Yes that's a TWRP backup, like suspected though, no recovery.img file to go back to stock recovery.

German RUU - You could convert device to German T-Mobile sure, will it pass warranty? If you're very lucky and they don't look deeper into this then sure, I suppose it could pass. Though somehow I doubt that'll happen :eek:

Same software number...? Is this physical access to a phone that has the same software as yours or did you get it online somewhere? I don't understand your edit part there... But regardless, you can make a backup of his device yes or ask him to do it or if he already made a backup with CWM/Philz Touch then it'll help a lot too as it'll have the recovery.img. I won't say much more about this though..need more clarity from your side about that... :confused:

They don't boot a recovery with another recovery, they boot the custom recovery from fastboot in order to make a backup of the system + stock recovery. You should have done this before you flashed a custom recovery as well, preferably with CWM/Philz Touch Recovery. If you're going to use TWRP then you'll first have to manually "dump" the recovery as a backup, if you use Philz, Philz could at least have made a backup of the stock recovery.

But yeah, you can boot into a custom recovery. Connect the phone to the device, reboot into bootloader, open command prompt change directory to where adb.exe is. Type in fastboot boot name_of_custom_recovery.img then you can make a backup of system including recovery(IF you booted Philz/CWM) .

It's a bit too late for you now though, you already flashed a custom recovery which over wrote the stock you had.

Hi!

Last week I checked for my recovery backup on google and I found this post :

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/t-mobile-poland-1-57-118-2-stock-t2852647/page2

And this guy was looking for the same thing than me! An I could donwload the file, so, I will be able to return 100% sotck!

But i just have one question : In the guide that you post

I don't find when and how I'm supposed to install the stock recovery...

Can someone help me ?

Thanks a lot!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Reboot your phone into bootloader mode (Volume Down + Power button)

Connect Phone to PC

Open command prompt in adb folder

Type fastboot devices to make sure device is connected.

Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - It should be recovery.img I don't think anyone would change the name of the recovery.

Type fastboot reboot - Phone will reboot back into OS.

Recovery is flashed and you can do updates. Of course the rest of your phone needs to be stock as well but seeing as you only mentioned the recovery now I take it that your phone is back to stock.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allan9914:
Ok, thx, but if I understand correctly, I have to dos this instead of ste the step 6 of the guide?

Right?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Nah it's not necessary, just flash back the stock recovery. You'll get the latest firmware for your device when you do the OTA update anyways and at least this way you know that things won't go wrong.

I think they included that method because the latest recovery.img file is already in the firmware package and flashing it will restore the recovery back. You can just restore/flash it normally and let the system update itself. Like I said above, not a lot can go wrong that way.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allan9914:
Ok, well i will do this when i find the time!

Thanks again for all you've done for me! you'r my hero!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allan9914:
Hi!

Well, I found time to do this!

- I restored my nandroid backup with the stock rom

- I reseted the tampered flag

-I reseted the Unlocked flag and now it's "Locked"

-I unrooted my phone

but I have a probleme with the recovery...

When I type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", I get an error :

c:\miniadb_m7>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

target reported max download size of 1830711296 bytes

sending 'recovery' (15236 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.431s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 1.440s

I did something wrong? The phone is int fastboot USB, the computer recognize it. For adb I use the miniadb_v1031, recomended in topics to remove tampered flags and to remove unlocked flag.

Can you help me with this ?

Thx!

Allan

edit : I also try to do "fastboot oem rebootRUU" before trying flash recovery.img!

:confused: Flash a recovery with a locked bootloader :confused:

Unlock bootloader, flash stock recovery, lock bootloader.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allan9914:
Yeah... I understood my mistake 1min before you post..

YOU ARE THE BEST!! haha

So, it worked!

