HTC Original ROM Backup from TWRP
TWRP 2.8.1
SuperUser 2.78 (see Attachment)
HTC Root PC and Mac (DRIVERS, ADB, Fasboot, ETC)
Stock Recovery 2.16
Thnaks!
Been on a looping bootloader whenever I tried to go back to stock. I've had to use custom roms for weeks, but your Nandroid did the trick! Much Thanks :good:
Hello, how did you do the backup ? i'm using twp but it doesn't reconize the backup files
I extracted them, and put them on my SD card, i've also put the zip file but still nothing.
Help
thanks

I'm not too experienced in flashing roms so please have some patience with me.
I recently installed the ota update from htc and then unlocked the bootloader through the official htcdev site. I then flashed clockworkmod recovery through fastboot and flashed cm7 through CWM. I'm still running cm7 at the moment.
However, I am now not able to restore my phone back to the stock rom. I tried to restore the stock rom through a backup I did on nandroid in CWM. It went through all the steps and told me that the backup has been successfully restored. But after choosing the reboot phone option, the screen shows the white HTC screen, followed by a black screen for a couple of seconds, then the white HTC screen again, and then it finally brings me to CWM.
I'm not sure what I can do to restore my phone to stock rom. I went back to cm7 and tried to restore using ROM manager but it didn't work out too.
Help please!

I have the same issue, I have a feeling about the cause but it is just a brainstrom. I could be wrong.
It might have something to do with ext4 vs ext3 file system. Custom roms usually format your phone in ext4 format while the stock rom only supports ext3
I would try and search a a format script that formats in ext3. (zip file format so you can flash it through clockwork or something)

With the unlocked bootloader, when the device is in recovery mode, it cannot overwrite the boot.img partition. So when you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you must manually extract the boot.img file from the zip file and flash it manually in Fastboot mode using the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
In the case when you are attempting to restore a previous backup, the same is true, except in this case you would manually flash the boot.img from the CWM backup folder in Fastboot mode.
This should solve both of the situations you have encountered.
Okay that method worked a charm. Just flashed back the stock rom.
Thanks for much for that!

Weird, didnt work for me. Dit you manually flashed the boot.img extracted from the nandroid backup?
Yup. So i took the backup from my sd card and put the backup onto my computer. Then I used clockworkmod recovery to restore the backup, and then used fastboot on the computer to manually flash boot.img through usb.
Hope that helps
Cannot restore with the procedure.
I have been trying to restore stock rom but I'm unable to do it.
I flashed boot.img using command prompt.
Restored it via Clockworkmod recovery but after restoring when i reboot the phone, it again takes me to recovery mode.
What should I do?
Maybe it is because you have changed the backup name.. I heard that if you change the stock from backup name you will wreck the md5sum ...

No..I have not changed anything.
I even tried formatting it in ext3 using Touch recovery and then tried to back up..but it didn't work.
It just keeps on taking me to recovery mode when I reboot.
Why don't you guys get s-off? I'll post a link when I'm on my PC on how to do it. That way, you won't have to flash the boot.img each Time you install a new rom...

Hello, I tried with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" took the boot.img from the backup and then I did a restore but it always goes into recovery mode, what else can I do?
Hello All,
Sorry if this has already been solved before, and thanks in advance for help. (I tried to post this in the ARHD41.0 thread, but as a newbie I cannot post there.)
I have an HTC One (AT&T) that had been updated to 4.3 OTA, then unlocked via htcdev, flashed with CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery, and then rooted with the Superuser zip on the CWM site. The device remained S-On. Made a backup through CWM recovery, transferred that to my PC, then figured I might as well celebrate the holidays by flashing my first ROM.
I downloaded the Android Revolution HD 41.0 ROM (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023), transferred to the SD, and then installed the zip through the CWM ROM manager (it seemed at least from what I read in the posts that followed that the ROM worked just fine with CWM). After going through the option selection process (I believe that this was the Aroma installer), I opted to wipe data since I was starting from a different ROM altogether (of course, silly me, this also wiped the backup on the SD). Seemed to install just fine, booted into what appears to be some part of the recovery where it asked if I wanted to root, I selected yes, and the phone rebooted.
Or, at least, tried to. It has been stuck at the beginning of the boot, where there is a white background with the HTC logo and "quietly brilliant" underneath, and it remains stuck there. If I press power and volume down for an abnormally long time, I can get into the bootloader and the recovery from there, but rebooting from there just leaves me at the boot screen again. As I said, there is no backup on the SD for me to restore. When in bootloader, I connected to the PC and fastboot turns to fastboot USB, but adb isn't showing anything when I enter abd devices.
I'm sure I probably did something very silly and am missing something very simple, but given that this is my first time, I have no idea what it is and how to go about fixing it.
Thanks again for all your help!

You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 or latest version (2.6.3.4) recovery!
Some members successfully flashed by CWM but also some of them face problems, so its better to you to follow FAQ to get good results : )

I actually just saw the posts about the CWM issue a little while ago - that's what I get for not reading all the posts! I flashed with TWRP, the ROM installed, and the phone booted.
Now, this is where things get interesting. My backup that I had made with CWM before I initially tried to flash the ROM was still in \data\media\clockworkmod (where it had initially backed up to), and I wanted to check if I was still able to restore from it. TWRP doesn't recognize it as a backup folder/file (not sure if it would be compatible; this is also my first time restoring), and I flashed back to CWM recovery (phone still boots fine after that)...which doesn't recognize it either. I tried moving it to \sdcard\clockworkmod (where the md5 checksum file was originally generated), \sdcard (just in case, since the recovery option says "restore from \sdcard"), as well as \mnt\shell\emulated\clockworkmod (that's where the CWM ROM manager says that it would have backed up to), but the recovery says "No files found" for any of those as well. Any thoughts on where the backup ought to be located?

