You have the OTA downloaded, but can't flash it I presume?
Transfer the OTA download to your PC and open it with 7zip (it's free).
Find the firmware.zip and unzip it. Extract the recovery.img from that, put it into your fastboot folder and hook up your phone. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hello,
Sorry to but in; If you flash the OTA recovery img onto a phone that has not been updated to that OTA will there be any issues with the phone booting up?
In other words if my phone is on v 1.19 with TWRP and I flash the recovery img from the OTA for v1.19 --> 1.20 will there be a problem?
What happens if you flash the entire firmware.zip for OTA v1.19 --> 1.20?
Does S-ON, S-Off play a role here?
Thank you

Hi everyone! I installed the stock google edition on my HTC ONE M8 last night using adb command. Then I get in TWRP recovery try to restore my previous backup that I made using TWRP. Then I got an "restore failed". So, I get in wipe, but I chose the advanced wipe instead of factory reset because my old defy+ is this. I'm so stupid.... I deleted the system. Now I have no OS installed on my phone. I googled earlier that people were saying that using ADB sideload will work. I get in recovery and pressed the sideload but the progress bar just keep going for like 8 hours straight !!! What should I do?
Also, my phone has unlocked boot loader and S-OFF. I rooted my phone before I did the wipe.
Use adb push <nameofrom>.zip /sdcard and then flash that

Okay. But when I connect my phone to my PC. It makes the notification sound but did not recognize it. And when I typed in "adb devices" there is no devices attached.
It'll only show when booted into TWRP (so flash that in fastboot if you have to), and that's when you push the file

I see now. Does it matter which rom I use? I will try that when I get home. Also, how to use the adb sideload. I stuck in process for about 8hours since last night I pressed the button.
When you flashed the GPe ROM was it just the ROM or the full RUU?

I believe it was RUU.
If it was the RUU then you'll have to flash the firmware package in post 2 of the RUU thread before flashing a Sense-based ROM but if you want the GPe ROM back just flash the RUU again as per the original thread...

Okay. When I tried to use TWRP install the zip file. It told me failed. Is that wrong or should I use adb?
Your backup probably failed because it didn't backup correctly. It's happened to me a couple of times wirh TWRP. You should always check your backup works before deleting anything. There are stock backups available on this forum.
The RUU has to be flashed in fastboot using the fastboot commands, so if you're trying to flash it in TWRP it will fail. To flash the RUU, you have to:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
First time WILL fail, so then run the same command again - fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
fastboot reboot
This is ONLY for the RUU ZIP file and not a normal TWRP-flashable ZIP

What I posed there will get you back to a working GPe M8, to go back to Sense you'll have to go through Post 2 in the RUU thread

If you did want sense all you need to do is restore a stock backup and then flash firmware.
If you restore gpe ruu, just download a stock sense backup, the copy and paste the extracted folder it in the twrp folder and restore, then flash the firmware_splash.zip in RUU mode

You have to flash the FW package first THEN restore/flash a Sense ROM as TWRP won't mount the phone properly as the partitions are borked

I tried to get in my fastboot and do the command u gave me. It tells me to "wait for devices" HELP!!
Hi,
i Restored my phone to the original stock Rom from my nandroid backup then flashed the recovery back and then locked the Bootloader.
once i booted into android i downloaded the OTA for Lollipop but when the phone reboots it starts the install but then goes to recovery and comes up with Installation aborted.
HTC One M8
Orange UK
S-on
I have attached some pictures of what happens and my bootloader.
any ideas on whats happening and how to solve it?
FIX: I downloaded the Update - transferred to PC - unpacked it - opened firmware - copied the Recovery.img to the phone.
I then unlocked the bootloader and flashed the recovery via fastboot . then did the update and all worked.
No need to relock bootloader!
Cheers
That's showing that you're trying to apply the Orange OTA to the unbranded EU model. The message tells you what it expects and what you have in it's place so your backup isn't right

The Nandroid i have is the original os that was shiped with the phone after i flashed CWM i did a backup and that is what i restored.
You can't use EU recovery for Orange
After OTA downloaded, select install later.
Copy OTA zip from Internal Storage\Download folder to PC
Open OTA zip with 7-zip, open firmware.zip extract recovery.img
Use this recovery.img

The other option is to use the recovery that you should be on from the previous OTA, which you can find here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!tVsiyQKZ!21FvMXKN1nxr83u-4dF7mNcXQ1RCWqkkZLA2q_tvKhg
(You'll have to extract it from the firmware.zip in the OTA file and flash it in fastboot)

Great :good::good:
For your info and others that reading this thread ... there is no need to relock bootloader when doing OTA ... leave it unlocked when it is already unlocked.

