If I remember correctly, you have to reflash the original rom and don't tamper with it until after you do your updates

If you were rooted, then simply unrooting won't allow you to install OTA updates. You need to flash a completely untouched system image. You can either do this by restoring a backup image you or someone else made or by flashing a ruu.
See this post for more details.

Do you get an error7 when the OTA tries to update - it will say something about system partition is modified/RW? TWRP modifies the system partition when you first run it - you get prompted to modify; ensure you only allow it AFTER a stock backup, after the OTA.
If so, you will need to flash the '/system' partition. took me hours to realise my /system partition files were still modified even after applying a backup (which had modified /system files as i allows TWRP updates before i took the backup)
Grab the system.emmc.win file from your STOCK image, and flash manually in download mode.
fastboot flash system system.emmc.win

Can I use the zip u provided to update? I'm totally stock. S-on. On 4.4.2. And how to do it it's been years for me. Thought I needed a .pmg file?

If you are s-on, you can't flash anything custom or stock. You will need to root and s-off first. Or you could take the ota if all you want is the update. If you want to get some customization on there...you should do some reading through the threads. Things are a bit different since a few years ago and this phone doesn't have an external sd card...

First link is 100% stock and will work on stock recovery. Just place it on the phone storage or SD and boot to stock recovery. Choose the appropriate "apply update from" and then point to that file.

every time i try to get into the recovery menu i just get a picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point.
Any idea if towelroot works with this update? I noticed that the update notes on the vzw website says "Device root vulnerability issue has been resolved"

That is your stock recovery. Stock recovery is not meant to go into like custom ones. It's used for ota's, factory resets, and that's about it.

got "invalid operation" when trying to update with the zip file, it is on device storage, any ideas? does the zip need to be renamed?

When flashing an OTA everything has to be bone stock. If you have stock tethering enabled, Xposed Framework installed, or files missing from /system/apps, it will fail.
That's a bummer. I'm totally stock. Just changed fonts, that's it. Guess it just won't go. thanks
I restored stock recovery and stock hotspot and the OTA still won't install properly -- I'm not sure what I'm missing. Is there any way to flash the OTA when rooted without wiping my phone?

Flash in trwp the full odex ROM. I don't know if updating via ota while rooted will work. I know unlock and s-off doesn't matter from personal experience.

In the past, simply restoring stock recovery, updating normally, and then flashing a custom recovery was enough. Doesn't seem to work this time, or there's simply some customization I've forgotten about.
If I'm not mistaken, just the presence of the su binary can be enough to abort an official ota. If you have the official OTA zip and attempt flashing through the stock recovery and it fails, the error message should give some indication of the problem. The script runs a check on the contents of /system and if anything is off it will fail.

Su is fine. It simply won't work afterwords. Any other system changes will cause it to fail though.

So I have TWRP, root, s-off, and XPosed installed. Verizon sent me the OTA update, but I need to return everything to stock before I do anything with the update? I'm a little dense here...

Disable xposed. Flash stock recovery and take the ota. Then flash custom recovery via Fastboot and flash su.zip in Twrp.
Assuming of course you made no other /system mods other than root and xposed.
Hi All,
After scouring many of the posts, I've seen that TWRP recovery 2.8.50 has some sort of setting that causes you to lose the ability to get OTA updates. Though I'm not sure on the exact steps needed. At the moment, I've unlocked my bootloader using HTC Dev, and flashed the superuser.zip file and have a TWRP recovery.
Currently on 1.32.401.6 with the new 1.32.401.15 update downloaded but not able to be installed (want to fix the overheating issue)
Can someone best advice me on the correct process needed to install the update. Would flashing stock recovery not work?
Thanks

You need someone to provide you with an untouched stock system image if you want to take the OTA.

So if my cidnum is HTC__001 (which i've checked) then would I be able to use the file found in this thread?
Hi friends, I am getting notifications to update my M8 to marshmallow.Its with unlocked bootloader,rooted and with S-OFF and running stock rom.Currently its running Android 5.0.1 with Htc sense version 6.0 on a Rogers(canadian) network.Will it be safe to update it to marshmallow?Will i be able to root it afterwards?Any suggestions please?Thanks
You will need an unrooted (never rooted) stock Rogers ROM, and corresponding stock recovery, in order to update by OTA.
Otherwise, there haven't been any issues reported (such as root) with Marshmallow. Root requires a newer version SuperSU (2.51 or later), but otherwise there aren't any major issues.

Nope, unrooting won't work OTA will still fail). I specified never rooted for that reason.
You can use a TWRP backup, if you made one before rooting. Otherwise, you'll need to find a stock (unrooted) TWRP backup on the forums.

I'm not sure what you are asking. You can't run the OTA as-is, in order to return to stock ROM, if that is what you mean. This will fail for the same reason a Marshmallow OTA will fail (due to modified software) in addition that version check will probably also make it fail (you can't OTA to the same version already on the phone).
You might be able to extract the ROM for the zip file. But this can be risky, too. Its best you find a previously posted TWRP backup of the stock ROM; or ask someone to post it.

Thanks redpoint!! Please bear with me due to my limited knowledge.I have my own twrp back up which i made just after i got the phone and before doing anything but its an year old backup.I think at that time it was android 4.4.3.But after that my phone took 3 OTA updates.So i can i still use my old stock android 4.4.3 TWRP backup?
I also have recovery.img which i made just after getting OTA update 6-7 months ago.I used "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/recovery.img" to save recovery image.

That one is probably too old. The backup needs to match your firmware (hboot, radio, etc.) or at least be close.

What part about never rooted do you not understand???
Stop trying to invent ways around it. You can dance around and cluck like a chicken if you want, it still won't make a previously rooted ROM never rooted.
You've been told the proper way to proceed.

Hi Guys,
i have a rooted device and i modified it to be US Unlocked.
when i'm installing OTA (Root Removed for OTA, stock boot & recovery), i get this:
"/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system has been remounted r/w" reflash
ideas?
Your system was mounted, so HTC won't let you upgrade by OTA. Try using RUU provided on the HTC website since you're on US unlock.
yeah thought so... thanks alot

You may also ask in the backup thread if someone has a stock system image for your version, usually each version is kept by someone.

Hey guys,
i have a rooted HTC 10 (unlocked) still on android 6. Now from time to time it acts weird so i thought i should just update.
what do i need to look for? is there root and xposed for 7? (I just need root for adblocker)
I have xposed, so i will use its uninstall script. how do i proceed from there? just OTA?
thanks!

You can root 7. There is no xposed for 7.
To take the OTA, you need to have stock system partition and recovery. Since you're already rooted and using xposed, your system partition is likely modified (did you use Magisk?) and you won't be able to take the OTA. You'd have to restore a stock system and recovery, or the cleaner way is to run an ruu for your phone.

As mentioned by Magnum it's basically a fully contained file that restores your phones partitions back to stock. You need one to match your phone software version, you can't use one that's older that what you already have installed and you can't use one made for a different phone variant/region. That's unless you're s-off which it doesn't sound like you are.
First, read up a bit more about what an ruu is. Then, check out this thread and find the appropriate ruu for your phone in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297
Or, if you bought your phone directly from htc in the US, download the latest RUU from HTC's website.
