[Q] Trying to do an OTA

andregardner · Aug 27, 2014

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?

S-Off and install just the firmware only then grab the newest Viper.

That's the thing, I want to go back to stock :/

I tried downloading a stock nandroid back up from here http://xdaforums.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.

Ok thanks,

Do you know where I could get the 4.4.2 RUU? (Or a list of them?)

Thanks for this

Hmm. Not sure if there is an official RUU for that one. Here is a TWRP nandroid I found though: http://goo.gl/cAEvWm

Thank you!

I will try this, it should work as everything else is stock.

Just to be clear this is a stock TWRP nandroid backup?

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.

So I flashed that ROM today and the OTA worked!

Thank you soooo much for finding it!

I'm now on 4.4.3, so I can use ViperOne properly
