[Need Help From Experts] Fix An HTC One From A Big Mess - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All I wanted was to upgrade my Rooted M7 to the latest software upgrade, so long short story I flashed recovery to TWRP and my M7 got stuck on logo. I know that I should install a ROM, but I don't know which one I should download and how to install it. How can I fix that? FYI you are talking to a noob :crying:.
Additional Information:
UNLOCKED
M7_UL S-ON
HBOOT 1.57
OS 6.09.401.11
HTC_J15
TWRP 3.0
More Information:
I have downloaded theses files see if I can use it:

Are you able to access TWRP recovery?
If you can you can use my Nandroid backup here. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722641162
Extract the zip on your desktop. You should get a folder and a zip file.
Copy the folder to the TWRP Backups folder on your device using MTP in TWRP.
Location :- /TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXXXXXXXXX/.
Return to twrp home screen and select restore. Then select my backup. Once that's complete you should be good. Reboot from recovery. TWRP may ask if you want to root the device at this point but it's best to wait until after the updates are installed.
To install the ota you need to flash the Stock recovery back to the device. You will find it in the zip file that came with the backup.
Open the zip file on your pc and extract the recovery.img. Copy it to your fastboot folder and flash it like twrp
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once that's done reboot the device and it should be ready to receive OTA updates. You will need to install 4 or 5 updates to bring your device to the latest. So just keep going untill no more are available. Once you've installed all the updates. Reflash TWRP and root the phone :good:

Thanks for replying, the file you provided is damaged I think, it should be 1.2 gb but I can download only about 88 mb of the file and its damaged. By the way, I wonder how can I copy the folder to TWRP using MTP

The uploaded file is fine. It's been downloaded and used many times. How are you downloading it? Through your browser or with a download manager?
Newer versions of TWRP recovery allow MTP connection while in twrp. This allows you to copy files to the device in recovery mode just like if you were doing it in Android. I have not used TWRP 3.0. myself so can't confirm it supports MTP. I'll check and get back to you :good:
@mohdhasan3 can you provide a link the the TWRP 3.0 download you flashed please?

Dear Danny,
Could you check the link for me or upload it to another site, because I checked the two links in Mozilla and Opera with download manager and without with VPN and without its always about 88 mb file
This is the link for TWRP 3.0:
https://dl.twrp.me/m7/twrp-3.0.0-0-m7.img.html
I see now the MTP Device yeah it just like you said. I can see a TWRP folder and a TWRPS File with no name inside the folder. So I'll add a new folder naming Backup and wait for your working link.
By the way, thanks for helping I appreciate your effort

I e checked it and your right, there seems to be an issue with the Mirrors. I can upload it again but unfortunately I'm still waiting for my fiber broadband upgrade so it may take some time to upload. I will update you here once it's ready
Unless I can find somthing else where that you can use :good:

Ok, I'm downloading it now I'll keep you in touch :highfive: :good:
@Danny201281 By the way, when I entered TWRP before maybe an hour there is something popped up asking I think to be able to do modifications by swiping the arrow or to Keep System Read Only, so I pressed Keep System. I don't know what is it but I hope that I didn't messed up again.

No it's fine for the moment. But if you are going to use custom roms after the update you will want to change it to read/write :good:
Were you able to figure out how to use mtp in twrp to copy the files to the device?
Here's a link to the Stock recovery https://www.dropbox.com/s/iej6thyyjakwgjc/recovery.img?dl=0

Yes, I'm. Now I'm extracting the zip then I'll copy the folder as you said to TWRP/BACKUPS/********* :good:
Updating Progress:
Putting the folder in TWRP/BACKUPS/"In Here" will not work. So I did a backup to see where it goes. After it completed, the Backup saved in TWRP/BACKUPS/SH35********(Device Serial[1])/2016-02-19--11-28-11(Today's Date)/"In Here". Then I replaced this Backup Files with the Nandroid Backup Files.
[1] Device Serial can be found with ADB writing in the command prompt opened from the ADB folder location after connecting the device to the PC and enabling USB debugging "adb devices"

You succeeded -my bro- in restoring my M7 again to normal thank you very much :victory:, but still didn't reach my goal I'll continue now in progressing and will keep you in touch :good:
Updating Progress 1:
After I downloaded the latest OTA, I installed it. M7 rebooted then it went to the recovery that showed up with red triangle, pressed the three combinations Power + Volume Up + Volume Down I got the recovery menu, then I wiped cache partition and the red triangle went to I think green likely circle. Rebooted, tried again it starts to updating then after maybe about a quarter of the updating bar red triangle showed up again saying installation aborted. Rebooted, then tried again -here is my problem from long time- OTA was deleted after I went to check for updates now I'm downloading again and will try one more time. I need your help my brother @Danny201281
Updating Progress 2:
Same. Installation aborted after almost half-quarter of the updating bar then red triangle again. Help is appreciated.
I think I know the solution now, but first the error is same like this except the Package:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
L50QCT.01.102.008
Package expects build fingerprint of htc/vodafone_uk/m7:4.4.3/KTU84L/366813.9:user/release-keys

this device has htc/vodafone_uk/m7:4.4.3/KTU84L/366813.5:user/release-keys.
Installation aborted.
Write host_mode:0 done
The one had this error fixed it and said that he installed the wrong recovery
As you can see that your link OS is 6.09.401.11 but the link you provided OS is 6.09.401.12 maybe thats why the recovery is different from each other. What do you say

Normally such a small difference shouldn't cause a problem but let's try the correct recovery I found a firmware zip download link below ?
Download this firmware zip. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952612395
Extract it on your pc and use the recovery from it. It will then match your Rom

FINALLY I UPDATED MY M7 :victory:!!
I made a great progress. I opened the OTA that I had from the start -its the same as the latest OTA I was downloading- and opened the firmware.zip and extracted the recovery.img from it, flashed, downloaded OTA again from device, installed it, and succeeded in upgrading to the latest OTA. I recommend for anyone have this problem too to download the latest OTA from device, copy it to desktop, extract recovery.img from firmware.zip inside the OTA, flash, then install update and it will work PERFECTLY :good:
I don't know how to thank you my brother you are GREAAAT :fingers-crossed:. Thank you very very much. All credits goes to @Danny201281 for fixing my device.
If you may could I use more of your services?
If I can how can I install ROMs and how can I S-OFF M7?

Yes you can now flash custom lollipop roms, the process is fairly simple. Choose the Rom you want. Download it and copy it to your devices storage. Reboot TWRP recovery and install the Rom.
To gain s-off your only option is Sunshine app. It's not free to use unfortunately but its very simple and effective.
All other methods have either been patched against by HTC or discontinued by there developers. Rumrunner still works but only for devices with hboot 155 or below. ?

[Q] CM nightlys fail, used to work???

i have been downloading CM nightlys to my pc, copying them to my phone's internal storage, then flashing the zip using recovery (twerp v2.6.3.0) successfully for 3 or 4 months. I found CM Downloader app on the app store and down loaded that. I set the setting to automatically check for a new build, and download it. it did download the new builds although they failed to flash. 3 days after this started happening, CM came out with a 'snapshot' version. that one flashed ok. but the 'nighly' builds no longer flash. I have uninstalled CM downloader, and tried downloading them to the PC and copying them to the phone, that no longer works either. I have reinstalled CM downloader no change. so I think there is something changed on the phone that needs to be fixed, or reset or something. I appreciate any ideas here, I am still entry level skill level, so be gentle

OK, I have downloaded the 2 files. placed them in a directory near my root directory on my pc. placed the phone in fastboot usb, opened a command prompt window from that directory. typed in fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-m7wls-2.7.0.9-05-01-2014
and I get error: cannot load 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-m7wls-2.7.0.9-05-01-2014'
per a video showing how to flash recovery, I also tried the command adb reboot bootloader I get error : device not found
back to my pc, I open device manager, and I show a device labeled android device that is working properly.
stumped at this point.
is updating recovery the same as the initial install of a custom recovery?
do I need updated drivers for win 7? where are the latest? all videos say they are the latest, but that was when they were recorted.
thanks for help!
Yes u need updated drivers....any easy solution however is go and get the app flashify u will need root of course...it allows u to flash recovery that is on ur sd card. Just choose the img and flash recovery in the app then reboot into recovery and u will be good to go.

