I'm now able to flash a recovery.img - I've used version 3.62.771.2 H3G UK/SWE/AUT/ITA

but it's not right, and eventually just gives me a red triangle.

It's likely newer than the Nandroid backup I had - which looks like 2.24.771.

Where could i find the appropriate recovery version if at all ?

Well it worked a treat. Thanks to everyone here who helped me claw my way back through the fog lol.

Next time I might just stick with the shipped ROM!

Cheers

    Hi, I'm trying to revert my HTC one to stock ROM. I'd previously followed a tutorial on flashing it to GPE, but I can't find (or more likely don't have the smarts) to get it back to a stock ROM..

    It's a 3 UK model, H3G__001, and I have been having trouble finding a backup, but have found a RAR file called M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID H3G 001 2.24.771.3 .rar from the HTC1guru downloads page.

    Trouble is - I don't know exactly how to restore this file, and despite my best googling efforts, I'm stuck.

    Can anyone help with a step-by-step ? ( Sorry I hate to have to ask )

    Phone Info :

    C:\sdk-tools>fastboot getvar all

    This is the link to the guide. The 4th post is the one which concerns you.
    Also, i would suggest that you use this RUU from htc1guru instead of the one you chose:
    http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-h3g__001-1-28-771-x-2013-04-09-zip/
    The one which u downloaded was TWRP Nandroid. But the guide doesnt explain the TWRP Nandroid as well as CWM Nandroid. So, ive given u the link for the easier method

    Ok. I downloaded the linked CWM zip and renamed it ruu.zip for convenience, but when I try and fastboot flash it, I get :

    C:\sdk-tools>fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
    target reported max download size of 1526722560 bytes

    OKAY [ 39.405s]

    (bootloader) zip header checking...
    (bootloader) zip info parsing...
    FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)

    Should I revert to using the linked one in the article ? I was thinking the zip you linked would be a closer match ?

    you can't flash a nandriod backup like a rom
    you have to copy it to your phone's clockworkmod/backup folder then restore it from recovery ... same for the TWRP nandriod .. it must be copied to TWRP/BACKUP/YourPhoneSN/Dateofbackup

    Like I said lock your bootloader and the Developer edition RUU is your easy out

    Ah turns out it's not quite that simple. Android wants to get OTA updates but when the phone reboots to do it - it enters twrp recovery.

    I need to get the stock recovery back also - so I downloaded what I think is the right version of recovery.img but when I try and fastboot flash it - it fails.

    Would I need the phone back unlocked for this? And if so - how do I go about it now?

    you can either re-unlock the bootloader with the s-off method (guru bootloader tool) to flash your stock recovery or pack up your recovery.img in a firmware.zip and flash it in ruu mode with a locked bootloader.

    To use the guru bootloader tool go to this page: http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/guru-bootloader-reset/

    save the zip on your sd card, boot in recovery, select ''install'' and choose the guru bootloader tool. This will open the aroma installer. Chose to unlock bootloader. be careful not turning back s-on with the tool. The tool only work with s-off phones.

    edit: oh wait! just realized you are on twrp 2.6.0.1. The tool is intended for 2.6.3.3, not sure if it will work...
