If you install the update you won't be able to flash ROMs or kernels. It installs a new radio that causes boot loops.

What version of Android is it running and what steps have you done to reach this point?
It sounds like all you need is the s-off tool found on Unrevoked's website but I'll see what you say first.

What hboot version are you on? You need to flash the misc img first to allow the downgrade to 2.2 You keep getting the too new error because hboot wont normally allow a downgrade. But flashing the misc image tricks hboot into thinking its on 2.2, allowing you to reflash 2.2
I tried flashing the misc. Image zip. It said failed.

Flash it in recovery correct. The hbott version is 1.2.0000. Does anyone have a link to that misc. Image zip? Maybe i got the wrong zip.

Have a look at the op of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258, start at step 28. Hboot should be htcdev unlocked first if its not already.
Ok ya thats another thing. I tried htcdev unlock it wont go. Get stuck just b4 the unlock token part. I will look @ this link though thanks for the help. Ill b back to update my proggress.

do you installed the right stock recovery for your stock rom? it must match the base number of your rom ...
Hmm, maybe not. I'll look into that, thanks.

The software version and recovery version are both 1.28, so I don't know what's up with it.

Have you disabled or removed any stock system apps?
I had similar problem after restoring stock recovery and OTA update was still failing until I restored apps I had disabled.
example: I had disabled by renaming 'Weibo.apk' to 'Weibo.bak', and OTA update kept failing until I renamed it back to 'Weibo.apk'.
In other words to perform OTA update you have to restore all system apps also.
hth,

Good tip, yeah I probably did have disabled system apps to be honest. I've gone and installed the latest ruu now, takes the hassle out of things.
Thanks for the help.

I don't see any harm in taking the update. Afaik it is just a radio update which can be reversed by running the ruu back to an older version. Try it and let us know your results.
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
It brings me to the cwm recovery menu and when I locate the update -sdcard/downloads/update that's where it is, it says this software could render your phone incompatible but it's an ota update
So it should work. I'm just scared to brick this phone I just got it two days ago so I could return and say it's not working I want another but I got it on sale and I don't know if they would do that or if I have to pay the extra 100$ which I can't do. Do if it doesn't start up what could I do to fix it? Like when you flash you have to fastboot a boot.zip file right? How do I do that? I'm still on stock obviously and I have a backup of my current status and completely brand new stock, thanks guys

To install the OTA update, you'll need to restore the stock recovery, stock kernel, and most likely relock your bootloader. If you are using Virgin Mobile, be warned, the OTA is not compatible with any roms or kernels available now. If you try to install any custom roms or kernels, you will be stuck in a bootloop and will have to RUU back the older version to install them.

Ok thank you I am using virgin mobile but I like the stock phone I feel changing roms is too much work and I feel as if I won't like them plus I need a computer 24/7 and also I don't feel comfortable with switching back and forth all the time if I don't like anything. Mods can delete this if they'd like I got my answer thank you guys

What Rom did you try flashing? Is your hboot status s-off and what method of root?

Sorry i am pretty noob at this stuff. How do i flash and then pull the boot IMG?
google the guide to installing roms with htc dev unlock
The boot.IMG is in the ROM zip file , use s file manager and open the zip and copy the boot.IMG , then flash it in fast boot or push it through Adb

I also still don't see this boot.IMG file i have googled and looked everywhere. Can you tell me exactly where it is?
Sorry for asking so much.
It should be in the rom zip a file named boot.IMG . try unzipping the ROM , maby you'll see it then
If I wasent in a 1000 ton injection mold machine I'd be more help

OK I'm outta work , re-reading your posts I believe your are confused , when you unlocked your phone through HTC dev unlock its different than fully removing the security or "s-off" . the way you have to flash a ROM being HTC dev unlocked requires an extra step in the flashing process , which is after u flash your ROM eg. CyanogenMod , for it to boot you have to extract the boot.IMG of that particular ROM and flash that separately from fast boot . there is no universal boot.IMG like you tried googling. The file should always be there .
There are threads that better describe the process better but hope this will help you start to understand the process
