I've been out of circulation of the whole xda thing for a while with my HTC One M7 (AT&T version) but I decided to convert the thing to GPE and get updated to android 5.1.
The conversion went smoothly using this guide but now I am having some troubles applying the OTA to update to 5.1
I have tried unrooting by using the unroot option on SuperSU and then flash the OTA using stock recovery, only to find that when I want to access stock recovery I get a screen with the android alien lying down and the error "No command".
I figured I could flash the stock recovery with fastboot to fix this (downloaded 5.11.1700.3 from here) but I still get the same screen and error when selecting the recovery option from the fastboot screen.
In a desperate move I also tried flashing CWM and trying to flash the zip file but the OTA fails to install that way.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance for your help

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

Probably you don't have the stock rom or the recovery, because the secure warning come out when you aren't fully stock..
Look on this site: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
Mine One works now fine and i have update to the latest OTA.

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.
All - i rooted my ATT HTC ONE, installed the stock 4.4 Kitkat Sense 5.5 ROM and TWRP Recovery.
Then i received the notification for 4.06.1540.3 update. But after downloading, the phone rebooted into recovery and doing nothing.
I also tried download the zip to the phone and tried to flash the zip but also failed.
How should i install this update? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Ugh. I cannot restore stock recovery to my rooted HTC One Developer's Edition. I can install CWM and TWRP with no problem. But flash the stock recovery and all I get is the red exclamation point.
S-ON
HBOOT 1.55.0000
CID: BS_001
I cannot get OTA updates and I get Error 155 when I try to return to stock using RUU.
Maddening.
Are there any suggestions as to how to get to where I can receive OTA again? I can't believe how difficult it has been to restore the stock recovery.

As cIsA said, the raid exclamation mark you got is the first page of the stock recovery. Stock recovery is not intended for user so you have to make the power +volume trick to access the menu.
Hi, I'm having trouble taking the OTA 5.03.651.3 update.
Running:
stock rooted 4.06.651.9.
TWRP
I'm S-OFF
What I've done:
Flashed stock recovery
Rebooted into stock recovery to verify it's actually there and such
What's happening:
I've flashed stock recovery twice using fastboot (MD5SUM verified on the stock recovery, downloaded from two different sources)
I reboot into the phone OS and it prompts me to download the OTA 5.03.651.3 update.
Download completes, phone reboots to run OTA update
Phone sits for a while at the stock recovery screen (Device icon with a red triangle and exclamation point)
Phone reboots into OS and has not updated anything.
Cycle repeats, upgrade prompt, download, reboot, again...again....
I'm not a complete noob, but I don't know where to turn next except to just run the older RUU I have and let it start taking OTA updates from a few releases back.
Or would it better at this point to just flash TWRP again, find/flash firmware and 5.03.651.3? I have my data backed up, but I'd really rather not have to go about restoring it again if I can help it.
Can anyone provide any possible insight on this? Feeling a bit lost.
Never mind, I just ended up flashing the OTA rom and firmware instead of trying to take the lazy way out.
Hello,
Tried rooting my phone with no prior experience. Worked, but eventually I got to where the phone wouldn't boot past splash screen (logo came up, then screen went black while backlight is on and didn't respond to stimuli until battery was removed). Possibly resulted from a build.prop file problem. Did get into boot though, so I fixed that problem by installing a cyanogen rom from a zip file using twrp recovery. I didn't want a custom mod though since I'm used to the look and feel of the 4.0.3 ICS I had, and the cyanogen doesn't seem to have google play so I can't even download anything (original purpose of rooting was to get incompatible apps by spoofing via build.prop file). Currently trying to get back to stock. Unfortunately I didn't make a nandroid backup of the system before the problem occurred, hence I have no backup to flash.
What I tried:
1. Use the official HTC 4.0.3 RUU .exe to upload to the phone. Unfortunately HTC Sync doesn't see this phone, even though I have the correct drivers installed.
2. Attempted to use twrp recovery to install the rom.zip extracted from the RUU directly, the same way I successfully installed the cyanogenmod rom. Failed, claiming it's unable to open zip. The .zip file was checked for integrity and returned by an archiver app.
3. Tried to use these commands from the cmd with phone connected to install the .zip from fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRuu
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (rom.zip being the functional file of the stock rom)
Failed, saying it's not allowed. Tried it with both locked and unlocked bootloader, no difference.
4. Unzipped the file and tried to flash the system.img file directly, but that failed with a "data length is too large" error.
5. My recovery being twrp 2.1.1, tried looking for altenatives. Can't find any links to download the WCX recovery, but I found several for newer twrp versions, including 2.3.1.0 and 2.6.3.0 which I tried downloading flashing. After flashing the phone got stuck at the cyanogenmod loading logo and wouldn't boot further, and the recovery itself didn't work, just showed the HTC splash, turned black, then booted again normally, getting stuck at the cyanogen logo. Same thing for the 2.6.3.0 version, so I reflashed the original 2.1.1, at which point I can get into recovery but the phone is still stuck at the cyanogenmod during normal boot. At this point I installed the original cyanogenmod .zip from recovery and now at least the phone boots up normally. Still need to get stock back somehow.
Out of ideas and exhausted from this. Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps anyone has a working stock 4.0.3 rom for the Vivid, nandroid backup, etc., or any other ideas. Thanks for reading.
Oh crap...
OK... First... Stock rom can be found in development... Most of the roms there are stock... Read the OP... It'll tell you...
Second... You should use TWRP 2.5.3.0 or something like that I forget...
Third... When you tried the ruu... Did you relock your bootloader...
Side note... Could you get your phone to show up with 'fastboot devices'
I'm setting up a RAZR i for a family member but cant seem to install latest OTA. It will boot to recovery fine and looks like its installing but half way through the sick android logo pops up and it reboots telling me the update failed.
I dont know if it has any significance but i unlocked the bootloader prior to trying the OTA update and also flashed TWRP recovery.
After realising the OTA required stock recovery i flashed a stock recovery image but i have no idea if this is version specific. I pulled the recovery file from LeBobo's recovery flasher tool.
The system version i'm running is 91.2.29001.XT890.Retail.en.GB does anyone have the required stock recovery i can use please?
