Frequently Asked Questions
_______________________________________________________
will update as they come in :p


Q: If my bootloader is Unlocked, or I'm on a custom recovery, can I take the OTA?
A: No, Relock with
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and make sure you're on the stock recovery.(linked in post #3)

Q: If I'm on one of the leaked ICS Firmwares, will I be able to take the OTA?
A: No, you have two paths you can take to get the OTA, you can downgrade GB and take the OTA (S-OFF only), or you can manually update using the RUU.exe or PH98IMG.zip (linked in Post #3).

Q: If I upgrade, will I be able to keep root?
A: You will lose it initially, but you should be able to get it back by unlocking and flashing Amon Ra, or by flashing the JBear HBoot and flashing a SuperUser.zip (linked in post #3)

Q: How do I unlock after taking the OTA or running the RUU?
A: If you kept the Unlock_code.bin in your fastboot folder, you can use fastboot to
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Otherwise, redo the HTCDev steps like before

Q: How do I run an RUU?
A: See the link in post #3 it contains instructions for both the .exe and the PH98IMG.zip

1. Open Settings by pressing Menu and tapping Settings (or opening the settings Icon)

3. Click Software Update
4. Accept and Download

*OR*
2. Relock bootloader (Only if S-ON) and run the OTA RUU

If you're on one of the ICS Firmwares, I'll assume you already know how to flash an RUU (as you have to to get on the leaked firmware) so I won't explain that in this post. If you really don't know how, see this guide: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/flashing-ruu-htc

I'll start, because I don't think that I have seen a definitive answer yet.

Has anybody running a leak been able to pull and install the update OTA?

Relock your bootloader, then try to take the update :)

If you're on a leak, you will have to either downgrade to GB and take the OTA, or run the full RUU.exe, or PH98IMG.zip

DO i go through the same steps as i did when i unlocked it :p >?

Same site and same unlock link or ?:

To lock the bootloader, look in post #2 I included the fastboot code for it. To unlock again, you can just flash the same unlocktoken.bin that you used the first time if you kept it. If not, then you will have to use HTCdev to unlock again

Could i get a link to a site or a guide of some sort to lock the boot loadeR :p. I dono where the code goes that you have supplied :p. I had to use steps to unlock my bootloader too :p>

Even on my Droid X i had to follow steps to get a custom rom on it :p. I have not dipped my toes in the world of phones too much :p

All you have to do is open the command prompt app, type CD C:\path to the\folder you put\adb and fastboot in. (So if you had it in you desktop you'd type cd C:\Users\YourUserName\Desktop\Android-SDK [or whatever you called it])

Then type (without quotes) "fastboot oem lock"

It's that simple! :)

IM sure it is simple :p.

But even that is confusing for me as i unlocked my bootloader many moons ago with step by step directions so i have not done this since then.

Like setting up an SBS server from scratch and configuring a network with computers and printers and a VPN and or working in exchange is simple cause i do it everyday :p haha.

Sorry to have wasted your time loL. I will stick around till someone uploads a youtube video or tutorial for this:p

Thank you for your efforts :p

Sorry again.

1.You have to use the command line so open that up.

2. navigate to where you placed the fastboot files
> type "cd\" without the quotes
> type cd where did you put the fastboot files
so if you put it in the C drive in a folder called android you would type
cd android
if you put it in a folder in a folder
as in the folder then in another folder in their called tools put
cd android/tools
then when you are where your fastboot stuff is type
fastboot oem lock

I have the first "official" ICS leak from back in March - no root or S-off just the leak which was loaded from a microSd card. Do I need to downgrade back to GB or simply wait until the update gets pushed to me? My phone currently says there are no software updates available.

Can all this be done on any ics based Rom* for instance I'm using the viperRez Rom with s-on.. would all I have to do flash stock recovery<relock bootloader<apply PH98IMG for update<re-unlock<and flash back to amonRa? Will I lose root or data? Would I be able to flash back to my current Rom

    I finally got root on my ICS Rezound.:D I made a quick guide for anyone still stuck (feel free to add to OP Ashton) It's a really super-noob guide with a lot of steps so it should work for everyone!

    For those who need help rooting after downloading the ICS OTA:
    Step 1: Flash Amon Ra recovery onto your phone
    Step 2: add this file to the ROOT of your external SD Card: http://www.sendspace.com/file/biqzgw
    Step 3: Turn off your phone, pull battery, put back in battery, BUT DO NOT TURN BACK ON and look at step 5
    Step 5: Hold down the volume down button + the power button at same time and hold it until the bootloader pops up.
    Step 6. Use the volume down button to go to "recovery" (it should be highlighted blue if selected) and hit the power button. You should now be in Amon ra recovery
    Step 7: Use the Volume buttons to move the selector up or down and go down to "Flash zip menu" and hit the power button to select it.
    Step 8: Next go down and select "Choose zip from sdcard" and select it by hitting the power buttton again/
    Step 9: Now you should find the file for the root here (normally at the very bottom, just remember what you named it) and scroll to it and hit power. It will ask to confirm by hitting the power button again so do so.
    Step 10: It will now install, however, If it fails just try to install again until it says it was successful. (It took me 2 tries)
    Step 11: Select the return option to return to the main Amon Ra page and select "Reboot system now"
    Step 12: While your phone is booting up, put the back cover on if you have not yet done so as it is needed for the next part.
    Step 13: Go to the Google Play store, and download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nstaller&hl=en
    Step 14: Open the installer (and superuser might request permission, if it does, click ALLOW) and at the bottom it should say something like "Install". Click this!
    Step 15: Once it says it is successful with the installation, go back to the Play store and find the superuser app.
    Step 16: Update Superuser and then open it. (Allow superuser permissions again if asked) and scroll the the "info" page which is to the left of the main apps page
    Step 17: under su bunary vx.x.x hit the "Tap to check for updates" option.
    Step 18: Hit update
    Step 19: YOU ARE ROOTED
    Step 20: You may uninstall the busybox installer and install any root applications for your leisure!
    Step 21: Thanks this post if it helped:)
