I tried flashing the modified zip, as well as the original, with twrp recovery and both received an error.
The modified zip gave this error -
"Error flashing zip '/sdcard/modified_OTAPkg.zip' Updating partition details..."
The rom I am using is the VZW Stock Rooted deodex, should I be using something different?

The update doesn't work with a deodexed ROM. It also likely doesn't work if you've removed some of Verizon's bloat software on the stock odexed ROM.
@CNexus wants to make an updated flashable zip for rooted users, as well as a fully flashable ROM (if I am reading that right), but needs the right framework files.
Both the modified zips, and the modified recovery won't work for me for some reason.
The modified zip just errors out in TWRP.
If I try the stock recovery method -
Fastboot signed stock recovery
Take the OTA w stock ROM
Errors out
or
Flash Andy's odex stock ROM
Fastboot signed stock recovery
Take OTA
Updates firmware to .10
Fastboot TWRP, flash SU
Restore stock ROM from TWRP backup
Firmware is back to .08 now
Does restoring the stock ROM in TWRP downgrades my firmware to .08 again?
Confused :/

Restoring a backup generally completely wipes out the current software in place. If you flashed the odexed ROM, took the OTA with the stock recovery, then restored a backup of .08, then you lost the .10 update because it was on that installed ROM. You overwrote it.
If you want the update, which was so small and negligible that it's not really even important enough to take, then you have to flash the odexed ROM, take the update with the stock recovery, and stay on that ROM. That's the only way that works presently. No one has released a working odexed or deodexed ROM with the update included, nor is there a working flashable zip that doesn't require you to be on and stay on the stock odexed ROM.

Actually if you took the update while on stock recovery...the actual firmware portion did update and will stay updated regardless of what rom software version you are running. The update was both a software (.10) AND firmware update.

As stated earlier the OTA doesn't play well with deodex ROMs. I figured out how to do this with no issue. Be warned as this will wipe your device. Download the decrypted RUU and boot into RUU mode and follow Zarboz's instuctions for installation. That will get you back to stock. What I did was:
relock bootloader for RUU flash
flash the RUU
OTA (don't set up your phone bc bootloader unlock will wipe it again )
unlocked bootloader again
installed custom recovery via fastboot
made unrooted stock nandroid
flash SuperSU
Also, once you have custom recovery installed you can pull the recovery_signed.img from the decrypted RUU zip and copy/paste it into fastboot directory and flash stock recovery at will for updates for your stock ROM. Tested that method and it works. I did it this way bc I was having the same issues with failed updates so I said screw it and went full on RUU

as the title said, this is a good solution to get back to stock and to OTA update.
1- just download the awesome stock rom that made by mike1986 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970&highlight=htc+one+x+*stock* (remember, the odexed one)
2- upload it to your SD
3- flash it normally as any custom rom using the CWM 5.8.4.0
4- flash the stock recovery which can be found at the same ROM thread (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
5- flash the stock boot.img, can be found at the same ROM thread (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
6- reboot
7- after rebooting, go to settings, about, software update
8- enjoy
just remember that it seems that mike's STOCK ROM already the latest updated one, so the update won't work till HTC officially releases the jelly bean.
dont forget the thanks button below
1.) is it necessary to lock the bootloader to install the OTA?
2.) i have a stock nand backup from my rom 1.29.
yesterday i flashed the boot.img from backup and restored the backup. after start my HOX came up with OTA update. so does i neet the original recovery.img too?
if yes which one can i take?
BR
1- actually i think relocking your bootloader is a must when u r running the original RUU, but here this is a stock rom to be flashed from ur CWM.
installing OTA just requires the stock boot.img and stock recovery, no need to relock the bootloader.
2- this is a fortune for me, wish i could have mine as well, then why not to restore it and get ur original OTA?
if your HOX updated the OTA already then no need to stock recovery, BTW your stock recovery can be found inside your origional RUU which can be found on filefactory server, am sure u've seen it before (just google how to extract RUU, then extract your stock recovery from it)

I'm currently running Viper X ROM on my HOX and i want to go back to stock for the JB OTA. I've made a back up in clockwork mod before flashing custom ROM.
Can i just restore the back up or do i need to do something else before? I'm a bit concerned because i had to flash boot.img from Viper X ROM before flashing the ROM itself.
So, do i need to flash boot.img from my backed up folder (stock ROM backup) or can just restore it? Or do i need to do something else?
In order to be able to update you need to flash the stock boot.img from the backup the backup stock rom and the stock recovery .....

