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.
Thanks.
Just flash the RUU, update OTA and reroot.
Alright, will do and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks

I have exactly the same problem and I dont know what to do!
I'd like to just flash the Android Revolution HD JB ROM but im scared of bricking my phone and there is no easy guide to accomplish this - the guides ive seen on youtube are for other ROMS...
So, now that JB is out OTA for my stock ROM I want to update to it but I get stuck...
All ive done is unlock my bootloader - Ive never even flashed a custom ROM!
Wish I'd never done it now...way too complex

If you only unlocked the bootloader the update should run fine !!! If it fails you did change some more !

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 !

I unlocked the bootloader (HTCDev)
I flashed CWR...
That was it (I am running a different launcher but that makes no different right??)
How do I get the RUU for Vodafone UK? Is that the stock ROM? Sorry, I am not very good with this stuff...I was okay at rooting my Desire HD but this is another level

You need to flash the stock recovery !
Do this command
Fastboot getvar version-main
If a number pops up starting with 2.17 you need to flash back this recovery
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
And yes you did more than just unlock the bootloader, be specific .... it's necessary for this phone otherwise it gets confusing !

But I still have the stock ROM. I never flashed a custom ROM. I wanted to flash a JB rom, thats why i rooted...then I discovered that my CID was not capable of getting a JB ROM so I just left it rooted but on stock voda ROM...
Doesn't matter .... Did u read my post above yours ....
Last time .....
You need stock rom,stock kernel, STOCK RECOVERY....not the custom cwm recovery. That's why the update fails. :thumbup:

Yes, I thought i flashed stock before but am about to confirm
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

Yes, sorry - i did read it and it did say 2.17xxx...I downloaded the recovery you pointed me to but expect i need to re-unlock the bootloader. (I re-locked it before thinking that was causing the issue...)
Anyway, soon I should know if this works
By the way, I really appreciate you helping me - i've been trying to sort this out all evening!

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 Guys,
I am currently on Shpongle and want to move back to stock. Reason being frequent hanging and sluggishness. I have installed the swap performance updates and greenify, but still at times, the phone gets the better of my patience.
MY Questions:
1. How do I go back to stock? I dont think I have the stock nandroid backup. I have the Unlock_code.bin that was sent by HTC.
2. Is there a lightweight Sense ROM? I like the camera, and looks, but I dont like the friendfeed and stuff.
Thanks.

You can use myONEv RC9.5FX+ or Ignorance X for a lighter Sense ROM. You can remove the bloatware with titanium backup as well.

A few questions about it
Sorry for my mistake, please remove it
Hi people.
My device is curretly like this:
N9005
Knox 0x1
TWRP recovery
Stock Kernel
Stock ROM 4.4.2
I would like to return completly to stock. I know I won't be able to be Knox 0x0 again but I want the stock recovery, kernel and ROM.
My question is: can I simply restore the firmware in Kies to get back to stock (including the recovery)?
Stock Rom: http://www.idroidspace.com/primou-original-stock-rom-for-htc-one-v-android-4-0-3-ics/
Stock Kernel and Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1221449&d=1343236979
I can't tell you if this stock rom is the original one by htc or with some modifications, I only found it and there are much more ruu uploads out there.

Thanks for the links. I have a problem. I decided I want to go back to comfortable stock ROM. I used a custom ROM, on a rooted HTC One V (GSM - Primo U). I followed the intructions: First I installed stock kernel and stock recovery. After I relocked the bootloader. I downloaded the RUU file according to my region (there are 4 european RUU version???). I connected my phone to computer and run the downloaded setup and followed the steps. Only after I started the update process, the progress bar stopped moving (before entering bootloader - the HTC One V didn't reboot into bootloader) and I got an error (155) message. What may be the problem? I have tried the all RUU files according to my region.
Thanks in advance,

First, install a custom recovery again. Then do a full wipe and install the rom you downloaded (PrimoU_Europe_2.22.401.1_Stock_Rooted_ODEX_FULL.zip or PrimoU_Europe_2.22.401.1_Stock_Rooted_ODEX_LITE.zip) with the custom recovery like you would install a custom rom. Then reboot to fastboot and flash boot.img (not boot-signed.img because this didn't work for me). Try to reboot and if everything works you may install recovery_signed.img, but this is only useful for ota updates, which obviously the hov doesn't get anymore.

