Does anyone have a copy of the stock AT&T recovery? I need to convert my M8 back to stock for an exchange.
I haven't been able to find one thus far. Also, are the recoveries from one of the international versions usable with an AT&T ROM? Just want to be able to get it back to stock with no tampered and unlocked flag, etc. Was planning on SOFF to take care of the other stuff, but still need a stock recovery...
Thanks!
found this, didnt look through it tho
hope this helps

Yeah, I saw that one too. No AT&T specific ones that i saw. One of the reasons why I asked if you could use one of those successfully on an ATT variant.

Actually, didn't even think about it, but I will have my bone stock replacement tomorrow. So I'll have that one and the one I need to return to stock. Now I just need to figure out how to grab all the goods off the new stock one. I was reading Mr.Hofs thread about stock backups. Do you know how to do it? Not sure I completely understand. Do you put the custom recovery in your fastboot folder and then boot that through the pc?

unlock bootloader, reboot system "so many people don't do this and it causes boot loop" once in system, copy supersu.zip to your phone.
get newest twrp but DONT flash it
keep twrp on computer and go to boot loader and type "fastboot boot twrp***.img" this will boot into twrp without flashing recovery.
obviously you need to put path to twrp in your command. Once in twrp, flash supersu and reboot. open supersu and update or whatever but VERIFY that you have root with root checker or something. while in system, open terminal or whatever you use and type
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p43
exit
When you type SU make sure you watch your phone because you may have to allow it root. This command will drop recovery.img into the root of your sd. verify you have it then copy it to your computer and on your old phone, just go to boot loader and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then "fastboot erase cache"
PLEASE let me have a copy of this as I did not back mine up. Message me when its done and i'll let you upload it to me. We need to get stock att recovery out there so people have access to it until ruu's come out. There is no private info in recovery either if you are wondering. I would have backed mine up but didn't know you could boot into recovery since you could not with the m7.

Thanks. I'll do it tomorrow evening. I just went through the instructions that are in that other thread. I tried it on my current phone and it seems to have worked. I browsed to the clockwork folder and found the 24mb recovery.img (twrp). I'm gonna do a full backup (recovery, system, etc) of the new phone right out of the box tomorrow. And of course I'll share it! I'll get with you once it's done.

Mega probably has the most storage space for a free account. If you download the dropbox app for your phone, can have it back up pictures there as well as other methods. Devhost is ok, but they tend to have slow download speeds, not that it would matter too much with such a small file.

CWM Version 5.8.1.4, Stock rom, rooted.
Just wanted to create a back up before I flash any custom roms, I haven't been able to create a system back up. I've tried backing up to external SD card, and internal SD card but neither works.
Internal SD card will go all the way through the steps: Boot image, recovery image, system, data, and then it just hangs on the SU command at the very end of the data back up.
External SD card hangs on system back up with no commands.
Is there any fix around this? Would AmonRA be a better recovery manager to use? I used CWM because it's what I used on my Droid 2.
Also, once I create a recovery image, is there a way to manage and delete images through CWM? I know RomManager had a way, but there were issues with ROM manager on HTC phones so I stayed away from it.
edit: sorry I tried to link to other forum posts but I can't post links. there was a post I wanted to link to saying AmonRA is better, but it didn't go into detail as to why. Can I uninstall CWM and reinstall AmonRA without any problems?

Yes. Do it! That is, switch to AmonRA. One of the big problems with CWM is that it won't charge a dead battery if you happen to run it all the way down to zip.
I know AmonRA is in the roll-up sticky among other places.:highfive:

Ha! I've done everything through flashable files and only used adb and fastboot via hansoon's all in one tool when I rooted and later when I s-offed. Tonight was the first time I sat down and actually 'practiced' doing things with fastboot and adb....and I tried to do what I bet you just did...flash it using ADB?

