[Q] Help updating afer unlocking bootloader - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys , I'm sort of a newbie to android rooting and custom Roms and stuff.So I wanted to root my HTC one(international version) , I successfully unlocked my bootloader , after that I didn't flash a custom recovery , I just rebooted . I saw that I had received an ota update , therefore I tried to update my one . After about a few minutes the installation cancelled and it shows a triangle with a red exclamation mark . I have stock Rom but I suspect it's because of unlocking the bootloader , coz unlocking it deletes a few built in apps . So is there any way I can successfully update my one ? Please take note that I'm a *noob* haha

first read this post so you understand how ota update works
Unlocking the bootloader wipe /data partition including preloaded htc app in /data/preload. In some ota updates, these app are patched. If the updater script of the ota can't find these files (or they don't match because they were modified) the ota installation will abort --> red triangle.
Same for the thousand of system files, if some are missing or modified, ota installation will abort.
You need to know which file(s) is causing the ota install to fail. See this post how to find which file is missing or have unexpected content.
then you need to find each missing/modified files and push them to the right location and setting permission correctly (rw-r--r--).
i.e if the updater script reports (from stock recovery):
Code:
check /data/preload/calculator.apk failed, error, No such file or directory ()
calculator.apk is missing
this mean you must find the right calculator.apk for your software version and push it to /data/preload/ and set permission correctly.
i.e if the updater script reports:
Code:
"/data/preload/calculator.apk" has unexpected contents
calculator.apk have unexpected content (corrupted or modified file)
in this case again this mean you must find the right calculator.apk for your software version and push it to /data/preload/ and set permission correctly.
you must do it for all files that are causing the ota installation to fail
or in some cases, it will be simpler just to use a ruu, a guru reset rom or a nandroid backup to restore your phone and then do the ota update.
or you can use a custom rom with latest version.

Thanks alot

Thank you , I will look at the options above , I just have one more question , I read somewhere that ota's are most of the time just patch files , so is it possible that probably later on there is a whole new system update , not patches , if that's the case then I suppose the ota will not look for any modifications as it will simply just install the new version ?

ota updates always patch existing files. If you want to do a full installation, you might want to use a RUU.

if you choose to flash a rom, I recommend you to use twrp recovery version 2.6.3.3. older version don't work with newer rom, and newer version of twrp have some bugs, so better to use 2.6.3.3

[Q] Red triangle/explanation mark error during update

Hey everyone,
I have just finished getting my htc one m7 back to stock 100% and followed the guide on this site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738
this is what i did in order:
- I Didnt change the ROM as it was the original carrier optus AU (i never got around to install custom rom)
- I installed a stock recovery (Stock 2.24.980.2 recovery for Telecom NZ, Vodafone NZ, Vodafone AU and Optus) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463387
- remove the tamper error
- changed boot loader to locked
- Changed to s-on
- unrooted SuperSU under the options in the programs settings
- Did a factory reset from the boot loader menu
- Downloaded my carriers update
- Tried to install the update got half way and got the red triangle and explanation mark
Any ideas on what I might of missed, did wrong or could try? I have spent way to many days on this!! thanks
UPDATE:
I got into the stock recovery console screen by pressing power + up + down buttons. clear the cache and did a factory rest again.
There is error on the console screen and here it is:
Warning: no file_contextsVerifying current system...
Check /data/preload/soundhound_freemium.apk failed error No such file or directory ()
Installation aborted.
First of all, never go S-ON
and your problem is, because you flashed custom rom's and kernals, your data/preload folder has been wiped, it contains loads of files like flashlight.apk and calculator.apk etc etc,, it gets wiped when you clear data, and is a nightmare to try and get back, if its ever possible.

Since there are some missing files in the /data/preload folder of your phone. I don't know if this will work, but the missing files can be found in an OTA for your phone. Look in the /data/preload folder of the OTA zip and extract only the APK ones. Then you can place them in the same root folder on your phone. You will need root access to accomplish this. The other option is to find the RUU for your phone and run it. It will put everything back to stock. There is a Australian Users thread in the General Section which might help, look through @deeevan post.
To save you from downloading OTA after OTA, I found the Sound Hound Freemium APK in the 4.20.980.1 OTA but not the 5.11.980.9. As the OTAs are just patches on the previous release, it assumes you have everything and will only contain the file if there is an update required.
For some reason, I don't have a copy of the 3.63 OTA here to check the contents but I included a link below in case you're still missing something.
Links to OTAs:
5.11.980.9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53341804
4.20.980.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51174737
3.63.980.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49533867 (Oh I see this is just a link to a link to a link, I'll see if I can find the OTA on my other laptop and upload)
If you found these helpful, can you please click Thanks on those posts? I found them by looking for my most thanked posts, so I'd like to keep them at the top.
I'm 90% certain the 4.20 OTA has all the preloaded apps you need, I don't remember there being any others. Install all those first, and if it doesn't work then try the 3.63. The 5.11 OTA only has the carrier specific apps.

