My phone is ...
- unlocked through HTC
- flash the recovery
- rooted
- HBOOT 2.0 / 2.3.5
As I cannot install the OTA successfully, I tried ...
- flash the recovery (come with the OTA file) <- still cannot install OTA

As I am new to this, anythings I can do to solve this Please let me know. Much thanks!

What is the version number of the OTA? What is the version of the ROM do you currently have installed?

How do you flash the stock recovery back and where did the recovery image come from?

I guess I had
The recovery image came from the 3.11 OTA package
I replaced the "recovery.xxx" file in the PXx32Xx.ZIP(cant rmb the name) with the one extracted from 3.11 OTA

Ok, so you modified a PG32IMG.zip file and replaced the recovery.img file right?
Then you copied that file to our SD card and booted into HBOOT and that ran OK?
Where did the PG32IMG.zip file come from originally and what recovery image was in it?
I think you need to download the 3.09.708.2 RUU and use the recovery image from the ROM.zip file. You will need to unlock your bootloader again and then I would try flashing the recovery.img directly in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then relock the bootloader and try installing the OTA again.

Another thought. While you were rooted, did you delete any apps from the ROM? If so that is another reason why the OTA would show progress and then just stop.
If extracting the recovery.img from the RUU doesn't work, you will have to reinstall the RUU to go back to a complete stock ROM and then the OTA will install,

If you still have the unlock bin file, you can use it again.

Luckily I didn't remove any apps from the ROM (I tried but I cannot, weird)...
hope that I don't need to reinstall the RUU
Thanks!
Where did you buy your phone? You should run proper RUU (according to phone's region) then you'll be stock and able to receive any OTA you might be prompted.

i bought it from my service provider and didn't flash any other ROM before, only the recovery, so I think its ok?
You gonna need stock recovery to be able to receive OTA. So you better saying which country is it of your service provider to get proper stock recovery from RUU.

Hello,
I currently have the Wind Mobile M7 5.0 (7.17.1500.8) Lollipop update waiting for me and I'm trying to find the correct stock recovery so that the update will successfully install. I'm running into red triangles so far. My current software is 4.4.2 (5.11.1500.8). Details of my phone are that it's currently S-Off, CID-Globa001, and Radio-4A.20.3263.16.
Can someone point me to the right stock recovery image?
Thanks,

take the one out of the update, download the update to your phone, select install later, plug your phone into the computer and copy the OTA to your computer, its just a zip file, its in the internal storage/downloads folder, open it with WinRAR, 7 zip, winzip, whatever it is you use, inside there you will see another zip called firmware.zip, open that and pull out recovery.img, flash it with fastboot then try and update again.

Hellos guys,
I am trying to find the stock recovery for T-mobile US 6.10.531.10 (NOT 6.10.531.9) . Does anybody has it or point me on the right direction? I want to update my phone through OTA so I can get lollipop however I cannot find the stock recovery.
I am S-On all stock except for the recovery, I had TWRP so I can make backups. Now I want to install back the stock recovery so i can upgrade but I don't seem to find it anywhere. I managed to find the RUU but the recovery image is not inside the "rom.zip" on my Temp folder when I run it. These are the only files that it shows:
android-info.txt
dzdata_16g.hdr
dzdata_32g.hdr
dzdata_64g.hdr
tp_HMX852XD.img
boot_signed.img
dzdata_16.img
dzdata_32.img
dzdata_64.img
Am I missing something? Please help. I have tried to find it the whole day with no luck.
Also see the the screenshot.

just run the Lollipop RUU, same as the OTA but its the full thing rather than an OTA: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-t-mobile/news/ follow the manual update instructions, download is at the bottom.
edit: it will wipe your phone, so backup anything you want to keep first.

