Official OTA ICS update fails:

Hi All,
I need help for the following issue,
today i got notified by my incredible S that a software update is available,
I accepted and downloads starts, finished, choose install and the system checked the downloaded package, then phone rebooted to start the installation, then a blue android logo appear on the screen along with "!" inside a triangle, and phone was stuck on this for more then an hour before i took out the battery and restarted it and it is now back normal but on 2.3.5
anyone faced this matter and found a solution???
the phone is rooted, unlocked bootloader via HTCDEV website, and all the crappy HTC application uninstalled including htc sense and everything.
any help will be very appreciated,
thanks.
Problem solved:
-relock the bootloader:fastboot oem lock
-create a gold card: http://androidforums.com/desire-s-all-things-root/500543-guide-how-create-goldcard.html
-download the ICS RUU suitable for your phone: http://d-h.st/users/Inferi0r/?fld_id=2601#files
-put the gold card in the phone then run the RUU
DONE

I can flash the image via fastboot as describe in the original thread of the rom
should i perform a factory reset, wipe data and dalvik before flashing?
thanks again
Edit: after searching the ROM thread, it will not work on HBOOT 2.01.001

OK, so if you have modded the stock ROM by removing HTC applications and Sense, then that is why the OTA update failed.
To accept and install the OTA you must have all the stock components in place, HBOOT, recovery and all the apps.

Download the stock ice ruu exe from the thread listing in the dev section.
Make a goldcard and then install.
Remember this method I think will work with a compleatly stock phone meaning s-on locked bootloader, no root and no custom recovery. Do this at your own risk. I have a inc s with cid 38, It worked for me.

i have checked your suggested rom but it seems not to work with my S ON hboot version
would it help if i do the following?:
restore all the stock application from titanium backup
and then try to accept the OTA update?
or as naathaanb96 suggested to simply unroot, lock bootloader?
i have tried to unroot using htc tool V3 with no luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114

As the previous poster suggested, just relock the bootloader and then run the official ICS RUU using a goldcard.
Then since you have unlocked your bootloader before, you can simply use the same unlock_code.bin to unlock the ICS bootloader and then you can add a custom recovery and root the system.

[Q] Dev Edition - Root but keep OTA?

I have sucessfully converted my AT&T HTC One to the Developers Edition. If install TWRP and root the device, then re-install the stock recovery, can I maintain the ability to receive OTA Updates?
Also can someone confirm that the 4.06.1540 recovery is the latest for 4.4.2 sense 6? (Found Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545227)
Or if there is a better way to accomplish root etc.
Thank you in advance.

That is a good recovery to have in place *before* you start checking for the latest 5.x.x.x OTA. Technically it's not the "latest" (the latest one would be the one you will end up with *after* the OTA) but it's the right one for your situation.
Overall the short answer to your question is yes, you can get OTA's with this plan.
If you remove anything from /system you might not.
If you do more stuff (like downgrading HBOOT, installing a custom kernel, whatever) you might not.
But for most people in your situation, you'll get OTA's.
Generally.
Enjoy.

The best thing to do is a nandroid of your stock rom & recovery prior to installing TWRP and obtaining root. If you need to go back to stock you will have it. I haven't seen the stock recovery for 4.4.2 sense 6, it should be 5.11.1540.9.

Sure it is but unfortunately if has not been possible to (fastboot boot recovery.zip) since hboot 1.44
The best most people can do is after taking the update reflash TWRP and make a backup including recovery. then download and keep the stock recovery with it.

Thank you all for the response. Here is what I would like to do:
1. Backup my existing recovery through adb using the #dd command. Anyone know the correct syntax?
2. Install TWRP and backup the existing unrooted ROM.
3. Root the device. Do not remove any files from /system, no custom kernels (doesn't really matter since I will restore backup). Simply use titanium back to restore my apks and freeze the ones I don't use. I would like to install Xposed though.....
4. See OTA Update. Backup apks, restore unrooted. Restore stock recovery through adb. Anyone know why the syntax??
5. Run the OTA Update.
6. Profit.... Go back to step 1.
What do you all think? Any help with the syntax to dump and restore stock recovery?

doesn't know the #dd command but recovery can be extracted from the firmware package inside the ota.zip
anyway, I have all the latest dev edition recovery so you'll save a little time:

5.11.1540.9 MD5: c487a17382e2e1c207efae66fed00925

Always a good thing to do, also make a copy of that backup on your computer.

no need to restore your backup if you didnt modified/deleted /system or /preload files and your kernel is stock. Just restore your recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
5. Run the OTA Update.
6. Profit.... Go back to step 1.

