Newbie here on OTA updates

Hi, bear with me while I explained what I did before.

I installed cyanogenmod on my HTC ONE, but felt that it didn't suit my liking so I tried to flash it back to stock ROM. I'm totally newbie to flashing n stuffs, so I heavily rely on advice I googled.

I used the instructions on HTC1guru, which I flashed the Guru Reset M7 3.63.707.4 using CWM "sideload". It returned my ROM back to the original, which has the android ver 4.3. Now I tried to install the latest firmware through OTA, the 4.4 kitkat. It downloaded the file, installed half way then I saw the screen has that smartphone logo with a red mark and it stucked at there, which I have to long press the power button to turn the phone off.

My phone status:

-bootloader: Relocked, Tampered.

-S-ON

-the flashlight application isn't there.

-Everything seems fine for now.

Now my question is:

1. How can I update the kitkat through OTA, or do I have to flash a stock rom with the latest firmware?

2. Do I have to S-off to update?

3. The tampered sign, does it affect anything?

I'm really new to this stuffs, and I really appreciate all the helpful advice from you all. Thank you.

Hi - i have just recently rooted my one and the phone is on 4.3 and sense 5.0

I am looking to flash my first rom but want to understand a few more things before doing so

1- the newest version of insertcoin rom is for 4.2.2 and sense 5.5

can I flash the newest version or do I have to find the version that matches my 4.3 and sense 5.0?

2- twrp question - when wiping - do I need to do an advanced wipe with or will the swipe to factory reset wipe be sufficient?

thanks in advance

Htc one international

Hello I have the international htc one and I was on cyanogenmod 11 and I had a very recent snapshot(January I believe) then I was using a rom update utility(RUU) and I realized that I had a newer image version than the RUU(3.62.401.1). And you guessed it it failed midway and now there is no OS on the phone and my recovery isn't working. To make things even better I have S-On and my phone is not recognized in the PC in fastboot mode so I can't change to S-Off. And my bootloader is re-locked. So for now I think the only way is to wait for a new RUU and run it but that may take like months. Does anyone have any suggestions? And any help is appreciated!

I copied over superuser.zip to my device via DropBox, ran it it CWM, rebooted, and I'm rooted. Verified, as I now have SuperUser status. So that's great, but I'm still having connectivity issues. Perhaps it has had something to do with the drivers all along? Can you provide me with a suggested link(s) to the correct WinXP drivers?

When I connect, two things happen:

1) HTC Sync launches, but gives me the error that it cannot connect to the device.

2) Windows offers to launch an Explorer window. The HTC appears as a device in my list, but I cannot read/write to the directory list. In fact, the directory list doesn't always appear, so I'm now more convinced that this has been a driver issue all along.

Kindly share suggested drivers - thanks for the help!

Need help getting into recovery?

Hi I got an htc one from AT&T and I unlocked the bootloader already but when I try to flash the recovery nothing seems to happen when I try booting to recovery. It just restarts the phone. Anything I could have done wrong or can do to get it to work? Thanks in advance!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRDroid:
Four questions, not sure how noob-y they are.

1. I have a completely stock AT&T One with an unlocked bootloader. Yesterday I could do bluetooth calls through my car's radio, today I cannot. Any ideas on how to fix this or why it would have changed? I checked the bluetooth settings and the box to use my car for phone calls IS checked.

2. I really want to get on an international version ROM. I want a mostly stock rom that I can flash a few mods to (mostly back button as a menu button) and that I can get the camera update with (I heard this resolved some people's bluetooth issues too, so maybe this will address #1 as well).

3. If I root my phone and install Rom Manger (I have the premium version from back when I had an Moto Droid), can it take care of flashing recoveries on the One yet?

4. I've had to set up my one and install all the apps like 4 times in the past 2 days. Can I root the stock rom and use either Carbon or Titanium to backup all my apps and data before flashing to a different ROM or does rooting wipe the device?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
Yes, as with any phone, it doesn't matter which kernel the ROM uses because you can flash whichever one you'd like to.

Check the stickied FAQ and see Q10 and see if that will help. Not too sure if it will or not though.

1. I'm not too sure but hopefully what you mention in question 2 will sort it out for you.

2. Just be sure to read the OP of the ROM threads becfore flashing them so that you're aware of what features the ROM has and how it looks, so you can then make your decision based on that.

