I'm currently running Android Revolution HD v11 (or maybe it's v9.7). My carrier, Optus Australia, seems to have started rolling out Jellybean which means I can finally get HBOOT v1.3.x. My question is, how do I get this update? I assume I need to re-lock the phone and rollback to my stock RUU before I'll receive the update? How do automatic OS updates work on android. I've never got one.
Yeah, you need to return to stock.
There are lots of threads about this.
You can run RUU, or restore a backup and stock recovery.

Im running the socalled tmobile stock rom with the virgin media logo. An over the air update has come up... is it safe to install or will it brick my phone?
The reason im running the stock rom is becuase i went back to it becuase of the aps2sd scare with pauls first public rooting method.
But as this isnt the propper tmobile rom will installing this update brick my phone?

nutsy
Yes it is Modaco R 3.1 is based on a 1.21 ROm ;-)
Thanks for being wrong.
Ive now lost wifi on the phone. Not bricked but no wifi...
If you read the long thread in General you'd see this happens using the OTA update. The full RUU I used (in my sig) didn't have this issue but it does update your HBOOT to 0.80. If you're not bothered about that you can give it a go but I'd suggest rolling back to 1.15.405.4 again as it should work again and then go from there...
Hi guys, I've been searching the forum for a while but I still can't find a solution/reason for what it's happening to my DZ, which I bought from England and vodafone branded.
Soon after the first configuration I upgraded to 1.72 as suggested, but I couldn't know that rooting was then no more possible. I didn't want to be stuck on a vodafone branded and only-english rom, so I debranded succesfully my DZ by downgrading to a stock htc 1.34 rom (RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed), obtaining then permroot + superCID.
Now my rom speaks italian (as I wanted) and is rooted, but if I check manually for updates, I get only a message telling me that the phone is updated and there are no new upgrades available.
I tried to:
- look for updates before rooting and with s-on (CID vodap_001), waiting even for 1 week
- put back the gold card I used to downgrade and then checking for OTA
- check for updates with root, superCID and s-off
Is there any reason for that?
How can I update again to 2.2.1 (1.72 & 1.83)?
ps: I prefer a stock rom for the moment instead of a custom rom
Any help/opinion is appreciated!
There won't be any OTA updates once you've rooted and de-branded. And if there are, do not accept them, as they will either fail or possibly unroot/brick your phone.
Your option will to be to find a rooted, stock ROM that comes with the latest OTA software package already installed. Check the dev section, they have a list of ROMs. You may not be able to find the exact specific ROM you've currently got, but there are many choices that can come close.
First of all, thanks for prompt answering martonikaj.
I thought I could receive and install ota updates since there was a stock rom with superCID in my devide.. which is different from having a custom rom like Virtuos.
What about users telling they had downgraded-debranded-rooted their DZ and can receive and install successfully OTA updates??
Flashing a rooted stock rom implies wiping everything.. and I prefer to avoid that.
There's a rooted 1.82 stock ROM at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960149 . Really if you're going to make that huge version jump you should do a wipe. Back up your stuff with Titanium backup first

Sorry but in all my times rooting and modding devices, applying OTA updates has never been something that works with rooted devices.
Unfortunately, yes, if you want to upgrade to the rooted version of the latest OTA ROM, you're gonna have to wipe everything and start from fresh with the new ROM.
Same here
Hi,
The same thing is exactly happening to me. My phone keeps telling me that there is not update but the software number is 1.34, which from what I've read is an older firmware. Shouldn't my phone be able to detect the update?
The question isnt whether rooted is better, but why our phones are not receiving any ota. Granting that stock rom is not better, the problem is there is no notification at all that there is an update.
FYI, I have flashed an official rue version but still has s-off. :-D I don't know if having s-off would prevent the phone from finding an update.
Think about it this way people: when you mod your phone by rooting, it's like cutting the imbillical cord with your carrier/manufacturer's update servers. Don't worry about why, just have that mentality as it will make all your lives easier. If you rooted, why would you want a stock rom that limits you?
If you want stock with sense, go for GingerSense, Vitruous, etc..
If you want stock w/o sense, go for any of the other pre-rooted G2 roms.
I really don't understand why people would complain about OTA updates when you can backup and update to a rom of your choice whenever you want. Plus, if you don't like it, you can revert! Something you cannot do with a stock OTA update.

