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

I am trying to return the phone back to stock, I've managed to install the RUU but I can't get OTA updates, I'm assuming because I have S-OFF and unlocked boot loader.
What do I need to do to be able to do OTA updates?
I'm currently on HBOOT-6.13.1002 and I can't seem to find a way of downgrading this, from what I've read I need to drop that back to something like 1.13 and lock the bootloader. I already have managed to return recovery to stock.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
...ok so I managed to get back to HBOOT 1.13 through THIS method and from what I am aware I have relocked the bootloader, I re-ran the RUU update as I saw somewhere that the bootloader doesn't properly relock until you run an RUU update after the above method but it's still not letting me do an OTA update from Gingerbread 2.3.3.
PLEASE HELP!
Since you can be pretty sure that there won't be any new OTAs in the future, just run the newest RUU with ICS and done.
HI, I have a rooted HTC One with TWRP and s-off and on stock rom, to get 4.2.2 OTA will I get the update? or do I have to unroot first?
Also can I use any RUU now or Do I have to change CID first?
Thank you...

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.
Ok, I originally was on the stock 4.3 rom that I received by OTA. I ran this for a while without root.
I finally rooted and flashed ARHD 31...therefore my rom was updated to the new sense 5.5, but my firmware was still based on 4.3 with sense 5.0
I didn't make a nandroid (dumb mistake)...I am looking to gain s-off so I can update my firmware.
I am wondering the safest way to do this...do I need to RUU back to 4.3, and if I do that, do I have to lock the bootloader back prior to RUUing? or after?
Also, is there a RUU posted for 4.3 att sense 5?
Any help would be appreciated...in the end all I am trying to accomplish is achieve s-off.
thanks

You could use http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_ul_jb43_sense50_mr_cingular_us_3-17-502-3-decrypted-zip/
or
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
You need to be locked/relocked before flashing the ruu.
I hoping I can get some clarification on this subject. I may have to take my phone into Sprint for either repair or new phone since it will not connect to the newly added 4G network in my area. So going back to stock my be needed for me to do so.
Since the RUU for the 4.4.2 update isn't available yet, is there a way to downgrade back to 4.3 so I can return back to stock? I did the OTA update in stock, then gained root access.
Does the process require me to turn S-Off? I'm currently S-On running Running Bad Boyz Sprint ONE KitKat v1.0.
If I go S-Off, is there a way to turn it back S-On? Not sure if Sprint will look at this setting.
Also, I have the update radio and hboot
HBOOT- 1.56.0000
RADIO- 1.00.20.1108
OS- 4.06.651.4
Will I have to downgrade my hboot as well?
Any help will be much appreciated

You're S-On. Your only option is to perform a factory reset, flash the stock recovery and re-lock your bootloader.

Thanks,

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.
