[November 13th 2018] System Update 1.24.709.93 rolling out

metaxuss · Nov 13, 2018

Hey folks,

I just got the notification for a system update. TW Model, currently in Germany. However, I tried capturing the ota link for patching the boot.img, but it gives me an error. Anyone with more luck than me?

Greetings

Update:
I managed to get the OTA.zip off my phone, but the update itself fails at 24%. Restored stock boot.img before of course. Has someone already installed it?

September 2018 security on latest 1.24.709.93... Can't remember before that... And I couldn't spot any difference between the two, does anybody see anything new?

I've got it too on my TW model in the Netherlands.

Besides the security patch going from June 1 to September 1 I don't see anything different yet. Then again, there weren't any bugs I'm aware of, that needed fixing. 700MB+ seems like a lot for 3 months of security patches though.

It's nice to get an update and be less behind in security patch date again.

Thanks, HTC!

Tw version in Malaysia. Already updated. Everything okay. Doesn't explore much because going to work. only feel different at the display color. Looked better

UK version, no update available so far and still on 1 December 2017 security patch. I'd settle for them fixing the notification issue.

Very important question:
Where/in which precise folder is the OTA update saved in HTC U11+ after downloading (I cannot find it...)
Thx a lot!

did you manage to update?
same situation here: although I flashed back to original boot.img (included in the last OTA update end of July 2018 which was later patched by Magisk), the update stucks at 24% with red error. Luckily the phone boots normally without applied update.

Anybody any idea how to proceed? I already tried to flash back the original boot.img from the stock RUU and also to use the boot.img provided in the latest OTA: with both boot.img (although both have very same size) the phone stucks at HTC logo but does not continue to boot.
Currently the HTC U11+ boots only from the boot.img provided with 709.8 OTA, (also booting with the patched_boot.img done by Magisk derived from the same).
I am a bit stuck here: Magisk should not touch the system (so no idea why the OTA stops at 24%) and only 1 out of 3 boot images are working (although all with same size), so currently I am not able to apply the OTA update...
I have read that for OTA updates the integrity (?) of the recovery.img is important ( (although Magisk should also not touch the recovery.img (?)

Any ideas?
best regards, Marusia

Looks like htc forgot people are still buying their phones outside Taiwan, or they don't have enough money to hire a translator!! I am an old loyal customer for 8 years, but here they are doing everything to let us get another brand, it's like they stabbed themselves and slowly turning the knife to feel more pain

I also flashed the recovery.img from the latest OTA, but still the red triangle.
Is it possible to flash the whole OTA via fastboot? Maybe thats a possibility.

I also flashed latest OTA recovery,same result...
I guess the only way is to flash back to stock RUU (which will lead to unrooted phone), install latest OTA via WLAN, then unlock bootloader (via HTCdev website) and root again with Magisk. I never did RUU flashing, so currently backing up everything with Titanium, if I proceed I will let you know the result...
Flashing the latest OTA might brick the phone (the red triangle already indicates that something went seriously wrong, although I have no clue what it could be: never touched the system, Magisk only patches the boot.img), instructions should be in the forum.

marusia7 · Nov 23, 2018

Tried another thing: disabling the systemless Xposed (installed via Magisk), reboot, restoring boot.img via Magisk, OTA download & trying to install --> red triangle...

I cannot remember if I disabled Xposed before the last OTA update few months ago. I had there some issues too (after successful OTA install the phone stuck at boot so I had to reflash the OTA-boot.img again via fastboot), maybe this procedure broke the possibility to install current OTA.

Will maybe try to flash selectively restored stock RUU images (without applying first the whole stock RUU) on the weekend (I have been informed by PM that this procedure should be harmless), so reverting to whole stock RUU is still not the last option.

These OTA files dont contain system.img (the system.img file should be >4Gb).
1) Did you experience also OTA update issue (red triangle) as described in this thread?
2) Just to clarify: you flashed 1st the system.img derived from the stock RUU and afterwards applied the 709.93 OTA update?
