[Q] unlock bootloader and OTA

I know some will say its answered somewhere in the forum , but i searched and it didnt give me a clear answer,
if i unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM and rooted my phone wothout flashing a new ROM, will i lose the ability to recive OTAs?
one more thing (sorry im asking alot) unlocking bootloader says that it will erase all phone data , does that include the SD card part of our phone since its internal ? will i lose the photos stored , or its just like flashing an RUU
Thank you so much

Firstly, yes you will lose the ability to receive OTA updates. With regards to the SD Card this will remain untouched.

Are you planning on using a stock rom or a custom rom?
EDIT: Sorry didn't read properly. Yes if you are using stock rom then you should be able to download the OTA update from somewhere on XDA. If you are using a custom rom then the chances are the Dev would have already updated there rom to the latest base.

Sorry to ask additional question:
If I intended to use stock ROM only and continue to receive OTA update but with rooted phone. What is the best suggestion?

in my understanding , you will have to unlock the bootloader and install a CWM recovery to root your phone and keep the stock ROM, but you will have to download and install the OTAs manually

Just flash back the stock recovery, relock the bootloader, reboot the phone, receive OTA update and install. Then re-root process again to have root access.

Just wonder where to find the stock recovery? If my ROM is 1.28.xxxx then I must use back the 1.28.xxx stock recovery img file, isn't it? Where should I look for the exact stock recovery img file?

[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

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...

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 !

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...)

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?

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.

Help, back to stock from lollipop

Hi, first of all:sorry my english. I have a 820n from Orange spain. Im S-On. Twrp and Tomal's Discovery rom. When i got the smartphone, it was on kitkat, i updated via wifi to lollipop, then i rooted it and install tomal rom. I have a Ruu oficial from Orange, but its kitkat Ruu, when i try to install it stuck on 4%. I relock bootloader and install stock recovery when i try to flash the Kitkat Ruu, but always stuck on 4%. Anyone can help me? Its because im on lollipop firmware now? What i can do? Only wait for another official lollipop Ruu from orange? Thanks

Unlock BL, flash newest TWRP from fergy, wipe, and flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820/development/recovery-htc-desire-d820n-stock-t3104448
Then you go back to stock. Remember, don't relock BL when you have custom kernel like in tomal rom

Thanks a lot Skorupa123 tomorrow i will test. Only last question: if i am on tomals 2.0 (lollipop) and i flash that dump i will be able to flash kitkat ruu?

After test, didnt work. Unable to flash stock ruu.

Slow performance, lagging, low battery

Hello Everyone,
When i was in USA i ordered htc one m8 and it is AT&T phone i guess. Since i hate the AT&T apps in the phone i tried to flash a custom rom and i sort of succeeded. Yet i still have problem about it. Whenever i flash a custom rom form( http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-...opment#romList ) here its smooth and perfect first 1-2 weeks. No lagging no annoying problems. But after 2 weeks i am having lags (like slow app opening, late reactions, even freezing) It happens all the time, doesn't matter whichever rom i tried. And another problem is I can kill my battery in 2-3 hours just playing a game (lower than 500mb games). How can i make my phone stable smooth fast and longer battery life? (I love the room that i am using at the moment http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-...pload-t3064838) And i also started to consider that am i flashing the roms wrong??!
Please can somebody help me

Can you check your firmware version? It's in the bootloader menu(to enter it: restart phone then right after screen turns black hold volume down). Mine for example is 6.14.401.4. Also can you tell the name of the rom you use as the links you posted are not full and can't see it?

Your OS firmware is lollipop one, not MM. The best way is to search for RUU(MM one) and flash it. There is thread in the forum how to flash ruu and section for your variant. Beware: RUU will erase ALL your data(yes, including the internal memory) except the Sdcard!

Then you unlock the bootloader as you did before(should be locked to flash ruu it's easy done with fastboot relock command you will see in the instructions) and flash the custom rom. I did that. Was on lollipop firmware(4.16.401.10 in my case) and MM rom, locked the bootloader, flashed stock recovery(before locking the bootloader), flashed the ruu, unlocked the bootloader, flashed custom recovery twrp, flashed the desired new custom MM rom.
Check the instruction, I am not sure if it's needed to flash the stock recovery as the RUU flash that too.

Sadly, I checked, there is no MM update for at&t at that point of time. You are.1 this is .2 version with only SF fix that is not relevant for your problem. Still, I would advice you to try for a weak developer edition stock rooted rom.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-stock-unlocked-developer-sense-7-t3262894
Try this rom. Keep in mind that internal memory files will be moved to folder with name "0", but won't be deleted.

Sadly, I checked, there is no MM update for at&t at that point of time. You are.1 this is .2 version with only SF fix that is not relevant for your problem. Still, I would advice you to try for a weak developer edition stock rooted rom.

I use it currently, in the aroma installer I choose root(normal root method that it's default one, I don't like systemless), swipe2sleep ON and write protection disabler ON. Hope it runs smooth, but give it a few days to settle. This is stock MM rom and I run it with lollipop firmware without problems, tho I have europe unlocked edition and just don't know how at&t copes with it's lollipop firmware and new MM roms. Give it a shot.

Only flashing the firmware requires s-off, relax, I am s-on too. Check the direct link, this is the rom itself and all you need.

There is at&t android development section in the M8 forum, I am sure there will be noticed if MM is released.
Also in general thread in the sticky thread updates. Cheers!

You only need s-off to flash the recommended firmware for this ROM. If you have the right firmware, you never NEED s-off to flash a ROM. This ROM comes with a guide on how to bypass S-ON Write Protection-- a hack by Flar2. This isn't the same as a hard S-OFF
You should give it a try
Edit looks like somebody else beat me to the punch, sorry about that

By asking you what firmware version you have. So, which version do you have? I put the big "If you have the right firmware" in there for a reason :laugh:

I think you are confusing "firmware" with "ROM". While true on some devices, these terms are used interchangeably, its better to not treat them so on the M8.
On this device, "firmware" usually refers to a number of modules (hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others) not included in the ROM, but included in official OTA updates and RUUs.
Your firmware is Lollipop, as shown by your OS number (on hboot screen) or main version (getvar all). This doesn't change when you flash a ROM.
LP firmware should run fine with MM ROMs. Technically, its best to run MM firmware. But you can't update the firmware until AT&T MM is released, or alternately if you get s-off. And the changes in the firmware seem minimal. I'm running LP firmware with the 6.12.1540 stock ROM linked by another user in this thread, with no glitches whatsoever.

Big thank you inbound!
I wanted to suggest that it might be safe to try running a MM ROM with the LP firmware, but had no precedent to do so. Sounds like it is generally safe to do so, then :laugh:

You are correct, in that general rule of thumb is to update firmware to match the ROM. Especially having KitKat firmware with a LP ROM, which caused major problems (no WiFi, audio issues, no boot or extreme long boot times).
But MM ROMs in general seem to work fine with LP firmware. It seems minimal changes to the firmware this time around. I haven't seen any issues (at least not anything major or significant) reported running MM ROMs with LP firmware.
And for the OP's AT&T version, he can't update firmware unless he does s-off. So at least for the time being, I don't see a compelling reason to do that; and look at other options to help his performance issues.
