[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
You need to get that whole file on your sd card but first let's try to just drop the entire file you downloaded the ".rar" and wipe the system like I said and go into TWRP and click install and see if it installs if it doesn't come back and let me know.
[HTC Desire 510] AlexG.:
But twrp doesn't show rar files.
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
I figured it wasn't gonna show the rar file so do this one.

The next thing you should try is this... Use your computer to navigate inside of your sd card and look for this and click TWRP and then click Backups then you should see a folder similar to this FA48XSR09828 (but not the same as mine) click into that one and then take the entire extracted folder this one "cricketstock2014-12-22" and copy it in there and yes it needs to be in this folder so you need to somehow get it in there..

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 PM ----------

After you get that entire folder into your TWRP backup folder go back to wipe and wipe the thing's I mentioned and then go back again and this time click restore and you should see the cricketstock2014-12-22 folder tap to install that.
[HTC Desire 510] AlexG.:
My TWRP folder is in my internal storage of the phone and when I click in the folder theres no backup folder, there's a file called .twrp it's a TWRP FILE
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
no it should not be on the internal storage the phone doesn't have enough room to do what I'm saying this file 900mb is to big for internal storage check on your external storage for the backup folder if it's not there we have to do something.
[HTC Desire 510] AlexG.:
I cannot find a TWRP Nor backup file, I never backed up my stock rom when I flashed a new rom for the first time.
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
Alright do this then... Put your SD card back in the phone, boot into TWRP and then click backup and then make sure it's NOT set to try backing up to your internal storage make sure it says SD or ext_sd and then backup the broken system you have because this will then create that backup folder you need on your SD card that you can't find since you never made a backup up before after it creates the folders go ahead and copy the cricket folder in there then go back to the main screen and tap restore and then you should see the folder you copied in there as long as TWRP is set to external storage if it says internal again then change it back.
[HTC Desire 510] AlexG.:
How do I backup up the broken system if i'm on nonsense? or do I just regularly backup just like normal? sorry for making you type and all. But I appreciate all the help you're giving me so far.
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
just make a backup the normal way. Just go into TWRP and tap backup and go from there until it's done backing up the messed up system. You only need to do this so we can get the stock recovery into the backup folder that you can't find.
[HTC Desire 510] AlexG.:
Okay I did a backup and I see the TWRP folder and BACKUP folder in my internal sd, so now what? thank you
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
Copy that cricket stock rom you extracted in there and go back and tap restore and then tap the cricket folder you copied in there and then just swipe to restore it.

I noticed you said "internal sd" but you did mean your external sd card, the one you can remove right? That's the one you should have made the backup on because the internal storage is just not enough space and it will refuse to let you copy the stock rom folder there because it's to big being almost 1GB.
[HTC Desire 510] AlexG.:
After I extracted the .rar file on my desktop, then I put the folder called cricket stock2014-12-22 on my external which is the sd card, Where should I put it at in the TWRP folder?
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
Tap the TWRP and then tap Backups then you should see a folder similar to this FA48XSR09828 (but not the same as mine) tap into that one and then take the entire extracted folder this one "cricketstock2014-12-22" and copy it in there then restore.
[HTC Desire 510] AlexG.:
There's another folder in the FA4 etc called 2015 something release keys, And I see the same files inside of the cricket stock2014 folder, So In that 2015 release keys folder delete those files and put the cricketstock2014 files into that folder? Correct?
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
No delete the other folder that's in there because it's the backup of your broken system after there's no other folders in there then copy your downloaded one in there and then just go restore.
[HTC Desire 510] AlexG.:
YES! Thank you thank you thank you, It worked! Thank you for all of your help with me and with this. I appreciate it all. I'm going to click thanks on every comment / reply for helping me. :)
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
lol you're welcome! Just make sure you create yourself some backups every now and then so you can fix it if something were to happen again.
[HTC Desire 510] AlexG.:
okay I will :)
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
I assume it's fixed now and everything is back the way it should be?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redfenix117:
So to start, I understand that this is completely my fault. I took my time did my research but I still got myself overwhelmed and now I need some help. This is the first time I have tried to mess with a phone so even with all the reading a careful following of instructions I still don't fully understand it as I thought I did. So on my m8.....

I unlocked the bootloader

installed TWRP (at some point)

Rooted....

then never go around to going S-off (thank you life)

I was stuck on 4.4.2 and decided to go back to stock stuff so I could get the lollipop update so I.....

used the Supersu app to unroot

reinstalled the stock recovery

and checked for the update.

