Alright so here is the story.
Earlier this week, wanting lolipop since i still didnt get it and i thought i will get it with next OTA which is in august, i decide to root the phone.
All goes fine untill i get to S-Off-ing the phone which you cant do without 25$.
I decide to leave it at that till i have 25$ at hand.
Yesterday lolipop OTA pops up, so without anything flashed yet i thought it would install but it just restarted into recovery.
Then i go with unrooting it.
Followed some guide all went well but when i needed to flash superuser uninstall, it didnt uninstall(in twrp it said it was successful).
Then i flashed stock recovery and relocked bootloader with superuser still installed.
Only then i discovered that superuser is still there, and when i tried installing update it restarted into fastboot.
Today i was reading something and found out about supersu. I got it and it uninstalled superuser and root checker said phone is not rooted correctly but update still did the same thing.
What to do now? I cant even factory reset. Also tried uninstalling root from supersu settings, didnt work. Also cant acess twrp and a few times i tried unlocking bootloader but it didnt work.
Restore your stock rom. The one you made before rooting and tampering with it. Flash the stock recovery and ota up.
No need to relock the bootloader, not needed for ota !
I didnt make stock rom backup.... I do have nandroid thought(with superuser installed).
I assume there are stock roms here on xda, but if i find it how do i flash it exactly?

Do you have twrp recovery?
No,, i flashed stock recovery. Maybe its still there somewhere but when i go to hboot and go to recovery it starts that screen with htc and red letters at bottom, but just reboots into hboot/fastboot, cant remember.
I tried unlocking bootloader again so i can get twrp again but it didnt work, i tried it 2-3 times. Gonna try it again in a bit.
Bit of searching would get ya loads of info !

I got twrp installed somehow,i need to get stock rom now,but thing is from the link above there isnt my version. My version starts with 3.33 and cid is HTC__032,but closest to it with that cid is 3.32. Should i flash that version?
Edit:
Just noticed factory reset in twrp menu. Would that allow me to update?

Factory reset doesn't mean what you think it does, it just wipes user data. It won't magically restore your stock ROM.

You do NOT need to unroot to OTA. You also did not need to relock the bootloader to OTA. Doing so is what put you in the current non-bootable position.

You didn't waste anyone's time. I couldn't find a stock nandroid with the software number you were looking for, or I would have tried to help some more.
You can just add [SOLVED] to the thread title. But you should also add a post explaining how you fixed your issue (in case someone with the similar or similar problem is looking for the solution.

Ok, I can try that. How do I do that? I am not sure I am familiar with fastboot. I can follow step by step instructions though.
Did you try the instructions on this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170&highlight=ota+update
You seem to have the same set up as I do. I've just updated no problem with method 1.
The only instruction missing is that you have to re-root afterwards (you can check with Titanium).
When re-rooting, it got stuck on the Google image. I disconnected from the computer and pulled the battery out. restarted and voilá, all done

As I'm sure you all have read the post above this one, neither CWM nor root prevent you from receiving the OTA update. CWM, however, will prevent it from automatically installing, but CWM can easily install the OTA. See link in post above.

I tried doing it via CWM. It was aborted. I just went ahead and uploaded a ROM. The Android Revolution HD one. I kinda gave up trying to do the OTA myself. Thanks for hte help anyway.

Rooting the SG3 running stock 4.3 is notoriously difficult. CF AutoRoot may not always work. The instructions below (thanks to XDA Developer upndwn4par), however, works pretty well. The usual disclaimers ... you are trying this at your own risk etc. apply here...
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991)
Before rooting your phone, however, please check to see if rooting is really necessary. You may not need root access to install a custom or stock ROM. Custom recovery (e.g. CWM or TWRP) alone may be sufficient.

Have you removed Knox before attempting to flash the custom ROM?
Other than that I don't have a suggestion, mostly because I have never used TWRP.

