Me again!! Sorry for spamming but i need little help here
I have an M8x unlocked version (CID no. HTC__621), S-ON, Rooted. Yesterday pop-up OTA update (number 4.24.709.3). My phone running Lollipop 5.0.2 (4.24.709.2). The phone must be "stock" to do an OTA, so i install the stock recovery (i understand the stock recovery this and is here). Once i do that i try to install OTA and the desaster come, my phone run into bootloop (stucked in htc logo) then i remember the backup i do before, so phone is now operating. the thing, i know, with root i can't install any update, so i want to go back into pure stock sense, with stock recovery to do the update, or at least come back to one version that allow make the OTA's (Android M is coming!!!) i'm a little dumb haha, i need some good soul to teach me exactly what to do to finally leave my phone alone and you guys, thank you so much 4 help me out!!

You cannot take an OTA if you are rooted, have custom recovery. You MUST be absolutely stock ROM with stock recovery to take and install correctly OTA updates.
similar problem.. i flashed stock recovery but still getting installation aborted..

You can't even update if you "unrooted" your rom.
You must have NEVER rooted stock rom + recovery !

It's clearly shown in the log you have a rooted device or a unrooted previously rooted device, your binary is not stock

Like i said, you need a never rooted stock backup. You should have made one after you flashed twrp to begin with.
But go to the backup threads and find the one that corresponds with your software build number. Restore it and flash the stock recovery. Then you can do ota
Had the same problem
I just wanted to share my experience. I had the same problem.
So I downloaded a twrp-backup of my version, since I failed to do proper backups myself. Then I unpacked it. The system.ext4.win### can be unpacked with tar.
Then I did a: (on my linux, but should work with cygwin for windows. It gives a list of the checksum of all files under the current directory)
find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \; > stock.md5
Uploaded the stock.m5 and compared to my phones files. md5sum -c stock.md5 works if you have it installed, if not, can make a script that uses the md5-command.
What I found in this OTA for me, was that my /system/bin/app_process32 was softlinked to /system/xbin/daemonsu, and thus had the wrong md5sum.
The original was saved, so I booted twrp and adb in to restore the file.
After that the OTA would run, and all looked good, until it rebooted, and got stuck at the boot-screen. Did the hold volume-up and power to reboot into bootloader. (Did it a few times before I read online that you must unplug the usb for it to work)
My OS was the new version (6.12.709.4), so it seemed as the important parts were updated right. I searched for a backup in the recovery-thread, but there was none yet.
After that fastboot boot twrp.img, to start it without flashing. And then did a full backup of phone again, and now unpacked my backup. Just looking through to see if any other softlink was wrong, I found that /system/bin/app_process had changed to also softlink to /system/xbin/daemonsu. (It was softlinked to app_process32 before...)
So I cd /system/xbin/ && rm app_process && ln -s app_process32 app_process
Then I rebooted, and now my phone is working great with android version 6.0.
Im not saying anyone should do like this. I just telling this for those who want to look around before flashing a binary downloaded from somewhere. So as per usual, dont blame me.

Carrier unlocking has nothing to do with the OTA. As long as the firmware, ROM and stock recovery all match, there's no reason why you cannot take OTA updates. If you are rooted, however, you cannot take the updates, they will fail to install.

You can try. But I think the OTA will detect that the ROM number doesn't match your firmware number, and fail.

That's too low version.
Have a look the thread linked in my signature. There's a non-rooted backup 3.34.666.4. Give me 5 minutes, I put up link for 4.20.666.1 so you do only 2 OTAs to Marshmallow - 4.20.666.1 --> 4.20.666.2 --> 6.13.666.7
If you're willing to wait, I can upload 4.20.666.2 tomorrow night as it is already late here and I need to go to bed soon. Make request in my thread so I don't forget (if this is needed)

Keep your hair on and wait a while. It takes time sometimes for the updates to come through. You did flash the stock recovery as well?

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.

All ive done is unlock my bootloader - Ive never even flashed a custom ROM!

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 !

You need to flash the stock recovery !
Do this command

If a number pops up starting with 2.17 you need to flash back this recovery

You need stock rom,stock kernel, STOCK RECOVERY....not the custom cwm recovery. That's why the update fails. :thumbup:

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

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?
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.

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 ?

Read the thread that I linked above ... see Q&A in post #2.
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

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.

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 am looking for the 4.19.161.2 RUU for Vodafone UK (VODAP001) , I downloaded one from here but it doesn't launch.
Can anyone help? I have reverted my phone with the 4.19.161.2 nandroid and restored the 4.19.161.2 recovery, i went to do an OTA update and it fails so if someone could help that would be great.
Kind regards
Jamie

That usually means you have the wrong stock nandroid, or the wrong stock recovery.
What does it say for OS number on your bootloader screen?

That is usually what the "fingerprint" error message means, yes.
But in your case, it looks like you properly matched the stock nandroid and stock recovery to your OS (main version) number. I know that probably seemed like a stupid question (that you properly matched those). But you never know, sometimes it pays to check the seemingly obvious stuff first.
So this is the OTA update that was automatically downloaded to your phone when you checked for an update in Settings? Or did you load it manually?

Yeah I was 100% sure everything matched, thi is just the OTA update it automatically downloaded and tried to install through the settings menu.

That's odd, I don't see why the OTA is failing then. Software says "Official" on the bootloader screen?
You might also try the stock nandroid and stock recovery files for 4.19.161.3. Again, you properly matched the OS number (and .3 actually doesn't match). But I don't think it hurts anything to try.

But if it doesnt match isint this a waste of time?
I was really looking for the RUU file so I can 100% put it back to stock.

Not necessarily. Sometimes the files will work, when the numbers are that close together.
I don't know of or have access to the RUU for your version number, so I'm trying to think out of the box here.

His mistake is wrong recovery version. He is using the old KitKat recovery 2.22.161.6 to update 4.19.161.2 to 4.19.161.3
The error clearly stated "this device has htc/vodafone_uk/htc_m8:4.4.3/KTUL84L" recovery image
but the expected recovery is htc/vodafone_uk/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C

As written above, you need to install either 4.19.161.2 or 4.19.161.3 stock recovery image as you're updating from 4.19.161.2 to 4.19.161.3

I downloaded a link on this forum which said it was the 4.19.161.2 stock recovery but it must of been incorrect, do you have a link for it?

It all seemed to update fine now, thank you so much for your help!
I have 1 last problem, i have the supersu installer on my phone and i want to remove it, how do I go about doing that?
Infact, the update hasnt went very well....
it boots up the htc splash screen then it goes to a black screen and nothing... its went from bad to worse , any suggestions?
I managed to get into the the recovery log, here is what it reports (i took the sd card out to see if it would boot without it in case this was causing it to fail to load)
You can't use a rooted ROM to OTA.
You need a non-rooted ROM for that.
Read and everything that you need is linked in my signature.
Restore 4.19.161.2 backup and its stock recovery then try again.
I can't always reply because I'm on holiday in Krabi, Thailand.
I have only 50mb free data daily.

When I create a backup with the latest TWRP it says successful, i then reboot into recovery again and mount data and i see the twrp folder but when i go into it, it is blank.
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 ...

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