Thanks. Yesterday I've installed the PrimoU_Europe_2.22.401.1_Stock_Rooted_ODEX_FULL.zip ROM, everything O.K., but there is no WIFI on my phone. So I decided to use the RUU. So I don't use boot_signed.img. Which boot.img can I use. Do you send me one?

Do you mean you have an unlocked boatloader and you want to relock it? You need to use ADB/fastboot on a P.C. with your phone in hboot/fastboot mode and enter"fastboot oem lock" into your command prompt window in the ADB folder then your boatloader will relock. You would also need to be on your stock recovery as well with your system unrooted and stock with no alterations to your system files to then do stock updates. Hope this helps.

If it's your boatloader you are referring to "locking" and you originally "unlocked" it you just need to use ADB/fastboot and the command prompt I gave you with your phone in hboot/fastboot mode and USB debugging enabled in your developer settings on your phone to "relock" your boatloader. As long as you're on stock recovery and haven't modified any system files you will be able to do stock updates after that. Hopefully that's what your wanting to do and I'm not just misunderstanding what your wanting and if I am I apologize.

Yes I believe those 2 mods change your system files to allow their codecs to work so they are modifications. Root, Xposed frameworks,WP.mod_ko to enable system write permissions etc... all can be modifications that need to be "undone" before updating a signed stock OTA or signed RUU( Rom update utility). Unsigned stock firmware in the form of compiled zips or TRWP/CWM nandroid backups supposedly need less to be stock but I have never restored from anything but "signed" stock RUU's so YMMV. I personally don't want to flash someone's personal nandroid backup to my phone because I don't know what if anything isn't "stock" on it.
That's a personal philosophy and I know they upload them for a reason to help those who can't find a signed update or use one but as long as I can I will because when you flash someone else's personal backup you flash the good and the bad, if any. Hopefully you backed up your stock rom before flashing Cyanogen mod , as I have it in my phone as well, and then you can just restore it when you want, reflash your stock recovery, lock your boatloader, unroot and then do any stock OTA's. I also believe you can flash your stock recovery , unroot in Cyanogen mod, remove mods and flash a stock RUU over your current ROM but I've also never personally done that . I just restore my stock backup , reflash my stock recovery, unroot, lock my boatloader and do stock update that way.
Best advice I ever got here was to backup and keep my stock ROM in a nandroid backup to micro SD card before any flashing of new custom roms, find your stock zip or RUU exe and save it to your computer just in case and the same for your stock recovery because you never know when you might need it and I have. Multiple times and it's all in a folder on my computer. If it's a U.S. variant the RUU's are on HTC's website. If not most are found online. Just don't flash the wrong firmware or it could brick your device.

Yes , as long as you don't "dirty flash" over Cyanogen mod with your stock backup. Always do a factory reset before flashing between different roms then wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery before reboot into system. You also need your stock recovery flashed back as well before locking your boatloader. Otherwise I use TWRP.

Hello,
I have a HTC M8 rooted (Super SU) with TWRP Recovery and Android ver. 5.0.1, Software ver. 4.19.111.4, Baseband ver. 1.25.2145000021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F.
Last couple of days, I received a notification to update for android 6.0, but after I downloaded the update and press to "install now", the phone always restarted to TWRP recovery and do not install the update. Any Idea Why ?!!!.
Could any one help me to install the update?

Replace the recovery to stock recovery and relock the bootloader. If you installed the modified firmware, reflash the stock firmware, you will be good

how to replace recovery with the stock one. Where I can find it.
Do i lose all my application data doing so.
No, I am using the stock firmware, so I suppose no need to reflash it.

