AT&T 4.4.2 update solution

r3al_0g · Feb 27, 2014 at 11:05 PM

These are the steps i took to get the Kit Kat update.

I couldnt get the update OTA like most people and i was completely stock.

So if you are in a similar position these steps may help.

DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!

1. Unlock your bootloader and get root access. I did by following these instructions from this video.

2. Gain S-OFF by following these instructions from this video.

3. After you have completed these steps successfully head over to @clsA thread and download the AT&T 4.4.2 OTAPkg.zip and the

stock Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img. Link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374

4. Place the downloaded .zip on the root your phone storage.

5. follow the steps in @clsA post and flash Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img via fastboot.

6. Navigate to recovery from fastboot on your HTC ONE. If you see "Mount SDCard failed" ignore it. goto to phone storage and locate the update.zip and flash it.

this worked for me, it should also work for anyone else.

So am I the only person who went into settings and Clicked AT&T update and got the 4.4.2 update that way. I have never had a phone in all my life tell me an update was ready. I always had to check manually about once or twice a week out of boredom. Did the same with my ONE last week and sure enough there was an update and it downloaded and installed fine.

If you're stock, you should be able to get the update just by changing the date. I brought my phone back to stock (3.17.502.3) then just kept hitting Software Update. If it didn't update, advance the date and try again. After a few date changes, the update was offered.

Will it work if you are running a custom recovery like TWRP?

Anyone know if there are issues with S-Off and rooting since the update? I am 100% stock, non rooted, never installed a rom. Its been stock since the day I got it. I planned on getting the AT&T update to 4.4.2, rooting, making an update then testing some roms.

I know with other phones the update screwed some things up so I didn't know if rooting/s-off were an issue since the update.

Thanks ll!

So what exactly do we need to get OTA?

Stock recovery, android 4.3, locked bootloader?

I have all that, and still not finding an OTA update. Manually looking for the update, and I'm just not getting it.

Oh, I meant from at&t over the air. I feel like I'm missing something, so trying to find out what the ota requirements are.

I can't flash it yet, I only have a windows 8.1 computer with usb 3.0 ports. Fastboot doesn't work.

@chp recommend advancing your date and try and see if the update comes through. Try it a few times and see if it will work for you also

Tried that with no luck. Had to do a factory reset because I went to far, and my OTA check was in -300 hours.

You guys are forgetting that to be able to update the OTA, you need to have an ACTIVE at&t sim card inserted to your phone. I think this is the reason for all the confusion around since not everybody lives in the US

Downgrade to 4.3

OK, so I was able to upgrade but now I messed it up trying to patch default.xml. :crying:

I am trying to revert to the 4.3 with RRU but I get error 155.

I am S-Off, HBOOT 1.56.

I tried with bootloader re-locked, unlocked, locked. I tried with stock recovery and with ClockWM recovery both locked and unlocked.

I also tried to re-apply the patch with stock recover but it fails verification...

Any ideas how do I go back or fix this?

Thanks
Adrian

The BEST way to make sure that you can run the RUU, whether it be the ATT version, or the Dev Edition is to make sure you downgrade the HBOOT to 1.44. You will never see than error again. No problems at all. Why on Earth though would you want the ATT version, when you can Dev it, and take the 4.4.2 OTA with no carrier BS?

Thank you.

Actually that is what I did. After downgrading HBoot I was able to use the RRU.

Unfortunately I use my phone for work with Mobileiron and will flag it to IT if I'm rooted. I have tried a couple of workaround so but did not work very well. Every time I try to monkey with it IT starts getting emails every 30 min saying my device is not compliant and I am rooted.... So my best solution is to unlock boot loader and flash mods there. Which got me into this trouble....

I can't navigate to the recovery after I flashed Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img to install the OTA. I've tried going to recovery mode and then pressing Power + Vol. Up to no avail. Any help?
