[Q] Unable to install software update

I have the HTC One Dev edition and have unrooted the device and installed RUU so I can apply OTA updates. The problem is when I try to apply OTA update to 1.29.1540.17 the phone reboots to Fastboot. Bootloader shows Tampered relocked Hboot is at version 1.44.0000. If I reboot the phone it's not updated and is asking me to install update again. I would like to install this update and stay unrooted so I can receive the update to 4.2.2 which should be coming shortly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You've the stock recovery, right?

As far as I know. I ran the ruu utility from the htc dev site which is supposed to return the phone to stock. If that's not the case then maybe not.

The ruu only restores stock ROM only ,but you have to flash stock kernel and recovery manually

Yes I have Dev edition and the bootloader was unlocked initially. Are you saying to keep bootloader unlocked and run the RUU?

NO NO NO
after RUU, before OTA try keeping BL unlocked and get OTA
I think mostly it will work

Ok. I ran RUU and tried running OTA with BL unlocked and got the same problem of booting to bootloader when trying to install OTA.

Do you have stock recovery ?

The TAMPERED is gone from fastboot, ya??
If not may be stock recovery wasnt flashed correctly
This is it
Thats all i can think
May be reflash stock recovery,
Even then if you cant get OTA its strange

If the TAMPERED is still there, the OTA won't install AFAIK.

Omg fkn hell
First grab the appropriate ruu for your phone,then start it up,but dont put in the phone ,while its still open,go to the windows search bar on the menu and type %temp% you will see a folder,search in the first 2 folders you will find ROM.zip inside that is all the **** you need,so extract from it boot.IMG(kernel) and recovery.IMG(recovery),
Now boot your phone to boot loader flash those 2 files,relock bootloader,(fastboot oem lock ) something like this i forgot,make sure to double check it then boot your phone up,unroot it with supersu app ,reboot then flash the update ....,that's assuming you're on stock rom,if on a custom one, after flashing the img files,run the ruu so it can restore the stock software ..

Sorry to hijack, i bought the one yesterday, immediately rooted. Does this mean I won't get ota updates? It's running 4.1.
Will I have to unroot and install stock recovery to update?

I've seen here that there is a list of RUU's. My phone is the following:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm not sure which RUU to use. Also, the page gives a list of OTA. Can I just install the correct OTA to upgrade?
I'm just worried I'll screw this phone up, barely had it a day. Again, apologies for hijacking.

I have the RUU straight from htcdev for the HTC One Dev edition of the phone. This should be all I need to get back to stock. Is this not the case?

So I ran RUU utility after relocking phone and superuser apk still shows as installed. I then downloaded ES file explorer and gave it superuser permission, mounted the filesystem as rw and deleted the su file in system/bin and system/xbin and then deleted the superuser.apk file from system/app. After that I tested to make sure I no longer had root access. The test showed I no longer had root access and then I rebooted and all the su and superuser files were back again. Does anyone have an explanation for what I'm doing wrong? I just want to get back to stock so I can install OTA updates from HTC again and get 4.2.2 update.

Bro why are you doing it manually ? You must go into the app and press unroot,that's it

I don't see that option in the superuser app. I do see that option on my GN that has su installed but not on my HTC one with superuser installed.

In fact if you are going to unlock your bootloader there is no need to downgrade (Unless you want to backup your TA, which is advisable)

There is no need to do any of this.
If you are going to unlock your bootloader and not backup your TA then
Unlock bootloader
Flash SuperSU.zip
If you want to backup TA (or not unlock your bootloader)
Flash 4.2 FTF
Instal dual recovery
Flash a pre rooted 4.4 ROM
DO NOT USE ANY ROOT TOOLS (360, KINGO, VROOT, BIN4RY ETC)

You will not be able to take an ota with a rooted rom. The rom must be unmodified in any way for the ota to succeed in the upgrade. So your only chance is to either unroot the rom or factory restore the rom. If you factory restore, remember to backup your data.

Root=no upgrade. FleetPhone is saying because you are rooted your phone will not update. You can't have root.

