For the few days ive been trying to get the OTA to install correctly.
I have seen other people talking about this, and i have tried all i could find about this problem.I
m not sure if im posting this in the correct place, sorry if nok!
I did find out its because of the used custom recovery that it wont install.
So using the allinone tool i put the stock recovery on, i believe with succes.
And i had also installed the ota rootkeeper app (not sure why)
But the OTA keeps on reporting errors when installing
assert failed apply patch check /system/app/phonesky.odex (long numbers)
E: error in internal sdcard/download/ota-ville u htc europe 1784012-1.53401.2 release-numberrapskwje.zip
status 7
aborted
I tried (in stock recoverymode) installing a zipfile i found somewhere which was the 1.78..update (I think) but that also gave errors, i cant find a ruu for 1.78, so cant try that.
Is there a complete list of things you have to do to get this update? and if so can someone help, thanks.

Retry to install Rootkeeper or u can do it later
Use this tool: [TOOL] HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 (find at Android Development). Boot to fastboot mode then reflash the "STOCK RECOVERY"
After that go to Setting-About-Software Update and install it with the choice "install now".u get it.
if u didn't use RootKepper,just re-root again with the same tool.
Have Fun.
After that go to Setting-About-Software Update and install it with the choice "install now".u get it.
Thanks, but I dont undersstand your answer.
Are you saying to : do the OTA update just after flashing the stock recovery?
Thats exactly what i did.
That was exactly what i did too.
so u can try re-flash the shipp Rom at "[ROM]Ville Shipped ROM Collection" (Thread of Football, at Development).then do it again.
Coz i think the Problem is at ur Stock Recovery.mb there is smth not right there...
i did exactly what i wrote and it worked for me.
Good luck!
Ok, i will try :
using the europe 1.53 ruu(from post from "Football")
then use the all_in_one tool to put the stock-recovery back again
then try the OTA again
i will let you know later on,..thank you
I ran the europe 1.53 ruu(from post from "Football")
After a while it said error 155 image update error, get correct image
I still have no idea how to get the 1.78 update,
Can anyone help please?
=====> Never mind, luckily today football released a 1.78 basis rom which does work for me

As reported here and on SU, the maintenance update from Sprint/HTC is being rolled out over the air. Can people with Root and/or a custom ROM tell us what happens if you update? I doubt you'll loose root but I'm just curious and I'm sure other are too.
This is only for rooted users. No need to post if the update isn't available to you yet. IF it works for you and you're rooted/rom'ed, post.
Root: Yes or No
ROM: Tell us which
Reuslts: Still rooted, working fine?
As for me, the update isn't available yet but I want to know what I'm getting in to before I allow it.
EDIT: So far it looks like the update won't even install for rooted users - Recovery image gets in the way...
EDIT2: freshlyill has provided a direct download of the update pkg file in post #7
EDIT3: This update definitely cannot be made on rooted Heros but doesn't hurt the phone if you try. No risk.
EDIT4: UPDATE: SUCCESS! thecodemonk has confirmed that root is still available on page 4. Process: Use stock RUU to bring it back to stock, download and apply update, re-root like normal!
EDIT5: Satinkzo has also confirmed that the above works. Now, somebody ROM this sucker up
Im rooted on Fresh ROM. Dl the update now, at about 20%...
I cannot get it to install on rooted phone. Looks like the recovery image or something gets in the way.
freshlyill (from fresh rom) got the update and also said it seemed to error out because of the recovery image. But he rebooted again and it appeared to work. He still has root but has no signs that the update applied. Still getting wake lock on stock messaging app.
No firmware update available for my phone yet.
Decided to take the plunge since I nandroided recently...whee! (going about 1%/second ^_^)
same here. Rooted with no custom rom. Won't take the update.
here's the update..
http://rapidshare.com/files/308943608/update.pkg

The reason it won't work is that the rooted image has testkeys and the stock image has release keys. You don't want to apply the maintenance update on a rooted phone in any manner. The purpose of the maintenance release, from what I've heard, is to fill the hole that makes root possible.
I downloaded and opened the update.pkg and it is just a zipped file. I wonder if it would be possible to push it with adb?

It's actually not as dangerous as it sounds since I can always RUU back to the vulnerable version and nandroid restore.

If that is the case then you don't want this MR if you want to stay rooted then. I was kind of hoping that wasn't the case with this MR.

My mistake, i misread 'flipz' post.
Good evening/morning all
Just grabbed this new OTA from my One S so i thought i would make an appearance... And before anyone asks, yes - I am working on a ROM
OTA_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2-1.53.401.2
Please note: This OTA takes you from 1.53.401.2 to 1.78.401.2
Change log from the updater service (rather vague):
System enhancment
Enjoy
P.S > Had no time to analyse the actual content but the OTA contains full firmware updates including HBoot & Radio.
Edit: Just noticed paul has done a repack of the base already.. may still come in handy for you devs out there
I knew you would come just like I asked for and others.
Thanks Lee.
If you can work on a T-Mobile ROM/EU ROM.

woohoo !! about time you made an appearance !! I knew you was hanging around here somewhere
missed you since i left the sensation forums
I know this is probably a really stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway...
Can you actually install an OTA package on the phone somehow or is it just useful to take files out of it?
And the other question, my phone doesn't find any OTA updates anymore since I've 'tampered' with it so is there a way to make it find and install the OTA updates again?
Thanks
As long as you are using the correct stock ruu you can apply it via cwm recovery(unlock needed )... to restore full functionality its best to flash the stock RUU

The other thing is that when I try installing the stock RUU it's telling me it's for the wrong device or something like that, although it's definitelly the correct RUU.
Also, my phone is HTCDev unlocked but is still S-ON so if I install the OTA package usign CWM is it going to update the radio and the hboot (I thought it can't do that if you're S-ON)?
Thanks
you dont install it via CWM, you install it via the stock recovery.. of which you will first need to flash..
Did'nt work for me, wrong CID...

Ok, maybe I'm not getting this right but I'm talking about two separate things:
Issue 1. My understanding is that I can install the OTA zip package using ClockworkMod, is that correct?
Issue 2. The RUU package won't install on my phone:
i) I have restored via ClockworkMod the nandroid image of the stock ROM (image that I've taken straight after I unlocked the boot loader and flashed a custom recovery, but before I rooted the phone). Then, I flashed the stock recovery image using fastboot. So now my phone should be back to stock.
ii) I then tried to install RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.53.401.2_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L_release_251412_signed.exe
When I do this, the RUU goes through right up to the step where it says 'Updating signatures' and then it stops saying 'unknown error' and it leaves my phone on that screen with black background and white HTC logo. Then, I have to hard boot and the phone starts up fine but in the state it was before the RUU - not even the user data is missing. To me this means that for some reason it doesn't even try to flash the RUU onto the phone but it stops when checking the signatures - I just can't understand why this is happening...
Can you help?
Thanks
1. No you cannot flash anything official from HTC using CWM, you MUST use stock recovery. You can find stock recovery in the OTA zip file, It will be named recovery.img OR recovery_signed.img
2. Unknown error is hard to diagnose, Normally we get error codes which we can identify as to what the problem is.. Are you running the RUU in fastboot ?

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I initiate the installation of the OTA zip package using the stock recovery? As I said, I can't actually get it 'over the air' but I've just downloaded the zip package from this thread...
ok put the package on your sd card.
boot into fastboot, flash the stock recovery using the command ''fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'' (or recovery_signed.img) (also no quotes)
when thats done, select recovery from fastboot using volume button..
When you get a red ! press volume UP and power button, That will take you into stock recovery
Then look for the option, install from sd card or something like that
select your OTA package and BOOM !!! job done
Reflash CWM and away you go
Damn... I had no idea that you can actually get into the menu of the stock recovery... It all makes sense now...
me neither till about 3 days ago
I might not seem like a noob,,,,,but deep down i am

I've tried that again and it actually breaks down when it gets to 'Checking Header...' and it exits with 'ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR". Maybe this is a bit more specific...
this is what i found for error 155
ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.
Alternatively (in some cases) right click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator".
Or use the rom.zip -> PGXXIMG.zip flashing method.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I dont know if it will fail when flashing the rom.zip in CWM - usually you have to rename it to the model number and flash in fastboot, however you cant do this with S-ON
Phone has just told me that an update; 'System enhancement 59.02 MB' is available, I've downloaded it, installed it and the phone has rebooted.
However... it reboots into Clockworkmod recovery so I have to select 'Reboot now'.
Aswell as producing an 'abnormal reset' error, the update is still available; it doesnt seem to have installed.
Phone has been rooted with superoneclick following HTC bootloader unlocking. As nandroid backup was not available from recovery, I installed clockworkmod recovery. Is this causing the issue? Can I stop the phone booting into recovery every time?
Help?
Please?!
you need stock recovery to get OTA updates.. flash the stock recovery and you will be fine

Allow me to say it better: You need a stock recovery to implement the OTA updates - you can download w/o it but must have it to install it.

I used the all-in-one toolkit to unlock bootloader and all that good stuff. But i never flashed a recovery. Phone is rooted and everything. Is it absolutely necessary to flash the recoveries in that toolkit? What are the purposes for it? (noob status >_>) I know what the stock one is but was always wondering about the rest and if you really needed them.

For the OTA update you will nedd to have stock recovery on your phone, bootloader relocked and a stock rom without any apps uninstalled.
Relock the bootloader?!
Why?!
HTC allow me to unlock it, so surely they should support an unlocked bootloader?

Thats most important for a sucessfull update. Had this problem with TMO Germany and after relocking the bootloader everything went fine. I used the RUU instead the OTA.
My update always stopped upon a checksum failure as long as the bootloader was unlocked. It was gone after relocking.
Someone please try skype video chat
Hello,
Can someone please see if the video chat in Skype is fixed.
Preferably someone who has already seen how bad it is before the update.

It checks the system on your device to see if it can take this OTA, but the hash of your build.prop file does not match what it expects.
Maybe this OTA is not for your device or you're not on truly stock 1.53.

Somebody should please help me, if I'm posting wrongly or in the wrong section, I do not know, I am new here and I need help. I have searched and read countless posts on here but I still can't get a solution.
I modified a build.prop file in the root explorer of my phone (in an attempt to increase the "max. number of connections" under my Hotspot settings which was limited to 1 and I restarted, phone got stuck on the HTC white screen. After 24hours, I decided to install the stock rom back on it.
I downloaded this officially from the HTC website
RUU_HIA_AERO_UL_N70_SENSE80GP_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_2.1 8.617.10
when I run the file, it will start then disappear into thin air (I use windows 8.1 on my computer).
so I decided to go in the way of custom roms, phone is already S-OFF and Bootloader UNLOCKED. I installed adb & fastboot, I flashed TWRP and was able to boot into twrp recovery.
I downloaded the first custom rom (can't remember from where I downloaded that) and from the instructions, I was told to rename it to 2PQ9IMG.zip which I did and in attempt to flash it, got this error code,
E:Could not find 'METAINF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.

File name starting with "OTA" are ota updates (patches) not full rom and can't be used to restore a phone. Renaming files "2PQ9IMG.zip" is used only when flashing RUU.zip or Firmware.zip in bootloader mode using the sdcard, not for flashing custom rom in TWRP. TWRP can't be used to flash RUU.zip or Firmware.zip. If your phone is a whl variant (Sprint) use the Sprint RUU or follow the guide to convert to Us Unlocked. Good information about RUU in the ruu collection thread at post #2. If you need more help tell us your CID, MID and version-main and what your goal is (re-flash the sprint RUU or convert to US Unlocked).

How are you rooted? If you can, boot into TWRP, pull your data off it, and then I'd say your easiest option is to start fresh using an RUU. Download and run the full RUU.exe for your Sprint phone following the instructions from the RUU thread.
