What error message do you get when you attempt to install the OTA? How are you trying to install it?

What is the version number of the OTA? What is the version of the ROM do you currently have installed?

How do you flash the stock recovery back and where did the recovery image come from?

I guess I had
The recovery image came from the 3.11 OTA package
I replaced the "recovery.xxx" file in the PXx32Xx.ZIP(cant rmb the name) with the one extracted from 3.11 OTA

Ok, so you modified a PG32IMG.zip file and replaced the recovery.img file right?
Then you copied that file to our SD card and booted into HBOOT and that ran OK?
Where did the PG32IMG.zip file come from originally and what recovery image was in it?
I think you need to download the 3.09.708.2 RUU and use the recovery image from the ROM.zip file. You will need to unlock your bootloader again and then I would try flashing the recovery.img directly in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then relock the bootloader and try installing the OTA again.

Another thought. While you were rooted, did you delete any apps from the ROM? If so that is another reason why the OTA would show progress and then just stop.
If extracting the recovery.img from the RUU doesn't work, you will have to reinstall the RUU to go back to a complete stock ROM and then the OTA will install,

If you still have the unlock bin file, you can use it again.

Luckily I didn't remove any apps from the ROM (I tried but I cannot, weird)...
hope that I don't need to reinstall the RUU

Where did you buy your phone? You should run proper RUU (according to phone's region) then you'll be stock and able to receive any OTA you might be prompted.

i bought it from my service provider and didn't flash any other ROM before, only the recovery, so I think its ok?

You gonna need stock recovery to be able to receive OTA. So you better saying which country is it of your service provider to get proper stock recovery from RUU.

If you unlocked using htcdev.com you still have to flash the boot.img manually, otherways it will be stuck at white screen with HTC in green letters.

Rerun the ruu.exe, but while you're still in the setup, find the rom.zip somewhere in your Temp folder on your computer.
Rename to PG32IMG.zip and put at the root of your SD card.
Now reboot in bootloader.
Maybe this works but I'm not sure, and don't blame me if something goes wrong, because I'm still new here.

OK, since you are S-OFF using Revolutionary, you will not be able to install the latest Sense 3.0 RUU because Revolutionary is preventing the RUU from overwriting its HBOOT with the locked HBOOT 2.00. The reason you are getting stuck on the white screen is because the Sense 3.0 RUU requires the locked HBOOT 2.00 be present.
Look in the Development section This is a stock, rooted ROM based on the Sense 3.0 RUU that you can flash since you are S-OFF. First you will need to reinstall ClockworkMod recovery and then you can flash the stocked, rooted ROM or any custom ROM.
If you really want to return to stock using the Sense 3.0, then you need to search this forum for the way to return to S-ON and then you can flash the RUU.
Hope this helps.

OK, if you can't connect with USB then FASTBOOT USB mode isn't an option. You need to create a PG32IMG.zip with the CWM recovery.img file in it, copy it to your SD card and flash it from HBOOT mode.

This will not work with the official Sense 3.0 RUU/ROM that he is using!!!! You can flash that boot.img all you want, but if you do not have HBOOT 2.00 installed on the phone, this ROM and boot.img will not work! It will bootloop on the white screen.
That boot.img requires that HBOOT 2.00 be installed because it uses a new /LIB partition to be mounted and HBOOT 2.00 is the only one that supports it.

Maybe check if others have flashed it correctly, as I didn't test it and maybe you can't flash a stock recovery in a custom one
Confirmation
Hi,
I've just installed this recovery to my HTC ONE 32GB VODAP001.
My method was to extract the recovery.img from the zip file and flash via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
worked fine - no issues, boots to the phone picture with a green arrow.
Hope that helps.

For anyone still trying to update to 4.2.2 on a rooted phone here are the steps I took to do it.
1.Flash stock recovery (link earlier in thread)
2.Update
3.Reflash your custom recovery (I used TWRP)
4.Reinstall superuser

Flashed stock recovery
Thanks! Now hopefully I can get the latest HTC Google Edition OTA update. Clockworkmod rejected the latest one: JWR66Y
Noob question: What does the stock recovery actually do?
I havn't unlocked bootloader yet, and accidentially started stock recovery from the bootloader screen and started to panic when an image with a red triangle was shown for what seemed like ages. Fortunately the phone booted up normally, but I wonder what I actually did?
BTW how does OTA update work, how to get it?

All I know is I flashed the Google Edition ROM on my HTC One in July (was T-Mobile Sense version). 2 days ago I got an OTA notification for an Android 4.3 update (JWR66Y). I couldn't install it because I had Clockworkmod as a custom recovery. My hope is that with this stock recovery I can receive this OTA update fine. I haven't gotten the notification yet, so I don't know if it'll work. If it does work, then I'll be ready for Google Edition Kit Kat in October.

This method works:
Go to Settings > Apps (or Applications) and select show All. Then find Google Services Framework and click the Clear Data button. Then click the Force Stop button. Then go to Settings > About phone > System updates
The stock recovery also worked! I was able to get an OTA update and install it on HTC One which I turned into a Google Edition (originally a T-Mobile with Sense). Now with JWR66Y.H1. Just let the phone do its thing. It takes a while and there are no real status messages. It'll reboot a few times. Don't worry it works. Just be patient.
I think the same method will work when Kit Kat comes out in October.
I am not rooted, I have S-off, and I didn't change model or carrier IDs. I still received the OTA update.

