I rooted my HTC one and there is a software update now that I tried install but whenever I click install it takes me to the recovery screen. Is there anyway to install it or would I have to unroot it first?

the problem is your "unlocked" bootloader. you can only get OTA updates with a "relocked" or "locked" bootloader.
just use fastboot and type in "fastboot oem lock" and it should work if your still on stock-rom.
Would it be named "OTA_WL_JB_spcs_wwe".zip

what are you trying to install? an official OTA update or a zip-file which you downloaded?
The OTA. I havent downloaded any roms at all I'm still on stock
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
so you've downloaded a zip-file which contains the OTA update, right? if yes, you'd just have to flash this file in your recovery.
As I understand it, Your phone has a OTA available via [Settings - About - Software Updates]
You have downloaded and tried to install - but it boots the custom recovery instead of the stock recovery.
To fix this you would need to install a stock recovery.

Hope that was what you was after.

this was what i thought too, but then he mentioned his zip file... when you do an OTA via settings, you should never see this zip...
but i agree with SolCenva, flash stock recovery, lock your bootloader and it must work..

HTC Pushed an update to my HTC One Dev Ed tonight..
1.29.1540.16
When it tries to flash the update it just goes into TWRP recovery. No other actions.
I then drilled down to the directory that it downloaded to /data/media/downloads and tried to flash with TWRP.. no dice.
Here is the update.. but honestly I don't know what it does.
any Idea on what is preventing the flash?

You must go back to stock recovery in order for the update to successfully flash on your device.
You don't need the update from HTC, just go and flash the latest revolution 10.2 rom, it is running 4.2.2 and it has some nice performance tweaks. And it isn't modified so it's running sense 5.

For some of us, going to a different ROM is not a viable choice, and frankly a solution to load a different ROM does not answer the original question.
Hi I have the same problem here.
When I try to install stock 4.2.2, the phone reboot & automatically enter TWRP & thus stock update was unable to run.

Hello people,
I have HTC Desire C, Unlocked, S-ON, HBOOT-1.28.0000, stock ROM rooted with Munjeni Touch v5.5.0.4 as Custom Recovery.
Yesterday, I received an official update (after so long, wow) but when I choose to install it, phone reboots in CWM in error, displaying a yellow triangle with a ! inside and nothing can be done after that.
Any help?
Thank you,
Nikos.
You cannot update with a custom recovery. Flash stock recovery then try to upgrade.

Ah crap, I was afraid of that. Next million dollar question: How do I find the stock recovery again? I assume extracting it from a stock ROM?
EDIT: Thanks my friend, I found it from your signature!
No luck. Installed stock Recovery, update begins, but stops after a couple of seconds, with a red triangle on a phone icon.

Yes, the only mods I've applied was unlocking the phone via htcdev, install Munjeni CWM and root via SuperUser.
I applied stock recovery back as I said above but no luck....
Hello,
So I just want to clear something out. So once I have used a the Asus app and unlocked my tab, I CANNOT relock it again? Also once unlocked, I can no longer receive OTA from Asus and therefore have to download it manually?
I just need clarification on these two questions. Thank you.

Yep, it's a one-way process.
But we can still download the official update from Asus and flash as long as we are on stock recovery, correct? And if i'm not mistaken, we can always revert back to stock recovery. Just can't go back to a locked bootloader.
Damn if I knew this I wouldn't have... oh well. Thanks for the answers!

Another problem: I up had installed cwm recovery and cromi Rom from here. I wanted to revert back to stock firmware, so I downloaded the zip from asus site and put in root directory, however when I flash the zip with CWM it always gives me status 6 error. I searched this and I tried a possible solution using notepad++ but didn't work. Can anyone help me why I can't install stock firmware without getting the status 6 error?

You can't flash the stock firmware from cwm. You need to fastboot flash the stock recovery from droid basement and then extract the stock zip onto your internal card and boot that way. Alternatively you could just flash my stock ROM in the Dev section.
Why do you want to go back to pure stock?
Wow lol I spend hours trying to flash through CWM. thank u very much sdbags. I wanted to revert back because, lol my WiFi was acting wiered with the ROM. some apps like "showbox" worked fine with stock, but with cromi it would go very slow and take really long to load a list of movies or shows. I Donni maybe wifi drivers are not same on cromi? Anyway, thanks for the stock installation solution.

