This assumes you:
- Have the latest FROYO OTA installed 3.70.651.1
- Have some experience working with flashing things in recovery
- Have NOT deleted/uninstalled ANYTHING in /system
- Have defrosted any bloat you froze with Bloat Freezer or Ti Backup Pro
- Have S-OFF (Used Unrevoked Forever or a version of Unrevoked3 that includes Forever)
OK now let us get to it.
1. Go ahead and download the OTA like normal on your phone, but DO NOT install it.
2. Using a file manager copy the OTA zip file from /cache to /sdcard
3. Using Rom Manager, flash Amon RA Recovery 2.3 (Down at the bottom)
4. In Rom Manager, click the Reboot into Recovery button.
5. Select apply zip from SD Card and flash the OTA zip file that you put in /sdcard
--10 Minutes later.....you now have the UNROOTED OTA installed just as if you installed it normally--
6. Download the 2.6.0.1 ClockWorkMod Recovery zip from here and place it in the root of your SD card
7. Under settings > applications > disable FastBoot (re-enable this when you are done with the whole process)
8. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. The bootloader will scan and then will and ask you to press Volume up to install. Reboot.
9. Delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD card and place the attachment below in the root of the SD card.
10. Power off and reboot holding Volume down and then select recovery to start CWM recovery.
11. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the SU file on the list, flash it to root your phone. Reboot.
You should now be rooted and can upgrade the recovery now to whatever style and version you want!
Enjoy! Please click the THANKS button if it worked for you!

Very cool!!
Great info ..hey if I follow these steps and skip the last part will my phone be stock / uprooted and good to go.for a trade in or repair? I've been trying to figure out the best way to unrest when.e3d comes out
I never updated to 3.70. I'm assuming I can do that the same way, root again, download the gingerbread, and root again?
I'm thinking it might just be easier to flash the rooted ROM and radios, but I'm not sure what's best.
if you have amon ra recovery (and a stock rom), you can simply download and click install.
I clicked install, amonra booted up, detected and ran update, click reboot, then the stock recovery will be active and updates the radios, once back in to sense, you can reinstall amonra or clockwork, then SU
worked for me.

im curious why the title says "WITHOUT flashing a new ROM" yet you are clearly flashing the rom in amon ra. sorry just got to nit pick
what happens if you have deleted some system apps. Such as nova and blockbuster. I saved the APKS on the SD card however but I did delete them?

Well I wouldn't want to try it unless your prepared to do a full ruu reset if it fails.
the OTA is like a patcher, it deletes unneeded files, adds new files, and updates existing files... if its not completely stock it may (or may not) cause an error which the updater can't handle, and then you may be left with a half upgraded system.
if you nandroid *before* downloading the ota, you should always be able to go back, assuming you have perm soff from unrevoked forever.
it should run whether you have removed files or not. if it tries to delete a file that does not exist the script will just skip it. op i think you have bit of confusion going on though. you were only able to reattain root because you are s-off from unrevoked forever. if you are not s-off and do your method, which is no different then just excepting the ota and letting it do its thing btw, you will loose root until this new ota is cracked. just fwi, there was no "magic" from you flashing manually, the same script is ran and the same files are moved and patches are made regardless.
cant I reinstall the apps and put the apks in their original system folder?

Lol OK so which one is it? Can n just accept the ota and run? I'm rooted on stock rom, but I deleted nova and blockbuster from the system? I know I will loose root which I got by using unrevoked 3, but I just want to know if I can do it without bricking the phone. Ty

shouldn't be any worry about bricking but make 100% sure you are s-off from unrevoked forever and you should be able to re-root pretty much how the op outlined.
im currently running cm7. if i go back to a rooted stock froyo rom, will this work???
confused. I just don't understand why you wouldn't download the rooted version of the ROM from here on XDA and just flash it like a normal rom. Maybe I'm overtired and missing the point.
To me, its like this. If you're rooted, and want an OTA update, just wait for the devs at XDA to go through it and root it, and make it available for download. Then just download it and flash it. You get the same exact update that way, as if you took the OTA from sprint. Except this way you don't risk losing root, and your good to go.
If you're not rooted and your phone is stock, accept OTA like normal.
I don't understand why all this extra stuff needs to be done, and add more to the confusion. If your rooted, updating to the latest is simple. Download it and flash it in recovery.

