So I finally unbricked my phone by using the RUU to restore my HTC One S. Now I am relocked (checked the boot loader), unrooted, and fully stocked. Does this mean that I will be able to get future OTA updates from T-Mobile USA? I read somewhere that if you RUU'd your phone, you won't get the updates? So will I get the Jellybean update OTA when it comes out? And I also have the stock recovery. Everything on my phone is stocked now and everything is working fine.

My phone was rooted with unrevoked, then I went through the steps to unroot it. I am s-off on the phone and back to stock but I still get the ! message with the droid guy when trying to apply the latest update. What exactly do I need to change or fix in order to apply this update? PLEASE help!
It's possible that maybe your phone doesn't allow FOTA unless you're S-ON. I've seen weirder things.

If you are s-off then you're still rooted. S-on is unrooted. This shouldn't matter. Maybe your phone is different but Evos can receive ota updates while rooted. Your ROM however must be COMPLETELY stock. Not a stock ROM intended for a rooted device with busy box and super user but stock as in ALL system is unmodified.

Yup, as long as you still have the attribute S-Off on your phone, than you are rooted.
Connect your phone to PC and connect the HTC Sync software, then run the original RUU from the PC. That should do the trick.
Your problem might be that you have uninstalled or frozen some bloatware that came with the original rom. Apps that come from the service providers like vodafone apps etc.
Hello!
I have recieved the Android 4.0.4 OTA update but am unable to install it. I had unlocked my bootloader but havent installed any ROM, and tried to do the OTA update, the phone shut down and booted up to the fastboot menu.. i relocked my phone and tried again, same result.. I called HTC and they had no idea, they got me to turn off the fast boot in the power settings, but that didnt work!
What do I need to do to get the OTA update to work?
Based on your avatar, you are in Australia? Not sure what the firmware changes are for your region. But in the US, the latest 4.0.4 firmware also changes hboot, and plugs the holes by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery. In other words, not being able to install the OTA may be a good thing. It might be better to install one of the rooted stock ROMs in the Development forum.
Can't say for certain, since my US carrier (AT&T) does things so much differently than anyone else. So hopefully some folks in your region can chime in.

Hey thanks for the response.
Yeah I am in Australia, but I would like to get OTA Updates until Im comfortable with properly putting new ROMs onto my phone..
My service provider (Optus) took it's sweet time to release this update and their only solution is to take it into their shop to get it repaired/looked at..
If you are rooted, you may need to unroot.
You may also want to try finding the OTA file on the SD card and deleting it, and trying to download it again.

Yeah, Ive unrooted it.. I relocked the phone and ran the stock RUU for it.. but after a day I haven't received the OTA notification.. so I might have to wait a while for that to come back I guess..
Ok, so I have a HTC ONE X and i've had it since September and I have never gotten the 4.0.4 update. I contacted my provider (AT&T), they told me that they made the update available over the air. I went to my Settings app and clicked Check for Updates and after about a minute it went back to the same screen. I then contacted HTC Customer Support and the guy told me that they never made it available OTA. I'm confused. Is there something wrong with my phone? Help!?!?!

Att sent it ota....though you might be able to do it manually.... Don't talk to HTC employees about software its a random response every tome nothing is consistent....I do recommend rooting it and flashing maybe just a stock rooted Rom if that's what you like

huh?
So you are on the 1.85 firmware?
If you have any desire to root, flash custom ROMs, etc., my advice would be to not update, and root the phone now. The 2.20 firmware includes an updated 1.14 hboot which plugs the exploits by which boot.img and radios can be flashed in recovery. This means that flashing ROMs takes extra steps of extracting boot.img from the ROM and flashing it over fastboot. You can't flash radios at all on the new hboot (with the exception of CM10 radios). People are actually downgrading the hboot, so they don't have to deal with these things.
Once rooted and bootloader unlocked, you can just flash any ROM you want, including stock rooted 2.20 or newer versions firmwares.
If you still want to upgrade the official way, and can't get the OTA, you can flash the RUU. It will wipe user data, but IMO this is a better cleaner way to update than OTA, anyway.
here is the ota http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_EVITA_UL_...2.7-1.85.502.3_R2_releasenin45grzkfswb95v.zip

As I'm getting ready to send my phone into HTC to be repaired. I have 4.4.4 RUU'd my phone, and in the process of getting s-on and root removed, I somehow am stuck with superuser as a system app, what should I do?
Since I know I can get s-off on 4.4.4, I haven't let my phone upgrade to the lollipop ota. Do I need to re-root and remove it?
Also, if I send in my phone to HTC, any chance it won't come back updated?
Thanks for any help! ☺

Which ruu did you use? Some come pre rooted.
If you go the general thread, first pinned post the first link in that post are unrooted ruu's you can flash when s-on. Just needs to be the same building you are on. You can't downgrade if s-on

Ahh, perfect! Thank you so much!
In case you still would like to know, I used a rooted RUU for 4.4.3 I believe and let it update to 4.4.4. I have not however let it update to lollipop because I know it's currently impossible to s-off on Verizon.

They will update it. And if they replace the board you are screwed too as not only will you be locked out but needing a new sunshine license as well.

I actually got s-off prior to sunshine being a thing, so I've never had to pay for it anyways! Thanks for the info!
OTA came down this AM for HTC One A9 US Unlocked.

I'm so glad I wasn't the one who paid for my AT&T branded A9. AT&T is really living up to their crappy reputation with this phone.
Translation: no OTA for this device since early December.
Here a Link to the OTA Update

Edit: Have not seen the Link in Post1. :cyclops:
Now you have two Links
^No worries! Redundancy is a good thing!

didn't provide much info on your phone, soff etc.
But anyway, I'm SOff, and to get the update I did a complete wipe in TWRP. Then, flashed the stock 1.56.617 recovery. Then, RUU with the official 1.56.617 from HTC.
Then, took the OTA. The RUU kept blowing up, had to do recovery option several times, and finally it worked and RUU back to stock, before the OTA.
After OTA. Flash TWRP recovery, Format Data. Then, Super SU latest...now rooted with custom recovery.
Had to reinstall everything, and also back to xposed now on 1.57.617 version.

after I ruu stock , when I try to update it tells me I have modded system. Got it booted and rooted, only problem now I flash xposed it acts as if it's install meaning the optimizing app notification but it's not installed..
The xposed thread on the forum talks about the Optimizing app issue upon reboot. Nothing we can do about it. And it only delays boot for me, like 7 apps, 15-20 seconds or so when I do reboot, which is rarely.