I was able to get it to work by using philztouch instead of TWRP try using that hope this helps!
Device was rooted with PurpleDrake, works fine on D85110c, but I'd like the new OTA. I get the OTA notification all the time, but I can't get it to "take". It says installing, reboots and I'm still on the old one. I had Xposed installed with some modules, but uninstalled it all. Any tips on how to make the OTA work, and can I just use PurpleDrake after the OTA to re-root?
Thanks for your patience with the noobtastic post.
I am also freshly rooted with PurpleDrake on 10c with twrp installed. Because of the OTA update, I am not flashing any ROMs until I figure out what to do. I am using a G3 851 on AT&T, so I'm not sure what an update will do. Will it mess with my unlock or APN settings? I'm coming from an HTC M7, so still trying to get myself mentally sound on this device before I just go flash happy all over the place. I'd like to flash a custom rom, but weary if I should update first. I see the zone rom is for the new update, so I guess I'd have to update to run his ROM. Skydragon is still 10c I believe. Any ideas? Sorry to hijack your thread. Lol
Guys, you really should search the forums for an answer. There are numerous threads in regards to the OTA as wll as guides. Your are lucky that the OTA did not apply while rooted. If you happen to also have a custom recovery installed you could have caused yourself a bootloop and would have been stuck. Search option is your friend.
In any case, it is pretty easy to update. Use the link I provided below to install download and install the latest 10m ROM. Just make sure you have everything backed up first, as the preferred method is to wipe everything. I just completed this myself this weekend and all went smooth. Once installed, just root again with PurpleDrake. Installing the permroot appears like it fails and the window closes, but it indeed applies root. You will then just need to download SU and Busybox. Additionally if you want custom recovery, use TWRP manager from play store and install the latest 2.8.01 recovery. Again, all easy if you read the threads. Good luck

I also amd running the Tmobile 851 on AT&T. After update it's no different than what you did the first time, just setup and re-enter the appropriate APN settings. Reboot and your done / back on AT&T network.
OK I think I may be stuck. I gave my phone to wife to check something on the internet and when the notification came up for the update she accepted it. Then handed me my phone back because it got stuck on the TWRP loop. Is there anything to do to get out of this loop? I tried restore from one of my back saves without any luck. Never mind I was able to install the stock ROM in TWRP and got out of the boot loop. Trying to fix and get root and TWRP back now to restore one.

In s-on devices, it is not giving access to stock recovery directly. The first coming exclamation mark is normal. In that occasion if you want to access recovery; while pressing power button, press volume up. However you don't need to go to recovery.
1) If your bootloader is locked, unlock it. http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
2) flash twrp (TWRP 2.8.7.0)
3) restore backup (4.16.401.13)
4) flash stock recovery (4.16.401.13)
5) check updates
(the thread given by redpoint73 includes information A-Z to stock)
thank you both redpoint73 and umesh. Really appreciate the help. Im gonna try this and return to you if i have any problem

That is the stock (official HTC) recovery; from there you can press power+vol up to show the stock recovery menu options. But as a previous reply mentioned, stock recovery isn't going to help you (restore stock TWRP backup, etc.). For that, you need to unlock the bootloader (if not already) and install TWRP custom recovery.
The bootloader screen, near the top, will indicate whether the bootloader is LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED. If LOCKED or RELOCKED, unlock it as mentioned in Post #9 above.
My guess is that the previous owner restored stock recovery in a botched attempt to return the phone to stock. By "botched" I mean they didn't properly restore the stock ROM to remove root. But following the guide I linked previously will do that properly.

Did the wipe the partitions indicated in the guide? If so, I can't see what can be causing the issue. Proper stock ROM for your firmware, with proper wipes, I haven't seen these issues.

The version we told you to restore is not for a demo version. I don't think you restored as you were advised, at least not properly.
Also, factory reset only wipes user data, it doesn't affect anything with the ROM; and you should not be mistaken in thinking it would.

No i did all the things that post said and i downloaded the version 4.16.401.13 its the version for my phone :crying:
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the android scene when it comes to the rom and rooting side of things so I just have a few questions about Sunshine and the whole process in general. Sorry if this may have already been asked but after a quick search many of the answers to these questions seem to be outdated.
1. Do you need to be rooted in order to use Sunshine?
2. If I do, is there any method to root my phone? I can't seem to find any without paying some money.
The only reason why I would want to root my phone is so I can use Titanium root and back up my data.
3. Do I have the order right?
Use Sunshine (gains S-off/unlocks bootloader)Install a custom recovery (TWRP)Super SU (Does this root my phone?)Install Cyanogenmod
4. If I have the order correct, at what point should I backup my data and when would my data get wiped?
5. And if I'm backing up my data should I back it up to my SD card and remove it, or do something else?
Once again, I'm sorry if most of the answers to these questions seem obvious but this is my first time tampering with my phone so I would appreciate any help!
Ok so a little update, I used sunshine, installed twrp, and tried to flash super su but I got stuck on a bootloop. Any help? I tried wiping the cache/dalvik.

The latest supersu zip will give you a bootloop. The previous version works fine. I don't have it anymore but you will need to download a rom and flash it.

This is a common issue, it happened to me too, so I wrote a quick post how to avoid it.