Problem in ota-update after installing kingroot

Hi all ,
This problem is facing very one how install kingroot and made his/her device rooted with kingroot , the root is done will , but after Root we can receive ota updates but when we download and install the ota update a problem found :
Unexpected error : install-recovary.sh status 7
I have trying to make full un-root by kingroot , or superus and nothing fixed until now !!!
Some people told me that you must install stock-rom !?
But why stock-rom if there is better and easy solution ?
I need your help developers I guess this problem not hard one for you ^_^ .
So who is the hero that's will save the day
Thanks.
As I've told you, you need the stock install-recovery.sh for your device (LUZ17x or LUZ59x?)
Everything else it way too complicated! (You will need an unlocked Bootloader, modded stock-recovery or TWRP, patched updater-script, etc...)
But it seems, nobody here is willing to pull the file (or even better a stock system.img) from their device.
I forgot to pull a system.img before rooting, so I can't help.
Seems, that there is unfortunately no real active community in Thailand or Turkey (apart from the language barrier), when it comes to these devices.
At least until now.

if you want update then why u rooted your device? this is the basic thing you have to keep in mind before root you device that you cant install OTA if your device is rooted or any thing is changed into the system(i.e. cant be done without root).
The people telling you about installing stock rom, is the best and last solution according to me... search the net you will surely find the stock rom and its procedure to install as well...
Best of luck with searching and flashing the stock rom:good:

If you don't have a backup of that file (either made by yourself or the rooting software you have used), then 'unrooting' cannot help. That file is gone.
I went through @Sadronis's LUZ17E rom dump, extracted install-recovery.sh and attached it for you. But next time, please remember to backup the original file before rooting since especially for non-Nexus devices, stock ROMs (and thus files inside them) are not easy to find.

Update Available 2.19.401.2

Here you can download OTA, fresh firmware or system image to update your device.
OTA_M8_MINI_UL_K44_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_2.19.401.2-2.18.401.3_release_448048.zip [41.2 MB]
firmware.zip only [19.6 MB]
2.19.401.2_boot_system_2015-09-21--20-48-04_KOT49H.zip [TWRP] [1.15 GB]
Downloads: mega
​Let's see what's underneath
Main difference, I believe, is a security fix (libStageFright). I assume, that's it:
/system/framework/android.policy.jar
/system/framework/conscrypt.jar
/system/framework/framework3.jar
/system/lib/modules/moc_crypto.ko.sig.3.4.10
Zip also contains lots of *.p files (odexes, apk, jars mainly). Viewable through windows explorer. Don't know, what's that. Looks like a hash or a signature.
OTA includes firmware.zip containing {boot, hboot, recovery}, which can be opened through WinRAR (7Zip 15β failed). If you want just firmware, take it. Should be fastboot flashable.
*Additional notes*
Next lines describe my experience before I returned the device state to nearly stock.
Hello there. )
Want to share my experience. I have 2.18.401.3 and got promt to upgrade to 2.19.401.2.
Basically, as I get it, you need original recovery and that's it. (Pushed original kernel just in case. Also device is unlocked (tampered))
But under updating process the script mechanism checks some files to be original. Many system odexes, framework stuff and some libs.
My update failed on checking Books.odex (meanwhile, this app was deleted and redownloaded as user-app)
So, I might try to edit updater-script later or just copy files from update to folders they belong. The ota got a simple and obvious updater script for people who used to deal with them before. I'm considering delete parsing part or just push on screen what gives fail, but let updating happen. Need to be tested with system backup.

I tried to update from recent backup (the one before I changed kernel and deleted system apps), but facebook.odex didn't let me.
Finally, the very first backup did it. I took only system and boot, switched twrp recovery to htc, skipped all setup and installed OTA over fresh system.
Here you go. Now you have TWRP image of this update.
BTW, kernel version is different. CL build number is the same.
Hi,
can't I just flash it somehow with TWRP?
The standard update way does not work for me, because of changed *.odex files.
Already tried to flash original recovery etc.
Thanks

Unfortunately you cannot flash this with TWRP.
Is there a possibility to install this update (or any OTA updates) without having a "not-touched" system?
I could of course flash the TWRP recovery (what I've already done - it worked) but in that case I lose all my modifications. Is it possible to restore the TWRP recovery from that post and afterwards restore my own recovery without overwriting the system files which are needed to be up to date?
Thanks

