[Q] restore to 4.2.2 after upgrading to 4.3 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I don't know if there are similar threads but here's the thing:
I have made a twrp backup of 4.2.2 venompie, I did a clean install of 4.3 ARHD, and now, I want to make a recovery to my old backup of 4.2.2
How to do it? Knowing that my HTC one is unlocked international version, rooted and s-off.
Thanks in advance

Flash latest TWRP and use a file manager to zip and move your 4.2.2 backup...?? Kinda vage on what ur askin tho,that seems kinda to "straight forward" but I would love a copy of that backup if u could be so kind??

I know the restore button dude, the question is, would there be any possible issues after restore? Any bugs?
if it is ok then I would go ahead and restore, a brand new HTC One costs these days man

no bugs, if you've backed up everything (system & data) using twrp, then it will restore all your ROM+apps+data+settings.
EDIT: better wipe dalvik and cache, before rebooting

Stuck on Paranoid Android Bootscreen! (noob) HELP

Hey everyone...
ive already tried to get some quick help already but i really need my phone tonight LOL.
iam running cm9 rom with the latest cm9 stable kernal, now i wanted to flash the hydrocore kernal to see if battery would improve, but it seemed fine but then choppy afew hours later so i changed back to cm9 kernal. Anyway after it rebooted it stayed on the paranoid android bootscreen! where you see the picture loading. i then tried to wipe the cache and dalvik and its still stuck. someone mentioned to do a wipe but i was unsure if he meant to a full wipe? as ive not wiped the factory reset, just the two caches! ive also flashed both kernals back and forth and im still stuck.
Its a simple issue iam sure but could someone help me, im unsure if i should do a full wipe including factory reset or just flash the cm9 rom again. if so can i have instructions step by step...
thank you.
islandmixed, you are on a safe kernel so there is no harm in performing a wipe data/factory reset.

A full wipe worked, it rebooted. since iam weiry about restoring my apps again via mybackup pro i might just check all my apps installed from google and install them one by one and then that way i wont have to worry about anything going wrong. i do have a backup from TB and mybackup but someone said it can cause issues when restoring to a cm9 rom!
Thanks for the help. iam back again at the start HEHE.

Oh I got it now. But why would any stock apps install? If the new rom will have its own stock apps. I didn't even know TB backed up stock apps. That makes it confusing to me

You know when I wiped data would it have wiped off the gapps? I'm sure I had more rom apps with this....hmmmm
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
wipe data is totally wiping what's in your phone.. including what's inside the system/apps, build props and framework...
you may need to flash back your g.apps if you want to get all of them and selectively selecting which to install back(rather than just restoring it from TB)
TB does not restore all what you have made a backup to.

Okay then I guess the factory reset only deleted user apps then. I was told it deletes system apps which is why I thought it deleted gapps.

I have a fully stock HTC one CID 02___001 which i can give you a nandroid from. All you will have to do is restore the nandroid, then manually flash stock recovery using fastboot and you will be back to stock and able to get OTA's etc. However i cannot do this till tomorrow evening for you, roughly this time ill post it for you.
If you happen to have a usb otg cable that can connect a mouse to your phone, you can restore a 4.1.2 backup. Then flash its recovery manually and use the mouse to get around the touchscreen not working and OTA your way back to 4.2.2 stock.
I will edit this post in about an hour once the 4.1.2 nandroid i have has uploaded(super slow uploads) and you can use it if needed.
The stock recovery you need to manually flash is in the nandroid. Just need to pull it out of the zip.
Hope this helps!

Sorry guys for the delay,
Here is the 4.1.2 backup, It was provided to me by Gandalf Greyhelm but in the spirit of XDA and helping ppl get back to stock im sure he wont mind it being passed on i will pop a PM over to him shortly.

If you are on hboot 1.54 you will need to restore in CWM > manually flash recovery from the nandroid.
Then use a usb otg cable and mouse to accept the ota as the touchscreen wont work.
I've been lazy in backing up my phone >pulling the backup > wiping phone> making clean backup of 4.2.2 > uploading > restoring.
I'll try and get it done a bit later tonight.
If you have the OTG cable the 4.1.2 backup > OTA is very effective worked great for me.

