So after relocking bootloader, I tried to install the update, but it brings me to the bootloader screen instead. How do I get the update to install? Thanks
For OTA you need stock ROM and stock recovery:
fastboot flash recovery signed-recovery.img
For RUU you need to be locked:
fastboot oem-lock
(is that the right command?)

i tried to relock the bootloader just now but it keeps on rebooting to hboot so i just unlock again and it booted fine albeit being factory reset.
so the question is, after i fastboot oem lock , what should i do to reboot it normally instead of reboot to hboot?
do i need to download RUU exe file and execute it?
i also re flash original recovery since i don't feel like using custom ROM for the time being, i just want to wait for official OTA.
If you want to go back totally stock, then yes just run the RUU again.

It will not boot if you have custom rom installed and oem locked. Hence it keeps rebooting into bootloader with a some warning on the top.
Unlock it again to resume the boot and lose all the settings or run a ruu as suggested before me.

beware if you have a 1.28 based rom (or updated OTA) i dont think a 1.26 based RUU will work. I didnt for me, i had to flash CWM recovery again and a .zip with 1.28.
so we need a new RUU to get back to stock if we have updated hboot.
Hi I want to restore back to three uk firmware run my bootloader has been unlocked from htc dev unlock and I have a custom rom with touch recovery I have downloaded the stock uk three firmware run but not sure what to do next would appreciate some instructions.
1. Restore backup you made before flashing the custom ROM
2. Manually flash the stock boot.img
3. Manually flash the stock recovery
4. Relock bootloader (optional)
did not make backup so is there a plan b?
are you going back to stock to send phone off for repair?
If you are then run a backup of your current ROM from recovery first and copy SD to your PC for safe keeping.
1. Boot into fastboot
2. Flash stock recovery, found here (if you were on 1.26 before flashing custom rom then flash the 1.26 recovery, and 1.28 > 1.28): http://www.androidrevolution.nl/ARHD/index.php?dir=OneX/Recovery/
3. Relock bootloader: fastboot oem lock
4. Run RUU (phone needs to be in fastboot, and correct drivers installed onto PC for RUU to detect phone).
Edit: If you were on 1.28 before custom flashing then make sure you have the 1.28 RUU
Info found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190
thats the thing i dont know what it was on 128 or 126 i tried to flash the 126 ruu and it failed so i presume its going to be the 128 ruu file so does it mean i have to flash the 128 stock recovery aswell or does it not matter.
If the 3 UK 1.28 RUU is available then you just flash that as the recovery comes with it. Remember you HAVE to relock the bootloader to run an RUU
Well i ran the 126 ruu and it failed it said something like get the correct bootloader after i did all the steps flashed stock recovery and relocked bootloader.

Have a look at your hboot version, if it is 43 then you probably have the 1.26 stock, if it is 94 then it should be the 1.28. I have the 1.28 3 RUU here, will see if I can find the download link for you.
Edit: Here is the post to the download link
my hboot reads 0.94.0000 so downloading 128 ruu thanks for the link so what stock recovery do i flash 26 or 28? i dont know what i had before.

you will need to flash the 1.28 recovery. unlock your bootloader first, then flash recovery, then relock again. you can use the same unlock.bin file that you got off HTCDEV to unlock the bootloader.
yep i already unlocked the bootloader just waiting for the download to finish and will post my results soon thanks for the help.
Thank you i can confirm this worked 100%
You're welcome
Hi,
I need help. I did an ota update from htc to improve battery performance on my rooted phone. Now the phone is not rooted anymore. I'm still on stock ics rom, how do I reroot the phone again? Do I just follow the same procedures when I rooted it the first time? Thanks in advance for any help.
Performing the OTA update will cause boot loops with most of the custom roms such as CM10 and AOKP. To successfully run a custom rom you should revert to an older RUU then reroot the phone and choose the custom rom of your choice. Here is a link to the older RUU you need to be able to run most of the custom roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094373
if you have relocked the bootloader,u have to unlock it again.for this,place the Unlock_code.bin file u received from htc for unlocking ur bootloader the first time in the fastboot folder.(or the platform-tools folder,whichever u have).then boot into bootloader and go to fastboot.then connect phone to pc.then just flash the token using-
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
select yes on ur screen,ur bootloader is now unlocked.
now flash a custom recovery by placing the recovery_name.img in the fastboot/platform-tools folder and flash it using-
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
once recovery is flashed,flash this zip in recovery-

I'm still on the ROM the phone came with. I did not install any custom ROM after I rooted it first time. Do I reroot by doing the same procedures like I did the first time? i.e. unlock bootloader through HTC dev and use primo superboot to root.

yes
edit:just flash the zip i linked you to in recovery after flashing the recovery.u can also do the superboot way but this is more simple...

Great! Thanks for the help, I will give it a go.
I am stock rooted with custom recovery. When there is an update available, how would I go about updating? Can I do an OTA or will I be able to flash the update?

You need stock recovery for OTA updates.
If you're S-OFF you can flash update of course.

I'm not S-OFF, my phone was updated and patched from the factory. How do I update?

You need to flash a stock recovery, stock recoveries can be found here - COLLECTION of Stock backup's once you have the recovery for your device, unzip it and place it in adb folder. Open command prompt and cd to adb location. Connect device to PC, adb reboot bootloader >>> fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
After you flashed stock recovery you'll need to relock your bootloader in order to install OTA. fastboot oem lock
Once you're done relocking bootloader, fastboot reboot in order to reboot device, go to software updates for device, download and install OTA.
Done.
Hi. I'm now on unlocked htc 10 with s-on. How can I back to clean, stock, oryginal condition? I tried to flash stock via ruu.exe and adb but it is failed. Relocking bootloader nothing helped. I tried some things but i got lost in this many theards. I will be very grateful if somebody help me and show me instructions. Actually i'm on m firmware.
boot into fastboot & paste the command below
copy the results & post here (remove imei from the post)
PHP:
fastboot getvar all
As you mentioned flashing the leaked nougat ruu ill assume you're on 401.x FW with the lastest ruu being 1.90.401.5
1. install twrp, restored untouched system & boot image, flash stock recovery
2. s-off downgrade to 1.90.401.5 , relock bootloader & run ruu
i see you edited your post
1. Rename zip to 2PS6IMG.zip
2. Copy zip onto sd card
3. Boot into download mode (download mode should detect the 2PS6IMG.zip)
4. Press volup to flash
Also flashing this will wipe your data , and it may render your phone *impossible* to receive future ota updates as it's an unofficial release from htc.
For example: lets say htc released a new nougat ota which updates you phone to 2.3x.401.x , that ota may only update phones on FW 1.95.401.4 & not 2.28.401.9
You would still be able to flash a 2.3x.401.x or above ruu (if available) or you could s-off & downgrade to 1.95.401.4 then accept ota
Personally i wouldn't flash it as yet as the official OTA is only around the corner (HTC said Q4)
@Diz so the 2.28.x is for unofficial/developers? Can I do it on unlocked bootloader?
Ps. i want to do it without s-off
