Hi guys. Im really having a problem with my phone now. I can't update my phone or do a hard reset as I will be directly brought to the fastboot menu with a security warning on the top. When i go back to the hboot menu and try to do recovery or factory reset, the same thing happens.
I really want to know what is going on and how do I solve this problem..
SEARCH FUNCTION! We have hundreds of threads, guides and tuts about it. I say it again, SEARCH FUNCTION.

Don't be angry... If you entered recovery and got security warning, try to flash the recovery again.

Hey, thanks for the advice. but what recovery should I flash again ?
Try the Clockworkmod first. If it is bootable, flash a rom and install 4EXTrecovery via 4EXT Updater.

Did you lock the bootloader or something? Try mentioning the steps leading to your situation, rather than just the end result. We shouldn't have to be playing guessing games especially when you're coming to us asking for help.

Alright guys. Im so sorry. I've actually managed to unlock the bootloader again, and flashed CWM. As gingerbread 2.3.5 was just pushed out to my country several days ago. I've brought my phone to the HTC service centre today. and they are also unable to run the RUU update. So they took in my phone for servicing and they will update my phone when the repair is done. Thanks for your help guys.. still needs to be sent in though.. 4th time im sending this phone in already...
What's version of ROM? Root? S-off?
Need more details...

If you were as quick replying to your thread as you were in taking the phone to HTC we could have got you fixed up. You needed stock recovery flashed, I believe. Hope HTC don't charge you for this "repair".

Hey, actually i havent sent my phone for the repair yet. any links for the stock recovery file ?
Hey guys. I've read that, installing the same version of RUU will get everything back to stock, including the recovery, but im on version 2.30.707.1 , and the closest file available for download is 2.30.405.1 , So am I able to run 2.30.405.1 's RUU to get everything back to stock ?

Guys! Everything is okay now!! I've unlocked my bootloader again to flash a stock recovery, locked my bootloader and did the OTA update. Everything is well now! Thanks for all the solutions!!
I've searched and searched and can't find this topic so here goes...
I have the DE and it is rooted. I'd like to install the OTA as I'm still running stock otherwise. Do I have to unroot to get it to install? For fun I tried loading it with CWM and that just locked it up.
Thoughts or threads I've missed?
im curious too :/ the only way i could update was unrooting and for that the only way i could do so, was restoring a backup from CWM, i couldnt falsha RUU or ZIP :/
would be great if some one help us to find out how to unroot (an easier way) or apply OTA even rooted (guess this is not possible :/)

As far as I know, OTA should work fine if you have ONLY rooted and NOT installed any custom recovery. So I believe restoring stock recovery could make your phone receive the OTA. I could be wrong too.

Hmmm then I'm a bit confused, I believe I have stock recovery installed, I haven't done anything other than backup and root. I just tried running the update from the prompt and it sends me to CWM. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what stock recovery is?

D'oh! My bad.
In attempt to get the stock recovery back I've tried the RUU that should be for the 64GB DE edition but it keeps throwing an error. Is Brightstar US WWE RUU 3.4.10 v4.1 1.29.1540.3 the wrong one?

First things first is your phone the developer edition? Sorry to ask a silly question just want to make sure you are not trying to flash the wrong firmware to your phone.
You can find the stock recovery under the development thread and you can flash this with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (in fastboot mode of course)
for a DE, you have to lock its bootloader and then using RUU to get it back to stock, or just fastboot flash the stock recoery image to override your custom recovery, both are working to update OTA according to my test.

I posted this in another section a couple days ago on how I did the OTA with my DE.
Now you do have to push a stock recovery to get it working but then after you load the OTA you can go back and push TWRP or CWM. I then reflashed supersu but not sure if I needed to or not.
You don't need to lock the bootloader on the DE edition.

relocking bootloader is needed for the RUU way, for reflashing stock recovery way, it is not necessary.

I don't understand why you'd have to lock a bootloader for a device that came with it unlocked from the factory? Even the ruu from HTC for the DE requires you to lock the bootloader?

Actually I don't understand either, but it is true, I failed several times to use RUU gettting back stock before re-locking my DE, I guess HTC developer does not apply any special code for the DE RUU program, you can have a try if you have a chance to do so.
Dang I already relocated and RUU'd it... Oh well next time.
Thanks though!!

