So I have rooted 5.1.1 and I want to update it to 6.0 via standart sony update over the air. I don't need root anymore and just want a clean 6.0. However after downloading the update phone says its have to reboot to install the update and after that phone reboots in to TWR recovery and nothing happens. Then I click "reboot" and the phone does a standart reboot and then says "update failed".
I tried to delete NDR Utils app but result is the same. Any thoughts?

Rather than try and update the phone, force it to repair the phone. Follow these instructions.
Repair will replace the recovery files and you should be left with 6 (no root)
Be advised that 6 still isn't fixed yet, with lots of bugs and problems still to solve, there is an update due soon that addresses some of them, but personally I think it's too soon to be stuck with a broken OS, just so that I can say I'm an early adopter.

For the Z3c it's only a few weeks, but if you don't believe me, have a read of the MM thread to see how well it works before you start the update.
Wait for the update from Sony, that should fix stuff

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?

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....

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?

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 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?
Hi,
Since yesterday, my phone ask me to do an update (screenshot [FR]). if i answer no, it ask me again later, so i finally answer yes but it reboot my phone and ask me again if i want to do the update.
Any idea ?

This is an issue many people have. Download it, then on the screen that says: Install now, Install later, or Don't install choose Don't install. Go into Software updates and remove the check mark from Auto-download system updates and it shouldn't bother you anymore. Hopefully soon HTC will release an official RUU with the update included. As of now there is no fix. I contacted HTC and Boost Mobile Technical Support and they both said there is nothing they can do about it.

Stock recovery is probably the answer
One a different device I had (a younger cousin to our fine desire 510) you couldn't apply updates without the stock recovery. I'll dig up the links of anyone is interested, but I'll bet that's the issue. I read a rumor that no one has a copy of stock recovery (can't remember the reason)? If so we're gonna need a RUU, then apply updates, then reinstall twrp and other goodies. I've got an update in the pipeline, now I know not to waste data on it
Edit : I didn't read close but one of the guy says he got update to install with the stock recovery and provides linkshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/help/update-fails-to-install-t3076841
Hello everyone
I received the 6.0.1 update but I can't download it. It keeps on saying retry download.
I tried to restart and nothing happened.
It may just be a server overload. And I believe that once it's tried it reschedules you while it moves on to other devices, so just keep an eye open for the next one and try again.
If you don't want to wait, you can always sideload the OTA using ADB (you don't have to, but you have an option - assuming your phone is stock)

OTA (or sideloading the OTA) will work only if you are stock. If you have custom recovery, OTA will fail to install

I was completely stock. No twrp.
That was then... Flashed 6.0.1, twrp and the boot image and apk that @doitright is working on, and I got Root sans the triangle pop ups.
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.
Hi guys,
since some weeks I've got a problem with OTA official update.
To make a long story short: by doing the small update (9mb) of patches attached, when the device restarts, the same notification will continue to return the same update.
The installation is recognized as correctly when is done, but when reboot, if I do "search for updates", always returns this, which I have already done several times, as I never did before... but I did!
Is there any way to solve? I tried to delete cache and data from the app "system update", but it doesn't work.
Apart from the hassle of always receiving this notification, I would not like this "missed" update prevent me from receiving other important updates, such as the next update to Android Pie.
At the moment I've got a CTL-L29 8.1.0.156 (C432).
Can you help me?

i'm not talking about root. i'm suggesting you perform a factory reset with the stock recovery, and if that doesn't work, then install twrp and use hurupdater with the firmware files to really go back to the freshest install. using hurupdater will install the stock recovery as well. that got my updates to finally stick
