Can I install an unrooted htc one stock ROM and still receive updates?
Probably not right?
And if I install the unrooted stock ROM, will I be able to receive the T-Mobile updates again?
Thank you
Chris

No you need a relocked bootloader
For one... the only way to get unrooted is to relock bootloader and get stock recovery...flash the shipped Rom
By flashing a Rom means your flashing something that evidentilly is pre rooted cause it takes root to flash a Rom
The only way to go stock no root is to either full unroot inside the Superuser settings or relock bootloader and ruu back to the stock shipped Rom.
If you unroot via superuser settings you will loose root permission and in a sense you'll be unroooted because everything will be denied root access but you will always Still have custom recovery until you do something about that as well.

I'm on hboot 1.50 and I want to update to the latest software. After locking my bootloader, should I run the RUU.exe of the previous updates then do an OTA of the latest 2.17 or should I just run the RUU of the latest? Does either way work? I never did this before so I want to make sure I do it right.

All depends on if you are rooted or not, which you didn't mention.
If you are not rooted, you don't need to do all that, just go to settings-system updates and let it update that way.
If you are rooted, again no need to do all that, just flash a stock rooted rom, or custom rom of your choice.
I am rooted, hence I mentioned relocking the bootloader. My goal is to unroot. Should I run the latest RUU or the previous version then do the OTAyfor the latest 2.17 I believe it is.

You don't need to relock to recieve the update, I have hboot 1.5 unlocked too and all I needed to do was to have a fully stock (no bloatware removed) ROM and stock recovery, doeant matter if your currently rooted or not.
After the update you will loose root so you just need to flash a custom recovery again via fastboot and just flash root again.
This is all i did and worked like a charm. Updates don't check on the state of the bootloader, it just checks on the integrity of it for corruption or other showdown software running on it.

What do you mean all you needed was a stock rom and recovery? I thought installing the RUU.exe automatically puts the stock recovery back? I'm on warmtwopointthree with cwm recovery. What are you stating I need to do exactly?

if you are still unlocked flash stock recovery and rom then take the OTA.
Or if you are relocked then run RUU.
Thanks

I am trying to put my phone back to stock, I have unrooted and relocked my bootlaoder. Now when I try to do a Sprint OTA my phone reboots, goes into boot loader and doesn't update anything. Everytime I try to run RUU I get an error. Any suggestions would help, thanks.

To accept the ota you need a stock recovery and stock rom.

I am on a stock rom, how do I get stock recovery?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Unlock and flash the stock recovery, if you removed any bloatware you will need to flash a bare stock rom. Check the development section
Folks, I need some help here. I am using my DNA with tmobile now and have never activated with Verizon. How do I get the ota update? I am rooted with a custom Rom. Many thanks!

you can do a manual install of the ota by downloading it and installing via recovery but dont quote me on that. this is my first htc device so i dnt know too much about it myself

Go to Original Development. You should find the RUU thread i believe from micromod777. Dunno your previous devices, but RUU is akin to SBF for motorola and ODIN for samsung. It is how you get released/leaked factory images onto your phone using your computer and fastboot. You can also flash the stock rom in recovery but if you are not s-off you will not be able to get the valuable(IMHO) parts which are the bootloader/radio etc . I would say your best bet to get the good stuff Is to go to original development, download the RUU to your computer, re lock your phone using fastboot oem lock in fastboot mode and a terminal on your cpu. Once you update you will have lost root. So re-unlock using superCID, re root after reinstalling your custom recovery. Now you will be updated, unlocked, and rooted. BACKUP your device.. IT WILL BE WIPED
Can some please list the details of installing the OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted.zip on a S-ON phone? Or any other way to avoid the OTA update from automatically trying to install and eventually aborting? I'm VERY new to the rooting terminology so please be specific. Thanks!
So nobody can help me with this?
Do I have to uproot and relock the bootloader to get the OTA, or is there another way to flash the update?
to get OTA you have to be relocked. did you check this thread yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250494
I've read through several of the posts. They seem more relevant to S-OFF, I'm still S-ON. I've re-locked the bootloader but the OTA still stops at the bootloader screen when the phone reboots. Do I have to "flash" the OTA manually from there using a computer (i.e. fastboot flash recovery ..\OTA.zip)?
You also need to be on stock Rom with stock recovery for the ota to work

That's what I figured, so just go back to stock. I think I can remember to do this (I had to to it a couple of months ago when I got a warranty replacement), but if you have any advice on this it would be great. Thanks!
Are you on the global leak now? If not just run the latest ruu for ics 605.12 which you can find at shipped-roms under vigor.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Have 3.14.605.13.710RD installed.
You could run the 605.12 ruu as it has the same hboot or extract the stock recovery from that and install it, as long as your on a non modified stock Rom you should be able to get the update.

Thanks! That worked... BUT... now it looks like I have a bigger problem. I was able to get the updates and re-root but when I was restoring my backup I could not boot up. Because I have the update HBOOT I can't go back and do the stock RUU, I am able to boot up into TWRP recovery but now I am TOTALLY lost. When I shut down from recovery it says I don't have an OS installed, idea ideas?
I got it! Kept reading various posts and re-installed AmonRA instead of TWRP and was able to install the OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted ROM, already had flashed the boot.img. Wow! How does anyone figure out how to do this stuff in the first place?!
So I usually just flash my stock att Rom, flash stock recovery , then update. Once I finish I flash twrp back , backup the newly updated stock Rom, then restore my custom Rom backup. This way at least I am benefiting from an updated radio etc.
Now, with this update I understand there is a new hboot. Is that only going to affect my ability to s off in the future ?
And also will twrp work with this new hboot that comes with the 4.3 ota update ? I'm not worried about s off. I just want to be able to flash custom kernels and roms.
So basically my question boils down to will twrp work with the new hboot? Am I safe to restore stock Rom, flash stock recovery , Ota and then flash twrp back ?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You will be unable to S-Off after the update (I would highly recommend you s-off, you can always s-on after the update. Advantages of s-off are being able to "lock" the bootloader if you ever needed to return it to the manufacturer. Without s-off, you would only be able to "relock" your device and they can tell that you unlocked the bootloader)
As for TWRP, it will still work.

Thanks for the response. Yeah I'll go ahead and s off. I realize the advantages. Revone still the best method ?

I believe that people have the most success on a 4.1.2 stock rom but don't quote me on that. You can always try on arhd but ymmv

Yeah it's not like it's that big of a deal to backup and restore my stock Rom. Root it and then s off. Probably the safest route.

Hey, I just created a headache for myself trying this. I was unlocked and rooted (not S-off) until last night. I flashed the GuruReset ROM, did nothing but hook up wifi and did the 4.3 OTA. So afterwards the bootloader still showed unlocked and tampered.
I tried using Goo mgr to get twrp (only old 2.6.01 there) it wouldn't take, tried SuperSU from the PlayStore - no go. Went to HTCDev and the token created today is different than what I got this spring. Tried the Unlock_code and it won't take. I've got the original code I unlocked with but I'm thinking that would bork my 1 if I tried it now. I'll have more time later to mess with this later.
So NO I don't think you would get TWRP to work with hboot1.55.

Well I go about it a little different than you do it seems.
I restore my stock Rom. Then use fastboot to flash the stock recovery.
Then do the Ota.

Yea it is technically different.
But if it works out well..... you won't have the headache I've got right now!
Good Luck & let us know.
*All's Good Here:good: I'd forgotten about twrp.img files http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/164
Just flash it in fastboot. It even re-rooted for me. Apparently didn't need to unlock again that's why HTCDev didn't work.
