[Q] HTC M7 Dev Edition *Factory Rom Lost*

Hey everyone new poster to the forums here . Have a question about loosing the stock ROM for my HTC M7 Dev edition. I made the backup but I think when I formatted I formatted more then I should have because when I pull up TWRP recovery mode to restore a backup nothing is listed in the window. However when I go into the internal storage in windows on my computer with the phone connected and look inside HTC One\Internal storage\TWRP\BACKUPS I found a folder called HT34GW9xxxxx and a sub directory with a date on it and it looks like the date that I did the flash in the first place. That folder also has 13 files in it equaling out to 4.25GB in size. So basically what I'm getting at is how come I can see this folder here but not in recovery and even if I could see it in recovery this seems like it's not large enough to be HTC Sense 5.0 according to this thread and the downloads attached to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248997&highlight=nandroid
Also speaking of that thread considering the original M7 Dev rom is gone can I use that thread to restore my phone even though I am using TWRP and not clockwork. I'm not the greatest at these type of things, I don't want to brick my phone, and I never have enough time invest in this stuff. If I knew this was going to happy I probably wouldn't have done it in the first place lol.
Thank you in advance and sorry if this has already been talked about, I did a search but I must have skipped over it if it was already out there :\.

Thank you for the help. A follow up question would be is there a place to get someone's previous backup and download it like the link I put up in the previous posts user did. I really don't want to lock the boot loader and I would love to just be able to easily get Cyanogenmod back on the phone easily. Reason being is that right now the Cm camera just isn't up to pay with the Sense camera software and if I go to an event like I am tonight I would like to be able to swap back and fourth.

TWRP and CWM backups aren't compatible with each other. You'd have to flash the relevant recovery to use a corresponding backup.
You still have your backup though. You said as much in your OP. You just need to go into TWRP settings and specify the default location for your backups.
As mentioned above however, you can just flash the official RUU to return to stock

Thanks a ton!
Just wanna say thanks to the both of you for your help. I went with option 2 for now because I want to switch back to CM after the Cardinals MLB game tonight. I never lost the backup and you were right I just had to find the folder. It was weird I didn't see any button to search for a folder kinda odd how TWRP is layer out in that interface. Yet I found the backed up file and took about 10 minutes from start to finish. The device is still unlocked to so I can reflash CM when I'm ready.
A little off topic but does anyone know what the difference between the GSM Cyanogenmod ROMs and the AT&T ROMs are? I have the Dev version but flashed the AT&T version and it ran fine made calls and had no data transfer issues at all.

Ok so I actually started having issues after that last post. What was happening was I kept getting this HTC system update my guess the Camera software update but whatever. So I clicked on the update now and it downloaded like normal then reboot. After it reboot it booted into TWRP recovery well at that point I didn't know what to do so I just went a head and rebooted into System. Well here is where the issue started it said again system update avalible ok great install, same deal it just booted back into TWRP after the download. Back into system I went and again same thing.
At this point I desided to go into TWRP and do a system restore and I thought that worked cause it wasn't notifying me immediately after the launcher loaded to install the update. So I checked for it manually and of course there was one. Tapped on Install it downloaded and asked to reboot so I did...
SAME ISSUE AHHHHGGG! Lol
This will be the end of me haha.
Is there something I'm missing here? Can I not have root access or a a third party boot loader like TWRP or both modifying the system. What am I missing?
Ok thanks again, sorry for the multiple posts I'm just so frustrated at this point.

This my very wild guess. Try flashing stock recovery first and then install the OTA update again. That's just my wild guess I'm not saying it will 100% work.

No luck

Nope no luck

Hopefully this helps..
What I did find was this link here...http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc...ml#post2827047 that's where someone else is having the same issue but on Sprint I'm guessing. So that doesn't really apply to me. However a poster further down the thread gave another link to all these "nandroid?" files. I'm not really sure what a nandroid is haha I'm such a noob at this. Basically what they are saying is that unrooting it then i guess somehow putting this "nandroid" file on it somehow. Anyone have any idea on this. I'm terribly sorry for my noobishness but I'm trying to learn all this and it's really frustrating at first..
Here's the link to the nandroid files. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2207874 funny thing is that I actually found that link on Android Central website so that I could come back here and repost about it again heh. Anyways does that look like something that might fix the issue that I'm having?
Even if this file does help I have no idea what to do with it but that first link seemed to have some video's attached to it although I worry about following them because it's for Sprint and I really don't want to brick my phone. (another reason I am being so careful) You pay over 600 dollars for a device you tend to be super careful with anything you do with it.