Do a full wipe and flash like any other rom you've ever flashed before. You'll then be on the latest and greatest . (you'll probably be going right back to CM)
EDIT: and to the OP, sorry that I don't agree with you. I just find it more confusing that way, and I guess that whatever the point of doing it that way is, is sailing miles above my head.

That link I supplied a couple posts up is a completely 100% stock and rooted version of the OTA update.
This is from the first paragraph of the first post of that thread.
"Stock 4.22.651.2 ROM, rooted and ready for your flashing pleasures. This is a completely stock ROM that has had nothing done to it outside of rooting & deodexing, it's not even zip aligned yet (sorry DrMacinyasha)
As always make sure your wipe your dalvik and create a nandroid before flashing."

thanks for your insight. only thing I am confused on at this point is why there are kernels listed to flash from May just below it? wouldnt the htc stock kernel from the ota be in this rom already? seems like alot of folks are looking for newer kernels to flash after flashing xhaus rom. Any insight would be great. thanks again!

I was a little curious about why those kernels were linked there too. I honestly haven't really kept up with thread, because I don't have an interest in flashing the update to begin with. I noticed those kernels are from May 4th, so it doesn't seem like they'd be the most current one. Without reading that thread, I first would've presumed that the kernel that comes with the rom would be the one to use. So, you've read through the thread and you're seeing that people are having trouble with the kernel that the rom comes with?? I'll take a gander over in the thread in a few minutes and see what I make out of it.
Well I f'd up and installed the latest update straight from sprint, instead of waiting for the rooted version to come out. I guess I thought I would find something exciting, but now I would realize it was kind of worthless and want to go back to a different rom like miui or vaelpak. I am s-off with unrevoked. Is there some combination of the steps listed I can use to back out of this?
Let me take a guess...did this update my radios and hboot to a version that would be incompatible with these roms?
Just got T-Mobile OTA 1.63.531.2
I can't get it to flash with CM Recovery. Tried with sig verification off. Phone should be s-offed.
Here it is if anyone wants:
http://lts.cr/Bhqv
.....next time post in the general. And rename it PG59IMG.zip and flash it in hboot
Thanks. I posted here so someone can see the source for developing if needed.
How do I get to hboot again with cm recovery?
pull your battery then put it back in and hold volume down and power. Then it will say confirm and press yes
Revolutionary hboot finds the zip file, does the loading bar but then does nothing. Have to choose fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock or image crc.
well it shouldve flashed...idk what to say....is in the root of the sdcard and named PG59IMG.zip
Yup I'm going to try the variant at

This type of file is not a file to flash with the bootloader
Ran into this before trying to manually update a mytouch 4g
Is a regular update file like we used to do with update files on nexus one a so forth.
They have changed the way the updates work though and can not be flashed manually from what I have seen..
Needs to be in like a secure location probably /cache/ota or something like that.
Crap, so what do I do? Do I need to use that full update that does seem to work? But that also does a wipe?
ohh ya your right now that i look at the update.zip....just download the full update and flash that in hboot...dont forget to rename to PG59IMG.zip
Anyway to avoid a wipe?
well backup all your apps with titanium backup...then restore them with titanium
I've manually flashed the OTA updates that come to the phone. They flash thru stock recovery, not hboot or CWM. I don't think it matters what you name it, you just select it. And I'm not positive, but it might require a fully stock device.
Edit: I was S-OFF when I did tho. I think Blue might have tried with S-ON, and it wouldn't happen. Can't remember for sure tho

You can DL and flash stock recovery easily enough, just go to Blue6IX's Developer Reference thread, and go to the Recovery section. It could be worth a try, but I'm not sure the update will work with your customized setup. Might have to do as xmc suggested.
You need a stock recovery to flash an OTA - as mentioned above, it's not a PG59IMG.zip type of file or any other that hboot can process.
Custom recoveries can't process this type of update.
This thread should probably be in general, as it's more of asking for help then providing a solution.

