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!
Okay, so a few days ago, i updated my htc one v to version 1.56.720.2 from 1.56.720.1...
And today i noticed that there was another update to version 2.09 something ready...
I have a stock rom (bootloader unlocked, routed and cwm installed) so i followed one of the guides to protect my root and flash stock recovery version 1.56.720.1 as it was the only recovery available for indian version using hasoons all in one kit.
All went fine bit when i tried to install 2.09, the phone re boots shows a progress bar and throws up a error halfway.. a red triangle shows up ... After which the only thing i can do is to restart..
Hote do i update???
Is it because i flashed recovery of older version??

Don't really think that from .1 to .2 the recovery changed. Did you relocked your bootloader?

If you have the stock recovery, the red triangle is normal.
If you have RUU of the 2.09 try to use that from hboot menu. Also if you have busybox installed delete it, and even superSU, so go to supersu -> settings full unroot (it was a problem with my ota update to 2.08)
But if the phone is relocked, you don't have the su privileges, so it doesn't matter that much. Also, if you unlock your bootloader again, it will do a factory reset anyways. So I think the best is to do a full unroot of the phone, try the OTA update, if it does not installs do a RUU update, then unlock BL and root, it will be a clean install, and you can do everything from the start.
But there are backup utilitys at market for sms, contacts, softwares (some of them require root tough). Google is your friend

If you run the ruu, you can extract the cid that which phones is it. If you know the cid of your device and the ruu has that cid, you're set.
That error looks like a failed update, but I don't think that it could be a problem at an ota update, but who knows? Try to download tunein.
If you flash back the 1.56 ruu, you will also have a blank phone, but deffinetly stock, and thus perfectly ready for the ota update. It is safer in a way, but if the cids match the 2.09 ruu will be the same Also the RUU can say, that the phone is capable of the RUU you try to install, so it can't really do harm. The choice is yours. (RUU hard resets your phone regardless of the version)
Yea I flashed using ruu.. and updated twice to get to 2.09..
Hell lots work! But atleast my mind is soothed now
Anyway the previous installation was getting bloated!

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.
