Yes, Install TWRP in fastboot mode via "fastboot flash recovery (recovery file name).img"

then unzip downloaded backup folder (2014-04-18--09-26-29 KOT49H release-keys) and place it in SD Card/twrp/FA3APWG02523.

Then reboot to bootloader and enter into recovery from there. restore stock back from TWRP from here

Now boot up your phone and see if everything is working fine in your phone and you are able to use your phone such as calls/sms etc etc

If phone is working fine then again boot into bootloader and flash stock recovery via "fastboot flash recovery recovery_t6ul-2.61.401.3.img"

After this you need to enter into recovery from bootloader but this time method would be little different to enter into recovery unlike you used to go into TWRP/CWM Recovery. Once you hit power button in bootloader to enter into recovery then wait for the "htc logo" screen to go away. once its gone then press Volume Up button and power button simultaneous 4 or 5 times. You might see an error 5 times but ignore that and keep pressing Volume up button unless you see a Blue Stock Recovery Menu. if you see it then you have done it right. Here you need to wipe cache and do a factory reset and reboot system.

Now once you are done with above all, reboot into bootloader/fastboot mode and lock your bootloader via "fastboot oem lock"

Now you are on Stock Firmware and ready to take an OTA (if available) for your phone if everything goes right.

I hope now it clears everything and you would be able to do it easily

i read about it and the problem because of the bootloader

but i can't fix it

man you are real friend

thx a million

thx
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Hazeem, I am glad that it worked for you. Yes, there is no Sense 6 update but soon the international HTC One Max will receice.

2ndly, to have your finger print scanner working, you'll have to "Lock" your bootloader. Currently it must be in "Relocked" state in your phone.

Please read and follow the instructions in this link and you can "Lock" your bootloader again.

do not use command fastboot oem lock. this relocks bootloader and dont accept ota. (shows RELOCKED in bootloader)

you must use scotty123's method of locking&unlocking bootloader without htc dev. then, and only then will ota work( shows locked in bootloader)

Type adb shell, then su again.

The adb shell quit somehow and you were passing the chmod command to Windows instead of your phone. This happened to me too!
[HTC One Max] japodude:
it looks like when you type su and get the $ prompt, everything stopping

the command chmod is unknown to windows shell. it's not doing it as part of the adb shell.

you type chmod command right after su prompt.

ps have you got root. if so, look at phone and allow the superuser request

Hi thanks for your nice sharing

I turn on my phone and copy "2014-04-18--09-26-29 KOT49H release-keys" with all content inside (while i tested zip file) to "FA3APWG02523" folder under "backups" folder under "twrp" folder.Go to recovery and Restore menu but i can't see the file there.

Please help.i don't know what's wrong here.

PS:I use Version 2.7 TWRP.Also tried with diffrent recoveries.
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Did you copy it on Internal SD Card or External SD Card? You need to select appropriate destination (internal or external SD Card) in "Restore" in TWRP menu to let recovery see it.

2.7 TWRP is fine to restore this backup.
[HTC One Max] saratel-gsm:
I tried both storages,besides every time i managed file location in TWRP restore menu.
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Thats strange if recovery cant see it.

Try downloading TWRP Manager and restore it via TWRP Manager. See if it works for you.
[HTC One Max] blue8:
my HBOOT version is 2.47

can i use your back up with these steps ?

1: Download stock Backup and Recovery from links above. Unzip Stock Backup folder from Zip file (2014-04-18--09-26-29 KOT49H release-keys)
2: Place stock back up in folder "TWRP/Backups/FA3APWG02523" and restore via TWRP
3: Then flash stock recovery in fastboot mode "fastboot flash recovery recovery_t6ul-2.61.401.3.img"
4: Relock Bootloader in fastboot mode "fastboot oem lock"
5: Boot into Stock Recovery and factory rest (please back up all your data from internal SD Card because factory reset will wipe everything)
6: Now boot up your phone and you should be seeing everything Stock now.

Now you should be able to receive OTA for sense 6(whenever available for your region/CID) or you may just want to get back to stock firmware

thanks
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
I dont think so. Because this backup should work only on 2.49 hboot. For 2.47 hboot you need 1.54.401.1 stock backup and 1.54.401.1 stock recovery in order to get back to stock and to be able to receive OTA for 2.61.401.3 (4.4 OS)
[HTC One Max] blue8:
Can i update hboot to 2.49 with this zip file and after that flash your backup ?

yes i do it

I have a question

when you recive the update on this rom to 4.4.2 sense 6

can you make backup for us ???
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Yes, I'll take a Stock Back up and upload official OTA File as well with Sense 6 Stock Recovery ??
[HTC One Max] Hazem99922:
Thank you very much

I respect you brother

[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:

[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Blue - Do me a favoure and restore my backup file and see if it works. I think it should work regardless of Hboot version. Report in either cases if it works or doesn't work.

