You are going to follow his instructions but use the files from this OP
OK, so using the above file and his instructions, I go back to stock. At that point, I should be able to (do my own backup again) grab the OTA from AT&T and then go through the bootloader unlock, TWRP and rooting...correct? My stock backup is corrupt, so this is a lifesaver!!!
Thanks!

I haven't tried the OTA part, but yes you should be read only system with a stock system and boot.img, unfortunately I don't have the recovery image which would be needed for the OTA to actually flash.
Either way glad I could help

Very, very nice! Thanks for capturing the OTA! I'd be glad to help you in the uploading process. Perhaps a good place to upload it would be DevHost or Google Drive? Feel free to let me know if you need help doing so. Once it's uploaded, I'll be sure to update the story I put out earlier on this update: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...6-update-finally-rolls-out-to-att-htc-one-m7/

It's supposed to be. I got the update from my wife's phone which was able to update, but when I tried to apply it to my phone (which won't download the update) with recovery, I get a Check CID Failed and my phone reboots. All you can do is try and see if it works.

OTApkg does not wipe the phone like a RUU... your sdcard and data are safe
If you do have to RUU back to stock be sure and backup everything as it will wipe the phone.

Ok, I thought so. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors. The OTA just fails on its own, and flashing this zip in recovery does too. It says there is a data error in the file or that there is a problem with buil.prop.
I've tried the latest CWM touch, CWM standard, Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img, andrecovery_m7_att_stock_1.26.502.12.img. I've tried clearing cache and dalvik first, mounting system, and even toggling signature verifcation.
Was going to try temp un-rooting (via SuperSU) next. Hoping I don't have to flash the RUU and start from zero. Any other suggestions?
I'm s-off, htc-dev unlocked.
Added screenshots of install after new download of zip and temp un-rooted, install after mounting system, install after toggling verification. build.prop is definitely in system.

I just bought a ZU GPE with 4.4.3 (rooted, custom recovery installed) that has a broken rear camera (can't focus, can't shoot).
Will going back to 4.4.2 fix the issue?

No I had my own that I made as soon as I unlocked boot loader and flashed boot img with recovery.
Edit.. If anyone can answer those questions I linked to, or provide the adb commands needed to pull the system dump I would be grateful.

Once I get a hold of the nandroid backup file, I can restore from ClockworkMod Recovery and the camera will be instantly fixed?
I used to just use RUU files for my HTC M7 and M8 to go back to stock and never used nandroid before.
Once I fix the camera, do I remove custom recovery and then unroot before patching the 4.4.3 OTA?
Sorry about the noob questions. This is my first Sony device. Thank you for your help!

This is my first Sony since the X10a and I have had it for maybe a month. I have more questions than answers, a nandroid from your own device will fix your own device. Never got answer about restoring to another device, camera only stays fixed on 4.4.2 once you update to 4.4.3 it will break again. Word of warning do not flash any Sony ftf files as the GPe has a different partition layout.

I tried it but the phone wouldn't take it because of the version check. I wish there is a patched version.
Btw, what does the 4.4.3 OTA do that breaks the camera? Is it the unlocked boot loader or the presence of custom recovery at the time of update?

I think those are all the partitions, and no one has determined why some people end up with broken cameras on update. I wouldn't try any ZU stuff only GPe ( some of them like system may not brick your phone but then you have frankenfirmware) anyways I am out for the night and phone is going dead, I'll check back tomorrow.

