I have rooted HTC One, I noticed a new software update was released by AT&T, and I wondered if it I updated it, would my root be gone? I tried to update it and after downloading the update, my phone restarted and booted into TWRP recovery and I rebooted and there was no update installed. Are any rooted HTC One users experiencing the same problem? What should I do, should i just forget about the OTA updates?

Anytime you root the phone it changes the stock recovery so when the OTA tries to run it fails because the recovery needed to do it is the stock one. Just wait for someone to post a updated ota that works with twrp.
For the most part, updates will be baked into roms so you won't need to take the OTA

On top of stock recovery, you need to have all stock apps present on the phone. They can be frozen, but they must be there. The first thing any official OTA does it check the signatures of all .apks it expects to find on the device--if any are missing, the update will abort. I learned today that when you unlock your bootloader, several HTC-specific applications are automatically deleted from the phone and this will prevent the phone from accepting the OTA. You'll need to either A) replace those apks, or B) flash a stock NAND backup, flash stock recovery, do the update, then re-flash custom recovery and continue on from there.

I installed it and it worked great. I have a unlocked bootloader but I am not rooted.
AT&T update file name and location?
Same experience. If I knew the location and file downloaded through AT&T Software Update, perhaps I could install it through TWRP. Anyone know? Tried?

Please...a little advice
Many thanks for all your help.
One question:
I have an HTC One (ATT) - SW Ver 1.26.502.10, bootloader unlocked, rooted, bloatware erased.
If I flash CM 10.1 - does this include the latest OTA update.
Many thanks

I woke up this morning with an OTA update on my P769 USA version. I have not ever rooted my phone yet and have been waiting it out for some roms to come out and clockwork mod. My phone has the 10e firmware that can be hacked to unlock the boot loader. My problem is my phone downloaded a new OTA update, 10g. If I reboot my phone its going to install the update and I'll be screwed out of being able to root the phone when I want to (locked boot loader). How do I keep this update from trying to apply itself on reboot? I don't have root access. Can it be rooted w/o having to reboot to thwart this update? Can I delete the update file? I'm really trying to avoid having to reboot the phone now. (The system update apply/reboot pop up is driving me nuts!) I never agreed for this update to download! WTF?!

The update will not automatically install when you reboot. Root your device using the many instructions in this sub-forum. Use the search.
No it won't but u can root ur phone. All L9 models can be rooted
Or you can just update himself(optimus L9) and flash it back to the rootable roms using KDZ offline flash
Or start phone in CWM mode, take nandroid backup and reflash V10E, root it and restore V10G nandroid backup.
Dont know if this work perfectly or not, but just suggesting.
PS: I just wonder what Update it would be after V10G? Is it JB for P769?
Or you can let two month old topics stay dead.

Hey, so I received and update for my att HTC one, it's already rooted I froze and removed some bloatware apps, it has an elemental x kernal on it, and clockworkmod touch, so the update finished downloading and we are now at recovery. I click yes to install it. I let it run for a good ten minutes and when I came back it was stuck on tool fix 01something of that sort..so I rebooted my phone and it was still on the previous software number 1.26.502.10. My question is, what must I do first so I can have a clean OTA Update without it getting stuck because I want a clean 4.2.2 installation when it comes out.

Thanks I'm downloading it now. Will this Gove me stock recovery and the stock kernel?
Yes indeed you will be completely stock. Be aware that this will also wipe your phone.
Hallo every one.
I am an owner of the htc One. I've rooted this device and had an other rom flashen over it. It now runs with AOSP with Jelly bean 4.2. 2
This morning I got a notification that the system update was downloaded and ready for install. The update was around 128mb big.
I pressed on the install notification and my phone rebooted and then came up with the fastboot / safeboot menu. (don't know which one excactly But you guys know what I mean I hope)
And then it tried to install But it reported soms errors and failed to install.
Does anybody know where it stores this system update or where to find it on my phone?
And no, the notification was not an advertisment or something similair. It was one from htc.

in order to accept a OTA you have to be on stock recovery and your bootloader must be relocked IF YOU ARE S-OFF'd use revone to LOCK instead of RELOCK or you can even remove the tamper flag from your device. keep in mind accepting the update might make it to where you may have some rather irritating issues later on
updates are in the cache partition if im not mistaken
Thanx for your reply. I was asking this because I believen that there isn't a 4.3 update for the htc One yet.
I've searched the cache folder(s) But could not find the downloaded system update.

on tmobile, no there is not yet a 4.3 or even a 4.2 update for the HTC one yet. officially atleast.
Thanx for your answer. But I know that there is not yet an official update. That's why I asked it here. Because it got a notification that there is an update for my phone. 4.3 and I Just wanna know if it's still on my phone somewhere. So that I can share it with everyone.
Can you be more specific about which ROM you are running? If you are running an AOSP 4.2.2 ROM you should not be receiving update notifications from HTC.
same thing here
HTC One Google Edition Rooted unlocked with TWRP 2.6 , not S-Off'd (Hboot 1.54) , received System Update 4.3 update to reboot and install.
Clicked on it
reboot it to recovery, and i manually rebooted to system.
No update was installed.
any thoughts?

