so first off i'm fully stock, as in never messed with anything out the box. i downloaded the new software update OTA and tried to install. i restarts and starts the update. as soon as it pops up with the download bar, a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle and a phone laying down pops up. i tried deleteing the download and doing it again several times, but keep the same results. can any help or explain why this is happening? be greatly appreciated!
That's the screen I have seen on 3 Android devices while updating. While I don't have a One yet, my Note2 shows the same screen when installing an update.

that didn't work, would it matter if in recovery it said it couldn't mount the sd card? it said that about 5 times or so

I am having this same issue. I have deleted the the update from the downloads folder requiring my phone to have to re-download the the update but get the same result. Pressing the volume up button doesn't help. I am also fully stock. I have been trying to update repeatedly since it became available. Any and all help is appreciated.

same issue here. I think they not only messed our RUU and made it corrupt, but made the entire OTA corrupt......
Same here. Mine is stuck at the progress bar though. I have to reboot it and then I get the red triangle.
Did anyone of you having this Red Triangle issue ever did any modifications to your phone? Suppressed any apps, deleted them? any changes made to the phone can make that happen. Also while on the red triangle, have you tried pressing the down or up button, sometimes it displays the error what wen't wrong with the install.
If push comes to shove, factory reset, then install. (data will be lost)

mine says
finding update
opening update
something along those lines then it says, installation aborted. it all pops up after i press the volume up key
Pressing power/vol-up in recovery toggles "show recovery text". You're not actually "doing" anything that might affect the update by doing this.
That said: If it is failing, there are basically two reasons:
1) Bad download. The update file itself is corrupted.
2) You did something to the device and the update will not continue because it has detected this.
If it is 1, wipe cache/dalvik (use fastboot to boot into TWRP from your PC if you have to) and try deleting/re-downloading the update. If it is2, you'll need to find some way to return to stock. Waiting for the RUU to be fixed in this case may be the most prudent step.

I have not made any modifications to my phone at all. The only change I do is kill the power saver app when I restart so that it is not in my notification bar. I did do a factory reset last night and then attempted the update again with the same result.
After getting the red triangle, I have tried both the up and down volume buttons but they don't do anything. Sometimes I can get to the recovery menu when also pushing the power button but the only option that works is the reboot option.
I also attempted the manual update option from the HTC website but ran into the issue of the bad file that there is another entire thread about in the general forum.

have you tried installing the past .8 RUU on your phone and then trying again to get the .11 OTA? maybe that can work. (its a PITA but worth the try at this point.)

Mugetsu posted a bone stock nothing touched .8 nandroid on the .8 thread. I flashed that, made sure twrp didn't root it, then finally flashed the stock recovery. Rebooted, took the .11 OTA (took a few reboots to make it complete at the progress bar in stock recovery). I'm finally now on .11 and rooted with twrp.
I was s-off and unlocked by the way. Didn't relock at all.

Hi Guys am quite new at this however i've been doing some research on how to install [ROM]KaosFroyo V30 on my Eris but i have not found any instructions or guide and so i was wondering if anyone here could help? by the way i am running the android 2.1 version released by Verizon an HTC and hopefully this won't be a problem.
Google is your friend, also the Eris root app might make things easier.

first question is are you rooted?
i think the phone's rooted now!
well i used the eris root app and when it asked me to i used the KaosFroyo V30 zip and it seemed to install ok, then i boot up the device and after an initial boot screen i get a screen saying android in blue and like a white light inside i don't know if that makes any sense but that's where the phone stays. i guess i am rooted now but then phone won't fully boot up

turn off, turn back on holding the end button and the vol UP, use the trackball scroll to backup/restore click the trackball, click nand backup, let it run hit vol down, scroll to wipe, wipe data and wipe dalvik, hit volume down hit flash zip click on the kaos v30 zip assuming that its on your sd card and let it run and then reboot shouldnt take much longer than 10 min to boot up

good luck and remember to always do a nand backup before flashing anything...saves more lives than seatbelts
The thing that you did different was wiping caches before flashing. That's why it works now.
BTW, NAND backups are important, but the one you made this time was worthless.
A NAND backup makes a copy of your system. Unfortunately your system wasn't functional when you created it.
Use this as a lesson. Always do a NAND before you change anything. That way you can restore to a working system.

