Hi , so i rooted my htc sensation because i got tired of waiting for the ota update but now want to unroot the sensation because i want to receive the ota update when it does come out. But the thing is i like the hq camera mod if i unroot the sensation will i somehow still be able to mod the camera. will i still have s - off after unrooting ? please help me step by step on how to unroot ? i made a back up before i rooted the sensation , will this help at all ? thank you for reading and please help !? you know what they say asking questions is good lol
No you can't if its unrooted you cant install any mods that require root. Having a nandroid backup before the root won't help. The root is buried/locked down deep deep in your system. You have to do it manually. I can't seem to find it because I'm in my phone. But there is a guide. Please search around in YouTube, the xda forums, high on android, and android forums.

I just recently rooted my friends phone using unrEVOked3 too. email me at bobbyoftulsa @ yahoo.com so as not to crowd the thread. I haven't had a problem yet.. just want the opinion so I might start over.

Hello everybody,
My phone:
HTC Sensation Z710e (free) rooted
Android version 2.3.4
HTC Sense Version: 3.0
My target:
Be able to upgrade my softweare to Adnroid 4 using the automatic update feature built on the phone.
The problem:
My phone is rooted, and after downloading the update for my phone (using the official feature), it's beeing blocked after reseting. According to some messages I've found, this happens because my phone is rooted.
Questions:
Do I have to unroot the phone in order to be able to use the update manager?
Is there another way or suggestion to get my target?
Before writing this email I did google for the answer with no success. The problem is there are lots of concepts and words and I get lost, could you please be clear explaining the ideas? This message would be a good help for users like me in the future.
I will apreciate any kind of help
Thanks in advance

in order to get official update you have to be 100% stock and yes also unrooted
another way is to S-OFF your device with revolutionary.io (i assume your hboot version is 1.1x depending of your android version)
then install the 3.32fw,install 3.33fw and then the rom you want
best wishes

Thank you very much for your reply!
What does "to be 100% stock" mean and how can I get it?

it means as the phone came from the manufacturer, so no rooting, no addition software installed or removed. It is quite risky going back to S-On and installing a stock rom. I would not suggest it unless you are planning on returning your phone for a repair...
the key thing is to unroot your phone, most superuser applications have this option in. Also you can delete the superuser.apk from /system/app
hope this helps

So recently i bought an HTC One S with an S3 processor which its country is of Asia. I am currently at europe. I still am on Android 4.0.3 and there doesnt seem to be an update for my phone. Now i know that 4.0.4 and also JB are rolling out, but not for my device. Is there anything I can do to solve this ?
Thanks :laugh:
I live in a country where HTC sell the S3 processor only. I had my cousin sent me HOS from US, big difference.
You might want to trade for an S4 though.
In the meantime you can search the development forum and look for an S3 ROM.
Not many but there are some.

HOS stands for Htc One S and a Rom is basically an operating system for your device that is nothing like stock, has tweaks here and there things that stock doesnt, and if you root you will.still be able to receive updates but you have to relock the phone and some other things I can't remember then you can apply the update, basically you can't apply update to a rooted phone its just gonna give you and installation error then reboot your phone I think but that's basically it for your questions, hopefully it was helpful to you

Thanks for the information !
A friend told me that if i root the phone i can change my firmware from Asia to Europe where i live so that i can recieve updates accordingly to my phone. Is this true ?
Also is there a detailed noob instructions for me to follow and learn more about rooting the phone and installing customs ROMS etc. ?
Thanks

If you root, you can manually install all sorts of fun stuff. I think if you want to remain as close to stock and receive "official" updates, super cid is something you might wanna read about. There's a thread in the Dev Section by Torxx that I used to root my S4 you might wanna look over and see if that's for you. Make sure everything you decide to do is compatible with your S3 first though.
Edit: there's also another guide in the general section

STOP! More info please! Are you only rooted? Bootloader unlocked? S-OFF or S-ON?
If you are ONLY rooted, DO NOT follow the instructions on the link below....
Provide more info, THEN we can help!

Hey chief.... Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'd advise against anyone following those instructions. No offence intended to the OP.
I salute you for trying to help, but to help, you need to ask what actually he needs help with......

Hi,
I've just rooted my htc one mini 4.2.2 before updating to 4.3 -_- (so i can't remove blinkfeed cause i get an error when i try to update)
I'm wondering how i can do that ? Do i have to unroot or can i bypass this error ?
After some searches :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598367
with dl links for the OTA file for 4.3
I could flash it with superCID "on"?
Or try the link before and update while in the system ?
Thanks
I'v followed the tuto before to get s-off and supercid (as i was s-ON). I had some difficulties but gaining root access by taping su in adb shell make it worked. I now have supercid and s-off but still can't install the OTA...
If i have well understand i should flash a stock rom before ? The fact is i didn't flash any rom i've just unlock the bootloader and root the device.
My build number is actually 1.32.401.2 and the thread i've followed to get supecid and s-off doesn't give this build number rom.
The dl links i've shown before points to an OTA file containing "1.32.401.2" in it's name so it may be compatible ? How can i trust those files as it's an 632Mb file (631.7) but the OTA is 630.55Mb . . .
OR,
I could directly flash the international 4.4 rom you gave in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665746 as my goal is having the most update system and sense (to remove blinkfeed) and be rooted to uninstall those f***ing gapps i don't want ?
It was much more easier with SGS3...
