I have unlocked s-off htc 10 running on vzw. I tried to get 1.91.617.1, currently on 1.80.617.1 and it failed I am assuming because of the radios. I have seen things about updating through TWRP will this work for me?

Hi I would like to know if there would be a problem if I flash the official rue of an Asian desire z with a european version or vice versa?
I bought my phone second hand and I decided to flash the 1.34.707.1 version into my originally 1.72 desire z. Now my phone cannot find updates. It keeps telling me that there is no update even if check manually.
I know that I can flash a higher version by downloading a higher rue version but what I wanted to find out if I can no longer receive ota updates because of what I did.
Since when I was in 1.72 my phone did not notify me of the 1.82 update too...
I don't know what's wrong.. Please help. Thank you.
I think if you are SuperCID and S-Off, it would work. Otherwise, it won't let you flash the ROM from another region.
Also, if you flash an official ROM, you will lose root, and you can't get it back on any ROM version higher than 1.34. For this reason, if you downgraded to 1.34 for purposes of rooting, you don't want the OTA updates, anyway.
If you're rooted and S-Off, and you want a more updated ROM version, just flash the Virtuous custom ROM. Its mostly stock 1.85, but rooted, and with a few cool added features and some optimizations.
Hi, the thing is I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to rooting. I read the posts here specifically in the wii section and I don't think I have the skills to pull it off and risk bricking my phone.
I think my phone is not rooted or it was before but not anymore, since as mentioned I flashed an official ruu.
So basically, I should still be able to receive OTA's from HTC right? I was wondering why my phone keeps telling me there's no update when the software number is 1.34 stock and not rooted. Shouldn't it notify me that there's an update at least regardless of whether I want to or not?
If you are not rooted, why did you downgrade to 1.34?
I also don't understand why you want to flash the RUU from a different region. If you aren't SuperCID and S-Off it won't work. Why not just flash the latest official RUU for your phone versions/region if you want to be updated and don't care about root?
I'm not sure why your OTA's don't work. I'm still on 1.34 (well, back to it), and I still get notifications to update.

I bought the phone from a friend of mine. I noticed that it had eng hboot and had s-off.
I have zero knowledge about rooting. When the gingerbread test rom for the desire z came out, I flashed the pc10img.zip via the bootloader, however since it was very buggy and laggy, I decided to flash stock desire z rom.
Having no knowledge about rooting I read some of the threads in this forum and learned that flashing an official rom i.e. the RUU would be the easiest way to return back to stock.
It worked, I am using stock rom. I experimented and found out that I can flash any of the RUU, so I chose any of the WWE release. I decided to flash an older firmware version specifically, the 1.34.707.1.
Now the problem is my phone doesn't prompt me with an update, even after checking in about phone > check for update.
I still have s-off but eng hboot is gone. To clarify I was not the one who rooted the phone, so I have no idea what to do.
Is it possible that the previous owner tweaked something in the phone that would absolutely prevent it from receiving OTA?
I am just worried since I have a feeling that the gingerbread OTA will be released in a few weeks since the update for the Desire HD is already out.
Please help and thank you again. I extremely as a NOOB!

I wouldn't worry about getting the official Gingerbread ROM OTA. It will probably be posted here or at shipped-roms.com long before you would get it OTA.
S-off okay I've searched the forums and can't figure this out I've had a rooted Inc for a year now I had it unrooted for about 2 weeks before using unrevoked too root and install cwm but my hboot is set to s-on this hasn't been a problem until I tried to update cmw it won't install via hboot or rom manager. So I need to get to s off I'm running cm7 latest nightly. I see htc has unlocked the boot loader for the Inc today will this help me? And I rooted my brother's phone at the same time and his is set to s off this is why I'm confused...

Where did you see that the incredibles bootloader had beed unlocked by htc?
Unrevoked shold have given you s-off also.
What android version are you on?
What radio (baseband) version are you on.
EDIT: I see that htc has unlocked the incredibled bootloader, so yes you can just use that to get s-off.

I am trying to get S-Off on my phone. It's a Verizon Incredible 2, but it's now on PagePlus instead of Verizon.
In order to achieve S-Off with Revolutionary, I need 2.2.3. When I try and do an OTA update on my phone, I get an error ('SERVICE UNAVAILABLE Check for Software Update under Settings when service is available'). I am assuming this is because it is trying to check for an update though Verizon and this is Pageplus.
Am I out of luck or is there any way I can get 2.2.3 on here?
I found my answer. I ran the 'downgrade' tool. I saw that this whole time but I have been reluctant to run it since I was upgrading, not downgrading. But I ran it and it worked. Thanks!
Hi guys,
I know that the htc official update is out in Europe but was wondering as reading the custom roms the HBOOT and Radio are not updated....
Is this due to new securities?
Basically am wondering if I could wait for the network to provide the latest update, then install a custom rom so that I have the latest hboot/radio too....
Have not been with htc phones for 2+ years so re-learning things....
Thanks.
A custom firmware can't update HBOOT or the baseband. You can only get it as part of the official HTC firmware updates.
If you're concerned about getting S-OFF then you don't want to update HBOOT just in case it fixes whatever exploit is necessary to get S-OFF.
If you don't care about S-OFF and just want custom firmware whilst accepting that updating HBOOT and the baseband is more annoying then you can do what you suggest. You should pair the baseband with the firmware though for best compatibility. For example, you shouldn't use the baseband for 1.26 with a 1.28 firmware without lots of testing as there might be some odd interactions or bugs.
Thanks for the response.... I reckon there will be a few weeks wait for the update via the network, so hopefully S-OFF has been worked on and available in which case I may just use that method.
Hi!
so i'm on ViperOne 2.5.0 with 2.22.531.6 firmware, unlocked bootloader, rooted, untouched CID and S-On. I'm wanting to update my firmware, gain S-Off, update to newest ViperOne. My plan is to relock the bootloader and run the 2.22.531.6 based T-mobile RUU, re-root and re-unlock plus change recovery to TWRP, run Sunshine to gain S-Off, then install latest ViperOne. Does that plan make sense? Normally I would just go ahead and experiment, but I'm finding the HTC phone to be much more complex than the previous nexii that I've tinkered with. I've been reading on this subject for the last week and I think my plan is sound, but wanted to consult with some more experienced people if they think it'll work. Thank you!

At the beginning of the post you say that you are already on 2.22.531.6, whY do u wanna upgrade if u are already on it?
oh, i wanted to update to firmware 3.xx. Excuse me, I assumed that was implied with updating to the latest Viperone, which requires the 3.xx firmware. So what I ended up doing, for anyone that was/is in the situation I was in, was restoring a TWRP backup of stock Tmobile 2.22.531.6, rooting that with SuperSu.zip before rebooting, then booting into android. I then ran sunshine and obtained S-Off (for me the money was worth it). From there i flashed a stock recovery and allowed the phone to update to the 3.xx firmware via an OTA. Then I re-installed TWRP via an M8 toolkit (only part that required connecting to my PC), and then flashed the latest ViperOne. I obtained all files for this process from XDA. Once again all is well with the universe (for me at least). If anyone wants more details on what I did, let me know.