It only updated to 4.4.4, I wanted to update to 5 so I downloaded the official 5.0.2 RUU and ran it. I got the error 155 so I relocked it and ran it again. The install went all the way through right up until the end when it displayed an exclimation in a triangle at the end of the progress bar. I followed the recovery intructions in the wizard and now it freezes up about halfway throught the install process and the phone will only boot up to the recovery screen. I can access the bootloader and when I try to run the RUU again it shows that the software numbers are already the same.

At this point I am simply getting frustrated and going no where fast.

at the bottom of the recovery screen it says:

E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg

(Code -1)

E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_yes

(Code -1)

E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_no

(code -1)

handle_cota_install: install cwpkg to /data/data/cwtemp/cwpg.zip

handle_cota_install: install cwprop to /data/data/cwtemp/cwprop

E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument).. try emmc mount handle_cota_install: Can't mount /data/data/cwtemp/cwpkg.zip, 508056 times

So if you have the time and patience please help me out. Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Presumably, this means you are stuck and the RUU won't let you proceed?

I had though that same or greater version number on the RUU (versus what is on the phone) was okay; and just previous/older version RUUs ("downgrading") were prohibited while s-on. Same number being allowed for recovery purposes like yours.

Although I don't think I've ever personally tried to run the "same" version RUU.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hack14u:
I'm gonna guess that the OP solved it? S-Off is king.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Hard to say, when someone comes on here asking for help, then doesn't respond when folks try to help; its impossible to know if they solved it (in which case, they should update us and tell us that) or just haven't had time to come back here.

I understand life gets in the way. So maybe the OP will be back here at some point, even though its been a while (it happens).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
**You can begin the following process from

any

Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**

**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW (The FlashFire BETA Preview app has expired. Set your date prior to 9/1/2015 to continue using the app)

Downloads:

- G870A_OF3_Stock_Rooted_ROM

- G870A_OF3_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM

Previous Builds:

- G870A_OF2_Stock_Rooted_ROM

- G870A_OF2_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM

Set your screen timeout setting to 10 mins before beginning!

1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).

2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.

3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.

4. Press "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.

5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set "Reboot" setting to *"Download."

6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the **flash .

7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the G870A_OC5_Bootloader using Odin's PDA/AP slot.

*If you are already on the OC5 bootloader, set "Reboot" setting to "Normal" and skip Step 7.

**The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition.

Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the AT&T splash screen for about 1 - 2 minutes (10 - 15 mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!

Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!

Optional:

- G870A_OF3_TetherAddOn

- G870A_OF2_TetherAddOn (Flash using FlashFire's "Flash Zip or OTA" option).

Known Issues:

- None!

Notes:

1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.

2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery. The bootloader will not be flashed in order to allow for downgrading to previous firmware versions.

3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.

4. If you do not already have root access (or to unbrick) you must flash the G870AUCU1ANE4_Full_Odin.tar using Odin's PDA/AP slot (Caution! Do not flash if you have taken the OF2 or OF3 ota update) and root with TowelRoot, before continuing with the above process.

5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Using this for about a day and a half. No hiccups yet(didn't xpose yet tho). Tried to move a rarely used (moveable) ap to sd. Unfortunately... has stopped. Leads me to believe movies on ext sd are unreadable by video player. And I'm guessing any torrents nearing max internal memory are useless. Say I want Season 2 of... 8.5Gb total, but I have only 7Gb available. Will I ever get my ext sd back? Even with my old HTC Inspire 4g, I was able to download a 50Gb torrent with my 64Gb sd card inserted.

Not whining about this particular Rom. I love it thus far. Just wish I wasn't being herded to buying a 64Gb internal memory device or have to upload my personal b.s. to the cloud or the like.

My apologies for being OT. But I had my fingers crossed while waiting for this update. Was hoping to use my ext sd for something besides Rom backups.

Lollipop update disables com ports so if you want to do anything diagnostic with Usb port you have to boot into recovery and enable cp logging. NV READER /WRITER and QPST connects to phone then and I was able to make new backup. Can't have to many.

Thanks, but, that page only distills the information already posted in this same thread here about how to get to a rooted OF2 (which I actually already had done, successfully, a while back). My problem is I had the rooted OF2, was getting ready to flash to the rooted OF3, but the stock OTA hijacked me whiel I wasn't looking, forced its way in and tried to update me own its own before I could do that, leaving ,e with a phone that would only boot into Odin mode, and then when I tried to use that, the only thing I had, to flash back to NE4 and start over, that didn't work either, and left me with the rooted OF2 startup screen, and then stuck at the ATT logo (but capable of getting back to Odin, and to recovery mode, but not knowing what to do with those, since flashing back to NE4 via Odin didn't work, and all other available files are for use with flashfire on a running phone, and with me not knowing enough to know how to tweak them for use with Odin or recovery mode :)
