[Q] Stock Nandroid Backup Help

Hi I have an HTC One M8 from Canada locked to Wind Mobile and I am having trouble finding a stock backup and stock rom for it online. If anyone can help or refer me to somewhere that would be appreciated.

Which software version ? Post your fastboot getvar all (minus serial no. & imei no.)
I may have them.

After restore, do OTA

I know this thread is almost a month old, but I figured I'd post here since I found it through Google.
I have the same story as AbdulJohn (Canadian WIND htc One with no stock backup) and I was wondering if anybody could help.
My software version is 3.34.1500.4

[Q] Wi-Fi Disabled After Unrooting

Hi,
I have a HTC One M8 and I believe it is the international version (bought in Australia).
I wanted to return it to stock before selling, and it seemed to go well until I did a software update. After the update I cannot turn Wi-Fi on. The on/off switch is permanently greyed out.
I have a feeling it was because I could not match my version-main when picking the backup file. My CID is TELST001 and my version-main is 3.32.something (I don't have my computer on me).
However there was only one option to pick from which was something like 1.12
Any ideas?
Thanks, Mitch.

You can't use that very low version of backup for hboot 3.16.0000 when you have hboot 3.19.0000
The lowest you can go is one version below that is 2.23.841.1 that is for hboot 3.18.0000
Unfortunately I don't see any of Australian backup shared on XDA other than 1.xx
I have only OPTUS backup for all versions but not TELSTRA ... maybe if I have time I'll make some for TELSTRA this weekend.

Thanks for the reply.
Is there any way I could downgrade the android version such that I can use the very low version that is available for my Telstra HTC?

Not possible without S-Off.
Furthermore there's nothing much being shared for Telstra.

Would my best bet be to root the device again?
I found a "Stock Telstra WWE (Australia) ROM 2.24.841.1". Would this help? I can't link it yet.
Cheers.

If that's for M8 then that's the right one.
Yes you need custom recovery to restore backup
EDIT:
Just checked, that's for M7 not M8 don't use it.
I'll try to find time to make a backup for you.
Check back tomorrow
Meantime.. can you post your fastboot getvar all (minus serial no. & imei no.)
I need to make sure I make a right backup for your device version

Thank you, I really appreciate your assistance.
Is there anything I can do tonight that will be on the right track to fixing it? I have a buyer for the phone lined up and he wants it asap.

Nothing much to do now. Just flash TWRP 2.8.3.0 because you need it to restore backup

I'm having trouble flashing TWRP because it has changes since I last did it. Android Studio has come in?
Anyway I installed Android Studio but it threw an error "Failed to install Intel HAXM".
Haven't found a solution to this, and hence I cannot run Android Studio and thus cannot flash TWRP.
Or is there a simpler way to flash TWRP I am overlooking?
Thanks again.

Android Studio ? Intel HAXM ? What are those ?
Download TWRP 2.8.3.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
Put the downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m8.img in the same folder that you have fasboot.exe
(You have that right ? You did run fastboot getvar all before)
Put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode
Run command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m8.img

Android Studio is the package online when you wanna get the SDK, Google have hidden the normal SDK package!
OP, you want this is you need to update adb/fastboot - http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r24.0.2-windows.exe

Ok .. thanks for info .. never use full SDK so don't know much about that

Okay all good, TWRP is flashed.
Haven't played with this stuff for a while so I am pretty rusty as you can see.
Cheers.
EDIT:
So theoretically all I need to do is restore from a GOOD backup which you are kindly working on creating?
Once I restore from that, should I re-lock bootloader and remove TWRP? Then do OTA updates to get it up to date software wise?

Yes but no need to relock bootloader but it's your choice. If you do the bootloader will show RELOCKED instead of LOCKED. Unfortunately there is no update for TELSTRA currently. The last one as at today is 3.32.841.9

Gotcha.
Okay, well whatever the latest version is works for me. Or will updating the version conflict with the backup file you are going to share?

5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.
6. Reboot, connect device to PC then open Internal Storage, TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./
7. Transfer the extracted 3.32.841.9 folder (not 3.32.841.9_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device
TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./3.32.841.9
8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)
9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore

[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)...

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....

HTC M8 stuck in fastboot only showing RUU

Ok this is what happened.
I had the rom Android Revolution installed on my HTC M8.
Today I installed the new ROM Revolution, Android 6.0, but when I could not turn on wifi.
After searching in google found that its a MUST to update your firmware, which I have subsequently done true the PC with mini-sdk. That did not work, and now I'm stuck in fastboot. He won't let me into recovery anymore, if i chose it, he trows me back to fastboot menu

After searching in google found that its a MUST to update your firmware, which I have subsequently done true the PC with mini-sdk. That did not work, and now I'm stuck in fastboot.

What exactly did you try to flash (full file name) and where did you get it from?
Any error messages when you tried to flash the firmware, or other outputs?

Yes, it would be signature verify fail. Its a hacked firmware (with stock recovery replaced with TWRP). You can't flash this with s-on. You can only flash signed firmware with s-on; and once its hacked, its no longer signed.
Additionally, its not the right version number for your CID. It would need to have "161" in the place of "401".
Your best bet is probably to return to full stock nandroid 2.22.161.6 and stock recovery 2.22.161.6, than OTA up to LP or MM. Instructions and required files here:

You need to unlock the bootloader again, in order to flash custom recovery.

Big relief i am in recovery again!
Actually back in my Android Revolution Rom , but without WIFI
Don't want to do anyting wrong again right now.
So next thing to do is folow the steps from your posted link #5?
Or do i have to do other things now?

