i recieved several times a message saying that i have to install a security update (at&t), after some time i decided to install it but when i try to i get a status 7, another thing what do i need to install a custom rom on my arix hd, it has android 4.1 from at&t, unlocked bootloader, cwm, and carrier unlocked (i dont want to loose this), in my touchpad i just have to download the rom + gapss and install them from a custom recover, so i dont know if this is the same for the atrix hd, thanks in advance.
You need to be running stock recovery and stock ROM to install the update.
The update includes security patches and some modem updates. This update may be necessary for taking the OTA KK update.

ok thanks for answering, i have stock rom so, but unlocked bootloader can i install it then just by installing the stock recovery?
You may need to be unrooted in addition to having stock recovery.
If you removed too many of the att apps, that may cause the update to fail as well.

Did you phone take the update or is it automatically booting into recovery?
The best way to get the update is to flash back to stock ATT 4.1.1, take the OTA update, re-install CWM, and carry on using a custom ROM. This is exactly what I did with a Bell Canada Atrix HD.
You can try re-installing stock recovery in fastboot.

Yeah. The quickest, sure-fire way to get in a position to take the OTA update is to flash back to stock (stock files available here). You can use RSD or MythTools, whatever works for you. Doing this will also put you back on stock recovery.
I had to do this, too, before I could take the OTA. But in my case I had modified/removed too many AT&T stock apps...
thanks to both of you, yes the phone rebooted itself like about 40 secs from turning on i was able to fix this part by formatting cache from cwm, now im gonna try to flash stock recovery

Blur_Version.98.4.20.MB886.ATT.en.US is the one that my phone already had
I think that is the ROM before the update.
I see another ROM named Blur_Version.98.5.38.MB886.ATT.en.US too.

I got a Bell Canada Atrix HD from a co-worker. When I used Myth to flash from stock Bell to stock ATT, it would not work properly. When I used RSD with 98.4.20 without going through Myth, the ATT ROM flashed without any errors. I was able to take the OTA update, flash CWM, and revert to a custom ROM.

When there is one available it will be posted in the android development forum.
but if you are impatient... try Blandroid 2.3.4... it's AOSP-based, rooted and 99% stock... http://blandroid.org/downloads
Geo411m usually posts a nice near stock custom ROM based on each release. If you watch the development forum for this username I bet you'll see one pop-up soon after the N1 specific code is officially available. I've used them before with good results and there is a theme post with nice themes made specifically for Geo's ROMs.

Backup ask your data with Titanium.
Passimg back to stock, and update to 2.3.4.
fastboot flash recovery.
Use recovery to install ChainsDD's su.
Restore your Titanium backup...
Blandroid is very good. It contains even my local language, so it's even better than stock from Google. Can be installed as stock replacement.
Flash FR91, Go into HBOOT and flash the stock recovery, start up, force checkin and let it update ( you only have 1 chance at this if you screw up you'd have to do the whole thing again ).
Download SU.zip and flash from recovery.
There you go you have 2.3.4 stock with root.

Yeah? I'm not sure if that's the way you say it but hboot flash recovery recovery.img ?
Or is it called bootloader...
That would be fastboot, not hboot.
Why would you want a stock recovery, and how do you plan on flashing the su.zip with a stock recovery?
My bad, I keep on getting confused with G1.
If you do not have stock recovery, it will not flash the OTA update from 2.2 to 2.3.3 then 2.3.4. After the sequence is done you can go back into fastboot and flash a custom recovery. After that you can flash SU.zip
You can flash an update from any recovery, just turn the signature verification off...
Do-it-yourself way....
1. Get 2.3.4 system dump from here, and Android Kitchen here.(If your OS is Windows, you will need to install modified Cygwin to use it)
2. Cook the system dump files with Android Kitchen.
3. ?
4. Now you have rooted 'stock' 2.3.4 package that can be flashed on custom recovery!

But this is an ota update. Mine did not flash. It went back into recovery after downloading the ota update but it will not flash.
You can flash OTAs through any recovery, just turn the signature verification off. I've done it many times, including the update 2.3.4...

Then I must have done something wrong then. All mine did was boot back into recovery and stay there without flashing anything. I still made it work though.
HTC Pushed an update to my HTC One Dev Ed tonight..
1.29.1540.16
When it tries to flash the update it just goes into TWRP recovery. No other actions.
I then drilled down to the directory that it downloaded to /data/media/downloads and tried to flash with TWRP.. no dice.
Here is the update.. but honestly I don't know what it does.
any Idea on what is preventing the flash?

You must go back to stock recovery in order for the update to successfully flash on your device.
You don't need the update from HTC, just go and flash the latest revolution 10.2 rom, it is running 4.2.2 and it has some nice performance tweaks. And it isn't modified so it's running sense 5.

For some of us, going to a different ROM is not a viable choice, and frankly a solution to load a different ROM does not answer the original question.
Hi I have the same problem here.
When I try to install stock 4.2.2, the phone reboot & automatically enter TWRP & thus stock update was unable to run.

None of the HTC direct updates will work while TWRP is installed.
you will have to
Fastboot flash (stock recovery .img)
then the updated from HTC works with no problems. pst if you can't find the img

Do you have the stock recovery or is it custom. You have to be on stock ROM and stock Recovery in order to OTA. You may lose root, but being rooted will not affect the OTA installing.
Ah, that may be the problem. I have TWRP installed, so does that mean that I'll have to flash a rom that's been updated?
Thanks!

You have to flash stock recovery at least. Some people were having luck just flashing the stock recovery and some were having to relock the bootloader as well. I tried flashing the stock recovery and running the update but it failed. I don't really want to relock my bootloader and lose all my data when I unlock it again, so I'm holding off for now.

To clear something up -- does your phone boot after flashing a fastboot? If no, you need to format the internal sd and change it's mount point to /data/media (use Philz CWM to do all that) -- that's a common error after downgrading from a 4.2+ rom to a 4.1.2- rom.

Yep, just boot into recovery and make nandroid backup saved to the external sd before you flash anything (you risk wiping it accidentally if stored to the internal sd). That way if anything goes wrong all you have to do is boot into recovery and restore your backup.

If you flashed a different recovery like TWRP then you'll have to use that again.. Have you rooted the phone before? If so, you probably have to flash stock firmware files one by one in Odin including flashing the recovery.

Since you've rooted the phone I'm gonna say the easiest way to fix this right now is to re-flash TWRP and download a rom that one of the devs on here have created and push it to the phone and use TWRP to flash it.. This is the best way for now since you are going to need a LOT more information and a better understanding of how to fully remove the root access because you cannot run a stock rom while rooted.. After you at least get it going then read around on here and you'll find all the answers and ways to fix things by those of us who've already been in your spot.
