Hi guys, so I don't know how to proceed with this update... I'm a VM user and my One V has it's bootloader unlocked, is running TWRP2 recovery, and has a rooted stock rom... I tried installing the update but my phone just reboots into recovery.
You need stock recovery to do it.

Similar problem - the phone reboots into recovery (which is ok because I need to install the new update), but as I select the OTA update to install,
I get an error message. Is it just because OTA does not work with these custom ROMs?
Stuck here. Can anyone help?

OTA needs untouched stock ROM and stock recovery.

Hey guys,
I received this offiial OTA push for 4.3 update on the 27th July (GMT +8). but when i try to install it on the recovery screen, it says update failed and restarts the phone. But ever since, I couldn't get the OTA push anymore. Not even from System Updates in the settings menu.
Anyone having this problem as well? or anyone know any walkaround for this?
Thanks!
P/S I've flashed my phone with the official rom that gets OTA from google instead of Samsung. And I'm currently on 4.2.2 with fancy kernel R35

If i'm not wrong, if you've a custom recovery OTA update fails, happened to me with my Nexus S back a year or two, i just grabbed the official image from google and flashed it VIA ADB.
PS: i can be wrong you know.

True, I've experienced this before, I would recommend go with Official Factory image if not sure your device is running completely stock before apply OTA...
First of all your using a custom recovery an second your using a custom kernel, so its always going to fail a ota install, my suggestion just flash a ota flashable twrp or cwm zip.

wrong. a custom recovery does not hinder the OTA, its the custom kernel that is causing the update to fail (and any other modifications you do to /system outside of root)
and if even if he tried to flash a OTA with cwm/twrp, it would still fail because of the kernel. the OTA does an assert check on system files before installing.

So in order for me to update to 4.3, I'd have to reflash the stock kernel then update with the OTA?

If that is the only thing you have changed from stock, yes. When it errors out in recovery, it should tell you the problem(s).

alright. Will try to revert to stock kernel and try the official OTA. Will revert back here after i've attempted it. Thanks a bunch you all
I just found a easier way to do things.
Just flash this 4.3 stock ROM over my current 4.2 rom. Works like a charm and hassle free.
Hey guys, I was the person that accidentally formatted my HTC one and eventually flashed a stock rooted rom of 4.2.2, but now with a new update for 4.3 I am unable to update because TWRP recovery says the update is untrusted and aborts the operation, has anyone else had that problem/come up with a solution?
Flash the stock recovery, the OTA will not install with a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.

Okay, thank you very much.
Hi,
So I have a GSM HTC One M8 that is rooted and running a custom rom and recovery.
Due to the 4.4.3 update, I need to update my firmware. From what I have read in the forums, I first had to go back to the stock rom and recovery. Which I did. The nandroid back up process went fine, but the stock recovery wouldn't load up for me. And also, the stock rom is already at the latest 4.4.3!
When I tried to go to settings and check for updates, it says that I already have the latest version installed....
Few questions.
1. Do I need a stock recovery to be able to get the OTA update?
2. Is this the only way to update my firmware?
BTW, my device is S-ON and Unlocked.
my work requires encryption. i was on slimkatv22 at the time and had to encrypt. as encryption kept failing, i went back to stock. way back to stock.
so i'm running
JZO54K.I317UCAMH3 ROM
TEAMWIN Recovery
I317UCUCNE5 Bootloader
with Root and Busybox installed.
everytime i try to update via device update, it downloads, reboots and runs TWRP, I decrypt using password, reboots and the update fails with "Update Interrupted" message.
Is there a way to update ROM and keep encryption?
You can't OTA stock ROMs without stock recovery.

Thanks for your response. I tried updating ROM via ODIN and was not successful. Always got stuck in boot logo after i flashed new ROM.
Is there a stock recovery I should flash over TWRP to try?
Thanks for your help.
I have never used encryption so I can't really help if there are specifics around that. What exactly are you trying to install through Odin? If it's the firmware such as THIS it should overwrite the custom recovery with the stock one. If the stock ROM isn't booting you might have to boot into recovery and factory reset/wipe dalvik cache. This is my first Samsung phone so if nothing helps someone else who'd like to offer their assistance would probably be more knowledgeable.
I was going back to stock, which I guess, was mostly successful. however, I've not been able to install new ROM, namely 4.4.2 I317UCUCNE5. so if I install from your link, that should overwrite custom recovery and allow me to upgrade to 4.4.2 ROM either OTA or via Odin?
Maybe? Using the OTA always tells me there isn't an update (cause I'm on T-Mobile I guess?) and I haven't seen any files to update to Kitkat firmware through Odin

I have the same issue. This is because you have the firmware for other regions. I like taiwan version and I can not find the drain firmware.
