I really need to get a VODAP001 UK RUU or something for me to get back to a stock state to send my m8 to htc for repair under warranty.
I am s-off with ARHD on firmware 4.16.401.10
I need it so it will be excepted for warranty. please help i am sending it away this thursday!
Or if someone could explain to me how to get it into a stock state so htc don't refuse it for a fix of my dodgy vibrate motor.
I understand how to flash roms, firmware, reset tampered etc I just need someone to tell me what to flash to get it back to a Vodafone m8 here in the UK!

Hi Eddy, I have been in your RUU thread and have read a lot, but cant see a VODAP001 for UK in the thread. I have spoken to a guy with VODAP001 but based on german rom.
Is there a way round this as I am s-off, surely If I find the right bits I can get to a stock state for a warranty repair? I'm getting nervous I wont be able to restore back to a factory state before the courier comes on thursday
These should do the job...
TWRP 3.29.161.9 Nandroid backup : https://mega.co.nz/#!bFNHGIxQ!PcbrsW...D6Q_BvrrwrWtGg (Flash this first in TWRP)
Untouched 3.29.161.9 Firmware : https://mega.co.nz/#!6BUBXCDA!k17OO6...uxG8DJbeVgxkY8 (Flash this second in RUU mode)
Although they apparently need decrypting. See my note in the backup thread after yours

Ok Eddy, thanks mate, Im just going to have to go for it aren't i!
So can I just run through and confirm with you:
Change CID back to VODAP001.
flash the nandroid backup in restore in twrp
flash the firmware in fastboot ruu...
Then look up on forum to change back to 'Locked'
Is this it have I missed any steps? I will give a go tonight and let you know, otherwise Im going to have to try and cancel this htc warrants fix as they will probably refuse and charge me!
I do have a friend sat next to me at work, who has an unrooted stock Vodafone m8, is there anyway he can create a RUU for me to apply to my phone?! - just another option I was thinking....
RUU - no. Backup - yes

no he doesn't need a root - if he will root then the backup will not be worth much
you can put device in fastboot - start TWRP - WITHOUT flashing - and do NANDROID backup then
it would make untouched Nandroid backup

how do you get into twrp i thought you need to be root to change recovery?
If the bootloader is unlocked you can just boot into TWRP by using fastboot boot recovery.img as opposed to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. This wa it'll just temporarily load TWRP and allow you to back the phone up
Hi EddyOS, my apologies for being slow on the uptake but please can you help as I need to restore my M8 back to stock and I require the software in your previous reply. Please can you help with the decryption key? Your help would be gratefully received. Thanks.

So to return to stock, both these files should be flashed through TWRP, then relock the Bootloader?

Before I give a proper guide for newbie ... please post your fastboot getvar all result (minus serial no. & imei no.)
I need to make sure my guide is correct for your device version.
Also tell me why you need to relock bootloader ? If it is to update to the latest, no need to relock bootloader

While ckpv5 is right about getting your phone details I can add that to see the backup in recovery the files need to be in a folder with your phone serial number as the title in 'Backups'. To find the correct name of the folder first make a backup of your current rom in recovery. This will create a folder with the correct title then you can copy in the files from the backup you want to restore.
After doing that you should be able to see the backup you want to restore.

Hi all,
I was on stock 1.26 then unlocked rooted and installed CWM.
I made a backup with cwm, and then installed CM9. I'm going to return my One X and want to restore the backup. My question now is, do I need and boot.img first before I can restore my backup? During the backup process CWM said 'backing up boot image..' So will it restore it as well?
Thanks in advance....

