Can't boot into recovery - HTC Droid DNA

I was on TWRP and reloaded the stock recovery twice, RUU'd the stock hboot and radios according to .torrented's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740
I can do the first OTA update. The second one downloads and attempts to install but about 1/3 of the way into the install, I get the red triangle. I cannot boot into recovery. It just gives me a red triangle. The phone works fine and I still get the 4.2.2 update/install nag but it won't install.
I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Reloaded TWRP. Guess I will stay on 3.06 for a while longer.

Using fastboot commands on your computer type fastboot clear cache and see if that helps your recovery issue.

The red triangle screen, is stock recovery.
If you hold volume up and power, you'll get a menu.
In that menu, you would choose to install from cache.
But due to it not doing it automatically, I'd say it's gonna fail to complete the update anyways.
You must be on a full odex stock Rom for the update to take.
If you removed any system apps, it will fail...
My stock Odex full JB Rom and stock recovery from same thread is all that's needed to successfully take the OTA.
I also posted the kit Kat update in stock form, fwiw.

Trying your update now. Using TWRP for the rom and adb for the firmware

Worked! Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion. That didn't work but I used a method to unlock a long time ago where I had to change my CID. As the roms progressed from the 2.0x, things with recovery and root were spotty at best.
Funny how not wanting to reset my phone long ago lead to me resetting it 4 times trying to get this update to work.

OTA Update January 20 2012 Question

All -
My beloved 3D is telling me there's a security update being pushed by Sprint. I am rooted but with an as yet untouched (stock) ROM. I obviously don't want to lose root - will allowing this update remove root (I've had that issue with past phones). I backed out of the update but the stupid notification won't go away so if it comes to pass that I should *not* allow the update, I need to figure out how to get rid of that blasted icon.
Thanks as always
If you are on hboot 1.50 just flash stock recovery and then take the update...you will not lose root...when done, flash back to wutever recovery you were using before and you're all done....
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
If you could see me now, you'd see eyes glossed over, deer in the headlights look. Yes, I'm on 1.50... To flash the stock recovery I'm guessing I just go into recovery, apply update from zip, and go, correct? Where can I find the stock recovery at? Then, when done, if I have a stock recovery I don't know how to put shooter xc back on... Cripes I'm chasin my tail...
Wut u need to do is download the 3 files i have attached here for u.Make sure to extract the 2 zip files.
1.Install flash image gui like any other apk and open.
2.Click on Recovery Image then browse to where ever the stock recovery is on your sd card and select it and then click flash.
3.You should now have stock recovery on ur evo so just proceed to install the update. If all goes good you should now be updated.
4.If you want to put cwm as your recovery again just open flash image gui and repeat step 2 but this time just browse to cwm on your sd card and flash that.
You should be all set know.

Luda305,
Is this proven and can you run a rom that isn't updated?
Thank you in advance!
Yes this is proven as I did this myself. Only works if your on the stock rom of your phone. If you mean can you flash a rom that is not updated after you do this the answer is yes. The radio will stay updated no matter what rom you flash since we are on hboot 1.50 and can't flash radios. Hope this answers your question.

Seriously - thank you Luda... Users like you are what make XDA so successful.
CWM for recovery is pretty nice some folks were having issues using TWRP 2.0 I had few using it when it came to flashing werid ones.
All who like flash image GUI please get the paid version to support the developer its only a dollar. Joey Krim is a lifesaver for those of us on hboot 1.5.

Did anyone on hboot 1.4 lose s-off or get a upgraded hboot version when excepting the OTA update?
Ok, quick question. Flashed stock recovery, but I cannot update via the HTC updater.
So I downloaded the update in zip format.
How do I install from the Zip?? with stock recovery on????

You can't. You need a custom recovery. Unless your s-off and you flash it threw the bootloader.

Also - as far as FlashImageGUI, I downloaded (and thus paid .99 for) my copy from the market. I'm a firm believer in rewarding those who put the work in.
I can't get the update to work I used flashimagegui; flashed to stock recovery; went to HTC software update, hit check now, downloaded, hit install now; it goes into bootloader-type loading screen; gets about 1/5 of the way then displays an android software with a red triangle/exclamation point.
I suspect that if I can find this update in the form of a zip, I could just apply the update from CWM but I have no idea how to get the update in that form... Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you reboot after flashing the stock recovery? Are you on a rooted rom or did you revert back to the stock RUU?

Did you validate that the stock recovery worked by holding volume down and power and booting into recovery? Did you fastboot oem lock? I havent seen much success with people using the flash image GUI but i've seen around the forums that if you go into the custom recovery, flash the stockl recovery zip, flash the stock rom zip then then fastboot oem lock, it works.

[Q] 3.15.651.16 | JELLY BEAN!! | OTA Root question

Quick question about updating to 3.15.651.16.
I am on a stock EVO 4g lte that has been rooted and has the newest TWRP Recovery and is S-ON. I was wondering if anyone has used the SuperSU Pro OTA survival mode and tried to apply the OTA update and if so did it work?

