Update to android 4.2.2

Hello,
I am currently running android 4.1.1 with software number; 3.14.401.31.
When I check for updates it shows the software update: 3.20.401.1 (35.66 MB).
When I press install now my phone reboots itself and starts in recovery mode.
When it's loaded it shows the following error:
E: unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARD: Download/OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.20.401.1-3.14.401.31_R_release_314818virsindn3qwws1r3.zip]
E: Can't mount INTERNALSDCARD: Download/OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.20.401.1-3.14.401.31_R_release_314818virsindn3qwws1r3.zip
Installation aborted.
Ofc I can download the OTA zipfile from the internet, but then I have the following problem; when I connect my phone to usb:
My own pc cannot find my phone. When I try to connect my phone to an other pc, it also cannot find my phone.
Hope someone can help me out.
Not unimportant: I have rooted my phone and I have unlocked the bootloader.
Maybe I have to relock the bootloader at first?

if you have SU binaries etc in system then install from market or so voodoo keeper then save root and uninstall root binaries then go to fastboot flash stock recovery for your base number like 3.14.401.31...you can get it if you search then relock bootloader and download and install the ota
Are you on stock recovery ?
To receive and successfully install OTA updates you need:
Unlocked or Locked bootloader - doesn't matter
Rooted or Not Rooted - doesn't matter
STOCK ROM
STOCK KERNEL
STOCK RECOVERY
If you have there 3 things than you should be able to install OTAs with no problems
get stock recovery for your particular CID from "Nandroid Backup Collection" thread and flash it in fastboot command prompt. i've gone through this exercise recently.
or you can get your stock recovery from here as well....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
just find your cid, download and extract recovery.img

[Q] [Problem] Write host_mod: 0 done - Check cid failed! - Stock Recovery

I'm going to update OTA via Stock Recovery but when i go into the recovery, after showing red triangle, it shows these lines:
"Device_CW_Install: Can't mount /cwprop
Device_CW_Install: No CW files. Skip cw installation.
Write host_mod: 0 done"
And when i choose "apply from phone storage" it writes:
"Check cid failed!
--invalid operation--"
And restarts
What should i do to update?
=> Rooted - Tampered - 2.11.708.2 - S-ON
You can't manual update with S-On device.
Restore your stock 2.11.708.2 ROM and its recovey, check for update, let the system install OTA
Thanks,
I've done this before but nothing happened... just 2 minutes after start installing update through stock recovery, it shows red triangle
Should i be unrooted to do this?
last time i've updated it was unlocked and rooted
red triangle means some files are missing, modified or have unexpected contents.
You need pure stock to do OTA.
You can use my backup and stock recovery if you want to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56544097&postcount=2738

How To Restore TWRP 3.0.0-2 Backup

Hi everyone,
Specs:
HTC M9 T-Mobile (Running Marshmallow 6)
unlocked (htcdev)
Rooted (superSU installed via TWRP)
Tried installing ARHD 20 ROM but was not successful. After all applications get optimized, I see the htc logo on white but I do have the volume up and and down keys working as if the OS is loaded but sense is not working correctly. If I hit the power button I also have the power off and reboot option.
Anyways I want o roll back to my TWRP backup. When I goto restore and pick my backup, TWRP says:
Cannot restore System -- mounted read only
I understand that the new TWRP by default asked me whether to mount in read only or read/write.
So in order to restore my backup, do I have to go into Mount/ and uncheck "Mount system partition read-only"
What impact will doing that have on my ability to restore to stock in the future?
Try reading the FAQ in the twrp thread. Think you can find it there
I have read the faq in twrp guide and it doesn't get into the issue.
Flash via fastboot. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3087354

HTC M8 One stuck on startup screen.

I had problem with my HTC M8 One not being to update Android. It downloaded Android (~1.16GB) and after I tried to install it a Red Triangle with an exclamation mark appeared. After I restarted the phone the same "popup" appears telling me that there is an available System Update. I tried to update my phone several times but the same problems appeared.
Alright I thought, let's be one of the cool guy and flash my phone.
First I unlocked my bootloader following the instructions from htcdev.com. (It says "unlocked")
After that I followed the instructions on this site: wccftech.com/ how-to-update-htc-one-m8-to-android-6-custom-rom/ and now I can't get past the startup-screen. It also has a message in red saying "This build is for development purpose only ..." after following the step "fastboot reboot".
Right now nothing really seems to work and I'm not sure how to be able to proceed.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Tomas

