[Q] OTA 4.4.2 vodafone update - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I've been banging my head against a wall trying to get this update to work.
My phone:
cid vodap001
hboot 1.55
os 3.63.161.6
Basically I unlocked, CWM and s-ff with rum runner, keeping stock rom. Then relocked removed tampered etc with revone.
First atempt of trying to OTA to 4.4.2 was to revert to stock recovery (still not sure if I have correct one, anyone point me to one?)
Factory reset and then try the update. I get the red triangle after a while.
Error: system/app/basicdreams.apk has unexpected contents no file_contexts verifying current system
Looking at htc1guru but cant seem to find what I need.
Any help?
Edit: As I have deleted some stock apps when rooted etc im assuming that i have to reinstall a stock RUU and not just the stock recovery, any idea what one i need?
Thanks.

Been looking at ruu's and can't find the one I need, I'm assuming I can't also use to ota file on the same site to get what I want as I'll run into the same problem as now with trying to update?

Did you unlock your bootloader.. It needs to be unlocked again to flash the stock recovery...
Try fastboot own unlock
Or get another unlock token from HTCdev

I got this working. I locked my bootloader again and still had problems. So I unlocked bootloader installed cwm and adb sideloaded the guru RUU. This worked fine and i got all the updates to 4.4.2! I then unlocked my bootloader again ready to root - this made me think that as i unlocked my bootloader (thus changing system files) I wouldn't be able to receive further OTA updates.
I reinstalled CWM, left my bootloader unlocked sideloaded again and im back upto 4.4.2 with unlocked bootloader, installed cwm and made a backup which should be ok to use in future for further OTA updates!
Thanks for the help,
Pilch.

[Q] Stock Recovery Partition Missing?

Just curious, does anyone have a dump of the recovery partition for the Dev Edition? It looks like from a bit of reading is that the recovery partition doesn't seem to be present.
I am unable to use recovery mode properly since it saids invalid operation when I do apply from SD, storage or cache, followed by the phone automatically restarting.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if the unlocked 32 GB versions is unaffected.
try to reflash the recovery, the partitions should be the same as the original One
I tried to do that by using the RUU and using the zip, but it did not bring it back.
Is there a way to get the recovery image itself? I tried to extract the zip but it looked like it's encrypted as I cannot do so.
Looks like one mike1986 mentioned it's missing as well.
mike1986. said:
1. Well, I decided not to mention some things to avoid confusion. At the moment unlocking bootloader removes content of /data/preload partition, so indeed, installing OTA will fail. But I truly hope that HTC will fix it at some point and unlocking bootloader won't cause some stock apps to be missing.
2. Which procedure?

Hmm, I'm beginning to wonder if the stock recovery is suppose to work like that, where if I try to apply storage, sd card, or cache it saids invalid operation and reboot. The reason is, a new HTC One S my relative got she her phone is being replaced for free under warranty... I go to the recovery and do those certain the apply stuff, it also saids invalid operation out and restarts!
I find this a bit interesting on my HTC One when I go to the recovery and wondering the failed mount SD card messages is normal.

The only time bootloader is going to Sig check a recovery partition is if he is relocked. He said he used the ruu a couple times so he is still relocked.

I was trying the unmodified firmware, and I believe that I AM S-ON, as I have never done anything special to get S-OFF.

yeah you have to relock your bootloader for the firmware to flash successfully. you can do this through the command "fastboot oem lock" in cmd that you opened in the same folder location as your fastboot binaries
BUT be careful because if you do this you will lose everything on your phone, including all of the stuff you have on your internal storage, etc. i just performed this operation yesterday and had gotten that same error before i re-locked

Will I be able to flash the updated firmware in the full version with S-On?

Try Firewater for s-off.
Yes you can flash the Full Firmware while s-on but you will have to re-lock your bootloader to do so which means unlocking again and wiping your phone.

Put the firewater file in your adb/fastboot/platform tools folder, open a cmd window then copy and paste the commands on the firewater site.

Most likely it won't and you'll need to use the Sunshine exploit.
Firewater won't work. If you look at my thread from a couple days ago I had the exact same issues. Ruu in fastboot, unlock bootloader, install twrp 281, and run sunshine.
