[Q] Help me restore my M7 to get OTA Sense 6

Hello friends
I have a HTC One M7, US factory unlocked 32 gigs model, initially it was running on stock ROM's but to get 4.4.2 OTA Kitkat with sense 5.5 i had gone completely stock, relocked my bootloader and used 4.3 RUU from Htc dev center. After flashing 4.3 RUU, i had got a prompt update to 4.4.2 OTA and it went smoothly. The phone is stock since then and few days back tried updating to Sense 6.0 but the phone tried updating OTA, showed me a red triangle and reported "system/app/google.apk has unexpected contents" and the update stopped.
Am totally clueless as to what is wrong with the phone now, how do i correct this error to get OTA update, i cant find the 4.4.2 RUU on htc site. Currently running on 4.19.1540.9 so can i again flash 4.3 RUU, then update OTA to 4.4.2 and then another OTA to sense 6.0? Or is there a short and easy way out?
Thanks

please post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' except imei and sn. There is a 4.19.1540.9 RUU so in theory, you should be able to run it and update to 5.11.1540
is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

Something is off.
There is no Google.apk ...
Seocondly here is the checker file from OTA.. for eg.
apply_patch_check("/system/app/Gmail2.apk", "1320556b1253fba48ef13ca56a53c3bf1994069b", "73cf8dcc9241d5055c57317c92c1b54566206d4a") || abort("\"/system/app/Gmail2.apk\" has unexpected contents.");
set_progress(0.054699);
That seems to be doing some kind of a md5 check on Gmail2.apk before patching..
Maybe you need to re-run the RUU for 4.x.x.x (I have not been able to run it myself) and if incase it doesn't run, then S-oFF and go back to 3.x.x.x RUU, and then update away.
Last option will be restore a working nandroid of 5.x.x.x and install firmware.zip from 5.x.x.x OTA.. (I do not suggest it unless you absolutely have to.. good chances of things going bad.. even if you follow directions, specially without S-OFF)
---
ALSO...if you can get the exact file name, MAYBE we can get the ORIGINAL file from a working 4.4.2/Sense 5.5 firmware.
I am not suggesting this fix, but for more reading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945938 This is for Nexus 7

Thanks Sahil,
I did the OTA again to get the file name and got system/app/plusone.apk has unexpected contents. So this is where the problem lies in.
Can you tell why the 4.xx RUU are not working, any reason why it didnt work in your case. That was what i was planning to do. How do we change the system apps with stock ones? Read that thread, can we flash system.img? Is it safe? I would need to unlock the bootloader again for it, right?

I am not sure why 4.x RUU are not working. You should try it on your computer however, as that will be the best bet.
You should also S-OFF before doing the OTA right now, as S-OFF will allow you to downgrade as a get out of jail card.
DO NOT FLASH SYSTEM.IMG... I just linked the thread for what the updater script is doing, do not follow anything from that thread. I REPEAT!!
Have you ever used Titanium backup or file explorer to delete apps from system partition?

Thanks bro, will try the RUU in a couple of days and update as to what happens. No clue on how to S-OFF but read a few threads on rev-one and firewater. Should i use firewater to S-OFF the device? Hboot is 1.56. As you say, will not flash the SYSTEM.IMG, not that adventurous though .
I have never ever used titanium backup or used root/file explorer to delete any system apps but did read that unlocking bootloader on HTC devices does delete a few system apps, maybe that is what's causing this issue or either it is just with this update, if those system files were missing, the phone should not have updated OTA to 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 when i had used 4.3 RUU and then did OTA.

use firewater, revone is for hboot 1.44 only.

unlocking bootloader with htcdev.com wipe /data including the sub-folders /data/storage/0 (sdcard) and /preload (/data/preload) where some HTC app are stored (flashlight, calculator, soundhound, weather animations etc etc. Some updates patches these files, if they are missing, the update will fail (MD5 check will fail) and report i.e ''unexpected content in /media/preload/calculator.apk''. Unlocking the bootloader doesn't delete file in /system, however its possible that some /system files were modified or deleted using root/custom kernel/s-off. Thats probably why you have a "unexpected content" (Md5 mismatch) of your /system/app/plusone.apk.
There is a nice post from nkk71 that explain everything in details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52894276&postcount=9
if those system files were missing, the phone should not have updated OTA to 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 when i had used 4.3 RUU and then did OTA.

Only specific files are patched during an ota update, so in theory its possible to do an ota update even if some files are missing/modified. If the updater-script of the ota doesn't check for those files (no patch to apply to those files) there is no reason for the installation to fail. So its possible that your plusone.apk was deleted/modified before that update.
and BTW plusone.apk seems to be Google+ for HTC One., will try to find the original file from te ota.zip I have on my computer.
edit: looks like plusone.apk was patched in 4.19.1540.4: so plusone.apk from 4.19.1540.4 or 4.19.1540.9 should do the job.
apply_patch_check("/system/app/PlusOne.apk", "eb47d88d7a485509637a9c8b2027952c7dfd2f73", "ee503ad46dd0d209d294121925e4ee05b3fb82d6") || abort("\"/system/app/PlusOne.apk\" has unexpected contents.");

try this one, its from my 4.19.1540.9 backup. push it to /system/app and set permission to -rw-r--r--
try to update again and see if the script report any other "unexpected content" errors, if yes write them down and i'll send you the needed files.

[Q] Return to stock again, Q hboot

Hi,
So returning to stock again and Im planning on doing the following
Install the following zip as per video instructions on website.
Select option to include root
Then install this version of SuperSU >
Follow this guide to set the bootloader to LOCKED
Removed root from within SuperSu settings
Enter the following command via fastboot to go S-ON
./fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

will the version-main and baseband also be downgraded when I use the Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.161.1.zip file ?

No the version main won't be downgraded with the guru reset file, that file is pretty much rom only, you need the firmware.zip file to do that, you also need it to downgrade your hboot, or an ruu, I've had a look and there is no ruu for Vodafone, however, there is some earlier ota's. You could try downloading those and pull firmware.zip from them, then manually flash that, firmware zip contains things like stock recovery, radio, hboot, partition layouts etc, try and get one which matches the number on the guru reset file, ie search for 2.24.161.xx firmware, flash that first, you will then need to put a custom recovery back on to run the guru reset file, during the installation, select wipe data, install stock recovery and install stock radio, once it's all done and booted at least once, only then lock your bootloader and s-on, be careful when going back s-on though, it's been known for the tampered flag to return, personally I would send it back s-off, high chance they wouldn't even notice.
Just one question, why do you want to root ?, if your returning to stock for warranty then skip that part completely, you won't need root.
You may be able to pull firmware.zip from this ota http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/vodafone-ota-2-24-161-1-added/

Nah you don't, on the guru reset site, there is a bootloader reset tool which you just run from custom recovery.
It will allow you to lock, relock, unlock the bootloader whilst s-off and also remove the tampered flag

The plan is to flash the firmware from 4-19-161-11, then run the guru reset for 2.24.161.1 and take the OTA's to bring it up to whatever it should currently be ?
These phones were so easy to reset back in the Hero days

Yu can't do that, the 4xxxxx firmware will contain too high a hboot for the otas to work, although the guru reset file will install, the otas will lead to a bootloop due to you already having a higher hboot

Right, I need someone to fix that link then, have posted it in the collection thread, hopefully someone fixes it

Right so decided Im short on time so will run the following after changing the cid to HTC__001
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
This will downgrade the firmware and also flash the stock rom for htc europe.
Ill then need to change the recovery in order to run the following:

then reflash stock recovery and finally remove s-off

[Q] How Update Rooted One

Hi everyone
I want to do a "Official" Update for my HTC One (M7) that i rooted a while ago...
I allready read this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748547 And i found that the first and most important think is to have a Stock recovery
Unfortenantly i Have a custom recovery (TWRP) and the bootloader is "Unlocked"
What's the most secure and efficient way to be able to update my phone Offcially ?
Thnk's for help

Flash a stock recovery... You'll probably find one in the thread you got your custom one from.
Then just relock bootloader with the command
fastboot oem lock
You can now update with no issues.

if you have unlocked your bootloader and rooted the phone, you'll probably have issue installing the update even if you restore the stock recovery, Like I said in the post you have linked, when you unlock bootloader, /data/preload get wiped. You need this folder and its content back in place to install ota updates. Also, if rooting or anything else you did, modified some /system files, the ota will not install. However, flash you stock recovery back and try the ota, if the ota fails with an image of a red triangle and an exclamation mark inside, then you'll need to restore some files (either /system files or /data/preload files) You have to flash the stock recovery version that match your current version. If you can post the output of fastboot getvar all (minus imei and serialno) we could help you find the recovery you need.
and btw, no need to relock bootloader like said above. Better to leave it unlocked so you'll not have to unlock it again and wipe /data/preload again

relocking bootloader was not required, better to re-unlock it now, or you'll have the same problem with the next ota.
try to reapply the update. when the phone boot in stock recovery and start to flash the ota, press and hold vol+ then power and release both. You'll see some command lines and you'll be able to know which file is causing the ota to abort.
look for something like: unexpected content or no such file or directory)
also post the getvar all

you can't manually install an OTA if you are S-ON, you need to "download and install" on the phone directly.

