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
Thanks!

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.

[Q] (Q)How to install the official 4.2.2 update with root

Ive downloaded the 4.2.2 official update on my HTC one,When I click install now it goes into TWRP and doesnt allow me to update.
Do I need to flash the custom recovery to update?
and if so will I need to flash TWRP later after upgrading or is there another way?
Can I locate the update file on TWRP and install it ?

Search for the stock recovery, download it, flash it with the phone in fsstboot mode.

[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

I am trying manually update it. But in recovery after red triangle it is restarting even after I press power and volume up button. So I am not reaching to recovery selection menu.

Did you flash the proper version of stock recovery? it Must be the same version as your phones currently installed OS.

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

Help needed

I've posted this in the sprint m7 forums with no help so far. Going fishing here to see if i can get some help
I was updating my m7spr to the latest cm12 nightly, which i've been doing about once a week, and all of a sudden I cannot update apps from the play store or install any apks from my storage. I go to factory reset or uninstall some apps to make some room, and the apps won't uninstall and my recovery, TWRP, is gone. It flashes the TWRP logo and then restarts. I am currently at the bootloader screen unlocked s-on and have been trying to fastboot flash everything i can think of from a cm12 rom zip, a stock sense zip, a twrp recovery zip and img. nothing is working. I have tried to relock my bootloader and run a RUU, from the latest RUU_M7_WL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_6.23.651.6_Radio_1.01.20.1225_CNV_CNV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_425282_signed_2 to an earlier version Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU and that didn't work either. sat at the htc/ruu screen for a half hour with no result.
I am at a loss as to what to do next and what will work to get my damn phone back to working order.
My h-boot is 1.56.0000 and again i am S-ON
Thanks in advance for your assistance

Razr I XT890 4.4.2 EU OTA update

I'm surprised that nobody else has uploaded any of the OTAs yet, so I thought I'd start.
I uploaded it on 2 servers, in case one is down:
Blur_Version.91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU.zip:
wicked fast: https://mega.nz/#!FU4TBDyb!Cl3OB3M2GTvG-gcDK0vWQNzI090EFJ60suqJpzPsiQo
also fast: http://180upload.com/ag1ccjfznluh
Again, this is stock Razr I EU OTA from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2
This should be very handy for the ones who still haven't received the OTA so you can flash it manually.
Please note that the GPT gets flashed, so a downgrade to 4.1.2 can be tricky after taking this update.

Can i flash this with rsd-lite when i already have kitkat OTA? I would like to flash again kitkat, because i had reboots with the stock.

No, those are not fastboot files, only the OTA. There are no released fastboot files available for kitkat so there is nothing you can flash with RSD

Can sombody give me a alive link? not sure why its posted here cus I ment for the twrp installer

The stock recovery can be extracted from a RSD-Lite package. Than reboot in fastboot and use the command "fastboot flash recovery <recovery>". Now u will have the stock recovery instead of CWM.
Do know that going from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 with the OTA update requires no modification to the system partition, except from adding files. Modifying files or deleting files from the system partition will make the update fail. So if u only have root installed through recovery then there is a hugh change everything works. But if u deleted some bloatdware, then it most likely will fail.

Here i thought i had to root first then flash custom recovery ?

Can I apply this OTA update over a standard 4.1.2?. I am using 4.1.2 from Personal Argentina , recovery is stock, but only I have root. I know that is not update to 4.4.2 of my versión so I should go to retail BR or EU but if I flash via RSD I will lost all my settings.
So if I update using this OTA (or BR OTA) to go to 4.4.2 from other 4.1.2, can be a problem?
Regards,
Claudio.

If you are in fastboot mode, the recovery's should flash just fine If u have an unlocked bootloader. Should not be more than 5-10 seconds to finish. If something goes wrong it will say it on screen and even in the terminal on your PC.
