Unable to update phone through OTA updates

Hi there,
I own a HTC One M8 which I purchased locally from Singapore. My software version has the .707. code.
Recently, when I received an OTA update to my phone I was unable to update it, the phone would go to the update screen and the green bar would load halfway before changing to the screen of a phone with a red triangle.
I had previously unlocked my phone using HTC Dev. I then flashed SuperSu to root my phone. I am now unable to get rid of SuperSu from my phone but was able to lock my phone using the instructions from HTC Dev with the "re-locked" logo on my stock recovery, which I was able to flash back onto my phone. Although SuperSu is on my phone, it does not work and root checker tells me that my phone is not rooted. My phone is also S-On.
I was foolish enough to not create a nandroid backup before beginning this process.
So if anyone has any instructions on how to revert my phone to complete stock or any advice, please tell me.
Thanks for your help!

What's your current version ?
Check here for the x.xx.707.x nandroid backup : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Steps
1. unlock bootloader (you don't need to relock bootloader to proceed OTA)
2. install TWRP recovery
3. restore nandroid backup
4. flash stock recovery
5. reboot and do the OTA

After downloading the recovery, I don't see it in the restore tab when I transfer it to my phone. How do I put in the recovery file?

I think he might have meant the TWRP backup files. Once he has flashed TWRP and loaded the files onto the folder he can't see it in the restore button/directory.

Make sure you unpacked the nandroid backup that you downloaded i.e unzip it and place it in the correct directory on your device. It'll be something like ... TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ <<Just put in serial number for your device.
Else if you don't know how, just quickly go into TWRP and make a backup of any file "boot" for example, that way TWRP will automatically create the path on the device for you. Remove the back up file only leaving the path in place then unzip the nandroid backup and place it in the directory TWRP gave to you.
Boot into recovery and restore the nandroid backup. When that is finished you flash the stock recovery back, as mentioned above by flyera, of course I'm saying that with the assumption that you already have adb + drivers installed on your computer.

I had to re-read a few times but I think you are right. The original post indicates that he must be familiar with adb and recovery installation. Good explanation..

I tried the following and it solved, but all data losted (make sure backup first):
1. download latest htc_fastboot.exe (version 3.0.8a)
2. download A55ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.45.707.2_Images.zip
3. c:\adb\adb reboot bootloader, then choose download mode:
a. c:\adb\htc_fastboot flash reovery recovery.img
b. c:\adb\htc_fastboot flash system system.img
c: c:\adb\htc_fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. reboot and get ota update 1.45.707.5, let the phone run update itself
5. c:\adb\htc_fastboot flash recovery twrp_e9pw_2.8.6.0_en.img to get TWRP
6. reboot recovery and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip to get rooted.
7. download SuperSU at Google play.

I am in similar situation now with HTC One ME (aka One M9ew: rooted with SuperSu, TWRP, Xposed installed) and want to install recent OTA - few questions:
1) is your zip file the original stock HBOOT zip or already the OTA?
2) would it be enough to flash boot.img and recovery.img from the OTA (not from original stock HBOOT file) to enable the OTA update?
3) if 2) is not working from OTA, would it work from stock HBOOT file but also avoiding system.img or is it necessary to flash stock system.img in any case?
about backups:
I did full nandroids (via TWRP) and Titanium backups (saved on external SD card)
question:
4) will the restore via nandroid override the OTA update?
Many thanks!

