The files are in the super guide. There are several tools in there to help you get back CWM recovery.
So I was testing new stuff on my ONE S when things went wrong. So I went to my inc S and grabbed the SD. Long story short I formatted it and lost my recovery's. I am wondering if someone can give me a md5 file or even the .img's (boot, system , data....)? I don't want to do a complete reinstall to factory to make another nand backup.
Thanks
What have you lost? You could download the recovery from the 4EXT or CWM sites in img format.

Dude, I'm not sure that someone will give you his/her backup will all private stuff (like sms and phonebook) inside.
All nand flash
I have lost all recovery, I am just worried that my phone crashes and can't recover. I have made a recovery (restore) but I am not sure if this will bring me back from a brick state if it should happen. Is installing a RUU the only way that I will get this back? if so do I have to turn S on to get a true recovery, how far back do I have to go?
Again thanks for all the great info
Recovery brick is the softest brick you can come up to, so don't worry (see the link how it works in my signature).
I'm not sure that you can loose recovery just with formatting your SD card cause recovery should work even when you don't have a card in your device. Anyway, if you loose recovery you can always flash it via fastboot.
And at the end, I still don't get it, what have you lost your nand backups or you can't boot to recovery?
I have lost all, I had all of my backups including my nand saved on my sd card. Yes I can still boot into cwm recovery but there is no backups found other then the cm7 that I just backed up. I have tried to find the md5 file as well as the system.img data.img and so on.
What I am getting out of this is I need to install a RUU go back to authentic then re backup? when I do this do I need S-on?

Dude, you fu***d all us telling you lost your recovery!!! Next time try to tell what have you really lost!
You don't deserve any more help, but ok. What hboot do you have?
So I am not sure how I miss led you I told you on the first post I erased my sd and that all my backup info was on it including my nand. But would still like your opinion, even though I think you had a hasty reply to me.
HBOOT-6.13.102

It was far from hasty, trust me. You have to learn the difference betwen recovery and backup
It's revolutionary hboot, isn't it?
If it's Revolutionary yku should be able to run ruu without loosing s-off. If it's Alpharev hboot I suggest you to flash BlackRose.
K so it Alpharev
I will flash black rose and post results tomorrow.
Thanks again for your help

With Revolutionary HBOOT6.13 you will only be able to the Gingerbread based RUUs. If you attempt to use one of the new ICS RUU, the phone will not boot because the stock ICS ROM needs the stock HBOOT 2.0x.
So installed black then Ginger RUU (thanks for the RUU heads up) I got a new nand. I can't say enough about the users on this site, thanks for your help.
Now to get back cm

Hi,
I will be getting a HTC One shortly to replace my Galaxy S2. It will be from my local Canadian carrier SaskTel. I plan on flashing CM10 or else the full Google Edition conversion (bootloader, recover and all). What I want to know is how do I do a FULL backup of my stock system? Will a nandroid suffice? I'm new to the HTC world. I'm used to the recovery being part of the kernel. Does nandroid back up the recover partition?
Thank you.

A nandroid backup is enough. But if you are talking about backing up radio, kernel and recovery on your phone I have no idea how to do that. All I know is you can look around for them in the xda forum. But if it's just the ROM you're talking about, a nandroid backup will do.

Yeah I want to back up everything. In one of the dev threads there's a RUU zip of all of the partitions and radio for the Google Edition. I want to do the same with my stock phone once I get it. There has to be a way to do it because they did it with the GE variant.
Looking through this zip file it looks like they are dd image files. I'm familiar with dd in linux and mac. Does anybody have a list of which block devices correspond to which partition? Also, how do you backup the radio?

I'm very interested in doing that on my friends STOCK Rogers phone also! Since I messed with mine and am no longer stock
I have read a pile of material now on returning to Stock. I am still confused, and want to turn my One back to stock in order to sell it.
I have a Telus Mobility HTC One
Firmware 1.29.661.17
HBOOT= 1.44
I am rooted
I have S on
Ok, now that this is all out of the way, here is what I want to accomplish:
1. I want to return the HTC one to stock
I learned a valuable lesson. I really should have taken a nandroid backup before jumping into flashing custom roms. My bad. I have never done it. Now I know why.
Can someone please point me in the correct direction?
Things I have done/looked for:
-I have searched for a 1.29.661.17 nandroid backup for TWRP. There was a link for one, it is dead. I have PM'd the original poster in hopes they still have it.
-I have searched for a RUU to download. I haven't had much success, or what I saw confused the heck out of me.
Now, if someone could please assist - What is the correct procedure for me? Can someone point me to the right place, link to go?
I appologize. There are a bundle of posts on returning to stock. I didn't mean to open another one.

Here's a link for 1.29.661.5 TWRP nandroid backup. You should be able to restore this and then take OTA's to get you back to 1.29.661.7 and then 1.29.661.17.

Thank you! So one last question. Do I just flash it like any other ROM in twrp? Or do I have to put it in the twrp backups file then hit restore? Because if that is the case I'm kind of pooched. I downloaded the file and copied to data/twrp/backup. When I go to twrp it doesn't show up.

The file you downloaded is in rar format (kind of like a zip). Get winrar and extract the files it contains (system.ext4.win, etc) and then copy them into the twrp backups folder in same manner as other backups, then use TWRP restore function.
Hey everyone thanks to @BIOKNOX who recently helped me get my Note 9 working again, I want to make a complete software backup. A complete IMAGE of the current software so just in case something goes wrong, I could have somewhere to come back to. So I need help with that. I use twrp will that work? Is their a better software?

Since you're using TWRP then that's the best. Make a backup of all partitions. If there is a problem while restoring try to restore one by one, maybe some cannot be restored, can't say nothing here. But a nandroid TWRP backup is the way to go, yes.

Hey, I backed up the file in steps, cause I did not had a big SD card at hand. The problem I am facing is I cannot backup system image. How can I backup that file? Is it important? Btw all back ups are done using twrp and I just realised that I could have just backed everything up in the phone storage and then copied it all as one file on to my laptop.

I haven't had any experience with TWRP or such things on phones newer than the Galaxy S5. I don't see a point to root or tinker with my Note 9 as it's perfect stock so can't really test if i can backup the system image myself. All things are important in a backup, is it grayed out or something? I'd always do a full 1 backup though, not in parts. Seems easier to restore later.
