Hello everyone. I have been using the information from xda developers since the att tilt came out to configure my phones, a lot has changed since then. I'm now using HTC one sprint version and have unlocked bootloader and installed supersu (superuser first but saw it was not for android 4.1+ so found supersu) and root checker says my device is not rooted. I looked over all the videos on YouTube but still cannot figure out what I did wrong. Can someone please help me? This is my first attempt to root by the way. Been at it for two days now.

you have to install a custom recovery(TWRP 2.6.3.0 or CWM) THEN FLASH SUPERSU through recovery. you can't just install in though the market.a zip file not an apk or image file

Thanks for the reply! That lets me know I posted correctly. So I did install custom recovery, clockworkmod and I did the unzip from sd option. The phone updates and I reboot but still not rooted. I will try again right now and write everything down.

Just tried again in clockwork recovery touch v6.0.3.3 I went to install zip, choose zip from sdcard, UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41/ which is the folder it's in. After that phone loads saying update UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41/ finding update package. Followed by opening update package and then installing update. It says mounting, disabling OTA survival, removing old files, creating space, extracting files, restoring files, setting permissions and ending with unmounting then done. Now my android version is 4.3 and I previously unzipped through recovery superuser no supersu but uninstalled it because superuser I had said only good for android 2.0-4.0 . My hboot is 1.55 and my phone says m7_wls pvt ship s-on rh if that helps. For some reason though Rom manager sees my device as m7spr, unsupported device in clockwork recovery option of that program. Sorry if I'm confusing you, just wanted to put everything that I can give at this time.

you may need to update the supersu to 1.80. i think you can find it in the forums here, i can't remember where its at also you may need to install TWRP 2.6.3.0, these recoveries are touchy here lately.
might look at big daddy's FAQ forum lot of help there.

thanks again for the help. I will flash with twrp, I like clockworkmod because I had it on my rooted evo I paid someone to root for me. I'll look for it and the supersu youbare referring to. Any special information or steps I need to do to change recoveries or updating to a new supersu? Like do I need to delete or wipe cache before going into fastboot ?

no you do not need to wipe anything, make sure your sdk tools are up to date, and flash recovery with adb.(fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img)
you should uninstall the superuser before installing a new one.
Same Problem, easy solution
I downloaded 1.80 update but TWRP told me that it was bad. Every time I downloaded the update (from my current 1.65) it didn't work. Finally, I clicked the link for the Play Store, installed SuperSU, it updated, and everything works again.
If coming from the original JellyBean and have not updated your custom recovery since, you will need to install the recovery provided below. This step only needs to be performed once to support the newer updates.
Recovery Update
Boot into bootloader mode, connect the USB cable, and from a terminal window or command prompt type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
To root an OTA, the procedure is pretty simple.
Code:
Copy the OTA from the cache folder to the sdcard.
Move the OTA zip somewhere it can be opened and unzip it
Go to system/etc/ to find the file named recovery and delete it
(extension may vary, but it is always named recovery)
Open the META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
Delete all of step 1 and step 3 so that all that is left is the large middle portion without any steps
That's it. You have made the same files you find here.
Download the desired package below and copy it to your sdcard, along with the SuperSU recovery package.
Boot into recovery, select install from sdcard, and choose the update. Go back and repeat the install for SuperSU.

The new update has a few things that require updating the recovery, but since a recovery is not officially developed, updating the kernel of the existing recovery will do the trick. Flash this first.
Recovery Update
The install requires removing the assert checks since there is an error that the device is a Thor but looking for a Roth (same thing, right?). Install this from the new recovery.
KitKat Update
Immediately after installing the update, install the SuperSU recovery package to restore root and you're all set.

Currently my shield is 4.3, rooted and has a kernel of 3.4.10. When I boot to recovery, I get the broken android guy with the red triangle. I think if I remember right, when I was rooting it, I had issues getting a working recovery on there since mine was fairly new when I got it. So what is thebest way to install that first zip? Would I be doing it via fastboot?

First off I want to say thanks umbrella, for coming up with this method.
Bit off topic but I figured I would throw it out there, when you get the broken android guy, your recovery is doing exactly what it's supposed to. It's working, dont quote me here but I think pressing home and back simultaneously will get the menu to come up. I could be wrong on the button combo but there is a combination of button's to get the stock recovery menu to come up. If I remember right my droid X was the same way.

