I have htc one (M7) GSM version, unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp recovery and rooted the device (still S-ON)

Now I received a new OTA update, and as usual, i flashed the stock recovery to install the update

However, this time, when trying to install the update, the device reboots, starts installing (with a green triangle) and half way stops and the screen shows a red triangle...

Any idea why does it fail?

can you post your fastboot getvar all please, without imei and serial number

the reason it fails is because a folder called data/preload is missing.

The second link helps finding which assert is failing

In my case, I get "Check /data/preload/SoundHound_Freemium.apk failed, error No such file or directory()"

I have never deleted a system app before... i guess i have to find a way to flash it or something...

Thanks

EDIT: the packaged app "SoundHound" version 6.1.2 is there, and is enabled... I don't understand why the update fails

EDIT2: I can't find the folder /data/preload at all... it seems this folder is deleted after unlocking the bootloader

EDIT3: It looks like we should have backed up these apps before unlocking the bootloader... now I guess we have to extract them from the update package and copy them manually

EDIT4: this is an old post that sums it up in a nice way... yet, without a solution for those who didn't take notice
