So when this update came out a month ago I updated and lost the ability to run a lot of applications due to a major bug. The bug only appears when the phone is encrypted and prevents chrome,chrome beta, Mint, Google search, and many more apps from opening. According to the AT&T forums HTC knows about the issue, but because AT&T sucks I doubt this will be solved in the near future.
Is there a way to downgrade to the 1.15... version that I had before the OTA update?
I have tried factory restore, along with using a computer and installing the RUU.
phone is unrooted and completely stock
Thanks

Hey guys, I followed one of the tutorials on how to unroot your EVO 3D and bring it back to stock. Before I unrooted my phone, I kept getting a notification that an OTA update was available, specifically version 2.08.651.2 (August 18, 2011). Right now, my software number is 1.11.651.2. I want to update to the newer version, but when I go to Settings > System updates > HTC software update > Check now, it shows no updates are available. I've tried rebooting the phone and checking repeatedly. I'm kinda lost here and not sure what to do. I was wondering if the PG86IMG I downloaded to return to stock disabled OTA updates, but I highly doubt that since it's just a stock image. If I could find a download link to the updates, I could apply them manually through the bootloader. If not, I might suck it up and take my phone into Sprint and get them to see what's up and update my phone there. Either way, what do you think I should do? I want it updated though. Thanks in advance.
so u unrooted using the approved method and then tried to update to 2.3.4 via HTC but it would'nt find the update? Just wanna make sure u know that if u take this update ur only option is to root via HTC's unlocked bootloader which isn't a true unlock... secondly if that is ur desire and the stock image won't find the update then i would check ur source and make sure it's not missing something. I turned off my update check cuz once it checks and finds an update that little icon stays in ur taskbar unless u factory reset and i was waiting to root with teamwin's method so i didn't take the update. if i knew how to pull the image without updating id post it for ya...
Yes sir! I understand that updating my software to version 2.8.651.2 will prevent my phone from being rootable until somebody figures out a method to make it rootable. I have no need for rooting my phone actually. I tried out a few roms, and I would rather stick with a stock unrooted rom in case I ever need to take my phone into Sprint for service. The Sprint store where I live won't do any service to a rooted phone, so I need to be on the safe side. I went to the store today, and unfortunately the only people available at the time were sales representatives, so they were of no help. They just told me to wait and keep trying to update the phone periodically. If it doesn't show any updates within the next month, my only choices will be to either call Sprint and see if they can push the update to my phone or find an update image, transfer it to my phone, and manually update it through the bootloader. I also read on an EVO 4G thread that the phone won't update if it's missing SprintUpdater.apk. I doubt a stock rom would be missing that app though. I had the update notification when I was rooted, but I didn't download it because it would break my root, and now that I'm completely back to stock, I should get the notification. What gives? I wish Sprint would send out the updates all at once instead of in waves. Anybody wanna chime in?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Having the same problem. But i havent tried unrooting the phone.
Hello
I am using the droid DNA on GSM network. I am really bothered by the battery drain issue from the Camera App and just want to flash the new OTA update to see if it helps in fixing the problem. Since I am not on Verizon, the OTA update ICON in my phone is disabled. I searched the forums and couldn't come across any RUU Executable that can be used for the latest Stock ROM. I did find a thread for the old ROM. Can someone tell me how to update to the new Stock ROM? Any recommendations to overcome the Camera App battery drain issue also would be appreciated.
Thanks

There are several people who got the update that might trade you phones (if a phone is updated without being rooted/supercid before updating, then there currently is no way to root/supercid and s-off after the update).
If you root and s-off your phone, you can manually update your phone, now and in the future.
I also saw one report that removing the sim card, booting up the phone, and connecting to wifi, allowed his phone to download and install the update.
The third way is to wait for the update to get released/leaked in ruu format.

