Hello, how can I reflash the stock JB rom to my One S S3? I have flashed Superboot for Ville c2 in order to root and try changing the CID, but I couldn't change it... So I flashed back the stock boot.img in order to unroot and then relocked the bootloader. Now I'm on stock recovery and relocked bootloader. I have the OTA package: OTA_VILLEC2_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.102_16.22.20.03U_16.11.20.24_M_release_303237zzidki5gzxfkv5gs.zip.
Please help me to flash it so I can be sure that I'll get future OTA updates!
Also I don't want that SU application which appeared after flashing the Superboot for Ville c2
Thank you in advance!
Anyone...???

If you have Stock ROM with Stock recovery and you want tu update your phone, go yo About-->Software Updates section and Check Updates. This will prompt the updates you have.
if you want uninstall SuperSu, do a Factory Reset, this will erase all your phone (Make Backup Before).

I'm already on stock JB and the Check for Updates is not an option for me... I did a factory reset, but SuperSu is still there, so I want to reflash the rom... How can I do it?
guess, you have to wait when someone do a proper JB RUU. I need it, as well.

Is it possible to run stock rom with S-OFF, rooted device and CWR (with OTA available)?

Yes you can run stock rom with s-off and root access however I am not sure if OTA updates will still work. Even if they did work I would imagine you would lose root access once the OTA update has been applied.
So when I flash stock ruu.exe nothing happens with S-OFF neither root?
You will need the stock recovery to get OTA updates to install, they won't work with CWM
and with stock recovery I'll be able to create backups of installed roms? And how do I reinstall stock recovery?
thx
You can't backup with the stock recovery, no
Got it, thx.
And how do I install stock recovery?
Get it from an RUU, then flash it using fastboot commands
Android Recovery Manager
There is a much easier solution: Android Recovery Manager
Hi am having a problem after going back to telstra stock after being on rohans JB build 3. It was really bad at connecting on LTE so I wanted to go back to stock where I have less problems. So now the 4.0.4 OTA update is available which fixes the one of the main reasons I found a ROM, that stupid settings bar.
However when I reboot to install the OTA it just boots into TWRP (v 2.2.2). I cant manually apply update from within recovery. It just gives an error. If I reboot from recovery nothing is applied.
Android v 4.0.3, software version 1.89.841.9
Do I have to get rid off TWRP or find a RUU and and apply that image? Was there some boot locking thing I need to do through abd to get the OTA to work?

Pretty sure you have to relock your bootloader and run an RUU to get your phone to true stock. Then OTA. Although, if the RUU was based off 4.0.4 you wouldn't have to OTA. You can always re-ulock your phone after an RUU as long as you have your unlock token and/or super CID.
Did you just flash a stock ROM?
Also, pretty sure there are 4.0.4 stock ROMs out there that you could flash so you wouldn't have to relock your phone.

Thanks I restored a backup I made before flashing the ROM. Might try and find another ROM to see how 4G goes.
Fixing a connectivity issue on one custom ROM is not a good reason to go stock. I think the OTA needs stock recovery, so that is why you are getting stuck at recovery. Even if it works, you lose root. Its a step backwards, so why would you want to do that?
Just flash a ROM based on 4.0.4 from Development. You can pick a custom ROM, or a stock rooted one (safe to flash from TWRP), if you want stock.
If you are rooted, don't install a OTA or run RUU (unless you are trying to fix a soft brick). Good rule for any Android device.

Stock ICS Rom for cricket you will find here.
Download the OTA, unzip the firmware.zip inside, and unzip from firmware.zip the recovery inside. This you can flash with fastboot and OTA should work with it.
Otherwise you will find stock JB rom/backup for cricket here.
Hi just got this phone and need to update to 4.4.4 for roms to work it seems. Best way to flash the update? Is there a flashable one with TWRP or CMW?

I have an s-on ruu posted for 4.4.4 that doesnt wipe data. It's in exe form so it's very easy to run. After that flash your twrp and make a stock backup. Then flash away....
If we have s-off and are unlocked will it do any harm to just accept the ota from Verizon?

No harm at all provided you are on stock recovery and haven't modified system in any way.
Unlocked U11 with unlocked bootloader, trwrp recovery and rooted stock. Have not flashed custom rom. Steps to take OTA Oreo?
Flash back to stock. Use the firmware zip it is on now to reset. You should then be able to take ota's. No need to unroot, relock etc.
Flash stock unrooted FW due twrp?
Sent from my HTC U11 using XDA Labs
Believe I have bricked my device. Flashed RUU using appropriate RUU exe from HTC. Intaller ran for @1hour with 0% process. Battery was at 93% and ran to under 30% halting process. Had to disconnect to recharge. Will call HTC to see if they can help.
Update- All cool. Battery died, charged phone boots up fine. Still on stock. Need to restore stock recovery.

If I'm not mistaken, flashing back to stock with the ruu will in affect unroot your phone. You'd still have twrp and an unlocked bootloader, but you'd have to install SuperUser or Magisk again.
Am I correct?

Flashing back to stock with the ruu will replace TWRP with stock recovery, thus making it able to take OTA.
If it's rooted or TWRP installed, it will stall at beginning of OTA process .

What if you just remove twrp and go back to the stock recovery? Would it then break root?

You could remove root of SuperSU or Magisk and then flash stock recovery over TWRP.
Haven't tried that and not sure if it would work. A rooted phone won't take OTA.
Would save restore chores if you could.

only way to take OTA is go back to stock rom by using RUU (will lost data, back to stock recovery, unroot already).
On rooted stock rom, i tried unroot and flash stock recovery by ADB but it still cant install OTA update
Flashing back to stock will unroot and flash stock recovery. If you dont do it that way you cannot update ota as the signature of the firmware is broken. You have to 're-sign' the firmware by flashing it again.
Flashing stock firmware will NOT relock or lock the bootloader. It will NOT s-on. If your bootloader is unlocked and/or s-off do not change them as there is no need.
3 essentials for the m9 are:
Stock firmware ruu.zip
S-off
Charger cable.
