OK first thing I was asking you to see if you did a Nandroid Back of your Bell Stock Rom that you might need one day....but that won't work now cause your not stock completely........
Secondly if using firewater and gives you WHELP....... IT'S not going to S-Off.....so your SOL.....so now if you wanted to sell your phone and try another to get S-OFF...this is where your Nandroid Backup would of come in handy....<<<<

Okay man chill for now, just to be sure:
- kernel you use now
- recovery you use now
- os you use now
nandroid if you have, and from wich state (before root/custom os)
- the RUU ver of your phone (which do you need, if you don't know tell which country and carrier you use)
Titanium kernel.I did a nandroid backup after rooting.before flashing any roms

Then you will need the ruu of your phone (as I see yours will be from Lebanon the asia 2.09.707.1) from wich you can extract the boot_signed.img because you will need the stock kernel. (this step can be left if you want to stay at the custom kernel, but then OTA will not be install if it will be)
Go to cwm either from hboot or
adb reboot recovery
flash the nandroid backup, and you're ready to go.
If you want to return the stock, flash the standard recovery of the phone (and then the stock kernel is necessary too)
ugh nvm
Guys,
I need a quick help.
I formated my HOX. It was stock, rooted, philz recovery, etc.
No I want to install my stock ota file that I saved to my disk but I have no idea how to do it.
Is there any way to instal my ota file update?
There is no option to install nandroid as I'm blocked by network administrator and can not download anything.
Is there any way to instal my ota file update? if you have any idea please let me know.
Thanks,
Ota files only applies to a stock rom, so you need to be on stock rom before you can successfully install an ota

Does RUU workw while I was on 4.22. Can HBOOT be dwongraded?
Nope can't be downgraded, only if your phone came with S-OFF.
And 4.2.2 ruu's are rare/non existing here.

So the only option is when I go home download NANDROID and proceed on.
Another question? DO I need to keep this ota file (Stock ROM) 4.2? IS there any way that I can use it or it is useless?
Because before I deleted my HOX, I flashed stock recovery, relocked boot loader and booted my phone to recovery in order to flash the file by did not work.
Why wipe the stock rom and apply an ota ?
What you can do is this :
Unlock
Flash custom recovery
Restore stock rom
Flash stock recovery
Update the phone via the menu
No need to install the ota that way.

The point is that Stock ROM wont be installed through philz recovery.
I tried to install it with philz recovery and it says;
file_getprop: Failed to stat "/system/build.prop. No such file or directory.
"Error in sd card.. Status 7. Installation aborted.
You mean restoring the nand ?

I'm talking about the OTA stock file (official rom 4.2 ) that I received during update.
The ota file is of no use without running the stock rom. You need to follow my earlier instructions then you can update easily

Mr. Hofs,
I downloaded nandroid back up but I'm having problem with md5 \. Do you have any idea how to get rid of this problem with md5.
Uhm yeah there might be a solution. Check the general section for the backup collection thread. A possible fix is posted there.

Howdy, new HTC One M8 owner here. Coming from Galaxy S4.
There is a lot information here pretty overwhelming. I'm trying to get my bearings. I have unlocked my BL and have not yet installed a custom recovery or root yet. I also have not taken any updates.
Is there a general consensus on which recovery is most compatible with our device?
What is S-Off? I mean I have the jist secure off, but what does this allow, and how do I achieve S-Off?
How do I verify I'm SIM unlocked and if not procedure to achieve this?
Finally with all of the development is there a thread that runs through the ROMs so I can choose one that best fits my need?
Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk
S-OFF if you change CID and model information and be able to flash any firmware but to flahs normals ROM zip files you absolutely dont need SOFF

See for any device to run a Custom ROM S-OFF is not required.All the custom ROMs have root access by default.You can install Custom ROM in S-on devices.To install Custom Rom all you have to do is have an unlocked bootloader (which you have as you have said it!) and a custom recovery through which you will flash the custom rom.

that's possible, but after full unroot, you'll still have your custom recovery..
after flashing stock recovery you'll have to relock bootloader too