Thank you!
Thanks to both of you, updated TWERP did the trick and Flashify allowed me to install it without the fastboot, and PC hookup which was not working. Latest nightly installed, I am a happy camper!
Ok, let me get this straight, snag this Flashify, then snag TWRP 2.7.1.1, flash it with Flashify and I am golden????
(I am unlocked and S-Off running CM-11)

All u have to do is update your recovery. So u can grab the latest TWRP and flash it any method u wish. Fastboot is best but flashify is the most convenient. After u flash your recovery the CM Rom should flash perfectly. Note: If u experience any failures in flashing any Rom that u know is good just downgrade your recovery via which ever method u prefer and that should flash fine now. You can always use the recovery zip floating around on the android development thread I'll see if I can find it for u.
Here u go bud http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656065
Note if the flash fails try a older zip until it works and flash the twrp by TD. Don't forget to thanks rootlinux for the zips. Might also want to keep the zips in handy on the phone storage incase the Note situation appears.

I got it with fastboot, I forgot I re installed windows since I did it initially, so I was pulling my hair out wondering why fastboot wouldnt see it, and I couldnt even get files to or from it till I installed HTC sync.....heh
thanks for the info.....

Can't install Sense Update due to TWRP

Hello everyone! I bought some months ago a HTC One m7 and up till yesterday I had no problem with it. It is rooted mainly for backup and utility reasons so as you can understand it still runs on it's factory ROM 4.4.3 with HTC sense 6.09.401.10.
Yesterday I got a notification for Sense update to version 6.09.401.11 saying that it fixes some bugs and enhances the in-call experience so I downloaded it. After 3 min that the download was done, I tried to install it. Phone began the reboot process and it restarted into recovery. Then this showed up in the log:
Code:
Updating partition details...
Processing AOSP recovery commands...
E:Storage partition '/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/
Unable to locate zip file '/external_sd/=CxDyCw
E:Error installing zip file '/external_sd/=CxDy
Done processing script file
And nothing happens. The phone just stays in TWRP until I manually reboot from the menu to the system. I can't find the update file anywhere to install it via the "Install" button so I don't know how to do it manually. I have TWRP version 2.6.3.0 and I've been trying all morning to access the "teamw.in" website in order to download a latter one but there seems to be some kind of problem that gives me a timeout.
Please if anyone has any idea on what I should do I would appreciate any kind of feedback. Thanks in advance.

Hello!!!
Custom recovery is only for flashing custom ROMS...........
FYI if you want to install update then change the recovery to stock and follow the update procedure......
research before asking these kind of silly questions and don't create threads unnecessarily.

It reboots to recovery on its own. It's not like I get to chose. All the previous Sense updates were installed normally after I was pressing the "Install now" button but this one goes into recovery and stops there. There are no posts regarding version 6.09.401.11 since it came out yesterday and that's why I posted.

There are no posts regarding version 6.09.401.11 since it came out yesterday and that's why I posted.

Hello. If you've installed TWRP, your stock recovery is overwritten by it. Hence to install OTA updates, you must reflash your stock recovery. Twrp CANNOT install OTA updates.
Thread closed. This has been covered hundreds of times. IF you want to use the OTA updates you have to be stock.

[Q] Where can I find Tmobile US Stock Recovery 6.10.531.10?

Hellos guys,
I am trying to find the stock recovery for T-mobile US 6.10.531.10 (NOT 6.10.531.9) . Does anybody has it or point me on the right direction? I want to update my phone through OTA so I can get lollipop however I cannot find the stock recovery.
I am S-On all stock except for the recovery, I had TWRP so I can make backups. Now I want to install back the stock recovery so i can upgrade but I don't seem to find it anywhere. I managed to find the RUU but the recovery image is not inside the "rom.zip" on my Temp folder when I run it. These are the only files that it shows:
android-info.txt
dzdata_16g.hdr
dzdata_32g.hdr
dzdata_64g.hdr
tp_HMX852XD.img
boot_signed.img
dzdata_16.img
dzdata_32.img
dzdata_64.img
Am I missing something? Please help. I have tried to find it the whole day with no luck.
Also see the the screenshot.

just run the Lollipop RUU, same as the OTA but its the full thing rather than an OTA: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-t-mobile/news/ follow the manual update instructions, download is at the bottom.
edit: it will wipe your phone, so backup anything you want to keep first.

