Hi everyone,
I have an M8 that has been rooted and has s-off. One of my friends helped me do this. It is at version 4.4.2. When I download the OTA package, it boots to teamwin and when I try to flash the ota package it fails. Is there something that I am missing? Do I need to un-root it and turn s-on? Thanks in advance.

You need to revert back to stock recovery. Stock recovery is required to install OTA.
Unrooting is not needed to OTA. Going back S-on is not needed either, and absolutely not recommended.
How would I go about going back to stock recovery? I think I tried this in the past but was never able to get it to work correctly.

See is someone has posted it, then flash in fastboot.
You are still on the stock ROM? What software number in Settings>About>Software information?
Alternately, if you don't care about your personal data being wiped and setting up the phone again (there are various ways to backup and restore your data, especially since you are rooted) you can just RUU up to the current OS version.

As far as I know it is still the stock Rom. The software number is 1.58.502.1 I would prefer if I did not have to wipe my phone. Thanks for helping, I appreciate it

I used the stock recovery for the same version as my phone, but now when I go into recovery mode, it is a red triangle with an exclaimation mark. Any suggestions for how to get past this? Thanks!

That is what stock recovery is. You can OTA by booting normally and checking for software update in settings.

So I got my recovery back to stock. I download the update fine but when it goes to reboot into recovery, it starts to update and a little into it, I get a red triangle and I have to reboot my phone. When it comes back up, I get the message saying "There was a problem with this software update that prevented installation." Any suggestions?

Delete the OTA file (believe it should be in Downloads folder) and try to download the update again.
Or just RUU as I mentioned previously.

Hi Redpoint, I deleted the OTA file and tried again with the same results. How would I go about RUU? And you mentioned before that this will wipe my device, correct? Will it change me being rooted and having s-off? Thank you so much for the assistance, I really appreciate it

RUUs are linked on my Index thread under "RUUs": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Yes, the RUU will wipe the device. So backup anything you want to keep accordingly.
You can RUU all the way up to Lollipop. Just download the RUU to a PC, connect the phone, and run the RUU executable. The rest is self-explanatory by the RUU program, and very easy.
Since you are s-off, no need to relock the bootloader to RUU. Relocking the bootloader is required to run the RUU with s-on. I know that you are s-off (and this doesn't apply to you), but just wanted to add that in case anyone else reads this and tries it (to avoid confusion).
S-off will remain after RUU.
You will lose root. So after RUU, just install custom recovery again, and root by your desire method again. The same would happen if you updated by OTA.

Unroot, restore stock recovery then relock the bootloader, then try again. It won't allow the update with an unlocked bootloader.

Use the Amaze toolkit, it has everything as a button, do it in this order and you should be fineL
1. restore stock recovery
2. relock the bootloader (oem_relock)
3. retry updating.

Hey Dark, I flashed the stock recovery, relocked the bootloader, ran the update again and now I get a phone pic with a red triangle and exclamation mark...any ideas?
Download one of the GB stock RUU files, rename it and place it on your external sd card and reboot into HBoot, it should automatically detect the file and take your entire phone back to complete stock, there shouldn't be any stops from updating.
Stock RUU thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
rename the file to PH85IMG.zip when you place in on your sd card.

well, when I unlocked my bootloader I used the HTC site, then I had Binery help me with root. he came up with a one-click root while we were doing it. After that I haven't done anything else to it besides get rid of the bloat cuz that's the only reason I wanted root.
Everything should be fine then, stock recovery, stock rom, locked bootloader, tried re-downloading the update?

I just did a factory reset, re-downloaded the update, Im about to try the install now. I did notice one thing though when I was using Hasoon, I think it said Failed when I flashed the stock recovery...
Yep, The update failed to install again.
What radio is on the new OTA update? Can someone who has done the update, post?
No clue where recovery files go on the amaze or we could do it via recovery, just retry flashing stock recovery, if not we'll have to wait until someone pulls the file and makes a zip file to flash it, did you try flashing the recovery using the tool while the phone was in fastboot? That's probably a requirement.
I have a rooted Rezound running the OTA ICS. I also have Amon Ra recovery. The newest Firmware update keeps downloading. Once it does the phone shuts off and goes straight to Amon Ra which does not install new firmware. So I reboot the phone and the download process starts all over again. Is there any way to get this new firmware with having to factory reset? Thanks in advance!

If you want the OTA to go you need to flash stock recovery.

In confused why don't you just flash stock recovery and let the OTA go? Problem solved. Oh you'd have to relock also.

Are you going to settings> software update> check new?
From 605.12 you should get a small OTA first then the big one after that one is done. I just did same procedure in the last week on my wife's phone.
Btw might want to be on WiFi if you aren't already for the download.
Having the same issue here as OP and been searching forums for days looking for help...
First, I'm on 605.13 already, stock ROM, rooted with Amon ra. I realize the steps I need to take but can't find any specifics.
Could someone please spell out the specifics of how to flash the stock recovery, and if I can use the 605.12 RUU to do this being on .13 already. I keep seeing others posting about just renaming a file to recovery.img and pushing using fastboot, but I'm not sure how to obtain the correct file.
Do you relock bootloader first or flash stock recovery first and the relock? BTW I'm s-on stil. Thanks in advance

For some apparent reason the 605.13 update downloaded this afternoon and the 605.14 updated. Its all set after a frustrating 2 weeks of digital torture. thanks to all that helped. I had to scour all these resources and forums to get this done but this is what worked for me. I relocked the bootloader then I used the 605.12 RRU.exe program. After about a day I checked for the updates and they downloaded and installed successfully.
Xander, since you just got this working, can you please confirm the process - I'm about to do this myself and want to verify the steps...
1) Reboot into hboot > fastboot and relock bootloader via fastboot oem lock
2) download 3.14.605.12 RUU.exe (I'm currently on 3.14.605.13)
3) Reboot phone into hboot > fastboot usb
4) run RUU.exe from PC
Is that it? Anything I'm missing here or am I on the right path?

U have step 1 and step 2 correct. Step 3 would be to connect the phone to the computer and run the 605.12 ruu.exe tool. After that u are now back to a stock phone. After the initial setup of adding your gmail account and contacts you can now go into system settings and check for update. As I stated before my phone would not download the update for some odd reason. I tried it a couple more times without success. Today on a whim I went to check for the update again and it started to download. After the small 6mb file was complete the next update for 605.14 downloaded without anny issues. Make sure you delete any zip files off your external SD card labeled ph98img.zip if u tried that method.
Step1 relock boot loader
Step2 run 3.14.605.12 ruu.exe
Step3 check for updates
Step4 unlock phone if you want to
I hope this helps anyone. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.. Got it! And I got both the 13 and 14 updates almost immediately afterwards. I appreciate the confirmation about the process...

Check the march 10 2013 thread titled rezound in trouble please help. The download link is there. Its under the vigor section.
Here is the RUU I used without issues:
shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vigor
(http removed from link due to forum limitations)
3rd from the bottom...
Hello all,
I usually don't like posting new threads as you can find all you need by searching, but I believe I have a particular situation.
I rooted my phone a while ago using the appropriate methods and then flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440315
I didn't recognize until now, as I am trying to return to stock rom and stuff in order to clean install the new official AT&T update, that this rom somehow also updated my firmware to 3.10.502.2 but I am not S-Off. I didn't/don't know how it upgraded my firmware to this w/o being S-Off but it is. So I have read that if I try and install any other stock rom than my touch screen won't work. And in order for that to work, I think I'll have to gain S-Off and then flash an earlier firmware then flash a rom, but I don't really want to be S-Off for this phone.
Also another stupid mistake I did was not create a nandroid backup of my stock everything before flashing
So in order to accomplish my goal I believe my 2 options are to either gain S-Off, flash an ealier firmware (like 1.26.502.12) and then flash a stock rom or I saw a link that had a stock nandroid backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272893
that I can maybe use to restore but will this restore my firmware too?
Any help would be appreciated

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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
Adrian

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?

Thanks a lot Schmitt. I think that is exactly what I have to do.
My bootloader is already unlcoked, Also I think I can handle Step 2 and Step3. Could you please pour or point me to more info on Step 4 and 5. Links to discussions here or other links will do. Being a newbie I am totally confused about stock, kernel, RUU etc.

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

rumrunner gave this error:
unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2
options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner
(preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix thi
s issue for you!!!.

Flash the ElementalX kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40682393 and try again.
It's unsecured and should make rumrunner successful.
Thanks. It's S-OFF Now

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?

Yes
yes and Yes
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 .
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/firmware-downloads/
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
