for some reason I keep getting install ota update to software verison 4.5.7 or something like that, however im rooted and unlock, but when I re-lock my phone and go to system update it want show up. is it safe to update ur phone with a unlocked bootloader
You won't be able to update if you have cwm. I think it only works with the original recovery. I tried it and i'm both unlocked and cwm and it didn't work. I got the Android with the triangle. I ended up having to restore a nandroid back up. Hope that helps.

so just downloaded the new offical ics update for my unbranded gsm EVO 3d an when I try to update the phone reboots as it would to install the ota but it just freezes with an error screen (droid with !triangle) now this happens on my phone aswell as my friends were both rooted with clockwork mod recovery installed but NO S-OFF !
I wonderd if anyone else has encounterd this problem an if so is there a fix ?
I am experiencing the same problem. My bootloader is unlocked with htcdev.com, I have the 4EXT recovery.img on it and the phone is rooted with SuperSU.
When I try to install the OTA ICS update the phone reboots and there is a progressbar for about a second. After that the error screen (droid with !triangle) appears and the update stops.
Does anybody know how to get the update installed? I don't want to do a factory reset and delete everything that is on it. But I dont care if the root is gone after the update.
U have to be locked and unrooted u will loose the ability to flash custom kernels better get s-off and flash it per my guide on this forum

If have the same problem. My device is S-ON too. Can we unroot and back to stock recovery mode while the device is S-ON? or is there any untouched official update (for using in this situation) that we can use?
thanks.
Hello everybody
The new ICS update for the ROGERS EVO 3D just came out yesterday, so I restored my phone to the original firmware (via restoring the backup I did in the recovery) and then proceeded to download the OTA update. After it finished, the phone rebooted into the recovery (i have 4-ext touch recovery) and started installing. After it finished, the phone rebooted and then got stuck on the white HTC screen. I managed to enter the recovery again and restore the original firmware again. What is that I'm doing wrong here? Here is some helpful info:
Rogers EVO 3D, GSM version
Unlocked bootloader (HTCDEV method), S-ON
carrier unlocked
HBOOT 1.49.0008
OS is rooted
I'm in the same boat but I'm not able to do a recovery. I went through the update process and when the phone rebooted it got stuck on the white htc screen. I can get it into the bootloader menu but when i choose recovery it starts but then i get an error with a pic of the device and the red yield sign. If i choose factory reset it just gets stuck at the white htc. I read some other posts and I saw that having an unlocked bootloader may cause issues with updates so that may be your issue as for me, I'm not sure what I can do. I may just need the actual update file to redo the update but I'm not sure where to find it.
Same here, but I don't get half way through the ota update before I see the red triangle and exclamation mark. Phone will boot into stock recovery (which I would assume you need instead of modded recovery) and the update starts, but doesn't complete. I pull the battery and the phone boots up normally. Just can't seem to get through the update. Could be something to do with being s-off I would guess.

Same problem but whit s-off
I have been predicting that this would happen... ICS failures with non-standard HBOOTs. Good luck.
Probably will have to wait for an RUU or custom.
I'd recommend using the GB ruu to get you back to full stock. Always found Rogers ota updates (possibly all carriers?) won't install if you're rooted or using a custom recovery.
I had to install the ruu via renaming the rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip and copying it to the sd card so that the bootloader would auto flash it. Running the ruu exe tossed up all kinds of errors.
It will put everything back to Rogers stock. After that just setup wifi and do the 2 Rogers OTA updates.
Once in ICS, it's easy peasy to get recovery and root back.
Also, for what it's worth, Go Backup is awesome for going rom to rom and not needing a full backup. Use it on rooted rom, then use it to restore after rooting new rom. Will do all your apk's and everything.
1st post here after years of lurking. Yay.

