[Q] HTC One Devolper Edition- Problem OTA updates

Hello, few days ago I bought an HTC Developer Edition (64GB). Came with Android 4.1.2 and came Unroot. So, because I need to use Titanium Backup I root it and I installed Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.4 and then Superuser to root it. The problem is that now I cant make OTA updates (errors when try to update), so my questions are: how can I make OTA updates without errors? Need to install a Stock Recovery again? Where I can find it?
Thanks in advanced!

You need the stock rom without root and the recovery stock for your version main.
After you can apply the OTA
But if you have the Dev Edition, this ruu can help you

This ruu will erase all data (also the sd) from your phone and it will upgrade your phone as stock, with stock rom, recovery, firmware etc.

[Q] Firmware update without S-OFF by switching back to StockRom and Update?

Hi everybody.
my HTC one has Viper 5.8 running with S-ON and i like it that way.
I never updated the Firmware since i moved from the 4.2.2 stock rom. (i have nandroid backup of the stock rom)
I am a bit scared doing S-OFF "just" to update firmware, hboot and radio, I know it should be easy to do, but i just don't want to.
So i thought that maybe i can flash back to the stock rom, then make the offical HTC update to 4.3 sense 6 (should also flash newest firmware right?) and then unlock the bootloader again, flash twrp and custom rom again.
Would that work? Is there something i have to pay attention to?
thx for any help!!!!

Since you don't want S-Off, that is your best option. I would follow closely @Mike1986 [GUIDE] Complete Flashing Guide | Rooting | Going Back To Stock it is for those who are S-On.

Thanks, I will follow the guide.
But I have one more question:
Can I do the official HTC update from the htc stock rom while I still have custom recovery and bootloader unlocked?
Can't find any any info if there is any risk involved not changing back first to stock recovery and bootloader relocked before doing the update.
I guess recovery will be overwritten by the official update?!?

You need stock recovery and locked bootloader to take updates

you don't need a locked bootloader to get an official ota update,however,you do need to flash a stock recovery !!.
I went through the ota update method to update my firmware as for some reason my htc one wouldn't s-off and I felt that it wasn't running as it should on custom roms with the old firmware.
I started off with a flashable zip -4.06.1540.2,developer edition then ota updates,always doing a nand backup of rom.
always pull the stock recovery image from the ota before updating...
i'm now running 5.11.1540.9 firmware and all custom roms are running good...
if you google 4.06.1540.2 dev edition flashable zip you should find it,if not,i can upload it too somewhere for you...
an official htc ota update changes your firmware and installs a stock recovery..
its a bit long winded this way,but,it was the only way for me !!

First thank you for sharing your experience.
When you say "zip -4.06.1540.2,developer edition" then you mean the rom, correct?
Why would you pull the stock recovery from the OTA before updating? What would be the consequence of leaving it in?
...
so i would download the odexed stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48111304
and afterwards flash the according recovery.img, correct?
i guess it is no problem that my phone (and their for the bootloader) was not a developer edition

yeah,it's a full flashable rom,that can be installed by custom recovery,when I say pull the stock recovery,i mean copy it to a folder on your pc,always best to have the matching recovery for your stock rom.

Can someone give me a link for Stock Recovery ?

Hi Can someone give me a link of stock recovery ?

Which recovery version ?
Are you updating to 7.19.401.2 ?
If yes, you can use this one : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/Recovery/STOCK/7.19.401.2_recovery.img/download
If others ... keep looking then

I have unlocked my bootloader, will I still be able to get OTA Uppdates ?

OTA update don't rely on unlocked or relocked bootloader (there is no need to relock bootloader) ... as long as you have pure stock ROM (no files removed or modified) and a matching stock recovery ... no problem to get OTA updates

Firmware update problems after rooting

Hey , im new to rooting and the forums so sorry if somethings are not properly explained.
I recently managed to root my uk variant m7 unlocked to any service with the latest twrp recovery.
I have recently found the venom rom which i would like to install to futher customize my rooted device, but i need to upgrade my android to 5.0.2 and i am currently on 4.2.2.
in the toolbar it says 'system update avaliable' and after installing it says 'system update ready' and im guessing this will bring me to 5.0.2 firmware. after clicking on it it reboots my phone and for some reason enters the recovery. from this point i do not know what to do.
so to summarise, i need to upgrade my m7 from 4.2.2 to 5.0.2 nut when i do it enters my twrp recovery and i do not know what to do
system details:
HTC One M7 UK variant unlocked to any service
rooted with SuperSU
Stock rom (4.2.2)
Stock kernel
Thanks

no, there are a lot of updates between 4.2.2 and 5.0.2

Because the ota update is supposed to be flashed from stock recovery.

You can't update your phone in its current status. You need stock recovery installed, unmodified /system files and /data/preload which is deleted during the htcdev bootloader unlock process. You'll probably need to use a RUU or something else.

Unfortunately, this is not really relevant info, post the output of "fastboot getvar all" command, remove your IMEI # before posting.

so i have to unroot my phone
great this is going to take a while :/
if i factory reset my phone will it remove the bootloader and root?

What? You might want to read about what a bootloader is
A device without a booloader is called a paperweight

A factory reset only wipes user data. Root files are stored in /system partition which is not affected by a factory reset so short answer no, like I said you'll probably need a RUU or something else (stock odex rom/nandroid backup/guru reset rom) to reset your phone back to stock. Post the output of "fastboot getvar all"

Its possible to download the update elsewhere and install it through twrp recovery?
If yes, where i can find these updates in zip form?
If not, what's the simple option to install the update?
thanks

If your phone is S-off, you can download the Ota zip files and install them incrementally (can't skip a version) using stock recovery. That doesn't change the fact that all files in /system and /data/preload must be unmodified.
Imo, the simplest way to update if your phone isn't stock is with a RUU. If your phone is stock, reflash stock recovery and update with Ota, if it's stock and soff you can update with Ota zip files if you can find all the ones you need.

Stock rooted rom

Hey can anyone give me the idea about the stock rooted roms? If i flash those then it should be pre rooted right? I dont have the bootloader unlocked and i dont want to. So can i just flash the stock rooted rom to get root access? If so can anyone give me any link for m8 hk edition marshmallow stock rooted rom? Help please

Stock rooted is exactly what it says it is, it is a stock ROM with root. You have to have TWRP to flash a ROM to begin with, which means you have to unlock the bootloader.

Thanks for the reply. Now i have already flashed the marshmallow stock in my phone. I had kitkat 4.4.4 rooted rom and i lost the root. As you said that i have to have twrp to flash a rom but i already flashed one before where i did not have to unlock the bootloader. I have super cid and s-off. So if i just flash the marshmallow firmware and then marshmallow stock rooted rom via hboot i dont think i need to unlock bootloader right? When i got my phone it had stock rooted 4.4.4 and the bootloader was LOCKED. So can i flash a similar marshmallow stock rom? I dont wanna install twrp or something. I just want to follow the thread of OMJ to flash the stock rooted rom. But i didnt get the marshmallow hk model stock rooted in that thread. So if u have the link of it can u give me?

If there is a stock rooted MM rom it will be in the RUU thread.
If there is one there, it will require unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed in order to install.