HOLD ON UPDATING!!! There are a bunch of people having data and wifi issues with this release. I have not had them but that doesn't mean you won't. Update at your OWN risk. You've been warned.
If you would like to update the software but not the baseband (probable cause for data/wifi issues) then just use my Nandroid linked below and leave your current baseband.
To everyone that keeps trying to relock their phones and flash the RUU to get the update it will NOT work. If you look at your software version you will see that it has added and R2 in it. I don't know why it does this, maybe it's a why for HTC to screw over the hackers yet again. Here is how to get the update.
There are 2 ways to get the update.
First: Use my Stock Rooted 1.84 Nandroid that I posted here. Simple but you will have to flash the radio separate.
Second: More steps but worked for me. NOTE: Only works if your on stock rooted phone. Will not work on custom ROM. Get Stock 1.53 Nandroid here. Credit to Reviewers for posting.
This will NOT wipe your phone nor do you need to wipe your phone if you are on Stock Rooted.
1a - This step only needed if you are on a custom ROM. If your on Stock Rooted then proceed to step 1b.
Download the above linked Nandroid (for 1.53) and restore it in Recovery. Reboot.
1b - Download this tool and use it to flash stock recovery. It will auto reboot your phone into bootloader so just start with your phone normally booted.
Credit goes to hasoon2000 for creating the tool!
2 - Your phone will reboot, once booted back up go to Settings>About Phone>Software Update. It will find the update and download then prompt to install. Select yes and let your phone update and reboot.
3 - Fire up the tool from step 1b again and this time flash CWM Recovery (whichever you prefer).
4 - After reboot is complete reboot again back into recovery and flash this to restore SU permissions (seems the update breaks them, at least for me).
Credit goes to Chainfire for creating this!
5 - Reboot, Done.
Any way to force the update if you have already received it once? I downloaded it yesterday but it failed because I had CWM installed at the time. I've flashed back to stock recovery but when I check for an update it says one isn't available.
I wonder if I could call T-Mobile and have them push it again?

Didn't work for me. I got about 2 downloads out of the servers, and then they aren't sending it anymore. Weak.
No go so far. Copied it to my PC, deleted it from my Download folder, re-booted and then checked for an update 3 different times and nothing so far.
With all of the people having wifi and data issues TMO may have stopped sending it until they figure out what is going on. I do know for a fact that TMO tests any software update the send so something may have gone haywire with it. Maybe got radio mixed up.

Wait.. I didn't know this. You mean even if we "unroot" and flash stock recovery (and using stock ROM of course), we cannot flash this ourselves?
I currently have the CWM touch recovery and root, u/l bootloader, etc., and TMO has sent me 2 updates, both were in the Downloads folder. I didn't notice that it updated (as I never confirmed) but they obviously didn't install.
But I would have done the above if I had known we couldn't just flash it ourselves. WTF T-mobile?? Those of us who know how to flash a file should at least not be prevented from doing so (especially since we need to have the original recovery installed).

Hello everyone. I'm somewhat of a noob still and I would appreciate any help you could give me.
I'm trying to install the new OTA update that came out today but I'm having issues. I have a rooted One S with TWRP recovery, and everytime I try to install the OTA update it brings me to the TWRP recovery screen. I'm pretty sure this is because I don't have stock recovery. I've even tried "unrooting" with Voodoo Over the Air root, but it keeps bringing me to the TWRP recovery screen.
I rooted my phone with the All-In-One root kit, and I really don't want to lose everything on my device (or have the pain in the butt of restoring everything). Is there another way? Or is there an easy way to reinstall the stock recovery with the AIO kit? I know the AIO kit has the option to install other recoveries, but I'm not sure where to get the stock one.
Please help! I really want to upgrade.
Thanks so much for your help!

Scroll half way down and you get a list of different steps you may have to do in order to get it done.
Most include installing "OTA RootKeeper" from GooglePlay
Steps vary from how your phone is setup. Stuff like do you have Root, Custom or stock Mod, or CWM or stock recovery. Check it out. I'm trying it now.
(adding more to it so I don't double post.)
I tried the method with Root Keeper, it doesn't seem to work for me. It also seems as though a few others are having the same issue. Someone recommended use an RUU to go completely stock, therein losing all your data unless you back all that stuff up.
I'm going to avoid an RUU at all costs, I hate having to reset up my phone. Plus I just got a XOOM I need to work more on and get setup so I don't want to put more time on the phone than I have to as to take away time from my XOOM.

