T6UL OTA 4.4.2 HtcSoundRecorder issue - HTC One Max

I have a Singapore T6UL running on 4.3 S-OFF, Bootloader unlocked, rooted. When the 4.4.2 OTA came, I tried installing using the stock recovery. But it is complaining about HtcSoundRecorder.apk and Weixin.apk and abort the installation.Problem is HTCSoundRecorder is removed automatically when I unlocked the bootloader. Can anyone help to provide me with these 2 apk? :crying:

Here is the soundrecorder - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48759137&postcount=2

Do you have a screen shot for us ? that sounds pretty interesting to look at.

I have never heard of anything beibg removed with unlocking thr bootloader. It is possible unlocking the bootloader makes some apps not function properly (or even show up) but the apk should definitely still be there.

I tried using the HtcSoundRecorder.apk that pradeepvizz provides, Still same issue. Complaining about "\data\preload\HtcSoundRecorder.apk has unexpected contents Installation aborted" Tried with the apk extracted from a couple of roms in the dev section. Same issue,
The original doesn't have the "\data\preload" directory. So I thought that creating that directory and copying in the apk should work but it doesn't.
It seems that the \data\preload folder is removed after I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev...
Any ideas?

I am on software version: 1.23.707.1 Any kinds soul have the backup for this version? :highfive:

So I thought we had a preload partition vice the preload folder? Unless I am just thinking of my samsung devices. Cant look up the partitions right at this second but that would make sense to me (and why I thought nothing was deleted from system or data).

Trying to update from 1.23.707.1 to 2.61.707.1
Tried factory reset. Still doesn't bring back that folder for me...
Funny for HTC to remove those stuff after unlocking bootloader.

Did you miss a OTA in the middle like 1.54 or something?

I don't think so. I didn't get any software update prompt except for the latest 4.2.2 update since I bought the Max on day 1 launch in Singapore.

Some options that I am thinking:
Option 1: Edit the ota update script to remove checks for sound recorder and weixin. This will make the zip to be unsigned and I am thinking whether this can be flashed using TWRP or CWM as stock recovery shouldn't allow it to be flashed due to unsigned package.
Option 2: Lock the bootloader. Factory reset. I am wondering if this can bring back to 100% stock state. I am from the Windows CE world and this works on CE as it will reload everything from the ROM image.

did you try to extract the apk from virtuous ROM? that was only the ROM which i remember to have these files. the Apk files that i had linked were collected it from various posts on XDA, so that could be something causing the mismatch
I am not sure if CWM/TWRP can flash a edited zip using "install update.zip" but i think you can do that via adb sideload in TWRP/CWM.
Do you have the OTA link or the file, can you please upload so that the experts here can use it / help you with it?

Yep. I tried with the apk from virtuous ROM having the same issue. I checked the sha-1 of 5 copies of the apk from different sources and none of them has the matching sha-1 that the update script is asking for.
Can you share what is the differences between flashing via adb sideload and "install update.zip"?
I will try to upload the ota file when I get back from work tonight, :highfive:
HTC is spending theiir resources at the wrong place!

i understand your frustration, but i believe this is part of Google's security improvement in the OTA process.
i am not sure on the difference between adb sideload and update.zip, just did a little bit of Google and found that TWRP may work with the OTA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573565
Hope something works out.

I just extracted this apk from OTA_T6_UL_JB43_SENSE55_HTC_Europe_1.54.401.1-1.19.401.2_release_341451bchda87kitj44eh9.zip
This is the EURO OTA from 1.19 to 1.54, not sure if that will help you.
i checked the update-script on this OTA and it seemed to all good and should work with CWM / TWRP if all the executables are there..
Hope for the best!

I confirmed that locking bootloader + factory reset does not bring back the \data\preload folder and contents. HTC post load it on top of the rom.

Well, if you are able to find an RUU for your phone, that can be the only clean way to do it.
you can edit the script and removed the lines which specifies soundrecorder apk and then flash it with TWRP / CWM.

There is no RUU released for this version yet.
I tried the script editing method and use trwp n cwm. Both failed. Trwp gave an update binary error

From tmonews, it's 4.0.3 and not 4.0.4. I think 4.0.3 is the correct one. Anyway, we will know it soon enough.
Would somebody be so kind and try to keep the update.zip for those of us who have problems getting back to stock?
ICS is now released and my Springboard is downloading the update!
Here is the ZIP file update for anyone that want to grab it to extract and play...
http://www.gamefront.com/files/22180781/Springboard-ics-update.zip
Update:
OTA failed for me right away. I got the update to manually install with the following steps:
1) Created a folder on root of my SDcard, dload
2) Copied the update ZIP file above into dload and renamed it to update.zip
3) Created a zero length file unlmt.cfg in the dload folder
Rebooted with normal VOL+ key held down to start a SD install.
Note: After upgrade completed the Launcher would not start and kept repeating "Unfortunately Launcher has stopped".
To fix, click Ok and quickly bring up the Statusbar menu by swiping it at the bottom of the screen and click on the clock/date, next enter Settings->Apps->All->Launcher, then clear data.
Looks like a full update So everyone who flashed the Springboard to MediaPad could go back now, if wanted.
Best feature in this update for me is, the startup T-mobile sound is about 1/4 the old volume!
:fingers-crossed:
Does this T-mobile ICS seem to support the phone function?

