Is it possible to backup a rom and restore from it with a different version... I have a cm10 backup(system only)I'm currently in cm10.1 can restore without having to flash boot IMG??? If not is there a way to restore without fastboot.
No you cannot use different version kernels on not corresponding version roms. No you cannot flash boot IMG without the android debug bridge

Can I back up the system and boot...and successfully restore from different version without having to flash IMG?
Even of you have backed up boot, you still have to use fastboot to flash kernel. I think it's because we don't have s-off.. Now don't ask what is s-off, google it if you don't know
I do know what s-off is... why doesn't HTC pico have to flash kernel when change a rom? it is doesn't have s-off

You cant flash it without fastboot. You dont need to back it up as there are download links all over.

Flash the Rom in recovery the go into bootloader and fastboot flash the boot.IMG unless you're s-off in which case you can download my s-off kernel version and just flash that in recovery too.

Thanks. I figured it out and now running de sense.
I would like to know as to how can i backup stock recovery? Bcoz, i wish to go S-off and unlocked via Revone method, then flash TWRP, flash a few mods, and then get back to stock recovery , s-off, locked bootloader. Is that all possible. Does a nandroid backup, backup's stock recovery as well???
Thanks in advance guys.
You can't do a nandroid without custom recovery so that is out of the picture. OTA zip files however contain the recovery file you need.

If you're still on stock recovery at the moment - go into fastboot and command:
fastboot boot name_of_your_custom_recovery.img
This will just boot into custom recovery without flashing it. Do a backup and it will backup your stock recovery.

You'll need to download either CWM or TWRP. You can rename the download if you want to something like cwm.img or twrp.img to make it easier.
Once the backup is done it will be on your phones internal storage in the clockworkmod or TWRP folder - depending which one you choose to boot. Just copy it to your PC.

One question though... i bought this phone as a used, and it was Tampered and Relocked. When I selected the recovery option, it booted the phone to somewhat stock like recovery, and then after some process, the phone rebooted, and the phone was totally Factory Reset.... everything in the storage was gone too..... so is there an way to check if it is indeed a stock recovery, or this is the normal behaviour of stock recovery...?
You need to unlock your bootloader before doing anything with custom recovery. Use Revone or the official HTC Dev method

this method of just booting a custom recovery used to work with OLDER hboot versions. but it doesn't work with newer hboots. my hboot version is 1.54.0000 and when I use the command mentioned above, my bootloader menu just freezes!! guess I'll have to look for the OTA file then to find the stock bootloader!

Not sure if it helps as I was still on 1.44 HBoot, but when I tried the command while the bootloader was locked, my bootloader would also freeze and I had to do a hard reset. Once I unlocked my bootloader, the boot command worked.

first of all, you must have your bootloader unlocked in order to boot/flash a custom recovery. you can't do so if your bootloader is locked. and secondly, yeah, I also had the boot command worked out before I had the 1.54 Hboot. I guess this one doesn't allow 'just' booting a custom recovery!
A couple of months back I flashed my HTC One to a GPE Rom and then updating using OTA to Android 4.3 which was working fine.
Upon finding this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356654
I wanted to flash to 4.4 using it. I followed instructions and it said it installed fine.
However I'm no stuck in a boot loop.
I get the "HTc quietly brilliant" screen and then it reboots, and this loops.
I can hold down vol button and then select recovery but as soon as I do it reboots and I cannot get into recover. I've tried a few adb commands like adb reboot recovery etc. and it just says device not found. Any tips?

Before doing the flashing I was bootloader unlocked and was using clockwork mod if that is what you're asking.
You flashed a custom Google edition Rom or your converted your phone to Google edition (change cid,stock Rom,stock recovery) ?

I didn't change anything, just flashed a Rom to make it a GPE. I just installed clockwork mod and flashed the rom.
this is the name of the rom I used
bigxie_m7_GPe_JWR66V_odexed-signed
Maybe the 4.4 you flashed isn't compatible. I suggest you flash back that Rom or restore your nandroid backup if any

Reflash cwm or twrp. You need the latest version.
Then flash again ARHD 5.1 Rom and make sure you full wipe.

Same here. I even dunno how to flash a new recovery...i don´t have any access to the phone - only hboot...
Boot to bootloader. Choose fastboot and then connect your phone to PC.
Next step is to download the latest version of your favorite custom recovery and place it inside the fastboot folder. Open a command window and write fastboot devices to check that fastboot is working and then write the following:
Fastboot flash recovery filename.img

No. But you can use adb to transfer a Rom to your sdcard using adb push command

It won´t work...
I´m not able to mount/unmount system with theTWPR 2.6.3.0...but it´s the only recovery that works. I couldn´t even find the right cwm recovery...damn...
I'm was having the exact same problem, and I believe it's because you're S-ON like I am (says in the first green line of the bootloader)
Problem is try as I might (rum runner, Moonshine, revone) I cannot for the life of me get my phone S-OFF
Rum runner tells me there is no adb connection to the device, yet moonshine has no problem there and it's driving me nuts.
Until you can get S-OFF (and if you manage it let me know how) you'll more than likely have bootloop issues with that ROM

This one seems to be proper :
C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb push Android_Revolution_HD-One_4.1
_GE.zip /sdcard/Android_Revolution_HD-One_4.1_GE.zip
2282 KB/s (452221989 bytes in 193.456s)
..but after that,,,unable to open the zip file..and the best - the zip file has gone!!
Hmm..with TWPR I´m not able to mount the sdcard..maybe thats the failure...
I tried to return to stock using mike1986 instructions. ie, download stock Rom and put on sd and download stock recovery for fastboot flash.

Does that make any sense to anyone, if so, can anyone suggest anything ?

First off, Post a fastboot getvar all ( minus your imei no and serial no ).
Is your bootloader unlocked?

I've gone back to, backed up, ARHD62 so can't give you what you're asking for. Thanks anyway.
Reason I wanted to go back to stock was to get latest firmware when it's released then re unlock bootloader etc and flash ARHD71. NOT s-off.

BTW, a getvar can be gotten no matter what ROM you are on... it would help identify your device, and if you do want to stay S-On, perhaps find a signed firmware.zip for your phone.
Hi guys!

But somehow the phone stuck on fastboot usb when i boot to recovery via cmd command promp...
I got :

The "fastboot boot recovery.img" is not supported in hboot 1.54 to 1.61 (was only supported in 1.44). So you can't boot a recovery you must flash it over your stock recovery using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-2-m7.img":
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-2-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then reboot in recovery mode.

Nandroid backup of? It depends what is included in the backup.... if the data partition is included and there were a lot of things saved on the phone then yes it can be really big.... Normally id say around 1.5 gb is normal when its a stock backup without any user data.

Boot is the kernel and system is the OS. I would recommend to backup both of them. Boot isn't very big so it worth being backed up.

If you are going to use twrp's root make sure you have a recent twrp version otherwise it will flash an outdated SU version and cause a Bootloop. But yes it's a reliable method, if you prefer you can flash the latest supersu.zip file from twrp.
