yes, add it into your twrp AFTER you unzip it.......restore as a backup
+Mikey Thank you! At the risk of sounding dense, is this a full RUU replacement for T-Mobile Sense 6, 5.14.531.1? I mean, it includes all the original files, recovery, boot, firmware, etc, and is not just an updater?

how does one go about making this into something you can restore from a backup?
Does this wipe data? Or is it similar to an OTA, difference being you're just restoring a backup? Also, will this break root?

I had TMOUS stuck on 4.19x (that wasn't eligible for OTA) rooted, stock ROM, TWRP, and I followed directions in this thread, i.e., unzip first, place in TWRP, restore as backup from recovery and it worked perfectly for me- no wiping, no root loss, and One was updated to 5.31 with Sense 6.
If you have different variables, I don;'t know if it would work the same way.
I wish I had read this earlier in the treads. For the past couple of days Ive been trying to update my phone to Sense 6 but I couldnt because its rooted and I cant get s-off because Im on hboot 1.57. I'm gonna try to try this now Thanks in advanced!

Massive thanks to you Mikey, I've been trying to get sense 6 via OTA and RUU for the past week but for some ungodly reason they haven't been working. Its been errors every step of the way. I tried to flash this at first with TWRP and that didn't work, but I then unzipped and restored and that did the trick. Again MASSIVE MASSIVE thanks
quick question does this backup update the radio as well, been trying to find the latest since my phone seems to lose data at random times. thanks
I am currently on ARHD 70.0 running 5.11 firmware. If I flash this through TWRP backup would I need to flash the 5.14 firmware as well? I recently moved to a place with total craps reception and desperate for T-Mobile WiFi Calling.

That's why I don't use any custom ROM with my T-Mo phones and always buy T-Mo branded phones - I live in a comeplete deadzone - and WiFi calling is usually one f the first things that go in custom ROMs. I used to wonder why other carriers didn't add theur own versions of WiFi calling since it still counts against the plan's minutes.

I'm making 2 ROMs right now.
One will be a deodexed, rooted, base for any dev to use to make a ROM. No need to ask for permission, just give me credit. That's all I ask.
There other will be for people who want to go back to complete stock that do not have the RUU.

Pull boot.IMG from my zip. Place it in the kernels folder of my toolkit. Boot into bootloader. Press "with this command" to flash the boot.img.

Questions about the AT&T Stock ROM. When you say "for people who want to go back to complete stock"....
Will this lose root then? Also, will it replace TWRP recovery?
Thanks!

Yes and yes. You might need to relock the bootloader if you flash a stock RUU (not officially available for AT&T yet). Once installed you can unlock and root again.

Since there is no RUU, this is a flashable zip in TWRP. You can flash this to get your phone up and running. However, this will not replace TWRP.
If your phone is messed up and you want root as well, flash the deodexed and rooted ROM.

Oh! OK. My phone is not messed up, I am just waiting on an AT&T deodexed ROM to be made!
So...that leads me to one more question, and I'll leave you alone!
The 'AT&T Stock Deodexed Rooted Base (Devs Only)' ROM in the OP is a fully operational ROM? The statement in the OP "One will be a deodexed, rooted, base for any dev to use to make a ROM" made me think these were base files to be used to create a ROM. So if it is a fully operational ROM, I could use that, right...even if my phone is NOT messed up? (well, that was two questions). I am still stock at the moment...

It's a fully operational ROM. You can flash it even if your phone isnt messed up. So think of it as a custom ROM. You can just flash it in TWRP.

Thanks. Just to make sure I have the steps straight (in a manual method):
Copy 'evitareul_dev_base.zip' to my internal memory ("/storage/internal memory/" in Solid Explorer)
Unlock device with Unlock Code from HTC.dev
Install AT&T Recovery provided in the All-In-One Tool; reboot to bootloader and flash recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Enter Recovery and flash the 'SuperSU.zip' from the all-in-one tool folder
At this time I would be stock and rooted, correct?
Return to bootloader and install kernel provided in the 'AT&T Stock Deodexed Rooted Base (Devs Only)'
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Return to recovery and perform wipes....here is where I am unsure after reading the "Important and Read" threads about the /data/media. I am accustom to doing these wipes from TWRP on my OneX: (1) factory reset, (2) wipe dalvik cache and (3) wipe System....Is that what I need to do for the OneX Plus?
Install 'evitareul_dev_base.zip' ROM from recovery
I appreciate your response! I don't want to mess anything up...I guess I'm over precautious!!
I wiped, guess i wiped the wrong thing, now rom wont boot. i can get to recovery, twrp, but how do i now get this zip on to the phone since i cant boot? mount in twrp im not seeing anything on my computer. ATT X+
@nugzo. Did you have the zip on the device prior to entering recovery and performing the wipes?
EDIT: If so, what wipes did you perform?

