Is there anyway for me to install the update with an unlocked bootloader? If not is there a way I can flash it?

I'm not really sure but seems there is no way unless if it's the original bootloader, plus this update is only for the mic so it won't fix back and home button. For me it's worthless.
hey guys i tried flashing the ota update via team win recovery and now im stuck at "Running bug_fix1 tool". its been at this for nearly 20 min idk what to do
Same here, it appears as if the update is intended to be used by the stock recovery only.

Is that compatible with the T-Mobile One? Because it's the recovery for the international version, correct?
why not just flash the 4.2 update and get all the fixes
can some post a nandroid of this in twrp, without anything deleted. just rooted,

I just got a replacement phone from Asurion (Sprint Total Equipment Protection). I am trying to flash a rom (I have tried a few different ones) and in the process of flashing, the phone reboots and gets stuck rebooting.
Does anyone know how to get passed this?
Rom problem
I had a similar problem. I unlocked the bootloader but am still S-On running 1.19. After unlocking, I tried to install MeanBean 2.9 and the phone got stuck for over half an hour trying . I had to Power down. Obviously now it will not reboot. I can get to the bootloader and recovery screens, but cannot push a rom to root drive to flash.
I tried the linux unbricking thread advice, but my phone doesn't seemed to be recognized. Any suggestions on how to resurrect it?
Your phone ain't bricked, you have to flash the boot image first

There is no way to relock the bootloader, and no way to get OTA updates after unlocking.
But you can bring the prime back to stock
Just go to the Asus site and download the latest ROM it is software # 10.4.2.18 then extract the zip file copy and paste the 10.4.2.18 zip file in your internal or external SD card boot into recovery wipe data factory reset then flash the zip file.
It will bring your prime back to stock, but it will still be unlocked.

Ok thnx for that. I was award of the fact you fanboy relock of. What about recovery? When I use stock Rom I should also need stock recovery I think.
Is that true? For desire and hox I used ruu to go back to stock rom.

The 10.4.2.18 blob file you flash from the asus site comes with the stock recovery. The prime will be totally stock after you flash it other than being still unlocked. It will be like it was when you first pulled it out of the box. its exactly like a RUU

@ASAPSEVEN
Are you sure about this? because what I have read is, once you unlocked the prime you shouldn't flash stock ROMs that is taken from ASUS website. Doing so totally bricks your Prime. It has mentioned here.
Or does it mean when we have unlocked and ALSO installed CWM, we shouldn't flash stock blob file?
I use twrp so I Dont know. I flashed Asus blob files and they worked fine for me no problem at all.

But still its very risky. Because stock rom contains recover and bootloader which may corrupt the unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
So I prefer, custom cooked JB ROM out of stock roms.
I don't think the Prime will get anymore OTAs anyway since it didn't get the last OTA the 700/300 got. And the Asus announcement of android 4.2 update left out the Prime too.
It will be a hard choice. Would like stock instead of a custom one. Simply because it will sell more easy.
Thnx for all the info guys!
Will think it over tonight and take the change.

I've got a DNA that I just bought today from someone. Its rooted already with a locked bootloader (that was once unlocked). It has custom recovery installed. Any rom I try to install won't boot and I have to boot into recovery and restore it. It has a functional rom on it now, but the wifi on whatever particular rom it is won't work. I'm not sure what firmware it is its UKB 1.3.0 and PRI version 2.44_002. Not sure if any of that is pertinent information, but I'm just looking to get on a Sense 5 rom with functional wifi. Or at least stock as a whole. It IS trying to accept an OTA update at the moment as well, but I deferred it until the 7th. Thanks for any help anyone can lend.

Ask the dude to email the unlock key so you can unlock it and have fun.
Or just go to htcdev and go through the unlock process.

Since it was unlocked before it has supercid, which means you can just go through the htcdev process again.

It doesn't matter who caused it, the bottom line is that if youve never unlocked and are running 2.04 then the unlock exploit won't work.

Hi everyone, I recently (as in last night) rooted and unlocked my htc evo 4g lte when i found out that htc will no longer be updating the device. I decided to take things into my own hands.
First of all, I unlocked via HTC dev and rooted with su 1.55. I also had Twrp 2.6.1 Everything was good up to this point.
I looked around for the best rom that was stable and I choose CM10.1.
I flashed the rom and not the kernel thinking i didnt have to. After the rom booted with the touch screen disabled or not working I quickly used the recovery i had made before doing all of this. After doing this over about 3 times i learned that you had to flash the kernel. I went and found the kernal for the rom and flashed it. I thought it was fine but i was wrong. My recovery doesnt recover anymore, I can get to the boot loader but unfortunately my boot loader is locked again due to the ruu I tried to use after I got a 'little' nervous.
Im basically stuck with a phone that doesn't boot. Id appreciate any and all help.
Get adb drivers for the evo 4g lte boot the phone into fastboot and reflash the recovery IMG through adb to the phone after that try and s off your evo whenever u s off it will be virtually impossible to brick this device

If you want to go back totally stock you can use the VipeRUU tool. You must be S-off to use it.
I have one more question, can i flash this without a kernel? or do i have to use the gui to flash the kernel first then flash over the rom? or is any of that correct?
Well i cannot link it but its the 4.2.2 cyangenmod

Yes if you are on the stock rom with no deleted or modified system apps, however the update will most likely break root and could result in the inability to root in the future. Usually within days of an update, someone mods the new update and posts it in the dev forum for those who are unable to update, at least that was my experience on the S3.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I was somehow able to just push SuperSu onto my phone, no need go into fastboot or anything. After I unlocked the bootloader I restarted my phone and just clicked on Perm Root, it did its thing, I restarted one more time and boom SuperSu was there and root was verified with root checker.