Guys....it's not about being rooted. It's about NOT having STOCK RECOVERY, *or* about changes that were made to /system.
Usually just being rooted won't stop you from taking updates. But you can NOT take an update without Stock Recovery. You probably have TWRP recovery still installed - this will prevent the OTA from installing.
Aside from that, any significant modifications to /system, for example Xposed will need to be uninstalled first.
If you can't figure out the problem, use RSD Lite to flash the entire 4.4.2 ROM, then you can take the OTA.
NEVER DOWNGRADE. You can only do this because you are still on 4.4.2 and haven't updated to 4.4.4. Once on 4.4.4, any attempt to downgrade will likely result in a brick.
Good Luck :good:

You must hide root with SuperSU & use STK recovery

I have AT&T Moto X with unlocked bootloader and root. All I did to take update was restore stock recovery and apply 4.4.2 system.img to ensure there were not system changes and my phone accepted update fine (didn't lose anything either). Then I got root back I installed TWRP and SuperSU again. Done.
You can do all of this with the MotoX tookit. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/tool-moto-x-toolkit-v1-4-0-t2477132

Ok, your problem of not being able to take the OTA... that is because of how SlapMyMoto works, and tricks it plays to give you root and write protection disabled.
If you want to take the OTA, you will have no choice but to flash completely back to stock (using RSDLite) and WILL lose root. For how, see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Keep in mind that with a LOCKED bootloader, you will NOT be able to DISABLE Write Protection when on 4.4.2 and above. If on 4.4.2, PIE or TOWELPIEROOT can be used to root, but write protection will still be enabled, so root and changes made by root apps would be lost at power off/on or "hard boot" and root apps done have the ability to create files in /system and such. There is no root for 4.4.4 with locked bootloader. For more see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/one-stop-shop-how-root-moto-x-confusion-t2826159 its not a very long thread, so please read ALL of it... including Post #70 of that thread
And before you ask... No, if you are on 4.4.4 you can NOT fully downgrade to 4.4.2 or lower. If you are on 4.4.2 you can NOT fully downgrade to 4.4 (aka 4.4.0) or lower! If you try, you will likely brick your phone or set it up to brick with future OTA's. (this is true for locked and Unlocked bootloaders)
IF you have an ATT, Verizon or Republic wireless, you can try the China Middleman thread in the general section to see if you can get a bootloader unlock code if you want to root and disable write protection no matter what ROM is on your phone.

You can use mfastboot to flash stock recovery back on. But you may need to download the SBF of the rom you need, and unzip it to have the stock recovery.img file.
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then enter recovery.

Same here I guess

There's a firmware of Asia retail..but its 4.2.2

There's also a firmware of asia retail 4.4.2
But if you flash that and then upgrade to 4.4.4, you'll hard brick your phone

You can take the long way around...
Download a common version of the Asia Retail and UK that might be available (like 4.4.2 or 4.4 of each), unzip them, and to a file compare on their recoveries...
Example (in windows): FC /bin Recovery.Asia.img Recovery.UK.img
if they match, then you know you can download the UK 4.4.4 and use the recovery from it.
In other words... If Recovery.img in Asia 4.4.2 SBF matches Recovery.img in UK 4.4.2, then recovery in UK 4.4.4 should be the same and usable on Asia 4.4.4.

Yes, as long as you haven't altered much else on the system partition. Like Xposed needs to be properly uninstalling. Original system apps need to be present, etc.

4) Any mods to any system file must be reverted to stock
5) Running the stock odex ROM
6) Any system apps frozen must be unfrozen
If you have at any point of time flashed any 4.4.2 firmware along with the boot loader 30.B3 or 30.B4

You don't need to remove root, however if you are rooted with SlapMyMoto or the like you may want to return to stock.
Apps disabled via settings -> app manager. Can stay disabled. Apps frozen via Titanium Backup may not need to be unfrozen, there were mixed reports from users. Some had to unfreeze, some didn't so it's advised to unfreeze anyway.

Clarifying will be highly appreciated .. Thanks in-advance everyone :)

Hello all Xda friends,
Thanks to the great team that are running such a great forum and thanks you all for all the amazing hard work and enriching discussions which we all learned from over the years
i have a Droid Turbo xt1254 with LOCKED Boot Loader
running Android 5.1 NO Root / Recovery stock
Stock Rom SU4TL-44 repaired with VerizonWirelessSoftwareUpgradeAssistant_1.4.7
because i was trying so hard to downgrade it back to KitKat But failed for sorry
my Question is if I get root and unlocked the boot loader with sunshine …
Can I get KitKat back ??
and if so after i unlock with sunshine .. will i be able to flash the stock KitKat with RSD ?
I really wanna keep such a great phone since I've been considering selling it because of the really unreliable battery drainer Android 5.1
Thanks A lot in-advance for all your help
Have a great day and a wonderful weekend

