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.

Why did I lose root? Please help!

First off I would like to thank everyone on this amazing site for all the advice, guides and tutorials.
I unlocked my nexus bootloader and flashed a couple different roms. I really like the rom manager so I've used that to download roms and then flash them using that app.
When I downloaded the stock version of 91and flashed it, the phone no longer seemed to have root or clockwork recovery but my bootloader was still unlocked. When I downloaded rom manager, it could not get super user permissions, this being useless in flashing a backup or new rom. So I used universal one click root to gain root access and then rom manager was able to flash a backup.
I know this may be a dumb question but hope someone could explain to me why I needed to re-root and why I lost clockwork recovery...?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Right theres your problem. stock roms dont have root built in you have to root them again. unless you download a prerooted stock rom. hope this helps.

Yep this seems to be your problem. If you're wanting stock with the basic add-ons then the first link in this thread is your answer: Link.
Thanks very much. That does make sense. I thought unlocked bootloader meant I was rooted regardless of rom! I'm in way over my head lol. Looking forward to learning more...thanks for the new rom link as well

The advantage of unlocking your bootloader means you can flash a custom recovery from Fastboot mode, without having to "root" the ROM. Next time this happens you can just boot into fastboot and flash clockwork from there like this:
fastboot flash recovery PATHTO\RECOVERYFILENAME.img
so say you download clockwork and save it to c:\sdk\fastboot named recovery.img from a command prompt you enter the following
cd \sdk\fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once it is done flashing you can do this
fastboot reboot recovery
and that should take you into clockwork where you can flash your favorite ROM (or restore a backup).
Thanks for the help. I will be sure to try that method out next time. Very helpful.

[Q] Upsdate OTA to 2.3.3 without bricking?

Hi,
First of all I apologize for the extremely noob question, but I just want to be certain I wont brick my phone, so I rather ask...
I have a Nexus 1 with 2.2.2 rooted (it came just like this when I bought it, so I have no idea how it was done). The thing is I got a notification about OTA update to 2.3.3, and I wanted to update.
My question here is, how do I determine that it wont brick my phone?
(As far as I can tell its googles stock firmware with stock recovery atm)
Apply the update. If it fails, you will need to look into other means of upgrading. If it passes, you win. If it fails, and won't boot afterwards, you may need to wipe, but all should be normal afterwards.
Thanks
While we're at it, how do I 'wipe' exacly?
By installing a custom recovery, either ClockWorkMod (through ROM Manager from the market) or Amon_Ra, which is my preferred choice, but you have to flash it using adb.
Thanks guys, I've been reeding a bit more and finally figured it out.
One last question though, I see from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396 that Gingerbread requires Hboot 0.35.0017 and Radio 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04.
I already have hboot-0.35.0017 but I have RADIO-4.06.00.12_7.
If I upgrade using OTA do I have to flash Radio first? Also can I use this newer radio with FRG83G?
Im sorry, Im still a bit lost on the radio stuff...
If you use the official ota it will update the radio.

Neat! And if I need to rollback to FRG83G, will the new radio version work with it?
So I updated using OTA feature and everything went smooth!

nice to see people getting the ota..

OTA Update

Here's the zip of the OTA that was pushed out. It won't install through either CWM or TWRP, so can someone who's more knowledgeable in these matters make it flashable?
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/821854/OTAPkg.zip
And in case it helps, here's the log from CWM from trying to flash it manually:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/821854/recovery.log
And yes, as with any OTA, you run the risk of losing root, etc. But for me, I really don't care. I've even tried pushing the included stock recovery, but it doesn't work like this. You get a phone with an exclamation point over it (I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about) when you try to boot into that recovery. A quick push of TWRP back onto the phone fixed that error, but I still can't flash the update, obviously. Anyone want to take a crack at it?
Thanks to nuclear_eclipse for getting this and the log for us!

That symbol just means that it doesn't know what file to use for the update; this is part of what get's communicated somehow from the OS to the recovery during reboot, but I'm not familiar enough with the way recoveries work to know how to trigger that myself. I would assume this is a similar mechanism to how ROM Manager et al can tell CWM/TWRP what to flash.

That makes total sense. I guess it's not automatically checking the folder that Software Update puts it in. I've got another 22 hours until I can get Software Update to check again. I'll push the stock recovery before I do that, unless someone makes this flashable through TWRP or CWM before then.
In my stock Rom thread there are new files up. They are the ota roms. So if you are running stock, download the odex one ending in 1.08 and flash in recovery, no need to wipe data. Then pull boot.img and fastboot flash it. You now have the ota software. I will post instructions to upgrade the firmware that came with the ota

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

HELP: Upgrading to EMUI5 on NEM-L21 with TWRP and Xposed

I read here, somewhere, that you need stock recovery to do the update. Since I have flashed another recovery (and rooted and installed Xposed), I'm not sure if I can update to EMUI5.
Furthermore, I'm not even sure how to do the update. The update (b351) is available in FF and checks out as "compatible", but I don't know what the install procedure is. Especially without stock recovery.
Any help or info is much appreciated
yeah, you should flash stock recovery thru ADB and thn try updating...
Not adb but fastboot

That you may need to find your own. Well in custom ROMs, they are designed to work with custom recoveries like TWRP. While in stock, the whole system is inside update.app, which can't be read by a custom recovery.
