I downloaded the over the air update for htc evo 3d and when I try to install it my phone restarts and the htc screen shows then it restarts again like normal. Since things I should mention is that I unlocked the bootloader and had the phone flashed to Verizon. I hope that this didn't have any effect on the update process. Does anybody know a way to apply the update using the computer? I copied the update data to my computer( it's in rar file format).

You cannot upgrade to an official ota with an unlocked bootloader.
Aw Damn! That sucks. Well now I see on room manner a android 4.0 Rom and I just downloaded it. I want to back up my current sense 3.0 and install Tom but can't find a way to install it. Know a way to get recovery my friend?

Not really sure what you just said, but if you want to install a rom, there are TONS of guides on here. Boot into recovery, make nandroid backup, wipe everything, and install (flash) zip.

Well if you are rooted you already should have a custom recovery. If not, you can find the thread for the recovery you want and follow the instructions.
Sorry, dumb auto correction. I will see if I can find another way to install recovery on my phone then. Thanks.

I can't update my Sprint CDMA Evo 3d. I have flashed it to another carrier but i don't thnk ths is the problem. After i go to settings and check HTC Updates it says i have an update available to ICS. The phone downloads(305 MB) update and after that it reboots to Recovery like it was installing the Update but then restart to RO normally and just make a Factory Reset.
I was HTC Dev Unlocked Hboot 1.50 S-ON, so i relocked the Bootloader to run the Full 2.17.651.5 RUU so i'm 100% stock. Any way to install it?

Do you have a custom recovery installed?
I heard you need to be running the stock recovery to be able to use an OTA update.
hope this helps
Nope. The RUU reverts the phone to 100% Stock(Recovery, Radio, FW, etc).

Hi,
I rooted my Evo 3D successfully and have TWRP Recovery. Now when I want to install a new update it takes me to recovery and says "Installation aborted" so I just want to remove TWRP and get the original recovery because I don't like this TWRP and it won't let me install the update. So to sum this up, How do you remove TWRP Recovery and reset it back to the original recovery.
Thanks.

Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
well, it is a ota update and it keeps annoying me so i thought maybe if i remove twrp, update, then it would be gone.
Try this go into settings/system update/htc software update and uncheck it to see if that helps.

thanks for the help and what is new in the new ota update? i want to stay up to date on my phone and if i ever thought of updating, what should i do and can you show me how to remove TWRP without deleting anything on the phone? like i want to reset the recovery back to the original.
Well there is no original recovery for the Evo3d. That's why you have to load one on the phone to gain the ability to make nandroids,flash custom roms,tweaks,kernels etc. Once you unlock your device "via" revolutionary, htc unlock etc you have a choice between recoveries like twrp,cwm etc. Removing twrp would take away your abilities I mentioned above unless you load a different recovery. To remove twrp you have to run an ruu. Then you will be unrooted with no recovery. So basically there's no point in being rooted if you have no recovery. Also as far as updating and staying current just search the development section pick a rom and read what it include in the channel log. There are more than enough roms out that have all of the latest updates already include. If you choose a sense rom or your rom is based off of sense/stock you can just go into setting/software updates/ and update profile and prl. As far as the radio update is concerned you could update that as we'll from the same place in settings but you would have to take an ota I believe and that would result in loosing root so of course you would have to reroot again. There is a thread with all of the latest Evo3d radios in the development section that allows you to dl different radios and flash them but I would strongly suggest you read and read more before you attempt to flash a radio update or radio downgrade its the one true time were you could brick your device. But nevertheless it can be done with the right knowledge and xda just so happens to have an endless supply.
Hope this helps.

Seems your question was never correctly and directly answered.
Short answer: To switch recovery's loaded on the EVO 3D, simple, flash another recovery.img file. My application, Flash Image GUI, makes this very simple. Also, the fastboot command is fairly simple, fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img.
Longer more technical answer: Recovery partition is large enough to basically hold a kernel plus some extras. The kernel will contain busybox, some other needed tools and a small recovery binary which displays the menus and executes the commands.
If you want to load the stock recovery, it can be found inside of the RUU files named as recovery.img.
Keep in mind, loading the stock recovery will ONLY allow HTC signed .zip files to be flashed, which no developer will be able to produce and will NOT allow adb to run, thus preventing root shell access. Essentially, the stock recovery will lock down recovery mode.
Hope that helps!

