[Q] How do you update OTA with Team Win Recovery?

Hi,
I downloaded the 4.3 update OTA and when I try to install it, the phone boots into TWRP. I don't know where the OTA update saves.
Does anyone know where I can find the file or how to not restart into TWRP when trying to do the update?
Thanks

Which file you've donwloaded?
Are you using the stock rom with only root and you get the notification of the ota?

Yes I am rooted on my stock ROM. I received the notification and have downloaded the file.
Found the file under downloads, however it won't install with TWR....

This is normal.
You must have the stock recovery and a bootloader locked/relocked for install OTA...

Ah man....
wanna direct me in the right direction on how to do all that? :laugh:

Hi @Guich, couldn't he just pull the firmware package from the zip file and flash it in fastboot RUU mode, I was wondering, cause I may need to this for a friend, cause he can't get S-Off atm.

need to know your version, post a "fastboot getvar all" but remove IMEI and serial number before posting.

The firmware will upgrade the hboot etc, not the OS
And, however, in s-on you can flash only the zip signed by HTC.

I just flashed the stock recovery and installed the OTA, left the bootloader unlocked. Then flashed TWRP and re rooted. Locked bootloader was fine.

To be able to apply an OTA, unless I'm mistaken, you need three prerequisites:
1- go back to "stock rom"
2- go back to "stock recovery"
3- lock/relock your bootloader
then you will be able to apply the OTA successfully. Using a "custom recovery" (TWRP or CWM) will not allow the OTA to install.
from you're initial post, it looks like you are already on "stock rom" but with "custom recovery" (TWRP). you need to replace TWRP with "stock recovery" (note that this will wipe your internal storage)
in order to find out which recovery is stock for you, running a "fastboot getvar all" (removing IMEI and s/n before posting pls) will show which firmware version you are on, so that we can point you to the correct "stock recovery"
the command is run when your phone is in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, connected to your PC, and then from your PC you type something like "C:\ADB\fastboot getvar all" depending where you saved the adb sdk.

Hi, how do you flash stock recovery?
If I do that, would I lose all of my information on the phone?

Most probably yes, last time I flashed stock recovery it wiped my internal storage.

[Q] M7 only boot to recovery or fast boot. Bricked?

Hey guys,
When I boot my phone it'll only give me the HTC splash screen. I can manage to get my phone to boot into clockwork or the bootloader but nothing else.
My phone is S-ON with USB debugging disabled. Hboot is 1.56.
Is it a lost cause?

USB debugging doesnt matter in custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), you can use one of these methods to get a ROM onto your phone, while in custom recovery:
1- OTG Cable
2- adb push <name of rom>.zip /sdcard/
3- adb sideload <name of rom>.zip
if you're going to flash a 4.4 ROM then you best use TWRP (the correct one for your phone model), and if you're going to flash a GPe ROM you need to be S-Off.

Ok so I'm using TWRP and managed to get Maximus Rom installed but now the touch screen won't respond on lock screen.
Driver compatibility maybe? The ROM seemed to install fine and I ran fastboot flash boot boot.img.
Does it have to be a OTG cable? Standard USB seems to be working fine for the most part.
Thanks

1- post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)
2- what version of TWRP are you using (don't say "latest" please)
3- which ROM (link please) and version number
4- did you really need to "fastboot flash boot boot.img." ? was it indicated in the thread?

that's not your fastboot getvar all, however, the most important part is there which is your OS number, 5.16.161.2 is Vodafone, there is no RUU for your device, do you not have a backup ? how did you brick ?

well as your s-on, you can forget about any RUU's at all for now.
I would recommend you flash twrp recovery, use 2.6.3.3 and then erase cache, then reboot bootloader (see commands below).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
after that go into twrp recovery and select wipe then format data, this will completely wipe your phone of everything, but as its already messed up then it doesn't really matter, does it.
once that is done, download a sense rom from the development section and try and push it to your internal sdcard, if successful then flash it.

adb push it straight to the sdcard, make sure your phone is plugged into the computer and the rom is in the same folder as adb and fastboot files, then issue this command:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
it will look like its not doing anything but will let you know when its done, then uplug your phone before flashing the rom.
and both TWRP and CWM have their good points, you need CWM to flash AOSP rom's and TWRP to flash sense rom's

Strangely this is exactly the position I'm in today too.
I wanted to revert to stock after trying cyanogen, relocked the bootloaded and tried to run an RUU. However it stopped with an 'unknown error'. So I tried to push a zip file to it but the adb can't connect to the device and the phone isn't showing up in the device manager (because it's in boot mode?).
I then tried your advice about twrp and tried a different RUU but still get an unknown error and still can't push to the device.
Any ideas of what to try next? My OS is now showing as empty, there was something there previously.
I figured it was time to get some help before I broke things any more.

first thing to do is unlock your bootloader again, if you've not already done that, then get TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery on there, that maybe a problem though as your phone isn't showing in device manager.
So put your phone into the bootloader and see what device manager says then, it should say something if its detecting your phone, even if drivers arnt installed.
also, which HBOOT are you on ? and which Windows OS are you using ?

I think I've unlocked the bootloader again, fastboot is available and it's showing 'unlocked' at the top. twrp is on there too and I've done the wipe again. The fastboot commands work but pushing doesn't
error: device not found
HBOOT is 1.55.0000 / win7 64 home
Btw Twrp said it couldn't find cache but the wipe was successful.
Thanks for the help.

ok I see what your saying now, what you need to do is boot into TWRP, main screen only, no sub menu's, at that point is your phone still detected in device manager ?
if so then............
put the rom you want to flash in the same folder as adb and fastboot files on your computer, then type:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
you cant push files to your phone using fastboot or whilst its in the bootloader, that's strictly for flashing simple files like Radio's, HBOOTS, recoveries.

Well at least I've got something in the device manager even if it is a SAMSUNG Android Phone and not my HTC!
The push command hasn't brought up an error, the cursor is just flashing on the next line. It appears to be doing nothing like you said. So I guess I'm playing the waiting game for ten minutes or so. Will there be a notification when it's completed?

Please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" so we can know the relevant information about your phone. We also need to know if your bootloader is locked, unlocked or relocked (you can see this info from the bootloader screen). Are you using the stock recovery or a custom recovery?

You only need to be booted in the bootloader mode to see your bootloader locked/unlocked status and to use fastboot commands like "fastboot getvar all". If you don't know how to use adb/fastboot commands, there are many guides explaining how on xda, Google search for "minimal adb and fastboot" and you should be good. Also make sure that your HTC drivers are installed on your computer (drivers not required if you are using a mac or Linux)
