So I had my HTC One rooted and flashed viper rom. I relocked the bootloader and flashed back to stock rom 1.31.651.2 and everything went smoothly. I went to system updates and it found the 4.3 update and downloaded it. When It gave me the option I clicked install now and the phone rebooted, but into the HTC screen with the development warning and then straight into bootloader and did nothing after that. I rebooted and tried install now again and the same thing happened. What am I doing wrong? Why wont the 4.3 install?
I would suggest getting S-OFF before taking the OTA.
BTW it's NEVER a good idea to take an OTA
I would assume there's already an odex and deodex version of stock 4.3 floating around somewhere. That's usually the first things devs release when it comes to OTAs.

If you are taking an ota on a stock rooted Rom you need to.flash the stock recovery. It will not work if you still have custom recovery on your phone.

Sure it is, I took it knowing I had S-Off and that the OTA wouldnt reenable the security flag. That's all you need to do is be S-Off to ensure you can downgrade if need be.

Awesome. That worked. It wouldn't install the first 2 times, it pretty much just went to installer, did nothing, and then factory reset itself, but the third time was a charm and it installed fine. Thanks so much for your help!! Greatly appreciate it.

I've searched and searched and can't find this topic so here goes...
I have the DE and it is rooted. I'd like to install the OTA as I'm still running stock otherwise. Do I have to unroot to get it to install? For fun I tried loading it with CWM and that just locked it up.
Thoughts or threads I've missed?
im curious too :/ the only way i could update was unrooting and for that the only way i could do so, was restoring a backup from CWM, i couldnt falsha RUU or ZIP :/
would be great if some one help us to find out how to unroot (an easier way) or apply OTA even rooted (guess this is not possible :/)

As far as I know, OTA should work fine if you have ONLY rooted and NOT installed any custom recovery. So I believe restoring stock recovery could make your phone receive the OTA. I could be wrong too.

Hmmm then I'm a bit confused, I believe I have stock recovery installed, I haven't done anything other than backup and root. I just tried running the update from the prompt and it sends me to CWM. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what stock recovery is?

D'oh! My bad.
In attempt to get the stock recovery back I've tried the RUU that should be for the 64GB DE edition but it keeps throwing an error. Is Brightstar US WWE RUU 3.4.10 v4.1 1.29.1540.3 the wrong one?

First things first is your phone the developer edition? Sorry to ask a silly question just want to make sure you are not trying to flash the wrong firmware to your phone.
You can find the stock recovery under the development thread and you can flash this with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (in fastboot mode of course)
for a DE, you have to lock its bootloader and then using RUU to get it back to stock, or just fastboot flash the stock recoery image to override your custom recovery, both are working to update OTA according to my test.

I posted this in another section a couple days ago on how I did the OTA with my DE.
Now you do have to push a stock recovery to get it working but then after you load the OTA you can go back and push TWRP or CWM. I then reflashed supersu but not sure if I needed to or not.
You don't need to lock the bootloader on the DE edition.

relocking bootloader is needed for the RUU way, for reflashing stock recovery way, it is not necessary.

I don't understand why you'd have to lock a bootloader for a device that came with it unlocked from the factory? Even the ruu from HTC for the DE requires you to lock the bootloader?

Actually I don't understand either, but it is true, I failed several times to use RUU gettting back stock before re-locking my DE, I guess HTC developer does not apply any special code for the DE RUU program, you can have a try if you have a chance to do so.
Dang I already relocated and RUU'd it... Oh well next time.
Thanks though!!

Hello everyone.
I have had my Sprint HTC One for about a month now. I rooted it right after getting it. A few days ago, it said that there was an update. I downloaded the update, then when it rebooted to load the update, my phone automatically went into recovery. When I went to downloads to install the update, it failed. Should I unroot the phone to accept the update or is there a way to do it rooted?
Thanks
To my understanding you shouldn't take OTAs if you're rooted. Best thing to do is download a Rom with the latest update.

^^^ this NEVER take an OTA wait for the devs to get it sorted for us usually 1-2 days
If you MUST take the OTA you have to

then unlock flash twrp and superuser again

Stock recovery is important (or a dev-modified zip), but unless there's something different about Nexus devices, I've never heard of having to re-lock your bootloader to take an OTA.

