[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
No. RUU is a package including the rom (software) and the frimware (hboot, stock recovery, radio, kernel, touch drivers etc.)

RUU.zip are flashed using fastboot

RUU.exe are flashed automatically when laucnhing the .exe (the application handle the required fastboot commands automatically)

When speaking about adb sideload or adb push, the sidelaoded or pushed file is only a rom (software) unlike a ruu (software+firmware). The rom can either be custom or stock (e.g ARHD custom rom or a stock guru reset rom)

ADB is used for the computer to communicate with the phone and in this case, to copy the rom from your computer to your phone. ADB doesn't flash (install) the rom on your phone, its only transfer the rom to your phone memory. TWRP is a recovery system, think of an alternate OS you can boot to perform basic tasks like installing rom (flashing rom), backups, restore, file manager ans few more.

BTW with newer versions of TWRP, you don't really need ADB to transfer (push or sideload) the rom to your phone. TWRP now support MTP protocol which mean you'll see your phone as a removable storage on your computer (like a usb thumb drive) when booted in twrp so can simply drag and drop the rom from your desktop to the phone memory.

Better to post the output of "fastboot getvar all" before answering this. Depending on the output, it might be easier to restore your phone using a RUU. Remove your imei and serialno before posting the output here.

What is the file name of this ruu? You should not be able to open the ruu.zip because they are encrypted. You could try to relock the bootloader and flash the 7.18.206.2 ruu.zip posted here http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944. instruction how to flash in the same thread.

or

You can restore this stock backup using twrp then you can reflash the stock recovery and download the latest ota update.

That's great. I'll try going down this road first, can you briefly outline how to handle this process with TWRP please?

Many thanks. :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
boot in twrp, select "backup" then make a backup of "boot" only (this is only to generate a backup path on your phone: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/DATE_OF_BACKUP). Once the backup is done, navigate to that folder and delete all the files in that folder, but do not delete the folder and then take all the files in the backup you have downloaded and copy them to this folder (/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/DATE_OF_BACKUP).

Go back in twrp main menu, select "restore" and select the only backup available. Wait for the restore to complete and reboot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobly:
Thanks, I'm on the case now. To be sure, the file that you specified starting /sdcard/ is different from the file where the phone just made the back up files.

The only file path I can access on the PC is Computer\One\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\FA36PW918055.

Is this correct?

I assume that references to an sdcard in file names is just nominal or a partition of the main drive.

Just like to be 100% clear.

Ah, I discovered that there is a file manager in TWRP! I now see that Those files are in the folder that you specified correctly.

However, when I go to the backup folder there is no file available. Are the files from the nandroid zip to be extracted first or is the zip file supposed to be copied whole?

I tried both methods and there is still no file to be seen in the restore window!

Have I done something wrong?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yes on your pc you'll see Computer\One\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\FA36PW918055\date_of_your_backup\Backup_files_here

On your phone its /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/FA36PW918055/date_of_your_backup/Backup_files_here

Make a backup of boot only, then using your computer navigate to that folder (Computer\One\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\FA36PW918055\date_of_backup) and delete all files in this folder and replaced them with all files from the backup you have downloaded. Then in twrp select "restore" and restore all partitions of this backup.

What would be the way to get the ota update for lollipop now?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Sorry for the late reply, glad to know that you have managed to restore the backup. To be able to install ota update you'll need to flash the stock recovery over twrp.

Stock recovery for your version can be downloaded from this link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646670

save it in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot on your computer and flash it like you did for twrp:

reboot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode then open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder:

fastboot flash recovery M7_UL_Stock_Recovery_6.14.206.2.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Once rebooted in the os and the stock recovery flashed, you can install the ota updates: settings --> about --> Software info --> check for updates.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobly:
Thanks very much for the support, great community on here, love it.

Really thought that was the end of my One but it's incredible what a bit of perseverance does for you.

I'll give that update a go, maybe now I have the confidence to experiment a bit more with the phone.

Thanks again!

I'm unable to use WhatsApp on 3G, but it works fine on Wi-Fi.

So far, I've tried:

1) Restore to factory default, flashing a new ROM, resetting APN, re-installing WhatsApp, rebooting, re-insert SIM Card

2) Using my SIM Card on my other phone (Note 2) and it works fine, but not on my S3.

3) Calling my service provider -- they said the fault's not with them.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbh7491:
I'm having some serious issues trying to fix my girlfriends tablet. It's a Motorola Xoom running Android 4.1.2. The issue it's having is that even though the tablet is connected to the internet none of the apps (play store, YouTube, etc) will connect. They all say 'no internet connection'. The only way I know the tablet is actually connected to Wi-Fi is that the internet browser still works. This might be unrelated to the issue but every single website I go to it gives me the warning 'Security warning: There are problems with the security certificate for this site'. It's very annoying. Sometimes I will have to hit cancel 10 times before the warning goes away.

I'm hoping that this is something I can fix without doing a complete reset because there are pictures and stuff I don't want to lose. Since I can't connect to google play I can't back them up to am app like dropbox either.

I hope someone here can help me fix this, thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbh7491:
Okay well if anyone is wondering I found a fix for this. Somehow the date reverted back to 01/02/1999 and I had to go to the date and time settings and sync it with the network.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boscoh:
I am having a really weird issue I'm hoping someone can help me out with. I was on 4.1.2 Clean ROM which was working great. I wanted to move to 4.3 Clean ROM (8.1 Core Edition). I did the upgrade and then flashed my modem to ML1 both via TWRP.

The ROM setup fine and ran great. However the first time I did a reboot, the phone gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo and never goes anywhere. I left it sit there for 30 minutes and it was hard locked. Only a battery pull would reset it. Through numerous reboots/pulls, the same thing would happen. I tried wiping Dalvik and Cache in TWRP and fixing permissions, to no avail. Reinstalling Clean ROM 8.1 via TWRP without formatting data did not fix the issue either. The only way to get my phone back up and running was a complete wipe and reinstalling from scratch. Then as soon as I reboot the first time, the issue comes back. I've tested this on a clean install - letting the phone go through the initial setup process but not installing or updating any apps - and it still happens.

So I moved on to try AllianceROM build 22, also a 4.3 build and wiped to do a clean install. No matter what options I choose in the setup, the same problem happens. Interestingly in AllianceROM I always get a acore process has failed error on the first boot.

Then I went to download the Knox-free rooted version of stock 4.3 available from Scott's website. I have the same issue with this. Also a wipe with clean install.

It's obvious there is something my phone doesn't like about moving from 4.1.2 to 4.3. In total, I have probably installed three different ROM's about 20 times now after the past couple days.

I've searched about this problem extensively and the only thing I found is a thread for the AT&T S3 that talks about this exact issue, and using Odin to go to stock 4.3 and loading a custom ROM to fix the issue. But I am under the impression that a 100% stock 4.3 will lock my bootloader.

What I plan to do next is use Odin to flash a stock 4.1.2, then go through the process of moving to a custom 4.3 ROM again.

If anyone knows of a tar'd version of 4.3 that won't lock my bootloader, I would be grateful!

If anyone knows of a different way to fix my problem, I would be grateful for that too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boscoh:
Well I think I can declare victory. My phone is running Clean Rom 8.1 CE and has survived a reboot after every app install for a total of 15 so far.

As it turns out, I think being on TWRP 2.5 and trying to upgrade to Android 4.3 was the issue. Before I went the route of flashing a stock 4.1.2 release, I thought to check if my version of TWRP was the latest, and it was not. I flashed TWRP 2.7, and did a complete wipe and clean install of Clean Rom 8.1 CE, and it's running like a champ.

I know, I know...the install guide on most every ROM says to use the latest version of your recovery - until now I thought that was a "recommendation" or "best practice" and not a hard requirement. Turns out, at least for me, that it is very much a hard requirement. In reading the release notes for TWRP 2.6 and 2.7, they both appear to implement things specifically for Android 4.3 or 4.4.

Hopefully this info helps someone who may be having the same issue.
