I recently tried to fix the "apparent" battery issue on my HTC ONE X by unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone, then copying the app file to the correct location. Everything fine.
When the next OTA came along, 1.29.401.7, the OTA install didn't work, but I could do it with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.2.4
Now I am trying to install the 1.29.401.11 update, using clockworkMod Recovery again, and I get the error message:
Finding Update Package...
Opening Update Package...
Verifying Update Package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any suggestions? Am I missing something? Should I try and look for an original 1.29.401.11 ROM ?
There are lots of things you can do to resolve this but basically you need the stock recovery image (recovery.img) for the ROM/RUU version you are wanting to update from.
E.g. If you are on 1.28.xx and you want to upgrade to 1.29.xx then it is best to flash back the recovery.img from 1.28.xx.
They are all posted around and about here. Just open the zip using 7Zip and grag the recovery.img out and flash it in fastboot. Then your OTA update will succeed. You don't need to relock the device to update.

Spot on. Just to add, the power management apk location and permissions thing turned out to be erroneous, HTC removed the file completely in the end, so don't bother doing it again.
I used to get that on my nexus, it was caused by trying to flash the wrong operator/regional ROM to my deivce.
I was UK Voda trying to flash EU Voda onto it.
See here
i too have the same issue with louisodwyer!! im totally new so can someone please help. im currently on 1.28.401.9
many thanks
Does anyone have the 1.29.xx .img file to post here? Mine was showing available for update, and has now vanished completely....
Thanks!

Hi,
I have an unbranded and rooted HTC Desire.
The latest OTA update downloaded but didnt install (probably because my phone is rooted). Therefore, I manually downloaded the latest OTA update (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2-2.10.405.2_R_P_release8gn61bgo3rswcw) before attempting to install.
When I restart the phone (after taking the battery out), the white HTC splash screen appears but then restarts at that point again and again and again.
When I try to go into bootloader recovery, and attempt to restore a previously saved ROM from my SDcard, the phone goes to a white HTC splash screen before showing the red triangle.
I have pressed the 'volume +' and 'power' buttons that led me to the "Android system recovery <3e>' screen (it has blue writing). I then attempted the 'Apply sdcard: update.zip' but then it says (in yellow writing) in the last three lines:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I am now stuck!! I screwed up and have spent hours trying to look for a solution all over the web.
Please can anyone help me?
Try to install a older rom orginal if you can worked for me i then installed the newer one and then rooted it
Did you rename the OTA file to update.zip? If not, that's the first thing to do
Although even flashing the OTA manually if you're rooted is still likely to **** your phone up

Ok, how can I go about renaming the OTA file to update.zip?
I'm assuming I will have to do this via DOS on my computer??

If you can not rename a file in windows or linux...don't even try rooting in the first place

That is quite a fail I'm afraid...
Seriously you should've never rooted when you have no idea what you're doing sorry.
The reason you can't boot is that the update is made for original non modified HTC roms. You should instead have downloaded an updated rooted stock rom from those forums.
The reason you now get those errors is that the update probably have been overwriting you rooted recovery with a stock one. The reason you could launch clockwork mod or install a Rom before was that your stock recovery had been modified to accept test keys, which you new one does not.
So now you can only install software signed by HTC. In order to recover you should flash a stock ruu and you should have a clean and fully working system
Edit: and it is no red triangle of death... It's simply the stock recovery screen.
Hi!
I did the same stupid thing (downloaded and installed the update from the phone prompt) and now I always come to the stock recovery screen (or red triangle of death).
I tried various things:
- change the name of the update to "update.zip" = "signature verification failed"
- get the stock rom, name it "PB99IMG.zip" and put it on the sdcard = doesn't get recognized on the boot screen "Loading...[PB99IMG.zip] No image!"
- get the stock rom, name it "update.zip" and try to install it on the stock recovery screen = "signature verification failed"
and nothing worked.
I'm really desperate for help, couldn't find any way to install a rom a recover my old one.
Does anyone have any advice? I'm grateful for anything!
Thanks in advance!
Did you call it PB99IMG.zip.zip? Also, is it the file extracted from the RUU?
You can't just rename an RUU file PB99IMG.zip and xpect it to wwork as it's not a ZIP file...

No, it is a zip.
Full name was "PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip" from here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
I'm a web developer, so I should know the difference between an exe and a zip file

Well then, you must be aware that Windows by default hides the extension of known files. So if the filename is displayed as PB99IMG.zip, it may in fact be PB99IMG.zip.zip, wherein the .zip part is hidden. Try renaming it as just PB99IMG. If the associated icon changes, name it back. If not, load this file once again to the root of card. Before doing that, format it as FAT32 once again.
I'd also suggest not using such an old file, I uploaded the 2.29.405.2 PB99IMG file a while back to shipped-roms so I suggest using that

Thanks, that was it. Stupid mistake.
But now after the installing process I get an error "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". So I guess I need the version of the rom I had installed, do I?
I already checked shipped-roms, but I couldn't find an older version of the zip. Or is there a way to install it with the exe, even though I can't turn on my phone properly?

No, just the opposite!
You need a newer one. Use the one Eddy suggested.
Worked like a charm!
Thanks a lot!
Glad it worked. You could've got the 2.29.405.5 one if you didn't wanna bother about the OTA update which will no doubt flag up at some point

Always do ample research before doing this.
I think the problem is there as you have not updated your hboot to hboot 1.36.
Here is a great tool that will help you upgrade your hboot and install update. Read the post CAREFULLY and follow the instruction as they are given.

