did anyone get a security update on their m7 this morning? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
Did anybody else get it?
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.

Should post this question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305490
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?

The ota is flashed using the stock recovery, and the stock recovery is also updated in that process.

Yes, either using a RUU, or a combination of a stock rom/backup (/system partition) flashed using twrp and then flashing the stock recovery back.

No, the updater-script will only work with stock recovery

You can't backup the stock recovery directly from the phone (actually yes you can but it requires s-off and its somewhat complicated.

already uploaded here:

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.

Thanks for the great help! I can't thank you enough.
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?

Backup Recovery and ROM on htc one

Hi there!
I've just switched over from iPhone to android and want to root my HTC One. But before I do that, I would first like to make a backup of the stock ROM and stock recovery (if I want to go back to stock later because of service, selling the device and so on).
When i searched the web i found this guide. The guide mentioned that you could boot TWRP through "fastboot boot recovery.img" without flashing the recovery and then make a nandroid backup of the entire stock system (with the recovery included).
But when i tried doing it through fastboot the boot loader frooze and i had to restart the phone. How do i make a backup of the stock ROM and recovery if i can't do it like described in the guide?
I know you should be able to install an RUU if you wan't to go back to stock but i run a carrier branded phone with a CID that has no available RUU's...
I currently run Stock HTC Sense ROM and recovery with a unlocked bootloader through htcdev.com.
So how do i make a backup of the stock recovery and ROM, I would really appreciate all possible answers and theories!
Thanks for the reply!
You can install TWRP and backup your stock ROM, and for the recovery what you can do is download an OTA update from somewhere around here on the forums, extract it and you will find the stock recovery inside it and you can flash it easily the same way you flash TWRP using fastboot but what I dont know is if you have to find an OTA for your carrier branded phone or the recovery isn't affected by carriers, I hope someone can answer this question!

Yes i also wonder if you have to find a specific OTA for your specific phone or if the recovery is "universal" for all different versions. My CID is H3G_G04 which seems to be a specific version for the operator three (3). I have not been able to find any RUU's or OTA's for that specific CID.
It would be awesome if anybody could answer this!

If it's a new phone and has hboot 1.54 then you can't boot into recovery through fastboot as HTC have blocked this. You will have to flash recovery and then do your backups. There are plenty of sources around for the stock recovery if you require it later.

[Q] Will OTA from Sense 4.3 to 4.4 unroot and wipe my custom recovery?

Hello,
I have a Developer Edition (unlocked) with Stock 4.3 at the moment, is rooted and with TWRP 2.6.3.0 custom recovery, my phone is asking me to upgrade to 4.4. My questions are:
- What would be the results of the upgrade?
- It will flash over my custom recovery without problems?
I guess I will loose root and custom recovery but I can flash them again, my main concern is that the OTA will not flash correctly for being rooted and with custom recovery. Thanks a lot for those that know the answer and want to help me.

Actually, you won't be able to do an OTA update when you've a custom recovery (you shouldn't even get it in the first place, sometimes it comes through), if you try to apply the OTA, you'll boot back to the TWRP recovery.
So, you should either go full stock (recovery & ROM), then do an OTA. Or flash some 4.4 Custom ROM.
By itself the phone alerted me that the OTA download is available and wants to download and flash itself as it did when it upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 so I am not planning to flash through TWRP...

it will download OK, but when it reboots to start installing, you'll just see the TWRP screen and nothing is gonna happen; because the OTA expects stock recovery.
Thanks!!!!
I guess I better flash another 4.3 or 4.4 by myself, I just thought the OTA would be better first to upgrade to the latest firmware...

you can do two things:
1- get s-off and flash any firmware you want
2- "download & install later" the OTA, once downloaded pull it to your PC, the OTA file will contain a "firmware.zip" which is signed and can be flashed in fastboot ruu mode (you have to issue the flash command twice!!!), which would upgrade your firmware (including hboot, kernal and recovery), but will leave your rom intact
----- because it flashes recovery, you need to reflash custom recovery
----- and, kernel (boot.img) you'll need to reflash the custom one (or dirty install the ROM), otherwise the ROM won't boot up