Seanie, thank you for your reply. I need the stock recovery because precisely I was trying to avoid wiping my phone. I am just a very small step away to be able to update without wiping, I just can't find this stock recovery. Why is it that the recovery.img it is not inside the rom.zip RUU? Am I missing something?
Currently I flashed the stock recovery 6.10.5310.9 and i tried to install the OTA but when it gets to the recovery it looks like it starts installing moving the green line a little bit but soon after I get a red triangle and stops, which I am assuming it is because i do not have the proper recovery.
Any help so i do not need to wipe will be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

ok, you cant take it out of the RUU.zip as its an encrypted RUU, so take it out of the OTA.
download the OTA as normal, but select install later, then plug your phone into the computer and copy the OTA.zip to your computer from your phone, its in the internal storage, downloads folder, its just a zip file, so once its on your computer, open it with WinRAR or whatever you use to open zip files and in there you will see firmware.zip, open that too and take out recovery.img, flash it like any other recovery, then reboot and try and update again.
If the OTA then fails again, it will be down to modified system files or root, you will have no choice but to backup and use the full RUU.

oh I see. Thank you very much...quick question though: I am currently on version 6.10.513.10 the OTA is to upgrade to version 7.18.513.2, if i extract the recovery from this OTA i will be flashing the 7.18. recovery, isn't? Don't I need the recovery from 6.10 in order to be able to upgrade? If so, this is why i was looking also for the 6.10.513.10 OTA but I cannot find it.

the OTA will check to see if you have 6.10.513.10 or 7.18.513.2 recovery, cant be anything earlier than those 2, current or previous, recovery update by the OTA will just be skipped.

I see! Great news! Good to know. So the OTA can be install with a newer stock recovery (matching the OTA I presume).
I am currently at work without my cell phone but I will try this, as soon as I get back home and post the results.
One last thing, to flash the stock recovery is as simple as "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (or whatever the recovery file .img name is), correct?
I do not need to lock the bootloader in order to upgrade using the OTA as long as everything else is still stock. ...I do have root though, but I also read that this shouldn't be a problem either, correct?
Thank you sooo much!

No need to lock the bootloader for an ota, root might be a problem as it modifies system files, just give it a go, and yes, the flash of the recovery is the same as any other recovery file.

Seanie, all went as expected! It worked. I was able to extract the recovery.img file from the firmware.zip inside the 7.18 OTA zip file that was downloaded to the internal storage. Then proceed to flash it as any other recovery with fastboot. Afer that, the OTA update installed with o problem. Having root did not mattered. I did have to root it again though.
Thank you so much for your support!!! :good:
Worked for me as well, thank you.

[Q] Phone Freezes after updating to Sprint HTC One (M8) Software Update 4.25.651.14

I received a push notice to download and install Sprint HTC One (M8) Software Update 4.25.651.14 which was released on 4/9/15 with Wi-Fi Calling enhancements. My phone is rooted. I use Super SU Pro. I use TWRP (Sprint) for my custom recovery. Never had any problems with applying previous OTA updates. I connect via ADB shell and flash stock recovery for version 4.20.651.10 currently installed on my phone. I use One_M8_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 to perform the shell commands.
I apply the OTA update in the stock recovery from my phone and everything looks good, but when the phone restarts it gets frozen in the white "splash" screen where it says "HTC One powered by Android". I waited over 15 minutes and nothing happened. I was able to recover my phone by booting into the bootloader and flashing TWRP then restoring my nandroid. I could see in the bootloader screen that the firmware was updated to the latest version.
Does anyone know what is causing the phone to freeze after the firmware is updated and the system restarts?
I tried to manually install the OTA zip file using TWRP from my phone to update the software. I selected the Zip file saved in the phone's root folder and used TWRP to apply the update, but got an error message that it "failed".
Does anyone know what steps are necessary to manually apply the OTA software update?

