallow firmware. As you said yours is a kitkat, there will be problem.
Or while on fastboot/bootloader see what is the hboot no. and the OS no or better to run command fastboot getvar all and post here the result without serial & imei no.

Should I start looking for a stock kitkat ROM or RUU?
Is there a thread you know of, or a good google search term I can start my learning on?
And most importantly, will anything I do ever eliminate my s-off?

That's a very old firmware that you have there.
It is 1.54.709.12 where the current one is 6.20.709.2; means you already missed 5 or 6 updates.
You can read post #1 on how-to, get the 1.54.709.12 backup on post #2 and the 1.54.709.12 stock recovery.img on post #4 then do multiple OTAs to the latest 6.20.709.2
See my thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Noted that you have a S-Off device ... do you have a good reason why the device is S-Off ? Let say the reason was you wanted to make it EU WWE Intl GSM ... then there is another approach to this :
1. You need to change the MID from 0P6B11000 to 0P6B10000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
2. You install EU WWE Intl GSM RUU zip 6.12.401.4

Sounds OK, will that install a less effective radio, or are radios not affected? I have S-off for exactly this kind of this instance, but i guess it could be construed as the cause too.... The main reason is getting bloat off the ROM though.

Should be fine. As far as I can remember, both TWN and EU have same radio.
The different is slightly on rcdata... but that another story, won't affect anything at where you are now.
Being a S-Off device you can change the OS version at any time that like.

Weird, I downloaded minimal adb fastboot, and I can fastboot devices and get my serial, but adb devices returns device null. Am I missing something? The phone is in bootloader mode. Should I be in TWRP?

I got adb devices by going into TWRP, but now I do adb shell and it returns ~ # <[6n I'm guessing that means I need to be a super user...how? Every time I reboot TWRP it asks me if I want SU, but the process hangs.

Can the HTC utility restore a phone in this state, and not lose s-off? I put the external SD in the phone, with the nandroid I did today, and am trying to transfer it into the bare file system, where should I put it. Why can't TWRP just see the nandroid on the external? WIll the nandroid be of any value to me at this point?
When I try to do this:
6(b). For those with no OS, connect device to PC. In TWRP recovery go to mount, make sure MTP is enabled.
Then you can open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
7. Transfer the extracted x.xx.xxx.x folder (not x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device, so it looks like this :
TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./x.xx.xxx.x
it tells me "cannot copy system.ext4.win000" "it's file size is larger than the device limit"
So do I need to re partition somehow? How would I do that? How can I find, and post, what the filesystem layout is now if more info is needed?
I have the TWRP backup on the external SD, but restore won't see it either.
Or what about the Hasson2000 toolkit to push an RUU to it?

Sorry guys, I still need help. I try to do adb shell, but can't seem to get root (su) . Because of this I am afraid of moving forward. I have changed my CID to GOOGL001 using HASOON2000's toolkit as I've decided I might as well go full goog since I'm at this point. I think my MID 0P6B11000 is OK, as it's mentioned in graffixnyc/Enewman17's GPE thread, correct? I've downloaded the MM H11 and it's waiting, but I'm afraid to move forward with the root problem better explained in the post above. Am I overly worried?

No .. while in TWRP you just run adb shell, no need SU because while in TWRP it's already rooted ..
so
adb shell
~ # <[6n
then paste in the code to change MID then type exit, exit
If you want to run the EU WWE RUU that I linked above, you also need to change the CID .. I suggest a SuperCID 11111111 then later you can run anything that you like as long has you have the correct MID for the RUU that you're going to install.
Now .. since you changed the CID to Google CID and intended to install a GPE RUU .. read through the thread that you linked .. can't help much .. maybe someone else will help you for the GPE conversion.
Still I suggest, instead of running a Google CID ... change it to SuperCID so you don't have to every time change the CID when you decide to run other RUU.
EDIT :
I just remember something .. there is a RUU zip for Taiwan HTC__621 that you can use (but you need to put back the CID to HTC__621 (the original CID) or make it SuperCID 11111111
The steps are the same as I posted before. You need to use htc_fastboot.exe and follow those fastboot commands to install a RUU zip.
Or if you have a microSD card, you can rename the RUU zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on your microsd. On fastboot, select hboot .. it will scan the 0P6BIMG.zip and ask whether you want to update, volume up to update. Once completed, remove this 0P6BIMG.zip from your microsd.
Later you can do all the OTA to the latest.
Download 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_SECURITY_hTC_Asia_TW_1.54.709.4_R_Radio_1.15.2133156.UA14G_20.18n.4096.05_release_358414_signed_2_4.zip here : http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8

Well as I said above I decided to try the full GPE RUU, so I followed these instructions. I used hasoon2000's toolkit to change the CID, my MID was compatible with the GPE. I then fastboot bootloader and:
Method 1
*ADB / Fastboot*
First, make sure you have the path to adb and fastboot setup in your system environment variables
When you open a command prompt, open it in the folder the zip is in. Hold shift, Left Mouse click, open command prompt here.
1. Rename the RUU.zip to something short and easy like RUU.zip
2. adb reboot bootloader "press enter" Wait till phone reboots into fastboot
3. fastboot oem rebootRUU "press enter" Wait till the phone is in RUU mode (black screen with HTC logo)
4. fastboot flash zip RUU.zip "press enter"
*You will get the following message: FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
*RUU mode will reboot,
*Now run the same command again,
5. fastboot flash zip RUU.zip "press enter"
6. fastboot reboot-bootloader "press enter"
7. Select hboot, Do a factory reset in recovery. To enter the recovery menu when greeted by the Android with an exclamation, Hold Power button and click Volume UP.
8. Done, reboot system.
It took a long time for the ROM to install, but I was happy to see the Google splash screen rolling along.
Overall a bit scary as I worried about potential partition issues, but I could see the naked filesystem poking around in TWRP, and knew it wasn't a brick because I got the HTC splash screen and TWRP. I'm not totally in love with the GPE right now, as I miss the Nova launcher layout (fixable, installing now), and I can't toggle data with a homescreen widget (unfixable, now 3 clicks with dropdown...first world problems!!). Bottom line, be careful with what you wipe in TWRP! Thanks to you ckpv too!
