Are you planning to unlock your bootloader at all?

I am having great difficulty returning to stock ready for the update as I don't have a completely stock nandroid backup and I haven't been able to find anyone who has. :(

If you decide to unlock your bootloader could you possibly perform a nandroid backup before installing a custom recovery and rooting and post it on here :D

This can be done by following these instructions:

4.Boot your device in fastboot mode (like you did during unlocking bootloader - power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "FASTBOOT")

5.Open up command prompt ( Start > Run > type cmd and hit enter ). The window that appears is called Command Prompt. <click here to see the image>

6.Navigate to where you unzipped "mini-sdk" package (type in Command Prompt: cd c:\mini-sdk). Note: make sure the path is not c:\mini-sdk\mini-sdk

7.In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot boot recovery.img

8.Command above will not permantently flash custom recovery, but it will just boot it. Why? Because that way we can backup your original, stock recovery image before we replace it with custom one.

9.Perform a nandroid backup.

Thanks to Mike for these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265618

I realise this a very big ask but it would really get me out of a serious hole and I would thoroughly understand if you didn't wish to perform this procedure. :D

No problem :)
[One (M7) General] robboski:
I'm a newbie here.....will unlocking allow me to get camera update quicker
[One (M7) General] bobsie41:
If you unlock, you can flash a custom recovery and there are many custom roms in the development section which already include the latest fixes including the camera update and all are then easy flashable.

If you decide to go down this route read this guide very carefully http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 ( It's not as daunting as it looks but don't forget (like I did :rolleyes:) to make a nandroid backup BEFORE you install the custom recovery then you can return to stock to receive the official updates whenever you like.

Of course, I have a vested interest if you decide to do this as I require a stock nandroid backup of this rom to get me out of a mess and would REALLY appreciate it if you could post that file here. If you require any help with this, I would be more than happy to assist either on this forum or by p.m. :D

You can't flash the zip with CWM you need the stock recovery I believe and to rename it update.zip and then flash it that way.

If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me.
[One (M7) General] ajftl:
If he stock rooted running cwm he either needs to flash a custom rom with that update already in or if he wants to stay stock but get update he needs to reverse to stock recover and lock bootloader if he unlocked it then try update

Has any one in UK got this 17MB update?
[One (M7) General] smudgelab:
I'm in UK on an unbranded HTC from P4U. I have one I recieved in April and It's on 1.29.401.12 with camera version 5.0582172. I ordered another "ONE" (sorry) for my son and it's just arrived this AM. It has software version 1.29.401.13 and the same camera version though. I've checked on the older one and there are no software updates available apparently.

Taking a picture with the old and new, the new definately has more "contrast" / less grey / more dynamic range... not sure how to describe it really.

These were just very quick pic's in the house and a totally non scientific test though.

Gotta go out so haven't time to upload pics just yet, may try when I get back this evening...

[One (M7) General] aGoGo:
Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue updating my wife's rooted and unlocked HTC One.

I flashed stock recovery for the process to go smoothly but the update is always stuck at roughly 25%. I switch off the phone, it tries again and gets stuck again at 25% with a red mark.

I tried deleting the update and downloading it again through the GUI without luck.

I suspected 3rd party mods like the battery percentage hack, but it still didn't work after reverting it.

P.S. I also have an HTC One, had an issue updating because I had CWM, but the update worked like a charm when I flashed stock recovery.

Yeah, you are not getting it today lol.

It's been pushed back. It's in testing (has been since I first posted to give you an idea of how close it is) and should be pushed very soon (days, rather than weeks from what I understand).

Sorry I could have told you this a week ago but been busy. Will keep you updated.

With the slowness of EE at doing anything it wouldn't surprise me if they found a way to delay it until next year.
[One (M7) General] bobsie41:
Have you any idea which part is proving so difficult and time consuming to test?

They have the same firmware\software that all other carriers were given. EE are not adding any of there bloatware so 'testing' is an absolute joke. If EE decide that, after their 'testing,' it is not up to their high standards like 1.28.401.7 (ooops sorry...1.28.61.7) then what is there next course of action? Are they going to recode everything for us? Are they going to send it back to HTC so that they can redo the update for EE's benefit so that they can maintain their superior standards?

Meanwhile.......we are stuck with the perfect 1.28 which did, incidently (I must assume), pass EE mobiles rigorous testing.

Do they think we are stupid?
[One (M7) General] OriginalBilly:
YES.

I have no idea why they need to test it or anything like that. As far as I am concerned it's just a simple push out. There is nothing to be added. Obviously it isn't working like this though.

It is extremely annoying. I am waiting for the update too.

How do I fix that without losing my data or restoring my data from backup
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
No idea.

Maybe there is some kind of installation log and you can figure out which files it barfs on, and then try to replace them with original ones, and keep doing it until it works. Or just accept that you will need to do a nandroid backup, then backup your apps and data (e.g., Titanium or Helium), restore an original ROM and then restore your apps and data and then apply the OTA.

If that fails, restore your nandroid and try again. At least you'll know at the end of it that you have a backup system that works, before you actually need to use it and find out the hard way that your backup doesn't suffice.

Do you remember which version you had previous to this? We all have 1.29.40.12 for UK sim free. I believe 1.29.401.13 is for Europe and "M7_U" model. UK model is "M7_UL". Last OTA which UK models received was titled OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.12

I'm on EE via Orange and still no update... so my phone is on the 1.28.61.7 build which came pre-loaded. Now my friend on Three (3) got his update weeks ago...

[One (M7) General] smudgelab:
yep, I get and understand everything you're saying and even have a little sympathy with it. My issue however is that I have an EE / Orange sim card in the phone but the hardware (and firmware) is completely and utterly, unmolested by a carrier, 100% stock HTC. They've released the firmware to other countries, what on Earth is the delay in releasing it for mine? What's the problem with putting the OTA file on the web for download / update. Rant over and back to patiently waiting :).

Edit - oh aye, I'm on 1.29.401.12 for clarity, I'm on about the mini 17MB download to take mine from .12 to .13 as per my son's newly bought ONE...

Any ideas why I haven't had it?
[One (M7) General] akhil8377:
Can you tell if your son's phone is "M7_U" or "M7_UL". I believe UK is suppose to be "UL" and Eurpoe "U". UK version is still on .12 whereas Europe is on .13 or .16, not sure. If your son is also a UK - UL version, then we can hope to get this 17 mb update too in near future!! as of now not even sure whether we are getting this 17 mb update.
[One (M7) General] Dr Asqueroso:
Where is the phone from? My pal got his via Three online sales and upgrades.

Try calling customer services and state you know that some owners have had the update and see what they have to say?
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
UK and (most of) Europe should be the same model.
[One (M7) General] spikeydoo2006:
You haven't had it because if you look Dr Asqueroso's friend has an unlocked version (1.29.401.12) But you have the network locked Three UK version (1.28.771.6).

When you receive the update, it will be 1.29.771.12 (12 used as a comparison).

Good question, frankly I also don't know. Mine is "UL" version based on OTA I received updating from 1.28 to 1.29. The OTA file was

M7_UL_HTC_Europe. Since your son's firmware was already .13 from the box and there was no OTA, can't say how to find it.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

What is happening on UK sim free phones?? There seems to be multiple versions of firmware available- .12, .13, .16?? Seems more likely that some of the Europe versions are also available for sale in UK, unlike other places where each region has its dedicated versions.

Don't think there is any thread outlining all these versions and associated countries/regions

[One (M7) General] akhil8377:
Also noticed on another thread (OTA) that "U" model of Europe has latest OTA firmware titled as 1.29.401.17_R. Read in another thread that "U" is for only GSM and "UL" is for GSM/LTE. Are there areas in Europe which does not have LTE? or is this differentiation even true?