You can try to restore the TWRP backup in the post. And yes, you will lose every mod since it is a backup of the stock, unrooted firmware.
The main problem of flashing the OTA zip would be that you will have to relock the bootloader before installing . So if you unlock it again, the internal storage will be wiped. The best way is to backup everything(Including the internal storage) and then proceed.
Actually, you can save your data while upgrading from non-worthy stock.
So, you may do this
Full backup, you never know what can go wrong.
Save or make a note of what you changed by yourself in system (from busybox to xposed & various modes.). You may use TB for sys-apps and simple file copying for modes. *
Restore updated system image from 1st post, so you have updated system.
See if it worked out and restore/reinstall your other system stuff.
* Remember, you still may access files of your twrp backup images through some archiver. Like I do using 7-Zip.
It's very important to save backup somewhere, cause it might be that my image can be not absolutely clean or can be not absolute right for your phone (like sell location difference). So it'll be easy to return back to working machine.
For this purposes I also setted up my TB for daily auto-backup of texts and settings and weekly backup of apps.
---
Don't sure about relock for upgrading. It seems to be launching, but it needs pure system and original boot & recovery. Some fastboot-magic helps here. That's how I did it after restoring to the very first backup.
So I have build number 2.18.161.3 rooted software on Vodafone, and received an OTA update build number 2.18.161.5-2.18.161.3. Obviously when I come to update it it goes to my custom recovery and can't go any further.
A couple of queries though I wanted to delete all the bloatware from my stock rom, after rooting I found I needed to S-Off as the bloatware keeps coming back on reboot so here are my queries.
Can I delete the APK files from the new OTA update and will this remove them if I install the OTA as a zip through custom recovery. Or can I use this update to wipe the bloatware from it all advice would be helpful

For bloatware removal just push a custom boot.img. Liberty kernel or dt2w presented here works fine, you may try them at least with making a backup of original kernel at first. (Custom made kernel might give you permission to write to /system without being s-off.)
I used liberty one, recently flashed the one with double tap to wake, works perfectly fine. Even sd is fine.
I'm not into kernels, perhaps as long as they suit your device they are fine.
OTA have its script, if it has such strings or if you write it into the script, you may delete some apps. Maybe, didn't try nothing with ota scripting. It easier to find working universal bloatware removal script as flashable zip package.
Otherwise, ota just adds some stuff or replaces current stuff.

If it has EE applications then it is an EE branded phone. Your updates will arrive differently and will have a different software number. So using the Europe zip will not help.

Excellent thanks for the reply so in short,
Grab the downloads from above (4 in total?)
Push and override existing TWRP recovery back to stock recovery (Dumbass Details would be helpful as I have not done this in ages)
copy the ADB the new rom to the phone (Again please forgive me as I have not done this in a few years need a memory jog)
Again thanks in advance

If you'll ask more specificly, I'll provide even shorter reply. )
As I get it, you ask for some short check-list / instruction
You need one of three files I uploaded, based on what do you want. )
You can flash big 1 gb system image v2.19.401.2 through twrp.
You can grab small upgrade package and update your 2.18.401.3 by yourself to have 2.19.401.2. Original firmware and fresh rom state might be needed.
You have other needs, you need just freshest kernel or etc., you grab firmware package and try hook it with bootloader or unzip and get the thing you need.
Pick the option and I'll write simple instruction.
I forget to read your previous post. ) So, you have 2.18.161.3 Vodafone. With root privileges (half-root, I assume)
So, yes, you need to restore original recovery of yours. Then it could handle the ota. If you can get it somewhere, you can update. You can get it in vodafone firmware (big package with everything) or if someone made recovery backup earlier.
My upload contains files for non-locked (operator's) devices.
As long as your phone has operator's rom, I can't give you proper advice. I assume, other recoveries/kernels/etc. might not be ok with your device due to hardware lock or difference.
But you can try always, if you sure you can handle it and revert or if you read on your situation enough. I can't advice you here on 100%.
But. If device is just a device, and roms are just roms (and some operator's special version is just a rom), you can flash other system and kernel and see what happens.
You may do a complete backup and save it somewhere and do one of the following:
Flash firmware.zip* contents, then go to TWRP and format all partitions except sdcard, then flash system image from above.
Just flash some custom 5.1.1 release. I use NostromoPop. It much smoother and it's lollipop.
*Firmware.zip contains boot, hboot, recovery. All that was for 2.19.401.2 but presumably can work separate. So you can get what you want and flash through adb. Like boot and hboot for proper device work on 2.19.401.2, or just recovery to try your vodafone ota w/o dramatic changes.
For futher safeness, you can backup hboot and boot or what you want.
I can recommend you to try custom sense-kernel for system write privileges.

