Every thread I see is saying you have to unroot to recieve the ota, which is not true. All you have to do is flash the factory recovery and then update . It updates the radios also

Where can we find the stock recovery?

Good catch, makes sense there that we never got S-OFF in the first place.

You should search in the dev section, there should be stock recovery in some of the zips.

I’m definitely a noob when it comes to this, but I am on HBOOT 1.5 and unlocked my phone via the HTCDev method. But I was able to flash back to the stock recovery, install the OTA update, then flash back to my custom recovery, and flash Superuser again to retain root. Everything worked fine for me.
1. Made a Nandroid backup (just in case)
2. Download and rename the zip file above to PG86IMG.zip, then put it on the root of your SD card
3. Boot into HBoot (this should automatically kick off the installing of the stock recovery zip file)
4. Reboot phone and let it load normally
5. Install OTA update
6. If all goes according to plan and it updates, I remove the PG86IMG.zip off of my SD card
7. Plug in phone and flash twrp through fastboot (follow this guide here)
8. Flash su again to retain root
9. Probably make a Nandroid backup at this point just for fun
10. Reboot my phone and use it like normal with the lastest OTA update.
Before OTA update:
Android version: 2.3.4

Well i haven't tried to flash recovery the pg86img way. I flashed it through fastboot and flash image gui but I will try your method n see if it works.

It should work through fastboot with the recovery.img as well I think. One note that I forgot to mention is that I'm on the Stock ROM as well (as in, after I originally unlocked my phone, all I did was flash a custom recovery ... I've never flashed a custom ROM).
I have hboot 1.5 to and also not working never installed a custom ROM just custom recovery (was only interested in getting titanium backup working). Guess the above steps only work for 1.4 or less?
Just tried your method and still a no go... I'm also on stock rom... After I flash the stock recovery I do the update n it actually starts to install but after the green bar gets a quarter of the way I get the red triangle with the ! In it.... That has happens no matter Wut method I use.... Don't know Wut else to do...

I have hboot 1.5 (and s-on) as well and it worked for me. I was pretty much in the same boat as you with only flashing a custom recovery. Not sure what your problem is. Maybe you could ask a question in the Q&A section and see if you can get some responses.

Not sure what your problem is either. Maybe you flashed something or modified some system file so it can't update?
As far as I can remember I didn't modify anything but then again maybe I did.... Thanks for the help though.... I'll keep trying n see wut I can do

Did you replace your custom recovery with stock one and relock it ?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
So I have to relock after I flash stock recovery n then reboot n update?
Edit: I got it.... the problem was that I wasn't on the stock kernel.

Glad you got it working Luda. Did you relock your phone to get it to work, or just flash the stock kernel?
And as a note for others, I'm not sure what method timezone12 did, but for me, I did not relock my phone at any point. In review, I flashed the stock recovery, installed the update, then flashed my custom recovery and superuser again. Nothing was lost on my phone, I still have root on hboot 1.5 with s-on, and I have a working OTA update. One quick note that I wanted to mention is that I didn't use the stock recovery found in this thread (I used one from another thread on xda). This shouldn't matter, but I just wanted to make note of it. A lot of people are saying those in my situation need to relock their phone at some point, but I would respectfully disagree.
Well I'm not 100% sure it was cuz of the kernel but that's my guess. Wut I did was nandroid back to my stock backup I made right after I did the htcdev unlock thing then I flashed the stock recovery then did the update n all went well. So no need to relock and do the ruu thing that's going around these threads.

I'm not a big phone geek but I know enough to root and unlock my rezound. I wanna run a Rom but I still have the old firm ware. Are there any roms out there that I can use with the old firmware and no sense. Please help. Thanks for your guys time.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
You can run any rom you want. If you run an ICS rom with the leaked firmware you need the firmware patch.
Where do I find the firmware patch. The software that my phone is running is 2.91.605.11
The pri version is 1.13_002, 1.88_002

All the info you need is posted in the Roms op ........... In the dev section. In the install instructions.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I suggest running BAMF or Rezrom. Bamf you can already get in a senseless flavor, Rezrom you would have to enable AOSP lockscreen in Rezrom Tweaks & would have to install a launcher of your choice. Once you get the rom fully booted, do a reboot to recovery, do a USB moutn to rename PH98IMG in SD card root and flash old firmware patches, so you can access your sd card again.
I wanna thank everyone that helped me flash a senseless Ics rom. Thank you.

I have a rooted Thunderbolt. Have not changed the radio yet. How do I determine which radio version I am currently using. I am looking to install an MR2.x+ or MR3.+ to use with the Eternity Rom.
It's in about phone under baseband version.

Try running the RUU then. Does your Flyer's sotrage have enough capacity for the update? And have you tried running the OTA update after Factory Reset?
what is RUU?

Hey so I was just making sure. But, I know 4.4.2 comes out this week. If I flash a rom. Can I still get the update? Like a rom from the developer section?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
tl;dr version: No.
Elaborated version: Unless the developer of the ROM you are using decides to update to 4.4.2, then you won't even see the software update on your device. You can always flash an updated ROM and get the update that way, but as far as the official update from HTC/AT&T... It won't come to your device.
Hope this helps!