3. I suggest staying away from ROM Manager because, even though I haven't tried using it for myself, quite a few people in this forum have mentioned problems/issues surrounding it. The more secure method is to follow the tutorial in the development forum and then you'll easily be able to get it done.

4. Yes you can because the only stage which wipes your phone is unlocking the bootloader.

Hi All.

I have never owned an Android device, but am considering jumping ship from the iPhone. I do have one super simple Android newbie question that I can't find the answer to after hours of searching:

If I get the unlocked bootloader version directly from HTC, does that mean I can flash stock 4.2.2 on it?

If so, where can I get that image?

I know that I will lose Sense, that I won't have Zoes, and so on and so forth. But for my very first Android experience I want to run 100% stock so that I can see what it looks like and get used to that, before exploring manufacturer skins. If I can't do stock on the One, I may just get a Nexus 4 instead. But the One is so much sexier and the number one smartphone feature for me is a great camera; where obviously HTC One > Nexus 4.

Thank you very much in advance for helping out an Android newb.

I am on T-mobile and wanted to buy the developer edition of the HTC One because I heard that they don't come with the carrier bloatware installed and get the updates faster without having to wait for the carrier to release it, and better storage. But I have seen that the developer edition does not have the 1700 band for T-mobile's hspa+ for 3g/4g. My area does not have LTE and is not reframed to 1900, which means that I am only going to be able to get edge/2g data speeds, which is really slow. I know that the T-mobile's version could solve my problem, but I want to know if there is any way for me and others to buy the developer edition and make it work on T-mobile's 1700/2100 bands. I've seen that the model numbers were identical between the developer edition and T-mobile's HTC One. Is there a way to like flash the T-mobile's bands or something to enable the missing 1700 band on the HTC One? Also, since the developer edition comes with an unlocked bootloader, does that mean I won't be getting any warrenty from HTC?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mexico619:
Buying the unlocked bootloader doesn't mean you can flash stock 4.2.2 on it. It just means that it's unlocked for you. You would still need to get a custom recovery such as clockworkmod or twrp and then look for to see if there's a rom that had stock android 4.2.2. Cyangenmod is usually one of the top developers that make stock roms. If you don't want to go though all of this trouble you can just download nova launcher which will give it an appearance of having stock rom but everything else would be sense such as the camera and multitasking. You can read up more on nova launcher by googling it. I hope I helped!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mexico619:
If I was you I would just buy the tmobile version since you aren't in a refarm area and I don't think it's possible to flash the tmobile bands to the Dev version. And you still get a warranty but if you decide to root then they may not replace it or anything without unrooting it. I hope I helped!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotrider1:
Just a quick question about the HTC One from a newbie. If I bought the unlocked sim HTC One 32gb from HTC.com, would I be able to unlock its bootloader and be able to flash custom roms? Also, since the HTC One that is being sold by HTC without carrier branding, would I get faster updates on the latest android os without having to wait for the carrier to do their stuff?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mexico619:
Yes you would be able to unlock it though it doesn't already come unlocked for you to say. And yes if you decide to stay on the stock rom then you'll get updates from htc instead of whatever carrier your on. Hope I helped!!

Welp, I'm not a newb. I've been rooting and romming for almost 2 years on 1 single device prior to this one, but I'm sick of being talked down to over in the AT&T forums when i ask a question or make a point. So I'm coming here for this simple question.

I have Bootloader unlocked, rooted, TWRP flashed, 2 minor functionality tweeks flashed. For whatever reason, my pictures do not show in gallery when I tap on it. They show up in phone storage as pictures. I can access them via USB. The file path is internal storage/DCIM/Pictures, on my comp. I can access them if i go through camera. I click on a pic and checks details and the file path says storage/sdcard0/DCIM/pictures. Could anyone kindly explain to me what is going on? I haven't tried a Play Store app yet to see if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody! :)

I have a question about the One : if I buy the One in Europe (I live in France), do you know if it will be possible to use it on the 3G/HSPA AT&T network in USA (I will go in USA for holidays...)

(The HSPA frequency for the european HTC One are : HSPA/WCDMA : 850/900/1 900/2 100 MHz)

(And I see on Wikipedia that AT&T 3G/HSPA frequency are 850 and 1900 MHz...)

