So. My device has android 4.3 now, and I have rooted and unlocked it (I used the guide from HTCOneRoot.com).
I want to install the 4.4 official OTA, but am not able to. It just boots to TWRP if I try when I get the notification.
How do I go about this? Do I need to unroot the phone and reset it to stock? Or is there another way?
I'm kinda new to this world, so it's not an easy task for me.
I'm using the international non-carrier version, if that means something(?)
Also, I've attached a pic of my bootloader.
I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks.
You need stock recovery instead of TWRP

Would you care to elaborate, on how to?

You need to hunt the stock recovery based on your fastboot getvar main output and flash using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sent from my mobile device
As Sahilzz siad you need to flash the stock recovery.....using a stock recovery image of the stock rom you are using.
Its a very similar process to flash TWRP recovery into your phone....just that this time its stock recovery..
Find the stock recovery for your version of One....on google.
Hope that explains it.
Thanks for the kinda replies guys.

if your ROM is stock, you only need stock recovery, not complete ruu, so
here you go: http://d-h.st/WJ8
make sure MD5 Sum: 75ced0d5599d4efca900293966a2ff34 is correct, i sometimes have problems downloading from there, if it's not correct then the download is corrupt.
to flash it, go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery stock_3.62.401.1.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
now take the OTA, should install fine if ROM is stock.

I am S OFF, UNLOCKED.
When I boot into bootloader and into fastbootmode, as soon as i connect the cable to my phone, the fastboot USB mode freezez... No keys work that time...I have to press and hold power button for a few seconds in order to reboot the phone. This happen always with me.
I wanted to backup my Stock recovery by booting into custom recovery using this command fastboot boot name_of_your_custom_recovery.img . It sends the recovery and everything is okay on the PC, but nothing happens on the phone.
But I did flash the unlock.bin via fastboot, that way it works....I am not getting what the problem is.
I need to backup my STOCK RECOVERY (HTC CID_J15) before flashing CWM.
ANy help would be appreciated.

Not sure about your fastboot issue, but just an FYI if you have upgraded your firmware and now have hboot 1.54 you can no longer use the command
Code:
fastboot boot name_of_your_custom_recovery.img
to boot to a non installed recovery. That can only be done with the older 1.44 hboot.
Since you have s-off, if you can get fastboot working, you should be able to flash hboot 1.44 if you the need the ability to boot a non installed recovery.

Could go a few different routes. First there are tons of users who posted the stock recovery on XDA and other sites. Also it could be pulled from the RUU if you device has one or one of the posted nandroid backups. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860)
This site has the original retail dump which has the stock recovery:
http://www.modaco.com/topic/361407-htc-one-retail-release-dump/
You have s-off, so you can downgrade back to hboot 1.44 and boot a custom recovery. Just flash the stock 1.44 hboot from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
When finished you can leave hboot 1.44 or flash back up to 1.54.
Lastly if you have root you can look around (Will have to search) for how to pull the recovery.img like a system dump.
Best of luck.

No there are differences for some of the different models and carriers. You will have to match your CID to one of the nandroids or find the proper RUU.
The stock recovery was updated in 2.24 I think, but I am not positive since I didn't ever use it.
It will only take a few minutes to flash the hboot to 1.44 so that you can boot a recovery and take a backup for yourself. I would recommend that method.

Um, not sure where your getting that but just flashing stock hboots will not brick your phone. I have switched my hboot around between like 4 different versions 10+ times to test some things after the firmware upgrades.
Even the modified one are no problem.
Oh well. Good luck.
I know, two very bad mistakes. I was excited. First thing I did wrong was install a GE kernel when I should have installed a sense one..then I used fast boot to write TWRP to my boot image by accident instead of recovery. I tried to update RUU using fastboot, but I keep getting errors. I cant mount my internal storage, can't side load either.
Whenever I reboot, I boot into TWRP instead of system now. I probably have to restore, but not being able to RUU or side load, I dont know what to do. Please help!

Yes. You also should flash stock recovery before you flash the RUU, just to make sure everything goes right.

The RUU flashes the stock recovery so you don't need this. You don't even need the boot.img if you're going to flash an RUU. Just connect the phone in fastboot mode and then run the RUU. So long as you're S-OFF it should run fine
Your phone doesn't need a kernel to boot to recovery or fastboot, recovery has its own kernel built in... Just goto fastboot and flash a new boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hboot_signedbyaa.img isn't a boot.img it's a hboot

Hi mate, in your signature I red OS 2.24.4018 / HBoot 1.54.0000 and now "tadaaaa" S-OFF and so on.
How did you do that? I've damaged my brain and gnawn down my nails but nothing works ....
Have you installed the 1.54.0000 on top of the 1.44.0000 (unlocked + S-OFF) and your HBOOT is still unlocked and S-OFF?
Or are u using the black&beauty ONE?
Then ou are a lucky man I guess.
God bless you.
I was S-OFF on 1.44 and then did the OTA so I kept S-OFF - sorry to get your hopes up!

On hboot 1.44 it was, but you're likely on a higher version already, so what you can do is flash recovery, root, and reflash stock recovery. That way you'll still get OTAs once you relock your bootloader (assuming that you're s-on, otherwise no need to relock)

you can flash your stock recovery the same way you flash a custom recovery. The only thing you need is to find the stock recovery you need. Check what is your main-ver # and download the ruu.zip or ota.zip that match your main-ver and extract the zip to find the recovery.zip file. Then move it to your adb/fastboot folder and open a cmd prompt from that folder.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.zip
fastboot reboot
you can also copy/paste the output of this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
minus EMEI and SN and maybe we'll be able to link you the stock recovery you'll need to flash after you have rooted your device.

Hi guys i got an htc one in placw of my samsung grand
I managed to unlock the bootloader using cmd and tried flashing a recovery. However after the flash when i try booting into recovery mode from bootloader, it first gives the entering recovery screen but then screen blacks out and then it reboots as normal.
Now htc just got a lollipop update and i want to update, but when it enters recovery, it blacks out and then reboots as normal due to the fail recovery
Before i tried flashing each and every reocvery and the same happened... Then i just left it at a version of cwm ( didnt work also) .
Now shall i flash stock recovery? What if that dosent work? Is there any way to do it without a pc or any other computer?

Did you use the correct version of the recovery you flashed? I mean are you sure it wasn't a Sprint or Verizon recovery?
Secondly did you fastboot erase cache after flashing recovery?. This is the no.1 reason for recovery bootloop. Flashing recovery should be done like so.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery from the bootloader for the first time load.

To find your firmware version it's best to use command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
this will show you a list of your devices version information.
You can post the list here if you need help but please remove your imei and serial number before posting for your own security.
There are 3 models of HTC One.
Sprint = m7_wls Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
Verizion = m7_vzw Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7vzw
International = m7_ul or m7_u Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
There are also more model numbers for dual sim variants.
You must have the correct version of recovery depending on your model. The getvar info would be very helpful for me to make a recommendation :good:
