You can't update via OTA if you have a custom recovery and rom, you need to go back to stock if you want to do so

I agree with the first reply. Just return it. I completely bricked my first One and took it back to Best Buy. They didn't even turn it on. They just made sure there wasn't a rock in there instead of the phone. LOL
You're good. Just do it. :good:

Gotcha. Can you just flash the stock ROM from here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
If not there, copy the RUU and run from inside TWRP?

OK so now I have an OTA update available for my HTC One. When I try to update it takes me to my custom Recovery TWRP. Will this help me to obtain stock status? Also what is the next step after booting into TWRP?? Sorry I am a noob to this but I can hold my own with good instructions. TIA!!

I don't believe the OTA update is going to help you at all. Here's what I would do. The factory RUU (ROM Update Utility) that HTC provides is an executable that you run from your Windows PC (XP preferred). You don't have to load it to the phone - your phone just has to be connected.
A couple questions before we begin:
1 - Which phone did you get? DEV 64 - AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile?
2 - Do you want to save anything on that phone?
If no to 2, just continue. But if you want to save anything you'll need to use either Titanium Backup or Go Backup & Restore Pro (my favorite). Back up to the cloud or copy your backed up items off your phone if you wish to keep them because you're about to wipe it clean.
You can find the RUU for the DEV unit here - http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You may need to register at htcdev.com to access this page. But here you'll find a list of downloads - some are CRC (kernel source code) and one is RUU (WWE stands for World Wide Edition). Download that to your PC.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I would boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset my phone. This will erase anything that you have on it. I'd also wipe the cache and davlik.
Next once the RUU is downloaded and you're sure you've backed up EVERYTHING you want to keep, double click on the RUU. It should be cake from there. It'll restore your One back to factory standards and you should be able to send this puppy back.:highfive:

Also, if you bought the unlocked version from HTC like I did then you're fine with having it factory unlocked with an unlocked bootloader. You don't need to re-lock that.
By the way, here's a graphic of the file you'll want to download and run on your computer when you're ready to restore the phone.

I bought the 32gb unlocked international version. No carrier or DEV edition. Do these instructions still apply?
THANKS!

Ok, I don't think so. Sorry. The RUU appears to be for the Dev edition only. That was the mistake I made and I completely hosed my previous phone. I see the one that you bought here: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41589
Until HTC releases an RUU for that device we can't go that route.
The only other route would be to flash the stock ROM to your phone at the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
Follow the instructions. You'll end up adb flashing the stock boot.img and stock recovery back to your phone. Those files are discussed in the first post.
It's a little more work, but this is the kind of stuff that I love staying up late for. Good luck and sorry we couldn't do it with an RUU.
:fingers-crossed:
Let us know how you make out with this.

HTC One Google Edition

Anyone going to get the HTC One Google edition on the 26th next week? I already have Tmobile and I could just get it and pay 20 bucks a month to pay for it. Im just wondering if anyone is going to pick up the Google Edition?
Will it really have priority updates? or is that what people only say to make themselves feel better? Couldnt we just flash the ROM and Kernal from the Google Edition when Google updates it to android 4.3... 5.0 etc.. to the GSM varients? Since they all have the same components.

Its better to get the T-Mobile version and just flash the Google ROM on it. I forgot where I read that you can flash an AOSP ROM on a sense based variant but not vice versa.

There would be no reason why the GE couldn't run sense. They are the same HW. I'd like to see the source of whoever made that claim.
You have two devices that have the same exact HW just running different SW. Why on earth would you be able to run AOSP on a Sense version and not run sense on the GE? It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Is it because the bootloader and partitions are different? if so with s-off that can certainly be changed.

GE will have the Nexus bootloader interface so it wont be a simple flash job to get Sense
@OP: better to get the T-Mobile version as it would be easy to switch between Stock and Sense

As long as you have a custom recovery and the boot, system and data partitions are the same blocks you should be able to flash Sense just fine even with the GE bootloader. Even if the partitions aren't the same you can modify the update script for the sense rom to map to the proper boot/data/system partitions. The only thing I see being a problem is the partitions being different blocks. It doesn't make sense that you'll be able to flash the GE rom on the non GE device and not the other way around.

