Hello,
I have 4.4.2 installed on my One. I had rooted it with custom recovery. But as sense 6 is there I un-rooted it, locked it properly and removed tampered flag. Installed stock recovery and also put it in S-ON.
I can download OTA but while installing it is failing. It is showing red triangle and restarting it.
Can somebody help me to proceed further? If I go to HTC, will they update it?
I think , preload file is wiped when u unlocked ur device
Try installing ota manual and write the message

I am trying manually update it. But in recovery after red triangle it is restarting even after I press power and volume up button. So I am not reaching to recovery selection menu.

Did you flash the proper version of stock recovery? it Must be the same version as your phones currently installed OS.

Yes, it is the same version. I have kitkat 4.4.2 India version. I got it from some other thread.

Your problem is the current ROM is not 100% stock, some files are missing especially the preload.
1. What is your current software version no. ?
2. unlock the bootloader again and flash TWRP
3. flash a stock ROM.zip of your version no. or restore a proper nandroid backup
4. reboot and do the normal setup
5. reboot to bootloader
6. flash the stock recovery
7. reboot and do the OTA
So ... solve the no. 1 first.

Hey,
My software version number is 4.20.707.7 with HBOOT 1.56. I don't have stock ROM readily available anywhere like htc1guru etc., so I am downloading it from one of the xda thread.
Now
I will install TWRP,
reset stock ROM (there is also an option of installin stock recovery) once my download finishes.
Then again will lock boot loader,
put S ON back
update sense 6 OTA.

1. There is another file that you need to flash after that ROM zip.
See : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52981541&postcount=57
2. There is no need to lock boot loader and put S-On back (if now is S-Off) to do OTA update
Only stock recovery is needed

-------------------------
Just flash the latest TWRP
Take a nandroid backup just to be safe
Do a factory reset
Download the ROM file (Titan Prime)
Download the latest gapps for 5.0
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Reboot
Done
And about the bootloader update, that happens only when you use the OTA update. Otherwise it isnt necessary
I usually take the update first just because I like being up to sate but not necessary.

Bootloaders & Recovery are two separate things. A bootloader is usually updated through official means only (OTAs & such). Meaning, bootloaders don't get updated when you flash a recovery zip.
I'd suggest you keep your recovery as updated as possible, as it'll have certain bugs & compatibility issues resolved.
Many of you have heard by now that 5.1.1 is out, and we should receive an update soon on our stock rom Nexus 6. I just bought a Nexus 6 64gb, XT1103, and it is running the stock rom, rooted, and un-encrypted. I'm wondering if we'll lose root and un-encrypt if we take the update, and loose data if we re-unencrypt. What have your experiences been on the stock rom 5.1 update?

While the update will download, it will not install with root and an unencrypted kernel.
IF you want to take the OTA, then you will need to fastboot flash the boot.img and system.img from the factory image. Boot.img will encrypt your kernel, but you will not loose data (but you will have to factory reset, again, if you want to unencrypt, which will wipe data). Flashing the system.img will remove root and flash stock recovery.

so unroot and encypted will do the trick? what about the bootloader, will it work with unlocked or should it be relocked too?
5.1.1 is NOT officially out for the nexus 6. it is in aosp though. thats two differing things. stock is on 5.1.

The OTA package only looks at system.img and boot.img. Of course you need stock recovery to install it. And the "unroot" option inside SuperSU is insufficient. It leaves some traces around that will prevent the OTA from loading. Flash the stock system.img.
And afterwards, when unencrypting, you'll have to fastboot format userdata. Which will wipe your SDcard again.

Bootloader status has no effect on the OTA.
I have rooted, but encrypted 5.1, and got OTA5 5.1.1, I am on custom recovery,
should I flash stock recovery before flashing? plus, after installing, I will need to regain root access right? my data/apps will stay intact right?

As it says above, you cannot FLASH the update if you are rooted, even with a stock recovery.
You will have to flash the system.img and boot.img of the Stock factory image. IF the full factory image of the version you want is available here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
...download it, extract the system and boot.img and fastboot flash them. Job done. If the version you need is only available in an OTA file, you'll need to flash the system and boot of the expected version (i.e. the one you're on now) AND flash the recovery to accept the OTA

I am using a custom recovery, on a rooted but STOCK 5.1, and I already got OTA, I downloaded it as well, but needed to make sure before upgrading, that it doesn't cause data lose if I move to stock recovery, and want to regain root after flashing 5.1.1,
anyway, i flashed stock recovery, then proceeded with the update, it tried flashing but showed "error" at the android screen, so, I don't whats missing, as I was using stock 5.1, just unlocked it, rooted it, and flashed customer recovery,

