Hi guys. Could not find a straight up answer to my question due to the fact other people seem to do things different. Here is my question:
My phone came branded from Three UK. Firmware version was 1.26. Anyways i unlocked through HTCDev and flashed custom recovery. Anyways flashed ARHD latest version and that is based on 1.28 update.
Here is my main question.
Since i have done a backup of my stock rom on 1.26 can i just revert back to that and flash stock recovery and just update then OTA once an update is released? Or is there a different process to the whole thing? I know it is best not to flash a RUU since my phone is branded. But does the method i just suggested work? And can i still do it with unlock bootloader or does it need to be locked.
Any answers would be appreciated..Thanks
seriously no one knows the answer if i could restore my backup stock rom, flash stock recovery lock bootloader and then update OTA when my carrier releases it?
I did about the same thing yesterday but for different reasons. I wanted to make sure my radio and hboot were updated.
My process:
I reflashed the nandroid backup of my stock 1.26 rom first
flashed the stock kernel through fastboot
booted into the stock rom
downloaded the 1.28 OTA update and installed it
Reflashed the custom recovery
reflashed my custom rom
I hope it helps. So I didn't re-lock the bootloader first.

First of all you have to be totally stock (stock recovery, stock ROM(unrooted) and re-locked bootloader) if you want to get OTA update. And the most important info:
You can't get OTA update from different region
You can't change your CID or get super CID without S-OFF
Hello all, First of all I want to thank this enormous community for their massive support to the mobile platform.
My question has been answered many times but there is a problem that I am facing while doing it particularly with my phone,
I currently have unlocked bootloader with S-OFF and I am running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean RC3 custom rom by The Albinoman. I am now getting an upgrade and I want to give my phone to my younger sister with stock rom and S-ON with locked bootloader,
I managed to get to Froyo and GB version 4.06.605.3 with RUU/PB31IMG.zip images and got S-ON with locked bootloader. However my system refuses to update to 4.08.605.2 version.
The phone downloaded the update OTA but does not restart to install it. Sometimes when it restarts, It gives the triangle with exclamation error.
I tried flashing the it as update.zip from stock recovery and custom recovery as well, but it wont just install it. Be it S-ON or S-OFF or locked bootloader or unlocked one.
I tried to update to 4.08.605.2 from froyo and gb 4.06.605.3, but to no avail. I also tried running 4.08 RUU with 4.06 installed. The RUU would report a success but the software still wont be updated on the phone.
Do you have any recommendations on what to do?
Your help would be really appreciated

First, were it me I'd keep S-OFF and bootloader unlocked. The phone stays more useful that way, and it's your sister, not a random stranger.
Flash a stock ROM from recovery and call it a day.
That said, the RUUs should flash unless they're trying to downgrade hboot. Perhaps that's the problem?

Flash this http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot. It is the latest officially signed ruu.

Just to add to your collection, you can download the 4.08.605.2 complete restore RUU which I just found from the link that I am PMing you (since I cannot post outside links yet)
A few months back, 2 months to be exact, i flashed back my stock nandroid and then relocked the bootloader. So now it shows bootloader : relocked in fastboot.. i wanted to confirm that if i am still on my stock rom with a relocked bootloader, will i get ota updates from htc like a normal stock phone??

Yes if you have stock recovery and stock rom then you can get OTA's.
Bootloader can also stay unlocked
