Are there any working procedures to take this OTA. I am rooted, unlocked, ability to boot TWRP, and ability to go S-OFF. How do we take this update?
Right now, only way is RUU to 1.15.617.4 then take update.

Yes I know, you need an untouched System Image. Since you were rooted, uninstalling Magisk and becoming unrooted, it was still touched. Right now there is only one way to take OTA, that is downloading RUU.zip. Placing it on SDcard and booting to download mode. You will also need to have a 32Gb SDcard as mode will not see the zip. Once you are completely stock you can take the OTA.

Dude, no need to wait. This is the only solution right now and might be ever. I had to do it too, even restoring system.img from ruu.zip in twrp didn't fix it, because there are other partitions tempered too

For me and others with magisk installed it didn't worked out. Flashed stock boot, but something else seemed to be triggered...needed to flash ruu and take backup with twrp of the system_image and vendor_image in case something goes wrong again . Leedroid fixed it with those backups

The OTA failed for me also. I am also having trouble flashing an RUU. Can anyone point me to one? A guide would be great too as I am sort of a noob.
I have tried everything...asked everywhere.... Nothing at this time. I would love a guide.....nothing yet.
I am going on a few days with little sleep but can someone clarify why we need the OTA and can't just flash the firmware once available?

You got a device with permanent S-OFF? Flashing back boot seams to work on those, but on S-ON/unlocked devices with temporary S-OFF another partition seems to get tempered and checkt later on during the OTA process. Don't know which on, but all S-ON devices, that had been unlocked and rooted up to now had to RUU back to take the OTA successfully. Applies to such fellow members as @LeeDroid as well. So I'm wondering what you did different to all those affected.

No I have a regular production device. Just like normal, I don't use Xposed and never mounted system RW so just flashing back the stock boot img worked fine for me...same as on previous devices. One other possibility is my device shows status official (sunshine does that), maybe the ota update is checking that.

Well that might be it. Will run sunshine and test again, as soon as I got time and restored the software state back to official.
Edit: hope I understood correctly. SunShine does temp S-OFF and set the flag back to official from modified in the same step, right @beaups!?

Hi,
I have this AT&T one x, (I m using on NON AT&T network), so cant have an ota update.
Looking at few forums, downloaded the OTA version on XDA (631 Mb)
Saw people writing, that just rename the file to update.zip and then go to recovery and choose install from internal memory.
That dint work for me.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then few people wrote to choose install from external mem.
That dint work either.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then saw few people saying that I need to root my device and unlock bootloader.
I dint that, and tried from bootlaoder to install from zip.
That also dint work.
Now saw, I few wrote that i need to be S - OFF.
Which I tried doing it, but i m not able to do s-off for myself.
Pls pls pls.... can any of you EXPERTs out here help me.
Waited like for AT&T to release the update, now when it is out, i m not able to make it through.
Your step by step instruction would be highly appreciable.
Be aware, that if you have the AT&T version, and you are rooted, then you probably have SuperCID (in fact, you must have SuperCID, unless it was already changed back). If you have SuperCID you must S-off (or return to the AT&T CID) before applying the OTA, or you will brick your phone!
I am not all that familiar with the process to install using OTA.zip (and haven't done it myself), but it was discussed in these threads:

I tried this method couple of time before : unlocking, rooting and S-off ing
In this case , do i need to relock my bootloader and stock recovery?
If yes, where can i find stock recovery, i have deleted it.
By "i deleted it" do you mean you installed a custom recovery? If so, yes you need to get stock recovery back on.
Only way I know of to reinstall stock recovery is to run the 2.20 ruu. Since you're s-off, you don't need to relock; just run it.

You probably have a custom recovery. Reboot to bootloader and select recovery and see what you get. If it's TWRP, you'll get a teamwin splash screen and then some options. Stock recovery will just show a screen with a green circle.

