[Q] Installed Update, Still getting nagged

I installed/flashed the 2.3.4 update for rooted phones from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219407&highlight=stuck&page=72
The update works great (thanks for that) but I am still getting nagged to install the OTA update. Is there a way I can shut this off? I do not want to install the OTA update because I don't want to lose root.
My phone currently has:
Android: 2.3.4
Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-g5e15ac4
[email protected] #1

Software Number: 4.06.605.2
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks. How do I flash that? Is it a complete ROM that I can install from SD card with ROM Manager?

boot into clockworkmod and flash it like a zip. Its just an apk.

Thanks Worked just fine and no longer get nagged.

Will the kill nagging zip file work with any Sense Rom?
I'd modded up my virtuous 3.2 quite a bit and would rather keep it, but can't seem to find where i can skip the OTA.

make a nanadroid and try. I dont see why not. Its just an apk.
EDIT: the zip came from a developer that make's sense roms so im positive this will work.

That nag-fix should get sticky'd somewhere. Happens to quite a few people from what I see on here.

[Q] HTC One M7 Verizon-Mobile Network not available

Here is my dilemma, I recently unlocked and rooted my HTC One M7 for Verizon. I may not have performed a backup but I am oblivious to what the problem may be. I am a newb to rooting and unlocking so please spare me any negative feedback. S-off was successful using firewater. Phone is unlocked in bootloader. Phone was rooted through TWRP v2.7.0.0 and SU. After root was successful I did a factory reset then flashed CM11 with TWRP. CM11 installation was successful except for one problem. My mobile network is not available and a message appears on the screen(You need to refer to the SIM card instruction that came with your phone.) The CM11 file that I installed is: cm-11-20140407-NIGHTLY-m7.zip and after reading that the "Nightly" roms are not the most stable, I then flashed this one: cm-11-20140405-SNAPSHOT-M5-m7.zip. Here is what the Installation looked like in Recovery:
Updating partition details...
Full SELinux support is present.
Formatting Cache using make_ext4fs function.
Wiping data without wiping /data/media ...
Done.
Updating partition details...
Installing ' /sdcard/Download/cm-11-20140405-SN
APSHOT-M5-m7.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Updating partition details..
Successful.
Following the successful flash, I then installed gapps-kk-20131208. Please be detailed in how I can fix this issue. Thanks so much in advance.

Have you ever updated to kk firmware? If your using a kk based rom, you also need kk firmware.

I don't understand. What is KK firmware? This may seem like a stupid question but I really don't know.

No he doesn't mean it has to do with the rom. Firmware is flashed separate from roms. Once you flash it, you don't have to worry about it unless a newer firmware gets released. Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 and follow the instructions on the 2nd post. Use 3.11.605.1 NO Boot.img firmware.zip since you'll be doing custom roms.

I installed this successfully but I still can't make or receive calls. I am wondering if the version of cyanogenmod that I flashed might not be compatible but I did not get a status 7 error when installing. I am also wondering why I got the sim card message when first installing cm11. The version that I installed is stated above on my first post but cyanogenmod has m7 and m7vzw, I can install m7, which I believe is for GSM but I have a Verizon HTC One. When I try to flash the m7vzw version I get the status 7 error code. I tried to do a fix for it but I may have done this incorrectly since I got a status 6 error code. Plz help. I need this phone for work.

You want the m7vzw, the regular m7 is gsm. Status 7 refers to an error in the update script or an incompatible update binary. Does it give a specific error with that status 7? You should also update your twrp to version 2.7.0.4b-santod. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407584851
Last i heard cm11 is only in preview and data and calls do not work. That may have changed though.

Error
I updated the twrp to v2.7.0.4b-santod, did a factory reset and tried to flash cm11 for m7vzw and was given this mssg...E:Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/Download/cm-11-20140124-NIGHTLY-M7VZW.ZIP' Setting performance mode OFF. Error flashing zip....etc.....

Why are you flashing an old nightly, and not the one from yesterday? http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m7vzw&type=nightly
I think your issue is that your trying to flash an older nightly with a newer recovery. The newer recoveries have updated binaries that older roms arent compatie with. So either flash a newer nightly, or and older recovery.
If you want a stable rom, i would not use cm11, i would go with cm10.2.

Compatible
The twrp version you recommended and the yesterday's nightly don't work together. Do you have a recovery and a cm11 that are compatible that you can recommend?

Stock Kernel and Recovery for HTC M8 1.54.401.10

I'm trying to get my HTC M8 back to stock so I can get the new 4.4.3 update, however, I am unable to find the stock kernel for my device.
It is software version 1.54.401.10.
I flashed to the elementalx kernel and put on a TWRP recovery.
I am able to download the update but when it installs, it just goes into recovery.
I made a backup of the original kernel a few months ago however it doesn't seem to be on my phone anymore.
When I look for stock kernels they all seem to be different versions than my device.
Can someone give me a bit of advice?
There are numerous guides for other versions but none mentions my software version.

