Yes I thought that might be the case but was not having any luck with search results to find out what to do. Thank the internet gods for you! Going to your thread now XD!
[HTC One SV] madpausa:
I had similar issue with an update, the reason is that the stock recovery has some commands that neither cwm nor twrp have.

Here's what I did to fix it and update succesfully:

- extracted recovery.img from the update itself

- put it in the same directory as fastboot program

- attached the device with debug usb mode on on the pc

- command 'adb reboot bootloader'

- when the device rebooted in fastboot: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'

- after that I was able to update without problems :)

note that you need to flash back twrp or cwm if you want root.

Of course you need unlocked bootloader, android-sdk's platform tools and adb drivers to do this, but you should already have them if you flashed cwm :)

good luck!
[HTC One SV] snorglamp:
DUDE! THATS TOTALLY WHAT I WANNA HEAR, however, ive been having enormous trouble getting fastbood/ADB to recognise the phone is attached, I have tried the universal clockwork mod ADB driver which didnt work, and I havent had any luck folloing the instructions on Splatterhand's other threads in getting it recognised. The command fastboot devices just leaves a flashing cursor FOREVER! Other commands leave the message "waiting for device". According to splatterhand ADB/Fastboot wont recognise the phone as attached because of clockworkmod and therefore I cant push any commands or files...how did you solve this?
[HTC One SV] snorglamp:
OMG

'adb reboot bootloader'

THATS THE MISSING PIECE OF THE PUZZLE!!!! THAT TOTALLY WORKED AND GOT ME TO FASTBOOT ON THE PHONE!

Because the phone wasnt booting into booloader (CWM instead) I just assumed the same would happen if I used that command from adb but no, it totally worked....i wonder if the CWM universal driver i installed had anything to do with that...

anyway, CHAMPION YOU!

Good tip on extracting the recovery from the OTA itself, will do, and I will try to get a copy to Old.Splatterhand for other vodafone Australia users so they have the OTA and recovery at hand.

Will report back if I have full success to confirm your steps!
[HTC One SV] madpausa:
Just a thought, if you're upgrading from ics to jb, I think you should use ics recovery (I guess you can grab it from another ruu)... anyway, glad to be of any help :)
[HTC One SV] snorglamp:
So I took your advice and pulled a recovery image from the ICS Cricket (using the link in splatterhand's thread to stock resources) image. Downloaded the OTA and went to apply it, got past boot/recovery screen checks and all was looking good until i got to a screen with what looked to be an SD card icon and a loading bar under a larger phone icon with a green recycle type circle over it. That loading bar stopped about half way with a red triangle and exclamation mark (i.e. during the update process). Fortunately not bricked. It may be that I need the original Vodafone AU recovery image, or that there was something about the ICS OTA image that I used that made it fail. Not sure. Will try to find another stock recovery image.
[HTC One SV] snorglamp:
Applied recovery from EU RUU stock and while that went fine and can boot into htboot no problem, when applying the OTA update it skips the fastboot and gets stuck on HTC One screen like normal loading except stuck.

I think I will try old.splatterhand's recommendation now that I am able to push things to the phone through adb/fastboot, so thanks for your commandline tip but now I must try flashing the JB recovery etc as outlined in his post.

The problem may be that the OTA is expecting a vodafone australia stock recovery as i seem to be getting different outcomes depending on which stock recovery image I apply...

I have sent Old.Splatterhand the Vodafone Australia JB OTA file for the main thread collection in case anyone wants it or the images therein, but at the moment it is of little use to me hehe.
[HTC One SV] snorglamp:
SUCCESS! How to update to Jelly Bean from modded/rooted HTC One SV ICS

Ok so I should probably post this somewhere else so old.splatterhand can just post the summary. But here is what happened and a combination of your advice helped me so super thanks to both of you (madpausa and old.splatterhand)!

So I was in a situation where having rooted my stock HTC One SV and flashed clockworkmod I couldnt apply the Jellybean update that was constantly in my notifications bar (referred to as OTA update). When I tried to reboot into recovery clockworkmod would take over instantly and I was unable to run commands from fastboot command lines.

I was however able to download the update which could be found in (internal memory) "Downloads" folder "OTA_K2_UL_JB...zip".

In order to apply the advice of madpausa I had to first revert to stock recovery image before applying the recovery image from the OTA. So I got a stock recovery image from the cricket version (see old.splatterhand's thread) and flashed that first.

- put it in the same directory as fastboot program

- attached the device with debug usb mode on on the pc (select HTC Sync) and fire up the CMD interface for command line time (cd Android)

- command 'adb reboot bootloader' which actually did boot the phone into Hboot and not clockworkmod, so that solved the ADB/fastboot issue for me

- when the device rebooted in fastboot: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'

Once I had reverted to stock recovery I was then able to apply the rest of madpausa and old.splatterhand's advice

What finally worked for me was copying that OTA JB update zip to pc my and unzipping it. Inside there was firmware.zip, which also needed to be unzipped and inside is the jelly bean version recovery.img.

- put it in the same directory as fastboot program (and remove the other recovery.img or overwrite)

- attached the device with debug usb mode on on the pc

- command 'adb reboot bootloader'

- when the device rebooted in fastboot: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'

Then when I booted up my phone again it asked me if wanted to download and install the update, which I did. The phone rebooted, update applied, all good!

Hboot did not have to be re-locked, so dont go as far as locking your phone again.

Thanks to everyone's help for this one, I am now a happy use of Jellybean on my previously modded HTC One SV...now to get superuser back and stock that data leakage with LBE again!!!
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Good to see you got your problem sorted out!:highfive:

And the download of OTA was succesful, thanks!:good:
[HTC One SV] chisao101:
This is the exact problem I had. I started trying to root my HTC One SV (Boost Mobile) a couple of months ago. I got past the HTC unlock bootloader, but I got confused by the rest of the rooting guide, so eventually I gave up on finishing the rooting process. Ever since then, it has said ***TAMPERED*** in hboot when I go in there. Well, just like you, I started getting the JB update notification in the OTA. I tried to install it like 15 times, but it always just rebooted into the existing image I had, which was the stock image.

So today I decided to try and finish the root and then find a JB ROM to install. old.splatterhand helped me out with getting it rooted, and it was a success. But when I asked him about JB ROMs, he said I had to have S-off. When we spoke a little more about it, he pointed me here, telling me that he helped you get the root back after you got through the OTA update.

So now, I guess I need to try and follow your instructions on getting the OTA update, and then go back to the thread where he helped you get the root back.

I'm a complete n00b to rooting android devices, but I'm pretty confident that I can do this with the proper guidance. I have rooted 2 Samsung SCH-i500s and today I finally got this HTC One SV rooted. I'm starting to see how it all works.

If you don't mind, let me know of any details of issues you faced that may not be in the guides you followed. That would be a great help.

Congrats on getting yours all done.

Thanks.

Do you type "adb reboot bootloader" in the command line? I wanna be clear on this before I make any moves.
[HTC One SV] colinhowlin:
Just to add my experience to this thread. I had rooted my phone and was then left wondering what to do when the OTA update came out.

Firstly I'll say thanks old.splatterhand and snorglamp for their excellent work!:)

However, there appears to be no need to flash two recovery.img's.

Here's the process I followed:

1. Download the OTA update which can then be found on your internal SD Downloads folder.

2. Copy the .zip file to your pc and extract it.

3. Then find the firmware.zip and extract recovery.img to the same folder you have fastboot and adb in.

4. Open a command prompt and browse to this folder. Type

adb devices

to ensure your device is present.

5. Then type adb reboot bootloader to boot into fastboot mode.

6. From there flash the recovery.img by typing

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

7. After flashing, reboot your phone through the fastboot menu.

8. Once rebooted, apply the update. Wait about 5 minutes and enjoy!

Now I just have to re-root!:cool:

Thanks guys!
[HTC One SV] Matlevo12:
Cool, good idea to make a post just about that since this advice was lost, spreaded out and repeated in several threads with less precise titles.

Just a thought, maybe you should say "revert to stock recovery before update".

Thanks again !

Method for Boost Mobile

Has anyone gotten this method working for boost mobile? I have tried unsuccessfully.
[HTC One SV] Matlevo12:
Did you only change your recovery or did you do something else ? (rom, kernel, etc)
[HTC One SV] wchrisyu:
Has anyone tried to manually flash the OTA?

Boost one sv.

Moonshined

TWRP 2.6.1

etc etc etc.

Extracted a stock JB recovery from original OTA, flashed it.

Stock recovery came back, but red triangles the 8 times I tried to apply update.

I just burned a few hours, but the .6 OTA just finished up.

I downgraded to ICS (thanks russelvone), and OTA'd my way thru the 2 JB updates.

Only reason I went thru this BS was to get it ready to sell.

Updates you can't apply tend to piss people off.

No S-OFF

Hi All, cannot believe it has taken me so long to find this thread....

I have spent about 12 hours trying to get back into my SV.

Thanks for the info in this thread, i am glad it appears to be possible.

I have an SV, i can get into Fastboot fine.

It says **Tampered** and ***Unlocked*** so the boot loader is unlocked.

It is a K2_UL

HBoot-2.00.0000

BUT

It still has S-ON.

It is totally dead other than that, i cannot get into an OS and in messing around i have deleted the OTA update.

Can i do anything to it S-ON.

Thanks

Mac
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
You can flash a custom recovery (twrp recomended) and flash a rom from recovery (don't forget to flash the boot.img afterwards, that is inside the rom.zip, also with fastboot).

After that you can get S-off by moonshine, downgrade your hboot, run the RUU for your device and update to 422.
[HTC One SV] crashtestmac:
Please clarify.

Thanks for the replay [MENTION=3142060]old.splatterhand[/MENTION]

I can get TWRP on it and i have tried that.

so i have been copying the rom to the sd card then running the recovery from there.

Do i need an ICS ROM...?

I am trying to get a ROM from androidruu that is ICS but the server is overloaded and has been all day.

but that is a .exe and i am on a MAC.

So if i put on TWRP again and then flash the ROM from recovery do i then need to flash the boot.ini from fast boot..?
[HTC One SV] crashtestmac:
Getting somewhere i think.

I have finally managed to get OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.2-1.17.401.5_R_release_308698hqk34kifwjk0g071 downloaded, then i have managed to extract the recovery out of it.

I have applied this through fastboot but it keeps going back to TWRP.

Any ideas...?

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

I have now managed to get the green arrow circle and it stayed on that for a while, then it went to TWRP.

I tried to apply the update through TWRP but it gave the get prop error, so i deleted the top 2 lines.

Now rather than the get prop error i get

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip'

ARGH.....

Flash this recovery with fastboot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2280241

Then flash this rom from recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2369327

Then extract the boot.img that is inside my Saturn III.zip and flash it with fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Now you should have a booting system.

Go to rumrunner.us and try to get S-Off with it or use moonshine.io for it. Should work both.

Then follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2386426

I have got to the next bit with

It come up with an invalid CID.

Is this the process i need to follow..?

Got it...

edited in HEX editor then uploaded, now working and CID is 11111111

:)
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
A forgot to mention, sorry.

You are S-off now, right?

You can get Supercid really simple by using the following fastboot command:

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

That should do the trick for you and the downgrade should work.
[HTC One SV] crashtestmac:
almost there....

Right thanks for all the help so far.

I have flashed then updated then updated.

but i am still only on 4.1.2

HTC sense 4+

Software Number

2.14.401.6

If i check for updates it tells me that there are no more to apply.

What have i missed....?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
The update is rolling out randomly by IMEI numbers. So maybe your IMEI isn't until now "under the ones" who get the update, because what i see, is fine. This is the only explanation i have.

You can either wait, for the update, to come to you (when your IMEI is in the pool) or update manually.

Please take a look at this thread.

You'll find a stock TWRP recovery backup there. But to use this fully functional, you need to flash the firmware.zip (to do that, S-Off & SuperCid is important). Its described there, how to flash.

After flashing the firmware files, use recovery from here and restore the stock 422 backup and enjoy.
[HTC One SV] crashtestmac:
hmmmmm

OK thanks for that,

The reason this all started was because i was getting the update available messages, this is why i am confused as to why i am not getting it now.

I broke my SV trying to make it take the OTA update it had received.....

Crash
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Ok, thats odd. Can not explain, why you don't get it. Because you have SuperCID, it should come.

There is a USSD-Code that should push your device above in the list, but i can't say if this really works:

Go to dialer and write tis in: *#*#2432546#*#*

Then maybe reboot and search again.
[HTC One SV] crashtestmac:
That came up with a check in successes in the info bar. Have rebooted but still nothing....

will leave it and see what happens....

thanks

EDIT

I got bored of waiting.

I have now flashed back

Recovery_TWRP_2.6.3.2_K2_UL.img

I can get into recovery and i have now taken a backup of the system.

Once i realised that the file in the first post is actually a backup i put in the internal SD card in the same folder as my back up, flashed and all is working.

Thanks for all your help again.

Crash
[HTC One SV] kyentei:
I have flashed back but am not receiving any updates either. I used to receive them back when I was running the rom as main OS on my phone. I suppose I'll just wait a little while and hope it appears eventually.

update: Hm, maybe it's because I flashed UL but appear to be using a U phone. Flashing U won't change the fact that I can still use HSDPA, right?

update2: Flashed U, which immediately gives me the update. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Artanis:
So I am thinking of making a Farnsworth case for my LTE. Based on Warehouse 13.

I bought this case from Amazon. And i love it. Wallet comes with me everywhere. But I'm a big burly guy and holding this phone in its case feels out of place.

So i wanted to attempt to make a farnsworth tin casing. But im obviously worried that a tin case will interrupt some of my radios. Any Ideas or suggestions. Or warnings please let me know.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Pretty sure it has been tested (look in this q&a aluminum case thread). Think that radios were tested with plastic and aluminum case and both decreased signal by 2db. 2db isn't a big deal really. Really doubt tin will be much different as far as decreasing your signal with any significance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
2db is a big deal when it comes to low powered devices such as cellphones. Granted 2db on the input signal is a slight loss, but that loss will also affect your signal transmission as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Even silicone cases reduce the decibels by a point or two. What is the trade off? Practically unnoticeable signal loss or scratched up phone you cant get as much $ for in trade-in? Both kinda suck, but you know...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
That's interesting since I have virtually no loss with my Otterbox Defender. But with a metallic case you will have signal loss. Considering that our phones only put out a few hundred milliwatts from the transmitter a 2db loss is quite a lot with a majority of your transmitted signal being reflected back into the phone itself. More instances of dropped calls, and slower data throughput is usually the end result due to the attenuation of both the receive, and transmit signals. Maybe not noticeable when you are very close to the tower but once you get close to the fringes of the towers receiver you will see the effects of signal loss than without a metallic case, or with a non-metallic case. But if looks is your thing by all means knock yourself out.
