ota update - [Q] repack - HTC Desire S

Does someone know how to repack the official OTA-update for flashing it via recovery? (remove included security and boot.img...)
I uploaded it to a private server.
PM for link, if you know how to repack..

What is in the OTA, who knows?
Didn't find any changelog yet.
I'm S-OFF and rooted, so OTA couldn't be installed by natural way...

I got a few updates yesterday but nothing propper, just a few apks. And I'm also rooted and S-Off.

Should I?
I performed the following steps today (with the help of this forum and its members)
1) I'm now S-OFF (used XTC Clip)
2) installed the unsecured boot image
3) Root (used superoneclick)
4) flashed clockworkmod (used ROM Manager)
After the reboot having taking my first Nandoid backup this evening....I've got the message:
Application Updates Available
- FOTA Client (Update)
- FOTA Scheduling Application (Update)
[Q] should I apply the update? will the update work? and does anyone know what benefits it will offer?
If I'm planning to flash one of the custom roms at the weekend is it even worth it?

Will not work because you are "4) flashed clockworkmod"
The update needs the stock recovery.
For that: download update, do NOT install, grab the recovery.img from the update in /sdcard/download and put it into the "2) installed the unsecured boot image"-file (PG88IMG) instead of the boot.img than reboot to hboot -> stock recovery will be flashed
reboot, install update - and than you can "4) flashed clockworkmod" again

Cant install Ota Update

Hey friends.
I've got a little Problem.
At first I've some wifi issues of my one s.
Today I got the message, that there is an Ota update. I hoped, that it fixes the wifi issues (disconnect in standby and doesn't reconnect after wake up).
I've the official shipped Rom with opened hboot and root. I rooted it for apps like addblocker.
So after I downloaded my update the phone turned of to install it. Started in recovery where it aborted.
I think it is why I installed Cwm for root.
Is there a way how to install the update? Maybe to reinstall the original recovery?
I don't really want to install a custom rom.
Thanks a lot

If the bootloader is unlocked, relock it through the HTC One S Toolkit. Also, I might just be able to find a .img file of the stock recovery for you. I will look now.
EDIT: I have attached the stock recovery file. Rename it to "recovery.img" (without the quotes) and flash it in fastboot (replace the obviously fake names with the actual directories):
Code:
cd /sdk/platform-tools (or whatever you keep fastboot and adb in)
adb reboot bootloader (or boot into it manually and skip this)
fastboot devices (just to verify)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (it'll say a lot of crap and then tell you when it's copied)
fastboot reboot (or you can go back to the bootloader and get into recovery from there and skip this step)
Also, I have included a picture of a lion. Why? Because I can.
EDIT2: The recovery was to big to upload so I put it on mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?unfu1p66545xu7z

Yes you need to install stock recovery for OTA update to work.
Use OTA Rootkeeper to save your root file or you will loose root after the update.
Thank you auf lot I'll try it today.
Edit: Didn't had to relock my bootloader. Only did your Fastboot-Instructions and run the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. Now everything works fine.

[Q] Unable to delete Kobo (system app)

hi!
I have a HTC One S (from Virgin Canada), rooted. I used Titanium Backup to delete some bloatware but I am unable to delete Kobo. I tried to remove it with TB, everything seems ok but after I restart my device, it's here again (like frozen: can't see it but it does appear in TB listing).
1. I'm wondering : is there other locations other than /system/app where apps can have files? I mean, if I delete all the files related to this app (/system/app + ??) it should be gone for real, right?
2nd question: if I remove system apps, is it normal that I still see them on my computer in Google Play/My Android Apps?
3rd: is it safe to remove Google apps (Books, Music, Google+, etc.)?
Thanks!
update: actually 99% of the apps I deleted with Titanium Backup are back! any idea?
Is it on JB?

yes, sorry I forgot to mention Android version: JB 4.1.1
I saw another thread where the guy had the same problem as me (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780624), but it was on GB, and the folders mentioned don't exist in my phone.
just tried something else: I moved some apps (.apk + .odex files) from /system/app to /data/app
Then I rebooted, and both files for each app are back in /system/app
Am I missing something?
Also my wallpaper comes back to default at every restart, but I don't think the 2 issues are related (just giving max information)

