I was wanting to unroot this EVO 3d. Just making sure that its ok to take an OTA update on HTC unlock method once the update comes through. I couldn't find anything regarding if its ok to proceed once released.

Crap wrong place please move to Q&A thought I hit that.

If you are wanting to root:
Rule #1 - Do not take OTA updates. Always let a Dev check it out and post it up on the Dev Forum before updating. More times than not, you will lose root and receive an updated HBoot.
Wanting to unroot. I used HTC method to unlock bootloader wondering if this will cause an issue technically receiving an OTA update will unroot and set to stock OTA firmware, radio, data, Wimax, and hboot also stuff I missed but what will happen to an unlocked bootloader through HTC methods.

Reading comprehension this morning is not up to par yet. Sorry.
You may have to re-lock it to get OTA updates, "fastboot oem lock"
I was thinking that since the boot loader was the only thing effected by the HTC method it may not read the signature correctly for the OTA. I know the RUU has to have a lock signature for the hboot to ID the update or maybe nothin will happen and it will update fine.

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'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

Thanks fellas
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
I just downloaded the new Telus update for my HTC one x+( 1.20.661.1). And I finished the update and tried installing it, it proceeded to to turn off my phone and then boot right into bootloader. It does this every time. I had my phone rooted and with an unlocked bootloader but it is now not rooted and it is re-locked. Please help.
You should never OTA update when you're rooted. You'll have to flash old RUU and repeat procedure to unlock and root. Do not update. Wait for xda devs to release flashable.

No root
I'm not even rooted.

Not now you're not. You said you were bootloader unlocked & rooted when you took the OTA. As the previous member said, NEVER take the OTA if you're rooted. Now you have to run the RUU & do everything over again
Sent from my HTC EVARE_UL using xda app-developers app
No, sorry that was badly worded. I was NOT rooted when I took the OTA. But I have been rooted in the past so I know not to take the OTA when rooted. I am not root and was not when I tried the update. Sorry my mistake
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.
