Hi all, in need of advice. My m8 is currently rooted with twrp and s-on. I flashed stock recovery a while back for an update which I thought was 4.4.3 but turned out it wasn't so went back to twrp. Now update has finally hit I've flashed stock recovery and tried to install ota and its not working, even tho it worked fine for last update (which turned out to be a Firewater patch)
My q is. Can I install it using custom recovery if I have the update zip even tho I'm s-on? Happy with sense so not looking at custom roms for this phone.

Have you removed any stock apps i.e bloatware ??????
None. That's what's really bugging me. It's worked fine last update so only thing I did was put twrp back on so I could use external sd and left everything else as it was so I was ready for update coming.
I even wiped phone and started it from New and I still get the red exclamation.

Have you still got TWRP installed?
You will need stock recovery
Same issue for me this morning. I have stock recovery and removed xposed. The update aborts shortly thereafter
To try and get further I used an older nandroid backup (1.54.61.5 cid orang001) and stock recovery, it updated itself but not to 4.4.3, it was just to the 1.74, and from there it just will not update.
I have the 4.4.3 correct cid zipped update file from here. Is there no way of restoring it?

So i update to the new Evo update and i get stuck on a black screen with an android guy confused as hell with a triangle...whas mean?
what state was the phone in before u tried to update. was it rooted, custom recovery, completely stock?
...another victim.
You tried booting into recovery, but stock recovery is no recovery, marked by the triangle and red !. If you're still s-off, flash a recovery, CWM or amon_ra, then flash a rom.

That's stock recovery
I would say pull the battery and leave it for 10 minutes or so. Worked for me once in the past. Hope that helps. Good luck!
it was rooted with the newest (nightly) of CM7, i booted into clockwork mod recovery cause i wanted to switch to stock so i could recieve new update. so i cleared all my data then performed a recovery that put me to the stock ROM (rooted) then cleared phone again to have a total fresh install and then searched for the update and downloaded it and tried installing it but its all like, HEY YOU CANT DO THAT DLFJOEIFJDKFJDF. Halp.

Boot into the bootloader, turn your phone off, while turning it on, hold the vol+down key till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding. At the top you'll see either s-on or off; If s-off, reflash a recovery via PC36IMG, then flash another rom.
okay, i am s-off so basically find a stock ROM flash it then check for the update?

No...the rooted stock OTA roms aren't out yet. Probably by the end of the day. Just flash a rom and just coast till now; like I said, virus should have it by the end of the day.
Okay, I mean my phone works and everything I'm just on the stock rooted ROM (previous to the newest 2.3) I'm just a little confused as to how its not letting me update, I thought the fact that i was rooted didn't really matter cause it would just unroot and wipe out everything.
Triangle Update Error
I am getting the same triangle update error. I have a rooted phone using unrevoked 3. My buddie has the same set up and we both are getting the error. We are trying to un-root our phones to a stock rom but neither of us can find one that removes unrevoked root. Can anyone help. I am a web/graphics computer guy. I don't know much about roms.
Thanks,
Nick

Well if you're on aosp, you can't update, you'd have to be on a sense rom. And you should never accept an OTA while rooted, as it can brick your phone, or permanently use root.
i am on a sense ROM its the stock ROM and i just ran unrevoked.
my work requires encryption. i was on slimkatv22 at the time and had to encrypt. as encryption kept failing, i went back to stock. way back to stock.
so i'm running
JZO54K.I317UCAMH3 ROM
TEAMWIN Recovery
I317UCUCNE5 Bootloader
with Root and Busybox installed.
everytime i try to update via device update, it downloads, reboots and runs TWRP, I decrypt using password, reboots and the update fails with "Update Interrupted" message.
Is there a way to update ROM and keep encryption?
You can't OTA stock ROMs without stock recovery.

Thanks for your response. I tried updating ROM via ODIN and was not successful. Always got stuck in boot logo after i flashed new ROM.
Is there a stock recovery I should flash over TWRP to try?
Thanks for your help.
I have never used encryption so I can't really help if there are specifics around that. What exactly are you trying to install through Odin? If it's the firmware such as THIS it should overwrite the custom recovery with the stock one. If the stock ROM isn't booting you might have to boot into recovery and factory reset/wipe dalvik cache. This is my first Samsung phone so if nothing helps someone else who'd like to offer their assistance would probably be more knowledgeable.
I was going back to stock, which I guess, was mostly successful. however, I've not been able to install new ROM, namely 4.4.2 I317UCUCNE5. so if I install from your link, that should overwrite custom recovery and allow me to upgrade to 4.4.2 ROM either OTA or via Odin?
Maybe? Using the OTA always tells me there isn't an update (cause I'm on T-Mobile I guess?) and I haven't seen any files to update to Kitkat firmware through Odin

