[Q] JB OTA update fails on rooted Vodafone One X

Hello guys,
I have a HTC One X from Vodafone, rooted, unlocked, stock rom, custom recovery, and today (FINALLY ) I received the OTA update to Jelly Bean.
I downloaded it and tried to install it using the custom recovery but it was failing on some assert. I guessed that it was because of the recovery so I flashed back the stock recovery and tried to install; fail again.
Went online and found the directory for the update log and saw an entry saying that there was a problem trying to verify the stock Dropbox apk that comes with the phone and that is placed on /system/apps. I read somewhere that if you modify something on the stock apks the OTA would fail, and unfortunatelly I did, I flashed the Galaxy S3 Dropbox apk on my phone, but that's not the problem, the problem is that I deleted the flashed Dropbox and the stock Dropbox from /system/apps without knowing it and the OTA is still failing.
My guess is that if I can flash the stock Dropbox apk to /system/apps, the OTA will try to verify it and will succeed, and therefore I'll have finally Jelly Bean on my branded device (as I said, is just a guess) so if someone could please send me the stock Dropbox apk, the one located in /system/apps as well as any other file located there that could possibly be related to Dropbox app, it will be very very appreciated.
If you guys think that I'm missing something here and even after flashing the stock Dropbox apk the OTA will still fail for some karma related reasons, please let me know and help me out.
If you need any other info from my phone let me know too.
If you need the .zip file with the official update from Vodafone I have it too.
Thanks in advance.

TO update OTA you SHOULD HAVE ONLY stock recovery and STOCK boot.img(kernel) ..and this way everything will be ok.

Well yes I have stock recovery (replaced the custom recovery yesterday) and stock kernel, I haven't changed the kernel yet, and according to the log the problem is with Dropbox. I'll try to find it and paste it here so you guys can see it.
Thanks.

Just flash the RUU, update OTA and reroot.

Alright, will do and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks

I have exactly the same problem and I dont know what to do!
I'd like to just flash the Android Revolution HD JB ROM but im scared of bricking my phone and there is no easy guide to accomplish this - the guides ive seen on youtube are for other ROMS...
So, now that JB is out OTA for my stock ROM I want to update to it but I get stuck...
All ive done is unlock my bootloader - Ive never even flashed a custom ROM!
Wish I'd never done it now...way too complex

If you only unlocked the bootloader the update should run fine !!! If it fails you did change some more !

I think they're right, if I hadn't touched the system apps then I think the update would work, having only unlocked and rooted. Right after you try to install the update, go to /cache/recovery/ and check the logs for any clues on why the update is failing.
I'll try flashing the RUU for my phone, then applying the OTA and the rerooting as suggested, maybe you should try the same.

And rule number 1 after flashing cwm custom recovery is
always do a nandroid backup from the stock rom ! Now you know why its important.so when you go to JB and start rooting and running custom roms.....do the nandroid backup to avoid these situations !

I unlocked the bootloader (HTCDev)
I flashed CWR...
That was it (I am running a different launcher but that makes no different right??)
How do I get the RUU for Vodafone UK? Is that the stock ROM? Sorry, I am not very good with this stuff...I was okay at rooting my Desire HD but this is another level

You need to flash the stock recovery !
Do this command
Fastboot getvar version-main
If a number pops up starting with 2.17 you need to flash back this recovery

And yes you did more than just unlock the bootloader, be specific .... it's necessary for this phone otherwise it gets confusing !

But I still have the stock ROM. I never flashed a custom ROM. I wanted to flash a JB rom, thats why i rooted...then I discovered that my CID was not capable of getting a JB ROM so I just left it rooted but on stock voda ROM...

