Flash the Android 4.3 Build [Clean FLASH or Keep Data /w Flash] Root Available

*I'm not responsible for anything you do with this. I'm just trying to contribute back to the community*
Prerequisites
1. YOU MUST BE ON THE FACTORY IMAGE (NO MODIFICATIONS that means no custom recovery, kernels, radios, etc)
**User Impo5sible says its possible with custom recovery and kernels I'm not 100% sure so YMMV*** *ANOTHER EDIT - USERS REPORT GETTING STUCK ON NEXUS LOGO if you have a custom rom/kernel and not using the -w command to wipe DATA)
2. YOU MUST HAVE ADB & USB Driver for the device (I used the SDK file from google and PDAnet)
SDK /w adb & fastboot Link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
PDAnet Link:http://pdanet.co/
3. ENABLE USB Debugging via Developer settings
(press the build button 7 times to activate it the "settings --> about phone --> Build Number --> go back --> Developer Settings --> Check USB Debugging)
4. Android 4.3 Image can be obtained from Google
Image Link: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
When you have all of this installed... you may proceed
Step 1: Use 7zip or compression program equivalent to extract the stock image file that is .TGZ
Step 2: You should see a stock image file that is .TAR...extract this once again with any compression program (you should see a butt load of flash files)
Step 3: Plug your device in the computer (USB debugging should be enabled & I recommend switching the transfer type to PTP/Camera)
Step 4: Launch command prompt (start --> run --> "cmd")
Step 5: type in command prompt "cd directory where you have the adb & fast boot"
for example here is mine "cd C:\Users\MC704\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130717\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130717\sdk\platform-tools"
Step 6: Verify that it is detecting your device by typing in command prompt "adb devices" (YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR DEVICE HERE ) if not recheck usb debugging & camera ptp... unplug and replug the phone back into your comp
**take a breather we are almost done**
Step 7: Turn your device off and go into fastboot mode (Hold Power Button + Volume Up & Down)
Step 8: Unlock your bootloader by typing in command prompt "fastboot oem unlock" [THIS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR DATA]
It will prompt you to unlock the Device
Step 9: Remember all those files you extracted from the ".TAR"? Copy them to the same folder where your adb and fastboot files are
Step 10: ****************VERY IMPORTANT************* DO THIS IN ORDER
I got these commands from the flash-all.sh file
Type in the command prompt each step one at a time and wait for it to complete
"fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot -w update image-occam-jwr66v.zip"
***NOTES FOR THIS STEP***
*REMOVE the -w from the last step if you want to keep your data (assuming your bootloader was already unlocked)*
***User chrisjcks noted you can use the flash-all.bat file that was in the zip to make life easier***
Step 11: Enjoy! If you do not plan on putting any custom roms or rooting etc. I recommend rebooting into fastboot mode (Hold Power Button + Volume Up & Down) when the phone is unlocked and type in the command prompt "fastboot oem lock" (you have to have USB debugging & PTP camera enabled)
If I missed out on any steps, please do let me know I will update the OP.

or you could just unzip it, and double click the Flash All bat file. :laugh:

My bootloader is already unlocked so I would skip step 8. In this case, would it still wipe all of my data since this is not an OTA or will it just upgrade my OS leaving the apps/data/etc intact? I've done this process many times before with the factory images, but I thought it always wiped the system.

If you remove the "-w" from the last step it won't wipe data

There are always exceptions but I'll note that in the OP for people to see. I'd wrote the guide with the intention of a no failure rate or possible errors.

mc704 - in most cases that would be true - but the Flash-All.bat file is inside the ROM itself.
its as safe as you can get.

I'm on stock 4.2.2, but with custom recovery and kernel.
If I want to get those back to stock, can I just connect my device in fastboot mode, go to command prompt and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
?
I have the JDQ39 factory image, and will make sure everything is in the right directory.

To avoid losing data, unzip image-occam-jwr66v.zip with 7 zip.
Now use fastboot to flash bootloader, boot, radio, recovery and system. everything except userdata.

Look in Settings => About

easy way
For me, All i did was extract the package and edit the .bat file and remove the -w in the code. Then ran it under fastboot. It updated my apps and updated to 4.3, no data wipe.

thanks OP got mine updated to 4.3 without -w

Who would like to remove root?
And to summarize:
If someone has stock rom, rooted, with custom kernel, all he has to to do in order not to lose his data and rooting is to flash everything except: system.img and userdata.img?
After that, he will have the update with all data still available?

