Hi everyone,
I currently have the htc official 1.5 ROM but did use nandroid a while back to try out another ROM, but reverted back to 1.5.
I have recived the OTA update message but when i click install it reboots loading nandroid, i then have to select reboot phone (from the nandroid menu), it reboots then no update.
I have tried this many times.
Thanks for your time.

You could just move the back-up off the phone and into the PC...
How would i go about completly removing nandroid as i no longer need it?
Thanks,
The probable reason you cannot install the htc offical ota update is because you have custom recovery/bootloader.
If you want to install the ota, you need to revert back to the stock recovery.
2 ways to do this.
Either flash a RUU
or
If you made a backup of your recovery, (When you flashed a custom recovery using flashrec, you should have made a backup and it can be found in your sd card as recovery-backup.img) use flashrec and type in the path to recovery-backup.img.
Do note that if you install 2.1 official from htc, you will not be able to root until someone finds a way to root it.
Custom ROM =
I don't have a solution but this is why I stayed away from custom ROMs.

Hello
The touch screen on my hero has broken.
It's not responding in some places.
I have to send it in for repairs.
Im running Modaco 3.0 & amon ra recovery image on the phone.
As this problem with the screen is a warranty issue, i have to revert the phone back to the standard os & standard recovery image.
Anyone know how to do this?
I can't find any guide for this.
I want to flash the phone with the standard htc hero rom and at the same time get the standard htc recovery image back.
This is a European unbranded phone.
I'm guessing you made a Nandroid backup before flashing to MoDaCo Custom ROM? If so, restore the backup via the boot menu and the recovery image to the original one (guessing you backed that one up too).
Code:
mount -a
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-backup.img
reboot
And that should be it.
Also, I think that if you download the latest ROM upgrade for Hero via htc.com, even the recovery image also be reverted to the original one. However, someone will have to confirm.
Don't have a nandroid backup. Formated the card,swaped card and so on..

I would say you're right on that solution!
Yes, just run the RUU for generic Hero's and everything will be set back to factory.

My Rezound and I are stuck.
Let me start at the beginning. My Rezound was running “RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6” and it was unlocked and rooted. So recently Verizon started forcing this firmware update with no way to stop it that I could find. So I decided to update on my own. I did a Nanoid backup of everything and a Titanium back up of everything. I relocked my phone and I found “RUU-build-4-03-605-2” at Android Police [Exclusive Download] Full RUU Build 4.03.605.2 For The HTC Rezound. So I downloaded it and renamed it PH98IMG.zip. Placed it on my SD card and booted into HBOOT were it loaded the new version. It worked so I unlocked my phone and loaded “recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img”. I loaded SU from the recovery had it updated at Google Play. Reloaded Titanium rooted and this is where things started to go wrong. No permissions were being given to Titanium. I tried “recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img” and I even tried SUSuper but nothing worked. I went into recovery and did a complete Nanoid recovery. Since then I have not been able to get anything to work. I cannot load any older versions. I try to reload “RUU-build-4-03-605-2” but it makes it to #4 system were it gets stuck in a loop of unzipping and updating.
My very last attempt was to unlock the phone load “recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img” go into recovery and do a wipe of everything. Then from XDA-Developers [ROM][ICS Global Phone Update][4.03.605.1] Stock, Root, Deodex, Busybox, Global Phone - xda-developers I downloaded the ICS Global Phone Update Firmware and the ICS Global Phone Update. In recovery I used “flash a zip” to update the firmware. I locked the phone and renamed the Phone Update to PH98IMG.zip. Booted into HBOOT and allowed it to update the software. I instantly powered down and renamed “RUU-build-4-03-605-2” to PH98IMG.zip rebooted to HBOOT and it made it to #4 system where it got stuck in the loop.
When I try just to start the phone it stays on the white HTC screen.
What can I do to get my phone working again? Please be specific with the steps to take because I am still at the bottom of the learning curve.
One other question: Can my Nanoid backup recover the data for the internal card so Titanium will be able to recover my programs.
Thank You SOOOOOOO very much for your help.

You tried in recovery turning on Full Format and formatting "system"?
Also try loading a custom rom and flashing it via recovery and see if everything works properly
Don't use the Su option in recovery always flash SU using one of the flash zips either SuperSU or Superuser