Alright thanks a lot
Just an update on what I did. I was able to reload the stock gb rom for rogers using the exe file, then I went through the 2 updates that came up when checking and ics is now up and running on my phone. However in my attempts of trying to fix the original problem, I managed to re-lock my bootloader before flashing to stock rom and I had s-on the whole time. hope this help.
i switched to stock like.. a week back?
jus got ota on 4th
i WAS rooted and using juopunutbear's hboot *u can jus get the hboot from their website*
so i jus flashed back stock recovery.. and updated.. and success.. lost root though.. and i was back to stock bootloader..
used the PG86IMG with juopunutbear's bootloader and 4ext recovery.. and flashed cwm supersu.. v0.91 i think.. i dunno.. latest one.. and bam.. im on stock.. rooted.. and works perfectly..
Possible sollution
Maybe try flashing one of the customized ROMs that are based on the latest OTA update. I'm sure Anryl's newest rom is blazing-fast and stable. You can find it in the gsm android development forum and flash it via recovery. Make sure you have the latest 4ext recovery installed, though.
where can a i find that stock rogers rom i modified mine and that might be the reason i get a security failure in hboot. s is on. when i run the ruu file in windows to downgrade i get error 155. when i run the the update from about phone. it locks up with blue android guy and yellow exclamation mark. i remove the battery and she boots fine with no changes.
I am trying to do same. Get stuck on HTC screen. I have S-ON. Was on cobra 2.4 prior.
If anyone can give details on how to fix it, it would be great! Please no saying "install exe". I need to know which exe etc.
just wanted to tell everyone that in order for the ota update to work properly, you need to be running stock unrooted firmware with a locked bootloader. Just relock your bootloader, reinstall the stock firmware, upgrade to ics via ota, then re-unlock and re-root.
Hi
I have a HTC EVO 3D from Rogers that was got messed up during changing networks... rooted the phone for no apparent reason... to now get a update for it for ics from the provider and it bricked the phone.
It's stuck at HTC boot screen, can get fastboot USB from bootloader. recovery gets a ! in a triangle and factory reset doesn't work, freezes at splash screen after restarting the phone. Was stupid not making a backup or searching for programs to back it up before I went ahead and clicked update
It has HTC boot-loader 1.49 s-on but is rooted.
I am looking for clear(fix my evo for dummies) step by step instructions with correct installation for my model of phone, HTC EVO 3D Rogers GSM, or anything that could replace the os to get my phone to be useful again I'm currently using my backup phone a HTC G1 HTC ftw
Try kingcobra's rom, ota from rogers will not boot due to the fact that your phone is rooted, kingcobra's rom is based on rogers ota, flash it and leave it.

Go to the gsm development forum and download the RUU for the phone, and restore it to stock unrooted OS. Before you do that though, make sure that your phone's BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. Look up how to re-lock your bootloader. After you relock your bootloader, you can proceed with restoring the phone.
Soooo.... basically, what I'm getting from this is, if you like having a locked bootloader, CWM and root, don't bother trying to install this OTA update because it's a headache. Agree?
The phone's not mine, it's my wife's, and she doesn't want anything special or like the idea of me messing around in her phone.
I was about to install this late last night, just about to hit that button, then I thought, "what about the bootloader? what about root? what about the fact that it's now unlocked and being used on a carrier other than Rogers?"
Hey people,
since HTC released their new update I tried to install it on my device.
Unfortunately my phone doesn't boot anymore.
So I'm stuck at the "HTC"- welcome (boot) screen.
Some specs about my phone:
HTC EVO 3d - X515m >GSM<
HBOOT 1.49.0018
S-On with HTC unlocked.
4EXT Recovery (CWM didn't work)
-Updated with the Systemupdate.
Greetings
You have to relock your bootloader and use an ruu to go back to stock before you can take the official OTA.
I've went back to stock (Relocked) and I have not found a method to flash to the new ICS. This phone is not on the Sprint network.
Any solutions other than S-OFF?
I just rooted my mother's phone and was going to flash a custom ROM, when she took the OTA and ended in the same result, locked at htc boot screen. I relocked the phone via fastboot and flashed a stock gingerbread rom via USB to get the phone running again. I'm now taking the OTA update of ICS for her. I'll try to unlock her on the other side.
Thanks,
I figured it out.
The needed to upgrade to ICS final is to "Relock" then take the OTA after connecting to the Internet..
I used WiFi for the download.

So while I had my HTC One, I converted it to the Google Play Edition for stock Android. I'm now trying to sell it after getting my Nexus 5, so I restored the CID to stock (CWS__001), removed the tampered heading, returned hboot to 1.44, locked the bootloader (while setting the heading to 'locked' instead of 'relocked'), and return the phone to S-ON. I installed RUU version 1.26.502.12 and it worked without a problem, so it's now COMPLETELY stock.
Problem is, I KNOW there are updates, since the phone is only on 4.1.2, but it refuses to see them when I run AT&T Software Update, and I'm trying to figure out why (also plugged in my SIM card again, to try to run the OTA).
Yo need stock recovery for OTA

Phone is currently on stock recovery. After putting everything back to completely stock (which required root and TWRP) I installed the RUU again, to put EVERYTHING back to stock, including the recovery.
Well, I don't know why it didn't see the update earlier, but I checked again this morning (had to roll the phone date a day forward to allow another check) and it successfully saw and downloaded. Looks like I was just being impatient...