Quite possible. I stripped out the recovery in the update and used fastboot on recovery for this one. I rushed through it a bit lol.
If I remember right, I think it's by-name/SOS and the update uses it to install the system before flashing the recovery to the partition. I didn't update it, though, just in case that wasn't a secondary partition.

Ahh I gotcha. Well that's good to know. I haven't had a chance to really look at many of the files yet. Do you know if nvidia released the factory recovery packages yet?
EDIT:
Nevermind looks like 72 is out now.
Yeah, they are pretty good about that. It may be nearing the last update for this version, though

Shield+home at the broken android guy brought up a menu.
What is the best way to install the recovery update file? Is this something that is done by booting the shield into the bootloader and then doing it via fastboot on the PC?

Awesome. Thank you. Alternatively, I could accept the OTA and then push SU back to it again like I did the first time it was rooted right?
Last question-we have a working CWM recovery for the shield I believe. Are there any recoveries that work with the shield while running KitKat?

The OTA will restore the stock recovery. This way updates it to one compatible with KitKat.

OTA 98 has been added. No recovery update is needed coming from 72. Flash the build and SuperSU and off you go. No data wipe necessary, either.

Yeah, to clarify, in recovery, you must press and hold Shield and Home buttons for a second, then release to bring up the menu. Then use X and Y to navigate, A to select. Don't understand why the bootloader or recovery don't use the D-pad at all. They're weird. Anyway, downloading this now, and will report back in a few minutes. This is just sideloaded via the stock recovery, right? I hope so, that's how I'm doing it right now.

I think I'll try that new recovery (funny, because I had flashed the one included in the original update archive, still had issues). I shouldn't have to use that one, I was on update 92 already.
EDIT 2: Oh, I'm dumb. Here I thought this was still being done with the STOCK recovery. Didn't realize this would flash in CWM. Awesome. Flashed SuperSU 2.16 while I was at it. Rebooted, and it's at .98, with root access. You ROCK, @twistedumbrella!

Hmmm. It started downloading as soon as I turned mine on. I'm just gonna do the usual process.
I received a push notice to download and install Sprint HTC One (M8) Software Update 4.25.651.14 which was released on 4/9/15 with Wi-Fi Calling enhancements. My phone is rooted. I use Super SU Pro. I use TWRP (Sprint) for my custom recovery. Never had any problems with applying previous OTA updates. I connect via ADB shell and flash stock recovery for version 4.20.651.10 currently installed on my phone. I use One_M8_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 to perform the shell commands.
I apply the OTA update in the stock recovery from my phone and everything looks good, but when the phone restarts it gets frozen in the white "splash" screen where it says "HTC One powered by Android". I waited over 15 minutes and nothing happened. I was able to recover my phone by booting into the bootloader and flashing TWRP then restoring my nandroid. I could see in the bootloader screen that the firmware was updated to the latest version.
Does anyone know what is causing the phone to freeze after the firmware is updated and the system restarts?
I tried to manually install the OTA zip file using TWRP from my phone to update the software. I selected the Zip file saved in the phone's root folder and used TWRP to apply the update, but got an error message that it "failed".

I believe it is is still true that you cant OTA with a unlocked bootloader regardless if you reinstall the stock recovery. You need to relock bootloader install stock recovery. It is much safer and easier to wait until there is a flashable firmware upgrade. The OTA did not install correctly hence the white splash screen.
Look here and READ carefully and install the right zip.

Guess I should have noted I move it
flash the recovery from the ota.zip in fastboot then rename the ota to update.zip and manually install it from the stock recovery. also "fastboot erase cache" before booting your phone. Btw if you are using xposed(or any scripts) it can cause problems, reinstall any mods after first booting the phone.

