[RELEASE][NANDROID] Rooted Factory-Stock ROM

Hi all!
Well, thanks to everyone for their donations-- without you, this wouldn't be possible.
I present to you, one stepping stone towards custom ROMs: the shipping ROM on the device, backed up as a NANDROID.
What is this?
This is the shipping ROM on the device. There are no changes to this ROM besides being rooted.

How do I use this?
Extract the contents of this file to your SD card (external SD card) under
Code:
/clockworkmod/backups/
and you will end up with a
Code:
/clockworkmod/backups/revo_stock
folder.
Run Clockwork on your device, and select "Backups and Restore" then "Advanced Restore". Select "revo_stock" as the backup to restore, and choose to restore ONLY "system".
(You can also restore boot.img, but it is unnecessary, and I only left that in there for future use.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What does this backup include?
This backup ONLY includes /system and boot.img. There is no recovery.img in this backup, nor is there a /data or /cache.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Will I lose my apps or information if I restore this backup?
No you will not, this backup will not touch your /data partition.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why is this useful?
Accidentally erased something important in /system?
Removed something and now 4g Hotspot doesn't work?
Restore this, and it'll fix that... of course all the stock OS will come back, but hey-- you get a second chance

Haha! No worries, it's 3:30AM

do i push this through adb or do i extract it on windows then put it on my sd card.

Extract through windows and put on your SD card in the proper folder.

its telling me that i have a md5 mismatch!!! i will try downloading it again.

Thanks cube please keep up the hard work! I wish I could do something to help other then sending some $$$ I would love to help bring the revolution along.
Viva la revolution.

Did anybody use this yet. i tried and it says my md5 does not match. i tried numerous times

Haven't tried it yet but I checked the MD5 against the images and they are correct.

Ah, sorry, forgot to state select "Advanced Restore" or whatever it's called-- JUST restore system.img.
If you select "Restore" it looks for the /data and recovery.img in the nandroid.md5 file, and when it doesn't find it, it errors out with an md5 error.
I'll edit the instructions now...

Just tested this. I can't advanced restore the system.img either. Comes back with MD5 mismatch. I can restore my own backups without a hitch however.
[Edit] I forgot to mention. There's a carriage return on the Rooted Factory-Stock ROM MD5 file. Removing it didn't seem to matter. I was thinking that maybe it was the culprit.

Agh! you just gave me the answer... I saved it in windows, rather than linux, so the line endings are wrong...
If you're able to, just open the file nandroid.md5 in Notepad++ or something like it, and remove the extra blank line, and change the line endings to UNIX style.
Thanks, I'll re-upload the .zip when I'm on a faster connection.
The actual .img files themselves are good, though.

thanks thecube, it worked with the notepade++ steps and unix style.

re-uploaded. Should work just fine now.

Is there a version of this with everything? In other words, not just system but data, etc. I somehow am stuck in CWR...don't have a nandroid backup. I pushed this to the right place on the SD card, did the system restore, but it still repeatedly boots into CWR. Is there anything that will do a FULL restore instead of just system?
Thanks in advance.

Hm, so you did a data wipe from within Android. Yep, that'll get you stuck in CWR, but it's not a problem with the backup, it's that the LG bootloader isn't happy with Clockwork.
When installing Clockwork, did you make the p8 backup?

so im having the same problem i even started a thread too but im an idiot and didnt make that p8 backup because the md5sum didnt match so i stopped there but clockwork still seem to flashed to the phone now im in clockwork everytime i boot up was wondering any way to work around this if not guess imma just get a new phone until there is a way

There is a way, I just haven't written it into an easy-to-use program yet.
For now, if you haven't made a p8 backup, the easiest method is for you to come on IRC and have me adb into your phone and fix it for you.
If I get a spare moment though, I will work on a stuckinclockwork.zip that you can flash using clockwork to get you out of clockwork.

Can't install Revolt 1.5 - mtmichaelson

I downloaded it from both links to make sure. When I go to install ZIP from SD card, I get the following message:
Installing: /sdcard/RevoltRom1.5.zip

E:Can’t open /sdcard/RevoltRom1.5.zip

I would post this in the Revolt thread, but it keeps saying I don't have permission to post there. Any ideas?

With you 100% there. No offense, but I think that rule is lame. Forums don't want you posting 'like threads' about a subject, yet you aren't allowed to post there. Maybe something that should be changed? Does it really take a user that has posted at least 10 posts to 'have experience'? I know what I am doing..
Ok, now that my gripe is out of the way... LoL
I get the same error. I think there is something wrong with the zip file. I downloaded directly to my phone twice. I am now downloading it to my computer that I am on and going to see if I can open the zip file there. If so, may try re-zipping and copying to my phone and seeing if that helps.
I will report back on result...

Rezipped files (again, using 7zip, NORMAL compression)
Copied to phone, reboot recover, installed!!
Hope this helps others until the file is fixed by mtmichaelson.
Loved the startup animation. cool. Can't wait to check out more. Use my phone for internet and wanted to post this asap for others to see.

Sounds like it didn't get signed before he uploaded it. Or maybe the wrong compression method.

Thanks guys for the heads up!!! Will have fix posted in about 10 minutes!!! And Cybie, good job with figuring out the fix! CWM files can be sensitive sometimes lol! Since I screwed up, the new 1.5 post has an added bonus! Check out the Dev section!!!

He updated the OP with a working version guys!!! I also just released "Iconic HD Revolted" that will flash over 1.5.

Working now. Thanks All!

Glad I was able to help figure out that it was just a bad zip file. Sometimes those things just happen.

mtmichaelson,
You mentioned the need for a guinea pig for the V6 radio update. Worst case scenario is that it bricks my phone, correct? How likely is that to occur? If it does, is it irreversible?
If there is at least some way of restoring the phone, I'm game. If there's not, I may be acquiring a "throwaway" Revo in the next few days, which I'd happily donate to the Revolt cause. I'll get back to you to confirm that before the end of the week.

I'll go ahead and echo the sentiment of dislike for that rule regarding the Dev forum. I have over 10 posts and still can't post there; have I been blacklisted? 0.o

I tried this and many others on my T210R with TWRP 2.7.1.0. Nothing has stuck. It's like I don't have an OS on it at all. If I reboot, it just boots into recovery, nothing else. Where did I go wrong?

TWRP Backup

Recently @Captain_Throwback made a custom TWRP image. My 626s is very broken. I don't even have a system image. I really need someone to install the recovery and backup their system image and send me a link so i can fix my 626s.
Link to TWRP:https://basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/Desire 626s/Recovery/TWRP

Will do this as soon as I get home and I'll post a link for you.

Bad news this TWRP build like my unreleased builds have the same issue the stock kernel disables the digitizer when booted to the Recovery partition. Good News HTC finally released the Kernel Source so we can fix this issue. I probably wont be able to work on this since I am currently now working 55 hours a week for the next two months and have very little free time on my hands
Never mind it works i'm just really tired

then you have partial root. its a normal issue, that happens often enough. to be 100% sure, you can try editing tour build.prop file. if the edits stay after a reboot then you have full root. if they don't stay after a reboot, then you have partial root. which is why viper isn't working. it can also be that your system is full. you can delete whichever apps you don't use from /system/app/, which will give you space. you did say you flashed it but it never appeared. if its full, it can't appear.

i know, google did it on purpose. to fix that delete whichever system apps you dont use. and storage has nothing to do with system space. system space iz held in a seperate partition.
