Hey guys,
Apologies if this has already been covered before; I've just tried flashing a stock recovery back onto my One (after using TWRP) to apply an OTA update but when I boot into recovery it comes up with an image of the phone and a red exclamation mark/triangle and doesn't appear to go into recovery at all - this also happens when I try applying the OTA update after downloading it.
What am I doing wrong here? I've booted the phone into fastboot, run fastboot flash recovery [recovery image name] from the command prompt and everything appears to work but there's just no recovery.
Software version is 1.12.710.17, had downloaded the appropriate recovery image.
I've also had Xposed installed, but have tried disabling it as well which doesn't seem to help.
EDIT: Have tried flashing via fastboot again, then accessing recovery through hboot and it comes up with "no image or wrong image" (this is while entering hboot menu, not into recovery). Phone is rooted and has S-OFF, I don't understand why it isn't saving the recovery image?
DOUBLE EDIT: I can flash custom recoveries via fastboot fine, although I still get the "no image or wrong image" message when entering the hboot menu (although I can actually get to recovery). Much confusion, such frustration. Wow.

Where did you get the recovery image from? did you extract it from the OTA?

Negative, I got the recovery image from this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Just extract it from your OTA zip file. it will be in the firmware.zip file. You'll have to use 7zip or something to extract it.

Thanks for the advice, gave it a try but I'm still stuck at square one it seems. I try and boot to recovery after flashing and it comes up with the image of the phone with the red exclamation mark/triangle still.

Thank you sir! I'd been holding power which was rebooting the phone.
That's at least got me into recovery, but now when I try and apply the OTA file via recovery it comes up with "/system/lib/modules/a8293.ko" has unexpected contents. Installation aborted.
It's a never-ending battle! Hahah.
Actually I am using a custom kernel as well, could that be the problem?

Figured as much. I can't seem to find a standard kernel anywhere, looks like I may have to revert back to a stock image and start again.

Sorry Im a bit of a Noob but I'm trying to get the new OTA update.
I rooted with hasoon's toolkit, Ive changed nothing on my phone except for installing some root only apps from the playstore.
My current firmware is 1.12.502.18
How do I go about getting my OTA update? I cant seem to find a link that explains this clearly.
Thank you for your time.

Hey @exad it seems I've run into the same problem as BJ van Beethoven... but I don't have a stock Kernel.. I noticed you're on Telus (so am I) you wouldn't happen to have a stock kernel from the last update would you? or could I use the one from the OTA I just downloaded? I made a copy and can unzip it and try to flash it.. I'm currently on 1.55.661.4 firmware.
thanks!!!!!

Hey
Recently, my HOX has recieved the OTA update for JB.
So, I installed the small update, downloaded JB, and it asked me whether I want to install it now or later.
Now, when I click on the "Install" botton, it reboots my phone right into a recovery menu. So, first, I used the "select zip from sdcard", and found the update in "downloads". However, it at first refused to verfy the update. I found out, after some tries, that verification can be toggled off.
However, it still doesn't update to JB, and when I cick that zip it says there was an error, showing some code which looks like a CID check.
Now, my CID is HTC__ 001, my rom is stock and my bootloader is unlocked. Rooted, as well.
Any advice? Should I maby relock my phone, or try restoring to factory defaults?
Which recovery ? Stock or CWM ?
It needs stock recovery for JB update.
Lock your boot loader!

No, that's incorrect.
You need to install stock recovery, and you also need stock ROM.
The ROM, as I've said, is stock.
As for the recovery... why would it not be stock? I mean, I thought it's quite (extremely) complicated to modify the core Linux-based elements of the phone, which is where the recovery is (in the boot menu)
What are you talking about ??? If you flashed a custom recovery like twrp or clockworkmod recovery than you have to flash back the stock recovery ! The phone needs to be 100% stock....root is no problem you lose it after the update, and the bootloader can stay unlocked !
You need
Stock rom
Stock boot.img (kernel)
Stock recovery
Then you can update !

"select zip from sdcard" is not available on stock recovery.
So I guess it's not stock because you flashed a non stock recovery to root your device.
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.

Twrp won't have the decryption keys or some of the HTC specific functions required to apply the OTA. You'll need a stock /system and a stock recovery.

Would this explain the error that I'm getting?
Package expects build fingerprint of htc/tmous/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P/396641.2:user/release-keys or htc/tmous/htc_m8:5.0.1/htc_m8: 5.0.1/LRX22C/464190.4:user/release-keys.; this device has htc/tmous/htc_m8:4.4.3/KTU84L/365360.5/user/release-keys.
I flashed stock recovery, but my phone is still root. Did a full wipe/restore, still getting same thing. The error looks like it's not happy about a missing update perhaps, if I'm reading that correctly. Best I know, I have the latest kitkat version. But, I've had twrp for awhile so maybe I missed an OTA update along the way.

If you're SOFF and supercid just flash the lollipop ruu T-Mobile just release. It doesn't matter what previous rom you're on. Then reflash custom recovery and rooted. I've done this alot of time already.

For me (I am s-on) I did it in this order:
- flashed twrp stock rom
- rebooted and made sure the rom worked
- flashed stock recovery via fastboot
- rebooted and downloaded and installed OTA.
If you are s-off I believe (someone correct me if I am wrong) you can use the RUU instead.
I did have a wifi issue which was solved by a factory wipe ( yes I had to re-install and setup the phone again).

Hey there Liam.
Thanks for the reply.
I've been to that site often, but they don't have the ruu for 1.40.771.1, only 1.32.771.6 and 1.32.771.15; and from what I understand I cant flash a recovery that doesn't match my current SW number.
I'd also be interested to learn how to extract the recovery from an RUU. I tried searching last for instructions, but to no avail.

If you can't find the stock recovery you want, (and you want it so that you can flash an OTA update), you can always extract it from the OTA update zip once the update downloads to your device.
The OTA update will flash with the recovery that comes with the update. For example, say you are on 1.32.771.6 (random number) and you receive an OTA update for upgrading to 1.40.771.1 -- the OTA update will be able to install itself with a 1.32.771.6 stock recovery or with a 1.40.771.1 stock recovery, and the update comes with the 1.40.771.1 recovery.
To extract if from the OTA update zip, all you have to do is open the zip up with the latest version of 7zip, and pull out the recovery.img file.

You should be able to flash the recovery using fastboot. And I don't think you need to lock the bootloader to accept the update. (You need to make sure that you have a stock system partition though...)

I think I have flashed back to stock recovery.
When I rebooted into recovery after flashing I had a black screen with a red exclamation triangle on it.
Is that correct?

Hmmmmm, OK, I decided to see if the OTA update would take, so began the process.
The phone booted into recovery, the update started, then about 10% into the update the phone went to the red exclamation triangle screen.
The phone eventually rebooted itself and the update hasn't taken, (I'm still on 5.0.2).
BUT I have a working phone, so there's that!
Any thoughts on what may have happened?

The first part of the update is just a bunch of checks to ensure that you are fully stock. Are you sure you are fully stock? Did you have root at any point? Did you mount /system as read/write at any point?

All I did was unlock bootloader, root and install TWRP.
No rom flashing or anything like that.

You need to restore a backup of /system from BEFORE you had root. When you got root, you wrote to the system partition, which means it's no longer stock.

Well, bugger.
I believe the only way to go back to full stock would be to run an ruu then, is that correct?

Yes, either that, or find an untouched TWRP backup for your CID and restore it.
I uploaded a 1.40.771.1 backup during last night and added it to my google sheet. The rest of the 771 files will be uploaded somewhere in the near future.
I can't believe I missed this post.
OMGs that's awesome. Thank you SO much.

So I'm new to this whole rooting thing. I unlocked the bootloader and tried to install TWRP, however, things didnt go to plan. Found out I can't use Android Pay with an unlocked bootloader so I want to go back. When I flashed the TWRP, Recovery mode is gone. If I try to go into "reboot to recovery" in the bootloader, It starts a constant loop of the HTC logo. I need to be able to get the stock recovery back so that I can do a factory reset. Can anyone guide me into achieving this? Thanks a million

Do you have your stock recovery backed up? If so flash that. Else you should look around here for one that matches your firmware.