No just restore your backup, flash stock recovery and then re-lock bootloader.
Help (if anyone can)
Hi, noob here (registration wise) been lurking for a year of so now.
First up I want to say I am not totally new to everything, I have rooted, flashed all sorts of roms etc on other models but my issue is with returning to stock on an HTC One X. I am hoping either someone can help me or at least tell me no one can at the moment.
I have done a number of searches and tried various things none of which have worked I am currently romless (no os installed when checked last on twrp) however since then I have also tried flashing a rom.zip so no longer have twrp at the moment but hopefully can still install it as I can get into fastboot.
My device is on Voda UK so currently it doesnt have an ruu that I can find the only thing I found was this a 3.14.161.27 rom zip which I tried flashing but while it flashed it just stays on the htc screen (it seems quite small and didnt have a system image in so wasnt sure if it was even complete)
My question is can I do anything with a nandroid backup if I can find one to get a uk stock even if its not Vodafone (or does it have to be Voda) if so can anyone point me to a dl? if not can anyone suggest anything to try or am I going to have to try and flash a custom rom again and not be on stock until a ruu is made if one is.
Thanks in advance for any guidance

Hi,
Version-main is 3.14.161.27 (that zip i tried earlier was meant to be the latest files) cid is vodap001
Oke so the zip is a nandroid backup ? Of so, you need to unpack it !
Check here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
It has your nandroid backup, in the OP you also get a description where to put it on the sdcard !
With the recovery i sent you, you can mount the sdcard as a mass storage device and copy it over

so does it not matter that the version number of a nandroid backup is lower than my version main? (sorry for the question this nandroid backups are the one part of this side of thing I am not familiar with)

ok thanks I just looked at the initial post and saw vodap001 was lower than my version (hence why my question) but then searched the thread and saw the vodap102 can be used on mine and that is the same version.
Yes it should be compatible......but you can also restore a lower matching version and restore the stock recovery afterwards and update to JB again !
If you want to be 100% sure it works , go for option 2 .... Restore the lower one and update again

in fastboot type fastboot getvar all and delete serial number and imei, post your result here, and someone with more knowledge will give you link to ruu which will return your phone to stock rom/kernel/recovery ,when you download ruu you will just need tu type in fastboot fastboot oem lock and run ruu with admin rights.

Do this :
Restore a 3.20.401 nand and flash back the 3.20 stock recovery. Then ota up again via official ota. AFTER you did the ota you can relock the bootloader.
The 3.20 nand does not have be your cid. Just pick one !

Man just download other nand with 4.18.401.2 base have working now I checked with sure have one working no need to to search only for your CID the base is important
Yes thant but he wants to relock the bootloader. Because he wants to sell it. Relocking on a different cids nand is not possible !
So he needs 1 lower nand and do at least 1 ota to pull the cid right !

This is something new for me why it is not possible to relock the bootloader you have the same base you don't backup CID or HBOOT you backup system and data. But if it is true I will know for future. Thanks Mr Hofs
When he restores a different cids nand and relocks the bootloader the phone boots only to the bootloader with a warning.
But after 1 official update with an unlocked bootloader the cid will be correct and the bootloader can be relocked.

Hey there
I followed the instructions to the word but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work in the end.
It eventually told me [Remember the golden rule, NEVER TAKE an OTA? OF course you don't. ***device patched by HTC, you are out of lock****]
Does that mean I can NEVER get S-OFF or does it mean I can use a RUU and restore everything to when I just bought it the phone and then try again?
Thanks.
Well if you failed and then the error told you that whatever you do you can't get s-off that way then you have to pay $25 and use the sunshine method. U just went through this last night.

I had the same error because (as it is said) i took an ota. The error means that there is no more exploit for it to work properly. So the only way left is Sunshine for 25$. But there you have only to pay when it works for 100%.
Check out this thread. Of course it worked with hong kong version .708. and nobody confirmed if it works with other versions.

I looked at the thread and found the steps to be quite unnecessary. All you need to do is use TWRP in order to restore system, data, recovery, and boot (you'll see all those under Advanced Options before restoring) and then you'd follow Firewater's guide (posted on his website) in order to go S-OFF. It was fool-proof and quite quick after I restored the stock Nandroid.

