Can't seem to revert to stock recovery - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have a bell m7. Because of this I can't simply use an RUU I have a stock rom 4..19.666.8 which is sense 5.5 android 5.3.
I've tried to S-OFF several times to no avail. firewater says that It wont work on my device. I also have tried to flash stock recoveries to be able to do the OTA and it fails after about half way with the red triangle. I'm assuming this is because of a miss matched recovery and software versions.
Any ideas?

Your bootloader is unlocked correct?

when you are in stock recovery, press volume up then power and you will see which assert is failing during the ota update installation.

If you are unlocked usually the reason is because it deletes some of the apps on your phone. The OTA's want it fully stock so if it's missing any of them it will fall over. Find out what files are missing. Then you just need to copy those apps from at OTA file for your software version which you should be able to find online

It turns out it was the user apps, but now it's saying '/data/preload/HtcRingtoneTrimer.apk has unexpected contents'
I've tried a few different versions, any ideas?

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.

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.

4.3 Uograde kernel issue.

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.

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.

Did you relock the bootloader? If you want to use OTA's, bootloader has to be locked in order for it to install.

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.

[Q] [SOLVED] Unlocked/Rooted with S-On want OTA

I would like to install the AT&T OTA of 4.4.2 but have a custom recovery and am unable to upgrade. I am rooted with the stock 4.3 ROM and have the twrp recovery installed. I have S-ON. I've searched around trying to find a way to get this to work but can't seem to figure it out. I've tried looking around for an AT&T 4.3 stock recovery to try and flash it but can't seem to find one. The one from the Dev sticky page is not available for download. Can someone detail the steps I have to perform to get the 4.4.2 OTA from AT&T. Thanks in advance.
[SOLVED]
OK, problem fixed and 4.4.2 installed from OTA. I had relocked the bootloader on my phone so... start from scratch. Steps to resolve
1 - Unlock Bootloader
2 - Get S-Off on device (Makes everything easier). I used Firewater (http://firewater-soff.com)
3 - Flash the AT&T 3.17.502.3 (4.3) RUU from here (http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/). You may need a different one if not on AT&T
4 - Start phone, check for update. Let it download. Cake.
Now off to redo all the settings on my phone. Hope this helps someone else.

It doesn't give me an error. The OTA downloads, reboots and gets to a triangle with the green arrows inside and starts installing, then about 25% of the way it stops and goes to a red triangle. I'm thinking the MD5 to one of my files may be failing. I installed an edit to the framework sometime ago to get the hotspot working (that's the only change to the stock rom I've made). It doesn't really give me an error message though.
It could be the issue. You will need to choose one of the few options:
1. Restore a stock ATT OS for the same version you have (4.3) and update again
2. S-OFF (Preferred to avoid future messy bricks) and reinstall old ATT RUU and then upgrade all the way without custom rom/rooting/firmware changes
3. Wait for someone to post a custom rom install of the new ATT 4.4 update and install that.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. I think I'm gonna go with option 2, depending on how much time I have to do this, or 3 if time is an issue. Just one more question for you. Is firewater the best method to get S-Off or do you recommend a different one?

It could be because I flashed the recovery that came with the OTA with fastboot and then after SaHiLzZ pointed me in the right direction was able to download the 4.3 recovery but flashed that one with flashify. I bet you the one I did with flashify didn't take. Funny thing is I also relocked my bootloader and now must unlock it again and that will probably wipe my device. What a mess, oh well, I hope that's all it is and at least I'm learning as I go.

Until you have the stock recovery ...you can install the update when it is pushed
As you've stated that you phone is rooted then you might've flashed TWRP or CWM to do it so
flash back the stock recovery of your model and you are good to go...

You need the stock recovery that match your fw version. I.e if you are on 3.23.666.1 then you need the recovery from this version.
Here is a collection of stock recovery. If you can't find yours, you can extract the recovery.img from the previous ota. The recovery packed in the upcoming ota update might also work.
my software number now says 4.19.666.8. im as up to date as i can be through bell so if i flash an old recovery will it cause problems? or will i just get an OTA update to bring it back to the latest version

you'll probably have to restore these app if you want to update. The ota updater script md5 check these apps. If they are not on your phone, the ota installation will probably fail because of MD5 mismatch.
See this post from arhd if you want more details
Ota update will not apply until and unless you have pure stock rom.
e.g. If your phone is pure stock you unlock its bootloader it will remove some apps which are installed in preload. Now if you relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery the ota update will not be applied as during flashing ota update check for these apps whether they are installed in preload or not. For ota updates to applied succesfully you need to run RUU of your model then flash ota.

the whole not being able to s-off with hboot 1.56 is a bit of a pain. ive tried rumrunner and firewater with no luck.

Then you didn't flash stock recovery... Either the recovery you flashed was not stock, or you didn't flash it right.
Now that I think about it after the flash it didn't do anything so I had to hold the power for 10 seconds. After that I panicked and just reverted back to my nandroid from that morning.

Yes it will wipe your phone just like it came from the factory, so backup anything important to your PC.
Yes there a HK RUU's and non HK RUU's in the thread I linked.
You can download the RUU directly from HTC:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/
It is located at the bottom of the page. But you might want to wait a few days and download the Lollipop RUU when it releases. It will replace the current KK version once approved and FOTA is pushed out.

Here are some things to try.
Did you re-lock your bootloader?
Try a different USB port (USB2 work best)
Try a different PC.
To get back to bootloader press power vol up until the screen turns black then hold vol down.
If you know how to use adb/fastboot commands you can open a cmd and type
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Here are some things to try.
Did you re-lock your bootloader?
Try a different USB port (USB2 work best)

I did not re lock my bootloader. I tried a different usb port, with no luck. I don't have another PC to try it with. What should I do to at least get my phone working in the meantime? even if it isn't stock? Can I just flash a rom through recovery?

If you are s-on you have to re-lock the bootloader for it to work.
You should be able to flash a rom thru recovery.
