Hi,
I hope someone can help me. My HTC 1 (UK, Unlocked) was rooted and had TWRP. The 1.80.401 update is now out, so I did the following:
-Restored Stock System
-Restored Stock Recoverd
-Factory reset the phone
-Download the update
Now after the download, the phone reboots and the OTA is applied, but it gets to 25% then displayed a strange red exclamation mark. I can reboot, and the phone still works but the software hasnt been upgraded.
Could someone please help me? I have no idea what the issue is.
Many thanks

Flash The 1.80 RUU

I have a HTC desire that I rooted a while ago with Unrevoked3. I did this so I could run Titanium backup and have a backup of all my apps and data.
Yesterday, I received a notifiction from my operator (Meteor in Ireland) that there was an update so I clicked on install.
It didn't install as the recovery told me the signature couldn't be verified (I assumed because I had rooted it) so I went into recovery, turned off signature verification and selected the ip frm the SD card o update.
The phone then proceeded to constantly reboot on th green letering HT screen with quietly brilliant under it. I lef it hour and even remoed the battery for an hour and tried again but no better.
I tried to reboot into recovery but get a picture of a phone with a red exclamaion mak in a triangle.
So, I can't boot my phone and I can't get into recovery.
Help!!!!!!
This is because you can't apply an OTA update to a rooted phone without ****ing things up - this is about the 10000000000000000000000000000000th thread on this so it's well documented
Only way around it is to manually flash the OTA ZIP file again (but it still might not work 100%) or get the RUU for your operator, if available, and flash it and start from scratch
Thanks for your speedy & not so subtle reply - guess I deserved that!
Could you point me to a thread of how to go about doing that without recovery?
Without knowing the ROM version you were on originally out the box/are on now there's not a lot that can be done. I can't say I've ever seen an RUU from your operator so it might be like the Orange users where one simply hasn't been leaked. I also don't know what the OTA file name is. If I did I could at least get a link to manually download it. There's a chance it's still on your SD card
If you boot into recovery is it the stock Android one?
I can't boot into recovery - I get picture of phone with red exclamation mark on it.
Meteor are an Irish operator. Verys mall so I am amazed they produce their own customized roms!
At the red ! hold volume up and press power - this will get you into the stock Recovery...not that it helps you!
You might need to try and make a gold card and flash a stock WWE ROM instead
I downloaded this exe RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
and ran it on the PC - my phone is now back up and running!
Many thanks.
If you ran that without a gold card then you're not branded - which a good thing!!
Hi,
Got a notification on my Desire HD (unlocked/unbranded) stating a new update is available. I Downloaded the ~44 MB update, clicked ok to update,
This is what happens:
System Shutdown
Sestarts
HTC green logo comes on..
Android icon with box and arrow appears.. the progress indicator goes upto about 25%,
then : the box changes to a triangle with an exclamation mark...
and then nothing happens..at one attempt for upto 3 hours..
I have to pull the battery out...restart..
I've tried this many times to no joy.
Had Visionary with perm root installed, unistalled it, factory reset the phone, went into recovery mode and deleted dalvik cache... still no joy.
I did, moons ago, used Titanium backup to remove (not freeze) some apps I knew I'd never use... could that be causing the problem?.
Is it possible to revert to a stock rom from HTC... how?..
If not, is there a way to install this upgrade?. I'm not too fussed about Rooting... can wait till someone figures it out for this upgrade..
Thanks.
Riz
Seems like the PermRoot breaks the update.
There are countless other threads saying basically the same.
Installed Visionary+, Rooted, Removed HTC apps, OTA Update doesn't work.

You could try installing via bootloader, but your DHD would return to factory settings.
Download This ROM. Rename it to PD98IMG.zip and place on your SD Card.
Turn off your DHD (Disable FastBoot) and power on holding VOL DOWN.
Your DHD will then apply the update itself. With the new update you will not be able to root, HTC have fixed the exploit Visionary+ used. A new method to root will have to be found.
Thanks Andy.
I downloaded the stock firmware from : xdafil_es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe
replace _ after xdafil with a .
Connected the phone to my laptop, dbl clicked on the exe, it flashed the phone back to this stockk firmware...
Phone re-booted re-virginized. the OTA worked then.
Ofcourse, Visionary, Titanium don't work anymore, but, guess its a matter of time!!!
Thank you
thank you for the help, worked here
thanks for the solution!

Could you tell me where EXACTLY you see this?
When it restarts to do the update it just shows the Green android holding an exclamation mark, indicating an error.
Have u done all the Pre-requisites?
1) S-Off
2) Install CWM Recovery
3)Install rom ??
I don´t know that much about the logging part - maybe there is some adb command...
I flashed my O2 DHD a few months ago, maybe I can help you with the procedure. Could you provide a few more details? (E.g. are you on stock O2 ROM / is your device still branded / are you trying to update via OTA / did you try to redownload the update / ... )
Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to update my phone for the 5th time to Lollipop.
I have a rooted HTC One M8 with a custom flashed recovery (which I did ages ago, with the assist of a tutorial on youtube).
I think I need help trying to reflash the recovery back to stock, I tried to reflash the recovery myself but I still get the same red triangle w/ exclamation error. I am too much of a newbie with this stuff to fix it myself and I find myself in a place where I don't know how to update!! :crying:
Could anyone please link me to a guide on how to reflash the recovery to stock? I really have no idea what I am doing
Many thanks
You are rooted. The Lollipop OTAs check for any changes in /system, and root is definitely a change. Even if it wasn't, most of the stuff you would do as root will make a change. There are ways to get around that, but the easiest way is to unroot and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, then RUU back to stock (or restore a backup that isn't rooted) and try it again.
I don't know what your skill level is, but the update will inform you which file it failed on if you really want to try to fix it. However, it can quickly become a massive PITA if you really use your root privileges.

That is stock recovery. You just need to press VOL UP button and POWER button to get into recovery when you see that screen.
I'm trying to fix my HTC One m8 phone. I tried updating it to the latest software update and I am now stuck on an infinite loop with a red triangle and exclamation mark.
I've never done anything to the phone (it's completely stock as far as I'm aware) and I've only ever updated via the settings menu.
I'm really not sure what to do from here.. I'm completely confused as I've never rooted a phone but it's now useless. How can I get it to work again? From the internet I've worked out how to get to the menu.. which gives me the following options:
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe data / factory reset (I tried this option.. didn't help)
Wipe cache partition (tried doing this.. didin't help)
Power off
it also says:
handle_cota_install: No CW files.(There is other text but it goes off screen)
When I went into bootloader it says software status: official then ***LOCKED***" also S-ON
Does anyone have any idea on what to do?
Many thanks for the help!
