I got OTA notification today and it can't be installed automatically. The CWM Recovery does not mount /system at start hence error 1. Then I tried to install the OTA zip file manually using CWM but got error 2 as attached. Anyone can help?

CWM RECOVERY does not support the official OTA update !
Please use the Stock recovery and Stock ROM!

Yes....I uninstalled SuperSU, flashed stock recovery and re-locked and found SuperSU came back:crying: Don't know why....I tried OTA and it stopped with a big red excalmatory mark! I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU & to flash the zip manually and was told 12 signatures failed.

Thank you very much!! :good:
I'm not good in Chinese (null, really ) So, whether I understood right that 1,22 clockworkmod.rar is an official ROM?
I have one more question to you considering bootloader unlock. Your wrote in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697994 "1.Unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/(Model selection: HTC one)". Can you tell me, please, will it give UNLOCKED status with S-ON or S-OFF? Cause I made this unlocking procedure through Kingo HTC Bootloader Unlock... and it gave me UNLOCKED with S-ON... Then, with ROOT, it added TEMPERED to HBOOT screen... I'm not sure, what does it mean. Before I had Huawei... it was much simpler to customize it... as long as I'm pretty new to Android.
kinghunki, I used your ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712315 I'm sorry that I ask in this theme... but I have no right to write in the development section. And I have a question to you concerning this ROM. Why I cannot change installation options? Well, I can change them in the installer. However, when installed, ROM doesn't reflect my choice... but install only those apps that were predefined instead... I tried to re-install 3 times... but have no result.... Only predefined options were installed each time.
Thank you very much for your time and understanding!

I know some will say its answered somewhere in the forum , but i searched and it didnt give me a clear answer,
if i unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM and rooted my phone wothout flashing a new ROM, will i lose the ability to recive OTAs?
one more thing (sorry im asking alot) unlocking bootloader says that it will erase all phone data , does that include the SD card part of our phone since its internal ? will i lose the photos stored , or its just like flashing an RUU
Thank you so much

Firstly, yes you will lose the ability to receive OTA updates. With regards to the SD Card this will remain untouched.

Are you planning on using a stock rom or a custom rom?
EDIT: Sorry didn't read properly. Yes if you are using stock rom then you should be able to download the OTA update from somewhere on XDA. If you are using a custom rom then the chances are the Dev would have already updated there rom to the latest base.

in my understanding , you will have to unlock the bootloader and install a CWM recovery to root your phone and keep the stock ROM, but you will have to download and install the OTAs manually

Just flash back the stock recovery, relock the bootloader, reboot the phone, receive OTA update and install. Then re-root process again to have root access.

This is the stock recovery for 1.28.707.10, I believe yours is same as mine.
i installed twrp a few weeks back because i had a sd card problem and read you need root access blah blah. the problem was that i was sold a 128 sc card and it was only 8 gig.... yep bought it from ebay lol. so i did not need twrp.
now i have got the 1st or 2nd software update from htc popping up on my phone. i have not updated because iv read it could mess things up on my phone.
i want to either 1. remove twrp all together so i can install official update or 2nd where to get the update and do it through twrp. where do i need to go. how to install it. also how to install stock android because it is meant to be better and perform better.
also i cant seem to gain access to twrp anymore. do i need to do something in order to get into bootloader ?
help please.

Well I think you can just flash stock recovery back before you do that make a backup with twrp and if you have removed system apps or froze them restore them before flashing stock recovery back & then apply the updates if that is successful just flash twrp back

Well you either need to find your stock rom Inc stock recovery if it's not there you could ask for it on the thread & at some point someone might upload it. Take it you never made a stock Backup before unlocking etc.

Clockwork mod is custom recovery if you have s-off it will install it but if your s-on you will have to flash it via htboot with the Adb commands. Good guide here to have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073

Not being funny there is plenty of guides on xda to help you. If you don't know if you have s-off you shouldn't even attempt the Adb commands or flashing anything as you could end up with a expensive paper weight. Before you do anything else read the XDA threads on the m8

just install the official update while twrp is installed ?
use the rom manager to install clockworkmod ?
my phone has twrp but i dont know how to use it and since i am a noob i think its best i never use it.
i have twrp installed.
the phone is asking to install official update. what do i do ? please help
PLEASE READ
i am in twrp and i see recovery option do i just click that and my phone is back to normal ?
thanks for the help and im sure i am going to mess my phone up now
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.
