Hi all,
Issue with TWRP and restore. I've got a backup, but when I tried to restore it, it would crash and reboot while restoring the /data partition. I try wiping the /data partition (I have my backup on a server, too) and it crashes midway through that, too. Just reboots and returns to TWRP.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Ben
Wipe cache, dalvik cache, fix permissions, then restore.

Tried that, no luck
I'm currently restoring the factory 4.2.2, then installing TWRP and adb'ing the files back over to try restoring again. Hopefully this works.
Thanks,

This issue is mentioned over in the official TWRP forum under "Original Android Development" The Dev acknowledged it, saying he needs to fiddle with it... Might not be bad if you poked your head in there with any other information you could add...
*fingers crossed* Hope they get it patched up soon... I'm a little restore shy now. Up until I encountered this, I was swapping ROMs on a nearly daily basis... No anymore.
I started over again, like you, and it works ok now. But I don't know when/if the problem will rear its ugly head again, so holding off until I hear more.

I'm having the same problem with 2.5.5.0. Happens probably 30% of the time and always during the data restore. It completes on the second go-round, but I'm constantly holding my breath. I was under the impression that this was taken care of in this latest version.

happens about 30% of the time too
I had that happen a lot, I just 2.3.3.0 now and it is perfect.

Rom Toolbox app will let you install it too.

Ain't it the truth.
So I just tried doing the same with my phone and the installation failed, something about illegal instruction. I'm running CM 10.1 on an unlocked, S-OFF HTC Vivid.
Any ideas?

Are you using Rom toolbox? If not, you aren't trying to flash the manta version are you?

No, I tried with RomToolbox, same method as with the N10. I choose 2.3.3 0 from the list, so I assume it was the Holiday version. The first time I tried, it claimed I didn't have permission, but I think that was because it was the first time I was using Rom toolbox since flashing CM so the permission popup came after the fact. I rebooted and that was when the message changed to invalid instruction.
Edit: Tried again with 2.4.1.0. Same result. But I located the files and they are holiday, so I can just flash with fastboot, I guess.

Does anyone know of a stock flashable ROM without Root and Busybox?
I'm aware of the thread guiding people on going back to factory but I don't want to do that. I want to be able to just flash a Rooted ROM if I want one and flash back to standard unrooted if I want using TWRP.
My reason behind this that I spend a lot of time on the train at the minute so decided to get Sky Go. Unfortunately it detects that the device is rooted and won't run.
There are a few threads around the net with scripts and suggestions but nothing seems to work for me.
I don't think there are any..... Hmmm.

You can flash the stock ROM with fastboot but not from within recovery. Get it here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I could make one I suppose, wouldn't take long at all...

If you could do that it would be great.
I was just looking at the tutorial to bake it myself but having issues with Cygwin. Much quicker and easier if you did it.
Owe you one.
I use Linux so it won't take long. You literally want a flashable stock ROM, no changes whatsoever?

Exactly. I use a standard stock rooted ROM usually.
Just realised I don't actually use root for anything at the minute but likely will do in the future.
Thanks again.
I'll try and do it this afternoon but if not this evening once back at home
Uploading at the mo, it's literally the stock ROM dumped into the kitchen and cooked out with no change whatsoever

Very cool that you've done this, but I should give a word of caution: there are some problems that wiping via fastboot will fix, but installing a flashable stock .zip won't fix. For example, when a 16GB phone thinks it's only 8GB. (I have reason to believe that there are other problems that can only be fixed in this way, but I can't prove it. :silly
That's not something the OP cared about, he just needed to 'unroot' to use a TV app that checks for root access
He should give this app a try

I tried that.
I tried a script that was published on the net to remove root and busybox.
I tried removing root and busybox manually.
I tried flashing stock kernal
I tried several other apps.
A flashable stock rom was my last resort as I was under the impression that I'd need to wipe and I didn't want to do that. I just tried it without wiping on the off chance that it worked and it did, so problem solved.
None of my Apps were using Root so I thought I'd get rid of it completely but wanted the option to flash CM10.1 once Bluetooth MAP profile is fixed and working without having to go through putting TWRP on again.
It's all in the OP and posts following that.
EddyOS saw what I was after and offered to help. He's a great dude.
Just for learning purposes, how come no one has made a flashable stock zip until now? Wouldn't it just be like any custom rom but instead its just stock?

