Additionately I think we need a boot.img to flash, because everytime I restored a TWRP backup I had to do so. When I didn't I got stuck on boot.

Right. If anybody needs it, he can download the boot.img offered in the viper rom thread, right under installation instructions. It's stock and can be flashed in recovery mode via 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'.

Thanks dude. One thing to note is that I'm pretty sure a nandroid does not restore radio or recovery. So even though it updated those things for you when you were completely stock and ran the actual OTA, I believe that anybody who flashes this nandroid will keep whatever radio and recovery they have when they flash it. If they are on hboot lower than 1.13, they can separately flash the 1.06es radio in TWRP.

should the bootloader be locked? or can i just restore this with un-locked bootloader hboot 1.13 and root?

You are supposedly restoring this back up from recovery and long as you have a custom recovery twrp you can use this.

Additionately I think we need a boot.img to flash, because everytime I restored a TWRP backup I had to do so. When I didn't I got stuck on boot.

ok but like chrikenn said with this backup the radio won't update right?

Besides flashing custom roms, never had to flash boot.img separately when restoring nandroid backup.

If you are s-off you can simply download the RUU and put it on your ext sdcard and then follow the instructions in the post. If you are not s-off just download a custom rom to your ext card and flash it in twrp.

After I restore it back to stock with RUU, will I have to redo root, s-off and twrp recovery? or will everything stay the same and I will just have to add Roms back on

You will keep root. I have an ruu mode TWRP posted there to for your convenience. Alternatively you could flash TWRP and go to advanced and select adb sideload. You can then adb side load a rom to your device

[Q] one xl bricked need help

I have a one xl cid rogers001 hboot 2.14, baseband 0.23a.3 2.09.29.... jb 4.1 with sense 4+
I tried unlock bootloader by htcdev => ok
install recovery => ok. and when i installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236, it was stuck in bootloader. i fogot root my phone before.
so i relock my device, and tried to flash this stock rom using adb : OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.3 2.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl 6j.zip (was found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119610)
On cmd via fastboot i type fastboot erase cache =>ok
fastboot oem rebootRUU => ok
fastboot flash zip "filename.zip" It says " (remote: 12 signature verify fail") in the end cmd
What should i do now?
Thanks for reading and help me pls!!!!

Ok, first mistake is that you thought you needed to be rooted to flash the Viper ROM, you don't. All you need is an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, which you had. You were probably stuck in the bootloader because you forgot to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip with fastboot, you need to do this because you're s-on.
The next mistake you made was attempting to flash an OTA. I don't know what made you think that you could do that but it definitely wasn't found in this forum (or anywhere for that matter). An OTA is only a partial OS, it relies on the correct stock OS to already be installed on the device to build on top of to update the existing OS. It failed for obvious reasons.
Unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom recovery again, and flash the ROM again. Make sure you flash the boot.img this time and it should boot right up. I'd strongly recommend you read the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature. Diving into modifying your device without the proper level of knowledge is a really bad idea.

Did you perform a factory reset from the bootloader at some point? If so you've corrupted your sd card, you should never perform a factory reset from the bootloader. If this is the case you'll need to use TWRP to wipe your sd card, then you should be able to mount it to Windows and use Windows Explorer to format. Once this is done you can for a ROM across again.
Exactly which build of Viper did you try to flash? What's the exact filename? Did you check the md5 before flashing?

yes, i did it more than once, now it's fixed, but when i mount it to Windows using TWRP, nothing happen, so i can't format it. and the same things when i tried to sideload. But in fastboot mode, it usual.
and i flashed the newest rom in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236 ViperXL 4.2 and i didn't check the MD5
back to my previous question, can i fash a custom rom without root?

I asked for the exact filename of the ROM for a reason, I need that please. Also, exactly which recovery are you using?

Yes, you can flash a custom Rom without root. He already answered that. I strongly recommend reading up on your device before flashing anything else. I'd suggest starting with getting your phone s-off.

I disagree. I think it's a better idea for him to get his head around the simple operations like flashing ROMs before attempting s-off.

[Q] Bricked?

