[Q] Complete Stock - Non Rooted and S-ON - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Try to flash back to froyo and keep s-off just in case and fash the newest GB ota

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.

[Answered] Help with my Frankenstein Froyo? 3.26.651.6 RUU now found!

Here is the RUU for 3.26.651.6
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A9AI5RM9
Ok, I have had my Evo for a while and have had it rooted with NAND unlocked and eng bootloader running cyanogenmod nightly builds. That is until yesterday when I got all willy nilly about trying to go to the stock froyo ota.
So this is a description of my willy nilly as far as I remember.
I figured I had to downgrade to 651.1 so that I could apply the incremental update so I followed an unroot back to stock tutorial and reflashed with this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
But when I tried to get the update and apply it, it failed on signature.
So I tried to follow this guide. So now I am trying to downgrade with RUU method and HTC sync.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743192
This keeps on failing even after several tries but eventually I boot back up to the rom (651.1) and the signature works and I get upgraded to 2.2!
Yay, so now I am at 2.2 with a different (locked) bootloader that comes with this OTA update. I also have stock recovery and no root now. But I also have SU app that I cant remove and some stuff just gets wonky. Like when I try to update google maps, the phone just reboots.
So what do I want?
I want some signed way of just loading the full update 651.6 without root and using the stock recovery. Or maybe an RUU file for this update that will just get me to stock froyo, no SU app none of it.
See the rom I upgraded from probably was modified more than I thought it was and thats why I am having issues.

[Q] Hopelessly Stuck in 2.1 With Evo 4G

I am stuck in Stock "Firmware Version 2.1-update 1" with Software Number 1.47.651.1 and even though I constantly check for OTA updates, the phone says that there are no updates for my phone.
Here is how I got here: I got my Evo 4G a few days after it came out. I was an early adopter of Unrevoked and Unrevoked Forever (S-Off). Things were great. Eventually, an OTA slipped by and forced my phone into a boot loop. I was able to use Clockwork to restore one of my backups and then avoid further OTA's.
I decided that I wanted to go stock, and get to the newest OTA. I used the RUU method to get my phone back to its stock rom. Then, the phone found two OTA updates. I thought that it probably had to update in several steps instead of jumping right to the latest update, so I just accepted the first two OTA's that it found. Unfortunately, the phone will not find any more updates and I am stuck with 2.1 (1.47.651.1).
I also noticed that when I boot into recovery, there is no "recovery" there. I see the word recovery, but when I select recovery it takes me to a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. I tried to download and install the 2.3.3 OTA Rom by renaming it to update.zip and putting it on my sd card, but I got some errors and it would not install.
I wonder if having S-Off has anything to do with the phone refusing to find the newest OTA updates? Or maybe I need a new radio? But if I reverted all the weay back to stock, wouldn't all of this been taken care of during the RUU method?
If anyone can help me get to the newest official version of Android, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks very much!
You need to install a recovery, I suggest amon-ra, then download a rom and flash it through recovery. Sounds like you just don't have a recovery installed
We're comin from a pure power source.
But am I unrooted now that I went back to stock with the RUU? If so, can I flash a recovery?
Thanks!
once u get to the little evo with the exclamation point, hit volume up and power at the same time. It takes u to a stock recovery. Or just flash a custom recovery as said above as a PC36IMG.zip flash a custom rom and viola! Or the other method u can do is take it to a sprint store and have THEM run the stock 2.2 RUU, get you to 2.3.3 and you should be able to update to the OFFICIAL AOS but of course as with anything stock, you run the risk of losing full root. But I doubt it because I just rooted a stock evo with the latest 4.54 OTA update just fine. hope this helps. Good luck with any way you choose to go.
Whether you are s-off or s-on doesn't matter to run the latest 4. 54 ruu. Download it and run it. U will then have latest software. Then if ur not s-off go to revolutionary.io and get s-off'ed

[Q] JB OTA fails with the red rectangular

I have an unlocked HTC One X, running Stock Rom and CMW recovery. CID 621. (never installed any custom roms, only CMW recovery and unlocking the phone)
I haven't updated my phone in a while since OTA failed due to the recovery. Last night I reverted back to the stock recovery and updated, successfully, OTA version 2.18.751.7.
After updating my One X informs me there's a JB OTA update, 3.14.751.20 but when I try to run it, it reboots, shows the green progress bar for about 30 seconds then shows the red rectangular of failure (rebooting starts up the device normally).
I tried reflashing the stock recovery, tried the recovery from the latest RUU for my CID (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Chunghwa_2.17.751.2_Radio_2.1204.136.21_release_275588_signed) but the OTA update keeps failing.
I also tried disabling SuperSU and used Voodoo Root Keeper to disable root, still the same red rectangular. Tried using the nandroid backup and running through the updates again, but same issue (2.18.751.7 installs correctly, but 3.14.751.20 fails).
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Maya

Have you tried relocking your bootloader? 'fastboot oem lock'
Also, maybe try flashing the stock kernel as well?
Did you remove anything?
You might try running an RUU if you can one one new enough, or restoring a backup (there are threads here for both backups and RUU, but look on htcruu.com, the device is endeavoru)

I'm hesitant about flashing a kernel, as I did not change the original stock one, and it feels too risky.

