If you are rooted, NEVER EVER take an ota update. It will unroot your phone (possibly permanently), and could likely brick it as well. When the ICS update is released, wait a few hours and someone here will post a rooted version that you can flash.
like htc evo 3d is one of the cellphones that was built with android 4.0?

Huh? No, it wasn't built with 4.0, if it was we would already have it.

Again, when it comes out, just flash a stock rooted version, if you wipe data first, you will have a factory fresh rooted phone.

thanks man! you know i'm so worried! lately i flashed a tock rom called Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_odex but its not anything like my old htc!! the status bar is really bad! you hace to click on evo 3d to bring up quick settings and htc sense is not working properly. icant auto link my contacs. i cant use android pc suit anymore and stuff! you mean that maybe i cant root my phone if a update it to android 4.0?
You might have a bad download or a bad flash. I use that zip anytime I want to go back to stock and never have any of those problems. Maybe redownload it or do a full wipe and reflash
We're comin from a pure power source.
If you are having issues with your current ROM. You could always run the ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU) found in the link below.
http://bit.ly/u3pMEN
Make sure to download the correct file.
(RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216)
After it has finished downloading. Re-lock your phone.
Then run the RUU.exe
This will take you back to the Stock HTC ROM.
DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE DURING THE PROCESS. IT COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Remember this will delete all your current data/apps so use TWRP on the android market to back up all your downloaded content.

There is ABSOLUTELY no need to run an RUU in this situation. The OP just flashed the wrong rom, or it didn't flash properly. All they need to do is wipe and flash again. There is no need to re-lock, run an ruu, then try to re-root...

yes i'm sure. i copy the file into my sd card then i go to recovery and install zip from sd. i unlocked with htcdev.com and i have revolutionary recovery. yes i wiped everything (data/cache/dalvik)

My 3vo is kinda broken I think, the battery life is super bad and it just has a lot of software related problems. Now I did S-off and root, and then didn't flash a rom, but I did flash bootscoot, which I think started it all. Now what I want is to restore my phone, and delete things like bootscoot. Can I do that with a hard reset? Remember, I want to keep S-off and root, but the rest can go. What do?
I have GSM 3vo btw, so there is no good stable rom I can flash, so I really want to keep the stock rom I have on there now, but hard reset AND restore flashes stuff. No way to do this?
Dangit, title is stupid. Don't want to restore flashed things, but delete them (restore to stock), Like bootscoot moved some system files, will they be moved back?
What the hell is a bootscoot?
To restore your phone completely back to how it was and keep S-OFF+root+busybox etc., first run the superwipe.
Here is team Xron's superwipe: http://www.androidfilehost.com/xron/Betas
Download the one titled "XRONFORMATALL"
Next, download a stable ROM. I couldn't find the stock 2.08 rooted ROM but you may be able to find it if you keep looking.
Now, place both zips on your SD card. Boot into recovery. First, wipe data. Then, flash the superwipe. After that, flash the ROM you downloaded and boot up.
You should now have nothing on your phone except the ROM you installed.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to return to complete stock 1.13 with S-ON and no root, you can flash the PG86IMG located here:

Flash the superwipe and wipe through recovery if you want just to be safe.

Bootscoot is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17748500
Ah damn this is the only way? That is not what I want...
I have the stock rom, but with root options. So what if I do a hard reset? It won't restore the flashed things? And what if I do a hard reset via cwm recovery? That won't fix things either. I just want to keep the stock rom, but with superuser. BTW I have GSM so not any good roms yet.