More Questions on Receiving OTA's
@alray On Step 4, to receive the OTA's, in addition to restoring stock recovery, wouldn't it be necessary to unroot the device and disable Xposed?

Click to expand...

no need to unroot to be able to apply the ota but you might loose root after the update, in that case, root again after the update.
I have updated mine many times with xposed still enabled and didnt have any issue. But you might want to disable module like ''sense 5 toolbox'' when updating to sense 6... Anyway if you want to be safe, yes you can disable xposed but this is not required.

@alray Thank you very much! I was unrooting and disabling Xposed, etc. Good to know I can "Keep it Simple"!

@alray The link for the latest recovery is 404ed. Can you repost? EDIT: Nevermind. Removed the [/HIDE] from the link and it worked.
Where is the OTA saved BTW?
Thanks again for all the advise. I may update the OP to outline these in detail.

The ota is saved to /sdcard/downloads
Sorry for the bad link, it should work now

ok you need some apps missing during unlock boot loader process
Which was at data /preload so you have to restore them like sound hound & others
How get these apk
find another HTC One with same software version install es file explorer on that
Open es explorer go to apps manager backup all apps which are HTC made like calculator flash light htc ringtonetrimmer htc sound recorder sound hound use your logic these apps are long name & version then any other apps
copy these apps to your phone data/preload use root explorer now try ota again ( if any error still there note that error & try solving same way)
Or easy & long way S Off your phone
Then just install THIS & try ota for next version & again next version until you get your desired version
from HTC One

Does this require the phone to be rooted? Just so you know, my phone is not rooted.

Facing a similar problem but with system/app/plusone.apk, the sense 5.5 OTA had come in without any issues, only this OTA is getting stuck. I am S-ON, bootloader locked with stock recovery. To use the Guru reset tool, is it necessary to be S-OFF? My s/w version is 4.19.1540.9, there is a 4.3 RUU available on Htc dev site? Can i download it and run the .exe on a computer with my phone being BL locked, stock recovery or we can not downgrade to 4.3 from 4.4.2? I was planning to run the 4.3 .exe ruu and then OTA twice to get sense 6.

you can't downgrade with S-ON using a ruu. This is not required to to be s-off to use guru reset rom but s-off is required for the guru bootloader reset tool. There is also a nandroid backup of 5.11.1540.9 and the signed firmware in the dev edition updates thread, where you have already posted about the same issue. look at page 94

Thanks a lot alray, i did see the tutorial and to use the Guru reset tool, i need to unlock my bootloader, flash TWRP, then flash Guru reset tool and read on screen instructions to flash a stock recovery and firmware. After that, i need to relock the bootloader and check for OTA updates. The guru reset available is 3.22.1540.1 and as you say it does not require S-OFF.
What would be a safer way? To use guru reset tool and then do OTA updates till the latest firmware or install the 5.11.1540.9 firmware, i have absolutely no clue on how to flash stock firmwares, if it is done through custom recoveries or stock recovery.

don't lock bootloader until your work finished you don't need it unlocked bootloader will help you if you got some difficulty / error
Guru rest Rom not required s off but if ota over that version should be same with your current version if not ota will fail for example your current version is 5 you use guru reset rom with version 3 then you will update it with ota version 4 it will fail because S On will not let you flash firmware 4 over 5 so keep that in mind use guru reset with same version of your current version

Darn it, which means i cant use Guru reset as my current version is 4.19.1540.9 and there is no reset tool available for it. Dont want to play around with S-OFF etc as am planning to sell the phone and worried if something might go wrong during the process.
The last option available is to then use a 4.19.1540.9 but one user had said some where that4.xx RUU's are not working.
I tried but could not find a 4.19.1540.9 nandroid backup as well, will try the RUU and if it does not work then maybe wait for htc dev to release 4.4.2 RUU from their end.

Is there any way to do this without rooting?

Why would you want to find a 4.19.1540.9 nandroid backup when I said at post #11 that there is a nandroid backup of 5.11.1540.9 and the 5.11.1540.9 signed firmware in the dev edition updates thread at page 94 (posted by me, users reported both nandroid and firmware working good)
@yatindroid : sorry for hijacking this thread.