I'm downloading it now. I think I might try to flash just the radio files and see if that improves things for me. I'm otherwise satisfied with the international ICS firmware.

Hi,
does anybody know, if I can run this update on the German Version of the Mediapad or shall I better refrain from trying?
Thank you

Does the springboard have to be rooted before the update to get root? I used the update but it is not rooted now nor was it before and I would like to get root.

Nope the update is a full wipe. So you will need to root after the update.

Have you actually got this root method to work for the non-Mediapad Springboard with the T-Mobile firmware? I run Linux and so the command script in this package will not exactly execute on my machine. I tried manually sequentially entering the adb commands contained in the command script, and got stuck at a 'permission denied' error within the first several commands. If this does work for the Springboard, and not just the Mediapad, then there might be something about the embedded windows drivers and software for the device that allows it to work...because I sure can't get it to fly on Ubuntu.

I actually used the below method to install root again on ICS. I believe there is a fastboot for Linux if you cannot find a DOS/Windows machine.
Only issue I was my Springboard was recovery booting off of "recovery2" partition so I needed to flashboot that partition to get CWM recovery to boot. Since the Official Springboard ICS zip package contains the stock recovery.img file you really can flash both recovery/recovery2 partitions and revert back later if needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850367
And to clarify, for booting into Fastboot, you hold the power button and the VOL closest to it down at the same time.
To boot recovery/CWM hold the power button and VOL key furthur away from the power button (its VOL Up) for some reason.
Also, don't try to use the Touch recovery (TWM) package, it froze up on me when trying to run the root zip installer, but luckily reverting to the basic CWM recovery, I was able to re-install and fix my boot looping.

[NANDROID] TF201 JB 10.4.2.15 (US) - System Nandroid/TWRP Recovery/DeOdex Files/Blobs

Well, here goes nothing.... With a little effort, I've got this done...
1. A system partition nandroid of the Jelly Bean 10.4.2.15 update created using TWRP 2.2.2
2. A modified TWRP 2.2.2 recovery which works with the new bootloader
This system nandroid image has been created for developer use. So, it's not for everyone to play around with. It does not have the new bootloader or boot image, both of which are required to use this system image. It was created using my modified copy of the TWRP 2.2.2 recovery image.
The TWRP 2.2.2 recovery image below is a modified version of the original TWRP 2.2.2 recovery (credits TeamWin). I have merely replaced the kernel within the recovery image with the new JB kernel, thereby allowing it to work with the new bootloader. This is an un-blob'd recovery image. If you wish to directly flash this image, you need to have nvFlash enabled. Else you need to make a blob pack and flash it.
I've now added a zip with the de-odexed system apps and framework jar. This zip only has the /system/app & /system/framework folders. Just to make it easier if anyone wants to create an update zip.
I've also added blobpacked version of the new JB bootloader, kernel, stock recovery and my modified TWRP recovery. Be careful. If you don't know what your are doing and don't have nvFlash enabled, you could brick your device.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! THE NEW TF201 JB BOOTLOADER IS ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT!!! BE CAREFUL OR YOUR COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Let the modding begin!!!
tf201-jro03c-system.ext4.win (The system nandroid image)
twrp-2.2.2-jb.img (The un-blob'd modified TWRP recovery)
tf201-jro03c-deodex.zip (De-odexed system apps and framework jars only)
tf201-jb-bootloader.blob (Blobpack of the new JB bootloader)
tf201-jb-kernel.blob (Blobpack of the new JB kernel)
tf201-jb-stock-recovery.blob (Blobpack of the new JB stock recovery)

if you don't know what to do with these files, DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THEM.
I cannot stress this enough ATM. Yes, we know what to do with them, but until it is deemed safe, or until a better was of flashing is created, only very experienced users/devs should try this.

Em, boss, I hear you but we've probably not understood one another on the kind of clarity I'm looking for? What's the reference point for using this? (e.g. current ROM, operating system of PC etc etc)
For example am running a Linux machine at the moment and can easily run the following command to flash the recovery image using fastboot:
./fastboot-linux -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp-2.2.2-jb.img
or something to that effect and then would continue to reboot to recovery, copy the nandroid and restore from there?
Anyway, never mind...I take your advice and keep my fingers clear...

