i know this is a dumb question but ill ask anyway..... flashing hBoot 1.50.0000 will kill s-off, correct?

*Shouldn't* but it may cause other headaches down the road, such as being unable to be downgrade, etc. Possible bricking since we have no idea what HTC changed with their new "unlockable" bootloaders...

    Thanks to HTC we now have 2.3.4! This is the latest OTA update being pushed, the only things I have done to it is root and added busybox. If you are already using a stock ROM these can be flashed with only a Dalvik wipe. If you aren't sure what to use I am currently using the Odexed update zip, the Radio & PRI updates and the RPM update. The odexed ROM can be skipped if you are just wanting the Radio updates. Instructions on how to flash everything and what the difference between an Update and Firmware are can be found on Post #3.

    If you're not sure how to flash this Disturb3d1 has made a great video showing how to update.

    Update Zips
    These must be flashed through the Recovery.
    Note About Mods: Since this update is Android 2.3.4, while the old one was 2.3.3, all of the framework mods will need to be remade for this version. Using any of the old ones will cause issues and could make the ROM unstable.

    Firmware
    These must be flashed through fastboot/hboot.
    Rmk40 from the Sensation side has a thread containing info about the different partitions here. At the moment it looks like the radio, rcdata and RPM partitions are the only ones of use to us, but you should be fine if you decide to update everything else as well. Also, if you need an easy way to check MD5 sums you can find a windoze tool for it here(Thx riggsAndroid!).

    This is mainly for devs but it can also be used to restore your phone if needed. Flashing it will restore your phone to a completely stock state and will wipe everything!

    OK, so I'm on the OTA prior to this one (the latest as of yesterday) and I have s-off and am rooted. I want to stay stock + s-off + root but I want the goodies in the latest OTA, so which of these should I take? I just want to update the phone as if I had taken the OTA but keep root and s-off. It's not clear to me which files I should take and in which order from the OP. A simple instruction set like (1) wipe dalvik, (2) put PG...zip on the root, (3) reboot, etc. That'd help me a lot. There are so many files in the OP though that I don't know which I should fool with.

    OK, no takers so I'll answer myself. ;) Not my first rodeo as I about wore out my power and down buttons installing Deck ROM's on my Evo 4G. I took a closer look at the files in the OP and it became clearer since I've done this sort of thing many times. So... for anyone on stock rooted OTA who wants to just update, here's what I did. Note these instructions are for TWRP recovery. Works, s-off and root confirmed after the update:

    (1) Download Shooter_2.08.651.2_odexed_rooted-signed.zip and PG86IMG_2.08.651.2_firmware_nohboot.zip from OP.

    (2) Put Shooter_2.08.651.2_odexed_rooted-signed.zip on the SD card root.

    (3) Power down. Pull battery if you run fastboot.

    (4) Hold power and down volume to enter bootloader.

    (5) Select "Recovery" and then go to the "Wipe" menu and wipe the Dalvik Cache.

    (6) Back to the main Recovery menu and choose the option to install a ZIP.

    (6) Select Shooter_2.08.651.2_odexed_rooted-signed.zip from the list of files and then confirm.

    (7) BE PATIENT. It's a big file and you could see nothing happen for a few minutes.

    (8) Process should eventually complete. You can go back in the recovery menu and reboot. Once successfully rebooted, if you want to update the radios, PRI, etc., continue below.

    (9) To update the radios, PRI, etc., rename PG86IMG_2.08.651.2_firmware_nohboot.zip to PG86IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card.

    (10) Once again, use power and volume down to boot to the bootloader. This time, it should find PG86IMG.zip automatically and will prompt you to update. Say yes and let it go.

    (11) When the update is complete, choose the option to reboot.

    (12) Remember to remove the PG86IMG.zip file from the root.

    How-Tos - SteelH has posted a ton of info on how to modify the stock ROM and he is constantly adding new stuff, so check back often. If the link is bad search for all the threads started by steelh in the Evo 3D apps & theming section.
