I wanna keep bootloader unlocked and TWRP recovery. would it be possible to go from the CM12.1 rom to the stock rom? I dont need stock recovery as Ill be reflashing CM12.1 after I have tried out HTC sense 7 and MM
No, i dont think so. Dont you Have a backup in twrp? If no i'm not sure if there is a solution. Maybe take a look on ruu.lalleman.net.

If you Have a backup of your original firmware (Stock ROM) you can restore it and then update your System to 6.0 in your settings, info, device updates(maybe somewhere else in settings)

No idea what cuases that? Maybe do a quick Google search for that issue. You can try Flash twrp again using flashify (play Store)or htc_fastboot

You can flash a sense rom from TWRP. There are many stock based roms that have few optimizations.
Try Viper, ICE, Leedroid, Sky Dragon, Bad Boyz (might not have international support).
There are also a few stock rooted roms around. It's very easy to flash from recovery. Just make sure you are on the most current Firmware for your device.
If you are looking to go stock with no extras, THIS might be what you are looking for (also elaborates on the write protection issue you are having)
Ooops. I didn't realize your device was the M8s. I think it's kind of silly it's in the same forum, but oh well. Sorry for the confusion.

You're in wrong device thread man ... all your suggested ROMs are meant for M8 only.
They won't work for his/this device.

ahhhhh. I see. Didn't realize this was the M8s they were talking about. I thought it was the M8 general. Thank you for pointing that out. I was wondering why it was so hard for them to find a stock ROM....
Found a fix guys. Will post here if someone has the same issue:
1. boot TWRP, try flashing recovery, get the error
2. go to mount in twrp and turn on mount system as read only, then try flash again
3. go back into mount, turn off mount system as read only, then tap system
4. start the restore, this fixed it for me

now i have got the 1st or 2nd software update from htc popping up on my phone. i have not updated because iv read it could mess things up on my phone.
i want to either 1. remove twrp all together so i can install official update or 2nd where to get the update and do it through twrp. where do i need to go. how to install it. also how to install stock android because it is meant to be better and perform better.

Well I think you can just flash stock recovery back before you do that make a backup with twrp and if you have removed system apps or froze them restore them before flashing stock recovery back & then apply the updates if that is successful just flash twrp back

Well you either need to find your stock rom Inc stock recovery if it's not there you could ask for it on the thread & at some point someone might upload it. Take it you never made a stock Backup before unlocking etc.

Not being funny there is plenty of guides on xda to help you. If you don't know if you have s-off you shouldn't even attempt the Adb commands or flashing anything as you could end up with a expensive paper weight. Before you do anything else read the XDA threads on the m8

Hi im not a total noob but I have never updated my phone as was looking for the simplest way to do so. I also have a few questions for when ive done so. Im currently on 4.4.2 rooted soff and have been advised to update so I can get a working kexec so I can install multirom properly.
will I need to reroot and unlock bootloader after?
Is there a risk of bricking.

Sir if you were in rooted condition and gladly also in S-OFF, you're free to do anything , i mean rather than fallback to stock, just flash any custom rom you want but also flash it's correlated firmware.

If I'm you, I rather update my device to 4.4.4 first as you're running the older firmware so all you can enjoy is simply CM based rom whereas the lastest GPE and sense based rom may not work properly since you're still using the older firmware.
Is it better for me to return to stock update everything and reroot rather than updateing Rom and firmware seperately

Easier way is to restore back to stock and do the OTA than root if need but I don't. I flash a custom recovery and make a nandroid backup and flashing straight! skipping root

The easiest way is to get s off, then go superCID
You download the firmware zip, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip. Put that on your extCSD and boot into hboot.
That's it. Your phone does the rest.

I understand you not wanting to mess your phone. It is always best not to proceed if you are unsure.
I'm not sure what carrier you are on, but for the normal international model, you will want to download this firmware to use in the method I explained.
Some American carriers have different firmware, so if you on an American carrier, let me know which one and I will provide you with the proper download to update to 4.4.4
The best thing about this method over an RUU is that you won't lose any data.

