Is it possible to restore my phone to stock using a copy of the OTA update I got from HTC?
Phone - desire
Rooted, insertcoin
I know I could use the ruu but there isn't one for my network and country. Uk orange. The only one on there is France.
Cheers everyone

I successfully rooted my phone some time ago...
I'm on stuck ROM 2.3.4 - unbranded, unlocked - European version.
Now there is an update available for the phone. Its the Twitter update. However I can't install it.
I think it something to do with stock recovery, right?
Have you cleared data from market? Also what version of the market do you have? What does it say when you try to install

Its not an update from the Market. Its a system update.
SOLVED (how can I change the title?)
How did you solve it?

I had to flash stock recovery...
I thought that after a root u never get any OTA updates anymore.
i want to get ICS, but I have S-OFF Rooted Sensation. So OTA will not work.
How do I get the Ice Cream then?
wow dude
I'm sure you can read right? You do what everybody else did and run the ruu.
I'm rooted with.S-off Nd have the recent tmo update . Just read how to do it.

I'll tell you briefly my experience
I bought an unbranded HTC One S online. When it arrived I was surprised to find that it was T-Mobile branded (european version). So I sent it back asking for a no brand one, which arrived 1 week later. When I turned it on (it was half-charged) I found this written:
"this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside htc with out htc write permission failure to comply my lead to legal action"
I checked the bootloader and found it was unlocked.
I think they sent me back my T-Mobile one unlocked with a stock rom.
1) How did they remove T-Mobile brand?
2) How can I see if my phone is rooted?
3) Can I receive OTA upgrade even if the bootloader is unlocked?
4) Is it possible to return to unbranded stock with locked bootloader and no root permissions (as an original unbranded phone)?
thanks
They prob rooted and debloated all the stuff on there removing all them apps many Roms have the option for this when installing them. To check if your rooted there is an app called root checker in app store download that. U can return to stock debloated by running ruu and u will have to get the tmobile ruu and specific country but it is de bloated and yea u can do the original HTC updates If your still on stock I don't know if u have to lock bootloader tho personally I think u should get custom Rom because a lot more customisation and Developers build their Roms around the latest HTC updates

Just got a message saying this update is available. My handset is s-off running sipercid I gather its not a good idea to run this ota update?
You are correct.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Thanks for that. Would the handset brick if I installed the update as my bootloader is locked.
Yes because your super CID... as soon as I s-offed my device I changed it back to htc_001 (my default CID) I'd advise that
