You'll need to update to ICS so that you can unlock your boot loader and flash CWM.

First, download the file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611696 and place it on your external SD card. After this, boot into recovery and it will update. Make sure the file is named "update.zip" ("update" being the name, and "zip" being the file extension).

When you have that installed, then do as follows:
- Root your device
- Unlock the bootloader
- Flash a custom recovery - Either CWM or TWRP (it's just user preference)
See here for a more detailed approach: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711125.

Are you rooted? Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have a custom recovery installed?

Besides all that, those errors look like no external SD is inserted, isnt formatted or is corrupt.
Read the iconia guide in my sig for how to proceed now that you have ics installed.

Make sure you rename/delete the "install_recovery.sh" file located in /etc. After this, do:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery

I modified a TWRP installer with this CWM. Replaced TWRP with CWM on my E986 and it works. Updated adb.exe to work with 4.4.
To install just extract the zip contents and run the batch file.

No, you can't flash those files, but if you want to update CWM, why don't you install Philz recovery for the e980, it is great.

I have a e986 german with Stock 20a EU 4.4.2
If I installed cwm it gives me a boot loop into recovery. So I must install my rom via kdz tool and so I have no recovery yet. I found no way to flash a working recovery and unlock bootloader for my phone.
Can I flash this under e986eu20a?

I have send you a PM.
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

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.

I have tried googling it but no luck.
Only way for me to root is to unlock bootloader it seems.

I unlocked the bootloader via flashtool. I still have bravia engine/camera/etc.

here are the steps I did..I will do my best to provide anything I can.
First thing; unlock the bootloader. I unlocked it via flashtool. i still have bravia engine/clear audio, so that's intact. Put the SUPERSU 2.40 on your SD Card along with the dual recovery flash file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793
After that I used fastboot to install the CWM recovery( fastboot.exe flash recovery boot.img), and rebooted.
I rebooted into CWM and flashed the dual recovery. follow the instructions to boot into TWRP(I like this recovery.)and flash SUPERSU 2.40. Wipe cache/dalvik/system. If you get a bootloop, reboot into recovery and flash the pre rooted stock firmware from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-d5303-4-4-3-pre-rooted-stock-t2962677. then reboot.
another fun fact? I also successfully backed up the TA Partition. woo!
What file did you flash at first? Is it T2U-SS_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-207_v01.img ?
It didn't work for me, I could not reboot into CWM or whatever custom recovery it contains.
Thank you!

Sure.
BEFORE ANYTHING; Put supersu 2.40 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793 on your SD Card!!
I used flashtool(http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php)to unlock the bootloader first. I still had my TA Keys so it should be fine.
after unlocking the bootloader, reboot into fastboot mode(I think it's while the phone boots up, you hold power+up vol). and use this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685932 to boot into CWM recovery.
Once you're in CWM, Install the dual recovery and reboot phone. Hold down vol when the green LED turns on, you will reboot into TWRP. Touch controls won't work but if you press the power button and press it again, touch works.
Install SuperSU 2.40 and you should be okay..
That kernel works on 4.4.2? in the CWM thread right in the first post it says requirements 4.3. Need more details before I move forward with this.
I am on a US D5316 running 4.4.2 , build 19.1.A.0.486.

Unlocked bootloder is required. After you need to flash a custom kernel with recovery, boot into recovery, select install zip and choose zip with ArchiDroid.

You can unlock bootloader via Flashtool or via fastboot. You can find tutorial for it on Xperia M General Forum.