P.S: Take a backup of your own current ROM so that you can restore in case mine doesn't work
[HTC One Max] blue8:
i update the hboot with that zip file.now my hboot is 2.49 :)

i want to restore your backup but i have question

my phone is s-off unlocked now after restore your backup i should flash Stock recovery 2.61.401.3 after that Boot into Stock Recovery and factory rest

do you think if i do fastboot oem lock my fingerprint should work now ? or i should use scotty1223 method ? (scotty1223 method need root )

Thanks
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
No, fastboot oem lock will only "Relock" bootloader and fingerprint scanner wont work. To have fingerprint scanner working, you need scotty1223's method to "Lock" bootloader. Only then fingerprint scanner will work.
[HTC One Max] blue8:
Okay thanks

If i lock the bootloader i still can flash the recovery ?

I want to back completely to stock and fingerprint work too...
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
I believe you can not flash recovery once you have relocked or locked your bootloader.
[HTC One Max] sriszone:
hi bro..

my stock verison is 2.61.1540.1 and Hboot 2.49

Can i install your stock backup via twrp.... is that possible to get back to full stock. if so please tell me how to do
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
2.61.1540.1 version seems little different to me. Is your One Max a Developer Eddition?

If yours is a DE then I am not really sure if this Backup would be successful on your phone. However I doubt it.

Rest you can give it a try (make sure you take a backup of your current ROM before you restore this one)
[HTC One Max] gabrielvl:
Your stock backup is incomplete

half of the progress this happen

....

Verifying current system...

check/data/preload/SoundHound_freemium.apk failed,error No such file or directory()

That means you have remove this aplication before backup.

Please upload a new backup,complete
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Some of the file in data/preload get deleted autimatically while unlocking bootloader.

I have faced this error too. I am going to find a solution to it and I'll upload these files with instructions today. Please bear with me and thank you for highlighting bro. This will be fixed.
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:

umm my phone wont boot. I installed stock recovery and then relocked using scottys guide tried going to stock recovery but nothing and will now not boot

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Crisis kind of averted managed to boot phone and do a full reset but when I did it to use scottys lock I had to stay with custom recovery and rooted then flash stock recovery then lock because if I locked then tried installing stock recovery it wouldn't work. But at the end of it still have supersu installed and still rooted.... How can I remove as need complete stock for sale. Plus if I keep phone s-off will it keep saying on very first start up screen this device is a test device? Thanks
[HTC One Max] nathlynn22:
I didn't install missing apk zip as didn't feel I needed to I still have ringtone trimmer. Soundhound and tune in I must have deleted because there not there
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
You don't have to install missing apks if you still have em in you stock back up but make sure they are in "data" folder.
[HTC One Max] nathlynn22:
What you mean /data as its empty. Or can't view it. Plus also have problems getting rid of supers? Thanks
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Put missing apks in data folder or else there will be an error while updating SW. And dont worry about Superuser app as it will be gone once you will update to Sense 6 OS. Or you can go into Superuser app's setting and look for "Full Unroot" option. This will remove Superuser app
[HTC One Max] nathlynn22:
I've already done the new ota to sense 6 and it was still there. Before I did that I tried full indoor but didn't work. So updated thinking it may remove it. Missing apks must not be a problem then as it updated to sense 6 without a problem. I'll have to try and unlock using scottys guide reflash custom recovery make backup. Then root. Then start again ...

hi mate

my device is on 2.61.401.3 sense5.5 and its unlocked and rooted and s-off

if i restore sense6 backup via twrp recovery then is it nessesary to flash sense6 firmware and H-boot ? or restoring this package is enough ... ?? because i want to upgrade my device yo sense6 and there is no OTA package or any RUU etc... for this CID . what can i do ?
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
What is your phone's hboot at the moment?
[HTC One Max] Milad.Alef:
its 2.47 now

You'll have to restore 2.61 TWRP Backup and then take OTA because OTA will update your phones hboot to 2.49 as well
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Sense 6 backup on 2.47 hboot may not work. So my suggestion is to restore TWRP 2.61.401.4 backup and then take OTA

I'm using tarp 2.8.1.0. And copied unzipped files in : TWRP >BACKUPS>FA3APWG02523

Where is the problem ?
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Hi, Hope you are doing great. I have installed TWRP 2.8.1.0 and I can see backup files both in Internal and External Storages. Everything is working fine with me.

I think you need to take a back of your current ROM just to let new recovery set up a path.
[HTC One Max] moghaddamhreza:
Does it relates to being S-off or not ? Because Im s- on right now

4.hold power down and power bottom

Here you will see a white screen with options in it, use power keys and hit recovery option with power key

5. In recovery screen select "backup" and do a backup of your current ROM to be able to restore it if new ROM didn't booted,

[HTC One Max] moghaddamhreza:
In s-off mode your device is without security, and a little wrong code could result in breaking your phone!

If you want to install the lastest update,

1.you should unlock your bootloader(without unlocking you can't change your ROM)

And of course your finger print won't work unless you lock your device (not Relock) again

2.install your ROM, flash super su to be rooted

3.use scooty method to lock your device

If you're newbie, don't try these.... And don't cry us after breaking ! ?

[HTC One Max] moghaddamhreza:
RUU IS an *.exe file for Windows, like you are updating your device from OTA and your device should be locked and with stock HTC ROM and recovery!

There is no RUU 3.23.401.1 available, if found, contact me :)

I'm using 3.23.1540.1 developing mode ROM not 3.23.1540.1 version and I don't know HOW! :laugh:
