[Q] Go back to the start

Hi everyone
I just have a few questions that I hope someone can answer.
So I purchased my Nexus second hand and It has a new rom flashed onto it.
When I boot up the phone I get a picture of a pink unicorn.
I also Nova launcher installed aswell.
While I am getting used to the phone, I'm just not sure what he has done.
Has he rooted the phone ect....
Is there a way I can go back to the start as if it was taken out of the box?
And then work on it myself..
At this stage I have messages and pictures on the phone..
Can and how do I back these up?
Thanks in advance

GSM/VERIZON/SPRINT?
GSM/Verizon have images/odin files available.
Linked in post 3 of the link in my signature.
"Returning to stock"
I think sprint still relies on nandroids.
Oh, and you have AOKP installed.
Fantastic ROM =]

thanks
Thanks for the reply, I'm in Ireland so guess its GSM.
Is there a European factory rom? Also is my phone rooted?

Otherwize, check my signature, download the Root Helper, and flash stock, via fastboot menu

[Q] Stuck in fastboot mode!

hi guys, i got a new HTC ONE M8 from China Mobile 3 days ago, when i got home i realized that it works with Sina Weibo instead of asking me for my google acount like all the previous Android phones i had before, i went to the store asked for a refund.. not happening. I paid 800 bucks for a phone i cant use.. so i went ahead and tried to solve the issue and root it, i followed a threat here every instruction but i messed up somehow and at the end i wasnt able to enter the recovery mode, so i couldnt install the rom i downloaded (this is the guide i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705292 ) so being unable to do anything i went to a tech today, he charged me 100 bucks to "solve the problem" and he was able to S-OFF the phone and i was finally able to get into recovery mode with TWRP but he said he didnt have any rom cause the phone was too new.. so i came back home where i had the ones i downloaded from the link i posted above... followed the insutrctions and installed the rom, everything seemed to be fine but then when it rebooted, nothing happens, the phone is stuck on fastboot mode and wont load into the operating system, i have tried to reboot a million times, updated the kernel , updated the twrp... still nothing. i am in china and have been trying to find another tech.. no luck at all. can someone help me or give me ideas on what to do? i would really appreciate the help!

You should be able to just flash any GSM ROM unless the Chinese model is a different variant. You could have bricked it, never a good idea to flash incorrect ROM for a device.
May I ask what ROM did you flash and for what device?

What does "totally dead" mean? Any charge LED? Any response when connected to a computer.
Also, not a good idea to dig up a thread from 5 months ago, with limited relevance. The top post did different steps, and was stuck in fastboot, which doesn't sound the same as your situation.

[Q] HTC M8. Phone boots only in fastboot and I can't do anything (factory reset etc)

Hi guys. I have a problem with my M8 (international).
Start topic was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...-boots-fastboot-factory-t2952954#post57042833 but I took an advice and open the same topic in general theme.
Hi everyone. I got a problem with my HTC M8.
First of all, I didn't make with it any changes (as unlock bootloader, root or installing any custom OS or recovery etc.) Week ago I left device, connected to PC for all night, and, I gess, with "bad" micro-USB cable.
Next day I couldn't boot this phone. I connected it to charger and after little time it was loaded to fastboot. But up today I can't do anything with phone: I can't unlock it, can't factory reset, can't boot to recovery etc...
I tried to find any same simptomes in google, but found nothing
As you can see on screenshots, I made steps for unlock bootloader but on device I didn't see notification about unlocking.

Could you help me with advices? Thanks.

I'm taking a bit of a guess but some how system has got wipe but that seems a bit off for a locked phone but since it's locked I would take it back to where you got it from and get them to sort it.

I would normally say the same. But the OP mentioned in another thread posted in the wrong forum section (linked in his post) that he bought from Canada but lives in Ukraine, so I think warranty is not valid. It would have been helpful for the OP to give all the relevant details in this new post.
I agree, it looks like his OS and possibly recovery have somehow become wiped, corrupted, or damaged. Not common for a stock device, but not unheard of, either.

Hi
I had a similar problem to you where I was stuck in fastboot mode and the only command it would execute was POWER DOWN and when switched back on it returned to fastboot mode. However I ended up in that state due to making a mistake in trying to unlock and root my phone. Also I believe my display showed the RADIO and OpenDSP details rather than the INVALID_VER_INFO that your's is showing.
I thought I had deleted the rom and recovery on my device and I had bricked my phone however I was able to recover my phone by getting a new unlocktoken from HTC and flashing it.
Once I had successfully unlocked my phone I had access to my rom and recovery.
I see from your first image that you tried to unlock your phone and it shows that 'unlock token check successful' but images 2 and 3 show that the phone is still 'LOCKED' so it may be worth going to the HTC site, get a new unlock token and try again.
If it doesn't work, it shouldn't do anymore harm either!
Best of luck.

Yes, I did this And in consol I saw that everything was fine, but on device I didn't see standart notification about unlocking.
A found some topics about "INVALID_VER_INFO" - and they said that it can be ok for some devices (guys checked this on their worked devices, booted to fastboot and saw the same).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715056 here is the topic about "INVALID...".
btw - I tried unlock phone after another man. He did the same - receive .bin from dev. HTC site etc. I did the same, but from another HTC dev. account and result was the same Phone didn't unlock.

It could be that the recovery has got messed up because I believe recovery is used to do it since unlocking will wipe data. The only things I can think of is a real ruu as in it full rom and firmware exe (good luck with that) or you could try just firmware ruu, riff box or HTC themselves.

I have the riff box but without needed pin-outs (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/...x-Flex-font-b-cable-b-font-for-Samsumg-LG.jpg I'm talking about these pin-outs). And my previous experience with riff box and Samsung S3 was not very good)))) I had been fixing it during 2 months

Hey man. Sorry but your problem not the same. You installed custom OS and it could be the reason of this. I install nothing. I have full stock device. And my problem not the same with your problem. Could you create new topic please?

Could anyone help with RUU process? What information I should have for correct RUU update? I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173 but I'm not sure that I have SPRINT device.
I need an information, how I can be sure, that I use correct file for RUU my HTC? Is it bootloader version, or operator version (Sprint, Verison etc.) or something else? As I wrote, I can open information about my phone in Fastboot (I can check my SN, CID, bootloader version etc.)

For a ruu to work it needs to have matching cid, guess mid and has to be same version or higher than what's on the phone. You can't flash the wrong one it won't let you.
Edit, also the one you linked to won't work.

Ok. And Can I flash version with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, for example? (I said that there are a lot of recovery but they are custom. Is it ok for me or I should find pack with all stock?)

How to use a RUU with a Macbook.

Hi everyone, I'm running Android Revolution and am sick of the issue where HD Voice blocks my phone calls. Therefore, I want to use a RUU to get back to stock root. However, I have a Macbook now. Does anyone know how I can get back to stock root by using a Macbook? Thanks in advance.

Download an OP6BIMG zip... its the easiest way for you. As long you have a european model or S-OFF.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563
Just look around there are a bunch of zip RUUs in threads.

And will this work even though I've got an American AT&T version? Thank you again.

If you're S-OFF with supercid yes. If not you'll have to find an AT&T zip

Android 4.4.2?????

I have a QTAQZ3 currently running 4.2.2. I captured the OTA url and downloaded an update bin file. I'm not exactly sure how bins compare to flashable zips, nor do I know what to do with a bin file. It seems as though this file has been hard to come by. I am hoping that by posting it, someone with the right know-how can help us fix all these bricked tablets.

I've looked through every possible thread on the internet. I rooted and then the device updated now it is bricked.
Does anyone have any of the original firmware?? Pleassseeeee.
