Hello,
After I download the OTA, it boots into recovery and the install fails. What do I need to do to successfully receive/install the update? I am currently running stock, rooted and am unlocked with amonra recovery.
Do I need to relock?
Do I need to flash to stock recovery?
Do I need to unroot?
Anything else?
Thanks.
You need to have the stock recovery for it to take or you could relock and run the ruu for the update.

Hi I've been doin a lot of reading of this forum. My main question is can I install a no sense hc Rom from just performing an HTC unlock or do I need to downgrade to gb anyway in which case I may aswel go s off while I'm at it.
I'm running hc official ota
There is no true no sense rom available as of yet
ok but if i just used the htc unlock could i then easily flash the new virtuous rom which has just started been developed?
Problem is i cant find the correct ruu to downgrade my device, its a uk 16gb wifi . I thought id found it but the site wont let me download.
You should be able to flash clockwork, then a custom ROM through fastboot without downgrade and root.
Haven't done it myself, but that is my understanding of how the unlocked bootloader works versus real S-Off.
I managed to do this hardware unlock and now have an unlocked bootloader. Tried. To flash cwm and corrupted the recovery. How do you install CWM through fastboot?

You have get CWM recovery, go into fastboot, connect USB, and then install via command prompt.
If you are unaware of how to do this try installing recovery via Rom Manager. Might be your easier solution.
Thanks for the reply, I actually downloaded cwm from a post in the dev section. Flashed it through command line with fastboot and now when I boot from recovery the device is stuck on a white HTC screen.
Also tried to use Rom manager but the device has to be rooted first. Can you root it through fastboot without cwm? Can I get a download link for a working cwm?

Maybe the downloaded file corrupted?

1. Does relocking the boot loader via fastboot wipe user data?
2. Are HTC OTA Updates via Handset working in an unlocked bootloader state?
Thank you!

1) No. but if you have a custom rom or recovery, device will not boot.
2) No!! People have bricked devices in the past trying to OTA with an unlocked bootloader.

What exactly are the steps to get OTA updates again? I now have it unlocked and rooted (therefore different boot.img as far as I know?).
Steps back:
1) Relock bootloader
2) Push original boot.img via adb
3) install original RUU
Is that correct?
Thanks!
Your ok just relocking bootloader, then flashing a stock ruu from fastboot. It will overwrite custom kernel.

After you unlock your bootloader with casual. Do you need to flash a ROM or are you left with a rooted unlocked stock phone?
The instructional video ends at recovery. If I reboot from there will i go back to what i was running before?
Reboot you will have rooted stock rom with twrp installed.
I was trying to unroot my HTC One by relocking the bootloader then through SuperSU, However, I don't have TWRP anymore and I don't want to unlock the bootloader again with some form of recovery. (I have S-On)
Any suggestions to get recovery back?

So you unrooted it with a custom recovery and then relocked your boot loader? Or did you just have root. Are you trying to reroot?

the only way to install recovery is by unlocking the bootloader, no way around it

So when I unlock the bootloader again, I would have to flash TWRP/CWM, then flash a ROM in order to get an OS back?
That's it

I want to update my cyanogenmod to lollipop, but the boot-loader isn't supported, so my understanding is that I need to flash to stock, get the ota to update the boot-loader, then I can flash to cyanogenmod. When I try to boot into the stock rom images I have downloaded, I get a red triangle. What am I doing wrong? I am s-on.

Red triangle is stock recovery. Did you only flash the stock recovery? You need to flash the stock ROM/nandroid and a stock recovery to prepare your phone for an OTA.
But also note, that unless you are really set on keeping your user data, its much easier to just RUU up to Lollipop, as opposed to the method you are doing; which involves finding the right stock ROM, correct stock recovery, then OTA (possibly more than one) installs to get up to Lollipop.
The only downsides to RUU, is that the phone will be wiped (so before RUU, backup anything you want to keep off phone: to the cloud, PC, removable SD, etc.), and if s-on you will need to relock the bootloader to RUU (than unlock bootloader again in order to flash TWRP and custom ROMs).