Hi guys I was messing around on the HTC DROID ERIS and I may have damage my phone. I change the wrong NV items. 435,436,1192,1194 and now phone keeps turning on and off. it only gets to the skate boarding green dudes. I try adding a custom rom but i dont think i am rooted. I try doing the system wipe but as soon as it reboots to enter that mode it reboots and reboots again same system. I can only update with the PB00IMG.zip but does not changes anything. I can only keep it stable on the hboot usb which I dont know what else to do with that. anyone has any idea on how to correct this issue...
Well I was rooted and and had lagfix on my fascinate. Then I decided to download the new update from verizon today. After the update the update screen kept on popping up even after I already installed it. Then I found out that my apps that require root like autokiller and setcpu did not work anymore even though I still hade the superuser app. So I rooted my phone again restarted it and the apps worked again then I decided I wanted to do the clockworkmod installation thing so I could make my phone flashable, the instructions recommended that i remove lag fix so I took my phone plugged it into the pc and went to my ryan lagfix folder whatever on my desktop and clicked on the unlagfixme.bat thing and at the end it had some errors or something even mentioning the Innopath Activecare in it which was for some reason probably why it didnt work. So I decided to try it again and it didnt work. Then I rebooted the phone and I saw the samsung logo and then black screen! I CANT BOOT UP!!! WHAT DO I DO!!!!!
follow this your going to have to go back to stock, then redo everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
Also, Do not install the Verizon update, it is not made for rooted phones. Wait for one of the devs to post a root friendly verizon update.
if that doesnt work, take it where u got it and tell them u did the update and that s what it does after the update.

Had the same error, hold the power button and the volume keys till you can boot recovery. Then do a factory wipe and then after you get back into the phone, do a factory data reset.
It's the only way I got my phone back. Now time to figure out how I can remove the root and re-root .

I am rooted running BAMF 1.6.3. I haven't updated this in at least 2 weeks.
Something very random just happened. I noticed my phone was on 1x (I live in 4G area) so I decided to reboot it to see if that fixed it. When I rebooted it, it loaded up and came back to lock screen. I then hit the power button to turn off the screen. When I tried to wake it back up nothing would happen. I then pulled the battery and when it started back up it hangs on the white HTC screen. It will stay on there for about 1 minute and then the screen will turn off. 3 seconds later, the screen will turn back on with the same white HTC screen. It appears this loop will happen over and over. I pulled battery again and same thing. I tried to hold the power button and volumn down and then go to recovery. There I get error messages stating:
E; cant mount /cache/recovery/command
... cache/recovery/log
etc.
when i go to restore, I get the same messages. The phone then goes back to the white HTC screen and loops over and over.
I haven't tried factory reset yet.
Any ideas? This is random that this happened during daily use and not while flashing or mucking with it.
Please help!

so you are able to go into recovery then to restore.. correct? Are you running the MR2 Radio?
No, running the suggested radio for BAMF 1.6.3 which I think was the leaked froyo radio...and I haven't messed with this in over 2 weeks and have been fine since I last flashed. adrynalyne talkes about it in his first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057933
...and yes, I can get into recovery and restore, but can't get past the can't mount errors I see in recovery.
I am not sure if the radio suggested for BAMF 1.6.3 is the MR2 radio of if that is something else?

Download the MR2 radio from here
http://www.multiupload.com/3U3QC9V1UL
Rename it to PG05IMG.ZIP.
Next go into your recovery.. mounts.. and mount usb storage.
Plop that zip file into the root of SD card..
Then do a battery pull and go into bootloader (power + vol down).. (or if you are on adb.. do adb reboot bootloader).
Install the MR2 radio after the prompt and then reboot your device..
see if that fixes it.. if not.. report back.
Ok, I will have to try all of this when I get home from work. I don't have the drivers or ADB installed on my work computer. I just went to mounts/mount SD storage and got this error:e: unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory).
Is this b/c I am not connected to the computer with the drivers installed or a different issue?