I'm assuming you're s-on? From what I know if you have a system file that has been modified, the OTA won't work, you have to have a stock non-rooted ROM if you're going to take the OTA.
Check out this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173 if you're s-on relock your bootloader first.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Thank you Vcek. It sounds like I need to do these steps while tethered to my PC in the ADB shell? I will try this method. Maybe one of my mistakes was I did not use the stock recovery from the latest OTA.zip. I had used the previous version OTA.zip's stock recovery to perform the software update installation from my phone.
Some people say I need to RELOCK the bootloader but I have never needed to do this to perform any of the previous OTA.zip updates. In fact, updating my rooted phone has been very easy until I ran into this problem with the latest OTA.zip update. I simply flashed the previous OTA.zip stock recovery tethered to my PC in ADB shell, then ran the latest OTA.zip update saved to my phone's internal storage while my phone remained rooted. Of course, after the OTA.zip was installed, I had to run SuperSU.zip in TWRP recovery from my phone to re-root the phone. Everything was always perfect after those steps.
I don't want to RELOCK my bootloader because then my phone internal storage will be wiped. I am trying to keep my phone from returning to a factory fresh installation. Perhaps there's a step in between that I am missing to restore the phone's apps and data but when I use TWRP to restore my nandroid, the previous OS is restored too.

mukeshdaiv thanks for reporting your similar problem with this latest OTA.zip update. I think our solution to this problem is to manually install the update from the ADB shell tethered to a PC to run the commands to override the phone's recovery. If your phone is still frozen just press the power button while pressing the volume down button to get into the bootloader, then tether your phone to your PC and run the ADB to flash TWRP or other custom recovery and then restore your nandroid. After that, you will see that your phone's firmware was updated to the latest version. So all that's left to do is to update your phone's OS. That's the part I am not sure how to do in ADB.

You don't use ADB-you use a RUU (ROM Update Utility), which is a exe file run from your computer. The RUU includes both software and firmware, as well as the stock recovery.

S-off is not required. You'll need to relock your bootloader using the command fastboot oem lock. Then double-click the RUU to start the installer. Once it starts simply follow the prompts on your computer to complete the process. For more info hit the second link in my sig and scroll down & read the RUU section.

Magnum_Enforcer thanks very much for your guidance, I really appreciate it. Relocking the bootloader and then unlocking it (so I can re-root my phone) will wipe my phones internal memory, right? How do I restore my Apps & Data with my nandroid since it will restore the previous OS. Then I would have only updated the firmware and the latest OS would be replaced by the nandroid, right? Or am I missing a step? I'll read up on your RUU instructions and do some searching. Thank you!

If your phone is still frozen just press the power button while pressing the volume down button to get into the bootloader, then tether your phone to your PC and run the ADB to flash TWRP or other custom recovery and then restore your nandroid. After that, you will see that your phone's firmware was updated to the latest version. So all that's left to do is to update your phone's OS. That's the part I am not sure how to do in ADB.

daodeltaforce I have already flashed recovered from nadroid backup. Thanks for the information. Hope we can flash via ADB. As relocking and unlocking bootloader will clear all the memory.

mukeshdaiv I am glad you were able to restore your Nandroid. Now we need to figure out how to apply the latest OTA.zip for our UNLOCKED (rooted) phones without losing our Apps and Data. I was informed in this forum that we need to run the RUU.exe that OMJ has posted. I asked OMJ to confirm that the RUU.exe will also update the OS (not just the firmware). AND that it can be installed without losing my Apps & Data. I've been told in this forum the bootloader needs to be RELOCKED. That means to UNLOCK the bootloader to ROOT the phone will wipe the phone's internal storage. I will not do that. There is no way I am going lose my Apps and Data to update the OS. I for one will not start from scratch. I have not received a reply from OMJ. I also asked Captain_Throwback the same question if there is a way to apply the RUU.exe, update the firmware and OS without having to wipe my Apps & Data. I have not received a reply from Captain_Throwback. At this point, I think I will need to move to more resources to get some help and answers. I wish you good luck and if you find a solution that works for your phone, please post it here, and I will do the same. Thanks!
i'm having the same problem where y phone is stuck at the white htc one screen as you, and haven't been able to get it to restart from there. i restored the stock recovery and started the ota and it looked to install right but i'm stuck where you mentioned. i think maybe i forgot to relock the bootloader? anyway, i've tried holding the power button and everything and i still can't get anywhere. any help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: i was able to get into the bootloader, and after rebooting it just stays at a black screen right after the first powerup screen. dunno where to go from there though.
All I wanted was to upgrade my Rooted M7 to the latest software upgrade, so long short story I flashed recovery to TWRP and my M7 got stuck on logo. I know that I should install a ROM, but I don't know which one I should download and how to install it. How can I fix that? FYI you are talking to a noob :crying:.