Doesn't matter .... Did u read my post above yours ....
Last time .....
You need stock rom,stock kernel, STOCK RECOVERY....not the custom cwm recovery. That's why the update fails. :thumbup:

Yes, I thought i flashed stock before but am about to confirm

The goal after unlocking the bootloader is to flash a custom recovery to flash different roms.....therefore i doubt u flashed the stock recovery.....unlocking the bootloader and flashing a stock recovery doesn't make sense

Yes, sorry - i did read it and it did say 2.17xxx...I downloaded the recovery you pointed me to but expect i need to re-unlock the bootloader. (I re-locked it before thinking that was causing the issue...)
Anyway, soon I should know if this works
By the way, I really appreciate you helping me - i've been trying to sort this out all evening!

There is a good chance you are correct. The file in my fastboot folder said recovery and I assumed it was what I was after but it may have been connected to something that I was told to download in the unlocking process (I followed a guide on Youtube by a chap called cursed4eva)
I'm reunlocking the bootloader now because I got an error wh3n i tried to flash that recovery img. "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------
Okay - so I
1/ reunlocked the bootloader which basically wiped the phone back to its initialt state all be it with an unlocked bootloader.
2/ once again completed the OTA download of Vodafone Jellybean for the One X
3/ flashed the 2.17 recovery img that Marcel provided
4/ tried to update
5/ am currently looking at a download / progress bar! (YESSSS!)
6/ am hoping this works!
Thanks a lot Marcel. I very much appreciate your patience!

I already have the RUU for my phone, and I was planning to follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
But I was thinking, what if I flash only the system.img instead of all the 3 files? I already have the stock recovery (the one you provided) and I've never changed the boot.img so I still have the stock one.
What about if I flash the system.img only, and then try the OTA update? Do you think that would work?
Thanks for the help.

Yes you can try that, the phone is already wiped with unlocking the bootloader, i never tried it. But in logical terms it is possible yes. If doesn't work you can always run the complete ruu !

That's weird, I'm getting error 00000006 when trying to flash the system.img.
Reading on other posts that's related to the size of the file, which is around 1 GB. If I can't flash the system.img I think I wont be able to run the entire RUU either.
Do you know a way to bypass this error?

[How-To][Tutorial] Downgrade Kit Kat 4.4.2 to JB 4.1.2

Hi,
I am just writing these steps to help those who want to downgrade from KK to JB due to any reason. Please use these steps at your own risk.
Some Background:
Recently I updated my Razr M to KK, it was Locked and Unrooted, but with the help of Twelroot and Motopocalypse I rooted and unlocked the BL.
Now somehow I didn't like the KK and wanted to go back to JB 4.1.2 because I was now having unlocked BL and rooted phone so it was easy but need to follow some steps to successfully downgrade to JB. So an unlocked BL and rooted with KK is must.
Prerequisite:
USB drivers for Razr M must be installed before proceeding.
Steps:
1. download the firmware file [Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US] from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
2. extract the above archive and replace the XML file with the one in attachment.
3. put the phone into fastboot mode and flash the firmware with RSD Lite (attached)
4. reboot and now you have JB 4.1.2
If you want to install root application again and also want to flash custom recovery then please follow the Post#5 [ATTACK] (thanks ATTACK)
Note : for custom recovery you will need the fastboot.exe if you don't have it then install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe(attached).
Put the phone in fastboot mode, copy the recovery to c:\ and execute the below command :
fastboot flash recovery [Path to recovery image]
If it help you then don't forget to press Thanks button !

Forgive my ignorance but this won't downgrade the kernel will it? I'm hoping it's possible to go from the newest OTA to the stable CM11 but I'm guessing this is new kernel JB. Either way thanks if I can't go to stable CM11 I'll stick with rooted 4.1.2.

Once you have a unlocked bootloader, you do not need to use "root programs". All you need to do is flash a custom recovery via Mfastboot / fastboot then flash SuperSU / Superuser.
In dhacker29's folder there are 2 different recoveries.
"msm8960" is for 4.1.2
"KITKAT" is for 4.4.2

Could you go back to KK when you've downgraded to JB? Just asking this question early before the CM11 M8 release and the transition occurs.

I see don't why you would need to. It would be just like restoring stock firmware via RSD Lite.