Sorry about that.

All fixed!!
Ok so I got it. I ended up finding this http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unrootunbrick-the-htc-one-to-stock-2/
Worked great fixed everything. Linked to the RUU on HTC Dev website also so its official.:good:
So basically if Anyone need to restore to factory from a mess they have made follow this guide it works perfectly and he does an execelent job of describing how to do it in a video he posted step by step.

Very Urgent help needed - Stuck in bootloader

I flashed Revolution HD, the latest version and when the phone re-booted it went to bootloader.
I managed to flash TWRP again and im in there, however I need to put a ROM on the phone and cant copy one on there
any ideas? adb says device not found, not sure if im doing something wrong

try fastboot devices

You can try this to sideload a rom.

Okay, managed to get ADB working. For some reason it doesn't work on USB3 ports :S
Sideloaded a ROM, but I got no network signal, and it restarted itself within about 2 mins.
I have re-locked, and am running RUU now, if this doesn't work what shall I do?

Okay the RUU worked fine. Thanks for the help guys!

Latest versions on intl. roms are 4.2.2. They won't work on sprint. Since there is no sprint support the updater script wipes our radio and boot partition because they have a different partition table than we do. It's just f.y.I so you know what went wrong

Yeah I realised, but the text in the post is VERY misleading.

Maybe its just me being crazy, but I assumed anything later would work, to me that sounded like everything below 9.4 would not.

Diddo
The exact thing happened to me!!! the ARHD posts are very misleading!! I also had to do a RUU on it.. it made me made cause i really wanted that rom. Have you found any other ROM with 4.2.2 that will work with sprint htc one? I cant find anything.

CM12 rom for the CDMA(Verizon) Variant of the One Mini 2

The One remix has S-off and root now thanks to the sunshine team. how hard would it be to get cyanogen mod onto this device?

It shouldn't be that difficult since you now have S-OFF. Only patches will be required IMO to get it running, so you should request u-ra(the developer of CM12 for our device).
Did you try to flash the current build?

I'm also curious about this too, but I am not in a position to flash the current build right now...
Somewhat off topic, is there something I have to do to the stock firmware to get root to stick after running Sunshine? Flashing the zip in twrp doesn't work...

I used SUInstaller from the same guys who do sunshine. worked fine for me.
How did you get TWRP installed? I can't seem to get it to work.
As for installing the current build, not really sure I want to do that, since I don't have a backup phone to use right now.

I had to use a different TWRP from the official website for the HTC One Remix. I can't seem to get SU installed... The package from the Sunshines guys just reboots my phone and doesn't do anything, while flashing through TWRP has no errors, but doesn't do anything either...
This is where I got TWRP:

That's where I looked too. did you do the fastboot install? I'm trying the app from the store, but it doesn't list the device.
also, interesting. the SUInstaller worked on mine, but it is hit and miss. not sure how to root it otherwise.

Yes, I just did the fastboot install. Just realized I wasn't following the SUinstaller instructions preoperly. Works now!

glad to hear!
ill have to do the fastboot TWRP when I get home.
not sure what is needed for the One Remix to get CM12 support. HTC has the kernel source for the M7 and M8 online(and even the one Max), but not the remix.

It doesn't seem like a whole lot should be done. The hardware ought to be very similar to the HTC One Mini 2, just has to be adjusted for CDMA rather then GSM.
I tried to flash the current CM 12 build, but TWRP complains about the code-names not matching, and the update script failed. I then had to restore from a backup to get it to boot up to the original firmware.

Could everyone please stop suggesting One Remix owners try flashing One Mini 2 stuff? It's not gonna work. Ever.
While they probably share >90% of the same features, they're not the same device.
One Remix won't be getting CM builds until someone starts working on it. Given that CM has a policy of not maintaining devices you don't own, it's not gonna be me.

what is needed to work on a build? I would be interested, but not sure If i need kernel source or device specific drivers. neither of which HTC dev supplies for the One Remix.

