Hello,
Let me start by just saying that I'm very new to the whole rooting and android development scene and I'm.sorry in advance if this question is noobish. Anyway I have an at&t HTC one m7 that I unlocked the bootloader on, flashed twrp and rooted. The device was working fine no issues ,recently there was an ota update that my brother got for his all stock m7. So I flashed an img of the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader in hopes of having the update install. I know it would remove my root access but I didn't mind that .
Anyway now my device is telling me there is no more ota updates available.
This is odd because I tried to do the update before changing anything back a nd it got stuck when twrp launched .so there is an update available.
Is this normal or is something wrong? thanks!
Edit, i cant words

Hi there,
I have a similar problem, so didnt want to open a new thread...
I'm not very clever with these things - so please bear with me.
My SXL is rooted and (boot) unlocked but I havent installed any custom firmware. I also got the OTA update today, but when I try to do it, it gets stuck on a picture of chinese writing (green) and the website:
bbs.anzhi.com
I originally intended on getting ICS via custom rom but I'm not thinking that the official one may be what I'm looking for - so how do I go about fixing this?
Thanks in advance!
For some reason I just cannot get it to install. I was unlocked and rooted with custom recovery but I've gone back to stock recovery, unrooted and relocked the bootloader and even done a full factory reset. I've tried to download the OTA 4.2.2 update multiple times but each and every time the update hangs at around 35-40% on the stock recovery screen.
My HTC One is from O2 UK but is unbranded and originally had a generic International ROM on it.
Any ideas how I can remedy this?
Same with me.... I did s off and ran the RUU for my phone.... All was well and ota was done successfully..... Bcoz even u put stock recovery and stuff, there are few files missing / changed, which prevent the ota to happen...

Hi guys,
I'm wondering if someone can help me please. I attempted to root my phone a few months back, not knowing it can't be done on HBOOT 1.54 so ended up flashing Clockwork Mod recovery to the phone (now says TAMPERED)
I got the alert come through to my phone when 4.3 became available, but when downloading it fine, it won't install. It boots into CW recovery and an error saying 'operation aborted' appears very quickly and the phone reboots back into how it was originally before downloading the update.
Does anyone know why this is? Ideally, i'd like to scrap the CWmod and get back to how it was before (like factory etc)
I also can't seem to get my desktop to recognise my phone, I think it's a driver issue, does anyone have drivers for Windows 8?
I have a UK Vodafone contract HTC One.
Please can someone help!
Thanks
You need stock recovery to flash OTA.
You can probably S-Off with rumrunner.
Hey,
So I was going to update my Phone to 4.4 KitKat.. This is a AT&T Phone. I've tried to update the phone twice through the check for updates section on the phone and both time it failed with this error message.
The phone was previously rooted and then the rooting was broken by an AT&T update so although I still get the Custom message when the phone boots up it's not rooted currently.. Do I have to roll this phone back to a unrooted version of the Firmware before I can do the update? If so can someone point me in a direction for instructions on doing that?
Thanks
Yes, from what I understand you have to go back to stock, or flash a leak.
I have my Sprint HTC One m8 and I'd like to update to ViperOne ROM 3.1.0
I was using ViperOne 1.8.0, but to install the new version I need to get things back to stock so I can get all the OTA's up to the most recent update, and then flash the new ViperOne.
I've gotten this far and now I'm stuck...
Flashed Sprint_HTC_One_M8_1.54.651.8_RUU and now it boots into the stock no problem. Flashed the stock recovery here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736048 . When I start the phone it recognizes there is an update, but when it tries to install it, the process quits about a quarter of the way through, it gives off the red ! with triangle, then eventually reboots back into android. I feel like I'm missing a step here somewhere, not sure why the stock recovery doesnt work. I can flash back and forth from the stock recovery and twrp, and twrp works. I have access to fastboot if needed.
General specs of the phone as I believe they still are...
S-Off (htc unlock)
Rooted
1.54.651.8 Stock rom
hboot 3.16.00 (i flashed some mod a long time ago to hide the red development message you'd get)
Anything else you need?

If you're S-off, no.
You might want to take a look at the thread in the link below. It pretty much covers what you have to do to take the OTA. Since you're S-off, why not install the firmware for the latest update and then flash a ROM based off the latest update? Much simpler than having to go through all the steps you're going through.

yeah, i was trying to update via methods that were a couple weeks old, which of course are old.... lol
I installed the latest ROM from sprint, then install ViperOne on top of it, going through the install right now. Wifi is working so I guess the firmware updated correctly.
Thanks
