Did i just brick my phone? - Sprint HTC One (M8)

My phone is S-OFF and Rooted stock but that annoying update now kept popping up. I let it download but after restarting my phone its just hung on the HTC white Boot screen. Is there anything i can do to revert this back to normal?

Well the OTA kept asking to update every second. I pushed the .zip Firmware at HBOOT along with installing the stock rooted ROM. Everything worked fine until i accidently allowed the OTA update to install and rebooted the phone and it wont start back up now.

From recovery try this
adb push ROMname.zip /sdcard/

If i have the ROM on my internal SDcard already could i just flash that through recovery? I know the big problem was installing the new OTA update through sprint.

I am not sure i am explaining this well either. I am rooted... S-OFF... I installed the custom .zip for firmware from themikmik forum (captin)... which was installed through HBOOT on an external SDCard. I then Installed the Stock rooted from From captin. All was good until the notification to update OTA popped up and accidentally installed. After the phone rebooted it will never get past the white HTC One screen. I can boot into my Custom recovery and that is all i can do.

Yeah give it a shot.
Also within twrp choose File Manager and navigate to your Internal sdcard and find the downloads folder and delete the OTA file.
Not 100% sure that will work but it's worth a shot.

You cold try fastboot flashing the stock recovery and see if the OTA will continue
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j3jjhti461otrbd/Stock_1.12.651.17_recovery.img
I personally never take the OTA.
All I know is you have to have a stockish rom and stock recovery for the OTA to flash

Request Rogers stock recovery Please

I have to return my phone and I cannot get my stock recovery back onto my One. I followed the instructions that were played out in the guide I used but either did something wrong, or accidentally deleted the initial backup.
If anyone with the rogers variant could please help me by providing the stock rogers recovery.img i would be forever indebted to you. A stock nandroid would also work.

This thread has the OTA for rogers. In the folder there should be a firmware.zip file that contains a recovery. I was able to use the to upgrade to 1.29.631.17 from .4 (took 3 restarts) but I never tried to the 4.3 update.

so is the firmware.zip the Stock recovery file? If i flash it, will i go back to Stock recovery?
Currently i am on Stock Rom, but the recovery is TWRP... so if i try to update the latest 4.3 by Rogers, it opens up the TWRP recovery and sits there.,..

[Q] Update won't install on Stock Rooted with TWRP

HTC Pushed an update to my HTC One Dev Ed tonight..
1.29.1540.16
When it tries to flash the update it just goes into TWRP recovery. No other actions.
I then drilled down to the directory that it downloaded to /data/media/downloads and tried to flash with TWRP.. no dice.
Here is the update.. but honestly I don't know what it does.
any Idea on what is preventing the flash?

You must go back to stock recovery in order for the update to successfully flash on your device.
You don't need the update from HTC, just go and flash the latest revolution 10.2 rom, it is running 4.2.2 and it has some nice performance tweaks. And it isn't modified so it's running sense 5.

For some of us, going to a different ROM is not a viable choice, and frankly a solution to load a different ROM does not answer the original question.
Hi I have the same problem here.
When I try to install stock 4.2.2, the phone reboot & automatically enter TWRP & thus stock update was unable to run.

None of the HTC direct updates will work while TWRP is installed.
you will have to
Fastboot flash (stock recovery .img)
then the updated from HTC works with no problems. pst if you can't find the img

pull it from the rom zip(boot)and put it in your fastboot directory.

boy, i don't know at this point, you may have borked the radio, i would try to ruu, get back to stock and start all over.keep in mind if you run an RUU you have to relock the bootloader to do so. then you can unlock again and go from there.install recovery etc/

Also, I suggest using the revone s-off method from the revolutionary team. It allows you to flash ROMs more easily without flashing the boot.img separately. The link to the thread on how is in my web signature.

I rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed CWM. Then a day later the 4.3 update came around for the Google Play One. When it asked to reboot I said ok, watched it then saw it fail in CWM. I saved the zip to my download folder, now I want to know what I need to do to update the phone.
I tried flashing it within CWM but it fails. Thanx alot for the help guys, Im already on Hboot 1.54 since I just got the phone.

To clear something up -- does your phone boot after flashing a fastboot? If no, you need to format the internal sd and change it's mount point to /data/media (use Philz CWM to do all that) -- that's a common error after downgrading from a 4.2+ rom to a 4.1.2- rom.

Yep, just boot into recovery and make nandroid backup saved to the external sd before you flash anything (you risk wiping it accidentally if stored to the internal sd). That way if anything goes wrong all you have to do is boot into recovery and restore your backup.
