[Q] Can't update (rooted HTC One) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I am a bit stuck with something on my HTC and I thought I would try to get some answers here as people seem very knowledgeable!
I recently rooted my HTC One and everything was going well. Yesterday a message came through to my phone that there is an update available so i downloaded and tried to install. Unfortunately it will not unstall on my phone - it just goes into the mod recovery screen. Is there a way of installing the file via the custom mod recovery screen or am i missing something?
Thanks if anyone can offer any advice!

You need stock recovery to install official updates

I advise flash a custom rom, because is better then a rom stock with root!
And you can personalize it with mod and other, a lot of mod will not work

Sure sounds like he does.
You need stock recovery to flash the update.

this all seems a bit long.
I have TWRP on my stock Sense ROM 4.1, also getting these OTA update to 4.2.2 prompts, which I would like for the new camera features and quick toggles.
Don't really want to have to flash default to remove TWRP then update then have to install TWRP again.
Can you not somehow apply this using TWRP another way, other than OTA? Is the update not available as a package that can be flashed with TWRP?

Ok cheers for into, don't think I will go that route.
I was just reading about this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390346
So I'm considering this, I am on stock Sense and have TWRP so think good to go with that one, which I guess has those new features.
I'll just have to install my apps again eh.
Also read that 4.3 is notably faster too, so think I should upgrade to it

I think that rom in your link will work well for you! I was in no way advocating the OTA, just trying to help you do what you said you wanted to. In my opinion, if you're custom, you don't go back to stock for an OTA, so good choice! Good luck.....
yeah I know what you mean
I did just d/l that ROM and seemed decent but I've just restored my backup to Sense again, I didn't want to lose the Zoe functionality of the camera.
Probably keep on the old 4.2 for a while longer then and go without the features 4.3 offers

Update doesn't work after root htc one

I receive.. the updates.. but when reboot enter in recovery and the update fail.. is normal.. i have something to set.. or to do more?

Thanks for fast reply

I don't think you can install a factory update via custom recovery. I might be wrong though. Someone smarter than me will surely chime in if I'm wrong.

If you're already on 4.2.2 I HIGHLY doubt you need it. IF it's a firmware update, then it might include things like a new screen touchpad update (which I don't recommend installing because it could possibly break your custom recovery) and a new radio file and irl. The most important part of that is the radio update and I wouldn't even really call it "important". More like USEFUL then anything else. So what you can do and what I recommend you do is: don't worry about your failed update. Find the latest radio.zip (flashable through custom recovery) file and install it. Let me know if you need help!

In order to receive and install an OTA update you need to have stock recovery... you have a custom recovery (CWM) which is why the update fails.
You have 3 options..... search, find and flash the stock recovery for your device, flash a custom rom based on 2.24.401.8 or stay as you are.
For radios this link is a list of all the radios released for the One, each can be flashed through CWM recovery.

[Q] HTC Root Help

Hi all, I done a search but seems the answers aren't making sense to me.
I have an O2 HTC One.
Basically I unlocked my bootloader successfully and then I installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and booted into this and installed Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip. Phone rebooted and no issues.. I downloaded Root Checker and it says I am not rooted at all and gives me no notification to allow SuperUser access. Any idea whats wrong ? Everything is stock and I know people are going to say why root on stock rom, its just a beginnner thing for me! I need to get my head around simple things like this.
Thanks

Flashed that and rooted no problem Thanks ALOT!. :good::good:
What I would like to learn is why Superuser didnt work when flashed by TWRP
These quirks happens. Can be a conflict somewhere. Atleast we have several rooting tools when things happens.

[Q] HTC One Mini 2 Demo Unit, any way to remove demo mode?