I believe it is is still true that you cant OTA with a unlocked bootloader regardless if you reinstall the stock recovery. You need to relock bootloader install stock recovery. It is much safer and easier to wait until there is a flashable firmware upgrade. The OTA did not install correctly hence the white splash screen.
Look here and READ carefully and install the right zip.

Guess I should have noted I move it
flash the recovery from the ota.zip in fastboot then rename the ota to update.zip and manually install it from the stock recovery. also "fastboot erase cache" before booting your phone. Btw if you are using xposed(or any scripts) it can cause problems, reinstall any mods after first booting the phone.

I'm assuming you're s-on? From what I know if you have a system file that has been modified, the OTA won't work, you have to have a stock non-rooted ROM if you're going to take the OTA.
Check out this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173 if you're s-on relock your bootloader first.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Thank you Vcek. It sounds like I need to do these steps while tethered to my PC in the ADB shell? I will try this method. Maybe one of my mistakes was I did not use the stock recovery from the latest OTA.zip. I had used the previous version OTA.zip's stock recovery to perform the software update installation from my phone.
Some people say I need to RELOCK the bootloader but I have never needed to do this to perform any of the previous OTA.zip updates. In fact, updating my rooted phone has been very easy until I ran into this problem with the latest OTA.zip update. I simply flashed the previous OTA.zip stock recovery tethered to my PC in ADB shell, then ran the latest OTA.zip update saved to my phone's internal storage while my phone remained rooted. Of course, after the OTA.zip was installed, I had to run SuperSU.zip in TWRP recovery from my phone to re-root the phone. Everything was always perfect after those steps.
I don't want to RELOCK my bootloader because then my phone internal storage will be wiped. I am trying to keep my phone from returning to a factory fresh installation. Perhaps there's a step in between that I am missing to restore the phone's apps and data but when I use TWRP to restore my nandroid, the previous OS is restored too.

mukeshdaiv thanks for reporting your similar problem with this latest OTA.zip update. I think our solution to this problem is to manually install the update from the ADB shell tethered to a PC to run the commands to override the phone's recovery. If your phone is still frozen just press the power button while pressing the volume down button to get into the bootloader, then tether your phone to your PC and run the ADB to flash TWRP or other custom recovery and then restore your nandroid. After that, you will see that your phone's firmware was updated to the latest version. So all that's left to do is to update your phone's OS. That's the part I am not sure how to do in ADB.

You don't use ADB-you use a RUU (ROM Update Utility), which is a exe file run from your computer. The RUU includes both software and firmware, as well as the stock recovery.

S-off is not required. You'll need to relock your bootloader using the command fastboot oem lock. Then double-click the RUU to start the installer. Once it starts simply follow the prompts on your computer to complete the process. For more info hit the second link in my sig and scroll down & read the RUU section.

Magnum_Enforcer thanks very much for your guidance, I really appreciate it. Relocking the bootloader and then unlocking it (so I can re-root my phone) will wipe my phones internal memory, right? How do I restore my Apps & Data with my nandroid since it will restore the previous OS. Then I would have only updated the firmware and the latest OS would be replaced by the nandroid, right? Or am I missing a step? I'll read up on your RUU instructions and do some searching. Thank you!

mukeshdaiv I am glad you were able to restore your Nandroid. Now we need to figure out how to apply the latest OTA.zip for our UNLOCKED (rooted) phones without losing our Apps and Data. I was informed in this forum that we need to run the RUU.exe that OMJ has posted. I asked OMJ to confirm that the RUU.exe will also update the OS (not just the firmware). AND that it can be installed without losing my Apps & Data. I've been told in this forum the bootloader needs to be RELOCKED. That means to UNLOCK the bootloader to ROOT the phone will wipe the phone's internal storage. I will not do that. There is no way I am going lose my Apps and Data to update the OS. I for one will not start from scratch. I have not received a reply from OMJ. I also asked Captain_Throwback the same question if there is a way to apply the RUU.exe, update the firmware and OS without having to wipe my Apps & Data. I have not received a reply from Captain_Throwback. At this point, I think I will need to move to more resources to get some help and answers. I wish you good luck and if you find a solution that works for your phone, please post it here, and I will do the same. Thanks!
i'm having the same problem where y phone is stuck at the white htc one screen as you, and haven't been able to get it to restart from there. i restored the stock recovery and started the ota and it looked to install right but i'm stuck where you mentioned. i think maybe i forgot to relock the bootloader? anyway, i've tried holding the power button and everything and i still can't get anywhere. any help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: i was able to get into the bootloader, and after rebooting it just stays at a black screen right after the first powerup screen. dunno where to go from there though.

