OTA update fails

Hi all,

I bought a 2nd hand HTC One m8, and today I tried to install the OTA fix for stagefright, and after my phone rebooted I was faced with the following error message (see attached photo): "Package expects build fingerprint of htc/telus_wwe/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C/463267.2:user/release-keys or htc/telus_wwe/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C/463267.3:user/release-keys; this device has htc/h3g_uk/htc_m8:5.0.2/LRX22G/509530.6:user/release-keys.".

After searching around, I found out that this is likely the result of rooting and modifying the system or flashing a custom recovery. So I booted into HBOOT and was greeted with (see 2nd photo):

Code:

---

*** Software status: Modified ***
*** RELOCKED ***
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON

---

Which seems to indicate that the device has indeed been tampered with.

I've searched around to try to figure out how I can restore my device to 100% stock firmware, but they all seem to require unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device. Do I have a simpler option? I tried saving the OTA zip file and extracting recovery.img from the firmware.zip file, but when I try to flash it via "fastboot flash recovery", I get:

Code:

---

target reported max download size of 1826414592 bytes
sending 'recovery' (13218 KB)...
OKAY [  1.451s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.923s

---

It seems strange that the stock recovery image fails the signature verification?

I'd really appreciate any advice on how to resolve this situation - and preferably an option which doesn't require wiping my entire phone, since it takes me hours to set everything back up again...

If you've managed to read this far, I am grateful :) I never intended to mess around with the phone in the first place, I guess that's what I get for buying second hand....

PS. The phone is from Telus

Upgrade to 5.1.1 with ODIN fails, BL and Modem already 5.1.1

Hi all

I thinks I've done a big mess. Following the xda guide to install modified ROM via ODIN, I've upgraded BL and Modem to 5.1.1
Now, the red string appears on the left top of the screen: INVALID MAGIC STRING
This is the guide

Do exactly step-by-step the following things:
- Unplug your Phone (IMPORTANT!)
- Turn your Phone completely off (This is IMPORTANT)
- Start your Phone in download mode on this way: Press Vol down + Home + Power buttons till the screen turns on, press Vol Up to continue (Only enter download mode on this way, otherwise it won't work!!)[/B]
- Open Odin 3.10.6 on your PC (Make sure you're using this version of Odin, other versions won't work correctly maybe!)
- Click on the 'BL' button, and load in your BOOTLOADER tar.md5 file for your model
- Click on the 'CP' button, and load in your MODEM tar.md5 file for your model
- DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE (you can brick your phone if you choose other settings in Odin)
- Now Connect your phone to your computer (DO NOT connect your phone before this step, otherwise it won't work!)
- Click on the Start button
- Wait till it finish flashing.
- Your phone reboots automatically after flashing.
- Always check after flashing: Settings -> About device -> Baseband; that should show the same modem build number noted as here.
And also check if the bootloader got flashed correctly by downloading an AndroidTerminal app, and enter this command: getprop ro.boot.bootloader

Unfortunately, after this procedure I can't rollback to 5.0.2, neither I can't install 5.1.1. stock firmwares (from sammobile) with ODIN. It goes always FAIL:

Please anyone of you can help me to unblock my device? Whatever firmware is good if device will work again.

Encryption fails??

Hi
Anyone have an idea, why after installing a custom rom eg. blispop/excodus or whatever, after flasjing and booting the first time (whit or whitout gapps) i get a encryption fail . saying this was interrupted and not done....try factory resetting (button at middle off screen, says reset) and doing so don´t change anything, manual wiping also changes nothing...??

I´ve never seen this prompt before and not sure what it exactly means?
It happens after flashing cos official 2.14, with twrp 2.8.7.2 , all flashed just fine and working...in cos.
Flashing custom roms gives no errors and seems fine, it boots to the point where this encryption thing shows up?

Tried fastboot oem unlock, which adb says went ok, but no changes whit this error!

Oh and i merged internal sd when i was in cos 2.14 recovery and it works just fine

thx in advance guy´s :D

Fastboot flash always fails with "Permission denied"

So no matter what image (recovery, boot, system) I try to flash I get the same error of "Permission denied". Model ZE551ML.

I've unlocked my bootloader and previously had TWRP recovery, but while trying to upgrade to .63 by Fastboot flashing method, I got the above error and now it's soft bricked. I managed to get the stock recovery back from within TWRP, but even it won't apply signed updates (fails with Status 7). So I can't flash any of the stock images nor TWRP again, and I'm in a constant bootloop. Any help or suggestions are welcome!

I need help cant flash with odin its always fails :(

Please create a sticky for this, as the list will surely grow longer with more regrets for not buying a Samsung:

OTA update fails, best way of update?

Hello.
I have a Honor 6 L04 device. I'm currently on EMUI 2.3, but I wanna update to the latest 3.1. OTA update is failing maybe because of root or something else.
Is there any other EASY way of updating to 3.1? Can I just do a factory reset and flash a stock 3.1 rom?
