(Solved) RUUing steps for ota upgrade - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I don't have home Internet and can't do YouTube at work... where I do any/all modding.
So I am htcdev unlocked and rooted.. what steps do I need to do before running ruu? Thanks.
If this helps you thank second poster too.
Update:
at BL screen I entered fastboot mode and typed "fastboot oem lock" no quotes in my cmd prompt
it locked and rebooted to BL
made sure I was in fastboot mode and double clicked my RUU which was the same as in my about phone in settings.
then waited until finish and rebooted.
downloaded the OTA update and installed.
I and my phone asre safe and sound.

First you need to relock your bootloader. Then from within the bootloader screen, select fastboot mode, plug in your phone into your computer and run the RUU file corresponding to the version your phone has (presumably the latest). Let that badboy run and you should be completely stock again.

I assume the old "fastboot oem lock" is the only way to re lock. This is the one I was going to use as others say the one that is .2 is not for our phone

Ok, so I'm going to help a fellow XDA member, he got stuck on the bootloader menu with S-on and Locked. He can't seem to run the RUU from his computer, so we are going to try mine. So select fastboot, then run RUU? That easy? Hopefully things will go smooth then...

it seem you have some mods in /system or /webtop partition
Did you ever unlock your bootloader?
ATT right?

if you Answer are NO
and YES
this is the way to do it follow this link and you need a PC and your phone attached to it by USB:
"http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/motosupport/source/SoftwareUpdateSummary.asp?country=USA&language=ENS&web_page_name=SUPPORT&strCarrierId=ATT&strPhone=Motorola%20ATRIX%28TM%29%204G&strCable=Micro%20USB%20Data%20Cable&strURL=https://rsddownload.motorola.com/download/SoftwareUpdateforATTATRIX4Gversion.4.5.91.pdf"
I believe i just rooted it with gingerbreak but then i followed this tutorial: http://atrix4ghacks.com/atrix-4g-hacks/how-to-enable-webtop-without-laptopusb-dock/
it edited my webtop stuff so how do i fix it so i can update
lol don't panic! (....I have a towel =D)
You just entered the recovery menu. To see the error message, you need to un-hide it by touching the screen on the bottom right corner (right above the search button). This will show you what error you encountered.
If you're OTAing up, then you probably had Titanium or something that removed bloatware or modded the system with a theme or custom files. If that's the case, any OTA will fail because you will not have passed the pre-install check. You have three options:
1.) Go here and get the Automated Upgrade for PC Users. That will allow you to upgrade and bypass the test, while also keeping your data. This doesn't require any mods or unlocked bootloaders. (BE WARNED THAT IF YOU USE THIS, YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL BE BLOWN. DON'T DOWNGRADE WITH SBFs AND STICK TO EATING YOUR FRUITCAKE! However, Radio and Bootloader SBFs are still considered safe. As any wise man would do, proceed with caution.)
OR
2.) Unlock your bootloader, install CWM from Tenfar, and then get KP's 2.3.4 ROM Beta 4 and put it in your SD card. Boot up CWM and install it. That easy. =] (BE WARNED SOME PEOPLE BRICKED THIS WAY.)
ORRRRRR
3.) Using the fastboot from Motorola and unlocking your bootloader, just flash the images here. (Currently the best method and seems to produce the best results, but if you don't know how to do it, then don't do it.)
If you need instructions on how to do any of the above, use this noob bible. And lastly, if you want to root, use the preinstall method (also in bible.)
Happy upgrading!
~jojojohnson7410~
I had the same problem and also had only used gingerbreak and webtop mod. I tried using pc update software but it thought I was on orange france (mine is AT&T) so I didn't proceed. Decided to flash the gingerbread plus pudding sbf in pudding thread, worked perfect and kept all data, you don't need to unlock bootloader before updating
Same problem
I'm having the exact same problem.
Except my bootloader is unlocked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Rooting help

I really need help!! I got this phone for free to replace htc tbolt. I managed to unlock it, but having issues pushing recovery to phone with adb. Adb does recognize my phone. Even tried with a PB98IMG.zip on hboot, but I get failed older. Maybe my path for adb are not right. I've been trying since Saturday with no luck. If I can install a custom recovery, then proceed to rooting and getting s-off. This is my software version.

