I just got a notification that there was a system update for my phone. I'm running a rooted, but otherwise stock phone. When it downloads and reboots it goes to the recovery menu instead of updating. Is there something that I need to do to get this to install?

Do you have the stock recovery or is it custom. You have to be on stock ROM and stock Recovery in order to OTA. You may lose root, but being rooted will not affect the OTA installing.
Ah, that may be the problem. I have TWRP installed, so does that mean that I'll have to flash a rom that's been updated?
Thanks!

You have to flash stock recovery at least. Some people were having luck just flashing the stock recovery and some were having to relock the bootloader as well. I tried flashing the stock recovery and running the update but it failed. I don't really want to relock my bootloader and lose all my data when I unlock it again, so I'm holding off for now.

When there is one available it will be posted in the android development forum.
but if you are impatient... try Blandroid 2.3.4... it's AOSP-based, rooted and 99% stock... http://blandroid.org/downloads
Geo411m usually posts a nice near stock custom ROM based on each release. If you watch the development forum for this username I bet you'll see one pop-up soon after the N1 specific code is officially available. I've used them before with good results and there is a theme post with nice themes made specifically for Geo's ROMs.
I'm using a rooted version of FRG83G (2.2.2) but I can't do the ota update because of my rooted version.
Is there a way to upgrade my OS ? (my boot loader is unlocked)

Backup ask your data with Titanium.
Passimg back to stock, and update to 2.3.4.
fastboot flash recovery.
Use recovery to install ChainsDD's su.
Restore your Titanium backup...
Blandroid is very good. It contains even my local language, so it's even better than stock from Google. Can be installed as stock replacement.
Flash FR91, Go into HBOOT and flash the stock recovery, start up, force checkin and let it update ( you only have 1 chance at this if you screw up you'd have to do the whole thing again ).
Download SU.zip and flash from recovery.
There you go you have 2.3.4 stock with root.

Yeah? I'm not sure if that's the way you say it but hboot flash recovery recovery.img ?
Or is it called bootloader...
That would be fastboot, not hboot.
Why would you want a stock recovery, and how do you plan on flashing the su.zip with a stock recovery?
My bad, I keep on getting confused with G1.
If you do not have stock recovery, it will not flash the OTA update from 2.2 to 2.3.3 then 2.3.4. After the sequence is done you can go back into fastboot and flash a custom recovery. After that you can flash SU.zip
You can flash an update from any recovery, just turn the signature verification off...
Do-it-yourself way....
1. Get 2.3.4 system dump from here, and Android Kitchen here.(If your OS is Windows, you will need to install modified Cygwin to use it)
2. Cook the system dump files with Android Kitchen.
3. ?
4. Now you have rooted 'stock' 2.3.4 package that can be flashed on custom recovery!

But this is an ota update. Mine did not flash. It went back into recovery after downloading the ota update but it will not flash.
You can flash OTAs through any recovery, just turn the signature verification off. I've done it many times, including the update 2.3.4...

Then I must have done something wrong then. All mine did was boot back into recovery and stay there without flashing anything. I still made it work though.
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.

None of the HTC direct updates will work while TWRP is installed.
you will have to
Fastboot flash (stock recovery .img)
then the updated from HTC works with no problems. pst if you can't find the img
For me the stock phone is almost perfect as is. I'd just like root access to achieve different tasks using Tasker and Secure Settings.
So how can the following be achieved:
1) Root access without CWM Recovery
2) Still receive OTA's
3) Nandroid without CWM Recovery
4) Restore Nandroid without CWM Recovery
The important thing for me is still getting OTA's without having to flash stock recovery etc. Plan on staying stock as long as the OTA's continue.
I'm used to Samsung so the whole HTC rooting process is somewhat alien. Any guidance appreciated.

Use TWRP?
You can fastboot boot CWM, rather than flash it, but you know, it's probably a lot easier to flash the recovery and leave it on there until you need to install the OTA and then just flash stock back recovery.

I'm on mobile so, no, too much hassle.
fastboot boot cwm-recovery.img
Instead of
fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery.img
But I feel that booting the recovery every time you want to back up or restore is more hassle than flashing stock recovery every OTA.
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 recieved several times a message saying that i have to install a security update (at&t), after some time i decided to install it but when i try to i get a status 7, another thing what do i need to install a custom rom on my arix hd, it has android 4.1 from at&t, unlocked bootloader, cwm, and carrier unlocked (i dont want to loose this), in my touchpad i just have to download the rom + gapss and install them from a custom recover, so i dont know if this is the same for the atrix hd, thanks in advance.
You need to be running stock recovery and stock ROM to install the update.
The update includes security patches and some modem updates. This update may be necessary for taking the OTA KK update.

ok thanks for answering, i have stock rom so, but unlocked bootloader can i install it then just by installing the stock recovery?
You may need to be unrooted in addition to having stock recovery.
If you removed too many of the att apps, that may cause the update to fail as well.

Did you phone take the update or is it automatically booting into recovery?
The best way to get the update is to flash back to stock ATT 4.1.1, take the OTA update, re-install CWM, and carry on using a custom ROM. This is exactly what I did with a Bell Canada Atrix HD.
You can try re-installing stock recovery in fastboot.

Yeah. The quickest, sure-fire way to get in a position to take the OTA update is to flash back to stock (stock files available here). You can use RSD or MythTools, whatever works for you. Doing this will also put you back on stock recovery.
I had to do this, too, before I could take the OTA. But in my case I had modified/removed too many AT&T stock apps...
thanks to both of you, yes the phone rebooted itself like about 40 secs from turning on i was able to fix this part by formatting cache from cwm, now im gonna try to flash stock recovery

I got a Bell Canada Atrix HD from a co-worker. When I used Myth to flash from stock Bell to stock ATT, it would not work properly. When I used RSD with 98.4.20 without going through Myth, the ATT ROM flashed without any errors. I was able to take the OTA update, flash CWM, and revert to a custom ROM.
