Ok, i've got no ota update so i downloaded and put zip file on root sd card directory..
now, what should i do?
i don't know
thanks
It should update itself, when you check for updates, just go to settings, about, software update and do that from there, is should bring up a window saying that an update is ready ti be installed.

You should put the ota file in folder name Download, create it if does not exists. make sure OTA file you downloaded is for your phones CID.
I think you guys have no clue ! And if you are on stock rom and the ota didn't hit you.....its not out for you. Learn what you are doing ! You can't "just" go flash around like that !!!
Are you on stock rom ?
Are you on stock recovery ?
Are you on stock kernel ?
I would like to restore my stock recovery on 1.56.720.6, im unable to find this one on xda, My other option is to extract it from the OTA but there is no link anywhere to download that, can someone help me with this?
EDITL downloaded from htcdev site its a 100mb file do I flash the whole thing using super tool? if so which option should I pick to flash or goto CWM and flash from zip?
does my bootloader need to be locked before I do this?
anyone?
Is that download actually firmware or the OTA update?... I think it's only source code? Did you download it and check in the .zip file what the actual contents are before you just go and flash random .zip files with your version number on it?
As for stock recovery, correct, I can't find that stock recovery either. Just like with the OTA update most guys that get it don't bother making backup and sharing before doing anything.

They don't specify on the HTC site but when I unzip it there is a .tar file inside it, so I assume its either the ota or kernel source which someone more experienced than me can tell me.
Here's the link its filed as a zip under HTC one m8 devices

I know (or have read several times) that you can extract a stock recovery from an OTA...
Does anyone have a link to a thread which describes the path? I checked in the most recent OTA, and I couldn't find it... If it is in the firmware.zip, I am not sure if I know how to open this file.
Any links/suggestions appreciated.

Hello,
The recovery is in the firmware.zip. I use winrar to extract the files. Hope that helps.

Copy file from download_rom folder after ota download
I'm looking for a TWRP stock system image for 2.41.617.3 as I didn't make a copy of it after I did the update. Does anyone have a copy?