In bootloader, you use fastboot commands. So it would be
Code:
fastboot devices
Then, assuming it sees your device
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery.img is the recovery file, of course.

im trying to help a user restore a stock t mobile phone. weve tried the recovery linked inthe regular one and t mobile sections(both images are md5 04541031ee82ab95598b3cfbd019ad9c)
we need someone who is unlocked and rooted,yet not permantly flashed recovery to dump the stock one for us. you can simply boot recovery(fastboot boot recovery.img) and make a nandroid,then extract the recovery image,or within the booted OS you can :
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p34
then when its finished,
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p34
the image will be in your adb/fastboot folder to upload.
reply,or shoot me a PM if you can be of assistance. again- you must have the STOCK reovery installed,and be using a t mobile usa device.

thanks very much for the info.
sorry about your sd card. i had no idea that would happen or i would have warned you. seems tho lots of things cause the internal sd to be wiped- ive noticed runnign RUUs has this affect also. if this is a fluke i hope they fix it. if its not its a feature i dont care for.
did you try relocking and doing a factory reset? (both of those will wipe your sd ) i think of putting the stock recovery back is to make tampered go away,those things may be needed.
if you dont want the hassle of relocking and factory reset right now,i competely understand. if anyone else tries it please report and thanks again for flashing for us. it did flash back an apparently working,functional stock recovery,correct?

pretty much anyones nandroid is going to be after unlock,not much way around that. if the missing apps and such are a factor,sounds like we may need to find a way to put them back. or a stinkin RUU
im fairly certain that in your case,tampered stayed becasue the phone did not recognize the stock recovery as its own. for all practical purposes,it could have been CW to the phone
but its quite possible that banner will stay regaurdless what we do,short of running a full ruu(wich will put back the missing apps and such)
Thanks for this!
Alright, I have a problem. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and had twrp installed. I've flashed back to a stock unrooted T-Mobile .7 ROM. I locked the bootloader just fine.
I cannot update with the latest t-mobile OTA. It boots me back to the bootloader with a Security Warning. I've tried to flash the recovery.img listed in the thread, but it just keeps giving me a signature verify fail.
All I want to do is get this thing back to OTA'ness.

don't panic if you can access recovery your fine
download a rom and push it to your phone
boot phone to recovery / go advanced / screen / timeout never
on you pc you should have a folder with adb and fastboot
put the rom you choose in the folder with adb
then open a command prompt in the same folder (shift + right click - command prompt here)
in the window type
adb devices
your serial number should be here
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
let it copy is takes a few min and you can tell it's done
now from your phone go to install
find the rom.zip and flash
you should be up and running
Is the RUU available yet? Can someone please provide a link if it is? Thanks.

you seem very confused .. you can't flash any of these OTA like a rom it won't work !!
users using custom ROMs can't download latest OTA from HTC,
1) If you want to download and flash latest OTA, your device must have completely stock system partition and recovery. Every OTA update is checking MD5 of each file on system partition to ensure .apk patch can be applied. If even one of 1000 files won't match, OTA update installation will fail. In this case you need to flash the latest official update you can find (A RUU) (even one year old) and later download official OTA updates.

its not that im confused, its just that i thought the ota was the same as a rom zip. but it makes sense now that you have to be completely stock to use the ota.
anyway! thanks for the link

Have you all been able to unlock your bootloader again and flash your custom recovery after the update? And, does the Ota preserve your user data?

after i flash the IMG file to fastboot using ADB what do i need to do next? cause i don't know how to flash the update zip. When I was in the bootloader I tried to get into what I thought was the flashed stock. But it showed a black screen and it was just a picture of my phone with a circular arrow inside a circle. and i had to options before i flashed the RUU and went back to stock. the only one is "unlocked" so i still have S-Off? it doesn't say tampered

Is that only in the stock camera/gallery app, or in any photo editing app you've tried? I
If only stock, it wouldn't be a big deal for me since I use Snapseed, PicsArt, Photogrid, and Instagram.
Are there any other issues you've heard of or had in this new update?

Stock HTC One, at&t, just updated to 4.4.2 yesterday morning (approx 11am EST).
I was able to successfully edit three pictures... The first, a simple rotate, changed the pic and ovetwrote the original. The second, also from a separate folder, I cropped a pic and saved it. This created a second image of the edited content. Finally, I edited a pic from the camera pic folder, which included crop and effects. This saved correctly as a separate file as well.