Hey guys,
I have been lurking around the forums for sometime now and I could not find the solution to my problem so I hope someone will be able to help me.
My HTC One X (cid : HTC__203) was rooted and I tried a few ROMS before deciding to sell it before getting the upcoming HTC One.
I used the RUU to flash the original ROM I bought the phone with. I've found the file using this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
Current phone version is :
Now the phone issue is that Android updates cannot be installed. OTA is working, updates are detected and downloaded :
If I just say Intall now, the phone restarts with CWM (v5.8.4.0) and says it cannot mount the SD card. So I just go to Install zip from sdcard and open the file from the download folder. Then it goes :
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
So I toggle off both signature verification and get a new error about script asserts :
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update ...
assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" .... (same pattern to 9 then comes some CID numbers where my phone one is listed)
, "HTC__001" ............... , "HTC__203" , .... , "HTC__016") == "t"
E: Error in /sdcard/Download/OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_and_blablabla.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
From there I don't know what to do. I tried to download and install the last RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed
But it fails as well :
My knowledge of phone tweaking does not go further and I don't know what to do to update my phone and make sure next updates will work.
Thanks for reading and for your help.
Re: HTC One X cannot update after getting back to Stock ROM
You cant update via a custom recovery !
Download this file
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...-r-radio-5120416229-release-302015-signedexe/
Read carefully :
Put the phone in the bootloader and relock it
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in the bootloader and then click the ruu with the right mouse button and select :
"Run as administrator"
This will bring it back to stock.
What is the outcome of
Fastboot getvar version-main
Edit : i cant see the pictures very well, they are small and get blurry when i zoom them

Ok well that helps a lot. I'll try and install the stock recovery. So from what I understand, every time I'll want to install OTA updates, I'll just have to switch back to stock recovery, install the update and then reinstall CWM if I need it ?
Thanks for the info
Re: HTC One X cannot update after getting back to Stock ROM
Yeah you need stock rom, kernel and recovery to be able to perform an official htc ota

Re: HTC One X cannot update after getting back to Stock ROM
Uh ....thanks .....I guess
Good it worked mate.
CASE CLOSED !
I have an Unlocked HTC One M8
it is the malaysian version so reads "HTC One_M8x" occasionally
CID is HTC_621
i am on software # 3.28.709.6
i am having difficulties restoring to stock, all RUU's from htc or any third party fail
due to either incorrect model id, or signing failure. As well as using any OTA's.
I went from stock in this order.
>Unlocked Bootloader from htc-dev
>Installed TWRP
>Installed SuperSU
> Backed up my rom
-did this under the assumption root is okay with OTA's
> Then i attempted to S-Off, turns out the malaysian version is not supported by
Sunshine S-off yet.
>Following all of this i found out Lollipop was released for my phone.
>I proceeded to revert my phone to the backup in TWRP
>Relocked my bootloader.
>Then i installed a stock recovery, i am not at a point where i recieve and download the OTA but am
uunable to install it, the process begins and then red triangles.
I have tried manually doing the OTA's via ADB
i have tried both a 4.4.4 kkitkat RUU for unlocked HTC M8, and the one for 5.0 lollipop HTC M8
neither pass and say model id is incorrect
If anyone has had these issues and knows a way to fix it, or has the same phone as me
and has links or files i would greatly appreciate it, till then i guess im stuck with 4.4.4.
any questions just ask! And thankyou ahead of time!
Why lock bootloader? More importantly, why lock bootloader before you even flashed back the recovery?
There are no RUU's(As far as I know) for Asian Models, only for WWE International(Not widely/freely available though) and definitely only for US Variants(Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, Developer Edition & Verizon). Of course the RUU's won't work on your device, you'd need to change the MID of the device or SuperCID(Need S-OFF for both).
Did your stock recovery flash back? Boot into recovery and make sure you have stock recovery flashed back. No need to lock bootloader, only time you need to do that is when you manually flash firmware or for the RUU(Both instances ONLY IF you are S-ON).
If you don't have stock recovery, unlock again and flash stock recovery.

Looks like you have developer edition on there, BrightStar US is Developer Edition. So yes, make sure you have stock HTC TW ROM/Recovery on there and try again.

i have a similar issue here i am s-on at 4.4.3 and i recieve the OTA notification update for 4.4.4 and when i install it stops with the red triangle i believe that it is bright star too .. but i dont know what exactly u r talking about ..what should i do ? Thanks in advance
As you can see in this forum - many are having problem installing the latest lollipop OTA. What I did -
1 . Unlocked the boot loader
2. Installed custom recovery
3. rooted the phone
4. flashed back the stock recovery so I can install the OTA from HTC.
Nothing more nothing less. Now I am not able to install latest OTA - Phone downloads the OTA, boot in to recovery, starts installing the OTA and than it fails and recovery shows a deadly RED TRIANGLE.
I did thorough research across this forums to fix the issue and I see many people have similar issue.
Available OPTIONS - SINCE my phone is S-OFF so they are limited
1. Flashing the firmware - but coudln't find a firmware which matched my phone's cid and mid
2. RUU - Not sure if I can install it while being S-ON and if yes than which one should match my phone
3. I have lollipop OTA file downloaded and have firmware file inside it. some one suggested get the recovery from firmware zip and flash it. How can I get recovery from firmware zip, file doesnt even get unzipped.
I am currently on -
Software version - 3.29.166.9
cid: VODAP110
mid: 0P6B10000
Any help/suggesstions would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance
1. Use 7-zip to extract out recovery.img
2. When there is error, press and hold volume up and tap once power button to read the error log.
Mostly the errors are related to modified system files or wrong recovery.img

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Was able to see error message now. It seems I've wrong recovery. I couldn't find exact match so I installed the near match but it did not seem to work.
I had 3.29.166.9 and I installed 3.29.161.5 from forums. Do you know which recovery should work with 3.29.161.9. Thanks for your help.