Device stuck on black HBOOT with no custom recovery and fastboot is not working

I am in a massive dilemma at the moment. I recently upgraded my phone using a stock RUU and was unhappy with the way it was working, due to no mobile data. I have been trying to apply a new RUU to my phone but it is not working, I have recently found out that my bootloader is black and that fastboot does not work at all.
When I request a device list in CMD nothing happens and CMD just prints a new directory line, and whenever I issue a command it just says <waiting for device>. I understand that without fastboot I will be unable to install a custom recovery and therefore unable to install a new ROM. I have tried my laptop and a desktop computer and they both do not work, so I'm guessing it is the phone even though I am able to send adb commands.
Any help is appreciated.

Hmm...are you able to boot into the recovery? If yes just restore it with the backup you hopefully have made

Unfortunately there is no custom recovery installed, I can load recovery but it just shows a black screen.

Does the pc make any sound when you plug in your device ?

Device is recognised while running android and makes a sound, but when in bootloader the computer makes a sound but I get an error message saying that the USB device is not recognised.

make sure that you have the latest driver installed and usb debuging has to be on (settings/devoloper options)
---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------
you said that fastboot isn't working at all so you aren't able to flash for example a custom recovery
you can use adb commands to enter into recovery and to copy a rom zip to your device
then you should be able to flash the custom rom
perhaps this can fix your problem

Drivers are installed and USB debugging is on.
I've already tried adb reboot recovery and it doesn't work just shows a phone with a red triangle so I'm guessing there is no recovery installed, so I'm in an infinite loop.

Yeah just really confused as to why my computer recognizes the phone while on android o/s but not on bootloader.
Another thing to note is that fact that when I enter FASTBOOT it does not display FASTBOOT USB straight away. I have to press either one of the volume keys and then it switches to FASTBOOT USB.
Here are some pictures of the error message I get in Windows.

So I'm guessing that when I boot to FASTBOOT it is trying to read the CD Drive and it is unable to read it. I have tried to deselect the HTC Sync debugging but as soon as I do the developer debugging also deselects and vice versa.

Your phone appears to be stuck bewteen two firmwares hense the os showing up in red in your bootloader.
would I be correct in assuming you did the following commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip
fastboot reboot
as opposed to:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip
fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip <- yes it has to be done twice, the first one will report failed, the second should succeed.

If your asking about how I installed my current ROM, I downloaded a RUU exe and installed from my desktop.
If your asking me to try those steps now, I can't. FASTBOOT does not respond.

[Q] HTC One, No OS

So I recently rooted my HTC One m7 (unlocked US gsm version) and everything seemed alright.
Somewhere between installing a new rom (ARHD 84.0) and restarting my phone, I managed to wipe my phone (everything is gone, no os).
I managed to get myself back into recovery mode but since my computer no longer recognises it, I have no way to put an OS back on.
I have tried:
adb sideload
adb push (although I might not be doing in right)
RUU
For clarification,
my bootloader is unlocked and I can access it from cmd
Upon restart, the phone just stays on the HTC logo screen
TWRP can be accessed, but the phone has no OS or rom to install
does anyone know what I can do to get my phone to a working state? (restore it, put a new rom, I don't really care)
Thank you very much

Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.

You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone any ways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didn't install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

your TWRP is too old and you can follow the Prerequisites above step 2 and 3 to get your driver fixed

In device manager, my phone has no errors related to driver (whether I choose "my htc" or "android adb interface") cmd still shows no devices.

If you are in Android/OS then USB debugging needs to be enabled in Settings before ADB will recognize your phone. If you are in an updated Custom Recovery then ADB should recognize your phone.

Can you manually get the phone into bootloader? If so, with it connected to the computer do you see FASTBOOT USB?

connect your phone to your computer, boot it in bootloader/fastboot usb mode. Open windows device manager and take a screenshot.
post the screenshot here

When in bootloader / fastboot usb mode your phone should be listed in windows device manager as a "Android USB Device --> My HTC" not "Android ADB interface"
Its either because you are trying to do fastboot commands when not booted in bootloader mode or because your drivers are not installed correctly.
install latest htc drivers, reboot in bootloader mode and try again
---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------
latest drivers can be found here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/jgt1b5bc2stwf/Drivers
4.14.0.001

updated the recovery image, turns out I needed to restart my computer. will post follow up

Everything seems to be working great again! I want to thank everyone who took the time to help me today, so thanks!

It's works without pc. Just download it's latest firmware from ASUS official web, put the zip file to sd card then install it by recovery mode.