MR2 radio actually comes with a Froyo RUU.. I don't know who is telling you not to have MR2 radio over Froyo.. because they are wrong. The RUU does have an updated software version (1.66 I believe).. instead of the 1.37 that you have.
Maybe I am reading this wrong then. I see you have posted in the xda thread below, so i assume I am just not reading this correctly (I am relatively new to all of this!). Thanks for the help so far.

It does work on Froyo.. but only on Froyo 1.66 .. and NOT on the earlier version of Froyo.. which was 1.13
the reason why Chingy and Droid Life said it won't work on Froyo was because at that time.. only this radio was released.. and not the full RUU... and so they didn't want people flashing this radio over the older Froyo.
the RUU was released a few days later.. and it was the MR2 radio with Froyo.
However, I stand corrected... since you are the earlier version of Froyo.. MR2 radio WILL NOT work for you.
I bought my EVO LTE with TEAMWIN on it. I had a problem with it and attempted to do a factory reset in teamwin.

You might need to play with this combination but hold down the power button and volume down for about 10 seconds or so then let go. Then hold the same combo down to get into the bootloader. Once in the bootloader navigate with the volume up and down to highlight recovery then press the power button to select it. Once you get back into recovery, flash a rom to at least get you back up and going.

Hello everyone, Forgive me if I seem a bit flustered, but I am. I was adding a few fonts with an app from the play store. It would restart after each fine, and there was no issue. On the final one, it restarted, but then got hung up for 10 minutes on the ATT logo. I have restarted it with the power button numerous times now, and it has done nothing different. I have only rooted the phone, I have no custom recovery or anything. I booted into the LG stock recovery, canceled the reset, and it still hung up at the ATT logo.
What might have happened, and how can I fix this? I would rather not hard reset, but if I have to, I have to. Please respond with anything at all that might help me. I'm using my old GSII right now, and the newer sim doesn't fit quite right in it. I can make calls and stuff, but i want to get back on the OG as fast as possible. PLEASE respond with anything helpful. Thanks.
I am running stock Jellybean (The initial jellybean we got, I think it was 4.1.1), rooted. No custom roms, no custom recovery.
UPDATE: I did a factory reset (by holding power and volume down). It is still doing the same thing. It gets to the ATT logo and plays the music "Dee dee dee dee 'click'", then stops. Nothing more happens. At all. I've let it sit for a while and nothing is happening. So now the question is, how can I save it with that in mind?

Sound like you need to use LGNPST or use a teenybin then flash a custom ROM. Factory reseting ( I think) only clears out the /data partition which is where all user and app data is saved. If something in the /system partition is not allowing it to boot, that is why the factory reset didn't work. To fix you have to restore the /system partition back to stock.
To do so, flash a full bin. Which will reset the phone to complete stock (no root, no unlocked bootloader).
Or you can flash a teenybin. Which is smaller and safer. Flashing a teenybin unlocks the bootloader and puts a custom recovery. From there you can just flash a new ROM.

Or you can flash a teenybin. Which is smaller and safer. Flashing a teenybin unlocks the bootloader and puts a custom recovery. From there you can just flash a new ROM.

Thanks. Do you know if there's an accurate guide on how to do the teenybin? It's been ages since I've done anything more than root, and I'm not sure what to search for.

The directions to use the Teenybin are in the OP found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230994
The hardest part is getting LGNPST working properly. But that's easy now thanks to the auto install.
Did u fix your phone?
Going to assume teeney bin worked for op. It did for me when I had issues

Apologies all, yes I got it working... Mostly. WiFi quit working completely (refused to connect), phone calls took forever to go through, and other odd issues. I'm running it off an old backup of ICS on my external SD. The issues were too much for me to handle, and I was scared to do anything more, so I've got a Moto x. I'm going to try to correctly fix the OG now, so hopefully by documenting the process I can help someone else.

i was scared to use teenybin like you but 4.4 lured me into trying. Give teenybin a try its not that bad. you just need to install it, download the teenybin, launch the program, boot your phone into download mode and run the program with the dll and bin files selected.

I used the Teenybin. It worked enough so I could install my backup. The OS got wiped completely, so I think the kernel just couldn't handle all the stuff it had to anymore.
