Hello! I received the 1.29.1540.16 update today. I have the Team Win's recovery flashed on my Dev Edition. When I try to update, TWRP starts and no update happens.
How should the OTA updates be addressed with custom recoveries?
Same here... I have a rooted Dev Edition with CWM Touch recovery. Got prompted to update to 1.29.1540.16 (currently on 1.29.1540.3). Tried to install a couple of times, but, it just reboots without installing the update.

%$($*&%(@%... I was too hasty. Rebooted to recovery, wiped cache and tried to flash the downloaded OTA update zip (named OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.16_R-1.29.1540.3_release_318620_signednimix5ealszkrygs.zip) which I found in the downloads folder.
It started the installation, and is now hung at the "Running bug-fix1 tool..." step.
Not sure how long I should wait before aborting it. Am concerned that aborting (forcing a reboot) will cause more damage.

abort and restore you backup
Aborted... rebooted... looks OK. Still on 1.29.1540.3. Still prompted to update. So, basically, status quo.
Looked around for stock recovery - the only ones I find are the 401 (instead of 1540) - which, if I understand, is from the international version and NOT the Dev Edition. Can anybody please help me get the stock recovery for the Dev Edition. (My first nandroid backup was *after* installing CWM and rooting.)

or just flash the ruu for your phone
But, doesn't flashing the RUU wipe apps/data? I'd like to do this in the least destructive way possible. If I can get away with just flashing original recovery, installing the OTA update and flashing CWM back, I'll be happy.
yes it will. if you can get away with that then go for it
I have cwm installed on my htc one and I couldn't ruu my one back to a stock image. It would freeze up during the flash image process in the beginning.
No harm in trying the 401 or 707 recoveries ... if OTA doesnt work, just hard reboot and flash another
AND REMEMBER - NO NEED TO RELOCK FOR OTA UPDATES !
Ok got this to work and here's how, it goes without saying that this was my experience and the steps I used and I by no means accept any responsibility for any of these steps functioning on any other device...
I was using TWRP 2.5 and was rooted but otherwise was still on the stock rom that my developer edition shipped with.
I went here and downloaded the stock recovery for .16.
I opened the rar file which included other bat files to push the recovery but I didn't use that. I went to the fastboot folder and pulled the recovery.img file and dropped it in my M7 all in one tool kit folder under data and recoveries.
I then plugged in the phone and opened the toolkit and flashed my own recovery and followed the directions in the toolkit. After reboot the device came up and wanted to load the update which I let it do.
It went through and loaded and the scroll bar went all the way to the end and stuck. I waiting ten minutes and when it didn't restart I held the power button for about 15 seconds (until buttons stopped flashing) and the device screen went blank and I let go of the power button.
At this point it went through a couple screens where it appeared to be loading the update. Scroll bar went to the end and the device restarted and did that again. On the third restart it did a full boot and was good.
I then went back to the toolkit and flashed the TWRP recovery and then after reboot I went into recovery and flashed supersu to get root back.
Not sure if this helps anyone but wanted to share my experience...

hi all,
sorry to sound like a complete idiot in advance !
I have been trying for over a month now to find some way to return my phone to stock so I can get the new ota update but im just having no luck !
I have tried everything to unroot , relock boot loader, and return to stock, I can successfully unroot, successfully relock the boot loader but cannot update OTA everytime I download the ota and allow the phone to start update process the phone boots into bootlaoder and a new line appears in the normal messages **** security warning*** when this happens I loose recovery and the phone hasn't updated. I then have to re-unlock the bootloader to then flash a recovery.
I cant flash RUU as there isn't an RUU available for me, H3G_001 , I have tried the suggested CWM nandroid backup, but this fails half way through something to do with android_secure
I cant seem to get the phone to successfully grant s-off to try the change cid method, I have tried to do this using HTC one kit by hasoon but no luck,
if anyone could please help it would me much appreciated
regards
okz19
Probably you don't have the stock rom or the recovery, because the secure warning come out when you aren't fully stock..

Is better link to XDA
still stuck!
hi all as you can probably tell form the age of this topic, I have been stuck for a while !!! (11 October ! )
I am still having problems trying to get the new update 2.24.771.3
my phone is carrier locked to three uk
it is unrooted
custom recovery cwm touch
bootloader unlocked / tampered
I understand I need stock recovery and to lock bootloader
I don't have stock rom
my problem is as follows, my phone has been telling me for atleast 4 months now that I have a software update, when I click it it restarts takes me to cwm recovery verifys install then gets stuck on cannot mount data ....
I understand I need to flash stock recovery, I have tried to do this using the "all in one kit" however when I click flash my own recovery, (phone reboots into bootloader) I then proceed to select the stock recovery.img the cmd box then hangs "waiting for device" I am then alerted by my computer that the usb device has malfunctioned. ( I am on windows 8 and have turned of signature verification)
I cannot use the supposed simple method of RUU as there isn't one available for my stupid network!!
I have tried to use a cwm recovery image, this usually starts then spits out android_secure is missing.
yes I do have a hammer ready to hit the phone with, but just before I do this is there ANYONE with any last tips to help me, because ive just about had enough with this stupid phone !
the phone has 24 hours left to live, can you save its life ?
thanks in advance for any help.
1. You cannot install an OTA with a custom recovery.
2. I've encountered a CWM bug having to do with .android_secure. There's a hidden folder in /sdcard that caused it, I don't remember whether this file is ".android_secure" or another. You can probably wipe the sdcard before restoring the backup. If that fails, you can probably manually restore the backup with ADB (this will be hard).
3. If you want to install the custom recovery, boot to the fastboot and use USB to install the recovery. Don't use a toolkit because they're useless when anything goes wrong.

