After searching the forum and reading many posts, it still is not clear to me if the 2.3.4 OTA (I'm being prompted for 4.06) will break S-Off.
When I rooted my Incredible using Unrevoked3, the custom recovery wasn't out yet or otherwise wasn't included. I believe that I am still running stock recovery (haven't flashed any ROMs).
If I do this update will I lose S-Off or lose root?
I know this topic seems redundant, but I haven't read a clear answer.
Thanks.
I'm wondering the same thing.
I just got the last issue on skyraider 4.3 working again, and I don't really want to start over.
This is answered in the q&a forum

If you are currently 's-off' the ota will NOT break root.

What if your phone is only rooted? If you update will you lose root? I don't actually own a dinc but my friends wife keeps asking me if she should update and if she will lose root if she does. Also if she has to reroot after the update do you know of any issues doing so?
I'm having enough issues trying to get everything working with rooting my htc vivid
Thanks for any help.

If the OTA actually can be accepted with your custom recovery (debatable), you would lose root IMO. I think what Stang means is that if you're s-off, you can reflash clockwork and superuser, and reaquire root easily. So it doesn't break your ability to root again.
My daughter downloaded the latest 2.3.4 and now has issues with the memory low icon. Can I downgrade to Froyo? She's finally going to let me root her phone(that I pay for).
Sorry if this isn't the correct thread for this question.
Just press install now and it will count down and not do anything

Yes root the phone then install a Rom like ruby ,or skyraider something with 2.2 froyo

This was my experience. I managed to cp it to my SD card, before it deleted itself, and now I have to rack up a 10 post count so I can let the developers in the developer forum know I have it ready to send to whomever wants to root it and re-released it.

Excellent! I think I need to flash a recovery though. I either am still on stock, or I don't have one at all (I assume I am on stock). I've never switched ROMs before.

Hey guys I just released today that my phone had the OTA update and i'm on Three in UK.
Anyhow I'm really wondering how I can update it with my rooted phone i'm pretty sure it will cause problems. What is the best way to update to the latest software with a rooted phone?
Do I have to unroot it?
Do I have to relock bootloader?
I'd like some clarification!!
Thanks a lot.
i just done the same on my three Uk version, i had to uninstall cwm install original recovery lock the boot back and download update and install,
priesl forpage
I swear you only had to relock the bootloader.
well i guess i done all this for nothing as i just come of the phone to three, i got the black version of htc one x, i found screen flickering so they going to send me the new one , well i thought ill go for the white one lets hope the new phone is ok

This is what I'm wondering. I'm running stock rom (rooted) and from what I can gather you have to unroot and reflash HTC stock recovery. I'm waiting for confirmation before I go ahead though

Looks like you havn't got to relock bootloader, just unroot, flash stock recovery (if on a custom recovery) then update
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I may be wrong but I though it still updated if on stock, you just lose root so you need to root it again afterwards. That's from past experience with Samsung phones, but thought it'd might be similar on other phones which is why I added my input.
Ota updates check system files before it reports if an update is available (does it not?), if it reports an update it must be fine IMO.

im downloading the new ruu but like jmz i also wanted the OTA.
Was running the Claws & went back to my DD (JMZ's deodexed stock) before the upgrade. It overwrote the recovery, so we need to see if the TWRP Recovery will work with 4.1.2 before we can get root again....It updated the radio, but kept it S-off & the CID stayed in modded form.
JMZ--I know I jumped the gun, but I wanted 4.1--so I went for it to see if it would work......

Easiest way is just download ruu from HTC or my site and flash it. Ensure your internal sdcard is backed up and external is removed.
Or just wait till later and I will have stock rooted odex and deodex posted

Usually to go back to stock, boot relock is needed. I'm unlocked, s-off and supercid. Do I have to undo those? I don't mind using full stock, even without root.

Stay unlocked and s-off.
Backup internal sdcard and remove external.
Reboot to fastboot
Issue command. fastboot oem rebootRUU
Run JB RUU
Once done and back into android. Reboot back into fastboot.
Flash TWRP normally.
Boot into TWRP then just choose option to reboot to system.
When asked by TWRP to fix su say yes.
Then just do the rest in ROM. You will see a notification popup for su. Choose the TWRP option.

Hei JMZ, I am using my One VX outside of the US, got the network unlock code on ebay. I tried to Check For Software Update, but it keeps on saying "There is no update for your device. Will check back in 24h. Is there anyway I can upgrade my device without loosing root, supercid and bootloader unlocking WITHOUT loosing my app settings!? I like the On. Air Upgrade, cuz it keeps ur settings and etc, but i will loose root and etc. Is there anyway I can combine both?!
P.S- Regardless of loosing app/phone settings, I am waiting for the stock rooted rom. Which do u recomand, the odex or the deodex?! Thanks and I really apreciate EVERYTHING u did for us, the VX users!

unfortuantly the only way to keep everything is the OTA. If you flash my rooted JB rom, it most likely will cause a lot of issues.

Probably not. S-OFF before you update. Any future updates will not cause S-ON. Updates will break root but from what I understand you can just install a custom recovery and flash superuser.

I can't speak to rooting after the fact, but I restored stock recovery, updated via Verizon, then flashed a custom recovery and superuser, and my root is working fine. S-Off was never affected.

It is not tested yet. You can test it yourself if you want but I don't recommend it. Chances are when u get the phone it will not be updated just tell the worker to not update and you should be fine.

If it comes new with 4.4.2 and of course s on, firewater won't work because it won't be able to get through the locked bootloader to modify files with the temp root method.
If it's a tmobile or att version you can unlock the bootloader via HTC dev and then firewater will work to get you s off since you won't need the temp root method.

I updated to an HTC One from an iPhone and I was loving it completely until the KitKat upgrade came out. I absolutely hate the upgrade. I tried looking around but I couldn't find any guide for it. This is pretty much first experiences with Rooting for android.
So is it possible to take my Verizon HTC One M7 running 4.4.2 KitKat, HBOOT-1.56.000, S-ON to JellyBean 4.3?
If you need any other information, I will try my best to find it and provide it.

So from your custom recovery, you flashed a rom, you did a full wipe beforehand correct? As long as you have an unlocked bootloader (says unlocked at top of bootloader screen), you shouldn't have any issues flashing a rom.

install a custom recovery. the recovery will provide the root. i like twrp2701 myself. but this will allow you to perm root your phone. Or, install a custom rom with root baked in. sense 6 is real nice