Hi guys...
So I've been searching for a fix for my google play edition htc one... I'm currently on stock 4.2.2, I unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM, rooted the device, installed a custom kernel. Everything was perfectly fine until I wanted to install 4.3 on my phone. I never flashed anything but the kernel to this phone. (since I knew cm10.2 would need time to get massaged) I am having problem flashing any rom onto my phone.
I got the OTA, I tried installing that, and in the middle of the install, the android icon goes from the blue swirl to the android lying down dead.
I tried uninstalling the kernel... no good. I reflashed the stock 4.2.2 recovery, no luck. I tried to RUU the phone (after relocking the device), and it fails with the message (remote: 12 signature verify fail). I get the same error w/ the 4.2.2 and 4.3 RUU... (both from the conversion to google edition thread)
I gave up on going w/ stock after trying several times. I downloaded the cm10.2 official nightly for the m7ul, transferred the zip file, and installed it thru CWM but I get the "Status 7" error that says "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == m7 II etc. etc. I checked my build.prop and my ro.product.device is set to m7.... just like how it is supposed to be....
Is there anything I'm doing wrong here? Do you guys have any idea why I am unable to flash anything?? Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Install twrp or cwm again. Install nammit94's stock 4.2.2 rom. Put stock recovery back. Software update should install 4.3 then. The ruu won't work to restore you because it's a user made unsigned package and only works on s-off devices. Just installing stock kernel probably failed because there are non stock modules left over in /system nammit94's rom should set things right

I think you can go back to stock, but read first. There are posts for how to do it. I think your mistake was you tried to flash an OTA with a custom recovery, doesn't work..ll
There is no ruu for an s-on htc one Google edition. You have to be very careful. Make a nandroid.

a stock backup + stock recovery, which is flashable should be fine.
I have a backup of post-rooting stock and I tried using that with the ota with stock recovery... But that didn't work.. I guess I should've backed up prior to rooting? Not sure if it makes a difference... Is there an easy way to unroot other than ruu?

Glad to help. Keep in mind that the root method generally doesn't change, but the S-off method may. So far, looks like Firewater works for the original software version that came on the phone, as well as the OTA.

Why would they take it out of the box, much less run an update on it?
We'd be fighting.
Can I ask you fellas a question. I'm still running stock but I'm rooted and s-off. I keep getting the system update and I want to accept the update because it adds the extreme power saver to my Sprint M8. If I do exactly how do reroot. I know I'll stay S-off. Thanks in advance.

I think Captain Throwback has a stock rooted ROM based off the latest OTA. I would flash that, instead. Too much trouble if you choose the other route.

Flash the rom along with the firmware.
But if you wanted to flash the update from sprint it's not that hard. You would need Sprints stock recovery flashed on your device (it's in one of Captains threads) and your software would need to have all of the files the OTA wants to update since it fails if it doesn't find all the files it is changing. Other than that take the update, let it finish and boot up, and then flash twrp (or cwm), flash SU, and you're back to rooted.

Shouldn't matter if you took the update
HTC Dev will unlock your bootloader unless Sprint blocked it like what happened to Verizon...they blocked folks from using HTC Dev.
I took the update a couple days ago, and just rooted last night. Htcdev worked fine for me. Followed this video:

Until you have the stock recovery ...you can install the update when it is pushed
As you've stated that you phone is rooted then you might've flashed TWRP or CWM to do it so
flash back the stock recovery of your model and you are good to go...

You need the stock recovery that match your fw version. I.e if you are on 3.23.666.1 then you need the recovery from this version.
Here is a collection of stock recovery. If you can't find yours, you can extract the recovery.img from the previous ota. The recovery packed in the upcoming ota update might also work.
my software number now says 4.19.666.8. im as up to date as i can be through bell so if i flash an old recovery will it cause problems? or will i just get an OTA update to bring it back to the latest version

you'll probably have to restore these app if you want to update. The ota updater script md5 check these apps. If they are not on your phone, the ota installation will probably fail because of MD5 mismatch.
See this post from arhd if you want more details
Ota update will not apply until and unless you have pure stock rom.
e.g. If your phone is pure stock you unlock its bootloader it will remove some apps which are installed in preload. Now if you relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery the ota update will not be applied as during flashing ota update check for these apps whether they are installed in preload or not. For ota updates to applied succesfully you need to run RUU of your model then flash ota.

alright i tried this any couldnt get it to work. i flashed the recovery then rebooted phone. it asked to do the 4.19.666.8 update then rebooted, went to recovery but it was still TWRP recovery and not stock. so before getting to far involved i reflashed the nandroid i made this morning.
the whole not being able to s-off with hboot 1.56 is a bit of a pain. ive tried rumrunner and firewater with no luck.

Then you didn't flash stock recovery... Either the recovery you flashed was not stock, or you didn't flash it right.
Now that I think about it after the flash it didn't do anything so I had to hold the power for 10 seconds. After that I panicked and just reverted back to my nandroid from that morning.
