Here's stock Rom rooted off new global ota.

Stock rooted with Amon Ra

I have the stock with the ICS OTA, rooted and with Amon Ra installed. I got the prompt for the updated, it downloaded and started the install. I went away and it was booted into recovery when I got back. The Software status shows ADR6425LVW_4.05.605.14-3.14.605.13 and a Status Code of 0. I don't have the GSM option so it doesn't look like the update installed.

What are my options now? Do I need to flash stock recovery? If I do, will I get the prompt for OTA automatically or do I have to manually flash the zip? I don't want to do a factory reset. I would appreciate any help.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
You have to have the stock recovery for the full OTA to install or flash

Just extract the recovery.img from the RUU, and flash it using ADB in Fastboot using the command... fastboot flash recovery recovery.img You can also just download a recovery image, dependent on the specific firmware installed, two of which can be found in Scotty's noob friendly root guide at the bottom of the 1st post...

[HTC Rezound] misalies:
I downloaded and flashed the 605.12 recovery. I then installed the OTA. It failed and reset the phone to factory settings. It seems the stock recovery didn't flash properly. I have tried to flash it a couple of times. The command prompt says it's flashed properly but I can't boot into recovery. It gets to the picture of the phone with the error icon, that's it. I guess this version of the recovery is not compatible with my firmware (3.14.605.13 710RD). I found the OTAPkg for 13 but it doesn't have a recovery. Is there a recovery version compatible with 13?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
When you get to screen with red icon, hold power plus volume up for a few seconds and you should enter the recovery menu. The icon is there as kind of a warning.

What ROM are you on and have you removed or frozen any system apps? Unfreeze them or put them back if so WS the OTA checks for their presence. You may just need to manually install just the firmware.zip and not the full OTA.
[HTC Rezound] nimbice:
Scratch this post, I was being stupid. SOP tonight.
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
How long do I need to hold Volume Up? I held it for 15 secs or so and nothing happens. I tried Volume Down as well.

I have the stock ROM (605.13). The only thing I had done was unlock, root and installed Amon Ra. Now I have reinstalled the stock recovery (relocked). When I try to run the OTA, it gets stuck on the same recovery screen with the red icon.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Power and volume up....
[HTC Rezound] Eddie Hicks:
Those 2 files are all I see available on that site. My firmware is ver. 3.14.605.13. Can I use either of the above recoveries? Thanks
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Use the second one. It doesn't have to match exactly, just close for general compatibility.
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
So, holding Power and Volume up gets me past the red icon. But now I see it's showing the wrong taskID error.

I cleared storage, formatted the SD card. I even tried to apply the update by downloading the OTAPkg.zip to memory card, renaming it to Update.zip. I get the same 'Wrong TaskID" error. Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] Eddie Hicks:
Thank you very much.
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
I grabbed the 605.12 recover and flashed it and relocked the boot loader. I have tried multiple times to run the OTA (both pulling from Verizon and by putting it on the SD card). It keeps failing with the same 'Wrong Task ID' error mentioned by OP. I even wiped the SD Card, did clear storage from stock recovery, a couple of factory resets to no avail.

Can someone help? Is it possible that the 605.13 OTA a month or so ago didn't install properly since I had Amon Ra. In Software it shows I am at 605.13 so I doubt that. But would you suggest running the 605.13 Update.zip manually and then try to pull the OTA?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Just follow my instructions in post 59, for flashing just the firmware.zip (linked to a couple pages ago) That will give you new radios. If you want the stock rom, new version is also linked to in this thread. Or you can flash a custom rom. Just make sure you backup first.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Is there a ruu for this release?
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
I am S-On so I'm not sure if I can follow your steps. I flashed back to the 605.12 RUU hoping I can get the 605.13 and the global update through OTA. Now the 605.13 OTA starts but never gets past 0% on download. I am trying to manually install the 605.13 OTAPkg. I renamed it to update.zip and put it on the SD. When I reboot to bootloader, it doesn't find it or try to update. When I go into recovery to try to run from there, I get an 'Can't open cache\recovery\command error". If I select the 'Apply update from sd card' option, it says 'Invalid Operation' and reboots. What the hell is going on? Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Yes, my steps are for S-On people because I am s-on myself. The reason you are getting the cache error is because you don't have the stock recovery flashed to your phone.

The reason your flash of OTApkg isn't working is because you have to re-lock the phone before you can flash while S-On. Open the OTApkg.zip and extract the firmware.zip that is inside. Put the firmware zip in a folder on your PC that adb/fastboot can access. Then follow my steps. You will lose your boot.img and recovery.img, so be ready to flash the stock recovery back to the phone and restore a boot.img from nandroid or fresh rom install at the end of these steps.

