QUESTION:

After flashing superuser, as soon as I hit reboot it prompted me with a warning, asking me if I wanted to do something to prevent HTC replacing CWRP with the stock Android one (which it later did). I hit no, and then after booting again into recovery to update SU binaries from the SU app, the recovery was then stock, and no longer CWRP. So I'm guessing that you need to check yes?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
The backups are being created and saved properly. They are located at /data/media

When booted into OS use a file navigator and go to /data/media.

In CWM the backups show at /sdcard0 which in the device tree source is most likely just mislabeled at /data/media instead of /data/media/0

But with that said, as long as they are being created and we know where they are located all is well

Correct, stock android has a script to reinstall stock recovery on each boot. Cwm detects the presents of that script and prompts user to remove it otherwise stock recovery will be reinstalled.

To fix just flash cwm again and answer yes on exit

Do you need root to view???

I have s-off, this recover, i then did a backup with recovery took about 8min, reboot system. Now before i flashed the supersu.zip to have perm root i wanted to make sure my backup was of a non rooted device. I went to try and copy and paste the backup to my laptop and can't find it anywhere! I'm using the file explorer on the laptop via usb correct? In emulated / 0/ storage data folder has nothing. Clockworkmod folder is there and empty. Where is this backup?

After reboot to bootloader, I get

Any ideas? The top says S-OFF and unlocked, not sure what to do from here. I verified the md5sum, it checks out.

Asked me to then if i wanted to fix root or not, i selected yes fix root then it rebooted.

Is this an issue? I have s-off, already flashed supersu.zip on your first recovery, verified root with root checker and some rooted apps working, then just flashed this recovery over the original recovery.

I instaled the SU Zip and I still get that mesage. I honestly don't think it matters what you answer. You still have root after boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Once S-OFF is obtained and SuperSU installed as a system app, any particular reason *not* to let the system reinstall stock recovery over CWM? (I'm concerned about the charging issues I've seen with CWM on the Rezound, and hoping TWRP will eventually be ported successfully).

Would I lose root doing that? (I'm thinking no, but I learn something new every day here).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nwkeng:
Is anyone having the same issue? I've tried both versions on CWM and they both are giving me the same issue. It's only showing folders but not finding any files

What files are you looking for? As far as I know, it looks for zips.. And that works fine for me.

M8, nuff said.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] replica9000:
Charging your phone while it's on shouldn't matter what recovery you have installed. Should charge the same. Only issue I've ever really had with CWM is sometimes the list of files it shows while it's backing up will appear to freeze, but should still be performing the backup just fine. I can't say how it behaves when charging while the phone is off though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nwkeng:
Trying to install superuser su. I originally had it in my downloads and since it says it can't find and files there I moved it to root right on the sdcard. Still no luck. Trying to flash the superuser zip file.

If I understood correctly, you've placed the file on your SD card (external storage) and you cannot find it in recovery. Have you tried leaving it in internal storage?

Put it in an internal storage folder and it found the zip no problem. Doesn't seem to work on the external storage though...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Thanks; I understand; but the more important question for me is, if I don't anticipate needing CWM for the immediate future, is there any reason not to let the device revert to stock recovery once I've got permroot and S-OFF?

So any idea when there may be a fix for the tiiiiiiiiny font, Aroma (probably resolution related?), or external SD? Not asking about an ETA, just wondering if a fix is in the works or I should start looking at how to build a recovery myself...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pippenz:
It seems that clockwork mod will load things from /sdcard which is a symlink in the system to /mnt/sdcard. This is the internal storage as far as I can tell. The actual microsd expansion slot is /sdcard2 --> /storage/ext_sd. This means (as far as I can tell) that I cannot make a backup or install zips from the SD expansion. Is this something that can be worked around?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
Tiny font is already fixed. Flash the updated version from this morning.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] eeshuz:

Backup Restore Question?

Is there a way for the Nandroid backups to save to the actual External SD Card and NOT internal memory? At around 4-5gb a backup it eats up that 32gb of internal storage quickly.

This is what i've been doing, kind of a pain so hoping for a faster solution:

1. Use CWM to create a full backup, it does it's thing that takes 5-10min or so and saves it to internal storage found in "ROOT", then data, then media, etc.

2. I then use FX Explorer app on phone to then transfer this entire backup to my External SD Card, takes a good 15-20min.

3. Now i can finally connect my phone via usb to my laptop and then open the External SD Card and copy it from there to my laptop for a hard copy outside of my device.

Since when connecting the usb to device you cannot look into Root, Data, Media, etc folders to go to the origin of the backup, this is the only way i've found to do so.

Anyway to make this less time consuming or more efficient? Can i Restore backups from my External SD Card or is CWM only setup to restore from the same path it Backs Up to???
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
The format data/sdcard option in CWM is to format the internal storage correct? I want to format the internal storage and have a external sdcard in the phone so don't want to delete the wrong sdcard.

EDIT: I took out my external sdcard before formatting just to be safe, 23.89GB is the default Internal Storage space from a fresh format.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] UgXvibe:
Just a quick question.. what is the difference between using SuperSU from the Play Store vs. flashing as a system app? I only ask because I already purchased SuperSU Pro and i wasn't sure if the zip would be missing the Pro features (if I even need them). Sorry if this is a noob question but I honestly don't know the difference between installing as an app or flashing the zip.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
Flashing the zip file roots your phone. Installing the app itself won't root. SuperSU Pro will function fine with the flash able zip.

Rebooting question

Okay, I flashed CWM just fine and it works flawlessly, EXCEPT....

Whenever I am rebooting out of recovery BACK into system, I get a warning stating, "Root access possibly lost. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE. No or Yes (Fix root (/system/xbin/su).

Any idea why? I've used CWM before (TWRP man myself, but you use what works), and never seen that error. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
.

As is mentioned at least once if not twice in this very thread, that will always happen and you should always pick "no" or the stock recovery will be reinstalled.

BTW, there is a perfectly good TWRP now available for the Verizon HTC One M8. It's in the Original Development subforum.
