I'm on stock and I unlocked my bootloader/rooted my device. I want to get the OTA update for my device but because I have CWM I can't install. I tried to flash the stock recovery but when I reboot into recovery I just get a black screen. I read that I have to relock my bootloader. Wouldn't that erase everything on my device? Either way I need assistance in getting this OTA update taken care of.
Thanks.

You should RUU it, it will wipe everything from your phone, install stock ROM and recovery
Being your already on stock rom, you should be able to just re-lock and install stock recovery and not lose anything, other than root of course. Only lose everything when unlocking

and that's "fastboot oem lock" right?
relocked it and tried to flash the stock recovery and I'm getting a failed error.
It would make sense to relock the phone after attempting to flash the recovery. If the phone is locked, system, boot, and recovery partitions cannot be touched.
Yes that is right and yes flash stock recovery first.

I thought you could fastboot flash recovery even while locked.

Alright well it turns out that all you need to do is flash stock recovery. I made the mistake of locking the bootloader before flashing the recovery. I could've saved my data by just flashing stock recovery while the bootloader was unlocked. I unlocked the bootloader which erased my data, I flashed stock recovery and installed the OTA update. All while bootloader was unlocked. Thanks for the assistance guys.
Your welcome. Glad you got it to work.

After unlocking the bootloader, how would I flash ClockworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager. I was looking at Cyanogenmod wiki and it says that i would need root access to do it the easy method. Does this mean I need to root it before flashing the recovery or what?
If you haven't unlocked the bootloader, I would use a tool to root like SuperOneClick or rageagainstthecage, then just install ROM Manager (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&feature=search_result) and have it install the recovery.
If you HAVE unlocked the bootloader already, you just need to find a recovery image (like clockworkmod - http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html) and flash it in fastboot using the fastboot flash command.
So after flashing the recovery image, I could use the rom manager to update the recovery image if there is such a update correct?

If you flash a recovery image, the next step after that is installing a custom ROM. What I was stating was just that there is a way to flash a recovery image without unlocking the bootloader.
Of course, I completely get what you're saying. I already unlocked the bootloader, but after flashing the custom recovery image, would my phone be rooted with superuser and etc?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Superuser is an application. You gain root accesses to the filesystem by unlocking the bootloader.
So by unlocking the bootloader, I have root then?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Unlocking the bootloader allows you to flash unofficial (custom) images. You can flash recovery, system, boot images, etc. Unlocking the bootloader does NOT give you root access to the phone. You need to either root your stock image, or since your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a pre-rooted custom ROM.
You can also flash a custom recovery via fastboot, and use that to install a custom ROM. Note, however, that the stock ROM will restore the stock recovery on re-boot, so you will need to go into recovery immediately after installing, then flash your custom ROM. Custom ROMs don't restore the custom recovery...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
No. You just have a unlocked bootloader.
If you are looking at Cyans wiki I assume you want to install CM. So basically just get the recovery image you want to flash along with the ROM and the gapps. Put the ROM and gapps in the root of the sd card. Put the recovery image in the sdk folder with fastboot. I believe its still in the tools folder. Flash the recovery and reboot into recovery. If you boot the phone normally the stock ROM will replace the custom recovery you just flashed. So once your in the custom recovery you can install the CM ROM and gapps. Before you do that though do a nandroid back up. This way you can always just restore your system to its current state.
Oh! I get it! Thank you for the clarification. So how would I root the stock image?

So after rooting the phone and installing the recovery image. Would I have to install the radio in order to flash cyanogenmod 7? Is it completely necessary?
If you have radio 4.06 or higher, you should be OK...

sorry for beringing it up but I have question:
I unlocked bootloader but I do not want to install custom rom (at least yet) ... any guide or simple explanation how to install and have operating superuser app with root access on unlocked stock (GB) rom? (but to be able to OTA update in future?)
How about reading the Wiki, section "Root", guide for unlocked bootloader?
Or searching the forum for answer to one of the most asked questions?
Hi, i have been looking for a solution to flash the OTA "4.2.2". I have downloaded it but i can't flash it. What do i need too do to flash the OTA ?

Why ?
If I'm not wrong, you have to restore original recovery, 5 missing apps (they were lost during htcdev bootloader unlock procedure) and execute fastboot OEM lock.

You want to install OTA then you have to install a stock ROM with the same base for that region. You can't just flash an OTA zip even when your CID is the same. You need the right CID, MID and stock ROM to flash that specific OTA.
Where can I downloaded latest OTA?
Did you make nandroid backup before you flash cwm first time? If you have it, then extract original recovery from nandroid, restore everything using cwm, then flash original recovery and do fastboot OEM lock.
Don't forget to install 5 missing apps.

so, i just flashed the modified firmware.zip for 3.09 with twrp recovery, and everything was a success, until i rebooted..now im stuck in a bootloop.
bootloop as in the splashscreen when you turn on the device shows, and then it restarts
i followed everything right, relocked bootloader, etc etc
im soff, i once flashed a custom hboot (without the warning text), but i dont think that should be a problem with soff..
i have super cid, so what did i do wrong? and what can i do to fix it?
i was thinking of flashing cwm and restoring a previous backup i made, but when i try flashing it, it says "not allowed', so i cant even get cwm recovery.
so basically my question is, how do i get out of this bootloop after flashing the latest firmware.zip?
Maybe you can't flash a recovery because you are relocked?

twrp flashed fine..just cant get cwm to flash..so that shouldnt be the problem. regardless, how can i get out of this bootlooop
You can't flash cwm because you relocked the boot loader.
You're stuck in a bootloop because you can't have a locked boot loader and custom recovery. It will always cause a bootloop.
Unlock the boot loader and it will boot fine.

Can't get my stock unlocked one to boot into CWM recovery. Wanting a stock nandroid before doing S-off.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
Just hangs at downloading.
Is this a limitation of the 1.54 hboot or something else?

"fastboot boot recovery.img" no longer works in 1.54. You're going to have to flash CWM (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) to be able to get to CWM. and of course you'll loose stock recovery, so the nandroid will contain the CWM recovery.
How can I extract the stock recovery before flashing CWM?
Or where can I find stock recovery for 2.24.161.1?

Several people were looking for stock recovery for that version, don't know if anybody found it, but there is a Guru Reset for 2.24.161.1, which supposedly includes the stock recovery: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-161-1-zip/
Downloaded that. Not sure that is stock recovery. Says there is an option to restore stock recovery when available.
I found this....
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...k-recovery-2-24-161-1-vodafone-gesucht-2.html
Image size is different to one in ruu
Any way to verify?

I don't know how to decompile .img files, so can't verify.
One thing you can do (if the above don't work), is once you are S-Off, (temporarily) downgrade to this nandroid: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-vodap102-1-29-161-7-7z/
then download the OTA to 2.24.161.1, do not install, just extract recovery.img from the OTA file.
So the other day I successfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and SuperSU, installed a google play app too confirm HTC one was rooted and it was, Turned Security from on to S-OFF then finally flashed a stock Google Play Edition RUU to my device. Everything worked fine however, when I selected recovery from the boot menu, TWRP is now not loaded, I get a little android appear in the centre of the screen, that eventually falls over with a red cross in the centre.... I have checked to find that my device is now not rooted. So it seems the new RUU messed up the custom recovery?
Any ideas what I should do to get the root back? If i re-install TWRP and Supersu will it wipe data from the new RUU I installed?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. :silly:
