i have HTC one x which is rooted and unlocked boot loader but i checked for updates after i got it unlocked and rooted , there was a new update i downloaded it and tried to install when i restart the update should be installed but every time i click restart to update the device restarts but dose not install the updates instead the device boot into TWRP recovery screen, so my question is how can i install the official updates? or is there is a way to install them manually using TWRP Recovery screen?
Is your rom still stock ? (No apps deleted) then you need the stock recovery.
What software number are you on now
2.17, 3.14 or even higher ?

Flash this recovery back and try to update again

what would this file do exactly? will it relock the boot or unroot
sorry im new in all of this so basically i know nothing
No you need the stock recovery (HTC) because the custom recovery that we use to flash roms is not capable of handling official update files from htc.
This will not lock the bootloader, it will only replace the custom recovery so that you are able to install the OTA update.
worked and updated thanks for the help
No problem ! :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED !
BUT it unrooted the phone so i had to root it again, no biggie
Yeah thats normal ! But indeed no biggie....enjoy the day
dear all
i m trying to install an OTA updae for my original HTC M8 firmware, the OTA update i am trying to install since along time is ( 3.28.401.9 ) which is 73.96 MB, i have stock recovery, and when i donload the OTA update and try to install with stock recovery, it proceeds for almost 30% only and i see the green arrown, then it turns red and i cant proceed installation, i am doing this so i can get the lolipop update later.
know that my phone is rooted and boot loader is opened.
Tell me exactly what the state of your device is when you look at your bootloader.

I too had this issue, for me it was as simple as restoring a stock Nandroid backup I found on here, as my backup wouldn't work.

Also, I know it's obvious, but make sure your bootloader is re-locked!

That last photo shows you have modified your system partition. You won't be able to take the OTA with /system modified. Are you using Xposed? If you are, you need to open Xposed and uninstall any modules you have, then uninstall Xposed itself.

And this is obviously a wrong advise.
There is no need to relock bootloader for OTA.
Relocked bootloader is needed only for installing RUU and manual firmware flashing on S-On device.
I see your device is S-Off, you can try to install a RUU, keep in mind that your RUU must match your CID, but you can change your CID always if you want. I have superCID so I can install every RUU file.
thanks guys
i haven't installed exposed, but i think i installed sun plus o turn S-ON to S-OFF
i wish i could install original OTA.
i already relocked my bootloader.
so the only option for me is to install via RUU, is there anyway or a chance to use OTA udates and remove modified system ?
Back up your phone storage and data partition then flash this:

i just downloaded the OTA from the attached link, renamed it to 0P6BIMG.zip and moved the file to the root of my SD Card, and wen to the bootloader, and it started automatically to install, it took 10 mins. :good::good::good:
thank you guys for helping me out.
i just got one question, do i have to root my device agaiin ? do i have to make nandroid back for the recovery.img ???

Let's not confuse the ota with a full ruu. So my question is :
1: did you flash the ruu (full rom update utility)
2: flashed the ota (smaller size file, pure update to the existing software)
?
I had the same problem as the OP..So i tried to restore just the system from my back up using CWM..Now im stuck at the HTC logo screen after the reboot. Im not sure what to do.
That wasn't the ota you just flashed. That was an RUU which completely wipes everything. I hope you realise it's also wiped your internal memory too?

I couldnt flash the OTA...I got the red exclamation. So I tried to restore the system (using advanced restore)because I had put up the adblock. After which I was stuck in the loading screen.
Anyway I did a complete restore and flashed the stock recovery. Now its updating from the Eye Update.
Thanks for the quick reply though!

Why are you relocking bootloader while you're S-OFF?
Relocking bootloader for flashing RUU is needed only on S-ON devices.

How do I know whether I m using stock rom or custom .
And if I root my phone but didn't install custom rom so after unrooting will I get official updates
Thanks
No, unrooting is not enough. To quote myself from your other thread:
Flippy498 said:
Your system has to be not-rooted and mount as read-only. If you flash TWRP or install SuperSu it's mounted as read/write. Easiest way for you to recover the abiltity to install OTAs is flashing a RUU (if there is one for you actual firmware version). Boot to Download Mode and look at the line with OS at the beginning. Then search for a RUU that has the same version or a higher version. Only the SKU (= the number behind the second dot) has to be same. If the RUU you need is an *.exe then boot your phone to Download Mode, connect it to your PC, disable your internet connection (just for safety reasons), your firewall and your antivirus software (bith can interfere with a RUU) and execute the file as an admin. If the RUU is a *.zip then rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip, place it in the root directory of a SD card that is not bigger than 32gb and formatted to fat32, put the card into your phone, reboot to Download Mode and flash the file by pushing the volume up button.

You can check whether you're on a stock or a custom rom by looking at the software number in settings > about > software information. If you use a custom rom then its name and its version will be stated there (e.g. ViperOneM9 3.5.0 in my case).
This is a very bad thread name...