Hi guys...
So I've been searching for a fix for my google play edition htc one... I'm currently on stock 4.2.2, I unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM, rooted the device, installed a custom kernel. Everything was perfectly fine until I wanted to install 4.3 on my phone. I never flashed anything but the kernel to this phone. (since I knew cm10.2 would need time to get massaged) I am having problem flashing any rom onto my phone.
I got the OTA, I tried installing that, and in the middle of the install, the android icon goes from the blue swirl to the android lying down dead.
I tried uninstalling the kernel... no good. I reflashed the stock 4.2.2 recovery, no luck. I tried to RUU the phone (after relocking the device), and it fails with the message (remote: 12 signature verify fail). I get the same error w/ the 4.2.2 and 4.3 RUU... (both from the conversion to google edition thread)
I gave up on going w/ stock after trying several times. I downloaded the cm10.2 official nightly for the m7ul, transferred the zip file, and installed it thru CWM but I get the "Status 7" error that says "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == m7 II etc. etc. I checked my build.prop and my ro.product.device is set to m7.... just like how it is supposed to be....
Is there anything I'm doing wrong here? Do you guys have any idea why I am unable to flash anything?? Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Install twrp or cwm again. Install nammit94's stock 4.2.2 rom. Put stock recovery back. Software update should install 4.3 then. The ruu won't work to restore you because it's a user made unsigned package and only works on s-off devices. Just installing stock kernel probably failed because there are non stock modules left over in /system nammit94's rom should set things right

I think you can go back to stock, but read first. There are posts for how to do it. I think your mistake was you tried to flash an OTA with a custom recovery, doesn't work..ll
There is no ruu for an s-on htc one Google edition. You have to be very careful. Make a nandroid.
I tried flashing the stock recovery back before applying ota too.. Can you point me to the right thread?? I've been searching but can't seem to find the right info... BTW I think turges ROM worked.. Not sure why cm didn't

a stock backup + stock recovery, which is flashable should be fine.
I have a backup of post-rooting stock and I tried using that with the ota with stock recovery... But that didn't work.. I guess I should've backed up prior to rooting? Not sure if it makes a difference... Is there an easy way to unroot other than ruu?

Hey Guys,
I got an HTC Vivid a while ago. However, when I got , I looked into the software unlock method to unlock it. Doing so required for the phone to first be rooted. So I followed through some steps to root it. WORST DECISION EVER ! Since then, not only did the unlock not work, but the phone has gotten so slow and dysfunctional it is barely useful. I mean, everything else runs properly, except Calls and Text Message. i.e The phone isn't performing its right function.
Thus, I wanted to look into a way to 'unroot it' or at least just return COMPLETELY to factory settings. I want to be at least able to sell it and buy another. I've looked through and tried a couple of guides to remove the root. One seemed to work really well, until I restarted the phone, where the "Cleanup" window came back on, and the phone returned to its old rooted self.
Thanks in advance for your help !

I rooted using a method I saw here, which was supposed to be one of the steps to software unlock.
However, it is not already uncooked using the regular IMEI, which is completely different.
So, now I just want to unroot, and bring the phone back to factory, with those "Android is Upgrading...Optimizing applications" message at every boot up.
Anyone ?!

No, sorry ,I meant to say that you have to be on stock RUU to be able to achieve s-off. The guide that I followed was "The HTC Superguide " in the development section of this device. Firstly, I did a full wipe, as in Dalvic cache, Cache, System, Boot and Factory Data Reset, also SD card, then I relocked the device with "fastboot oem lock", after that I tried to run the stock RUU ( The one the phone was originally on ), which started the initial flash but stopped at about 10% and came up with " ERROR 140 ". I tried 4 or 5 times and even tried another computer with the same result.

You could try flashing an old gingerbread ROM and then try the RUU, as it seems to have something to do with the rom on the phone being newer than the RUU or something.

I have tried flashing an old gingerbread rom ( 2.27.841.6 ) as well as the latest version I could find ( 3.25.841.4 ) but I keep getting "ERROR 140 WRONG BOOTLOADER" and it also says the current version is 3.44.841.3 which is why I can't upgrade because I'm really trying to downgrade. The update to 3.44.841.3 from 3.25.841.4 was only about 58Mb but I can't find that and I don't think it would be of much use.
I have also tried to s-off the device with a live Ubuntu 12.04 32bit CD using ControlBear instructions but hit a snag because the sudo ./ControlBear command does nothing. I think the permissions or password may be out of date. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
I made a PH39IMG.zip from the 3.25.841.4 and tried flashing that but got the Wrong Image message too.

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...

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

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.

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

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.
