-I tried flash stock Firmware ( got 35_RU_Partition_not_support firmware error)
Anyone can tell me how to got OTA with out RUU??
Hi there
I think we're in the same situation.
I also unlocked my phone, installed TWRP and Magisk on stock system and did a NANDroid Backup before doing so.
In order to get the OTA I restored stock recovery (which i had to extract from OTA, since i forgot to back it up) and started OTA.
--> Red Triangle!
Even after restoring stock NANDroid the OTA wouldn't install.
My mistake i think was that i didn't kept the stock system read only when i did the backup in twrp and swiped to allow modifications.
According to some threads here, even mounting the system r/w would break OTA functionality.
So since i also have no RUU for my device, i don't have the chance either to go back to stock. Maybe you did that mistake too.
The only way i can think of now, is to go temporary S-OFF, change CID and MID (to 401 international for example), flash Firmware and run the RUU for it.
But i'm not sure it'll still work after flashing the firmware.
Can anyone maybe confirm this way would work?
Thanks
Edit: Hi, in case you're still having this problem, here's a solution:
Reverting to stock

I installed Clockwork recovery so I could get rid of the Vodafone ROM and put on the generic 1.35.401.1 firmware.
This went fine, and I then put clockwork back on so I could root to use Titanium to restore my apps.
I would now like to restore the stock recovery, to prevent any charging issues and enable future OTA updates to work.
There is a recovery_signed.img in the rom.zip within the 1.35.401.1 RUU. Is this the correct file and is there a quick and easy (and 100% safe) way of getting the stock recovery back without affecting the rest of the phone?
Hi am having a problem after going back to telstra stock after being on rohans JB build 3. It was really bad at connecting on LTE so I wanted to go back to stock where I have less problems. So now the 4.0.4 OTA update is available which fixes the one of the main reasons I found a ROM, that stupid settings bar.
However when I reboot to install the OTA it just boots into TWRP (v 2.2.2). I cant manually apply update from within recovery. It just gives an error. If I reboot from recovery nothing is applied.
Android v 4.0.3, software version 1.89.841.9
Do I have to get rid off TWRP or find a RUU and and apply that image? Was there some boot locking thing I need to do through abd to get the OTA to work?

Pretty sure you have to relock your bootloader and run an RUU to get your phone to true stock. Then OTA. Although, if the RUU was based off 4.0.4 you wouldn't have to OTA. You can always re-ulock your phone after an RUU as long as you have your unlock token and/or super CID.
Did you just flash a stock ROM?
Also, pretty sure there are 4.0.4 stock ROMs out there that you could flash so you wouldn't have to relock your phone.

Thanks I restored a backup I made before flashing the ROM. Might try and find another ROM to see how 4G goes.
Fixing a connectivity issue on one custom ROM is not a good reason to go stock. I think the OTA needs stock recovery, so that is why you are getting stuck at recovery. Even if it works, you lose root. Its a step backwards, so why would you want to do that?
Just flash a ROM based on 4.0.4 from Development. You can pick a custom ROM, or a stock rooted one (safe to flash from TWRP), if you want stock.
If you are rooted, don't install a OTA or run RUU (unless you are trying to fix a soft brick). Good rule for any Android device.
I providing as much information as i can (and think you need) for your help.
My HTC M8 when I bought it new from the store it came with lollipop on the 02uk network, I then got the official update to marshmallow. I was quite happy with this but needed an app that required root.
So I unlocked my bootloader, downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m8 and installed SuperSU via the recovery. But something went wrong, when I rebooted there was no OS installed, I must have accidentally deleted it. But I hadn’t made a nandroid backup at this point.
Since then I have been trying to get back to stock. I research and looked around the only way I can flash marshmallow is if I go further and pay for S-Off.
So my plan was to Install back to stock Lollipop then get the upgrade again to marshmallow.
Even this proved to be difficult. And is where I could use some advice.
My CID is HTC 02__001 So I found the Nandroid collection on XDA and downloaded
1.54.206.5 - TWRP
1.12.206.17 – TWRP
The latest updates for these seem to be very old (not Lollipop) but I gave it a shot installed the roms, the recovery and locked the bootloader. Then went to upgrade all the way to where I was. Unfortunately, after so many updates the WIFI stopped working and I was unable to upgrade further., ad the only way of repairing was reflashing the rom.
In the settings, I noticed my build number was 4.16.401.13 and remember seeing this version in the collection
So used the stock recovery from that and flashed the rom, then locked the bootloader.
The 4.16 is the international version CID__001 while this got me straight to lollipop I don't have the original bootup screen with the 02 animation. And when I go into the updates there is only 3 security updates not marshmallow.
I did attempt to download and flash OTA Marshmallow when i done this from
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
but kept running into errors with the bootloader signiture check, I then realised its because I needed S-Off
So at the moment I am on 4.16 international, I have unlocked the bootloader and running TWRP recovery until I can figure this out.
Would I be right in thinking I cannot use 1.54 recovery with 4.16 rom as a restore?
Or are there files that I have overlooked for 02uk lollipop stock rom and recovery?
Also if needed my baseband version 1.29
This thread is no longer needed, After extensive searching and looking at loads of different sites and options I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Which was able to help me fully restore.
Hi,
I used this tutorial to restore stock version from Cyanogenmod mod.
In this tutorial it's said "You will be unrooted after this procedure" - it is still unrooted, but room is new!?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...l-06-03-14-one-click-factory-restore-t2513937
Is there anything else I should downgrade / upgrade so I get original version. Right now I still see that my device is rooted. Also I still have some problems when I boot my device like before.?
Try manually flashing each partition, including userdata.img file, and factory wrote before booting the ROM for the first time.
After a proper flash, root should be gone.
Just do flash-all using a factory image from Google.
So I decided to update my phone ot the latest version, but since I have TWRP installed when I downloading the update it reboots to TWRP, thinks for a second and then goes to the main menu. Never does the install. Anyway I can go about installing it or do I need to install the stock recovery? If so does anyone have a link to the stock recovery.
You need to be stock (not rooted) to take updates. You'll have to flash the phone back to the original firmware, take the updates and then decide if you're going to reroot. BTW just unroot in will not trick the system. You need to have an untouched system partition. If you unroot you'll still have a marked system. Only ruu can undo it.
If you are s-off or unlocked bootloader then don't change them. It's not necessary. If you have manually locked or relocked your bootloader I recommend unlocking it before you flash the firmware to avoid any problems later on.
Find the ruu in zip format and go from there.