T-Mobile HTC One M9 Not Receiving Nougat OTA. Unable to flash Nougat RUU as well

Folks,
I recently purchased a preowned HTC One M9 in good shape. The phone does not appear to have been rooted, s-offed or any such thing. It looks bone stock. It currently has Android 6.0 on it. and software number 3.39.531.41
It has been over a month since t-mobile has rolled out the nougat update for the HTC One-M9 and I have not received any update on the phone. I constantly keep checking if the phone has an update available but the phone always says no update available. I gave up on the OTA being rolled out for the phone so I downloaded the Nougat RUU which is 4.27.531.6 .
When I follow the procedure for installing the update I got a signature error 132 . Now I know that error shows up when the phone is rooted or is s-off or any such thing but my phone seems to be completely stock. Does anyone know why I cant install the RUU or receive OTA updates to Nougat for my phone?
I think I figured it out. I contacted T-Mobile support who told me to contact HTC since the HTC servers are responsible for pushing out updates. So I contacted HTC customer support and shared my IMEI with the representative. She looked up some information on the HTC database using the IMEI number and told me that my phone was a store demo phone and that demo phones are blocked from receiving updates from the HTC servers. Oh well.
Hello,
Just got the same phone with same error. If someone provides me with 0PJAIMG.ZIP, I can test and see how it goes. So far update from phone >> didn't work; RUU update >> didn't work. same error
Thanks
I had the same problem some time a go what you have to do is to check if its relock and has stock recovery. If yes first flash 3.39.531.41 RUU before you can flash the 4.27.531.6 or the OTA. But my receives the OTA alright but could neither install that or RUU

So it has to be locked with stock recovery? Then flash ruu 3.49 ad then the newest version?

i think first decrypt RUU then manually flash whole Nougat ROM.

i found a way i have demo set when i use 4.27.531.6 RUU its saying signature error so this is what i did
i download OTA from link here http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_TMUS_MR_TMOUS_4.27.531.6-3.39.531.41_release_497409trrpztkwvabkx6lv.zip
after that i just boot into recovery mode and then select an opton Updae via ADB
rename file to OTA.zip then open command prompt located to where file is and then run below command
adb sideload ota.zip
let the process finish it will take a while. especially when HTC logo appears it took 5 min but i finally have nougat

Hi,
Thanks for the info. However, I couldn't get into the recovery mode. Either from bootloader -> "Boot to recovery mode" or via command "adb reboot recovery", after the phone reboots, the screen will show a phone icon with triangle. Then after awhile the phone will restart normally. I can't get to step to do sideload the zip file.
I also put the above ota.zip on a micro SD card and load the card in the phone, then boot to download mode. In that mode, it shows the following 2 lines:
FILE /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/0PJAIMG.zip
File NOT FOUND
Where do I find that missing file?
Thanks

I think your recovery file is damaged. Thou i am novice in this but i think you should run RUU of existing rom it may repair your recovery then try this method.
OK,
I found the 0PJAIMG.zip for version 3.39.531.7 in this forum "https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-one-m9/general/please-read-rooting-using-twrp-t3069022"
I put that on my SD card and was able to update the phone from Lollipop to Marshmallow.
However, after that update, the phone still won't update from Marshmallow to Nougat using the file RUU_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_TMUS_MR_TMOUS_4.27.531.6 downloaded from htc website nor the OTA.zip downloaded from this thread. The phone keeps having the same Error [132] Signature Error. Or it won't go into the Recovery mode to do sideload of the OTA.zip. If the original Recovery file (from Lollipop) was bad/corrupt, wouldn't the Marshmallow update correct/fix that file?
So, do we have any other idea to upgrade the phone from Android 6.0 to 7.0? Does anyone have a 0PJAIMG.zip for 7.0?
Thanks

