Hey
Recently, my HOX has recieved the OTA update for JB.
So, I installed the small update, downloaded JB, and it asked me whether I want to install it now or later.
Now, when I click on the "Install" botton, it reboots my phone right into a recovery menu. So, first, I used the "select zip from sdcard", and found the update in "downloads". However, it at first refused to verfy the update. I found out, after some tries, that verification can be toggled off.
However, it still doesn't update to JB, and when I cick that zip it says there was an error, showing some code which looks like a CID check.
Now, my CID is HTC__ 001, my rom is stock and my bootloader is unlocked. Rooted, as well.
Any advice? Should I maby relock my phone, or try restoring to factory defaults?
Which recovery ? Stock or CWM ?
It needs stock recovery for JB update.

No, that's incorrect.
You need to install stock recovery, and you also need stock ROM.
The ROM, as I've said, is stock.
As for the recovery... why would it not be stock? I mean, I thought it's quite (extremely) complicated to modify the core Linux-based elements of the phone, which is where the recovery is (in the boot menu)
What are you talking about ??? If you flashed a custom recovery like twrp or clockworkmod recovery than you have to flash back the stock recovery ! The phone needs to be 100% stock....root is no problem you lose it after the update, and the bootloader can stay unlocked !
You need
Stock rom
Stock boot.img (kernel)
Stock recovery
Then you can update !

"select zip from sdcard" is not available on stock recovery.
So I guess it's not stock because you flashed a non stock recovery to root your device.

Hey guys,
Apologies if this has already been covered before; I've just tried flashing a stock recovery back onto my One (after using TWRP) to apply an OTA update but when I boot into recovery it comes up with an image of the phone and a red exclamation mark/triangle and doesn't appear to go into recovery at all - this also happens when I try applying the OTA update after downloading it.
What am I doing wrong here? I've booted the phone into fastboot, run fastboot flash recovery [recovery image name] from the command prompt and everything appears to work but there's just no recovery.
Software version is 1.12.710.17, had downloaded the appropriate recovery image.
I've also had Xposed installed, but have tried disabling it as well which doesn't seem to help.
EDIT: Have tried flashing via fastboot again, then accessing recovery through hboot and it comes up with "no image or wrong image" (this is while entering hboot menu, not into recovery). Phone is rooted and has S-OFF, I don't understand why it isn't saving the recovery image?
DOUBLE EDIT: I can flash custom recoveries via fastboot fine, although I still get the "no image or wrong image" message when entering the hboot menu (although I can actually get to recovery). Much confusion, such frustration. Wow.

Where did you get the recovery image from? did you extract it from the OTA?

Negative, I got the recovery image from this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Just extract it from your OTA zip file. it will be in the firmware.zip file. You'll have to use 7zip or something to extract it.

Thanks for the advice, gave it a try but I'm still stuck at square one it seems. I try and boot to recovery after flashing and it comes up with the image of the phone with the red exclamation mark/triangle still.

Thank you sir! I'd been holding power which was rebooting the phone.
That's at least got me into recovery, but now when I try and apply the OTA file via recovery it comes up with "/system/lib/modules/a8293.ko" has unexpected contents. Installation aborted.
It's a never-ending battle! Hahah.
Actually I am using a custom kernel as well, could that be the problem?

Figured as much. I can't seem to find a standard kernel anywhere, looks like I may have to revert back to a stock image and start again.

Got the update applied finally, managed to find a backup I'd made before flashing the custom kernel. Flashed back to stock recovery, applied the OTA and all good!

Sorry Im a bit of a Noob but I'm trying to get the new OTA update.
I rooted with hasoon's toolkit, Ive changed nothing on my phone except for installing some root only apps from the playstore.
My current firmware is 1.12.502.18
How do I go about getting my OTA update? I cant seem to find a link that explains this clearly.
Thank you for your time.

Hey @exad it seems I've run into the same problem as BJ van Beethoven... but I don't have a stock Kernel.. I noticed you're on Telus (so am I) you wouldn't happen to have a stock kernel from the last update would you? or could I use the one from the OTA I just downloaded? I made a copy and can unzip it and try to flash it.. I'm currently on 1.55.661.4 firmware.
thanks!!!!!

If you are on stock ROM, you just need to flash stock recovery as OTA doesn't work with custom recovery (TWRP).
If you know your CID head over to stock backups thread and flash the stock recovery for your CID and you should be good to go.

Time to search, read up and learn.
If you had done this is the first place, you would know that OTAs are not compatible with custom recovery.
Also, there are quite a few threads on how to install stock recovery.
May I ask how you installed a custom recovery. Stock is done the same way thus you should know how it works ...
I unlocked my bootloader, installed custom recovery and rooted my phone so that I can install custom ROMS.
However, when I install a custom rom phone does not boot. It will get stuck on the HTC logo screen. I tried Android Revolution, InsertCoin and SkyDragon roms with same result.
I also tried to flash boot.img via fastboot with no joy.
I have S-ON (I tried to turn S-off but that attempt failed as well)
Can somebody please help me before I bust this phone up?