My Suggestion would be to just make a Nandroid backup of your phones Stock Rom, Then after you have the backup made try Wiping Data (Factory Reset) Also there PM86IMG Images that can be Ran from the SDCard which will Always give you back the OTA Updates!
Before I do anything else to screw this up!
I'm sitting at an exclamation in a triangle
here what I did..
1. installed stock/rooted rom
2. used clean flash to put on stock recovery
3. ran OTA Keeper to back up root
4. downloaded and started OTA update
it then rebooted and began but then Red Exclamation In A Triangle
anyone know where I should go or what I should do from here?
Thanks.
If your pc detects the phone- you'll prob have to do an ruu.exe to get it totally stock and then start over.. I did it earlier but I was having a diff problem (stuck in hboot)-- never got triangle/exclamation. I used the ruu from scottsroms (1.02.605.6).
yeah ok... I'll look into that. I haven't turned it back on yet.. Thanks
Just realized i forgot to "un-root" with the OTAKeeper app... I'm hoping that's what I did wrong. It booted back to where i was and said the update failed. So... I'm a tryin' again.
Thanks for the reply.. One can feel soooo alone when making mistakes
There's some other information in the OTA threads in "general" of others that have had the red triangle and were able to work around it.. I didn't read the specifics but check in there.

I'm going to run through those steps later and check out the other threads. I'm able to get back to my phone as the update looks to of just been aborted....
If you guys don't have wives, keep it that way, I want to work on this all day but...... so I'll check in later and post how it goes. I don't see why those steps won't work though... Thanks a ton guys.
I planned on waiting until the official build of ICS & Sense is released OTA, especially after today's news about the new features in Sense 4.0, which I'm actually extremely impressed with.
Cool- well I'm sure you've already read elsewhere- but you can't really go wrong w/ any of the custom ics roms in the dev section. If you can handle a very occasional screen flicker every once in a while they're pretty much perfect.

Did you lock the bootloader?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
No. I didn't. That was my mistake. Dumb of me. I'm gonna do the ruu and start over later, I'm out n about.

Why lock the bootloader? There are a bunch of us who were able to successfully OTA without doing so. My radios are all updated as well as the OS. If you debloated, you need to reenable the bloat prior. No need to unroot either.

Had Ineffabilis from 12/29, was great, put Clean ICS on it from 1/24, worked well except for the bluetooth pain in the patookie. (and I use bluetooth ALOT)...
I flashed back to GB, I have Team Bamf on mine right now because it included the kernel. I am getting ready to put clean rom on it with the new main ver but I would like to put the new radio's on it first.
Can I put the new radio's on it without going through the steps above (flash stock, re lock, ruu, ota update, unlock, flash, etc) and if so how?
Thanks!
Figured it out. Gonna make a post.

Right now I'm on Vigor Stock Rooted WWE 1.02.605.6 Deodexed . That's my mistake, right? I've got all the bloat.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
It's possible the deodexed part of it is the problem.
Do you have a nandroid made from right after you flashed Amon Ra recovery? Also, did you flash a stock recovery or do you still have Amon Ra? It won't work unless you have stock recovery.
If you don't have a nand, you can either run RUU (if you don't have the updated mainver issue) or have a look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467329
con247 has made a stock ROM with the OTA in it so you don't have to download the update.
There aren't any instructions on what to do with the file you download and I didn't use his method so I can't really help but hopefully you'll get it. I don't remember it being spelled out in the thread anywhere which is why I decided it was just as easy for me to use my nand and flash a stock kernel and recovery and download it myself.
I had stock recovery and kernel at the time I ran the update. I've since went back to amon and I've downloaded vigor ota stock rooted and I was about to try that.
Oh and...I'm pretty sure my earliest back up was not my original, I think I made the mistake of flashing a Rom before my first backup
I do however really wish I had some instructions for the vigorotastockrooted.
& one last thing.. Ive never had mainver update.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Yeah, I wish there were instructions for that stock + OTA too.
The OTA will update your mainver but to the official release that is in the OTA. Just so you know, I can now not flash the dbs kernel I was using before because I'm getting a "mainver is older" message.
I was trying to reflash kernels because my wifi is not working now, when I select "turn on wifi" that changes to "error". I had restored my nand of the Innedfabilis ROM I made right before reverting to stock and updating with the OTA. Just mentioning it since I'm posting here to try to help you and I guess it's just full disclosure.
Hmm. I'm thinking of sticking pre-ota as well, at least until I feel more confident about it. Thanks
Edit.... I ended up using con's vigorOta and xtreme tools (for simpler lock/relock) to update . Thanks for the help/insight!

