If you're rooted and/or have a custom ROM, you can restore to stock using this: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unroot
I need to get back to 1.6. I have installed 1.0, and with this can I go back to 1.6?

this guide shows how to root and unroot g1 and has update.zip files for 1.5 and 1.6 on bottom of OP
if u are on 1.0...u need to root ur device...do it the telnet way...then u have to install a custom recovery image...and flash donut(1.6)....
Does it matter how many times you go back to original firmware?
It shouldn't matter how many times u go back, if its rooted go to the recovery menu and have the firmware downloaded to the root of ur sd card then just install it from there or if u have a backup file from before try that out bro

Guys, he speaks about official OTA updates (Over The Air), did you read OP first?

I understand, but this happened to me before, it was because I have rooted my device. Try installing from PC with PC Companion
I unlocked my bootloader without saving the TA partition, and because of that I cannot to OTA updates.

One of the benefits to being s-off is you don't have to take the OTA...you just flash the firmware and done.

i did that and then i was unable to take profile or prl updates :crying: it also didnt apear to have fixed the signal issue... i might not have waited enough... or it could have something to do with the unability to take prl and profile updates... anyhow ill try again from a diferent download see what happens
Did your baseband change? last four should be .0610.
If it did change then it's most likely a network issue.

Yes the baseband did change but the signal problem persists. i need to take the FULL ota to fix my phone (or install something else that will) regardless the radios alone aren't fixing the issue.
i tried flashing the rafios by themselves and it wouldnt update prl or profile; it also had the same signal issue. i tried the radios AND the new stock rom for it and same thing. i tried going back to stock and taking the ota and the ota wouldnt install.
Thoughs?
I'm the same root/s-off. I flash the h/k sound file did you find a way to install the latest ota update?
I cant figure out how to get the OTA either
I have S-Off im also rooted, and i have TWRP recovery, i can't get the zip to flash. I was thinking about doing a stock root recovery using the RUU, but then i thought if i do that, would i still be able to reroot using the same method? so my question is, how can i flash this zip and keep my root? or should do a stock recovery from the RUU and update and wait for another root? if any devs read this, i'd really like your help please and thank you. I currently have the stock rom with just root access and S-Off.no custom roms on here.
man.. i have the same problem bro.. smh.. hey man keep me posted if something comes up

You have to have stock recovery to take the update, which means you have to flash stock recovery first and then take the update, then repeat the rooting process.

you should at least have seen a green arrow circle and/or a red triangle with a "!" in the middle. if you saw the triangle that is recovery trying and failing to update. at this point if you press and releast volumeup+power it should bring up the text of what it did.

Whenever I used to try to update my phone from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4, my phone would say the installation was interrupted, and kies would say my firmware is up to date. At the time I didnt care much, but now that 5.0 is out, I want to figure this out. When I got my phone in September I flashed the original software to root, then reflashed 4.4.2. Since then I unrooted and restores my phone to try and resolve the problem, but neither have helped. Does anyone know a solution? If any more information is needed I can definitely provide it.

Then downloaded the nce to ng3 ota file and sideloaded and flashed in stock recovery after that I have been able to download and update via the ota. hope this helps
doing that process
I can manage the first flash but I'm not really that good at this so how would I go about doing that second flash?

You need to place the update file on your ext sdcard then boot into stock recovery and update from ext sdcard.

Last questions are how to go into stock recovery and once I do that its all normal again?
How to boot Samsung Galaxy S5 Recovery Mode:
Power off your device completely.
Boot recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power, all at the same time.
Release all buttons when the Galaxy S5 screen flickers and the main Recovery screen will appear.
Once I updated to ng3 through the stock recovery I was able to take the ota updates for 4.4.4 and 5.0 normally.
Thanks, I'm going to try this now. Hope I don't lose any data!

Back up your data

You are welcome.
I tried the instructions in that thread but I get an error when I try to install the first update.
The error mentions unexpected contents
What I did is copy the file to the SD card, booted into recovery and then selected install from external
What did I do wrong?
Hi there. Thank you so much for this. Question is that I am already on NG3 and I still dont have the update option! Would I need to go to OA1 one? Which I believe is 4.4.4? Then get the update for lollipop? A little confusion. And if that is the case, where can I get the file thing for OA1?

Did you do the downgrade to NCE through Odin first?
Yes I did. I tried it again and I see that I'm on NG3 now, I guess I have to do the other one Now.

You could always try sideloading the NG3 to OA1 update then flashing through stock recovery from the other thread I mentioned.
Well they released a new update. 147.652.2 anyone get it
for boost mobile too? cuz i havent gotten it yet
Yeah, I installed it, it was only bug fixes and it feels smoother

you can download the new update at http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-desire-510-boost/news/ ..... there are manually Installation instructions. i have not did this yet but if you do it right , you should be good to go. food for thought, you may have to flash stock back up to make this update happen and then re-flash back to your posion of choice ..... and yes the update would stick

yes you have to have a pc . Download the program and just follow the guide. Should be very simple . But you do need stock to get this update. After you are done flash back or just restore back-up

I checked the link and it is the old update from 12.17.2014 or 1.47.652.1. I couldn't find the newest update or anything from 2015 at all on the HTC site anywhere. I received the update today, 1.48.652.2 (30.68MB), but after it downloaded, restarted and tried to install, it gave me a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. Has anyone else seen this? (My bootloader is locked and I fully wiped my phone and sdcard before installing the Boost stock RUU so nothing should be interfering) I contacted HTC and they walked me through some steps to fix it, but eventually they told me to contact Boost. I didn't contact them yet, but Boost Zone says the system updates on my phone are up to date.
Please Help(boost)

My phone fails when I try to install the update, also. Is your bootloader locked? If it is unlocked, the RUU update will fail.

I wouldn't bother. I contacted HTC and Boost Mobile and they both said there is nothing they can do about it. I think some of us have to wait until 1.48.652.2 is actually on HTCs site and good to go to download. For now all I see is 1.47.652.1. I wonder why some people can download it perfectly and others can't. I even tried to manually install it through the stock recovery. It downloads to the Download folder and I thought it had to be on the root of the sdcard. I moved it to the root of my internal sdcard and tried to install and it failed. I used the "OTA_A11_CHL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.48.652.2-1.47.652.1_R_release_420824qapx9dhr8n40gasg.zip" name and even renamed it to update.zip like other HTC phones use. I extracted the recovery.img and tried to flash, thinking it would help for some reason, with no success. I tried all I can do with my knowledge on this subject. Either one of the geniuses on this site can help or we'll have to wait.
Red Triangle 10% into 1.48.652.2 on Boost. On stock locked 1.47.652.1.. Is this the Lolipop update? cause if it isn't i don't care about it. :silly:
Tried installing on fresh RUU on Boost mobile. Update fails everytime. I looked into the update zip. For 30 mbs its got a lot of stuff in it. It updates most of the system apps as well as gapps. also theres some new certs getting installed. Maybe its a prep update.

No it's not Lollipop, just security enhancements and bug fixes. I contacted HTC and Boost and there is nothing they can do at the moment about our problems with updating. I think we just have to wait until Lollipop comes out and they release an official RUU.
