Hi there,
I had and O2 UK HTC One.
I unlocked my HTC One and rooted it to use TWRP.
Lately I was propmted to Update through an OTA to get KitKat but I couldn't automatically update due to TWRP.
I flashed my mobile using a stock ROM and now am running;
Android 4.4
HTC Sense 5.5
Software number 4.06.1540.2
As soon as I flashed this rom I checked for updates and I was prompted to update to the below version,
Software number 4.06.1540.3
Where can I find this OTA to flash it on my HTC?
Is there an easier way to keep up to date with these OTA through TWRP?
Thank you
Mark

You must use stock recovery to flash ota, not twrp. When you are prompted for an ota update, just flash your stock recovery over twrp, go back in your phone, download and apply the ota. Then flash twrp after the update and re-root.

Btw you only had to flash your stock o2 recovery to install the ota, flashing another stock rom wasn't necessary. At least you made a good choice going dev edition.

Thank for the reply... I did not have a stock o2 recovery.
I found one over the internet (...htconeroot.com/htc-one-stock-roms/android-4-4-kitkat-sense-5-5-stock-rom-for-htc-one/)
I currently have this flashed on my mobile but when prompted with an OTA and try to install TWRP comes up. How can I fix that?

So now you are on 4.06.1540.2 so flash the 4.06.1540.2 recovery over twrp

I extracted it from my firmware.zip when I was on 4.06.1540.2

As long as you haven't installed a custom recovery to root your ROM, you should be able to install the OTA. If you have installed ClockworkMod or EXT4 recovery then do not attempt to install the OTA.

ARHD for Sense 3.0
Viruous Affinity for Sense 3.5
I've experienced no forced close or bugs in either ROMS.
I stuck with Viruous Affinity for the Sense 3.5 experience. I think Sense 3.5 is superior to Sense 3.0. Also the fonts in Sense 3.5 are smaller and better scaled, in Sense 3.0 everything look blown up.
In Viruous Affinity you also have a "ultrasmooth rosie" option which does stuff like disable the 3D effect in the HTC widgets but keeps 3D rotation. That option boost the fps in transistions A LOT.

The security warning usually means that the main_version value was incorrect for the OTA you are trying to run. Since the RUU for the OTA is out now, there isn't any reason you need to mess with the OTA any more. You can just go ahead and flash the 3.08.405.3 RUU.
Hello,
I get my new HTC One (Not branded) yesterday, and as all my previous HTC's I want to root it.
I have unlocked it and I'm reasdy to flash a new recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-m7ul.img is this one is good?).
After rooting I want to restore stock recovery so after I can get OTA updates and use OTA root keeper.
Where can I get the stock recovery?
I'have searched htc one thread and I can only find stock recovery for Tmobile...
If anyone can enlight me?

what's your firmware version? you don't need to have 100% stock recovery, just "close enough" for OTAs to work, in case it's not very close, it may not reboot by itself during installation, and you'll have to manually reboot the phone for installation to continue.

Hi All,
I have an ATT m7 that I'm running on GPE 4.4 (build KTR16S) with TWRP and the bulletproof kernel.
I'm getting notifications for the 4.4.2 update, and I'd like to install it, but obviously with TWRP installed, it can't automate the update process. So, a few questions:
1) Is it okay for me to manually install the update after locating it from my own recovery?
2) Where is the update stored, so that I can track it down within TWRP to flash?
Thanks guys!

you can't flash ota updates with twrp. only stock recovery. like mb_guy said, the ota are stored in the ''downloads'' folder. When you apply the ota, the file is deleted automatically.
You can manually flash ota updates from stock recovery. Move the ota.zip to android/obb. boot phone in stock recovery, select ''apply from phone storage'' ---> /obb --> your ota.zip
For some reason the update is in the /cache/ directory instead of in the downloads directory.
How do I switch to the standard recovery? Do I need to reflash the entire ROM or is there another flashable file?

you can flash stock recovery the same way you flashed custom recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
you must flash the stock recovery that match your firmware version which you can find with a:

Thanks for the help guys. I spent way too long trying to figure out how to get my computer to recognize my phone while in fastboot so I could get the main version number.
I finally was able to figure that out, but I'm not seeing my version (1.26.502.10) on the page.
Are any of the other recoveries usable? Or does this mean that I would have to go back to stock ATT, take the OTA update ATT was pushing a loong time ago, and then re-root to then flash a GE rom?

There is a rom dump here. once downloaded, you should be able to extract the stock recovery from there.

It looks like he's pulled the 1.26.502.10 rom - know of any other places it might be? Most of the 502.10 roms I'm seeing now are pre-rooted.

I can only find pre-rooted roms two. however, if the rom has the SuperSU installed, you can do a full unroot from the SuperSU settings

Ah - nevermind - just found out it won't reinstall the stock recovery, which means the OTA update won't stick anyway. Looks like the only way is the long way.

The minute you flash the stock recovery you will lose root. The steps you describe is how to get the OTA. For the OTA you need stock recovery, stock rom and you may need some files in the /preload/ folder that were deleted when you unlocked your bootloader.

It would be better to use a Guru Reset if you want ota's. You can simply make a backup in custom recovery. Flash the reset zip and take ota updates when your all done reflash twrp recovery and restore your backup.
You need to see if there's a reset zip that matches your MID, CID and Version main. For it to work though. Look here http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ or post your details if you need help to find the right one.

Not without losing root, no. Flash system image and TWRP and SuperSU.
So download the ota and re flash everything?
I was rooted 5.1 LMY47I and flashed LYZ28E via TWRP. It asked me if I wanted to flash SuperSU so I did. Once booted it encrypted my Nexus 6 on its own took about 5 mins.

Did you have to wipe and lose all your data? I'm so confused with all these threads. From what I gather, I can just download the OTA zip, install it and supersu via TWRP, but I don't want to got through the hassle of reinstalling all my apps and settings.
OR, can I just unroot the phone via Supersu and install the OTA update via the notification bar? My BL is unlocked and I'm running TWRP. Obviously, I will do a NANDROID and Ti backup prior to all of this.

If you're rooted yes just flash via TWRP, you'll lose root but once you reboot system it'll ask you if you want to flash SuperSU so just do that. This will give you root again with no issues. It took about 10-12 mins for me to boot up back to home screen, it'll update every app you have installed that easy bud. Don't panic trust me.

Well it depend what build the OTA gives you. If the OTA gives you a build that is available as a factory image, download the factory image and flash system and boot.
If the OTA is not available as a factory image download your current factory image, flash system and boot, then accept the OTA.