I know this definitely happens with Android Revolution, but if you leave it alone for long enough, it will boot. I am running SkyDragon now, and it seems to work just fine. Even though I am S-Off'd, it should still work for you since you have an unlocked bootloader. Can you post a screenshot of your phone in bootloader mode?
It might be because of your firmware. Do you happen to be on Verizon?

You are right. I just found out that I was not waiting long enough for it to boot. However, everytime I restart the phone it takes almost 10 minutes for phone to boot but I shut it down and start, it would start.
Now, I dont cannot get root on SkyDragon. SuperSU says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I would hit continue and hit "normal". I get "Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again" error message....Ugh this has been very frustrating...

I had the EXACT same thing happen. How I resolved the SuperSU problem: flash the SuperSU 1.94 zip in recovery. How I solved the slow as hell boot problem: go to Settings > Power and disable Fast Boot. Good luck!

Excellent! Flashing the SuperSU has resolved the root issue. Thank you!!
But the slow boot is still there even though I unchecked fast boot.

I had the same problem.. what fixed it for me was getting on my stock ROM and doing HTC's OTA update to 4.4.3. This updates your firmware and make it compatible with newer firmware ROMs (such as Android Revolution) To do the OTa if you don't know how I recommend restoring a stock nandroid , flash the stock recovery and you should be ggod to go.

I checked to see if there is an OTA update before I flashed a custom ROM and there was none. Can I just flash a stock rom with an updated firmware? If so where can I find the latest firmware?
So, I got notification saying the new update is ready, I downloaded it clicked OK, rebooted the phone and said entering the recovery but it went directly to TWRP recovery ( previously I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my system and installed custom recovery)
So my question is how do I install this latest update ?

Not wanting to hijack the OP, but I'm trying to install update version 3.28.401.6 on an unlocked UK M8 and I'm in the exact same boat. I heard that the stock recovery for the M8 is different for different providers, so not sure now feasible it is to restore stock recovery to receive the OTA, then go back to TWRP. Is there a way to manually install the update using TWRP?

So you title the thread with your own solution as well. "Cannot install update due to recovery change..." How do I install this update? "
Obviously it would mean you have to have stock recovery, not twrp.
Flash a stock recovery, reboot, install OTA update. Custom recovery can then be reflashed after the update

Is there any way to install the eye update from twrp itself ?
This is an update file right, like zip where we can flash from twrp ?
The thing is I cannot find the stock recovery for my model 2.23.118.3

If flashing stock recovery is too much of a hassle perhaps you shouldn't have started flashing in the first place, yes?
You won't be able to do OTA over TWRP, even the TWRP developers said as much.
Official Updates and TWRP
Excerpt: Installing official updates from your manufacturer or carrier is not supported by TWRP.
Period.
As for the stock recovery you need. Just copy the OTA.zip file to your PC and extract the recovery.img file within the firmware.zip file.

Yes, the main reason I unlocked my bootloader ..... was just for HK mod but then only I realized that my phone is S-ON and S-OFF is only possible using sunshine.
Ok now I have the recovery.img file for my phone.
What should I do with it ?
Using hassoon2000's toolkit select 'your own recovery' and flash that's it ?
And one more question my CIDnum is t-mob009
Does that mean my mobile is tmobile based ?
In my place we have only two carriers and we don't have tmobile,sprint or verizon here.
EDIT : @mroshaw I hope you got your answer from the post #6
EDIT 2 : @BerndM14 just flashed the stock recovery and updated my phone and happy with it
Thanks for helping me mate
Good Luck
Awesome, good stuff. This will definitely help me out too.
Can I ask one quick follow up - where on the phone is OTA.zip stored? I have Root Explorer so just a matter of knowing where to look.

Hi guys i have a rooted himaulatt m9 with twrp on 6.0 stock rom with elementalX kernel and now it is asking for a system update should i download and install it or not i have made a nandroid backup before rooting my phone btw, what should i do? Thanks
Even if you download the update, it will fail to install because you are not fully stock. You need to flash the stock boot image, the stock recovery, and an untouched system_image, all three corresponding to the firmware currently on your device. Then the update will install. If you don't have those files, then you need to find an RUU for your device.

By "stock recovery" I mean the recovery that came with the version of Android you have on your device (before you replaced it with TWRP) so, yes, you need to replace TWRP with the stock recovery.

You need to get a hold of a stock recovery backup corresponding to the Android version you are trying to restore. Otherwise, you'll need to find an RUU.
