I have been trying to update my phone but everytime I try the OTA it says installation failed. I ignored it for a few months now bc I didn't want to lose root after updating. How can I install the OTA? I am on MetroPCS (BE88CF)
I tried disabling AdAway thought it may be blocking the servers but that didn't work.

Pulled this from the OnePlus website
"Ok, looks like the download has failed/corrupted. Open the File Manager app > go to settings in the FM app and enable "Show Hidden Files" > then go to the device storage and look for a folder called ".OTA" - delete it and its contents. Then reboot your phone and try again."
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem. Not even unrooting fixes it. There is no .OTA folder on my phone either.

Flash stock boot.img for your model and firmware. Probably gonna need the original recovery image too if you've got anything besides stock.
Relock bootloader using fastboot.
As long as there's nothing that can be checked back as invalid, you should be able to update your phone proper.

I tried reflashing stock recovery and boot images, but it didn't work. Relocking the bootloader shouldn't be necessary, but if it is I'll just go without updating. I don't feel like having to wipe out my phone to unlock the bootloader again every time there is an update.

Sadly it's a boatload of effort to get the update. Either you go back to 100% stock, or live with it.
I said screw it and just moved everything to my memory card before using the msm reset app

I managed to get the last update installed by reinstalling 11.0.2 through the Oxygen Updater, then 11.0.3 installed fine. I was going to try to repeat this method with 11.0.3 to get to 11.0.4, but Oxygen Updater no longer allows me to download 11.0.3. I tried to sideload it and do a local update, but the phone won't find it. I can't even install it through fastboot commands because the OTA is incremental and the payload dumper won't work on it.
I was able to update by doing what you said and relocking the bootloader after reflashing stock and boot images. Relocking bricked the phone so I had to use the unbrick tool. Definitely a pain to have to do this every time, Then I ran into problems restoring my TWRP backup that I had to figure out lol. I'll probably just update every two or three updates from now on. Plus all this reflashing opens up more opportunities for RCS features to stop working on Google Messages because they are so finicky. Then my texts act up for 3-10 days until RCS starts working again. Luckily they reconnected right away this time.
Thanks for the help.

Hi all,
I just purchased a HTC Rezound (used). Clean ESN, I have it activated and working fine. It is running the most recent official OTA build from Verizon (last January I believe).
Strangely, I am not able to perform a factory reset on the device to get it back to stock from the previous user. I have tried via the settings menu, and I have tried via the hard reset (power btn + Vol down), neither work. The device just reboots as usual.
I see at the top of the device (when rebooting using hard reset keys) it says it is unlocked, and S-ON. Go easy on me as I am still trying to learn what I will need to do to eventually put ROM's on this device - but anyone have any clues why I can't perform a simply hard reset and succeed? Thanks!
Dunno what the exact state of the kernel, ROM, etc. is since it is unlocked, perhaps something about that phone's configuration causes it to fail. Try running a RUU just to take all the guesswork out of what the previous owner did to that thing, here is the GB OTA thanks to con247: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22045045
Thank you - does this information give any clues?
Here's what I see:

that doesnt really help but you should definitely run the RUU it will reset everything

Hi, You will want to read all the great info here on xda about HTC Lock and Unlock. Your goal is to use adb and flash to re-lock it. After it's relocked,
you can run an exe called RUU when it's connected to a computer. I'd recommend using the 2.01.605.11. It will fix all woes, including your ability to
do a reset on it. It's their best Gingerbread version, and compatible with your system.
After you do the RUU, you will be ready for the new ICS coming out SOOOON.
Yeah, that is on the same build as OTA, may be a custom ROM still, Factory Reset should wipe all RAM data if it is indeed on a stock ROM fine, hmm. Check Settings > Power and make sure Fast Boot is deselected, that may interfere with the reboot process while it resets. Other than checking the recovery in that boot menu you posted for a custom recovery with options there to wipe and reset, try a RUU still is all I got, haha.

that would be an option but it would be easier if he reset with an RUU and then learned everything else about modding and flashing himself rather than have it installed for him
Oh yeah, RUU is definitely easier and learning all the info here in XDA is recommended (should be mandatory for all modding and modded phone owners.) But checking those things are quick solutions to try while waiting for a quarter to a half a gig of RUU data to download lol. I have limited connection speeds and always think laterally while troubleshooting.

Yes you most certainly do. He has s-on so he has to relock.
yep he needs to relock and run ruu since he is s-on
Just to follow up -thank you everyone for helping me get started and solve the problem.
I re-locked and applied the suggested RUU in this thread - all is good now!
THanks!

