HTC updates on rooted phone - HTC One S

I've tried updating my rooted HTC One S software via about>Software updates. I realised after that i cant update through that method as I have a rooted phone. So I relocked the bootloader but my phone still isnt updating . Can someone please help me?

Are u already in 4.0.4?
If I helped in anyway please hit thanks

And is your problem that an update won't install or that the phone cant find one?

Don't know if you did it, but you also need to flash stock recovery.

You need stock recovery to install software updates. Are you using a custom one?

No. I am using stock ROM.
Can you guide on using stock recovery.

When you rooted your phone most surely you installed a custom recovery (clockwork maybe). Read this guide for getting back to stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16862231

Can't find my current software version 1.45.707.1 under HTC Sensation in Android Recovery Manager... I guess, I'll have to wait until Android ICS update comes to HTC Sensation.
That won't help, you'll need the stock recovery to install that update as well.

Then what would be the solution?
I did Factory Reset the phone once and even after that, update didn't install. The phone was surely unrooted then. I explained this to HTC and they said that now i should wait for the ICS or i could bring the device to their lab, which i couldn't.

after rooting you should have flashed any custom recovery.please check your recovery . log to hboot and select recovery. i thing you got cwm or some other recovery. you want get your stick recivery after a factory reset.because factory resetiing mean deleting your data in your phone.
i am on the cwm recovery.i got the same update (14mb) and i tried once.it stucked in a window displaying a phone+exclamation mark(something like that)
anyhow, did htc tell you ics releasing date??

[Q] Quick update question

i have rooted my phone and installed various roms via rom manager but am now using the stock xe room from my backup.
I want to be able to get the ota update but will i still get it while my phone is rooted etc?
my device says ***locked*** and 's' off
does this matter?
is there anyway to completley wipe the device and start all over again so it would be as if when i first got it so as to enable the new update.
thanks for the help.

Install the latest RUU for your device then you will be back to stock.
S-off will remain but this doesn't matter as it will not prevent you from recieving stock ota updates.
Thanks for the reply,
It now seems that somehow I have installed another Rom that I had previously downloaded from Rom manager and when I now try to find my back up of my original sensation xe UK sim free back up I can't find it anywhere.
Can anyone post me a link to the original xe firmware that I can download and then install from recovery and then I can get the offical ics update.
Thanks.

Google says error 6 means an error in the updater script. Since other people have used it with no problems, I would guess a bad download.
Try redownloading the ROM. Then push it to sdcard using adb while booted into recovery. Then try again.

This doesn't belong in this section, and it has to be moved to Q&A section.
But nevertheless, did you try relocking your phone and install new firmware with original RUU? This way you'll know for sure if there is software or hardware problem.
XDA POLICE shall get with you soon.

No don't put ota files on sd-card search for RUU and flash it via you computer (if you know how to do this). This way you phone will be completely re-written for sure.

Phone work ok (without problems) on MaximuS 2.5, but when i install OTA JB, problem is here again. I think this is driver problem in kernel JB or some problems with graphic in JB ROM. Because i post this problem in developers.

CWM & TWRP cannot access anything in recovery.

Hi all,
just bought HTC Butterfly X920D 3 days ago from a guy. I realise he has root this device bcos I cannot do OTA update. System check download the update but failed to install. After that I search for a fix n found CWM & Rom manager. I flashed recovery & try to apply the update manually buy CWM says E:Cant mount sdcard, can access cache, blocking device required. Then I look for another fix and arrived here. After all that mess, I tried to factory reset the device via setting in phone is but after resetting n restarts, my HTC is entering recovery again and I opted from the menu selected "boot systems now". It booted andall the contents is still there!
Looks like the reset function isn't working anymore. Any suggestions on what I shud do?
Thx on advance. Cheers
you have to install the original recovery before applying the OTA.
I have it here

Update: I send my HTC to a repair shop & pay them to do factory reset & unroot. Now I pickup the device & it has been unroot and stock roms again. The problem is it still cannot OTA update also.. I thought after return the phone to standard unroot & factory reset it will be able to receive update. No luck here.. any advise?
Waste MYR60 for this. That's about 20usd. Demmm
