That's perfectly fine, I wish people would stop feeling like noobs each time they ask a perfectly legitimate question. (-; It's what the forum is here for.

Well, depends.

If you want just the newer version of the regular system, you can just download the 1.23.708.3 ZIP, install it and be done with it.

However, the OTA update also contains an updated bundle of firmware, i.e. hboot, radio and all the other partitions which can only be installed from stock recovery as part of the OTA itself. So, if you want a full update and return as close to stock as possible, do the following:

(optional) download and flash the old (1.11.708.1) stock ROM – you only need this in case the OTA fails because of installed mods or want to completely undo any root or mods

download and flash the stock recovery from http://amerhippus.x64.me/~johnny64/901S/recovery.img – that's actually the version found in the OTA update

let the system download and install the OTA update

Voilà!

So, to answer some of your questions, no, the stock ROM doesn't flash the recovery, it only contains the stock kernel and /system (it doesn't touch /data either).
[HTC Butterfly S] sephstyler:
thanks for that detailed explanation!!

As I would really like to return to as close to stock as possible, do you know where can I find the 1.11.708.1 stock ROM?

Also, you said to put the stock recovery on FIRST, how do I flash the stock ROM using the stock recovery? All the flashing I've done before was via a custom recovery (CWM TWRP), or by using a stock RUU.

Thanks again, really appreciate your work.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Eh, sorry about the wrong order of steps, that was just a brainfart. Of course, if you want to install the stock ROM, you'll obviously need to flash it using a custom recovery. I'll fix that in the previous post.

As for where you can find it, look up the first post in this thread, there's a "Click to show content" button which will give you links to the previous version.

Hi guys, sorry for the noob question but can I flash the latest stock ROM regardless of CID number? I was on pure stock, and i tried searching for the update but it didn't come through. so i rooted and now that there's a flashable ROM, i was wondering if i need to supercid first, thanks!

Nope, the recovery image files differ.

[HTC Butterfly S] o2demonangel:
Today I have received OTA update from 1.25.707.2 to 2.18.707.2 which is stock OTA update to sense 5.5 and version 4.3.

I tried to extract the firmware update from 4.3 which hold the stock recovery for 2.18.707.2 and flash it via bootlooder.

After flash, the system takes forever to startup. Just stuck at the HTC logo. So I roll back to previous firmware.

How can I to extract the recovery file only from firmware and flash it coz I believe the firmware file inclusive of kernel as well which coz the system unable to boot.

Or the recovery that posted here are applicable to my stock Rom as well? Because the no are different here.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Yes, firmware.zip also contains boot.img, which contains the kernel.

The firmware package is a zip file, only with a signature. You should be able to extract it with any decent unzip tool. There's a file called recovery.img inside, you can extract that and flash it using fastboot.

Of course, but it'll revert the system to stock, i.e. remove any mods, root etc. However, it doesn't touch /data except for /data/preload and the HTC Notes app which are part of the OTAs.

No idea. It did work for me. Are you S-OFF or not? You might have to flash the updated firmware.zip for the ROM to work, but that is just a guess.

Have you flash boot.img after installed the rom??
[HTC Butterfly S] shadez08:
Hey, thanks for that tip. I managed to get micro SD card mounting. But still facing issue with the BlinkFeed and Gallery Apps.

Once again. Since I didn't do S-OFF before I downloaded KitKat like a monkey, I am stuck (I suppose).

Currently, using Google Now Launcher.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Hmm. I'll try to check over the weekend, it's possible that some HTC services package or some such records information about the device ID or something. If that's the case, it should be possible to fake the device ID during installation. But this is just a stab in the dark.

*sigh* Wish I had a second test device.

And as for boot.img, I haven't found any reliable way of flashing it from within recovery. I tried multiple approaches and the one I'm using currently should work on S-OFF devices, but I'm not even entirely sure about that.

And by the way, Firewater has been reported to work even on KitKat. You just may have to try multiple times; it doesn't always succeed on the first attempt. (This was my case as well.)
[HTC Butterfly S] shadez08:
Hey Koniiik, thanks for that confirmation. I tried firewater couple of minutes ago but it said permission denied. Thankfully I had root and hence enabled permissions to the firewater file using Root Explorer. However, ever after doing that, I couldn't get S-OFF. :(

I get the following error message when I run Firewater.

ERROR: kernel contains HTC anti-firewater patch!

****** Try again with a different kernel ******

Hope this helps.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Well, you can always install a previous version of the stock ROM. You can try any of 1.11, 1.23, 2.21; they are all linked in the first post. Looks like HTC fixed the bug exploited by Firewater in the latest kernel, but you can downgrade the kernel.
[HTC Butterfly S] shadez08:

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Just one query before I go head and do it. I am downloading 2.21 stock from your site. Will use firewater on this.

Once that is done, do I go ahead to flash the OTAs 3.06 and 4.10 from the SD Card?

After that, will I still have S-OFF and Tampared flag removed?

[HTC Butterfly S] migascalp:
You need stock recovery for flash OTA
[HTC Butterfly S] shadez08:
I know that, mate. For some odd reason, I was getting "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" error while doing that. Had to wipe everything using TWRP. Flashed Stock Recovery and then Stock ROM. Now flashing OTAs back to back and then shall flash TWRP and SU. Phew. It's gonna be a long night for me.

My friend's phone used to boot it to the bootloader after every 6 hours or so on its own. Now it booted again to the bootloader and bootloops to the HTC screen and bootloader. It is S-ON and bootloader is locked. I can see option for fastboot, recovery. Havent tried anything yet. No custom rom was ever installed and was never rooted.

hboot version is 1.36.0000

Also it shows a warning that Battery Level is too low to flash.

is there anything be done to restore the phone or is it hard bricked?

if you want screenshot of the bootloader then I can post.

RSD lite flashing(not recommended)

Ok. I rooted my atrix before 4.5.145 released. Having rooted its not possible install that OTA(it went into boot loop when tried installing OTA on a rooted device) update. So decided to go back to stock ROM. One solution i found was flashing original .sbf using rsd lite. But it is not recommended to flash .sbf it might brick the device. My case i just flashed the .sbf. It went well i was uprooted after the flash and was able to install 4.5.145. Now i am again rooted and unlocked.

Edit: Other method if you have backed up your stock rom before flashing custom rom i guess you can returned to the backed up stock rom any time using recovery managers(CWM).

I can't understand the reason why people even miss custom ROMS like CM or MIUI as, for me, they only add a little on what the phone already is... :/ And that "little" is not a deal breaker.

Please kindly explain: "but I really miss toying with it like [I did with] my previous phone, roms, tweaks, goodies and... MIUI..." What do you exactly miss from those that you can't do nor have with the Razr i. What is that MIUI or CM provides that is so special??

My Razr i is working perfectly fine on stock ICS. I rooted it and tweak it a bit, disabling/uninstaling some apps, adding a couple of lines to build.prop, using the marvelous Directory Bind app, etc. It's near perfect! That's why I scratch my head and wonder what do people love so much from CM, MIUI and other popular custom ROMs? :/

The only thing that I miss is having an microHDMI port like my beautiful Xperia Pro had, and a custom ROM won't give me that.