First can you Boot into FASTBOOT mode ( to boot into fastboot mode turn off the phone and turn on holding volume down button)
Second if you boot into fastboot mode can you go into recovery?
FIrst let me explain where I'm at now and what I did. I downloaded a ROM that was, supposedly, made for my carrier (Telcel) and CID (HTC__332) so I downloaded that file, renamed it to 0P6BIMG and moved it to the root folder of the SD card. When I started up the bootloader it started to check for that file and then it said "Checking." for a while and then the text "Press <POWER> to reboot." appeared over the "Checking" text: i64.tinypic.com/ 317d1ep.jpg
Then after restart this appears: i65.tinypic.com/ 1194d5k.jpg
It restarts and the same screen but with the text "Entering Recovery..." appears: i63.tinypic.com/ 33vitn4.jpg
And after that it restarts once again to the screen without the "Entering recovery" and it goes on like this forever until there is no battery. During this step I can't access the bootloader or anything.
Now that my battery drained out and I'm starting it up to the bootloader and the "Recovery" it looks like this:
Bootloader: i67.tinypic.com/ 2lw4y15.jpg
After recovery: i68.tinypic.com/ inhnrs.jpg
It stays under the "Entering Recovery..." screen and nothing happens.
Also did "fastboot erase cache" (under FASTBOOT USB) and then started "RECOVERY" again with no success as you mentioned in this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=2265290
Actually I cannot view the pics from the link as iam not on my computer. I'll check the pics one I reach home
Tell me what your bootloder says on top (locked , unlocked or relocked)
Try deleting the ROM file from your root of SD card ( make sure you have the backup of that file on your PC ) and then check if you boot into fastboot/ recovery.

Your firmware is too low to run current Custom ROM and too low to use latest TWRP version. That's why it stuck.
Go to this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Read post #1 all the 14 steps
Restore 1.12.600.20 non-rooted backup and install 4.32.600.2 stock recovery (because 1.12.600.20 stock recovery is not available)
then reboot and do OTA to 4.32.600.2 then to 6.17.600.3
I can't personally guide you because I'm away on holiday and be back only on 15/7

Thanks for your help!
Following your step I should install 4.32.600.2 but I get a "Failed" message. Also according to step 11 I should "11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery x.xxx.xx.x_recovery.img" but under that stock recovery (4.32.600.2) I can't find an image file, just a ZIP file.
I'm not really sure what to do but I managed to install TWRP and restore 1.12.600.20 but I'm stuuck now on the stock recovery.
I see that I have "S-ON" and I was wondering if that might cause any problems? (Reading about it on this page: www.addictivetips.com/mobile/ what-is-s-off-how-to-gain-it-on-htc-android-phones-with-unrevoked-forever/ )
Steps from the beginning:
1. Installed twrp 2.8.1.0 (for 1.xx.xxx.x & 2.xx.xxx.x TWRP backup, in this case 1.12.600.20)
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Jefecito\Downloads\twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
sending 'recovery' (16576 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.746s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.987s]
finished. total time: 2.733s
2. Downloaded TWRP backup 1.12.600.20
3. Downloaded Stock Recovery 4.32.600.2
4. Extracted 1.12.600.20_ckpv5.zip (It contains a variety of win and m5 files)
5. Backup "Boot". According to TWRP the Bacukup Folder is: /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/SH46..../2017-07-03--18-21-10 LRX22G release-keys/
6b. (No OS) Verifies that MPT is enabled.
7. I transferred the extracted folder "1.12.600.20" to the SD card. Note: I mounted the SD card as a USB Storage as it didn't allow to transfer big files and then I unmounted it.
8. I made a wipe and selected "Dalvik Cache, "Cache", "Data" and "System" and it completed without any error message.
9. I made a restore (TWRP -> Restore -> Selected the "1.12.600.20" folder) and it was it was 2076 MB big. "Boot", "Data" and "System" was ticked.
10. I rebooted the device and selected "Do not install". It rebooted do the startup screen and I could see the carrier image.
It stopped working there. I restarted the device and a windows saying "Android is updraging..." popped up. After that I had a working Android 4.x version.
11. I installed the "4.32.600.2_recovery" and tried to reinstall the OTA System Update but after the reboot it now stops at the startup screen again. When I turn it off using Power + Volume Up it automatically restars so I'm having problem accessing the Bootloader.
12. After some attempts I managed to access the Bootloader and installed twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img.
13. I wiped everything as in step 8.
14. I "Restored" backup 1.12.600.20.
15. Now it booted up okay with the old Android version, as expected, and it said "Android is upgrading...".
16. I made a stock recovery to 4.32.600.2_recovery.img. From my understanding OTA will not work without the stock recovery.
17. I restarted the phone and tried an OTA update (4.32.600.2) but after the restart it got stuck under the "Startup Screen". The "Update" icon (the green circle and the red one with an exclamation mark when an error occurrs) never appeared, just directly to the startup screen.
After that I restored it again and decided to give it a break.
Later I will try the RUU file from HTC.

Help with downgrade

Hi all, I have a rooted fire tv with cwm recovery and rbox boot menu, with software ver 51.1.5.3 on it. I have decided I would like to revert the box back to stock. I'm trying to downgrade the box to ver 51.1.4.0 and then follow this guide to unroot. http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-unroot-a-fire-tv-and-switch-back-to-stock-updates-from-amazon/ , however when I reboot into recovery and attempt to install the zip file, I get an error, unable to open file, I have downloaded software from atvnews and one other site, both give same error. I also tried to use one of the downgrade script tools, however it failed also. Any ideas why I can't get a successful downgrade? thanks.
Update: I'm not sure what went wrong, but now when I try to reboot into recovery via adb reboot , or via selecting launch recovery from the rbox boot menu, it just goes to a screen that says "The system update was unsucessful, your device will reboot in few minutes and should resume normal operation"
Nevermind, solved.
