I've been trying to get the 1.29.1540.16 update in my HTC One Dev Edition. So I tried to flash the Stock RUU I downloaded from the HTC site, then download the OTA and then run it from the phone but it just takes me to the TWRP recovery (after I unlocked the bootloader, on "relocked" it just took me to the fastboot screen). What am I doing wrong?
Also when the first time I flashed the RUU (like 2 weeks before) the "Tampered" went away, this time this isn't happening.
Tried relocking/unlocking.
Don't know what to do. Help very much appreciated.
You have to flash the stock recovery first then run the RUU.

I feel really dumb asking this but how do I flash the stock recovery? I thought the stock recovery and Stock RUU were the same thing.

Recovery is different and it's not included in the RUU (I think). To flash the stock recovery you need to be in fastboot mode and flash via adb. Use this guide by mike1986. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618. Scroll down to the "Going back to stock" section.

Really appreciate the replies. Method 2 of the link you gave me is what I've been doing, but I still see the tampered label and my phone keeps booting back to TWRP (shouldn't this be uninstalled?).

Download this: http://d-h.st/b5g
Put it in your adb folder
Reboot to bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed-dev.img
Then you can use the OTA

Didn't answer before cause I went out to the movies (and of course I didn't enjoy the movie thinking of this).
Right on the money Mac!. Hadn't unlocked the bootloader, did it and worked like a charm. Can't thank you enough, I could install the OTA and that fixed the issues with the capacitive buttons that were my only reason to do so (although phone's so great I think I'd have used it with the buttons issues as well), one last question though: I still have the "tampered" sticker, is that because I did it the other way around? I mean, should I have installed the img file you gave me and then flash the Stock RUU and that would have erased it?

Hey i have got the same problem, can you guide me?
I already rooted my First on 1.05 and want to update to 1.08 since I want to go S-OFF and I saw in that thread it's for 1.08.
I tried the RUU dozens of times on 2 completely different Windows 7 x64 PCs. It sat at the Sending...... step for awhile with the phone on an HTC logo screen, and then ended in Error 155. I also tried booting into FASTBOOT USB and trying it. Same thing. Has anyone got the RUU to work? If so, what's your MD5 hash? Mine is 425MB and I would think it's a good copy since it was able to extract itself into Appdata\Local\Temp folder with no errors.
I saw in the RUU thread there's also just the OTA .zip. It won't install with TWRP. I'd have to flash to stock recovery to install it, but I couldn't find any place to get the stock recovery.
Any solutions?

I have a related problem, after bricking the phone I flashed the RUU and I cannot re unlock the bl again, anyway try to flash cwm instead of twrp and then retry with the Ota.zip. I don't know if this can solve your problem, but I've noticed that with twrp some roms did not work to me. I think also that the RUU does not work with unlocked bl, so you have first to relock, but if you do this you could have the same problem I have, that is you can't re unlock the bl... I am not an expert so I cannot assure you that these procedures are ok...

Thanks, that was the problem; I had to relock the bootloader and then the RUU worked. I was able to re-unlock the bootloader with no problems though. I used the All-In-One kit to do it and reused the Unlock_code.bin that I used on 1.05.

I must be blind, I swear I looked for flashable zips but couldn't find them. Too late since I already flashed the RUU, but hopefully that will help someone else who runs into this issue.

So the kornklown69 theory that also mine is correct, is S-OFF the problem. To re-unlock probably the phone must be S-ON.
So the procedure could be: Relock -> S-ON -> Re-unlock -> S-OFF.
But I don't understand how to obtain S-ON again.
Anyway my phone is Relocked and I can install custom roms, kernels and root it... Very strange!
That makes sense. With my original Droid Incredible, an S-OFF hack came out before HTC official BL unlocking and there was never any reason to unlock it since S-OFF was all you needed to install custom ROMs and root. So if you're S-OFF, there's probably no need to re-unlock it.
Having the same issue. In another thread, jmz said:
In my stock Rom thread there are new files up. They are the ota roms. So if you are running stock, download the odex one ending in 1.08 and flash in recovery, no need to wipe data. Then pull boot.img and fastboot flash it. You now have the ota software. I will post instructions to upgrade the firmware that came with the ota

I know what the odexed rom is, but can someone explain how to get the boot.img and fastboot flash it? Or should I just relock the bootloader?
Hello, I have HTC One Intl (see my signature) on everything stock. Phone is S-off and rooted. Yesterday I had seen 4.3 OTA notification, downloaded it and tried to install, but installation failed in recovery (red triangle with exclamation). I've tried it several times, but no luck - phone reboots to recovery, installation process begins and fails at ~30 per cent.
Help me find out, why it happens (maybe i can find installation log somewhere, but don't know where to search) and how to install this update.
You need:
- Stock Recovery
- Stock rom without root
- Locked/Relocked bootloader
After your phone can install the OTA.

