Hi.
I am a bit stuck with something on my HTC and I thought I would try to get some answers here as people seem very knowledgeable!
I recently rooted my HTC One and everything was going well. Yesterday a message came through to my phone that there is an update available so i downloaded and tried to install. Unfortunately it will not unstall on my phone - it just goes into the mod recovery screen. Is there a way of installing the file via the custom mod recovery screen or am i missing something?
Thanks if anyone can offer any advice!

You need stock recovery to install official updates
I advise flash a custom rom, because is better then a rom stock with root!
And you can personalize it with mod and other, a lot of mod will not work

Sure sounds like he does.
You need stock recovery to flash the update.

this all seems a bit long.
I have TWRP on my stock Sense ROM 4.1, also getting these OTA update to 4.2.2 prompts, which I would like for the new camera features and quick toggles.
Don't really want to have to flash default to remove TWRP then update then have to install TWRP again.
Can you not somehow apply this using TWRP another way, other than OTA? Is the update not available as a package that can be flashed with TWRP?

Ok cheers for into, don't think I will go that route.
I was just reading about this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390346
So I'm considering this, I am on stock Sense and have TWRP so think good to go with that one, which I guess has those new features.
I'll just have to install my apps again eh.
Also read that 4.3 is notably faster too, so think I should upgrade to it

I think that rom in your link will work well for you! I was in no way advocating the OTA, just trying to help you do what you said you wanted to. In my opinion, if you're custom, you don't go back to stock for an OTA, so good choice! Good luck.....
yeah I know what you mean
I did just d/l that ROM and seemed decent but I've just restored my backup to Sense again, I didn't want to lose the Zoe functionality of the camera.
Probably keep on the old 4.2 for a while longer then and go without the features 4.3 offers
So I'm rooted with an unlocked boot loader and a custom ROM installed but when I downloaded some apps it said it can't access root so I checked root checker and it said
My phone isn't rooted even tho I have supersu and a custom ROM on it

If you just moved up to 4.3, root implementation has changed, so you need to flash SU from recovery the first time.

I'm having similar issues with my HTC One, I unlocked and rooted and installed Maximus HD 13 rom - that's when I started getting problems with SuperSu - first the update issue, now it says no binaries.
I tried installing it from recovery, I even tried CWM, then reflashed TWRP. Still nothing, same error. No binaries. Driving me bloody crazy.

Yeah it looks like that's what I'm gonna have to do, should I wipe boot as well ? Maximus HD installs the stock kernel as well, wondering if it also installs hboot. Afaik /boot is split into boot and kernel. Wouldn't wanna wipe the entire device, install the ROM, reboot and find myself with no hboot !

hboot and boot.img are two different things. No rom will touch hboot. Only way to change your hboot is via RUU or OTA, or to s-off and flash in RUU mode.
All roms include a kernel, usually the stock kernel. That will overwrite whatever you had there before but you should still wipe /data.

Did you flash the supersu zip separately in recovery? I've had to do that every time I installed a 4.3 rom.

Alright, basically what I did today is I wiped every single partition I had access to, so everything but boot and recovery. installed maximus HD 13, installed faux kernel, installed faux kernel camera fix. Maximus installs supersu by default, I opened it up and I got the stupid no binary error. So I went back to recovery and attempted SuperSu 1.65 from zip, still the same problem. Please note that I did all this BECAUSE of my issues with root, funny how after nuking the whole phone I still have the same problem. I've google extensively, and pretty much the only advice I've found involves either rooting from recovery or changing something in SuperSu settings, which I CAN'T ACCESS because the app closes right after the error prompt pops up.
I'm a few desperate attempts short of attempting an exorcism...

I have not used Maximus, so maybe you should move over to that thread. I had the same issues with ARHD, but flashing SuperSU in recovery after the rom flash took care of it. In all likelihood, you're not the only Maximus user to deal with this, so the answer may be over there.

Alright, so SuperSu WORKED. Until I flashed the faux123 kernel, at which point it stopped working again. Same issue, no binaries. So I reformatted the whole phone, installed Rom, then faux123 kernel, then SuperSu. Same issue. No binaries. I can only conclude that installing the kernel causes the issue. Hope this helps someone who has the same problem. Gonna stick to stock kernel for now

That's odd. Are you sure you're flashing the right kernel? I had no such problems with the 4.3 version of ElementalX.

