I'm trying to update my Evita phone to the newest Sense 5 OTA. Currently, I'm on 4.0.3. I've modified the **** out of this phone previously, I have SuperCID and the bootloader is unlocked, but I flashed a RUU before I gave it to my brother and now the hboot is at 1.01.0000. Radio is 0.15.3201.09. Phone is currently unrooted. I'm wondering what my options are now.
I have the OTApkg for the Sense 5 update, but when I try to apply it in stock recovery, I get an error like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note that I did do this on stock recovery and did not wipe beforehand. Not sure if it makes a difference, but based on the error, I think I may have to update to a newer stock version for it to work? I'm not 100% certain, but I figured I'd put this out there before I did anything further to avoid messing things up. I'd appreciate some quick help on this. Thanks!

That hboot and radio number are really old. It was actually a leak before the phone was even released. That is a pretty weird RUU to have flashed.

It absolutely makes a difference. The phone needs to be up to date in order for the OTA to install. OTAs often do not have all modules present (such as hboot modules). They just include what has been changed since the previous OTAs. Meaning if the OTA had actually installed (on your device which is missing several OTAs), you probably would have bricked your phone.
You need to update to 3.18 before you can install the Sense 5 update.

Hi all,
You may need to bare with me a little with all of this, I'm extremely new to it all.
I picked up my Nexus S on Monday after previously owning an iPhone and then a Windows Phone 7 handset, firstly I have to say that I can't believe I didn't get an Android phone sooner - they're leaps and bounds ahead of the competition in my opinion and offer a much better!
With the help of a set of instructions I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery to use Clockwork 3.0.0.5, from there I was able to install Superuser from the ZIP to root the device.
Everything is working and rooted but whenever I try and get into the Clockwork recovery it keeps chucking me into the standard recovery, I've tried from the bootloader and from ROM manager.
The problem I have is that I can't backup my ROM because it just takes me to the standard recovery and sits there.
I had a look around but couldn't find anything relating to this on the forum.
There was mention of something called 'sgs kernel flasher' but it states it wont run on Gingerbread which I'm running.
Any ideas?
If you have any questions of something I may have missed out I can answer those!
Sosmething very similar to me recently. I just reflashed the clockwork recovery via adb/fastboot and works like a champ now.

Thanks for the help guys, as I said I'm quite new to all this so sadly the thread title:
"Q about cwm 3.0+ and 2.3.2"
Didn't quite stick out to me!
Problem sorted now though, all backed up and new ROM installed - happy days!
I recently purchased a rooted HTC One X, the phone is currently running 4.2.2 Liquid Smooth and hasn't been updated in probably a year. Do I need to update TWRP recovery first then install whatever rom I want to use?

More information needed. Please post your bootloader details and your current recovery version.

Here's pictures of the current bootloader and TWRP version.
You have some work to do. First thing you need to do is get s-off, try the Facepalm S-off method. Then you'll need to update your firmware, go to the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature for download and instructions. Then you need to flash the latest TWRP, you'll find that here.

So I've gone ahead and followed all of your steps, have s-off, updated firmware and an updated version of TWRP. Is it safe to say I'm good to go and can flash the rom of my choice?
Yes, your phone is now able to run any current ROM.

Twrp 2.7.1 rocks! ?
Hi folks, I've been updating my phone using the latest rom I can find on this site for my rooted (bootloader unlockable) Bell mobility D6603
One of the things that has been driving me crazy is that I always see the notification that a new software update is available but it can never 'verify' the software for me to download it. So I end up trying to find the equivalent on here which is getting really annoying. Also I'm thinking of selling this phone so I would like to find a way to stop these messages and to see if going back to a stock rom will allow the phone to update the standard way so I don't get emails from the buyer claiming I sold him a busted handset.
If anyone can help me out with either a way to get the phone to update without having to do it manually, or a way to flash a stock rom that does, that would be much appreciated.
Here's a screenshot of my current install:

The reason it cant verify the update is because you are rooted.
Find and flash a stock ftf for your device through flashtool and you will be fully unrooted and be able to download updates ota.

Yeah, I having this same exact issue. It's driving me nut because all I want is my stock s7 back :crying:
So after three days of constant research, I have come to the conclusion that I'm slow. This entire time I was trying to flash unroot a phone with links to firmware from forum post made four months ago. Im pretty sure we can see the problem in that. So long story short I found this beautiful website with (great) download speeds called sammobile, from there I was able to find the latest firmware that led me to bring my beautiful phone back to stock goodness! So in my concluding statement I have to thank you xda for actually making me learn something.
I can't put a link but for you sfear2ugf just go to sammobile and look up G930T in the searchbar and use the latest kernel.
Good day all,
I'm currently running the latest firmware update for the SM-S908W model One UI 5.1 Feb 2023.
The notification icon pallet is driving me nuts and I know there are work arounds, but I am interested in downgrading from One UI 5.1 to One UI 5.0.
Is simply flashing the stock firmware in Odin capable of accomplishing this task or is there a possibility of bricking or other unforeseen issues?
If it is possible, can someone direct me to a guide?
Please and thank you!
You can usually use Odin to downgrade, provided your bootloader is unlocked. Keep in mind that certain bootloader versions will not permit downgrading.

Thank you!
I used this video as a guide. I can confirm I have successfully downgraded to One UI 5.0!
Make sure you download the latest Samsung USB Drivers (https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver) so your device is recognized by Odin.
Cheers

You can downgrade as long as the binary is the same.
You don't need to unlock the bootloader