hmm, in that case I don't have any ideas.
some users say they had to relock bootloader, though i don't think that's necessary, as the US Dev Edition comes bootloader unlocked by default, and still receives OTAs just fine.
I guess you could try that.

Hi everyone
I want to do a "Official" Update for my HTC One (M7) that i rooted a while ago...
I allready read this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748547 And i found that the first and most important think is to have a Stock recovery
Unfortenantly i Have a custom recovery (TWRP) and the bootloader is "Unlocked"

The easy way is to use a RUU to get you phone back to Stock
then download and flash the update.
the more complicated way is to restore stock recovery and the missing files from unlocking the bootloader and then download the update.
Depending on your phones CID / MID some are able to just flash a Guru Reset and choose to install the stock recovery and say no to root and then take the OTA update.
As you already have TWRP why not just install the Stock unrooted 6.xx.xxx.x Rom ? >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-4-4-3-sense-6-6-09-401-5-100-stock-t2854300

well, you could always go s-off and make things easier on yourself, but a question, what stock recovery are you using and where did you get it?

okay, that will not work, a GPE recovery, you need one for your phone. the easiest would be to extract it from the OTA

[Q] HTC One Vodafone System Update 6.12.161.5

Last night I got a notification for a System Update to version 6.12.161.5.
Has anyone tried this yet? And any problems found?
With the last two updates over the last 3-4 months I have had major problems:
1. When VodaFone forced the Rich Communication Suite / Service upon us; abysmal battery performance and terrible instability problem with phone frequently crashing on incoming calls and texts - which I 'solved' by Disabling RCS.
2. When VodaFone pushed the next update that greyed out the box to Disable RCS (they appeared to fix the instability and battery drain problem, but now I don't even have the option to disable RCS).
After lots of self-help and web searching I now have a stable phone with decent battery life again, and given those past painful experiences I am somewhat reluctant to blindly update.
Has anyone tried this Update yet, and can you comment after a few days of usage, particuarly on stability and battery usage?
Thanks
David

you can not flash OTA to unbrick a phone. You need to flash the complete rom. And btw, OTA can not be flashed manually with S-ON, it must be initiated from the OS .

Unfortunately, there is not much files for that CID.
I don't understand what you want to attempt with an OTA file. Firmware included in OTA are not complete, it only contain files to be updated in an incremental way. If you manually flash a firmware from an OTA updates and you do it over the wrong version (currently installed on your phone) this could end with a bricked phone (hardbrick)
Flashing the entire OTA zip file will not help either. OTA files are patches that must be installed over a working rom and proper rom version. It also must be flashed using the "software update" option within the OS (unless the phone is s-off)
what you should do imo, is to start over fresh, flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3 and flash a "close to stock" rom

how did you manage s-on + locked bootloader + no recovery ?
was this phone converted to DE or GPE at one time ?

Flash firmware from OTA...
I actually didn't do anything extraordinary except maybe to have flashed a rom with a different cid which got an update and brought me almost a this situation.
Then I wanted to bring the device to stock, so I flashed the original recovery and relocked the booloader. Nothing else.
I don't know why at the moment there's no way to enter recovery and if I try to unlock the bootloader again I reach the screen where I must agree on the device's screen to unlock, but then It just stuck on htc logo whilw trying to enter recovery..

if you flashed the stock recovery correctly you go to the bootloader choose recovery hit power button
the screen will go black push volume up and tap power again to see the recovery menu, choose format data . factory reset
after it finishes reboot the phone and try again to unlock the bootloader

So thanks to MIke 1986 and his great page link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823, I managed to recover my very very hrad brikked phone!!!!!!!!!
Here's what I did:
1- checked all phone's details with fastboot getavar all---> took note of CID - MID - versione OS installed etc.
2- took the OTA update corresponding to the firmware installed and extracted the firmware.zip
3- flashed the firmware.zip via fastboot (fastboot oem rebootRUU - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip [thanks to mike 1986]) ; #Alray: since a phone is S-On there's no risk to flash a wrong firmware and as I did anyone can do it via normal fastboot command with no issue!:angel:
4-In this way I recovered stock recovery and the possibility to unlock the bootloader again!!
5-moved a CWM nand backup to phone sd using sideload push command ( sideload push nandbackupname.zip /sd/cwm/backup/dateof backup - just make a nand backup yourself first to get exact loaction)
6-recovered from nandbackup using proper tool of cwm.

