I used revolution to get s-off and root last night. Is it possible to take the original ota so I can stop the nagging and have the newer hboot? Or will this cause me to lose s-off?

You will likely have to root again, which isn't a problem. You could have taken the OTA a month ago. It's better to have your phone working 100% than crippling it.
Now that we have S-OFF/Perm ROOT..all will be ok.
Teamwin's recovery does not work to flash the OTA. Anyone do this with clockwork from the s-off load?

Why take OTA? If you have s off just flash a rom that is based on the OTA version. I would recommend that you never take an OTA now just incase.
Good point... most OTA will overwrite Su binary and patch the hole that allowed root. This OTA does not.

I lost my root on the last OTA and since there are still no new method to re root on this new version might as well wait till the JB update. I think by Mid August / Sept we can see the new OTA to JB

There is a thread that I used after the OTA by xHausx that brought back r00t for me flawlessly, and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader?
FYI.

I almost tried this until I read the following ~ I wanted the fixes in the latest OTA:
"Successful in rooting all builds up to 1.13.651.1."
It works for 1.22. It unlocks your phone and installs twrp. You just have to flash chainfires 0.94 superuser to be fully rooted

Wait, this is getting confusing. We should always be able to unlock thru htcdev on this phone no matter the firmware update. Achieving S-OFF is not yet possible on hboot 1.15, so, that's what some of us are hoping to have...

Yes, S-OFF on hboot 1.15 is a work-in-progress, perhaps with a future Lazy Panda exploit.
I believe the original user's requirement was root and unlocked on the current OTA.
These are HTC phones. You can always use HTC dev as a last resort. We will always have root.
Also, don't accept otas if your rooted or ever plan on rooting.

What do you get from being s-off? I'm htc dev unlock with s on and I've been able to run every rom with no problem and able to update my radio?

Believe that s-on with the new hboot restricts u as to what is flashable, ie kernels, splash screens, radios. Whereas the old hboot does not. Why some of us are waiting for s-off on current ota/hboot.

I have my Sprint evo 3D rooted and running a rom as a daily driver.. But I was wondering if I were to do the sprint official OTA update.. Will I lose root? And is it safe to do the sprint OTA to my rooted evo?

You will lose root, but if you are s-off that will remain. Also is it safe to update but you will have to reroot alover again. Safest bet would be waiting for someone to make a rooted stock rom of ICS.
If you are s-off, you can ruu back to stock, take the ota, and keep s-off. See Ramjet's steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29764326
If you are s-on, you should get s-off first.

i actually was thinking about doing the ota update and not have root well cause the evo 3d is my mom phone now so its no point of her actually having root access when she only uses her phone for text and calls ..so i would have to do ruu to stock then do the ota.. ? im already on a rom and rooted so im asking can i just do the update from this custom rom im already on?

Maybe if you are using the stock recovery. If you don't want it rooted, the easiest way is to lock the bootloader, run a GB ruu (which puts you at stock), then let the ROM take the ota. This will guarantee that you only have Sprint code on your Mom's phone.

im so lazy to do all of that lol i thought i can just do the ota update ..but then again i iam on a ics based rom for the evo 3d

Once an ruu of the new ota comes out, you'll just have to lock and then run it.

I'm on baseband 1.05.11.0606 with s-off, rooted, running MeanROM 4.2. H-boot is 1.12. What would be the best way to update my radios/firmware? I thought I had done this through the pj75img method but I guess something went wrong.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
You're right, just put the PJ75IMG.zip from this thread on your external sd card and then boot into the bootloader. It will auto detect the zip and ask if you want to install update. Just know that once you upgrade you're stuck on that version since downgrading has resulted in bricking for a lot of people.

Best way is flashing the zip if you have s-off, otherwise its a hassle
So I can just download the file and installthe zip using twrp? Or just the use pj... method? Either is fine, would just grab the file without the hboot update.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I don't think firmware can be flashed from recovery. PJ75IMG updates must be flashed by the bootloader.

Ok cool. Thats what I thought, just wanted to be sure. I'll download and give it a try tonight. Any reason why I'd want to downgrade firmware ever? Unless a ROM isn't compatible.
Never attempt to downgrade firmware, it can be done but its more risk then its worth. A lot of people bricked their lte trying to downgrade but that was an hboot problem. Still I don't feel its worth it to downgrade
Thanks. Didn't plan to downgrade but I see the warnings about not doing it so was trying to figure out why someone would have to. I figured that's what led to the discovery that downgrading was a bad thing.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Well there are quite a few phones that have been exploited with a simple downgrade but I guess HTC did something because its pretty much a guaranteed brick. The only reason I could see to downgrade is ROM compatibility but all the ROMs are pretty much caught up and I don't think anyone ever actually managed to prove it was a legitimate fix
Downloaded and just flashed and confirmed its updated. Just wanted to say thanks.

If a evo 4g lte is rooted but S-on can it accept ota while in this state? Thanks.

You have to relock your bootloader to be able to take the OTA I'm pretty sure

I think you just need to type "fastboot oem lock" without the quotes in a cmd window.
An RUU will take you back to complete stock.
I have never done it so not 100%
Question why have you not tried to go S-OFF? It would save you so many headaches.
I'm pretty sure you need the stock recovery to accept an OTA so RUU is probably the way to go
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I can confirm. RUU failed until I had the stock recovery and locked bootloader

adb tools w/stock recovery incase anyone needs it
I'm S-On, Unlocked, rooted, hboot 1.15 and have TWRP (don't recall which custom ROM I installed months ago but it is stock based). When I checked for the JB update I was notified it was there and was able to download it but I haven't tried installing yet. Will I be able to install it or will I need to re-lock, un-root or otherwise modify my phone before I can install stock JB?
Some people are having trouble recovering root after 2.03, might be better to wait a bit longer
Trying to use revone to get back to s-off after installing the new OTA update but I'm getting an error.
I saw in the revone thread that it should work on hboot 1.44 which mine still is.
Specifically, I'm getting error -6. Anyone successfully gain s-off after the new update?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
i'm having the same problem I'm going to try and relock and revert back the firmware to the original software
Can you even downgrade back to a fully stock .8 phone after installing the .11 update? Assuming the phone is S-On of course.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
no theres no full ruu for the original version what i'm going to try to do is fast boot flash whats in the old ruu
OK if you wouldn't mind letting me know how that goes. It's not a huge deal for me since I wasn't running any ROMs due to really liking wifi calling and the tmobile camera but I'd like to know I can get back to S-Off if I wanted

I have S-off with .11... it was off before the update, just had to re-install the stock recovery for the update to install. Can toggle on and off.
Now it seems the camera update (that restores HDR) has caused my camera to no longer work AT ALL.
Yeah. I didn't know that the update would work with s-off so I turned it back on before updating.

No. they patched the S-Off method used by revone. You can still root.
