sorry, you feel that way man. Was just trying to help this guy out. Didn't realize I was hijacking, thought the forum intention was to share information and help others out. I had just been through a similar issue.

yeah.. that's no problem. it might just would have been better to cooperate together and help him together... but now there's almost no overview.. so just continue... I have some other guys with problems...

any idea what rom i can get to load on a rogers htc one?

I think you can take your pick, just check the requirements for installing.
If you want stock Rogers, I think I've read their support may install the ruu with you. Not sure why they don't post one like other vendors. If your plan is to move to kitkat that may be they way to go, since you are not s-off and can't flash updated firmware.

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-roger001-1-29-631-4-2013-06-03-zip/

got the error above

all the roms i find need me to run s-off first, i need to get a rom running so i can run s-off

unless anyone knows how to do that from where i am?

That's too old of an nandroid. You need a 3.22.661 version

This one but you may need to flash twrp to install

and don't forget this nandroid you linked (3.22) was made with TWRP recovery, and MAY not restore properly with CWM recovery. So if you want to restore with this nandroid, you should flash twrp 2.6.6.3 as recovery instead of cwm just in case.

ok so how do i do that? i can't mount the sd card to load the recovery to?

you can use adb from custom recovery..


adb push name_of_file.zip /sdcard/

then in recovery go to your backup/restore function then select restore and choose the zip

i can't tell is the push is working, and i had a backup on the sdcard but i can't get to it in clockwork, it keeps saying can't mount sdcard
it also throws the can't load \cashe\recovery\last_install

  • download twrp recovery 2.6.6.3 and save it to your abd/fastboot folder
  • boot your phone in bootloader mode and select fastboot usb
  • open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

  • boot in twrp recovery
  • download this twrp nandroid backup and save it to your adb/fastboot folder
  • extract the .zip it will give you a folder containing backup files. Copy the name of this folder (to be used in next cmd)
  • in the cmd prompt:
Code:
adb push [B]name_of_folder[/B] /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/[B]name_of_folder[/B]
  • in twrp select ''restore''
  • choose the backup you just pushed and swipe to confirm you want to restore from this backup
  • reboot phone to system

it says it pushed but it doesn't show the file in the restore any reason for that?

    you can't.... your phone is (re)locked and so you can't flash anything using fastboot... sorry about that...

    edit: or at least it seems like if your bootloader is locked...
    If you are s off.... just mention me.. I know another trick of how to flash a recovery... :)

    Mate, as asked, are you UNLOCKED?