Any kernel doesn't matter.
Your problem is you don't flash stock recovery.
TWRP or any custom recovery don't work for OTA.

How can I put the stock recovery back?

I put the stock recovery on and tried to update however I get a red triangle with an exclamation mark now...
why's it not taking properly?

I'm new to this obviously. I've figured out that's just how the stock recovery is. Now I'm trying to figure out why the ota doesn't work with the stock recovery.
I get this error when I try to install the update.
/system/lib/modules/adsprpc.ko has unexpected contents. Installation aborted.

This means that something of the system has been changed by you, so the ckecksum of the OTA doesn't match the configuration of your system and thus abort the installation process.

This means your ROM is modified, not pure stock.
I suggest you make a backup with your current ROM and restore the pure stock backup that I posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54564526#post54564526
1. flash back the TWRP recovery
2. make backup of your current one
3. restore pure stock backup that I linked above
4. flash stock recovery
5. reboot then do the OTA

@robgo please close this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/ota-update-4-4-3-t2856172. To open up two threads to aks the same question doesn't help to get to a solution any faster ....

Oh ok, I didn't know the kernel apparently doesn't matter when doing OTA's and here I am telling him to go back to stock kernel because it's a kernel related error he has...
Best I keep out of this one then, I never even flashed another kernel.

Right ... it's kernel related error but to be precised, it's the kernel module error.
Flashing a stock kernel without flashing stock module, the same error will occur.

4.16.401.10 without wipe?

Hi,
sorry the dumb question, but my m8 its on 3.28.401.7 and want to update to 4.16.401.10.
it's possible without wipe data?
3.28.401.7, S-off, stock rom rooted.
Thanks.

If you're updating the firmware, using this thread, since you're s-off,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
Then no, nothing will be wiped. Though backing up first is always good practice, just in case.

Thanks for the reply.
The firmware i already update.
I'm in 3.28.401.9 (version-main) with stock rom 3.28.401.7.
What i want is flash the ota (OTA_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401.10-3.28.401.9_R_release_4170047fkn8dusot1cw62h.zip) and be sure that internal memory is not wiped.
Like the "normal" OTA.
Thanks.

Then you'll need to have stock rom, stock recovery and no system alterations... Like xposed, or bloat uninstalled. Then, when it gets to you, the Ota should work.
As long as your recovery and system partitions are in order. ?

You can sideload it too, in the stock recovery.

The stock recovery dont have the adb sideloader option.
I removed xposedframework and root.
And when i try to apply the zip (0p6bimg.zip): "wrong zipped image!"

You need to be super CID to update firmware that way. And only firmware.... Not the Ota zip.
Unless I am misunderstanding? ?

Honestly, I've never taken an ota or flashed an ota zip... I've always been ahead of the game in every device. Including my M8.
With s-off, you simply super CID, use that firmware flashing thread I posted to update your firmware. Then flash a Lollipop based rom with your custom recovery. Very simple. And no need for an ota.
My device only just started getting the Ota a couple days ago, but I've been on Lollipop for weeks. ?
So there that way..... Otherwise I'm not sure what your issue is, since I've never done it like that myself. Sorry! ?

You should still update the firmware to run Lollipop roms. My not be absolutely necessary, but a good idea, to avoid issues.
Updating firmware is in that link above. Wipes nothing.
You realise though, Flashing a Lollipop ROM will require a clean install too... (meaning wipes) lol
Not your internal SD card.. Pics and that. But wiping data is required, so apps and data gone. So I'd backup! ?
Dirty flashing Lollipop (meaning no wiping first) is a bad idea. You're sure to have issues.
Basically, I'd backup everything regardless of what you do. Things go wrong sometimes in this hobby... And you could lose everything on your device.
Good luck!

Stock H3G_001 or info on how to update

Hi everyone, first time posting here.
I've recently purchased a HTC 10 from a friend. I'm looking to upgrade it to android version 7
The phone has TWRP recovery but no back up of a stock untouched ROM, ive tried looking for a stock UK H3G ROM (H3G_001) but I've been unable to find 1.
Could someone give me a little help on how to update my phone, possibly an idiot proof step by step guide. i just want the latest version available for my phone.
Thanks

Try this thread from a few weeks ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/stock-rom-required-htc-10-cid-h3g001-t3627726
Obviously you'd need a stock backup that matches the version you currently have.
Does your phone currently detect an available ota update?

So, if your system is rooted or modified in any way, you'll need to flash a stock system backup, matching the firmware version you currently have. Then flash stock recovery, and you'd be able to take the OTA.
If your system is already untouched, you would just need to flash the stock recovery, again matching your firmware version, and then take the OTA. There is a recovery for 6.0.1 in that link, but I'm not sure if it's for your firmware version. You could try to flash it and see if the OTA works.
Thinking about it more, if you're able to download the ota I think the best thing to do is to flash the OTA using twrp manually. See instructions in the faq located in the twrp thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...ery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3358139/post66347165
If you follow the instructions, you should be able to take the OTA including firmware, and not have to worry about restoring anything stock first.