Help....need recovery_3.29.161.9.img please?
hi,
As the title suggests I am looking for HTC one M8 recovery_3.29.161.9.img to return to stock recovery.....I have tried all the links but they are down. I managed to install 3.29.161.5 recovery.img but it wont let me install the OTA.
My device is 3.29.161.9 main
and the Cid is VODAP001
Any help would be appreciated!
Hey there,
Sorry but what was the error message you received when you tried OTA on 3.29.161.5 recovery?

You don't really need 3.29.161.9 recovery
After download OTA, select install later
Copy OTA zip from internal storage\Download folder to PC

Open firmware.zip you'll see recovery.img - extract this one out
Install the extracted recovery.img then proceed to install OTA
Done
EDIT : you're doing OTA to 4.19.161.2, right ?
Just use 4.19.161.2 recovery

Hi, yes, as I stated in my original post I have tried 3.29.161.5 also but when I tried to install the OTA update the signature verification check throws out an error and it wont install. I think the only recovery that will work for me is 3.29.161.9.
There was a link on here for it on a mega host site but it says the file has been removed so was hoping someone might be able to send me an updated link.
I have even looked for firmware files containing the recovery I need but to no avail.

I did download the OTA for lollipop and extracted the recovery but it ended up being 4.19.161.2 so it wouldnt install either, when i relocked my bootloader then and re-unlocked it, it erased my internal storage so I will have to re -download the OTA again, but I will try your method. Thanks.

You don't need to relock bootloader when doing OTA. Don't know why people keep doing this.
Read my edit above.
If the OTA won't install on 4.19.161.2 recovery then it's not recovery issue. It's the ROM issue, not stock enough.

Just wanted to say a big Thank you for the help, all sorted now . I think my issue was a bad recovery.img of 4.19.161.2 as it wouldn't install first time.
Followed your instructions and I'm back on stock, un-rooted with OTA back
Just wanted to say also, I came from skydragon(used it for months) and think its an awesome Rom(only reverting back to stock to sell on) and I am hoping a version comes available for HTC one M9+ which I currently own.
please delete thread if needed!
Thanks again

It's normal. Download mode is looking for an RUU file. With the M9 RUU are flashed from the SD-card.
You have to rename the ruu.zip to opjaimg.zip then when you boot to download mode it detects the zip and you can flash it from the phone without fastboot. I don't know if the same can be done with just a firmware.zip. though.

It seems you can flash it from the SD card. Copy the firmware to your an SD card. Then rename it OPJAIMG.zip.
Put the sd-card in your phone and reboot to download mode. It should detect the zip. Then press Volume up to start the flash

You need to use fastboot for that.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
Although any .img from the firmware will have been flashed when you flashed the firmware.zip

Really stuck at the moment
My CID is HTC_001 and I'm on version 2.41.401.3? (S-ON)
I'm trying to flash the latest oreo firmware however I can't either find the correct RUU to do it, on top of that I'm trying the flash (I think the right file?_) via SD card however I don't have one and people are mentioned using a command prompt which confused me more.
Please help ! If you can provide links to the RUU or the correct file I'm meant to flash I'd appreciate it

The easiest way for someone who doesn't want to take the time to learn how things work would be to download this Nougat RUU
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=241133
To flash RUU:
Rename the file to 2PS6IMG.zip
Place on Ex SD CARD
boot to download mode
Press vol up to flash.
RUU will erase internal storage. Once RUU has flashed boot your phone and take the OTA to OREO. After your phone has taken the OTA flash the latest twrp then flash leedroid Oreo ROM.
The reason I suggest this way instead of flashing firmware is because your going to have to wipe data anyway and by flashing an RUU you have a clean start.

If anyone wants to know what I did to get back to stock so I could download Oreo
Downloaded Fastboot/ADB(Use this guide) https://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
Enabled USB debugging on the phone
Download HTC_Fastboot (Google it)
Download the Zip yldlj posted (Only if you are the same CID as me, the check this go onto the app store and find CID checker and then look on XDA for appropriate zip)
Put the download zip into the same folder as ADB/HTC_Fastboot/Fastboot folder. Rename it ota.zip
In the folder where you've extracted the ADB/Fastboot/ hold Ctrl Shift Right click open command window here
Connect your phone via USB
Set your phone onto download mode
From there I used the command htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once loaded into RUU Mode use the command htc_fastboot flash zip ota.zip
Once that was complete I was back to stock Android N which then enables me to update to Oreo
BANG

1: you need the ruu that matches your main version OS which can be found in the download mode
2: if you are on leedroid oreo means you have a oreo firmware and in that case you can not "just" flash a nougat ruu. Check the guides section, there is a downgrade dedicated thread with all the needed information