Sent from my Virtuous Desire Z 1.0.2 using XDA App
Hi I would like to know if there would be a problem if I flash the official rue of an Asian desire z with a european version or vice versa?
I bought my phone second hand and I decided to flash the 1.34.707.1 version into my originally 1.72 desire z. Now my phone cannot find updates. It keeps telling me that there is no update even if check manually.
I know that I can flash a higher version by downloading a higher rue version but what I wanted to find out if I can no longer receive ota updates because of what I did.
Since when I was in 1.72 my phone did not notify me of the 1.82 update too...
I don't know what's wrong.. Please help. Thank you.
I think if you are SuperCID and S-Off, it would work. Otherwise, it won't let you flash the ROM from another region.
Also, if you flash an official ROM, you will lose root, and you can't get it back on any ROM version higher than 1.34. For this reason, if you downgraded to 1.34 for purposes of rooting, you don't want the OTA updates, anyway.
If you're rooted and S-Off, and you want a more updated ROM version, just flash the Virtuous custom ROM. Its mostly stock 1.85, but rooted, and with a few cool added features and some optimizations.
Hi, the thing is I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to rooting. I read the posts here specifically in the wii section and I don't think I have the skills to pull it off and risk bricking my phone.
I think my phone is not rooted or it was before but not anymore, since as mentioned I flashed an official ruu.
So basically, I should still be able to receive OTA's from HTC right? I was wondering why my phone keeps telling me there's no update when the software number is 1.34 stock and not rooted. Shouldn't it notify me that there's an update at least regardless of whether I want to or not?
If you are not rooted, why did you downgrade to 1.34?
I also don't understand why you want to flash the RUU from a different region. If you aren't SuperCID and S-Off it won't work. Why not just flash the latest official RUU for your phone versions/region if you want to be updated and don't care about root?
I'm not sure why your OTA's don't work. I'm still on 1.34 (well, back to it), and I still get notifications to update.

I bought the phone from a friend of mine. I noticed that it had eng hboot and had s-off.
I have zero knowledge about rooting. When the gingerbread test rom for the desire z came out, I flashed the pc10img.zip via the bootloader, however since it was very buggy and laggy, I decided to flash stock desire z rom.
Having no knowledge about rooting I read some of the threads in this forum and learned that flashing an official rom i.e. the RUU would be the easiest way to return back to stock.
It worked, I am using stock rom. I experimented and found out that I can flash any of the RUU, so I chose any of the WWE release. I decided to flash an older firmware version specifically, the 1.34.707.1.
Now the problem is my phone doesn't prompt me with an update, even after checking in about phone > check for update.
I still have s-off but eng hboot is gone. To clarify I was not the one who rooted the phone, so I have no idea what to do.
Is it possible that the previous owner tweaked something in the phone that would absolutely prevent it from receiving OTA?
I am just worried since I have a feeling that the gingerbread OTA will be released in a few weeks since the update for the Desire HD is already out.
Please help and thank you again. I extremely as a NOOB!

I wouldn't worry about getting the official Gingerbread ROM OTA. It will probably be posted here or at shipped-roms.com long before you would get it OTA.
Hi, probably going to sound like a N00b question but I haven't yet found answer that fits.
If I have a HOX that is running v1.26 and I root and ROM to something using v1.29 or anything higher than 1.26 can I use the RUU for 1.26 that fits my CID to revert to stock?
Only reason I ask is that I have already had one HOX that I managed to well and truly kill that my provider has fortunately replaced for me (although they don't yet know it's been unlocked!).
The Mic died after a few days from root and ROM onto RD MIUI, but as I had performed a full wipe I had no stock backup to revert to when I then wanted to get it replaced, and so ended up trying all I could to find the RUU for v1.29 but there was only v1.26 available. So I've had to send back my faulty handset with a different ROM on it.
Just looking to avoid a repeat in the future.
Thanks
(Please try to keep your comments helpful rather than mocking)
It is the hboot you can't downgrade. As far as I can tell, it has been updated with every release of the OTA.
If you root and install a ROM with a newer base, the hboot won't be updated (unless it's a newer stock ROM updated by RUU or OTA) you can still go back to an RUU with the same or newer version you have now.
Hello.
I know this question has been asked before, but my problem is a bit different.
I did it successfully in the past (Post #13 here)before on a different M8 I owned, but this time it doesn't work and I can't figure out why.
I am currently running GPE 5.0.1 ROM on my M8 Unlocked with S-ON. Before moving to 5.0GPE, I had stock sense 5.0.1. I tried running 5.1 GPE but due to old firmware I had WiFi stability issues, so I returned to 5.0GPE.
Now that stock sense 6.0 is out, I thought I would try getting 6.0GPE installed. To do that and get all firmware up to date, I need to return to stock sense and OTA it to 6.0...
I restored my old backup of sense 5.0.1 and flashed stock recovery. From this point, I should be able to do OTA to 6.0. When attempting to OTA, after downloading some minor 5.0.1 update and restarting, phone got stuck on recovery screen with a message 'Package expects build fingerprint of 5.0.1, but found 4.4.2' (or something like this). This is weird because I was running official 5.0.1 before moving to GPE, but whatever...
So I got a TWRP dump off XDA of sense 4.4.2 (1.54.401.5) and flashed it. Then, I attempted OTA update and successfully upgraded to 4.4.2 (1.54.401.10). I then tried another OTA update to 4.4.3 which also completed successfully, but after booting into system my WiFi didn't work at all. That means the firmware has not upgraded in the background, which was the whole point of doing all these stupid OTAs.
I got lost at this point and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
tl;dr how to get back to stock and be able to do full OTA updates
Any ideas?
