Never converted to GPe..just got OTA - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought the T-Mobile HTC One and then promptly flashed the Google Play edition 4.2.2 ROM and then after that I flashed the 4.3 ROM a few months ago when it came out. But just a few minutes ago I got an OTA notification for 4.3.
I never converted using and RUU or changing the CID/GID or anything complicated like that, I just flashed a ROM in TWRP. Anyone got a clue whats going on?

It will still give you the OTA notification and let you download it, it just wont install because of your custom recovery among many other things.

4.3 Build JWR66Y.H1

That last part is not quite true, It will install
I just updated with this 15Mb update to 4.3 Build JWR66Y.H1
It booted me into TWRP and installed the update, then rebooted into system, only issue is it's not rooted anymore

Thats odd. Maybe it can install minor updates then. When I got the OTA for 4.3 from 4.2.2, TWRP had no clue what to do with the update file and just rebooted.

[Q] 4.4.2 on GPE HTC One and "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD Card."

Okay, so here's the deal.
I have an AT&T HTC One that was running 4.4 Kit Kat (Click: this ROM) and is S-OFF via RumRunner. I am running the latest TWRP recovery.
Yesterday I got prompted for an OTA and accepted it (in the past, with GPE ROMs, it would just reboot to recovery and do nothing). This is the only way I know of to get rid of the annoying "System update available" notification. I figured it wouldn't do anything and I would simply reboot and be good for a few more days until it prompted again. Low and behold, it actually updated my phone to 4.4.2.
Now, I'm having some issues.
I was a user of DashClock Widget...but now I use Better DashClock. However, this app is now prompting me to download a key. When I try to download the key from the Play Store, I get the message:
Error: Couldn't install on USB storage or SD Card.
SwiftKey Keyboard has the same issue.
Other apps (such as ES File Explorer, ESPN, Fandango, etc. update just fine).
-------------
I have read a bunch of posts that suggest cleaning up temp files (which don't exist on my phone) and to download SELinux Mode Changer and change the mode to Passive...but to no avail.
Can someone help me? Is this the developers issue or did my phone do something wonky?
Thanks!
Exactly the same problem here. I've narrowed it down to paid apps that won't install. Followed the same possible solutions in the 1st post, nothing works. HTC One GE 4.4.2.

I had a similar problem. I downloaded the 4.4.2 OTA update and tried flashing it with TWRP three different times. All three times I got that same error message with some apps. It was extremely frustrating. I ended up flashing the stock 4.4 recovery and then flashing the update. It worked perfectly and the problem went away. I then reflashed TWRP.

I had a similar experience. Paid apps would not install from Play Store. Amazon app store or F-Droid apps would install.
But my journey was that I had a 4.4 GPE device suffering through an issue where I can't get my bootloader to unlock. So when 4.4.2 came out I wasn't getting the OTA so I tried flashing just the firmware package from the OTA download. That's when I was getting this error (after a factory reset).
But then next day I got the real OTA and after that the problem went away. So for me it was a firmware issue in that it wasn't the right firmware for my OS.
Weird that you are running 4.4.2 but having this issue. Any chance you didn't come to have 4.4.2 the "natural" way?

Update was OTA last night, so I guess its as natural as it comes.

Yeah...my process was as natural as possible.
I was on 4.3 at first...so when I was going to 4.4 KitKat I first flashed back to some basic stock Sense ROM to run RumRunner and attain S-OFF. Then I COMPLETELY NUKED my phone and went to 4.4 KitKat. Had no problems, got the OTA, and now this.
It's aggravating, that's for sure.
I really don't want to completely wipe my phone again and have to re-setup all of my home screens, etc.
I received the OTA which installed despite me having TWRP, not stock recovery (as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48586329). Now I have the same issue installing paid apps (the ones I had already installed before the OTA disappeared off the device).
Short of starting from scratch, I'm at a bit of a loss for a solution...
Nick
Sounds like this is wide-spread...or at least amongst the people who are running newer GPE ROMs on their Ones.
im having the exact same issues here

Can you point me to where you got the stock recovery from please?
Fixed
It looks like this is all to do with custom recovery and OTA updates. I have TWRP installed. This morning I flashed stock recovery. I then put the OTA update file on the phone storage. Then booted into the stock recovery (which is the first time I've seen it, it would be nice if it was the last as it's tricky to get into), then flashed the 4.2.2. update from there. Once I booted the phone again all my paid apps reappeared. No data lost in the process. I'm not sure if going back to TWRP not will cause the problem again, so for now I'll stick with stock recovery....

Can you please detail the procedure ?
If possible including where you got the files (OTA and stock recovery ) and how to put OTA on the sdcard to "provoque" que update.
Thanks in advance!

This.
Also, you left 4.4.2 on the device and just 're-applied' the OTA update? Or did you go back to a NANDROID backup of you on 4.4 or 4.3?

Here you go! I can't remember the thread where I found it, so the file is attached. Just to be clear, this is the stock Android 4.4 recovery for the HTC One GPE.