In order to OTA to work which is in this forum you have to be in 3.39.531.41 first find RUU of this version run it then go for OTA.
Noted that you wont be able to update from marshmallow to nougat using RUU you have to use OTA but for that you must be in version 3.39.531.41 .
Ok. I was able to install 3.39.531.41. I will try the OTA now

I updated to version 3.39.531.41 but I am still unable to get to Recovery mode on my phone. It keeps showing the red triangle with exclamation mark.
So, is that correct that I am now having two choices (besides obviously stay with Marshmallow)
1. Need to somehow fix the recovery mode on the phone? It is a demo unit so I don't know if that has anything with the recovery not working
2. Try to download the 0PJAIMG for 4.27 (Nougat) and install from sd card. I did find the file from AndroidFileHost website, but the phone gave error when it tried to load the zip file from download mode:
12 RU_ZIP_ERROR
FAIL 12 RU_ZIP_ERROR
Do you have a reliable source for the OPJAIMG file for Nougat?
I did a research on the 12 RU_ZIP_ERROR and found an instruction for AT&T from developer Blueberry who suggested "If you're on Marshmallow base, first of all you need to upgrade your firmware and then flash this 0PJAIMG zip file via download mode in otherwise you'll be getting "12 RU_ZIP ERROR" during the flash process. No Wipe Firmware Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120692233"
The above was for AT&T but I found the no_wipe zip for TMobile, however, I don't know how to upgrade the firmware on my phone using one of these files
the firmware no_wipe files are here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=134381
The file I downloaded is "firmware_tmous_4.27.531.6_NoWipe.zip", but like I said above, I don't know how to update the firmware.... Can someone give me some directions?
Update: I renamed the file "firmware_tmous_4.27.531.6_NoWipe.zip" to "0PJAIMG.zip" and tried to update from download mode, but the phone gave error: 8 RU_SIGNATURE_FAIL.
Another research indicated that since the phone is S-ON and Locked, these firmware wouldn't install because they were not signed. Where can I find signed firmware for this phone?
Thanks

I don't know much now but we can try RUU of 3.39.531.41. It should solve your recovery. But the question is where you can download that?? Try finding a link mean while i am uploading it to my google drive then i will share link. Since i am in third world country it will take time. I will update you as soon as it is uploaded

To continue on to recovery mode, try this:
" If a device with a red triangle and exclamation point appears, Hold Power while pressing and releasing Volume Up to continue."
As for the 3.39.531.41 RUU, put the zip from this link into your external SD then boot into fastboot/download mode. From that point on the phone should automatically recognize the .zip and install from there.

Thank you much! I will try everything you suggested now. I really appreciate your help!

I downloaded the RUU from above link [https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911969398], but after installing, the phone went from 3.39.531.41 back to 3.39.531.7. Was the above zip file really the 531.41 version?
I tried to reinstall the 0PJAIMG for 531.41 downloaded earlier, but the phone said signature error.
I tried to install using the OTA zip from this link [http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA_...kwvabkx6lv.zip] from Recovery mode but the phone said "E3001: Package expects build fingerprint of htc/himaul_tmous/htc_himaul:6.0/MRA58K/690290.41:user/release-keys or htc/himaul_tmous/htc_himaul:7.0/NRD90M/869604.6:user/release-keys; this device has htc/himaul_tmous/htc_himaul:6.0/MRA58K/690290.7:user/relea
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted
You have any idea to go back to 531.41? Since the OTA message seemed to indicate it expected a 531.41 version?
Thanks
Ok. I was able to get back to 3.39.531.41 by getting the 0PJAIMG from AndroidFileHost.
After that, I went to Recovery Mode (using pwr + vol up after seeing the red triangle), chose Apply Update from SDCard, selected the OTA file for 4.27.531.6. This time It didn't give any error, at the end it appeared to get stuck for a long time at the line Script Succeeded Result was [/preload]. After about an hour, I turned off the phone and on again, now it is stuck at HTC logo splash screen.
Questions here:
1. Was the phone really stuck at the "script succeeded" line?
2. Didn't I wait long enough?
3. What should I have done at that time when it stopped at that "script succeeded" line?
4. What should I do at this splash screen? It has been like that for the last 10 minutes
Thanks