We have everything we need to convert to Google edition and back again. The key is fastboot mode. We should be able to install an ruu or push the images manually. The only question is will the RUU exe file recognize a converted phone. I'm assuming all we need to do is make sure the Cid matches or we use supercid

GE phones wont have any CID so i doubt the RUU would work in converted phones, unless Google gives us a way to flash to Sense version phones without changing the bootloader

I've seen reports to the contrary regarding Cid on the Google edition.

well thats nothing official but if that is the case then it should be easy to switch back and forth

I've seen the CID in several locations and it's probably correct. I hope so anyway

I'm just ready for AOSP development to skyrocket.

You will have fastboot commands with the GE bootloader just like you do on every nexus device (and HTC devices). The bootloader doesn't have to do with the rom.
If you have a system image or even a rom.zip you can flash in fastboot and it will be fine.
the way to flash a sense rom with the GE edition bootloader would be to flash it in recovery like any other rom or fastboot flash system system.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img. The bootloader doesn't care if it's sense or if it's senseless just as long as you're flashing to the correct partitions you should be fine.
And it will have a CID. It will most likely be a different CID than what's out there now. It might have a different model ID as well.
But hey.. what do I know? I'm just a noob and don't know what I'm talking about

The Google edition CID already exists in the hboot code. Just, well, 'Google' for it using a hex editor. Proof enough for me.

So it seems this was planned all along. Interesting.

So will we (those with the original One) be able to just SuperCID, flash the Google RUU, change CID to Google edition CID and effectively have a Google edition phone?
Or instead of that, will the excellent devs here just port the GE Rom and we can flash it that way, without getting OTAs of course...

Yup, pretty much. You should be able to just change the CID to the GE CID and then flash the RUU without using super cid but you'll be able to flash the ruu with super cid as well. I'm not sure if you need to hex edit one of the partitions to change change the CID to the GE CID to get OTA's or not(I think ther has been debate about this). The model ID might have to change as well if they use a different model number for the GE (Which I'm assuming they would)

[Q] HTC one - rooting without opting out of OTA

as far as I'm aware, the only way to root the HTC one is via unlocking the bootloader, which then prevents the phone from receiving OTA updates, is it possible to root the HTC one without opting out of these updates?
Thanks, LordTumnas
(if there is a similar thread to this, i apologize, i was unable to find it)

I'm not sure about all versions, but I have the Developer Edition that came unlocked and I get OTA updates. I think it is more about CID, MID, and stock OS & recovery.

A good place to start is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228274
The key is to make sure you are confident you can get back to stock recovery and perhaps locked bootloader (depending on model) before you take the plunge. That way you can get back to a fully stock device.

Use revone to s-off and unlock then install cwm recovery, install supersu from recovery, install stock recovery. With supersu you can temp unroot for otas.

This doesn't answer your question, but usually somebody posts a zip for a stock, rooted ROM within a couple days of OTA.

Just root, unlock, and install a custom rom already.

If you have converted your mobile to GPE...you can install the update
but if you just flashed your rom (leaving CID n MID everything different from GPE) just dont update..
even if you try to update nothing will happen i guess..because installation of ota update requires Stock recovery of google play edition

Install stock recovery for GPE edition that you are running, before you install the OTA..

You should be fine as long as it's a stock recovery. The GPe OTAs actually are already configured to install on any US GSM CID/MID. Google or HTC definitely know about the unofficial RUU and helped make the update process slightly easier for those who utilized it.

[Q] My HTC ONE (THREE UK Network) Stuck on Android 4.2.2 Can anyone help?

Hi Guys,
I rooted my HTC One previously but I wanted to update my phones android software so I can't much remember what I did, but
I tried to unroot it to get back to stock but I don't think I did this successfully.
My HTC One android version is 4.2.2
HTC Sense version is 5.0
am i right in thinking there are more up to date versions on the three UK network for my HTC ONE? But every time
i click check for software updates on my phone there aren't any that appear??
I'm really new to this, thank god i didn't brick my phone when i first rooted it, if i could i'd love to get
back to stock but I tried with no success, i really want to have an updated phone without having to
mess around with it anymore.
I believe i have attached an image more more information such as my baseband and kernel version.
could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to go back to stock so i can receive
updates without these issues. Thanks in advance guys
Kind regards

If I was you I would look to s-off your device, that way you can always have the latest rom version from XDA you can sometimes wait a long time for Networks to release the latest version to update over the air.
There are some very nice stock roms out there but if you don't wait to take the risk you need to unroot, restore stock recovery and relock your device I believe.
If you had made a nandroid backup before rooting you could have restored to the nandroid stock rom and simply restored the recovery and relocked.
