Quick question about updating to 3.15.651.16.
I am on a stock EVO 4g lte that has been rooted and has the newest TWRP Recovery and is S-ON. I was wondering if anyone has used the SuperSU Pro OTA survival mode and tried to apply the OTA update and if so did it work?

I think TWRP will prevent the OTA from installing. I had the same exact setup as you and what I tried was to flash a stock recovery.img and then take the OTA. That didn't work for me, I got a red triangle in recovery when it tried to update. I haven't had a chance to figure out what other options I have besides just flashing one of the custom ROMs. Would like to find a way to update without wiping everything but I think that's what I'll end up doing, just trying to avoid it.
You just need to flash the stock recovery back and then take the ota. Afterwhich you can flash twrp back

I'm pretty much the same thing. But I also did the HTCdev unlock, do i need to relock my bootloader?
also how do you flash back the stock recovery?

Go here, there's both odex and deodexed versions you can download and then flash through recovery.

i did it last night and can confirm that it does. just need to make sure that your /system partition is stock as well. (at least that's what i did)
Figured mine out so thought I'd post back. Learned somewhere that if you hold Vol Up and then hit Power when you get the Red Triangle with Exclamation Point it will show you a log of what happened. Mine was failing due to a custom boot animation (live dmesg lite) - so I uninstalled that and the OTA installed fine.

All -
My beloved 3D is telling me there's a security update being pushed by Sprint. I am rooted but with an as yet untouched (stock) ROM. I obviously don't want to lose root - will allowing this update remove root (I've had that issue with past phones). I backed out of the update but the stupid notification won't go away so if it comes to pass that I should *not* allow the update, I need to figure out how to get rid of that blasted icon.
Thanks as always
If you are on hboot 1.50 just flash stock recovery and then take the update...you will not lose root...when done, flash back to wutever recovery you were using before and you're all done....

If you could see me now, you'd see eyes glossed over, deer in the headlights look. Yes, I'm on 1.50... To flash the stock recovery I'm guessing I just go into recovery, apply update from zip, and go, correct? Where can I find the stock recovery at? Then, when done, if I have a stock recovery I don't know how to put shooter xc back on... Cripes I'm chasin my tail...
Wut u need to do is download the 3 files i have attached here for u.Make sure to extract the 2 zip files.
1.Install flash image gui like any other apk and open.
2.Click on Recovery Image then browse to where ever the stock recovery is on your sd card and select it and then click flash.
3.You should now have stock recovery on ur evo so just proceed to install the update. If all goes good you should now be updated.
4.If you want to put cwm as your recovery again just open flash image gui and repeat step 2 but this time just browse to cwm on your sd card and flash that.
You should be all set know.

Luda305,
Is this proven and can you run a rom that isn't updated?
Thank you in advance!
Yes this is proven as I did this myself. Only works if your on the stock rom of your phone. If you mean can you flash a rom that is not updated after you do this the answer is yes. The radio will stay updated no matter what rom you flash since we are on hboot 1.50 and can't flash radios. Hope this answers your question.

All who like flash image GUI please get the paid version to support the developer its only a dollar. Joey Krim is a lifesaver for those of us on hboot 1.5.

Did anyone on hboot 1.4 lose s-off or get a upgraded hboot version when excepting the OTA update?
Ok, quick question. Flashed stock recovery, but I cannot update via the HTC updater.
So I downloaded the update in zip format.
How do I install from the Zip?? with stock recovery on????

You can't. You need a custom recovery. Unless your s-off and you flash it threw the bootloader.

Also - as far as FlashImageGUI, I downloaded (and thus paid .99 for) my copy from the market. I'm a firm believer in rewarding those who put the work in.
I can't get the update to work I used flashimagegui; flashed to stock recovery; went to HTC software update, hit check now, downloaded, hit install now; it goes into bootloader-type loading screen; gets about 1/5 of the way then displays an android software with a red triangle/exclamation point.
I suspect that if I can find this update in the form of a zip, I could just apply the update from CWM but I have no idea how to get the update in that form... Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you validate that the stock recovery worked by holding volume down and power and booting into recovery? Did you fastboot oem lock? I havent seen much success with people using the flash image GUI but i've seen around the forums that if you go into the custom recovery, flash the stockl recovery zip, flash the stock rom zip then then fastboot oem lock, it works.

Same issue, same question.
I'm guessing that since we made modification to the system ie removed system apps or whatever, that's the cause of it not working? I looked around and I couldn't find the OTA in any system folder, so I now wonder if anyone has the OTA in a flashable .zip.

It didn't work because we don't have the stock recovery installed. You'd have to flash the stock recovery back before running the update for it to work. I don't see any stock recovery .md5's posted though so I'm not sure how you'd go back to it short of a full restore.
Anyone know what this update consist of?

I did the return to full stock using the epiccm teams method, got the update and it installed fine. Now I'm having trouble trying to boot into CWM after flashing it through odin. Just boot loops using the three finger method unless i just let it boot up normal.

"The update contains a file that will reflash the stock recovery every single time you reboot your phone if the digital signature doesn't match" is probably whats creating the bootlooping. install the root friendly update thats being uploaded atm...
edit: are you using the new v4 recovery? might want to flash that in odin if your using the old one..
Anybody know what the update is for or fixes? I got the notification but I'm not installing it since I'm rooted LOL

Yes, I got the latest one from their blog.
Edit: I posted this in another thread, but was finally able to get into CWM by just leaving auto reboot checked when flashing recovery in odin, then just holding volume up and home after the phone vibrates. No need to hold the power button.

I was on TWRP and reloaded the stock recovery twice, RUU'd the stock hboot and radios according to .torrented's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740
I can do the first OTA update. The second one downloads and attempts to install but about 1/3 of the way into the install, I get the red triangle. I cannot boot into recovery. It just gives me a red triangle. The phone works fine and I still get the 4.2.2 update/install nag but it won't install.
I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
Reloaded TWRP. Guess I will stay on 3.06 for a while longer.
Using fastboot commands on your computer type fastboot clear cache and see if that helps your recovery issue.

The red triangle screen, is stock recovery.
If you hold volume up and power, you'll get a menu.
In that menu, you would choose to install from cache.
But due to it not doing it automatically, I'd say it's gonna fail to complete the update anyways.
You must be on a full odex stock Rom for the update to take.
If you removed any system apps, it will fail...
My stock Odex full JB Rom and stock recovery from same thread is all that's needed to successfully take the OTA.
I also posted the kit Kat update in stock form, fwiw.

Thanks for the suggestion. That didn't work but I used a method to unlock a long time ago where I had to change my CID. As the roms progressed from the 2.0x, things with recovery and root were spotty at best.
Funny how not wanting to reset my phone long ago lead to me resetting it 4 times trying to get this update to work.
I got the OTA, but when the device reboots, it doesn't update. Then it wants to download the OTA again.
I'm s-off, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery. I'm thinking I need to relock the bootloader.
Thanks for any help.

If you have frozen any apps, have xposed installed, or altered anything in system folder it will not update when your phone is in recovery and fails update look at the yellow writing at the bottom of recovery and it should have the the reason it failed

I unfroze all apps, uninstalled xPosed.
It reboots to recovery (stock) and starts, but then quits to recovery after a minute.

Didn't work.
I'm thinking that I may have either a bad OTA zip file (I didn't grab yours) or there's something really odd about what I've done to the device (not sure what - I disabled xPosed, unfroze all the disabled apps).
I'm probably going to grab the OTA one more time (It started downloading after a TWRP restore).
If that doesn't work, I'm going to probably download the RUU and restore using Titanium backups.
Once again - thank you for all your help on this.
