i deferred it as well but can not find it on either internal or sd. Yes you had only 3 minutes to defer and with it automatically installing that would mean lots of people will have this happen. Did you unlock and root before this update? Did you lose root?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
could be a hidden file? Check with windows explorer with show hidden checked.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Nothing showing with the hidden folders checked.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
damn. we gotta get it some way.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
same here 10char
[HTC Rezound] rileyd5:
yep, mines checked already.
[HTC Rezound] oowoon:
I doubt they would keep the update file around on the phone after an update.

Ruling the air with 4G LTE on the HTC Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yeah that is why we need someone to pull it when it boots into recovery.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
In my Software Update under Settings, I get this message on status:

[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
So what would happen if I go back to stock via a nandroid restore, try the OTA, then wipe and restore my most recent nandroid? My thoughts are that whatever isn't flashed to the radio is eventually going to be cooked into ROMs, but to the extent this OTA includes a flash to the radio, there's absolutely no other way to get it.

If I did so, I would try to capture the zip file, of course.

Thoughts, anyone?
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
i haven't updated yet so it HAS to still be there... i have an idea maybe it stores it on the root?
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
How do you stop OTA updates
[HTC Rezound] king.james:
Mine downloaded and attempted to reboot on it's own. Of course it stopped in AmonRa and failed to update. But the update still seems to be on the phone... I will attempt to pull it off.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Maybe search around with Root explorer ?
[HTC Rezound] icy1899:
What about scanning the ad card with recuva or some other recovery software?

Sent from my HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Can you report the version numbers and radio numbers?
[HTC Rezound] rileyd5:
if you accept the ota on bone stock(rooted). Who's to say it will allow you to restore a nandroid. It may not have root anymore. I was thinking about that as well.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
No trace of any update file on sd card or internal memory.

It is showing more bars at home and calls sound a lot better for sure. :D
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Mydownload finished but never rebooted. I was hitting the home button from gmail when it beeped. Guessing missed the prompt. Any ideas how to update? Check updates does nothing at all.
[HTC Rezound] Pico:
it will restore the Nandroid Backup, Ive done it twice already since I downloaded the update
[HTC Rezound] jdg1:
Extended battery has dropped from 38% to 27% in 10 just minutes after it rebooted after update. Also this thing is HOT!.

Please don't let this be the Thunderbolt MR2 affair all over again :mad:
[HTC Rezound] rileyd5:
thanks so you are still rooted then?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
it is likely a reboot and wipe would fix it.
[HTC Rezound] Pico:
yes still rooted, the OTA failed to finalize. It would reboot and get stuck on the recovery screen for me, so I guess it wont work on a rooted phone with the stock ROM.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
the file is in /cache/fumo (or something very similar). Use root explorer. And I can again confirm that on a stock, rooted ROM, the update will boot into recovery and fail.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
okay guys. Found this file in cache. Called OTAPkg.zip

Here is the link.

Enjoy!!!!! Share the love!

[HTC Rezound] andybones:
mind posting the numbers of the software, and if theres a new radio??
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
No, it is still stock. Waiting for dev s-off before I root. The new radio seems to give me a stronger signal at home. :)
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Thanks! Downloading it now.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
I have that file. Anyway to force install?
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
anyone know how to make it NOT try to update?
[HTC Rezound] jdg1:
Battery at 23% and falling.

Did reboot but can't wipe because I don't have root.

I really don't want to do a factory reset after all the trouble of setting up the phone and apps.

Edit: Still running hot at 105 degrees. It never broke 100 before.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
wait has anyone gotten this installed? if so DOES IT UPDATE H-BOOT? i know for a fact that h-boot 2.11 breaks the temp root that we currently have.
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
Errrr.... Mine was frozen at 0%. No option to cancel download or anything. I shut down, then restarted my phone and now it is downloading. Still no option to cancel. I am scared. This is going to screw up my root, isn't it? Anybody want me to do anything with this thing while it goes through its process?
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Baseband version 0.95.00.1118r, 0.95.00.1223r

[HTC Rezound] bigdwg71:
I just happened to look down and my phone rebooted and applied the update without any sort of prompt, so stay watchful or turn your phone off at night or you will have the update whether you want it or not.

The most noticeable difference is that where I use to get 4G service here in my office, I am now only getting 3G... Sooooo, that sucks.

