[Q] Requesting help with OTA JB Update

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.

If you are on stock ROM, you just need to flash stock recovery as OTA doesn't work with custom recovery (TWRP).
If you know your CID head over to stock backups thread and flash the stock recovery for your CID and you should be good to go.

Time to search, read up and learn.
If you had done this is the first place, you would know that OTAs are not compatible with custom recovery.
Also, there are quite a few threads on how to install stock recovery.

May I ask how you installed a custom recovery. Stock is done the same way thus you should know how it works ...

Problems to get stuck ota to work

Hello i got a massive problem getting my 4.4.4 ota to work. I found an old stock backup and everything seemed fine ota start downloading and whatnot. So the phone restart in recovery not in hboot and try to flash the download ota pack. But everytime it produces an error.
By the way bootloader is unlocked and there's a tempered label I'm s-on and firewater doesn't work.
Any help? I'm so sick of have to use 4.4.2 droid...

Stock recovery installed ?
Old stock backup is pure stock with nothing removed ?
What's the error listed in recovery ?
What's your software version no. ? Maybe a proper backup is around somewhere especially here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

Update to Android 6 and TWRP

I have installed the TWRP and just wanted to update to Android 6. The problem is, that once the download finishes and the phone reboots, it puts me in the TWRP instead of installing the update. How do I proceed to update my phone to Android 6?

You want to install OTA on TWRP? Not gonna work, find your software number(4.xx.xx.xx) in Settings/about. Then flash stock recovery(numbers must match with software number) and try to apply OTA. You might need clean stock(non-rooted) rom.

I checked my version and it says 4.16.401.13, so I downloaded the stock+recovery+4.16.401.13_M8 and flashed it via adb using "fastboot flash recovery img". When I wanted to install the OTA I got into the recovery and got this: http://imgur.com/FpVk5Sg
Afaik I have the official ROM and just got root access for a few apps back in the days

unexpected contents(i think thats some root binaries etc)...
Anyways, check this thread and download stock twrp nand for your 4.16.401.13 firmware from here, follow the steps carefully, it's easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Thank you! Am I seeing that right, that all of my apps and co will be gone afterwards?

Yep, but you can always backup apps(+data of apps) with titanium backup pro and restore later.

Either need to install a stock (never rooted) ROM, of you have the wrong stock recovery.

You haven't posted enough information. Posting that you have the "same problem" isn't helpful, and usually leaves us lacking the specific information needed to help you at all.
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number).
Also, is Bootloader is unlocked?
Is the phone currently on stock ROM? Rooted?
What version TWRP?

Having trouble flashing ota after returning to stock.

Hi guys. I need ur help on this one .
I've had the m8 since new and first things I did was unlock bootloader to install custom roms. The phone was never s-off !
So, I've been having connectivity problems and I have to bring it in to have it looked at. But my current provider(Eastlink) won't support rooted phones or phones with custom roms. So since last night I decided to put it right back to stock and update it. This is where I ran into problems and the problems I've found are most likely what is causing the initial connectivity problems.
So I restored my original nandroid backup, flashed original recovery and went to do the ota update which will update the phone to MM. But when it flashes the OTA it always comes up with a (status 7) installation aborted with this message ... (see pic) something about was expecting build fingerprint of htc/Rogers_wwe but mine has htc_europe.
Also, there is no OS version in bootloader(see pic).
Any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You restored the wrong stock ROM and/or wrong stock recovery.
OS number missing is a symptom of using a very outdated version of TWRP (known bug).

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that it could be a wrong stock recovery but the stock rom is a nandroid backup I had taken when I bought the phone.
THe version of twrp I've been using is twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img

I see you've had the device a long time, and unlocked bootloader right away. So you had an older version TWRP at one time, which wipes the OS number. Updating to a new TWRP does not fix the problem. The only way OS number will show up again is if firmware is installed by flashing firmware.zip, RUU, OTA, etc.

Oh, ok thanks for clearing that up. Makes sense.
Any idea where I can find the correct recovery ? I was thinking of asking this member ?

Also I wanted to mention was that I'm pretty sure I had the stock recovery which was on my computer with the htc m8 stuff since Jan, 2015. But that one doesn't seem to be working. But I could be wrong on that. It could be from a different phone now that I look at that folder more closely.

I'll check as soon as the phone boots up. But I think I may have found the problem with recovery. I'll post results back soon. I think I was trying to flash the stock recovery with the bootloader locked. Long night ... :\
Update: Build number is 4.20.631.3 CL463267 release-keys
Going to try the ota right now ...

Your recovery version is wrong.
It expect recovery version 4.20.631.3 or 6.13.631.7 but you installed 4.20.631.2

Thanks ! Ok, I'll try it again. I just flashed 4.20.661.3_recovery.img But I'm not sure if this is a Rogers recovery or international.
Hopefully that works ...

Did not work. Apparently this recovery was for a Telus device. I need a Rogers recovery.
Anyone have a link to one that's required ?

Hi ckpv5,
I installed one of ur stock recoveries 4.20.631.3_recovery from ur collection, and now I am getting this error while doing the OTA.(see attached pic).
Any ideas ?

Update ...
I decided to go and flash the firmware.zip file from within the OTA file. It flashed ok and I now have an OS version in the bootloder.
But now it won't go any further then going to the bootloader, which I have to force into. Goes to black screen.
I then tried to flash the OTA file the same way "fastboot flash zip RUU.zip(renamed) and it fails to flash. So now I am soft bricked.
Never been in this situation before and need some advice please !

Solved!
After flashing the firmware from the OTA zip file I forgot that everything would be wiped. So here's what I did ...
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. Flash recovery.
3. Restore nandroid backup.
4. Boot up then shut down and flash proper version of stock recovery.
5. Relock bootloader.
6. Install OTA !
Thanks guys for all ur help