Is your phone modded? Does it have a customer recovery? In order for a device to install a completely stock factory ota update. Your device needs to beat a factory state

As the above guy says , you can't install update with a custom recovery . Just change your recovery mode to factory version and try to install it .
It was worked for me for a months before

Clearly the picture shows that it is the stock recovery, so I don't understand the last couple of comments about that...
OP: What update were you on? Did you download the system update from the phone? The first poster was right about changes made because changing some things in the system will create this problem on some phones. I would see if there is an RUU from HTC to update via the PC or via SD card (they don't sell that model here so not entirely sure which way they use for that model).

Sounds like a corrupted or incomplete download then. Without knowing which version and/or region the phone is from, then no one can be of much further help. It's rare that this happens on phones that have never been modified, but it's not the first time. Typically it is resolved by just running the RUU, but it's quite possible there isn't one yet for that device and update. If you do not know the specifics of the phone, then it is best to set up fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 and boot to the bootloader and while connected in Fastboot mode to run the command from a Command Prompt: fastboot getvar all and post the results (leave out the IMEI and serial numbers).
This MIGHT be what you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/general/updates-htc-desire-816wdual-t2850329 - IF it is the correct region for where your phone was originally sold.
General outline for manual OTA install:
Make sure to have the correct CID and MID on your phone. (see: fastboot getvar all output for this info)
Make sure to have the correct Stock ROM version software on your phone.
Make sure to have the stock Recovery installed. (you already have this so skip)
Copy OTA file to SDCARD
Boot to Stock recovery and once at the triangle, press volume up + power to get the blue recovery menu. Then select ‘install from internal memory’ (or something like that) and find the file.
Update should install and your firmware and software should both match the version of the OTA Update.
I have NO idea if the xda link for the OTA is the correct one for your phone, so don't blame me if you don't research to see if it is the one you need and you mess up your phone. Good luck.
So i read a bunch of threads and people said the new update was fine and wouldnt try to remove root. So i decided to give it a go and see if that was true. Well when it rebooted it keeps rebooting into twrp no matter what i do. Im not good with linux commands but how do i fix this? Also i only have one file to be modified and thats for the dual window mod so i could dual window all apps. Is this part of the problem?
I found a thread that told me some command lines to restart the phone without needing to wipe but how do i get rid of this ota update?

While you can (sometimes) install an OTA while your phone is rooted, you should never try to install one when it is fully unlocked (i.e. - custom recovery installed). You edit seems to indicate you fixed it, but if you're still having issues I know there are steps to get out of the bootloop you're experiencing, I just don't have off hand where they're at. Bottom line, if you're root AND unlocked (running twrp), you should never take an OTA as there's no reason for it. You can install one of the fine stock-based roms that have been updated to the latest VZW software and have no risk in doing so. Just for future reference

Follow this command lines and that will or should reboot your phone to before you tried to install the newest update. The same thing happened to me with the last update. Those commands came in handy.

Pays to have a copy of LG Flashtool and the stock firmware
See the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2907508
If you have a USB otg cable, you can put the flash...zip file linked in the post on a flash drive, then tell twrp to install that to clear the ota.
Alternately, twrp has a small terminal emulator. Look at the part of the post with the commands listed. Only input the su and two dd command lines, in twrp.
After either of the above, tell twrp to reboot to system.
Once you can successfully get back to your normal system, either freeze "System updates...." or use a file manager to rename the two LGDMSClient files found in /system/app, then reboot your phone one more time.

Without the bootloader unlock, I dont think there is a way. Each day looks like less and less of this phone getting custom support. Going to use it for couple years and bounce to a new phone.
Well i can get the phone into EDL mode or download mode. And fastbootd just domt kno what commands and domt have a firehose but apparently you can flash without firehose im edl not sure how tho

So I tried installing a custom ROM on my Realme 6 a while ago and it didn't work out so I had to flash my phone with the stock ROM, after doing so, after every restart I get a boot message:
Orange State: Your device has been unlocked and can’t be trusted…Your device will boot in 5 seconds
The phone still boots alright but I cannot use google pay or specific services as it says that the phone cant be trusted.
Does anyone know of this and how to fix it? quite a frustration not being able to use my phone for paying anymore.
edit: i read that relocking the phone fixes it but i also read that you may hardbrick your phone. kinda lost.

You unlocked the bootloader, you need to re-lock the bootloader, that is what the "device can't be trusted" message means.
Find a guide on the internet or a thread here that discusses unlocking/locking the bootloader on your specific model number, if other people with your exact model have re-locked their bootloader without bricking their device, follow the same instructions/steps exactly the way they did and you shouldn't have to worry about bricking the device if you carefully follow instructions to the letter.
If you already searched and found the solution, why did you come here to ask? It isn't like their is an alternative solution that can be found here. Lock your bootloader, that's it.
I found guides but wanted to make sure, anyway, I typed reboot bootloader command, and my phone restarts and is stuck with a message
