Is it possible to update to 5.0.1 with the phone? Maybe flashify? Any help i cam get woild be much appreciated.
Just wait for the OTA to come to you, thats a way of updating without computer.
Alternatively, you can update to 5.0.1 assuming your bootloader is unlocked and have TWRP.
If you do, download the OTA zip and then flash it in TWRP.
thanks
I ended up using the sinless rom. Same effect but with some tweals. Also im on sprint amd my text messages are only sending once for the first time ever.

Hi,
I am trying to update my phone to an OTA update from HTC that will bring my phone up to Android 4.3 and Sense 5. When I try to install it, my phone boots into Twerp v.2.6.0.1. I go to Install - Download Folder and click on the OTA file and then Swipe to Flash. It Fails and the last line above Failed is Updating Partition Table. Can someone help me?
Also, I noticed I wasn't running the latest version of Twerp. I was goin to download it but I can't recall whether I have the International version or AT&T version of the phone. Is there a quick way for me to figure that out? (if i need the updated Twerp).
Thanks.

Are you trying to do the OTA from within the OS or flashing a zip? If you try to do OTA from within the OS, it'll boot to TWERP because you're not supposed to do OTAs with a custom recovery. If you're trying to flash a zip though, it should work fine.
As far as I know, TWERP is the same for the international version and the AT&T version (only Sprint is different), anyway you can get all your essential info using this:
reboot to bootloader, then into fastboot
fastboot getvar all
Should give you all the information. Hope this helps!
Hello, I would very much appreciate any help provided.
I just got a moto x developer edition gsm. I'll be using it on tmobile.
I've rooted lots of android phones and have never had this many problems. I tried a lot of different things on these forums and have had some success but i'm stuck now.
I was able to unlock the bootloader using motorola's site. I also have TWRP recovery installed (2.6.3.1). Currently the phone has 4.2.2 (build 13.9.0Q2.x-116-x-17-57) and its rooted, working fine.
The moral of the story is that i'm unable to update to 4.4. I've tried the OTA update twice and it downloads fine, then reboots to twrp to install it and it fails, saying something about its not ghost. Although in my system version it does say ghost. I also downloaded the 4.4 rom and manually tried to install it using twrp, also fails.
I'm not totally sure if the rom i'm on now is the same one that the phone came with. The rom that's on it now was obtained from this page:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
(Android 4.2.2 Blur_Version.139.12.57.ghost_row.Retail.en.US) for t-mobile US
Please help me be able to update to 4.4 and ideally keep root.

You need to be stock, unrooted, with stock recovery to take the OTA. Use the sbf you have to flash back your stock system and recovery and you should be good to go to accept the update.

that is your problem. The OTA installs will not install via 3rd party recovery like TWRP and CWM.
fastboot flash the stock recovery back on your phone and try the OTA.
Thanks for the help guys, going back to completely stock enabled me to get to 4.4. After that luckily I found out that rooting and installing twrp was very simple, unlike all the info i was reading in the developer forum. All set now
Why didn't you flash the official firmware manually using fastboot? Once done, boot into Android and run adb reboot bootloader. Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, select recovery, adb push su.zip /sdcard/, flash su.zip, adb reboot?
Hey guys
A friend told me, he updated his htc one via OTA with just flashing stock recovery and not relocking the phone.
Is it possible?
I doubt because from the begining I have read everywhere that bootloader needs to be relocked.
Thanks for your answer,

the last update worked for me without locked bootloader

Just stock recovery and unchanged stock rom, rooted is oK, bootloader doesn't matter
there is NO need for (re-)locking the bootloader in order to get the OTA.
You should just have anything stock, i.e. firmware, recovery and unmodified hboot of course.
You receive the OTA if you are UNLOCKED and S-OFF!

OK, some dumb questions... I have a rooted stock Tmous device with 4.3 on it. The OTA obviously didn't work. I tried flashing a stock recovery I found online, but it may not have been the right one as I was never able to get it to upgrade.
So can you be specific of the steps necessary to get back to stock firmware, recovery and unmodified hboot? or is there another way to flash Kitkat easily?
I have TWRP right now, and have successfully been able to communicate with my device via ADB etc...

The T-Mobile OTA is very picky about the stock recovery. I had to run the RUU for the T-Mobile stock 4.3 which put my phone completely stock. Then it did the OTA to 4.4.2 just fine. Since I am S-OFF, it was then easy enough to unlock and root. I've since found what appears to be the recovery.img from the OTA 4.4.2 update, so when they release another OTA update, I should be able to simply flash that recovery and get the update as normal. I hope.

Can you point me in the direction of the RUU you used? Of would you DropBox it to me (or some other file share method)?
Also, I'm currently S-On, so do you think my first step is to S-Off?
I've stayed with stock because I need WiFi calling, although I was just about to try Revolution HD 61 which supposedly has WiFi calling.
Any help is apperciated.
I didn't relock, but I did s-off
I've been trying to upgrade to 4.4 for weeks and finally figured out how to do it....
1) Installed Rumrunner to get s-off. I found Rumrunner and instructions here: http://rumrunner.us/
2) Downloaded older TMOUS firmware package that I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43383588&postcount=2 and extracted recovery.img from it (to get me back to stock recovery)
3) Used Fastboot and flashed the stock recovery
4) Ran the standard update from within 4.3 and let it follow standard OTA process
5) Flashed latest TWRP via Fastboot (for some reason the openrecovery script method from the goo.im app didn't work) which I found here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
So I decided to flash THIS on my XT1063, which currently the phone is on 4.4.4. It gave a error as shown in the screenshot. The phone is completely stock and nothing have been modified. Any solution? and I don't want to wait for OTA... AND I have limited internet so I need to get this working...
Thanks
You need to downgrade as there is no ota for build 21.11.23

Hello, Again.
I postes earlier today about loading tve 5.1 update on ny rooted N6 w/o a computar or adb method. I got no answer, so i assume it isnt posible.
However, since i am rooted stock 5.0.1 with TWRP recovery, i should be able to flash a custom rom without issue.
So ny question is:
If i flash a custom rom, will i be able to flash tve stock 5.1 over it and not use adb?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Flash tve?
I'm not sure what you're asking. To flash OTA via direct download or via adb, you must be 100% stock. No root, no custom recovery.
If you want to retain your data and get to almost any version of 5 .1 download the toolkit, select the version would like to go to, select retain userdata and go. If you need help;

I think the only caveat is the T Mobile version you have to be on stock recovery and on a particular version to take the OTA and there is no factory image for that one yet. But you could use the tool kit to get to that version then used to sideload option to force the OTA.
