[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.

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.

We have a wiener!
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:

You still have your usb cable plugged in. It will NOT work like that. @taaeem has already mentioned that.
What was the previous firmware that you had installed?
If it was a Chinese firmware, you need to try flashing this file first: https://mega.co.nz/#!8kcVADpB!JKeDlX4WQhmAP3mclNTfIzIjVllw5sMhnrj-3KSpSc4

maybe the sdcard causes this error too..had this with a 16gb fuji card..with a 8gb noname it worked..
and unplug your phone before flashing..as mentioned..

Have you tried the file that I linked to above?
I think your problem is that you flashed the incorrect recovery version for the firmware you had on your device.
Unless you used TWRP to completely wipe your device before you flashed your stock recovery (which was not at all necessary), then you should still have a firmware on your device.

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.

When. Install the firmware from asus site, its says cant verify
Failed to verify whole file signature.what shuld i do pleaae?

Okay, not enough information, since you are using cwm temporary I am guessing you have not unlocked your boot loader which will cause the fail, can you get into the bootloader?
If you can follow the instructions and download the current rooted Rom and follow instructions to flash the stock rom

You can't flash asus firmware with cwm.
You can unbrick with adb sideload.
See THIS GUIDE how to sideload

I am done here, if you choose to follow advice to try using temp cwm to fix your phone I am sure you fail, your best solution is to use bootloader to flash, everything you need is in this thread, if you choose not to do the proper research before you start flashing things without doing the proper research before then you are beyond help here.

it says in device manager " asus android bootloader interference"
and in the phone its says normal boot and there is icon of open android/
and it written in blue "continue the fast boot process

try "fastboot devices"
if it answers than try flashing twrp or stock recovery
command to flash recovery "fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
after that u can try to flash custom rom using twrp or stock rom via twrp or stock firmware using adb sideload

I manage to make it work and install cm 13 the latest nightly.but when I make a call or receive one the phone reboots itself. What is the problem? Thanks

try factory resetting it