You need a kernel with r/w support enabled
Sent from my HTC VLE_U
usaff22 said:
Hi, are you using a custom ROM or the stock ROM? The apps reappearing issue is on the stock ROM and happens on the 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM because HTC in their infinite wisdom (lmao who did I copy) introduced a write-protect feature in the Jelly Bean kernel. So installing stuff will work, but only in recovery when the kernel isn't active. I assume this is how you installed Superuser - through recovery. To overcome this issue you can flash a custom ROM like ViperOneS or if you don't want a custom ROM you can flash a zip in recovery which I will provide the link to shortly

Same problem.
thanks to both of you, you found my problem... my godness, playing with Android is so tricky!
So, to solve my problem (bloatware removal) either I use the link usaff22 provided (not sure how to deal with "Be sure to have /system mounted before applying the patch (in TWRP it's already the case)" since I have CWM Recovery...), or I can find HTC One S RUU (I found Europe version, is there a North America version?) and flash my device to get a bloatware-free JB stock ROM (with SuperCID first since my CID is BM__001).:silly:
Or I can flash a custom ROM. But I think I'd rather stay with the official ROM.
... but if I flash RUU then I'll have the same problem later (no r/w kernel). OK, so here is what I'm planning to do, tell me if I'm wrong:
1. get Super-CID to change from "BM__001" to "HTC__001"
2. lock bootloader
3. flash HTC One S JB RUU 3.16.4.01.8 (can you tell me if Europe version is OK or if I should find North American version?) => this will unroot my phone and delete CWM Recovery
4. unlock bootloader
5. install TWRP Recovery
6. root my phone
7. apply Easy_InitD patch to get r/w kernel
8. make a precious nandroid backup of my phone!
will it work? am I missing something? can you please tell me about the "Europe" version of JB RUU?
once again, thank you.

Europe version should work fine. But there's a quicker way:
1. Change CID from BM___001 to HTC__001.
2. Flash HTC One S JB RUU 3.16.401.8 WWE Europe/Unbranded
3. Flash TWRP Recovery in fastboot.
4. Flash Superuser zip in recovery to gain root.
5. Flash Easy_InitD patch to get r/w kernel.
6. Make Nandroid backup.
You don't need to lock/relock bootloader. You should be able to do it anyway. (Unless someone can correct me otherwise)

actually I skipped the SuperCID/RUU flashing steps but I guess that's ok:
1. flash TWRP from GooManager app
2. flash Easy_InitD patch
3. removed bloatware with Titanium Backup
4. restarted: all gone... but Kobo!
5. deleted Kobo files (2) in /system/app with Super Manager
6. restarted: gone!
7. re-restarted: no bloatware back! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
8. checked in applications installed: some bloatware appeared (not all, not Kobo)
9. just uninstalled them
10. restarted: gone, everywhere
Now I can change my signature :victory:
Animated wallpaper still disappears after restart, but that's not very important.
one more question if there's still someone here: bloatware still appears in Google Play website in "My Android Apps".
Is there a way to remove them? Not a big deal, I'm just wondering if I can get rid of them completely.

Its easy, it requires ADB drivers instaled in PC and ADB commands to execute.
So, in TWRP you make a full WIPE, format data also.
Then you reboot recovery and over advanced you activate adb sideload.
Then connect phone to PC and send the zip file with command:
adb sideload name_of_the_rom.zip
Then just wait ADB send file to phone and then Recovery start flash of ROM .

With TWRP it works, i tested, other Recovery i dont know if they have sideload option.
Relative to OTA yes, with stock recovery you can have OTA. But i dont have stock recovery from this one since dump dont contain firmware.zip
Dont know if firmware.zip from 2.24.709.1 it will do the trick, but sincerelly i dont wait from OTA updates, its a loss of time

Thats correct, i did not know Mike already put the firmware zip, thanks for tell me in
Another thing, you must unlock bootloader to flash TWRP.
If needed you can have S-OFF and flash latest RUU x.xx.401.x and you are good to GO.
Cheers
Would this work with T-Mobile/AT&T versions?
Also sideloading doesn't touch the "sdcard" content right. We would just need to do a factory reset.

Correct, it work all models EXCEPT SPRINT.
Sideload dont touch anything over sdcard but if you are in 4.1.2 base a wipe data / factory reset and a format sdcard its advised....

how to update to 4.4.x after this... New to android

First of all, I have been reading this forum for about two weeks and just registered in order to get some help as I do not want to break my one week old nexus 5.
From my reading, the updates can be done in quite different ways and because of that I want to be sure what I should do.
I started by:
- root the mobile with cf-auto root. It did everything for me, got the superuser icon automatically
- installed clockwork mod and I have the custom recovery. By the way, I made a backup with it but where was it written? I want to copy it to my pc.
- other than that, I have installed some root only apps like rom manager, greenify, root Explorer, etc. I supported those developers with purchase. Those guys deserve it.
Anyway, i am looking for the safe way to update to 4.4.1. I read some members saying they lost root after the update, others lost something else (I am referring to the thread on nexus 5 general forum).
Can you help me? What path shall I go? Thanks a lot.
To update you'll basically have to go back to stock in a way. By that I mean you can either flash the System.img file from the Factory Image and then update using the update files for 4.4.1 by flashing it in recovery (via Sideload) and then just root again. OR you can install an updated "Stock" 4.4.1 image from the development section and root that.

lets assume i want to just apply the 4.4.1 update (maybe this is the easiest way for now). how do i do it?
also, after the update succeds, i need to root again correct? what happens to all the apps i have right now with root permissions? do they stop working until i root again and give them root privileges again? can i use the cf auto root again?
also, i am on ART, i thought of letting you know since that can cause some problems updating(??)

If you want to apply the new update it all depends on your current setup. I gave you vague options because I don't know what you've done to your phone. If you've only rooted and not changed any of the files in system then it's easy to just flash the update with the recovery. You can download the update and then start recovery (look it up). Once in recovery start ADB sideload and connect to your PC (this assumes you already have working ADB, if not.... look it up ). To sideload you just need to adb sideload filename.zip. You can probably use WugFresh's Toolkit to also sideload but I generally don't use those so dunno what they do these days. Much easier to learn and understand what it does then do it yourself.
If you have a custom recovery you might just be able to flash the update with the recovery like you normally flash any zip in recovery.

You can just copy it, no need to use ADB but this is why it's good to know how to use ADB.

thanks for the reply. i am reading on the adb sideload right now... i already have the update zip inside the platform tools. however, in the command prompt, it says my device is unauthorized (i have both the usb debugging and unknown sources ticked). the nexus 5 is connected as MTP.
any clues?
about what i have done to my nexus, i applied the cf autoroot, installed clockwork mod... nothing much besides some play store apps..
as for this paragraph:
"If you have a custom recovery you might just be able to flash the update with the recovery like you normally flash any zip in recovery. "
i have never done it, hence all these questions!

You do it from Recovery. So just copy the file to the phone in some folder. You can't update the phone with it running. So reboot to CWM and then choose Install from ZIP then find the file on your storage and then choose update. That may or may not work as I said depending.

If you want to apply the new update it all depends on your current setup. I gave you vague options because I don't know what you've done to your phone. If you've only rooted and not changed any of the files in system then it's easy to just flash the update with the recovery. You can download the update and then start recovery (look it up). Once in recovery start ADB sideload and connect to your PC (this assumes you already have working ADB, if not.... look it up ). To sideload you just need to adb sideload filename.zip. You can probably use WugFresh's Toolkit to also sideload but I generally don't use those so dunno what they do these days. Much easier to learn and understand what it does then do it yourself.
If you have a custom recovery you might just be able to flash the update with the recovery like you normally flash any zip in recovery.
You can just copy it, no need to use ADB but this is why it's good to know how to use ADB.

thanks for the reply. i am reading on the adb sideload right now... i already have the update zip inside the platform tools. however, in the command prompt, it says my device is unauthorized (i have both the usb debugging and unknown sources ticked). the nexus 5 is connected as MTP.
any clues?
about what i have done to my nexus, i applied the cf autoroot, installed clockwork mod... nothing much besides some play store apps..
as for this paragraph:
"If you have a custom recovery you might just be able to flash the update with the recovery like you normally flash any zip in recovery. "
i have never done it, hence all these questions!

yes, i have been reading those topics and many others.. i managed to solve the adb device unauthorized anyway. just flashed the 4.4.1 zip file under clockwork mod recover.. android is upgrading at the moment. lets see if everything is work as it should.
No need to sideload adb bla bla..
copy the OTA zip into the phone, and just flash it in CWM (install file from internal storage).. 1 minute and done.
You'll get error status 7 at checking if you changed something in system (apart from rooting), else you shouldn't have any problem.

yes, everything is fine. 4.4.1 loaded fine without any errors. i have root checker and when i tested, it says i do not have proper root access. i also lost my clockwork mod recovery.
i am now checking into it to see what needs to be done to gain root access again and get the custom recovery as it was before the update.

You need to flash the recovery again via fastboot (youll lose it every time, unless you flash the flashable recovery ZIP just after flashing the OTA and before rebooting the phone).You'll have this problem every OTA unless you flash the zipped version everytime.
I'd recommend the easy way to root, get the SuperSU binaries and flash them through the custom recovery and you're done..

EDIT: i am at the clockworkmod recovery website... is the file i want an IMG?

You'd only be looking for the supersu binaries, since you already have the recovery IMG from te previous time, right? (the one that you need for fastboot).
EDIT: Yes, IMG files are for fastboot, ZIP files for recovery.

That's the stock recovery, you can't do nothing from there.
You need to flash the recovery via fastboot (didn't you do that the first time to get your custom recovery..?)

from where can i get the flashable clokwork mod recovery zip file?
i am going to apply the 4.4.2 update now and will be doing it this way:
from the recovery apply the 4.4.2 zip. after this apply the supersu zip. i want to install the custom recovery zip too so when the phone restarts everything will be configured. is this possible?

well, it seems i haven't lost my custom recovery. was it because i installed the supersu before rebooting?

[Q] Signature verification failed OTA Lollipop

I just got the OTA Update to Lollipop
and after i download the files, i press the install and reboot,then my nexus goes to recovery mode (CWM 6)
and then there appears :
. . . (theres still some description)
E:signature verification failed
then i just reboot and get my nexus still on 4.4
im actually forget which ROM im using right now
but in settings , it is KTU84P
FYI : I just unrooted this devices and this happened too when i was trying to upgrade with Nexus Update Checker.
Please help me guys
you need to be STOCK for OTA to work. Custom recovery, custom rom, any modifications to system etc will all prevent OTA from working.

how to make it sure/check it , that im using stock ROM or not
and how to uninstall CWM ?
Flash stock recovery and did you make any modifications to stock ROM or flash a custom ROM? If so you need to undo all mods and replace anything you removed that is part of system, or just install stock.

I'm having the same problem, I had already flashed /system and /boot back to stock, just didn't flash recovery (because it wasn't needed before on KK), now I've flashed everything back to stock, but now it says "system up to date" how do i solve this now? I did grab the ota zip, so maybe i can force it to flash with that zip on the stock recovery?

Yeah, download ota file and sideload it, otherwise you're waiting for the ota to become available to you again via download on device.

Use cmd prompt to use adb. You'll need android SDK if you don't have it. Navigate in cmd where your adb is (also have your update.zip in that directory). Run adb and then adb reboot boot loader, wait for boot loader, on device go to recovery. Once recovery is up, press vol up while holding power to access menu, go to apply update from adb then back in cmd run adb sideload update.zip

check out the toolkit from wugfresh, that might be the easiest way for you if you don't know what you're doing... maybe take some notes so that you do remember what you're doing for future.
