I have been downgraded the phone from 2.2 to 1.31 and then created the goldcard.
I started step 1 of rooting, it worked fine until I continued to step 2.
It happened to be like in the attach file
"failed to copy 'rootedupdate.zip' to '/sdcard/rootedupdate.zip' : I/O error"
then I selected Wipe option after that I tried to select "Flash zip from sdcard"
and it showed "E:No zip files found"
What should I do?
Please help me

Thank you

maybe you can try manually putting the rootedupdate.zip in your sd card root folder using your computer? then try wiping and flashing the rootedupdate.zip again when you get to that screen. I am not expert, just a thought
I'll write here what I wrote in another thread, I think it can be a solution for you as well:
Try booting to normal mode, then connect the device to the computer as a removable disk (or connect your sdcard to the computer with an sdcard to usb adapter)
After that, put on your sdcard the recovery update.zip found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
after that, boot in recovery. press vol-up + power and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"
Then you'll get a CWM recovery menu where you can install any ROM (should put the ROM on the sdcard ofcrouse), and that saves you from running step2.
Well. I was using cm9.1 from some days but it did't convince me, i have some freezes in the phone with certain apps so I decide to try MIUI. And there is what I did:
1. Restart phne in Recovery
2. Format Data
3. Format Cache
4. Format Dalvik
5. Format Battery Stats
6. Format System
7. Format SDcard
Now i try to mount USB to copy the .zip from my PC but the PC make a strange sound and never mount the USB. How can i get the .zip to the phone to install any ROM.
Help please
By the way, I can get into fastboot, even try "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" but it just says (failed remote partition does not exist)
Why the **** you formatted SD CARD?
"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
I keep asking myself the same question over and over!
I just try to install Stock .tft file with Flashtool but when the process start the phone reboot itself and quit the Flashtool mode.
I know the SD card hasn't been damage because when I use the "report error" option in CWM it create correctly the Folder, however i still can't acces the SDcard from my PC to copy any of my backups or a .zip ROM
Any hints?
I solved it. If for any reason anybody have the same problem here is what I did:
1. Find a stock rom in .ftf
2. Install flashtools and your phone drivers.
3. Flash the .ftf with flashtools
And that's it. You should have your phone fully functional, like new (no root, no CWM)
However there is a trick with flashtool mode in the phone. In my case the phone keep restarting just before the flash process begins. To solve this try to start the process and just when the phone reboot click one time the vol down key. The phone should now keep in flashtool mode and complete the flash process
I hope you've started reading this article after reading my main article if no then read it first and then come here.

Method 3:
In this method we're using stock recovery to root our device.
Prerequisites:
1) SU Package
Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e2eh1pcju9s7zot/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
2) SU BIN
Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y4ser23fhay2nv4/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed (1).zip
Sources and thanks:
1) Thanks to XDA i've taken a lot of resources from XDA.
2) Thanks to me( kidding)
3) Thanks to developer of mobile uncle tools.
4) Thanks to micromax for a beautiful device.
5) Taken help from google.
How to Root:
1. Copy both the files to the root of your SD card. Now what is Root , root layer is the top most layer. That is just open the SD card and place it there itself do not place it inside a folder or sub folder.
2. Now again restart the phone to recovery mode by pressing Power Key + Volume UP + Volume Down Key.
3. You will see an Android icon with warning/error on the screen, press the power button.
4. You will see the recovery mode menus in the screen. Now this is tricky, to select any option from the screen you have to press two touch buttons simultaneously on your phone’s bottom, left one which is for the menu and right one which is for going to the previous screen. You have to keep pressing it for 5-6 seconds.
5. From the recovery screen select “wipe data/factory reset” and then “wipe cache partition”
6. Once it’s done, select “apply update from sd card” option and choose the file “Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip” from the SD card.
7. Repeat the above step and choose the file “su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip”.
Once you flash both the files select the option “reboot system now” from the recovery screen.
Verification:
Now you'll most probably see an app super user which almost confirms you've successfully rooted
but still if you have doubt download some app like root checker(free in playstore) to confirm whether you've successfully rooted or not.
Now how to install CWM recovery?
1) Place the CWM image in the root of your sd card. Now what is Root , root layer is the top most layer. That is just open the SD card and place it there itself do not place it inside a folder or sub folder only then mobile uncle tool can recognize it.
2) Install mobile uncle tools.
3) Open Mobile uncle tools and select the option Recovery update.
Now you'll see the file you placed in your sd card ,now click it and then click ok. Now it will ask "boot into recovery mode" click yes and now you are in CWM recovery!
Note: If you have connected to internet while doing this you may get loads of other options after clicking recovery update don't worry just click the one you placed in sd card. verify the name twice.

