Or you can flash a stock recovery without relocking/flashing RUU and take the update if you are on stock ROM.
Why does everyone think you have to rearm your bootloader for updates?
Remember we have an unlocked bootloader which is signed by HTC you don't need to relock for anything, the signatures contained in it are valid
The only thing you have to make sure to receive the ota is to be fully stock, doesn't matter if rooted or not, and that you have stock recovery and all the bloatware that came with the phone, otherwise the update will fail.
Note : if your rooted you will loose root after the update.

IF you are 1.5 S-OFF then its business as usual. Flash the ROM from custom recovery like traditionally you would and you should be good.
Most of us have Hboot 1.5 S-ON, this method involves flashing the Kernel first (however you want to flash: fastboot or Flash GUI) and then flashing the ROM via custom recovery.
im sorry i mistyped, im s-on, and i do know how to flash roms i was wondering the proper steps to update to the newest firmware. i have read many instructions about it but im a moron and got confused along the way
again thanks
Where can i download a stock recovery image?

Extract the recovery.img file from a RUU/ROM.zip file.
And then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or rename it to PG86IMG.ZIP and run it like an ruu?
If that's the case, can you just run the last Sprint ruu then do update? Or will the ruu not overwrite recovery and kernel? Trying to figure this out to without messing up the phone. I am also running with 1.5 s-on.

Hi, I Have a friend with an EVO 3d but he wants to take ota from sprint. His phone is running a custom Rom installed and a custom kernel. So, how can he update to latest ota? All help is welcome. Thanks.

I would do it with RUU. My ota had issues not being able to unlock.

I forgot to mention He is on hboot 1.50 so he can't use the .zip from bootloader.
Since he's running a custom ROM, the way for him to upgrade to the latest 2.17 without going back to an unrooted base ROM would be to check to see if the ROM's author has updated to the new version, or going with a completely different ROM.
~co~
Edit: If he wants to go back to base, stock, unrooted, he could run the 2.17 RUU. That will flash as long as he relocks his device. If he wants to unlock his bootloader again, he can do so after he flashes the RUU.

Doesn't matter if he is back to stock. In fact that's What he want. Go to stock Rom on 2.17

If I understood only thing he needs to do is go to fastboot and type oem lock to lock the bootloader right? Then run the RUU for 2.17?
He'll run the command "fastboot oem lock." He will likely get a security warning because of the custom ROM on there. Go ahead and run the RUU now. Realize that this will wipe everything off the phone (not off the SDCard).

Does he need to run the RUU in normal mode, Bootloader, fastboot or when the security warning appears?

The security warning will show up inside the bootloader. (If I remember correctly) You'll have to run it when the phone is in the bootloader.

Thanks, iTzLOLtrain. Didn't check the stickies beforehand.
Ok, I'm really curious about this. I want to quickly know what ROMs can be flashed to a phone that is HTC Dev Unlocked and S-On.
Currently running MeanROM 1.91 (and HTC Dev Unlocked & S-On), but I would really like to run Cyanogenmod on it.
I understand you can flash the radio in an S-On phone, but it has to be done in recovery, vs doing it in the bootloader with an S-Off phone.

You can flash whatever ROM you want, as long as you have a custom recovery.
And you can flash radios through recovery as long as your HBOOT isn't the one from the latest OTA (1.15). In that case, you can't.
You can. just backup, and do a full wipe, and and flash.

I think the only thing you gain with s-off is the ability to update your firmware.

I got my phone a week ago (actually on the 13th), and as soon as I got it, I let it do the updated to 1.22.
I have TWRP 2.2 as my recovery. HBoot is 1.15. In that case, is there any ability at all to update the radio to something newer?

Well, currently there isn't a newer radio, but if there was, you'd have to relock and take whatever the new OTA would be to upgrade your firmware (including radio).
Radios cannot be flashed through recovery with the new 1.15 HBOOT, nor can splash screens or kernels.

So, to relock, I would have to follow one of the threads on unrooting and relocking the phone? You can't do that by just re-flashing the stock ROM (its how it worked with my LG Optimus S and Motorola Photon 4G)?
The point is, I want to run CM9 or 10 once it becomes stable for this phone (when camera, MMS, and everything else works)

Actually, you don't have to re-lock to take an OTA, if you're on stock. But being as though you want to run a custom ROM, you'd have to nandroid backup your current setup. Relock the bootloader ("fastboot oem lock"), and then flash the latest RUU, at which point you'd be updated to the latest firmware.

I'm sure there will be.
So, the process would be:
1.) relock the bootloader
2.) flash the latest RUU
3.) unlock the bootloader, and re-root
4.) flash to the latest CM9/10 port (and install the latest gapps)
I need to get back to the latest stock update for the rezound. I'm on the infection ROM right now and just need to get back to the latest rezound ota. Are there any ota ROMs w root out? I dont want to have to re root again but I wanna be back on the latest ota w/ just root. Also, will I need to lock my phone again to do this?
One last thing, how can I update to the latest firmware/ hboot/kernel/radio etc. Pretty much want to return to the latest ota leak for the rezound even if its not official and then I'd like to update my hboot,radio, kernel, etc to the latest out.

