I know some will say its answered somewhere in the forum , but i searched and it didnt give me a clear answer,
if i unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM and rooted my phone wothout flashing a new ROM, will i lose the ability to recive OTAs?
one more thing (sorry im asking alot) unlocking bootloader says that it will erase all phone data , does that include the SD card part of our phone since its internal ? will i lose the photos stored , or its just like flashing an RUU
Thank you so much

Firstly, yes you will lose the ability to receive OTA updates. With regards to the SD Card this will remain untouched.

Are you planning on using a stock rom or a custom rom?
EDIT: Sorry didn't read properly. Yes if you are using stock rom then you should be able to download the OTA update from somewhere on XDA. If you are using a custom rom then the chances are the Dev would have already updated there rom to the latest base.

Sorry to ask additional question:
If I intended to use stock ROM only and continue to receive OTA update but with rooted phone. What is the best suggestion?

in my understanding , you will have to unlock the bootloader and install a CWM recovery to root your phone and keep the stock ROM, but you will have to download and install the OTAs manually

Just flash back the stock recovery, relock the bootloader, reboot the phone, receive OTA update and install. Then re-root process again to have root access.

Just wonder where to find the stock recovery? If my ROM is 1.28.xxxx then I must use back the 1.28.xxx stock recovery img file, isn't it? Where should I look for the exact stock recovery img file?

I've been wondering the same thing! I've downloaded a rooted stock ROM but havent installed it, hoping that I could get the OTA update when I do.
i've been getting whole heaps of errors on updating to lollipop.....
using the recovery found in the 1.60.707.3 gets me update to this version, then wen i try to install 2.34.707.1 ota i get red exclamation mark, upon pressing vol up + power i shows "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml has unexpected contents" error.... giving up on ota... anyone has the ruu for 2.34.707.1 ?

I was rooted and using CarbonROM.
All I did was follow this (step 1, no GPS fix) and ran a system update from the stock ROM and I was using Stock Lolipop

so i guess linking to another forum is a nono or something?(can't imagine why it would be, but the link I posted to VMROMs was removed.)
Hi,
I'm with 2.19.401.1 (s-on) and I received the notification for 2.19.401.2.
Since my rom is stock but rooted, I push back the stock recovery to apply the OTA.
It went well but after restart, the phone entered in a boot loop on the green htc logo on a white background.
I succeed to boot in bootloader, flash back the custom recovery and restored my last backup.
Did some of you succeed to apply the OTA?
If so, could you push a backup of the rom, so I (and others ), can use it?
Thanks

You mean I need to re-lock my bootloader?
I read posts for other htc phones and I never saw the bootloader
Need to be re-locked.
But, ok, make sense, I'll give it a try.
Thx for the reply.

I'm looking for the official OPP28-85-13-2 OTA, I need the zip to update to that version officially
I'm looking for it because it solves the low sound problems and the October security patch:crying:
Sorry that I answer so late, when I was searching for ways to update to Oreo I found this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/cedric-ota-archive-t3795275
It's a collection of ota files, it also describes the order how to flash them.
The otas and the list for that are here
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1BkpfHvgQ477NViLYvzgv88Fgq3SSt5Py?usp=sharing
Edit: I'm currently on OPP28.85-16 but I don't know if you will find the otas for this, but I flashed firmware directly, guess when you don't want to reinstall your phone this is not an option?

Why should that? When you flash stock oreo firmware and it comes an update you can just install it like a normal ota in settings

I do not know what it means, I think it has to do with the companies that distribute the firmware in the different update channels or region
dual sim or single sim I suppose

Only way I know is reset device to factory, perform any ota update. During update, navigate to developer options and take a bug report. Download the bug report and you will be able to save the OTA. I'll look for a how to