The 5-bar signal indicator is nice though.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Looking at the zip, there's a 30 megabyte firmware.zip file in there, that has to be at least a kernel revision unless it also flashes to the radio (that's why I'm looking for version numbers). Lots of other regular apps are apparently patched/updated, so I think I'll wait a while to see what shakes out from this file and into the ROMs here. I don't want to go through the aggravation of RUU back to stock unrooted just to experiment.

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

OK, that's definitely a radio update. Stock is 0.95.00.1017_2r, 0.95.00.1013r

Damn you S-ON.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
So if we update? Will our devices be locked back or will we be able to unlock it again?
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
In the OTA.zip I see a 2.11 hboot in there.. but someone said that they isntalled the OTA then was able to go to nandroid backup?
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
Damn thing just restarted on its own into recovery and failed to install. Rebooting now...

Reboots and says "No New Software Update Available" and then has an option to "Finish."

Restarting for kicks, just to see if the attempted installation messed anything up regarding the normal boot process...

No problems on this restart.

I can confirm that the file referenced in recovery for failed installation was the file noted in the cache folder earlier.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
With the update, HBOOT is now 2.11.0000 :D
[HTC Rezound] papi92:
Someone want to post the radios?
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
isn't that a bad thing though??

can you root after the OTA update???

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

From my understanding you can't install a radio with s-on??
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
YES THATS A VERY BAD THING. sorry i am annoyed but i have been playing around with an S-off device for quite some time now a a flashed this H-boot and the temp root no longer worked...
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
well too much for updating to OTA for the new radio.. :/
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Post # 72 :D
[HTC Rezound] papi92:
I want the radios in a zip file lol I have a full s-off rezound and I only want radios
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
flash the entire thing then you can downgrade H-boot
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
well you are a lucky man.

I envy you and your s-off lol.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
So this update will bork the cleanup tools we have that use temp root? Can I use the cleanup tool and then update, or will it fail?
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
the cleanup tools use temp root so i assume they will fail
[HTC Rezound] papi92:
The update won't force my phone to S-On??
[HTC Rezound] con247:
it won't relock the phone.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
So if cwm is installed how do i flash this?
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
Anyone have an explanation why even om stock rom, it boots to recovery and fails? Using amonra btw, is that why ?
[HTC Rezound] dulla1031:
Works On Rooted/Stock

Updated with Stock ROM/Rooted, S/ON... Update went fine. Lost Root.
[HTC Rezound] Easton999GS:
You have to relock your phone flash an ruu then u cam update,

You can't flash updates on unlocked phones

Use fastboot OEM relock command
[HTC Rezound] tbogs:
I have installed this new update and from what I can see, OneClick Root does not work. I ran this over a month ago and was able to gain root. Anyone else have root with this new update?
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
The cleanup tool will fail, or the update will fail?

I've got a CLNR Rezound coming today, and what I want to do is cleanup tool it, and then update it, but if the update will fail because of the removed bloat, then that's a problem.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
use amonra to re-root
[HTC Rezound] Cubs2008:
They are definitely new radios. I did a factory reset on the wife's phone and it flashed it after that with no issues (she is locked and not rooted.) I am running ICS on mine but I can't wait to see how well the radios work on our ICS leak.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
is there a way to stop it from trying to update if you are unlocked and rooted? any killfota.apk we can use?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
You can go through the system/app folder and remove the OTA related packages. I've done that, and so far today I have had no notification of any OTA updates..
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
So, please check me on this, would the way to get this (if you have S-ON but unlocked bootloader, RA Vigor recovery and rooted) as follows:

1. Flash the original RUU.

2. Reboot normally, download and run/flash the OTA update.

3. Reboot to hboot, load recovery (OTA will not wipe recovery).

3A. If hboot *has* wiped recovery, goto fastboot and flash RA Vigor.

4. RA Vigor's "Developer" menu has option "flash su and superuser", run that.

5. Reboot.

6. If you don't care about anything but the radio, restore your last Nandroid, else you've got stock, root and the latest update.

7. Restore apps/settings, etc.

Does that sound about right?
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
Are you unlocked ? Which recovery you use ?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Perfect. Couldn't have outlined it better myself.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
The cleantool won't work after the update
[HTC Rezound] Easton999GS:
con i cant run the RUU cause of a mainver error. what can i do
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Any other way to get root back?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW... An HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] heleos:
So I was one of the less-experienced users who flashed the ICS leak and accidently updated my mainver.