Here you should find the stock recoveries: http://www.andromods.com/download-files/htc-one-m8-stock-recovery-verizon-sprint-att-tmobile.html
download the right recovery.img file and follow these instruction on how to flash - http://androiding.how/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-via-fastboot/ - in this just change the twrp recovery.img to the one you downloaded and run the code in command prompt.
It is recommended to do I clean install to avoid any further reported errors. Once you relock the bootloader you will lose all the data (like hard reset).

Unfortunately, I could not find the right stock recovery in the link you provided, so I use another one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
However, I have to ask, if I am on stock firmware; only rooted through SuperSU and with TWRP recovery,
do I need to reinstall (reflash) or restore to sotck firmware as in steps # 7 to 9 in the post (link) I added, or
can I directly flash the stock recovery and then relock the bootloder and start downloading the update 6.0
Thank.

However, I have to ask, if I am on stock firmware; only rooted through SuperSU and with TWRP recovery,
do I need to reinstall (reflash) or restore to sotck firmware as in steps # 7 to 9 in the post (link) I added, or
can I directly flash the stock recovery and then relock the bootloder and start downloading the update 6.0
Thank.

First thing .. you cannot do OTA with a rooted stock ROM, you need a non-rooted ROM.
Secondly .. there is no need to relock bootloader - read the note in my thread.
Just read again post #1 and follow all the 14 steps, you should be fine.
Anything, you can ask in my thread as I'm not following your thread.

Oh wow yes sorry relock bootloader by fastboot oem lock. Also if you changed your cid should match the ruu you want to flash.

If you don't know how to revert back to stock HTC firmware, you have no business flashing custom ROMs. Plus....did you even google your inquiry? No.
Search the forums.

Did you unlock the bootloader yourself? If so, you know enough about fastboot to relock the bootloader.
Also, if you do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number) we can see the CID, and determine what RUU (if that CID has one).
Or the other option to go back to Sense Marshmallow, is to restore a stock TWRP backup as suggested. Here is another thread of such stock TWRP backups, and this one has better instructions:

EDIT: Fixed the link above, which was clearly not the right one (intended for a reply to a different thread).

While the post was not particularly polite (nor is he required to be so), I do agree with the main point: if you are flashing custom ROMs, you really should have researched how to return to stock. I see that a lot of folks skip this (you aren't the only one, by far), but I also don't see why they do. Would you take apart your car's engine without knowing how to put it back together? Probably not.
Along those basic lines (good rules of thumb for phone modding), if you had simply made your own backup of the stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM; you could simply just restore that backup in order to revert to stock. It's a basic good practice: never do any mods (root, custom ROM) without first making a TWRP backup.

Thank you and yes. I should have known better before flashing an RR ROM I didn't search for it because i thought it was simple
But are you saying that i can download another stock ROM TWRP backup and flash it and i'd good to go or i have to get the right RUU ?

Modding phones is not simple. You should research and understand everything properly, before you do any mods to any device. Maybe all the YouTube guides and one-click root apps make phone modding look easy, but it's really not a trivial thing.
Maybe it's just my own personality. But to me, it's basic logic that you shouldn't tinker with an electronic device that cost hundreds of dollars, without having some backup plans, knowing how to undo the mods, etc.

You can do either (restore stock TWRP backup vs. run RUU). That is, assuming your version M8 has an RUU, not all do (and you haven't given any info that would allow us to determine that).
I already said that restoring a stock TWRP backup was an option, and it was also suggested by another (Post #8 above). So I don't now what you asked that question. Obviously it's something you can do; otherwise why would we say it was?
Keep in mind that a stock TWRP backup is not exactly the same as a flashable ROM. You need to extract the files, save them to the proper place on the phone, then use the RESTORE option in TWRP (as opposed to INSTALL for flashable ROMs). The process (and required files) can be found on the following thread (I tried to give this link above, but linked it improperly - so here it is again):

That's good. You can even try different Sense ROMs, not necessarily going back to stock ROM. :angel:

I wish I could try Resurrection Remix too. but unfortunately I cant use all of Naugat ROMs
Why dont you also try some of the ROMs other then pure M8 ROM, e.g. M10 Sense ROM etc? I am running M10 ROM and its fantastic.
I always be with the positive and jolly vibes and encourage others to be like this
