[SOLVED] Sprint OTA - 4.53.651.1 - We have it!!

As seen here: http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/328055
HTC EVO Software Update - 4.53.651.1
Enhancements/Fixes:
- Integrated voice recognition accuracy with voice search and voice-to-text
- Image size issue with contact transfer over bluetooth
- Images cut off in Picasa
- Group contacts not in alphabetical order
- Out of memory, Unable to send SMS
Just wondering if anyone received the OTA and has it laying around and could post it, so the ROMs can be updated with these fixes (especially the first one!).
Also, does anyone know the method for applying an OTA to a previous stock ROM (not on the device), so that the patched files get appropriately updated? I've been wondering how that's done for a while. It's usually a while before the full ROM leaks, so I've always wondered how it's done. I bet xHausx would know . . . I wonder if you need Linux to do it?

I've been waiting for this as well. Voice recognition is a big one for me. Ninjawolf has been looking for a copy so he can do his thing and post it, but last I saw he had not been able to find one either.

I think I'm going to flash back to stock and see if I can get it that way (if no one else replies). Thanks for the info, though!

I am on stock and have not see it yet when I check under updates. Not sure if it would wreck root, but I was just curious to see if it was there.

Thanks for checking. It shouldn't S-ON your device, as I've read by the few that got it that it comes with the same HBOOT as the previous OTA (2.16). It might, however, take away root, though if it does, you'd just need to install Superuser.

Thank you!
Hopefully, with it out in the open now, we can get some updated stock ROMs!
(and have some updated drivers for our ports!)
Anybody know how to patch the files to the 4.24 ROM with this update?

You need to be S-OFF and have an old stock recovery. The new one will not let you update if not installing from over the air. Download the recovery that I attached to this post and change the name to PC36IMG. This recovery will only be used for the flash, and will then be replaced by the latest stock one.
Without being over detailed here,
Download the OTA from
http://www.mediafire.com/?bjxvuyc1mupcyzc
Then change the name of that file to update.
Copy both zip files (PC36IMG and update) to your SD card and install the PC36IMG file from your Bootloader.
After install, boot into RECOVERY. At the exclamation point, hold the volume up (not down) and power buttons at the same time. Then install update from SD card, or whatever it says.
Once you're done, you can always go to
http://www.mediafire.com/?gijd69zb5222w
to get your clockworkmod or Amon-RA back.
Hope that helps someone out there.

I was hoping to patch the ROM without flashing it ....
i.e. put together an updated flashable stock ROM.
(using Android kitchen or some other means)

i can do it, it' s a pretty simple concept. your sure thats the ota, b4 i go packing away a flashable rom.

Yes, it does appear to definitely be the OTA. I've already downloaded and looked at it. I just don't know how to apply all of the patch files included therein.

Does this update fix/update the bluetooth stack?

I have some questions that I'm hoping to get verified.
I was previously on the Sprint unrooted stock 2.2 Froyo build and did the OTA 4.24.651.1 Android 2.3 update. Then I performed S-OFF using the Revolution developer preview tool followed by rooting the phone by installing SuperUser via Recovery. The only thing I've done since then is remove apps I didn't want.
Now this 4.53.651.1 OTA update came out, and I know I shouldn't try updating the rooted phone with it. I don't want to completely flash/wipe the phone either. I just want to learn of the way to update my rooted 4.24.651.1 to 4.53.651.1 while still retaining S-OFF and root.
Do the steps by shortydoggg in post #9 of this thread perform an update as opposed to a complete flash/wipe? And if so, will S-OFF and root be maintained?
Thanks in advance!

Update:
Okay, so I restored the stock recovery according to post #9 of this thread. And continuing with the instructions in that post, I was able to install the linked 4.53.651.1 update file.
After that I lost root, but all it took was to run the Revolutionary tool again to get custom recovery back. Then I just flashed the Superuser ZIP file once more, rebooted, and everything was rooted again.
Now the phone still has S-OFF and it has 4.53.651.1 rooted.
Thumbs up!

Easier approach:
Download the already rooted copy here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238959
Reboot into recovery.
Make a nandroid backup.
Flash update. (In CWM Install zip from SD Card > Choose Zip > browse to downloaded file > Install; likely similar in AR).
Optionally, download the new radio (Post #26 in same thread). Place that in the root of the SD card and reboot to the bootloader; it will install automatically.

How to go from prerooted to stock rom ?

