This has not been tested by me and is still experimental. I hold no responsibility for any
problems caused. YOU! Are trying this at your own risk. Don't blame me that I wasted your $$$.
Put a scare in you didn't I?

Nothing to be credited for, until the device boots to CWM
How do you flash this custom recovery with ODIN?, what version?, thanks
I flash the file 2 times and it said pass but when reboot to recovery is stock so I don't know what went wrong

I added the zip to the pda area and flash Odin v3.07
I installed the image with ADB.
put the recovery image on the sdcard mount or ext sdcard mount
ADB to the note 8.0
su to root
go to your image directory
dd if=xxx.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
switch back to the note and reboot directly to recovery (i used goomanager)
it does boot the first time - but it is jittery and in landscape mode.
after the first system boot- the device wipes it and goes back to stock recovery.
I have seen this with other stock android devices- sometimes there
is a script that gets triggered on boot to remove any custom recoveries.
I did clear the recovery check from CWM - but it was hard to see because of the
landscape mode and the screen jumping around.
It looks like the full backup is working- now I wonder what ROM will be close enough
to the 8.0 to try flashing.

Found this Q&A in the Note 10.1 rooting guide in RootGalaxyNote.com:
Q: I don’t see ClockworkMod Recovery when I enter recovery, I see stock Android recovery.
A: With newer software updates, you may be encountering this error because it will overwrite ClockworkMod Recovery upon reboot. To get around this, simply boot into ClockworkMod Recovery right after flashing in ODIN. You can set auto-reboot off in ODIN then when done, just hold down Power and Volume Down straight to bootloader menu.
This may have been the problem.
To get it to stop resetting to stock recovery every time you reboot, under /system, there is a file named "recovery-from-boot.p". Rename it to .bak or whatever. That file is typically the culprit for custom recoveries not 'sticking'.
Also, we don't have a factory image yet, do we? I'm hesitant to mess too much with this stuff until we have a way to Odin ourselves out of a softbrick.

Also, to the OP, thanks for doing this. I'm pretty familiar with adb if you'd like to do TWRP. Would love to have it instead of CWM!

Yeah, But i'd like to keep, just incase something goes insanely wrong. The stock recovery.img is provided, you can always flash back it something goes wrong. And i am readying up TWRP, may need you to pull some logs if it doesnt boot

I will be releasing a full Note 8.0 Toolkit today or tomorrow with support to rename the stock recovery restore files so that custom recovery isnt overwritten after flashing. If anyone wants to help test please email me at [email protected]
Mark.
Attached is a tar of recovery.log pulled with ADB while booted to CWM.
The display goes to landscape on boot - and the fonts seem extra large.
When the vol up/down navigates the screen jumps and you can't see the
highlighted option.
It is usable with trial and error if you know the order of the CWM menus and
use the vol up/down and power to navigate.

Only thing I can judge by that are the missing mount types for the recovery.fstab. Ill fix that now. But someone, try keeping the device physically portrait and see if cwm works properly then, if not then physically landscape.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S try using touch input, its a touch recovery, or so I built it
^thats why fonts are large
^thats why there are no indicators
I tried changing orientation before boot - it always goes to landscape.
I attached 2 images - one is the display after the first CWM boot.
The second is after pressing Vol Up to navigate to the 2nd menu option.
I have seen jumpy CWM presentation like this on some smaller screens like the
Sony Xperia 2011/2012 phones.

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.
hi everyone, i have recently got a HTC one, its rooted and also has custom recovery(TWRP) installed. its currently running stock android 4.2.2 firmware and today i have download the android 4.3 ota update. when i try to install the update it boots the TWRP recovery and i m unable to update. is there any way to update without losing my data, i know i have to flash the stock recover and again try to install the update but will this erase all my data(everything). i was using samsung galaxy s3, and its case there used to be chances to loose the data.. does same happens in HTC too. i don't wan't to lose my data, its about 23GB's..