Are you able to access TWRP recovery?
If you can you can use my Nandroid backup here. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722641162
Extract the zip on your desktop. You should get a folder and a zip file.
Copy the folder to the TWRP Backups folder on your device using MTP in TWRP.
Location :- /TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXXXXXXXXX/.
Return to twrp home screen and select restore. Then select my backup. Once that's complete you should be good. Reboot from recovery. TWRP may ask if you want to root the device at this point but it's best to wait until after the updates are installed.
To install the ota you need to flash the Stock recovery back to the device. You will find it in the zip file that came with the backup.
Open the zip file on your pc and extract the recovery.img. Copy it to your fastboot folder and flash it like twrp
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once that's done reboot the device and it should be ready to receive OTA updates. You will need to install 4 or 5 updates to bring your device to the latest. So just keep going untill no more are available. Once you've installed all the updates. Reflash TWRP and root the phone :good:

Thanks for replying, the file you provided is damaged I think, it should be 1.2 gb but I can download only about 88 mb of the file and its damaged. By the way, I wonder how can I copy the folder to TWRP using MTP

The uploaded file is fine. It's been downloaded and used many times. How are you downloading it? Through your browser or with a download manager?
Newer versions of TWRP recovery allow MTP connection while in twrp. This allows you to copy files to the device in recovery mode just like if you were doing it in Android. I have not used TWRP 3.0. myself so can't confirm it supports MTP. I'll check and get back to you :good:
@mohdhasan3 can you provide a link the the TWRP 3.0 download you flashed please?

Dear Danny,
Could you check the link for me or upload it to another site, because I checked the two links in Mozilla and Opera with download manager and without with VPN and without its always about 88 mb file
This is the link for TWRP 3.0:
https://dl.twrp.me/m7/twrp-3.0.0-0-m7.img.html
I see now the MTP Device yeah it just like you said. I can see a TWRP folder and a TWRPS File with no name inside the folder. So I'll add a new folder naming Backup and wait for your working link.
By the way, thanks for helping I appreciate your effort

Ok, I'm downloading it now I'll keep you in touch :highfive: :good:
@Danny201281 By the way, when I entered TWRP before maybe an hour there is something popped up asking I think to be able to do modifications by swiping the arrow or to Keep System Read Only, so I pressed Keep System. I don't know what is it but I hope that I didn't messed up again.

No it's fine for the moment. But if you are going to use custom roms after the update you will want to change it to read/write :good:
Were you able to figure out how to use mtp in twrp to copy the files to the device?
Here's a link to the Stock recovery https://www.dropbox.com/s/iej6thyyjakwgjc/recovery.img?dl=0

Yes, I'm. Now I'm extracting the zip then I'll copy the folder as you said to TWRP/BACKUPS/********* :good:
Updating Progress:
Putting the folder in TWRP/BACKUPS/"In Here" will not work. So I did a backup to see where it goes. After it completed, the Backup saved in TWRP/BACKUPS/SH35********(Device Serial[1])/2016-02-19--11-28-11(Today's Date)/"In Here". Then I replaced this Backup Files with the Nandroid Backup Files.
[1] Device Serial can be found with ADB writing in the command prompt opened from the ADB folder location after connecting the device to the PC and enabling USB debugging "adb devices"
You succeeded -my bro- in restoring my M7 again to normal thank you very much :victory:, but still didn't reach my goal I'll continue now in progressing and will keep you in touch :good:
Updating Progress 1:
After I downloaded the latest OTA, I installed it. M7 rebooted then it went to the recovery that showed up with red triangle, pressed the three combinations Power + Volume Up + Volume Down I got the recovery menu, then I wiped cache partition and the red triangle went to I think green likely circle. Rebooted, tried again it starts to updating then after maybe about a quarter of the updating bar red triangle showed up again saying installation aborted. Rebooted, then tried again -here is my problem from long time- OTA was deleted after I went to check for updates now I'm downloading again and will try one more time. I need your help my brother @Danny201281
Updating Progress 2:
Same. Installation aborted after almost half-quarter of the updating bar then red triangle again. Help is appreciated.
I think I know the solution now, but first the error is same like this except the Package:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...

this device has htc/vodafone_uk/m7:4.4.3/KTU84L/366813.5:user/release-keys.

