You could just flash the full firmware from here. It includes the stock recovery.
EDIT: It helps if I post the link!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856

Is it OK to extract the recovery.img and flash that by itself? Reason I ask, me and my buddy r @work right now, no access to fastboot, this is actually for him, I have a Verizon m7 and he has a sprint. He wants to take the OTA and doesn't have a backup of his stock recovery, and once I find this recovery for him I'm gonna use flashify to flash it (I know, not the preferred method here on xda, but I've done it many , MANY times before).
So I can just extract the recovery.img and flash that by itself, correct?

I thought about that, but I've never done it before so I didn't want to suggest it. My guess is that if the phone is s-off, it should work.

So.
Since I dont want a Vodafone-altered android on my phone I decided to unlock my N1.
As far as I understood, it is possible to flash the latest OTA manally with the unlocked bootloader.
I dont want any alternative recoverys so far, since i want to keep the android stock for now.
Can someone please provide a short description how to do this? All guides i found require an alternative recovery image.
Thanks so far.

Just download a stock image like ERD79 from here. Then extract recovery.img from that and flash it to your phone with the command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
Now download the OTA for FRF91 from Google. Put it on your sdcard and rename it to update.zip.
Flash that with the "Apply update.zip" from recovery. There should be several guides for manually applying OTA-updates available. After flashing the stock recovery from ERD79 you can follow those guides.

sorry if this is a newb question, but I have done some searching, and was not able to figure out a clear answer:
For an at&t branded htc one, do we need s-off to be able to flash radio updates when the become available via .zip; flash-able thru recovery?
and if yes, has anybody tried this already without s-off?
Thanks for the insight!

Sorry to reply here. But I cannot reply in development forum.
Could anyone kindly send me a link talking about the procedures to flash the radio? I searched a lot, but they always say flash via recovery, which i have no idea what it is.
BTW, do I have to flash the radio every time when I flash a new rom? Thanks in advance.

REcovery is an app that you can flash to your phone. IT is use mostly to make system backups, and flash apps roms etc etc. search for twrp recovery, learn how to install it, youll have to unlock bootloader and root phone then install recovery. then flash it with recovery, in the install section. no you dont have to flash radio everytime you flash a rom. radio is one thing rom is another.
Thank you both. I think Ive got some sense now. I would try flash radio via fastboot.

haha you're welcome mate
Hi, I have been searching for almost a week now and i just can't find my RUU file, i need 1.29.111.11.
It's mainly that or i need to know how to update my phone because i can't update it to 4.2.2, since each time i download and try to install the
update, the phone will restart and boot up twrp.
So maybe someone knows a way around all of that, but i really hope someone can atleast just help me.
Thanks in advance.
PS: i'm kinda new to all this so sorry if i might look like an idiot...

If you can't find the recovery!! just download the OTA of the rom on your phone (maybe this one if you are cid:HTC__01: OTA_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_3.62.401.1-2.24.401.8_release_338160gxmo5sd9337kadux.zip )and open it with winrar and you will see the firmware.zip file inside then unzip it and then you have the recovery!! I hope you understood!
EDIT:
Try this one JB_4.3_cid_HTC__01_recovery.img http://w w w36.zippyshare.com/v/74928886/file.html

Don't forget to fastboot flash the boot image, and you'll need to download SuperSU and flash the zip after you flash the ROM for it to boot up completely.

Thanks Captain...how do you fastboot flash a .zip file? never done that before...I have flashed a image file but not a zip. I have downloaded your rom and waiting to make sure I flash your 0P6BIMG_m8whl_2.16.651.4_boot_kexec-hardboot_patched.zip correctly before moving forward. Also will any SuperSU zip file work on the phone?

You don't need that zip file. Just extract to boot.img from the ROM zip. The zip file is specifically for MultiROM support.

I thought you wanted to flash an older base ROM? If so, you wanted to choose a 1.xx base ROM from the thread. Perhaps that's your issue.

Yes I did to get it going. What would I have to do to get the 2.xx rom going? Or do I need to just get it running first on the old version? I really do appreciate all the help!

Flashing the 2.xx base ROM requires updating your firmware. You needed an older stock ROM so you could S-OFF and do update it, correct? I thought that was the original issue?

Yes you are correct. I got ahead of myself. I am downloading the older stock now and hopefully can get that running and then will attempt to s off and put this behind me. Believe it or not I have rooted the evo, lte, one7 and now first time messed up with the m8. You would think I would know a little more and not have made these mistakes.