Now, when I go into the recovery I have a phone with a red "!" inside a triangle, is it okay?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Yeah that's the stock recovery. Just hold Volume Up and then TAP power button and you'll enter the recovery options.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allan9914:

So i have a Verizon S5 rooted, stock rom. However, i use T-Mobile service on the phone as it is unlocked. Since i use T-Mobile on this phone i can't use the Isis app that's pre-installed the device. If anyone can steer me in the direction of the com.isis.mclient.t mobile.activity apk that would be greatly appreciated! I've found a at&t apk that installed perfectly but could't go any further because i don't have att sim. If any has the tmobile apk that'd be awesome!

What about Google Wallet? Or do you specifically want Isis?
[G2 Android Development] sotmax:
Here is a simple Aroma uninstaller-debloater

Can be used in any stock based structure rom (almost all variants) and in some cases in any other rom.

I will update it frequently to make it a full debloater and a universal tool with some mods inside(basicaly speed mods)

Just put it in your device , reboot to recovery and press install. Then choose what you want to uninstall.

If you dont want to proceed press power button to pull up quit option.

Dont bother of any wipe as it wipes automatically cache and dalvik.

Grab it from attachment ;) ;)
[G2 Android Development] eliyahut:
Can you please provide pictures?

And it will work with d802 with pardus rom?

Thanks
[G2 Android Development] madmax59:
good job dude. thanks
[G2 Android Development] sotmax:
It will work my friend.

What pictures.

Its just a selection box not a rom.

You just put it in your device, reboot to recovery, press install and just tick what you want to remove. You can also press power button to quit if you dont want to uninstall something. Is not one way road ;)

Other than that i will provide some pics of it
[G2 Android Development] eliyahut:
Ok.

I want pictures because I want to see what debloat apps it include to delete and check in google if i will not understand something from it.

Hi guys,

I've just set up my exchange mail on my new Note 3 and it's great, except it needs a PIN lock so every time I go to use my phone I have to put the PIN in which gets annoying.

Just wondering if there's a way to have the exchange mail without the PIN lock?

I downloaded a hacked mail app for my SGS3 when I had it which worked perfectly, but I'd like to avoid putting a custom OS on my Note 3 just to get the hacked mail app, if possible.

Any suggestions would be great

Hi Rosli,

Unfortunately it looks as though CF AUto Root is having some issues with 4.3 SM-N9005 so doesn't look like I can root it. I tried to update my phone and it says there are no updates available - I don't think 4.4 is offered to Australia.

Is there another way to root the phone?

[Ornate TrueSmart] MrTip:
Hi all, I have a TS 1/8/2100, firmware 20140513.

TWRP and Bluetooth tether ROM are available for firmware 20140328 only. Past conversations make me think there won't be any update soon.

A solution would be to install previous firmware, then TWRP, then update firmware. But partitions changed in between.

According to this SP Flash Tool can also physically format a partition if you can get a partition management table (PMT). The scatter file describes logical partitions, but it seems you can also add PMT. (After backup with MTKDroidTool, click "prepare Blocks for FlashTool")

Knowing this, provided that hardware is relatively unchanged, it could be possible for newest TS to enjoy TWRP happiness.

I would like to try, if someone could be kind enough to give me a stock backup for TS 1-8-2100 firmware 20140328

with PMT

. (there sould be a file called MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt)

I need you to help me help you to help me help you.

thx.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Tigerite:
Here you go - hope it's what you're looking for..
[Ornate TrueSmart] MrTip:
No, it's not. The key element of my message is

Thank you anyway.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Tigerite:
That's all that was generated by the tool I'm afraid, I followed the steps from the link you provided too, but still no joy. It only produces the standard one, no PMT suffix.
[Ornate TrueSmart] MrTip:
That's unfortunate. Did you click on "prepare Blocks for FlashTool" after backup ? I'll try myself asap to confirm the procedure.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Tigerite:
Yes I did, but no PMT text file in the relevant folder..
[Ornate TrueSmart] MrTip:
Well, the procedure is correct. It appears that PMT can be (or not) in scatter file without any difference in the filename. So you have to check by yourself, as I did, if you want to format. (look for many lines per partition, like 'physical_start_addr' and 'linear_start_addr')

You have to select "format+download" in "sp flash tools" to

format everything (including preloader, so be carefull).