I have already done that.
And now in case anyone needs help, i can help those people out.
Coz the method is simple, but it is not at all explained clearly in any of the threads.
It has come in bit and pieces.
I have noticed one thing.
That after installing the update and again unlockin the bootloader and rooting, I am not able to see "TAMPERED" being written in the boatloader.
Also, now when I am rooted and also have SU permission, I m not able to switch on my WiFi tether with the files mentioned in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677261
The "TAMPERED" flag goes away when you're s-off and flash a new hboot.
I believe wifi tether is blocked on the new AT&T base. You can flash a custom rom on the 3.17 base and it should work.
Downloaded the new ota for boost. I am s-off with unlocked boot loader and installed twrp. Do I need to go back to stock recovery and relock to install? Thanks

@banderz777 and @biga1, If you are S-Off you do not need to relock the bootloader. If you are S-On then you must relock the bootloader. You will need to flash your stock recovery to proceed with the OTA, then after it finishes you may flash back your TWRP recovery.

@ biga1 are you S-OFF or S-ON ?, or just try locking your bootloader and see, you do still have the unlock bin from HTC.
@Modding.MyMind I am S-OFF. I do NOT have my unlock bin from HTC anymore :crying:
The OTA is applying a lot of patches to your system directory. It is always recommended that you have all apps whether bloatware or not which originally came on the device to insure the OTA doesn't abort. If what the OTA is updating isn't found on your phone then it will terminate. You can get another unlock_code.bin by simply redoing the steps again over at htcdev.

It does. Stock recovery too. But you will be rooted so you can download flashify and flash your custom recovery of choice. It would be a clean slate if you think you got malware.

Yes. Stickers fix is meant to be flashed in twrp after you reflash twrp so only one SD card needed there.
If you want to be able to flash your custom recovery from within the rom you can download and use the app flashify to do so.

Did anyone try out last night's software update? Any noticeable changes?
Initial observations: Up-gradation and initial boot up takes quite some time. What is more noticeable is the phone heating up during this process.
Found the OTA: (OTA_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.12.617.6-1.11.617.5_release_458832.zip) however TWRP nor stock recovery + stock boot will install it.

Noticed that the storage menu in settings has a new set of options to format the sd card or use it as internal storage. Before it was only a button to unmount. if I remember correctly. Oh and I can't get root. I'm flashing back until I can find a modified boot.img that works

That was always there, but i don't think it shows up until you enable security

what problem are you having with root? I didn't have any issue re-rooting after the update

I've been trying that one too but then after I reboot it just hangs at the HTC logo with the red text for about 20 minutes then I just end up giving up and reflashing

*currently feeling like the dumbest person alive* thank you.
I didn't get the system update notification..
I'm rooted on unlock version ..
I've read that some people get the notification.. how is it possible
Trying to keep this short but i seem to have messed up. I was trying to get back to stock with this phone so i've been trying to use the RUU to flash back to stock. I keep getting the 22 RU_HEADER_ERROR when i try the RUU sd card method but i read on here that you may need S off to make it work. I was in the process of flashing a custom rom (Bad Boyz rom) just so i can be rooted so that sunshine would work but system won't mount. Looking for options before i mess more stuff up

If you flash a RUU that matches your cid/mid you don't need s-off. At least when you upgrade your OS Version and not downgrade.
A "fastboot getvar all" will help us to provide you a correct RUU version, if there is one.
About the system not mouning:
you most likely checked in twrp to mount system as readonly.
TWRP-MOUNT: Uncheck "Mount system read only"
I have the correct version but i keep getting the above error.
Also i did uncheck read only for mount system. I think i may have messed up something when i relocked the bootloader with custom rom and recovery then unlocked it again. I must have messed up something then. The ruu seems the only option. I'm trying to flash the same one i have installed which is the 1.28.617.6 on the spread sheet for the us phone but keep getting the error. You said i need s off to downgrade but not to upgrade. So do i have to wait for newer software?
Seems more like it you have a bad download. Did you check the md5 of your download?
Yep, bad download.
Also, why do people re-lock the bootloader? I don't see any gain from doing this.

agree, unlocked bootloader breaks safety net. So if you decide to return back to stock/non rooted you would need to relock to be able to pass Safety Net again.
That would be the only reason for me.

Sorry been away. Yes i checked it, downloaded it more than once to be sure and checked it in cmd. Now to be sure on the HTC U11 google doc spreedsheet, the RUU (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...EYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/edit#gid=2137120377) is the recovery option at the bottom right? Thats what i been downloading, at this point i could be messing something up
