I'm on a GPe with custom kernel and recovery and root. I'm trying to take the OTA and I've flashed back to a stock kernel, but it doesn't seem to "take."
Sweep2wake still works even after a flash. This is the most confusing part for me. It even sticks after a kernel flash and factory reset.

Are you trying to take the OTA directly through the Device OTA option or via this thread?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390319
If you're doing it direct through the phone it wont work without stock kernel and recovery. If you download the OTA in the thread I linked and follow the instructions it should work.

That's part of the question. Why won't flashing the stock kernel fix it and erase stuff like sweep2wake?

This is ridiculously aggravating.
I've got a stock kernel, stock recovery, OTA file on my SD card in about 3 different places.
Every time i boot to recovery it tries to mount hte storage 5 times and fails. Then clicking install from any location (cache, sd, phone storage) just says "invalid operation" and the phone reboots. Whats the problem here??

Sounds like you have an issue with your stock something (recovery/kernel/hboot). If you're on a GPe One just flash the RUU for 4.2.2 and then try again.

Yeah, I think I'll do that. I just don't know what it could be, all i changed was the kernel (to get logo as recent apps.)
Thanks.
Did you relock the bootloader? If you want to use OTA's, bootloader has to be locked in order for it to install.

I'm on an ATT HTC ONE converted to GPe via S-OFF so my bootloader wasn't locked when I installed the OTA.

But you have S-OFF. That bypasses bootloader anyways. Doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked then; S-OFF will eliminate the security checks.

Hi,
I had my phone replace the camera because of the purple-tint problem, HTC upgraded my phone to HBoot 1.54 and android 4.2.2 without informing me . Anyway.
After receiving my phone, I unlocked my phone again by the official method, then I wanted to make a clean backup of my rom, so I tried to boot my phone to third party recovery image by "fastboot boot some_CWM.img", my phone just hung there. I was frustrated, if I flash the CWM.img to the phone, would I brick my phone? Before the upgrade, my phone could be booted in the same CWM image file, can I use third party CWM after upgrade my HBoot to 1.54?
Any idea? please
Since you have HBOOT 1.54, you cannot boot into recovery using fastboot anymore, you have to flash the recovery and then backup the ROM.
You flash the recovery by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
I also recommend TWRP, its so much easier to use and if you cant find it ill attach it here if you want!
EDIT: **** This will replace your stock recovery by CWM or TWRP ****
HTC One 1.54 bootloader, flash recovery.
Hey guys, new member, and thanks for the extensive information provided on the forum!
I have a related question to what the OP posted...possibly pertinent info about the phone itself:
I have an HTC One with 1.54 bootloader, it used to be a 4.1.2 with 1.44 bootloader AT&T device, which I rooted, S-OFF, CWM etc. I then realized I couldn't take OTA updates and was stuck either on 4.1.2 or a custom ROM, so I downloaded a 4.4 stock google edition RUU and installed it. Everything is good so far, but I cannot do a full backup anymore because it has the stock recovery.
My question is, can I just flash the CWM recovery, backup the phone, and flash back the stock recovery? My goal is to get best of both worlds, get OTA updates from google as well as do a full back-up of my phone.
Please advise, and thanks in advance for your input!
PS: Since the 4.4 RUU update, my phone still says "unlocked" and "S-OFF", if that matters at all.

Sure you can but the stock recovery is only needed for OTA and they don't come that often.
and your phone has to be stock with stock recovery (no apps removed).
most people just ruu back to stock for the ota... not run custom recovery just long enough to backup.
Thanks for the quick response! I think what you're saying makes sense, though I don't have a stock AT&T RUU. I'm guessing I can download it with similar firmware so I can switch as needed. Thanks again!

Awesome, thanks again!
I looked around the site before posting this, didn't find anything specific. I have a Nandroid backup of the stock phone before I started messing with it. If I do a recovery of that image using CWM, is it the same as downloading and flashing one of the stock RUUs? I'm guessing not, but would like to know for sure. Is the difference that RUUs have firmware, radio etc, while a Nandroid backup is of the OS and SD card?

well for one thing when you unlock the booloader it deletes some system files when it wipes the phone.. so your stock backup is already flawed (not true stock). and like i said to take OTA you must have a complete Stock phone. the only real Stock phone comes from RUU. I hope this clears it up for you. And no your sdcard is not backed up in the Nandroid

Hi guys, sorry in advance for digging up an old thread!
I have an AT&T HTC One, installed the Google Edition 4.4.2 with this group's help, rooted etc.
I received an OTA update from google today (4.4.3), and while I tried installing it, it crashes with a "SET_METADATA_RECURSIVE" something failed etc. I tried it with both the recovery.img that I have from the Google Edition ROM as well as the CWM recovery.
I've searched for stuff in the forum and the only thing I found is that I may need the latest version of clockworkmod, but I think I already do...I have 6.0.4.3, which is the HTC One AT&T one. Also, since I installed the Google Edition ROM, I haven't removed or uninstalled any system apps..so my phone is pretty stock as far as Google is concerned.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------
I figured it out...I had to get the recovery.img from the 4.4.2 RUU, fastboot flash the bugger into my phone (CWK didn't work), and I was able to download and install the 4.4.3 with no issues. Pissed away a few hrs trying different things, hopefully this update is worth it!!!