You have to follow all the steps through Step 14.
Again, the goal is to return to full stock nandroid 2.22.161.6 and stock recovery 2.22.161.6, than OTA up to LP or MM

Can't get true this step:
6(a). Reboot, connect device to PC then
open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
open SD Card - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to MicroSD)
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)
If i make a backup from Boot he puts is in internal store TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ but when i copy the unzip files he stops, too big.
solution might be: Are you mounting the MTP in recovery mode ? It won't work this way.
You need to transfer them on a working OS (I mean you have to be on homescreen)
Try use an external sdcard.
I have put an external sdcard inside, i can put the files on the card
But then the files aren't located at the TWRP/BACKUP map.
What to do?

when you select boot to backup, you can select which storage the backup goes to .. select microSD instead of internal (read all menu in the backup section on TWRP)
then you can use a card reader to mount your microsd to PC and transfer the extracted contents of the backup zip to the same folder that you made with the boot backup and replace all files when PC ask you.

All done, back in stock rom, thank you very much!!
10. In reboot menu select bootloader (when TWRP asks whether you want to root your device, select do not install)
I choose in this step do not install, but he rebooted me direct into the stock rom.
Tried some things to get into the bootloader again, volume down and power, cmd with adb fastboot, but nothing really worked.
What's the reason i can't get back to bootloader, and how do i get step 11 fixed and flash stock recovery?

To go to bootloader when on OS running ... press power button and select restart. When the screen turn black .. hold volume down button .. that will take you to hboot screen, press power once will get you to fastboot/bootloader
To go to bootloader when on OS running ... you need to enable USB debugging in settings - Developer options. To enable Developer options, go to settings - about - software information - more - click build number until the developer options is enabled.
Once usb debugging is enabled, you can run command adb reboot bootloader to get to fastboot/bootloader

It works, did the last step:
11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery x.xxx.xx.x_recovery.img
but now can't entering recovery anymore, just showing a red trangle with an exclamation mark? And in some minutes he boots to OS.
Have to do step 1 again? Maybe go to a higher version? I want OTA to MM 6.0

You don't need to get into recovery after you installed stock recovery.
what you need to do ... boot to OS .. go to settings - about - software update - check for update, download and click install let the system do its stuff to update. After reboot, repeat the checking & install process.
And you need to do the checking & install, multiple times to update :
2.22.161.6 --> 4.19.161.2 --> 4.19.161.3 --> 6.12.161.4 --> done.

Can't unlock network despite having code!

I bought a second hand HTC ONE M8 recently. It was previously locked to a Swedish Carrier (called "3").
When I insert a SIM card from another carrier, a window pops up right after I enter the PIN code, asking me to type in a code to unlock the network.
The code I have, but whenever I type it in and hit "unlock", the phone gets stuck at "requesting network code. Very much like in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791553
The phone has a Play Edition ROM, which is not the original. Some say that a solution is to revert back to stock ROM, but I'm not sure how.
Anyone has any other ideas? Google searches yield surprisingly few good results.

Yeah .. usually you need to revert back to non-rooted stock then only you can use the unlock code.
Post fastboot getvar all result (without serial & imei no.) then we'll see the next step to take.

Thank you for answering.
I tried the link but I never managed to get HTC Sync Manager to recognize the phone.
fastboot getvar all only yields "waiting for device". What could be wrong? I've tried multiple ways of installing drivers manually, but to no avail.

You need to put the device on bootloader/fastboot mode to run fastboot command.
Read again the link given, you're supposed to uninstall htc sync manager and also you need to install adb/fastboot

This will involve many steps as I don't see any RUU for this carrier ...
1. You need to install 6.13.771.4 firmware.zip
Download the fw_6.13.771.4.zip from post #5 in my backup thread and read how to install the firmware. You can skip the relock bootloader part as you have a S-Off device.
Leave it unlocked .. can you confirm current status .. the booloader is unlocked or locked or relocked ?
2. Install TWRP the latest version 3.0.2-0 ... link to download on post #1 in same thread
3. Restore 6.13.771.4 backup that you can download on post #3 - read how-to on post #1
4. run the unlock code

I can confirm it is unlocked. I started following the steps in post #1, but can't seem to complete step 5. I try to make a backup of the boot, but when I do, several red errors in the log appears. All of them starts with
Failed to/Unable to mount '/cache, /data, /carrier (invalid argument).
What might cause these errors?

Forgot to write more on item 2.
Install TWRP the latest version 3.0.2-0 ... link to download on post #1 in same thread
Because you're converting back to Sense from GPE ... you need to do these before you can proceed to item 3.
In TWRP - select wipe - Format data - type yes
Once it is done doing its stuff, use back button select reboot - recovery
Now you can proceed item 3.

That worked fine.
Now I'm stuck at number 9 instead. When I press "Restore" in the TWRP menu, I don't have anything to select.
Also, what looks more right?

or

Doesn't seem to make a difference anyway though.

The second one but without \0\
Should read Computer\HTC One_M8\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\SH45FWM04430\6.13.771.4
Try redo the backup of boot ... then it will write correct location Computer\HTC One_M8\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\SH45FWM04430\xxxxxxxxx
After redo the backup ... select Restore and check whether TWRP can see the folder that you backup. If yes, now you have correct location
Instead of transferring the 6.13.771.4 folder, you also can copy the contents of the 6.13.771.4 folder (there should be 8 items) to Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\SH45FWM04430\xxxxxxxxx and replace the contents when asked by windows