I see there's an android-info.txt in the zip, and a few other places where the mainver shows up... If I try to change those to the 3.10 version that I have, would that allow this to flash? My first thought would be no, that they must have some sort of checksum so people can't tamper it, but thought I'd ask anyway
[HTC Rezound] con247:
No, it will fail the signature. The reason that works for custom stuff is because it doesn't sigcheck system,recovery, and boot.img
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Right, we get that. But will the update take if cleantool was used? It sounds like maybe no.
[HTC Rezound] heleos:
That's what I figured :(

Looks like we need to get some devs to accidently upgrade their mainver so they can work on s-off :D
[HTC Rezound] Easton999GS:
so what do we do?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I did see a couple things in the OTA zip file that piqued my interest. I couldn't open the firmware.zip file on the PC at all which struck me as odd. One of the other zip files, however, (cwcerts.zip) looks very much like an unlock code (like the codes we got when we unlocked the bootloader) which must enable the OTA to "unlock" the radio long enough to flash to it.

I wonder whether that kind of info can help the right people move closer to S-OFF so we don't have to deal with all this aggravation.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
If I have time tonight (unlikely, but possible) I can rip out as much as the signature checking as possible so that you guys can atleast get the new boot image and system stuff. But you guys can't get the new radio.
[HTC Rezound] heleos:
I had no problem opening firmware.zip, it contains a boot.img, radios, recovery, and some other stuff
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Only ones I found were HTC COTA Client and MCC_OTA, are these the ones you removed?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Most of this is wrong lol...

Firmware.zip can be opened.. just not with windows explorer. You need to use 7zip or something.

The radio flashes fine because it is signed by htc. No "unlock" needed... it is accepted because it is signed. If we could sign our own stuff, we could flash things at whim even with S-ON "Locked"
[HTC Rezound] Easton999GS:
i have an idea on how i can get the new radios to flash even though my mainver is updated
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
So I know just enough to be dangerous to my own phone..... LOL. I saw another poster said there's a recovery in there, so I suppose I should add to my list above that you have to reflash RA Vigor if you run the RUU then the OTA.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Idk there is a chance it won't overwrite it.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
If anyone who flashed it successfully wants to upload their stock rooted system image (system image ONLY) from a nandroid that would make it very easy for me to build a stock rooted rom based on this update. The update files are distributed in a way that I can't just drop them in to a rom.zip and be done with it.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
So unlocked folks cant install this even if we havent romd?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
If you are unlocked and haven't gotten your mainver updated, you can run it fine.
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
I think mine updated while I was at school without me knowing. immediatly I tried opening titanium backup and it said I could not get root access. Is my phone still unlocked and will I need to re-root or is it locked again? thank you.

also since I'm new is mainver the main version and how do I know if I have that?
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Cant figure how to get it to install. No roms but run cwm and rooted. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
put stock recovery on..
[HTC Rezound] Viper32:
If you will tell me were to upload I can send you a original stock rooted nandroid.... PM me with details............

If I restore a stock rooted nandroid will it restore original boot.img also?

[HTC Rezound] andybones:
has anyone with mainver ICS leak attempted the OTA just for trying?
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Hey guys. I still have root. Check out the method i did. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466474
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
since i can't post on that thread yet I was wondering, if it updated when I have unlocked boot and perm root am I still unlocked?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
C'mon people, read the thread....it's been said at least twice before, OTA will not relock the bootloader. Locking the bootloader and losing root are two different things.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
I locked bootloader before OTA so i am not sure what will happen when you are unlocked and install the OTA
[HTC Rezound] con247:
The key takeaway here folks is this will not prevent the unlocking of the bootloader. If the bootloader is unlockable, it is rootable.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
I have read this thread and my head hurts... I am unlocked, rooted, and that is about it (I have unintstalled blockbuster and a few other things) if I get this ota will it download and work for me?

If downloaded and works, will I still have root? If not, will one click root still work to re root?

If not what do I need to do to get it to work?

Thank You

PS am running cwm for recovery
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
thank you for the help. I am going to go perm root my phone again by trying out the one click zerg as I did before.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Can someone make a thread on different ways to get root back after OTA? Yes, I know there are posts already, but this is going to happen all over again when we get ICS. Having a thread dedicated to regain root after updating anything will be awesome. Especially since I'm part of HTC Elevate.