Can you please post the error that is displayed in RSD Lite ?
The steps are tested by my 2 times, and there shouldn't be any problem. Make sure you have installed the correct drivers.
Please ensure that your bootloader is unlocked and shows BL unlocked status code 3 on BL screen.

I was also able to successfully flash back to JB with House of Moto via fast boot and full data wipe. It would not work with Universal or Keep Data, had to do full data wipe. Just another alternative :good:

Thanks You Its a Success Downgrade From 4.4 stock > CM11 > Stock rom 4.1 Thank you so much !!!

For those undergoing the downgrade process in RSD Lite and it takes forever for it to finish and the system ends up without data/signal, you need to RSD Lite flash again in order to regain signal. I believe the flashing was sluggish due to the jump from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 and the many changes that were reflashed.

Thank you so much for the guide. After a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I thought that I had bricked my lovely XT907. I finally restored KitKat by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware with the edited XML file (deleting lines with "Getvar", "var" and "oem" in them), then followed your guide to the letter and found myself with a perfectly functional phone once again. No more sticky fastboot loops or audio-related crashes for me!
Lovely guide - thanks again! :laugh:

[Stock Rom] KVT49L.D85110r [Flashable Zip]

I have created a stock, flashable zip of the latest OTA. This is UNROOTED, but can be easily rooted using the SuperSU Flashable zip found HERE! This will not update your modem or bootloader. This is simply the updated boot.img and system.img. I will add more to this and clean it up when I have more time.
Download:
D85110R.zip
Here is a flashable zip for the 10R modem. - Thanks to @graig79 for the update.zip and @autoprime for the modem.img
If you would like to update to the additional 10R Bootloader/Firmware here is a flashable zip courtesy of @autoprime. This is not a locked bootloader and is safe to flash. This will flash aboot.img, dbi.img, factory.img, laf.img, rpm.img, sbl1.img, and tz.img from the 10R release.
Installation Instructions:
Clean install:
Wipe Data/System/Cache/Dalvik in either TWRP or Philz
Flash Rom
Reboot
Dirty install from 10M or 10C Stock Roms (Installing this over other custom roms may cause issues)
Wipe Cache/Dalvik in either TWRP or Philz
Flash Rom
Reboot
Standard Disclaimer: I am not responsible if this blows up your phone or sdcard. You should know what you are doing or read up before flashing. I have installed this myself without issue. If you have issues, read up and search before saying there is a problem with the rom.
Credits:
@zone23 for the updater-script
LG for the update
@autoprime for the boot.img

Thanks bud!!! Have you run across a legit changelog for this update (beyond what tmo is willingly telling us)???
This is what tmo posted for anyone interested...
New features
T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting support
Improvements
Bluetooth connectivity improvements
Wi-Fi connectivity improvements
UI improvements for T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting suport

Thanks for the upload doc

So I have a rooted version that has been deodexed, added a few tweaks, debloated, init.d support, updated all core apps, and added busybox. I will test it today and if all goes well, I will upload. When I say debloated, I mean like 958mb. Thing should run like a champ.

That would be awesome!!

Has anyone been able to take this update via OTA or using the LG PC Suite software?? I tried using the PC Suite software and am getting this error "Cannot Proceed Upgrade: Mobile device software upgrade is blocking on no upgrade policy". This is even on a brand new phone that I just got from the T-Mobile store today!!

Thank you for this. I dirty flashed the update, modem and supersu and all went well. Not that I want it but is the 10r bootloader locked?

Couldnt tell you what you did wrong. This is just a flashable stock rom so there should not be anything else that you need to do. I would start with checking the md5 on your downloads to make sure you did not get a bad download of either file.

I am curious aswell but from what the OP/common logic(not trying to be sarcastic/mean) states
It should allow you to flash the both because rthe boot loader is alrrady unlocked(may overwrite your twrp but installing that is pretty simple) and the modem doesn't even handle that part if the software, I'm flashing all of them now so I'll post if anything happens
EDIT: it kept TWRP but the zips need to be flashed in the order of:
MODEM
BOOTLOADER
ROM
the bootloader fails if it it has the incorrect MODEM underneath it
also i got a boot loop on the rom
EDIT2: its been so long since i flashed a rom, i forgot you needed to wipe data lol

This does not touch the recovery partition so twrp will not be touched. Since this bootloader is still unlocked, there is no harm in flashing. Especially if you are running 10r modem/ROM. Won't hurt if you are running aosp either.

