You have to unpack it and place it inside the TWRP backup folder. If you can't see it then perhaps you're looking at the wrong storage location.

Check in both the internal and SD card. Else let TWRP "recreate" the directory for you, can easily do it by making a backup of just boot.

Make sure to copy the contents of the "serial number folder" into "your" own serial number folder(on device).

TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ serialnum is of course the serial number for your own device. Though the backups you download will have the serial number for a different device, which is why I said copy the contents of that folder and not the entire folder.

i have installed Stock Recovery and and done a factory reset but it didnt install the Stock rom that i thought it would do..

what do i do now ? how can i install this stock rom : 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_K444_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.9_R_Radio_1.22.21331147A1.29G_20.67.4196.01_release_402839_signed-decrypted

with stock recovery and fastboot ? :s
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bombi22:
Hey again, im still stuck with this issue

how do i flash twrp, with Fastboot ?, i have S-on. and it says that no devices is found in cmd when i run fastboot.exe
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
cmd you'll need to change directory to fastboot/adb folder. It'll be faster though to just open the adb folder, hold shift and right click anywhere in the white area of the folder(not on the files) and select open command prompt here. The command to check for the device isn't fastboot.exe, it's fastboot devices <<<Only if you're in fastboot mode, while in recovery or running Android system it'll be adb devices

You'll have to go to HTCDev.com and follow instructions on how to unlock your bootloader(I saw the other thread you made locking the bootloader :rolleyes: ).

You can't flash a custom recovery if the bootloader is locked. So follow on screen instructions at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader

On a side note to original question, the command to flash a custom recovery is fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img <<<Recovery image file must be placed inside directory cmd is in, in this case, adb/fastboot folder.

Hey again mate !

i just unlocked my bootloader again and flashed latest version of twrp, installed the latest Android revolution 34.0 but the result is the same, wifi doesnt work. and i have the .401 firmware.zip but for some reason it doesnt want to flash it, i still have S-on but the Firmware might be really old too im not sure ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Yeah it's because you still didn't update the firmware for your device, so it won't work!

Download the TWRP nandroid backup(like mentioned before) and place it inside the TWRP backup folder and restore it. After it's restored, flash back the stock recovery and let it do OTA updates.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bombi22:
will it get the OTA's if i install .401 odexed and stock recovery ?:)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
I suppose your first post here probably answered that question for you already...

Why try and make things more complicated than it needs to be. Download a nandroid backup, restore it, flash stock recovery and do OTA's. That's it...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bombi22:
yea but i didnt have stock recovery might be therefor i could'nt install the OTA's

i have deleted ARHD 34.0 now, im gonna find another nandroid backup now and figure out where to put it :)

should the nandroid backup be in zip ?

- Edit

i found a backup named 2014-10-25--04-09-42 KTU84L release-keys

where should i put it ? :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
No...I said it in post 6 already, unpack it(in other words, unzip it).

Once it's unzipped you'll probably see a folder named something like yyyy-mm-dd--hh-mm-ss BASENAME release-keys - for example 2014-10-15--23-07-49 KTU84L release-keys... Dates, Time and "BASE"(KTU84L) will obviously change. Inside that folder you'll find files like boot.emmc.win , system.ext4.win000 , recovery.log etc.

That entire folder "2014 [...] release-keys" must be placed inside your serial number folder. If you don't have one yet, create a backup of "Boot" only so that TWRP can create the directory for you. So when it's finished the directory will look something like this:

/storage/

ext_sd

/TWRP/BACKUPS/

SH41RMW18761

/2014-10-15--23-07-49 KTU84L release-keys/

Storage location might change depending on whether you use SD Card or not. Better to use it anyways. Of course Serial Number SH41RMW18761 is a made up serial number, your devices serial number WILL be different.

Once you placed it in the correct serial folder, you can go into TWRP, select the storage location(Like I said it'll be better to do SD Card) and TWRP should pick up the nandroid backup from there. Select it and swipe to restore.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bombi22:
Thanks ill try that out :) !
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bombi22:
should i change KTU84L to the BASENAME of the backup i made ?

my backup basename is LRX22C should i change the nandroid backup name from KTU84L to LRX22C ? :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
No just copy the folder in the serial number folder. Then go to TWRP, Select Restore, If you must select SD Card / Internal depending where you place nandroid, then Select the nandroid and swipe to restore.

Wiping phone assistance

Hey guys!

Is it possible to wipe my Htc one m8 Completely firmware,Kernal, Etc.

because i've used the last 3 days on trying to fix my phone and there is always another problem after another..

when i install a Rom, Wifi wont work,

when i use a stock Nandroid backup it wont let me install OTA's with stock recovery.

so i thought the problem must be the kernel or firmware. but i cant find any methods to downgrade or upgrade those without S-off

Thanks in advance !

I restored the twrp backup of 5.0.2 from a thread on xda for xt1068. But when I booted into recovery from bootloader my phone's twrp recovery doesn't shows up instead a bug droid with an red exclamation shows. I tried flashing latest twrp.img via mfastboot method but that was of no help. Everything goes fine but the recovery shows warning Android symbol. Help needed!

I tried holding the volume up button for 10 seconds and then pressing and releasing the Power button while volume button still pressed when the warning shows but that doesn't helps either. Should I flash custom recovery once and then again try flashing twrp? I need to restore my twrp backup of 4.4 so that I could get the official update.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
How much "miscellaneous" battery drain is normal after google fixed the lollipop bug?

I've read about the initial bug in lollipop causing high battery drain under the entry "miscellaneous". I'm using a 5.0.2 rom (as far as I've understood from the information about it) so the bug should be fixed. Yet I'm seeing quite some battery drain going to this "miscelanous" entry. Right now it's 9%, screen is first at 10% but I still feel 9% sounds like quite a lot or is this correct? What's "normal" here?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smack_t:
Im seeing the same - Misc is at 14% now and Screen at 10%. not sure if its WiFi related, as was the case with the early 5.0 release for the nexus 5, or if its related to NFC / something else?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
What bothers me is that we do not know if this is "rediscovered" battery use that previously just wasn't reported, or if it's a new drain coming with lollipop. I like lollipop but there are quite a few things about the code that has me concerned.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smack_t:
I dont think its the same bug. The Miscellaneous Drain encompases many things that run in the background that don't have their own status group in the battery stats. Usually, they are small drains compared to the screen, apps etc... it will be hard to determine whats causing it, unless you are a developer i think. Still the battery life isnt bad, so not really bothering me too much.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
I had some battery issues coming to lollipop as compared to kitkat so I guess that made me more doubtful. On my device misc always use up about as much as the screen which sounds like a whole lot that the cell has no idea where it went.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhystagram:
did you have it after flashing? or is it always there?

it only appears for me after using TWRP.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
I'm not sure as I started flashing pretty much the first thing I did with the LG G3 that is affected by it. Do you think TWRP itself is to blame or rather an incompatibility with custom roms? I've not flashed stock to compare, but I could check my wifes phone, she is stock wout any root or hacking.

The following file only contains the NC4 System, Kernel, and Cache. Those that took the NK1 OTA and lost root can try to see if it flashes successfully using Odin: N900VVRUCNC4_System_Cache_Kernel.rar

If it flashes successfully do a factory reset from recovery and see if the phone boots. If the phone boots then you can root with Towelroot, install Safestrap and re-update to NK1 using this method and keep root:http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general/how-to-update-to-nk1-root-t3013630 (if the downgrade fails, this thread also contains the NK1 Full Odin .tar file to get back to stock, unrooted NK1).
