I thought I saw this in one of the forums, but now I cant find it (yes, I used the search).
A few weeks ago, I did the firmware update (OTA_JEWEL_CL_ICS_40_S_SPRINT_WWE_2.13.651.1-1.22.651.3_release_277), downloaded, then restarted the phone, but the phone went into the TWRP recovery....nothing happened. So I tried to install through TWRP, but it "FAILS" every time. Can anyone let me know how the heck I can install the firmware update? And if I install the update, will that remove my "unlocking" (<~ word?)? Thanks for the help guys and gals.
A couple of notes:
I am not fully rooted, I just unlocked with HTC - so S-on
Hboot 1.15
Radio - 1.05.11.0606
TWRP-2.2.1
hardware - 0003
software 1.22.651.3.71ORD
android version - 4.0.3
HTC Sense - 4.0

You can't install firmware with that hboot..you either need to relock and use the most recent ruu, or downgrade your hboot to 1.12 and lazy panda for s-off

Thank you for the response. Is the problem the s- on? And if so, can I wait for s-off for hboot 1.5 and then apply the update?
I know this had probably been answered in the past, so I do appreciate taking the time to catch me up.

Just run the 1.22 stock recovery, that will wipe twrp. Your update should go right thru. Yes you would need to HTC unlock again. If you can't find 1.22 stock recovery let me know and I can pm you the PJ75IMG when I get home
That would be great if you could PM me that file. Also, could you let me know again what it would affect. Do I just unlock through HTC to get access to the root drive?
Does it also zap all my programs and settings? And if so, would I than install TWRP and flash my latest backup?
Sorry for all the questions, I have been away from the "scene" for too long.

If you're not in a hurry, you could just reflash a rooted ROM for now and wait for dirty racun to get s-off (no eta atm) and then flash the latest firmware package.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964309
Otherwise you will need to relock, run the RUU, htc dev unlock again, flash TWRP, etc.

I downloaded the over the air update for htc evo 3d and when I try to install it my phone restarts and the htc screen shows then it restarts again like normal. Since things I should mention is that I unlocked the bootloader and had the phone flashed to Verizon. I hope that this didn't have any effect on the update process. Does anybody know a way to apply the update using the computer? I copied the update data to my computer( it's in rar file format).

You cannot upgrade to an official ota with an unlocked bootloader.

Not really sure what you just said, but if you want to install a rom, there are TONS of guides on here. Boot into recovery, make nandroid backup, wipe everything, and install (flash) zip.

Well if you are rooted you already should have a custom recovery. If not, you can find the thread for the recovery you want and follow the instructions.
Sorry, dumb auto correction. I will see if I can find another way to install recovery on my phone then. Thanks.

I can't update my Sprint CDMA Evo 3d. I have flashed it to another carrier but i don't thnk ths is the problem. After i go to settings and check HTC Updates it says i have an update available to ICS. The phone downloads(305 MB) update and after that it reboots to Recovery like it was installing the Update but then restart to RO normally and just make a Factory Reset.
I was HTC Dev Unlocked Hboot 1.50 S-ON, so i relocked the Bootloader to run the Full 2.17.651.5 RUU so i'm 100% stock. Any way to install it?

Do you have a custom recovery installed?
I heard you need to be running the stock recovery to be able to use an OTA update.
hope this helps
Nope. The RUU reverts the phone to 100% Stock(Recovery, Radio, FW, etc).
First I must say that I have already fixed the problem. I flashed and RUU using step 8 and up on the DirtyRacun method and my phone us back to normal.
I'm S-off
HBOOT 1.15.2222
Originally had Venom 2.0.1 installed (error: i have 3.0.1)
Flashed Using TWRP 2.4.1.0
I did a full wipe before flashing. While I was flashing MeanBean 2.02 I think it just restarted without warning. When I tried going into TWRP again it wouldn't load, it would show the boot screen for a split second then reboot into bootloops. I tried fastboot flashing other version of TWRP but that didn't do anything.
From here I relocked and flashed my RUU accordingly with the DirtyRacun process. After unlocking my bootloader and flashing TWRP 2.3.1.0 I restored my old backup of Venom and I'm back to normal.
I checked the MD5 sums of the MeanBean ROM and they matched.
What the heck happen during the install?
Flash new radios now my phone is bricked and get teh DLOAD drivers on windows.
I'm gonna take a guess and say you flashed the latest firmware 3.16 without flashing the previous firmware update 3.15.
There is no radio only zip available from the latest OTA update for this very reason.
If this is the case your phone is unrecoverable . back to sprint

I second this, I am having issues as well.
Let this be a warning for others that may follow in your footsteps. You need to make sure you know what you are doing before you start flashing firmware. Firmware is meant to be upgraded one step at a time, not jumping from an old firmware to the latest, this will brick you phone in most cases. Please make sure you have verified your current firmware that you are on and upgrade to the next highest in sequence until you finally reach the newest. Also, the radio is just a part of the firmware, so if you did not upgrade the full firmware in the past then you need to go back and install the full firmware that you were on and then upgrade to each subsequent one. If you are s-on the only way to do this is to relock and take the OTA. For those that are s-off visit Captain Throwbacks thread in the development section and start reading and learning. You may find a solution in it.
Cruise was right, i thought i had the radio that came with 3.15 but i really had the radio that came with 1.22 XD.

Unless you bought your phone used, you should know whether you are s-on or s-off since it is an involved process to get your phone s-off. What ota notices are you getting? Are they from the ota updater built in to MeanBean, or is it the HTC update?
If its the MeanBean update you can let it update and it should work just fine. Your firmware will not be up to date, but MeanBean will still work. If its HTC then don't take the update.
If you are s-off you can update you firmware with the file provided in the first post of the MeanBean thread.
If you are s-on, the only way to update your firmware is returning to stock, locking your bootloader, and taking the HTC ota update.

Ok so I did that and it says I'm s-on. Now what? Do I take the OTA update that says "This will update your ROM (MeanBean) to version MeanBean_3.06"? If so, once it's downloaded what do I do? Restart into bootloader? Also my Titanium backup is saying that it "could not acquire root privileges" What does that mean? Thanks for your help.
If you want to update meanbean then backup and flash the latest meanbean. If yours breaks like mine did, flash an ruu and dont be an idiot like me. im guessing it s a rare occurrence that mine broke the recovery
If your goal is to flash new radios then you have two options:
Two methods:
Get your adventure face on and follow the DirtyRacun S-Off process step by step (It worked for me on windows 7 x64 but its easy to use a ubuntu livecd)
Once you are s-off you can flash radios. DO NOT JUMP VERSIONS... EVER use the baseband version as reference in about phone and flash each version up until you are at the latest
OR
staying s-on and leaving yourself less prone to brick hell
recovery nandroid backup: system, data, boot
flash ruu
ota update
reroot
restore backup.
i dont know how to root from the latest version so idk if this is a good procedure. make sure you can root with the latest version
But really if you have a choice, ditch the evo and get the s3. you can firmware jump all you want, but the downside is that the s3 has sh*t roms. I miss venom and stock with goodies :crying:

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?

Yes.
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.

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.

I used htcdev to unlock my phone don't know why it says locked. Should I just go ahead and flash the ruu? Could you just give a quick step by step guide? ? But if I'm understanding you correctly I just flash the ruu, then i need to unlock my phone again with HTCdev then flash recovery n while in amonra i instill su to roor and I'm now on the latest ota with root? I don't want a ROM at this time. I just want the latest stock rezound with root and latest hboot and radio.

I was on the Inflection Rom too and S-off. I used the Hansoon rezound all in one toolkit. I reflashed the latest RUU and I ulocked again using my unlock code that I had generated on HTC. I flashed recovery and install supersu and now I am rooted on the latest RUU unlocked and S-off.

3. once the jellybean roms are fixed and all the bugs are gone im gonna jump back over. if i want to flash a jellybean rom, do i just go ahead and flash the rom? and will my hboot remain the same whatever rom i flash?
4. im just curious on how im s-off but my phone says locked?

You probably took the update and tried to install it with a custom recovery installed. If so, it appears that will result in a partially installed update with the ROM updated and the kernel not being flashed, which causes WiFi errors.
If that's your situation the best thing to do is flash a stock rooted ROM if that is what you were using prior to taking the OTA.

I found this thread because I'm in a similar situation. I tried downloading from the quoted link and using 4eXT recovery to load the zip file from sd card and it says "installation aborted".
Any ideas on what to try next? My eventual goal is to get back to 100% showroom stock non-rooted, locked booloader, so that the phone will accept OTA updates fully. Modding/ROMing is a drug I experimented with, and am now ready to go back to the straight and narrow. I'd prefer the phone not have any scars whatsoever from my old habits.
Additional background:
Started with ICS OTA. Used HTC unlock to unlock bootloader. Coworker installed rom toolbox, superSU and 4eXT recovery (not sure what order) to get SOS rom up and running. Never did go for S-OFF.
Decided I wanted to return to 100% Sprint factory stock. Coworker promptly moved across country, leaving me to figure this out. Tried using several ROMs from XDA and elsewhere, and eventually ended up with a rooted almost stock ROM, but had to flash my own radios via 4eXT, as wifi and 4G weren't working from the rom. Flashing my own radios via 4eXT, got to 2.89 with then current radios.
While sitting in my hotel travelling abroad with no international data plan and super slow hotel wifi, I foolishly downloaded OTA this morning, promptly killing my phone's wifi. Phone is still rooted with 4eXT, superSU, installed on it if that helps.

