[Q]Where to get Stock HTC one recovery?

Hello,
I get my new HTC One (Not branded) yesterday, and as all my previous HTC's I want to root it.
I have unlocked it and I'm reasdy to flash a new recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-m7ul.img is this one is good?).
After rooting I want to restore stock recovery so after I can get OTA updates and use OTA root keeper.
Where can I get the stock recovery?
I'have searched htc one thread and I can only find stock recovery for Tmobile...
If anyone can enlight me?

what's your firmware version? you don't need to have 100% stock recovery, just "close enough" for OTAs to work, in case it's not very close, it may not reboot by itself during installation, and you'll have to manually reboot the phone for installation to continue.

cool, just remember, do NOT even attempt to go s-on on that version, after a few reboots, it will come up with "tamper detected - rebooting", and the TAMPERED will be back

[Q] Where is the OTA update stored?

Hi All,
I have an ATT m7 that I'm running on GPE 4.4 (build KTR16S) with TWRP and the bulletproof kernel.
I'm getting notifications for the 4.4.2 update, and I'd like to install it, but obviously with TWRP installed, it can't automate the update process. So, a few questions:
1) Is it okay for me to manually install the update after locating it from my own recovery?
2) Where is the update stored, so that I can track it down within TWRP to flash?
Thanks guys!

you can't flash ota updates with twrp. only stock recovery. like mb_guy said, the ota are stored in the ''downloads'' folder. When you apply the ota, the file is deleted automatically.
You can manually flash ota updates from stock recovery. Move the ota.zip to android/obb. boot phone in stock recovery, select ''apply from phone storage'' ---> /obb --> your ota.zip

For some reason the update is in the /cache/ directory instead of in the downloads directory.
How do I switch to the standard recovery? Do I need to reflash the entire ROM or is there another flashable file?

you can flash stock recovery the same way you flashed custom recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
you must flash the stock recovery that match your firmware version which you can find with a:
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Thanks for the help guys. I spent way too long trying to figure out how to get my computer to recognize my phone while in fastboot so I could get the main version number.
I finally was able to figure that out, but I'm not seeing my version (1.26.502.10) on the page.
Are any of the other recoveries usable? Or does this mean that I would have to go back to stock ATT, take the OTA update ATT was pushing a loong time ago, and then re-root to then flash a GE rom?

There is a rom dump here. once downloaded, you should be able to extract the stock recovery from there.

It looks like he's pulled the 1.26.502.10 rom - know of any other places it might be? Most of the 502.10 roms I'm seeing now are pre-rooted.

I can only find pre-rooted roms two. however, if the rom has the SuperSU installed, you can do a full unroot from the SuperSU settings

Ah - nevermind - just found out it won't reinstall the stock recovery, which means the OTA update won't stick anyway. Looks like the only way is the long way.

If you unzip the OTA the stock recovery should be in there..

[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?

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

just flash the RUU I posted in your other thread, it will make you full stock 5.0.2
there is alot more to it than just removing TWRP recovery, trust me, the above is the easiest way.
your way:
1. un-root
2. copy and restore a full stock backup of your current rom.
3. locate and flash vodafone pre-load data
4. flash stock recovery or firmware
5. update
my way:
1 flash the stock RUU

All done, thank you very much for your help

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

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.

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"

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.
