4.3 Uograde kernel issue.

I'm on a GPe with custom kernel and recovery and root. I'm trying to take the OTA and I've flashed back to a stock kernel, but it doesn't seem to "take."
Sweep2wake still works even after a flash. This is the most confusing part for me. It even sticks after a kernel flash and factory reset.

Are you trying to take the OTA directly through the Device OTA option or via this thread?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390319
If you're doing it direct through the phone it wont work without stock kernel and recovery. If you download the OTA in the thread I linked and follow the instructions it should work.

That's part of the question. Why won't flashing the stock kernel fix it and erase stuff like sweep2wake?

This is ridiculously aggravating.
I've got a stock kernel, stock recovery, OTA file on my SD card in about 3 different places.
Every time i boot to recovery it tries to mount hte storage 5 times and fails. Then clicking install from any location (cache, sd, phone storage) just says "invalid operation" and the phone reboots. Whats the problem here??

Sounds like you have an issue with your stock something (recovery/kernel/hboot). If you're on a GPe One just flash the RUU for 4.2.2 and then try again.

Yeah, I think I'll do that. I just don't know what it could be, all i changed was the kernel (to get logo as recent apps.)
Thanks.

Did you relock the bootloader? If you want to use OTA's, bootloader has to be locked in order for it to install.

Are you using a custom launcher? logo to recent apps isnt a mapping I'm aware of.

I'm on an ATT HTC ONE converted to GPe via S-OFF so my bootloader wasn't locked when I installed the OTA.

But you have S-OFF. That bypasses bootloader anyways. Doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked then; S-OFF will eliminate the security checks.

Real Google Play Edition One Flash/update problem...

Hi guys...
So I've been searching for a fix for my google play edition htc one... I'm currently on stock 4.2.2, I unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM, rooted the device, installed a custom kernel. Everything was perfectly fine until I wanted to install 4.3 on my phone. I never flashed anything but the kernel to this phone. (since I knew cm10.2 would need time to get massaged) I am having problem flashing any rom onto my phone.
I got the OTA, I tried installing that, and in the middle of the install, the android icon goes from the blue swirl to the android lying down dead.
I tried uninstalling the kernel... no good. I reflashed the stock 4.2.2 recovery, no luck. I tried to RUU the phone (after relocking the device), and it fails with the message (remote: 12 signature verify fail). I get the same error w/ the 4.2.2 and 4.3 RUU... (both from the conversion to google edition thread)
I gave up on going w/ stock after trying several times. I downloaded the cm10.2 official nightly for the m7ul, transferred the zip file, and installed it thru CWM but I get the "Status 7" error that says "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == m7 II etc. etc. I checked my build.prop and my ro.product.device is set to m7.... just like how it is supposed to be....
Is there anything I'm doing wrong here? Do you guys have any idea why I am unable to flash anything?? Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Install twrp or cwm again. Install nammit94's stock 4.2.2 rom. Put stock recovery back. Software update should install 4.3 then. The ruu won't work to restore you because it's a user made unsigned package and only works on s-off devices. Just installing stock kernel probably failed because there are non stock modules left over in /system nammit94's rom should set things right

I think you can go back to stock, but read first. There are posts for how to do it. I think your mistake was you tried to flash an OTA with a custom recovery, doesn't work..ll

There is no ruu for an s-on htc one Google edition. You have to be very careful. Make a nandroid.

I tried flashing the stock recovery back before applying ota too.. Can you point me to the right thread?? I've been searching but can't seem to find the right info... BTW I think turges ROM worked.. Not sure why cm didn't

OK that's what I was starting to think.. I do have some backups but that doesn't really take me back to complete stock state... I guess I'll just wait for the 1.54 s-off

a stock backup + stock recovery, which is flashable should be fine.

I have a backup of post-rooting stock and I tried using that with the ota with stock recovery... But that didn't work.. I guess I should've backed up prior to rooting? Not sure if it makes a difference... Is there an easy way to unroot other than ruu?

Flash Nammit94's unrooted 4.2.2 ROM

Thanks gunny. Found that ROM.. Had dig a little since his user name was Namit1994. I'll try this out later...
Back to the cm10.2 problem... Any reason why my gpe wouldn't flash it?

[Q] HTC One M7 EE/T-Mobile/Orange UK Semi Bricked

All,
I am pulling my hair out, I decided to root my phone today so I could delete the default APN's, I have tried CWM and also TWRP.
All was fine, as soon as I installed Busybox something went horribly wrong, my phone will not boot up and just displays the "HTC Logo" I can get to the boot menu and boot to either CWM or TWRP. However there is nothing I can do within there, I cannot find a RUU for my model (CID is Orange) I have found a nandroid backup but CWM/TWRP refuses to see it via OTG and I have tried lots of USB Sticks.
I really do not know what to do next, I cannot turn S-OFF as HBOOT is 1.54
What can I do, I have read thread after thread.
Is there a default recovery.img or one for my carrier as I cannot find it.
Many thanks,
Dale

Managed to restore a nandroid, but I have no touch screen!
Tried clearing cache etc, have currently got a mouse plugged in to it to control it, there is an OTA available so going to try that.