@krowley3 Can I dirty flash this over stock 10m? Obviously I'm rooted I would need to flash the superuser.

I noticed that I after I flashed the new modem and the new bootloader I lost the HD Voice? Does anyone have this issue?

dirty flashing D85110R.zip over stock 10m experiences
Thanks for the post and files krowley3!
I was considering a dirty flash of D85110R.zip over my rooted Stock "m" build as I see that the OP has instructions for doing so...
From OP:
Dirty install from 10M or 10C Stock Roms (Installing this over other custom roms may cause issues)
Wipe Cache/Dalvik in either TWRP or Philz
Flash Rom
Reboot
I was just looking for some feedback from any members who have dirty flashed the D85110R.zip?
TIA

I have all 3 zips in the OP, plus the SuperSU zip. is there any order i need to do this in? I have rooted 10m, so i was just gonna wipe dalvik and cache and install the zips. Should i reboot after each zip? Thanks

Sorry keyboard autocorrect... Non-stock Roms require zv8 radio.
All lollipop versions are non-stock. So you would need the zv8 modem.
If you are on zvc, and you want to go to say resurrection remix or Aicp.
Zvc stock, use ioroot25 to get root.
Download auto-rec.
Install and run
Download TWRP manager from play store.
Update TWRP to 2.8.4.1
Reboot to TWRP.
Backup everything.
Reboot system
Download zv8 radio

Download gapps

Now that is a trick I haven't looked into. Knock code was involved in the kernel/lock screen. May have to Google and see if a third party lock screen app can do it or a mod.

Short answer, yes
Long answer, do the research. Learn what you're doing. Open an OTA and have a look inside
And read my signature regarding DMs...

I tried installing a 4.4.4 ota from Verizon and it fails. Does it need stock recovery? I have clockwork on there currently

Yes. Also, if there is a 4.4.3 OTA for Verizon, you need to install that first before going to 4.4.4.

yes you need the stock recovery. I am having the same issue, although I have CM11 and TWRP and I can not seem to find the telus nandoid or recovery for 3.16

Sorry I meant to say 4.4.3 update and it failed on me.

"Hard brick" or "brick" means you had to open the phone to recovery (JTAG, replace motherboard, etc.). Is this what happened to you?

Failed how? Did it give you an error message about the phone being modified?
You need to be on the stock ROM (no system files altered by root) in order to OTA.

I didn't have to replace any hardware. I guess it was more of a soft brick cause it would show splash screen and then freeze.

Well if I install a 4.4.4 Rom from the forums instead of ota Verizon will it have hboot files included?

Nope. Hboot is not included in a ROM.
But it would be included in a firmware package (s-off required to flash).

I do have s off but when I go to flash an hboot update 3.19.0.00 it starts then says installation aborted in CWM! What gives?

Have a thread for HTC One M8 Verizon HBoot downloads that will flash in Clockwork? Maybe my file is corrupt.

You don't flash FW via CWM, you flash it through fastboot. Have you actually read anything?

Well I have read a ton on this I just don't know my terminology that well. I have been trying to flash hboot.zip which i read can be flashed in cw and it fails. I have also tried fastboot install with platform tools/RUU as well and can't get it. I'll try again tonight and report back. Just trying to learn a little here sorry if I'm not up to your standards EddyOS haha.

Well if you can't even spell my name right there's no hope...If you don't get the terminology then don't even start until you do! I didn't do anything until I learnt what I was doing and how to revert the changes I was making before I first rooted my Desire back in 2010 (and it was a lot more technical back then too!)

Okay bud thanks for that! I was only kidding, learn by doing.