The GPE model did just recently get a 4.3 update but you have to be "stock" unrooted for it to work
I have added a screenshot with this post. I received another notification that there is an update for my phone.
And which AOSP rom I run? I actually would not know it. Where to find these specs?

Has anyone figured out how to apply this update on a rooted device running "official" ROM? For me the update downloads and reboots to recovery (twrp in my case). The update is not applied.

you need stock recovery, also i think (not completely sure about this) you have to unroot and maybe even relock your bootloader in order to apply the update.

you said, you've got TWRP recovery installed, so your phone's bootloader is definitely unlocked and you've got a custom recovery installed. The update only works if /system partition is completely stock, you've got stock recovery and your bootloader is (re-)locked.
if anything doesn't match your phones CID, the update won't install.
I did not say that. tmknight did.
I have this phone with an AT&T IMEI from China, but the ROM is not from AT&T, I guess its the Erupean version or somenthing... it came unlocked for any GSM company and thats why i bought it... I also know that the bootloades is locked.
I cant update it with the official AT&T ROM cause it does not find it... Im stuck in its Android 4.1.1 slow version, and I see many bugs on it.
Can anyone help me? PLEAAAASSSEEEEE!!!!
If anyone is interested, I saw this posted today. A small OTA update released by AT&T today.

This is merely a rumor. The ATT link is to the old May 2014 update.
Pay no attention.
The link to the att sight yes is for old 1.58 build, does not mean there isnt an update coming...as its being reported with a build number by more and more sights, could just be a rumour but it could also be rolling out.
Well, they finally released the update today. Finally have 4.4.4. On my m8. Now to wait for lollipop
Does anybody know where the OTAPkg file gets downloaded to? I'm trying to preserve the file and not have to download it again and again after a fail update. Thanks.
Edit: n/m found it, it's under the FUMO folder within the internal SD.
Please save a copy. We need it for a custom rom

I'm lost. I installed the 4.4.4 OTA, installed the latest CM12 nightly, and now I have no cell service nor options to select/enter an apn. Under apn it states "access point names not available for this user" HElP?!
ALSO, what custom roms can I run using this 4.4.4 OTA?!

I can't help you with CM12, but I just installed Viper One and it seems to work fine.
I updated to the 4.4.4 via OTA yesterday, and Viper installed without a hitch.
NB: Make a Nandroid Backup before flashing please.
Whats the best way to update my girlfriend's rooted M8? Currently running 4.4.2 rooted S-ON. Can she just take OTA and then will have to re-root?
I'm S-OFF on my phone so I haven't had to deal with this. Already updated my firmware months ago and have been running 4.4.4 roms.
Thanks!!
Downloading it now.
You'll have to re-flash stock recovery, take the OTA update, then restore twrp (or other custom recovery) and re-root.
Could someone help me with the OTA update. I'm on stock 4.4.2 rooted and s-off. I placed back all the at&t crap in systems and tried my best to restore everything back to stock even recovery. I'm still getting a red triangle approx like 1/4 the way during the update. What sucks is that I have to download the whole update file again and it's 800+megs versus the prior updates which were a lot smaller. It's just very time consuming and would like to find out the root of the issue is.
I've done so many mods on the phone like the HK mod and various other ones. I'm trying to think back now to see if there is anything else and now I'm stuck. I don't want to restore my stock nandroid cause I would have to install everything all over again which would suck big time. I uninstall the drivers for viper4android, xposed, and even reverted the host file back from adaway. I just feel like there might be something within the system files that isn't suppose to be there. I even got rid of the att boot logo and sound but I had restored that back to stock as well. Please help if you could. Thanks.
Also is there anyway to flash twrp without using a pc? I tried flashify but it doesn't seem to be working cause it would revert back to the fastboot no matter what.
Same situation here I think... stock rom (never changed it yet), rooted, unlocked, s-off. Downloaded OTA then realized I needed to flash original recovery back. Did that, now AT&T sw update is of course telling me to wait 24 hours to check again. Any way around that?

Yeah just manually change the date one day ahead and try it again. It might take a couple of secs for it to prompt that there is an update.
I just posted a pre-rooted ruu in the dev section.
Backup data in twrp to your ext sd. Flash ruu via sd card method. Flash twrp using the free app flashify. Reboot to twrp and restore data.
No pc required.
Just make sure you backup files on internal.

I noticed that flashify also will install CWM or Philz. Is your method specific to TWRP or can you use the others. The reason I ask is because I currently use Philz and would need that to restore my backup.

I don't think root changes are the issue; as typically it will fail before it even goes into recovery with a message that the system has been modified. It might just be a bad download.
Setting up your phone again is really not that bad a proposition; especially if you use Titanium to restore apps. And it will also restore your Xposed installer and modules. Using Titanium, I can easily be up and fully configured again in about a half hour after a factory reset or RUU. Although, of course this will depend on the amount of customization in settings, etc.
You might consider updating with the new RUU (relocking bootloader required if s-on). Not only will this bypass the OTA install issue you are having, but makes for a cleaner install. Yes, you will have to set the phone up again; and you will also need to backup any data on internal storage, as it will be wiped by RUU.