Recovery is stock.
Can I use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to temporary unroot? At least it gives such possibility, don't know will it work or not.
Is locked/relocked bootloader obligatory? if yes, I will search how to relock it again.
Thanks.

Dont mean to intrude, but I'm pretty sure he can leave the bootloader unlocked, even root I think
He does need to have stock recovery, stock rom (including the preloaded apps that get deleted when unlocking), I think that's about it.

Mate i have a friend that with s-off needed a relocked bootloader for OTA.
I'm not sure.
but i think is better upgrading with a flash or firmware and rom.

make sure the "preload" apps are for your version, mate!!
If you signature is correct: "ROM: Stock 2.24.401.8 (Android 4.2.2)" Maybe just best to use the Guru Reset ROM.
EDIT: I recommend full backup to PC first though, just in case!!

then you may just be missing the "preloaded" apps, here's an idea, why not dirty flash (ie no WIPE) the Guru Reset ROM: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
BTW: the reason I mentioned the backup to PC, is one time I flashed stock recovery (and accessed it), and i was unpleasantly surprised it wiped my internal storage.

Good luck, and if you do (and wanna help the rest of the community) can you try with both ROOT and unlocked bootloader first, and see if it works.
I know it's a bit of a hassle but at least you would be able to confirm if ROOT or unlocked bootloader are interfering with the update

Yes it will wipe your phone just like it came from the factory, so backup anything important to your PC.
Yes there a HK RUU's and non HK RUU's in the thread I linked.
You can download the RUU directly from HTC:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/
It is located at the bottom of the page. But you might want to wait a few days and download the Lollipop RUU when it releases. It will replace the current KK version once approved and FOTA is pushed out.

Here are some things to try.
Did you re-lock your bootloader?
Try a different USB port (USB2 work best)
Try a different PC.
To get back to bootloader press power vol up until the screen turns black then hold vol down.
If you know how to use adb/fastboot commands you can open a cmd and type
fastboot reboot-bootloader

I have been running this rom for quite some time and I wanted to know the procedures while being s on to upgrade the entire phone. I'm also enclosing a screenshot of my current firmware and ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated I haven't done this since I first got my m8
Download the most recent RUU from the thread linked below to your computer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
Make sure your phone has a full charge. Reboot your device to the bootloader and connect your phone and computer via USB cable. Select the fastboot option from the menu and you should show that you're connected via fastboot USB mode. Open up a command window with ADB and type the command "fastboot oem lock". Press enter. This command will re-lock your boot loader. Now, double-click the RUU file you downloaded to start the installer. Be patient, as it may take a few minutes for the installer to start. Once it starts, follow the prompts on your computer screen. Once the RUU completes you can disconnect your phone from your computer and reboot your phone. The RUU will wipe the internal storage on your phone, so make a back-up and store it on your computer or your external SD card, if applicable.
Can i unlock the bootloader again after doing all this by typing fastboot oem unlock in adb?
I just wanna make sure I update everything correctly and get set up for a new Rom. I'm not getting all my calls or texts. So I am guessing the radio is too outdated

The stock recovery will be installed. Additionally, you'll need to use HTC Dev to unlock your phone again. That's the best way to update being S-on.
So there's no way to just update the firmware and radio without having to go through the rest of that?
Actually I just looked up how to get s off on my phone I'm going to use the fire water tool and then I'll use that link to get the firmware and flash that with the fuu

And this is what I get. I suppose nothing is simple. I got no clue what is wrong.
Kernel info
Flash a stock rooted ROM from the RUU thread I mentioned previously, then try it again.
I locked boot. Ran a ruu from boot and destroyed my os and it took me all night to recover. Can you please show me how to restore to stock? I'm kinda over it
Now that you've run the RUU, go ahead and run the Sunshine exploit. Afterwards you can go about installing recovery and flashing a new ROM, if you'd like.
Not paying 25 bucks. I'm just wanting stock. My phone got too close to getting the hammer. I'm just gonna go stock. Don't know how
