OTA updates for custom recovery - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is it true, that phones with a custom recovery don't get OTA updates?

They don't get updares by the manufacturer but custom ROM get updated way faster. There are tools which can download these via OTA.

Well, I don't have a custom ROM, I just unlocked the bootloader of my HTC One and installed a custom recovery to get root.

You can re-install stock recovery, which i believe will allow OTA updates again.

OK, I see. I used the all-in-one kit to unlock my phone and install a custom recovery. So I thought I could just flash the stock recovery using the kit as well... But where would I get the stock recovery?

Actually the phones with custom recovery still get OTA updates as long as still using stock ROM.

Correct! But you still need stock recovery to install the update.

You are driving me crazy... So what good is it to receive the updates if I can't install them?
OK, so I still need stock recovery. So the question remains, how so I get the stock recovery?

If you have currently have the stock GB ROM with the stock HTC recovery and stock HBOOT 2.01.0001, then you should be able to apply the OTA.

Ota update on custom rom

So I have a custom ROM installed on my HTC one it is the 4.3 Google edition ROM. This morning I received a notification saying "system update downloaded. Touch to install" would it be safe to install it?

Perhaps. I heard another person's phone got unrooted or relocked bootloader? I doubt it because google developer edition is supposed to be unlocked and unrooted?

Stock software?

Long story short I got a lemon, and have to restore to stock. I know there isn't am ruu available but is there anywhere I could get stock files? I don't care about flashing them separately.

There's a system dump, but that's about it (and you can't flash that).
You can send it back with it updated with the OTA. Just flash stock rooted, it should be fine.
I'm gonna reset my hboot, recovery and s-on. I'll take the su out of stock rooted. Thanks cap! Your files have been a lot of help.
