[Q] How do you update OTA with Team Win Recovery? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I downloaded the 4.3 update OTA and when I try to install it, the phone boots into TWRP. I don't know where the OTA update saves.
Does anyone know where I can find the file or how to not restart into TWRP when trying to do the update?
Thanks

Which file you've donwloaded?
Are you using the stock rom with only root and you get the notification of the ota?

Yes I am rooted on my stock ROM. I received the notification and have downloaded the file.
Found the file under downloads, however it won't install with TWR....

This is normal.
You must have the stock recovery and a bootloader locked/relocked for install OTA...

Ah man....
wanna direct me in the right direction on how to do all that? :laugh:

Hi @Guich, couldn't he just pull the firmware package from the zip file and flash it in fastboot RUU mode, I was wondering, cause I may need to this for a friend, cause he can't get S-Off atm.

need to know your version, post a "fastboot getvar all" but remove IMEI and serial number before posting.

The firmware will upgrade the hboot etc, not the OS
And, however, in s-on you can flash only the zip signed by HTC.

I just flashed the stock recovery and installed the OTA, left the bootloader unlocked. Then flashed TWRP and re rooted. Locked bootloader was fine.

To be able to apply an OTA, unless I'm mistaken, you need three prerequisites:
1- go back to "stock rom"
2- go back to "stock recovery"
3- lock/relock your bootloader
then you will be able to apply the OTA successfully. Using a "custom recovery" (TWRP or CWM) will not allow the OTA to install.
from you're initial post, it looks like you are already on "stock rom" but with "custom recovery" (TWRP). you need to replace TWRP with "stock recovery" (note that this will wipe your internal storage)
in order to find out which recovery is stock for you, running a "fastboot getvar all" (removing IMEI and s/n before posting pls) will show which firmware version you are on, so that we can point you to the correct "stock recovery"
the command is run when your phone is in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, connected to your PC, and then from your PC you type something like "C:\ADB\fastboot getvar all" depending where you saved the adb sdk.

Hi, how do you flash stock recovery?
If I do that, would I lose all of my information on the phone?

I think i read your post regarding the same yesterday.
you did not that you have a custom recovery installed...
in this case you will not be able to flash the ruu as you are required to be stock with s-on
head over to arhd thread to get the closest experience to the stock rom.
download the arhd rom, flash in recovery

But I remember that I've did this before and reinstalled a stock ROM using RUU exe file, can't I do this now?
Does WWE ROM have Arabic language?
I am very depressed because of this problem, I want to have official HTC ICS ROM.

In order to install the ICS OTA after it has been downloaded, you will need to restore the stock HTC recovery and then relock your bootloader.

thanks tpbklake, i could relock the bootloader but I don't know how to have the HTC Recovery back instead of the current one, any guide to do this?
am quoting tpbklake here, listen to him, he's the best around here
Grab a RUU and extract the recovery.img file from the ROM.zip. Then flash the recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode using
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Did you already relock the bootloader? You need to flash the stock recovery first, then relock the bootloader.
Did you extract the recovery.img file from the PG32IMG.zip file or are you just trying to have the bootloader flash the PG32IMG.zip?
The signature checking failure leads me to believe that the bootloader is locked/relocked.

How did you end up flashing the recovery? Did you use the PG32IMG.zip and copy it to your sd card or did you extract the recovery.img file and manually flash it?
If you used the PG32IMG.zip file then that probably changed the mainver value and that's why the OTA is not running.
Well guess what, my device is now crashed !, it is stock at the green HTC logo, I can not access anything except for the bootloader !.
i've installed the Android Revolution HD but it didn't work as well, my device is now in mess.

You never did answer my question about how you flashed the HTC stock recovery.
Anyway, If you unlocked your bootloader and reinstalled a custom Recovery and then attempted to install ARHD, did you manually extract and flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT USB mode?
That may be all you need to do to get the phone booted.

no, you have to flash it using fastboot in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recover>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
sometimes, flashing stock recovery wipes sdcard, so backup everything to PC first!

I'm quite sure you dont need to be locked. If you have a completely stock ROM, you will get the update notification, even on custom recovery, but you will not be able to install it until you go with stock recovery
Are you sure it's out yet for your country/carrier?

T-Mob? I just checked your previous post and you have CID HTC__102 and MID PN0710000, so it's a WWE edition phone, and you are right there is an OTA available: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ota_m7_...-24-401-8_release_338160gxmo5sd9337kadux-zip/
The only reason for it not to show on your "Settings -> About -> Software update" is that your ROM is not stock. what are the details of your ROM. you need to go back to stock rom, and you should receive the OTA

Also tried with ADB Sideload but i get error: closed and if I get to copy stock 4.4 or 4.3 through ADB Sideload it gets to 100% on PC but inmediately appears on TWRP Failed.