-fastboot boot amon ra recovery. make a backup

-adb reboot bootloader

-fastboot erase cache

-fastboot oem lock

-fastboot oem rebootRUU

-fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

(it will fail for with pre-update flush again immediately error). So do it again -->

-fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

(it will finish)

when its done:

-fastboot reboot-bootloader

-fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

-pull the battery and replace. Hold down volume down button plus power button to boot into hboot, then fastboot mode.

-fastboot boot amon ra

-restore full backup

-reboot
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Does anybody have a link to unrooted/original OTApkg.zip?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
Thank you so much for responding quickly. I do have stock recovery. I flashed it with the version you linked to on Scotty's page. After that, I have flashed the 605.12 RUU as well so I should be as stock as I can get. I am also relocked (Says RELOCKED in hboot).

I was hoping to get the full OTA work through Verizon but I guess I'll try your method. As for boot.img, can I flash the boot.img from 605.12 after I'm done? I have a Nandroid backup from Dec that I can use as well.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Yes, the boot.img from 605.12 should work, as long as you are planning to go back to the stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

You could try substituting update.zip for firmware.zip in the list of steps I gave you. The key line is fastboot oem rebootRUU . That puts the phone in the mode to accept updates. And the first time you flash the zip, it will stop with some sort of cache error. Just re-run the command a second time, and it will finish.

[MENTION=4498729]brenuga[/MENTION]

Do we need to have a step to flash an original recovery in your steps so we wouldn't have issues you encounter?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
Just tried that, it fails signature check. I would have to unlock, flash AmonRa and disable signature check but not sure if this would install without a stock recovery. Thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Try re-naming update.zip to PH98IMG.zip . Or just try extracting the firmware.zip like I said. A few pages back in this thread, someone posted a link to the stock .14 ROM that you could flash to get the rest of what's in the OTA, software upgrades etc. Really not much difference from .12 on the software level.

You won't be able to flash radio updates through a custom recovery, as far as I know. It's part of the S-On "safety net" that keeps you from bricking your device.
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
I have tried that too. Bootloader picks it up, starts the process but then doesn't do anything and goes back to the hboot screen.

If I flash just the firmware.zip, I need to flash the boot.img before I boot the phone, right? Will I still keep getting the OTA nag this way?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Yes, in my steps, where it says "Restore full backup," that's where you would flash your boot.img (or flash the new version of the stock ROM) and the stock recovery. Boot to the homescreen once, then go back and fastboot flash recovery amon_ra_recovery.img to put amon ra back on your phone. You shouldn't get the OTA nag if you have a custom recovery installed.

Flashing the stock recovery is really only necessary because that's what the phone expects you to have during an update. When I used the firmware.zip update method, afterwards I was getting a weird error about cache not found in amon ra. I flashed the stock recovery, chose the "Clear Storage" option (basically the same as Factory Reset in amon ra) and then flashed back amon ra. No more errors.
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
I followed your steps.

1. Fastboot erase cache (already locked)

2. Flashed firmware.zip from the latest OTAPkg in fastboot

3. Unlocked in fastboot

4. Flashed boot.img from one of the latest stock ROMs here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2262012)

5. Flashed stock recovery from 605.12.

Now when I start the phone, it just stays on the 4G screen. Did I not flash the boot.img properly?

EDIT: I flashed a boot.img from an old nandroid backup and the phone boots up now. When I check the software version in settings, it still says 605.12 and I still don't have the GSM option in Network Mode. That doesn't seem right. Is that expected?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Try just restoring the boot.img from your nandroid. Don't restore /data/ or /system as they will overwrite your current rom. Make sure you restore the boot.img in an instance of custom recovery that is launched like so: fastboot boot amon_ra_recovery.img
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
I restored only the boot.img using fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Are you saying I should restore it from custom recovery instead of directly from fastboot?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Forget about the boot.img you downloaded from the .14 rom. It may not be compatible with the .12 rom after all.

You said you have a copy of the .12 boot.img stored in your nandroid backup. You cannot restore nandroid backups in fastboot, only in custom recovery.

When you go to restore the backup, uncheck all of the boxes except for /boot

However, the custom recovery can only write the new boot.img if you launch the custom recovery from your PC using "fastboot boot recoveryname.img"

If you just reboot to the custom recovery on your phone, while S-on, the recovery can't write to the boot partition.