Moving from Sense 5 to CyanogenMod

Hi guys,
I am thinking of moving from the stock HTC software on my One to CyanogenMod, and i was wondering a few things:
1. How can i move all my stuff?
2. Will there be any issues installing as currently I am rooted?
3. How hard is it to install?
4. How hard is it to move back to Sense 5
Any help is appreciated!

1) With a full wipe before flashing the rom.
2) No... You must be rooted and unlocked (bootloader) for install it.
3) Easy, if you will read the instruction
4) The same of 3

Also if you use twrp, probably cwm too, a full wipe does not wipe /data/media. Unless of course you format the sdcard.

Hey sam, i am complete newbie and let me tell you, even for me it was super easy. the installation was a breeze.
i had done a full wipe and my contacts were already backed up with Google. So they synced perfectly. i just lost messages. but titanium should do it for you.
go ahead. the CM is really really fast. i am loving phone now. have installed Nova on it and its complete lag-free.
As others said, full wipe Only wipe the system files no file on the SD will be touched. I also suggest do a back up in recovery just in case.

[Q] CWM 6.0.4.3 taking FOREVER to backup or restore

I was trying to play around with KitKat 4.4 on my AT&T HTC One today. All the forums here said to install the very latest CWM, which is 6.0.4.3.
I did install it successfully. But compared to the old version, 6.0.4.3 takes about 30 minutes literally to back up my phone or restore.
I'm figuring I'm doing something wrong? Any ideas, hints or tips?

In TWRP you have the option of what to backup:
* Boot
* Cache
* Data
* Recovery
* System
(so if you want everything, you need to select all the options)
If you want to stick with CWM, 6.0.3.2 works fine (but you can't use it for 4.4 ROMs), here's a link:

I use the new cwm on 4.4 as u see xda app thinks I'm on a gt but I'm on a m919 and cwm works just super slow thanks for links I may downgrade I love that cwm backs up my APPS on top of everything else. After I restore it literally is a mirror image of right before backup. I always make backup before new mods that req root

[Q] Clean flashing before restoring nandroid.

Well i'm sure that I should know the answer to this question but.. if i'm on an aosp rom and I want to go back to the original sense rom should I play it safe and wipe anything before restoring the nandroid of the sense rom? If I recall correctly TWRP automatically wipes before restoring but i don't want to royally screw up since going from aosp to sense is pretty different lol.

Just to be on the safe side wipe before the nandroid but I don't think it is required. However, do make a nandroid of your current system and save it off the phone just in case.

Restoring nandroid will wipe each partition it is restoring, but to be on the safe side, backup your current system, data, and boot partitions, then wipe system, data, and caches then restore your desired nandroid. Wiping just to be sure won't hurt. I think of it like wiping your bum, wipe til you feel it is clean.

Word of Warning DO NOT use the "Format Data" option in twrp. Format Data will wipe your entire device. Rom, Kernel, Internal Storage everything. You'll be left with no Rom to boot and no backups or roms to restore.
Factory reset or wipe Data, cache, dalvick and even system partitions individually is fine.

But hitting the wipe, then advanced options and clicking data, cache, system and dalvik should be fine though id imagine. But thank you for that bit of info because it would be my luck for me to wonder what it does and figure out the hard way lol.

It happens a lot
When it's does happen it's not the end there are many ways to get a Rom back on the phone but it does complicate the issue somewhat. So I do like to point thas one out :good:

Sorry I'm not so familiar with CWM these days. Last time I used it was with my galaxy ace I think it was cwm 4 lol
I prefer the twrp ui over cwm .

Believe me I do as well but for whatever reason, I flashed cwm and backed up my stock sense ROM and then I flashed twrp. And I'm going to be returning this phone for a new one soon so I figured I'd go back to the stock ROM so I don't have much of a choice. But next time I'm definitely sticking to twrp lol. I think the backup I did for the first time on this phone it took an hour xD

Ahh I see well just avoid wipeing internal storage until after you've restored your stock Rom. And as @majmoz advises keep a backup of your nandroid on your pc. At least if it does get wiped you can always push it back to the phone