The one had this error fixed it and said that he installed the wrong recovery
As you can see that your link OS is 6.09.401.11 but the link you provided OS is 6.09.401.12 maybe thats why the recovery is different from each other. What do you say

Normally such a small difference shouldn't cause a problem but let's try the correct recovery I found a firmware zip download link below ?
Download this firmware zip. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952612395
Extract it on your pc and use the recovery from it. It will then match your Rom

FINALLY I UPDATED MY M7 :victory:!!
I made a great progress. I opened the OTA that I had from the start -its the same as the latest OTA I was downloading- and opened the firmware.zip and extracted the recovery.img from it, flashed, downloaded OTA again from device, installed it, and succeeded in upgrading to the latest OTA. I recommend for anyone have this problem too to download the latest OTA from device, copy it to desktop, extract recovery.img from firmware.zip inside the OTA, flash, then install update and it will work PERFECTLY :good:
I don't know how to thank you my brother you are GREAAAT :fingers-crossed:. Thank you very very much. All credits goes to @Danny201281 for fixing my device.
If you may could I use more of your services?
If I can how can I install ROMs and how can I S-OFF M7?

Yes you can now flash custom lollipop roms, the process is fairly simple. Choose the Rom you want. Download it and copy it to your devices storage. Reboot TWRP recovery and install the Rom.
To gain s-off your only option is Sunshine app. It's not free to use unfortunately but its very simple and effective.
All other methods have either been patched against by HTC or discontinued by there developers. Rumrunner still works but only for devices with hboot 155 or below. ?

Hey everyone,
So I am in quite the pickle here and need some help from experts. Seeing as how my google searches were leading more and more to this site, I figured the time had come to create an account and ask my specific issue question:
So here's the situation I'm currently in:
• My phone is bricked. Yes I have no backup (my first shooting of myself in the foot), and a pretty clear SD card (no OS so I cannot boot it. It gets stuck at the startup screen)
• I have the bootloader unlocked
• I have S-ON
• I do not have SU installed
• I have TWRP 3.0.2-0 installed
What I'm looking to do is stock reset my phone so I can just get it back to par. SO like any normal human being I go to google and enter "Stock reset HTC ONE M9" and find all kinds of videos and threads about how to do so. Unfortunately, most thread and videos assume that you have S-OFF and/or SU installed.
So here is my struggle now:
• I want to install SU so I can do things like lock the bootloader and flash a stock ROM to get my phone back to factory stock.
• However, It seems that I cannot install SU because I need an operating system to do so? (Not sure on that part) Reason being, using my current version of TWRP (3.0.2-0) I have tried to install SU versions 1.25, 2.75, 2.76, etc. etc. However, when I install them using TWRP it reboots about 100 times and then gets stuck on the startup screen. Then when I try to use ADB SHELL and enter the "su" command, I find out that SU is not found or in other words not installed.
So I'm not sure if I'm totally screwed and have the chicken and the egg problem where I can't install SU without an OS and I can't install an OS without unlocking the boot loader first which I need SU for)
If there is a way to flash a stock ROM in my current condition that is the answer I'm looking for. I just want to factory reset my phone.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or link are greatly appreciated. At this point I'm desperate to not buy an new phone. Throw your crazy methods of solving this problem my way please!
Also please note that I am still learning the ins and outs of things like the bootloader, RUU, ROM, Recovery so any definitions or helpful comments you provide about what something is and what it is meant to do is greatly appreciated for I am still learning.
Thanks.
hey man supersu only works with a system in place... soff or on doesnt give a crap about a system restore...but since you have twrp recovery , just download a ruu zip or a custom rom for the m9 flash it using twrp and have su installed then

Awesome good to know! So I'm downloading a stock RUU zip.
But when I try to flash it though TWRP I get an error saying:
"Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid arguments)"
"Could not find 'META-INF/com/gogle/android/update-binary' in the zip file."
"Error installing zip file '/sdcard/M9_3.38.502.12_FullStock.zip'"
Can you lend me some information on what this means?
EDIT
I also tried to fastboot flash zip ROM.zip and get "RU_SECURITY_FAIL zip from usb command in download mode" which I think I need S-OFF for.
Great Unbrick and SU install guide
Finally fixed it. Found a great guide for both an unbrick and su install all-in-one.
(I'd post a link but I can't post links since I'm too new.)
I found it on teamandroid and the title was "Update HTC One (M9) to Android 6.0.1 Stock Rooted Marshmallow Custom ROM"
