Update HTC One with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Official Firmware [TUTORIAL]

HTC has begun rolling out Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Over-The-Air (OTA) software update for the HTC One which runs Android 4.1.2 out of box. Recently, HTC UK also announced via Twitter that the roll-out of Android 4.2.2 for HTC One has already started in the UK from 15 July.

HTC One users, who have not received the OTA notification yet for the update, may follow our step-by-step guide to install the Android 4.2.2 manually on their devices.

IBTimes UK reminds its readers that it will not be held liable for any mishap. Users are also advised to verify that their handsets meet following requirements before installing the firmware.

Pre-requisites

1) Install USB Driver for HTC One to connect the Android device with computer.

2) Enable USB Debugging Mode on the phone to connect it with the computer and use Android SDK with it. [Press Menu>> Settings>> Applications. From there navigate and click on Development option then check the USB Debugging Mode.]

3) As the tutorial might wipe all data of the phone, create a back-up. If the device is having any custom recoveries such as CWM/TWRP already installed then backup data using recovery.

4) The HTC One should have above 80 per cent of battery charge.

5) The device will lose custom ROM with the installation of official firmware. Additionally, it will lose custom recovery such as ClockworkMod/TWRP which will be replaced by stock recovery.

6) The phone will no longer belong to a rooted version with the installation of official build.
