You can't update via OTA if you have a custom recovery and rom, you need to go back to stock if you want to do so
I agree with the first reply. Just return it. I completely bricked my first One and took it back to Best Buy. They didn't even turn it on. They just made sure there wasn't a rock in there instead of the phone. LOL
You're good. Just do it. :good:

OK so now I have an OTA update available for my HTC One. When I try to update it takes me to my custom Recovery TWRP. Will this help me to obtain stock status? Also what is the next step after booting into TWRP?? Sorry I am a noob to this but I can hold my own with good instructions. TIA!!

I don't believe the OTA update is going to help you at all. Here's what I would do. The factory RUU (ROM Update Utility) that HTC provides is an executable that you run from your Windows PC (XP preferred). You don't have to load it to the phone - your phone just has to be connected.
A couple questions before we begin:
1 - Which phone did you get? DEV 64 - AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile?
2 - Do you want to save anything on that phone?
If no to 2, just continue. But if you want to save anything you'll need to use either Titanium Backup or Go Backup & Restore Pro (my favorite). Back up to the cloud or copy your backed up items off your phone if you wish to keep them because you're about to wipe it clean.
You can find the RUU for the DEV unit here - http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You may need to register at htcdev.com to access this page. But here you'll find a list of downloads - some are CRC (kernel source code) and one is RUU (WWE stands for World Wide Edition). Download that to your PC.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I would boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset my phone. This will erase anything that you have on it. I'd also wipe the cache and davlik.
Next once the RUU is downloaded and you're sure you've backed up EVERYTHING you want to keep, double click on the RUU. It should be cake from there. It'll restore your One back to factory standards and you should be able to send this puppy back.:highfive:

Also, if you bought the unlocked version from HTC like I did then you're fine with having it factory unlocked with an unlocked bootloader. You don't need to re-lock that.
By the way, here's a graphic of the file you'll want to download and run on your computer when you're ready to restore the phone.

Ok, I don't think so. Sorry. The RUU appears to be for the Dev edition only. That was the mistake I made and I completely hosed my previous phone. I see the one that you bought here: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41589
Until HTC releases an RUU for that device we can't go that route.
The only other route would be to flash the stock ROM to your phone at the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
Follow the instructions. You'll end up adb flashing the stock boot.img and stock recovery back to your phone. Those files are discussed in the first post.
It's a little more work, but this is the kind of stuff that I love staying up late for. Good luck and sorry we couldn't do it with an RUU.
:fingers-crossed:
Let us know how you make out with this.

Before you guys jump on me, I would like to apologize for just being dumb. Even though that is the truth, may I have some help?
I didn't read the guide on turning the S-Off on my Vivid, I thought all I had to do was run the hason s-off and it would automatically do everything for me. Yeah, I didn't even know about a wire trick (I've already admitted the obvious). My Vivid just boots to the JoupunutBear screen and reboots after about 3 minutes to the same screen. I guess I've bricked my device!:crying:
Is it possible for HTC to remotely restore my Vivid, or do I have to take it to an authorized dealer that repair phones? If so, how much am I looking at? I wished I had left my phone alone, but doing some of the crazy wild and exciting stuff for phones is so cool! I wish I had read that I needed to pin mod something, or else I would not have tried to do S-Off! I just got my phone a few days ago in a trade for my HTC Shift.
I guess this will be an expensive lesson and hopefully I'll read and not think every procedure for different phones are the same.
I miss my Vivid!:crying:

I thought as long as I had reovery image on my device, I had nothing to worry about. Boy was I wrong!
Any tips on which recovery I should use? Preferably with guide, my nerves are a bit tweaked right now.
OK, I just relocked...now what?
Downloaded AT&T stock ROM, downloaded AT&T PH39img. I guess now I'm suppose to place both files on SD card and use HBOOT?

I have to download the RUU and not use the AT&Tzip I've already have downloaded. Seems straight forward, I'll reply back, thanks!
Since I have some time before the RUU finishes downloading, I tried to reflash factory rom using the second method. When I reboot into recovery, it does load the PG file, but it doesn't give me an option to flash anything?
Just a heads up...for me ruu never worked with a unlocked bootloader so if it doesn't work relock your bootloader with the super tool thing in he dev section...just boot into fastboot from hboot and click relock bootloader, then boot back to fastboot and run the ruu

The beginning of step 6 requires you to relock the bootloader. Otherwise, the RUU or PH zip will not work.

Man this download is taking long, I still have 15 percent to go (6 minutes)!
I guess I have to have the RUU for any of this to work, so I'll stop playing around with it before I render the device useless. So I'll be patient since I have 5 minutes to go, then I should be able to perform any of the two methods found in the guide. I'm so glad there are so many here to help me, I love you guys! Don't be too flattered, I love my Vivid more! Once this is done, I'll thank each and every one of you!
OK all, I have to leave for right now. I started the RRU utility, but it stops at checking signatures.

I have an AT&T Vivid, I thought the one for Holiday Cingular was the correct one? On the phone it says RUU update failed. So I'll look into it when I get back and try then. For some reason I can't update the HBOOT?
Bye for now!
I bet you can't update the bootloader while it is locked, LOL!

It should work if you re-locked your bootloader... So that isn't the problem. Maybe somewhere during you trying to S-OFF you still managed to change the HBOOT to the unofficial one. If so, then the RUU or PH zip will both probably not work. Somehow you need to get back to the stock HBOOT. You might need to ask in the Juoponut bear thread or contact them directly.