FYI its not needed in most cases. You can run an ruu or flash a fastboot zip.also you don't need it to install the 2.17 update there are aio's with and without hboots. I have a copy of the "stock recovery" cdma as well and have never needed it to update anything.

I havent said just a 2.17 update..........OTA is the keyword here.
The OP wants to know why he is unable to install the update which is coming to his phone Over-the-Air by HTC/carrier , for which he will need stock recovery IMO.
Read the 7th post of the thread. The op asked if he wanted to update in the future what can he do. The ota issue was solved if you read the thread it was just an update notice that was bothering him. Also you dont need the stock recovery to take ota updates you can just run an ruu.

How do you update a rooted evo 3d with hboot 1.5 i am currently on 2.08.651.3 and want to update to 2.17.651.5 so i could flash MeanROM v0.6 or viperrom
you need to learn to search...
couple ways
1) factory OEM lock the phone, unroot, take the ota, unlock again, then re-root.
2) easier way....flash the stock HTC recovery, then take the ota, then flash custom recovery back on. Or at least that is how I understand it, though I haven't done it myself.
Good luck.

so i have to go back to stock and update
Why dont you just flash the new rom? If it's based off of the latest update, then that's what you will get on your phone. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think you need to unroot, flash back to stock rom, Update to 2.17 and then root again just to install a rom based on 2.17.
the only reason to do it would be for the radio. and for me at least it was all buggy using the new rom with old radio.
Ive read on some post that people update and they bricked there phones
Ok one last time then i will shut up
I have gotten much info and help about the 2.17 update but i am still not sure of myself

Since you are s-on just lock your bootloader If you are unlocked , and use the latest 2.17 RUU.exe....then unlock again...and root it.
the reason i gave a list of thiungs to do is bc i dont have my hands on your phone... you stated you have s-on... you should if you have 1.5 bc you cant turn that off... above that though your phone should say *unlocked* you need to set it back to say *relocked*
and you mus also make sure the recovery you have is the factory one... if you have twrp or clockmod for a recovery you will end up erroring out when the phone reboots and tries to install it... and if that happens youll end up having to flash the rest to get it to boot again

This has them all, but These are STOCK roms without root, they do not contain super user or busybox or anything, so you will lose root, you shouldn't have to re-lock to update though... it should just let you update it, this is going to wipe out whatever your current rom is.
You probably want something more like an already rooted rom though...
Thanks! So can you link me to a stock rooted rom i can flash....and after i flash it i can just update?

id use the one thats 2.08.651.3 .... have to take into account that the most recent one that *I* have for the evo 3d through sprint is version 2.17.651.5
Hey guys I have an Htc evo 3d with 1.5 hboot unlock with htc dev tool.. at the time it was unlock I was able to install willshooter [2.08.651.3] rom htc sense 3.0. now that I am ready to sell the device I want to restore it back to stock ICS.
the issues that I have is that I am unable to go into recovery, I try using Rom Manager to get a recovery to install but it wont stick, and it wont let me go into recovery.
I already try using updating my bootloader, it wont take it aswell.. and I also try using the OTA option where you go into the setting and try to update it I have a clean 16gb sdcard in case its a memory issue and the cellphone is not connected. I am using wifi to try to update it.
I would appreciate if anyone been on this situation before and would lend a hand.. if more information is needed please ask, because I need to restore this device..
Thanks.
Unless I missed something, you should be able to lock the bootloader and then run an ruu.exe to get back to stock.

That should work. Your bootloader will say "*** RELOCKED ***" but other than that everything should be stock.
You can download the most current Sprint ICS RUU.exe (2.89.651.2) here.
BTW, ROM Manager doesn't work well on the Evo 3D so you might have better luck downloading the 4EXT Recovery app and usiing that to flash and boot into recovery. There are free downloads available on the www.4ext.net website.