I think TWRP will prevent the OTA from installing. I had the same exact setup as you and what I tried was to flash a stock recovery.img and then take the OTA. That didn't work for me, I got a red triangle in recovery when it tried to update. I haven't had a chance to figure out what other options I have besides just flashing one of the custom ROMs. Would like to find a way to update without wiping everything but I think that's what I'll end up doing, just trying to avoid it.
You just need to flash the stock recovery back and then take the ota. Afterwhich you can flash twrp back

i did it last night and can confirm that it does. just need to make sure that your /system partition is stock as well. (at least that's what i did)
Figured mine out so thought I'd post back. Learned somewhere that if you hold Vol Up and then hit Power when you get the Red Triangle with Exclamation Point it will show you a log of what happened. Mine was failing due to a custom boot animation (live dmesg lite) - so I uninstalled that and the OTA installed fine.

Cannot install new ota update

I have looked through numerous threads to find an answer to my problem but cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have tried obtaining the new update both OTA and installing on my SD card and am getting the same problem all the time. My phone will reboot into recovery ( I have CWM) and the screen with say "Install this untrusted package?" I have to tap the volume down button to "install untrusted zip" and when I hit the power button I get the same error that it failed to verify the whole file signature. D: Error in /cache/fumo/OTApkg.zip
I am rooted completely stock with s-on.
Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work?
Thanks.
You have to relock the bootloader and be on stock recovery to accept the ota.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah just relock the bootloader (hasoon2000 all in one is easy if you dont know the script), and name the file ph98img.zip, then boot to bootloader and accept the update.
edit:
I want to add you MIGHT need to do the update twice once you do what we both mentioned. I had it once require me to flash the ph98img file twice before it booted into htc stock ics, maybe because I was on one of the new JB roms
Ok apparently I don't know how to go back to a stock recovery. Could you explain.
Also, if I go back to stock recovery would this mean I would have to re root everything?
The only reason I am doing this is so my stupid phone will quit rebooting into recovery in the middle of the night.

Only way i know of getting stock recovery is to flash the RUU but this will wipe the phone.
back up the rom you are on now.
back up internal partition
lock bootloader
flash RUU in hboot
this will get you 100% out of the box stock
accept the OTA update.

I was able to get it to stop rebooting and failing by renaming /system/app/HTCdm.apk,
(after seeing that was what was doing the download). I then deleted the OTA zip file,
and rebooted. Since then it has not tried to reprocess the OTA.,
My feeling is that shouldn't have tried in the first place. But this workaround seems to work.

how do i update my rooted htc one/m7

when i try to install the update it sends me to the bootloader and wont install the update how do i fix that?

I'm not sure about him, but I have a rooted One and have flashed the stock recovery back onto it. I've tried installing the OTA that was pushed to my phone, but when it boots into recovery it only gets about halfway before it fails. It reboots into recovery and tries again, before just showing a red exclamation mark. I haven't been able to find much information on how to install the OTA without wiping the phone and losing all my data. Any ideas?

New ota 531.11

Well last night I got the new it's 531.11
It download and try to install. It fail since I'm on custom recovery but stock rooted Rom.
I remember last time I just installed the other ota via clockworks.
But this in keeps stopping.
Is there a way to unpack it and repack it to use?
Or must I load stock recovery, flash then re root?

yea wish there was a fix i have no clue why it keeps doing this. The .8 update hung but rebooting fix it. but this one just keeps giving the triangle and not sure how to fix it.
Found the FIX
So found out if you hit vol + and power it will bring up the menu for the stock recovery.
I flash the update using that and came up with and error and red triangle.
It said that tmobile iq was missing and it was trying to patch it.
Which is probably why it stops and throws the Red error.
I added it back to my /system/app/ and it fix it but then came up with another error about another missing app. (i debloated the rom and deleted all the crap)
I added back all the stock boat ware files from Nocturnal_1.27.531.7_Odex_TmoStock rom
Then try to flash 531.11 but came up with some errors for some mix match odex files.
So flash the update 531.8
hangs on running bug_fix1 tool but just reboot phone with vol - and power
try to flash again and it . It finally flash and ended up with a fresh copy of 531.8
So now since all those files are there i flash the 531.11
Went throught withotu problems. Reboot on its own a few times tho.
once it loaded it came up and told me to update the camera and i did so.
I didnt have to re root but probably because i have super su set to stay with ota updates. I did flash back cwmod
Headache and a lot of rebooting lol but i guess its just how it works. The script is written to abort if it doesnt find or is a mix match ver of the file its trying to patch.
look on my signature, made a fresh stock odex rom, nothing added.. not rooted rom,
if u want root, just flash the SU and download from the google playstore busybox 9.6.
no files are added or taken out.
