For some reason I just cannot get it to install. I was unlocked and rooted with custom recovery but I've gone back to stock recovery, unrooted and relocked the bootloader and even done a full factory reset. I've tried to download the OTA 4.2.2 update multiple times but each and every time the update hangs at around 35-40% on the stock recovery screen.
My HTC One is from O2 UK but is unbranded and originally had a generic International ROM on it.
Any ideas how I can remedy this?
Same with me.... I did s off and ran the RUU for my phone.... All was well and ota was done successfully..... Bcoz even u put stock recovery and stuff, there are few files missing / changed, which prevent the ota to happen...

Hey all,
So I rooted my phone about a week ago and got rid of all the garbage htc/at&t bloat. The rom itself is factory but I'm running a different kernel. Would doing an OTA update to 1.29 brick the phone or cause any other issues?
Avoid it? Flash a 1.29 rom from in here?
Thanks

It will be ok if you just unlocked the phone. But once you apply the OTA then more then likely you will have to root your phone again.
If you removed HTC and ATT stock apps, you won't be able to use the OTA update as it checks for those items. You would also need to flash stock kernel back.
Hope you backed those items up or have a full nandroid of it before rooting.
If you restore those items so that you can use the OTA update, you also most likely lose root and have to root after.
I believe bootloader status remains untouched though.

I looked around question wise, didn't see much.
Anyways, I have a Sprint HTC One - last Summer while on 4.1.2 stock, I unlocked, installed a custom recovery, and rooted it.
I have not really bothered updating, but I decided to take the jump to 4.4. What is the easiest way of doing this?
Can I just download the 4.4.2 Zip to my internal memory, and flash from recovery?
Info:
Sprint HTC One
Android 4.1.2
S-On with the Disable System Write Protection installed.
TWRP 2.5.0.0

That should be what you need. So far I don't know if you can flash kit kat firmware but prior firmwares you can.

Make sure your custom recovery is up to date before doing any rom flashing. There were some people that had problems when they tried to flash the 4.3 update on an older version of both CWM and TWRP. They had a problem where the custom recovery touch versions stopped responding to touch.
I just flashed the Bad Boys KK rom without installing a new firmware and everything has been great. But you might want to install at least the maintenance firmware update that came out a couple weeks ago as it fixed some PRL update issues. To flash the firmware you need to do that from a PC connected via usb to the HTC.
Good luck
Hey, just seen that sense 6 will get pushed out beginning may 12th in canada. My question is that my phone has an unlocked bootloader, is rooted, but not s-off. I havn't installed a new rom. has the same as after i unlocked bootloader. Will I be able to install the update when it is pushed?

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...
Did you unlock via htcdev ?

Bell Canada HTC One, want to flash the stock recovery back so that i can get the Sense 6 update. Phone is rooted and unlocked with HTC dev but does not have S-off. been running into issues with hboot 1.56 in that regard and cant get S-off to work. Anyway. From what I gather the OTA update wont work without the stock recovery. How do I know which one to install

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

then flash the 4.19.666.8 stock recovery. an older recovery might work, not for sure. Or the recovery packed in the upcoming ota might also work.
I think I'm a little over my head now. Lol. I think I'm also missing some of the apps that were removed after the HTC dev unlock. Not good.

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.

asking me to do the update now. im really not sure what exactly i need to do to get it now
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

I already told you run ruu of your phone. Then you will be able to apply ruu.

Unfortunately a RUU of 4.19.666.8 is hard to come by

I haven't seen one yet, the CWR backup was the best I could find.
Maybe someone who has Sense 6 will make and upload a TWRP or CWR backup.

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.

Hello,
Let me start by just saying that I'm very new to the whole rooting and android development scene and I'm.sorry in advance if this question is noobish. Anyway I have an at&t HTC one m7 that I unlocked the bootloader on, flashed twrp and rooted. The device was working fine no issues ,recently there was an ota update that my brother got for his all stock m7. So I flashed an img of the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader in hopes of having the update install. I know it would remove my root access but I didn't mind that .
Anyway now my device is telling me there is no more ota updates available.
This is odd because I tried to do the update before changing anything back a nd it got stuck when twrp launched .so there is an update available.
Is this normal or is something wrong? thanks!
Edit, i cant words
I have a normal edition Sprint HTC One M8 that is rooted with android version 4.4.4. I am still on the stock ROM. Whenever I got the phone, about 2-3 weeks ago, I wasn't aware that 5.0 was being released to the M8. So I updated to 4.4.4 through the OTA update and rooted. After rooting the system update popped up prompting me to update to version 5.0.
Now my question, is there an official rooted stock 5.0 ROM yet? I can't find it anywhere.
If there isn't, how do I go about updating to 5.0 from rooted 4.4.4?
Thanks,
Shawn
More info: this isn't the first time I've rooted phones. I've had an HTC EVO 4G and a Samsung Galaxy S3. This is just the first time I've had stuff not go as planned.
I tried to get S-OFF, however since "firewater" no longer works, and the only other way is SunShine, I can live with S-ON.

In order to take the OTA you need a stock rom (no modifications to system) and stock recovery.
Or option 2 is you can run the latest RUU

How would I go back to stock recovery and remove root?
Same question for RUU. I've only used RUU once on my EVO 4G to reset everything. Not sure if the process is the same for the One M8 or where I'd start lol

You flash stock recovery the same way you flash twrp, root should be ok I've never done an OTA I've always been s-off.
The rom you are on should also be ok unless you removed a bunch of bloat.
The RUU will wipe your device...back up anything important to your PC.
Side note: Every time there is an update and you like custom roms most require the firmware to be updated in order for them to work properly.
Updating firmware with s-off only takes a couple minutes and a lot less hassle then if you are s-on... so I would recommend biting the bullet and using Sunshine if at all possible.

I plan on staying with the stock ROM, just rooted so I'm gonna skip S-OFF. Never had an issue with it being on on my EVO (I flashed dozens of ROMs and stuff on it).
I'm ok with RUU wiping everything. I purposely haven't put much personal data on the phone cause I knew I'd be wiping within the next few weeks.
I'm gonna go the RUU method as everything will be fresh and unmodified.
Thanks for your help!