Sorry if I wasn't clear I will try to pull 4.4.2 system img. and boot img. So you could fastboot them per DooMLoRD suggestion. I still am not clear if my nandroid would work on your phone or whether it would put my info at risk. But first thing I am going to try just to satisfy my own curiosity is update to 4.4.3 then flash a boot img. with flashtool, flash custom ROM then try to restore to 4.4.2 using stock recovery and adb. If that works it will be a route for everyone that needs it. I suck at communicating my thoughts into a post but will be willing to help make a guide if it works.
Easy enough to remove the version check in the 4.4.2 ota, and I'm sure that it would then install with only a error on patching the bootloader.
Maybe you should move this to the gpe section so doomlord might see it sooner

@blueether I am at 4.4.2 GPe right now with advanced stock kernel, DooMLoRD posted stock kernel in a flashable zip that we can get boot img from I assume. Now I need to know how to pull the system img and we should be able to get some progress. My idea of trying to go to custom ROM to get back to stock is probably not the best option for someone only needing to downgrade to get camera back.
After running the last step of the just released bootloader unlock, I get this.
Cannot open for read, no such file or directory
I'm copying and pasting, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
Edit- I got it! Making a backup, now. Bring on those ROMs, boys! Woohoo!
Just a thought but for other folks who might run into this issue, you could describe what you did to fix it - i.e., did you make a typo, did you put the file in the wrong directory...

For me, my mistake was it got downloaded to the downloads folder and that's not the director being accessed. I didn't move it to just sit in the sdcard directory outside of a folder. So, when I ran the second command, I'd get your error. Moving the file solves the problem.

Yes because it's the actual Recovery Image ( TWRP ) that's been Bump'd to work on our phones.

1: Search "Sunshine" in your browser and go to the website .
2: Download the Sunshine apk and install it
3: after installing it on your device go ahead and open it,the app will let you know if it is compatible or not .(if it's compatible than accept payment type and continue the process ,its worth the $25 for a great nights sleep)
If it states its not compatible than you may want to flash a stock based sense ROM and run the app again

Anything I read states you must be S-off to convert from one to the other.

Use your first stock backup or download a stock backup and make sure it's rooted.

do i flash it like any rom?
Most backups you download need to be extracted and placed in your TWRP/BACKUP directory and restored like a normal restore .if its your backup you made than wipe data/factory reset from custom recovery and restore the backup of choice ,when finished restoring than reboot system and that should do it
Just as a reference how to guide.the below link is an HTC one but not our m8.either way its going to work the same.

Q : How do i restore the stock nandroid backup
A : In general :
- Place the nandroid backup unpacked on the sdcard of the phone in the right backup folder
* Philz touch uses - Clockworkmod\Backups\
* TWRP uses - TWRP\Backups\ or TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ (replace serialnum with your device's serial number. To have TWRP create the proper directory structure for you, just do a simple backup of just the boot partition and put the backup files in there) thanks to garyd9 for the additional info
- Flash the boot.img or boot.emmc.win file from the nandroid backup

all right thanks anyways.
Hello guys!
I just wanted to ask if it is possible to update Galaxy Note SHV-E160S 32GB Internal from JB 4.1.2 MJ1 to JB 4.1.2 MH2? The phone's build # is E160SKSJMJ1. I want to root the phone using Tegrak's but I cannot seem to find any build that is compatible with MJ1. I hope someone can help me here.
Thanks!
That would actually be downgrading. Shouldn't be a problem through in that case. Since it's the same Android version and the bootloader isn't locked, there shouldn't be a problem. Not sure why you wouldn't try the method I suggested on your other post, but whatever works for you.

Hi es0tericcha0s, since I'm a noob to this rooting process I'm still confused if TWRP can be used to root the phone. If it can, I shouldn't be needing to downgrade the FW and just use TWRP to root it?
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu Download that on your phone, boot to TWRP, install zip, reboot, win.

Thanks es0tericcha0s! Just to be clear on the steps.
I'll flash TWRP on my phone then boot it?
Then put UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip on my phone's root folder
Then install it using TWRP?
Yep yep.

Done! Thanks es0tericcha0s. I really appreciate your help. :good::good:
You're welcome. Glad you finally got it. One more piece of advice : boot back to TWRP and make a nandroid backup. This will get you out of most trouble in case you do something you shouldn't with root.

Alright. Anyway, what do you suggest or recommend to back up instead of backing up all the folders
Boot
System
Data
Efs (if it has that option)
