[Q] Trying to do an OTA - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
So I want to do an OTA from 4.4.2 > 4.4.3 on my One (M8).
I have Un-rooted, flashed a stok recovery and already have stock firmware.
Yet when I try and install it I get to about 1/4 then it shows a red triangle with an exclamation point.
I'm not sure what I've done wrong!
Please help
Many thanks
Andre

Have you disabled or removed any other system apps or made any other changes or mods to the system?
Oh, also, you probably need to relock the bootloader. Not sure about OTAs since I never ever do OTAs as they are the least desirable way to update, but via RUUs or firmware updates for HTCs you have to relock, so doubtful it's different here.

Thanks for the reply.
So I just re-locked the boatloader and ran the OTA.
I got the same result, a red triangle with an exclamation point.
I don't think I have modded anything, I did install viper rom, but I then backed up to a pervious stock version.
Any suggestions?

That's the thing, I want to go back to stock :/
I tried downloading a stock nandroid back up from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
But the MEGA.nz link starts to download then gives me an error. Just my luck.
Not sure what to do?

That's crazy talk... lol
But without knowing which version of the phone you have, if it came from a carrier, what build version and firmware version are currently installed, etc, then can't really provide much more detailed instructions. If you aren't sure, re-read that first post again and use the fastboot commands to find out the important stuff.

I know about my build version ect. and I have found the correct nandroid backup and recovery.
Is there any other way to get this firmware update?

The 3 ways are OTA, RUU, or firmware upgrade zip if S-Off. Pretty sure there won't be an RUU for 4.4.3 yet as it just dropped recently. You could try to RUU back to official 4.4.2 and try the OTA then if the nandroid restore doesn't help, but those are the only ways.

Yea. Just make sure you put it in the right folder and then re-do the stock recovery and re-lock and then you should be good.

I just want to take screenshots

I am happy the way my TB is right now except for not being able to take screenshots. What is the the easiest way to keep things how they are but be able to take screenshots?
Are you rooted?
Negative. I guess that is where my question lays. Can I root and still keep my current rom?
Absolutely.

Thank you kind sir.
If you are on the latest software though you will have to flash the 605.5 software to gain root access. Then you might soft brick when vzw pushes an update to you. Your best bet is to find a Stock Rooted ROM. google is your friend.
Won't flashing the 605.5 RUU wipe everything?

How to update your rooted Mobilicity amaze to ICS

Thanks to Dark Nightmare and Football for the file and the instructions.
You can get the ICS update by reverting back to the stock mobilicity gingerbread ROM
Step 1: Download this
http://www.filefactory.com/file/6e4...1v2DC_30.67.550L.09_release_227348_signed.exe
Step 2: Wipe the phone
Step 3: go into fastboot
Step 4: lock your bootloader (use hasoon's tool to lock your bootloader)
Step 5: run the exe file you downloaded in step 1
Step 6: Check for update... download and install
Step 7: Repeat step 6
I make no promises this will work for you... It worked for me. I take no responsibility for anything you do to your phone... and In will not be able to help you since I probably know less that you.

Where can I find stock ruu for Mobilicity?
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA
Ignore my last post, I'll delete it in a minute, we have no stock ruu for mobility and unless someone can get the CID for it, we won't know which stock that we do have might work, if any of them will, depending on the CID.
Do any of you know how to check your CID? Know how to use fastboot etc?

You can get the ota without changing the cid, but if you're on a custom recovery, then well, you're probably screwed, you'll need to s-off to get any chance of upgrading to ICS since we have no stock ruu for mobilicity to restore your devices with.
Can we sill upgrade to ICS rom without reverting our phones to stock?|

Nope and we don't have a stock image, so no clue how you guys will revert to stock until we get one, unless you s-off and use another providers stock rom.

If the 3.15 RUU only updates you hboot only you can find the fix here
Don't run the JB RUU it is known to cause problems. Relock your phone and take the OTA. It is the safest way.

[Q] Link to most recent radio for HTC EVO LTE

You don't flash them in recovery. There should be instructions in that thread, which would also be the best place to post your question about it.

That's not the newest radios, and no, they are not flashed through recovery. They are flashed through the bootloader. If you aren't planning on updating to Android 4.3, however, those are the newest and will work fine. For more info, click the top link in my sig and read the section regarding firmware updates.

You are right, I forgot you do flash them in the boot loader. My question now is that I'm currently on 4.1.1 but may in the future update to 4.3. As a result, can you point me specifically to the file that I need to flash in the boot loader. Is the file I need to flash in the boot loader called 4.13.651.4 Sense 5 Android 4.3 - Odex or is it something else. Sorry for asking such stupid questions, but I'm getting confused.
If you want to update to 4.3 you should run the RUU. That will make sure everything gets updated. The RUU will also change how the internal storage is set up. In that same link I mentioned above, there is a link to all the applicable RUU's for this device.

Thanks for the information. I decided to simply use the older radio link that I linked you that you said is the most up to date version if I'm not switching over to 4.3. I'm planning on getting a new phone soon, so I didn't want to take the time to switch to 4.3 right now. I already flashed the radios and everything looks to be working fine. Thanks for your help.

Sorry for no reply. Working on unbricking someone's phone. You need to install Att latest firmware. R you on pure stock now? If so don't worry bout if firmware has boot.img ....firmware might have stock recovery.img which will replace twrp if that Dev don't remove recovery like I do from my firmware. So just flash firmware with fastboot an download a new twrp that is for your device then fastboot that an then pick a Att ROM you want an you should be able to flash it. Try that let me know. Any questions let me know. MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP before you wipe phone in twrp an try an flash ROM.

and by att you mean at&t? I think skydragon is one of them
To flash newer builds,newer firmware is required. This is stated in the O.P of most threads for ROM's.