Pretty sure I am, "m7-faux123-Sense43-007m.zip" and "faux123-jb43-sense-camera-fix.zip". Did you have to root again after installing ElemntalX ? Just finished reinstalling ROM for fourth time today, going to check SuperSu works, go back to recovery, make a nandroid backup and perhaps try ElementalX Is there a kernel control app for it ?

I only had to flash SuperSU once. I use TricksterMod.
I've experienced this problem on two different ROMs (different variations of the same problem, actually). In both cases, flashing the same SuperSU .zip fixed it. Link here.

One of the benefits to being s-off is you don't have to take the OTA...you just flash the firmware and done.

i did that and then i was unable to take profile or prl updates :crying: it also didnt apear to have fixed the signal issue... i might not have waited enough... or it could have something to do with the unability to take prl and profile updates... anyhow ill try again from a diferent download see what happens
Did your baseband change? last four should be .0610.
If it did change then it's most likely a network issue.

Yes the baseband did change but the signal problem persists. i need to take the FULL ota to fix my phone (or install something else that will) regardless the radios alone aren't fixing the issue.
i tried flashing the rafios by themselves and it wouldnt update prl or profile; it also had the same signal issue. i tried the radios AND the new stock rom for it and same thing. i tried going back to stock and taking the ota and the ota wouldnt install.
Thoughs?
I'm the same root/s-off. I flash the h/k sound file did you find a way to install the latest ota update?
I cant figure out how to get the OTA either
I have S-Off im also rooted, and i have TWRP recovery, i can't get the zip to flash. I was thinking about doing a stock root recovery using the RUU, but then i thought if i do that, would i still be able to reroot using the same method? so my question is, how can i flash this zip and keep my root? or should do a stock recovery from the RUU and update and wait for another root? if any devs read this, i'd really like your help please and thank you. I currently have the stock rom with just root access and S-Off.no custom roms on here.
man.. i have the same problem bro.. smh.. hey man keep me posted if something comes up

You have to have stock recovery to take the update, which means you have to flash stock recovery first and then take the update, then repeat the rooting process.

you should at least have seen a green arrow circle and/or a red triangle with a "!" in the middle. if you saw the triangle that is recovery trying and failing to update. at this point if you press and releast volumeup+power it should bring up the text of what it did.

I'm looking at the MikMik one, and I am just not sure if this will erase all my apps and settings. Do I need to use a backup app or should I be ok flashing this and keeping all my apps and settings?
So earlier this year I decided to root my HTC one so I could get stock android. I changed it back to sense around a month after but my phone is still rooted and I'd like to unroot it. I've tried around 3/4 times to unroot my phone but I literally got nowhere and gave up each time, but now I thought I'd stick at it and try this time to finally unroot my phone, and I'd really appreciate any help I can get.
This was my first time rooting a phone and I still don't fully understand many of the terms, so if you could please explain each step as simply as you can that would be awesome. Anyway the information I've gathered about my phone so far is that it's version is 2.24.401.8 its S-On, HBOOT 1.54 and Radio 4A.17.3250.14. I think that's all the useful information but if there's anything else you need let me know. Ideally, I would like my phone to return to like it was when I first opened it (enough to be able to use under warranty) however if that's not possible, or if it's hard to do, I'd be happy with it just having the latest version of sense and android and for it to be able to receive OTA updates.

Thanks for the quick reply
I just tried this and downloaded the OTA update for the latest version of sense and android but when I installed it my phone just restarted and nothing was updated.

You can't jump strait to the latest update you need to install all the updates sequentially.
To flash the reset Rom put the zip on your internal storage. Boot to clockwork mod and do a Factory reset. Then choose Install zip from sd card. Choose the guru rest Rom. When the install starts you'll be taken into the Aroma installer choose the options as outlined in my previous post.
When the Rom is installed reboot the phone. Go to Settings>About and select "Check for Updates" you should get a notification for a "System Update" Allow the update to download and you will be prompted to install it. Select Install now. The phone will reboot to Stock recovery and install the OTA. When it's done reboot and check for the next OTA update
