[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillyjav:
I have S-OFF & TWRP - HBOOT 3.19 running on GPE RUU.

I want to return to stock with the BELL CID. Am i able to use Canadianreaper's Bell Recovery file that is HBOOT 3.16?

Do i have to relock my bootloader or anything before i restore it?

I tried to restore this recovery file on my phone and it said "restore failed"

I was on GOOGL001 CID with the GPE RUU, but i changed it to the BM___001 before restoring.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
When you converted to GPE you ran an RUU that changed the sizes of your partitions, making /system to small to run Sense based ROMs.

You need to run a Sense RUU to re-size your partitions. After that, you will be able to return to Bell.

You can get the 4.16.401.10 RUU (it's WWE and compatible with your phone) from here.

Leave your phone connected and double click the download to start the install wizard, and follow the prompts.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillyjav:
After i install this RUU, do i still have to go into recovery and install the CanadianReaper's recovery file? and then change my CID back to BM___001?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yes. Flashing the 4.16.401.10 RUU was just to fix your partition sizes. You are on a stock ROM now. But if you want to go back to 100% stock with the ROM provided by your carrier, you'll need to restore a stock nandroid backup, then flash the stock recovery in fastboot.

If you just want to be stock without bloatware, keep the WWE firmware. You can update the firmware way before your carrier gets it. WWE is almost always first after GPE and Dev Ed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillyjav:
So if i don't want the bloatware, just run the RUU and leave it that way? Does that automatically turn S-ON and relock the bootloader and all that stuff?

Thanks so much for your help!! you've been awesome!!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You can't just update the ROM without updating your firmware. That's why your wifi doesnt work. Flash the 4.4.2 nandroid, then the stock recovery. Telus will push OTA updates to your phone to get you up to Lollipop correctly.

You could also go S-off and flash firmware manually if you wish. That's the quickest and easiest way.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
You are on old firmware, either flash firmware.zip for Telus Lollipop, or stay on Kitkat..

Can't get past "Optimizing app" with Telus nandroid backup

Hi,

I have a Telus HTC One M8 that I'm trying to return to stock from the Skydragon ROM based on this thread.

I downloaded the Telus 4.20.661.2 - TWRP - HBOOT 3.x nandroid backup from the first post and restored it from TWRP.

When I rebooted after the restore, it goes through booting and then to the "Optimizing app..." and when it gets to the last app it optimizes and then reboots and tries to optimize everything again. I have tried going back to my previous nandroid back up and then back to the Telus nandroid but the same thing happens. I cleared the cache and the davlik cache but no change.

I have since re-locked my bootloader and reverted to stock recovery and restarted but no change.

What am I doing wrong? I'm just trying to get back to a stock Telus HTC One M8. I wanted to try the Telus 3.34.661.4 since I'm HBOOT 3.19 but the link is dead. Does anyone have a reupload?

Going back to stock is the same for your device just use the correct version backup, oh wait... you played around and never bothered to make a backup at all and now you expect us to search for one :confused: :rolleyes:

There is no stock backup + stock recovery available for your device exactly because there are plenty more guys like you out there that can't be "bothered" to do anything, including make a simple backup of their device prior to messing around with it. 5 Minutes...that's all it would have taken, 5 minutes... :rolleyes: A couple more if you uploaded and shared it so that it can be added in the Collection thread.

Why do you want to go back to stock? Are you planning on returning the device for warranty purposes? If it isn't for a warranty fix, why not just convert the device to either the Asian or International version. Regardless you'd still be stock 100% and receive OTA updates directly from HTC.

Submitted to the OP, but I thought I'd also post here:

I made a Bell TWRP backup of my stock ROM, I did however include the formatted data partition, which I now realize I could have deleted. I also uploaded the radio, which I confirmed to be the same modem as the Rogers one.

Bell.cidnum.BM____001.TWRP.stock.backup.1.55.666.4.zip

md5: 812a2e4f86ae968484ca57c148204aa0

The recovery is the same for all variants of the m8. Just find the recovery for your firmware version here. You will need an unmodified system partition (root is fine) and unmodified build.prop. You can factory reset if you're on the stock ROM after you flash the stock recovery above, and you will be 100% set. If you are S-Off, you can also try the Unlocked version or Developer conversion which I did, which gets OTA updates from HTC weeks before the carriers push them out. I'm on 4.4.3 already on stock developer edition rom :)

Here is the 2.23 OTA for Bell, from 1.55.666.4. Inside the firmware.zip is the stock radio and recovery for 2.23.666.2 :) Enjoy.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeogle:
That happened to me, what the problem was that the custom backup is in the wrong folder. When you do a backup with TWRP, it will make a folder with F######### (your phone's ID) in it. Place your backup folder in that folder and you will see it no problem!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadianreaper:
You are currently S-ON then? You just need root (supersu) installed to run Sunshine again, if you have purchased it. It should work regardless of the Hboot version (which got upgraded with the 4.4.3 update).

If you want to go back to stock, flash TWRP recovery and use my TWRP 1.55.666.4 backup, don't root, then get the OTA or flash my uploaded OTA following the instructions listed on the first page. Both will come with the stock Bell bloatware, which is all removable, not the Sasktel bloatware.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadianreaper:
So the fact that you are S-ON means you cannot change your CID (super CID). It sounds like someone relocked your bootloader with non-stock software. How are you flashing twrp with the bootloader locked? Either way, we can still fix it. We need to unlock your bootloader and flash STOCK RECOVERY. See this thread for instructions using HTC dev to unlock your bootloader.

Then download the stock recovery for your current version of software here.