Yeah, that's about it. I used adb to flash the stock recovery to replace TWRP, then used the stock recovery to flash the same update you linked to. After it was done updating I reflashed TWRP. And don't forget to make a nandroid.
Thank you! Will report back when I'm done!
What is the fastboot command to flash the OTA zip file?
I'm back on the stock recovery...phone is still booting/working so I just need to do the OTA part now.

Sorry, hectic day at work. I should have said that I applied the update with the stock recovery. Not fastboot.
I basically used the guide linked below to flash the update.

What if you don't have an "apply from adb" option?
I have:
- reboot system now
- apply from sd card
- apply from phone storage
- apply from cache
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Can't I just open a ADB shell while on the fastboot USB option?

No OS installed?

It's been a little while since I've done anything to my phone.
I was having a few issues with the installed ROM(AndroidNow4.3) with Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5.
I went to install both ViperOne and I tried Sloth. After "installing" them from TWRP it said there was no OS installed.
I currently converted back to AndroidNow, but I was wondering if there was anything I had to do because of the Android 4.3 version difference between the ROMs?
Thanks.

All right. Just type up a step by step list of what you did, starting from the download of the ROM. Please be specific.

I actually think I know what I did....or didn't do, lol.
It appears I only downloaded the OTA updates in the threads, instead of the actual ROM. OOPS.
I'll let you know if I fix it.
But Here's what I did;
1. Downloaded the file.
2. Put it on the phone.
3. Made a backup of all my stuff
4. Cleared Cache, D-Cache, Data and System.
5. Installed zip.
Ok, I got it installed.
My only question is, when I install the OTA update, do I need to clear just the cache? Or do I have to clear it at all?

[Q] 5.1.1 update and TWRP

I have unlocked the bootloader on my encrypted N6 and installed TWRP.
I was invited by my phone to install the 5.1.1 update so I downloaded it, tapped on install and my phone duly rebooted. It booted into TWRP and then nothing happened. I am quite happy to flash the update myself although I'm not sure why it didn't work but I don't know where the update is.
Can I just flash the update like flashing any other ROM using TWRP and if so, where did my phone download the update to?

no, you can not flash an ota unless you are completely stock with a stock recovery and without any system file changes.
Thank you, that answers that question.
In the past I have always flashed non-stock ROMs and I knew I couldn't install OTA updates but now my phone is at least running a stock ROM. I haven't been in this position before.

Nexus 6 boots into TWRP when trying to install system update?

I recently rooted my Nexus 6 and a few days ago I got the notification for the January security patches. When the phone downloads them and reboots, instead of showing the Android Mike update screen it boots into TWRP. I've poked around in the TWRP settings and checked the logs and I've had no luck. I did some research as well and haven't come across anyone else having this issue. This doesn't happen on my GS2 when I install a Cyanogenmod update. Why is this happening and how can I fix it? Thanks!
You cannot apply Google OTA updates with a custom recovery. Replace your recovery with the stock version and try again.
Not just custom recovery - any system change such as root will stop the OTA. Depending on how you rooted, you might be able to unoot using the built-in SuperSU function (I'm guessing Supersu?) but more likely than not it still won't work.
The simplest thing to do is forget about the OTA entirely. Download the full ROM from Google, unzip it, unzip the zip inside the zip, and there you'll find system.img, which you can flash in Fastboot, then reroot. Done.

Oh, then as other people said, if you want OTA then totally unroot it, then reflash system of the current version, and flash stock recovery. But it's much better when a new version arrives, just download it, flash system and boot, reroot it, clear cache and dalvik. This way you'll have your updated Android days or even weeks before the OTA.

@JCorona the RUU is also available for download now. FIND 1.80.651.1 RUU HERE.
Update the thread's title too to reflect RUU availability.
How do we apply the OTA if we are rooted and on a Custom Rom like Venom?
If I haven't done S-off yet, does anyone know if I still can after this update? Or do I have to before taking the update?

Camera quit?
I was on rooted stock, S-On, and applied the new firmware ([RUU][Firmware][Stock Rooted ROMs]Sprint HTC 10 | 1.80.651.1 | updated 6.20.16), then reinstalled TWRP then SuperSU.
There's a major improvement in my NFC now - great!
But the camera has completely stopped working - just closes. Tried some 3rd-party camera apps, as well as re-installing the HTC app - all the same, either no picture or a force-close.
Has anybody else had camera problems after installing this?

Oh well - I bit the bullet and bought Sunshine, then got S-Off (wiping my data ), then installed the full RUU.
Camera's working again. Next is to reinstall TWRP then SuperSU, then put everything back the way it was.
Dunno what was wrong with just flashing the firmware.

fyi---flashing firmware only is only partially updating your phone...think of firmware as like drivers, you still need to update the OS, but since u flashed the RUU, you're set now....btw, RUU flashes all, firmware, OS etc
Got a PRL update today I?