Seanie, thank you for your reply. I need the stock recovery because precisely I was trying to avoid wiping my phone. I am just a very small step away to be able to update without wiping, I just can't find this stock recovery. Why is it that the recovery.img it is not inside the rom.zip RUU? Am I missing something?
Currently I flashed the stock recovery 6.10.5310.9 and i tried to install the OTA but when it gets to the recovery it looks like it starts installing moving the green line a little bit but soon after I get a red triangle and stops, which I am assuming it is because i do not have the proper recovery.
Any help so i do not need to wipe will be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

ok, you cant take it out of the RUU.zip as its an encrypted RUU, so take it out of the OTA.
download the OTA as normal, but select install later, then plug your phone into the computer and copy the OTA.zip to your computer from your phone, its in the internal storage, downloads folder, its just a zip file, so once its on your computer, open it with WinRAR or whatever you use to open zip files and in there you will see firmware.zip, open that too and take out recovery.img, flash it like any other recovery, then reboot and try and update again.
If the OTA then fails again, it will be down to modified system files or root, you will have no choice but to backup and use the full RUU.

oh I see. Thank you very much...quick question though: I am currently on version 6.10.513.10 the OTA is to upgrade to version 7.18.513.2, if i extract the recovery from this OTA i will be flashing the 7.18. recovery, isn't? Don't I need the recovery from 6.10 in order to be able to upgrade? If so, this is why i was looking also for the 6.10.513.10 OTA but I cannot find it.
Thank you again!

the OTA will check to see if you have 6.10.513.10 or 7.18.513.2 recovery, cant be anything earlier than those 2, current or previous, recovery update by the OTA will just be skipped.

I see! Great news! Good to know. So the OTA can be install with a newer stock recovery (matching the OTA I presume).
I am currently at work without my cell phone but I will try this, as soon as I get back home and post the results.
One last thing, to flash the stock recovery is as simple as "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (or whatever the recovery file .img name is), correct?
I do not need to lock the bootloader in order to upgrade using the OTA as long as everything else is still stock. ...I do have root though, but I also read that this shouldn't be a problem either, correct?
Thank you sooo much!

No need to lock the bootloader for an ota, root might be a problem as it modifies system files, just give it a go, and yes, the flash of the recovery is the same as any other recovery file.

Seanie, all went as expected! It worked. I was able to extract the recovery.img file from the firmware.zip inside the 7.18 OTA zip file that was downloaded to the internal storage. Then proceed to flash it as any other recovery with fastboot. Afer that, the OTA update installed with o problem. Having root did not mattered. I did have to root it again though.
Thank you so much for your support!!! :good:
Worked for me as well, thank you.
Hello, I flashed LOS with my m7 international version. Sadly, Lineage dropped the support. I then flashed back to stock ROM via twrp. However, the stock ROM always prompt me to install the OTA update and I couldn't because I replaced the stock recovery with twrp.
So, my question is can I just revert twrp back to stock recovery with the ROM being untouched. Or do I need to do so like this 100%?
Thanks.
If you can find the correct version of the stock recovery for your current firmware you can fastboot flash that.

How can I find the stock recovery? My version is: 7.18.708.21
However, I cannot find it on google.com.
please help.
When I typed "HTC One M7 stock recovery" into Google the first result I got was this XDA thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545227, so that's where I'd start looking.
As far as I can tell 7.18.708.21 is a HTC Asia HK software version. That thread has a recovery image for 7.18.708.2. I couldn't tell you whether the recovery changed at all between that and 7.18.708.21, so it's possible that that file will do what you want, but I cannot make any promises.
Otherwise you just have to try an RUU, as that guide you linked describes.
Yeah, I also got 7.18.708.2. However, I would not take the risk unless I found the right one. Thanks though.

Download your ota update
Select "install later"
Connect your phone to your compter and copy the ota zip file from the download folder to your desktop.
Use winrar to open the ota zip file and extract firmware.zip from it
Use winrar to open firmware.zip and extract the recovery.img file.
Thats the recovery you need, flash it with fastboot then reboot phone and install the post poned ota
If the ota fails to install, youll have to flash a ruu
The only .zip I can find already has a modified boot.img that is rooted. I'm looking for a bone stock one so that I can apply the H21120x OTA via TWRP. (I guess I Could just write out the boot.img update from the updater-script).
Anyone have a copy of this from their device or a way to get it from a KDZ?

I'd also recommend not doing it the way I did (modifying the update.zip and flashing stock boot.img) it seems to have broken Bluetooth.
