So I woke up this morning and I noticed a little blue android man standing next to a caution symbol on my phone screen. I was stock rooted before this happened. I believe the recent update went ahead and updated itself while I was sleeping. Can someone help me get my phone back to stock root? If I press the menu button, it brings me to the Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 screen where I have the options to "reboot system now", "apply sdcard:update.zip"... etc. I'm not really good with Revolutionary so before I do anything I would like the opinions and suggestions of others who are more experienced. Obviously I'd like to avoid a factory reset as much as possible. Thanks!
You have to get the stock ruu 2.11.605.5 and re flash it. It will remove root unfortunately because .9 is not rootable yet.
Flash back to non root stock by putting the ruu i mentioned above on your memory card (not in any folders) and rename it to PG05IMG then power off the phone.
Hold power and volume down for a few seconds and the phone will go to the Hboot screen, it will find the PG file and update itself. Once its all done, reroot with revolutionary and then go into the developement section here and get the rooted version of the 2.11.605.9 ruu file and just flash that in recovery.
You will have to flash the new radios as well. They have to be renamed to the same name I posted above and flashed the same way thru the Hboot screen
So even if I were to back up with My Backup Pro, I wouldn't be able to recover all my data, apk's, photos etc. because I wouldn't be able to root on the latest update, correct?
Try wiping cache and rebooting before you flash an RUU, lose root and your data. If it bootloops or is still otherwise non functioning THEN you will have to RUU it.

Your photo and apps should be backed up on your sd card. your setup will be wiped but all the stuff on the sd card will be fine. Just have to reinstall
as for what the post about wiping and rebooting, that will not help unfortunately because the update deletes root. If you want to get back to root, you have to reinstall.

Thanks guys. I ended up flashing the stock rom on the link below. Apparently that got it working where it wont break your root anymore.

Just place the zip file on your SD card, then go into recovery and find the zip through there. Your new Rom should then begin flashing

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.

CWM for recovery is pretty nice some folks were having issues using TWRP 2.0 I had few using it when it came to flashing werid ones.
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.
i know there are many tpics similar but i cant find a straight answer or working link..
basically i flashed a rom and this rom ws working fine until it started to reboot everytime i chargd the phone then it would boot loop for like 30min and finaly go in to the rom.. ive tried to access the recovery to switch roms but it just bootloops.. onlything i can go is to bootloader.. i was looking for a stock rooted
P0g5?? file to flash in bootloader but all i can find is mr2 and its in multiupload which is not working for me.. can anyone please give me a working link or answer... and the last option i would hate to do is completely restore to stock and root allover again.. i want to restore to stock rooted/s-off.. not stock rooted/s-on.. please help anyone....
Can u download a new recovery, rename, then flash in hboot possibly?

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip

I have an s-off'd custom rom with AmonRa recovery... offered update??
I just want to have it ignore the update.
Apparently, the software doesn't know the
recovery system is not stock ... so it tries
and fails. I wonder if there is a way to extract
the new fingerprint to trick the update process
into thinking the updates already applied?
Or is there a way to just suppress it all together?

Same here
I am having the same issue, as well. Rooted, debloated stock sense. Recovery is Amon-Ra.
So I read another thread that made it seem like I needed to re-lock the bootloader so I did that and now when I try to update it goes into the bootloader menu instead of starting the update. Do I need to unroot or do another step for this to work?

Did you debloat at all? I was stock+root (no debloating) and the install went fine.

Well, when the ota update downloads and you press the button to update, the updater immediately begins to check the system utilizing a checksum system for any modification, such as a deodexed system/app folder or binaries that weren't originally present. It wants to make sure all system/apps are still there and untouched and all the binaries are still kosher. If it detects something is "off" it will usually abort. If everything checks out it will boot to bootloader and attempt to install the update in the stock recovery. It will fail here of course if a custom recovery is installed.
You can kill your phone from even attempting to check for any otas by using Root Explorer or something similar, go to system/app and add bak to the end of each of these files:
HtcCOTAClient.apk
HtcCOTAClient.odex
You want them to look like:
HtcCOTAClient.apkbak
HtcCOTAClient.odexbak
You could also remove them.

Not to be a PIA, but why freeze if you can just add bak to the end of the file name and you will achieve the same thing? If you ever want to go back you just delete the bak?

You must be on the stock recovery to take an OTA. The stock recovery performs the update. So flash the stock recovery and then do the update or deal with no update.
Is there a way to flash the stock recovery without it wiping my phone?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Unless you're running a completely stock rom (with nothing removed), you won't be able to install the update anyway...
If you want to stop it from trying to come down, delete or rename /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip.
As for re-installing the stock recovery, you probably would need to RUU your phone unless it's s-off.
So if I do a back up, then go back to stock recovery which will wipe my phone, then perform the ota update, will a restore revert the ruu back and I'm back to square one, or does the ruu not roll back?

If you are on a stock rom you should be able to flash the stock recovery from fastboot without wiping the phone. Just find the recovery.IMG from the 605.12 ruu and flash it in fast boot to your phone. Then take the update and when complete flash your custom recovery in fast boot again and flash su zip.

A restore would not overwrite any of the firmware on the phone, just the rom.
As dottat pointed out, you can download the latest RUU, extract the recovery image from it and flash that via fastboot. I'd still back up your rom with your custom recovery first in case the rom pieces in the update bork something...
Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can find the stock ruu?

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.
