do you have any custom launcher? because that is a reason that prevents from updating your device !!! if you are not rooted you can easily update to JB

JB OTA doesn't work for me either and I'm 100% stock.
Downloads fine, reboots to install, and then get a little green robot with a red exclaimation mark, then boots back to the homescreen and says Update Failed.

Same issue here.
Mine was unlocked, rooted, CWM installed.
Ive since removed CWM but have the exact same issue now as you.
Ive also tried updating with the OTA file via factory recovery. This also fails part way through the process.
Currently Im trying a factory reset and OTA update. Its been a 3 hour mission so far........

Factory reset....still fails. What a joke.
---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------
Anyone have any words of wisdom as to another update procedure we can try?

Installing the factory OTA update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028814 (81.5.39001-91.2.29001.Retail.en.GB 4.0.4-4.1.2)
From recovery (default) updating from external storage gives the following error:
Code:
qe 0/1
-- Install /mnt/sdcard/ ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
Installing update ...
Verifying current system ...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:boot:fsdf93r9ejfwfjdsjgg.....lots of letters........")
E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
Do we perhaps need to remove root?

I am pretty much the same as everyone else,
I have the bootloader unlocked and it is rooted, using stock ICS (No CFW what so ever)
I download update, install, get 1/4 of the way and then Andy is on his back with a red "!" above him.
Now i read somewhere yesterday that you need to un-root your phone, and then flash some stock firmware back onto it where you can the upgrade to JB?
If this is true can you direct me (and probably many others) to a link to do such thing?
Cheers
Bradley

Im thinking flashing:
CFC_8.7.1I-110_IFW-39_S7_UCASMI01E1017.0R_USASMIICSRTGB_P042_A005_S1FF_fb.xml.zip
from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/smi/list.php. That will get us back to standard retail firmware and try again?
[q] How does that effect the current unlocked status of our device? Im assuming it wont

Success!
Using RSDLite 6.1.4
Flash (retail gb) CFC_8.7.1I-110_IFW-39_S7_UCASMI01E1017.0R_USASMIICSRTGB_P042_A005_S1FF_fb.xml
Then stock recovery to flash 4.1.2 update zip
It took sometime 'Updating radio..' but otherwise processed as normal.
Its odd that it wouldn't update what was basically a stock phone to start with, but still got there in the end......

My xt890 won't come up in the LSD lite programme?
Any one know how to fix this?

Are you in boot mode? eg pc/usb cable plugged in, press power and volume + to start phone.

Usb debugging is Checked and I put it into recovery.
I am running windows 8 with my Usb cable plugged into a 3.0 Usb socket

Are you able to issue fastboot commands to the phone (confirming its not a driver / connection isssue)
Perhaps someone else can confirm the operation of rsdlite under Win8?

At last I got it to work and now my razr is on JB, all i had to do was use my laptop running xp (Doesn't work on windows 8)

The rooting method was flawless and very easy. Thank you very much for that. Now I would like to ask what to expect next. Since I didn't install a new rom after rooting and I'm still on stock what should I do if an OTA update comes out? Is it safe to take the update?

Does the HTC root method still completely (and needlessly) wipe the device? I remember it doing this from my EVO 3D days...

All this method will do is unlock your bootloader(HtcDev) install TWRP or CMW and flash a superuser app of your choice AFAIK it won't wipe anything
Step 13 (HtcDev)
On your phone you will now see the disclaimer. Please read this carefully as this action may void your warranty. Use the Volume buttons to highlight your choice, and the Power button to make your selection. If you select Yes, your phone will be reset to its’ factory default settings, and your bootloader will be unlocked. If you select No, your phone will reboot and no modifications will have been made.

Unlocking phone bootloader does indeed completely wipe everything save for system software.

ABD/Fastboot setup windows 8

Does ADB and fastboot install automatically with the HTC drivers or must it still be downloaded separately and installed? I have the adb file and trying to obtain s-off (using moonshine) but having issues doing so. I tried following a guide online however I believe it was written with windows 7 in mind.
My goal is to root and install the Google Edition 4.3 android then flash a custom kernel. Any guides would be great. My last phone was an HTC evo 4g LTE and it's been a new laptop and new version of windows ago since I went through the process. I'm completely behind playing catch up.
Thanks!

This is the website I used: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...wrp-root-google-play-edition-htc-one-0148146/
A couple things to note (from my experience following this tutorial):
-The first time I fastboot flashed TWRP, it didn't stick. I had to do it again, and then it stuck.
-When I rebooted to system from TWRP and let it root me using the SuperSU installer, that didn't work using Google Play or the TWRP option, probably because I was on 4.3. You have to manually flash the supersu zip file in TWRP from the thread on XDA.
Hope that helps!
EDIT: regarding you driver situation, I'm on Windows 8 and all I had to do was plug it in and it downloaded the necessary drivers automatically. I believe I have HTC Sync Manager installed, but it's not running, and wasn't running when I was going through that tutorial.
EDIT 2: Looks like I read your post wrong,.. I thought you had the GPe. Nonetheless, that tutorial may help you.

I don't think ADB or Fastboot are pre-installed nor are they packaged with sync manager. You have to download them either as part of the SDK or from XDA. Personally, I download the whole package as it's far easier to keep updated.

Let us know if it works! Since that tutorial is for the GPe, unlocking the bootloader for your Sense version is a little different. But once you achieve an unlocked bootloader, I believe the rest of his tutorial is the same for both devices.

hey i tryed a lot of Guides but still doesnt work. Dont know why...
On windows 7 its no ptoblem but on windows 8..gosh... driver signature --> off diferent drivers from different guides everything...

Root ZE550KL with no pc.

Hey guys! I have an Asus Zenfone 2 laser ZE550KL, and I'd like to root it. I tried to root it following this guide:
https://devs-lab.com/root-asus-zenfone-2-laserze550kl.html , because I didn't want to wipe all my data. Unfortunately it didn't work (at least my phone is still alive), and I honestly got angry because I unlocked my bootloader, losing my warranty, and I can't even root my phone without deleting all my data. Can you please, guys, try to do something to make rooting this phone, way more easier and faster? Thank you and have a good day.

Why dont you transfer all of your data to an sd card? And I don't know if rooting the phone without pc is a thing yet..? You could also try doing a backup of your settings and stuff on a sd card, do the root, fetch the backup from the card and execute it. It sould work with some apps from the playstore that don't need root, atleast I think.

You should update your phone to MM and go to the Asus's support page there is a .apk for the bootloader, that application will unlock the bootloader, and you're good to go with rooting and furthermore modifying your phone. But first unlock the bootloader, otherwise you will brick your phone. Trust me official bootloader unloocker works fine.

On 6.0, all you have to do is unlock bootloader using ADB. Then install TWRP, then flash SU...done.

Hey, could you help? Can't seem to run the fastboot oem unlock command :| it gets stuck at device waiting or something. I tried updating drivers but can't seem to get it to work, can you help? H811 20i; Android version 6.0; on Windows 10.

That also happened to me. While it is saying waiting for device, go to windows device manager. You will see a device with an ! mark. Open it and select update drivers, then let windows find them. Mine found the Android driver and installed automatically.

Twrp can not be download with adb when you have marshmallow. I've tried for hours. You can do command: fastboot boot recovery (file).img to boot up twrp but this temp not perm. Flash supersu.zip to have root access.( May have to flash twice).
To download twrp:
Download twrp manager from the play store.
Now flash twrp.img using twrp manager.
Remember: if you use twrp you no longer will be getting update from tmobile over the air. (correct me if im wrong)