Take all precautions: Backup everything, including userdata and cache partition, because sp flash tools will ask for it if you have to format. Do not forget to backup nvram.

Doing this, I successfully formatted the TS and installed previous firmware, 20140328.

Sadly, the TS won't boot. Here lies my hope to get TWRP and bt tether ROM working without update from its creator...

So, back to firmware 20140513.

After the new format+backup, TS boot normally, but I had a "IMEI invalid" error. So, I used MTKdroidtools to restore nvram the same way I previously backed it up.

Complete 'format+download' is to be used if you messed up with partitions or if partitions changed.

Could be usefull, this was to let you know how.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
What exactly are you trying to do?
[Ornate TrueSmart] MrTip:
Install last firmware known to be working with twrp.

Did that.

The device doesn't boot anymore.

Revert to previous backup.

Did that.

I like to see things by myself.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
It's not your firmware that's the problem. I'm running twrp on the latest firmware without issue.
[Ornate TrueSmart] MrTip:
I can only rely on testimonies on this very forum, but I have not seen a single person succesfully installed twrp on firmware 20140513.

I have seen successfull install on previous firmware, and then OTA upgrade.

What is it for you ?
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
It is exactly what I told you. It's up to you to believe me or not.
[Ornate TrueSmart] MrTip:
You didn't told me if its an install on 20140513 firmware or if it's an upgrade from previous firmware.

I understand you agree there is a problem with twrp 2.7.1.0 on newer devices.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
You'll notice I did say new devices. Not new firmware.
[Ornate TrueSmart] MrTip:
Ok then, you win by default. Look at me asking a simple question while you obviously rather going back an forth playing fallacy pong. Please forgive me if I cut this short. I'll click on Thank You anyway.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Tigerite:
Anyway to get back to the thread.. I've tried everything, booting in recovery, running MTK Droid Tools as Administrator, installing busybox again - but still no PMT file. I'm all out of ideas now..
[Ornate TrueSmart] MrTip:
That's OK. It appears that PMT can be (or not) in scatter file without any difference in the filename. (If you look in the file and see many lines per partition, like 'physical_start_addr' and 'linear_start_addr', you have PMT)

So I found what I was looking for, thank you.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
No one is trying to win. I have a good deal of experience with MTK devices based on my researching various methods of backup/restore/flash/etc and I was offering a hand.

You can play one-person pong with yourself and claim fallacy all you want or you can get off your high horse.

Up to you. I have work to do.

[Ornate TrueSmart] walscobry:
Link to that version please. Will try to find it myself also, is it in this thread? I was wondering about the 'block' part but that is how the instructions are at TWRP website ( http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/214 ) so I went with it. Thanks for the info.

recovery recovery

I found the fixed may twrp img. It has EU in the title but I went with it! Rebooted into recovery. Only it had no idea about any partition other than boot? Is that right?

When I went to reboot it said there was NO OS installed. Is that right?

I did panic but my only choice was reboot or let it run down and die looking at the twrp screen. Thankfully it did reboot and seems to be fine.

But since it could see no other partitions I was unable to make a backup, etc. I did make a backup with MTKtools and ID numbers.

I know things have kinda slowed down here and that there is not much future for this device but like I said I just got it and even tho the boat has sailed I would still like to get in a little fishing...

Thanks for the help.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Wrong one. You want the one that says TWRP-May in the title.

You did say you were on May firmware right?

Just wanted to be sure.

Also, don't count out the device yet. There's still a KitKat port coming down the line (hopefully).
[Ornate TrueSmart] walscobry:
KitKat in the pipe!?!?!

WOW that would be awesome. BT4.0 support would be nice.

OK Going back to find the twrp with may in the title. Where I got this from tho was just a link that said >here< so is there a archive or someplace I can go directly? If at all possible can you point me right at the correct img for a received in late july US extreme TS with 20140527.172828_V2.0 firmware with the OTA update.

I just did read the whole thread and did not find a may link, used search and then google. not finding a twrp with may in the title. Learned a few things but not where the may twrp img is...
