[Q] Restoring stock recovery to Bell Inc S

I'm lucky enough to have an S-Offed Bell Inc S.
I notice that there are no RUUs for the Bell version available over in the dev. sticky.
Does that mean that I cannot flash a stock recovery if I flash clockworkmod?

I have been unable to find any Bell IS RUU, froyo or gingerbread. I do not believe it exists... it would be posted here if it was:

Me neither.
Anyone know if it is possible to use the recovery image from one of the other RUUs?

how'd you get s-off?

So your problem is that you want to be able to reflash your original recovery?
If that's the case, then you can simply dump it before you flash clockwork.
On Bell it must be the same emmc partitioning, but to make 100% sure do the following:
adb shell
and then cat /proc/emmc
it should print this:
dev: size erasesize name
mmcblk0p17: 00040000 00000200 "misc"
mmcblk0p21: 0087f400 00000200 "recovery"
mmcblk0p22: 00400000 00000200 "boot"
mmcblk0p25: 22dffe00 00000200 "system"
mmcblk0p27: 12bffe00 00000200 "cache"
mmcblk0p26: 496ffe00 00000200 "userdata"
mmcblk0p28: 014bfe00 00000200 "devlog"
mmcblk0p29: 00040000 00000200 "pdata"
You see "recovery" is mmcblk0p21.
Now first root your phone without flashing a custom recovery.
After you got root do the following:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/sdcard/bell_orig_recovery.img
then if you really need it you can simply flash it back:
dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 if=/sdcard/bell_orig_recovery.img

It's people like you that make me love XDA.
I have the Bell recovery image now, checked the memory size against the internal hex for safety. If anyone wants it for any reason, PM me.

Currently testing this out to see if it is compatible, has anyone had any luck. Its been on the xda front page for about a day
Modifying for Vivid Usage

Just letting you know we do have some batch file (automatic) kernel flashers. Better yet, we have a working kernel/recovery flasher that does it from an android app so it is computer (windows/mac/etc) independent. It even finds the kernel image in a Rom zip. That'd be great if you want to port it, but I don't want you to feel like you wasted your time.

My way is better. doesn't require fastboot/adb to be working or installed. I can port it if you get me the mount points for /sdcard while in recovery and /boot
This can be done by going into recovery, mounting the sd card, and typing "df" into adb shell.
Then to get the boot mount point, type "cat /proc/emmc" in adb shell while in Sense. Both commands are without quotes. Just PM me the copy and pasted output and I will whip up a port in a few minutes.

Gotcha, nice work. The more tools we can get, the better.

Well, I got it done (I think). You didn't get me the sd card mount point I needed, but I am assuming it is the same. The instructions are the same as those for the rezound.
I can't test it, so if it doesn't work, then it just won't work. The only issue that is possible is the sd card mount is wrong. If the script doesn't work, it DOESN'T pose a danger to your phone.
YOU HAVE TO SWAP OUT THE ZIMAGE IN THE FOLDER THOUGH, AS THERE IS A REZOUND KERNEL IN THERE. Worst thing that could happen with this is a bootloop and you would need to reflash your boot image with a backup or something.

[INFO]Partition List HTC ONE M8 / RAW DUMP SCRIPT

Hello Everyone,
I needed the partition read-out of the M8 and thought i can as well leave it here for you as a reference.
I might also extend this to a custom firmware section if no one else takes the job before (see my M7 stuff) once i got the phone.
Well anyhow, here's the list, it's not complete yet, i will further it with the names of the corresponding RUU images for who might find it helpful (should i get device and RUU's rather soon. If not this will be abandoned )
[EDIT]
IF you guys want to dump your brand spanking new M8 as a raw full dump (not sure a restore later works out but better have this, right? ) you can run this batch script, it will pull all partitions EXCEPT userdata (the "sdcard") first to SD and then to PC.
Run the EXE (its a self extracting WinRAR5 archive - i SWEAR its not evil! Its not gonna steal your pizza!
Its just a simple batch for now, the exe will only extract it to C:\Android\com. Then you can double click the batch script and it will attempt to pull the first 46 partitions as RAW material.
Its not really meant as a backup solution for average Joe, its more like giving you an easy method to create a (nearly) full dump of a (nearly) virgin device so there's a way back to (nearly) original state when we get S-OFF (a restore of this will never work with S-ON).
And its probably more a handy script for those of you who do the developing part here. You will know how to adjust the script so it runs wherever and does whatever, you may just use it as a repository of dd pull commands. Save you some typing
M8-Dumper (47 Partitions GSM model)
[EDIT]
Code:
echo. "HTC One / M8 FULL DUMP Script"
echo. ================================
echo.
echo. Warning: the DUMP on M8 can use many Gigabytes free
echo. space on the SDcard! Please make sure that you have
echo. at least 50% free space on your card.
echo. Since SDCard is now part of the /data Partition, i
echo. will not dump /data (around 10 GB) either.
echo. You also absoutely need to get a modified Boot.img
echo. with Insecure ADB added from somewhere or else this
echo. will NOT work!
....
This means: you need to Unlock, flash Custom Recovery, Root, flash Unsecure kernel before you can work with this script. So, Recovery, Boot and System will already be modified when dumping. The other 40+ partitions will be original.

Nice work, Sneaky, and yes, looking forward to you working your magic on M8 firmware! Waiting on my M8 Dev edition, should ship in a week or so. Really happy to see you here mate, cheers!

Not quite there yet. Still looking for cash or free devices
Could become June before I'll be able to buy it. We shall see.

Thanks for the Partition Table! I'll be using this in my toolkit!

