HTC One original rom on root device update problem

...guys I was looking around, but couldn't find answer for my little problem. I have rooted HTC One, but rom is stock (didn't plan to change it at all just needed root), but the problem is today a new update came up, and when I tried to install it, it simple didn't do anything.
I go on Install now, phone restarts in recovery mode, then it gives me Installation aborted, and I have 3 thingies, - No; - Yes - Disable recovery flash: - +++++Go Back+++++
Whatever I choose, it just restarts and asks again for same recovery. What shall I do?
In console stands this:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.4
E: Invalid command argument
E: Invalid command argument
Warning: No file_contexts
Finding update package...
E: unknown volume for path [DATA:data/cp,/amdrpod_HTC_Europe_2.24.401.8-2.24.401.1_release_331108tottoh71qygw07hf.zip]

It seems that it cannot mount or something?!?

Is there a way to update my phone now?

re
is it enough to put in cmd throuhg adb the "fastboot oem lock" command, since my rom is already stock?
Or do I need to flash stock recovery?

...ah, I knew it. I presume that stock recovery can't be flashed from custom recovery.
So I need to flash stock recovery, then to lock bootloader, and then I guess I'm good to go!?!
Can I flash it from custom recovery, or do I need to flash it differently? Anyone has link for it, or are all stock recoveries same (I mean from different providers)?
Thanks

You need to install stock recovery using fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Install stock recovery like I said above, once done type the following :- "fastboot oem lock"
You should be good to go then for the update. Re-locking your bootloader doesn't wipe your files either, only unlocking wipes the internal storage.

...OK, so here is what I did. From ADB restored the original recovery.img, then lock bootloader, and viola. Thanks guys for helping me out.
Cheers...
Edit: ...I forgot to uninstall SuperSU, and now I have a shortcut in apps and it cannot be removed. When I run it, phone says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a Problem!" ...lolz me, what to do?

What is all this about S-Off and HTCDev ... You unlock your bootloader through HTCDev, S-Off is NOT something that can be done any other way than Revone and Moonshine and NOT on Hboot 1.54 ... Yet.
I've seen several people mention S-Off and HTCDev in the same breath and I think some of you are getting it all mixed up. Unlocking the bootloader and going S-Off are not the same thing and only unlocking the bootloader can be done through the HTCDev website.
I'm pretty sure HTC aren't going to help you remove the security from your device.

I stand corrected you are correct I had soff before that's why I guess it wasn't reset after update

Original recovery and lock oem doesn't help.
Lads,
Would someone give me a hand here please.
There is a major update for HTC One.
I've flashed original recovery and locked back the phone.
Now it's downloading the update, then goes into reboot and opens fastboot bootloader, instead of installing the update.
What am i doing wrong here?
Thanks in advances

Hi,
I have the same problem as OP.
However the instructions in the replies are terribly confusing, I don't even know where to start!
Someone could do a step-by-step summary for less expert (or just android-retarded) people ?
Thanks a lot!

further to my post above

You need to be on stock recovery. Figure that out and you should be good.

Looking at the various guides somehow related to stock recovery doesn't make sense to me.
There's too many things I am not aware of such as how to flash the stock recovery, if the process will wipe all data, what is a fastboot command etc. etc. Has anybody ever created an easy guide to assess the problem?

I have HBOOT 1.54 and S-OFF with rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0

For the sake of common knowledge and in case it may help other unknowing people like me, I'll post what I did here:
I sort of mixed these two guides: this one and this.
Premise:
A. It was impossible to make this whole thing run on my Win8.1 x64 computer. It would never recognize my Fastboot USB device plugged in. I had to use bloody WINXP x86 on my old-ass netbook....
B. Somehow I still had my fastboot/adb compiled folder that I used back in time to root my HTC at first.
C. My phone was Tampered, Unlocked, with HBOOT (i think 1.44 ?) and most definitely S-OFF I would say ? Still don't know for sure.
D. I updated from 4.1.2 through 4.2 to 4.3.
At the 4.2 upgrade the phone went on black screen twice (1st time at ~25%, and 2nd time after 100% was complete). Panic is useless in that case. I went to the bathroom, blasted the strongest lights I had and exposing the phone to the lights, I pressed the power button til the capacitative buttons blinked. After a while the phone rebooted and resumed exactly from the point it blacked out before.
The update to 4.3 went smooth as oil instead.
This is each step I did, following the quoted guides above:
1. Extract the stock recovery file (should be .img) that can be found in the OTA update firmware.zip file, in the firmware package (in some other thread it's explained the path of this file). Place the file in the folder with your fastboot commands.
2. Make sure fastboot and USB Debugging are unchecked on your phone in power settings>fastboot.
3. Power down phone by holding power button and pressing shut down.
4. Once phone is shut down, power phone into bootloader by holding volume down button and pressing power button.
5. Once in the bootloader navigate until it says fastboot usb (must have phone connected to computer).
6. Open up a command prompt where your fastboot commands are located.
7. Type the following with the filename of the stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
8. Navigate in the bootloader menu to the reboot option to restart your phone.
9. Download the latest SuperSU and place it on your sdcard.
10. Perform the OTA update normally.
11. Once it finishes installing, power down the phone like before and get back to fastboot usb.
12. Flash back the custom recovery using fastboot (I used latest CWM available):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
or
Code:
fastboot flash zip <recovery>.zip
13. Then type :
Code:
fastboot reboot
14. Enter recovery by navigating with the volume buttons. Once in recovery, flash the zip of the SuperSU file you previously downloaded.
15. Restart once flashing is complete.