Hi I m really new to this so excuse me ...
i got many updates by flashing with fastboot prerooted system.img i was on 2.19.40.18 prerooted but i would like to go to a stock no rooted to be able to apply OTA now
I tried an erase of my phone, but i came back to prerooted ...
I tried to install tethered TWRP and to install the.zip from asus download page but it was stuck on updating IFWI .... ( 2.19.40.20 zip file from asus )
What can i do ?
Plz help me

You need to go into the SuperSU settings, scroll to near the bottom and choose "Full unroot."

I did all on this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
I did unroot, flashed all 4 line before but i think my recovery is corrupted, it end in error with the green guy instantly and flashin via fastboot recovery.img isnt doing anybetter ...
I m really stuck ..

Protocol fault is because you don't use latest ADB. Google it.

i successfully did this but now adb is stuck on serving 13 % and on the phone : verifying update package , it stopped like 15 min ago ...

Here's what I did to go from pre-rooted system back to stock.
1. Download the official latest image from Asus http://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/13/Lk0Sg1Ulh0Ph49Hl/32/
2. Rename the zip to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Unroot via SU
4. Uninstall Xposed and modules if you have them busybox etc. (uninstall.bat for xposed it's easy)
5. Copy MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip to an SD card and insert into phone or copy to internal memory
6. Boot into recovery by holding power and volume up
7. If you get dead android press power button and volume up button and release.
8. Auto installs new image
I went this route after unrooting via SU and uninstalling xposed framework still wouldn't let me run OTA updates for some reason. I imagine I did something along the road or removed a system app or something. It wouldn't let me manually sideload or update and would error out halfway through the process. I cleared fastboot cache and even reset the device to no avail. I was on 2.19.40.18. I installed the 2.19.40.20 image then the OTA update to .22 yesterday.
If I root the device again which is likely I'll use method 3 and the rootkit tool.

i will try your way, installing the 22 now.
But i dont remember in recovery the auto installs new image ?

error in recovery trying to update the .22 like you said, i need to put the .20 before the .22 ?

I installed the 2.19.40.20 full system image (1.1GB) from Asus yesterday. They didn't have the full image for .22 up but they do now. I was on the .18 pre-rooted image. When you hold power and volume up choose recovery and it should install the MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip automatically (mine did). I had issues trying to manually update the phone from .18 to .20 and .22 via ADB (the patches are like 30MB). It would start the update with the android robot then fail about halfway.
Download the correct system image for your device. The new update is available as a full image now so download the .22 image from Asus and then rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. Copy it to an SD card and insert it back into your phone. Phone is powered off so hold power and volume up to get the recovery screen. It will say Normal in a big green arrow. Change it to recovery via the volume buttons then hit power button and it should find and automatically install the MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip image.
FYI this is on a ZE551ML 4GB/64GB US WW firmware based phone. I imagine the other models are the same or very similar.
I wish I could articulate this better. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable comes along and lends a hand.

Hi, want to ask.
Previously i root by using Method 1 (PRE-ROOTED SYSTEM.IMG).
can i use your method to revert to stock rom and root again using Method 3 (1 CLICK ROOT TOOL)?

Flashing the entire system image you want to wipe everything anyways in this case. If you mean using the one click rootkit (method 3) to root then no it will not.

Yea. I'm hoping someone finds a way to return this to a "never been rooted" device where the OTA actually works.

Flash the .18 pre-rooted, then don't update SuperSU binary. Take OTAs as needed.
If OTA doesn't show up, download the OTA and adb sideload into stock recovery.

I've done that before, with any OTA, it'll give me the error droid when installing. That's when I said screw it, and try to unroot. And now I'm stuck with that error no matter what.

Asus Zenfone 2 Z00A Error when installing OTA update (Rooted)

Recovery error Z00A
Hello, I am new to this forum. I have the Asus Z00A Zenfone 2 and I have a problem with him ... I made a root and after this operation, I jumped out the OTA update, I downloaded and when you try to install jumped out error in the recovery. The system gets up normally, I do unroot and re-root but when you enter the recovery phone still tries to install the downloaded software and still pops up an error ... I suspect that simply delete the file you downloaded the update but do not know where he is. It will help anyone?

Did you disable any system files after you rooted the phone?

I had the same problem, so what I did was to download the full firmware from Asus ( 1.1 gigs ). Uninstall Busybox, full unroot, adb sideload full firmware, re-apply root, re-install busybox.

I had the same problem .. Flash stock firmware .. if u flashed Pre rooted system.img unroot it .. and now apply the ota update

Well I was rooted with Xposed installed and wanted to Install the latest update. I went to recovery mode wiped all the data and rebooted, then I grabbed the firmware file from Asus. Stored it onto my SD Card and then I got a notification of installing a update from the SD Card. Successfully installed and removed root.

