i Got an IDEA!!!
Guys! i got an idea!
i have an OTA to 2.17.720.2 and i have 1.29 RUU i believe if i can get RUU 2.17 for any country and combine the 3 files and create an RUU 2.17 for India! also an installer from installshield is very easy to be created!
i'll do my best to download a 2.17 RUU for any country to test but my internet is so slow it may take 2 weeks to download 600 MB!

Stock 2.17.720.2 India cwm nandroid backup
Thank's to kryptoner for nandroid backup and to minachvim for stock recovery and boot
I made some changes in that nandroid backup, removed some unwanted apk and complete unroot. So this will be stock unrooted rom.
Here little guide:
1. Download and unzip. >> clockworkmod.zip
2. Put unziped clockworkmod folder in to the sd-card (Do not change name it must be like that clockworkmod\backup\2012-10-10.17.00.28)
3. Go to recovery and full wipe (you can use ARHD super wipe script)
4. Now go to backup/restore and choose restore
5. After that go to fastboot mod by holding power+vol down button for 10 secs..
6. Flash boot, here is script that's include stock 2.17.720.2 boot.img >> Flash_boot_2.17.720.2.zip
After that do not restart.
In your PC, Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK. cd to your fastboot files folder >> fastboot.zip
7. It's important after flashing boot.img, Type:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
8. Flash recovery, here is script that's include stock 2.17.720.2 recovery.img >> Flash_recovery_2.17.720.2.zip
Now again in PC
9. Type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and reboot
That's all, your mobile now is stock and you can get officially OTA update.
Good Luck everyone

if I root and unlock stock rom I will be able to receive Jelly Bean OTA ??

Does anyone have a recovery image made after latest OTA?

Hey everybody,
First off a few weeks ago I recieved the latest OTA update installed it and didn't think anything of it. Anyways recently I tried putting on a custom ROM and finally start messing around with my device. Apperantly though the latest OTA update has updated my hboot and radio version making it incompatible with all custom roms at this point, I think people are working on a fix, but I don't I don't know when or if that will come to light.
Anyways stupid me didn't make a backup because I didn't think I'd need it. I played around with my last two android phones (not htc and much easier to modify IMO) and never went back to stock. Anyways my question is, is does anyone have a stock recovery image made after the last OTA update? I'm assuming I could flash that and my phone would work? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what I really need and someone could help me at least get my phone working again? I appreciate any help I can get, thanks for reading guys.
EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention, I'm on virgin mobile in the US.

You need to ruu, find the right ruu for your phone and do it. It will downgrade your hboot so you will be able to install whatever you like :thumbup:

I don't want to say your wrong because I'm new at this, so forgive me If I'm just ignoran t , but I don't think that will work for me because I've already tried using the RUU and flashing it manually and it keeps telling me,
Hboot version is older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
It doesn't seem to be allowing me to flash a RUU with a older version of hboot, or I could be wrong but I don't know what I'd do differently this time.

That is true. You don't need to revert the radio. You need to install a stock kernel.

To clarify. Most if the custom roms include a sick or jmz kernel. These boot loop with the new radio. If you fastboot flash a stock kernel and a sense based Rom you will be ok.

Lol thank you for making me notice, kinda forgot the link

I think it won't let you run the ruu because you are dev unlocked. When you open the ruu exe file leave it on the welcome screen then search your computer for Rom.zip (it will be in a temp folder with a long name.) Grab the recovery.Img (or signed_recovery.IMG whatever its called) flash this on your phone via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery signed_recovery.IMG) now type fastboot oem lock. That will relock your bootloader. I think the phone turns off after that. Put it back in fastboot then type fastboot oem rebootRUU. Now run the ruu. I take no credit for this ill post the thread link when I find it

Since no flashable RUU is available, anyone able to offer a Nandroid of pure Stock?

Given that no encrypted RUU is available, and the decrypted RUU provided by @Zarboz does not, by most accounts, flash properly, is someone with a new phone and having obtained S-OFF, kind enough to provide a Nandroid backup that we can use as our "stock" image? Would be much appreciated.

The new one flashes fine, previous was a bad upload and the size was like a third of real.

I can't seem to find the link, CNexus. Any help?

The only way right now would be to flash a custom recovery, then flash a rom
No encrypted one available, sorry

I have a stock nandriod (made using TWRP) I restored to in order to s-off today. I can't remember exactly when I made it but I don't think it has any personal info. Are you sure you can restore a backup made on someone else's device? If so, pm me and I'll upload a copy and send you a link.

Flashed stock recovery
Made sure usb debugging was on
Made sure verifying apps was off
Made sure fastboot was off
Made sure no lock screen was selected

i'm in the same boat i HTC dev unlocked day 1 and i'm trying to figure out the best way to return to 100% stock so i can run rum runner. I have a backup system.img along with boot.img and stock recovery i downloaded awhile back. Can't remember for the life of me where i found them and i have no guarantee they will work as expected. It seems like i should be able to push all those img files re-lock the the boot loader and then s-off. But i won't have time to test until this weekend. Does anyone know of a way to verily the img files to see if they are legit?