Hello!
I have a M8 **Dual Sim** variant (in Switzerland). At the time of purchase, only stock KitKat was available so I unlocked the bootloader, TWRPd and rooted and did what I needed.
Now I have a Lollipop upgrade available but it won't apply (downloads but sig check fails), presumably due to having unlocked the bootloader. I tried flashing (what I think is the original) stock recovery, relocking the bootloader but no good.
I also tried the stock KitKat RUU but that also fails to apply.
I would like to get the Lollipop upgrade *somehow*... should be possible but I didn't quite manage it yet. Please can someone advise?
Thanks.
After some hours, I solved this. Posting here for the benefit of others...
I found a DUGL-specific TWRP backup which I placed on the sdcard and attemped to restore from. It wasn't having it so then I found a dual-sim (DUGL) specific ROM with an older OS version (https://basketbuild.com/uploads/dev.../m8dugl_3.33.401.6_stock_rooted_odex_cptb.zip) so flashed the latest TWRP recovery, then this ROM. Then the OTA worked.
Finally a Lollipop build on HTC M8 Dual Sim!
Dear Bonstio
Thank you so much for your follow-up post.
Let me explain my story:
I have a Dual Sim HTC One M8.
It was rooted and running lollipop after an OTA update a couple of months ago. Bootloader was Unlocked and was S-ON.
Recently - i got the OTA Update that corrects stagefright. I took the update and installed it. I had the stock recovery installed in order to get and install OTA Updates.
For some reason, when i restarted after the OTA update - the phone was stuck on the HTC Splash screen. This went on for 5 to 6 hours.
I tried factory data reset, i tried TWRP as the recovery - but i was unable to get the phone back to boot into the OS.
I found a TWRP Backup online and installed that via TWRP. That brought me back to the stock Kitkat 4.4.1.
I then restored the stock recovery.
Looked for an OTA Update - found one for OTA_M8_DUGL_K444_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.6-1.45.401.12_R_release_398692-1.zip .
Tried to apply the OTA update with stock recovery installed - the update would not install.
After many days of trying different way to install the OTA update - i gave up and settled with the the fact that i will never get Lollipop and i would be stuck on 4.4.1 forever. I tried several RUUs, stock recoveries, Zip files for TWRP, etc.
I then did a search and stumbled upon your post. I clicked on the link you have provided and installed the stock ROM as per the instructions listed here: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...tc-one-for-completely-new-experience-0153231/
I now needed S-OFF to install this "New ROM".
I downloaded Sunshine S-OFF - paid the $25 and got S-OFF. I knew this had to be done before installing custom Roms.
Once i was S-OFF - i followed the instructions on the link above to install the file you have mentioned in your post. - it booted to an updated version of Kitkat - 4.4.4 .
From there - i looked for an OTA update - downloaded it. Chose "install later".
Went to the download folder and copied the update to my PC (just incase).
Then i installed the stock recovery 4.30.401.15_ds_recovery.img and rebooted. Once in the OS - i chose install update - the OTA update rebooted my phone and installed Lollipop on it.
So a BIG THANK YOU to you for posting your solution - it really helped me get back to Lollipop.
So the other day I sucessfully rooted my phone by flashing SuperSU with a tethered CWM recovery. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of performing an OTA while the phone was rooted, causing a bootloop. I managed to get the device up and running by reflashing the bootloader, recovery, and a pre-rooted system.img. However, I now would like to get the phone back to how it was out of the box so I can get OTA updates. How can I do this? My phone is a ZE551ML WW.

I can't seem to get my computer to recognize the phone while it is in recovery mode. ADB works fine when booted into android though.
I was able to update the phone by putting the zip file in internal storage. Everything seems to be normal now.
Hey guys, I have got some troubles in flashing stock recovery. Currently my m8 is running Android 5.1 (GPE) and I have rooted it via TWRP. When I tried to flash the stock recovery to get an OTA, it showed the recovery had been flashed successfully. However, when I reboot to recovery, I saw a Red triangle with an exclamation mark says error. This is not my first time to flash stock recovery and it used to work. I have no idea on what is going on at this moment. Need your help.
Android version: 5.1
s-off
unlocked
build number: LMY470.H9
If you get a red triangle in the recovery, that is normal. I have it on my phone as well and the OTA worked successfully.

hey thanks for replying.
I have tried to upgrade my phone under this condition, however, it comes with an error again. (also a red triangle when OTA)
Last time when I flashed the stock recovery, the phone became unrooted. And the OTA worked successfully. But this time even I flash the stock recovery, it is still rooted. I don't know how to deal with it.
I have heard that some of the recent OTAs do not update properly if the phone is rooted. I've never rooted my phone at all so my updates have worked fine. You might need to unroot before you proceed. That can be done via the SuperSU app.
It's a fact that on sense roms ota don't even work when you unroot the rom !
In that case you need a NEVER rooted rom and stock recovery. This came in the picture since lollipop ! Guess its no different for GPE