Hello everybody. I recently flashed my phone with the latest Cyanogenmod rom for the HTC one, using the wHil recovery flasher. However after playing with the rom for a bit I decided I want to swap back to stock everything that came with my phone. What is the process to go about doing this?
Thanks!
Did you make a nandroid before flashing the Rom, if yes then just flash it then flash stock tmobile recovery img then relock the bootloader..just do a quick search and you find out how to do it... But it will still say tampered on bootloader... But ota will work cause that only requires stock recovery and stock Rom
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I did not, however I downloaded someone else's stock nandriod dump.
So all I need to do is flash the stock rom, flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and I should be able to get OTA updates and all that good stuff again?

Yes, that's what I did, and OTA updates work perfert
That's great to hear. So I shouldn't experience any issues when I return to the stock rom like loosing any kind of features and such?
I've been having issues trying to adb push this backup to my phone since 4.2 andriod has things locked down in regards to backups. Been getting the device not found issue, so I'm going to try and push it using a different PC soon hopefully. With where I work I can't live without WiFi calling/texting that Cyanogenmod lacks
So I have the stock backup through clockwork mod and I have it in the proper /clockworkmod/backup folder. Problem is, clockwork mod touch isn't detecting that I have any backups to restore. So I decided to make a fresh backup just to see where it was placed so I could put this other backup I downloaded in there.
Problem. I can't find it anywhere. I don't know where to put it. I don't know where clockworkmod touch wants it to go. Any ideas?
EDIT: Apparently there are two of these folders? *looking more*
EDIT 2: Clearly, If I try to restore from the saved backups, it shows the backup I made, but no amount of searching is finding it through any of my file managers. I'm finding the backup I downloaded, but not the one I made. wtf? Are there hidden folders or something? I have root access.
EDIT 3: There are apparently two clockwork mod folders on my phone. Clockwork mod is saying that it sees the test backup I made on 6-10, but when I check in my file manager for a backup, it shows me the folder with a 4-26 backup which is what I want to restore. The FILE MANAGER sees a folder with 4-26, whereas clockworkmod sees a folder with a backup of 6-10. Both folders are apparently clockworkmod/backup. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
So I just flashed the stock rom, reinstalled the stock rescue image, and relocked my bootloader.
How long does it take for me to be able to get the 4.2 update?

Unless you are S-Off (not just HTC Dev unlocked) then you will need to fastboot flash the boot.img in fastboot mode as well. Any of those roms should work fine if installed correctly. Just make sure that you have the appropriate firmware installed as well to make sure that the touch and other functions work properly. This means if you're original stock system was 4.2.2 and you are installing a 4.3 or 4.4.2 rom (at least Sense based) then you will need to install the firmware package as well for that update. How you install that depends on S-Off or HTC Dev unlocked, I believe.

Weird that that one isn't working, but just shoot for a regular Sprint based custom rom like Bad Boyz and you should be fine. What was your previous firmware/OS before you wiped it? Which baseband are you using? Which version of the rom are you trying to use now? What recovery are you using? What happens when you try to make a call or text - error code or message? But either way, if you load a regular or custom Sprint based rom and update your PRL and Profile, then you should be fine to switch back to another rom, if wanted. This is why it's always good to both make a nandroid, and to save it in a save space, if needed, for times like this.

You are correct about adb pushing the zip to internal, flashing, then fastboot flashing the boot.img to finish. I can't make a suggestion of which rom to use without knowing what you were using before though so everything will match up and work properly (firmware, baseband, OS, etc).

