When a Sense OTA gets released, is it possible to grab the URL of the OTA and download it on our computers and manually flash it?
Or do you need to download it on the phone and flash it that way?
Yes it's possible.
U need to be s off to manually flash OTAs but yes it's possible

When it contains a firmware update then yes s-off is needed. Not to sure about pure and only software update. I think the last one can also be done with S-on

We had a few on the hox if i am not mistaken. For example the latest heartbleed bugfix.....it's an ota without firmware

if you have a rooted and CWM (unlocked BL) but running stock HOX
Can you still use an OTA safely?
Or do you have to reflash stock recovery?
Or also relock?
Finally I assume clear cache/dalvik?
OTA not out for me yet but asking in advance
yes you can with those files. I have done it :

hey all sorry if this has been asked already but just wanted to know, I want the latest ota. I am on O2 and they take really long releasing the ota's . Do I need to root/unlock just to get the update? Thanks
If your network has pushed out an update for your phone's CID then you will need to lock your bootloader and be on a stock rom to get the OTA update.

Not to mention you need to have stock recovery too.
I have an unbranded HOX but latest update is still 1.28 and I have a major video play bug (they crash), no way to update to 1.29 without rooting?
there are only 2 choices. you can be on stock everything and wait for the update notification or you can unlock, root, and install something from the dev section.

How do I get the european latest version? I am on O2 they still have not released the ota, by rooting/unlocking I would need to install a custom rom to get the European version?

HI can I flash marshmallow firmware RUU on top of a lolipop rom currently installed on the phone? so many cases here and I want them to help because they always brick when they are updating because most of them is s-off

Yes.
Note that you need to run the RUU that matches your CID and MID.

You mean the phone gets stuck when trying to OTA?
S-off doesn't affect OTA. But if you have modified ROM (custom ROM, root - even if unrooted, etc.) or custom recovery, that will get the phone stuck while trying to OTA.

their software status is official and I think also stock reco i dont know why when they take OTA it bricks their phone, they are almost supercid so the one I will look out is thei mid right? the OPIMG61000 something right?

This can just happen for no reason. You will see on this forum, there are a number of folks that are fully stock, never modded (never unlocked bootloader, root, etc.) that got stuck trying to OTA to MM.

Hello, I'm a noob since this is my first HTC device, so I'm not very familiar with S-Off, RUU, etc...
Currently I'm on version 1.80.401.1, S-ON and Xposed Framework. Other details:
Baseband: [email protected]_41.13_F
Build: 1.80.401.1 8.0_g CL761959 release-keys
Kernel Ex-kernel 0.11
How should I update to 1.90.401.3? Do I need to be S-Off? Can I flash any 1.90.401.3 firmware or does it has to be a specific one? (I never got the 1.80.401.3 OTA, I think it's because of modifying the system)
Anyway, thanks in advance!
1.90 is not released officially yet.
But you can flash one of the custom roms to get it.

Not true. Custom roms dont update firmware. You can't flash the 1.90 that is available atm while S-ON. Once the ota has been officially released you will be able to extract the firmware.zip from that. S-ON can only flash signed firmware from htc.

Could I just flash the firmware file extracted from the signed OTA once its released, on top of a custom rom with S-ON? Or would I have to revert back to stock (RUU), update through OTA and then flash a custom rom?
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can do that. Signed firmware also contains stock recovery and boot so you will have to flash twrp and root again also.

So if I'm S-ON, I should wait until someone extracts the firmware from the signed OTA once its released?
But how do I do flash it, supposing that there's a firmware already?

I wanted to know can we flash signed firmware latest with s-on, restore stock backup and then take ota whenever available?
As in title i looked for it everywhere i cant find any. I want to install lineage os 15.1 but i have 14.1 installed. any ideas?
@edit downloaded 7.0 ruu then 8.0 OTA and installed lineage. Solved.

So it's time to update to oreo firmware first.
You need the ruu that matches the OS line in download mode. Not all x.xx.118 ruu files will work. If you have a S-ON device that is. Check the number and post it here so we can have a look.
i need any ruu file so i can downgrade and do ota or just upgrade with ruu
i installed viper10 but ota shows no updates :/ (7.0)
my CID is t-mob009
2.41.118.4

Of course it doesn't show an update, a custom rom never offers OTA updates and definetly no firmware updates.

i can find one here, that's all for now i can offer you.

At least a signed one that's around 1900 mb. Only the firmware is of no use. If you mean the files from gem flash.

because when you flash that firmware your OS isn't stock and you can't update to oreo via OTA.

you restore your OS to stock by flashing it, after that reboot and install the official htc OTA and you are on oreo.
i'm only giving you the most easy way to upgrade to oreo because that's what you want because you want to run LOS 15, these are all my experiences and i try to help. If you find another way easier and that way suits you more please be my guest.

No rename the zip to only "2PS6IMG.ZIP" and put it on the SD card, then boot to download mode and proceed to flash it. The file will be recognized, if it isn't you didn't rename it properly.
flash it with fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.ZIP ? or rebootruu then flash? or it will show me the file?
also i do have unlocked bootloader. do i have to relock it?

As i said.......rename the file, copy it to your phones SD card and boot to download mode. Then it will ask you to press volume up to flash or volume down to cancel.
Can't make it easier
ohh. you mean SD card not internal memory? that would be a problem :/ it doesnt do anything when its on internal memory. Also i tried to flash it as ruu but it didnt worked so im flushing each zip according to their number.. lets hope it will work becuase they do flash