Boot issues
Hi everyone,
I just flashed the boot.img and installed the Root_And_BusyBox.zip file via TWRP. After a reboot, my device is stuck at the boot screen (white screen with green HTC logo and red warning about development build). Apparently it finishes booting, because when I touch the screen I can feel it respond, I can even hear the unlock sound. However the screen always stays the same. Holding the power button doesn't reboot the phone either.
Any ideas how I can get this to work again?
Thank you very much!

Hi guys,
I am currently running stock rom and software version 3.28.709.5. I rooted with hassoon AIO Toolkit.
My questions are these :
1) should I unroot my device and follow the instructions to have access to OTA updates?
2) since my device version seems to be newer than recommended one by Mike, will Mikes method work with my version?
3) when people say that you can't process OTA updates when rooted and running a custom recovery, does that mean you literally cannot see any available updates under the HTC software update section? Or that you can see the update but cannot install it?
Thanks all especially Mike!

Try holding down the power button + vol. up
It's the equivalent of a battery pull, and might clear stuff up.
You'll have to hold it down for 20 seconds or so. Be patient and wait for it to reboot before letting go.

Hi xunholyx,
Thanks for your reply, I didnt know about the Vol down in this case. With my last phone it was just holding the power button.
Anyway, what I did is wait until the battery died, then I was able to get into fastboot mode again. It seems there was something wrong with the boot.img. After I flashed the stock one again it worked fine. Not sure why it didn't want to work...

I can only speak for number 3. You will see the updates, but when you try to install them it will boot into your custom recovery, then installation will fail. Only flashing the stock recovery back will let you install the OTA. After that you can flash your custom recovery again.

Hi, question:
When S-Off and Super-CID set, do I get OTAs offered? And if, which ones?
To be clear: I know how to install OTAs from here via stock recovery from SD-card, but I don't find a clear answer to the question above.

You will also need an unmodified /system partition. You will need to disable Xposed if you use it, and revert any other changes made to files in /system.

I don't use Xposed and as far as i know haven't made any changes in /system. I might have used only the SD card permission fixer app. Not sure if that affects /system.
So if I unroot and follow this method I can have access to ota updates? Even if I'm using newer software version?

You would have to downgrade your firmware to what is stock for you before getting OTAs.

You have to downgrade your firmware to match the version of stock ROM you are using (4.4.3 i presume?).
If you are worrying about getting OTAs using the new software version, then it is not stock for you.
Maybe it is me who is misunderstanding. Did you manually update your firmware? Then it is probably not stock for you.
The OTA would have contained the new firmware.
If you need OTAs, you will have to S-Off and downgrade.
Unless I was misunderstanding what you were asking.
Edit: I see now by reading back to the beginning that I did misunderstand.
I think this method will still work, but I will check to make sure. BRB

When I got the phone a week ago I'm pretty sure it was already 4.4. I processed 1 OTA, which was called the HTC Eye experience, I then unlocked and rooted using a all in one toolkit. I am now still 4.4 kitkat.
I thought the software version and firmware was the same thing?
My current software version is 3.28.709.5
And for some reason I can't see anything when I use adb getvar version-main.
I didn't manually load anything except for unlocking bootloader and rooting.
I want to process OTA in the future without unrooting but Mike the OP listed a different software version.
As you answered me in a different thread you know I'm asking about how to get my version main back.

I want to process OTA in the future without unrooting but Mike the OP listed a different software version.
As you answered me in a different thread you know I'm asking about how to get my version main back.

It's the ROM version and firmware version that could be different. You can be running the very newest firmware, but still be on a 4.4.2 ROM

The answer is yes. I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Try "fastboot getvar all" (no quotes) in ADB. It should list all the info you need about your phone.

I already asked this in the original tread, but I see now there is a q&a section, so..
So, if I changed my build.prop, ota will fail, right?
Will it still fail if I replace build.prop with a copy (backup) of the original?

[Q] System update HELP!

Hey XDA community,
i have recently rooted my HTC Desire 816/Virgin mobile
Currently running stock ROM
Adroid version: 4.4.2
HTC Sense version: 6.0
Software Version: 1.13.652.1
I keep getting the software update pop up for version 1.50.652.3 which i previously had before rooting
as i try update it the update is aborted
Is there anyway that i can update it and also keep my root access?
Ive tried many different ROMs although most of them seem to be inefficient as either the calling, data, or text messaging doesn't work, i would rather stick to the stock ROM until fully functional ROMs are out there.

only thing your suppose to do is just install the root,relock bootloader and flash recovery hope will work won't get aborted.....

Open SuperSU and choose unroot, flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and then take the update.
Then re-root the same way you did the first time.

Edit: Sorry I don't mean to be biased, Bing is also an option.

There's no reason to be rude to the guy/girl. Their new.
Here is a thread with the links to the stock recovery with instructions on how to flash it and re-lock your phone.

I was simply telling them to use Google, I don't see were anything rude was said in that post. It was only 3 words, and 2 of them were Google...
But just because this is a Q&A thread, doesn't mean they should disregard any other way of getting information themselves.
Why should someone else have to take time out if there day to get the link, and give it to this person, when as I said, they can Google it.
But with that being said, I'm sorry you saw rudeness in those 3 words, next time I'll try to be more considerate.
