[Q] Applying OTA.zip manually with stock recovery? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to apply the official OTA update to my HTC one with a stock recovery? For some reason I've messed my phone up & gone back to S-on with 1.54 hboot. I never receive the OTA updates so usually have to wait until somebody posts an updated stock Rom but then I lose all data etc as I have to unlock the boot loader.
In my bootloader somehow I've changed the os from 2.24.401.1 to 1.00.000.0 in the hope I could flash a stock RUU which didn't work but I'm guessing that's why I can't get the OTA updates now.
I'm currently on a stock 2.24.401.1 Rom with stock recovery.
Any help appreciated please.

Apparently so according to the many website I stumbled on googling it, none seem to detail the recovery part or where to put the zip file...
Any ideas? I tried slapping it on the root of internal storage and selected install zip from internal storage and it flashes and reboots without applying... Thoughts?

I just did it, don't know exactly how.
First what I did is to copy the ota.zip to /sdcard/update.zip, using adb.
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Then I restarted in recovery mode. I don't know how, I could make some options appear on the screen, I guess I presses vol+ and vol- at the same time for a while, then power button. I got a few errors about could no mount sdcard. And indeed, the sdcard were not mounted. I tried a few things, and the choose to apply a zip from phone memory. After look at the folder tree, I realized that /data/media/0 was my sdcard, and the update.zip was there, so I choose it and everything went fine after that.
Hope it helps.

You can only flash an ota with stock recovery if you're s-off

Bootloop/Stuck on Boot Screen

I have scoured and can't find anything! Having a right mare here!!!! I had stock ROM, simply rooted it and then tried to flash a few other files here and there and clearly broke it. Now it wont boot. I cannot for the life of me work out how to fix this. Just want the stock odexed ROM back really or any ROM which means I can just receive OTA updates and plod along happily. I have downloaded stock ROM but can't seem to push via sideload. Can I run RUU from fastboot screen? What else can I do here? Any way to push a zip to my SD card so I can flash that way?
I knew I should have backed up before I flashed anything else. Was about to but then bloody didn't for some daft reason!! TOOL!!
Can anyone offer any help, thanks.
if you are using cwm recovery then you can mount the sd card from mounts and storage.

[Q] Need RUU for Three UK HTC One

Ok, so I'm a total noob with android, having just recently converted from my iPhone to my HTC One. I decided to root my phone a few days ago, using Hassoon2000's All-In-One Kit, and everything went smoothly without any problems. However, I decided to try and flash a ROM to disable system write protection because I couldn't update SuperSU. I used this video here
Anyway, after flashing, my phone tried to boot up and got stuck at the "HTC One, quietly brilliant" screen, and won't go any further, but I can still get into the bootloader and CWM recovery. I was told to run the RUU for my phone to unroot and unbrick, so I downloaded the file and ran it. When it was installing, I noticed that the ROM that the RUU was installing was an older version than the one on my phone, and the RUU then gave me error 131.
I'm in a dead end here, I honestly have no idea what to do, but my guess is that the RUU that I got was outdated, so I need a newer version of the Three UK HTC One RUU. Can anyone help me out here?
There is no Three RUU - Three have yet to release it. Which rom were you trying to load? Use the toolkit to sideload the rom in recovery then once you've got your phone working again, transfer the CWM nandroid backup for 3 UK from the page you've just linked to. Place it in your clockworkmod backup folder then restore it in recovery. This will get you back to stock rom if you still want it, not stock recovery though.

The file I was trying to install is linked in that YouTube video. Also, when I tried to sideload viperROM, recovery just said "unable to mount /data" and the sideload failed. I also tried using TWRP recovery to flash the ROM, it said there was no OS when I was trying to reboot.

Use this guide to push a rom to your phone, then flash it in recovery:

Also, you know that you install viper 1.0 first then to the updates one at a time in order? Just checking, apologies if you already knew that.

I did this, and then when I went into recovery to look for the ROM, I couldn't find it, and noticed that it said "Internal Storage 0 MB". Do you think I could have messed up my partitions when I originally tried to disable write protection?

[Q] HELP. HTC One "Please insert an SD card"

Hello everyone!
Today, I've rooted my T-Mobile HTC One using Hasoon's All-in-one tool kit. I had no problem rooting it, everything went smoothly.
After I've rooted my HTC One, (On stock ROM still) I downloaded and installed the Bulletproof kernel and that was when I noticed I couldn't take any pictures with the camera, I opened the gallery app, and it said to "please insert an sd card". I tried to switch ROMs that includes a stock kernel but I can not download or drag/drop any files into my internal storage anymore, however, I can download and install apps with no problem. How can I restore the internal storage to be usable again? I appreciate any advice/help. Thank you all.

You installed a 4.2.2 kernal with a 4.1 ROM. Either download a stock kernel or a 4.2 rom. Boot into twrp or cwm, whichever you use, and adb push the file and flash. If you flash the ROM it will flash a stock kernel with it, so you'll need to reflash your custom kernel.

Is ADB push the same as putting the zip file on the SD of the storage card? then flashing it through recovery?

Yes, if you can simply drag and drop the file when you're booted normally, that method is much simpler. If for whatever reason you can't boot into your ROM, or if your computer won't show your internal storage (in this case because the unsupported kernel isn't reading the internal memory, and being a mtp device and not mass storage, the computer can't see it), you will need to boot into your custom recovery and "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/" or "fastboot flash boot boot.IMG".

I had an older version but used my computer to flash 2.6.0.0, which didnt do anything. i then flashed CWM 6.0.3.3 (touch) using my computer merely out of frustration last night. Here is the process I used for flashing both imgs in case you were curious: shift + right click in the folder with CWM img, fastboot flash recovery "name_of_the_recovery.img," fastboot erase cache.
Once again, this didnt do a thing, I just keep getting the same error when i touch "choose zip from sdcard" ---> E: Can't mount /sdcard/

What are you trying to flash? Do you have a working ROM you can boot into or does it crash on boot up ?

Would the encryption i have on my phone be causing this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes that's the reason: your sdcard is encrypted.

+1 matt, thank you for responding. my problem now is that i dont know how to decrypt my data. ive tried performing a factory reset, and i also powered down, powered up, the "decrypt" option was available, so i tried that. im in CWM and still cant flash anything: E: can't mount /sdcard/

After twrp format I can't access SD card

I have unlocked at rooted my htc one. Normally I used cwm but this time I thought I would give twrp a try. Once in flashed the ROM (HTC one Google edition 4.2) I was getting android system not responding so I thought I would clear the cache and reinstall the ROM. Since I had never used twrp before just hit format thinking it would don't the same as cmw but it formated everything on my phone. I thought at first my file system had been screwed up but my phone is still working. If I go to the file explorer on twrp it still shows all the folders but on my computer there is no folder in the phone and if i try to copy anything I get the error. "Phone may be disconnected or not responding" anyone had anything similar ? I'm going to take it as a good thing that my phone isn't a brick and this is some kind of mounting problem.

you need to reinstall the rom using the ADB method
Use the search option it works very well