Your phone does not have to be rooted (installed supersu.apk , superuser.apk ... ) to flash a cutom rom.
If you want to unroot any custom rom, you simply have to remove the superuser.apk / supersu.apk. And you normally wont have any problem

Many thanks - I want to be able to view work emails on my device, and a new policy prevents access if root is detected.
I'm familiar with flashing Samsung and Nexus devices, but HTC is new to me.
If I understand correctly, I just need to:
- Unlock device via htcdev.com
- Copy custom rom to internal storage
- Backup internal storage
- Boot to recovery (do I need to flash a custom recovery?)
- Install custom rom
Is that correct?
You will need a custom recovery, yes. Why don't you want root access?

unlocking bootloader erases everything. Before you unlock the bootloader disable fastboot andenable usb debugging
Yes you need to flash a custom recovery. I did it after unlocking bootloader with cmd ("adb flash recovery recovery.img")

I'm enjoying our start to the season while it lasts!
Anyway, back on topic, I'm actually really enjoying the stock Sense rom (pretty amazing experience comared to Touchwiz on Sammy devices), so I think I'll try a 4.3 Sense based rom. Do you have any recommendations? Ideally as close to stock with as few mods as possible.
I'm looking at a few of the available roms now, but none of them really stand out as the one to go for.
Finally - when I unlock my bootloader, the device will be wiped - so how much (if any?) of my set up and data will be saved / restored via HTC backup when I install a 4.3 sense based rom?
I actually love Sense 5 but today I've put the latest GPe build on my phone (100% stock as I have no need to root). I had a Nexus 4 before so it's nice to see a full HD stock Android build that all works as it should
Once HTC release the official 4.3 Sense update I'll go back to stock again

I am using ViperOne and i LOVE it! If you want something almost stock, i would recommend AndroidRevolutionHD
in my case it did not restore anything by HTC backup. I do not use it. I am setting up everything by myself when i install a new rom. (of course not contacts, etc, this is restored by my google account)

No possible. Unless you are S-Off, which is unlikely. You need root to install custom roms with S-Off (most likely your case).
After you install custom roms you may not like it and want to go back to stock so you can get normal upgrades to 4.2.2 or 4.3. Then you need to
relock your bootloader and flash a RUU.zip which is the stock 4.1.2.

Oops. Typo. Let me restate it. You need root if you are S-On. You don't need root if you are S-Off.
Hi, I have an Unlocked 32GB HTC One (BS_US001) and I'm having a hard time trying to find info about stock recoveries.
My phone currently is on stock 4.1.2, bootloader unlocked, S-Off and rooted. I was using the TWRP recovery, used to root my phone. Since the 4.3 update came out, I was searching for the stock recovery to proceed with the update, but too many different files seems to exist. I just want to install the right recovery and apply the 4.3 update, no full ROM flash.
Yesterday I flashed this recovery file (9MB) and got icons similar of those on the right of this image.
Today, I flashed this one (7.9MB) and got something like this, the little android icon.
Later, I've found another one (9.8MB).
Edit: and another one, a few bytes shorter than the third.
But now I'm little afraid of flashing again, just for the sake of it.
So, first of all, which one is the right file for my phone (yet another one)?
Second, I flash recoveries through fastboot command line (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img). Can this method and command brick my phone?
Third, how the stock recovery behaves on your phone? Both times, when I flashed the files and entered in recovery mode, my phone would boot 2 or 3 times straight into recovery mode again, until it boot itself properly, into the system. Also, recovery mode goes from the green to the red icon and awaits until I reboot the phone again.
Thanks in advance.
Final edit: For the sake of others lost in the lack of good info, I'm editing this old post.
I found some crap advices here and there. One of them was the need to relock the bootloader to accept OTAs. It doesn't make any sense, but if you are seeking help, you will take **** as good advice. Don't do it.
Another bad advice was about the stock recovery. Just open the last update you got (Downloads folder on your phone or get the OTA from HTC website) and extract the recovery.img file. Flash it and you have the proper stock recovery for your phone.
All of this is about the stock HTC One - no custom roms, no xposed changes, nothing. The only thing I did prior to this was to flash TWRP and root. That's how I want my phone for now - stock with root.
I kind of went through this today. Ended up just wiping it, running a RUU and reapplying OTAs.
I'll tell you this… after I went through this I attempted to salvage the stock recovery before rerooting etc. I was stuck trying to get fastboot to boot a recovery instead of flash one. I did find an alternate way to harvest the recovery. I got it out of the ota. I'm not done testing it yet, but my phone was still showing tampered. Flashed cwr and called it a day at that point
Sent from my HTC One
Thank you for your answer. I'm trying to avoid the whole RUU thing, but I'll keep it as a last resource, for sure. Also, I'm trying to understand more about this piece of software called recovery.
The one I sent you is pulled directly from stock 1.29.1540.16 for Dev. edition, which comes with an unlocked bootloader as well. Also, it's signed, which will allow it to be flashed whether you're s-on or off. Assuming your MID is PN0712000, with CID BS_US001, this recovery is your stock and will work. Hope it helps.

