[Q] - android L update problem - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. I've got this odd problem with updating my HTC m7 to android L. I downloaded the file with 7.19.401.102 firmware number and then flashed the stock recovery from 6.09.401.111 stock ROM which I'm currently running on my phone. I started the installation and after some time the red triangle showed up and after restarting the update file was deleted... My phone is rooted with ElementalX kernel... Have I done something wrong? What should I do before updating(unrooting, going completely stock...)? Is this the right firmware for my phone?(my cid and mid are mid:711000 and cid: HTC__J15), if not, can someone tell me the correct firmware?
Can someone make a nand backup from 7.19.401.101 and upload it somewhere?
I'd appreciate any help... Thanks

You must be 100% stock rom (stock /system and /data/preload) + stock recovery.
restore your phone using a stock rom or nand for 6.09.401.111

Should I relock my bootloader as well? BTW I'm S-ON.
One more question, can you check if the firmware I'm running matches my cid and mid?

Yes it matches... you are s-on btw how could this not match:
You can't change cid
you can't change mid
you can't change firmware base.

yes you should. anyway you 'll need to update supersu once updated. Otherwise root will not work.
So
restore your phone to stock rom + stock recovery
update
flash twrp
flash supersu 2.16

sorry I kept asking about the firmware, it's because I was using a costume ROM for a period of time and I had no band backup from the stock ROM and I had forgotten my stock firmware number...
Anyway, thank you very much sir
I will try and report back

Should I also flash the firmware zip of my stock ROM or it's not needed?

if your firmware is already 6.09.401.111 (fastboot getvar all) you don't need to relfash it, just flash the 6.09.401.111 rom.

If you are returning your phone for service then you can run an RUU if your phone has one.
It will reset everything back to stock, even the firmware. Check here:

If your s-off then a RUU can downgrade your firmware. (I did this on a phone I returned for service without issues) If you are still s-on I don't think it will.
You just download the RUU.exe and run it on your PC and it guides you through resetting everything on the phone.

thank you very much,i'll try it.if there aren't my ruus of region,I use other region ruu,can I get warranty?
That depends on the carrier/vendor. If you don't have a RUU you could also run an RUU for another area (Since your S-off) to downgrade the firmware and then root it and use one of the posted stock nandroids to restore to your proper areas stock config. Then do the stuff to re-lock your bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497

I can back to stock rom,but firmware version can't change,because there aren't ruu of HongKong,any ideas to change firmware version?
Since your S-off you can change your CID to use another RUU like this one:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...14325013-1033115001-release-311678-signedexe/
The RUU will set the device firmware back to stock. Then restore your stock ROM and you should be ok.
Also if you have it stock rom and setup now, you may just want to put S-on so that it says Locked and S-on on bootloader and your vendor will probably not care about the firmware version.

The red warning in hboot is from being unlocked. Once you have back to stock (especially recovery) then the red warning will be gone. For sure after re-locking.

how can I backup stock recovery?
because there are not ruu of HK,so I should use TWRP to restore nandroid backup from HK htc one. then back to stock recovery .
Yes you would TWRP to restore and then flash the stock recovery and relock.
Here is a post where I helped another and it has the stock recovery and instructions for flashing if needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43625746&postcount=17
Just an FYI that this method will not downgrade the firmware, but just get you back to locked and a stock look, but with the newer firmware.
Let me know if you need something else.

I would flash a stock unrooted rom, but whatever you do make sure that the hboot is correct, and recovery if stock is required, match the build version of the 4.2.2 rom you're running.

No, s-on will prevent you flashing the wrong RUU. Anyway I'm 99% sure there will be no RUU availabe for you phone. WIth s-on you can only flash RUU that are same or higher version then what was on the phone before. There is no 4.4.3 RUU except for t-mobile which is not your version.
So unless you achieve s-off, you will not be able to use a ruu.
But there might be some others alternatives to bring your phone back to stock like a reset rom, stock odexed rom or a nanadroid backup,
Unfortunately, if you can't tell me more on your device (CID/MID and firmware version). I can't help you more and I cant point you the stock rom, reset rom or nandroid backup you need.

If that phone was s-on and on stock 4.4.3 before, it should be on hboot 1.57 which mean you'll need to use a 6.xx.707.xx stock rom/reset rom/nandroid backup. Not even sure if you'll need a .707 version.
There is a 5.xx.707.x reset rom in the general section. Maybe it could be that one, maybe not, but you could download that one so you'll be ready tomorrow.

its a stock rom so yes. He will be prompted to download and install the ota normally.
But if the phone firmware (x.xx.xxx.x) doesnt match that rom version (5.12.707.104), the ota installation might fail.

I found another reset rom, its a 6.13.707.106 version which is the latest version I think. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001611719
so tomorrow, check the getvar all, if the version main is 6.13.707.106 then flash the zip linked above
if the version main is 5.12.707.104, flash this one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567720676
in both cases, when flashing the zip, you'll be prompted to install stock recovery, stock radio and root. Say yes to install stock recovery and radio but say no for root.

Yes they are often used by many ppl here. Flash it using a custom recovery, no needs to relock the bootloader, once flashed, the custom recovery will be overwritten by the stock recovery so he will be able to install future ota updates.

Did you flash the nodded firmware without recovery, or with the HTC recovery? If you flashed modified firmware, just go back to your backup. If you flashed the unmodified, you need to RUU. But I don't know if you should flash the old or new RUU. I Don't know if there would be a problem downgrading firmware, hoot, etc. Safest bet is to flash the latest RUU and then try to root again.
Hi,
I moved your post to Q&A.
Please don't post in Development threads asking for help that's why we have a Q&A section.

If you're SOFF you don't need to relock bootloader. My suggestion is flash a custom recovery and backup your internal storage and run the latest RUU.

Did you flash the nodded firmware without recovery, or with the HTC recovery? If you flashed modified firmware, just go back to your backup. If you flashed the unmodified, you need to RUU. But I don't know if you should flash the old or new RUU. I Don't know if there would be a problem downgrading firmware, hoot, etc. Safest bet is to flash the latest RUU and then try to root again.

Assuming that you're on latest Sprint rom then yes. You already flashed unmodified so it doesn't matter at that point.
I'm gonna try to explain what happened to your phone... Because you updated your firmware you have the Lollipop kernel on your phone right know. Thats why your phone can't boot in to the system. Now you have several options and all of them needs you to have a custom recovery.
First: Install latest TWRP and try to flash a 4.4.2 Kernel. You'll probably can boot in to your system now. Copy OTA in your Internal storage and reflash unmodified firmware. After that just go to your stock recovery and install OTA from there.
Second: Since you could boot your system, backup everything you need and download the latest RUU and restore afterwards.
Since you're rooted my sugestion is the RUU method.

If you're S-ON you need to relock bootloader. If not you're good to go.

If you have issues, then that's what I would do. I've had issues with an RUU running unless I already had the latest firmware first. Here's a guide I wrote (mainly for s-off users) that should help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-reset-phone-using-ruu-htcfastboot-t2876110
