Official AT&T ICS Upgrades??!?!

So this morning there was a thread on androidcentral that the official ICS upgrade for the vivid was being pushed out. I got the OTA update, 3.26.502.56, and copied it to my sdcard......but I have no idea what to do with it. If this is not different from the leak floating around feel free to delete this thread

Where did it save it to cause I got it and want to save it before I upgrade.

Yeah, maybe try reading or searching. This topic belongs in General, blah blah blah.
Anyway, there's a thread with instructions, but since I'm operating under the presumption that you're not going to follow it, download this RUU, run it, and follow the directions it gives you.
Link.
I doubt you've unlocked your bootloader either, by the sound of it, so I'm not going to tell you to "fastboot oem lock".

I am rooted and unlocked. I know how to perform the update but I copied it to my sdcard so that it could be used for dev purposes. FYI i tried to perform the update and it gave me an error, probly because I am rooted and unlocked

I have absolutely no idea what you're on about.
So you downloaded VIVID_ICS_OTA_ROOT.zip or whatever and you tried to CWM it?
The instructions from where you downloaded it from should have either given you a PH39100.zip to update your HBOOT before you reflash recovery and then the ICS zip. You MUST lock your bootloader before you use the PH39100 update zip.
If you have only a PH39100.zip image, you MUST LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER, otherwise it will not work. Again, it should have been very clear from wherever you got the zip from.
What sort of crap site didn't tell you these things?
EDIT: Did you get this from ATT Software Update? That's probably the worst way to get this update. I'm also pretty sure you need to relock for that too.

I dont think ure understanding what I am saying, I am not referring to the leak, this is the official OTA ICS update from AT&T. I know that I need to relock to install, I dont want to do that because I dont want to lose root. I'm posting so that devs can root and do whatever else with this.

No, he was just wondering if it is the same one that is one here. because the ones we have been using are leaks. There have been rumors that some are sense 4.0 instead of 3.6

There was no leak... The RUU is the official HTC RUU for the ICS update.
The "leak" you speak of was made from an OTA update pushed to one of the first recipients of the Vivid's ICS. Versions .52, .54 and .56 are all essentially identical.

What are you trying to do?
And what are you doing with the source?
Ruu or source code?
Kernel source code is for devs to compile their own kernel and use things from it, not for regular users like us

What is your Hboot version too?
If you want to root, now would probably be a good time if you Hboot is compatible with revolutionary
Unless you can find a ruu or ota that is compatible, which I don't know
If you don't want to root you need to find an ruu or ota that works with your phone (I have no experience in doing this)
Another thing you could do is make a goldcard and flash any ruu (I did this)

Yes, you can run the ruu
I don't know which one, either someone else can tell you or you need to research
Just ask someone get before doing it, to be sure, I don't know sorry

You should probably start by installing CID Getter from the market to determine what region your phone is made for. After that, it will be easier to determine which RUU you need to get you up and running. Post your CID here and maybe we can find the correct RUU for you.

i already hav an OTA file for the indian version but from one of the threads but dint know hw to use the file to update my phone....

The problem with OTA files is that they are incremental and are only meant for going from specific versions of software so the fact that you are on such on old version, it is highly unlikely that any OTAs are available, hence you need to flash a full RUU of either the most up to date or at least a much newer release.
As an example, I flashed the Virgin AU RUU that's available on here but it's too old to receive OTA updates. I then used a backup of the software that was on my phone when I bought it and that received an update within seconds of turning on.
So you will need to determine what your CID is and then you will be able to get a newer RUU that will allow you to start receiving OTA updates.

Once again, please put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and then run the command:
fastboot getvar all
and post the results. This will give us all of the information to help guide you in the right direction.
The problem with an OTA is that it is upgrades you from one specific version to another, so if you don't have the right version to start with, an OTA will not help you.

[q] m7 unlocked and rooted and am receiving ota update notification?

My phone is unlocked and rooted and am using TWRP. I just received a OTA update notification for Sense - telling me to update to version 1.29.651.10 but I am already on software version 1.29.651.7 so the update has a earlier version than the version I'm currently using. I first received a prl update notification and installed that - then I got the software notification update with the older version number. I didn't think I would receive Sense software OTA updates after phone was unlocked rooted and recovery installed?

Well I downloaded a file called OTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.29.651.10-1.29.651.7_R2_release_319239dwcr0jcvysqogkks.zipOTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.29.651.10-1.29.651.7_R2_release_319239.zip and tried to install it with TWRP and it failed. I opened the zip with winzip and it has another zip file inside the zip which is: firmware.zip. These are the folders and files in the above zip.
META-INF (FOLDER)
PATCH (FOLDER)
SYSTEM (FOLDER)
bug_fix1 (FILE)
bug_fix2 (FILE)
busybox (FILE)
firmware.zip (WinZip FILE)
fotaBoot (FILE)
reset_system.ko (KO FILE)
skin_fota (FILE)
Any thoughts if this is the right stock rom and/or why it failed to install? There is another zip called Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip but you have to relock the bootloader to install.

[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.

Glad to help. Keep in mind that the root method generally doesn't change, but the S-off method may. So far, looks like Firewater works for the original software version that came on the phone, as well as the OTA.

Why would they take it out of the box, much less run an update on it?
We'd be fighting.

Can I ask you fellas a question. I'm still running stock but I'm rooted and s-off. I keep getting the system update and I want to accept the update because it adds the extreme power saver to my Sprint M8. If I do exactly how do reroot. I know I'll stay S-off. Thanks in advance.

I think Captain Throwback has a stock rooted ROM based off the latest OTA. I would flash that, instead. Too much trouble if you choose the other route.

Flash the rom along with the firmware.
But if you wanted to flash the update from sprint it's not that hard. You would need Sprints stock recovery flashed on your device (it's in one of Captains threads) and your software would need to have all of the files the OTA wants to update since it fails if it doesn't find all the files it is changing. Other than that take the update, let it finish and boot up, and then flash twrp (or cwm), flash SU, and you're back to rooted.

Shouldn't matter if you took the update
HTC Dev will unlock your bootloader unless Sprint blocked it like what happened to Verizon...they blocked folks from using HTC Dev.

I took the update a couple days ago, and just rooted last night. Htcdev worked fine for me. Followed this video:
