AT&T stock recovery 2.23.502.3

For those that might need it, here is the stock recovery from the 2.23 RUU. If anyone is interested, I could also add to this post exactly how I get the recovery. It took me about 2 hours to get all the info together that I needed in order to pull it off.

Steps to extract stock recovery:
1. Flash stock RUU.

2. Boot into TWRP. Don't flash TWRP to phone, but boot into it running on computer. Do this by using the command "fastboot boot recovery.img". Same steps as flashing a new recovery, but in this case you just boot the phone into this version of recovery. You can use the instructions at the link below, just replace flash with boot.

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/225

3. Root phone by installing SuperSU. Flash the SuperSU.zip from your booted recovery.

4. Reboot phone and update SuperSU from the play store.

5. Connect phone to computer and use ADB to copy recovery partition to img file on phone. I used the guide at this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450045

For the AT&T M8 the block you need to dump is mmcblk0p43

So the command will be this:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

how do you actually use these to get back to stock?

ive had a botched attempt at updating the firmware and installing venomone.

i tried installing these via the all in one kit but it didnt work, it had me try relocking my bootloader and still didnt work.

so now im stuck with a relocked bootloader, and cant figure out how to get back to stock =/

Download zip file and extract it with root explorer of choice
:navigate to extract location and open the extracted folder,once in that folder you should open the next folder and copy the numbered folder over to your TWRP/backup folder as if it was a backup you made.

Or start searching how to RUU back to stock with adb/fastboot

With the OP permission I could make a video of how to use the stock backup from downloading of the file to executing the flashing for a more visual learning

Are you still using the tool kit ?
Try your original key and use the adb/fastboot method .or how about posting the steps you've taken in attempts at unlocking your bootloader this time

Did you ever figure it out? I'm on the same boat and need to update my firmware. I have the same info as you, s-on, same bootloader version, same radio, etc. That's what I was thinking of doing. Flash stock rom, flash recovery, get ota, then flash twrp recovery again. I'm on att as well.

That probably isn't going to do what you want. OTA will only update you to Android 4.4.2 and hboot 3.16, which is what you've already got.

What version firmware are you trying to update to. Or asked another way, what ROM are you trying to run? The issue is a bit complicated now, as the current custom ROMs are split on firmware 3.x or 4.x (neither of which are "officially" released by AT&T yet).

I am currently running ViperOneM8 1.8 and am trying to run ViperOneM8 2.5.0 which requires you to have the 4.4.3 base firmware. From my understanding AT&T released this OTA. The newer roms require 4.4.4 which AT&T has yet to release. I am not trying to update to 4.4.4 since that requires S-OFF, which I dont want to/don't know how to do. Thanks for the reply by the way!

    This thread (maybe whole device?) has been tossed in the trash by the dev community unfortunately. Just Google and their are still new bread crumbs here and there.
    The dev community isn't supporting this device? Not much ever happens in this AT&T thread but check the Android development or original development threads for m8 and there's still a very active community.

    Can someone please post the newest stock recovery from the 5.0.2 lollipop update?