I thought about that, but the most recent RUU for my CID is older than what getvar is telling me (INFOversion-main: 2.18.751.7. latest RUU I found is: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Chunghwa_2.17.751.2_Radio_2.1204.136.21_release_275588_signed).
As to relock, I went through quite a few similar threads and in all relocking did not make any difference. Also, if that was the case, I don't think the first OTA update would have gone through.

I think the update to hboot requires it to be locked, your previous update was most likely ok with the hboot it was on.

Then look for a backup of your ROM version in the backup thread.

Sorry to be a noob but what do you mean? I thought I couldn't use a backup older than the one listed under "main version". Or am I confusing things?
Edit:
Can I install the most recent RUU?
INFOversion-main: 2.18.751.7.
latest RUU is: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Chunghwa_2.17.751.2_Radio_ 2.1204.136.21_release_275588_signed.
Update: locking the phone did not help
I locked the phone, but the update still fails at the same location. The green bar expands for about 20 seconds, covering about a quarter of the bar, and the the red triangle appears.
You could always attempt to update the firmware/hboot manually download it here for your cid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376

the tool looks easy enough, but they ask to include the custom JB rom of my choice. I want the Stock update, so what do I do?
The manual update list points to a broken link. I did find it somewhere else. How do I manually update? are these the commands?
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
do I need to unlock my phone again? can I use the same Unlock_code.bin I got from HTC last time (saved it) or do I have to go through the process again?
I'm asking all these questions because I don't want to end up with a bricked phone.

There are a couple of really good stock looking ROMs on there with enhanced performance. There's one mentioned in my sig, it may also be the easiest route out of your issue using the tool posted above

Yes I am running to issues... turns out that manually flashing the firmware.zip just got my phone into a bootloop since it turns out you must install a custom rom after it. I did not want to install a custom rom just to get the OTA update to install. now my phone keeps rebooting and I'm waiting for ADHD to download (takes FOREVER! for some reason).
This really sucks. I wanted to stay with stock, and it looks like I can't even go back anymore, can't even restore with a RUU.

There should be a RUU out for your region soonish but Until then, a stock style custom rom is a brilliant option beleive me

You can restore an older backup, it's just like installing a custom ROM.
You might also be able to install a 2.17 RUU on 2.18, I'm not sure the hboot was updated. It's also possible to dissect an RUU and install the bits manually.
You have a few options.
i am having the same issue, I have the stock rom (never flashed) on a rooted phone. So i relocked the bootloader and flashed stock recovery, but im getting the red triangle when installing the update.
OP, did you already find a solution?

I hope you did this the other way around......first flash the recovery and the relock the bootloader.....
But if you are on stock rom, kernel and recovery you do not have to relock the bootloader, it updates fine with a unlocked one.

How did you install the ota if you wasn't stock? Have you tried clearing cache in fastboot or factory reset?
Id of said find the correct Ruu for your cid and relock your bootloader and then run Ruu while in fastboot to get it back to stock. If that's your current Hboot, then it hasn't updated to Jellybean.
You can't update from custom with an official ota. Now you have to run the old ICS ruu, then install all the otas until you reach the JB ota
ahh i see. so what is the best solution to get JB rom then?
1.
relock, change hboot and install a custom JB rom?
2.
relock and install proper ICS ROM and then do a OTA update on that?

Id of said 2. Find the correct Ruu for your phone and then relock bootloader and put it into fastboot. It should run Ruu then and you will be completely stock and ready for OTA.

Can i flash the OTA from the official thread to get newest firmware and then go back to ARHD 11.1 to fix this?

In order to fix the long boot times you would need to update your firmware which can be done via this thread. You don't have to flash everything if you don't want to, you can just simply flash the stock firmwares which he has as a single download in his thread.
Alternatively yes you can accept this OTA, but the way mentioned above is easier.
Take note those aren't meant to be flashed in TWRP or CWM, those are for RUU mode which you should learn about if you don't know how to do it or what it actually is. You can find instructions for it all over these RUU threads.
What is ARHD? I've never used it....