Could you please give me a detailed description of the steps I should take? Can I flash the ROM from stock recovery? How do I copy the OTA to the SD-card if PC only recognizes it only by fastboot or adb sideload, and in sideload apparently after copying it when it gets to 100% it says Failed. Thanks
I have the exact same problem. I am going crazy. I am used to Nexus devices and if I get an error as this one, I just flash the factory image. In this case is extremely more complex than that. I had Stock 4.3. Suddenly my device showed to get the OTA, TWRP started to flash it and now I can't use it. I have S-ON. Blueish/Greenish screen every time I turn it on. What would be the steps to flash stock "image" and start all over again? Please help, I've read too much and no answer.

custom recovery (ie CWM or TWRP) won't be able to install the OTA, and you don't really need to copy the OTA to PC.
the reason it's not installing, is that when it reboots to TWRP, it is actually expection "stock recovery", which can complete the process
you flash "stock recovery", using bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of stock recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
and then the OTA will install properly, no need to do it manually.
your "OS-3.07.1700.1", so you need the stock recovery for that, I'm gonna look a litlle later and see if i can find it for you.....

4.4 seems to be having lot's of issues with S-On. Do you have a real GPE or are using a custom ROM, if you're using a custom ROM, then it will NOT work with S-On at this time, so better to go back to 4.3.

I do have a real GPE. So what can I do to restore or get back to 4.3? How can I flash a "factory image"?
Thanks
EDIT: I just flashed the stock recovery but there is nothing I can do in it.
shouldn't need to drop to 4.3 if you have a real GPE
flash CWM.
wipe cache
then restore this nandroid i made of stock 4.4 (extract the zip and copy the folder to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/):
https://mega.co.nz/#!TMlgWLDJ!ZfFlcxcRkebpb3cciULnlTf4GMJfy4grwOLi-Ied3Tg
Then flash this untouched firmware.zip from fastboot:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/am4jx7jbx2niilv/4.4 firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 4.4 firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip 4.4 firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
that should get you to 100% stock and future OTA should work.

my problem is that my phone does not up, just stay in a htc logo. it is root and has a cwm installed.
I need a way to pass cyanogemod to its internal memory or a way to install a rom from the pc.

Hi.
my problem is that my phone does not up, just stay in a htc logo. it is root and has a cwm installed.
I need a way to pass cyanogemod to its internal memory or a way to install a rom from the pc.
Thanks.

your question, isn't very clear, and it's missing "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)... so that we know what device you have.
it's also missing, what you were trying to install, etc.
but in short, to get a ROM to install use either:
1- OTG cable
2- adb push
3- adb sideload
if you're trying to install a 4.4 ROM then CWM may not work, and you'll need to switch to TWRP.

outdated recovery, please post a fastboot getvar all (excluding IMEI and s/n), so we can see what device you're on.

next time just copy/past a fastboot getvar all (excluding IMEI, s/n and in your case MEID)
m7_wls = Sprint?
then get recovery from: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
(verify MD5!!!!)
then install a ROM compatible with Sprint.

I installed the recovery and the rom (cm10.1) by adb push, I have some issues with gsm and cdma but everything is ok and I know the way to flash another rom.
really thank you so much.

[Q] Is it possible to update OTA while rooted?

I'm on android 4.4.2 (stock htc one firmware s-off) unlocked bootloader and rooted. I got on OTA update but when I click install, it reboots and goes into twrp. I'm guessing I cant install the OTA update without relocking bootloader and unrooting?
Or can I just unroot it (without relocking the bootloader) and try again?

You need the stock recovery and stock ROM to run the OTA. You can use this tool to Guru Bootloader Reset Tool to LOCK before the update since you are S-OFF. Then after you update the phone you can UNLOCK it again.

You can get the stock recovery from the OTA. If you were to unzip it on your computer, then find the firmware.zip file and open it. Extract the recovery.img out of it. This is your stock recovery. Place it in the same folder as your ADB & Fastboot files.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash stock recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I don't know for sure if you have to relock your bootloader, I would try it first and see. I know that RUU.exe need it LOCK.

I think the best thing to do is to get S-OFF. This would turn security off and allow you to bypass some of the verification. http://firewater-soff.com/ is the most popular for hboot 1.5X. Once you get S-OFF, then try to flash the stock recovery after you lock your bootloader.

I just flashed the RUU and its back to stock.
You know, I was on 4.2.2 and I got the sense 6 OTA update today. I couldn't install it because bootloader was unlocked. I went through the whole process and returned my phone back to stock.
Currently, I am back on 4.2.2 (with bootloader relocked) but this time it says no updates available. How does that work? Because I checked and my MID /CID hasnt changed

Go to @TeHashX thread [Full Stock Backup] | 5.11.401.10 | Twrp_Backup | Ota | M7_U & M7_UL. He has a link to the OTA which you can download. I would copy it to your /sdcard/download/ file then boot into stock recovery and install it.
