Most recent stock OTA?

I've been rooted for a long time using thunderstick full blown on 0.01.78.0906w_2 with imoseyon-6.1.0GBS+
Was just wondering when the most recent OTA occurred and how much better the performance might be over this rooted ROM. I'm getting a galaxy s iii in a few weeks but was just wondering what was going on with this phone, officially from HTC.
Thanks

In my opinion you're on the most stable radios, some of the mr4 radios do pretty good if you want I'll post a link for both as they are not a package. As i am going to the big boy S3 i wouldn't worry about it too much, bout one more week

I've not paid attention to OTA since rooting mine a long time ago as well, and am also wondering what the latest OTA is? (GB, ICS? Version? etc.)

The most recent stock OTA is Gingerbread version 2.11.605.19 710RD. More information on specific changes are at link below:

Am I missing anything by rooting/flashing a rom?

I keep seeing all these topics about OTA updates, and Verizon updates, and I feel like I am missing something by not going completely back to stock to update.
Am I?
Because as far as being rooted, I change the ROM I use, the Kernel, some root apps...I don't know.
Basically, is there ANY reason for me to go back to stock to update besides seeing how Official JB looks?
Thanks in advance.

Official JB (on Verizon) probably won't be out until like.. February of 2013. This update only matters if you have NO SIM problems when texting/calling.

When it comes to Verizon OTA's and being rooted, just wait a few days after its released for devs to re-base their roms on the latest update. If you want to certifiably maintain your root access/unlocked bootloader then it's better to wait and see when devs update their roms/kernels. Also, this is not a Jelly Bean OTA. We are months from a Verizon update to Jelly Bean. I'll be happy to be wrong about my 4.1.1 update estimate.

Cool, thanks for the info/link.
None of those updates matter to me, so I'm good.
Sticking to custom roms/kernels then.

Not a problem at all. I'm just interested to see if it can be rooted using the existing exploits. Less headaches for all the new folks who accept the update.

Returning to Stock

Ive had enough of running buggy, battery hungry roms and would like to return my Nexus S to stock. The last time I was on stock was 2.3.6 I believe. If I flash via CWM to the official 4.0.3 in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445570 will I then be able receive OTA updates, ie to 4.1.2? (obviously Ill be rooted again, but im not fussed)

Flash the stock images from Google and 4.1.2 instead.

Read the instructions, you need to use fastboot for these.

Buggy? Battery hungry ? You were in what ROM? All custom ROMs at almost 100% bugs free(especially CM10 and CM10/AOKP based). Weird ...

Dont have the time to setup the computer for Fastboot, couldnt get it working with Win7 last time out either.

Tried all sorts, Oxygen, NSCollab, early ICS roms (awful), others i cant remember. Best combo i had was stock 2.3.6/7 with a Kernel i think. I found that invariably they become less stable the longer you have them installed. Of course if you change rom a lot you'll never notice.

I'm with you, running stock 4.1.2 since it came out, only with custom kernel for BLN, highbigmem and voodoo sound and don't regret it a bit. A lot of free time and no need to update all the time;P

How did you root and unlock your phone then? Only way to do it needs an actual working connection with fasboot/adb. Even the 1 click crap uses that.
I guess nothing stops you from flashing 4.0.3 then going the upgrade route, but I don't see that as a very efficient nor a clean way to do it.

OMG, how can you stay with ONE ROM more than one week . No seriously, there is 2 ROMs that they're perfectly stable and full of features: CM10 and ParanaoidAndroid. I no longer look to other ROMs. And ParanoidAndroid is in my device more than 2 weeks

It would be hard to call CM10 something related to stable (same for any CM10 base ROM). Even they don't call it that. That's why the nightly tag is for.

Other than "stable" "nightly" "RC" WORDS, CM10 is completely STABLE(at 99%). And i know what "stable" word means. Source: own experience .

Managed to get ADB working on my old XP laptop, which i no longer have! Just tried to install it, and again the driver problem rears its ugly head. Just wont recognise the inf file! Like I said, dont really have the time, guess ill just have to flash to 4.0.3 and wait for the OTA Dont have the time to muck about trying to get the drivers working. Might give it one last bash with the SDK

Returning to stock requires a computer. Official OTA updates will not install without the stock recovery.

You'll see a lot of people still have complaints regarding functions that get broken with each version, only to come back working after the next one. It's silly to assume CM team doesn't know **** about development and simply tag "nightly", "RC" and "stable" for the sake of it. Please don't bring up made up stability percentages into the lot.
You can glance at the nightly changelogs yourself to see NPEs getting corrected in relatively core apps nearly every week. Not just for crespo too, but regarding CM10 as a whole.
I'll give you that though, on a day to day basis, the rom is very usable. But good luck getting a 1000 hours uptime without the thing becoming sluggish.

If you use all commands from the flash-all.sh script, yes. No need to flash the bootloader and radio if you already have the latest version.

No popular 3.17.707 JB senseless roms?

