Not enough info. Did you restore stock recovery? Why can't you install OTA (what error messages, etc.)?

Did you turn it back to S-on after doing S-off? If so, you didn't need to, as s-on is not required for OTA.

What is the current state of the phone, is it bootlooping, etc.?

The error.message from htc says the phone is rooted or tampered with and.cannot perform.update, I tried recovery and.relocking, to see if i can do the ota, same.error, I tried to flash the ota by going into the recovery screen after recovery to stock, where hold volume up and.press power brings up a menu to install from device or sd card, no luck there, says invalid cid

It's a guess but H/K is a mod changing Kernel and will thus prevent OTA from succeeding as far as I know.

So is there a step by step for a clean twrp install ? Guess I didn't do that since I'm having issues

Ya I'll have to try when I get home, I'm hoping it works, and then I'll have to see what benefit there is to rooting since I haven't really done anything since.doing.the Harman kardon

    Oh ok, well still no luck

    What is your CID now ?

    BM___001 has OTA
    SASKT001 doesn't have OTA yet I guess

    SuperCID should have one

    So that I dont create a new thread.. My question is easy... so I hope you dont mind me jumping in on this..

    I have pure stock rom and recovery S-On, 1.36.. HTC_001 and Im not getting the update either.

    All I want to do is manually apply the update..

    I have the zip file

    OTA_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_2.22.401.5-1.54.401.10_release_387486.zip\

    Do I need s-off to apply it and how do i apply it please :)

    You can't manually install the OTA.zip with S-On, only S-Off

    But

    You can update the firmware to 2.22.401.5 with S-On then restore a 2.22.401.5 backup to complete the process .. you'll have a stock 2.22.401.5 ROM with 2.22.401.5 firmware. (another workaround to get to the latest)