Some people havce this issue some do not, do not know why this occurs, but its been confirmed from [email protected] in photo editing software....so we shall see
The title says it all. My M8 has the bootloader unlocked, it's S-off and rooted with Teamwin recovery installed. I started dicking around with it, and messed it up. I went to HBOOT and factory reset. I now have no OS, so obviously, my phone won't start up. I appear to be really stuck. If you guys help me and talk me through this, I'll stop dicking around. :-/
Also, I would like to load my stock bootloader, 1.12.502.18 (CID CWS__001). I've found the kernel source code as well as a 1.3 GB file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 that supposedly houses this Nandroid backup, but I have no idea how to use it. God, I feel stupid.
Ok. I got the Nandroid backup recovery.emmc.win file pushed to the phone. Now, I have a red triangle in the middle of the screen and I can't get to recovery or fastboot.
Flash twrpCopy the rom to where your adb and fastboot are located connect phone via twrp run this command
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/. exactly as shown here change nameofrom.zip to the name of the rom your trying to flash...this will put a rom on your internal storage and it then can be flashed via twrp

I was able to get into TWRP just fine. When I pushed the file, it moved the file, but I can no longer get to TWRP. So the ROM is there, I just can't access it. Thoughts?
Ok, I got Recovery going. I'm now in TWRP. Where did adb stick the file I pushed?
take out sdcard if using one and only use internal storage..Have to push a flashable rom zip not nand backup.once is pushed it should take awhile,youll go to install like any other custom rom from the install menu. Or if you cant get that going use adb sideload command
Make sure command is correct
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/.
Dumb question. Where in the world do I find the stock recovery zip? I can't find any zip...only img, etc.
You dont need stock recovery right now follow instructions to get a rom back on the device first...download any custom rom and follow what i said

Thanks for the help. Downloading your ROM now.
If you can get in recovery choose the option "adb sideload" put the ROM on your desktop and name it rom. Then in a command window type adb sideload rom.zip , TWRP will automatically recognize the update script and flash it for you.

I don't think he was asking that. I am pretty sure he was asking where he managed to find the stock recovery, which is why the red exclamation, probably because he didn't pull or nand the recovery as a raw or img file before flashing something custom (the user that asked, that is).
I doubt is is a stock AT&T ship recovery from an RUU dump or ota, since there haven't been any for AT&T that I know of yet, so it's likely just a raw dump or was part of the nand backup he restored.
Already been sorted thank you fot you insight

I would like to know how to upgrade to a new ROM (Lollipop or better) on my Verizon HTC One Max with the option to return to stock. Software Information: 4.4.2, Sense 6.0, 3.09.605.3, 6.20, 4.60_002, 15432, 5
I was told to use (and did) Sunshine and then downloaded SuperSU from Google Store (per very detailed instructions and was told to not choose TWRP when the question popped up to choose one or the other (common/normal?)).
My phone is now UNLOCK and S-OFF as well as Rooted (but I'm having a lot of problems with blank screens, etc. and even had the black screen with the red ! in a red triangle (and I don’t know how I got it to boot up again (pushed pwr buttons, vol +/-, etc.)). However, that is as far as I’ve gotten. Confused am I.
I don’t know how to flash; however, I’ve been trying to figure it out, but I’m lost.
I’ve downloaded a lot of files from other threads, but the instructions, while detailed, didn’t say HOW to flash or add TWRP where I (a NEWBORN NEWBIE/NOOBIE) could understand, etc. Is there a place where all this is together?
Am I out of luck or would someone PLEASE help me fix and upgrade it with the option to return to stock if needed? I would love to have Sense 7.0, if possible. I apologize for such a long post/thread.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!
P. S. My phone is now Prepaid Verizon (was Postpaid). Don't know if that matters. I have pics of the files I downloaded from one of your great guys, but they are on my computer. Not sure how to upload. I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND YOUR SITE!!!!!
@LoveSpock I am going to make this short and simple...
First off the Verizon Max software only goes up to 4.4.2. If you want to upgrade you'll need a custom rom which is why you S-OFF and unlocked...
You will need to get familiar with fastboot commands. Google is your friend on how to use if you don't know how to. Here is the link to the TWRP image for your device. http://flyhalf205.com/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Once you get fastboot setup you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command.
From there you are free to wipe then flash anything you would like. Wiping will delete your data so text, contacts that are stored on local phone(not sim or google) will be deleted.
@Flyhalf205
Thank you for your response and instructions. Does this mean I don't need to do anything to the SUPERSU that is already on the phone (and what it did)?.... Following your instructions will wipe everything?
I'll definitely need to take out my sd card. I've saved a ton of stuff on it. ...and backup my contacts and text messages.
I have some more googling and try to learn what you wrote for me to learn. I'll also have to find out what ROM to use....
Your Padawan thanks you.