So it seems to be possible to use my HTC One on AT&T network when I will be in USA, right?

Thanks in advance for replies! ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
1. You can update via OTA if you get an OTA notification. Otherwise you may be able to download and updated RUU for your region/phone. The OTA update could fail, due to the missing /data/preload files that vanish when someone roots the phone.

2. If there's no update for your phone's mid/cid, you must be S-off to flash an update from a different region. Or you could install a stock-based ROM, which would be very up to date, and might be more to your liking than CyanogenMod.

I assume you meant version 4.4.2. You can flash any version you want unless there's a firmware incompatibility, and there isn't (between the Android 4.3 firmware and an Android 4.4 ROM). Regarding the factory reset, you need to wipe three partitions: cache, dalvik cache, and userdata (except /sdcard data). I never remember whether the default wipe covers all three, so I always do the advanced wipe just to be sure.

How were you flashing a RUU if your phone isn't recognized in fastboot mode? I would fix this issue, then try flashing the RUU again. Or the newest RUU you can find. If that fails, you can unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, and flash a custom ROM. As I told someone else, if you don't like CyanogenMod, you can try a stock-based ROM. ARHD has few or no visual changes from stock, just usability improvements.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autumnholy:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

1. I tried download via OTA update, and as was mentioned, the update failed. Some files might be missing. Even the flashlight stock app is not there.

Please advice me how I could update via OTA.

Do I have to:

1. S-off or something to solve this problem?

OR

2. Download a stock RUU with android version 4.4.2?

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
You wiped data (or when you installed Android from a CWM backup, the person who made it wiped /data before he made the backup). The flashlight probably lives in /data/preload, which doesn't exist anymore. You probably can't OTA upgrade. You can look for a RUU matching your phone's CID, or you can install ARHD, which is a custom ROM that's mostly stock-like (rooted, and with other tweaks and added customizability). I strongly recommend it, though its installer is a *****. If these options don't suit you, you can try to get S-off and install a RUU that's not intended for your phone's CID, but I haven't ever tried that. You may need to change your CID/MID first. And if you S-off, don't ever turn S-on again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autumnholy:
Hi, thanks for the advice. I googled around, saw the RUU for HTC one, but those are kinda like older version. I checked with getvar-mainver and mine's like 3.++ and the ones in those RUU available are like 1.++.

Hello.

Is there any ROM for HTC One that would be completely stock Android, no Sense, and stripped from most of unnecessary Google apps and services?

I'd like to change my phone but I am looking for something like NeatRom Light/SuperLight on Samsung Galaxy S2.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonAndress:
First, thanks for your answer :)

Yes, I see my mistake now :)

So my goal is to have clean Android (no tweaks from HTC, no apps from HTC, no Sense); if aplicable some tweaks from XDA gurus that actually help speed, stability and usability; preferably stripped from Google apps and services which are not necessary for the system to work properly (such as Maps etc).

My end goal is to have a system as neat as possible ;) no background data usage, no background battery drain etc.

As I have on my SGS2 with NeatRom SuperLight right now.

If I should provide further information, please direct me a bit ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
You want to put a Ford's engine in a rocket, so there probably aren't ROMs that accomplish this (of course, you can look). But you have two choices: use an AOSP ROM like CyanogenMod and don't install gapps (but then you won't even have Google Market), or use a ROM based on the Google Play edition and freeze/disable the apps you don't plan to use. If you use Titanium Backup to freeze apps, make a backup before you start freezing stuff, because you might break the system that way.

Either way, you should find which apps are using data (in system settings) and disable their background data (the option is on the same screen). But it seems I can't disable background data usage of "Android OS", which I suspect is big enough to bother you. BTW, I think you overestimate the performance and battery penalty of Google/Sense software. It doesn't hurt if you don't use it--for example, I don't sign in to the Sense/Facebook integration program, so it doesn't use any data. I think I even disabled it, and it doesn't run.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonAndress:
Thanks a lot for your explanation.

But I don't really understand the analogy to Ford's engine :)

As I understand it, by stripping from all unnecessary bloatware I kind of tweak the engine, add an extra turbo, no? ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
For example, if you don't enable location settings, you lose the ability to set reminders in Google Now for when you arrive at a certain place (home/work, usually). If you remove gmail and maps, what good is a smart phone? Remove the invisible program that syncs your data, and now you have a dumb phone. Instead of a car, you have a bike with no seat. But at least it goes really fast.