Hey it's ok! No, you downloaded a Nandroid ZIP file which you're supposed to extract into the proper location of TWRP backups, which is either SD Card > TWRP > Backups or Root/data/media/TWRP/backups. When you open the Nandroid ZIP, you'll find a folder inside, which is what is supposed to be copied to the proper TWRP directory. After you're done with that, you go to TWRP > Restore and you'll supposedly find it listed and then you tap on it, choose Advanced Options, check YES on everything, and then perform the Restore function.
By the way, I just reread Firewater's instructions and it says that you have to root the stock ROM if it's not rooted and also have an unlocked bootloader (so don't relock it). The instructions are here: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/

I have an international or chinese model (HTC_621) and tried to install a firmware using Vomers guide but when I type adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp it just hangs so I cant install a firmware as Im not S off.
Unfortunately I didn't do any back up
Am I going about this the right way? I just want to get my phone back to stock.
I will appreciate any help, thanks

COLLECTION of Stock backup's
There's a nandroid backup for your CID in that thread.
Your post though... what the heck does TWRP have to do with getting S-OFF? So you pushed a command it hung for a bit and you decided to do a full wipe instead to cut down the hanging time? What does A have to do with B

Sorry I mean I wiped it with TWRP, later realising I need to have s off to flash a rom I tried firewater but I just get the hang, I assume I need s off for a nandroid backuo?
Thanks for your help.

You don't need S-OFF to flash a ROM.
You also don't need S-OFF to restore a nandroid backup.
The only thing you need to flash a custom ROM is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, that's it.
You'll need S-OFF for other things like making changes to the HBOOT(Fixing tampered flag) downgrading firmware, converting to other devices(Changing of MIDs and for GPE changing of partition sizes) etc. For normal custom ROMS(Viper, ARHD etc) just flash it through custom recovery.

Oh thats good news, I have created a backup folder on the SD card using TWRP do I just choose one of those nandroid backups from the link you posted(for htc_621) put it in the backup folder then use TWRP to restore it?
Do I need to check the md5?
I really appreciate your help, thanks:good:

Hi,
I have been reading a lot of posts to find the stock recovery version for my HTC One M8. My CID is T-MOB003 and I have the stock ROM (Software nr. x.xx.114.x)still running but I can't find my stock recovery - must have misplaced it after the back-up - so I can do the update to Android 5.0. I have already looked here for it but no solution.
Is there anyone who can help me with a stock recovery for my device?
Greetings,
JHS

when you get prompted for the ota you download it but NOT install it. take the ota.zip from the internal memory and take out the firmware.zip, in that zip is the recovery.img.
flash that recovery.img and then perform the ota.....done :good:

Damn that was the help I needed!! Really great gonna try this when I get home!
After searching for months myself, I came to the conclusion that nobody has ever made a backup of their original recovery. (the T-MOB003 that is)
Since I had the same problem, and I know it sounds like bull**** but you need to get s-off to get firmware updates since you do not have the original recovery anymore.
The only way of fixing this that I know is theroot.ninja (SunShine S-Off Tool)
Yes it does costs some money, but you'll be happy with it for years.
It changes your CID to 111111 so you can flash whatever firmware you want and then you should be good to go!

No need at all for all of that. The method described above to get the stock recovery works flawlessly, if of course the system is 100% stock too !
And as additional info :
My experience on the one x was that all recoveries starting with the same base number are the same

As usual... when it comes to T-MOB003, people so secretive to write full version.
They prefer x.xx.114.x ... and until today there is no backup for x.xx.114.x on the backup thread

Must say I didn't do it intentionally but saw most people do it so followed it. But you mean an nandroid back-up specific? I can post the recovery image if anyone is interested.

Recovery is not a problem .. simply extract out from OTA zip before proceed with OTA installation.
Nandroid backup is a problem especially the lower version 1.57.114.2 for hboot 3.16.00000 and 2.23.114.3 for hboot 3.18.0000 - many users are stuck at these two versions because no one willing to share them.