Thank you for your response. I went into “Recovery – Wipe” and selected “Toggle Ext Full Wipe”. Then I went to “Format “ and selected “Format all to ext3”. It showed me the warnings and I pressed power to continue.
I tried to recover using my Nandroid backup but it did not work. So I formatted a second time. This time I flashed the firmware zip file and it worked 100% this time. Rebooted to HBOOT/Fastboot and locked the phone. The phone rebooted and made it all the way through setup and to home screen. Software version 4.0.3-605.1 so why stop there. I booted into HBOOT and let version 4.0.3-605.2 load and it made it to “System” and got stuck in the loop.
So to make a long story short I started all over again and flashed the ICS Global Phone Update Firmware. I verified that everything was up and running. Then I tried one last thing. I went into recovery and did a Nandroid recovery. I only selected “Data” and “Ext-card” and let it go. I am now fully operational with all of my programs including my wallpaper. The only thing I can tell I lost was Titanium Backup’s backup. Everything shows no backup and no files are frozen.
Thank you again for your help. :good:
Hi so after updating from the stock zv6 to lollipop update my phone won't install a custom ROM. Every time I try to turn it on it goes straight to TWRP and went I install a ROM or try to load a backup as soon as I hit reboot it goes back to the TWRP page. Amy ideas?
You must flash back, using Flashtool, to zv4, then reroot, then flash newest TWRP. OTA software not included, because they flash every partition of the phone, including the boot loader. Stock roms like zv6 and zv8(lollipop)or AOSP, must be flashed from xda from here on out, because they've been modified to work correctly on zv4 boot loader. TWRP and root access only work correctly with zv4 boot loader.

It sounds like there is no OS installed or it is stuck a reboot-loop. Try pulling the battery out for 10 seconds and if it still goes into twrp you know that it isn't a reboot-loop. When you go to restore a rom and it has the bar that shows the amount of storage does it say "0 MB"? If it does it means that twrp can't mount the storage on the phone thus causing it to not install/reboot. Have you tried side loading a rom via adb? Are you trying to install a rom off of a sdcard? I have seen many issues in the past sdcard related.
If you can please answer the following:
1) What is the message you are getting from twrp (if there is any)?
2) Have you installed a custom kernel and if so witch one?
3) What twrp are you running (the bumped one from xda or from the official twrp site) and what version is it?
4) Have you tried adb and pulling the battery?
If you answer these questions they should be able to tell us all that we need to know in order to help you out.
Guys iam unrooted my one plus x for getting official ota updates , but after unrooting iam getting ota notification and click on install , but in process of update in recovry mode it says failed and reboot , pls pls help me how to solve this problem and get back to official opx device
1. Download OnePlusOxygen_14_OTA_008_all_201601221550.zip .
2. Just flash it.
3. You'll be on OxygenOS 2.2.0 without any other files to flash. Don't wipe data and cache to retain your apps and data.
The right answer is : you won't have Over The Air. You have to flash it manually as @StraightEdgeKid just said.
You should flash the next updates the same too.
After installing full 2.2.0 ROM, he'll be unrooted completely, and if he has stock recovery, he can install OTA's afterwards, unless he remains on stock.
Yeah but it always depends on the way he rooted the phone. The OneCmlickRoot solution have to be bannished on OPX!
Ofcourse not, if he flashes full 2.2.0 ROM, everything from system will be overwritten, leaving no place for previous stuff in system. /system will be cleaned completely.
Thanks for this. Downloaded the file, flashed through stock "recovery", and voila.
Flash the full ota and after that check you are on stock recovery or custom recovery(twrp) if its custom then flash stock recovery and you will be able to get otas
Hello there I have a couple questions regarding to the red honor boot logo and also on how to update from a stock rom with TWRP and root ( also a couple of system modifications ) to the new B331 update.
So heres the rundown, when I first got my honor 5x I did not spend too much time on the stock rom I went ahead and rooted my phone and installed TWRP then made a backup of my stock rom (B151) no modifications other than SuperSU being installed. After that I went ahead and installed CM13 nightlies and updated mostly everyday up until the build July-18-16. I had adoptable storage enabled with my 32GB SD card and I totally forgot to disable the adoptable option before I reverted to my stock backup so when I went onto TWRP and tried to restore my backup I always got an error where it said something along the lines " error; could not find system" but instead of it backing out it continued to restore and bricked my phone. I had a somewhat clever idea to flash any build of CM13 I had on my computer and guess what it booted then I disabled the adoptable storage and booted back onto TWRP restored my backup and everything was fine until it booted and I noticed the honor boot logo had a red "h". I found that weird since I have restored my backup previously and that never happened. Anyone knows what it could mean and how to fix it?
My second question is how should I go about updating to B331? Should I download the stock recovery B151 ( since that is what shipped with my phone and is what my backup is) then revert to my near stock backup, flash stock recovery and unroot then update through cslA's B331 instructions? Or should I somehow fix the red honor boot logo then go ahead with what I stated above or is this all done differently? I am not a newbie at these kind of things I just moved onto more important things in life and simply want to update my phone. My needs for flashing new roms daily are over and I just simply like huawei's UI as it just "works" for me. Thanks to anyone who responds anything is appreciated as I can't seem to get my old skills working again. Haha:laugh:
Fibgerprint aint working right? U cant go back to stock with just a normal twrp backup. Install an update.app through dload for your region and then apply the twrp backup.. Make sure you are on B151 Recovery!

No, my fingerprint is working... I just wanted to go back to stock ROM with root and that's what I got just now I have a red honor bootlogo. Now I want to update to marshmallow but I have a fear that even if I follow the steps onto reverting to stock I may brick it because of the red bootlogo.
So what you are saying is I should download my B151 recovery and firmware to revert to stock then update and from there I should root and install TWRP?
