[Q] APK's for OTA updates after unlock bootloader - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i unlocked the bootloader and as you know the apk's just disappear. I want to get the ones for 3.62.401.1 if it is possible. I did do the factory reseet option to no avail. I am S-OFF so i can relock the bootloader and factory reset?
Of course id rather have the apk's as that would be far easier than the other method. But unfortunately you can't get everything :/

just grab them out of any 3.62xx rom and install them

Okay, is this everything i need to do for OTA's or is this it? I have stock recovery, kernel, radio and stuff

Managed to get hold of the APK's. Where do i have to put them? Is it fine just installing and converting to system app or have i gotta put them in the exact folder?

Hey, will you kindly upload the apps here?
It will be very usefull for many other people.
And the answer is, put the apps in the system/apps folder and reboot.
The apps will be there.

This is not needed. The only apk files needed for OTA are CheckinProvider.apk, HtcCOTAClient.apk (newer ROM versions don't have this one so don't worry if you can't find it) and updater.apk. All of those are located in /system/app

Here we are
As said above you do not need the apps in the data partition for OTA's. However i know some people do find them useful so i will upload the apps from it, plus the app needed for OTA. From 3.62.401.1 i have no idea if they work on other versions.
Sorry for the wait, but better late than never

Here is the other file.....
Wouldn't let me upload them in the same post for whatever reason, both ZIP's were below the 11.8 limit. but oh well

Check attachments for the apk's lost. These are lost because they are in data/preload on the stock HTC ROM so when the data partition gets wiped after a bootloader unlock, those apps go bye bye :good:

[OTA 1.29.651.10] From non-rooted phone

This thread can be moved or deleted if not needed. I grabbed the OTA 1.29.651.10 from my non-rooted phone on 5/16/2013. It does not appear to be a real major update and probably just some tweaks maybe? Hope this helps...

The improvement on the home and back keys is a definite plus. Has anyone installed the update? If so, have you noticed a difference? I've tried multiple ROMs and kernels but still have intermittent problems with the back key.

They include hboot in every update. Doesnt mean it's changed. It's version 1.44 so if that's the pre-ota one then it hasnt changed.
1.44.0000 is also the pre-ota bootloader version.

u have to copy to system/app or data/app and give it permission,
look at any other file u when u copy it, and just give it the exact permission..
it happened when u unlocked the boot-loader, it happened to everyone, there is a folder u will see in stock ROM threads, its 5 or 6 apps that disappeared calculator, flashlight
goto here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353083 and grab the data/app
i will have all that is missing,
I made my own rom from him, and moved them to the system/app folder

For reference, unlocking the bootloader wipes your sd card, being that flashlight is not a system app, hence the delete of the app when you unlocked .. You could just flash a zip with flashlight in and it should install fine.

Email app from Droid series?

The e-mail app on the Droid Mini/Ultra/Maxx is way better than the one that comes on the X for Verizon. I tried restoring it with Titanium but no luck. It just hangs at restoring. How can I get that app onto my new X?

No... not even close.... Just to name a few:
1) Droid Mini version has black theme (easier on eyes AND battery for amoled)
2) Supports conversation view... how does ours NOT?
3) Supports HTML, more sync settings, etc.
It has always been difficult moving email apps on devices. Looking for someone to help!

I also have the droid maxx, love that email. I've been playing with this for a while. The maxx email actually uses motoemail and motoemailsetup apks.

Wait I have not made any changes to my M8, its completely stock, so I are you saying I would have to HTC dev unlock to be able to use these apps?
Also, my M8 already came with the HTC calc app on it, but not the flashlight.
On the M8, the "HTC Apps" app leads to an empty screen saying that "there are no apps available for the this device"...wth...why would they do this!?

Completely stock you do have the calculator app(I believe) but not the flashlight app. To install these zips you need to have a custom Recovery to flash them. Many have already unlocked and installed TWRP Recovery). When you unlock through HTCDev a few apps go missing. I do not know exactly what apps because I unlocked as soon as i got the M8.
I guess I don't understand why I need to unlock the phone to install the flashlight app...? If I can get the flashlight.apk, shouldn't I just be able to install it like any other app? Sorry if I am seeming like a noob here...lol...I'm really not, I've rooted and flashed many phones but not my last few. (Last one I did was my 4g Lte. Didn't do my One or One Max or this M8.)

The apps are installed to the /data directory from factory instead of as a /system app. When you run the HTC unlock - your /data is wiped therefore you will not have any of the factory pre-loaded /data apps.

Apparently on the HTC One of last year - HTC did hash checks to see if all factory apps were still installed before advertising an OTA to your phone. So if you were unlocked you were unable to receive an OTA because you wouldn't have those apps available.

Typically, system apps can't install by conventional methods (although there are a few exceptions, Google Maps being one of them). You have to use a file manager to push the file to /system/app as listed above, and be sure to set the permissions. The permissions should match the rest of the apks in the folder.
If you don't know how to get the permissions to match the other files, then check the permissions of another apk that does match, and use the same layout.

I also wonder if this is a symptom of the Unlocking process. I just got my M8 yesterday and have not Unlocked it yet and I have a Calculator App. All I've done is set it up and restore a HTC backup from my old EVO LTE. It even restored my homescreen to exactly how it was on my old phone, including widgets, which was convenient. Calculator is sitting right there on my homescreen where it usually is, and it works.
that's odd, I had the calculator before and after unlocking and rooting........
