Is your phone modded? Does it have a customer recovery? In order for a device to install a completely stock factory ota update. Your device needs to beat a factory state

As the above guy says , you can't install update with a custom recovery . Just change your recovery mode to factory version and try to install it .
It was worked for me for a months before

Clearly the picture shows that it is the stock recovery, so I don't understand the last couple of comments about that...
OP: What update were you on? Did you download the system update from the phone? The first poster was right about changes made because changing some things in the system will create this problem on some phones. I would see if there is an RUU from HTC to update via the PC or via SD card (they don't sell that model here so not entirely sure which way they use for that model).

Have you tried updating through Kies? Sometimes Kies helps when OTA updates don't work.

Sounds like a corrupted or incomplete download then. Without knowing which version and/or region the phone is from, then no one can be of much further help. It's rare that this happens on phones that have never been modified, but it's not the first time. Typically it is resolved by just running the RUU, but it's quite possible there isn't one yet for that device and update. If you do not know the specifics of the phone, then it is best to set up fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 and boot to the bootloader and while connected in Fastboot mode to run the command from a Command Prompt: fastboot getvar all and post the results (leave out the IMEI and serial numbers).
This MIGHT be what you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/general/updates-htc-desire-816wdual-t2850329 - IF it is the correct region for where your phone was originally sold.
General outline for manual OTA install:
Make sure to have the correct CID and MID on your phone. (see: fastboot getvar all output for this info)
Make sure to have the correct Stock ROM version software on your phone.
Make sure to have the stock Recovery installed. (you already have this so skip)
Copy OTA file to SDCARD
Boot to Stock recovery and once at the triangle, press volume up + power to get the blue recovery menu. Then select ‘install from internal memory’ (or something like that) and find the file.
Update should install and your firmware and software should both match the version of the OTA Update.
I have NO idea if the xda link for the OTA is the correct one for your phone, so don't blame me if you don't research to see if it is the one you need and you mess up your phone. Good luck.

Reaching out for help!

So I have my new HOX+ (AT&T). I got it boot unlocked, perma rooted...and the first thing i tried to modify was the fonts using the "font installer" app. Well this turned into a fiasco. it installed the font...showed a whole string of *insert Asian language characters here* on the status bar, went into a reboot...and never came back again. It boots to the White HTC splash screen, and just hangs.
At this point, I can reboot into TWRP recovery...but for whatever reason....my recovery isn't present. I don't know what i screwed up...but it isn't there. So I wiped everything...now I need an OS. Preferably a factory ROM....but I don't think anything exists yet for the AT&T model. And how can I get it on the phone!? I come from a world of GS3, where Odin could save the day...
Can anyone help me out/point me the right way?

I can USB mount the phone within TWRP..but when it shows up as a drive on my comp, clicking on it yields a "please insert a disk" message...
Wish I could help. I know how much your situation sucks. It's one of the drawbacks of hacking our device. The carrier or company will obviously not help since its our fault. Hopefully you got it working by now.

Still "softbricked".
I cant get my machine to recognize the device when it is on TWRP with the storage mounted, so I cannot get a zip file on it to do anything.
This is what I get when I launch into TWRP with the device plugged into my comp.

So the device wont appear under "My Computer", therefore I cannot copy any .zip file to the device, therefore, its a brick.

UPDATE I redid it, and this time, remembered to flash the image file first, THEN install the .zip.

Wow... glad you got it fixed, but sorry that no one was apparently around to help you out today. In the future, you can also flash the RUU file to return to stock.

Help ME Please OTA Update Has my phone stuck in a boot loop

So i read a bunch of threads and people said the new update was fine and wouldnt try to remove root. So i decided to give it a go and see if that was true. Well when it rebooted it keeps rebooting into twrp no matter what i do. Im not good with linux commands but how do i fix this? Also i only have one file to be modified and thats for the dual window mod so i could dual window all apps. Is this part of the problem?
I found a thread that told me some command lines to restart the phone without needing to wipe but how do i get rid of this ota update?

While you can (sometimes) install an OTA while your phone is rooted, you should never try to install one when it is fully unlocked (i.e. - custom recovery installed). You edit seems to indicate you fixed it, but if you're still having issues I know there are steps to get out of the bootloop you're experiencing, I just don't have off hand where they're at. Bottom line, if you're root AND unlocked (running twrp), you should never take an OTA as there's no reason for it. You can install one of the fine stock-based roms that have been updated to the latest VZW software and have no risk in doing so. Just for future reference

Follow this command lines and that will or should reboot your phone to before you tried to install the newest update. The same thing happened to me with the last update. Those commands came in handy.

Pays to have a copy of LG Flashtool and the stock firmware
See the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2907508
If you have a USB otg cable, you can put the flash...zip file linked in the post on a flash drive, then tell twrp to install that to clear the ota.
Alternately, twrp has a small terminal emulator. Look at the part of the post with the commands listed. Only input the su and two dd command lines, in twrp.
After either of the above, tell twrp to reboot to system.
Once you can successfully get back to your normal system, either freeze "System updates...." or use a file manager to rename the two LGDMSClient files found in /system/app, then reboot your phone one more time.

According to the official post all oppo phone shares the same flashing method which’s indicated here: https://bbs.coloros.com/thread-69458-1-1.html
But since currently only Chinese version firmware is available so flashing between regions is still a myth....
Hi, my friends, what's going on? Has anyone been able to actually install the international version with all languages in the Chinese version PAFM00 ?? I'm turning up the internet and nothing. My color is in version 5.2.1 and I would like to know if you already have a secure provision for this update.
I tried to flash the A. 28
official ver but did'nt work ot stopped in t he middle of the process, and then it says update failed. I did it with this method did'nt work.

