Yes.
Moreover, if you check "Nand erase" you will be left with hard-bricked device that can't be un-bricked without backup.

[Q] How do you update OTA with Team Win Recovery?

Hi,
I downloaded the 4.3 update OTA and when I try to install it, the phone boots into TWRP. I don't know where the OTA update saves.
Does anyone know where I can find the file or how to not restart into TWRP when trying to do the update?
Thanks
Which file you've donwloaded?
Are you using the stock rom with only root and you get the notification of the ota?

Yes I am rooted on my stock ROM. I received the notification and have downloaded the file.
Found the file under downloads, however it won't install with TWR....
This is normal.
You must have the stock recovery and a bootloader locked/relocked for install OTA...
Ah man....
wanna direct me in the right direction on how to do all that? :laugh:

Hi @Guich, couldn't he just pull the firmware package from the zip file and flash it in fastboot RUU mode, I was wondering, cause I may need to this for a friend, cause he can't get S-Off atm.

need to know your version, post a "fastboot getvar all" but remove IMEI and serial number before posting.

The firmware will upgrade the hboot etc, not the OS
And, however, in s-on you can flash only the zip signed by HTC.

I just flashed the stock recovery and installed the OTA, left the bootloader unlocked. Then flashed TWRP and re rooted. Locked bootloader was fine.

To be able to apply an OTA, unless I'm mistaken, you need three prerequisites:
1- go back to "stock rom"
2- go back to "stock recovery"
3- lock/relock your bootloader
then you will be able to apply the OTA successfully. Using a "custom recovery" (TWRP or CWM) will not allow the OTA to install.
from you're initial post, it looks like you are already on "stock rom" but with "custom recovery" (TWRP). you need to replace TWRP with "stock recovery" (note that this will wipe your internal storage)
in order to find out which recovery is stock for you, running a "fastboot getvar all" (removing IMEI and s/n before posting pls) will show which firmware version you are on, so that we can point you to the correct "stock recovery"
the command is run when your phone is in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, connected to your PC, and then from your PC you type something like "C:\ADB\fastboot getvar all" depending where you saved the adb sdk.

Hi, how do you flash stock recovery?
If I do that, would I lose all of my information on the phone?

Most probably yes, last time I flashed stock recovery it wiped my internal storage.

no need to relock, just "stock ROM" and "stock RECOVERY".

no, you have to flash it using fastboot in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recover>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
sometimes, flashing stock recovery wipes sdcard, so backup everything to PC first!

post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n) to see which version you need.

I'm quite sure you dont need to be locked. If you have a completely stock ROM, you will get the update notification, even on custom recovery, but you will not be able to install it until you go with stock recovery
Are you sure it's out yet for your country/carrier?

T-Mob? I just checked your previous post and you have CID HTC__102 and MID PN0710000, so it's a WWE edition phone, and you are right there is an OTA available: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ota_m7_...-24-401-8_release_338160gxmo5sd9337kadux-zip/
The only reason for it not to show on your "Settings -> About -> Software update" is that your ROM is not stock. what are the details of your ROM. you need to go back to stock rom, and you should receive the OTA

I'm bored plz hepl!!!

hi to all
i have stock rom {sense 5 with android 4.2.2}
i unlock the phone from htcdev but in fastboot the word TEMPERED above the unlock and i can't go to recovery when i choos it

Which recovery?
However do an erase cache after each flash of a recovery.
The command is:
Code:
fastboot erase cache

Nexus Developer images.
I've wiped cache, formated userdata.
It boots with an unlocked bootloader, but when you lock it it just bootloops.

Multiple times.
Did you use the flash all.sh or flashall.bat? Cause that doesnt work! You need to flash the system images manually! Fastboot flash system system.img and so forth! Extract the images from the .zip

I totally miss that post, yes, I manually flashed everything. Below is my "list"
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
#Name Radio...
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.55.03a.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot

"fastboot flash boot" Instead of "fastboot flash recovery"

Hi; i make a terrible mistake, i wanted to flash stock recovery (only stock) and i put the comand : fastboot flash boot instead of fastboot flash recovery :/
And now my phone wont boot all what i have is recovery...
I really need my phone (my only one) right now
Please i will be so thankful...
