Okay, so here's the deal.
I have an AT&T HTC One that was running 4.4 Kit Kat (Click: this ROM) and is S-OFF via RumRunner. I am running the latest TWRP recovery.
Yesterday I got prompted for an OTA and accepted it (in the past, with GPE ROMs, it would just reboot to recovery and do nothing). This is the only way I know of to get rid of the annoying "System update available" notification. I figured it wouldn't do anything and I would simply reboot and be good for a few more days until it prompted again. Low and behold, it actually updated my phone to 4.4.2.
Now, I'm having some issues.
I was a user of DashClock Widget...but now I use Better DashClock. However, this app is now prompting me to download a key. When I try to download the key from the Play Store, I get the message:
Error: Couldn't install on USB storage or SD Card.
SwiftKey Keyboard has the same issue.
Other apps (such as ES File Explorer, ESPN, Fandango, etc. update just fine).
-------------
I have read a bunch of posts that suggest cleaning up temp files (which don't exist on my phone) and to download SELinux Mode Changer and change the mode to Passive...but to no avail.
Can someone help me? Is this the developers issue or did my phone do something wonky?
Thanks!
Exactly the same problem here. I've narrowed it down to paid apps that won't install. Followed the same possible solutions in the 1st post, nothing works. HTC One GE 4.4.2.

I had a similar problem. I downloaded the 4.4.2 OTA update and tried flashing it with TWRP three different times. All three times I got that same error message with some apps. It was extremely frustrating. I ended up flashing the stock 4.4 recovery and then flashing the update. It worked perfectly and the problem went away. I then reflashed TWRP.

I had a similar experience. Paid apps would not install from Play Store. Amazon app store or F-Droid apps would install.
But my journey was that I had a 4.4 GPE device suffering through an issue where I can't get my bootloader to unlock. So when 4.4.2 came out I wasn't getting the OTA so I tried flashing just the firmware package from the OTA download. That's when I was getting this error (after a factory reset).
But then next day I got the real OTA and after that the problem went away. So for me it was a firmware issue in that it wasn't the right firmware for my OS.
Weird that you are running 4.4.2 but having this issue. Any chance you didn't come to have 4.4.2 the "natural" way?

Update was OTA last night, so I guess its as natural as it comes.

Yeah...my process was as natural as possible.
I was on 4.3 at first...so when I was going to 4.4 KitKat I first flashed back to some basic stock Sense ROM to run RumRunner and attain S-OFF. Then I COMPLETELY NUKED my phone and went to 4.4 KitKat. Had no problems, got the OTA, and now this.
It's aggravating, that's for sure.
I really don't want to completely wipe my phone again and have to re-setup all of my home screens, etc.
I received the OTA which installed despite me having TWRP, not stock recovery (as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48586329). Now I have the same issue installing paid apps (the ones I had already installed before the OTA disappeared off the device).
Short of starting from scratch, I'm at a bit of a loss for a solution...
Nick
Sounds like this is wide-spread...or at least amongst the people who are running newer GPE ROMs on their Ones.
im having the exact same issues here

It looks like this is all to do with custom recovery and OTA updates. I have TWRP installed. This morning I flashed stock recovery. I then put the OTA update file on the phone storage. Then booted into the stock recovery (which is the first time I've seen it, it would be nice if it was the last as it's tricky to get into), then flashed the 4.2.2. update from there. Once I booted the phone again all my paid apps reappeared. No data lost in the process. I'm not sure if going back to TWRP not will cause the problem again, so for now I'll stick with stock recovery....

Also, you left 4.4.2 on the device and just 're-applied' the OTA update? Or did you go back to a NANDROID backup of you on 4.4 or 4.3?

Yeah, that's about it. I used adb to flash the stock recovery to replace TWRP, then used the stock recovery to flash the same update you linked to. After it was done updating I reflashed TWRP. And don't forget to make a nandroid.
Thank you! Will report back when I'm done!
What is the fastboot command to flash the OTA zip file?
I'm back on the stock recovery...phone is still booting/working so I just need to do the OTA part now.

Sorry, hectic day at work. I should have said that I applied the update with the stock recovery. Not fastboot.
I basically used the guide linked below to flash the update.

What if you don't have an "apply from adb" option?
I have:
- reboot system now
- apply from sd card
- apply from phone storage
- apply from cache
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Can't I just open a ADB shell while on the fastboot USB option?
So I received a notification to download the 5.1 update this morning on my rooted Nexus 6. I proceeded to click download and then install.
However, due to that I had TeamWin recovery installed the update failed on reboot. (didn't even try to install)
Now when I click on "Check for updates" in About in System Settings menu. It says that there are no new updates??? Even though it failed to install.
Does anyone know where the update is stored on the device before installation? Maybe i need to remove it before it will try and update again? (now that i have flashed stock recovery)
Any help would be very appreciated.
You need to unroot too.
Ota can be downloaded online.

Once you remove root, try pulling your Sim and rebooting. Let the phone sit, without Sim, and see if update reappears.

OTA update downloads to system/cache folder ... It may get deleted soon after you try installing and restart the phone. You need rooted phone and a file explorer like es file explorer for accessing system folder.

