Official OTA ICS update fails:

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
-create a gold card: http://androidforums.com/desire-s-all-things-root/500543-guide-how-create-goldcard.html
-download the ICS RUU suitable for your phone: http://d-h.st/users/Inferi0r/?fld_id=2601#files
-put the gold card in the phone then run the RUU
DONE

thanks for the link,
do you know if it works for
HBOOT-2.01.001
RADIO-3822.01.0814_M
S-ON
I can flash the image via fastboot as describe in the original thread of the rom
should i perform a factory reset, wipe data and dalvik before flashing?
thanks again
Edit: after searching the ROM thread, it will not work on HBOOT 2.01.001

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.

If just bootloader unlocked, you cant update the firmware nearly as easily with s-off (or maybe at all, im not sure) but definitely checking Mikes Firmware thread under Android Dev, and S-off Revone thread under Original Android Dev will help. Also, if you are superCID (which you should be and should do so if youre not) here are the instructions for updating FW while soff+superCID (attached as picture) and i can verify i have followed these steps myself and they work. Hope i helped. If not, ask more!

What would I have to do, to get the OTA with TWRP recovery?
Can you flash the stock recovery?

yes. You need to be on stock recovery to get the OTA applied

I just download latest firmware from - http://www.sammobile.com
Then I flash it to phone and then flash the recory again.

Assuming you are familiar with adv and fastboot and they are installed on your pc.
With phone in fastboot usb (connected to pc, ideally usb 2 and win 7)
If S off
Procedure for S off
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_firmware.zip
Then repeat above command as directed.
then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
All done !
***************************
If S on
then your cid and mid must exactly match those of firmware.
and your bootloader must be locked
Use
fastboot oem lock
Then follow procedure for S off as above

android update after rooting
hi all,
I have Sony Xperia C6602
i rooted my phone using "towelroot" sometime back. it was working great for me so far. now i receive this OTA update message for 10.5.1.A.0.283 (i guess its android 4.4.4). I've read at many places about updating a rooted phone, and found below mentioned instances:
1-you will loose your root, and will go back to normal boring unrooted (but updated version) of your android
2-you will brick your phone
3-you will loose all your data
now i'm not sure i should go for this automatic update. don't know that much about android. please suggest anyone what will happen to my phone if i update it by default processes. also, let me know about the best way to do this.
also, lets say i update the phone and loose my root, but phone stays well. will i be able to root back again using towelroot just like previous time?
guys, please anyone help me out here. i DO want the latest update on my phone. but i DO NOT want to lose my root.

You are in the wrong forum, you might try the Sony Xperia C forum.

[Q] HTC GPE can't update to 4.3. Status 7 error

Guys,
My HTC ONE Google Play Edition received the 4.3 update notification, but when I tried, it gave me a status 7 error and refused to install the update. How can I solve this? I'm using stock kernel, CWM recovery, and it's rooted.
Thanks a lot.

you need stock (gpe) recovery and maybe temp unroot (with supersu)

You have to flash only the stock recovery and relock the bootloader
And yes, use that guide.
After the update will be installed

Thanks guy!! I will check the post thoroughly later. However, just one more quick question. Since my device is an original GPE, it looks like all I have to do will be just a fastboot flash recovery & fastboot oem relock? Seems like from that guide, most steps prior to these commands are needed to turn a normal HTC ONE into a GPE one. Am I understanding correctly here?
Thanks again.

Relocking boot loader not necessary. My boot loader is unlocked.

Is better if the relock isn't necessary

Guys, thanks for you guys help. I've stocked it back to stock recovery, and have the bootloader locked back. Now when I start the phone, the little lock isn't shown anymore. However, I'm still having 2 issues here.
1) The 4.3 update isn't there anymore!! It doesn't come back even I did a clear cache/force close on the Google Services Framework.
2) It's still showing my phone is still tampered. I booted into the recovery, and it's now the stock one. Is that normal?
Thanks.

Normal because you're rooted

Thanks guy!! I could upgrade successfully.

Can't install OTA update

Hey, so my phone was on a custom ROM for some time now and I just recently went back to stock by flashing an .ftf file with FlashTool.
Since I wanted to go very sure that I take the right file to flash, I chose one with the firmware version 12.1.A.0.266 because I didn't find a newer one, I trusted, thinking I could update it to 12.1.A.1.207 via Update Center then. The flashing process went flawless but the thing is that I couldn't update my phone.
I go into the Update Center, click on download (it's the newest 12.1.A.1.207 firmware) and afterwards on install. The phone shuts down and for 4 or 5 seconds the screen shows the normal animation it always shows, when updating firmware.
After these 4 or 5 seconds it reboots normally and I get the alert that installation is not possible. I tried it a hundred times via PC Companion as well but it always says that I have modified software and it can't be updated.
I also reset my phone thinking this could solve the issue but it didn't and now I don't know what to do. I don't really want to flash an .ftf file again because I'm always a bit anxious when flashing something.
If you have an idea on how to solve my problem I'd be very thankful

Anyone?

CyanogenMod Problem

I flashed my phone with CyanogenMod13, completely not knowing what I was doing. I realized there were a few bugs on CM13 like my camera not working and things like that so I want to go back to stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 so I can have FOTA and a fully functioning phone. I know it was pretty silly of me to actually attempt this without consideration but could anyone help me out on getting back?
I have a Z5 Compact E5823.
Thanks.

Just download flashtool, stock firmware and flash it
btw. It's Xperia Z section, not Z5

Thanks man, sorry about the wrong section.
Will I be able to flash stock rom and receive OTA updates? My bootloader is currently unlocked.
I have already tried flashing before and I am getting random errors each time, with all drivers downloaded properly.
I flashed it with Emma last night and it took me to 5.1.1, and I cant receive any updates, so what am I doing wrong?
I want to go back to stock rom with OTA updates, although CyanogenMod13 was great.

Nope, OTA not working on unlocked bootloader, this can brick your phone

How can I lock my bootloader? Or do you think its recommended I keep the bootloader unlocked?
I just wanted to go back to stock rom for OTA updates thats all.
Many thanks.

I don't even know what that is lol. I should've done research in advance before proceeding to unlock my bootloader. I did make a backup of everything though, I used a tutorial, I used TWRP to backup stuff, or something like that?
Also, is there no way to receive OTA updates now that my bootloader is unlocked? Will flashing stock rom not allow me to receive OTA updates?
Thanks for your ongoing support btw, really stressing me out lol.