I apologize in advance if this has been answered or if I have inadvertently offended. I did watch the video and have developed OSes for 30 years. I also have searched all over this site and the web for resolution and am making no progress, so I'm asking the 'oracle'
Got an ATT S4 (I337) a week ago - it was running UCUAMDL. I rooted it using Motochopper and was happily using Titanium Pro etc. I get notified of OTA update. OTA update downloads (357MB) yet fails during install at 30% consistsently.
I figure it is unhappy with my root - I unrooted and cannot remember which way I did it - I seem to recall SuperSU I was using did not have the built-in 'unroot' support so I grabbed the stock image and used ODIN to flash it.I also may have manually uninstalled the 'normal' way the SU app - I suspect this may be my real problem.
After flashing stock ROM for UCUAMDL phone was no longer rooted, did not say custom etc, and took the OTA upgrade just fine. This was for UCUAMF3 which did add App 2 SD support - BTW this update used another 1G of storage compared to UCUAMDL, and I could not recover the 1G by moving apps either, making it virtually worthless as far as adding support for apps in SD, lol.
The problem is now I cannot seem to get the device rooted again. Motochopper fails when installing su.apk. I suspect I have screwed the pooch - what do I need to do to get this thing rooted again?
Is it typical for an OTA update to fail 'because' the device is rooted?
Any advice is much appreciated.

I do believe it's because of the latest OTA update. I know the OTA for Verizon patched our bootloader hack that we previously had and I think the same may have happened for AT&T. You might want to check through the AT&T forums section as you have an AT&T S4 and this is the Verizon section. Hope you find what your looking for!

I'd begin with posting in the forum applicable to your device. That being said, in about sure at&t's update was on par with ours

I will start by saying I've never done any updating, rooting, unlocking, etc on any Android device. I used to do some with Blackberry but I've just stayed stock with my Android devices.
I'm currently using the HTC Droid DNA and I chatted online today with an HTC support person regarding my issues. I bought my phone from an individual last year and apparently he must have unlocked the bootloader. I'm running Android Version 4.1.1 and my software # is 1.15.605.4 701RD. Apparently I've missed the last 2 updates and I don't have the option from my phone to manually check for updates. Based on my chat today with HTC there's nowhere online they will allow me to download the updates. They mentioned taking it to a Verizon store but I don't want to do that. I would really like to be able to get the newest software version. Can anyone help me get the newest updates?

If it's rooted, install flash image gui from play store, install twrp recovery and then flash santod040's stock rom, to bring your phone to the latest stuff

Now first thing first. Try a factory reset.. backup your data first. If that doesn't fix the issue comment and Ill tell you what to do next.
Are you trying to be on the latest firmware as it comes from HTC (Stock), or the latest firmware modified with custom options and tweaks as in a custom ROM?
I'm running the stock rom from the 7.23.502.1 RUU. Last night I received notification that an OTA update has been downloaded and ready to install. Since I'm rooted, have TWRP installed, and have deleted most of the AT&T bloatware, I know the OTA won't flash. I pretty much need to run the RUU again, flash the OTA and set up everything from scratch. I'd rather not take the time to do that right now unless this includes the Stagefright patch. I haven't read anywhere that AT&T was even going to patch the M7. Patches for the M8 & M9 started rolling out a couple of weeks ago. From what I've read, those updates were about 50MB. The file I got is 193MB. I can't find any information anywhere regarding an update coming from AT&T for the M7, be it Stagefright, Sense 7 or Android 5.1.
I did notice something odd with this download. In the past all the OTAs I received downloaded to /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip. The one I just received was downloaded to /sdcard/fumo/OTAPkg.zip. Probably just being paranoid, but could some sort of malware disguise itself as an OTA?
Do any of the insiders here have info on what this update includes? Also, any way to kill the reminder to install the update w/o actually installing the update? If I delete the OTAPkg.zip, any way to prevent it from downloading again until I specifically request it?

I'm guessing it's to address the Stagefright issue. See these links:

Thanks for the links. I saw the androidcentral article about AT&T pushing the Stagefright patch to M8 & M9, but it didn't mention the M7. I had not seen that AT&T support page info, though. It'd be nice if that specifically stated it does patch Stagefright. At least I know it's not some sort of malware. Gonna be a few days before I have time to run the RUU so I can apply the OTA.