I doubt that any stock rom will flash with twrp recovery....in the past with oppo phones (n1, 7a) its always needed stock recovery to flash stock roms...I guess we just play the waiting game until someone can upload the boot image from the updated rom. I'm pretty sure flashing that alone will get wifi back up and running. 07 Or if someone has the stock recovery they could upload....I am unsure if you can just rip it directly out of the rom and flash it....Also on oppo forums they have posted the rom for 5207 I am also unsure if you can flash that to the 5206.
The zip in that thread is images to flash in fastboot?
...
I would think you would have to flash each image individually.... system, boot, recovery ....unless if we start by flashing only the unmodified boot.img to see if it will fix wifi....but i doubt it because i suspect the wrong boot image is what screwed up wifi in the first place...someone please correct me if im wrong

Yes, you're right; the boot image is not compatible with the upgrade; so downgrade to get root. I'm working on trying to upgrade again with the OTA upgrade and then getting the new boot.img and rooting that. More soon I hope!
FYI I tried your images, Lum_UK and found that I couldn't flash boot.img with fastboot, BUT I could dd them from within recovery, so I got myself up and running again.
Yes you'd have to flash all the images by hand one after the other.

Thanks for that, though I haven't tried it yet. Can I ask what it changes? Is it worth the upgrade? My original firmware +root seems to work pretty well already so I may well leave it alone until L or CM comes out.

I have no idea what it changes as it's the firmware my International N5706 was shipped with when it was released last week. It may be different to the US model (though I believe the only difference between the two is the baseband) and is definitely different to the N5707 for Chinese users.
Dude, thanks!!! You saved my life!

Oxygen Os fails to install the OTA when detected root ot any changes to system patrition, thus you have to wait for the full zip and dirty flash over the existing. Fairly simple.
I can still do a nandroid backup and restore stock OxygenOS, correct?

You can clean flash. It is a full zip. I have restricted access to it now as I don't see anyone getting the OTA. So, it might be a mistake build. Lol.

Hey @gee2012,
I'm on PA's 6.0.1 build right now, looking for a stock OOS ROM, newer the better. Can I flash this zip through TWRP? Just need to get back to stock somehow.
Thankyou.

No, you need to flash the stock recovery.img in fastboot first and then you can flash the zip in recovery/flash from local.

I`am looking for it myself atm, so i can`t help you with that i`am afraid
I (call me moron) am bricked (TWRP is installed) and looking for stock recovery also. Could someone post it, please? Otherwise I'm unable to flash a stock ROM. (TWRP does flash it, but after that it says "No OS installed".)
At least I have to wait for my new SIM cards for a few days anyway, so... never mind...

At least you have a problem that can be solved I posted a request for the stock recovery.img so maybe will upload it.
lol i guess everyone got excited and just installed TWRP off the bat, now that i have learned to pull .img files, its too late for me since i installed twrp instead of booting up, there has to be someone who had done it, i wonder why no is providing it, its a simple task.
I haven't heard anything about an working method for backup stock recovery in A/B partition system, anyone knows how to do that? I already tried adb, Flashfire, TWRP, there's no recovery partition, help

Yeah, there is no recovery partition in our phone... Why do you want to backup it?

You will brick your phone as simple as that... You cannot use slots A/B with stock and AOSP simultaneously.
Read the guides on my signature and take care.

And I don't want to, what I'm trying to say is that if I want to go back to stock I can do it fully, including recovery, I don't want to have two systems installed at the same time, just stock or AOSP. And thanks for that post, I'll check it, I'm new in this.

If you return to stock, the recovery is included. You don't need the stock recovery to go back to stock ROM. There is also a guide for "returning to stock".

Even if the zip file doesn't include a recovery.img?

Recovery is in our boot.img. Flash that and you'll have stock recovery.

Does unlocking the bootloader stops the phone from receiving OTA?
