You will receive the OTA but it won't apply since since you are on TWRP. You will need stock recovery in order for the OTA to flash.

If you end up installing Nik's ROM , then you will not get OTA updates. If you are looking to not void your warranty, then downgrading your hboot and using Revolutionary is the safer of your 2 options. If you use HTCDEV.com to unlock your bootloader, HTC will know that you have modded your phone and in fact you must acknowledge to them that you are modding your phone.
With Revolutionary S-OFF as long as your phone is operational and you can get into HBOOT, then you could return to stock for warranty purposes.

Thanks man and If I only want to install CWM then even I have to do S-OFF and downgrade my Hboot.
Just One more thing that If I downgrade my HBoot then I get the ICS OTA update or not?

No on the OTA because during the downgrade process you will be installing an older RUU/ROM and you will end up with a phone that has a custom HBOOT image and a custom Recovery image, so you won't be able to take the ICS OTA.

Hmm, So there is no way to unlock HBoot 2.0 without downgrade.
and even if I downgrade after getting ICS then again I have to downgrade and have to lost the stock ICS ROM right??
Man there is no way that I just get the CWM & Root access without downgrading my HBoot??

Yes, you can unlock your HBOOT using the procedure at HTCDEV.com and then you can install CWM and root the ROM, but it will void your warranty.

Once the update is out we will have full working custom roms (I think we already do, sense 3.5 or 3.6, not too sure??) so no need to stress about the ota
Or wait for update, root phone and make a nandroid backup. You will then have a copy of your ota update.

[Q] How can I install the OTA?

Hi
I have a European HTC One, with stock HTC HBOOT 1.54.
TWRP 2.6.3.0
And I flashed a pure GPE 4.3 ROM with no root.
Like many people I got the last OTA notification.
When I try to install it. It gets stuck at the end of the reboot countdown (in the system).
Can I do this security update?
Maybe by doing it through TWRP? It is a minor update so it should be OK, no?
Thanks for your help.
You need the stock recovery to flash the OTA

You mean the HTC stock recovery or the GPE stock recovery?
GPe, you can get it in the GPe RUU thread

I put the Stock GPE recovery. No change. It still gets stuck at the end of the reboot countdown (in the system).
Can't I install the update with another method?
Nope. You could download the OTA file, copy it to the internal memory and flash it from the stock recovery manually and see if that works. Worked fine for me the other day (but I've since gone back to Sense)

[Q] Will I loose S-OFF after flashing stock RUU?

I want to get back to stock FW via RUU, then install all OTAs to get newest firmware on the phone.
Since i've read, that there's currently no s-off for newer HBOOTs, I have to ask, to be sure:
Will flashing stock RUU preserve S-OFF, or will i have to it again after flashing?
Second question:
I have superCID, is it enough to get all OTAs? Or should i update firmware other way?
Thanks for replies!

You will keep s-off. Personally I would just find the ruu.zip that you want to update to and flash it via fastboot. Its hella faster. To hell with OTAs....

T Mobile Update To 4.4.2 with S-OFF?

My phone right now is unlocked and with s-off. I was thinking I could relock the bootloader and run RUU to go back to complete stock (with S-OFF). My question is can I install the tmo update with S-OFF? Has anyone done this before? Or do I have to go back to S-ON in order to install the update?
I know that rumrunner does not work with HBOOT 1.56.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, thank you.

don't think S-OFF or unlocked matters, just stock rom and recovery required
if i run RUU will that give me stock recovery?

If you have a ruu for your currently installed rom, you can extract the recovery from the zip and install.
Otherwise

Pick the one that matches your current rom version

My phone is unlocked/S-OFF. On the previous OTA updates, all I had to do was reflash the stock recovery and the updates proceeded normally, installed just fine. On this new OTA update to 4.4.2, however, that didn't work. I tried relocking the bootloader, flashed the stock recovery... nothing worked (it would get the red slash during the recovery part of the OTA update). Evidently, T-Mobile/HTC are now much more picky about modified devices.
So, to get the OTA to work, I had to run the last RUU from T-Mobile. That, of course, wiped my phone clean, but installed a locked fresh 4.3.1 ROM (still S-OFF). Then the OTA update ran perfectly, resulting in the 4.4.2 OS installed. Then I unlocked it, flashed TWRP recovery and rooted it. It's working beautifully.

Help with updating form 4.06.651.4 to Lollipop

I am running 4.06.651.4 and I want to update to the latest stock firmware (Lollipop). I was wondering how I can do this and without using a RUU or OTA. I would like to keep the option to be able to downgrade back to 4.06.651.4. I have updated before and been able to go back. I have an unlocked bootloader and Supersu. I am unable to get s-off.
Thanks