If you unlock the bootloader you should indeed be able to flash back to KitKat. However, i f you are looking for battery improvement you should check out computer freaks nodded stock build for battery life. We also have marsallow custom ROMs that for me has gave me great battery life on my turbo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding once you are on Lollipop bootloader you can't downgrade back to Kitkat bootloader. You CAN downgrade back to Kitkat from Lollipop -- but when you flash the image, you have to exclude the bootloader portion.

So, if the boot loader is unlocked will i be able to flash stock KitKat back using RSD ?
also what about the radio downgrade will i need to be doing anything to it or it will be downgraded when i flash the KitKat back ?
also what about what our friend ChazzMatt mentioned about excluding the bootloader portion ??
on the other hand can you tell me more about your experience with the "marsallow custom ROMs that for me has gave you great battery life on the turbo" like how long did it last with you and with what type of usage ?
Thanks A lot for you guys and I really appreciate all your help

There is a solid chance of hardbrick flashing with RSD, as if it flash the bootloader you will end with a expensive paperweith. Motorola does not allow to revert to a prior firmware once the bootloader has been updated.
The only solution I see if you still want to go to the kitkat route, is to unlock your bootloader, flash twrp, and then flash this rom with the twrp recovery.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...flashable-kk-rom-computerfreek2744-4-t3268385

The real question is why do you want to flash the bootloader? I wouldn't recommend trying to go backwards with factory images. Even with Nexus devices, it can get tricky. All the battery advantages will come with the OS, which is the ROM and Kernel. I'd just get a good 4.4 ROM if you want KK and flash that. But like previously mentioned, consider other 5.0 or 6.0 ROMs as well. But don't try to go to an older-than-current system image. Hope this helps.

I'm afraid I can't help you there, as I do not own the device, you will have to ask in the specific thread or maybe someone else can chime in. It appears to be the stock droid turbo rom with some bloatware removed.

Now I get theTurbo Boot Loader Unlocked
and I Successfully have TWRP and (Computerfreek274 Stock Android KK 4.4.4 ROM ) installed on it ... Also i have downgraded to the 4.4 radio to work
Now my Question is :
I wonder ?
can I install the stock 4.4.4 now ?? in anyway without re-locking the BootLoader or brick the phone ?

Yes, as long as you don't flash the gpt.bin part.

EDIT:
Look at this thread from over a year, which ironically is actually STILL here in the Moto Droid Turbo forum. It was never moved over to the Moto Maxx forum when they were split September 2015 (two months before the Droid Turbo bootloader was unlocked)... So, even though it says in bold red letters "THIS IS NOT FOR DROID TURBO I REPEAT DONT DO THIS FOR DROID TURBO" -- it actually does now apply to all Quarks.
[Tutorial] How to Flash Different Official Firmware

from the op Q&A:
Jaocagomez said:
Why did you not include gpt.bin in the flashing???
Because if you were on kitkat, installed brasil or another firmware and take a OTA to lollipop your gpt.bin version will be greater than the one you'll try to flash and it will FAIL TO FLASH. dont worry just skip that line.

in that thread someone was on CM 12.1 (custom Lollipop 5.1) after having taken the 5.0.2 OTA and now wanted to go back to stock 4.4.4:

ChazzMatt said:
If you downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4 do NOT re-flash the gpt.bin file (which has been changed to Lollipop). You flash everything except that -- via ADB.
If you want "Lollipop" in the future, do you mean like 5.1? (at that point, in late July 2015, we still thought Motorola would give the other Quarks 5.1 like they had eventually given the Droid Turbo.) Because you already flashed Lollipop 5.0.2 earlier, so you can re-flash that again very easily, then not have to worry about OTA files.
No need to take the OTA files. You can reflash any upgraded images via ADB that are posted here. Besides, you can't take OTA files safely anyway if any system file has been changed (like custom TWRP recovery). For me, having the custom recovery TWRP outweighs any ability to upgrade via OTA.
Basically if you want to downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4, yes you can do that, and have all the functionality and attributes of Kitkat. Just don't re-flash the gpt.bin to a downgrade.
