I have already posted this on page 8 of the Super One click Root guide but alas I doubt it shall be seen which is why I am now posting it here:
This guide is really awesome. I get my revo tomorrow so I am trying to learn everything I can. I thought it was important to make backups before you root/unroot. Is this still the case? If so, why are there no instructions on when or how to make the backup.
I remember on the Eris I had to do a nandroid backup before I rooted so I could reload it if need be. Is that no longer the case with the revo? I don't want leave it rooted if I have to return it for warranty work.
Thanks for the help!

You can't make a backup if you're not rooted, because you need root in order to flash recovery.

Moving to General
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.
Hello, I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" running the downgraded 7.2.3 from KFFA. Then I used Hash's TWRP 2.6.3.1 + 2nd Bootloader thread to get Stock with TWRP but for whatever reason I can't seem to install a ROM that will boot past the "Blue" Logo.
My screen doesn't do the "White haze" that others have mentioned.
Still boots into recovery allowing for wipes + installs.
I have reverted back to 100% stock then made my way back to stock + TWRP three times now, and have looked rather extensively through any threads even somewhat relative to my own problem.
I've been using the Factory fastboot cable to get into fastboot if that makes any difference.
I have downloaded the GAPPs and ROM twice, and I have a very stable connection that hasn't given me issues before.
ROM is the same as from Hash's thread for TWRP + 2nd Bootloader. (cm-10.2-20131115-UNOFFICIAL-tate)
Have tried my cable from my Note 2, Captivate, Epic 4G Touch, and stock KFHD 7" cable as well as the factory fastboot cable.
Kinda stuck, have gone round like this for about 4 hours + now and I must say, the KFHD 7" has been the biggest pain out of any of my Androids by far xD Great tab though.
Any help would be much appreciated. I could always just run stock, but, I'd really like to have CM 4.3 or 4.4 based on my device.
Thanks!
If I left out anything, please, let me know and I will respond ASAP.

You have no OS and that's why it won't boot past TWRP. Go into TWRP and adb sideload a ROM onto TWRP and flash it and boot into system. You should probably read a bit before just posting. The link answered your question.

If I restore my stock rooted OS via TWRP it boots up just fine . . .
The problem I have is after flashing any ROM's I can't get past the blue logo.
But I'll try what you are saying just for kicks.

You need to check the zip and make sure it did not get corrupted during the download. Goo.img is updating their servers and downloads can be corrupted. Try downloading from the crackflasher mirror. Make sure it is the ROM for your year and model Kindle Fire HD. You also need to update your TWRP to 2.6.3.1 right away, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 Before you flash, factory "swipe" then flash ROM then wipe Dalvik/CACHE then boot into OS. Just drag and drop ROM onto internal SD card before booting into TWRP.

Oh boy lol, let me just correct everywhere you went wrong, cause I've tried to be nice, but I can't let you get away with not even reading the OP.
"You never said you could access an OS." ---> "I could always just run stock"
"You simply said you could not get past TWRP" ---> "Then I used Hash's TWRP 2.6.3.1 + 2nd Bootloader thread to get Stock with TWRP but for whatever reason I can't seem to install a ROM that will boot past the "Blue" Logo." (PS: Being stuck at the "Blue logo" is much different then not being able to boot and being booted into TWRP.)
"You need to check the zip and make sure it did not get corrupted during the download." ---> "I have downloaded the GAPPs and ROM twice, and I have a very stable connection that hasn't given me issues before."
"Goo.img is updating their servers and downloads can be corrupted. Try downloading from the crackflasher mirror." ---> That was where I downloaded from the second+ time I downloaded the ROM.
"Make sure it is the ROM for your year and model Kindle Fire HD." ---> "ROM is the same as from Hash's thread for TWRP + 2nd Bootloader. (cm-10.2-20131115-UNOFFICIAL-tate)"
"You also need to update your TWRP to 2.6.3.1 right away," ---> "Then I used Hash's TWRP 2.6.3.1 + 2nd Bootloader thread to get Stock with TWRP"
So, I just copied and pasted all that from you post, and my OP.
So, let me quote you again from another post you made in my thread.
"You should probably read a bit before just posting." READ THE OP BEFORE TRYING TO HELP MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA!!! x'D
Thanks for attempting to help though, much appreciated.

