It is wise to save the OTA.zip somwhere before you proceed the updating process. The stock boot & recovery img inside the firmware.zip inside the OTA.zip will helps you later on if the updating process is stuck in between.

And importantly, make a nandroid backup for the newly updated software version in case you need to revert to stock and there is no RUU available.

[HTC One V] ckpv5:
As you said, you already have a CWM recovery, then you need a stock recovery flashed first. The next question is which stock recovery ? The one that listed on that thread is 1.56 version which is meant for hboot 1.16. So check what is you hboot now ? If it is still 1.16, then you can use that recovery. If it is 1.17, you need a 1.58 or 2.09 recovery.
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
thank you so much,my software number is 2.09.720.1 so which recovery file should i download?

thank you.
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
There is none for 2.09.720.1 available in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748684

So the best bet that I can suggest is save the OTA.zip as I mentioned earlier and use the recovery that comes with the OTA.

Or you can try 2.09.707.1 that I posted here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30809441&postcount=11 but not so sure whether it will work or not but it should.
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
ok last doubt...how to save ota.zip once can u explain me in brief. :)
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
When it says there is an update, accept it, let it download. When it ask to install now or later, choose later.

Then connect your device in Disk Drive mode, search the OTA.zip in your sdcard/downloads (or somewhere... can't really remember the exact location), you will see something like OTA_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.22.707.2-2.09.707.1_release_2747801watcgzu6nhcsgzh.zip as example.

Save it to your PC. Open it with 7-zip, you will see firmware.zip. Extract the firmware.zip, you will have the boot.img & recovery.img
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
I tried really hard but didn't find the ota..I know I'm irritatin you with my silly doubts but please don't mind.... :(
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
I found only the apps which I've downloaded ..but didn't find any ota...coz I didn't download any ota.zip should I download nythin...?
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Only when you don't have the last updated stock boot.img & recovery.img that are meant for your device.
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
I did it and browsed it with astro file manager...didn't find ny thin....
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
sorry dude..I foud the zip now I have to extract the zip ?
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
I ft boot.IMG and recovery...now I hav to flash them?
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
dude u gave me an invalid rar file its not gettin extracted please giv me a valid link...
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
I want fast boot.exe download link...what u gave is nt extracting...
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Haha... that's a big secret... hehe...

There is an option in User CP - Edit Options where you can tick to use the invisible mode.
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
@ ckpv

I found the two files..now what should I do...?
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Here is the fastboot.zip.

Extract it to your PC desktop.

put both recovery.img and boot.img in fastboot folder.

put your device in fastboot mode (press power until the three button blinking and screen off, release the power button and hold the volume down button until it boots to hboot. press power once to go to fastboot mode and connect to pc.

inside the fastboot folder,

run Install Recovery.img.bat (it will install the recovery)

then

run Install Boot.img.bat (it will install the boot.img)

reboot

run the OTA update

Once the OTA update is complete, the device will hang a bit because this is a major update, it will take sometimes (about 10 mins), just let it be and it will reboot once completed.
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Yeah... because this is the second time you asked... ;)
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
thank you so much..now il do it...hope everything goes well... :)
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
ok this is my last question...before puttin my phone in fast boot should enable USB debugging....?
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
It doesn't matter.

Most important is remove the root before OTA update.

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

No :eek:
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
ya I got ota root keeper...I temporarily unrooted it is that ok...?
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
I never use that but people say it works. Just give it a try.
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
ok il let u know about it soon if it works
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
it went wrong...i got struck in between...everything went fine update started to install and suddenly it stopped in the middle and a red error triangle came...pleaseeeee help what should i do...i rebooted it from fastboot now..
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Not so sure why the update is not successful. I never have that situation even when I updated my device without relocking bootloader.

Do you still have the unlockcode.bin that you received from htc ? If yes, maybe try the OTA with a relocked bootloader. But after re-unlock, you will lose all data.
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
relocking bootloader will unroot my device permanently ??and how to relock my boot loader..? :D

i really thank you for your patience... :)
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
But I read somewhere that say, the OTA fails due to some system apps are disabled or deleted. The OTA cannot patch the missing app.

As you mentioned that you're on stock rom, I assume you don't delete anything from system/app.

