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

Extract it from an official RUU/ROM.zip file and then flash it in FASTBOOT USB mode using the following command:
fastboot flash recovery [path to 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.

[Q] How do you update OTA with Team Win Recovery?

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.

Hey I tried installing a 4.4 rom, got a boot loop recovery keeps crashing and I can get into fastboot now.
The computer is recognizing the phone and I can use fastboot to flash a new recovery but CWM and TWRP recoveries continue to crash on reboot... What can I do?

S-On or s-off ?
either way your best bet is an RUU. the GPE RUU if your s-off or the proper carrier/region RUU if your s-on.

Thank you for the reply, I believe it is s-On the top of the bootloader screen shows tampered & unlocked..

if it doesn't say s-off and you don't remember doing S-off then you're s-on.
What is your CID? you'll need to track down an RUU that matches. Also since your s-on you can only go up in versions, not down so you have to match the mainver.

Ok so I used fastboot to flash a bunch of different recoveries the only recoveries that will work are the CWM Sprint and TWRP sprint recoveries.. I can get into the recovery without it crashing but I am stuck there... I have tried to adb push a rom to the phone, that worked then the install failed.. any suggestions?

What hboot do you have
1. Download a fresh copy of the latest twrp 2.6.3.3 from here ------> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
2. Throw that recovery image into your fastboot folder and rename it twrp
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Sometimes that erase cache command does the trick

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.

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/):

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.

I flashed stock recovery but if the phone won't boot up, how can I "(extract the zip and copy the folder to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/):"???

If you install the stock ROM than which version did you install?
OR
If you have restored than did you restore the stock recovery?
