Hi All,

I am currently returning to stock, and have gone through some very weird and wonderful ways to get to where I am.

However, after hitting a brick wall in my last attempt (now solved by the recently released firewater s-off) I would like to finally complete the process.

Also, ideally, I would like to get to a point where I can make a few minor changes, flash a new rom, and switch between stock and my GE 4.4.2 custom ROM, can anyone advise if this is possible also?

Now, onto the problem, please be aware I have posted this thread which i got some fantastic support on, unfortunately I have hit issues further down the line.

Please see phone details below;

(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.44.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.13.3231.27
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 1.28.401.7
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
(bootloader) serialno: -
(bootloader) imei: -
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0710000
(bootloader) cidnum: H3G__001
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4330mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: off
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
getvar:all FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.071s

The error I am currently getting is that the backup folder is not appearing in the list of available restores. I have always got stuck at this point, however let me give you the exact steps. Once the RUU has been flashed I change the CID to H3G__001. I then boot (not flash) into CWM recovery. I then adb push the original CWM backup file to the location in the thread. It then says no restore files available when i try and restore.

Note: Do i need to be rooted to do this? Obviously I am not after flashing the stock Europe RUU, I had managed to get the folder to appear as a restore by rooting, and then copying into the folder in explorer on a desktop. When I tried to run this it advised me that the MD5 did not match....


Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have postponed my repair for a while and would really like to get this resolved so I can stop pestering XDA!!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

how you are pushing the backup?

As per the guide, I am booting into CWM recovery (not flashing), and once in the recovery I am pushing via the 'adb push' command, see results below;

C:\Users\james.mildren>adb push C:\Users\James.mildren\Desktop\H3G\2013-04-20.21
.00.00 /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/2013-04-20.21.00.00

after pushing do restart your recovery; and "fastboot erase cache" via bootloader
or push all files via Android PC and change the folder name to something simpler

    After running




    There is no restore files available (As there should be, i presume)?

    why you removed your backup, in first place?
    you can try Titanium Backup, which allows you to restore your recovery backups (CWM & TWRP) ;)

    No, I am looking to return to stock, I need to get the original H3G UK restore completed?
