I have been holding off from updating to 30O since it came out because of battery issues, however now that 33R is rolling out im trying to install 30O in preparation but am unable to do so. Whenever I hit the "Download Update" button through settings nothing happens, I have tried restarts and cache wipes with no luck. Everything on the phone is still stock.
Any suggestions?
Do you have the update via recovery button checked in dev settings? Also you don't need to download 30O, just go straight to 33R.

I don't think that's possible; the OTAs are incremental.

Well yes; if you uncheck the update via recovery you can't ota, and you have to have stock recovery installed as well.

This is also not true. The "Update CM recovery" option in developer options just keeps updates from overwriting your custom recovery back to the stock recovery. You can update via OTA with a custom recovery; I did it with TWRP.

Well yea. Sorry if my wording was a bit convoluted; but I just see it being a waste of time to overwrite the custom recovery. But also from my experience OTA just goes with stock recovery, so thank you for your input.

An OTA can be flashed by stock recovery or TWRP on this device.

I ended up just flashing manually using files from android police and stock recovery, however the download update button still didnt work even when i was trying to go to 33R. If I get some time ill get around to factory resetting and trying again because as far as i can tell there is no reason for it not to work.
You could always sideload a OTA if you have the zipfile.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
in recovery choose "ADB Sideload"
Code:
adb sideload update.zip

I got the OTA Notification, I click Update, it reboots my phone, and then the phone goes into ClockWorkMod Recovery. Is that supposed to happen? If I select "apply Update" from CWM it tells me it can't find an update.zip file on the sdcard. So I select reboot, and it reboots the phone and it reboots back to old Android, with the OTA Notification still there.

Actually, unrooting was not necessary. Just nvflashing back to stock recovery allowed the OTA update to proceed successfully. Not sure I like the way GB looks on this phone though.
I just got the 4.4.4 OTA update and appear to have lost root, i'm sure i can re root again when i get home.
However i'm wondering what people recommend in keeping root when taking an OTA update.
Thanks for any advice.

SuperSU has a "survival" mode you can check off. It basically tries to keep root after an update. Luckily its easy enough to re-root the One+.

I'm guessing you used a toolkit to unlock and root, right? If you haven't done it already, download SuperSU from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
Then you can flash it using the install menu in TWRP recovery.

Of course it works. Also guys TWRP will try and reroot your phone a well after a flash if it detects you lost root. Not for nothing but some of you need to do more reading before you street messing with your phones and leave them toolkits alone.

@playya alright mate got my one plus one now. unlocked bootloader installed twrp and flashed super su. disabled update cm recovery on update. then did update from 22r - 25r then did 25r - 30O and obviously 30O - 33r I didn't realise that the update cm recovery would not stick after each update. so ive now tried to reflash twrp but command line says writing recovery ok and finished but checked on phone and its not there? any ideas do I need to unlock bootloader again which I doubt. but not sure if flashing update would also relock?? cheers

If you have root and a custom recovery you shouldn't be taking an OTA in the first place.
So I lost twrp and root, Whats the easiest way to get root back or twrp as I cant get into twrp recovery to try and flash supersu.

You'll probably need to flash a custom recovery via fastboot/toolkit, you can root at the same time or flash a supersu zip once you have your custom recovery.

That's right, the TWRP app is really unreliable anyway so don't bother with it. Why don't you just flash TWRP the normal way, with fastboot?

HI all, I have CM12 installed on my rooted phone and this morning when I switched it on, I got a message saying:
"WARNING: Update Cyanogen recovery is disabled. This may cause issues with updating your device. Please enable Update Cyanogen recovery in developer options"
Now, that option is off because I have my custom recovery TWRP installed on the phone, I'd like to keep that and I don't want to reinstall it after the update, so I believe I should ignore the message, but what I wanted to check with you guys is whether ignoring it will in fact cause any issues as this is the first time ever I've seen this message (this update by the way I think is the first one after installing CM12).
Any idea?
thanks
Disregard the message.
Thanks Heisenberg,
I did that but when the phone restarts trying to install the update, it goes straight into recovery mode (TWRP) and from there I don't think I can install the update, as none of the options seem to allow me to do so, see screenshot http://s23.postimg.org/6d6s7wyq3/IMG_20150625_135453.jpg
All right, I downloaded the zip from here http://cyanogen-ota-bacon.somee.com/ and tried to flash it from TWRP, but I get an error, screenshot here http://s28.postimg.org/zb06wtcpp/OTA_error.jpg, any idea why?
Same here, got an error in TWRP logs that prevented the update to install.
I'd like to avoid reflashing stock recovery only to install the update...
Heres the log: http://s29.postimg.org/njqqqlfc7/Screenshot_2015_06_25_08_49_42.png
Seems something related to outdated "build fingerprint" my device has currently 12.0-YNG1TAS17L
I guess the alternative would be to do it thru Cyanogen Recovery, but let's see what more knowledgeable members have to say as, like you, I don't want to have to reinstall TWRP and SU just for the sake of the update
Looks like you cant use the official update with TWRP. Either flash it via cyanogen recovery then flash back TWRP, or use a differnt zip for update not the official
Thanks for clarifying that davebugyi, then so be it, I'll do it thru cyanogen recovery and then reflash TWRP and probably SU as well
thanks

Hey there fellow U11 Users,
I just received the update concerning 60fps HD-Video etc. I use TWRP so the update can't be installed by itself. So I have two questions:
A
Where do I find the update file. I looked around a lot but couldn't locate it.
B
Once found, can I just flash it with TWRP?
Thanks in advance!

list your steps your using to install the ota via twrp....personally, I let the system initiate the install (booted into OS) as if I was 100% stock, once twrp loads, it automatically installs except for the firmware.zip
more details here...
OK, I am a Noob to the HTC world. I am used to easy flashing/rooting/etc. on Nexus devices.
TWRP doesn't do anything after accepting the ota. When I try to install the OTA via TWRP I receive Error 7. I worked my way through a lot of guides here on XDA concerning manual OTA installing. One thing I tried was flashing back to stock recovery which I found in the firmware.zip of the OTA in bootloader mode. That failed also ("FAILED (remote: not allowed on PRODUCTION device).
Edit: The device has obviously an unlocked bootloader, s-on, rooted via magisk and is a DGLU device, software number 1.16.400.5
Are you on an Untouched System Image? Completely stock ROM? While it is great we can flash the OTA in TWRP, the system stills needs to be stock, and of course will still have to fastboot firmware.

Yes, everything is stock.
I managed to flash the stock recovery now. I didn't remember to use the download mode /sorry. Then Then I checked for the ota again, downloaded it and tried to apply but I landed in the stock recovery with the red exclamation mark and then nothing happened.

Only thing I would say is start fresh. Backup all the data for your apps first. Flash the RUU, Take the OTA and reinstall all your apps.