To get official updates you must unroot, flash stock recovery. and relock your phone, of course

This is not true. First there is no need to relock and second unrooting is not enough on the M9. You must either flash a RUU or an untouched TWRP backup. Otherwise you cannot recover the read-only state of your system and the update will fail.

If you haven't flash rom cook, then no need for RUU or backup, unless M9 is different from M8. While using M8 I return to stock many times, but haven't tried with M9. When I got M9, I went directly to rom cook because of overheating

That's the point. If you compare the M9 with the M8 there are completely different security checks implemented. You cannot update the M9 if you mounted it as read/write (e.g. by flashing SuperSu or installing a custom Rom) without flashing a RUU or restoring an untouched system image.

Thanks for the note. I'll pay attention if I want back to stock
Any idea why it fails to flash the 1/2 part of the update in the recovery? It's loading like 1/4 of the progress bar, and then the red warning sign appears. WWE Eu unlocked version. Also, the ruu to flash the 5.1 2.10.401.1 ( i tought it might work with a fresh install ) seems to be not working, as the process suddenly stops after i agree the terms of use and click continue ( i used the exe ).
It had been reverted to stock via a stock rom backup ( from xda, can't remember the exact thread ).
State: S-ON, bootloader relocked, never changed the CID, stock everything ( including the recovery, as i flashed the signed stock version via fastboot after the first failed update try).
Other than that, i don't really know what to do. Also, can i get another link for a 2.10.401.1 ruu ( it seems that it only gives me the 3.35.617.12 on the htc website )? .exe format ( ikr, i'm a noob )
All I can say is the update worked flawlessly on my totally stock phone but I'm yet to notice any significant difference..

I have the same problem and I am on stock never unlocked. After a chat with HTC they send me to a repair center ( "Might be a hardware problem") !!!!
George that can't be true! The employee was probably not in the mood to help you, because that's just utter bull****.

My phone is full stock. Was never unlocked. How can I install a fresh rom?
Just to be clear. The update takes ages and reboots many times. Do not touch the phone until it has fully started.
If you get the htc logo after unlocking the screen just leave it for a minute or two.

If you are still with a 2.x firmware, you won't be able to run a Sense Marshmallow rom that needs your firmware to be upgraded. So, two solutions :
- You wait until the official upgrade is available in your country, install it and then you'll be able to flash a Sense Marshmallow rom
- Or you turn your phone S-off and install a 3.x firmware before to flash.
FYI, AOSP Marshmallow roms doesn't need any firmware upgrade (as there are no HTC Sense dependencies), I tried CM13 with 2.10 firmware, it was working perfectly.
i have the same problem.

He said "S-ON, bootloader relocked, never changed the CID, stock everything ( including the recovery, as i flashed the signed stock version via fastboot after the first failed update try)". If the device is completely reverted to stock and official update is available in your country, why not to install OTA?

Mine is with original OS, locked, s-on and I still have this problem with OTA update. HTC said could be a problem with first download (something corrupted) and now can be solved only with manual update in service. Have anyone any idea how can be done that at home? I don't want to send my phone to service.
Sorry for my English!
The problem was solved. It took me 6 hours to manage this. All you need to do is re flash the stock backup with TWRP.
Thank you all developers on this forum !!!

This should be logical. Even to flash yourself the firmware from your country, need to be s-off so I think he turned s-off.

You always need to use the one that corresponds to your current firmware version. As explained in my instructions the firmware version of your phone is stated in Download Mode. Be sure you follow every step exactly as I wrote it. If you don't do that it's no miracle that you can't restore the ability to install OTAs.
Hi everybody,
I have the htc e9w, and I'm currently on the orignal rom version of 1.35.709.2. I have root premiision on my device and I have an annoying ota update notification which drives me crazy. It asks me to update to version 1.41.709.6 , but of course I can't since I've unlocked my bootloader.
So my question is, Is there's an option to update to the newer version? I don't care if it requiers wiping the decive, just another solution beside sunshine, I'm not going to invenst any more money on this piece of junk (I used to love HTC until now)
Or is there's a custom rom for this foreign device?
Thanks for the helpers.
Hi
You can install the OTA even if you are unlocked and s-off. It does not matter. The only thing you need is the stock recovery. If you have TWRP installed on your device, just flash the stock recovery ( it is in the forum ) and install the OTA.
If you think that you have to be locked, you can easily lock your device with only one command ( fastboot oem lock or relock i think ) and then you can easily be unlocked by using the same unlock.bin or the htc developer web site.
Thx

Hi, thanks for your help but I couldn't find any stock recovery for my version. my cid is 621 for as far I've understand it's from taiwan.
the only recovery that "suits" my device location is - recovery_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.45.707.5.zip, but it is another version from what I have ( 1.35.709.2) so can I use it?

Yes, you can use it. You can find others at here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3285886
You can also find a compatible recovery.img in the OTA file that you have downloaded. Copy the OTA.zip from your downloads folder to your PC, extract the zip and you will find recovery.img inside the firmware.zip.

I have an htc with green arrow logo, but it got stuck in the middle and I see a red traingle.