No need with unlocked bl, if you have fastboot. Just make sure your rom zip is on your sd card, then copy boot IMG from ROM to adb folder, and a recovery IMG, then 'fastboot flash boot boot.img', then 'fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery file).img', then reboot into recovery and flash ROM.
If you don't have fastboot, look here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
If you don't have drivers for your phone, download flashtool, and run driver pack - http://www.flashtool.net/

Unable to Root AT ALL

So I wanted to install a CM ver on my mother's Redmi 1s and first thing I have to do is root the device right?
<image>
I have tried downloading several SuperSU.zip from multiple sources, including here at xda forums and the miui forums, to no avail.
Every single attempt has been a failure using the Stock Recovery that comes with the phone.
Fine then, I'll just use a custom recovery. I then connected the phone to my laptop via USB and used the sdk I downloaded.
After typing this line >>adb reboot bootloader, the phone booted into a screen with the fastboot bunny, all normal yes?
Then I typed >>fastboot oem unlock, but the image below doesn't show up on the phone
<image>
Instead, the command prompt just shows a few lines of the process completing
<image>
I continued to enter>>fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img into cmd with the custom recovery image IN the platform-tools folder in sdk. Cmd again shows a few lines saying that the process completed.
<image>
However the phone still stays on the screen with the fastboot bunny, even after rebooting and then entering recovery mode, it is still the stock one. I have searched everywhere on how to root this phone but they just showed to install the SuperSU.zip using the stock recovery or the sdk method. If anyone could just help me solve this issue that would be great. If you need more information that I can provide regarding the issue feel free to ask. Thanks in advance !
P.s. Due to xda preventing me from posting outside links since I have not met the threshold, anyone who needs the pictures can message me privately.
Edit: Ah yes, I should also mention that I have tried using the stock Updater app to install the SuperSU.zip as well but that doesn't work. Also, I have tried using King Root and Kingo Root as the easy way, same thing.

Find the TWRP image for our device. I don't prefer the fastboot method; flashing TWRP and then the SuperSU zip is a whole lot more convenient as you don't need a computer.

But doesn't flashing TWRP without PC (with an app) requires the phone to be rooted to begin with? Or is there any workaround method?

Then use Philz recovery. There's a sticky in the general section that provides a link to such a guide using Philz. After rooting you can flash TWRP.

Nope, still doesn't work. Tried using the stock recovery to install update.zip and also flashing the .img via sdk, both doesn't work. I'm again out of options.

before do this backup your device
you can install custom recovery with official fastboot rom.
download any official fastboot rom for your device (stable or beta does not matter)
download twrp .img file for your device
rename your recovery image file to "recovery.img"
extract the fastboot rom
go to "images" folder in extracted fastboot rom
overwrite recovery.img file with your downloaded file
flash the fastboot rom with mi flash.
wait for the installation to complete
setup your device
turn off your device and go to custom twrp recovery.
after that you can install supersu or any custom rom via twrp.

I hope you have checked this post

For me..I started with a zip file containing the custom recovery (TWRP) it was named as Update.zip I got it from a tutorial I googled (noob, I know)...and I flashed it using stock recovery (Redmi 1s don't have locked bootloaders, I guess) and then I had Custom recovery installed..I made a backup of MIUI (it was unrooted, stock) and then flashed the CM 12.1( it was the latest then). Then there was no looking back.

HELP - TWRP on OnePlus 3 running the Open Beta 9 (Nougat ROM)

Here's the deal. I unlocked the bootloader of my OnePlus 3, flashed TWRP Recovery with "Tool All In One" through my pc. Then I was able to root my phone, I did it and then, flashed the Open Beta 9 through TWRP.
Now the problem I have now is that I'm unable to flash TWRP from my computer and I don't know why. It doesn't display any error or anything else. But when I boot into recovery mode, it is not TWRP, it's the stock one. Help me out. I want root and Xposed lol!

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
into recovery Vol Plus and Power
flash SU
beta9 is Nougat so xposed is not working yet.

You need adb and Fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979&page=95
On The Fastboot PATH
Same directory, Put twrp.img
Shift and Right Mouse.Open cmd and type
fastboot flash recovery "twrp file name.img"
You can get TWRP.
I recommend TWRP .28
After you can flash any Rom and Kernel , SU etc...

You need modified TWRP Recovery to Run Open Beta 9, official TWRP won't work
Here's the link for Modified TWRP