Your data shouldn't get wiped. No harm in making a backup though, just in case anything goes wrong. You'll just have to reflash twrp once you're done. Just out of curiosity, what's the software number of the update you got?

just a quick word of caution, last time I flashed back a stock recovery (and accessed it, but didnt do anything in it), I was unpleasantly surprised that it wiped my entire internal storage

All the info needed to update is here http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/ota/
First flash the guru reset mentioned, then the OTA•
You could use titanium backup for all your apps and manually copy all the stuff from the internal sdcard to your pc. Making a nandroid won't really help, coz then you'll be restoring an older nandroid to a phone with a newer firmware, which doesn't work well. If you're completely stock right now, you could make a nandroid, and then after updating, if you want stuff to be like before, you could restore only your data partition. Works on Viper, not sure about stock.

I use Titanium Backup Pro for that (there's also a free version), both require root though. if you need a solution without root, check out Helium; i've never tried it but it should also work.
for SMS and call logs, I use "SMS Backup & Restore" and "Call Logs Backup & Restore" by Ritesh Sahu, which work better than Titanium IMHO.
Then I put everything on my PC, and I'm good to go
Okay, maybe I confused you a bit here, lets do this step by step
1. Make a nandroid of your current rom(data partition) with twrp (make sure you copy this to your pc), backup all apps with titanium backup, copy all data from internal storage
2. Flash guru reset.
3. Flash OTA.
4. Flash twrp, get root
5. Make a nandroid of the new rom (just in case), and then restore only the "Data" partition from the nandroid backup. If it works, amazing. If not, restore all apps from titanium backup. Good luck

Edit: i have got the link to stock recovery: http://d-h.st/rZj
Do i have to worry about anything else.. Things i will do now:
1. make a backup of all sd-card data
2. make a titanium backup of all apps
3. use Super Backup : SMS & Contacts to backup call logs, sms and contacts
4. make a nandroid backup of system
5. Flash the stock recovery
6. do an OTA update
I thing this much will do the update right? or is there anything to worry about?

Why I'm suggesting that you download the guru reset is that it'll ensure that you're completely stock before the OTA. having a rooted rom with all of those tweaks that anyone will generally install can cause many complications, so just to keep the process straightforward, rather do it. Leave it to download overnight By "nandroid backup of system", do you mean a complete backup or only of the system partition? Because, you need to make a backup of your data partition, not system. A complete backup will also do.

thanks for ur help guys, everything is working fine, i think volume is decreased a bit, getting less sound than previous. Do u guys know how to claim the 25GB free google drive space, i even tried to lock the boot loader but ins not working.. is there any way??
Installation:
Make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options and turn phone completely off
Boot into HBOOT then Fastboot
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
OR
Flash via Rom Manager(must have root already).
Downloads:
You can now flash in Rom Manager in rom if rooted
Use this (the recovery img) - http://sonic-developers.com/testing/mythi/m8/

Awesome! It's great to see cwm finally here. How is it running? Does it have the same issues that the other two recoveries are having with restoring backups? If not I'd flash this immediately, but I'd like to see some feed back first.

No, didn't hurt. It boots, it flashes, it backs up and restores. Aroma installer looks like a bad tv screen, the same thing on latest PhilZ recovery and usb option still doesn't connect as on any other recovery.
As I didn't much more, time will show what else works or not. I like the idea of swiping, also scrolling up and down is a little pain until you foind out how it works.
Guys you can flash that and use it without nuking your devices. Some more feedback would be welcome. You shouldn't miss the rainbow mode... :laugh:

Guys you can flash that and use it without nuking your devices. Some more feedback would be welcome. You shouldn't miss the rainbow mode... :laugh:

Android_secure.img? Did you back up that particular directory? If it restores boot.img, system and data that should be enough to restore your device completely.
Android_secure is being skipped here as well, after these three particular backups have been restored. So it's neither important, nor needed!
For backups I'm using online nandroid backup. Very comfortable as you don't need to boot into recovery to do a nandroid backup and it can be customized the hell out of it. No need for any settings in recovery (missing here anyways) so. Give Nandroid Manager a go as well on your device if you need single files being restored.
Ey and I LIKE SWIPING with this recovery. It's the future... Touch was yesterday.
I'll keep it on my device and walk through the functions the next days.
now people ... i need detailed details of whats working and whats not ... i want this to get stable :laugh:
At&t M8 unlocked, S-off, CID-111111.
Tried to backup to sdcard1 and it showed in your recovery before I wiped and restored an older backup.
Wipe/factory reset worked as it should.
Restored older CWM backup and rebooted without an issue.
Looked in ROM Manager for the backup I did before the the wipe and it wasn't there.
Rebooted into recovery via ROM Manager...no issues.
Looked for backup again in sdcard1 and it didn't save.
Factory wipe/reset.
Installed new ROM zip and booted up no issues.
Back into recovery, factory wipe/reset.
Restored last prior backup and dirty flashed updated ROM...worked without issues.
Currently waiting for some free time to try a backup to internal sd.....Hope this helps. Had this type of swipe recovery on my S4...thanks for your time/work and hope you can get it working 100%.
Tried to do backup via ROM Manager...Booted into recovery but E:unknown volume for path /external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/..... Can't mount backup path.
Did a backup to internal sd in CWM and I see the date/backup but haven't wiped and tried restoring yet.

What was the problem with restore in PhilZ?

OK. So I soft bricked my phone earlier, and just restored by flashing the RUU. Now that I'm trying to root back, I'm noticing that my file system is totally different from what it used to be. TWRP actually says no OS is installed, but the stock version of 4.4.2 is most certainly there and boots just fine. How can I rectify this?
UPDATED: There was actually no problem with the file system. It appears I likely had a bad download of TWRP so it wasn't recognizing the mount points.

What version of TWRP do you have installed? 2.7.1.1 wipes OS version from bootloader, but that doesn't affect anything. If you want OS to be shown flash TWRP 2.6.3.3. It's the most stable recovery and you won't have problems flashing ROMs with it. On the other hand, if your phone works fine, leave it as it is

It was actually tdhite's 2.7.1.3 that I flashed that really screwed up my phone.
I was using 2.7.1.1 fine before. I flashed back to 2.7.1.1 after getting my phone working again with the RUU. I have a full backup of my rooted phone saved to my computer and would love to be able to restore it back through TWRP. But the actual filing system in ES File Explorer looks different.
In TWRP, I can't even get to SuperSU to become root because of the way the file system is so different.
When I was soft bricked, I may have played around in the Mount function of TWRP and screwed it up that way.

I wanted to add, the only partition showing as mounted in TWRP is the Data. Can't mount cache or system. Going to restore shows my internal storage at 37 MB. Going to file manager shows I am in the folder "/." In this folder are a boot, cache, data, deve, etc, license, proc, recovery, res, root, sbin, sdcard, supersu, sys, system, tmp, usb-otg, default.prop, file_contexts, fstab.goldfish, fstab.qcom, init, init.rc, init.recovery.qcom.rc, property_contexts, seapp_contexts, sepolicy, ueventd.goldfish.rc, ueventd.rc. Most of these have nothing in them. SuperSu does have a Superuser.apk inside, but its not the SuperSu file I downloaded from Chainfire's page, and with only Data being mounted I'm afraid to flash the default one.
The other funny thing is that when I go to reboot system in TWRP, it says that no OS is installed, but like I said, the stock system boots just fine. I believe everything on my phone is installed to Data.

The file system has not changed since 4.1.2 to 4.2.2

You should also make it Clear you Have a Sprint HTC One

Yes. It's the Sprint HTC One m7. This is the most bizarre problem I have come across. And I was successfully rooted (SuperSU) with TWRP 2.7.1.1 installed prior to installing TDHITE's 2.7.1.3, which really seemed to mess things up for some reason. I used liquidsmooth custom rom, but ended up going back to the stock ROM and using Xposed framework because I do like a lot of the stock features, but I loved being able to tweak them with Xposed. Now I'm stuck on stock with a weird looking file system.

Dude, we could really do some serious damage to your phone. As clsA said, you really should make it clear that it's Sprint version. Did you by any chance flash something that's not for Sprint phones? That could screw up your system.

Is this possibly just a problem with TWRP? I actually notice in ES File Explorer that things arent' too different after all. I've got a / (Device) folder and a "0" folder which is my internal storage. It's just stuff isn't showing right in TWRP I guess, and TWRP seems to only be mounting my data partition.

Flashing that TWRP is what got it working. I didn't follow any of the other steps. Thanks so much! Now to load my backup and restore! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Making a stock backup first of course. I love these forums. Seriously. Anything is possible with the fine people of XDA.
