You can update with an unlocked bootloader, and you can update with root.
You will loose root after updating.
* But you must have a full stock rom, so no deleted system (factory) apps.
* You also need the stock kernel (only if you ever changed it to a custom one).
* And you need the stock HTC recovery.
Yea I took them all off lol. What's the apk for the notifier?

LOL ! Then its a lot esier to make backups with titanium backup, get a stock nandroid and restore that.
Otherwise you might be looking for days what you need to get 100% back to stock

Purchased a used G2 on ebay - phone was rooted and I believe CM7 installed - clockworkmod came up and I tried to install a custom rom and was only getting white HTC screen.
At this point I really just want the latest official gingerbread 2.3.4 on the phone (even if it means getting an original stock rom then getting the OTA update thru t-mobile). I don't care if its rooted or not. (Picture of HBOOT screen attached below)
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this from what I have on my phone at this point? If I just factory reset from this menu will I still have to get a stock a rom and put it on my sdcard?
Just flash the rooted version from the dev thread dude

Hi everyone,
I have got a rooted HOX, and I flashed what I think is a custom rom. I did this beacuse I am getting prepared for an ota update and my bigger question is if with this rom I will be able yo receive the official update.
Here are the details of the rom.
Thx.

As long as you have a stock recovery you should get the updates. It looks like you are on the 1.29.401.11 rom so you should. But you will lose root after you get another update.
As i see this is stock rom and you will have ota update.

You'll get the update notification, but it won't install.

Htc One X Venom ViperX Rom & faux123 b004b7 Kernel
Why root if you want to wait for OTA updates?
Because when I bought it it was already rooted...
In fact I dont know what to do... Stay rooted, or unroot it and receive OTA updates.

You certainly will.
As far as you come back to your stock rom, you will get your OTA. you need to download keeproot app from google play to stay rooted though.
Hi, I've been running a custom Rom for a while and decided to return to stock, so I restored my cwm backup, refreshed stock recovery and OEM locked my phone but my ota update still won't install, does anyone know what I've missed?

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.

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

On the HTC One unlocking the bootloader deleted the necessary apps for OTA updates. This was reasonably easy to sort out though. On the M8 is it much the same?
Yep, sure does!

As well as stickers for camera effects...anything in preload folder, gets deleted
Bloody HTC... No nead for that, well will just get those replaced in that case, thanks!
Weird, I still have all those after unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and installing a custom recovery...
I found this thread silly but haven't said anything until now... You should have no problem installing OTA updates so long as you are using the stock rom and stock recovery.
Custom rom replaced them...its definitely does delete the preload folder
