So, I rooted my developer edition M7 and then reflashed the stock recovery so that I could install the OTA 4.3 update. Everything went fine until the update started installing. Now it's been installing for the past hour with no progress in the progress bar.
Can anyone please help me? does it usually take an hour? Is there a way to stop the installation without bricking it?
Any advice is desperately needed!
Do you have the stock rom and stock kernel (boot.img)?
And your bootloader is relocked/locked?
Yes, i believe so. In my efforts to get rid of cwm recovery, I used the stock nandroid for the developer edition from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248997&page=5 though it didn't get rid of the cwm recovery so I flashed the stock recovery from ARHD.
Can I reboot the phone by holding down the power button and start over?

Also, my bootloader is currently unlocked.
Well, I broke down and did a hard reset of the phone. It froze once more during the installation process, but ultimately concluded. However, it did not update to 4.3, but instead stayed with 4.1.2. I guess I'm just grateful that the phone is still working.
Anyway, i'll just have to research more.
@ThickG
You have to flash the stock recovery of 1.29.1540.3 version for get the ota and install it
So, i will search it for you!

I have twrp installed, I had cmw and a nandroid backup of 4.2.2
Restored it to the nandroid. Phone asks for install, reboot and it boots to recovery.
Is there a way to get ota without it kicking into cmw.
I tried twrp as well and it just reboots into that.
I dont want it to show.
Im trying to sell the phone and it will not go back to stock. So this is my only option.
I have a hboot 1.54, i do not have s off, but i have an unlocked bootloader and i have root.

I'm currently in the same boat as yourself. To make use of OTA updates your phone needs to be:
1. Running a stock unrooted ROM
2. Running the stock bootloader
Seeing as you don't have S-OFF your only option will most likely be using a RUU if you can find one for your carrier. If not you might be lucky with a stock Nandroid but older backups won't work as the older touchscreen drivers aren't compatible sadly.
Tbh custom ROMs will be updated a lot faster than pretty much any stock ROM. If you need to return to stock for whatever reason your best bet would be to wait for a leaked RUU or a new Hboot exploit I think.
Edit: If you need the device to be on the latest stock ROM for selling you could try and find the latest stock ROM for your device/carrier and just flash that with TWRP. But TWRP will always be on the device until you can do one of the things I said above.

Stock recovery is required for ota to work
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No need for RUUs! After flashing your nandroid, fastboot flash stockRecovery.img. Check mike1986's stock Sense ROM for a link to the stock recovery if you don't have it in your nandroid. Now you should be able to apply the OTA. Then flash CWM/TWRP and your custom ROM back.
Thanks i found a stock recovery flashed that and the ota updates are working now. Im selling the phone and going back to the iphone (let the bashing commense).
Not gonna install twrp again, leaving it as is so who ever buys it can do all that later if they wish or enjoy all stock goodness
pretty self explanatory. I used safestrap, unistalled it, when i try to get to the stock recovery i pick it from the fastboot menu using the up vol key and then the phone just boots like normal, never goes to the recovery. any ideas would be hugely appreciated.

Are you still rooted? After rooting with any of jcase's methods (i don't know about the 4.4 one), rebooting to recovery just launches the rom without write protect. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you'd have to flash back to stock to recover stock recovery.
Why exactly do you want stock recovery back? Maybe we can work around it to get the results you want.
Also, you should post things like this in the Q&A forum.

well im worse off now. wiped my system. no rom. no recovery. think im royally screwed.
Yup, safestrap replaces your recovery, and since you nixed safestrap, your phone has nothing to fall back to. You're phone will be fine, I did the same thing when I unrooted and tried to install the 4.4 update. You just need to flash the stock recovery files in RSDLite. Will you loose your data? Sure (or you can save what you want on your computer), but your phone will be fine. Let me know if you get messed up trying to do this.
installed recovery, got into recovery went to reboot system now I have lg logo briefly and a blank screen and the notification light fades between blue and green? what have I done and can anyone point me in the direction to fix this
(How do i get in recovery mode? Factory reset or not?)
scratch that was able to get into recovery but I am unable to figure out how to get back to stock?
I can also get into download mode.
all I wanted was rooted stock with recovery, again any ideas how to get back to stock?

If download mode is working, follow the stock recovery guide in the general section and start over again.
will start to look at that thank you,
was originally on 4.2.2 if that makes any difference routed from the device with towel root installed superuser everything was fine until I flashed recovery,
any chance stock recovery would do anything and if so how do I get into stock recovery

If you've correctly flashed a custom recovery, then no stock recovery....
On stock 4.2.2 rooted and perfectly happy for now, last time i tried to flash recovery i bricked the phone and don't want to deal with that again if i can help it. Do i need to flash a custom recovery or can i get by with just stock for now?
What to do about OTA? Is root keeper an option and just accept the updates as they come?

You don't need a recovery unless you want to back up your rom or install other ones.
As for the OTA, people were reporting root stuck when installing 24A, as long as you have stock recovery it should install ok. Worst case is you need to root it again.
it all depends what you want to do bc i had my phone rooted without a custom recovery and it worked just fine using like xposed but if you want to flash a rom or do nandroids then you need a custom recovery. I also took an OTA like a dumbass and it gave me a boot loop with a certification error and it took me a month to fix it so a) plz don't take an OTA and b) get a custom recovery if you want to just be safe, i would if i were you.
Thnx, will try auto rec again last time. What to do after install? Last time it installed, it opened and that was it, couldn't get it to reboot, do l need to do a back up first? What are the steps immediately after install?
Hi,
Looking for some help from you guys if possible. I have have been flashing Android HD Roms by Mike1986 for some time now on my HTC One (M7). Last updated to HD-One_91.1 to upgrade to Lollipop. Experienced very poor battery performance so looked to flash back to an earlier Kitkat version. Instead of flashing a previous one, I thought i'd give the Google 6.1_GE a go and see what that was like.
Big problems. Phone kept getting stuck in boot loop - so eventually i decided to wipe the phone and start again. Now when I switch phone on It boots into the start screen for Goggle edition then reboots constantly.
As I wiped the patition, I do not have the option to reinstall even the Lolipop ROM.
My phone wont stay on long enough to copy another ROm over. so Im stuck with a pjone that keeps switiching off before I can do anything with it.
I use TWRP recovery but when i try Factory reset etc, same problem occurs.
How can I get another compatible ROM onto the phone or am I stuck with a knackered phone?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

Your phone must be s-off to use this rom like said in the OP. Also said that your phone WILL bootloop if you flash it without having s-off.
Android Revolution HD 6.1
Google Edition
You need S-OFF, otherwise you'll experience boot-loop!
You can't use ART with deodexed custom ROM
You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery!

Boot in recovery (twrp), push a rom to your phone using adb push, adb sideload or MTP (MTP only available on newer twrp versions) and then flash the rom.