1: Phone will work with stock boot.img and backup
2:root is rom related not recovery related. The stock rom backup should be root free to receive ota's
3:stock recovery is absolutely necessary to receive ota's
4:stock recovery is related to the main version
Fastboot getvar version-main
Check if it is the 1.29 or the 2.17 version. You need the recovery corresponding to that number. Example if you need the 2.17 recovery you can download any stock recovery that starts with that number !

I have the Clockword recovery and CM 10.1 installed on my Sprint Galaxy S3 running on PagePlus
I would like to flash a Touchwiz rom. Which one can I flash using the Clockword Recovery (lightweight)?
Why is MD4 not flashable using Clockwork?
Thanks.
The official update is NOT flashable.using any custom recovery, custom meaning anything other than stock recovery.
And you can flash any Touchwiz rom with CWM recovery, as the MD4 update is not a ROM. OTAs are not full ROMs on their own, they are collection of files that patch the already existing apps to the most recent versions.
If you want to update to MD4, you simply need flash a custom ROM that is based on MD4 (check the thread titles and OPs), or you can flash freezas stock rooted MD4 ROM, not the update.

Thanks. That makes a few things clear.
Could you provide any suggestions on a Touchwiz ROM as close to the stock as possible, but preserves root of-course and does not require me to change my recovery. Thanks a lot. (I see you mentioned freezas and I'll try to find it, but just making sure).

Just to be doubly sure, here is what I do:
1) Download the file "MD4_update_FULL_Odex.zip" - The first link in the thread.
2) Place it on SDCard
3) Flash zip from SDCard using the CWM Based Recovery v5.5.0.4
The post in that thread confused me. And I did not want to mess up anything. I especially don't want to update the radio and firmware etc because I've flashed the phone to PagePlus and I'm not sure what that'll do to it.
Flashing Cyanogen any number of times in the past has had no effect.
Thanks agian.

Yes, that is correct
However, I would suggest to take this opportunity to update your recovery, as you are a full revision behind

Download that recovery zip, boot into recovery, flash the recovery.zip, then go to advanced > reboot recovery, wait a bit for.it to reboot, and then flash the MD4odexed.zip

No problem! Dont be afraid to ask or PM me if any more questions/concerns
I currently have my bootloader unlocked, S-OFF, TWRP recovery, and rooted stock verizon software (Most recent mini-update pushed from VZW around Thanksgiving). My question is whether my current configuration will allow me to accept the new 4.3 OTA update from verizon when it starts to roll out. Is custom recovery going to be a problem? I haven't messed with the stock software, other than adding superuser app. Thanks.
For all the other updates, stock recovery was necessary. I wouldn't see why the 4.3 update would be any different.
I still suggest waiting until the devs take the update and make a flashable Rom from it.

How to flash the Full firmware/radio zip:

Download the appropriate firmware version for your stock based rom:

Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Quote:
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!
The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)
That's it, you're done. You can now reboot and will be running the latest firmware and radios.

You have to have stock recovery to OTA. But can I ask why you'd want to OTA anyway? Devs will have a rooted stock zip in no time after the update is pushed. There is literally no reason to OTA. A lot of ppl, for whatever the reason, think it's important to have the official OTA. If you want stock unrooted backups I get that. I do that sometimes in case of emergencies. Other than that you really don't need to OTA. You can reflash stock recovery easy enough and OTA if you want but I wouldn't. Since you have an unlocked bootloader and all then at most you would have to flash superuser again but the general rule is never OTA.