It doesn't appear to be much. I've been digging through the CM Porting Guide, and specs on the phones and they appear pretty similar. They both have the same SoC (Qualcomm Snapdragon 400) and GPU (Adreno 305), but the Remix has 1.5GB RAM instead of 1GB. Haven't had a chance to compare the partition schemes, but Verizon might have made them different... Some things need to be changed in the source of the Mini 2 to make it compatible, but the Kernel should be fine.

What about the Radios? does the difference in Radio CDMA vs GSM change anything major. I'll take a look at the porting guide and see if I can get something booted.

https://github.com/kfechter/android_device_htc_memwl
I forked the memul build of CM and renamed it. any help in grabbing stuff from the Remix would be great (kernels, drivers, recovery images)

One more update.
I've asked HTC for kernel source for the one remix. hopefully HTCDev actually comes through and provides it. hopefully also for Lollipop.

I don't think there is a separate kernel source for the Remix. On the cyanogen wiki for the HTC One Mini 2, they are just using the kernel source for the M8. That should work fine for the Remix also.

I did see that. I've been editing the build files and device information that I forked from the one mini 2 device repo. I've been having issues with the repo sync for actual cyanogenmod though(my repo is just the specific device properties). I'll work on it when I can, but I'm also working on intelligent vision stuff and schoolwork.
Also, Need to figure out what to change to get the CDMA radio support, and need to grab the partition tables from my device.
Is there somewhere I would be able to restore the stock rom from in case something goes horribly wrong?

Yes, in TWRP you can make a backup of your current partitions (It just dumps the current partition to IMG files), then if you have a problem you can just restore back from those files.

First, download the TWRP build from the TWRP website, the one in this forum is for the Mini 2 and won't work with the Remix. Then boot your phone into fastboot mode and run "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" on your computer. Then reboot, and after when you select recovery from the bootloader it should open TWRP.

When I boot into fastboot usb, i enter the command to flash recovery and it says error cannot load twrp.img BUT when i type the same command but add USB after fastboot it loads the commands list. Still cant get it to load. The file name in the Android-adb file is twrp.img as well. Ive done everything correct as far as I know. Any input would be appreciated. thanks.
---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------
I figured it out.
Went into file Android-adb and did shift right click open command window here. typed the command and it worked on the first try. now its time to develop a rom and make this phone worth something!

[Q] (64 bit) no rom

Hi today i decided to unlock and root my fone due to the amount of ads i was getting from various apps.
so i proceeded to follow the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/general/guide-how-to-unlock-install-recovery-t2988292
having followed that i unlocked and rooted my fone and started looking at roms having no idea that there are no 64bit roms. im now stuck with no OS on my fone i have tried to go back to stock but Philz touch 6 keeps telling me that the MD5 check has failed is there anything i can do im in desperate need of my fone asap.
im hoping someone can help me or point me in the right direction or show me what i have over looked and call me an idiot.

Need to reinstall phone

hey guys, Just trying to get my bearings on where to start. A friend game me a HTC Desire 510 that was not loading for him. Just sticking on the HTC loading screen.
He managed to "unlock" it. Not sure if it has root access.
In anycase it will not loal anymore, stuck on HTC load screen. I followed a few threads and tried to reset/restore things but now it looks like i need to just reinstall the OS.
Where I am lost is where/can i get the stock OS for this phone?
If not , do i need to get root access, load in a bootloader and then load in a custom ROM?
last time I did all this before was 2 years ago on a Samsung so I am a little rusty on the steps.
details
HTC Desire 510 - europe (Irish)
HBOOT - 3.19.0.0000
Radio 01.02.012
When I load up the bootloader I have "Sofrware status: Officaial *** at the tope and UNLOCKED under that.
Cheers

check the htc website for the latest rom(update) also this thread is sprint/virgin/boost

id see if the htc site works first but thats just me.
hope i was of help to you with your issues if not wait for more experanced members to assist.

Are you in Europe? If you are that's most likely a 64 bit phone and you'll need Philz Touch Recovery unless you have one installed. You'll also need to find a 64 bit stock HTC desire 510 rom.. It should work after installing them.
Edit: The HTC websites rom updater will not work since the phones boot is unlocked.. Just try what I said above.

Yes I am in Europe.
Will give what suggested a go and let you know..

