Hey guys, I know I'm probably in the wrong section, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere else. I flashed back to stock ROM so that I can accept the latest OTA (Since 4G LTE is now in my area and I want to update the radio) but when I go to install the OTA, it brings me to TWRP instead of the Stock Android Recovery. Could someone please point me in the right direction as to how to revert back to the Stock Recovery so that I can proceed with installing this OTA?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!!

You can update you radios without the ota if you can get s-off.

Yes, I know that, but I'm on HBoot 1.15, no S-Off, and who knows when that's coming.
Did you figure out what to do next? I've never had to mess with any of the unroot procedures, hopefully I won't have to anytime soon. (knock on wood)

I am at work right now, I am going to do it when I get home. My only other question is, can I do this without installing the latest RUU? Can I just flash the new recovery through USB Fastboot?
I have no idea, maybe someone else will join in here that can answer that.

The only way for you to get the latest firmware is to either run the RUU, or accept the OTA (which you would have to jump through some hoops to get the OTA to install correctly). You cannot flash a firmware zip through fastboot unless your are S-OFF, which you do not have. Just re-lock your bootloader, run the RUU, unlock your bootloader, then flash which ever custom ROM you want.
On a side note, please pm a mod and have them move your thread to a more appropriate place.

Title should read LEAKED, sorry. I need to stop drinking in the afternoon.
Droid Life has a story about the official ICS for the Rezound being leaked. Story here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/03/1...wich-build-leaked-now-available-for-download/
I didn't see any other posts about it, but I apologize if this is out there already.
someone fire up a torrent, i'll seed... when i finally get it...
so if i relock my bootloader (currently unlocked with 1.7.5 cleanrom) then flash. i could re-unlocked and if needed i could go back to gingerbread if i wanted to correct?
also just curious if i did put this on would the super user install within amon ra work with this?
thanks and sorry if this has been answered somewhere i cant post in dev section because im under 10 post.

Basically what we did when we got the OTA update for GB. But yes it should work that way.

thank you.
But I am trying it right now. I am flashing back to stock GB as we speak and going to test it.
So let me see if I understand (I read a few articles about this) I don't have to be rooted to flash this? What I'm wondering is if I do flash this without root and unlocked bootloader, how would I go about reverting back to Gingerbread if I wanted too?

In my observations you would be able to flash it fine without root. But in order to go back to GB you would need to unlock your hboot. You'll be able to unlock it after you flash.

im no expert by any means but if i had to guess you would have to unlock your bootloader then flash a custom recovery then modify your main ver of your phone like what this thread says http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526316
there is a easy flashable in recovery zip in i think post #4 of that fourm that might be easier than the tool in post #1 of the forum.
but you will probably want to wait for someone to answer who acually tested it or know for sure.

True. If he tried to go back to GB after flashing the ICS he would get the mainver error if he tried flashing a boot.img in hboot. If he used fastboot to flash the boot.img he would get no error.
So I'm running rooted stock with an unlocked bootloader at the moment. If I wanted to flash this, do I need to re-lock the bootloader?

No, need the source code released...
Also, this isn't the final build it appears, it's a release candidate.

Crap...got so amped
I hope this is in the right section on the forum.
I tried to apply the update on my Evo 4g Lte and it wont apply, I have cleared, downloaded again, and nothing. It goes to the bootloader, and nothing.
I thought I would try to do a factory reset, but when I go through the process of applying a factory reset, a HTC screen flashes and the phone goes back to the bootloader screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time
What update? The ota? Are you unlocked? Are you stock? Are you s-off? What are we doing here

Boot menu is locked, but phone is rooted, stock rom installed. It was the ota update that came out a few days ago.
Are you trying to install the ota from htc? Or a ROM that is based on the latest?

Sorry man, was driving home from work (12 hour shift...ugh). Let me ask you...do you have any intentions of ever making your phone s-off (soon or in the future)? Because that will dictate my advice/assistance

In order to flash other roms, the has to be off, correct and the boot loader has to be unlocked? In the future, I would like to be able to flash other roms.

You don't need to be S-Off In order to flash any ROMs. S-Off will help if you wanna apply a Modified Hboot, but being HTC Unlocked is just fine.

Hi...
i've rooted, HTC unlocked my Sprint Evo 4G LTE as well as flashed the MeanROM.
Will be safe for the OTA i will receive soon for 4G LTE from sprint if i use the "Original Stock" ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766628&highlight=original+stock
Or do i have to do the whole relocking the bootloader and using RUU, etc?
Thanks in advance !

So if i download that ROM that i linked to (Not the meanROM, the supposed stock ROM) and flashed it ... i still cannot accept any OTA updates?
I guess i just need an explanation as to why i can't receive OTAs on any ROM other than the official out of the box stock ROM. Is it the unlocked boot loader? Is is because it is rooted? Which ROMs will allow me to receive OTAs ?
If that is what's happening i would most definitely like to revert to stock as we have the new 4G LTE OTA update from Sprint coming soon here in, probably today, and i wont be around for my friend to flash his ROMs forever. It's starting to look like doing him a favor was a mistake. I should have only rooted it.
Any links, guides, or info about how to return his phone to stock as if right out of the box would be much appreciated. I made backups but i think he deleted them ...
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

You never want to accept an OTA. Ever. If you do you can no longer gain s-off and it will severely hinder what you can flash from recovery.
Just flash any of the Roms and radios based on the newest update and you are done.
Once more for clarity...
NEVER ACCEPT AN OTA.

Thank you for that explanation. Why else would the developers add firmware updates separately on their pages? I should have known.
My buddy did say that he accepted an OTA even tho i told him not to... he said it snuck up on him and wouldn't have known if he hadn't needed to use his phone at THAT moment.
Could this be why i cannot find the backup i created previously? Just wondering ... I can obviously flash and root etc but the "Devil is in to detail" and i don't have all the details yet.
Thanks again.
I could be way wrong here, but I don't believe you can accept the OTA with a custom recovery installed. I tried doing the OTA and it simply rebooted into TWRP. I tried installing it from there and it kept failing. So I think you do have to re-lock, RUU, then update, then reroot. That's the path I took.
Or do what everyone else is suggesting and flash what the devs made.

If the 3.15 RUU only updates you hboot only you can find the fix here
Don't run the JB RUU it is known to cause problems. Relock your phone and take the OTA. It is the safest way.

I got it to take the OTA update. I had to remove the custom recovery, lock the phone and install the stock RUU for the version I was on. Now I just need to get s-off and I'm good.
