Could someone please help??
tryed updating through System Update (OTA)
failed to install... said my device may have custom rom
I wasn't using a custom rom, only changed cid to use a custom rom but ended up using stock. Just forgot to change cid back.
Changed cid back to original (HTC__044) and tryed to download OTA again...
It succeeded to download and asked me to install... Accepted.
it rebooted to Recovery and failed to install.
Followed 1st post instructions (status 7)
and installed the OTA through recovery.
Instalation successful!
BUT
When I rebooted the device, it just doesn't boot.
I downloaded anryl files, but it failed to load PG86IMG.zip when I boot to bootloader. Says wrong image.
tried booting into recovery but it won't boot into recovery either.
then tried flashing recovery again and booting into recovery again. No success.
any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Wich H-BOOT do you have? Are you S-OFF or ON? Have you tried an older .img or newest?

My hboot is 1.49.0011. I´m S-ON and I tried the newest .img (modded ICS - because of that Status 7 error)
I would relock via adb if you can get it to recognize commands while in the bootloader mode. Then use a gingerbread rru to flash back to stock. Then you hopefully should be able to take the OTA and have it work.
Did you have a custom recovery when you went to do the ota or a stock one?

THANKS A LOT!
a question: can I accept the OTA update again?
do I have to do something before accepting the OTA?
or it's better for me to leave it that way?

I would just use any ROM other than the official update, I would suggest MEANROM ICS
phone wont update to ics
I just tried the OTA update for ICS on my evo 3d. After it downloads the update it shuts down, shows the installion screen, but reboots to 3.0. My h-boot is 1.5 with S-OFF. Any suggestions that will remedy this problem?
Is it possible to flash back to the stock t mobile HTC One rom then update it to 4.3?if so, could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Please let me know if you find out. I was wondering the same thing!
Let me try to help you guys.
What you guys need to do is to flash the original RUU for 1.27.531.11 from PC. Once you do that, you will be able to update OTA.
If you have unlocked bootloader and s-off, it will still carry over to the back to stock as well as OTA.
If you dont like it, just flash the older hboot and then recovery and another ROM.
I did it and works perfectly fine. Also no Root allow for Back to stock or OTA, you can do that later but not when trying to get update.
No custom recoveries, radio, boot, etc. Has to be stock ROM.
Ah, also please have sure the MID / CID is right before flashing to stock.

Unfortunately that only works on a Microsoft Windows computer. It won't work for Linux or Mac.

This is what I did. I was on a custom ROM, but -off, flashed 1.27 RUU, set basic settings up, then downloaded 4.3 update, still unlocked and -off. Painless.

The 1.27 RUU is stock ROM, bootloader, and recovery?
After upgrading did you re-flash a custom recovery and re-root?

Not yet. Gonna play with stock for awhile. I kind of like odexed and dont have a burning need to root. As for the "junk" in stock roms, there really isnt much, and what there is you can disable so not a big deal.

OK so just to clarify. I am currently on 1.27.531.11 rooted with a Unlocked S-off bootloader and TWRP recovery. All I need to do is, leave the bootloader unlocked and run the 1.27.531.11 RUU file. Once that is completed I can take the OTA to 4.3. Once this is complete will I still be S-Off and unlocked or S-off Locked? Then if I want to root (asuming bootloader is still unlocked) I would just need to flash the TWRP recovery and then flash SU, and I should then be updated to 4.3 rooted with a unlocked S-OFF bootloader. Is all of that correct? If not, please correct me before I attempt this. Thanks for any help.

Hi
I need a little information. I have been looking on the site but cant seem to figure what i need.
I would like to get CM11 or Avatar 5.0.6 on my incredible 4g but it keeps failing.
I have a unlocked bootloader S-Off and TWRP for my recovery. I guess my question is, how can i get this to load.
The directions stated to install the latest OTA but that will lock my phone back up. The directions also stated they were installing it with CWM.
So my question is do I need to change from TWRP to CWM to get the install to work and do I really need to update my phone and lose my unlocked phone?
OR is there a way to update the phone without re locking it?
Thanks

to update the firmware look at this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2626511
this i wll give you the new radio and power management and secute bootloader.
but it won't affect s-off or the boot image or the recovery.
you will need cwm for cm11 but i think you can switch back after the install
I didn't
If you have the latest TWRP 2.6.3.0h it works with CM11 and is supposed to have better support for SELinux.