S-Off and root

I would like to root my phone and keep it stock as much as possible.
After reading, it seems that I could S-Off then root (I would like to avoid unlocking my phone with HTCDev). Now it seems that I need to flash a recovery to be able to root. Is it? Otherwise how could I do it without the recovery?
Thanks!

you can fastboot boot the recovery and then flash root. That way you stay stock while still having root.

Your information is a little off. Most root methods don't involve installing the su binary separately from your superuser app. You should also learn how to use fastboot, as suggested above.
You will need to have a recovery image (most people use TWRP), and a root zip (most people are using SuperSU's zips these days, you can find them in the root guides around this forum). Download the root zip to your phone before you do anything else.
You need to boot your phone into fastboot mode (restart the phone, then hold VOL UP/VOL DOWN and POWER), and then with the phone plugged into your computer, run:
fastboot boot /path/to/recovery.img
That will boot your phone once into a custom recovery. From here, depending on the recovery you're using (most will use TWRP), you can hit the appropriate install option, navigate to wherever you downloaded your root ZIP, and then flash that. Reboot the phone, and you'll be rooted, and the one-time recovery will be gone.

Where did I go wrong?

Okay, so I have an HK m8 on sprint, FW 1.54.654.13.
I was originally on Viper 1.8.0, but wanted to upgrade to 2.0.0, so I went back to my stock backup, with the aforementioned software version.
After restoring that backup I realized I needed to also flash a stock recovery in order to take the OTA. So I flashed the 'Stock Recovery From 1.54.651.8 OTA' over adb from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736048
So, since flashing that recovery my phone seems to not have a recovery anymore; infact, it constantly reboots after about 1 minute of being booted to system. When I boot into recovery, I get a symbol of a phone with an "!" in a triangle over it.
Where did I go wrong? What recovery should I be using? I can re-flash TWRP, but it seems I still get the bootloop, even though it does actually boot into system (which I've never seen happen from a bootloop). It's been like this for 12+ hours, and no amount of searching has helped me out thus far, so I'm hoping someone here could help me out a little.

This is stock recovery
You could pull the stock recovery from the HK firmware...hopefully that will get you back to normal.
Worse comes to worse run the RUU.

I do not have the recovery.img in my backup. I'm also not S-off, so I think the only way I can upgrade my firmware is through OTA from what I understand, correct? If I could just flash the proper stock recovery I think I would be fine from there?

Alright, thanks! Can I go ahead and RUU 2.22.401.4 directly, or should I just RUU to my current stock firmware and just OTA from there?

Yes, I am aware. But on 1.8.0 I did not get an OTA. Maybe because I'll get it after I upgrade my FW. So after RUUing then reinstalling TWRP, if I restore my viper 1.8.0 backup, I can just OTA to 2.0.0?

I tried flashing the full Rom per your suggestion, but after flashing the 2.0.0 Rom, it's like my phone has no OS and can only boot to bootloader or recovery, not system at all.
I also tried extracting the latest hk ruu to the root of my external SD card and running it through bootloader to no avail.
I feel like I'm missing a vital part of information here. I've never really ruu'd before so I'm new to that but I'm pretty stumped on this whole thing.