As I get it, you ask for some short check-list / instruction
You need one of three files I uploaded, based on what do you want. )
You can flash big 1 gb system image v2.19.401.2 through twrp.
You can grab small upgrade package and update your 2.18.401.3 by yourself to have 2.19.401.2. Original firmware and fresh rom state might be needed.
You have other needs, you need just freshest kernel or etc., you grab firmware package and try hook it with bootloader or unzip and get the thing you need.
Pick the option and I'll write simple instruction.
I forget to read your previous post. ) So, you have 2.18.161.3 Vodafone. With root privileges (half-root, I assume)
So, yes, you need to restore original recovery of yours. Then it could handle the ota. If you can get it somewhere, you can update. You can get it in vodafone firmware (big package with everything) or if someone made recovery backup earlier.

Sorry to be a pain and your help is invaluable but just trying not to screw this up, My phone has been unlocked to all networks, and I would like either a stock rom bloatware free or a custom sense rom.
The phone is still S-On but I have unlocked the bootloader (Obviously). I Kept the stock rom hoping to use titanium backup to remove the bloat however I quickly found out the phone needed to be S-Off to remove it completely because as soon as the phone rebooted the bloatware re-installed it's self.
This is how I have the OTA update sat on my phone, I only Rooted for SU privs and put on TWRP everything else was stock. I did as a question in another post "Could I remove the APK from the OTA Zip on my phone then install it using TWRP and would that remove the bloat" but no response to that one.
Any help would be greatly recieved

Simply flash custom kernel: like liberty sense or stock sense w/ dt2w.
It will unlock the opportunity to write on every partition. I mean system, cache, etc.

Hi
I will assume you have the virus I have been seeing lately that wouldn't allow you to reset the phone, where in reset option the automatic restore option remains checked and you can't uncheck it.
The only solution is through TWRP, you need to enter TWRP, erase Cache, Data, System then flash the Lollipop ROM again or stock from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...one-mini-2-t3250020/post63859743#post63859743
So there is no Rom available that's pretty much stock without bloatware that I can install with twrp? If not is there some idiots guide to putting my stock recovery back on thank you all again

You can just jump to c636b190.
You need to download the file and extract the dload folder which contains the update.app file. Place the folder in the home direction in your phone's internal storage and then go to Settings > Updater > Menu > Local update.
All languages are supported in all roms.
One thing I'd like to ask is if this rom (c636b190) is android v5.0.2 or not.. Because my phone came with that one installed and I liked it pretty well, then decided to go for Marshmallow but I was disappointed by it and then got my device softbricked. Luckily, I had TWRP installed and I flashed a custom ROM. Now i reflashed the stock Huawei recovery and via ADB sideload I ended up with the first, stock Lollipop firmware (5.0)
If you have any other questions, I am here to answer because I have good experience in installing updates and flashing roms.
I can't get the rollback to work at all because I want to go back to lollipop to root and unlock bootloader but the error I get is at about 4% after it verifies then fails PLEASE HELP and I'll give likes and stuff

How do I install the stock Cricket ROM again?

final edit: finally got the officiall RUU to work
installing the microsoft files within this edit below allowed me to install the RUU rather than it auto-crashing after accepting the TOS (its in reference to another HTC phone but it still works for the 510)
and I just did this on the latest pre-Anniversary edition of Windows 10, for whatever reason the in-rom/phone installer would download about 56mb of an "update" and when telling it to install would reboot and get stuck on the bootloader screen (the screen you see when holding VOL down and PWR) and not proceed, not to mention it only was going to install 1.11.506.1, now I have the actual latest cricket version 1.11.506.8 installed
im not 100% certain if the following segmented edit file is needed or if you will be able to install the RUU directly overtop of CM or any other ROM you had, I would try first with the official RUU and if it only says "update" then install the ROM file in the segment below this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53081344
main reason for doing this is horrible battery life and annoying "finding GPS" issues with the CM11 versions for the 32bit GSM phone basically making it useless to utilize gmaps offline mode and my phone being drained entirely after a normal day usage vs the "bloated" stock ROM which is at 80% each day over the last week of each days use.
and zero SIM usability with the CM12.1 version making it virtually pointless, might as well just install a linux OS on it if that was the only choice.
================================================================
first edit:
found a copy of original non-updated cricket ROM here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57807126&postcount=10
===========================================
original post:
I have unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed.
I downloaded the stock zip from htcdev but its missing META-INF according to installing process in TWRP. trying to recover it wont work either because when you extract the zip file and put those in the TWRP backup folder, TWRP doesnt see it as a backup option
The custom "stock" debloated ROM's arent a suitable replacement because they are all built on 4.4.2 and don't have the dot 3 update which HTC pushed out for this phone with latest features/security.
do I have to relock the bootloader or what?
edit
answer posted at the top of the OP
===============
okay so the new issue is that HTC pushed out a system update from the stock but when I go to install it, it reloads and ends up in the bootloader but doesnt install, I relocked the bootloader but its not working
I even tried to go into the TWRP recovery and install the ZIP that was downloaded to the Android folder in the phone but that didnt work either
