[Q] Can I create full nandroid + stock recovery from stock phone? ROGERS

Hi Guys,
I currently have two HTC ONE's on Rogers. One is totally stock, and the other is unlocked with ARHD. What I'm looking to do is return the unlocked phone to totally stock without an RUU since it doesn't exist for Rogers yet... I want to do this not only for myself, but a good handfull of other users on here who want a stock Rogers nandroid + recovery to return to stock.
My logic says that on the stock phone, i should
1. Unlock the boot loader
2. Soft boot to CWM recovery
3. Take a full nandroid
4. use ADB to backup the stock recovery
5. restore it all on the unlocked device
Problem is, I really don't know how to do steps 4-5 technically. I can unlock and softboot into cwm, but how do i backup the stock recovery from there? and then how do i flash it to my ARHD phone etc? I've searched and searched and searched and really can't find all of the answers and i don't want to piece too many things together and screw it up.
Need some help, Thanks!

In the stock phone, after flash of CWM, do a nandroid backup, this is saved on sd.
You can mount the sd with CWM copy the backup to pc and after restore it in the phone with ARHD

I've read Mike's guide, its good - but doesn't touch on backing up a stock recovery from a stock phone. Doing a nandroid backup doesn't backup factory recovery either, as far as I know.

I thought CWM didn't backup stock recovery partition? The whole goal of this is to have a copy of the original Rogers recovery that is unavailable to us at the moment.

can someone help me return my at&t one to stock?

I have been trying for a while, can't get it to boot. Someone posted a zip of the factory rom over in the at&t section, doesn't seem to want to flash. Not sure if it's missing something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Umh, you will return stock but the rom posted in your section will not work?

No, it doesn't work. It's from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270552
Downloaded the recovery, and at the bottom someone posted the stock rom. TWRP won't read the rom, and cwm will read it but after 3 seconds it reboots. He said he didn't test it, so something appears to be wrong with it.
Also tried flashing the stock recovery, and that just gives me a blank screen with an arrow in a triangle after a little while.

Seems a rom.zip problem.
Stock recovery will not flash

Request Rogers stock recovery Please

I have to return my phone and I cannot get my stock recovery back onto my One. I followed the instructions that were played out in the guide I used but either did something wrong, or accidentally deleted the initial backup.
If anyone with the rogers variant could please help me by providing the stock rogers recovery.img i would be forever indebted to you. A stock nandroid would also work.

This thread has the OTA for rogers. In the folder there should be a firmware.zip file that contains a recovery. I was able to use the to upgrade to 1.29.631.17 from .4 (took 3 restarts) but I never tried to the 4.3 update.

so is the firmware.zip the Stock recovery file? If i flash it, will i go back to Stock recovery?
Currently i am on Stock Rom, but the recovery is TWRP... so if i try to update the latest 4.3 by Rogers, it opens up the TWRP recovery and sits there.,..

Sorry I forgot to add the link and had to wait 5min. It updated for me, but I didn't try all the way to 4.3 though since I heard it will change the hboot

I would suggest to achieve S-Off and then you could try another recovery.
And btw. most backups work for me, just sometimes backup of /system fails, but I can still restore the Rest
I am pretty sure that the bootloops accur, because every Rom you installed uses another kernel and your device is S-On, so you can't flash the boot.IMG within recovery

Error 155 means that you are trying to run the RUU on a phone with an unlocked bootloader.

You got that error because you were trying to restore a backup that uses the rfs file system on a CWM that only works with the ext4 file system. You can only restore a stock ROM with CWM 5.0.2.7. Here's a link

Its certainly possible although Ive never had that problem. This is the reason why I recommended you get another recovery like 4EXT or TWRP.

i tried 4EXT recovery as u suggest but no luck...
i successfully restore cm10.1 backup with CWM and now with 4EXT as well. while i made 2 of vipervivo ROM backup and both of them i cant restore, so it means it is the problem in ROM not in recovery??
i also made a stock backup and tried to restore with both CWM and 4EXT and same issue i faced with both, screen stayed on htc logo for few miniuets and then phone reboot to recovery mode by itself. now im almost 100% sure if i will install vipervivo again and will make abackup with 4EXT it wont be restore and will give a same issue "error while restore system"

[Q] How to backup stock recovery from my One?

Hi,
I had some trouble with updating my stock rom because of custom recovery, but now I got it managed. Now I want to backup my stock recovery, which is on my HTC One right now, before I install cwm again. How can I do that?
I found out, that you could remote boot cwm with fastboot (fastboot boot cmw.img) and finish a recovery over cwm, but remote booting seems not to work anymore. Are there any other ways to backup it either? It was such a pain in the ass getting the stock back, don't want to loose it anymore because of cwm.
Regards,
m00h

Which recovery you after?

What's your mainversion? You can find plenty of stock recoveries here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463387

I'm on 3.62.401.1 right now, the latest stock OTA. I'm not sure which recovery this is, that's why I would prefer to backup the one I have flashed right now.