Shouldn't worry about supersu. Most custom ROMs are going to have that prebuilt into it. Once you get TWRP we will go further into detail about how stuff works.
If you use twrp no need to take your SD card out just go to setting and unchecked SD card and like lovespoke said make sure to dl the right file you can dl right fastboot files here on xda just search it
Hey! Don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm in the same boat. I've never rooted and I'm looking to root my Verizon HTC one max. I'd also like to maybe install a custom Rom but I'm a noob so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. Ok so it's my understanding that sunshine will root, s-off, AND unlock my boot loader? Btw I have no idea what those terms mean. Anyway, if someone could please confirm that about sunshine, it would really help me out. I've already downloaded and installed sunshine on my phone but I haven't paid the $25 yet.
Xx Moe, I strongly suggest you READ the various threads on XDA about unlocking bootloaders, gaining S-OFF and rooting. You can easily brick a device and there's much less support for the Max now than there was when it came out more than two years ago.
I don't believe Verizon HTC One Max's can be rooted without unlocking bootloader/gaining S-OFF and the exclusive method for that is Sunshine (unless you know someone with a Java card). Once you're bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you can then "flash" any partition on the device and that's how to brick the device.
Once you are bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you start by flashing a 'recovery', which is usually the latest version of TWRP for the HTC One Max. Don't flash a recovery for a different device. (Google "Team Win Recovery Project"). Once you have a custom recovery you can "wipe" your device and flash a new ROM.
Wiping deletes all data, or some data, depending upon how you wipe, and there are not very many Verizon HTC One Max ROMs out there that are fully functional. Check the threads, one sticky thread has a listing of ROMs.
Finally, I don't believe anyone has gotten Marshmallow going on a Max, so expect the "best" you'll be able to do is a Lollipop ROM or a Cyanogen Mod equivalent.
Awesome! Thanks for the super quick reply. So yes, sunshine will s-off and unlock boot loader. That seemed to be the million dollar question since (like you said) the one max doesn't have very much support anymore. I'm definitely going to keep reading the forums because I don't want to brick my phone. I've also been watching some tutorials on YouTube. Everything (so far) seems pretty straight forward now, but you can never be too careful. Thanks for your help hgoldner!

Hey flyhalf, is there a thread on here on how to learn about adb fastboot, and flash the custom recovery for noobs? I cant seem to find it. I'm trying to install a custom rom on my htc one max but this is my first time ever rooting/unlocking an android. Ive searched the site but i cant find a tutorial on how to install the custom recovery or learn about adb yet. I have sunshine already on my phone but i havent used it yet because i want to know exactly what im doing before i pay the $25. Any help is appreciated. I already know how to get into the bootloader by pressing the power and volume down buttom at the same time while the phone is turned off.

Download the platform tools and the android usb driver. Don't need anything else.
But basically if your s-off yet. Boot into HBOOT. Power off phone and hold down both power button and the volume down button. Select fastboot using the power button. Your computer should hopefully automatically pick up drivers and call the device "My HTC" in the device manager. If not you'll need to go in and manually assign the downloaded driver using the link above to the Android device in device manager.
Download twrp image file into the same directory as the platform tools downloaded to. In windows, right click while holding down shift anywhere on the white blank area in platform tools and click on "open command window here".. From there you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery recoveryFileName.img
If it says waiting for device. Check device manager and make sure the driver is installed right.

I forget if you were s-off or s-on but you will need to be s-off or your bootloader will need to be unlocked.. You don't need a rom just yet. You could flash recovery and flash root for starters. But once you get it flashed we can start on what to do next.

Sorry... I started the thread back in January. I've been out of commission and starting over.
I had used Sunshine to S-off and Unlock. I used SU to root. I knew nothing about flashing or fastboot and am still learning. One of your original responses to my original post said that google was my friend, so I googled per your advice and found some information on fastboot.
I don't know what flash root means in your response above.
You had also gave me the link to the TWRP image for my phone. You also wrote "Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command." I've added 2 of the pics again as well as one of your img file in the directory I created when I loaded Android Studio.
The Android Studio I downloaded is the latest. Does that make a difference? I did find info on this site about a minimal adb and fastboot. Would that have been better?
I'm imagining my phone will be out of commission until the new ROM is installed, right? (See how I'm still such a Newbie/Noobie!)
Thank you!
