[RECOVERY] [Crespo] Official TWRP 2.8.x.x

If you want the Official TWRP Recovery (now compatible with KK) for your Nexus S just check this link, there will always be the latest TWRP recovery officially out.
For now the latest is: TWRP 2.8.7.0
LINK: https://dl.twrp.me/crespo/
How to flash this? (Recommended way)
- enter in fastboot mode
- plug to your pc
- open a command prompt at the path where fastboot.exe is located
- type: fastboot flash recovery (drag and drop .img file)
- when done, type: fastboot reboot
PS: You now have a custom recovery and you are rooted. Since 2.5.0.0, TWRP roots your phone for you. Just reboot to recovery, and reboot system, if you are not rooted it will prompt you to root, just slide to accept. Let it reboot ,go to the playstore and download SuperSU.
Or if u are rooted:
- download from the playstore: [ROOT]*Rashr - Flash Tool (Playstore) / [ROOT]*Rashr - The mobile Android Flash-Tool (XDA Thread)
- download the latest TWRP.img
- open the app
- select Flash Other Recovery Image
- browse to your downloads folder
- select the TWRP.img file you just downloaded
THANKS to:
Team Win Recovery Project for this awesome custom recovery.

Hi, I have a problem with a nandroid backup done with 2.3.1.0.
One backup done a week ago, works fine
Backup done today (successful restore) not work (stuck on boot, google and the lock)
Two question:
Is there a way to understand way stuck on boot?
If I restore /system from backup one (same rom) and /data from the last one is the same as full restore the last?
thanks

i restored system from the first backup, than data from the second one.
For now works fine. All apps restored with their data.
How is done the backup? Is a dd if=/system of=systembackup ?
If so can I mount -oloop systembackup?
thanks

problems with twrp

Just tried to restore a TWRP backup, said it was successful, reboot to system and all I get is "Fastboot Mode - No boot or recovery img"
I can still boot to recovery (TWRP)....
What should I do??
Here's what I did to fix: After restoring backup I wiped caches and installed ROM over the top. It is booting now. Thank goodness... I really didn't want to have to start over from scratch!!
Sucks that I can't rely on my nandroid backups though. Unless I am missing something.. This bug needs to be fixed!
not worth it, i reverted back to clockwork 5.8.0

[Q] return to stock

Think I have this figured out but just want some advice before I take the plunge! I have a Bell Mobility phone rooted with the lastest Viper Rom. Cracked my screen and want to return it for warranty...so what I gather is I need to relock the bootloader and flash the RUU?
As I cant seem to find an official Bell RUU I have downloaded this
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1818-m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-bm-001-1296665/
Sound about right?

No RUU for Bell is available.
Only one solution I thing
1) Get S-OFF (using revone) and unlocked boootloader
2) Flash CWM custom recovery
3) Flash this
M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID BM___001 / 1.29.666.5
from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
4) Flash any stock recovery
5) Using revone ,remove TAMPERED , Lock bootloader.
6) Get S-On
7) Return phone to service.
ps.If you made the nandroid backup before flashed custom ROM , use it, instead of item 3.
it would be better.

ok, so since the nandroid is for cwm and you are using cwm, this can not be the problem. are you sure that you've placed the nandroid backup in the correct cwm backup folder? so in cwm you can find it under "restore" but then you get an error?
edit: your bootloader is still unlocked isn't it?

pretty sure. I made a backup of the current rom, and then placeed the backup in the same folder. The most current backup restores fine, so i dont think thats it.

great! don't worry, this is how it should be now because you've flashed STOCK-recovery all fine, now just leave it like that, use revone to lock your bootloader and finally use hasoon2000's toolkit to switch back to s-on. and voilà, you're completely stock then :highfive:

Install Nandroid ZIP Woes

I can't for the life of my install a stock nandroid to my HTC One. I have tried everything and i can't restore it to the BM___001 nandroid. I need to restore it to stock and i am out of tricks. Suggestions?

Want to give some more details? Which custom recovery are you using? What commands have you been using? What errors you get?