I've been in the samsung family for so long that I didn't realize how different flashing can be. I broke my phone so I bought a Moto G. Rooted it right away with only a little trouble. I installed a Lollipop ROM afterward and couldn't get my phone to boot. Guess who forgot to do a backup of the stock ROM? Yay me... but anyway, I found a stock file and went through all the steps in the screenshot. Each time, I got the okay to move on and I assumed I had the stock file flashed. Upon rebooting, I stay at the "warning, bootloader is unlocked" and phone doesn't go any further. I'm not booting up at all and custom recovery is gone now.
Can anyone help? I'm at my wit's end.
Thanks in advance.

Follow this step by step. I did it twice. If your phone boots, it is more than likely recoverable. Once you get everything sorted out and are ready to flash a custom ROM, I recommend Carbon ROM (personal preference).
The lollipop ones are still shaky. I would try em out but they truly aren't daily drivers yet
---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------
Another thought. You have your bootloader unlocked. You can flash the TWRP image through fastboot. Then you can flash the "flashable zip" stock firmware

That's actually the instructions I used to try to flash back to stock. But when it reboots, it never gets past the warning about bootloader. I can get the TWRP recovery back but from there is there another way to flash the "flashable zip"? With Samsung I could always use ODIN but I don't think it works with Moto G. I can't get the zip to internal storage to flash it.
Thanks for the reply by the way I'm going to try it one more time I think....

Get back TWRP custom recovery by booting your phone into bootloader and flash via fastboot. You can get the .IMG file for the falcon from their website latest version is 2.8.5.0
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/233
Then simply install the corresponding stock flashable zip

Quick question. When I go into recovery to flash the zip, do I go to 'advanced' and then ' terminal command'? and go from there? I feel like a noob and I've flashed dozens of roms...

To flash a zip, choose the install option, find the name of the zip, select it, swipe to install it.

The problem is that I didn't make a backup. When I tried flashing back to stock using fastboot everything was wiped. I don't even have the original custom ROM that started the whole mess. The stock file flashed but phone won't boot. I never get passed the boot loader warning screen. I did everything to the tee (following the directions that BBobby posted above. Actually did it twice. Isn't there an ODIN type deal for this phone. Brand new and I've broke it dangit.
Oh and I can't get into the phone to enable us debugging.

There is rsd lite but it may not help. Odin doesn't help if you can't enter download mode too. Usb debugging isn't require to flash a rom or install recovery.
It sounds like your phone is not booting because of the bootloade or the data partition is messed up.

I can get into bootloader and I have TWRP installed and can boot into it. I'm starting to think it's a lost cause. Thanks though y'all.

I also got similar problem as yours. I have xt1033 dual sim phone and i had flashed lollipop 5.0.2 soak version. When official update was released for xt1033 i got back to kitkat 4.4.4 to download ota. But when i flashed kitkat through fastboot it got stuck on unlocked bootloader screen. Only solution i got still is converting to gpe. Only Gpe firmware boots. Im still finding solution for bootloop

You can get into TWRP? What happens when you use it to flash a custom ROM?

I originally flashed a custom ROM but it never would get past the loading screen. I went through all the steps to flash back to stock and now all my data is gone. The ROM I had in my download folder is gone as is all my other info. So I get into TWRP but there's nothing in my phone I can flash.

I've flashed dozens, probably hundreds of ROMs in the past and never ran into such an issue. Custom ROM seemed to take, but got stuck. So I used fastboot and followed the directions to the tee in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
When the ROM is finished flashing (stock that is) it never gets past the bootloader warning screen. If I could just get a zip onto the phone, I could flash through TWRP but I have no idea how to or if it's even possible.

Cwm have a option "sdcard mount" via usb. I dont remember the specific option but you can mount your device and connect it to a computer.

The moto g just needs to do a wipe. Advanced wipe is not necessary. Then install the zip from the folder. By the way you can flash from USB otg (USB storage device such as a flash drive)

I originally flashed a custom ROM but it never would get past the loading screen. I went through all the steps to flash back to stock and now all my data is gone. The ROM I had in my download folder is gone as is all my other info. So I get into TWRP but there's nothing in my phone I can flash.

Cwm have a option "sdcard mount" via usb. I dont remember the specific option but you can mount your device and connect it to a computer.

I'd hug your neck right now if I could get to you!!! I flashed cwm, went to adb sideload and installed a stock rom. My phone is back up and money isn't going to be pissed into the wind because I made a mistake. Thanks to everyone for your help.

