Hi All,
I need help for the following issue,
today i got notified by my incredible S that a software update is available,
I accepted and downloads starts, finished, choose install and the system checked the downloaded package, then phone rebooted to start the installation, then a blue android logo appear on the screen along with "!" inside a triangle, and phone was stuck on this for more then an hour before i took out the battery and restarted it and it is now back normal but on 2.3.5
anyone faced this matter and found a solution???
the phone is rooted, unlocked bootloader via HTCDEV website, and all the crappy HTC application uninstalled including htc sense and everything.
any help will be very appreciated,
thanks.
Problem solved:
-relock the bootloader:fastboot oem lock

OK, so if you have modded the stock ROM by removing HTC applications and Sense, then that is why the OTA update failed.
To accept and install the OTA you must have all the stock components in place, HBOOT, recovery and all the apps.
Download the stock ice ruu exe from the thread listing in the dev section.
Make a goldcard and then install.
Remember this method I think will work with a compleatly stock phone meaning s-on locked bootloader, no root and no custom recovery. Do this at your own risk. I have a inc s with cid 38, It worked for me.

i have checked your suggested rom but it seems not to work with my S ON hboot version
would it help if i do the following?:
restore all the stock application from titanium backup
and then try to accept the OTA update?
or as naathaanb96 suggested to simply unroot, lock bootloader?
i have tried to unroot using htc tool V3 with no luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114

As the previous poster suggested, just relock the bootloader and then run the official ICS RUU using a goldcard.
Then since you have unlocked your bootloader before, you can simply use the same unlock_code.bin to unlock the ICS bootloader and then you can add a custom recovery and root the system.
I've got an Incredible S with me here with Bootloader version 2.02.0000 and official ICS installed (upgraded OTA from GB around 4 months back). I unlocked the bootloader through the HTC Dev site. Every thing went smooth. Next, i flashed a custom recovery (CWM v 5.0.2.) and then the Superuser zip file i found one of the related Incredible S threads. I proceeded to flash the device with a JB ROM (after duly wiping data and cache on the phone) and it went well along with flashing of the gapps package. When rebooting after the procedure was done, the phone remained stuck on the startup HTC white screen. I tried waiting for 10-20 minutes but there was no change. I was (and still am) able to boot into CWMR and hence also tried re-flashing to no avail. Please note that I did not take a nandroid backup (Quite stupid to do so now that i look back) and hence not able to restore. Tried searching for an RUU of the official ICS by HTC for this phone but could not find one. Tried one from HTC's site (Asia specific RUU) but it gave an error saying i had the wrong RUU file for my phone. Also, my phone is S-ON.
I would request members to please point me to the correct sources for the solution of my situation. Please tell me how should i go about from here.
TIA

Many thanks for your reply! I got the solution after i posted here after a bit more searching around the different threads. I did the exact same thing mentioned by Drugzy below an hour back. Got the device to boot and was running JB with HBOOT version 2.02.000 and S-ON. Later, went ahead with the guide to S-OFF using revolutionary and it was a success as well. Currently running JB with HBOOT version 1.13 and S-OFF .

Good you got it sorted. S off is much better IMO as you can flash new radios if desired and ROMs are easier to flash etc. Happy romming

I have always been a fan and user of Nexus devices, and I was waiting for Nexus 5 to come out but then eventually I chosen HTC One over the Nexus. I bought the unlocked version of HTC One from Amazon. The Phone came with 4.2 but I received the 4.3 OTA update.
The bootloader shows that the phone is locked and S-ON.
My questions are; will unlocking the bootloader wipe everything -used to do so with the Nexus? If it does wipe everything; will the software version remain 4.3 or a downgrade to 4.2 takes place?
Also, would converting S-ON to S-OFF wipe anything?
The warranty is not an issue here for me.
Another question; I've Googled everywhere and to change the lock screen setting was through Settings>Personalize>Lock screen. The look screen is non existent under "Personalize" in my phone. A screenshot is attached.
Thanks in advance!
Unlocking the bootloader via htcdev.com will wipe your data, but the system will stay on 4.3.
Probably you have hboot version 1.54 or 1.55, so you will have to use rumrunner to get S-Off. Doing that will not wipe anything.
The personalize options for the lockscreen are gone with Sense 5.5 / Android 4.3.
They simply removed that.
But you can now scroll to the right on your lockscreen to add lockscreen widgets. (Multiple pages, not just one like before the 4.3 update).

One last question, can I unlock, S-OFF, and root without installing a custom recovery -keeping my stock recovery?
In theory that should be possible, but Im not sure to be honest.
Flashing clockworkmod recovery was the first thing I did after unlocking via htcdev...

Hi the answer is yes and no.
Depends on your usage.
Leaving stock recovery installed to be honest doesn't really have any benefits and 9 times out of ten s-off removes the feature to recieve OTA updates.
Your best option to be honest is to s-off using rummrunner and install firmware and rom you want. If you dont want to modify anything on the phone then there is no point in achieving s-off as you can risk hard bricking your device.
Any Questions Give me a shout.

Hey no your going to need to flash custom recovery I'm afraid there is no one click method for HTC one. So your going to need to flash custom recovery to allow any form of rooting as you need to flash the superuser repository onto your phone you can't simply just intstall the all and hope for the best.
Wouldn't bother with gpe either.
Been there done that it's crap.
All the things that make this phone good come from HTC sense.
And again unless you have any actual need to flash any custom roms to the phone I would hold off rooting or s-off on your phone. Most people loose the ability to OTA update and also htcdev collect the imei of your phone invalidating the warranty.
And there is absolutely no way to root without unlocking boot.
Hope this helps Kris

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.
Hi all, back to an Android phone after a long time. It's a pre owned HTC M7 Sprint. I have received the Official 4.4.3 and sense 6 update, however, before proceeding wanted to ask fro help. Will updating make me lose root? Or S-Off?

As a general rule, you need stock recovery and stock rom to successfully execute the OTA update. So you will loose root but you should retain S-OFF.

How did you get an OTA 4.4.3 M7 Sprint update? When did it go out?
Like I said I'm new to all of this and could have made a mistake. The update is for sense 6, unsure about the rest. Advise now would be helpful.

As far as I know, the OTA 4.4.3 hasn't been sent out yet for the Sprint HTC One (M7). My understanding is it should be released any day now.
