As long as you haven't installed a custom recovery to root your ROM, you should be able to install the OTA. If you have installed ClockworkMod or EXT4 recovery then do not attempt to install the OTA.

ARHD for Sense 3.0
Viruous Affinity for Sense 3.5
I've experienced no forced close or bugs in either ROMS.
I stuck with Viruous Affinity for the Sense 3.5 experience. I think Sense 3.5 is superior to Sense 3.0. Also the fonts in Sense 3.5 are smaller and better scaled, in Sense 3.0 everything look blown up.
In Viruous Affinity you also have a "ultrasmooth rosie" option which does stuff like disable the 3D effect in the HTC widgets but keeps 3D rotation. That option boost the fps in transistions A LOT.

The security warning usually means that the main_version value was incorrect for the OTA you are trying to run. Since the RUU for the OTA is out now, there isn't any reason you need to mess with the OTA any more. You can just go ahead and flash the 3.08.405.3 RUU.

[Q] htc vivid ICS HELP!

ok so my HTC Vivid is unlocked and rooted.
i have s-on
HBOOT - 1.85.0024
microp - 0360
and i have the ics recovery which is the wcxrecovery.
now i want to get ICS. how do i do that? i tried using the RUU but that keeps saying error
and i dont thnk there is an actual ICS rom out there.

you can download the stock ics ruu from htc to use it you have to relock your bootloader

im on a stock vivid rom i dont have any custom roms on my phone
like if i relock it, i dont think itl matter cuz ill still be able to use the stock rom

are you on gb wanting to go to ics if so stock or custom if you want custom go to wildchilds site if stock relock bootloaders hook your phone up to your computer in fastboot mode and run the ruu
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
you need to register to see vivid roms
http://www.htc.com/us/support/vivid-att/downloads/

no i am on a stock vivid rom that i used from an update of an ruu. i dont have any of those like reumraider holikaked, none of those.

so you want stock ics or custom ics

can you provide me a link with both? i would really appreciate it thank you very much!
for now i will do the update that is on my phone apperently there is an update on it. ill see what happens with that and if you can still put the stock and custom ics links please

4th post down and you might want to check but i think the bootloader has to be locked to do the ota update. wildchild has a video in the op in his vivid section ics rom that walks you through all the steps to install his rom

also the ruu will wipe your phone and make it like out of box

Since you have HBOOT 2.02.0002, you have unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery to get CM7 installed.
At this point, to flash a new custom ROM, you would simply need to install the ROM using the custom recovery menu. Then after you flash the ROM, you need to manually flash the boot.img file contained in the ROM's zip file using the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
As for the Disable Bootloader, the correct term for the Setting is "Disable Fastboot" so that could be why you cannot find it.
This post contains the procedure you need to use to flash a custom ROM. Since you have already done steps 1 - 8 to get to this point, you only need to do steps 9 - 14 each time you want to flash a new ROM.

If you have an unlocked bootloader, the HBOOT screen still shows S-ON, but you can flash a custom Recovery and a custom ROM. How do you think he got CM7 installed in the first place.

There are several users that have been able to install ARHD 3.0.1 on an unlocked bootloader. You should be OK as long as you remember to manually flash the boot.img!!!

No, you should be able to flash it with your current set up. As I said, there are a few users that have installed it on an unlocked bootloader and didn't use BlackRose.

Yes you are right.. is it showing S-ON due to radio still locked??
Mind explain??
I used to be in LG device forums and we didnt have security flags or bootloaders as HTC.

[Q] HTC One Latest OTA - 27Feb2014

Hi there,
I had and O2 UK HTC One.
I unlocked my HTC One and rooted it to use TWRP.
Lately I was propmted to Update through an OTA to get KitKat but I couldn't automatically update due to TWRP.
I flashed my mobile using a stock ROM and now am running;
Android 4.4
HTC Sense 5.5
Software number 4.06.1540.2
As soon as I flashed this rom I checked for updates and I was prompted to update to the below version,
Software number 4.06.1540.3
Where can I find this OTA to flash it on my HTC?
Is there an easier way to keep up to date with these OTA through TWRP?
Thank you
Mark

You must use stock recovery to flash ota, not twrp. When you are prompted for an ota update, just flash your stock recovery over twrp, go back in your phone, download and apply the ota. Then flash twrp after the update and re-root.

Btw you only had to flash your stock o2 recovery to install the ota, flashing another stock rom wasn't necessary. At least you made a good choice going dev edition.

Thank for the reply... I did not have a stock o2 recovery.
I found one over the internet (...htconeroot.com/htc-one-stock-roms/android-4-4-kitkat-sense-5-5-stock-rom-for-htc-one/)
I currently have this flashed on my mobile but when prompted with an OTA and try to install TWRP comes up. How can I fix that?

[Q] Having trouble flashing

Hi guys and gals,
Hopefully this hasn't been asked before, but, here goes:
I just got my N6 today and i wanted to put a custom rom on the device.. I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and got root, but everytime i try to flash a rom it give me this error:
this package supports bootloader(s) moto-apq8084-71.5 0x7105 moto-apq8084-71.08, 0x7108; this device has bootloader 0x7110
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Isn`t 71.10 the latest besides the one from the M preview? Besides that its something i never experienced that a custom rom didn`t install because of the bootloader version.

latest, i have no clue, ill have to boot to the bootloader to look, but im using the m bootloader. i think either 5.0.1 or 5.1 had a new bootloader, that you had to flash to boot 5.0.1 or 5.1 roms. i had to install the m bootloader to boot m, or it wouldnt boot.
if the op just got his n6 today, it would probably still be on 5.0, so it makes sense that it needs to be updated.

Strange, my bootloader from LMY47Z (71.10) boots fine with Chroma for instance and even CM 12.1 isn`t a problem.

True, but OP states custom roms don`t boot with the 71.10 bootloader. That would be strange unless he is trying to flash a custom M based rom.

Right, the second preview is supposed to be released coming monday the 29th.

I'd be interested in what roms are being flashed that have an older boot loader dependency. Maybe they're stock based?
I've still got the original bootloader and flashing aosp 5.1.1 roma no issue