Ok guys , getting around to trying this now but running into some small problems.
Question 1
I have installed adb.exe and it does work with my main phone (HTC m8) but when i plug in the broken phone it does not pick up that phone (when i do a ">adb.exe devices") I saw some comments saying that I need to enable debug mode but how can I do that when i cannot even load the phone up ?
Question 2
I would like to install this Philz Touch Recovery , so i can installed the new RUU but I see on some sites that I need to install ClockworkMod first. Now I am not sure if this is needed or not but i still have the problem of being unable to install it from the bootloader screen. There is no option to install from zip? So this might sound like a real n00b question but how can install anything to my phone when all i have it the bootloader screen. My options when i boot up are . . .
Fastboot
-->HBOOT
-->RAMDUMP
-->REBOOT
-->REBOOT fastboot
-->power down
recovery
factory reset
simlock
check smartSD
image CRC show barcode.
Review. . .
I would think my issue is with the broken phones connecting to my laptop and the use of adb.exe. If I could get that working i can use adb.exe to installl clockworkmod and from that I can boot up the phone and install Philz Touch Recovery, and then using phils installer I can install the original 64bit Rom and be in business?
does that seem right?
Cheers

Well now that you say that. I am having a strange issue. The phone will boot but only when I select "recovery" mode from the bootloader?
I presume what I have done is flashed the wrong image to the wrong section. I think i need to to flash something to boot and not to recovery when I was running the "fastboot flash recovery image.img!"
ideas?

I don't get what you're trying to do. If you wanna get back up and running, all you have to do is relock the bootloader and run the RUU... That's it. Your recovery doesn't matter. You don't need a custom recovery for that. Any custom recovery you have will be replaced by the stock one when you run the RUU.
I haven't been on this forum much lately, (so please correct me if I'm wrong, somebody) but from what I remember, the only custom recovery available for the 64-bit variant 510 is Philz. If that's the case then you shouldn't be flashing CWM

Yes you seem to be correct . I locked the bootloader and then used the command "fastboot flash boot <htc_orginal_ruu>" and it started working again.
I had lots of issues trying to get the CWM installed . It was someone else on this thread that suggested that but I think that info was wrong.
And just to conform for others that may read this someday you do not need Phils recover if you want to get the original system running. if you want to install custom ROMs then you need it then.
Thanks for the input. Half the time its just good to write out your problem so you can understand.

I did say you needed philz touch recovery if you have a 64 bit phone and you never really answered the 64 bit question and I asked because you said you are in Europe (Irish) and if you do have a 64 bit phone then you do need philz if you want to use other roms like the rest (most) of us on here do.

Yeah it was a 64bit phone.
I wanted the original OS back on the phone so that is why i did not need phils tool.

I kinda figured all that out on my own already but why do you just want stock? Why don't you want a rooted phone so you can do a lot more with it?

Yes you seem to be correct . I locked the bootloader and then used the command "fastboot flash boot <htc_orginal_ruu>" and it started working again.
I had lots of issues trying to get the CWM installed . It was someone else on this thread that suggested that but I think that info was wrong.
And just to conform for others that may read this someday you do not need Phils recover if you want to get the original system running. if you want to install custom ROMs then you need it then.
Thanks for the input. Half the time its just good to write out your problem so you can understand.

I've read through this entire thread more than 3 times and I never once seen anyone in this thread tell you to run CWM(ClockWorkMod).. or to even use that so where did get that idea from... The only thing I suggested was Philz Touch Recovery as did @Surj138 for a good reason cause it's the only one that's 64 bit for your phone!

It was from other threads that I read to install Phils recovery I would need install CWM but I think now that is for other phones. I said it was in this thread by mistake.
As for going for the original ROM as opposed to a custom ROM my reasoning is three fold. . . .
1. This phone will not be staying with me. Will be giving it back to my friend who is giving it to his daughter. She is would have no use for a root phone.
2. The last time I was using custom ROM was with my Samsung S2 about 3 years ago. I did like all the extra features, free apps and full customization that you can do with it but I did find that no matter what custom ROM I found there would be little problems with each one. Performance would slowly drop the more i switched around the custom ROMS.
3. Custom ROMs are great and all but we cannot be 100% sure there is not hidden male-ware in some of them that is robbing my data. It was going to be a spare phone for playing games then i would not mind but to give to someone as there main phone is not the best option.