EDIT: Or you could use the same fastboot command, provided you still have a copy of the .12 boot.img lying around somewhere on your PC. Easier just to partially restore the nandroid.
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
I just pulled out the boot.img from my nandroid backup folder and flashed it in fastboot. That should work, right? I am able to boot my phone but everything still seems like it is on 605.12. What gives? I'll try running the firmware update again.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Well, it's because you are still on the 605.12 ROM. Your radios probably changed though. Go to Settings - About Phone and look at where it says baseband version.

It should say 2.23.10.0123r, 2.23.0124r
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
Oh, I thought this would update everything to the latest. Is my only option to get the latest is to flash the full ROM I linked earlier?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Not much difference between the .12 and .14 roms, but if you really want it, just flash that ROM you linked to, wipe dalvik-cache and then make sure you flash the boot.img from your new rom afterwards.

About 5 months ago, I received an OTA update and lost root. Phone still worked fine, but I just ran the recovery from the Boot menu and ran the "flash zip menu" Choose zip frm SD card and selected CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip and the root was restored. This time the OTA hangs on the command prompt.

After being on 2.28 for a while now, I think using google navigation with GPS makes the phone less hot. before it will get warm even if screen is off with turn by turn active. but now my phone is ice cold(seriously)
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
I have asked some people to stop by and walk you thru this today, hang tight. The short answer is you need to run what is called a RUU to get your phone to where you can get the latest OTA.

Since you are rooted, your bootloader is probably still unlocked and needs to be relocked before you can do OTA. I know you said you don't understand the terms, just hang tight and in the meantime, backup all your apps and data using the free version of MyBackup from Google play.
[HTC Rezound] misalies:
Word of warning, I flashed the 605.12 RUU and the update still failed for me. Now it doesn't even download.

What's your ROM, recovery, rooted status etc? If you have a custom recovery, you shouldn't get the OTA prompt I think.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
I had my steps as question.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Open otapkg.zip and pull out firmware.zip

Then follow the steps you posted, but flash firmware.zip instead of otapkg

You will need to either re-flash boot.img from your current ROM, or flash a new ROM, after flashing firmware.zip, as doing so wipes your boot and recovery.

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

Is there no one else at your work or friends that can help?

If you flash a custom ROM, like simplistic 3.0, you will stop getting ota prompt.

Or you could use the Titanium Backup app to freeze the OTAUpdater apps on your phone to stop them from running.
[HTC Rezound] bjlandt:
I'm a little confused. We have a global phone, but can we still change networks? Does the law about unlocking SIM cards apply to us? I know that we are on a CDMA network, but we still have a SIM card in the phone. Is this SIM already unlocked? Can I switch carriers?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
The CDMA portion is still locked to Verizon. The GSM radios are enabled, but you will still need to configure the APN's of the carrier, you won't have LTE, and you may have limited or no 3G depending on the radio spectrum the GSM carrier has.

Also, to reiterate something I've said before. Unlocking still isn't illegal. The Library of Congress simply said it doesn't qualify for an automatic exemption from the DMCA. That doesn't make it automatically illegal. It's still up to the courts to decide that if it ever goes to a trial. The Obama administration has issued statements supporting consumer rights to unlock if not under contract. And most importantly, this is Verizon offering this capability which provides implicit permission, which removes any legal liability of the consumer to the extent that it is allowed by the official software. I hate the media and their sensationalist doomsday reporting...
[HTC Rezound] restlessswind:
Thanks man! Titanium backup is installed, and I froze the updater and VZW installer services. Great idea. Thanks so much for your assistance!
[HTC Rezound] J D A:
Still confused?

So after updating the radios (I'm on baseband 1.22.x/r), etc. with this latest update (after this, I'll be flashing back to the latest CM 10.1 build), GSM radios will be enabled. So will I be able to use AT&T & T-Mobile's 4G HSPA+ networks without a custom GSM patch/fix? All I'll have to do is enter the correct APN settings and go on my merry way, right? And is a stable 3G/HSPA+ signal now possible with this update, correct (since it's an official one)? If it's not possible I'll settle for 3G under Verizon Straight Talk.

I've been researching this since last Wednesday. These were new questions from this thread that I couldn't find any real answers to.

*I'll be on Straight Talk using either AT&T or T-Mobile.

when try to unlock the bootloader mine says "no" which is im guessing down to 3 uk blocking this so if i flashed and debranded the xz would that enable me to have "yes" in the service settings or do i have to contact 3 and somehow hope they would allow me to do this and if not and i still cant unlock my bootloader would there be any sort of hack or something in the future that might enable this to happen

thanks in advance for any feedback

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diego9016:
AFAIK, if your device says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO", there's no way to unlock it.

There are roms that work with BL locked also, if you're interested.

The only reason (For now) to unlock BL would be CM or Custom kernel.
