an .rar is a compressed file. unrar the file to get the .img
Do u lose clockwork recovery when u reboot? That's the problem I'm having updating to 2.3.1
breaks wifi for me
How do I flash the img? Do I use adb and if so what's the adb commands?
After I flash this, i just go into rom manager and download/install the update and that's it?
Will i lose root by flashing this?

test_boot.img should be in the folder, c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
since that is where you are running flashboot from

looks like installing a rooted img breaks wifi. i did the superboot/paulobrian method then installed the voodoo ext 4 kernel, then wifi was broken.
i reflashed my boot.img and re-updated via recovery and i have wifi back.

Hi all
I recently rooted my new HTC One. However, due to issues with the Barclays Mobile app not liking rooted devices (I've tried to get around this using instructions from this forum, but no joy) I now want to unroot.
My modelid is PN0710000, and my cidnum is H3G_001. There's no RUU for this, so I located a CWM Nandroid backup zip (courtesy of BugsyLawson and shrubz).
Am I correct in thinking that my route to unroot is as follows? ...
1. Copy downloaded file to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ location on device. (Do I leave as zip, or unzip it in this location?)
2. Unzip downloaded file on my laptop
3. Restart device in Fastboot mode
4. On laptop, flash the recovery and boot of the file.zip (i.e. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img THEN fastboot flash boot boot.img)
5. Restart device in Recovery mode
6. Flash the zip file in CWM
7. Restart device in Fastboot mode
8. Relock bootloader (i.e. fastboot oem lock)
Will that work?
Thanks all...I'm new to all this, but learning fast (I hope!)

Just unroot the rom that's currently on the phone. SuperSU has a full unroot option in its settings.
Then stock recovery can be flashed via fastboot, but not really necessary.

Ah, that's correct, because /system partition is write protected after boot.
Flash the attached unroot-flashable.zip in CWM or TWRP, it will delete the su binary and Superuser.apk system app, which will unroot the OS.

Brilliant! That seems to have done the trick
Now, maybe you'll be able to advise why I can't flash
bugsylawson.com/files/file/1056-m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-h3g-001-128771x/
zip file in recovery? It's the correct modelid and cidnum...
I basically want to get my device back to as close to stock settings as possible.
Thanks again!

You'll need to unzip it into the CWM backup folder in the device /sdcard

Any ideas?
Hi buddy.
I've just unlock my htc one from 3 as well and I've been really stupid and forgot to make a nandroid backup, please can you upload anywhere or share with me yours please?? I really want to keep it if needed to go back.
Thanks very much mate.
The only .zip I can find already has a modified boot.img that is rooted. I'm looking for a bone stock one so that I can apply the H21120x OTA via TWRP. (I guess I Could just write out the boot.img update from the updater-script).
Anyone have a copy of this from their device or a way to get it from a KDZ?

i think you can using ext2explore-2.2.71 you can then get boot.

That worked!
I'd also recommend not doing it the way I did (modifying the update.zip and flashing stock boot.img) it seems to have broken Bluetooth.

I was able to get a H81120V boot.img extracted from the kdz, but it looks like flashing the update.zip through TWRP breaks bluetooth.

Hey guys,
I was trying to unlock my phone and install a custom ROM so I installed TWRP and everything was going smooth until I tried installing a custom ROM. In TWRP I hit "Install" and click the zip file for the ROM I want (PureNexus) and it says "Invalid zip file format! Error installing zip file '/sdcard/PureNexus.zip"
Does anyone know what the problem is? I can't figure this out. This is the first time I'm doing anything from the bootloader so I'm a bit of a newb. I would be fine going back to stock everything if it means my phone will turn on. I tried installing the official image from google (7.1.1) and I get the same zip error.
So where I'm at is I do not have an OS installed on but I do have access to TWRP. In the command prompt on my desktop it recognizes my phone when I type 'adb devices' but it doesn't do anything when I type 'fastboot devices'.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm scared.
Okay, so I figured out what fastboot was and I was able to install Google's 7.1.1 stock image using the command prompt. I was freaking out for a few hours and even though I didn't get the custom ROM I wanted I'm really happy I didn't brick my phone. I've never done anything like this on my phone so it was a fun learning experience
I'm still curious what I did wrong and why TWRP couldn't unzip any of the zip files (PureNexus, Google Stock, etc). If anyone knows I'm still interested in learning what I did wrong.

TWRP: wrong version or damaged;
ZIP: damaged or incomplete download.
Latest version TWRP is 3.2.1.0.

Yes, and the Google factory image isn't meant to be flashed that way. I guess the Google OTA image might be flashed from TWRP, but I haven't tried it.
TWRP will flash an image (. img) file if you set it to by tapping the img button. If you don't have that set and try to flash an image it will error. If you have it set to img and try to flash a zip it will also error.
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Install the latest TWRP recovery.
3. Wipe.
4. Install the required ROM.
To go back to stock firmware, just download the relevant factory firmware zip, extract it and run the script. I think a readme file is provided in the zip explaining how to go about it.
Cheers! Happy New Year!
I download the stock fastboot rom in hope to find the stock recovery.img. But there is no recovery.img name on it. Wonder whats the image name for the stock recovery. Or any of you guys can upload the stock recovery ?? Thank you so much!
If you're trying to return a 10s to stock you don't need an .img file you either need the .tgz fastboot file or the recovery file .zip, using the xiaomi tool. Both versions are available on the official Xiaomi mi site. All the info you need is here:

the recovery is inside the boot.img, so you'll need to reflash the boot image

I am already on stock and i also downloaded the .tgz file. I just want to extract the recovery.img from the downloaded .tgz file but no recovery.img named on it . I want to revert from twrp to stock recovery without losing any data.