Hi Guys!
So I got my hands on an HTC One Mini 2 Demo Unit. Don't ask me how or why. (NOT STOLEN!)
I have tried to get rid of the Demo mode app but without success.
This is what I have done:
Unlocked the bootloader
Flashed TWRP
This is what I have tried to do to get rid of the demo mode:
Wiping and factory reset from TWRP. About 1 minute after the phone has booted it autoinstalls the Demo Mode again. Before it does all functions is available etc, after the demo mode is installed some options and functions is disabled.
Rooted, Installed Xposed and module BootManager to stop Demo Mode from booting, no success the demo app still starts upon boot
Tried to uninstall the app with various root uninstallers, they just fail.
Tried wiping ALL partitions etc from TWRP and restored an original HTC One Mini 2 system dump from another thread, same thing. After about one minute the Demo application autoinstalls itself and some functions is diabled and the annoying demo mode starts now and then, and blinkfeed is full of sh*t, demo contacts etc.
After I reboot all settings etc is restored to it's original state.
Any ideas how I can force the phone not to install the demo mode after reset?
Thanks!
Update: Flashing the Cyanogenmod firmware from another thread does not install the demo mode and the phone works as it should. I can call etc. But I only have 3G not 4G, don't know if it has to do with the sim or not (borrowed a nano-sim from a collegues iPhone 5s).
But anyhow I would like to have the HTC firmware instead, any ideas?
Maybe someone has another system dump/ruu/firmware or any of the sort I can try. Perhaps the firmware I tried in the other thread also was a demo-firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55107684&postcount=6)

As you probably figured it was an app in the ROM so installing a custom ROM or reverting back to stock will get rid of the problem (as you've already done it)

Thank you for your answer. I have however tried to restore the original ROM and another original dump from this forum but the app installs itself anyway. Any idea where I can get another clean ROM or system dump?

I'd unlock it first on htcdev and then root and flash a custom recovery.
Then you'd either flash back to stock or flash a custom ROM.
I hope this helps

As stated in the OP I have already unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. CyanogenMod works but very buggy build, and either way I would like to have the original ROM or something close to it (Sense). Unfortunately there are no custom roms for this phone yet (other then CM). I have only found one original TWRP dump that I tried but the demo mode installed itself on that dump as well. I don't know why it installed itself on the original rom from this forum... Thanks

Sorry, my bad.
My understanding is that this is an app so if it's not in the ROM then it cannot run.
There are a few other custom ROM but if you want stock follow this by the letter.

Those instructions and ROMs are for the HTC One Mini and not the HTC One Mini 2. Also as far as I know there is no way to get S-OFF on the HTC One Mini 2 yet.

Thanks! I will give it a try, does not matter if I brick it anyways. My fiance dropped it and broke the glass so I will get a new demo unit.

Download stock rim flashable via twrp and open it using WinZip or winrar goto system/etc/ and delete '.demo' folder. Then repack and flash, problem solved.
no need for reading the whole thread. in twrp mount preload and by using the twrp file manager navigate to /preload and delete everything you can find inside! do a factory reset and flashing "org" firmware should be done...

I was going to do same thing, but how do you repack ? I mean I packed it with WinRAR, or 7Zip, but they compress the file, or maybe they don't pack it as TWRP format, so TWRP didn't recognise my file. Simply, how do you pack it ?

Open the zip file that you want to flash with any zip manager you like, you don't need to extract the files, just navigate to the folder and delete the .demo folder and it will automatically repack it. Close it and copy it to your phone and flash normally. It will work.

You can do the ota updat without stock rom if you not use custom rom
First Relock the bootloader
Extract the files from ota updat you ll find firmwar.zip
Take the firmwar.zip and flash the phone like RUU
Restare the phone
Apply the ota
Thats all
After you can unloock the bootloader and flash recovery

He isn't asking to do an OTA he's asking for a specific rom most likely because his got messed up so none of anything you just suggested pertains to his question!!!

If you can upload somewhere that will be great and helpful, I believe not just me need it. By the way, my radio: 1.101.1372.19.0822 and OS: 1.11.631.2.
My Phone stopped on HTC logo after update the system through the phone, I tried to use RUU to flash many ROM and it didn't work, I found out later this phone's CID is Rogers so I think the stock ROM will work if I use RUU to flash it.
Thank you all for your help and advice.
my firm os is 1.19.631.3 and radio is .101.1372.19.1121
i think your firm is little old ,so you have to flash the firm befor the stok backup
here the firm

Finally I got my phone works again. Thank you all guys.
I downloaded Samy6699's firmware and backup, flashed firmware first then restored Samy6699's backup file by using TWRP.
After reboot I got the phone worked with Samy6699's data, even the screen lock gesture was also shown up, so I rebooted the phone to boot loader and did the factory reset, ok my phone was reborn like new. As long as I connected to the Wi-Fi I got system update reminder. After proceeded to install the update, my phone fully recovered with newest system update running now.
Thanks again. I'm a happy man after couple weeks struggling to numerous failing attempts.