Also, I don't want to Amon Ra to get root back, if possible. I never use it, since I'm strictly all about CWM recovery.

Edit: I'm going to try this and see if it works. From NilsP to you:

[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:
I hate feeling like a noob, but I am gonna ask away.

For those of us who have a more visual learning style...

Could some one possibly but instructions on how to re-root after the OTA in video form. Me personally am "using" (i say that because my knowledge is VERY limited) AmonRa Recovery.

Great Thanks to anyone who could help.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
once you unlock your bootloader you are rooted basically. just fastboot recovery, then load up a nandroid or the stock OTA u just installed.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
use the link in my sig. It will ALWAYS work. Although I need to update the amonra PH image right now for the new mainver. I would recommend everyone just wait for a stock rooted version.
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
If I decided to wait for the stock rooted version, will it containt the updated radio that this update contains?
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
So for us techno challenged... if we are rooted do the ota, all we need to do to regain root is a restore a nandroid, but the ota will have stuck?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yes, but you will also I believe need get the new hboot and stuff too. Which really isn't a bad thing. Ill make one with and one without. This will happen as soon as I get the stock rooted system dump from someone who is working it now for me.
[HTC Rezound] majorhunadadun:
So I'm original stock, unlocked and perm rooted with RA Recovery. You say just wait for a stock rooted update?

just remember to do *22899 if the radio is changed if you think you're dBm became worse

So i flashed stock recovery over cwm, booted into recovery and the update started. Went on, rebooted and back in to recovery where it gave me a red exclamation mark. I rebooted and the OS was 2.0 now but the radio was still the old version. Wifi wouldn't work, etc.. Any ideas? I managed to restore a cwm backup(after reflashing cwm recovery) and wifi and such works again at least.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
the OTA only works with stock recovery. I will package a flashable version once I get a system image from someone.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Now that I have stock recovery installed again, anyway to force it to do the update?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Not sure honestly.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
So you think you'll be able to package this update for flashing through clockwork or amonra? Will we have to wipe data or just overwrite with it?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I will release it as a full rom. I will not know if it will require a wipe. I will probably not test before I release it. I have never had issues though with getting a stock rooted rom booting though lol so it will be fine. I will make one that will install the new firmware and one that doesn't. At this point though, it probably won't happen tonight. I still haven't gotten the stock image. It is Thirsty Thursday so my priorities are gonna switch in about an hour from engineering assignments to drinking and I don't think you want me making a firmware flashing rom after that happens lol.
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
You can't just go to settings-->system update and have it check?

It will take me a while, but I can go back to a rooted stock ROM, stock recovery, and load the update and then get you your stock system image with the update. Unless the person you have working on it hasn't ditched you.

If I do it, do you have a preferred file I use for stock recovery and OS? And do you want me to relock bootloader before updating?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
If you can upload it, that would be awesome. I haven't heard anything from my source lately. If you go back to rooted stock, flash the update, reboot a couple times, root from amon ra, reboot a couple times, then take a nandroid and give me that system image that would be very helpful. A dropbox link would work great or anything of the sort.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
When I click "Check" it does nothing at all, so guess not
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
I don't need to relock bootloader or go to stock recovery?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
you probably do. Relock then running the ruu would be the best bet. But honestly at this point tonight I don't think I can get stock rooted done.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
alright, I have heard from viper. I don't need another system.img
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
OK, thanks for letting me know. RUU was about downloaded and I was about to run it. Just in time.
[HTC Rezound] tombepa:
I tried to update from stock rooted and it failed when it restarted cause it went to Amon Ra
[HTC Rezound] daddyshatch:
Is there a way to force the update? I have a stock phone and something happened when it was downloading the update and it will not update... status is blank. I have the OTA zip that was posted here, any way to use that to update. I really don't want to do a factory reset if I don't have to.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
You might as well factory reset. The ota will wipe your device anyway. Pretty sure your photos and videos will be safe. Good luck.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
i dont think this OTA will wipe the device. i could be wrong though
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Yeah, I'm a moron. Just got home from work and was all jacked thinking this was ICS. Now I'll just wait for cleanrom update.

Also sorry for helping to lead the thread slightly off topic...