Might need to do another factory reset. But I've already said repeatedly that it is important to know what the original firmware / software was on the phone before it started having issues and its because of troubleshooting issues like this as well as it is just important on most HTC phones to have these things matching properly between the firmware and OS as well as the radio.

Then it is recommended to run the newest RUU to make sure your partitions, OS, radio, and firmware are all properly matched. Once that happens, you can just fastboot flash a recovery back and then redo whatever 4.4 rom you want at that stage. Yea, it sucks to have to do the extra steps, but some things you just have to do to make sure everything works properly. It never pays to cut corners when you need your phone to function correctly.

Some news sites are saying AT&T will push it mid August.
In preparation, I've already returned to the stock 4.4.2 ROM and have flashed stock recovery. I'm still rooted, however. Will I still get the OTA update when it is released?

You should get it. But if any system files are changed by root, the OTA will not install. Otherwise, you should be good to go.
BTW, the Dev Edition 4.4.3 ROM is already posted in Development.

What ROM were you running and how did you get back to stock? I'm stuck on ARHD 10.1 and can't get back to stock

He probably made a nandroid backup of his stock rom so that he could always go back to stock in cases like this.
You could technically use someone else stock nandroid as well just as long as all the numbers match up. I believe there was a thread here on that.

Make sure you restore all the bloatware as well or it won't update. I found this out with the last update. I would hold off on the update until you know it's safe to proceed without losing root unless you want to confirm it first for us. [emoji16]

What do you mean when you say you "can't get back to stock". What did you try and what was the result?
You can just flash a stock rooted ROM, a stock nandroid (as previously suggested) or run the 1.58 RUU.

I got this nandroid (1.12.502.18 - TWRP 2.6.3.3 Thanks to Wonders_Never_Cease) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 and tried to restore, it ends abruptly leaving wifi and boot screen broken. Phone still boots in ARHD 10.1 but doesn' work perfectly. I put the folder from rar file under TWRP Backup folder and it picked up fine but won't restore. Maybe because I have TWRP 2.7.1.0?
I just picked up the phone and it is S-ON with bootloader unlocked/tempered. I'm trying to get back to stock till we have RUU to convert it to DE eventually like the M7.
I was not able to download the RUU EXE file since it keeps ending abruptly like others suggested. I also tried the HBOOT no PC required version of RUU but it would end abruptly at parsing. Maybe because I'm S-ON? I checked the MID and CID, they are both AT&T stock.
Try flashing a stock rooted ROM from my Index (under CUSTOM ROMs): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

I know lots of folks have been having this problem. One guy was going to post a mirror of the RUU, so you might see if he got around to that.
But honestly, the OTA isn't rolling out yet, so why bother at this point? I would just reflash Viper and get your phone fully working again and worry about the OTA later.
And why bother with the OTA at all, or wait for it to roll out? There are already 4.4.3 custom ROMs available. And there is also an AT&T version specific ROM based on the 4.4.4 Dev Edition RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
The AT&T "official" OTA will probably have little if anything different from the DE ROM, aside from all of AT&T's crappy bloatware apps.

Thanks for the links and everything man but the whole reason I'm trying to go back to completely stock is that I feel there is something wrong with my phone or maybe this is normal for M8. When I flash ARHD 10.1 and click on finish installation, screen gets back to TWRP but then it goes dark for around 2 minutes. I thought it was dead but it finally lit back up and let me restart the phone. Tap on restart and it took a minute. First boot took well over 5 minutes. Been working fine since but I'm not sure why it sometime just sits there with screen off and pimps on it's own. I may try the full AT&T 4.4.3 ROM since it's very close to stock. If I update firmware, can I not go back to stock nandroid? Which I can't anyways but just wondering.

So after the ROM fully installs (progress bar fills up) and you click "Finish" in AROMA, the screen goes blank for 2 minutes? I haven't seen that. But it might be a ARDH anomaly (I've never flashed it).

