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.

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.
i m not sure its a problem or not but i cant update my htc one x either through automatic update or manual....my "about" option shows me this screen plz tell its with everyone or i have this problem and any solution???

it not a problem , its just your phone is rooted so this rom you running doesnt have that option , you will have to download a rom you need like 4.2.2 with sense 5 manually , and flash it from the recovery if you know what i mean, :good: remember to thanks

i really dont know...i just know what rooting means...i bought a used cell and i dont know its rooted or not?will be thankful if u make me understand in easy way and i dont want any rooting i want my phone to be in original condition...can i have that now?
yes, you need to find out your cid and main version using this command "fastboot getvar all", then you need to flash the stock recovery and stock odexed rom, relock bootloader and then you should be able to receive OTAs... look around for guides

Basically the phone will get update via OTA if it's on stock rom and stock recovery. Seem yours is not on stock rom.
My question is: how do you know there is an update when your phone is having trouble with "check for update" function?
Aldo, pls post the screenshot of "Software information" and Kernel information (click "More" inside Software information).

I asked just to make sure your phone is not on 4.2.2 and that you want ota 4.3 update.
Well, by the screenshot, you're on custom rom.
Now if you want stock 4.2.2 with sense 5 please do as follow:
1. Flash stock rom 4.2.2 (odexed) or nandroid
- Steps:
+ Identify your cid, and download stock rom or nandroid backup
+ Unlock bootloader (if locked)
+ Flash custom recovery (twrp, cwm..) and copy rom to phone memory (sd card)
+ Boot into recovery: Either flash stock rom or restore from nandroid backup file (remember to follow rom instruction carefully)
+ Reboot and there you go.
2. In case there is no 4.2.2 stock rom/nandroid but 4.1.1 only:
- Do same as above steps and your phone is now at stock rom 4.1.1
- Flash stock recovery (required)
- Reboot and check for OTA 4.2.2 update
- After OTA update, perform nandroid backup and save for future usage.
Report the result.
EDITTED:
Please make sure to backup your phone's data before proceeding as you might lost during rom flashing!

Hey guys
it's an OLD issue with my phone, some of you were able to help me before, and I hope it is the same CASE again.
I'm unable to update my Phone to correct the HEARTBLEED BUG!!
& Can't ROOT it!!
I think the problem is with the MASTER USB, whatever that is
because whenever I try to update it or root it, it says CAN'T OPEN Master USB!
I followed EVERY STEP available on the WORLD WIDE WEB , yet my phone is called a SMART PHONE !

First you must be with stock rom and stock recovery if you want to update the phone and the phon must be not rooted. Second when you go in bootloader first go in bootloader and then connect the phone to computer and you will not see this massage
Well, even when I go into the bootloader and connect my USB, NOTHING happens!

Dont go in bootloader with connected phone to the computer
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

Is there any way to install the eye update from twrp itself ?
This is an update file right, like zip where we can flash from twrp ?
The thing is I cannot find the stock recovery for my model 2.23.118.3

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.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, flash a stock recovery and do a factory reset and try updating your device again.
If you can't try restoring a nandroid backup (in general section you can find tons of backup in the nandroid backup thread) and flash stock recovery and try to do the OTA.

If you are using the international HTC One M8, visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
There is a Stock Recovery section. Choose the correct one based on your firmware version. You flash it by using the command fastboot flash recovery.
