You should be able to just download the RUU and run it from your SD card. Being that you are in Korea, you probably want a global version.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/15/exclusive-download-full-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ has a link to download, and instructions for using it to upgrade.
Note: Doing this will completely wipe the phone, so be sure to back up anything you don't want to lose.

Hi,
I'm using a sim unlocked (not rooted) HTC Amaze phone with T-mobile; previously used with Windmobile Canada. It seems I cannot get the official update from T-mobile since my software version is different.
Is there any way I can get the official ICS, without rooting or voiding my warranty?
Thanks.

No, you have to be running T-Mobile software in order to receive an OTA from T-Mobile.
If I took the latest rom update would it relock my sim? I am using t-mobile and found Streak_407_20707_14.pkg 2.3.3 official update from dell.
Just don't wanna update the rom to find out I got to get the sim unlocked again, so thought I'd ask.
No. Once unlocked, no ROM upgrades (or even downgrades) will lock the Streak.
Cool thanks.

Again? The SIM was never locked in the first place. The i545 allows any SIM to be used.
tq..i updated my s4 and the another carrier sim is working fine
I see that Sprint will sim unlock a US phone to use with an overseas sim card.
My LG G3 is rooted and I'm going to Mexico next week and would like to use my phone with a pre-paid sim card I would purchase in Mexico. Will / can Sprint sim unlock my phone if it is rooted?

Check out THIS link post #6.
As long as it has stock or stock based ROM on it, root doesnt matter with Sprint.
Hi guys, since upgrading to a stock ATT M8 (from a rooted ATT M7) on December, I have wanted to do the Lollipop update, but I do not want to risk the phone by rooting it (maybe I could do it on a last case scenario). ATT recently pushed the OTA update to the M8, but mine is unlocked, and I'm currently using it on Claro PR, so when I check for updates it gives me nothing. So here goes my question, can I manually download and push the ATT update from HTC to the M8 (as it is on stock kit kat)? My only doubt is that since it's unlocked, could it brick during the process, or would it be alright? Thanks in advance!

Is it SIM unlocked or unlocked from HTC? Unlocked from HTC means it has no carrier branding/bloatware and can be used on any network, compared to SIM unlocked where its just an AT&T phone with AT&T apps and branding that is SIM unlocked. If its unlocked from HTC you could just use an RUU to update. If its SIM unlocked from AT&T you could use an RUU but I'm unaware if that would then break the SIM unlock.

So, should I do it?
