Stuck at boot after OTA update I just today updated my unlocked, rooted HTC One M7 as usual, by


flashing the stock recovery
rebooting and downloading / installing the system update


The update went over without any problems, but after the update completed, it did not complete the boot process any more. It's stuck at the boot-logo of htc, after displaying the carriers logo. Forcing it to shut down and go in to the bootloader works fine, aswell as opening the recovery (both the stock one, and the custom one [TWRP]). However, no matter how many times I try to reboot, no success.

Normally in this situation, I would obviously just restore a previously made Nandroid backup, but since I am asking this question, well, you guessed it.. I felt too comfortable with the process and skipped the step of creating one.

I am really, really hoping that there is a way to fix this issue without having to lose my data.



Some additional information;


CID: VODAP110
OS before update: 7.18.161.2 (Dito for stock recovery)
OS after update: 7.18.161.21
Unlocked and S-OFF
H-BOOT: 1.61.0000
RADIO: 4T.35.3218.16


(It is an m7_ul variant, so nothing un-standard there)



EDIT: Due to the necessity of me being able to use my phone I gave up and chose the easy way out -> recovery, through a nandroid backup a few months back. However, if someone still finds an answer to this, I am very happy to accept it, for future viewers.
Just found this thread because I was looking for the changes the update did.

I can't give you an answer you are maybe looking for of how to fix this, but just a question before:
How long did you wait?

My phone is not rooted but I noticed, that it took really long until the boot was over (got stuck at the htc boot logo like yours too)

I was waiting a little bit for about 3 or 4 minutes and then went away. When I came back it was finished. But for sure it took longer than usually.

Hope this will help you maybe.
