[Q] Android 4.3 OTA update to JWR66Y from JWR66V

i have tried to update when the notification came out.
it failed so i tried to unroot and updated again.
it also failed so i downloaded the zip file of JWR66Y and tried to install through recovery mode.
but it showed me that
warning: no file_contexts assert failed "/system/build.prop"........
and then abort.
anyone have the same problem?
i don't know how i can update.

do you have a custom recovery??
If so that will cause OTA not to flash

You may not want to take an ota... If you plan on staying rooted may not be the smartest idea.

Are you stock? I just checked and I don't have an ota. Don't take it unless you are soff but even so don't take it.

Post the update zip also please. I wouldn't mind flashing the firmware.zip that comes in it.

4.3 for the VZW One? I thought an HTC Exec said carrier branded devices wouldnt be receiving the update this month.

Something tells me the op has the international version or something because I believe you are right.

Excuse the newby question but is this a major deal for hopefully getting root or no?

According to what the talk is the root method may be working for 4.3 but either way don't take it till confirmation.

Since both are 4.3 builds I suspect a tablet...unless op had gpe installed.

I would suggest going into the Galaxy Nexus forums and looking for your stock recovery.
There will be folks there with the same device and issues you are having that can more specifically help you with that.
You are in the Verizon HTC One forums.
We don't have a 4.3 OTA yet and no files from our device will help you.
Surely there are lots of folks willing and able to help in the proper device forum though.
Good luck!

Thank you for your answer. Now another question: how can i go back to stock recovery? Thank you!
C

They are specific to your software build. What are you on at the moment?

You can download the ota without stock recovery. Then just extract the recovery from the firmware.zip which is in the ota zip file. It saves to downloads folder when you download it.
Then flash it. Then apply the ota.

Stuck on 4.4.2 or what?

So I got my m8 htcdev boot loader unlocked, with twrp, rooted, S-on, 4.4.2, only to realize that in order to flash ViperRom I gotta update my firmware. Not exactly sure what to do. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. What software? Any particular reason you're just not updating via the OTA, 4.4.3 is already out for what, 2 months now? Also, why not do a search for info on how to do firmware upgrades? [2014.09.07][GUIDE] FUU and Firmware flashing

I attempted to do the ota but it didn't show up and for some reason I have to wait 24hrs before checking again. Is it okay to do a stock ota update even though I have a custom recovery with root?

No, you must be stock. Root is fine, you'll lose it though but you can flash it back afterwards. Recovery on the other hand needs to be stock.

Alright. So can I just flash the stock recovery again and it will work?

Correct, assuming you made no other changes to the system, or didn't make changes to build.prop or deleted apps like Facebook, Twitter etc. If all those are "as is" when you got the device then yeah, only flash back stock recovery and you're good to go :good:

Haha alright thanks a ton! I was totally lost with what to do. I just have one last issue. When I attempted to flash the stock recovery through fastboot I got an error about "target max download size" would you possibly know a solution to this?

[Q] Applying VM 816/a5_chl OTA update to rooted phone

There has been an OTA update pushed to VM 816s for about a month or so. I know that normally we cannot apply this to rooted devices because of the tampered flag being set off and not running the stock recovery. Is there any way beyond running RUU and getting to complete stock to apply the update? If not, does anyone know how you can extract update from an updated phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire 816 using XDA Free mobile app

Unroot through the SuperSU app and reflash the stock recovery.

Please Delete. I screwed up and double posted.

I tested this last night, you don't need to re-lock the bootloader. Just unroot, flash stock recovery, and apply the update. No need to lose data.

can't get it to work

Hmm.... I updated via OTA and I looked at the version number.
I used the RUU and looked at version number and they were both the same though.

Can I reroot after update

For some reason it's being a pain and not allowing me to install the update. When I flash the recovery and attempt to boot into it to for a system update, all I get is a red triangle with an exclamation point through it

Lollipop rolling out now

According to a tweet by @llabtofer, lollipop is rolling out for Taiwan useres. Android version is 5.0.2 and unfortunately the update doesn't include sense 7 which will be available for our device but with Android 5.1.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B21aRK6c7mFWRTJ5OGpoS0cxdUU/edit?usp=docslist_api
I'll go back to stock for a couple of days to get the official update as soon as it gets released for my CID.

Can anyone upload lollipop rom??
I am not able to update from update notification. I think this is the reason that I restored my phone which was bricked from stock twrp stck backup. In order to update lollipop, I restored the stock kernel and recovery but it doesn't work. There is no way except someone upload backup or skydragon rom. :crying::crying:

Hopefully someone can capture the ota and upload it!

How did you manage to get back to stock? You have a locked boot loader or unlocked or relocked? And you never rooted your device?

The ota you gave me is an vietnam one because it has viettel bloatware in the app folder?

To go back to stock I restored my First nandroid and then flashed stock recovery which I took from the ota zip.
Bootloader is unlocked, rom is unrooted because I made the backup as soon as I installed TWRP and before rooting.
You might want to double Check what you say in your second post because my device is unlocked and I don't see any viettel stuff in it. CID is HTC_044.
