I ran the RUU for 1.22 and I am back to complete stock but the stock recovery did not install. I tried to flash a stock recovery images from one of the root files I downloaded and it said successful but still no recovery. I'm trying to update to the latest update to 2.13 but will fail. How can I get this to update?
Are you S-On or S-Off? If s-off you could try to ruu to 1.13 and see if that takes care of it.
If s-on have you tried installing another recovery like twrp and then try installing the stock recovery? If thay works ypu can ruu again on 1.22 and see if that makes the stock recovery stick.

wut? that doesn't seem like it makes sense.
Before running ruu you are supposed to re lock the bootloader, after you re lock the bootloader you should have stock everything, in order to flash anything through fastboot you need to unlock the bootloader so that you have access to those partitions again

So what I took from this was to unlock the bootloader again, and try to flash the recovery again. So I tried that and still no recovery.

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

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.

It's not technically a RUU but yeah since you're s-off you can flash it. If you're looking to just get the firmware you can flash the separately also.
yes
I installed and everything installed ok but now it just keeps flashing white HTC boot screen.

Did you flash the ZIP file twice in a row? Apparently flashing the PHXXXXX.zip files for ICS don't install everything completely the first time around, you need to do it twice to have a complete install.
It did install twice. I bought this phone used and it already was unlocked with s-off but wifi wasnt working. I was able to flash the gb ruu and the phone is working again but wifi is still broke. I really need somebody that knows what they are doing to tell me what the person before me did. I have had no success flashing other roms either.
Do a factory reset. That should clear up the wifi issue.
I did that with no luck.

Yes you can flash the RUU. Then after that use the jbear modified hboot and you can flash kernels and recoveries via fastboot without having to unlock the bootloader.
I already tried flashing the newest ics ruu and my phone would just keep rebooting from the white HTC screen. I even tried a factory reset.
Every rom I try to flash I just get boot loops. I just installed clean rom with gingerbread patch and it will boot up, then restart, then act like it is going to work and then restart. It even gets to activating and then just keeps rebooting.
The bootloop sounds like a kernel issue, but if you are installing the RUU it should be fine. Maybe you have a bad download. Did you check the MD5?
Yesterday I tried several times to Flash the Stock ICS Rom to my Evo3D using 4EXT Recovery. I even went so far as to Flash the Stock rom BEFORE the ICS update and try flashing the Stock ICS after that. The Stock before ICS worked but ICS continues to boot loop no matter what i try Does ANYONE have suggestions that would help me get past this boot loop situation???

It sounds like your best bet would be to relock and flash the RUU.exe from Windows since that will set everything to Sprint ICS stock and give you the proper base to run other ICS ROM's. You might also be able to flash it from the bootloader if you can find a properly signed RUU.zip.

Sorry, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you ran the RUU.exe to the point where it was successful and automatically rebooted your phone when finished and the stock ROM still didn't boot, you probably have a hardware problem with your phone and will need to have it fixed.
ramjet73
Thanks for all the help.
Just one small question, what exactly can be the hardware issue?
And any hints, where I can get the repair done, anybody?
Maybe you should try what I did. Instead of running the RUU for ICS I used an old one that got my phone to stock gingerbread. Once there I just installed all of the OTA updates that came thru and it updated all the way to ICS. Once there I unlocked again and now im able to flash custom ICS roms if i wanted too.

Update your twrp to 2.3.3.0 or if you want to return to stock you have to relock your bootloader
Sent from my PoS MoPho
TWRP won't take the update for whatever reason, and I can't get fastboot to work over this machine, so I'm thinking about running linux to get into the phone a little easier (hopefully.) I either have to wait til I can use my roommates machine, or start installing a dual boot
Have you tried goomanager to update twrp?
Yea, it downloads the file, gives a message stating it has been installed, then it does nothing. No reboot. when I manually reboot into recovery, it still sits at previous version.
Do you have adb setup on your PC? Also do you have the correct drivers installed ?

Ok, so finally got my fastboot to work
"Fastboot oem lock"
Worked. Awesome...now it's stuck in a bootloader loop. Won't let me into recovery, but I can still get to fastboot. I can't get to recovery, factory reset, etc. just hboot and fastboot.
screen shows tampered relocked and security warning.
Any ideas? I can get it to flash the PJ75IMG.zip but it says main version is older! or something to that effect and it fails. Any ideas?
UPDATE: Got it unlocked again and it booted back into OS.
Bump. I'd really like to get this phone on the newest versions of everything. Anyone have any ideas?

Well since you are s-on you can't flash PJ75IMG files from bootloader if you want to update your phone to the latest OTA you have to relock your bootloader and reflash the stock recovery and take the OTA then unlock and flash twrp again.
If you click the link in my sig and download the 3.15/2.09 hboot file there is a stock recovery in the files as well as instructions on how to flash it

So I'm trying to run the Dirty Racun method, and I'm sitting at this part "sudo ./fastboot flash zip RUU.zip"
How long should this normally take? The only thing I can see is Sending 'zip' (filesize) and htc on the phone. Does this process take awhile? >20 mins? Is there some kind of progress meter?
Update:// So apparently I'm stuck. DirtyRacun seems to hang on the RUU flash. BigDaddy, it also stops half way thru the stock recovery flash.
Is it possible to flash back to the stock t mobile HTC One rom then update it to 4.3?if so, could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

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.

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.