get the drivers for your phone + adb, rename the firmware update to firmware.zip, put it in /sdk/platform-tools
put the phone in fastboot, make sure it says fastboot USB and type fastboot devices in terminal to confirm it's connected.
then type in terminal Fastboot oem rebootRUU (capitalization matters.)
your screen will go black with a greyish HTC logo, then type in fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
once it's done doing it's thing type fastboot reboot
this method is pretty much failproof
EDIT: also, if you're flashing ONLY the sprint 2.0.0 update, you'll have to be on capt's twrp 2.7.0.7, otherwise you'll have to flash the full rom, boot into it, reboot into 2.7.1.0, and dirty flash the sprint viper ROM. Hope that helps, cheers >;3

Thanks for the reply! From my understanding, you need to be S-Off for that method, which I am not.
The method I attempted to use is this one, from O.M.J's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
using 7zip, extract 0P6BIMG.zip to ext sd card
-boot into bootloader
-make sure*hboot*is highlighted, press power button
-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update
-press volume up & let it do it's thing...
The problem is, it scans my external SD card just fine but never asks if I want to start the update, nor do I get the option to press volume up etc... I am on captains twrp 2.7.0.7, as I've seen many other users confirm success with this recovery.
Also, I don't see just an update, it seems the Sprint version of the Rom I downloaded is the full rom. I actually did get it to boot once and got this (see screenshot), but it was a dirty flash.

download the full one and the sprint one, flash the first, reboot all the way (doubt you have to finish the automatic setup) then reboot into recovery and dirty flash the sprint one without wiping anything. It'll connect to the CDMA network instead of the GSM one with no problems, you don't even need to be on 2.7.0.7
And if it isn't working in HBOOT just go into recovery and adb sideload it, you shouldn't need to be s-off to do that. Enter adb sideload and just type in a terminal adb sideload (filename)
EDIT: idk why but that picture made me lol irl, KEEP CALM AND KANG AWAY

Alright giving that a shot now, thanks
That message is hilarious to me now, but it wasn't at the time xD
Edit: is it safe to dirty flash the first one, coming from 1.8.0? Also no, I haven't relocked my boot loader.

Ahhh, okay makes sense now. My m7 was s-off and that was the first and last time I ever did a RUU. If I re-lock the boot loader, do I have to go through htcdev again to unlock once more, or will having it locked again not effect root?

Welcome to xda!
Since your bootloader is already unlocked, then all you need to do is to flash a custom recovery like TWRP.
With the recovery.img in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot and your phone booted in bootloader/fastboot usb mode, open a command prompt and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then reboot in recovery mode by selecting "recovery" in the bootloader. Once booted in TWRP recovery, just select to reboot to system and the recovery will detect that your phone isn't rooted and will ask if you want to root it. Select "yes". Then once rebooted in the OS, you should have supersu in your app drawer.
Don't forget sprint variant of the One isn't the same phone as the international gsm variant so always flash files (Custom recovery/ custom roms/ Custom kernel) compatible for sprint (M7WLS sometime called M7SPR)

You'll maybe not be able to update. When you unlock the bootloader, /data/preload and its content is wiped (some of HTC preloaded apps, weather animations etc). These apps are sometime updated during an ota update and if they are missing, like after unlocking the bootloader. the ota installation will fail. You also need to flash your stock recovery back before an ota update.

You'll loose root. All you have to do is to root again after the ota update.

They will still be installed but they won't work, or at least, there functions requiring root will not work.

So you have backed up /data/preload before unlocking?

Any alternative to twrp, it seems like a lot of people are having problems with it.

TWRP is the preferred recovery of M7 but you can also use CWM

Should I go with the latest version of 2.8, or do you suggest a eilear version?

if you are only going to root and not flashing rom then use any version you want, the latest should be fine. If you want to flash a custom rom, use the recovery mentioned in the rom OP.

the steps to get it rooted are
unlock bootloader at htcdev.com
download TWRP 2.6.3.3 http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery and exit and choose install SuperSU on exit
bootup phone, go to app drawer and choose SuperSU, it will ask to update, let it update and choose TWRP for install. this will reboot the phone.
You now have a new phone with custom recovery and Root.

I already do that, i use cwm after i check in root checker. Result no root access.

omg, read carefully please. I won't post it a 3rd time: clsA told you to do this procedure below to root but it won't work with twrp 2.6.3.3 since the included su binaries in 2.6.3.3 are to old and won't work on android 5.0.2 so you need to use twrp 2.8.6.0 instead:

You said that you can't flash TWRP (for an unknown reason, you did not specified why...) so the above solution doesn't apply since you need twrp.

Option #2:

so go ahead download latest superu.zip and flash it from recovery. simple. Download the zip on your phone, boot in recovery and flash it. Can't be more precise its all you need to do

My phone is already rooted thanks sir alray. Whats the best rom for nba2k15?
