Okay so I've never flashed an RUU to my device, only flashed custom ROMs based on the ICS leaks. My H-Boot still says 2.11 meaning I'm on gingerbread firmware (correct me if I'm wrong). Could I just wipe my device, re-lock the bootloader, and then flash the RUU? Btw I'm still S-on due to the reasoning Chad gave a little while ago. :silly: Thanks for any help in advance!

yes just relock your bootloader in fastboot, then put the ruu zip on your sd card and reboot to bootloader let it run it's process
make sure to rename the ruu as PH98.IMG

Hello! I'm running Scott's ROM ICS S-ON. I'm not looking to S-OFF unless absolutely necessary; I don't prefer messing up with a bricked phone.
I want to update to the official ICS OTA distributed by Verizon. I haven't found a post that has any information on how to do this with S-ON Relocked and a Relocked Bootloader.
In my bootloader, the information at the top is
Code:
***RELOCKED***
***SECURITY WARNING***
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.11.0000
RADIO-0.95.00.1118r/0.95.00.1223r
OpenDSP-v10.6.0.7611.00.0919
eMMC-boot

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Download the latest RUU. If you locked your bootloader after using htc dev, all you would have to do is flash the new global RUU as normal and unlock (If you want) the bootloader again.

Is the new RUU the one from the Android Police website? Yes, I unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev, and I just relocked "fastboot oem lock".
I have it rooted, so I guess now it can't boot, as it only boots into bootloader.

I downloaded the RUU from Nils Sense 4 thread. First page, third post.

Since your relocked, just place it on root sd as PH98IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader to flash.

Alright, I'll try that. If I come up with any errors (I'll be sure if it's one), I'll come back and talk of it.
...As soon as I'm about to type what was going wrong, it decided to fix itself SOMEHOW and continue.
...Well, so far, it has appeared to be working fine! Not sure if this will fix the blue screen problem, but all I was really hoping for was to get the stock Rezound ICS update.
Thanks so much! You've been really helpful. It was much simpler than I was expecting. I'll see about rooting at a later date
Not sure how it works or the slang around here but "bump"? or "thanks" button pressed xD

I am in a similar state and I have one follow up question. I read in another thread that before relocking my bootloader, I would need to Flash stock recovery because I have Amon-Ra installed. Is flashing the stock recovery absolutely required before relocking and flashing the new global ruu?
Thanks in advance.

No, you don't need to flash stock recovery. The RUU will do that for you. Just make sure you're locked before you flash the RUU. Unlock and re flash your choice of recovery after RUU is complete.

I was wondering if there was a way to get an unlocked bootloader without using HTCDev.com while I'm on 1.58 Hboot?
I upgraded using Virus's PC86IMG.zip file from his thread, and that upgraded the radio's and hboot (and other stuff I'm assuming).
or do all of the methods involve downgrading the hboot while unlocking?

Sort of.
If you are S-OFF you can flash one of the custom bootloaders from this post and it will support the same fastboot commands that an unlocked stock bootloader supports. Technically your bootloader status is still "***LOCKED***" and if you reflash the stock bootloader it will show that, but the custom bootloaders ignore that status and support the additional fastboot commands.
Since you are currently using 1.58, I recommend the JuopunutBear Sprint ICS (1.58.5858) version since you will probably need that for the ROM you are currently running. Just be aware that version doesn't get along well with GB and AOSP ROM's.

ok, thanks ramjet.
Just so I am clear, I won't be running a GB or AOSP rom. I have been using TribulattiFather's Roms (SolidRom Family). So I should be good with JuopunutBear's Sprint ICS 1.58.5858.
If I plan on running a AOSP rom down the line somewhere, I should just follow the downgrade hboot guides that are listed in these forums? or is running the JuopunutBear's HBoot not allowing downgrades?
Thanks again for the info, it is greatly appriciated.

As long as you are S-OFF you can downgrade/upgrade your bootloader anytime you want. Just make sure to delete the PG86IMG.zip file after you flash it or you will only be able to do a normal boot from the bootloader and not get into fastboot USB or recovery. Also, if you are running 4EXT recovery it will go into safe mode after changing bootloaders until cache+dalvik is reformatted and recovery is restarted.

ok perfect! thanks again ramjet!
I did all this and it worked perfectly. Thanks y'all
Is It possible to return to stock ruu and stock hboot without losing s-off? I posted earlier about the memory issue i'm having and i'm thinking it's due to me upgrading hboots. But i don't want to have to go through the entire process or getting s-off again. Right now i'm rooted on neo's aokp never flashed a ruu just always flashed patchable firmware zips. updated to 2.73 hboot i think it was today to fix damaged sd card issue. Please help.
Yes, first RUU, then rename the hex-edit hboot entitled "locked" to PH98IMG and flash in bootloader. (You will not lose S-Off)

s-off is permanent unless you use the fastboot command.

Greetings I have a HTC ONE AT & T, before I had a HTC ONE XL, and had the bootloader unlocked, S-OFF and SuperCID, so this applies to factory rom 4.0.4, then apply the RUU aT & T last of which is 3.18, and it worked to perfection ... My question is: 1 - I have to unlock the bootloadre, Root, S-Off and SuperCID as my M7, now, or apply the RUU 3.17 first, then proceed to unlock the bootloader, ROOT, S-off and SuperCID? ?
Sorry for my bad English

you should be able to OTA to 3.17 if your phone is new
s-off is possible on 3.17 with rumrunner
so the correct steps would be
take OTA update
then HTCDEV.com to unlock bootloader
install custom recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3)
Make nandroid backup
Install Root and custom Rom (like ARHD 31.6)
then S-off with Rumrunner.us

I want to update it, I downloaded the ROM SkyDragon_New_Year_v_5, and I have to manually install the Boot, and does not respond when you start the Back button, probe and installing InsertCoin ROM does not work ... Downloading Curtain CleanROM second time to see if I can install it, and I still have the factory 4.1 ROM and as commented already unlocked the bootloader, S-OFF, SuperCID and ROOT

so all you really need is a rom and firmware update
Also so you know the 4.4 roms require s-off and this recovery
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
here's your firmware
(Credit to @dark2099 for providing the OTApkg.zip)(latest) ATT 4.3 Official OTA 3.17.502.3 Firmware/Not From The RUU (Boot.img & Recovery.img removed) ---> http://d-h.st/YDI
From @nkk71 Guide
Rename the downloaded file to firmware.zip (careful about firmware.zip.zip in Windows)
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash it:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <- yes TWICE, the first one will report “failed flush again”, the second one will succeed.
fastboot reboot-bootloader

As for which Rom, it's a matter of opinion. I use ViperOne, InsertCoin, MaximusHD, ARHD, and Stock Rooted ..depending on whats new.
I need to update the HBoot and Radio's on my Rezound. I'm HTC Unlocked, Rooted running Tachyon, and just did the rumrunner S-off. After reading through several post, I got so confused. If I am correct I need to re-lock then flash the Ph98img file in HBoot, or in recovery? Then I have to un-lock. Do I have to re-root, or restore my latest nandroid. Every post that starts off about being s-off ends up about how to do it while s-on.
Can someone please give me a step by step guide?
Thank you!
I have a downgrade upgrade guide...follow that and you'll be on latest radios and hboot...the last 2 ph98img files are hboot 2.27 and 2.28 which is the latest

You don't have to do anything but flash the PH98IMG.zip if you're s-off, no need to lock or unlock anything.
To just update the hboot/radios, you can flash the last PH98IMG.zip in REV3NT3CH's guide.
Back your rom up to your SD card to be safe of course.
