[Q] Install AT&T OTA Update with unlocked bootloader?

So I'm wanting to install the OTA ICS update but it fails and I get the little red exclamation point when I try.. I am assuming this is because my bootloader is unlocked? I've been trying to find a way to install it but the only one I found was one requiring S-OFF which I don't have..
So basically my question is can I install ICS on my rooted unlocked bootloader?
If absolutely necessary I can always lock it, install, then re unlock it but that's such a pain.. AT&T gets on my nerves sometimes..

I am almost positive that you have to do the re-lock process unless somehow they found another way. You should probably read around next time. Most likely, someone has already asked your question.

I've read quite a few threads but haven't been able to find anything.. and like I said, I did find one but it requires S-OFF and the juniper thing, or whatever to lazy to look up the name right now lol, is not released yet.. and I haven't been able to find another way to get S-OFF..

If you want ics that bad you have to do it like every one else here...there is no reason to whine cause your to lazy to relock the bootloader ..it take all of about three mins for me to relock mine ... and about 20 min to do the whole process...you don't need s off to get ics if your using the vivid or velocity. there's no place for lazy people here so please just do it like ever one else or do with out

I'm fully aware you don't NEED S-OFF to get ICS its the only way I have found to do it with an unlocked bootloader if you even bothered to read my post. And if your going to be rude and unhelpful stay out of my thread, people like you are why forums loose members. I simply asked a question I never said I was lazy and wouldn't do it I was simply looking for an easier alternative.

The S-OFF is obviously a mistake, because if it was S-OFF then you wouldn't have to do fastboot oem lock.
Yes, you have to relock the bootloader. Make sure you kept your unlock_code.bin or else you might not be able to unlock the bootloader again.
To be extra safe you should flash stock recovery before you do anything.

Quick question going along with this, it may be stupid, I just wanted to make sure before I try anything: I'm currently on RumRaider and I want to switch to ICS. If I were to revert to stock and relock and then do the OTA update to ICS from AT&T, can I still get root with the same zergrush application or whatever that I used before?

Your best bet is to relock the boot loader then run the ruu for the vivid then re unlock and do your flashes

Hmm well OTA still kept failing for me, even after relocking the bootloader.. I ended up having to download the RUU from HTC Support and install it through my computer using HTC Sync.. which kinda sucked but it still at least installed ICS..

There are plenty of options out there. Since you now have an updated HBOOT, flash a recovery image and CWM a rooted stock ROM.

Thanks for the help guys. I relocked the bootloader and ran the RUU, then did the OTA. After that I used the noob proof tool thing in the dev forums and installed the WCX recovery and then rooted with the same tool as well. Currently typing on it, and loving it!

I was on stock ICS and was trying to root after unlocking my bootloader. I found that ROM developer pirateghost has a rooted OTA ICS ROM image you can flash. I was having he|| rooting my Vivid. I flashed his ROM and got what I needed. My Vivid rooted and still on ICS.
You can find it on goo.im here goo.im/devs/pirateghost/vivid

Nice! Wish I found that earlier, right now I am probably going to use WhildChilds ROM since he has put so much into it and over clocked the kernel..

[Q] HTC One M7 EE/T-Mobile/Orange UK Semi Bricked

All,
I am pulling my hair out, I decided to root my phone today so I could delete the default APN's, I have tried CWM and also TWRP.
All was fine, as soon as I installed Busybox something went horribly wrong, my phone will not boot up and just displays the "HTC Logo" I can get to the boot menu and boot to either CWM or TWRP. However there is nothing I can do within there, I cannot find a RUU for my model (CID is Orange) I have found a nandroid backup but CWM/TWRP refuses to see it via OTG and I have tried lots of USB Sticks.
I really do not know what to do next, I cannot turn S-OFF as HBOOT is 1.54
What can I do, I have read thread after thread.
Is there a default recovery.img or one for my carrier as I cannot find it.
Many thanks,
Dale

Managed to restore a nandroid, but I have no touch screen!
Tried clearing cache etc, have currently got a mouse plugged in to it to control it, there is an OTA available so going to try that.

Don't try it with a custom recovery. You'll need to relock your bootloader too.
No touchscreen is a firmware issue. The nandroid you restored will be an old one not compatible with the latest firmware..

Just for now for the sake of getting a working phone I would just flash a 4.2.2 stock ROM, or Sense-based Rom. You'll need to unlock your bootloader again obviously.

Thanks for the reply, was up till 3am trying to get around this and got it going eventually.
That's what I have done for now, I sideloaded a stock Sense ROM which came with a stock recovery.img, guess I have to wait for a S-OFF for 1.54 if it ever happens.

[Q]Possible to revert to stock - HTC One Three UK

Hi There,
After just recently switching to Android I have been having great fun customising my phone in ways I could never with my iPhone.
I currently running the latest release of TWRP Recovery and Using the Android Revolution HD ROM.
While there is currently nothing wrong with my phone I was just wondering what my options are in terms of going as far back to stock as I can.
Being 1.54 I understand I will always have re-locked on my device until an exploit is found or if I fancied shelling out for a Java Card.
In the popular RUU, OTA, etc thread under the Nandroid section is a recovery which would be compatible with my CID.
M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID H3G__001 / 1.28.771.x
If I was to flash CVM and then proceed to restore this back and then flash the included recovery.img to my device 1. Would it work in the first place and 2. Would I be able to remove the Tampered warning.
Tbh I'm not overly worried about the warrenty. Espically being in the UK and our law covering things like this. But none the less I like being able to go down the simple root (See what I did there ) if I have to return the device.
Many Thanks and sorry for the noob question.
Syther101

1. Yes it should work
2. No it won't
You might also run into issues as you have 4.2.2 FW and will end up with a 4.1.2 ROM which might lead to touchscreen problems

Thanks for the reply Eddy. Yeah I was afraid of the touchscreen issue. Will have to have a tinker around when I get time.
From what I have read I was under the impression when you put the stock recovery abd stock ROM back on the device abd relocked the bootloader the tampered message would go.
Guess not then. Best just hope I don't have to return the device or wait for a new s-off
Thanks again

[Q] My HTC ONE (THREE UK Network) Stuck on Android 4.2.2 Can anyone help?

