you need to have stock recovery on your phone to install the ota update otherwise it will fail to install

    ===FOR EVERYONE WHO GETS STATUS 7 or 6 like: === (Thanks crystalic)

    assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
    "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,
    "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC__001" , "HTC__102" ,
    "HTC__E11" , "HTC__203" , "HTC__032" , "HTC__304" , "HTC__A07" ,
    "HTC__405" , "HTC__Y13" , "HTC__N34" ,
    "HTC__016") == "t");

    1. download 7zip (google it, free) and open up "S_OFF_4EXT_RECOVERY_OTA_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Eu rope_3.28.401.1-1.20.401.8_release_2627623qpt0ma8rnwgn0qq.zip" with 7zip, and go to

    META-INF/com/google/android/

    and extract "updater-script" to your desktop. Be sure it's not extracted as .TXT and DO NOT OPEN IT WITH NOTEPAD

    2. Download Notepad++ (google it, it's free) and open up the "updater-script" from the desktop.
    Comment out the lines, by putting # in front of them:

    #assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
    # "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,
    # "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC__001" , "HTC__102" ,
    # "HTC__E11" , "HTC__203" , "HTC__032" , "HTC__304" , "HTC__A07" ,
    # "HTC__405" , "HTC__Y13" , "HTC__N34" ,
    # "HTC__016") == "t");

    3. then go to File=>Saves As=>Name: updater-scipt Type: All types (*.*)
    Now go back to your "META-INF/com/google/android/" in the 7zip and delete the existing "updater-script", and the put inside the new one from the desktop

    4. push the zip to your SD card now and install it from 4ext recovery (and don't forget to install firmware as described in the first post)

    ***NOTE: be sure to use 7zip and Notepad++ because they don't seem to corrupt the files by manipulating with them as classical Notepad does***

    IF u S-ON u could flash the latest GB RUU to revert back to stock then use the OTA but
    I would recommend to flash my Rom whilst with new hbooot u probably won't be able to flash any custom roms is ur choice.

    u all missing the first step u MUST HAVE LATEST GB ROM INSTALLED
    THE OTA is PATCH for GB ROM it will check all neded files then patch them
    afther patching it will copy new files thats it

    the name S_OFF_4EXT_RECOVERY_OTA_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1-1.20.401.8_release_2627623qpt0ma8rnwgn0qq.zip

    from 1.20.401.8 patch to 3.28.401.1

    its still not confirmed..

    also possible that downgrade will be possible

    I confirm you that downgrading won't work.
    You know why? because they now also check the hboot version if the current one is lower than the one you flash. Downgrading misc partition will work but hboot won't. No chance for you. it's the same problem that the cmda peops had.

    Also to everyone who has root and s-off. Don't flash the official Update!

    ===FOR EVERYONE WHO GETS STATUS 7 or 6 like:
    assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
    "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,
    "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC__001" , "HTC__102" ,
    "HTC__E11" , "HTC__203" , "HTC__032" , "HTC__304" , "HTC__A07" ,
    "HTC__405" , "HTC__Y13" , "HTC__N34" ,
    "HTC__016") == "t");

    download 7zip (google it, free) and open up "S_OFF_4EXT_RECOVERY_OTA_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1-1.20.401.8_release_2627623qpt0ma8rnwgn0qq.zip" with 7zip, and go to
    META-INF/com/google/android/
    and extract "updater-script" to your desktop. Be sure it's not extracted as .TXT and DO NOT OPEN IT WITH NOTEPAD

    Download Notepad++ (google it, it's free) and open up the "updater-script" from the desktop.
    Comment out the lines, by putting # in front of them:
    #assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