Check first whether you have it in your phone already. Rooted phone go to /cache folder you'll find something.Zip there.
Ok so i managed to get the phone to download the OTA again and attempted to install it again. This time with stock recovery.
Everything was looking good but it fails with "error" below the android logo.
Any ideas?
Sorry I can't help you. I don't want that AT&T 5.1 update. So I did what you did and hit install. It of course didn't. I use TWRP also. But the damn 5.1 update is back!

Using a stock image will wipe the device each time. The posters question is even more valid now since Google's doing security patches every month.

You only need to flash the system.img file within the Google image using fastboot.
After that, boot into TWRP and reflash SuperSU, XPosed, and anything else you've flashed that resides in /system.
Wipe caches and reboot. Easy, and no app or data loss.

Except, to be more complete, it might be a good idea to flash everything except data and boot - that is, in case changes are made to radio or anything else, but if changes are done to boot and are required for system or kernel and you don't put stock boot, you're kinda screwed (you'd need a different version of twrp in this case and it probably won't be out).
My point, there really is no complete way to know if flashing just system is enough to get all the security updates unless you look at what the update replaces. That's why I'm looking for the ota.zip

And thankfully Google put version numbers to the other files so takes about 15 seconds to realise you only need to flash system. If a change was made to radio you can still flash in exactly the same way as the system and not lose data...

Hi Rudi !
It is normal, if you flash with flashtool .ftf file, you lose root access. you must to be already rooted, have a recovery installed and flash the pre rooted zip if you want to keep root access. .ftf is à completely stock file. I don't use flashtool to flash .zip rom, I use twrp recovery for that. Maybe it is possible but I don't use it this way so I don't know and don't want to tell you something wrong about flashtool.
From my experience, if you are already root, you have just to install nut's xzdr recovery, you'll have full access to flash a pre root .zip rom built with super su and xzdr inside, to flash with twrp. So nothing to do more, you are already rooted with your old firmware and you keep root with a new firmware inside pre rooted .zip.
Hi ! Thanks for your fast answer. I hoped to gain root access the easy way, but it seems that I have to do more than just one install Br, Rudi

I don't know why, for me it worked at the first time. I don't exclude that I've done a mistake with uploading a wrong file but I need to know which file has the problem if there is one at least.
So what is your current system? Do you have a tablet sgp621? Are you root? What do you try to flash ? The .ftf with flashtool or .zip with twrp? My .zip files are signed, sometimes it appears that there are some problems with that (seen it for other Xperia device).
Maybe I'd suggest you to flash the 5.0.2 v.28 (.ftf with flashtool), to root it (with kingroot 4.1 and supersume), flash xzdr 2.8.21 (Pc version) and after flash the prerooted Rom of your choice with twrp.

Hi again !
Finally I took the time to go through all necessary preparation steps to finally have your prerooted firmware on my SGP621.
Works very welly so far including Root, with one exception: no SD card access.
I had this before and solved it with App NextApp SDFix, but this time it doesn't work.
Reason is that even with ES Explorer I can not get write access to change /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml.
One solution would be to flash an updated version of this file, but I'm still hesitating.
Seems this also blocks AdAway installation.
Anybody who has had the same experience and a solution for it ?
Thx !

I use adguard for ads so I can't speak about AdAway, xposed module of AdAway for YouTube works very well, also YouTube background.

Need help, Rooted the phone, via twrp, but I wanted to revert back to stock recovery, I try to flash stock recovery with fastboot, then unroot the phone.
Then I try to go to recovery mode, and got to rescue mode.
Turn off phone, and reboot, and start just as I had it with my apps and everything.
But no stock recovery Need your help guys, what sould I do?
Edit: I managed to reinstall TWRP
In future updates, do I have to reinstall stock ? Or TWRP works like stock recovery for updates?
I erase some system apps google, hangouts, etc
Can I factory reset with TWRP, and configure the phone again, or do I need to flash firmware on stock recovery?
Is there a flashable zip for TWRP to downgrade or update firmware?
Sorry for my bad english, noob here!
open "build.prop" file (with buildprop editor or root browser)
find line "ro.config.knox=v30"

I do not have root in my phone but i have the same problem (probably because the phone was rooted before) ..

I have a few solutions for you:
Root you phone again and edit build.prop, or flash official firmware again with Odin, or simply use Samsung Internet Beta for the time being
Thank you so much .. i will use the beta version .. it's working perfectly ?

I rooted my phone before but now i flashed with official rom i don't have access to system files i know i can root and then unroot my phone or flash TWRP recovey and edit it with ABD but the problem is if i do this the status won't be official i wanna change that build.prop and have official status what should i do?
I decided to edit MD5 rom file and change build.prop before i flash it so if i could change the MD5 rom files after i flash my phone the status will he official and the apps will work but how can i edit MD5 rom files?! it's hash!

If you did flash official firmware with odin and did not root it again, that line in build.prop should be set to v00. Why do you need official status for if i may ask?

well maybe I want to sell this phone in the future and those guys just check the rom status and some official apps
anyway I extract the md5 rom file and edit the build.prop file and compress it again but when I try to flash my edited rom it fails at flashing system
No need to edit room, just flash it with odin. Status should be official and that line in build.prop set to v00. Just a suggestion, maybe you can root your phone again and sell it as rooted, some people may prefer rooted phone to avoid hassle of rooting themselves. You said you rooted it once before so Knox is tripped forever and you cannot receive ota updates anyway. Greetings!!!