So you have unlocked the bootloader through HTCdev.com correct?
And are you using the Rezound All-In-One Toolkit? Hasoon recently updated to 3.0. If It keep failing, try using the previous version (I believe I did it with V2.1)

PH98IMG.zip not PB
edit: didn't read you have a mainver problem then.. try edit2: eh you don't have recovery yet either.
if you got it to unlock you should be able to flash a recovery from fastboot ...
get http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23781936&postcount=428 the img from there and
then navigate to fastboot like how you unlocked and
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img"
here is a mainver fix for when you have recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4 in case you need it later
keep us updated I just now saw your pm... maybe we all can help you out
I finally figured out to finally root and install recovery. The other question is how do I return it back to stock ICS with s-on? I have to return it back do to poor bluetooth sound quality. People are telling me that it is very scratchy and can't understand me. I even tried a wired head set and sounds like I'm in cave. I was having trouble rooting do to that I was not creating a right path to adb to flash recovery. I installed twrp. To bad I have to return it back. At least I learned a little about adb. My gnex is way easier to root. This guys.

Does anybody have the stock ICS kernel that is flashable through recovery. Just in case I want to revert back to stock rom. I'm planning on using htcdumlock.

you can't fastboot system images on this device....it's also impossible to brick. I'll see if i can find my 4.2.2 RUU that i had, doubt it though.

alright i learned now i needed to fast boot flash a boot.img im trying that, i flashed that so far, trying to sideload the other file. damn things drivers always crashing and causing me problems. does anybody else have this many problems with these drivers?
Edit. Finily got it booted with a ROM. Got viper without sense its pretty nice a and much lighter without sense probably so I think its a fair compromise for not having a cm based ROM for at&t version. Gf not as happy with it but at least now I won't have to hear her ***** as much about a glichy phone. I hope

[Q] HTC One M8 rooted stuck on endless loop after downloading Multirom

My phone is an HTC One M8 running Android Revolution HD and TWRP Recovery. I recently downloaded Multirom thinking that I could hold multiple roms just by downloading the app. The app told me to reboot into Recovery mode to finish installation, and I rebooted into recovery. The only roms that were available to boot in was Internal so I just chose that. Turns out Internal will always get me stuck into the htcONE boot screen even after 1 day of waiting. If I try to go into bootloader mode and go into factory reset, it brings me back to the MultiROM menu everytime. I cannot even access the phone from the computer to edit the files. Please help, thanks!
@sangothemango
When you say when you try booting into bootloader do you mean your recovery as far as doing a factory reset?
Try power+volume-up till it goes dark and as soon as it goes dark just hold volume-down till the actual hboot/bootloader comes up.

If you can get the above example type of screen to come up than you can save your device. Hopefully your familiar with adb/fastboot cause that's what's going to fix it.
Unless you already have S-OFF ?
Yes I can get into that screen, but if I choose anything, it says going into recovery mode and then nothing happens.

Thanks for responding,
I tried relocking and using RUU, but the phone hangs at the black "HTC" logo screen and RUU sticks at 0/0.

Try to download the RUU again. Or try a different one (if you tried 1.58, try 2.23 RUU, or vice versa).
Or try the bootable RUU posted in General.
Also, confirm the bootloader is RELOCKED.

Thanks again for the help. The fix ended up to format an external microSD card to FAT and load up the latest bootable RUU. Fixed the corrupted partitions and good as new.

Nice! I know folks have luck with the bootable RUU, when the "official" exe RUU didn't work. Glad to see it worked.