The risk is there, if you flash a firmware patch (ota firmware) over the wrong version (i.e 5.xx.xxx.x over 3.xx.xxx.x), this could brick. Happened many times that's why its mentioned in some threads. There is no risk flashing the same version like you did

Upgrading to stock from custom 4.4.3 ROM via RUU

Hello,
I have a number of questions before I jump in and update my phone, so I'm hoping to get some advice on the best way to upgrade from a 4.4.3 custom rom (ARHD 83.1) to the latest stock (rooted) rom - it looks like the custom 6.0 roms aren't so stable at the moment, so best to avoid them for now?
I'm also looking to update my radio with the hope of getting a better signal, or is the radio not really affected by the rom version? Hoping to get better battery life and general stability too.
I understand that I can't just install a custom 5.0.2 rom (e.g. ARHD 93.0) or custom 6.0 rom via recovery (as I normally would do) because of firmware/radio miss-matches? I need to update this first (must be S_OFF) before I can flash.
Some details:
M7_UL
HTC_039
Unlocked
S-ON
HBOOT-1.44.0000
Current: 6.09.401.11 / 4A.14.3250.13
Carrier: Telstra (AU)
From what I can tell, my two main options are either using ruu.zip/ruu.exe or Guru Reset.
I'm S-ON, so I can use Guru Reset, but I can't seem to find the latest firmware with this.
I understand I can flash ruu.zip/ruu.exe with S-ON if the firmware is newer?
Am I better off going S-OFF now (it's easier while on 1.44?)? Do I need to be S-OFF?
How do I know which firmware version to choose? Can I jump straight to 7.19.401.2?
Will OTA work after this?
Does it matter if I use x.xx.401.x (WWE?) or x.xx.908.x (Optus?) or x.xx.841.x (Telstra??) ... I don't want any carrier software, but I would like the best radio for my carrier (Telechoice/Telstra).
I understand that HTC_039 is Optus, but my current firmware is using WWE - these don't have to match?
So, if I need to do S-OFF, should I just use revone using this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4BWxtjaamM and this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63834144&postcount=6943 .. or using the toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364445 ?
Then, which is the preference for ruu.zip vs ruu.exe? e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybu7fZa41so
Once all is installed, I can re-root and install xposed for stock rom tweaks? I may or may not need to reinstall TWRP...?
I'd just like to be sure of what I'm doing before I start as there's so much information out there and I don't want to brick my phone!
Any help and advice is much appreciated - thank you!

Thanks for this. I'm currently running TWRP, but it looks like there's only a CWM version for this.
So, do I need to S-OFF? If I do this, and don't S-OFF, do I just get all the OTA updates, or is there something else that needs to be done for that to work?
To confirm, I can't just install the latest 5.0.2 ARHD over the top (with full wipe), because of firmware differences?

You need to use CWM recovery to restore CWM backup so you'll need to flash that recovery. You don't need S-OFF to flash the recovery, restore the backup and update your phone but if you want it, better to do it before updating. After restoring the backup, you'll need to flash back the stock recovery over CWM so you can install ota update. The stock recovery can be extracted from the ota update, download it and select "install later". Once downloaded, go to your Downloads folder and copy the zip file starting with "ota" to your computer. Open the zip file and you'll see another zip named "firmware.zip", extract that one to your desktop and finally open the firmware.zip file and extract the recovery.img file from it. This file is the stock recovery to be flashed before trying to install the previously downloaded ota update.
You can't install latest ROM (sense + lollipop) because your firmware is to old. Doesn't matters if its a x.xx.401.x or x.xx.780.x base but it must be 7.xx.xxx.x

Awesome, thanks for the guidance
Again, to clarify - is S-OFF something I need, or do the risks outweigh the benefits, once everything is up to date? Once S-OFF, this will remain S-OFF? Best to do this first while still on a rooted ROM, before loading stock nandroid?
Sorry for all the questions, but your help has been great, thanks!
