Hi,
i got my One X now and i plan to unlock the bootloader. But i want to wait a little but until i'm sure its not flickering and has no other build quality defects.
And maybe there will bei S-OFF in a couple of days
I wonder if its a bad idea to upgrade to 1.28 via OTA because of maybe you need 1.26 for a S-OFF method which may come.
Now the question:
Is it possible to downgrade a 1.28 upgraded stock phone by running the 1.26 RUU?
Thanks
Daniel
A while back, I rooted my HTC One M8 and loaded TWRP in an attempt to turn it into a GPE phone. But, since Firewater was discontinued and SunShine is incompatible with my phone, I couldn't gain S-off and was never able to get Lollipop. Now, I'd like to unroot my phone to receive the OTA update of Lollipop. I checked the mega RUU/OTA/Backups thread to find a backup with my CID and version-main number but was unable to find one that matched. I also don't have a backup of my own. Is there any way to restore my M8 to stock factory settings and get Lollipop?
Relevant info:
CID#: HTC__621
version-main: 3.28.709.6
Android version: 4.4.4
Hello people, my friend owns a Desire EYE. The phone is running Android 4.4, it's S-OFF but the bootloader is locked and the recovery is stock. The problem is that when I search for updates it says that there are no updates available. The phone had supercid (11111) and I changed it to HTC__032 just to see if the OTA was available but no luck. Any ideas?
HTC One m9 ota updates does any one know if I can update my device manually as I have a u locked handset but my cid is showing Voda p001 do I have to wait for vodaphone or is there a way to update firmware from 2.10.401.1 and the rom to marshmallow please any help will be appreciated

You need the vodaphone firmware....
Sorry...but you'll have to wait for ota...
And don't lock your bootloader....the official ota ignores it....g
Edit:
And please don't post multiple threads...
It won't help with anything....especially the ota you need...g
You need the ota or ruu for your device region. No ota means no update without s-off.

Hi,
As much as I tried to look for this information, I didn't find a clear answer.
I have an M9 running 1.32.401.17 (stock recovery, from an old RUU), which is S-Off with unlocked bootloader. I was really expecting to get all the OTAs, so you can imagine my surprise when I didn't get any.
I then thought that I need to relock the bootloader, and then I will receive the OTAs. I relocked the bootloader, and again - no OTAs.
1. For an S-Off phone, should one receive OTAs with unlocked bootloader, or does one have to relock the bootloader (if so, to "locked" or to "relocked") to get OTAs?
2. Is the OS version on my phone so old that OTAs are not provided anymore?
3. Does it mean that if I manage to get a more "contemporary" OS version on my phone I'll get the OTAs?
4. If none of the above are correct, what do I need to do to get OTAs on my S-Off M9?
Thank you very much.
Adrian
Thanks to the fantastic post from Nikolay82 "HTC One M9 - 3.35.401.12 RUU installer how to guide!"

I managed to upgrade to 1.40.401.8.
After that I started to get OTAs (I'm now at 3.35.401.12) . So I can confirm that one doesn't need to relock the bootloader for an S-Off phone in order to receive OTAs (S-Off and UNLOCKED is fine).
I still don't know why I didn't get any OTA update for 1.32.401.17, but I'm happy that it worked from 1.40.410.8.
Cheers
Correct bootloader unlocked makes no difference. S-off makes no difference.
There is a possibility that htc have stopped the release of the earliest firmware. There is also a possibility that there was a problem but it would be solved by the update you did.
Even with S-ON you can receive updates with an unlocked bootloader.
The reason for your issue was the firmware you were using. 1.32.401.17 only got distributed in one single country. Therefore, only one specific CID of the handful of CIDs that belong to SKU 401 supports this "special" firmware version. In other words, you can't update a M9 and are stuck with that firmware if you aren't using the supported CID. The only solution is flashing a RUU with a different firmware version. That's why the RUU for 1.32.401.17 isn't linked in the ReadMe thread.
Edit: I can't tell you which CID actually corresponds to that "special" version since I forgot which one it was.