yes i did but it was the wrong zip. It was mikes 1986 rom, at the time i didnt realize it wasnt for ATT. So after wiping, i guess i wiped the stock rom. Wiped system, data, and davlik. now it just sits at HTC quietly brilliant screen.

trying the sideload adb in twrp but that didnt work, says no device found. when i do adb devices my device shows though. now i, trying to get this stock rooted installed.
Wiping System, Data, Dalvik definitely wipes the stock ROM!
Hmmmm. Mike's OP states nearly on the first line of his thread: "Not working with AT&T One X+ LTE"
All that I've read is that you have to have the ROM on the device before booting to recovery...but there was a statement that it could be adb pushed:

im trying to help a user restore a stock t mobile phone. weve tried the recovery linked inthe regular one and t mobile sections(both images are md5 04541031ee82ab95598b3cfbd019ad9c)
we need someone who is unlocked and rooted,yet not permantly flashed recovery to dump the stock one for us. you can simply boot recovery(fastboot boot recovery.img) and make a nandroid,then extract the recovery image,or within the booted OS you can :
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p34
then when its finished,
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p34
the image will be in your adb/fastboot folder to upload.
reply,or shoot me a PM if you can be of assistance. again- you must have the STOCK reovery installed,and be using a t mobile usa device.
thanks

thanks very much for the info.
sorry about your sd card. i had no idea that would happen or i would have warned you. seems tho lots of things cause the internal sd to be wiped- ive noticed runnign RUUs has this affect also. if this is a fluke i hope they fix it. if its not its a feature i dont care for.
did you try relocking and doing a factory reset? (both of those will wipe your sd ) i think of putting the stock recovery back is to make tampered go away,those things may be needed.
if you dont want the hassle of relocking and factory reset right now,i competely understand. if anyone else tries it please report and thanks again for flashing for us. it did flash back an apparently working,functional stock recovery,correct?

pretty much anyones nandroid is going to be after unlock,not much way around that. if the missing apps and such are a factor,sounds like we may need to find a way to put them back. or a stinkin RUU
im fairly certain that in your case,tampered stayed becasue the phone did not recognize the stock recovery as its own. for all practical purposes,it could have been CW to the phone
but its quite possible that banner will stay regaurdless what we do,short of running a full ruu(wich will put back the missing apps and such)
Thanks for this!
Alright, I have a problem. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and had twrp installed. I've flashed back to a stock unrooted T-Mobile .7 ROM. I locked the bootloader just fine.
I cannot update with the latest t-mobile OTA. It boots me back to the bootloader with a Security Warning. I've tried to flash the recovery.img listed in the thread, but it just keeps giving me a signature verify fail.
All I want to do is get this thing back to OTA'ness.

I couldn't read it either so I used Google Chrome and had Chrome translate it for me. Basically the recovery is an apk and there is a chinese rom. I have tried the recovery but I have NOT tried rom yet and not sure if I want too as everything will most likely be in chinese.
The recovery Failed to restore the backup it made. It gave the following error
E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"

Not installing anything on my phone that is not at least blessed by the devs here.
It's a site where I can't read the language and the app does things that I have no clue about.
Risk it if you want, but if you end up with a dead device or spyware; don't say I didn't warn you.
it's Chinese rom . I have already flash the rom and worked well
I'm guessing this is probably the same thing as the Chinese recovery that was "discovered" a couple weeks after the phone was released, just being rediscovered. Even if it's something different, if it's an .APK it's more than likely a flash tool rather than a recovery, seeing how the bootloader hasn't been unlocked and all. Also pretty sure it was a Chinese user who posted the other "recovery" and said it worked well for all functions. I dunno about anyone else, but seeing how I'm on Verizon (in the USA) and speak English, I have no use for a "Chinese ROM." Hopefully this goes without saying, but as tech_head said if you try flashing this "ROM" don't expect to have a working G3 when you're done. :silly:

This Rom works 100%! I'm on it right now after switching the language from Chinese back to English it is like a daily driver. We should get a dev to see this! Plus I translated the forum through Google chrome and it is a development forum for the vs985. EDIT: No Data and Random reboots only known issues.
hmmm. ill be looking into this later
I've been using this Chinese CWM bootstrap APK for the longest.... well really only a month because that's how long I've had my G3... I've used this in combination with the kitkat deodexer tool to create a deodexed stock rom which works perfectly.... This CWM is also useful in flashing general mods like the pure audio mod for instance also perfectly flashes (adds a nice volume boost as well).. HOWEVER, people are right to be sketchy about it. For one thing, I don't think this installs any spyware on your phone like some have suggested, but it's by no means a full proof recovery either... yes system backups work, but don't dare try to restore it by any means or you'll get an error after it wipes your system to begin restore, and then you'll have to flash back to stock. Also don't do anything stupid like try and flash TMobile roms to your Verizon G3, because even though it will allow you to flash it and say it completed successfully, you will be overwriting your kernel with an insecure kernel and you will not be able to boot your device up at all.... also if you do something this stupid, you will also block yourself from being able to flash back to stock because your phone will think it's a D851 and not a VS985... Finally, I'd also avoid flashing this Chinese rom... yeah it worked and booted for me, but I had no 4g... I'm sure that if you back up your apn settings beforehand, you'll be fine, but still I'd just avoid it. So long story short, use this recovery, but don't expect miracles from it. Devs should really look into decompiling this bootstrap apk and fixing the mount points, and then we'd have a full functioning tethered CWM.

Absolutely just flash this for a complete stock deodexed system and framework... Don't wipe data or do anything special in cwm, just install zip from storage. Here ya go https://mega.co.nz/#!7ZkTTArS!p9WLDNIatV5VU6gewbFKVSdFR88wzdPUDcgR6SRXjow

If you have any left over odex files in system, I probably didn't bother deodexing them as they are bloatware apps that got deleted.

Install of your zip is working great except I'm missing the LG Keyboard.
Can anyone post a twrp backup of stock kitkat 4.4.4?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 isn't that what this has?

It is, but the collection doesn't include the 4.4.4 AT&T nandroid.
The nandroids are primarily intended for carrier variants that (for so long) did not have access to RUUs. Every AT&T update has had a corresponding RUU, so you don't see many stock nandroids posted.
RUU may just be easier than hunting down a stock nandroid. Although it depends on what the OP intends to do.
I will see if I did a backup before I thought I did but my luck doubt it.
I know why I posted that link. I didn't see any service. I appologize
Thanks for the responses, I was trying to get back to stock so that I can s-off. I tried the ruu but for some reason it won't run on my PC. Ive read around the forum and people have had this same issue but I couldn't fix it.

I wasn't stock when I s-off well I was rooted but stock rom. 5.0.2
Also with that link just search what your Cid is via fastboot commands and download the according backup file. Isn't that the same thing.?
I'm really trying to get more into helping and knowing so please don't hate me If I'm wrong just help correct me. )
Example for me I'm att cw101. So under the Nandroid TWRP backup area look for the cw101 and download file
I read that you should be as close to stock as possible and I like a fool forgot to copy my nandroid backup of my stock rom to my ext sd card when I re unlocked my bootloader. So you were rooted and on stock rom?

Don't quote me. I was seriously having issues because my cid said one thing and the ruu I was trying to use said another.
I would wait for another opinion I'm a noob helper
Thanks

So my question is Nandroid backup the only way to go back to stock. Can you do a ruu
You can definitely use RUU to revert to stock. My PC was having issues running the RUU so I was just trying to restore a nandroid backup of kitkat 4.4.4. I

The nandroid collection thread you linked doesn't have the version the OP is looking for (4.4.4) I already said that. It only has 4.4.2.