The reason I think why it not flashing because ur cromi Rom is 4.3 and the stock firmware is also 4.3 so I guess tablet thinks it's not new so it does t flash it.

Why don't you just flash my Asus Stock ROM first? It's 99.9% the Asus files - just with ROOT added.
I haven't tested the following but if you MUST flash the Asus Stock from a PC you would do it using the following. I won't take any responsibility if you brick and you do this at your own risk. Personally if I were you I wouldn't do it this way as flashing my Asus Stock will do EXACTLY the same. Note that the below instructions are for 4.2.2. Be warned - it will erase the bootloader so if it doesn't flash properly you will brick permanently.

I recently rooted my sprint htc one (not very pleasant since I had to wipe my whole phone). I have installed TWRP and I am running the stock HTC ROM 4.06.651.4 and have root access. I keep getting the alert for an update from sprint about the 4.06.651.9 update. I cannot install since it takes me to TWRP if I try to install it. Is there a way to install this update without completely wiping my phone again? If so how?

You can flash the stock recovery and download on the phone and install, then when all done, flash TWRP and re-root, thats only if you lose it of course.
Stock recovery: https://www.mediafire.com/?3kwe7hiq9qeusdb
Just flash via fastboot flash recovery Stock_recovery.img
Then install OTA
then flash TWRP again, this should work, as I have done it before.
But not if you have a hotspot hack...
We do need a stock/rooted/hotspothacked 4.06.651.9 build that we can flash via fastboot.
Thank you, that worked perfectly! I am now rooted with stock ROM and 4.06.651.9 without losing any content.

You can try flash image GUI, it's free here on the forums or you have to pay in the play store. I use that to flash twrp recoveries, I don't see how it wouldn't work with stock.

I had my phone download this and then just copied it off. My phones build was 98.18.94. Not sure what the difference between this and 98.30 is. I'm rooted so I haven't installed it but it's here for anyone that wants it. My phone downloaded a different version than I found online. It was version 182.46.10XT907.Verizon.en.US. I don't know what other phone builds it will work with. Either way use at your own discretion.

My understand is that it should leave the bootloader unlocked. It will replace the recovery, radio and other system partitions. If you removed anything from the /system/apps folder then I think it will fail/abort install. I've removed some so I need/want to RSD back to stock and then update but if I do then I'll lose root which I use.
Yes, and with SELinux and some other enhancements in KitKat I wouldn't even take a future root for granted.

Posting updates on how to use this thru the stock recovery.
This is how it is supposed to be used:
1 - Flash LATEST stock SBF of JB thru RSD. (Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US)
2 - After RSD flash reboot phone on stock recovery and proceed to install update from SD card, here select the file that is provided at the beginning of the thread.
3 - After this first flash completes, phone is going to reboot in recovery again, to open the menu of this specific recovery, the combo of the buttons is power + vol up.
4 - proceed to install from sd card again and select the same file that you selected on the second step.
5 - Wait for it to finish
6 - Wipe data/factory reset
7 - Select restart system, Phone will restart in KK, enjoy guys.
Keep in mind that you have to follow the explanation at the beggining of the thread or this one, if you dont follow this steps like this, you wont be able to install this update or you wont be able to finish installing the update.
is this the offical KK update?
Yes it is official. Like I posted earlier, its OTA from Verizon.

I doubt it. It's for stock phones. It will need a stock recovery I do believe.
Hmmm..
My razr is stock & rooted, and I have manually removed several bloat apps. If I attempt to this update ota could it cause any harm to my system aside from possible abort/update fail? Will it remove root? Gracias.
It won't install... or its not suppose to.

My understanding is you can retain some root functionality using SuperSU Pro's Survival Mode. I believe you'll still lose R/W capability.
The best approach would be to unlock your bootloader. I've heard some success with custom recovery, though stock recovery would be best bet.

This method did not work for me after i flashed back to 98.30.1 the stock recovery doesnt see the update and i just get the android logo. When i go to software updates the service is unavailable/
my bootloader has unlock. and does it mean I can have root permission after I flash the stock zip package?
OK here it is, black and white and very simple:
Bootloader Locked - NO ROOT, NO CUSTOM RECOVERY.
Bootloader Unlocked - CWM Recovery and FULL ROOT with SuperSu.
That's it, no if ands or buts.
