I hate to sound like an idiot but I am a bit confused. I am currently rooted, S-OFF, running HBOOT 2.09, I have installed TWRP 2.4.1.0. I am on 3.15.651.16 and would like to upgrade to the latest OTA (3.16.651.3). I thought that once I was S-OFF and had the latest TWRP, I could simply take the OTA using (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770501) but when I take the OTA, the phone just reboots into the recovery. What exactly do I need to do in order to get the latest OTA installed?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you are indeed S-OFF there is no need to take the OTA you can just flash the needed files in bootloader

Thank you.
DirtyRacun. I am S-OFF. I just wasn't sure how to proceed. So I just take the "Full" Firmware from files from captain throwback and flash them. Do I need the TP image or boot img?

Full Firmware is all you need unless you are going to run a 3.16 based rom. Once more roms get updated to 3.16 you will need the TP image

I have a question that is just slightly different. I am rooted, S-off at 3.15.651.710RD, Hboot 2.09.4444 (DirtyRacun's Hboot), radio 1.12.11.1119. I am looking into upgrading to 3.16.651.3. As I understand it I should update my firmware before flashing the ROM. My baseband is older than the present one as well as the PRI, BUT...the PRL (Preferred Roaming List?) is newer. I hoping that it won't matter as I know I can update the PRL via OTA at anytime but want to make absolutely sure I'm not going to screw this up by taking anything back to a previous version. Am I okay to flash the firmware in this instance?
update: Sorry I should have been more specific. I have baseband 1.12.11.1119, PRI 2.87_003 and PRL 25012. Looking to install the firmware that says it will give me baseband 1.12.11.1210, PRI 2.97_003, and PRL 24010. I noticed the PRL version is lower than the present version on my phone.
2-18-13 update: I went ahead and did the frmware update and upgraded the ROM to 3.16.651.3. From what I had been reading, I reasoned that the baseband (radio) was the one true thing I had to worry about. Everything worked like a charm. I'm actually kinda glad I decided not to wait for a reply as it gave me a bit more confidence to do what I basically thought was correct all along but was too timid to act on. Thanks again and I gave you a "thanks" button regardless.

Sorry in advance. This is more of a confirmation than a question. Anyways, a friend and I have been in discussion about updating hboot. Now I'm s-off with hboot 1.19 and all I did was update to the latest radios. I'm more inclined to believe that that's all I need to do. My friend on the other hand says I should take the OTA or run the latest RUU, get everything including the hboot, then unlock the phone again and continue as normal. His reasoning is because he claims that the phone works better with the latest everything rather than just the radios. Is there any validity to his argument or should I just ignore him.

I'm on hboot 1.12 s-off I just flash the updated firmware when it becomes available my phone works flawlessly. As long as you are running the DR hboot 1.19 you are good to go
I'm not an expert but what I do know is you NEVER want to take an ota if you're rooted. Also upgrading to the newest h-boot is only asking for trouble. Who knows what HTC has up their sleeve. You don't to end up getting burnt. I am on .19 and have the latest radios and firmware and all is working perfectly.

If you have s-off, you don't need to unlock. You can flash things through the bootloader. What are you trying to do? Recovery? Update firmware? Once you're s-off through Lazypanda or Dirty Racun you keep s-off.

That should be all you need to do. Be careful with firmware though. Make sure to do it in order. Flashing straight to the newest one has been causing bricks.

No. Roms don't include radios or any other firmware. You'd have to relock and RUU to get the radios. And if you want the 3.16 radio you'd have to take the OTA.

Since you relocked, I'm assuming you know how to use fastboot. Go to here and download the RUU 3.15.651.16 - HBOOT 2.09 from the right. This will give you an RUU.zip. Throw that in your fastboot folder on the pc and follow step 8 and 9. This will run the RUU and put you in 3.15 Stock.

If you take the 3.16 OTA, only the newest version of TWRP (2.4.1.0) will work. And the only roms you'll be able to use are those that use 3.16 as a base. Any other base and the touchscreen might not work.

That's the radio for 3.16. It's the latest.

You can not flash any rom that is not based on 3.16. You are s-on and have the latest update which included a touch panel driver update that is incompatible with any rom that is not based on the newest software. TWRP was updated to support this new driver that is why your recovery works. Only options for you are to run a rom based on 3.16 or go s-off and downgrade the touch panel software.

Ok, so I'm in the same boat. If i knew better I would have tried to s-off from the get go. Now I cant use CM10.1 and I'm stuck on Meanbean @ 3.16.651.3.
My question is how do you downgrade without "soft-bricking" the phone so I can go s-off? DirtyRacun cant s-off 3.16.65.3 but it can do .16. I'm just trying to go S-off to avoid all this BS. hahaha

I'm just learning that there is a new OTA. Whatever the case, I have not received it yet but am curious as to how I should handle it. This phone still confuses me a bit when it comes to unlocking etc.
Currently I am S-On, Rooted and running Shrike's PAC-Man rom. I kinda been lazy about staying up to date with everything and just got in my routine of flashing new releases.
Now i'm reading about this update and new hboot versions and wondering what I should be doing now. Should I accept the update in my current status or should I be doing something else to update? What about my hboot version, i'm still at 2.25. Should I be updating that myself or just take the OTA to handle it. My apologies if this is a redundant question.

First, the updated wont be pushed to you because you aren't on a sense rom, and i think the AOSP has the OTAkill.apk but i would need to look for it.
Second, the update is a good thing. not only does it have a new hboot but it has new radios, firmware and other goodies for the phone.
if you were to do the update, i wouldnt wait for VZW to push it. there is a zip that is in the development forum that you may flash to get the benefits of the update.
if you go down this route it will make the phone 100% stock. You would have to do the dev unlock with token and flash a recovery to get back to root status.
if you were to do this you also need to back up internal sd card just in case.
EDIT: Here are the steps you would take if you wanted to update the phone.

You can be S-OFF and still get the OTA, you just have to be pure stock, or you can flash the files in the thread which Flyhalf posted below.
On my last Rezound, I flashed the updated hboot and radios while already S-OFF, rooted and running Nils' ROM. On my current ROM, I got the OTA downloaded while still pure stock, then unlocked bootloader, flashed Amon Ra, rooted, then got S-OFF. Obviously, if there are any subsequent OTA's, I'll have to wait for a flashable.

That was from the Global Leak. But the zip will just update firmware such as hboot and radio and few other stuff
I'm s-off. If I flash the latest RUU (whatever it is), then get the new global OTA update, I will retain my s-off-ness, correct? I'll just have to re-root and flash a recovery?

No zip file of any kind will get you back to s-on. you must use fastboot to write to the secure flag. FYI