I've been running into similar issues. For the previous 2 OTA's (1540.3 --> 1540.16 & 1540.16 --> 1540.17), simply reflashed stock recovery, ran the OTA, it updated, then I flashed TWRP again. For the most recent OTA (3.22.1540.1, I think), that seems to not be working, but I can't seem to find the right recovery. I've found 1540.3's recovery, but not 1540.16 (or .17 if there was a new recovery in that OTA). Where did you end up finding it?
Thanks!

1.29.1540.16 Developer Edition signed stock recovery.
Has anyone else flashed stock recovery while on custom ROM? I was pleasantly surprised to discover my SD card was wiped Is this normal, and was there some way I could have figured out this was what was going to happen? I don't really understand what stock recovery does/is for. The only other time I'd flashed stock recovery was after restoring to stock ROM from nandroid.

I haven't been rooted since one of the last 4.1.2 updates, because that's when I went back to stock recovery. I was able to accept those OTA packs, why is this one different? I'm really trying to save factory resets or RUU's for the absolute last ditch effort, in fact I'm more likely to stick with 4.1.2 until I can find a way to do this.

Hello, I have HTC One Intl (see my signature) on everything stock. Phone is S-off and rooted. Yesterday I had seen 4.3 OTA notification, downloaded it and tried to install, but installation failed in recovery (red triangle with exclamation). I've tried it several times, but no luck - phone reboots to recovery, installation process begins and fails at ~30 per cent.
Help me find out, why it happens (maybe i can find installation log somewhere, but don't know where to search) and how to install this update.
You need:
- Stock Recovery
- Stock rom without root
- Locked/Relocked bootloader
After your phone can install the OTA.

Recovery is stock.
Can I use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to temporary unroot? At least it gives such possibility, don't know will it work or not.
Is locked/relocked bootloader obligatory? if yes, I will search how to relock it again.
Thanks.

Hello, I have HTC One Intl (see my signature) on everything stock. Phone is S-off and rooted. Yesterday I had seen 4.3 OTA notification, downloaded it and tried to install, but installation failed in recovery (red triangle with exclamation). I've tried it several times, but no luck - phone reboots to recovery, installation process begins and fails at ~30 per cent.
Help me find out, why it happens (maybe i can find installation log somewhere, but don't know where to search) and how to install this update.

You need:
- Stock Recovery
- Stock rom without root
- Locked/Relocked bootloader
After your phone can install the OTA.

Dont mean to intrude, but I'm pretty sure he can leave the bootloader unlocked, even root I think
He does need to have stock recovery, stock rom (including the preloaded apps that get deleted when unlocking), I think that's about it.

I don't know i never used this app.
Yeah, probably bootloader relocked is necessary

Mate i have a friend that with s-off needed a relocked bootloader for OTA.
I'm not sure.
but i think is better upgrading with a flash or firmware and rom.

Hey @Guich, I personally havent tried, but did some searching a while back (while helping someone with a similar problem), and I think it did work with unlocked bootloader, I also just found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306880

Will take a look
However, i think is easier update with a firmware flash and flash of rom.
He have the s-off...
Why turn to stock for rooted another time?

You're right :good: With s-off, so no problems locking/unlocking etc
@nkk71 Thanks for thread, I will try to restore that APKs and flash OTA again.

make sure the "preload" apps are for your version, mate!!
If you signature is correct: "ROM: Stock 2.24.401.8 (Android 4.2.2)" Maybe just best to use the Guru Reset ROM.
EDIT: I recommend full backup to PC first though, just in case!!

Yes, of course, i will search apps for my ROM version and backup it to PC before doing anything.
Signature is correct, i've taken it from fastboot screen.

fastboot screen only shows your firmware, you also need a stock ROM (you can check which version you have in Settings -> About -> etc.)

Same version there
ROM is stock, it was updated via OTAs from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. All was fine.
Only my customization is rooting, s-off and unlocking bootloader.

then you may just be missing the "preloaded" apps, here's an idea, why not dirty flash (ie no WIPE) the Guru Reset ROM: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
BTW: the reason I mentioned the backup to PC, is one time I flashed stock recovery (and accessed it), and i was unpleasantly surprised it wiped my internal storage.

Good luck, and if you do (and wanna help the rest of the community) can you try with both ROOT and unlocked bootloader first, and see if it works.
I know it's a bit of a hassle but at least you would be able to confirm if ROOT or unlocked bootloader are interfering with the update
unlocked bootloader will not interfere with ota,did it myself
sent from my s-off 801n M7_UL

Can you describe the whole procedure?
Sorry guys, i'm not so patient - so flashed new firmware from OTA's zip archive, flashed TWRP and then flashed ARHD. I'm happy now
