Hi.
Will I get the much anticipated update if my S3 CPU HTC one s is unlocked, rooted and having installed a custom recovery (r1 I think)?
Thanks a lot

If you unlock bootloader and root device your gs3 will not be able to install ota updates

he is talking about HTC ONE S3. Not Galaxy S3.
I think you need to relock your bootloader, and flash back stock recovery to get OTA working.
Else, just relock bootloader and run the downloaded RUU in fastboot.

Normaly there should be the first custom roms availible a few days after the release. But we'll have to wait a long time to get the jelly bean update because we don't have even the 4.0.4 update yet.

HTC Malaysia at least will not confirm whether S3 HTC One S will receive Jelly Bean at all even.

flash your unlock token again, then flash twrp, then flash a rom or flash supersu zip
So as long as my bootloader is unlocked I can do everything as normal like install other roms, etc right

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.

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.

Is stock recovery linked anyplace here? And can I fastboot flash it? Or do I have to ruu to get it back?

Ok found recovery buried deep in ota lol. So just flash via fastboot then install ota? I'm s-off so I won't have to relock?

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.

Should be Ok to run then.

So I recently got a new device since I lost my 4g on my last htc one s and unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, rooted, all that good jazz but for some reason I flash a custom rom and it doesn't get past the htc boot screen. I was able to flash new roms on my last htc one s no problem but can't for some reason. The only difference I can say is that this new one received the ota jb update. Any advice? I'd like to be able to get back to my jb roms...

did you flash the boot.img file?
I didn't but the roms I've tried flashing didn't require that. Or at least I didn't think so. I.e. Slimrom and deviantx....

Hi guys,
I'm looking to root my HTC One S (S4 Plus) to remove junky bloatware by Vodafone and to change the crappy Vodafone bootloader which seems to have knocked out the startup HTC sound of the device (and yes I have tried adjusting volumes).
I really don't want to brick the device as it's still 10 months until my contract is over. I've never rooted a phone before either.
Do you have any advise and perhaps some tools for newbies?
Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestion.
Are there any side effects to rooting apart from the obvious bricking possibility?

I've had the device for 14 months so my warranty no longer exists anyway.
Anything else?

I'm assuming you mean the recent 4.1.1 update from T-Mobile? I live in the UK. Vodafone sent out the 4.1.1 update back on December 25.
Well you can unlock boot loader but I think you need to use moonshine s-ofd to get s-off if your going to do it

Okay, thank you for the help.
You don't have to s-off, do you? I'm still running SON & had the latest update as well. Did have to use the htcdev website to unlock the bootloader, but it's alot easyer. Considering you're not really going to be a power user, that might just be the way to go...
Just remember you have to flash the boot.img using fastboot if you're going to use custom roms, appart from that I've not had any problems with it.

I'm looking to unlock the bootloader/root the device while still being able to download OTA updates (if anymore come...) and keep HTC Sense, if that's possible?
Simply to remove Vodafone's crappy bootloader that seems to have affected my phone's default bootup. My One S doesn't play the HTC startup sound, but my girlfriend's does and we're both under Vodafone via 24-month contract that ends in May.
I've used this procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
Works pretty well .

I guess. The One series (2012 and 2013) isn't even listed on the HTCDev website to unlock the bootloader. Perhaps Vodafone took the liberty of locking it instead? They've already plastered crap in the app drawer, that it wouldn't surprise me.

Well, I'm guessing custom ROMs would provide the latest version of Android wouldn't they? So I doubt OTA updates would be necessary (especially since HTC just ditched this damn phone). My only concern is if I could get Sense 5.0 as well?
I've heard of TrickDroid 10 having Sense included? I'd expect this phone to support the latest versions with it being fairly powerful.
I tried to root an HTC one x. But is says tampered and unlocked. But I can't do anything else. What can I do to root it? It runs android 4.0.3 with 2.20 and hboot 1.14
