Sep 2013 update - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have two t-mobile Germany HTC ones. Both running stock rooted 4.2.2. Yesterday one of the two notified me of an update called "HTC software updates v5" a 1.45mb file. My questions: 1. why only one phone got the update? Is that normal?
2. I should flash stock recovery before installing the update correct?

[Q] How to get Official OTA update after root

Hi,
I purchased my Note from Amazon.de and it came with Baseband Version: N7000XXLB2 which is a German version. I live in England so I wanted to move to a UK rom. As I could not root it by any given method, I downladed " N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000CPWKK3 -----------United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse)" and flashed it via Odin. Than I got my root but now I can't get it updated via built in Software Update thing. My current Baseband is:N7000XXKK5. Any suggestions to get official OTA updates?
Regards
I believe because you are on latest build 2.3.6 that you won't get any OTA updates until ICS is available. I've never had one OTA update (had the phone for 6 months) and always put this down to the fact that I have manually updated many kernels and ROMs so am always on a recent one.
If you flashed the latest UK rom then you won't get any OTA updates since it's the latest rom.
Even if you get ota you should not update as you would loose root doing so.

make sure you only have root and not non stock kernel.
that stops ota as well as having different csc than the stock rom you are with. In my experience at least.
So if you dont have latest rom for your csc and do want it with functional ota then flash through Odin a pre december version that is rootable in conventional way. Then only root it. After root try Ota, it should deliver incremental upgrades. After each test root thought by updating superuser app. Tedious process but that guarantees keeping Ota and root for me at least.
All at own risk, and do the proper backups like efs if you havent done so already. pm if you need more details

You can S-OFF your Phone then change the cid to HTC__001

Can i get the ota update simply or will it brick my rooted phone
Secondly if i delete all the unnecessary apps and unroot my phone then can ota update the phone and new Android version will be there without bloatware
Ps when can i expect 6.0 update

If you are rooted right now you will not be able to get ota updates. The only way to update is to go through odin and update or flash a rom with the newest update or unroot your device and then update.
I'd like to answer your second question but I would like some clarification on the question.
And the update to 6.0 could be from a couple of weeks to a couple of months or even longer. It depends on you carrier and samsung of course.
The phone is the international variant 920c dual sim
I have not rooted yet but will love to do it.
If marshmalow is near them i will wait
No rooted phones of Samsung will receive OTA updates. Unroot by flashing the stock rom with ODIN and look for OTA. Or else, download latest stock firmware from samobile or similar websites and update with ODIN. Then re-root if you want.

OTA Update Option Missing in settings

Hi,
I've just bought another Z2 pro and have been trying to update it the latest MM version which I believe is 2.3.044 but can not find the update option in the settings.
It is still on stock with with locked bootloader.I want to update before unlocking the bootloader then on to Lineage 13.
The current ROM version is 2.1.120 with November Security patch.
Edit:
I used the SD update method but it half bricked the phone.
Then used the QPST/QFIL one.Flashed the 2.1 stock rom.Once rebooted the Update option was there. Without the need for VPN it OTA updated to 2.3...
Big thanks to this guy.

Hello
I just bought the z2 Pro and same issue, no update in the settings. I followed your steps but wondering. Is the 2.1 you downloaded international? Do you have Google apps in it? I don't want to root, just want an updatable official international rom...
Thanks!
As far as I know non of "store"multilanguage roms have an update option. In order to get it you have to flash stock (1.9) one and follows OTAs from there.

Can't install OTA updates after flashing stock image

My phone was previously rooted with magisk. I did a complete uninstall of magisk and then fully wiped my phone and installed the stock image. I've tried this multiple times now. After my phone gets set up, I try to download the OTA updates, and it will just say the update failed. Is there something else I am missing here? What is causing me to be unable to update?
Back when the 8.1 update was offered OTA I had a similar problem. For whatever reason OPW28.1 (OPW28.46-13) failed every time. I had to wait for the flashable firmware to become available and then flash it. After that I took all OTAs just fine up to the current version (Jun 2018). If you are willing to wipe your phone you can try to flash the latest firmware instead of trying OTAs.
Latest one is OPW28.3 (OPW28.46-21) 8.1.0 w/ June 2018 security patch:
Moto X4 Retail https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528054494
Moto X4 Amazon edition https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528062525
Moto X4 Android One https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528054493
Knowledge of ADB and fastboot is required.

Thanks, I was actually trying something similar when you posted.
I had previously been flashing OPWS27.57-25-6-10 which is 8.0, and it would fail to update every time.
I decided to try a different stock image, and I found an 8.1 image linked from this thread.
I flashed it, and tried ota update again. I initially got an error that the update failed, but I tried again, and it actually worked! So I am up to date on the July patch now!