Well, now you're just flat out being an ass. I've been rooting my phone ever since my G1, definitely not a noob, and I wouldn't have asked for help if I didn't need it and if I hadn't already searched a ton.
I've been here longer then you, just an FYI. Also, your grammar is horrid.
I really wish trolls like you weren't allowed on XDA but man, can't control you guys.
PS: Don't get mad and call me a noob just cause you can't read x'D
EDIT: Linear has been added to my ignore list so if he does reply I don't have an urge to argue with him some more.
Biggest problem here Linear is that you really, really need to learn how to read an OP before posting help.
Thanks!

Like I said, do some searching first and you'll get there if you implement some reading skills. For being here so long, you still act like a n00b.
As to the troll comment. I have received 169 thanks in a few short months and you have 17 yet you have been on here here almost 3 years. Way to give back to the community, take a bow.

I give back to the community by offering free Android and iPhone modding in my area, and free support via text and email.
Plus I make sure to tell them to check out the Dev's thread or website and to consider donating to the people who make the magic happen.
The only service I make people pay for is electronic repairs which is a flat rate of $20 + customer buys the parts.
So I think I give back to the community at least a little seeing as I have at the least 20+ people a month asking for help cause some idiot installed a unstable ROM on their phone and 4G vanished or other problems.
By the way, since we are laying our d*cks on the table, might I add that boasting about how many "Likes" you have or "Thanks" isn't something to be proud of, you earned them yes, but don't shove that in other peoples faces, that's just childish.
Thanks again for trying to help.
OK before this turns into a flame war, lemme ask something. Did you factory reset and wipe the system partition before flashing the cm ROM?

OK now for the stupid question, I saw you said it runs a 7.x.x os, just wanted to verify that you are sure of this. I know that kinda a noob question but I have to ask to double check things. Also have you tried flashing cm 11?

You have a 2012 kfhd
You can get into twrp
Nothing will flash
Odd
We have another person that can't get a restore to take. I've always wondered if it was a formatting issue for him...
But if you were to hand me this kindle I would restore from the restore tool not kffa then I would follow hash codes install 2nd boot loader + twrp thread .
If you've tried that I'm at a loss

I did verify that it is on stock, rooted, de-self updater-ed, 7.2.3. It was on 7.3 something originally.
Hellfire flashed over just fine, CM 10.1 (I think) Flashed it, booted KindleFire (Orange) then (Blue) then Boot logo Booted pretty fast too.

Yes, 2012 KFHD 7" (Tate)
Yes, TWRP works fine.
No, I got Hellfire to flash, but so far nothing else will flash 0.o :/
Also, I did all my restores from KFFA, BUT, I did do a original backup via ADB and did a restore via Fastboot thinking it might have been KFFA but no go still.
And yes, the thread kinda goes to poop cause I was already kinda upset cause this has been the most frastrating Android to work with, and then the pressure got compounded just cause I decided to ask for help :/
If any of this info helps, please let me know, I believe Hellfire is CM 10.1 . . . I believe, that's off the top of my head though.
Thanks!
To be honest I've only installed kinology... Wife won't let me get rid of the kindle os. I didn't really needed kinology but I wanted to update and did not want to reset it up again. He basically ran a neater version of what I was doing.

surpisingly the answer is no. You can backup the recovery partition and the bootimg but thats about it, the system partition is bigger than the ammount of ram the kindle has, and fastboot stores the image in the ram when flashing, luckily theres a utility that can restore your kindle if it bricks, it flashes a smaller system image first thats incomplete but has enough thtere to get adb shell access, then pushes a amazon ota onto the device and forces it to update thus providing you with the full os.
Help me out?
Hey man. Sorry this isn't an answer to your question. But how did you root your 11.3.2.2? Im just having the worst time trying to find out how. If you'd answer this, you'd have my many thanks.
I thought the old method involving a fastboot cable worked. If not try downgrading the os and rooting it.

I guess you mean a nandroid backup. Loosing this aint bad as you can still flash any stock rom. But you'll have to install all your apps again and all your settings will be lost.
If you've lost your TA-Partition backup you won't have any chance of warranty.
Next time post your questions in the Q&A Section instead and please read the forum rules.