My point is, that stuff is there for a reason. Some of it is true bloatware. Some is just something you will never use (like Blinkfeed), but that can generally be disabled with no impact on performance, memory, or free space. I would also advise you to be very skeptical of anything that claims to "improve performance" without saying exactly what it does and why that improves performance.

Features (if you use them and they aren't somehow hidden/disabled) typically cost performance. However, you have a very powerful phone. Maybe in the past, normal system operations cost 15-30% of a phone's capabilities. On this, it's probably closer to 1%. You can make that even lower, but you will lose useful capabilities of the phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonAndress:
I think get your point.

But then, what's the point to cook an alternative Rom if you don't want to strip and tweak it?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
You absolutely should if you want to! But why do other people do it? If you look at this page, you'll find that people often want to make visual changes, root, and install mods that change behavior. They usually add more than they remove. (But everyone removes Kid Mode, because I don't think anybody actually uses that.)

Note: many of them have installers that do let you pick and choose which system and Google software gets installed. You might find that useful--use it to drop the programs you'll never use. Still, it doesn't actually create any performance benefit, besides that a system backup would be a couple seconds faster.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonAndress:

Maybe I see this as a benefit because I come from quite old SGS2 and for that phone it actually makes a difference if Android is stripped or not ;)

Can't get into recovery

Htc one jelle bean slim bean rom w/twrp recovery

Hi guys, ahead of time thanks for any help, I've been trying to be self sufficient and apologize for too easy and researchable q's, I was able to root my own phone w/self research, bqking77s videos what not, and used htc dev to do so (s-off) installed slimbean rom , no issues. Its been working well 3-4 mo, yesterday I tried to flash a file that's supposed to disable my secondary microphone b/c my best guess is the rom wasn't working well w/it? making my videos w/unusuable sound

So I flash this "disable mic zip" and now 1) I have a incessant pop up error that says "unfortunately com.android.phone has failed" 2)I can't get into TWRP recovery from the power menu or from the bootloader/fastboot - it just cycles back into the bl over and over, I can't do a factory reset from either the system menu in slimrom or I cant factory reset from the bootloader, same thing, goes back into the bootloader screen and 3) I have no data cellular service, but everything else works but ican only hit keys in between the <1s of time I get b/w each pop up

I read about using fastboot on windows and using that w/my HO data cabled in to force a factory reset but still kinda stuck, downloaded fastboot to my windows 8, extracted files, but im not getting a usb option in my bootloader menu...wondering if I installed the fastboot on my windows improperly, it seemed straight fwd, when I run SDK manager (which arein the instructions im using) DOS comes up for a few seconds than disappears

If you guys have any great ideas I'd love to appreciate it, Ive never posted questions on here, as Im trying to be self suff, kinda frustrated when sprint says they cant do anything even though its not a hard brick, I have to revert it myself then they can help me (well that's useless but w/e)

Update: ok "fastboot usb" is now showing up in my bootloader menu at the top, I just need to know how to run things via cmd prompt etc...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
I think your easiest course of action will be to re-flash the newest TWRP and hope it works. Because if a custom recovery can't work, you have a serious problem. But if you want to try simple things like formatting cache/dalvik/data, here is the procedure:

You need to open a command prompt (cmd.exe on windows). If you haven't properly installed fastboot, the command won't be found so you can bandaid that by navigating to the directory where fastboot.exe lives (I think it's something like this command: cd "c:\\Downloads\\temp files\\")

Then you can run the follow commands:

fastboot format cache

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format dalvik

Note: I'm not sure if the dalvik cache partition name is "dalvik". It's a guess. Also, the "userdata" command WILL wipe /sdcard as well as all your data. Good luck.

You probably need to return it or have it serviced. It sounds broken.

But if it's not, the standard procedure for issues like this is to turn on USB debugging, connect to USB and capture the output of "adb logcat" while the problem is occurring. Search the output for words like "network", "wifi", "wi-fi", "wireless", etc. But really, unless you've been flashing weird stuff, this isn't your problem and you're not obligated to fix it.
