[Q] HTC One update with root and stock recovery fails

I have htc one (M7) GSM version, unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp recovery and rooted the device (still S-ON)
Now I received a new OTA update, and as usual, i flashed the stock recovery to install the update
However, this time, when trying to install the update, the device reboots, starts installing (with a green triangle) and half way stops and the screen shows a red triangle...
Any idea why does it fail?

can you post your fastboot getvar all please, without imei and serial number
the reason it fails is because a folder called data/preload is missing.

read both links above and find which assert is failing, then you'll know wich file(s) is(are) causing the ota installation to fail

The second link helps finding which assert is failing
In my case, I get "Check /data/preload/SoundHound_Freemium.apk failed, error No such file or directory()"
I have never deleted a system app before... i guess i have to find a way to flash it or something...
Thanks
EDIT: the packaged app "SoundHound" version 6.1.2 is there, and is enabled... I don't understand why the update fails
EDIT2: I can't find the folder /data/preload at all... it seems this folder is deleted after unlocking the bootloader
EDIT3: It looks like we should have backed up these apps before unlocking the bootloader... now I guess we have to extract them from the update package and copy them manually
EDIT4: this is an old post that sums it up in a nice way... yet, without a solution for those who didn't take notice

You did when unlocking the bootloader. Unlocking bootloader wipe /data so it also wipe /data/preload and all files in that folder. You must restore all files for the ota to install.

[Q] Tempered root and stucked

Hello,
My phone is Htc one m7 unlocked and tempered root, also my hboot is 1.57 and s on and clockwordmod recovery v6.0.4.8
I'm basicly stucked now cause i was planning to turn my phone gpe edition but cause of my hboot i can't be able to s off.
How can i turn back to stock recovery and get off that tempered root thing?

You should be able to return to Stock Software easily enough. Depending on your current os and what files are available for your device.
But to go back to 100% Stock with a ***LOCKED*** bootloader and no ***TAMPERED*** flag requires the device to be s-off.
Can you please post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
. But remove your imei and serial numbers before posting :good:

Ok the fact your on the stock Rom still may help. Unfortunately there's not a lot of files about for your device. What su app do you have some have an option to unroot and uninstall. Then a factory reset with Stock recovery should do the job. Only problem then is missing preload data. This gets wiped when you unlock the bootloader and OTA updates won't work without it.
I'm still looking

I think it's an OTA .zip if I'm right you can download it. Open it on your pc and inside there will be a firmware.zip. extract it and open it. Inside the firmware.zip you'll find the stock recovery you need. You can flash it with fastboot like any custom recovery.

[Q] Stuck in recovery after flashing kernel

I was trying to go from stock at&t 4.4.2 to GPE and made it through the bootloader and root process but had problems trying to use firewater for s-off. Gave me an error about my kernel I attempted to flash to elementalx-m7-15.1-gpe and now I cannot get to my OS and I cant transfer a different kernel to my HTC one. I can only boot to fastboot and TWRP v2.8.1.0. I've been trying to sideload roms but cant get my HTC one to appear under adb devices when using sideload in TWRP. How can I fix this? HBOOT 1.57 OS-5.12.502.2
Edit 1 : I've been trying to use RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_Cingular but after turning my screen to the htc logo and making it 5 percent through I get a USB Connection Error Error [171]

Ok so you flashed a GPE kernel on your sense phone. You need s-off and to complete the conversion before you can use that kernel. On 4.4.2 Sense you should use
Sense 6 Android 4.4.2
ElementalX-m7-14.12-Sense http://elementalx.org/htc-one-m7#downloads
Check your drivers are installed correctly. In the device manager on your pc your phone should be listed as "MY HTC" if your drivers are ok, try downgrading to TWRP 2.6.3.3. Some newer versions of twrp have problems with adb. I also recommend doing a "Format Data" in twrp before you push and install a new rom.
Also you should try adb push instead of sideload. With the phone on the twrp home screen.
Code:
adb push "naneofrom".zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes (several minutes) when it's done install the Rom with twrp recovery.
If you found my posts helpful, no need to say thanks. There's a button for that

I havent been able to get adb to work it either says its offline or is not listed when I use the adb devices command at twrp homescreen. Also can I do s-off before or after this? Thanks for helping.
edit1: I was able to get adb to work with2.6.3.3
edit2: I got an older rom to work through adb now to start over again thank you so much!

What ruu are you trying to flash, just changing cid isn't enough you need to downgrade to a compatible version main by flashing a firmware package also. Based on the fact you appear to have changed cid to HTC__001. I guess your wanting to flash the 4.19.401.9 HTC Europe RUU?
If that's the case you need to flash 3.62.401.1 or 4.19.401.9 firmware package. Then the ruu will work.
As for the red text it will disappear after you flash the ruu, but any modification you make afterwards (custom recovery, rooted stock Rom or custom Rom) will bring it back.
To get rid of it with custom software you would need to flash a modified firmware with the message removed. :good:

Sorry for my ignorance but what is the firmware package? and where i can find it?
If I will stay with the original RUU with no modificatian like custom recovery, rooted stock ecc...... Will I be able to OTA? with no problems?? by the way the cid HTC__001 it's not his original one

Yeah I can see you changed the CID as it does not match your firmware version After flashing the RUU you can safely update with OTA's no problem :good: To get the RUU to flash follow the below procedure
Download this firmware package. And put it in your fastboot folder
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/4.19.401.8.zip
With the phone connected with fastboot usb flash the firmware using the following commands.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
< --- *case sensitive ---^^^
The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip 4.19.401.8.zip
The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip 4.19.401.8.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now in the bootloader connected with fastboot usb run the ruu .exe on your pc

Thanks for everything, man! you saved me...... :good: :highfive: :victory:

AT&T M7, Soft Brick, Desperate for help!

I post as a final measure, as after two days of being unable to use my AT&T HTC One M7, I am in need of help. Badly. I have tried everything I could find, it either errors, fails, or crashes, nothing is working for me. I am without an OS, and have an unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and sleep deprivation. This all started when attempting to update to the newest Android available, and has left me stranded with a soft brick. If anyone has any ideas for me, PLEASE speak up. My phone was working fine until yesterday, and I am NOT interested in going back to my Iphone.

1st install any lollipop recovery, latest would be good
2nd search for latest RUU.ZIP (Lollipop) and install with "htc_fastboot.exe" (google for these 2 terms!, follow the htc_fastboot.exe commands instructions which should be explained on that site of the file)
3rd be happy.

This is the typical problem of updating a lollipop rooted rom. Relock your bootloader and flash the latest at&t ruu, then install all updates (if any) before unlocking and rootimg

Thank you so much! This finally fixed it. I tried flashing the ruu, but I didnt realize my bootloader had to be relocked.

yep when s-on you must re-lock the bootloader to flash a RUU
