[Q] Trying to restore stock firmware, aborted each time

Hey All, have google and googled for the past week but nothing specific to this issue I'm having.
I want to restore my stock firmware so I can get OTA updates! I didn't make any sort of backup when I began playing with different roms. I have htc_039 unbranded aus htc one. Bootloader has been unlocked with S-on and TWRP installed.
Downloaded Deevans/bugsys nandroid backup that matched my phone details (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41368105&postcount=375&nocache=1&z=2030115523399023) but there isn't any sort of instructions on installing these.
When i have tried to flash the rom I get "installation aborted" and when playing with fastboot it has given me messages that it cannot find certain .txt files (something like android.txt and a few other ones.
Could someone please tell me what im doing wrong or list the instructions to install this? I don't know if I have to lock the phone again, restore the recovery file first, no idea!!! Or is there anyway to turn the Android Revolution 12 image to get OTA (i dont think so)?
If you need any further phone info I will post.

Can anyone help with this?
When I try to flash the file in TWRP it starts and stops at "Updating partition Details".
What have i not setup right? Have been using these resources:

Hi,
I'm new to the htc one so not sure here but from what I understand and anyone please correct me if wrong - but if it's Deevans nandroid 1.29.980.2 (Australia unbranded) it's a CWM backup and I don't think they work in TWRP.
So think you would have to flash CWM, then flash "restore" nandroid from CWM or find a TWRP nandroid.
Also think you need s-off before you do ota as no way to gain s-off with revone on updated hboot 1.54 yet.
Hope this helps.

Thank for the reply
I have tried to install this with CWM which gave me those first missing ".txt" files. I will give it another go with CMW and post the results.
I will also S-OFF before doing the above.

Phone is now S-off and put CWM as the loader. Tried the zip file again and says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
I have also downloaded the file twice to confirm its not corrupted and it opens through winrar with no problems.
Any other suggestions?

I would try restore it like a backup, so unzip and put files in your CWM backup folder.
Not sure how CWM backup folder looks but in TWRP it's like /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/... or /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/...
So I would try unzipping and copy files (boot, data, recovery, system) to /sdcard/CWM/BACKUPS/folder/put files in here - then boot to recovery and try "restore" option and browse to backup folder. You could probably copy the files to any folder on the sdcard and restore from recovery not sure.

Thanks for your suggestion and that was going to be my next question. The file I mentioned in the first post is x.xxx.xxx.zip (x as the numbers) and inside that zip is a folder with the same name x.xxx.xxx and inside that folder are all the files.
I tried putting the folder only in CMW but wont detect it, tried it with the .zip file and fails. Have now just put all the files into the folder and tried again with same failure.
There is a very long error in the recovery.txt file it made, don't know if its any use but the first line that pops out is:
Starting TWRP 2.6.0.1 on Fri Aug 2 06:23:49 2013
BOARD_HAS_NO_REAL_SDCARD
I put the file into this link if you know of anything, makes little sense to me. http://pastebin.com/Tvp2Qp2X

Are you using TWRP recovery? or CWM recovery?

I have now tried both TWRP and CWM and fails, also have installed ROM manager and another one I cant recall from play store. Also booted into recovery and went to the 'restore' option from the menu but cant find any directories..
I dont know if this has anything to do with it but noticed in the contents of the file:
ARCHIVE: cache.ext4.tar
ARCHIVE: data.ext4.tar
ARCHIVE: system.ext4.tar
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar.a
data.ext4.tar.a
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
recovery.log
system.ext4.tar.a
system..ext4.tar.b
Not to get ahead of myself but HTC ONE is ext2or 3 by default, its not something simple as having to change it to ext4? Its just something that stood out.

Just done google search on CWM backup location and seems to be /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup - so you could try copy the zip and/or files there and try restore from CWM recovery and see if that works.

Interesting that there was no 'backup' folder inside that folder. Have created it and putting the files and zip in there now.
Was also googl'n and found this article:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/th...d-restore-error-while-restoring-sd-ext.15611/
Someone mentioned to now open the zip file when it downloads. I'll try your suggestions and this and let you know what happens tomorrow.
Thanks again

Morning,
Have downloaded the .zip file again twice and put it onto the SD and clockwork Mod backup folder and it has aborted again.
Any ideas on what to try from here?

[Q] CWM Recovery

Hi,
So I have placed a nandroid backup file in '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ yet when I reboot in to recovery, I can only see the backup file I created earlier, not the one copied across.
Does the file have to be named something particular ?

What do you mean by "backup FILE"? it should be a whole directory (ie folder) named something "yyyy-mm-dd.hh.mm.ss" (unless you rename it).
Are you sure it's in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ and not in /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/?

Thanks for your response,
Its in the following folder: /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/
the name is not in the format you suggested or similar to a previous backup. The backup file itself I have received from another forum member which I am attempting to use to restore to stock

You probably have to unzip the file you received on your PC, and then copy the folder to your phone.

what do you mean by "Zip Backup"? the backup is a folder called something like "2013-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss"
and that folder should be placed in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/
if it's a zip you downloaded off the net, then unzip it on your computer first, then push the folder to above location.

Its recognised as a zip on my PC although it cant be unzipped with 7zip or WinRar. if you go to manage and restore back ups in rom manager it lets you download a folder to your pc, cannot for the life of me figure out how to push it back to the phone so it can be recognised though.

1- what do you mean it can't be unzipped? where did you get it from
2- never used rom manager so no idea about that
3- use "adb push 2013-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/2013-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss" to get the backup onto phone

TWRP 3.1 uncompatible with TWRP 3.0.2-1

Hi Guys, why if I do a backup using TWRP 3.0.2-1 can´t use it after update TWRP 3.1? And if I do a backup using TWRP 3.1 the name of this backup begins with Life_Max? Can someone explain it to me?

The 3.1 twrp is a dirty port from life-max recovery, so that's why the name.
Backups usually don't go between recovery versions, without renaming or manually moving to proper folder structure for new version

this is mostly speculation, I have not done it. But these are the common steps.
1 make a backup with the new recover, so you have the right folder structure that the new recovery uses, (most of the time it is folder with device serial number in the name)
2. take your saved backup folder and add it to the folder made in step above.
example
/sdcard/TWRP/mxvrxxx******/backup-made-date-xx-xx-xxx
put old backup folder into the 3rd folder (from example mxvrxxx******)
EDIT:
OK I just did it.
The new 3.1 recovery makes it pretty easy.
the recovery directory is
/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/Life_Max
put your saved backup folder( the folder that has: boot.emmc.win, system.emmc.win etc) into the Life_Max folder, you can now restore your backup.

Please: were i found EFS folder in system, Oreo Roms?

TWRP ok, i create backup and i can restore too, but i need manage this EFS folder with root Explorer, whats the directory?