If you have Titanium backup pro you can restore from nandroid file
Menu > restore from Nandroid ..
* Its not recommended to restore system apps or data by Titanium
Found my mistake:

Missed that I needed to create that directory, oy. Recovery found it just fine, and restored it just as I left it.
Thanks all!
Hi
i was hoping for a little help the image attached is of a nandroid backup downloaded from here it matches my cid amongst other things how do i flash his to my phone is there a idiot proof way of doing this ?
at the moment i have unlocked bootloader via htcdev & twrp 6.2.33 installed i flashed viper but it said it didnt install properly so now the phone boots goes to lock screen if i try unlock it just goes back to htc splash screen then i press sleep button off then on brings the lock screen back then the same thing happens again then the phone reboots itself this happens continuously.
i can get into fastboot and recovery all i want is the phone working again
Are you sure it's a TWRP backup? Perhaps CWM?
How would i know ?
ive attached the recovery log from the backup

Its Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.4.
So you need to flash this recovery and try to restore. It should help.
Else if you want a custom rom, boot into recovery, and connect your phone to computer. enable mounting of internal storage. With this you can push a new custom rom (of your choice) onto your internal storage. flash it via recovery.
Hope this helps
can any one please share ? i'd like to get the OTAs badly. Rooted my phone, installed custom recovery, now i want to the stock recovery back, also i relocked the bootloader. Will this allow me to get OTAs normally after i flash the stock recovery back ? thanks.
I need version 2.16.401.5, thanks.
i tried flashing with the 2.16.401.1 recovery but getting "signature verify fail", could it be because i installed superuser with TWRP recovery ?If so, how can i fix it ?
EDIT: i guess i did it, forgot to unlock the bootloader, dont know why i locked it again lol, anyways, installed 401.1 recovery and did a factory reset. Is this it ? or do i need to unroot the device with supersu that i have installed and relock the bootloader ? I did not install any custom roms, so the rom is HTC stock, but i installed superuser with TWRP. Will this do any harm ?
Okay i did some research and i FIXED the problem and was able to get OTA update back.
this is what i did:
-Unlocked Bootloader (which i forgot obviosly)
-Installed TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/orig-development/recovery-twp-2-7-1-0-one-mini-2-t2801370)
-Downloaded original nandroid backup (thanks to Kativiti) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/help/img-rom-ruu-request-t2847860) (nandroid backup: https://mega.co.nz/#!msthgIJB!WF5r4CwkXOg3Xda1YP_ESAKRNeY7AC5jkA_tIW65PwU
-made a recovery to show me where i need to copy the backup on my sdcard to
-copied the backup there and made a restore in TWRP
-then flashed the original bootloader back (thanks to: djluisbento) (thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/help/request-original-recovery-img-t2809031) , also make sure you flash the 2.16.401.1 recovery because the nandroid backup is also 2.16.401.1 version. (stock recovery download: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4sLrKlVs0CPMXZMb2FJNGFOdEE&usp=sharing)
-after i did all that stuffs i was able to get the 2.16.401.5 update and it works flawlessly. And to not forget my CID is HTC__032.
Thanks guys for these files and thanks to this forum. You saved me, you are the best. Cant believe i fixed it so easily. May god bless you

Hello,
I rooted my stock phone (Verizon, 4.4.2, VS98027A, Kernal: 3.4.0-perf) using Stumproot, than installed SuperSU and used Autorec to install TWRP. I succesfully created a Nandroid backup and transferred this to my PC for safekeeping. I also took the opportunity to transfer all pics and backup all my apps, texts, etc. But I'm having an issue where the phone will freeze when I try to knock on (or wake it in general) and boot to the verizon logo and restart.
I planned on flashing a new rom to the phone (I need something super stable like CM) - Would that possible fix the issue? I read somewhere else that this problem is caused by Autorec, but I can I fix it properly?
Thanks for the help, complete noob here.

Your problem was using AutoRec. I've said it throughout a few threads, and others have stated that AutoRec causes issues on 27A.
You should be using a bumped recovery, not the old 2.7.0.0 recovery found in AutoRec. Try flashing blastagator's latest bumped recovery (Reboot to recovery to make sure thew new recovery loads up first), then the 27A bootstack, and then flash the boot image I posted in one of MicorMods' threads.
I'll make it easy for you:
Recovery (If you can't get the recovery to flash, you will have to adb it manually, or use MicorMod's tool): http://blastagator.ddns.net/twrp/2-8-5-1.php
27A bootstack: http://www.mediafire.com/download/jbswp6k7vwiijvx/bouchigo_VS980-27A_bootstack.zip

MD5: 29c3c830e3147687db9ba3534fa8b481
Thank you!
So if I understood correctly, transfer the blastagator vs980 recovery and MD5 to my phone. Reboot into recovery, then flash this bumped recovery file.
Then transfer the 27A bootstack and boot image you posted onto my phone. Boot into TWRP that I currently have installed, select these 2 files, and flash the phone correct?

Just transfer all the files at once to a folder on your phone. Boot into recovery, flash blastagator's recovery, reboot recovery (there's an option in twrp that reboots into recovery without having to leave recovery) to make sure the new recovery loads up. Now proceed to flash the bootstack and boot image files.
Thanks! Will give this a shot and report back