That will get you updated to the latest and back to stock.
Then you can unlock again, flash a recovery and reroot and remain on stock ROM with a custom recovery and rooted.

What hboot/radio level are you at now?
For a good Sense 3.6 rom, I'd suggest Ineffabilis Deus v1.2, gives you that stock feel with tweaks available.
You can run the global RUU from here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ You will need to re-lock if you are s-on.
You can run NilsP Business Sense 3.6 if you want a mostly stock ROM without bloat. I'd suggest restoring a nandroid from the OTA if you have it (I don't keep many nandroids, but that ICS OTA is the one I kept).
Here is the stock ICS OTA: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/ You will also have to be s-off or re-locked to flash this.

If you are s-off your phone should say "locked" and you can just run the RUU. Running that updates all the firmware, radios etc... and so you'll be on the latest stock and locked at that point. Run it twice and let it do its thing until it reboots so it gets all the system files.
Since you are s-off I don't think you will need to unlock again, check what the phone says in hboot as far as *tampered* *unlocked* *s-off* etc... you should confirm that with someone who is s-off.
(if you still have the unlock token you can use it again if you ever need to. Keep it handy so you'll always have it when you need it. I keep mine in the folder I use on my pc for fastboot.)
After you unlock you flash a custm recovery and root from within the recovery if you want to flash another ROM. Or use one of the tools, I've never used any of them.
I think you're good with this RUU for jb. It's the latest and I don't think anyone has anything later than that. I don't use a jb ROM so you may want to confirm that with someone who does.

You're s-off. Going s-off relocks the phone because s-off is better than unlocked. You can just flash the RUU.
I recommend against unlocking once you're s-off, because if you try to relock it yourself outside of the s-off process, it will say "relocked" instead of "locked. You can either flash a recovery through a PH98IMG.zip, or you can flash a hex edited hboot to allow extended fastboot commands.

OK so I just ruu and it will bring me back to stock. I then flash amonra 3.16 using the IMG.zip to get recovery on my phone.
(how do I flash the zip since recovery will not be on my phone yet? Do I just use the rezounds recovery to flash it?)
Then once amonra is installed I now root by installing su and superuser from the options in recovery.
Is that it, now I'm on the latest rezound stock w root? Am i still soff too, I don't need to do the wire trick to get soff again?
Oh and flashing that ruu will update me to the latest hboot and radio, correct?

If you just want to stay stock and rooted then just run the RUU, flash recovery and root. You should still be s-off and ready to flash a custom ROM if you end up choosing to.

As long as you have a flashable zip of AR 3.15 you're good. All you have to do is rename it PH98IMG.zip (make sure you don't name it .zip.zip) and flash in your bootloader. Here is a link for an already packaged recovery zip: http://www.teambamf.net/topic/3737-bootloader-update-recovery-files-amon-ra-315-and-cwm-touch/ No need to do the wire trick again.

Please let me know if you find out. I was wondering the same thing!
Let me try to help you guys.
What you guys need to do is to flash the original RUU for 1.27.531.11 from PC. Once you do that, you will be able to update OTA.
If you have unlocked bootloader and s-off, it will still carry over to the back to stock as well as OTA.
If you dont like it, just flash the older hboot and then recovery and another ROM.
I did it and works perfectly fine. Also no Root allow for Back to stock or OTA, you can do that later but not when trying to get update.
No custom recoveries, radio, boot, etc. Has to be stock ROM.
Ah, also please have sure the MID / CID is right before flashing to stock.

This is what I did. I was on a custom ROM, but -off, flashed 1.27 RUU, set basic settings up, then downloaded 4.3 update, still unlocked and -off. Painless.

The 1.27 RUU is stock ROM, bootloader, and recovery?
After upgrading did you re-flash a custom recovery and re-root?

Not yet. Gonna play with stock for awhile. I kind of like odexed and dont have a burning need to root. As for the "junk" in stock roms, there really isnt much, and what there is you can disable so not a big deal.

OK so just to clarify. I am currently on 1.27.531.11 rooted with a Unlocked S-off bootloader and TWRP recovery. All I need to do is, leave the bootloader unlocked and run the 1.27.531.11 RUU file. Once that is completed I can take the OTA to 4.3. Once this is complete will I still be S-Off and unlocked or S-off Locked? Then if I want to root (asuming bootloader is still unlocked) I would just need to flash the TWRP recovery and then flash SU, and I should then be updated to 4.3 rooted with a unlocked S-OFF bootloader. Is all of that correct? If not, please correct me before I attempt this. Thanks for any help.

Correct. You'll be s-off unlocked.