While moving the files windows shouldn't ask and if it asks then there is some problem here. Before doing this procedure were you already rooted?
Have you placed it in the root? If so then try pasting it in the internal sd and the external sd( one of them should definitely be recognized).
Hello experts, I am a completely newbie. I just bought the HTC One m8, and I managed to install twrp, I then watched a video from youtube which showed me how to back up my stock ROM into the *internal* unit using twrp. The video did not mentioned I have to copy the file to the micro SD card first. The video continues to wipe the internal drive, and then do a restore (from the sd card). Unfortunately, when I do the same, wipe the internal drive, and then try to do a restore, only to find that the image is no where to be found in the internal drive. I didnot have a backup in the sd card. I try to look for the image file in the internal drive and I couldn't find the backup file. I came to this site and from the "collection of stock backups" thread and downloaded the nandroid backup for my HTC One m8 which is the "CID BS_US001". I then use my PC to copy this 2.22.1540.4.zip file into my sd card, put the sd card into the HTC unit and go into recovery mode in the twrp (down volume and power), and try to do a restore via the restore button, but it does not work. I don't know exactly the procedures I need to take to restore this stock ROM back to my phone. I want to thank you for providing this file, and I hope the experts here will not find my question a nuisance. I really needed help, I try to take the unit to a shop and they couldn't help. I now have the backup image file downloaded from collection of stock backups. I know the answer is pretty easy, please help. Thanks.

What part of it doesn't work? Can you not find the file? Does it give an error message? Info like that will be very helpful for us to help you.
Thank you es0tericcha0s, I put the 2.22.1540.4.zip file in the sd card. This is the nandroid zip file I downloaded in COLLECTION of Stock backup's for my HTC One m8 model. I did not use the linux adb command to push the file into the sd card, I just just Windows 7's file copy method to copy the zip file to the card. I supposed this means the same thing. I use twrp recovery method, and have already installed the twrp tool into my HTC, the HTC is *unlocked* but I am not sure if it is rooted as well. I booted the HTC by pressing the down volume button and the power button, I went into recovery mode. When I clicked the restore icon in the twrp menu, the internal storage is empty, there is a message that saids internal storage (25404 mb) at the top, I supposed that can't be my original backup nandroid file (too small), the nandroid file downloaded in COLLECTION of Stock backup is located in my sd card (the zip file). I don't know how to find the zip file in the sd card (what button combinations to press etc). There are 3 buttons in the bottom of the restore screen, the middle button when pressed, bring me into the screen that saids in the bottom updating partition details .... Full SELinus support is present (without the usb cable hooking to the PC).
So to summarized, my questions are:
1). does the 2.22.1540.4.zip file in my sd card is all I need for the backup image, do I need to unzip the file first and then change a few things, renaming boot.emmc.win to boot.img, etc.
2). how to get to the sd card to select this file to do a full restore.
3). Does the file 2.22.1540.4.zip found in COLLECTION of Stock backup truly is a saved file to restore, i.e., the actual original backup file. It seems big, at 1.5 gb.
Thank you for any help.

Ok, now I see where you are at. This should be easier than you think. So here's what you'll want to do:
Reboot to TWRP
Go to Backup ( I know, counterintuitive, but stay with me...)
Backup just the boot.img (This is to create the correct backup folder name/layout)
Unzip the nandroid zip and move all the .img and other files into the TWRP backup folder that has the boot.img that you backed up in it - just overwrite the boot.img you have there
Now go to Restore and you should see your option there now.
Your version of TWRP most likely has a file manager (under Advanced) and you should be able to unzip and move the necessary files all within TWRP. Make sure to pay attention to which storage option you are in if you have internal and external storage options.
If the restore is successful and the phone still does not boot, then return to recovery and perform a reset. If it still does not boot after that, then you'll need to copy the boot.img to a PC and use fastboot to install that.
Thank you es0tericcha0s
Thank you es0tericcha0s,
Based on your response, I am now able to do a full restore of the HTC One m8 stock ROM. What I did was to unzip the Nandroid backup file first and then copied the whole unzip directory into the twrp/backup folder, I then just do a normal restore from the twrp recovery menu, and it worked beautifully. Thanks again.