Big thank you for all who stood by me during my time of sorrow.
I've searched and searched and can't find this topic so here goes...
I have the DE and it is rooted. I'd like to install the OTA as I'm still running stock otherwise. Do I have to unroot to get it to install? For fun I tried loading it with CWM and that just locked it up.
Thoughts or threads I've missed?
im curious too :/ the only way i could update was unrooting and for that the only way i could do so, was restoring a backup from CWM, i couldnt falsha RUU or ZIP :/
would be great if some one help us to find out how to unroot (an easier way) or apply OTA even rooted (guess this is not possible :/)

As far as I know, OTA should work fine if you have ONLY rooted and NOT installed any custom recovery. So I believe restoring stock recovery could make your phone receive the OTA. I could be wrong too.

Hmmm then I'm a bit confused, I believe I have stock recovery installed, I haven't done anything other than backup and root. I just tried running the update from the prompt and it sends me to CWM. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what stock recovery is?

In attempt to get the stock recovery back I've tried the RUU that should be for the 64GB DE edition but it keeps throwing an error. Is Brightstar US WWE RUU 3.4.10 v4.1 1.29.1540.3 the wrong one?

First things first is your phone the developer edition? Sorry to ask a silly question just want to make sure you are not trying to flash the wrong firmware to your phone.
You can find the stock recovery under the development thread and you can flash this with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (in fastboot mode of course)
for a DE, you have to lock its bootloader and then using RUU to get it back to stock, or just fastboot flash the stock recoery image to override your custom recovery, both are working to update OTA according to my test.

I posted this in another section a couple days ago on how I did the OTA with my DE.
Now you do have to push a stock recovery to get it working but then after you load the OTA you can go back and push TWRP or CWM. I then reflashed supersu but not sure if I needed to or not.
You don't need to lock the bootloader on the DE edition.

I don't understand why you'd have to lock a bootloader for a device that came with it unlocked from the factory? Even the ruu from HTC for the DE requires you to lock the bootloader?

Actually I don't understand either, but it is true, I failed several times to use RUU gettting back stock before re-locking my DE, I guess HTC developer does not apply any special code for the DE RUU program, you can have a try if you have a chance to do so.
Dang I already relocated and RUU'd it... Oh well next time.
Thanks though!!

Before I did anything I updated to the newest firmware. Then using twrp I created back ups and transfured them to my computer. I flash the Android Rev 4.3 not knowing it was GSM only. The phone never would go past the boot loader. So i restored from my twrp back up. All of my stuff came back but I had no service and after about a min the phone would reboot it self. So i did the factory wipe and have been trying to get a rom to flash since then. I was finally able to get one to load today but i still have the same no service/reboot issue, however now i can't access the menu. When i swipe up it just says HTC till it reboots it self.
I have resorted to using ADB to load roms I have even used super wipe with no changes. I'm out of ideas here.

Please forgive me as my flashing back to stock experience goes back to my Motorola Photon days. If I soft-bricked my device I would SBF (Motorola's RUU) back. Any version would work. Once I had the device reloaded I would then re-unlock and try again with my favorite choice of ROM.
Honestly at this point what do you have to lose? I would try any and all RUU's to try and un-brick your phone.

All you need is to flash a radio bro. If your phone comes on with no service it's missing a radio at boot. Just go to recovery, hit advanced, hit adb sideload with phone connected open command window with platform tools and type adb sideload (radio name) and hit enter. No parenthesis.

You better post this in the M7 thread. I don't know how much you messed up, maybe the ruu is not necessary, but as a last resource, taking for granted that your phone is a GSM model you can get s-off than change your CID and flash an unlocked or developer edition ruu.

We can talk here. It's a pretty simple procedure. Copy this file to your ADB folder(the one you used to unlock your bootloader) http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
Make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options and turn phone completely off
Boot into bootloader than Fastboot
From fastboot.
Than open command prompt in this folder and type:
"fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img"

Can I ask you fellas a question. I'm still running stock but I'm rooted and s-off. I keep getting the system update and I want to accept the update because it adds the extreme power saver to my Sprint M8. If I do exactly how do reroot. I know I'll stay S-off. Thanks in advance.

I think Captain Throwback has a stock rooted ROM based off the latest OTA. I would flash that, instead. Too much trouble if you choose the other route.

Flash the rom along with the firmware.
But if you wanted to flash the update from sprint it's not that hard. You would need Sprints stock recovery flashed on your device (it's in one of Captains threads) and your software would need to have all of the files the OTA wants to update since it fails if it doesn't find all the files it is changing. Other than that take the update, let it finish and boot up, and then flash twrp (or cwm), flash SU, and you're back to rooted.

Rookie Mistake!
Just for the record I took the Update. Not realizing that the firmware was going to be updated as well. My bad, now I can't even unlock my bootloader, I get an error message(pwr/vol.dn). I also tried to using cmd(adb) error message cannot 'flash' Now what? I usually root my devices on day one. oh well. Noob I am not.:confused a I am...
Any Ideas?

Shouldn't matter if you took the update
HTC Dev will unlock your bootloader unless Sprint blocked it like what happened to Verizon...they blocked folks from using HTC Dev.
I took the update a couple days ago, and just rooted last night. Htcdev worked fine for me. Followed this video:

Got It
Late last night I tried out Hasoon2000's (EASY) ALL-IN-ONE KIT. It got me rooted. Always did it manually never had any issue before, oh well I'm rooted that's what matter.
Thanks for the feedback
And a big thanks to Hasoon2000's.
Great Work!