I just did this yesterday (Thanks to ramjet for pointing it out). Backup first. It dose a factory reset. You also need to install the blue tooth fix from this post after flashing the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29707708&postcount=303
fixed thanks
Hi to all
I just fixed my phone thanks to Mr ramjet and I used the last one because I completely formatted my phone and only had 4ext it takes while to load the first time but be patient and it will work
How about S-Off phones?
Hello... so my fiance' has a Virgin Mobile Evo 3D. I downloaded the update from them and tried to install it through the custom recovery. It did what Ramjet said by updating the ROM and not the Kernel. I now have no wifi,it says wifi error when trying to turn it on. Since then, I have made sure the stock ROM was rooted, and have also HTCDev unlocked the device as well as S-Off with the Junobear wire trick and Linux. Now that I'm S-Off, is it ok to use an RUU to downgrade everything? Just wondering before I go any further and brick the device or screw up something I shouldn't. I figure it's better to ask questions first before doing it lol! Any help is greatly appreciated from anybody! I have my specs listed here for you all:
HTC Evo 3D 4G Virgin Mobile

Was this new thread ever made because I am a Virgin Mobile user too just like the above user and ever since last update my wireless has stated error.
If ur phone's bootloader is unlocked, relock your phone by using the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock". Then just download the 2.89 RUU.exe. (i know ur on 2.95 but i have not seen the 2.95 ruu floating around hgere yet) Run it on a windows PC and follow the prompts and it should flash correctly on your phone (caution, it will erase everything on your phone). Once its flashed, the phone will reboot (sometimes more than once) just let it do its thing
Once the phone has flashed correctly, do a software update and it will update to 2.95
Worked for me when i had to go back to stock in order to return it for warranty when the digitizer went out
EDIT:
Here is the link to the 2.95 OTA http://d-h.st/vUe
Download to your PC, then unzip it, and run it after you have relocked your phone
Should you need them, here is the list of HBOOTS (thanks to ramjet73) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29844945#post29844945

This sounds hopeful, I did try to install this before with no luck, it gave me a 131 custom id error. I did it relocked and I am currently 2.95.652.5, and S-ON.
any suggestions?
Thanks
Can some please list the details of installing the OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted.zip on a S-ON phone? Or any other way to avoid the OTA update from automatically trying to install and eventually aborting? I'm VERY new to the rooting terminology so please be specific. Thanks!
So nobody can help me with this?
Do I have to uproot and relock the bootloader to get the OTA, or is there another way to flash the update?
to get OTA you have to be relocked. did you check this thread yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250494
I've read through several of the posts. They seem more relevant to S-OFF, I'm still S-ON. I've re-locked the bootloader but the OTA still stops at the bootloader screen when the phone reboots. Do I have to "flash" the OTA manually from there using a computer (i.e. fastboot flash recovery ..\OTA.zip)?
You also need to be on stock Rom with stock recovery for the ota to work

That's what I figured, so just go back to stock. I think I can remember to do this (I had to to it a couple of months ago when I got a warranty replacement), but if you have any advice on this it would be great. Thanks!
Are you on the global leak now? If not just run the latest ruu for ics 605.12 which you can find at shipped-roms under vigor.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Have 3.14.605.13.710RD installed.
You could run the 605.12 ruu as it has the same hboot or extract the stock recovery from that and install it, as long as your on a non modified stock Rom you should be able to get the update.

Thanks! That worked... BUT... now it looks like I have a bigger problem. I was able to get the updates and re-root but when I was restoring my backup I could not boot up. Because I have the update HBOOT I can't go back and do the stock RUU, I am able to boot up into TWRP recovery but now I am TOTALLY lost. When I shut down from recovery it says I don't have an OS installed, idea ideas?
I got it! Kept reading various posts and re-installed AmonRA instead of TWRP and was able to install the OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted ROM, already had flashed the boot.img. Wow! How does anyone figure out how to do this stuff in the first place?!
