Stock Backups + OTA's

Rydah · Jun 18, 2014

Hey Guys, thought I'd share some stock TWRP backups of our available roms. They only include backups of the boot.img (kernel) and /system partition, and are safe to flash on any Sprint HTC One M8. Stock Backups made using @Captain_Throwback's modded TWRP. (2.7.1.0 if it matters...)

Download/Install Instructions:

For now, download the files one by one, I will most likely upload them zipped up so that you can download them in one file, and only have to unzip.

To restore the backup, make sure you have downloaded the entire backup. Place all parts on your SD Card (Internal or External, whatever you use for TWRP) inside the TWRP backups folder. (Example, /sdcard2/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOURSERIAL#//1.12.651.17/FILESGOHERE) Once you got the backup files in place, reboot into recovery, select restore and pick the backup you just downloaded... Make sure to wipe cache/dalvik cache before rebooting.

Stock "Nandroid" Backup Downloads:

Here are the OTA files, incase anybody would like to manually download and flash or pick at...

OTA Downloads:

1.54.651.8
HK:
1.54.654.15

As a little bonus, here is the stock recovery for peeps who wan't to take an OTA, AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION. (S-OFF Prior To Taking An OTA Recommended...)

Stock Recovery From 1.54.651.8 OTA
Read Below For Instructions...

There are two options.

First, manually flashing the recovery.img in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) or using an app like flashify.

Second option is in bootloader, using the 0P6BIMG.zip, placing it on the root of your ext-sd card. Both options are available to download in the link above.

W.I.P. WILL BE UPDATING OP PERIODICALLY. IN THE MEAN TIME, I HAVE PERSONALLY TESTED ALL THE DOWNLOADS I AM POSTING/SHARING, AND CAN CONFIRM THEY DO WORK, IN THE CASE YOU SHOULD HAVE AN ISSUE, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. I AM HERE TO HELP. BE BACK LATER TO UPDATE OP...

Did you backup data too for the preload folder (there are a couple of others too)?

P.S. The OTA at the bottom of your post should be 1.54.651.8, not .9.

Whhhhops, fixed that typo. Thanks!

No, no data. I thought about it. Think I'll get to that tomorrow or Thursday. Initially, I was just going to make a flashable for pre-load, but one restore done makes more sense with the purpose of posting the backups...

Thanks Again Capt. your always helpful!

I'm on stuck at the boot screen for quite some time. How long is it supposed to take?

Rydah · Apr 30, 2014

You serious?

I've seen what feels like a full 10 min. Which backup, did you place all parts on your sdcard and what is the file path you placed the files in? Also did it give any error?

I didn't wait 10 mins, maybe 6 tried a reboot and no go. But my path was sdcard2/twrp/BACKUPS/myfile #//1.54.651.8_StockBackup_Full and it said successful...hmm maybe I'll wait a longer next time.

Hmmmm, looks correct. Did you try wiping both caches? Let me know. I'll get an MD5.

No, I didn't wipe those.

Edit: Factory reset, wipe both caches, and it worked

Weird... Must have been caches though, I've been able to dirty restore (leaving data intact.) I'll add instructions to wipe caches to OP

Matter fact, I'll be reuploading later today. 1.54.651.8 anyways. It is stock, but I left over two files that were extra. Not that it matters, cause you'll still be up and running and be able to OTA, but I don't like sloppiness.

No problem. I keep them around for myself, and figured others could benefit from this. :good::good::good:
