Sounds like you tampered with some stuff within /system and it aborts due to the md5 checksum not adding up.
Do you have a backup? (which you should had done before you started messing around with your phone).
If you have a backup then just go in to your custom recovery (which ever one it is that you use) and restore your device with that backup.
This will fix your problem to installing your update.

Unfortunately I do not have a backup. I made a nandroid backup at one point but it turned out to be corrupt when I tried to restore it. If only they released RUU's for the Cricket variant of the One SV. I would be able to flash the correct boot.img, recovery.img, etc. if someone could provide me with the Rom though.

check the post above yours...
I already have the above Rom on my phone. It will not let me update with OTA. It would be a lot easier if I flashed the new 4.2.2 update's firmware and installed the corresponding stock rom.

You have no choice but to use the Rom that @russellvone provided to you. The reason your ota won't update is because inside of it is a file called updater-script. In that script it tells the device to run some system checks to your files in /system like your system apps for example and then cross reference these checks with the patch found inside of the new OTA. If these checks DO NOT MATCH then the ota will abort itself. This means you messed with some stuff in /system and your option now to keep this as simple as possible for you would be to use the resource russellvone has provided you. This will basically RESTORE your device and then you will be able to APPLY your OTA successfully.

Maybe you can try my patch: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tqxfjwwja3uaqsn/install-patch.zip
It uses a libssl.so from a LG Optimus L5 II (4.1.2) and it works on my TrekStor Surftab Ventos 10.1
If your device does't boot after you've installed it:
The patch creates a backup of your libssl.so at /system/libssl.backup.so, so just replace /system/lib/libssl.so with that backup file

I'm s off, have twrp installed and on stock ROM. Would like to install this update, or get a 4.2.2 or 4.3 stable fully functional ROM. Do you think flashing stock recovery and then ota would work even if I'm s off. Should still be able to boot an ruu from fastboot even if I boot loop. Suggestions on custom roms?
Edit: Used flashalot's recovery switcher to flash stock recovery, rebooted, then flashed the ota update. After update I lost root, but still have s off.
Plan on fastboot flashing another recovery, then flashing su binary again from the new recovery.
Hope this helps.

This might help...
If you have the OTA.zip file... but custom recovery and such like TMUS application removed..
This will wipe your phone. Making a backup is not optional !!!
http://sadevil.org/blog/2012/12/23/manually-flashing-an-ota-update/
This looks somewhat straight forward.. If you want to get the OTA downloaded:
got to settings .. and manage to get the software update.. It will download eventually into your Download folder ..
Do not Apply the OTA at this point.. select install later!!!
pull the file on your PC/Mac/Linux box and modify as described in the URL above..
reboot your phone and the OTA should not bother you ... if you have pulled (like in remove) or at least renamed the OTA file..
Before you push Firmware.. and such make sure you have made a backup with CWM !!! or whatever method you are using!!!
also make sure you have your custom recovery image somewhere available and maybe a su.zip cwm file as you may loose root as well.. not sure..
If you have rooted your HTC one S your self - this should not be hard to DIY..
Currently I am at work and cannot try it out myself .. but definitly will do it once back at home later..
Godspeed to all of you brave hackers..

Same situation here. Stock ROM and Rooted and S-off. Constant nag to apply the OTA update but not working. Looking for a way to do it easy. How should I proceed? Don't want to wipe the phone and create all my settings again if possible. Can I reverse S-Off and apply OTA update somehow?
can any one provide me a link to the ota update
The original update OTA can be obtained here: WWE_4.07.1700.4-3.62.1700.1_KTU84L.H4_release_377648
This cannot be flashed unless your device meets all requirements. Wait for a ROM otherwise.

Mine fails as well - on basicDreams.apk. It doesn't look like it can be applied to every device, e.g. when integrating apps into the ROM using Titanium Backup it will most likely fail. Will be taken care of by the ROM devs though.

All I had to do was RUU to 4.4.0 because that's the one I had handy, let the phone OTA to 4.4.2, and when it booted all I had to do was hit the "check for update" button 2-3 times and then it prompted me to download the OTA and voila, 4.4.3

You would have to put the OTA at the right location and name it exactly what the recovery expects and I don't know how to do that.
Thing is with stock recovery, there are no options, it either updates or resets to factory default.

I haven't really noticed a performance increase or decrease tbh after flashing the new firmware. It says "5.11.401.10" because I edited the android-info.txt file. But the date is 5/16/2014, to confirm that it is the newer v1.54 hboot. How would I go about making a deodex system dump into a flashable rom.zip? I have the system dump if someone can help me with the procedure.

A custom recovery like CWM or TWRP should also cause the update to fail.
Okay thanks for the quick responses
Figured I'd add on to these answers.
Modifying anything will pretty much mess up the OTA's. As far as I know if everything is not 100% stock (besides S-OFF & bootloader unlock) then the update will fail.
Root your phone = failed update
Custom recovery = failed update
Edit a file in /system (add a line or remove a line or change 0 to 1 in something) = failed update
Etc
Can't you just freeze the Updater 6. whatever with titanium?

This is mostly true, but sometimes the overall update will fail but bits and pieces of it will actually pass. This is exactly what you don't want.
For example, a new bootloader would pass, but the system and the recovery push would fail. This could potentially lock your bootloader. It's still better to stop the update without giving it a chance to install, despite having root and a custom recovery.

It will cause it not to install, but won't stop the nag to install the OTA.
Can't you stop it by going into About/software update and unchecking auto download?
Thanks I wasn't sure. This is my first HTC (former Motorola fan). Even once the developers get ahold of the update and create a flashable zip for us do we still need to put the stock recovery back or flash the update.zip in custom recovery? I'm S-Off, BL unlocked and rooted with TWRP.

Once I saw this I was curious about that option. But every time I go into About/Software Update, settings crashes. Maybe due to Sense 6 Toolbox in my settings menu?

It's not going to update the rom, but it'll update your baseband and other firmware, you can package it in a flashable zip and flash it in a custom recovery or with the fastboot flash command.

I was rooted with weaksauce and it pestered me with the update relentlessly. Every time I turned on the phone I had to click a bunch of junk to get rid of it. Unfortunately I did not realize this was a full OS update, it just mentioned updating to the fancy charging thing and clicked "yes" to be rid of the annoyance. As soon as I clicked it my phone rebooted and I knew I was in trouble. Lost root and can't get it back without paying for sunshine. I'm poor!

i get the same thing, guess I will wait and see what they say.....
@banderz777 and @biga1, If you are S-Off you do not need to relock the bootloader. If you are S-On then you must relock the bootloader. You will need to flash your stock recovery to proceed with the OTA, then after it finishes you may flash back your TWRP recovery.
I don't have stock recovery for jb 422 , where can I find it....

Inside the original 4.2.2 OTA zip will be another zip called, firmware. Unzip firmware.zip and you will find your stock recovery.

@ biga1 are you S-OFF or S-ON ?, or just try locking your bootloader and see, you do still have the unlock bin from HTC.
@Modding.MyMind I am S-OFF. I do NOT have my unlock bin from HTC anymore :crying:
The OTA is applying a lot of patches to your system directory. It is always recommended that you have all apps whether bloatware or not which originally came on the device to insure the OTA doesn't abort. If what the OTA is updating isn't found on your phone then it will terminate. You can get another unlock_code.bin by simply redoing the steps again over at htcdev.

ahhhh. that makes sense. my phone is far from stock now and been debloated. I have my original stock backup that I can reinstall but is this ota update going to make a big difference? Thanks for all the help

I haven't accepted the update yet. Been reviewing the patches before I accept it. Also weary about the hboot image inside the firmware.zip that comes with the OTA. Not sure what affects it may have so I am snooping around a bit.
Ok. I feel better. You have been my barometer for this device. Thanks for all your support for the boost users.

Has anyone flashed the latest ota with success? And if so are there any notable improvements? Thanks

I haven't yet simply because my core.odex file is modified which will cause it to abort. But, I have mainly seen complaints about the OTA and nothing otherwise.
I've updated....nothing special.....no complaints about it here......but nothing new either
nice time for androidfilehost to be unreachable... i did post the firmware up. RUU and OTApkg.zip are ready for upload.
FYI guys/gals.. there's a new hboot on this one too.
Edit..uploading now
I am unlocked and rooted but the download from verizon automatically started. It did nothing after it was done downloading. I dont know what to expect of this?? I am on viper rom 2.5.

You can just use the 4.4.3 ruu and do the OTA, then your firmware is done all in 1 shot
can someone upload a 4.4.4 system dump? or point me to one if someone has already? thanks!
I have looked around and found all kinds of different answers so can someone here help me out a bit?
I got the phone when it first came out, have S-OFF, root, TWRP custom recovery but have version 4.4.2 still installed with everything being left pretty much stock. I would prefer to keep things pretty much stock so what would I need to do to update to 4.4.4? Do I need to get 4.4.3 first? Do I need to flash stock recovery first before doing anything? Anything with firmware or radios?

well, this is my idea for you
1. Flash the stock 4.4.2 recovery over the TWRP, then just do the OTA's

Reasonable enough, sorry if this is another dumb question but I havent been paying much attention to these boards since I rooted, I see that recent phones require Sunshine to root, is that because of the firewater method being patched via a software update (4.4.3?) or some other manufacturer change that I shouldnt be concerned with if the old root method already works for me?

I already updated... I was just saying for safe keeping just in case I get in some unforseen trouble.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159 and just flash the 4.4.3 with not boot img. YOu dont need to flash the recovery to accept ota's. YOu can just flash this and you will get the updated radios and h boot.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159
Downloaded OTA and updated, they added file manager and flashlight back ~!

nope, if your already SOFF, you will stay SOFF. might break your root, but all you need to do is reinstall supersu when you put twrp back on