For the past 2 months I've been checking and downloading roms like JellyBam hoping that in some new revision it will support 3.17.707 . Of course, without this support; the touch screen doesn't work at all, which sucks, because I love stock jellybean, and it's all i really want to use, though I'm still very happy with venom.
Is there a reason there's seemingly a lack of support from CM10 / senseless JB roms for the 3.17.707 Build? I've asked the dev's of the roms via PM/Facebook but never get a response. If I had have known that upgrading my stock rom before trying these JB roms would have ruined my possibility i wouldn't have done it
I realise there are 1 or 2 roms in the mix that meet my criteria, however from what I've read they are rudimentary and missing some basic functionalities (camera etc). I obviously want my phone working right, with the added benefit of a passionate dev. Also quite annoying JellyBam lists nowhere the Build it uses, so I Have to download and install it, to then have it fail each revision the past few months in sheer hope that it will be upgraded to the newer build.
Also, who's a moderator I can contact. I have these harsh account restrictions and fixing typos or making basic information edits requires me to wait 5 minutes in between.

Rebelrom

not to be mean, but this topic has come up a few times. htc updated the firmware for the touchscreen in the ota. htc has yet to release the source code which, from what i hear, is against gpl. blame htc.
until they release sourcecode. desensed viper or the above mentioned rom are pretty much your only options.
i personally have tried downgrading my hboot in an attempt to work around but it did not work. i did not try running the original ruu though as my telus ruu no longer works after downgrading my hboot.
not sure if it would work but you could try relocking. use ruu, re-unlock then flash... never tried it so not sure. i also love stock android but alas thats life bud.

Thanks for filling me in on the situation, makes sense why there's limited support (though certainly hasn't stopped other roms). It's understandable, silly htc.
I've tried complete reset to stock, but afaik you can set everything back to out-of-the-box except for the Build... kind of blows, but i may be wrong, though I have made solid attempts to get past this issue.
Cheers for the input. I checked out RebelRom, might give it a whirl, though I'm quite tired of flashing roms back and forward, don't want to be disappointed again, and happy enough with venom; works well.

What method to "reset to stock" are you talking about? If you are talking about an RUU, there is no way to run one that has an older hboot version than what is currently installed on the phone. Downgrading the hboot might be an option, but I don't know if anyone on the 3.17 OTA has been able to do so successfully.
AFAIK, with things in their current state, there isn't much way to return anything of your phone to an "out of the box" condition.
---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------
You are limited to ROMs based on 3.17 firmware, until someone figures out what was changed by the OTA to make the touchscreen not function on non-3.17 based ROMs. AOSP ROMs are not based on Sense builds, so therefore fall into the "non-3.17 based" category. As mentioned, source code will probably help the devs figure out this problem. Plus, some 2/3 of the users here are AT&T. So when that JB OTA eventually roles out, you might (probably) see more movement towards sorting the touch screen issue out.
You realize that ViperXL has an option to de-Sense in AROMA? It would still be 3.17 based, but simply replacing many HTC Sense components with AOSP-style ones. Its not true AOSP, but it might get you what you are looking for. Similar to RebelROM, which also looks very cool.

Ok. Maximus is cool but i went back to beanstalk. should i try it or rather not

Just to thank you...
I pressed "Thanks" button. But who would say it's enough for someone who gave my One S a second life ?
About a week ago, I was pretty sure we'll get stuck on JB 4.1 with that good old Sense 4. That was good for me. I liked the phone for what it is. I liked stock ROM, even if the dark AOSP look and feel would have better suited my theme, but at least, everything worked fine. Our device has great battery life, makes marvellous pictures, brings a good sound for calls. I once was a flashoholic, but that was before. Always unlocking, modding, installing new things, with those bugs and missing functions... but I grew up since that time. I can't afford having an half working device anymore, so I calmed down.
I was stuck in the idea what I had was enough. Especially when I saw those useless threads about Sense 5 upgrade, which would come, then not, and recome, but in fact not... Boring and pathetic. And you brought another light of hope. YOU had that leak... You had the Grail. You gave it to us, Maximus HD is a great ROM, I've tried it for a day before you release the dump. It was night and day comparing Sense 4.I feel my phone is complete now. But I like vanilla flavour, so I've build a stock ROM for to fit my needs. You gave us another great gift.
Just a last time, thank you.

I did not get one thing. is this a leak of original hos rom to come or port from a different device?

It's a rom fully fonctionnal, but I think HTC will never release it, it's only for us flashmaniacs
But I wonder why the hell no one is using this 100% working rom as base, to bring us sense 5 with some tweaks ?

Because of the firmware update you have to do that's why us devs are trying to fix up our ports we have one bug left and it would be the equivalent of labs Rom
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

OK thanks, that mean with this new firmware some devs tools or other things about developping aren't good for now. Anyway, if everything has been resized and ported to One S, that's a good news

There always tends to be small bugs with the ports... Major ones tend to get fixed... But small ones overlooked or persist for a while. For example I could never get the htc media link to work from the ports (although maybe newer updates could fix that). And some may find a benefit in the firmware update too. But to each their own. Its just good to see dev still working on our One S... Im just waiting for custom kernels to get a bit better on either ports or this one... Always love what ShowP's kernel based Mpdecision does to battery life.

Thanks but what I ask is if this rom is orginally developed for HOS or is it a port made by some other devs. I had a glimpse from your post that it is coming from HTC but just want to make sure it is because all the other sense 5 roms derives from evita afaik.
