Hi,
I wanted to ask whether I will get the official OTA update if my bootloader says *TAMPERED*.
Also, what else could prevent me form getting the updates? I am running this ROM.
Thanks for your time.

Yes you will get the official update but you need to have the stock recovery installed, so when the update comes out flash the stock recovery using fastboot, do the OTA update and then reflash TWRP or CWM and thats it.
You'll need to lock your bootloader aswell.

Actually No you don't have to as long as you have the stock odexed ROM and the stock recovery you can do the OTA!

Didn't work for me when I went back to stock, OTA failed but worked after I'd relocked my bootloader.

That's weird, it worked for me when I updated to 1.24.401.8 last week!
Thanks for the answers. My ROM should be de-odexed. That is a problem I presume?
Thanks again for your time.

It's needs to be the stock ROM in stock form, without modification, otherwise the OTA will probably fail.
Retested this morning, update downloads, goes to install but stops part way through and shows the red triange with exclamation point ... That's on a stock, odexed ROM with stock recovery.
Several times I have run ruu on pc to go back to 4.1.2 using 1.28.401.6 ruu, then with S off and super cid and unlocked bootloader have successfully received and installed Ota updates up to an including 2.224.401.8
I am convinced that ota are no problem with unlocked bootloader.
Don't know if s off effects this

Guys,
My HTC ONE Google Play Edition received the 4.3 update notification, but when I tried, it gave me a status 7 error and refused to install the update. How can I solve this? I'm using stock kernel, CWM recovery, and it's rooted.
Thanks a lot.

you need stock (gpe) recovery and maybe temp unroot (with supersu)

You have to flash only the stock recovery and relock the bootloader
And yes, use that guide.
After the update will be installed

Thanks guy!! I will check the post thoroughly later. However, just one more quick question. Since my device is an original GPE, it looks like all I have to do will be just a fastboot flash recovery & fastboot oem relock? Seems like from that guide, most steps prior to these commands are needed to turn a normal HTC ONE into a GPE one. Am I understanding correctly here?
Thanks again.
Relocking boot loader not necessary. My boot loader is unlocked.

Is better if the relock isn't necessary
Guys, thanks for you guys help. I've stocked it back to stock recovery, and have the bootloader locked back. Now when I start the phone, the little lock isn't shown anymore. However, I'm still having 2 issues here.
1) The 4.3 update isn't there anymore!! It doesn't come back even I did a clear cache/force close on the Google Services Framework.
2) It's still showing my phone is still tampered. I booted into the recovery, and it's now the stock one. Is that normal?
Thanks.
Normal because you're rooted
Thanks guy!! I could upgrade successfully.
Hello, I have HTC One Intl (see my signature) on everything stock. Phone is S-off and rooted. Yesterday I had seen 4.3 OTA notification, downloaded it and tried to install, but installation failed in recovery (red triangle with exclamation). I've tried it several times, but no luck - phone reboots to recovery, installation process begins and fails at ~30 per cent.
Help me find out, why it happens (maybe i can find installation log somewhere, but don't know where to search) and how to install this update.
You need:
- Stock Recovery
- Stock rom without root
- Locked/Relocked bootloader
After your phone can install the OTA.

Recovery is stock.
Can I use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to temporary unroot? At least it gives such possibility, don't know will it work or not.
Is locked/relocked bootloader obligatory? if yes, I will search how to relock it again.
Thanks.

Dont mean to intrude, but I'm pretty sure he can leave the bootloader unlocked, even root I think
He does need to have stock recovery, stock rom (including the preloaded apps that get deleted when unlocking), I think that's about it.

Mate i have a friend that with s-off needed a relocked bootloader for OTA.
I'm not sure.
but i think is better upgrading with a flash or firmware and rom.

make sure the "preload" apps are for your version, mate!!
If you signature is correct: "ROM: Stock 2.24.401.8 (Android 4.2.2)" Maybe just best to use the Guru Reset ROM.
EDIT: I recommend full backup to PC first though, just in case!!

Yes, of course, i will search apps for my ROM version and backup it to PC before doing anything.

fastboot screen only shows your firmware, you also need a stock ROM (you can check which version you have in Settings -> About -> etc.)

Same version there
ROM is stock, it was updated via OTAs from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. All was fine.
Only my customization is rooting, s-off and unlocking bootloader.

then you may just be missing the "preloaded" apps, here's an idea, why not dirty flash (ie no WIPE) the Guru Reset ROM: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
BTW: the reason I mentioned the backup to PC, is one time I flashed stock recovery (and accessed it), and i was unpleasantly surprised it wiped my internal storage.

Good luck, and if you do (and wanna help the rest of the community) can you try with both ROOT and unlocked bootloader first, and see if it works.
I know it's a bit of a hassle but at least you would be able to confirm if ROOT or unlocked bootloader are interfering with the update
unlocked bootloader will not interfere with ota,did it myself
sent from my s-off 801n M7_UL

you're rooted trying to do an OTA?
once you root, accepting an OTA can mess up your phone or make you lose root.

don't flash back to it in twrp. use rsdlite or manually flash it with fastboot commands. if you actually flashed the full ota and didn't have root or twrp anymore then you would be able to take the OTA no problem.

Oddly I've done that even before I put twrp on my phone I used mfastboot with the stock IMG I got from moto. I did the update right when I got the phone and it did what I described so I thought I for find a something where I could flash stock to my phone by using twrp.
Download Motorola device manager. It should automatically restore the software to stock 4.4.
http://d1tsx1og7dz7v4.cloudfront.net/MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe
thx for the help i had to mfastboot 4.4
This is your easiest option. All you need to do is run this utility. It will install drivers, download firmware, and flash back to stock. I used it earlier, and it's brilliant.
Even if you've already solved your problem, I highly recommend saving this for later use.

probably, you must be 100% stock rom and stock recovery to get OTA's, if you have relocked your bootloader then you will have to unlock your bootloader again so you can flash the stock recovery.
stock recovery is here, as long as your OTA is 7.19.401.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59082816&postcount=2

I flashed my phone with CyanogenMod13, completely not knowing what I was doing. I realized there were a few bugs on CM13 like my camera not working and things like that so I want to go back to stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 so I can have FOTA and a fully functioning phone. I know it was pretty silly of me to actually attempt this without consideration but could anyone help me out on getting back?
I have a Z5 Compact E5823.
Thanks.
Just download flashtool, stock firmware and flash it
btw. It's Xperia Z section, not Z5
Thanks man, sorry about the wrong section.
Will I be able to flash stock rom and receive OTA updates? My bootloader is currently unlocked.
I have already tried flashing before and I am getting random errors each time, with all drivers downloaded properly.
I flashed it with Emma last night and it took me to 5.1.1, and I cant receive any updates, so what am I doing wrong?
I want to go back to stock rom with OTA updates, although CyanogenMod13 was great.

Nope, OTA not working on unlocked bootloader, this can brick your phone
How can I lock my bootloader? Or do you think its recommended I keep the bootloader unlocked?

I don't even know what that is lol. I should've done research in advance before proceeding to unlock my bootloader. I did make a backup of everything though, I used a tutorial, I used TWRP to backup stuff, or something like that?
Also, is there no way to receive OTA updates now that my bootloader is unlocked? Will flashing stock rom not allow me to receive OTA updates?
Thanks for your ongoing support btw, really stressing me out lol.