I've got an HTC Rezound, rooted with TWRP recovery. I keep getting pestered with OTA update "ADR6425LVW_3.14.605.13-3.14.605.12", some posts say this has to do with the FCC / HTC settlement that requires HTC to patch security holes.
So - I'm not exactly sure what my options are.
1) Can I just update past the OTA notification version from TWRP so I both have the updates, and I'm no longer bothered?
2) Is this update recommended, and can it be rerooted afterward?
3) How do I take it? The closest question I could find is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165791 for a Sprint Note 2, and it mentions an "ma7 rom", is there some equivalent for the Rezound? What are the steps that I would do to allow the update, or can I install it from TWRP / ADB?

If you are rooted on a recovery provided here, then the update will not load. Accept it and delete it or deny it. Does not matter. Pushes from OEM will not take on custom recovery.

I cannot reject it, it has been speculated that this is because of the FCC/HTC settlement. I can defer it for up to 5 days, then it keeps rebooting into TWRP, failing, and waiting, until I defer it again.
What would you recommend I do?
1) Install CM10.1
2) Install the 4.03.605.2 Leak
3) Return to stock recovery somehow and take the update?
4) ???

If you want the update then relocate and run the RUU for your stock rom. If you run the global RUU (aka the .2) then you will be stuck on that. Can't downgrade to a lower number without s-off. I'm sure the original (.12) stock RUU is on here somewhere. Once you run that, you will be able to take the update. Then unlock again and reroot. I use Amon ra so can't comment about twrp

Hi, this is actually my first post on here, so I have the same thing going on with my phone, and im not worried about updating it, for all im concerned it can stay the same b/c if it aint broke dont fix it. So I dont want the update. Someone had mentioned an OTA Blocker can you post what its called, i couldnt find it.
Or if theres a way to just turn off the firmware updates, cuz this one only defers for a few days. Just want it to stop bugging me!

Factory Data Reset?
My Rezound is rooted with stock ROM, and now back to stock recovery (had CWM Recovery before). I flashed the stock recovery back on, in attempt to receive the new OTA Update. Of course it failed, probably due to removing some bloat ware and some other minor changes to the ROM.
So many have said to download the stock RUU from http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor, to get everything back to stock "like new condition".
But can't I just do a "factory data reset" option in the Storage settings, to achieve this, and then maybe unrooting (if needed)?
I wouldnt do reset from in the ROM if your going to reset. why don't you just flash the ruu and take the ota? it will break root for you btw
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Thanks for your reply. I'll go ahead and run the RUU. I was just curious if the factory reset would have worked. But in your opinion what would happen if I select the factory data reset option?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I honestly have no clue. But if your going to reset than just flash an ruu to be on the safe side and save time/anymore problems or trouble shooting. All and all just quicker and less possibal problems to deal with but that's my opinion but if you wanna do what you want than go ahead, I'm just adding in my 2 cents.

To receive the OTA update the phone needs to be 100% stock. ie locked hboot, s-on with stock recovery. you will also need to be on the non leaked global RUU firmware.
as far as we can tell, the update brought nothing new to the table, if it had it would be all over the rezound forums. if your phone is working fine and set up the way you like it, you should have no need to do the OTA. But if you would like to do it anyways, by all means go ahead. if you need help feel free to PM me or reply to this thread and i will be willing to help.
There's newer radios and I read a few small things but nothing new. Just improvements

Thank you so much guys for your input. I won't bother updating then. If it its not broke why fix it right.
I'll figure out how to suppress the persistant OTA.

OTA
Reading this:
droidforums.net/forum/htc-rezound-general-discussions/240389-weird-rezound-behavior.html#post2406637
has me worried about the update.
But I have a rooted Rezound on 4.0.3 and clockwork recovery. If I let it update, will it ruin root? Or will it just "not update" as other have said?
I can't get the phone to stop asking to update!
The update breaks root. But you can just re root it. If you can just hold off on updating and look into s-off because a dev named snuzzo posted in one of these ota threads about ripping out the new radios from the ota and making a patch with them. But you have to be s-off to use the patch and I don't know when he's releasing it but it seems to be almost finished but I could be wrong.

My homescreen is hijacked. I cannot get it to use any home launcher except the default. If I download the update it seems to let me use another launcher, but then it will keep nagging to install. So I nandroided back to before downloading the update.
I'm worried that if I disable the notifications now, I'll never get my other homescreen back!
Should I download the update and THEN disable the notifications?
