[Q] OOOPS shouldn't have done that

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.

I think he wanna say he lost his bacups.
@rjkitch
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.

[Q] how can I remove my custom rom

I'm Currently running android revolution hd 7.1, I notice a huge signal degradation so I guess I need to go back to stock.
Is there any an go back to fully stock?
I've searched for RUU, but they do not have 1.29.707 WWE, and mandrels doesn't seems to work on me (it just restored to default setting for ARHD)
Any help is appreciated

You mean you didn't create a nandroid backup of your device before flashing a custom ROM? You should always do that. I think you'll have to wait until a RUU is released, or if someone is willing to post a nandroid of their device

I know theres a stock zip found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752. Just flash it and you'd be back to stock. Your bootloader would still show as tampered. I did it and went back to stock as well.

I am still new to android, I thought a simple backup of apps and data is sufficient. Do you have any idea how long will it be released?
Totally regretted...

Ya, a Nandroid takes a complete mirror copy of your device (excluding any files on your internal storage like music, pictures, and videos) and saves it in a single file. You'll want to get in the habit of making these before flashing custom ROMs. The backup apps just saves the apps you've installed from the Google Play Store as well as SOME of it's configuration data.
I would post a request to see if someone with the same regional device as yours could upload a nandroid. Give your country and operator details...maybe someone has a nandroid you can restore to.

Singapore, Singtel. I wouldn't expect to find any nandroid from my country given the small number of users.
I guess my my region for HTC Build is 1.29.707.X
Thanks for your help. I have learnt from my experience...:crying:

Does anyone know about HTC's warning about the DRM keys being lost when you flash custom roms? I'm thinking about getting the Dev edition but is anything lost when you flash back to stock or another rom? I know with the Xperia Z, if you unlock the bootloader you'll lose the Bravia engine.

[Q] Assistance Please - Returning to 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.

Easiest way to "clone" locked device to a dev edition?

So I picked up a Dev Edition XT1060 on swappa so I can get ARUnchained running on it, and was wondering what's the easiest way to clone my current locked, stock, unrooted XT1060 to the new one? I've had varying levels of success in the past with the Moto "Migrate" app, ADB backup/restore from the command line, and Helium, but was wondering if there is anything better out there now.

Don't think so, not on an unrooted device. Best you can do is helium for user apps and data.
And in my opinion....that's as far as you want to go. Restoring anything system related to a new device is asking for problems. ?

KJ is right if you are going to a different phone.
But if rooted only & going to the same phone, as in a boot unlock which wipes data. You can (I have not tested) use "Online back up" apk with root only. At least on paper it should work .
See my links below.

They are identical system images, AFAIK, so there shouldn't be anything different in the system files, and the DevEd has already been unlocked by the previous owner. So I don't think I need any of that stuff transferred anyway, which should cut down on the time involved. I haven't played around with trying to restore an ADB backup from a different device, so I'm not sure if there's going to be any issues there. The only time I've used that method was to backup my device before using RSD to flash a different factory image, and even then it wasn't a very smooth operation. I guess I'll just have to try it and find out

Wasn't aware I could even nandroid an unrooted phone.
Edit: I'm wondering if maybe you misunderstood what I was talking about with the ADB backup/restore. Here's more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351
From my early experience with Carbon (which is now called Helium) it was basically the same thing as the ADB backup/restore function, Carbon was just a user friendly wrapper for it. But I could be way off on that point, it just seemed like it was doing exactly the same thing in the background.

I only figure that on "paper" the online BACKUP should work with root only. Not restore, mind you, that needs custom recovery. Which one would have after the obligatory data wipe which moto enforces to unlock.

OP is not rooted. So why confuse the matter. ?

See my edited reply above. Also, the phone is already unlocked by the previous owner (bought it used on Swappa) so I only need to put custom recovery on it and root it, and whatever data transfer method I decide to use.

I thought I would post this also for those wanting a way to backup, while rooted, and then restore their nandroid when unlocked.

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.