The latest I used that worked well was the one Reverepats repacked "Reverpats-TWRP-Sprint-2.6.3.1.zip".
However the one I KNOW works without issues (for me) - installing, wiping, creating AND restoring backups, accessing USB storage etc. is "TWRP-Recovery-jfltespr-2.5.0.2.zip"
There are some AOSP ROMs that recommend using CWM and not TWRP - so keep that in mind. Always try and follow the OP's suggestions.
+1. 2.5.0.2 is a solid one. I used several of the newer ones, and they worked, but not without quirks. Went back to 2.5.0.2 and all is good.
Welcome back!
2.5.0.2 for me. I can't flash aosp RMs with it (not sure if it a twrp/cwm thing or not) but absolutely no issues at all. Backups, sdcard, touchscreen all work great. I'm leaving well-enough alone!

definitely recommend twrp 2.5.0.2, was the only recovery I used til I switched to CWM.
thanks fellaz!! 2.5.0.2 it is!!

Technically not 'repacked' I guess but Reverepats was cool enough to make the zip for some and shared it for all.

I have been using the new version 2.6.3.1 and love it.
Hello guys. I know people have been wanting custom ROMs for this device. I cannot give that, but I can give a modded stock ROM with Shaky156's kernel and touchscreen fix for android 4.4.2. It comes rooted, with OTA disabled(so no need to worry about receiving any updates. IF you do get OTA, let me know and I will fix it. It is a flashable zip for CWM/TWRP.
Install Instructions:
Boot into Recovery(TWRP/CWM)
Do a Factory Reset
Flash ROM
Reboot and Profit

I will try to keep this as updated as possible, may not happen but I will try.
Many thanks!

That is because you cannot do it that way which is why you bootlooped. The CM threads speak of this numerous times. You need to RUU the US developer, then FLASH a Sprint variant ROM (like Bad Boys), then wipe and install CM which will work. The other option is to just use the developer edition with SuperCID/MID and then CM will work without flashing back to Sprint ROM's. I would go with the first option as you will gain better LTE as you wont be on Sprint's "global" connections.

Such a shame this thread went to PM. It seems like it would have been good basic information for experienced flashers whom are new to the HTC world. I came from the Galaxy S5 (SM-900R7 nTelos variant), and had been testing out LineageOS 14.1 on it (as an update to CM13, which I was building myself). This thread would have been helpful to help flash the HTC10 version. Still learning it. Quite different from the Samsungs, for sure!
would someone mind either posting in the thread or PM me back with a link or guide, step by step how to install Cyanogenmod. I have rooted a few Samsung phones before, but once I have them rooted and running stable I usually leave them alone...point being I have not rooted a phone in two years....
I'll be getting my HTC 10 Sprint phone tomorrow, so I would love a full step by step how to root, install twrp and finally how to install the ROM...BTW I used to run a ROM called liquid smooth....does that ROM still exists?
Is Cyanogenmod the best most stable ROM for the HTC 10 Sprint?
Im going to help the community as much as i can lol i'm going to start a separate thread on how to install Lineage sometime this weekend when i have time ..mind you this is my first time starting one so bare with me.
I can't seem to find the instructional thread..? I've been rooting & flashing HTC phones since the HTC 4G LTE, but this thing is a different beast entirely. I've unlocked via HTC Dev, installed unofficial TWRP 3.0.3-9, flashed the custom SU, & installed Viper (did all that from stock N). Viper is definitely super solid, but I've always preferred the CM/AOSP platform. I've wiped the internal like I've done a thousand times & flashed Lineage + gapps (arm64). the phone boots & gets to the lineage boot animation & sits there indefinitely. I let it sit for almost an hour, & obviously it wasn't going to boot.
What am I missing, guys? Any & all help will be greatly appreciated.
any ideas?

They dont have any roms built for the CDMA 10, notice there are no CM or AOSP roms in the SPrint htc 10 rom section. It probably didn't boot completely cause of a kernel mismatch.
there are people in the LOS thread saying they're on Sprint running it. I just can't follow their methods, which is why I was hoping for a tut.

Correct. You must be S-Off to do this. Put the .zip file, named 2PS6IMG.zip, on the root of your ext sd card, reboot to bootloader and flash it. After successfully flashing that file, you'll be able to run AOSP without issue. Like you said, download and flash. Enjoy! ?