No. Only factory reset or unlocking the bootloader loses data. System.img is the rom, flashing to /system. Boot.img is the kernel, flashing to /boot. if you flash these separately, userdata.img is not flashed to /data, so your /data partition remains in tact.
root doesn't touch /data either. Just /system

Yeahhh I get that now. It's got to verify that what's already there matches what it's supposed to be updating.
I'm looking here because I'm on Fi now, and there are more implications there than I realized before. Not that those matter too much, I do want stock. Just trying to see how I can stay current, be rooted, and not break Fi. Thankfully it's a Nexus device so it's not throwing up insane device restrictions blocking root access.
I want to be able to update system and boot, as they come available, with a recovery like TWRP or CWM. Then reapply SuperSU flash after that. What I'm not sure of is whether I can even do that. I'm fuzzy on the whole " encrypted device" thing. Does that apply to the images at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
Would I be hosed if I took the system and boot images and flash those to update from one version to the next?

You absolutely can, it's just that if you wish to decrypt, you'll have to format data. I've had this device, since launch and I'm still encrypted. Not an issue for me. But you can just flash, individually, everything but userdata and keep your data intact, each time a new image becomes available. Then just flash TWRP and then SuoerSu from TWRP. If you've unencrypted, OTA won't flash. You can always update manually.
edit - this was a duplicate. i can't delete it.

Oohhh, wait, so flash from fastboot, except flash SuperSU from TWRP? (update.zip style?) Is only the data partition encrypted then? If that's the case why are folks decrypting? Unlocking the bootloader requires it, but what is that required for?
And thank you loads BTW! I'm so far behind! I'm coming off 3 years of rooted, stable SGS3 stock, last updated to 4.1.2. There were no further stock updates that I wanted, (too many bugs) and everything was working so I left well enough alone.
(I probably would have messed about with CM and other roms, if I had not initially bricked the thing trying to put TWRP on... and had to send it for somebody to JTAG reprogram it. Thought about it several times, but never wanted to chance it again.)
Thanks again!
Coming from stock, unlocked, rooted, with twrp, Xposed with some modules, & got notif for update to 7.21.707.21
This is what I did:
1. Unroot
2. Flash stock recovery
3. relock bootloader
4. Download the OTA
5. Instal the OTA
6. After boot sound, It keeps on HTC logo
7. Force restart (Power + Vol down)
8. Enter stock recovery & choose reboot system
9. Stuck on black screen (boot sound doesnt appear)
Any suggest?

Look through this RUU collection and find the RUU which matches your current version paying particular attention to the CID & MID. Follow the instructions in the OP once it is installed then try the OTA.
@elias.parasini You can flash twrp do a full wipe and then flash a custom Rom.. if you prefer stock your best bet would be a nandroid backup.
I've had the same problem with a different version. Look here:

You can also use a ruu like majmoz suggested but that'd require s-off if I'm not mistaken. Can you post your getvar all?

@elias.parasini Go to fastboot and enter the command "fastboot getvar all" then post the result here after removing your imei and serialno.
If you still can't boot the phone you're gonna need to download a twrp nandroid backup if you prefer stock. If you're willing to try a custom Rom then you can choose one and flash it using twrp. Do you know how to use nandroid backups nd custom roms?
Ps. You don't have to relock the bootloader before ota.

That backup will work to get your phone back up and running, but you won't be able to update, the reason is because you are already on the latest hboot, and the ota's will come with an older hboot, you can't back flash hboot without s-off, so if you try and install any ota's, you will get stuck in a boot loop, you need a twrp of your current version main or previous version really, or get s-off so you can back flash the hboot, only way to do this is through sunshine which costs $25.

Unfortunately revone, rumrunner etc won't work with hboot 1.61, sunshine is the only way to s-off this hboot.
With your restore, it worked because you only went back 1 step to kitkat rom, the ota which you then upgraded to contained hboot 1.61 and as you were already on that hboot, that part of the upgrade would of just been skipped,
If you have of restored an older nand for instance, like jelly bean whilst having hboot 1.61, and then tried to ota to kitkat, you would fail and get stuck in a boot loop as the ota would have tried to flash the kitkat hboot 1.56 or 1.57 and failed as even the ota can't downgrade hboot without s-off, which is the situation this guy is in, he needs a newer nand than the one you linked really, either a 6.xx.707.x or a 7.xx.707.x nand.

Easiest way is to restore a twrp backup( if made any..). If not, i assume that you have a fully working twrp build. First flash stock recovery through twrp or fastboot. Now flash a fresh copy of Eui 19s through stock recovery. Voilla! You're done!
