With stock roms you don't have any paid apps issues. On OTA 4.3 neither, it's fine. By the way, tr1gg3r84 solves the kernel problem in his R4 rom.
[TUTORIAL] S-Off & Update to Android 4.3
- Thread starter MirageBlader
- Start date
never succeed
I come to try this method with these:
1. Stock ROM 1.25.708
2. Unlocked bootloader (htc-dev method)
3. Fash TWRP Recovery
4. S-on
5. CID other than 11111111
6. Rooted
Then with your guide i did:
1. S-off
2. SuperCID
3. Relock bootloader (avoiding bootloop)
4. Restore Stock ROM (in OP) --> never prompted about supersu. SuperSU always there (i think this caused the problem that i tell you later)
5. Download OTA
6. Restore stock recovery
7. Install OTA --> device refused to install. It told me that my rom is a custom rom so it can't be updated
What's wrong?

Yep, you have root that's the problem. Make a factory reset and restore from my backup with twrp recovery, download ota, restore stock recovery and it should work

it worked! thanks a lot! one question though how come it restoring the nandroid backup worked, but when we were doing it on our own, it wasnt working?
Thx mate, I really appreciate your work. I learn much from you.Yep, you have root that's the problem. Make a factory reset and restore from my backup with twrp recovery, download ota, restore stock recovery and it should work

Yes, this is the most easy way and I did it last night after many times failing when trying to get the OTA
Thanks, nice to hear that you got it

I have this, when my phone boot up. Works well, but I think the kernel is bad, and I don't have any new app in play store like Real Racing 3, GTA etc. Any ideas?

My idea is root again, flash some custom rom with custom kernel. And after that doing whole proces again, maybe I try this after christmas.
I have exactly the same problem! I did what you recommend and still I cannot get the OTA to work. I am also missing Flashligh and Calculator from the apps. I also cannot get rid of root even flashing your backup it is still there. I have wiped everything (cache, system, data) and I still have root! I am also missing the contents of /data (they are gone since htcdev unlock). Whatever I do, I get "Variant system version" saying my device is modifyied.Yep, you have root that's the problem.

I have that modified thing to its annoying as hell but I can't remember exactly what I did but I had managed to get s-off root supercid and all that with the missing apps intact without the warnings, but messed up by locking boot loader with twrp when trying to remove tampered flag so had to undo everything I did -_-

I am not sure that the problem is in the missing apps. Because if you follow the guide in this thread you will end up without them. Other people have been able to update without any issues. So the problem is someplace else. Either way in order this to be resolved, we need a full backup of a clean device or RUU. The backup is impossible to get because for obvious reasons.
If someone can help I will be very happy
Hi Everyone,
I followed the instructions and my device is s-off, tempered flag removed and then I locked the bootloader. However, before I locked it, I continued with instructions all the way to get the OTA. That didn't work, so I locked it and tried again. With that said...
I'm having the same issue, can't get the OTA to download. At the end of the download I get the modified variant message and that's it. As previously mentioned, the backup restore doesn't remove the root and SU. I wiped clean every time before restore. So, I decided to unroot, now the SU app is gone, back to recovery, wipe and restore. Before reboot, TWRP is asking now if I want to install root, I do not... Reboot, connect to Wi-Fi... system update download starts... And... same thing. The same modified os message pops up.
Any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.
I know I can flash the rooted 4.3. However, does the official 4.3 update will also update the bootloader and modem/radio version?
Thank you for your help! This guide has been really great.

Maybe I dont understand all this. But will this unroot and look my bootloader?
Im a n00b, sorry about that. But I have a mini with some cracks, and want to sent it in to service but then I need to unroot and lock my bootloader or something so my warranty stands?

Should Not. But for everyone whos getting trouble, after you have s-off you can restore your device with The at&t ruu to have a clean Base for The Rest of The guide

One thing we really need is stock rom without rooted kernel, because officialy RUU is not coming quickly(as I spoken with HTC DEV Team).
But the way, the restore backup (1.22) does have a root injected. That's why SU isn't gone after restore.

I had the exact same problem and now it really is a nightmare for me. I even did a swipe and completely cleaned everything (even the OS) and pushed the nandroid back in recovery mode using adb push. TWRP did ask me if I want to root my phone, i said NO. But everything was totally USELESS. Every time my phone is restored, there is a freakin supper SU app preinstalled right there which means my phone is rooted and I am always told that my OS is modified so I cannot update !!! HELP ME!!
( I don't know what to do....Another question I have is that I see there is another system dump version posted by tr1gg3r84 but I'm not sure how to use it!? I've tried zip/unzip and then use the install tab in TWRP to flash it but it failed every single time. Could someone please help me out? I'm totally desperate here
Sorry I'm kinda newbie. This is like the first time I am trying to hack my phone :">
