Hi all, i have unlocked my bootloader and flash in a custom recovery with custom ROM.
Currently i want to return back to stock 4.4.2, firmware 4.20.707.6. However there are no stock rom available.
I even tried using the htc1guru reset method. It downgraded to 4.3, received OTA but fails to install.
Is it possible to flash a lower version of firmware to my device and receive the OTA update, or can i use Guru Reset method to downgrade to 4.3 and manually flash the OTA?
By the way, i am still S-ON :(
Below are my version information:

When trying to install the OTA did you reflash the stock recovery? OTA will not install with custom recovery.

To return to stock you need to flash stock recovery then relock the bootloader (but your bootloader flag is RELOCKED)
To have a proper back to stock, it is best to have a S-Off device and then below steps :
1. flash the stock ROM
2. with a custom recovery like TWRP, flash the SuperSU.zip for root access
3. LOCK the bootloader with a special LOCK command (the bootloader will show LOCKED)
4. flash the stock recovery
5. full unroot the SuperSU thru its settings
6. S-ON the device with special fastboot command
7. Done - you'll have a device with a stock ROM with LOCKED status

Yes, you will be able to receive OTA when there is one.

And you don't need to relock bootloader to do OTA update but you need to have a stock recovery flashed prior to OTA update, the OTA won't work with any custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.

There is no further OTA currently for 4.20.707.6.... actually I was wondering why do you need to revert to stock in the first place :confused:

Also why is TAMPERED there ? Is the recovery the correct one and the boot.img also the stock one ? Did you flash any custom hboot that remove the red text warning before you relock the bootloader ?

I want to revert my phone to stock and receive future updates :cowboy: and i just want to try some custom roms in the android world. Well currently i just want to use my phone as a stock device and receive updates when available, something like a retirement..lol

not sure how the TAMPERED got there but hope it does not effect any OTA :eek:
nope, i did not flash any custom hboot, i just use fastboot to lock my bootloader.

What i did was :
1. Wipe everything and and push the stock rom to twrp, then install
2. reboot to fastboot and relocked my bootloader and flash in the 4.20.707.6 firmware
3. factory reset and now running stock.

Hope i did not do anything wrong @@