To fully unroot, you need to use the "Full unroot" option in SuperSu app. Relocking the bootloader will not remove the root and OTA will fail.

To relock bootloader, in fastboot mode, you type fastboot oem lock
[HTC One V] Lloir:
ALL of this information is in the general section!
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
ya i disabled some system apps..should i enable them and try again..???if it still doesnt work il try relocking the bootloader..is that ok..?? :D
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Ya... enable all then try again.
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
Again the same thing happened.... :( ok should i try relocking the bootloader..???
[HTC One V] samy.iglesias:
ok..can i unroot it through SuperSu app..??
[HTC One V] Fikus011:
ok...i have been reading this and thinking to my self...WTF!!!!!!!!

Why are you complicating this.JUST GO READ CKPV5´s thread about OTA updates and do as writen.

1.You do not have to unroot

2.You do not have to relock

3.You must have stock recovery

4.You have to flash stock boot.img

5.YOU MUST HAVE ALL STOCK APPS

6.YOU MUST HAVE ALL APPS ENABLED

Just listen CKPV5 and what he tells you.

and download OTA RootKeeper before you update

I want to buy a phone from someone on Craigslist. How can I be sure that phone not stolen? Person says was purchased from t-mobile.
[General Questions and Answers] chris170569:
Are u in UK? If so one way would be to get the IMEI number and check with t mobile that it not been blocked by them.

Before u hand over any cash. Check the EMEI number on the phone itself with the number the seller gives you.
[General Questions and Answers] sun365:
no, I am in the US

no, usa
[General Questions and Answers] chris170569:
Still might be useful to check the imei number with t mobile. Also check if the seller still has the box the phone came in. The imei number on the box should match with the one on the phone. Is the phone locked to t mobile or unlocked?
[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
What chris stated is correct. Take ESN/MEID from the phone and verify with your provider. If not stolen, I would have the seller write a letter of sale clearly stating that it has been sold to you. Take the letter to your provider, tell them you want it documented. The whole letter thing is not a necessary step, but this way if the seller is a d-bag, won't be able to take your money and than call the provider and say it was stolen leaving you in the dirt.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
It isn't just a stolen phone that you have to worry about. T-mobile now sells phones on the "value" plan. Where you get a better discount but pay monthly for that phone. If they stop paying their bill, your phone will be blocked from the network. So you also have to find out from the carrier if the phone is linked to a value plan.

Mine Recovery doesn't work after I installed recovery.img it doesn't work! Every time I try to enter recovery HTC wallpaper appears and reboots the phone. Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] bsphil:
First off, this isn't my phone, it's a co-worker's. I'm in IT and actually have access to our Exchange 2007 server. My Galaxy SIII doesn't have this problem, neither do any other iPhones or Android phones in the office.

Ever since an update earlier this month, the phone will not sync with the exchange calendar at all. He claims to have not had an issue prior to that. However, I've noticed that most calendar items aren't there, but recurring items that he made himself (not sure if that was on the phone or not) are on the calendar, even as of this week's calendar. I don't know if that's due to old items being deleted or not. New calendar items aren't syncing to the phone, though. You also cannot create a new event on the phone via the exchange account. After hitting save, a message will briefly confirm the event is saved, and nothing will appear on the calendar.

Everything else about the exchange connection works just fine: emails, tasks, contacts, all fine. In the sync menu, it's showing that they're all automatically syncing, but nothing actually appears in the calendar.

Is there something I'm missing that I wouldn't know as someone who hadn't bought the phone? After researching here and on Google, I can't seem to find anyone else with this specific issue, or at least something related to a recent update. It does look like the EVO in general isn't great at syncing with exchange.

EDIT: Somehow after making a PC Sync event and google calendar event, I was able to then make an exchange event, which appeared on his outlook calendar. Still, nothing is syncing. PC Sync is entirely empty.

Details:

Not rooted

Android: 4.0.3

HTC Sense: 3.6

Software version: 2.89.651.2 710RD

EDIT 2: Now newly created items made from the PC are syncing as well. Already existing ones are still missing. What the hell, man. Should I just have him re-create the account on the phone to force an update of those missing items?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Not an expert at all, but I was going to suggest deleting the account on the phone and recreating it. Maybe some setting is corrupted that recreating will remedy.