[Q] sense 6 OTA not working

Hello,
I have 4.4.2 installed on my One. I had rooted it with custom recovery. But as sense 6 is there I un-rooted it, locked it properly and removed tampered flag. Installed stock recovery and also put it in S-ON.
I can download OTA but while installing it is failing. It is showing red triangle and restarting it.
Can somebody help me to proceed further? If I go to HTC, will they update it?
I think , preload file is wiped when u unlocked ur device
Try installing ota manual and write the message

Your problem is the current ROM is not 100% stock, some files are missing especially the preload.
1. What is your current software version no. ?
2. unlock the bootloader again and flash TWRP
3. flash a stock ROM.zip of your version no. or restore a proper nandroid backup
4. reboot and do the normal setup
5. reboot to bootloader
6. flash the stock recovery
7. reboot and do the OTA
So ... solve the no. 1 first.

Hey,
My software version number is 4.20.707.7 with HBOOT 1.56. I don't have stock ROM readily available anywhere like htc1guru etc., so I am downloading it from one of the xda thread.
Now
I will install TWRP,
reset stock ROM (there is also an option of installin stock recovery) once my download finishes.
Then again will lock boot loader,
put S ON back
update sense 6 OTA.

1. There is another file that you need to flash after that ROM zip.
See : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52981541&postcount=57
2. There is no need to lock boot loader and put S-On back (if now is S-Off) to do OTA update
Only stock recovery is needed

You are using TWRP - you cannot flash an ota via adb. It does not work. You need stock recovery to flash the OTA

I tried with firmware.zip which is included in ota which have stock recovery.But when i flash from stock recovery it gives error can't mount sd card (devices not found).invalid operation.may be probably due to s-on.

But in your case now you are stuck with no os or bootloop, i give you as advice to follow an soft unbrick method it worked for me, or if you have an usb otg cable and usb or and usb otg thumbstick, put the rom on that usb and connect it to your phone and then try to flash it (if your using twrp you have an option to choose from wich storage you want to use)
Also a piece of advice, when flashing roms, kernels etc please have your phone charged above 50% (just in case).

Can you please post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
please remove your imei and serial number.
Depending on which variant of the M7 you have you probably just need a different version of recovery to install a CM rom. I think they prefer TWRP 2.7.x.x. Post the getvar and we can see what you have. then I can give you a better informed instruction. :good:
P.s also check the md5 of the rom zip you downloaded. Use this tool www.winmd5.com the correct md5 should be listed with the link you downloaded the rom from
failed to mount /dev/block/blah blah blah = needs "block:by-name" support which twrp 2.6.3.3 doesn't have
everything explained here
So update your recovery
and do what danny said above so he can confirm you have the right rom/recovery for your device.

Your getvar looks fine this rom should work fine with your device. Download this version of TWRP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358561860 (2.7.1.2). dropthe file in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once thats done reflash the rom with the new version of TWRP. It should flash just fine :good:
iv managed to flash cm12.1 now, thanks guys, is there anyway i could get the HTC software back on.

There are a number of ways to return to stock software. You can simply flash a stock rom through twrp or use a stock nandroid. look for rom that match your version main. 7.19.401.22
I think there is even an lollipop 7.19.401.22 RUU for your device but I'm not sure if it will work with s-on though because it's a zip but it certainly wouldnt hurt to try it though. You will need to relock your bootloader and flash it with fastboot.
I'll edit this post with links when I find them unless some one beats me to it
Hey Dan do you think we could skype and you could talk me through it, it would be much easier?

Sorry I am at work so availability is scetchy. I found the ruu but it's for the older 7.19.401.2 lollipop, this won't work for you because your s-on. Downgrading firmware is only possible with s-off.
You can use this stock rom though http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-100-pure-stock-5-0-2-7-19-401-2-t3044041 just flash it with twrp. The thread recommends TWRP 2.8.5.X no need to relock the bootloader or anything silly, just flash it like any other rom :good:
You'll notice that this rom is also for the older 7.19.401.2 so you will need to install the last OTA update to bring your rom in line with your firmware. Flash this recovery with the same method as twrp. (Stock recovery required for installing the OTA) http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/Recovery/STOCK/7.19.401.2_recovery.img/download reboot then just go to Settings>About>Check for updates.

Okay try this. Download the OTA but select the option "Install Later" connect your m7 to your pc and browse your storage. In the download folder on your phone you should find the OTA in zip format. Copy it to your pc.
Now open the OTA zip on your pc. Inside you'll find another zip called "firmware.zip" extract it then open it. Inside you'll find a recovery.img. extract the recovery file and flash it with fastboot. Now reboot to android and continue to install the OTA. :fingers-crossed:

Yes you will need to unlock the bootloader to flash the recovery, Dont forget to fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery that is cruicial. You don't need to be relocked to install the OTA though.
When you select install now, the device should reboot to the Stock Recovery. At first the screen will just be black for a short while. Then you'll see an image of a phone with a Green ring and download arrow. If you hold Volume up and press the power button you will see the Stock Recovery and its progress in installing the OTA.
I'm not sure why your device was hanging on boot after installing the OTA. Maybe a bad recovery.img. that's why I say to get the recovery from the OTA file.
its still not working so i mite just install twrp and restore to cm12.1

Your still stuck with this? Try starting the process over, but do not relock your bootloader at any point.
Wipe system data and cache partitions with TWRP Advanced wipe
Flash the Rom with twrp as a clean install.
Reboot and download the OTA. Choose install later, then copy the OTA to your pc. Extract the Stock Recovery and flash it with fastboot. Reboot and install the OTA.
But do not relock your boot loader. Because when you unlock the bootloader, it wipes the device including the data/preload folder. If the preload folder is not intact the OTA will fail
