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
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
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:

Okay cool - will try although I thought I flashed stock recovery. I got rid of CMR when I got in from work today ... recovery img was in the fastboot folder i used when unlocking bootloader.

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?
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???
this custom rom doesnt have that option

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

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!

Sorry being quite busy with work these days.
Ok, you have downloaded nandroid file, now find stock recovery to download and follow the steps:
- Copy nandroid file to phone storage
- Flash any custom recovery (philz, cwm or twrp) on your phone. Instructions can be found on the recovery threads.
- Boot phone into recovery, select install from zip file, browse to the nandroid backup file and proceed.
- Wipe all if boot loop.
- Flash stock recovery
- Reboot phone
Now your phone is in stock status which is ready for ota update. Go "Check for updates" and see..

Long answer, do the research. Learn what you're doing. Open an OTA and have a look inside

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

"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.
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

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.

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?
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.

What's the software number (phone Settings>About>Software information>More>Build number) now that you restored the stock ROM nandroid you made previously?

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 ...

Same result but with a different message. Now it says htc/rogers_wwe/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C/463267.2:user/release-key.

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
