[Q] [OTA]Can't update via CWM Recovery?

I got OTA notification today and it can't be installed automatically. The CWM Recovery does not mount /system at start hence error 1. Then I tried to install the OTA zip file manually using CWM but got error 2 as attached. Anyone can help?

CWM RECOVERY does not support the official OTA update !
Please use the Stock recovery and Stock ROM!

Yes....I uninstalled SuperSU, flashed stock recovery and re-locked and found SuperSU came back:crying: Don't know why....I tried OTA and it stopped with a big red excalmatory mark! I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU & to flash the zip manually and was told 12 signatures failed.

Thank you very much!! :good:
I'm not good in Chinese (null, really ) So, whether I understood right that 1,22 clockworkmod.rar is an official ROM?
I have one more question to you considering bootloader unlock. Your wrote in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697994 "1.Unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/(Model selection: HTC one)". Can you tell me, please, will it give UNLOCKED status with S-ON or S-OFF? Cause I made this unlocking procedure through Kingo HTC Bootloader Unlock... and it gave me UNLOCKED with S-ON... Then, with ROOT, it added TEMPERED to HBOOT screen... I'm not sure, what does it mean. Before I had Huawei... it was much simpler to customize it... as long as I'm pretty new to Android.
kinghunki, I used your ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712315 I'm sorry that I ask in this theme... but I have no right to write in the development section. And I have a question to you concerning this ROM. Why I cannot change installation options? Well, I can change them in the installer. However, when installed, ROM doesn't reflect my choice... but install only those apps that were predefined instead... I tried to re-install 3 times... but have no result.... Only predefined options were installed each time.
Thank you very much for your time and understanding!

Update to Android 6 and TWRP

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

unexpected contents(i think thats some root binaries etc)...
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?

hello flash stock recovery using flashify then remove root within your superuser app itself. then you will able to update. Note that your rom needs to be untouched. hope you didn't modify anything else.

@Oel I have downloaded it... Where can I find the OTA file? I will upload it when I reach home

@Vivacity I have flashed busybox Flashable zip... Hope it doesn't count as any modification...BTW what type of modification r u talking about? Can u give some examples? My phone is S-ON and bootloader is unlocked does it make any difference?

for the busybox it does count but you can still try though. concerning s-on and bootloader it does not matter.

where was it stored?

Ah..there ist a firmware.zip in the OTA file. Did you try to install this firmware zip through bootloader renamed to 0PFJIMG.zip?
After installing the orig Recovery like Vivacity mentioned? Takeout it outof the the firmware.zip from the OTA.
Or try to install the complete OTA renamed to 0PFJIMG.zip, put it on your external sd card an flash it through bootloader.

It was stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/APP_FOTA

I would go for stock recovery and unroot

I had backed up my phone before flashing busybox... Can I restore that backup file and and then flash stock recovery and unroot?

That patch is glue for root. So, when You apply update, You loose root....
Do NOT apply it if everything work as expected.

got to unroot to be able to apply the update. and then re-root. but i'm very satisfied it fixed my battery problem, i get the same awesome battery life i was getting on kitkat long ago. PS: it's been 10 hours that my phone is idle and battery did not move even by 1%.

@Vivacity plz confirm again... I have to flash stock recovery and after that I have to unroot then I can install this update normally? Is that a right procedure?

i messed up my phone yesterday while restoring twrp backup it shows an error which says E:extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255, now my phone is stuck into recovery with no system or OS, i have wiped everything, one more thing i have another error which says E Unknown File System: 'datamedia'...... plz help