Hi,
me too i want to back to stock but i think it's to complicated, so what i know : 1st backup ur current custom rom (for safe ^^);
2nd restore stock recovery; 3th restore RUU for your A9 (hiaeuhl or hiaeul etc ... ) that all i know but i heard that we need to restore the /system partition (i dont backup this before install cm13 :/ ) if anybody know what to do exactly :fingers-crossed: :silly:
the s-on/s-off scare me too xD i dont know what to do to restore stock properly ^^' maybe we have another thread for that i look later

S-on/off has nothing to do with going back to stock (unless you want to change version).
if you flash RUU you'll be 100% stock but you'll lose everything including root
bootloader is fine i guess.

Verify that you have the correct RUU for your phone. If you do, and it still isn't working, try the RUU .exe while your phone is in download mode. Also, make sure you're not using a USB 3.0 port. Sometimes that can cause problems.

Download 1.27.161.6 from post #1, then follow the steps from post #2. I'd try the first method, first.
This should work unless your firmware was updated to a later version than 1.27.161.6.

Gotcha, I'd recommend that you use the external sd/stock recovery method to return to stock. That's probably the most bulletproof way to return to stock. If you no longer have the stock recovery, no problem. It's pretty simple to extract the recovery from the RUU and flash it first.
Also, did you download the RUU again? It is possible that you may have a corrupted RUU.zip if it is crashing your fastboot.

So me i'm on CM13 nightlies with twrp and boot.img modified, to back to stock i had to flash stock recovery( * ) than flash the RUU( ** ) ? that all ?
*: i had to extract it from the RUU coresponding i'm good ? ^^"
**: my cid is HTC_034; my mid is 2PQ910000 so i had to take the 1.10.401.7 RUU i'm good ? ^^' or the 1.56.401.70 or 1.27.401.5 ? i'm lost, on my dowload mode it's say i'm on 1.10.401.7 (but i'm on cm13 latest nightlies ... >< )
Than, when i'm succefully back to stock if i choose to return to cm13 i can flash my backup(recovery+boot+/system+rom) of cm13 with twrp if firmware doesn't upgrade with OTA on stock i'm good ?
Lots of question i know ^^' thx for help.

If you use the sd card method (copy the RUU.zip to external sd) fastboot is no longer necessary. The RUU is flashed using the stock recovery. There's no fastboot to crash at that point.

You shouldn't have any trouble returning to stock at all. I've had quite a few Heineken at this point, but flashing boot, recovery, and system of your stock rom is no problem at all if you have backups.

Could you state how this is done? I recently moved to the A9 from having the M7 since it came out, (which had NO external SD card support) , so this is the 1st I'm hearing of being able to apply an RUU Without fastboot... Does the RUU have to be in any specific folder, or the root of the external SD card?
Any details would be GREATLY appreciated.

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63640734&postcount=2 explains in detail. I THINK this utilizes the stock recovery in the process. In any case, it allows flashing an RUU.zip without any fastboot involvement.

It's possible to return s-on and bootloader locked (not relocked)? Thank's.

Yes i know but u dont understand me i think, for the RUU there 3 version for my phone 1.10 -> 1.27 -> 1.56 so witch one i had to take ? CM13 run with 1.27 ? 1.10 with cm13 isn't possible no ? because on my download mode(bootloader) it's say : OS-1.10.401.7 in theory i would take the 1.10.401.7 RUU but a man (on this forum) tell me this was a bug of cm13 and its run with 1.27 it's wrong ??

Any one of the three would return you to stock, as long as the version number is greater than or equal to the firmware that you have installed. (Which is the topic of this tread...)
As far as compatibility with CM, you should check that thread...but I think CM is compatible with the 1.27 firmware. If you're still s-on, you DO NOT want to upgrade the firmware to a newer version than CM supports, if you intend to use CM.

I'm sure it's possible...just a matter of finding exactly what you need to hex edit and where it is. Experimenting with this likely carries a chance of bricking your device, since the variables would have to be used by HBOOT and/or download mode. Maybe someone else has already accomplished this?

You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash a RUU, not the regular fastboot.exe from the android sdk.

The stock recovery is not used when flashing a RUU from the sdcard. The bootloader handles the process, not the recovery. Stock recovery isn't needed at all, using fastboot or the sdcard methods.

Thanks, Alray, for the clarification on the sd card method.