You have 4.4.2 stock recovery. The OTA needs 4.4.3 (or above) stock recovery.
Download the OTA but dont install it, copy the OTA file to your computer, unzip it, you'll get firmware.zip, unzip the firmware.zip, you'll get recovery.img.
Flash that recovery.img.
Than install the OTA through setting -> software update, dont install OTA via recovery..
It should works..

indeed flashing new recovery did solve the problem. As i locked phone before (somewhere people were saying that it has to be locked to get OTA) i had to wipe the phone (titanum backup doesn't work without root)

Take the stock recovery out of the firmware.zip of the ota, flash that then try and update again.
But it also depends on what other mods you have done with your root etc, too many system mods and you'll just have to flash the stock full ruu of 7.19.401.2 to return to stock, then update, and then mod away.
Hi,
Sorry for delay and thanks for support.
I have extracted the firmware.zip and got 4 img files:
boot.img
hboot_signedbyaa.img
rcdata.img
recovery.img
Now series of basic question as I'm not feeling as an expert. I have rooted my phone half year ago and don't want to do something stupid now.
Which of above has to be flashed?
Is this the correct command: fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img ?
Another question is: do I lose my data?
Should I flush the newest twrp after OTA update?
I have clean HTC Stock ROM 'CID HTC__001 , HTC-WWE'
Thanks

[this is not 100% guaranteed]
the phone hangs after finishing the backup installation?
your stock recovery should be according to what version of firmware you are installing (although LP recovery works on KK).
wipe cahe and data if it still hangs then, try to flash stock [kitkat or lollipop] recovery again and then restart the phone.
I have download OTA, then extract and flash recovery.img. After reboot to system download an OTA again and it was installed without any errors but system stopped on white screen with HTC and android logo.
After three attempts I have restored nand backup and now phone is wroking, as before.
Is anything which I forgot?

you might want to flash the 7.19.401.22 ruu, it will update your phone and bring everything back to stock. RUU is in the general section, check sticky thread.

Looks like HTC didn't test this OTA very well, the update to .22 seems to soft brick a lot of phones, personally, as I use a custom rom on my M7, I just flashed the firmware only without a problem, just to bring it up to the latest, I didn't bother with the OTA, no point unless you are going to run stock rom.
What if I install RUU, how it affects to my data? It will wipe everything?

I will stay with current state. Hopefully I will not lose to much. Planning to have my M7 for the next year and then replace for the newer model.
I got an OTA update named OTA_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_7.18.531.35-7.18.531.2_release_450302.zip with size about 180MB.

I can't apply the update though because I have twrp and the phone is rooted. I was wondering if someone else got the update and applied it successfully on a rooted phone.

and the answer is probably yes since I don't see why T-mobile USA would push an ota update only to you
7.18.531.35 is the t-mobile US equivalent of 7.17.1540.35 which is the latest version with the stagefright 1.0 vulnerability fixed.

You need to be on 100% stock rom including stock recovery to install ota updates. Better to return to stock using a ruu before applying the update imo since many users soft bricked their phones when attempting to install lollipop ota updates on stock rooted phones. If you need the RUU, look in the RUU collection thread, there is a 7.18.531.2 RUU posted there (link in my signature). Don't forget that questions should be posted in the q&a section, not in general. :good:
Thanks for your help. I found the RUU for my version. So, since I need to go back to RUU flash, I will need to re-setup my phone from scratch again just for getting this OTA....sucks!!
I wish they would make it easier to update modified phones. Just overwrite my root changes to /system and destroy my recovery but keep my /data and /sdcard. I can recover from that much faster than doing RUU and set up from scratch!!
So, on m7, isn't there way to flash stock on /system and stock recovery through fastboot and then take the OTA? I have done that on at least Samsung and Moto phones in the past and it worked fine.
So, if I restore system and boot partitions from my backup to stock, can I sideload the OTA ZIP using TWRP?
I should have made a recovery.img from the original stock recovery partition. Do you know if I can find the stock recovery here somewhere?

or you can extract it from the ota update.
It was possible to update a stock rom + rooted phone simply by flashing the stock recovery back in the past (on kitkat roms and eariler) but it looks like its not possible anymore on lollipop updates. So much ppl posted here with the same problem: "Phone is stuck at HTC splash screen after installing update on stock rooted phone". Example here and here
The biggest problem if the ota install fine but the phone is stuck at the booting screen (like in the link above) is that your firmware will be updated to 7.18.531.35 so you won't be able to use the 7.18.531.2 RUU anymore unless you achieve S-OFF or edit your MISC partition.

One question: if I do fail to apply the OTA zip after restoring boot, system and recovery to stock, I will still be able to get TWRP back on the recovery through fastboot and restore my full TWRP backup to get a working system back, right? Is there a gotcha in that route?