HTC One m9 (Verizon) stuck on Bootscreen after root

I figured out how to unlock my boot loader with SUNSHINE. BootLoader UNLOCKED and S-OFF'd...... Installed when I went into recovery mode, installed SUPERSU and rebooted phone it only booted to the VERIZON boot screen and wouldn't do anything. I tried FACTORY RESET in DOWNLOAD MODE - still will not boot past the verizon screen

Are you in MM? What version of super su did you install? If yes, try flashing 2.65 if you haven't tried... (by the way, you can easily get out of the bootloop by restoring the boot.img)

Not sure whatMM is? SuperSU 2.46

Marshmallow/android6

Yes it's Marshmallow. I went back into recovery. Uploaded the SuperSU 2.65 into my phone, installed it. This time i notices an error message when it finished...
Could Not Find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.zip
Still does the same thing, just boots to the Verizon Screen

Got it working. I got the Stock RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/6-0-verizon-htc-one-m9-marshmallow-t3316279. Transferred it onto a SD CARD (That is formatted to FAT32) and booted the phone into download mode where it asks you to FLASH THE RUU. afterwards the phone is back to stock... Now I will try to root it with the correct SuperSU

The phone it rooted ad running. But I am having issues installing a custom ROM... I tried MAXIMUS HD, ANDROID REVOLUTION HD and ViperOne.... None of them will take, get the same error message as before............

i recently rooted my sprint version phone and on the last step where i have to swipe right inside twrp to flash supersu, my phone gets stuck at the htc one bootup screen. I'm not sure which ruu file to download as i have 3.41.651.4 already on my phone. what do i do now? thanks in advance.

where do i go from here?

Which version of supersu and twrp?
Beamed in by telepathy.

i think twrp 2.8.6 and supersu 2.46? i cant recall what version of supersu but its some where in the 2.4 range its an older version which could be the cause for the bootup issue according to another user.

If your phone is on Marshmallow firmware, you need to be sure you have the latest versions of everything as stuff from Lollipop is not compatible. Most likely that's your problem. Make sure you have a Marshmallow rom and the latest twrp (3.0) and SuperSU 2.65.

right, but my issue right now is that my pc won't detect my phone so i can't put the later version of supersu.

Was it detecting it before? Can you get into recovery at all?

it was detecting it before and i cant get into recovery also i relocked my bootloader for the ruu and it says ***relocked***

Sounds like you need to reflash the RUU and start over. Then copy over the correct twrp and supersu.

how do i do that when I have the most updated ruu? the thread said to only upgrade from the current version

The rom will take as a reflash. Also, use a card reader to copy supersu to a microsd, put it into the phone, boot to twrp and flash from there.

[Question] Can't receive OTAs anymore

Hello XDA,
I very recently got an HTC 10 and the 1st thing I did was install TWRP and root the phone using SuperSU. I completely forgot about firmware updates since those were rare on my old phone (HTC one m8).
Now, the problem I face is that I can't receive OTAs anymore since my recovery is modified.
My questions are:
Are OTAs worth to get? Do they significantly improve the phone's behaviour? The 1st OTA (1.21 > 1.30) is said to improve phone and wifi stability as well as camera. Is it that significant?
How should I go about installing OTAs now? Should I flash them?
Thank you!

1. yeah OTA are worth to get, mostly.
2. I'm doing it by : - restoring system image and boot, then flashing proper stock recovery, then manually updating OTA via file on SD, and after that back to TWRP and SuperSU. But this will only work for stock rom.

Thank you, the problem is that I can't find the proper stock recovery anywhere. I'd need the 1.21 european version and I couldn't find it anywhere

To get OTA upgrade, I use the following method:-
Disable security
Full Nandroid
Flash RUU (to get firmware)
Flash TWRP
Restore Nandroid
Enable security (pin/pattern)
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Should be able to received OTA, right? just can't install it using TWRP recovery.
I copy the OTA firmware file from /data/data/com.htc.updater/files to external microSD card then move to PC.
extract the firmware.zip, recovery.img is in there, then its just a process of flashing to HTC recovery.
It works for my M7, sort of work for the last 1.95.400.3 to 1.90.400.4 update. What I mean is system is update to 1.90.400.4 but I did see a warning triangle with exclamation mark, this is the first OTA update I experience, don't know if this is normal.
Don't see any issue after update so I guess it work.
BTW, I use ES explorer with root access; WinRAR to extract the recovery cause 7zip can't.

Please ignore the above, I was wrong to think the above method will work in HTC 10.