Sorry but i have no clue at all on how to use that nandroid backup to update the phone. Do i need to unlock bootloader again, flash twrp and then restore that backup?
What to do with the firmware file?

unlock bootloader
flash twrp 2.6.3.3
boot phone in recovery
make a backup of ''Boot'' only (this is only to generate a backup path on your phone)
when completed, reboot phone in the OS, connected on your computer
browse your internal storage, go to TWRP/Backups/Your_Phone_serial/Some_date/
delete files in this folder (these are the file backed up previously to generate the backup path above)
extract the 5.11.1540.9 backup archive and copy all the files in the backup folder (previously generated) of your phone (TWRP/Backups/Your_Phone_serial/Some_date/) should have around 11 files (some .win .md5 files and a .log)
go back in twrp, select ''restore'' , select ''some_date'' folder, select all the partitions and swipe to restore
after the restore is completed, in twrp go to ''wipe'' then ''swipe to factory reset'' do not ''format data'' or ''advanced wipe''
reboot phone in the OS
if you want to update the firmware after restoring the backup:
relock bootloader
reboot bootloader
flash the firmware
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot oem flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot oem flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
flashing firmware can be dangerous so be sure you understand what you are doing first, there is a lot of threads here explaining how to flash firmware.

if you have any other question please pm me, open another thread or post in the dev update thread so it will be easier for @yatindroid and @viv_1980 to continue troubleshooting viv_1980's issue.
there is also another thread that discuss the exact same issue you are having ''unexpected content'' of /system/app/plusone.apk on 4.19.1540.9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53381299
Maybe you could try what I said in that thread before messing with backups and firmware.

Problem solved
Thanks a ton to @alray, @yatindroid and @SaHiLzZ, i finally downloaded the 4.19.1540.9 RUU from Android ruu, connected to windows 7, used the .exe file and it smoothly flashed the stock firmware. After it, updated OTA to sense 6 and this time the update went smoothly and my M7 is now updated to sense 6. It is completely stock now, will easily get OTA updates in future and i wanted to set things right before selling it off so that the future owner does not face issues with the phone, not every one is a member of Xda .
Thanks guys

[Q] how to update os

I have htc one m7 i had it rooted s-off and than unlocked with java card.
I have notification about update from htc (left the phone with original rom on it)
I accept to update it downloads the update than reboots my phone in recovery but there nothing happends it gives me options to browse the content of the phone whipe dalvik cashe etc.
I am currently running android kitkat 4.4.2 original htc rom with htc sense 5
I have hboot 1.56
Should i install zip manualy from there?
if i do that will it brick my phone? will i loose unlock that i made with java card ?

Are you on a custom recovery? You need to flash the stock recovery for your firmware to accept ota updates. It will not mess with your secure flag or lock status by updating. At least it shouldn't.

When you do any ota, you still lose root. Ota needs stock recovery to work. Check santod's thread on recoveries, firmwares and such thread. It has links and instructions

Firmware update problems after rooting

Hey , im new to rooting and the forums so sorry if somethings are not properly explained.
I recently managed to root my uk variant m7 unlocked to any service with the latest twrp recovery.
I have recently found the venom rom which i would like to install to futher customize my rooted device, but i need to upgrade my android to 5.0.2 and i am currently on 4.2.2.
in the toolbar it says 'system update avaliable' and after installing it says 'system update ready' and im guessing this will bring me to 5.0.2 firmware. after clicking on it it reboots my phone and for some reason enters the recovery. from this point i do not know what to do.
so to summarise, i need to upgrade my m7 from 4.2.2 to 5.0.2 nut when i do it enters my twrp recovery and i do not know what to do
system details:
HTC One M7 UK variant unlocked to any service
rooted with SuperSU
Stock rom (4.2.2)
Stock kernel
Thanks

after clicking on it it reboots my phone and for some reason enters the recovery.

You can't update your phone in its current status. You need stock recovery installed, unmodified /system files and /data/preload which is deleted during the htcdev bootloader unlock process. You'll probably need to use a RUU or something else.
system details:
HTC One M7 UK variant unlocked to any service
rooted with SuperSU
Stock rom (4.2.2)
Stock kernel

Unfortunately, this is not really relevant info, post the output of "fastboot getvar all" command, remove your IMEI # before posting.

so i have to unroot my phone
great this is going to take a while :/
if i factory reset my phone will it remove the bootloader and root?

What? You might want to read about what a bootloader is
A device without a booloader is called a paperweight
and root?

A factory reset only wipes user data. Root files are stored in /system partition which is not affected by a factory reset so short answer no, like I said you'll probably need a RUU or something else (stock odex rom/nandroid backup/guru reset rom) to reset your phone back to stock. Post the output of "fastboot getvar all"

Its possible to download the update elsewhere and install it through twrp recovery?
If yes, where i can find these updates in zip form?
If not, what's the simple option to install the update?
thanks

If your phone is S-off, you can download the Ota zip files and install them incrementally (can't skip a version) using stock recovery. That doesn't change the fact that all files in /system and /data/preload must be unmodified.
Imo, the simplest way to update if your phone isn't stock is with a RUU. If your phone is stock, reflash stock recovery and update with Ota, if it's stock and soff you can update with Ota zip files if you can find all the ones you need.
