Done that (Tmobile Stock 2.3.3 rooted) but to no avail

I think he means, you need recovery as it was PRE-ClockworkMod. Any threads?
(correct me if I'm wrong)

Then that's a different matter altogether. Will need to figure that out. Does that involve unrooting the device after recovery?

I'm going to do this tomorrow to update. It should work.

So did it work

- Backup everything using CWM and Titanium Backup.
- Install the RUU to get back to Stock Recovery. (You'll loose all settings/apps/SMS/etc..)
- Install your OTA update.
- Restore everything using Titanium Backup.
This should work for any of you who has CWM Recovery. If you already have Stock Recovery, then you're ready to go. You don't need to flash a new rom by the RUU.
It's not the root that is causing the problem, it is the CWM Recovery.
Keep in mind, flashing a RUU may brick your device, I take no responsibilities of any damage that may be caused to your device

I just discovered a new method, tried it and it worked.
Take a look at this.

Question regarding HTC official bootloader unlock

Hello.
I have some questions regarding the official bootloader unlocker:
How would I flash files If I do it.
Do I then need to flash custom recovery?
Do you have it ?
I would be very grateful if you could answer those questions

Do you mean how would you flash files over once you're rooted?

Nope. I mean how does the official unlocked bootloader work ? How do you flash files ?

Well you will need a recovery to flash files. And you will find it if you google 4ext recovery. Go ahead and copy and paste that into search engine. U het its the first that that pops up.
Once you've installed recovery then read the installation instructions on any thread you get you zip from. I have faith you can figure that much out.

It depends if you're unlocking via the HTC tool or rEVOlutionary, if it's the later it would automatically ask you of you wanted it to flash a custom recovery, but yeah you need a recovery to flash And back up files

Revert to stock

I made a backup before flashing any roms of my original stock os. I was just wondering if after flashing a couple of roms would it still be possible to use the back up to go back to stock?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using XDA

I would flash a RUU for the firmware your backup uses, then run Revolutionary for fastboot commands and recovery. Then restore that backup.
Pd: Yes, its a long method, but I prefer taking my time rather than brick my expensive phone

You can restore a backup made of your STOCK ROM..
But your device will be still S-OFF means rooted..
to UN-ROOT or revert back to stock you have to flash a suitable RUU for your phone..
If you find my ans useful please hit thanks

Wouldn't the restored backup then also need to be unrooted?
If the aim is to return to stock, just flashing the ruu is enough. Of course, that does not give you back user data from the backup.

If the backup was taken BEFORE rooting then you'll be unrooted when you restore it. You'll still have S-OFF, though

I tried flashing my back up to stock and I got stuck on a boot loop

Maybe you will not lost S-off, but even if you lost it, you can repeat s-off steps as u did before.
But what I'm sure about you have to root it again and lost OTA update

3.18 ota question

I have been having serious internet problems on my pc. I can never get ruu to finish downloading with out errors. I do have the ota zip file. I'm rooted, super cid and s-off. Is it safe to update that way or should I keep trying to get ruu to download?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Man! Why do want to ask such hard questions? I know you can install zip from sd but I could not say how safe it would be.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I was able to when I had S-OFF and the bootloader unlocked. I RUUed to 2.20, then I applied the OTA update from the stock recovery. My phone is still kicking. I tried to get everything back to stock after that, changed to stock CID, wrote the secure flag, and then locked my bootloader. I regret doing that now as I no longer have a root method on 3.18.

That's why I'm hesitant lol I guess ill keep trying for the ruu to download. Unless I can get a 100% positive answer... I tried to dl it with my phone and straight talk just throttled me at about 450 megs so I figured I'd stop before they killed my data connection again. They shut my data off last most for like a week and a half

I flashed the ota before the ruu was released, and I've been fine. You do have to have stock recovery in place, so you'll have to run the 2.20 ruu first. You can't flash the ota with a custom recovery.

No need to relock since you're S-OFF, you can flash OTA via Stock recovery. I'm not sure what will happen if you're flashing over a custom rom... I've only ever flashed an OTA over stock ROM myself.

Oh s**t I didn't even think about that... Good call. I may have had a disater and no choice but to post a oops I f'ed up my phone thread lol I just may hold off till I can get RUU downloaded correctly.
The ota and ruu I think are like 2-3 mb different in size (ota smaller I think) what could be missing? Adb folders maybe?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Or... Would wiping everything including system in twrp then flashing stock recovery then flashing ota work?
Just off phone with HTC tech support, second teir I guess. The first guy transferred me. Told them I was rooted and all and s-off. Direct from them they told me the ota completly wipes the OS it just retains certain folders for contacts and personal info.