There is a tread on the firmware. If your phone is already s-off, the firmware won't undo it. CM11 is using the radio libraries that go with the new radio firmware.
These are the steps i took to get the Kit Kat update.
I couldnt get the update OTA like most people and i was completely stock.
So if you are in a similar position these steps may help.
DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1. Unlock your bootloader and get root access. I did by following these instructions from this video.

2. Gain S-OFF by following these instructions from this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeFwsqU4YL4
3. After you have completed these steps successfully head over to @clsA thread and download the AT&T 4.4.2 OTAPkg.zip and the
stock Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img. Link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
4. Place the downloaded .zip on the root your phone storage.
5. follow the steps in @clsA post and flash Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img via fastboot.
6. Navigate to recovery from fastboot on your HTC ONE. If you see "Mount SDCard failed" ignore it. goto to phone storage and locate the update.zip and flash it.

So am I the only person who went into settings and Clicked AT&T update and got the 4.4.2 update that way. I have never had a phone in all my life tell me an update was ready. I always had to check manually about once or twice a week out of boredom. Did the same with my ONE last week and sure enough there was an update and it downloaded and installed fine.

If you're stock, you should be able to get the update just by changing the date. I brought my phone back to stock (3.17.502.3) then just kept hitting Software Update. If it didn't update, advance the date and try again. After a few date changes, the update was offered.

Anyone know if there are issues with S-Off and rooting since the update? I am 100% stock, non rooted, never installed a rom. Its been stock since the day I got it. I planned on getting the AT&T update to 4.4.2, rooting, making an update then testing some roms.
I know with other phones the update screwed some things up so I didn't know if rooting/s-off were an issue since the update.
Thanks ll!

So what exactly do we need to get OTA?
Stock recovery, android 4.3, locked bootloader?
I have all that, and still not finding an OTA update. Manually looking for the update, and I'm just not getting it.

Oh, I meant from at&t over the air. I feel like I'm missing something, so trying to find out what the ota requirements are.
I can't flash it yet, I only have a windows 8.1 computer with usb 3.0 ports. Fastboot doesn't work.

@chp recommend advancing your date and try and see if the update comes through. Try it a few times and see if it will work for you also

Tried that with no luck. Had to do a factory reset because I went to far, and my OTA check was in -300 hours.
You guys are forgetting that to be able to update the OTA, you need to have an ACTIVE at&t sim card inserted to your phone. I think this is the reason for all the confusion around since not everybody lives in the US
Downgrade to 4.3
OK, so I was able to upgrade but now I messed it up trying to patch default.xml. :crying:
I am trying to revert to the 4.3 with RRU but I get error 155.
I am S-Off, HBOOT 1.56.
I tried with bootloader re-locked, unlocked, locked. I tried with stock recovery and with ClockWM recovery both locked and unlocked.
I also tried to re-apply the patch with stock recover but it fails verification...
Any ideas how do I go back or fix this?
Thanks

The BEST way to make sure that you can run the RUU, whether it be the ATT version, or the Dev Edition is to make sure you downgrade the HBOOT to 1.44. You will never see than error again. No problems at all. Why on Earth though would you want the ATT version, when you can Dev it, and take the 4.4.2 OTA with no carrier BS?

Thank you.
Actually that is what I did. After downgrading HBoot I was able to use the RRU.
Unfortunately I use my phone for work with Mobileiron and will flag it to IT if I'm rooted. I have tried a couple of workaround so but did not work very well. Every time I try to monkey with it IT starts getting emails every 30 min saying my device is not compliant and I am rooted.... So my best solution is to unlock boot loader and flash mods there. Which got me into this trouble....
I can't navigate to the recovery after I flashed Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img to install the OTA. I've tried going to recovery mode and then pressing Power + Vol. Up to no avail. Any help?
Hi All,
I bought this refurbished AT&T unlocked HTC One from eBay. I am with T Mobile.
I already unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. Why I did this:
1) I wanted to remove all the AT&T stuff including their update check which doesn't work with T Mobile SIM. (But not able to do it even after uninstalling with Titanium, those just come back on restart)
2) I wanted KitKat (either like an unlocked or international HTC one or the Google Play KitKat)
But I am not sure how to proceed.
I already have downloaded a ROM from this link: htconeroot.com/htc-one-stock-roms/android-4-4-kitkat-sense-5-5-stock-rom-for-htc-one
But not sure about S-OFF/ON etc because I am a newbie, this is my second android phone and first rooting.
Can anyone give me step by step instructions to install either a google play kitkat or a pure sense 5.5 kitkat? I would prefer if I can do this just once now and get future updates automatically from google/htc.
Mine is Android 4.3 based Sense 5.0 with all the AT&T stuff. I am in the US.
There is no real difference between AT&T Kitkat and Jellybean on the One. In fact there are a few bugs with Kitkat. Such as the camera and a few others that have been posted.

I'd say switch to the Developer Edition rom, it doesn't contain all of the AT&T bloat.
1. Unlock the bootloader here.
2. S-Off via rummrunner or firewater.
3. Change CID to BS_US001 'fastboot oem writecid BS_US001'
4. Install Developer Edition 4.3 RUU, get it here.
5. Take OTA to 4.4.2.
There are guides in the One General and Q&A sections that cover all of this. Do a lot of reading, and then ask questions as needed.
Thanks. Any more Info?

The RUU is easy, it is a complete software package for the phone that will restore it to the original software of the Developer Edition phones.
For the RUU to work, the CID (carrier id) must be set to BS_US001. This why you'll need to s-off the phone, so that you can change the CID.
Go to http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads and select 'Brightstar US' as the carrier, then 'Find Files' and download the 'RUU 3.22.1540.1 Developer Edition'. It is an EXE, just run it with the phone connected to the USB port of the computer and it will walk you through the install. After it reboots you will have developer edition 4.3, then update to 4.4.2 by OTA, just check in the Software Update menu in settings on the phone. It will download a file to the phone that will update it.
rumrunner didn't work

unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2
options:

Thank you again. I installed 4.3 RUU and OTAed to KitKat.
Very much satisfied and happy with it.
Some questions:
My root and custom kernel are gone. Even the TWRP recovery is lost.
Do I need to flash TWRP as recovery again? And install SU and 4.4 ElementalX again for root and getting the kernel? If yes and if I do these, will my future OTAs be blocked?

you get future OTA by returning to stock first (flashing stock recovery will sometimes be all that's needed)
How do I flash stock recovery?

How do I flash stock recovery? If that alone doesn't work, is a complete installation with RUU the only way?

Flash it using fastboot just like you would flash TWRP. The stock recovery can be pulled out of a firmware.zip.
Could not find the recovery image

I got the notification for 4.19.1540.9 update. I was about to go back to the stock recovery to update this.
But could not unzip the recovery image from the RUU zip
(PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.22.1540.1.zip). It was not unzippable and even after repairing it with zip_repair tool I could not get the recovery image.
Also I downloaded recovery_1.29.1540.16_R.img from another xda post. That didn't work. After giving start update, it was stuck at a red triangle with a warning sign.

I think both of those recoveries are too old, you need the one for your currently installed kitkat version.
Any idea where can I get it?

I can't find the 4.19.1540.x version but I believe any 4.19.x.x version will work.
I think the stock recovery may be in this dark bootloader firmware download .

Get the 4.19.401.8 download and see if the recovery.img is included.
Best I can come up with for now.
No. That doesn't have it