Win8 usually causes more issues with RUU than Win7. If your Win7 PC didn't work, it may have been due to USB 3.0 being present (known issue) or a driver issue (very common).
What PC will/will not work is pretty random. My work laptop (Win7) works with no problem. My home PC (also Win7), I needed to uninstall HTC drivers and use "generic" Android MTP drivers to get everything (fastboot, adb, access to internal storage) to work.
It's an alienware area51 7500 (before dell took over) so it's all possible but every thing else worked fine I could connect transfer use adb perfectly. Ruu was only issue

Again, its not the version the OP wants. Android 4.4.4 = software 3.xx. The thread only has 1.xx and 2.xx softwares (4.4.2 and 4.4.3).
Not trying to be contrarian, so hope it doesn't seem that way. I know you mean well.

Yup, understood; and there is nothing wrong with that.
Just trying to point things out, since that is how you will learn.
Its possible that the 4.4.4 nandroid (that the OP wants) is buried somewhere in an existing thread. But I can't recall seeing one posted in the top post of a stock nandroid collection(or similar type thread). The OP's best bet is probably someone to post the nandroid here (and that is what he is asking for).
I could RUU back to 4.4.4 (possible with s-off), make a nandroid and post it. But I don't have time to do that for a while due to kids and business travel. And it would be a significant effort, since then I would then have to RUU back to Lollipop, install TWRP again, and restore back to my current setup. Lots of steps.
I downloaded the 4.4.2 last night. I was on 5.0.2 s-off unlocked rooted. After process was done it asked me if I wanted to install su. I did booted up rooted. What I can do is what you spoke of. I can update to 4.4.4 and then factory reset to get my stuff off and upload. My connection isn't the fastest for upload so it would take some time.

After you update to 4.4.4, in TWRP, I think you can select to just backup the boot and system partitions (and don't select data). Then the nandroid shouldn't contain any personal data, and save you from a factory reset (if that helps at all).
Yeah that would help. Lol
Downloads:
- G900P_PCA_Stock_Deodexed_Rooted_ROM.zip
- G900P_PCA_Stock_Modem+Bootloader.tar.md5 (Required!)
- G900P_PCA_Stock_Recovery.tar.md5 (Optional)
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Flash with TWRP.
3. Completely turn off device (important!) then boot into Download Mode and Odin flash the Modem and Bootloader. The ROM will not boot without them!
4. After a reboot the device will remain on the Sprint splash screen for 10 - 15 minutes before completely rebooting.
Tip: For faster speed turn off animations from Developer Options!
Optional:
- G900P_PCA_Batch_Debloater (Customizable)
Kernel:
- Stock kernel with chainfire's sepolicy patch and BETA SuperSu v2.74.
Notes:
- Your knox warranty bit will be tripped!
- No need to wipe prior to flashing, the ROM will automatically wipe system and userdata.
Thanks for making this dude! Any bugs you know of?
Thanks man! I've been waiting for something like this that makes the update worth trying. Can't wait to update after work.

It's untouched stock, other than deodexed and root, so it should be solid.
@muniz_ri I'm happy to meet you on the s5. I'm grateful
Is the SD Card corrupted issue fixed and if so how did you do it?

I would recommend reseting unless your flashing a rom on the same android version.

Thanks....will do. But no problems going from NK4 to PCA? Will backups from Titanium work across from 4.4.4 to 6.0.1?

Yeah there should be no issues as long as you follw the instructions in the OP. Sorry but i dont really have experiece with using titanium backup, so i wouldnt know how that would work...

Your only issue maybe Applications versions. You are jumping from KK to MM. Download the newest Apps and restore only Data.

@muniz_ri maybe you could create another version of the rom that is more debloated of most of the sprint crap that is preinstalled other than that thanks for making this rom bro!
I tried 4 different downloads. Does it need to be in the root of the internal memory? Or renamed? It keeps saying it's failing validation...twrp 3.0.2.0.

I didn't do a wipe...but that shouldn't impact the validation.
Will not load into Odin after flashing...
Downloaded, flashed, and tried to Odin the bootloader and modem, but phone will not be recognized by Odin. Sugesstions?
what slot do i put the modem/bootloader in? BL or CP? and do i need to get rid of the .md5 extension first?
Edit - put it in BL, odin said pass. Now i'm sitting at the "Sprint" (white background) splash screen. I'll let it simmer for a while. Fingers crossed again
Edit 2 - Hot sh!t...I'm up and running. 10 minutes on the Sprint splash screen. Now to redownload my apps and restore all the data. Ten thumbs up
