I too flashed the OTA( 2.3.4), I wasn't rooted or unlocked when i did it. will there be a way to get the official version when released on my device?
(didn't know if i had to start another thread since OP already started it)

Since it hasn't come out yet, no one knows if ota 2.34 we flashed will accept official updates properly. But if that's the case devs will definitely figure out ways to extract the files needed to install them either through fastboot or cwm most likely. You'll want to be unlocked and rooted.

looks like i'm out of luck with the unlocking and rooting since it requires me to RSD flash to a different rom prior to updateing to 2.34 when they are saying it causes bricks. guess i'll wait for the official att and see if we can do the same update setup over the beta..love it though..just hate the fact my signal keeps going white then blue...any way thanks
Been reading over at Mik of a lot of EVO LTE getting bricked trying to go back to old saved back up any one here and if so what was the steps ?
I know more than one of us bricked trying to flash the older firmware after flashing the new firmware.
I should have made a thread dedicated to the issue rather than just a post in the update thread....could have saved a lot of eVos

How do I avoid brick?
Stay off new firmware? I am currently rooted via zedomax and s-off via lazy panda.
I downloaded the latest radio and PRI from Capt. Throwback but haven't flashed them yet.

Just don't try and flash the older firmware after flashing the new one.

I'm planning to hold off an updating to the latest firmware until I flash a ROM that's based on the latest software version. If you're running a ROM with an older base, using the latest firmware could cause compatibility issues, and since downgrading could brick the phone, you'd be stuck. Unless you're experiencing connection problems, I don't think there's much reason to risk it.

Yup. Bricked here. Tried to reflash the last firmware because I had no service ay all after flashing the latest. I actually had service on aosp toms but nothing on sense. I really didn't think I was taking much of a risk being s-off
Edit. Just browsed the forum, brick threads all over the place. Most of these ppl are able to access bootloader/recovery. NOT BRICKED.
A brick is totally unresponsive

I had an honest-to-goodness brick from downgrading firmware. No bootloader, no recovery, no charging light, no combinations of buttons worked, cpu in Qualcomm download mode, but lazy panda unbricker couldn't find it.

If you installed the latest OTA, it's not a good idea to flash to an older version so you can root. You're likely to brick the phone.
Sucks, cause I wanted to flash CM10 once the camera was fixed, but looks like I gotta wait til a workaround is invented.

The issue is firmware, not software.
You can still install whatever ROM/ROM version you want.

what about doing the reverse? keeping the older firmware but installing a ROM based on the newer?

I just got s-off through lazy panda yesterday and installed twrp, now I wanna install synergy rom but it is based off the newest ota base, while I of course have the 1.13.651.1 base. Can i still install this rom and will it function as it should? Do I need to find some modified RUU that will give me the latest OTA without losing s-off?

Just install the ROM.
If you want to update your firmware, that's separate.

So just to be clear, ROM's never include firmware (except for maybe official OTA updates)?
According to this, "a phone’s firmware is basically its operating system." So do ROMs depend on a certain "operating system" to function properly? If I have a ROM that was built on an older firmware, does that mean it may not function properly with the newer one? But this won't brick a phone, just maybe make the ROM not function (but you can still flash a different one)?

yeah bricked mine to i think but ubuntu is recognizing mine in download mode when i plug in to cpu it says it is in QHSUSB_Dload has anyone figured a way to unbrick from here
Try the unbrick tool in the lazy panda thread, its for a very specific kind of brick but it may work
Say I'm running MDK 4.2.2, I have a custom recovery installed, and then 4.3 comes out. Could I just wait for a dev to release their own flashable version of TouchWiz 4.3 with the unlocked bootloader and MDK baseband? Or would it not be the same as updating to 4.3 OTA (so, would the update not be as "good")? Sorry if this is a really noob question. Thanks!

Never take an update from Samsung/Verizon. At least as long as we have developer support just wait for a flashable ROM to be released.
BTW - the baseband is not relevant on this issue. You can flash a new radio if you choose. I've seen no reason to but many have.

Can't I do something like this - http://goo.gl/9d9Xoo??
I read on in other forums that updating to the latest version of CWM will also fix the issue, but ROM manager says that the latest model is not compatible with One Max!

There is no 4.4.2 for HTC One Max yet only HTC One which is NOT going to work on your device. Give it a couple more weeks.

Must be International?? According to HTC neither Sprint nor Verizon has been released yet: http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/
If this is the case than sacthegreat is going to need to flash stock rom in order to successfully receive the update.

Yep...his home country is India. Sounds like his biggest prob is the custom recovery he's trying to flash the ota with.
Can't wait for the ota to land stateside

yup.. .got the OTA for my T6UL today morning. It downloaded alright, but couldn't install. Guess I will revert to stock recovery and check. Need to research now as to how to install stock recovery,
and if that will remove my root or S-off!!

Updating will most assuredly remove your root but it's not a huge deal to re-root. It won't change your s-off. Hopefully you did a full Nandroid before you installed your custom rom, It will only take you a couple steps and a few minutes to get back to where you started. If not you will have to hunt down the stock rom and flash, which shouldn't be all that difficult either. Whichever you end up doing, I would perform a fresh titanium backup of JUST your apps. This way you can get right back to where you are after you update! Good luck

Verizon could be out any day. Sprint probably a few more weeks
I'm not a staff so I have no idea about release date
but HTC just declared the future products and including last year New One series have 2 years update support, I guess US carrier will release it soon, the KitKat now is standing at front of a door, shouting "LET ME OUT!" =P

you are trying to install the official update via custom recovery? I bet this won't work ( tell me if I'm wrong, new to One max )
find the stock recovery, flash it, then let the phone install it itself.
I met the same error when I using older HTC phones, too.

You need stock recovery for T6UL that you can find in CWM thread.
its so easy to flash it, just in case... fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I suspect the device needs to be LOCKED for the OTA to be applied. That can be done from Scotty's thread or mostly you are already locked.
You can be S-OFF, nothing to worry about.
Try keep OTA keeper or Superuser's keep root option during OTA. - This mostly might not work because the OTA methods have improved on security, however worth a try.
Unlock immediately after OTA and then ROOT and install the SD card read/write MOD
Backup CWM and upload for us
Thank you!
Hey Guys,
I have an unbranded HTC Amaze(Asian Version), s-on and rooted, recently I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 10 on it using 4ext, it flashed fine, but after starting, it kept hanging and rebooting, so I researched a bit and found out that my firmware is still the old gingerbread one, and to upgrade it I would have to turn s-off first.
However, I found a stock T-mobile Gingerbread ROM ,and flashed it its working fine now, and the it also allows me to update the system to ICS officially using the update available.
But my question is that if I update my android officially using the ICS update available, would it update my kernel as well? So I may be able to flash custom ICS roms on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thnx
Yes, it'll upgrade the software, kernel, and radio. But it's not recommended to do.
There's a link to the guide to upgrade the Asian amaze in the OP of the viper thread.
Follow the guide and read it thoroughly first.
Afaik you should use the guide and it'll then you'll be good!

Alright but as Im not using the stock RUU anymore, but the T-mobile one, so would I be able to turn S-off ? because I read that stock RUU is a must if u want to go s-off?