Don't try it with a custom recovery. You'll need to relock your bootloader too.
No touchscreen is a firmware issue. The nandroid you restored will be an old one not compatible with the latest firmware..

Just for now for the sake of getting a working phone I would just flash a 4.2.2 stock ROM, or Sense-based Rom. You'll need to unlock your bootloader again obviously.

Thanks for the reply, was up till 3am trying to get around this and got it going eventually.
That's what I have done for now, I sideloaded a stock Sense ROM which came with a stock recovery.img, guess I have to wait for a S-OFF for 1.54 if it ever happens.

[Q] [SOLVED] Unlocked/Rooted with S-On want OTA

I would like to install the AT&T OTA of 4.4.2 but have a custom recovery and am unable to upgrade. I am rooted with the stock 4.3 ROM and have the twrp recovery installed. I have S-ON. I've searched around trying to find a way to get this to work but can't seem to figure it out. I've tried looking around for an AT&T 4.3 stock recovery to try and flash it but can't seem to find one. The one from the Dev sticky page is not available for download. Can someone detail the steps I have to perform to get the 4.4.2 OTA from AT&T. Thanks in advance.
[SOLVED]
OK, problem fixed and 4.4.2 installed from OTA. I had relocked the bootloader on my phone so... start from scratch. Steps to resolve
1 - Unlock Bootloader
2 - Get S-Off on device (Makes everything easier). I used Firewater (http://firewater-soff.com)
3 - Flash the AT&T 3.17.502.3 (4.3) RUU from here (http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/). You may need a different one if not on AT&T
4 - Start phone, check for update. Let it download. Cake.
Now off to redo all the settings on my phone. Hope this helps someone else.

You can extract recovery.IMG from the ATT 4.4.2 OTA update if you can't find anything else.

It doesn't give me an error. The OTA downloads, reboots and gets to a triangle with the green arrows inside and starts installing, then about 25% of the way it stops and goes to a red triangle. I'm thinking the MD5 to one of my files may be failing. I installed an edit to the framework sometime ago to get the hotspot working (that's the only change to the stock rom I've made). It doesn't really give me an error message though.

It could be the issue. You will need to choose one of the few options:
1. Restore a stock ATT OS for the same version you have (4.3) and update again
2. S-OFF (Preferred to avoid future messy bricks) and reinstall old ATT RUU and then upgrade all the way without custom rom/rooting/firmware changes
3. Wait for someone to post a custom rom install of the new ATT 4.4 update and install that.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. I think I'm gonna go with option 2, depending on how much time I have to do this, or 3 if time is an issue. Just one more question for you. Is firewater the best method to get S-Off or do you recommend a different one?

If the ota stops on the second half as you discribe I think you have the wrong stock recovery. Different version than your "version-main"

It could be because I flashed the recovery that came with the OTA with fastboot and then after SaHiLzZ pointed me in the right direction was able to download the 4.3 recovery but flashed that one with flashify. I bet you the one I did with flashify didn't take. Funny thing is I also relocked my bootloader and now must unlock it again and that will probably wipe my device. What a mess, oh well, I hope that's all it is and at least I'm learning as I go.

Until you have the stock recovery ...you can install the update when it is pushed
As you've stated that you phone is rooted then you might've flashed TWRP or CWM to do it so
flash back the stock recovery of your model and you are good to go...

You need the stock recovery that match your fw version. I.e if you are on 3.23.666.1 then you need the recovery from this version.
Here is a collection of stock recovery. If you can't find yours, you can extract the recovery.img from the previous ota. The recovery packed in the upcoming ota update might also work.

my software number now says 4.19.666.8. im as up to date as i can be through bell so if i flash an old recovery will it cause problems? or will i just get an OTA update to bring it back to the latest version

you'll probably have to restore these app if you want to update. The ota updater script md5 check these apps. If they are not on your phone, the ota installation will probably fail because of MD5 mismatch.
See this post from arhd if you want more details

Ota update will not apply until and unless you have pure stock rom.
e.g. If your phone is pure stock you unlock its bootloader it will remove some apps which are installed in preload. Now if you relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery the ota update will not be applied as during flashing ota update check for these apps whether they are installed in preload or not. For ota updates to applied succesfully you need to run RUU of your model then flash ota.

alright ive found a nandroid backup for bell 3.23.666.1 and i also have the recovery to go with it. if i run that nandroid and flash the recovery do ya'll think i can then get the OTA?

alright i tried this any couldnt get it to work. i flashed the recovery then rebooted phone. it asked to do the 4.19.666.8 update then rebooted, went to recovery but it was still TWRP recovery and not stock. so before getting to far involved i reflashed the nandroid i made this morning.
the whole not being able to s-off with hboot 1.56 is a bit of a pain. ive tried rumrunner and firewater with no luck.
so troubleshooting purposes i should add that i dont care about the tampered bar or anything like that. i dont have to send it back i just want the sense 6 ota. l

Then you didn't flash stock recovery... Either the recovery you flashed was not stock, or you didn't flash it right.

Now that I think about it after the flash it didn't do anything so I had to hold the power for 10 seconds. After that I panicked and just reverted back to my nandroid from that morning.
