[Q] flashing the new OTA ?

So I just flashed my phone for the first time yesterday with a new rom and now I want to try the official OTA 1.28. How can I do that ? Should I flash the official 1.28 rom using the CWM recovery ?
Thanks

As you have Clockwork installed you cannot update OTA. If you want the 1.28 update now then you would need to relock your bootloader, flash the 1.26 RUU and then update OTA.
Otherwise you will just have to wait for the devs to update there roms with the new base.

Also waiting for an answer, im thinking maybe flashing a stock then relocking the bootloader should do it?
Annoying is it not!

Ok so i think i'll wait for the devs to update their roms. ty for your answer

Yep Bronco (mod for CWM thread) has confirmed
-reflash stock recovery
- relock
- restore RUU
you can still unlock and reflash CWM after that so I'm gonna do that, as long as I got my titanium its not too bad, just a bit lengthy

Be patient - within 48 hours we should start seeing custom roms with the 1.28 baseband

The above info is incorrect. You do not need to flash the stock recovery as the RUU will do this anyway. So just relock bootloder and run the RUU.

System updates ?

Hey sorry if this was addressed already in another thread. Just picked up a One X yesterday. I've since unlocked bootloader and rooted phone. Just playing with stock rom for now before I jump into custom rom.
My question is, I keep getting notifications for system update available. Should I avoid these updates ? don't want to loose root and unlocked bootloader
Thanks!

Just do the update and then re-root - bootloader isn't touched once unlocked unless you manually lock it yourself

If you have already flashed a custom recovery, you will need to flash back the stock recovery to apply the update.

Yeah when I unlocked bootloader, I immediatley flashed cwm. Hmmm seems like alot of flashing back and forth for these updates.
Should have done all the updates first I guess
Maybe I'll just flash an already tweaked rom

When you update it updates your hboot as well as your rom. Its worth pointing out that if an s-off exploit comes out for an earlier version of the hboot you might not be able to downgrade. If you're not having specific problems such as screen flicker I would not update.

If you do upgrade then given the number of problems people have it's also a good idea to make sure a RUU is available that matches the version you intend to upgrade to. That way if everything goes south you can flash the RUU and get it back up and running.

How did you revert to stock to use ota? I've been using mikes stock rom on my brothers hox but it always shows no updates. Can you please explain the procedure in detail, what rom were you running before updating and what you did to update?
His cid is VODAP021, phone bought at vodafone but optus sim is inside.

Well you find a RUU for your HTC device and use that. You must have stock recovery.

New all that already but thanks anyway. Thought there was something else. It's kinda difficult to go back to stock since the right ruu for my brothers phone is only hosted on filefactory and requires a premium account. If someone has this ruu: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Voda-Hutch_AU_2.17.862.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_275359_signed.exe and could provide a no-premium-account-needed link, that would be most helpful.

I use mike's roms too, I think he blocks the update option so you don't even see it.
1. Download the Nandroid Backup form here. And install it via recover/ touch recovery.
2. Install stock recovery via fastboot, I used the Stock HTC Recovery 1.26-1.29 (wasn't sure which one mine was to start with) get the download also from here.
3. Relock bootloader Via HTC DEV
4. Now you have everything stock, do OTA via the setup/abouts/update menu.
5. Unlock bootloader Via HTC DEV
6. Install Touch Recovery
7. Install mike's roms

You can skip step 3. Bootloader doesn't change so no need to relock and unlock again (saves lots of time).

Nandroid Backup please
Hi mate,
I have an HTC One X from Vodafone too (CID: VODAP021).
Been trying to find the Stock RUU or Nandroid for the past week, but no luck.
I will greatly appreciate if you could share your Stock Nandroid Backup please.

[Q] Will Rooting my HTC One M8 disable OTA Updates?

Hi Everyone,
As mentioned in the title, its a very simple yet important question.
Will rooting my international and unlocked HTC One M8 prevent me from receiving OTA updates on stock rom?
Thanks

You will receive OTA updates so long as you are on the stock rom with stock recovery (with stock CID or S-OFF) though I recommend having S-OFF if you intend to do so as an extra precaution.

Be sure to check my edit. HTC OTA/RUU's have bricked phones with a modified CID and S-ON on previous phone(s) so I recommend having S-OFF just in case.

You might lose some standard apps, but since they are on the data partition, which unlocking wipes, it shouldn't cause a problem.

Ok I'm on the TWRP recovery, how do I restore the phone back to stock recovery so I can do the Verizon OTA update?
BTW its a Verizon M8
I have been searching for this but haven't found anything about it.
Thanks

fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.zip
Make sure you get the correct recovery, Verizon versions are odd, aren't they?

how do we check our cid?

[Q] How to update hboot

To install CM12 on my One M8 it tells me that my hboot version is too old.
My current version is 3.16 and I need 3.18 or 3.19 any ideas on how I do that since i didn't find anything myself.

your hboot is old you must be on a custom rom for a long time. Am I correct?
are you on s-off ?

Yes I have since I got the phone about half a year ago and I'm in s-on.

Since you are S-On you will have to go back to stock to take the OTAs to update your firmware (contains hboot). That means stock recovery and ROM, plus an unmodified system partition.
If you were to go S-Off, you could update the firmware manually.

Can you tell me if I need to be S-Off in order to flash back to stock because I don't really understand it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

@xunholyx
Thanks for reply, but how should it be possible to flash manually the rom with S-ON when I receive the message the I have to update hboot?
Is it possible to download the hboot as a .img?

You don't need to be S-Off to flash the backups. You just need the ones that match your CID and firmware/hboot.
You can find the 3.19 hboot .img files to flash with a simple google search (I just tried). Make sure that is the proper one for your model, and please realize that the hboot is a critical part of your phone and any corruption will brick your device.

Excellent guide, with downloads for many firmware versions (you didn't give any details about your phone) below. I personally always use Method #2:

Hasn't been updated since it was rooted I see. And that was two years ago. That's a long time.
Hook up to your PC, get into ADB/fastboot, and enter the command fastboot getvar all. Remove your IMEI and serial# first (and MEID if you have one) because that is private info that you should never share on a public forum.
With the information from the getvar, I will be able to direct you on the proper firmware download.
Telling me the hboot version doesn't tell me enough to link you up. It does let me know however, that instructions on how to update aren't enough. You need direction on how to find the firmware for your particular model of M8.
I'll also give you instructions on how to flash the firmware.
You could also go to this thread instead, and learn on your own. It's all in the first couple of posts. It's very informative.
Of course you can post back here after if you have any questions about the process
