To be able to flash official updates you will need the stock HTC recovery and not a custom recovery. Just google for it and you should find it. Although why would people bother with updates when there is so many custom roms to choose from I don't understand.

DoNot update a custom,rooted rom, wait for the dev of the rom you are using to update it. you could loose the option to rooting your phone again.

I believe he's using the stock rom which he rooted. Custom roms will not have official OTA update notifications I believe.

Custom RoMs do mate, well apart from the sense 3.5 that am using now. But my last sense 1 and 2.1 had OTA still in the RoM.
I need to update to the latest OTA. I am wondering if I can simply update via a zip file or do I have to get a new ROM in order to get to the most current OTA? Thanks in advance!

The best and smartest option us to just wait > check the dev section > flash the latest stock rooted rom.

Currently, the most-up-to-date OTA that's still rooted is 4.67.651.3. Keep up to date with either the Dev forums, or on the wiki.

I just looked and that particular OTA is NOT rooted, so rooted users, do NOT flash that, unless you're in the unrooting process.

If the device is already S-OFF or unlocked, all that will need to be done after flashing the OTA file is to flash superuser. The OTA file won't re-lock the device or break it in any way.

Why is that all I want to do is roll back from the OTA to the previous state before any OTA updates as I can no longer access the beats audio settings I have no interest yet in rooting the device with a custom firmware unless i really have to as like I said i am a complete noob to all this.

Hi everyone .
I'm new to xda.
I have 1 question..
Will I get the official OTA updates from htc if I unlock the bootloader ?
Yes ! As long as you don't remove system apps (edit the stock rom) !
You can update with these criteria
Stock rom (with or without root)
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Unlocked bootloader

Are you sure about that? I can't see how Play can be deleted without at least root. If it is deleted then a factory reset might fix it but be sure to backup important data such add pictures and music first.

Yes rooting is fine, what you need to do before installing an OTA update is re-lock your bootloader. This is because the OTA update will try to install through CWM or whatever other recovery you have flashed.

A custom recovery will never install a HTC official update, not even when you relock the bootloader !

I suppose most people with root phone will have a custom recovery. So the first step would be flash back the "Stock recovery", then only can update.

By entering the bootloader and then to recovery, if you see a sign with triangle and a phone icon you have stock. If it enters directly you can see its custom.
Not by checking the software on the phone. If its a custom rom it can be anything !

It can be used for alot of things. To make an update.zip which is twrp compatible or to restore a partition if you hard brick your phone. Many other uses for devs too.

Nah. I used Flashify and tried to flash the recovery (blastgator's BUMPed 2.8.6.1) from there. It didn't brick the phone, but did bring up the DemiGod crash handler every time I attempted to go into recovery. The phone still booted fine, and flashing the recovery partition you posted got the stock recovery back with no problems. I guess LG patched BUMP in the Lollipop bootloader. No big surprise there. I guess I need the KitKat bootloader. I'll probably just end up waiting for AutoRec.

Why don't you just flash the ZVE.tot file and then update to ZVG via the update.zip?
So far flashing the system.img(andre team)+boot.img(from stocklollipop)work fine,with the modded kitkat bootloader, but we do need the stock radio, my phone is constantly loosing signal(this could also be that not using there kernel , network is not working properly). im on gsm btw, so this issue might only be for me.
Edit: i can confirm flashing the stock lollipop radio fixes the constant loosing of signal, on the andre team rom.
So yea with i confirm my theory that our stock lp rom would work with the modded bootloader(or the stock one not sure on this one) , we just need our stock lp radio.
Asoon as tabp0le finishes uploading the stock lp system.img i will try it,too confirm it works on the modded kitkat bootloader.