I've looked around for a CWM compatible version of the Dev Edition + Root, but I'm not finding one. Is anyone aware of a CWM-packaged version that I can flash using CWM on a rooted device? Reverting to stock to pick up the OTA seems like a long way to go

OTA update

Hi guys!
I've finally received 4.4.4 notification to update my German Moto x!!
I'd like to know one thing before I proceed.. If I update, will I have to root again the phone?
My phone has unlocked bootloader so there is no problem, but right now I'm on holiday and I don't have a pc to root it again..
Thanks a lot!
I have not upgrade to 4.4.4 yet.
I don't think you need to root again
Thanks!
I've read some other user just flashed the stock recovery, installed the ota and flashed back twrp recovery..
Others instead use fwz method
I think I'll wait until I'm home just to be sure I need my phone during the holidays!

Hi, i was wondering the same thing. Is there a method for someone to create an update for rooted phones?
Also can you link me to the threads for flashing back to stock and what this fwz is?
thank you
Here you can find some info about FXZ (sorry for my typo)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/fxz-moto-x-4-4-4-212-55-26-t2827307
In the same thread you can find the stock recovery, a user posted it. Just search stock recovery in the thread and you'll find it!
I'm not the right person to help you in detail.
I'm not an expert user
In the meantime I froze motorola OTA app to hide the update notification..
Guys, before anyone gets in trouble....there is no FXZ for the german (or any asia/european) Moto X's yet.
The only one released is the Verizon one....so DON'T flash the verizon FXZ.
You need to flash stock recovery back, and if the phone STILL won't take the OTA, also use "mfastboot" to flash system.img from the 4.4.2 FXZ (which IS released for the european/asia models). Afterwards, the OTA should install without fail.
You WILL need to re-flash TWRP no matter which method you use. You will also need to re-root IF you flash the system.img from the 4.4.2 SBF in order to be able to accept the OTA (you only flash system.img from 4.4.2 if the OTA fails after you have flashed stock recovery - it normally means you have modified /system in some way, and restoring the full system.img fixes this issue).
Good Luck - Remember: Don't flash the Verizon 4.4.4 FXZ to your non-Verizon phone. Not a good idea...
If your phone doesn't vary from Stock but rooted, you can get away with flashing stock recovery back on there and taking the OTA. (OTA wont install via custom recovery like TWRP, CWM, etc). And if that is the case, you will retain root. You can optionally flash TWRP back on there.
If you have Xposed installed, it will need to be disabled or removed for the OTA install to work.
It is when you mess with stock files in /System or other folders on the phone.. i.e. remove, rename, etc. files from them, that you may also need to flash system.img and possibly other parts. This is due to verification checks in the OTA zip itself. If you have to flash those parts, you will have to re-root. Not an issue if you have an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks a lot for your help and clarification!!
I knew I wasn't the right person
Guys just to be sure of the right process..
-download the actual sbf of my phone
-extract recovery.img from the sbf
-remove xposed
-flash the recovery with flashify
-take the ota
-flash back twrp recovery
Am I right?!
Thanks a lot

IF you do not vary too much from Stock (i.e. didn't remove, rename or replace any "stock" files on your phone), then yes.
Oh, for Xposed, there is a disabler ZIP you can flash from custom recovery located in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer (or /SdCard/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer ) instead of removing it, as sometimes removing it doesn't undo all the changes.

An OTA update will not work on a rooted phone! For the OTA to work it needs stock recovery, stock rom and all of the files that it is attempting to update. If anything is missing then it will error out and return to your present setup.
and to complete what majmoz already said, if your rom is 100% stock, and you have flashed back your stock recovery, the phone will update fine but you will loose root. You'll need to flash a custom recovery after the OTA to re-root the rom.
Guys you're very helpful and i must thank you for that. i am on the official 4.4.3 rom so i just need to restore the stock recovery? how to do that? and will the current rooting method work on lollipop (and should i follow the same steps to install clockwork recovery)? Will the ota update relock the bootloader?
i'm sorry if i'm asking too many questions but i don't trust any other forum.

If you have not modified anything to your rom (Kernel is stock and always was, you have not deleted any /system files and you still have or restored all the content in /data/preload (wiped during bootloader unlock), so yes all you need to do is to flash back the stock recovery that match your version.

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'

[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.

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.