Hey sneaky, good to see you here too. Will get my m8 tomorrow.

Yeah! Nice to hear that... Seems like virtually every dev with a name around here gets it. Gonna be a mad and exciting year.
Called my carrier today, they have it on pre-order as well now. I can have it for about 400 and keep the M7. So I'll sell that and get the M8 for about 100 quid including excellent two year service.
Thinking about it,I actually haven't paid that little for a good phone in a while
Expect me here within the month.

Not until S-Off iirc.

S-OFF first. Before that, no firmware packs whatsoever. Sorry.

Seen and retweeted it 25 minutes after they tweeted. While being half asleep in the middle of the night.
It's my birthday too soon. I'm going shopping then. Thank God some really nice people here already helped finance it a bit. Got about 10% now. That means I'll stick to what I said: I'll have it within the month (April).
[EDIT]
It's gonna be here Friday.
Some good people helped me out a bit, thank you guys.
Will start working here once I've achieved S-OFF. Hope I'm not gonna run into the fails many others have been seeing with firewater.

You have S-OFF?
I suggest you find yourself a copy of UltraEdit (buy it, its good!) and then head over to my M7 Firmware thread and look up how to edit your hboot yourself. If you stick EXACTLY to my instructions, its not dangerous. If you mess up, it is.
Like i said, i am NOT going to provide hboots i have not tested myself. Because with this file, there are two options only: either it works 100% or it bricks your device. Any error kills it. I am not going to modify it and let others test it. I would feel very bad. Sorry.
If you don't want to do that yourself, you will have to wait until my phone is here (hopefully friday) and then i can start working on it (if i manage to S-OFF it).

You have S-OFF?
I suggest you find yourself a copy of UltraEdit (buy it, its good!) and then head over to my M7 Firmware thread and look up how to edit your hboot yourself. If you stick EXACTLY to my instructions, its not dangerous. If you mess up, it is.
Like i said, i am NOT going to provide hboots i have not tested myself. Because with this file, there are two options only: either it works 100% or it bricks your device. Any error kills it. I am not going to modify it and let others test it. I would feel very bad. Sorry.
If you don't want to do that yourself, you will have to wait until my phone is here (hopefully friday) and then i can start working on it (if i manage to S-OFF it).

thanks for reply and again AUGURI
I'm a little bit afraid, and have a lot of time to await
so, next friday, next week ... when you receive your M8 and got S-OFF
I await you
Thanks again

Hi Sneaky.
I removed the red text myself, remembered when we did this together on the M7 in the very beginning.
When you want I can send you my orig.hboot and the altered one (3.16) by PM so you can use it. Oh and of course it works

[TOOL][WIP/RECOVERY]TWRP 2.7.0.x[OFFMODE CHARGING FIX]

This is a WIP(work in progress)..built from latest source(maintained)..this is untested since none of you wants to help..used the latest OTA images for some parts of the recovery(built it with dependency mode)
Grab the image here
for both S-ON and S-OFF:
- Grab the recovery image..
- Setup Fastboot tools and drivers..
- Reboot phone to Bootloader mode(pressing Volume down while powering it on and pressing on Bootloader option)
- Run command prompt on your fastboot directory by Holding Shift(keyboard) and pressing right click on your mouse..choose open command window here..
- Issue commands:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
- Then after finishing the previous command..
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [COLOR="Red"][I]image.image[/I][/COLOR]
note: where image.image is the filename of the recovery image you have downloaded..
- Reboot bootloader and try to enter recovery..and give yourself a HUG..if all goes well you will be greeted by the Teamwin screen and will enter the menu shortly..
Kindly test and give feedback.. if you like it a Thanks cannot be as harmful as it seems..it will keep me motivated to work things out for FREE..

they removed the offmode charging on kitkat..even on the HTC One,,if you want offmode charging downgrade your bootloader..can you dump me a last_kmsg and a recovery log from /cache/recovery.log or sumthin..
edit:

Thanks. Will try when I get my damn phone back from the service centre. After chasing everyday, it's finally repaired. Can I give your kernel a try?

Not even the new image works. Advice concerning the same: the phone will restart.

The update: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_1.08_003_release_403624_signed_2.exe (within which you have rom.zip)
The key file: http://goo.gl/MXyoel
The HBoot file: http://goo.gl/tec0Ph
The Boot image file: http://goo.gl/PHQqjp
The Radio image file: http://goo.gl/Axs0rK
If someone could do the same for a GSM version, like Cricket or Telus, would be great!

Hi,
Maybe if you post a method (guide) for extracting the HBoot file and the radio.img file, someone will be able to follow your guide and post these two files.
Just a suggestion...

Just a suggestion? You should bang my head with it until I do it... coming up in 1 minute!

Better late than never... I have been asking people to send me the HBoot file and Radio file from Cricket or Telus, but I have failed to detail how this should be done. moh19814 called me out on this and in good time he did. Here it is:
adb shell
su
mkdir /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/firm_backup/
cd /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/firm_backup/
cat /proc/emmc
Now, look at the listing (mine is at the bottom of this post) and find the blocks associated with what we want. In my case they were 11, 18 and 20. Continue, but double check before pressing ENTER...
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/firm_backup/hboot
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/firm_backup/radio_config
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/firm_backup/radio
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 of=/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/firm_backup/modem_st1
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p26 of=/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/firm_backup/modem_st2
ls -l
exit
exit
At this point I looked at my sdcard on Windows but I did not see the firm_backup folder. I properly ejected the phone, removed the usb cable from the computer, connected the phone again and the folder was there and within the folder there was the three files.