Totally normal on the first boot after any ROM flash.

I would highly recommend updating firmware if anything is acting buggy on a 2.22 base ROM.
You should be able to restore a nandroid fine with updated firmware. Only thing, is if the nandroid was based on a 1.XX ROM and doesn't play well with the new firmware, you may need to downgrade the firmware.
But honestly, things tend to be always moving forward firmware-wise. It won't be long until all custom ROMs are based on 2.XX, and the 1.XX base wil become obsolete; with most folks being on the newer firmware and few (if any) reasons to go back or be on old firmware.

Yes, once the rom is installed, it exits out to TWRP, I get a flash of TWRP screen and then it goes dark. I press power button and wait for 2 minutes for it to come back on. I'm tempted to just convert it to Dev Edition but with all the issues people are having with phones these days, I want to make sure I can get it fixed under warranty or something if hardware craps out.
I am not even able to restore the nandroid for AT&T at this point. TWRP starts restoring nandroid and then goes back to TWRP main screen and the ARHD rom becomes very buggy (wifi won't turn on, gets super slow, developer warning on boot screen goes away, etc.)
I will try to update the firmware and try to get on that AT&T Rom bandwagon to see how it goes. Thanks for all your help and input. I wish it wasn't so complicated with M8. M7 was so easy to mess with or maybe I got used to that lol

After a aborted TWRP restore, I'm actually surprised to see the formerly installed ROM (I think that is what you are saying) to boot at all. Wipe and reflash ARHD.
Broken WiFi is a known issue with the 2.22 based ROMs + outdated firmware. Not sure about the other issues, but updating the firmware and reflashing ARHD might do the trick.

That's odd. Did this only happen once, or can your reproduce this bug? Any mention of this on the ARHD thread?
You might also try to wipe cache and re-install TWRP. Could just be a bad TWRP install.

FYI, as long as you are a current account holder, AT&T doesn't give a darn what you change in software, they will still honor the warranty if there is a hardware issue.

Thanks for the information on hardware warranty. I hope it never comes to that.
I actually installed ARHD twice or 3 times last night since every attempt to go back to AT&T stock failed and I had a half working jacked up device. I went in TWRP, re-installed ARHD and everything was good to go. Every time I installed the ROM, I had to wait a couple minutes to hit reboot after ROM installation since TWRP would take a nap. I'm not too worried about it since everything seems to be working fine but it's still kinda bothersome, you know?
At this point in time, everything is running well on ARHD 10.1 so I guess I will take a chill pill.
Thanks once again for all your help

Just an FYI- the black screen is a common problem with aroma installers and is well known.. All the other issues? I haven't a clue.
Hello!
I'm using 2.22 WWE version stock rom with 4.4.3, but I have long boots of device with old AT&T firmware.
Is there any way to update firmware?
I'm s-on, and firewater doesn't works.

OP here.
The black screen you're getting is due to TWRP timing out. You can turn that off in the settings. This is a non-issue though and nothing to worry about.
The long boot times, however, is a problem. This is happening because you're on the old AT&T firmware. Unfortunately, there's no way to flash the latest firmware without S-OFF. Your only option is to return to stock and wait for the official 4.4.3 OTA. Flash a nandroid backup (I'll send you a link to the one I used later, or just search around for the master list here.) through TWRP and then flash stock recovery through fastboot. Let me know if you need detailed instructions on how to do this.
Thanks guys for all the help and support. I messed with the phone quite a bit and tried quite a few things and all the posts here help me learn a lot too. I was able to go all stock after s-off using that RUU method. I tried a couple other roms and finally back to dev edition stock for now. Was able to convert completely to stock with all the info and so far so good.
Once again, thanks a bunch everyone

I had to do the same thing but given that what a pain it is without s-off, I'm not complaining. $25 is a small fee to pay for the peace of mind that you ha e almost full control of the device now.