Never try any of that unless you have teh cash to buy a new phone or take it back to oppo to fix.

He now has to send the find X back to oppo.
Also he can't flash his original firmware.

You can use the msm tool. If you have a login and password.
Loads already posted on this topic.
Most are waiting for the 15th to see if they are lucky enough to unlock the bootloader.

Problem is "No one HAS the password"..... hopefully someone can grab the script, as the Chinese Rom is [email protected] in general is very poor, which makes the find X very difficult to use as a daily.
I love the Find X, but it desperately needs a stock rom, or even OxygenOS would be nice yes I know that can't be posted, but anything stock would make the Find X an absolute joy....:good:
I just took delivery of my R.O.G though so I can patiently wait to see if anything does happen.....
how to flash ozip ?
@Uometydev
1) Are we able to download the full RUU firmware from Oppo ?
2) Are we able to flash Oppo firmware through fastboot oem method ?

Does anyone successfully unbrick the phone in recovery mode?

Can't update rooted N10

I have been trying to update my phone but everytime I try the OTA it says installation failed. I ignored it for a few months now bc I didn't want to lose root after updating. How can I install the OTA? I am on MetroPCS (BE88CF)
I tried disabling AdAway thought it may be blocking the servers but that didn't work.

"Ok, looks like the download has failed/corrupted. Open the File Manager app > go to settings in the FM app and enable "Show Hidden Files" > then go to the device storage and look for a folder called ".OTA" - delete it and its contents. Then reboot your phone and try again."
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem. Not even unrooting fixes it. There is no .OTA folder on my phone either.

Flash stock boot.img for your model and firmware. Probably gonna need the original recovery image too if you've got anything besides stock.
Relock bootloader using fastboot.
As long as there's nothing that can be checked back as invalid, you should be able to update your phone proper.

I tried reflashing stock recovery and boot images, but it didn't work. Relocking the bootloader shouldn't be necessary, but if it is I'll just go without updating. I don't feel like having to wipe out my phone to unlock the bootloader again every time there is an update.

Sadly it's a boatload of effort to get the update. Either you go back to 100% stock, or live with it.
I said screw it and just moved everything to my memory card before using the msm reset app

I managed to get the last update installed by reinstalling 11.0.2 through the Oxygen Updater, then 11.0.3 installed fine. I was going to try to repeat this method with 11.0.3 to get to 11.0.4, but Oxygen Updater no longer allows me to download 11.0.3. I tried to sideload it and do a local update, but the phone won't find it. I can't even install it through fastboot commands because the OTA is incremental and the payload dumper won't work on it.
I was able to update by doing what you said and relocking the bootloader after reflashing stock and boot images. Relocking bricked the phone so I had to use the unbrick tool. Definitely a pain to have to do this every time, Then I ran into problems restoring my TWRP backup that I had to figure out lol. I'll probably just update every two or three updates from now on. Plus all this reflashing opens up more opportunities for RCS features to stop working on Google Messages because they are so finicky. Then my texts act up for 3-10 days until RCS starts working again. Luckily they reconnected right away this time.
Thanks for the help.

I'm having the very same problem right now. I tried to root the device and everything worked well so far, but neither Wifi nor Bluetooth is getting activated. Changing to the other boot slot ended up in a boot loop back to fastboot.

Same problem. Everything working fine just Wi-Fi,camera,Bluetooth not working.
Which method did you use to root your device?
I'm following @halloweenm925's advice and downloaded the firmware for the EU version of the CPH2465 with a second device. How would you move forward if you had this file?
this boot img can boot ur phone but wifi and everything not working..
So I got the stock rom but neither the Wifi nor the Bluetooth is coming up. I'm kind of desperate right now. Can anybody support?

inbox me bro.. just now i fixed the problem
Solved the problem. Here is how I did it.
1) On a second Android phone, download the Oxygen Updater App
2) Open the app, set it to advanced settings, chose the device with the semi-bricked status, download the full zip
3) the zip file will be downloaded to sdcard's user root => transfer the zip file to your semi-bricked device
4) on your semi-bricked device, go to settings>updates, click on the top right three-point-menue and chose "local installation"
5) select the zip file and do the update
After the unpacking and verification is finished, reboot the phone and things should be back to normal.
If you want, you can now give the rooting a second try. There are a lot of tutorials, I used this one since I had the stock full rom:
Root OnePlus Nord CE 5G using Magisk [No TWRP Required]
Do you own a OnePlus Nord CE 5G android smartphone? If yes, today, we will share with you how you can Root OnePlus Nord CE 5G with the help of the Magisk
magiskapp.com
The full stock rom which is downloaded as described above needs to be extracted with the help of a script: as described here:
[LINUX][GUIDE] ROM Payload Image Dump
Now we have dumpers for Win/Mac/Linux! Great!
forum.xda-developers.com
So the steps to root the device would be
1) download the full rom as described above
2) extract the boot.img with the help of aforementioned python script
3) follow the steps as described in the tutorial linked above
I think what caused the initial issue on my side was that I simply was not on the same OS version on the device as the boot.img which I extracted from the full zip which is totally my own fault because almost every tutorial mentions it explicitly that you have to have the latest update on your to-be-rooted device AND make sure that you have the same ROM available to root your device.
Questions welcome!
