You'll most likely be able to root and S-OFF your phone if you took it but as always it's best to do that BEFORE you take OTA's, or even better wait until someone elses does and see if anyone complains of not being able to S-OFF. Down side is you won't be able to take the OTA's at all after rooting and doing S-OFF, you could still manually flash them but not take them from the software update section of your ROM.

Thanks may I ask which OTA are you i dont heard about OTA is comming out till mid september

I'm not running stock so I can't really tell you what exactly I WAS on. I can on the other hand tell you the firmware I'm on which may or may not be the same because of the custom rom I'm running.
ROM Version (firmware version I think): 1.54.401.5

Thanks

ive never seen a changelog from HTC ^^
Android 2.3.4 adds videocalling if I am correct. But we I don't have the official rom on my phone so it's worthless for now. Let's hope some cooks will cook up new roms out of this one.
pardon my ignorance, just jumped ship from BB to android. can someone explain why this release is a big deal? does this release mean that a new slew of ROMs are gonna be slated to come out due to changes in optimization?
after OTA update

Just have a little bit of patience.. It seems S-OFF phones can't flash this, S-ON can. However, while you can turn S-ON again and flash the ROM, chances are you are not going to be able to make it S-OFF again because HTC fixed an exploit used. Just wait for a few hours 'til someone uploads this ROM to XDA as a ZIP file without HTC's bootloader. For example Baad just stated he'll be updating InsertCoin based on this OTA update. That way, you can keep S-OFF and still have the new ROM.

Once rooted and S-OFF, you NEVER EVER install an official HTC RUU. It could patch the root/S-OFF exploit. Don't be impatient and wait for Chefs to cook some ROMs, or face the consequences.
I'll suggest you just flash back your previous ROM, if it's still possible.

for your information this is what bootloader mode look like, if you note where it did say revolutionary it now says "locked"
This is obviously the new hboot that HTC are using now, i can only assume it would change to *** UNLOCKED *** when using the web tool from HTC (although the above phone is already S-OFF)
Mine is also saying that now, gonna have to wait on either the Revo guys to crack it or do the HTC stuff - it does still say S-OFF though

[Q] JB RUU released?

Hey quick question that requires a simple answer: Has the JellyBean RUU for S4 been released yet? If not, can I flash any JB Sense based ROM on to my current 2.31 RUU based firmware?

RUU's are intended for emergencies if your phone gets bricked and what nots; not for updating your phone. Of course you can flash any ROM as long as you fast boot the boot.img. Best of luck. and keep a 2.31 RUU incase the phone somehow bricks. (Just relock the bootloader and follow the instrucitons)

Yep pretty much why I was asking this question! (I have superCID). What do you guys think of the new radio that comes with the JB OTA, is it better that 2.31 RUU radio? Thanks

Actually, more importantly, does it fix the issue of WiFi dropping out when the device sleeps/or after the screen is off for a while? THanks

Well you need to unlock bootlader, you can do that with official htc website, then you need to root your phone and flash custom recovery. After that you can do nandorid backup in custom recovery. All the information you need is here.

I think it's quite difficult for me to do that and my warranty will go away... Really, is there no other way for this? Sorry, I really want to help, but I think I'll brick my phone if do that...
Im on 4.0.4 (cid 032) and still no update for me (checked minute ago )

You can try with this tool, it suppose to work on all devices even with unlocked bootlader and unrooted phone.
just updated my phone too. i didn't even know that there was some issues with the camera and the speakers. my phone is having problems with some evil demons inside it, i only hope that this update exorcised it!!!!
isn't there some release notes for this update, so that we know what are the improvements and what bugs were fixed?
it's probably the bugs that are inside stock jellybean . someone back it up so we could use the update copy of the jellybean stock rom but for the hboot 2.11 like me we will have a slight problem dude the different hboot

Question about the new firmware coming

Hey guys I have a question about this new firmware possibly being released in September. I am all about updating and making my phone up to date, but coming from the LG G2 i have some fear in this. For the G2 if i wanted to update anything..firmware and all I could flash in the custom recovery, but from reading on here I would need to do it through adb. Well question i am told from digital that his GPE will no be affected or broken if I dont update or update. Does this include all aosp roms, and GPE roms?

Yes it does. I totally understand your caution for updating firmware. If you are s-off then you have no worries when it comes to updating the firmware, you will still be s-off after updating. Being s-off you can downgrade the firmware as well if you want.

No it wont affect aosp. Someone will end up posting a firmware only zip that you can flash via fastboot. This will be the easiest way to get updated because you won't have to ruu to get the ota.

[Q] S-OFF for LP

Hey everyone, just recently acquired a HTC M8 for Verizon and I need to get S-OFF achieved. Just to make sure that I've been reading correctly I need to gain temporary root for Sunshine to do its thing for S-OFF.
The phone is on LP 5.0.1 with 4.17.605.9 for the Software number. Is this the correct way to get TWRP and custom ROMs going, its been a while since I've owned a HTC.
Been doing some searching through the forums. It seems some people had issues with sunshine and LP. Anyone know if I'll end with a paperweight or what?

Alright, just to make sure I've got the steps correct. First I should update to MM (I'm gonna do HBoot). Once MM boots up then I run sunshine and let it do its thing. After sunshine I should be S-OFF and allowed to install TWRP?

Haven't been able to flash yet, will probably get to it today. Thanks for the help man I really appreciate it, gonna have to see if I can get something built for it afterwards.
So I ended up getting it done over my weekend without any hiccups. Hboot upgrade to MM through the link provided. Sideloaded sunshine and followed the steps without issue, thanks for the help man.