The reference point is a cleanly wiped system. I'm creating a rom from this but you need the new bootloader and recovery. I had the androidroot bootloader installed, wiped system and factory reset. I flashed my JB stock rom and it did replace the bootloader and recovery with a modified TWRP from Craiggomez. The only issue I'm having is that wifi won't connect. I'll figure it out.
What I'm saying is that if you were to flash this image with the old bootloader and recovery, you'd have serious issues.
Ahhh, waiting a few more weeks/months wont hurt anyone ;p

Yay, thanks for working on that! I am tempted to flash the jb stock image (from unpack) and do all the above, but still, I'd rather have a more reliable method step by step instruction set.
And yes, there is a new partition scheme. Flashing the image with old partition scheme intact will cause errors that could be fixed by nvflash.

Files for Tmobile JB update

If you are rooted in V10G with Tmobile P769, then you can bypass OTA and go straight to rooted V20D JB with CWM already installed.
Here is a copy of rooted CWM back up of P769 V20D
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40775018&postcount=772
The latest lock boot loader CWM (v1.5) for JB is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36620368&postcount=1
The radio update zip file is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40844363&postcount=37
1) First delete the version 1.4 CWM
>>> 1. Delete /system/bootstrap directory
>>> 2. Delete /system/bin/e2fsck file
>>> 3. Rename /system/bin/e2fsck.bin file to e2fsck
2) Download and install version 1.5 CWM
3) If you have Titanium Back up, make a fresh back up.
4) Download and copy V20D back up folder to clockworkmod back up folder.
4.5) Download and copy radio.zip to SD.
5) Reset and go into CWM.
6) set the back up format to 'tar'
7) run Back up to external SD. This will give you a latest back up of you V10G.
8) run Restore from external SD and find the V20 back up folder.
8.5) run Install Zip from SD for the radio.zip file. NOTE this update takes 2-3 min. Do not panic.
9) When the opration is finished, reboot.
You should be in a fresh rooted V20D JB. Now download Titanium Back up and restore your apps.
Please thank the file contributors in their posts for their effort.

Just like everyone else has stated although, While in SuperSU the first re-installation failed, but you just go back into the app and install it again and it successfully installs the su binaries
I find it hilarious and awesome that I haven't had to re root the phone since I got it in February and rooted with 10e (when the method was easy). I used Voodoo for 10G and now with 20D
The whole process took a good 15 min.

hi. I can't find original post of this. I d-loaded zip but don't know how to apply properly without losing root. can you either point me to the thread or tell me if I should just use voodoo then flash with CWM?
removed.
I have restored the rooted backup. Works great except for loss of service. The update included new radio. Anyone able to make a flash able zip?

Not sure if there is a way to upgrade radio via cwm. You can try replacing /system/bin/rild to one from ics

Well, I was going to write and tell people I can't get the OTA update and also seem to be unable to reinstall the stock apps so it will pick up the OTA update (rooted with 10g from another user), but....NEVER MIND! Will try this method and see if it works.
One question - in the instructions it says delete 1.4. Ok, from the link page I get that, but curious....wouldn't installing 1.5 just erase and overwrite 1.4 anyway? Why the need to delete it, other than just having a clean install? Doesn't matter to me really, just curious.
did everything you said below and I got the MD5 mismatch! It aborted the JB update in CWM. . and suggestions?

If you are rooted in V10G with Tmobile P769, then you can bypass OTA and go straight to rooted V20D JB with CWM already installed.
Here is a copy of rooted CWM back up of P769 V20D

The latest lock boot loader CWM (v1.5) for JB is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36620368&postcount=1
1) First delete the version 1.4 CWM
2) Download and install version 1.5 CWM
3) If you have Titanium Back up, make a fresh back up.
4) Download and copy V20D back up folder to clockworkmod back up folder.
5) Reset and go into CWM.
6) set the back up format to 'tar'
7) run Back up to external SD. This will give you a latest back up of you V10G.
8) run Restore from external SD and find the V20 back up folder.
9) When the restore is finished, reboot.
You should be in a fresh rooted V20D JB. Now download Titanium Back up and restore your apps.
Enjoy.

I am looking for a file which I think is needed for the JB update to occur for Tmobile 769.
The actual OTA ZIP file has been already posted but I am looking for the file
/sbin/recovery.
If you are rooted and have received "OTA is ready message", before you update your phone, please look for the above file and post it here for us.
TIA

I've had this happen on my nexus 7 before. Redownload the file and copy it over again. Something got fudged up while moving it around.

Im pretty sure installing 1.5 over 1.4 is totally fine(I did). Never hurts to be too safe though.
1) You may be able to just install V1.5 on top of V1.4. I don't know. It's just two deletes and one rename to get rid of V1.4.
2) If you are getting MD5 mismatch, make sure you do not rename the file directory. Try downloading again and you can also check using an external MD5 checker app.
Does this flash the radios too? Those are also needed.
Everything seems to work fine without flashing baseband.

Yes, the radio seems fine. It looks like the 4 radio fls files were patched during the update. Actually, the signal level has improved around -5 dB. Just make sure you turn off the wi-fi calling option from the set up.
If you leave the option on, it will keep on try to turn off the radio.
P.S. - Anyone know how to get rid of Quick slide apps on the notification area?
So are we saying this CWM zip does not flash the radios?
It would be good to flash the new radios. It may help with cell reception.
More bars does not mean better reception if you have not flashed the radios. It just means that the new software is not reading what it is expecting from radio.
Will this work for rooted 10e as well?

Is there an issue with the Wi-Fi calling option on JB? I use it in my house due to bad reception, will updating cause issues? Anyone know? Thanks!

flashing stock recovery
download the above file and put it with your fastboot / adb files
boot the phone to fastboot usb
open command prompt from the fastboot folder
type
fastboot flash recovery Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now your ready to flash the ota.zip
Many have problems just using the stock recovery alone.. if this is your situation you need to RUU back to 3.17.502.3 First.
I posted the link here >> http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
If your s-on you'll have to lock the bootloader before flashing the RUU
fastboot oem lock

don't panic if you can access recovery your fine
download a rom and push it to your phone
boot phone to recovery / go advanced / screen / timeout never
on you pc you should have a folder with adb and fastboot
put the rom you choose in the folder with adb
then open a command prompt in the same folder (shift + right click - command prompt here)
in the window type
adb devices
your serial number should be here
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
let it copy is takes a few min and you can tell it's done
now from your phone go to install
find the rom.zip and flash
you should be up and running
Is the RUU available yet? Can someone please provide a link if it is? Thanks.

you seem very confused .. you can't flash any of these OTA like a rom it won't work !!
users using custom ROMs can't download latest OTA from HTC,
1) If you want to download and flash latest OTA, your device must have completely stock system partition and recovery. Every OTA update is checking MD5 of each file on system partition to ensure .apk patch can be applied. If even one of 1000 files won't match, OTA update installation will fail. In this case you need to flash the latest official update you can find (A RUU) (even one year old) and later download official OTA updates.

after i flash the IMG file to fastboot using ADB what do i need to do next? cause i don't know how to flash the update zip. When I was in the bootloader I tried to get into what I thought was the flashed stock. But it showed a black screen and it was just a picture of my phone with a circular arrow inside a circle. and i had to options before i flashed the RUU and went back to stock. the only one is "unlocked" so i still have S-Off? it doesn't say tampered

Stock HTC One, at&t, just updated to 4.4.2 yesterday morning (approx 11am EST).
I was able to successfully edit three pictures... The first, a simple rotate, changed the pic and ovetwrote the original. The second, also from a separate folder, I cropped a pic and saved it. This created a second image of the edited content. Finally, I edited a pic from the camera pic folder, which included crop and effects. This saved correctly as a separate file as well.

Some people havce this issue some do not, do not know why this occurs, but its been confirmed from [email protected] in photo editing software....so we shall see

Make a twrp rom file out of a android M stock image?

Hi,
Nexus 9 is my main device and I prefer to install roms without using a pc. Is there a way or tutorial to make a twrp flashable rom file out of Android M or any stock image through our tablet? I mean not using a pc at all...
I don't suppose you're rooted right now? If you are get flashify. If you're not your going to need fastboot and a pc.

@USBhost
I will find a pc to update the latest bootloader. Please go on with the rom. Thanks.
They can fairly easily be modified into update.zip files without the "common" approach of extracting the files from the image and going through a long drawn-out process of formatting, copying, setting permissions, etc.
The key is in the updater-script file in the update.zip package. Look at the syntax around installing an "image" file, like boot.img. Now you just extend the script to do the same thing with all the other .img files, and strip out all the junk that you don't need.
This goes for bootloaders, radio, recovery, boot, system.... everything. All works the same.

I am not that good but I do understand your logic. I guess that is the way that @USBhost will make the M rom. Just the bootloader needs to be updated via fastboot if I am not mistaken.
It would be great to have such a zip template as someone can update the img files easy later on.

Nope. Bootloader can be updated in any manner you prefer. You can even update it from directly within android by dd'ing it to the right place(s). Google seems to like to reboot the unit right after installing the bootloader, probably because the bootloader is where fastboot is actually implemented (take advantage of any updates or bug fixes there...) BUT, this is certainly not mandatory. Remember that factory OTA's update everything from recovery!

EVERY update.zip that includes a boot.img *is* such a template.
