I've been having trouble applying the OTA update and also doing an RUU back to 4.3. Both fail w/unknown errors (stock recovery or TWRP). I just realized that doing a GetVar All in fastboot locks up. All I get is the below. Any idea what might cause this? All I did when I got the phone was unlock the bootloader via HTC and install TWRP for recovery.

The 'too many links' error is just the nature of 1.44 hboot and the error is harmless.

BTW, if you ever think you'll want s-off go ahead and do that using revone before updating.