Hi Guys,
I rooted my HTC One previously but I wanted to update my phones android software so I can't much remember what I did, but
I tried to unroot it to get back to stock but I don't think I did this successfully.
My HTC One android version is 4.2.2
HTC Sense version is 5.0
am i right in thinking there are more up to date versions on the three UK network for my HTC ONE? But every time
i click check for software updates on my phone there aren't any that appear??
I'm really new to this, thank god i didn't brick my phone when i first rooted it, if i could i'd love to get
back to stock but I tried with no success, i really want to have an updated phone without having to
mess around with it anymore.
I believe i have attached an image more more information such as my baseband and kernel version.
could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to go back to stock so i can receive
updates without these issues. Thanks in advance guys
Kind regards

If I was you I would look to s-off your device, that way you can always have the latest rom version from XDA you can sometimes wait a long time for Networks to release the latest version to update over the air.
There are some very nice stock roms out there but if you don't wait to take the risk you need to unroot, restore stock recovery and relock your device I believe.
If you had made a nandroid backup before rooting you could have restored to the nandroid stock rom and simply restored the recovery and relocked.

[Q] Help switching to stock recovery

I Recently Bought an Htc one (M7) {running android 4.3} from an electronics shop well 4.4 Kitkat Just came out so I was all excited to update to check out all the changes... sadly I was mistaken. The previous owner had tried to root the phone so im stuck with a phone that is "Tampered" "Unlocked"
with "s-on" not to bad right? well the recovery on the phone is Team win project recovery... and the phone is not rooted
I want to return the phone to stock or at least beable to get normal ota updates
Can some one give me a detailed step by step walkthrough of how to switch the phones recovery back to stock im not very tech savy in this field

Its a Tmobile phone is there one for tmobile?
and doesnt that require s-off?
well the ruu I tried wouldnt even run on my Laptop

There are some T-Mobile RUU's. Check the T-Mobile forum. Specifically this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496074
Me personally I would check to see what HBOOT version is on there and if it's lower than 1.57, go S-OFF before doing anything else. Then just use TWRP to flash a stock or stock-ish 4.4 ROM and never mind OTA's.

Thank you guys im looking further into it. Does the phone need to be rooted to flash a rom or just have the bootloader unlocked?

For kit Kat it needs to be s-OFF. Let's get that out of the way first.
And some s-OFF methods require a rooted ROM to work as I recall. So it's already getting complicated.
But a typical custom Rom doesn't *need* root, in fact after flashing you will discover it *gives* you root.
Going that route requires work and some reading. Then again, getting an RUU to run successfully does too.
Basically the situation you''re in is not horrible, but to go all the way forward (S-OFF Kit Kat with ability to do anything you want in the future) or all the way back (totally locked down stock system capable only of accepting OTA's ) will require work either way.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

So basicaly it may be simpler if I...
1 s-off
2 download rom
2.5 put on phone memory
3 go to team win recovery
4 Click install and choose said rom?
is that the basics of it?
if I want the least amount of trouble?

Also I guess what makes this most confusing for me is the non stock recovery
and to use fire water for the s-off I need to remove htc sync from the phone?
I feel im doing more work and stressing than i should be?
Yes Im quite Noobish..

Pretty much yes.
There could be adventures along the way, but I think this outcome would position you well for the future.
The biggest question is how old is your HBOOT.
There is no S-OFF for 1.57 and existing exploits for 1.56 don't always work.
If you can get S-OFF, you can do anything, including a) destroying your phone by mistake; b) changing your mind later and going back to S-ON; and, my personal favorite, c) destroying your phone in the act of trying to go back to S-ON (due to modified/ damaged HBOOT partition).
If you can't get S-ON, well, see if you can get back to stock.
Occasionally you are truly stuck and can neither go forward nor backward.
Which in your case is not so bad. 4.3 works great. Honestly plenty of people here are trying to go *back* to 4.3 after trying 4.4.
With S-OFF you can always do that. S-ON, not so much..
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Yeah.. now i have a pretty blue screen that once every 10 minutes or so will flash the google logo so yup bricked...

That would qualify as an "adventure". Still, it sounds like something less than "bricked".
See if you can enter HBOOT (hold down volume-down and power buttons for a few seconds or if you're in a boot loop , just hold down volume-down as phone is booting up).
If so, you can select fastboot and you should have the option to power down. That should give the battery a rest and give you time to think.
At some point you need to have the android tools fastboot and adb set up on your computer.
When you do, enter HBOOT, select fastboot (with phone plugged into computer via USB) and run the command fastboot getvar all.
Post the results here.
The first post of this thread doesn't really contain enough detail for others to help you otherwise.
