Hello. I have an unrooted and locked version of the US dev version. I currently am running 2.18.617.1 and software update gives no update to 2.18.617.21 available. How can I fix this?

I was having this problem as well. It ultimately led me to downgrade to MM firmware and use LineageOS rom. I am rooted, with S-Off, TWRP recovery, unlocked bootloader. I have even tried to RUU back to 1.57.617.20 (which removed root and TWRP) and updated OTA from 1.57.617.20 all the way up to 2.18.617.1 but after that, it would say that my phone is up to date. However, you can go to the RUU collection thread and download the latest RUU, or it's also available on the HTC website.

I'm currently S-ON and have non rooted stock ROM. I wonder if my phone would be rootable if I apply the official OTA update? Since it installs new HBOOT, would revolutionary be able to S-OFF it?
Check the revolutionary.io website, it pre determines before you download whether if your current setup is rootable.
I don't know if you can S-OFF and root after the update, but I DO KNOW, that you better don't do it before the update.
I have S-OFFed my phone using revolutionary and rooted using this su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip through the clockworkmod. But after latest OTA update I wasn't able to boot anymore and it pretty messed up my phone. After 4 hours I was able to repair my totally useless phone hopefully.
Hi guys,
I relocked the bootloader and did the OTA to the latest Telstra 1.89
So now that I have played with it, wanting to see how the stock ROM worked / looked I am wanting to go back to 1.81 so I can root and flash some of the great ROMs coming out.
However when I run the RUU (exe version) 1.81 to downgrade its coming up saying ERROR [140]: Bootloader version error.
I have been able to run this RUU before and go back with my XL but not now?
Any ideas.
Anyway I found away around this.
I unlocked the bootloader again (which I thought u needed root to do but turns out u dont), installed TWRP then booted to TWRP and loaded a new ROM!!!
awesome.
My phone is currently rooted, but I'm running the stock T-mobile rom. I just checked today and there was an update available. Will installing the OTA update causes any issues or brick my phone?

You will loose root I believe.
Sent from my HTC One S running ViperOneS!
It will update your HBOOT though, and you need stock recovery.

Back when I was still on stock Android 2.3 I got an OTA update asking me if I wanted to install ICS I ignored it and proceeded to flash 3.33 firmware and install Cyanogen10. Recently, I used the TMOUS 1.27 RUU and went back to stock ROM and whenever I go to the update settings it does not prompt me or can find the ICS update. Is there a way I can get back to a point where the ROM would be able to find/receive official OTAs again?
(I know I can install the official ICS through RUU but I want to get my phone back to a state where it can receive official OTAs again)
TMOUS 1.27 RUU is the latest for the Tmous version iirc
so its obvious that you wont have any more updates

Its gingerbread though...
downloaded the RUU for my country but it gave me :
ERROR [191]: ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED
My current software version is : 1.20.720.1 ... android 2.3.3
It says it needs version 1.57.720.1 for HBOOT update.
I haven't got any OTA update ( I also checked manually) to update to 1.57 version.
I couldn't unlock bootloader because of this and I still don't have root. and custom roms ..
Any help will be appreciated.

I tried by running ruu_chacha_htc_asia_wwe_1.57.707.2........ google it and you will find the RUU. run the RUU in administrator mode and you might have to try 2-3 times. Not remembering exactly how many times have to run it, but finally could upgrade and could generate "Unlock_code.bin"
I used customs ROMS and the best I found was SuperOSR chacha 2.5
Today only I have managed to downgrade to 1.20.720.1 and successfully restore the indian RUU. So now my Chacha is back to factory. Locked again.