Hello. Any stock recovery for Ville C2 (One S s3)? I'm looking everywhere and I cannot find. I want to update to JB with OTA
Hi all,
I apologize if this has been answered before, but I had trouble finding it here. I am currently rooted on a stock backup, but I am running a custom recovery. I am not sure where to find the stock recovery image for my device. I am using the HTC One M8 through Verizon, and I know that the new firmware update is coming out soon, and I'd like to be able to just OTA update my phone so that I can reflash a custom recovery and install the newest VenomROM. I have flashed a custom recovery before (obviously), but I didn't know if it mattered which firmware base you are running. I read somewhere that the recovery is totally separate from the OS, and it is meant to be an alternative to booting into the OS in case of a problem, but I want to be sure. If there is a specific recovery I need to use and someone here knows where I can find it, that'd be great. I found the collection of stock recoveries, but I'm having trouble figuring out which one I need to use. Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.
EDIT: My CID is VZW__001
My VERSION-MAIN is nothing. There's is just nothing next to this label.
I tried locating it on the collection of stock recoveries, but couldn't find it. I'm not sure why this is.
It takes more than stock recovery to take the OTA. The /system has to be essentially stock. Some mods (e. g. enabling powersave) may also csuse the OTA install to fail. There is a thread with a pseudo RUU. You ought to be able to get stock recovery there.

Hi there,
I actually just used the psuedo RUU tool (I assume this is the one you are talking about? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727831)
I just finished using this tool, but when I went to check the recovery, all I get is a big red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. Nothing else. So, I'm guessing that recovery didn't flash properly? But I'm honestly not completely sure. I would screenshot it, but I can't do that. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: I found out that pressing volume up and power gives more options. I assume I am all good to go now? I am still rooted, and I'm not sure if that is a problem. I am stock, s-off and rooted, but I don't have any mods installed.
You can't do anything in stock recovery except take an OTA, assuming everything else is stock. You can't do Nandroids, flash zips, etc. Looks like you have stock recovery.

You should be good to go. A cautionary note, however, is that if you are rooted (even if S-OFF), it's not always advisable to take the OTA because frequently OTA's plug exploits used to secure root, etc. There was a definite difference between the original stock Verizon M8 ROM releated 3/25/14 and the minor update which followed, and some were unable (myself included) to secure stable root and/or S-OFF with weaksauce, having to acquire a license to Sunshine instead.
I intend to stick on my custom ROM and recovery and trust the developers to massage the OTA once it's out and have, literally within days if not hours, an updated ROM/firmware zip file that will more than adequately fit the bill.

That does sound pretty appealing. I've never flashed firmware before though, and I wouldn't want to mess anything up. I remember seeing on the VenomROM firmware section, the easiest way to flash new firmware is to just grab the OTA update. The other way involved using some other program that I have not used before. I am overestimating how difficult installing new firmware is?

Firmware (splash screen, radios, hboot, recovery) are "flashed" with an S-OFF handset via fastboot from the bootloader, while connected to PC. I believe (again, based upon the RUU thread I mentioned previously which you seem to have found) that it may also be possible to flash from hboot using an update.zip file (I think the M8 file is called PB06IMG.zip, but don't hold me to that --- every phone has its own such file format/name.)
ROMs and mods are typically flashed via recovery.

Okay, I may look into that. I've only seen an RUU flashed via hboot, so I'd have to look into it. At the very least though, I'd imagine someone will post the instructions on how to flash the firmware when it comes out.
Thanks so much for your help!

+100 for this!
I am reading dozens of posts in all kinds of threads of people just dying to take that OTA...
Why???
I would not touch that new firmware with a 100 foot pole until the devs have figured out what it breaks!!!
I predict a flood of posts in the line of:
"I flashed back to stock to take the OTA and now weaksauce is not working - how do I get root back?"
What's the hurry?????