I am trying to install the BM____001 nandroid with CWM. I put the unzipped folder in the right location and cwm does see it. I tried flashing the straight zip and it fails. I try flashing through ROM Manager and it fails. I will re flash to get error codes for you.

You can forget about the rest of your attempts. CWM nandroids are not flashed. Just report back the error you got when you selected the folder to restore.

I thought you said CWM could see it? Was that a typo?
I'm guessing you're on a 4.2.2 ROM? CWM still thinks your sdcard is at /data/media not the new /data/media/0. Move the clockworkmod folder into /data/media and CWM should be able to see your backups.

Got it, and have restored with the CWM backup. Now once it boots, the touch screen does not work. Previously i was on GPe 4.3 and have since updated the firmware.
Downloaded the appropriate BM OTA from the RUU collection and tried to install it and it gives me CID missmatch. I changed from CID 1111111 back to BM___001 and it still gives me the same issue. So i pulled the firmware.zip from the OTA and flashed it via rebootRUU. It flashed sucessfully (both times) and restarted. Still the touch wont work.
I am at a loss with this thing.

[Q] 4.4.2 CM11, return to all stock?

I have an HTC One on sprint, running a CM11 nightly. While I liked it for a while, due to business aspects, I need to go back to iphone. I am just gonna trade someone I know for my HTC for their iphone. I guess what i was wondering is what is the process of returning it back to stock? They still want root access, just not a custom ROM. I'm S-ON, HBOOT 1.56.000, Radio, 1.00.20.1100, and OS 4.06.651.4.
I'd like a step by step process hopefully (not an expert on androids, more used to iphones). But i do have some experience with cmd. I was also wondering if I turn it back to stock, will i lose all of my data (contacts, photos,etc.) I know you lose apps, but when I flashed to CM11, I backed up with TWRP, and then had to use CWM, so i couldn't restore my contacts. I do have a backup of my original ROM before i went to CM11 in TWRP, but I had to flash to CWM, so I'm not sure if it's still there.
Also, if they wanted to keep the CM11 on it, would there be any problems switching phone numbers and whatnot on it? I'd assume not because it still has an IMEI, but just wanted to make sure.

Find a flashable zip of twrp and if you didn't delete it ur backup of ur stock rooted should work...u have to have Sprint base Rom to swap phones so NO cm11 will not work when you go to trade phones

I tried to reflash twrp. It wouldnt work. it wouldnt recognize touches.
So if I want it all stock, except for root, can I use an RUU? I know it wipes everything, but better than nothing. plus i could sync with htc manager and get everything i had back.

tried to no avail. I tried and it was stuck on HTC logo for 15 minutes. I reflashed to CM11, and im downloading the RUU now to completely wipe/restore it. Unless i did something wrong? I erased cache using adb, then booted up, restored my stuff, and it said successful, but it was on the htc logo. I tried again to the same thing. then i reflashed cm11 and it worked. did i forget to do a factory reset before i restored everything? it said it wiped stuff before it restored it.

after you erased cache did you flash recovery, then reboot recovery and restore a backup
when you are on the htc logo hold the power button down til it reboots and see if it goes past the htc screen
you don't have to factory reset to restore a rom just hit restore and select the backup

Never relock your bootloader if your using a custom rom or recovery, so first of all, get it unlocked again.
which kernel did you flash ?

bulletproof kernel.. is there a guide to do that or can i follow the following one:

I believe bullet proof is a sense only kernel, CM is an asop rom not a sense rom.
Just unlock your bootloader at HTC Dev,
Once its unlocked, you might get lucky and just be able to flash a correct kernel to get booting again, failing that you'll either have to flash a new rom or restore your backup.

Sorry that took long it now says unlocked. How do i go about install cyanogenmod again or do i have to install a stock?

Try flashing an AOSP kernel now, something like this one, hopefully after that your phone will boot back to CM.

yes the rom will still be there if it was only a factory reset, if you did an advanced wipe inside something like TWRP then it wont.
Factory reset just restores whatever rom is on your phone to the state it was at when you first installed it, ie you will just have to set it back up again with email addresses and passwords, carrier and country etc after it boots.

you will need to enter recovery, push or sideload it to your internal sdcard and then flash it in recovery.