Well damn andy. Dropped the knowledge bomb on him
Yeah it's not worth OTA'ng, especially given the experience vzw S4 owners had with getting their root exploits and such closed...
Flashable OTA update question
So my One is unlocked and S-off. I manually updated to firmware version .15, however, my ROM is still version .10. (I could not download the version .15 ROM version as it was taking way too long) I keep getting the constant nag about the software update. I want to stay current, but dont want to lose ROOT or worse.
First, how do you use a flashable rom file to update your current rom? I dont what to have to backup and flash a new rom and restore all my settings everytime if I can avoid it. Is there a way to just update like what the OTA does?
Here was my thought. I would make a backup and clean install the current version (.15) of a custom, stock ROM. This would prevent future OTA's correct? Then, I would just update with flash-able files as they are released to keep my ROM up to date and ROOT privileges, etc safe?
Or would it be possible to update my current .10 ROM to .15, disable all OTA's and then flash updates as they are released?

This is my wifes phone, so she is not concerned with having any custom operating ROM. For me however, I have always been a hacker at heart, and I love to run different ROMS on my own phone. For her phone, I just want the ability to run the most recent stock software, with root, so that I can make backups and freeze unnecessary apps to my liking. If a rooted stock zip is just around the corner, then I see no need to take the OTA update as you stated. Thanks for the insight. I just didn't realize that I could get the same result (an updated stock, rooted update) without taking the OTA. I appreciate the help! :good:
What can I do in the meantime to prevent my wife from accidentally accepting the OTA (it just began pushing on her phone)? I know the update wont take without stock recovery installed, but is there an easy way to prevent the repeated download and prompt for install?
EDIT: I found another thread with a flashable file to stop OTA...thanks all
For whatever reason I can't get the OTA to apply. It gets about 25 to 30% of the way through the installation and then gives me the red Triangle/Exclamation point. I first tried after flashing back to the 1.10.605.15 recovery and after that failed I flashed the full 1.10.605.15 firmware with the same result. Any ideas?

I have that. Haven't figured it out yet either. I did the stock recovery too. s-off and unlocked.
Had the same exact problem as WPSantennas and paganhobbit. Endded up using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475216 to return to S-On, Locked Bootloader at 1.10.605.8 (For mine to work right on this tutorial I had to skip the 2nd 'fastboot oem rebootRUU' after failing for it work.) I think the latest OTA doesn't really like if you have modified or deleted their stock bloat apps for some reason. IMO, The update is not impressive at all and I'd advise to stay at 4.2.2 but this is may be good to do if you want to bump to KitKat in the future. Hope this helps!

I ended up RUU-ing as well, going back to .10. Then it updated to .15 and the 4.3 update without a problem. I didn't re-lock or go S-On to do this. I had tried three different "official stock recovery" files I found, but 4.3 wouldn't update successfully with any of them.
A new problem is it doesn't seem to want to remember my WiFi connections for some reason now. If I go out of range and come back, I have to re-enter the WPA2 key all over again. I suspect it's Verizon's ploy to make me use more data
I currently have Stock 4.2.2 Rom - S-Off - Rooted - TWRP
How can I get to the newest Stock 4.3 (Radios, etc) ?
Is it easier to just flash stock recovery, then take the update, then flash TWRP and superuser back?
Or has someone made the update into a root-friendly flash-able zip yet?
Thanks in advance if this is a dumb question, but I wanted to ask so I get it right the first time.

Thanks for the info...
So I can just flash these with no loss of data? Or do will I need to restore data after I flash the rom?
My plan would be:
1) flash "Odexed Full ROM"
2) flash "2.10.605.1 firmware"
That should put me latest update stock right? (I might need to re-flash superuser)
I can flash all of this through TWRP?

You cannot flash the firmware in twrp.
It has to be done following the instructions in the post.
I would do firmware and then the rom.
Put the rom on your internal storage before flashing the rom.
Flash the firmware as instructed, then in recovery flash the rom, reboot.
Do not try to reboot in between, it wont work.
If you do it in that order you won't have to wipe, you will be on the latest OTA and have a rooted boot.img.
Supersu is installed already. You can prevent it from updating or flash the newest one here.
Read the OP and post#2 and follow it you should be fine.
Yes you want odex coming from full stock...
Thank you for all of the help santod040 !!
Your files and instructions worked perfectly.
I'll make sure to check in on your threads when the 4.4 update comes around.
