is your device rooted?

Yes it is,

Exact same thing happens to me.
Is it the root that's causing it or is it the bootloader not being stock?

It was told a million times (if not a billion) not to update your rooted phone via OTA
However this issue can be resolved easily - search Developement forum stickies for solution.

Update problem.

Ok I saw a lot of members having a problem with the 2.3.4 update so I thought I'd make a thread where someone can help us all out at once rather than going thread by thread.
The problem is that when it powers off and boots up when installing the update, it shows the green android next to a triangle with an exclamation mark in it. And yes I'm rooted and S-offed. So can anyone help us? Thanks.

+1. Have tried both OTA and Clockwork recovery to no avail. Guess it could be CID problem. Now the OTA has been withdrawn from my phone. I can only wait and check update later with my fingers crossed.

Does this mean that you've tried flashing Stock ROMs with 2.3.4 (in CWM)?
Yup. Have done that several times for the past 2 days and failed. Luckily it allows me to reboot back to Tmobile Stock 2.3.3 (rooted).

have you completed steps for super-cid in this thread? (assuming CID is your problem)

I just did and succeeded with the super cid. But still can't update.

Sounds hopeful. Will also give it a try next week. Many thanks.

Ppl, if your rooted and s off u will not be able to get ota updates. There is a deoxed version of the ota in the development section already.

But if they run RUU and then update to OTA, it'll work I suppose

[Q] Can't install official updates after root

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.

You need the stock recovery

I would wait till someone adds the update into a rom. You could loose root if you update.
If your on a custom Rom just wait for the next release, chances are it wills be in there it if isn't in there already.
If your on stock, then perhaps look for a rooted stock Rom. Someone is bound to pit the newest up with the update already installed in there.
This happened with a lot of EVO 3D users, they updated and lost root and then got stuck at hboot 1.50...
So don't just on every update you see lol.

You can try this method.but if your new then I wouldn't do it and just wait for it to be updated in a custom rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228648
It how to get back stock recovery and install its and then go back to custom recovery.

When I got this phone earlier I tried to do the s-off things with revolutionary software (this was new to me cause I am coming from a lg all we had to do to root was install gingerbreak), anyway I followed all the steps but when I tried to connect the software would just always say waiting for device???. Anyone have any ideas

Have you installed any custom roms on your phone? Is it as you got from the shop?
I rooted it a few weeks ago, but i resetted it last week completely to go the update work... But i have still the Same issue... So its nearly like you get it in a Shop.

You will have to install an original HTC RUU before getting the official update. Otherwise you can use any custom ROM instead.
Yeah, just try a custom like ARHD. I think it run smoother, perhaps ur problems dissapear.
Get an original recovery first !!!
You should get an original recovery "Stock Recovery" before you do that . . .
try to do that by installing the RUU rom for your phone and your carrier ok
So after installing a costum ROM it should work? Okay ill give it a shot and answer if it works or not. Thanks anyway for your help!
