Please help Alpharev not working for me.
here my phone detail-
Model- HTC incredible S
Bootloader- 1.13.0000
Brand- htc_asia_india
kernal- 2.6.35.9-g529446e
Baseband- 20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M
BUILD NUMBER- 2.12.720.5 CL37872 release-keys
Software number- 2.12.720.5
Android version- 2.3.3
I tried every thing for s-off, always getting error- Root failed. Press anykey for exit.
Alpharev is not working for me , Please help me.
I followed these steps mentioned here--
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-s-off-htc-incredible-s-alpharev-hack-tool/
Hope anyone help me out..
I easily got s-off on my HTC desire S..
(For Example, on some Indian/Asian HTC Incredible S phones, this tool would get stuck here and the process won’t start. They need to install Optus RUU first in order to make this tool run — I’ve done the same, actually, on my Indian Incredible S. So, if it gets stuck, maybe, there is a problem with your phone then — better Google it. Good luck!).

There's your problem. You need to create a Goldcard and flash an RUU that's compatible with AlphaRevX and then try again.
from Revolutionary
Optus RUU 2.12.980.2 / Virgin RUU 2.12.981.2 .. Most Incredible S ROM versions with Gingerbread have been patched. If your Gingerbread version is lower than 2.12.980.2, then use the Optus/Virgin RUU with a goldcard to upgrade to Optus RUU 2.12.980.2 / Virgin RUU 2.12.981.2, then you can use Revolutionary. .. Versions higher than 2.12.980.2 will have to wait until
a new temproot is released. Known patched versions lower are: 2.12.720.5 and 2.12.774.6 and probably all 2.12.7*.*

Special thanks to JohnAnderton on this info :
If AlphaRevX isn't working for you (kept "hanging" at Step 2 i.e. attempting to get root). This was because AlphaRevX doesn't work with certain carrier variants are GingerBreak patched
It didn't work for me on the India/Asia version.
To check your software version, go to settings > about > software version > build version. If it says 2.12.720.5, I'm sorry but you'll have to do the Optus/Virgin AU ROM installation.
Here are the steps to do that:
1) Download the Optus ROM (261 MB)
2) create a gold card
3) run the ROM installer and wait for it to extract, go to your tmp folder (start > run > %tmp% > sort by date > see newest folder > dig in deep and find rom.zip)
4) take rom.zip and put it on your SD with the name PG32IMG.zip
5) Reboot your phone into boot loader (this can be done by switching your phone off, waiting 5 seconds, turning your phone on with the volume down pressed). It will see that you have PG35IMG.zip so it will verify and install it. It will come to the boot loader again and once it's done installing it will load the OS (the regular HTC white page followed by Optus' logo. Once you're in the OS, remove PG32IMG.zip

theres a new update with revolutionary and you can now s-off the htc inc s with gingerbread.
it took me 3 mins to s-off
Ok. Let me clear this out (once again).
AlphaRevX does not work on all versions. Versions known not to work at include the stock OTA GB upgrade that Indians (such as myself) got and 2.30.xx and some versions above.
Why doesn't AlphaRevX work everywhere? Because HTC patched the temp root exploit gingerbreak used (AlphaRevX uses gingerbreak in step 2).
Use Revoluionary. It uses a different temp root method and for now, works on all (as far as I know) versions of HTC Inc S.
http://revolutionary.io
How do you use it? The same way you always used AlphaRevX?
Want a tutorial.. you really should use search but meh, here you go..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137008
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14924283&postcount=83
And if you would have looked decently well, you would have found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14865832&postcount=32 which clearly states that AlphaRevX doesn't work on the Indian GB ROM (I know cause I was there on Day 1 of AlphaRevX going public). That post always gives a solution..
Anything else?
Yay, someone quoted me.. Thanks NikonElite
Hello everyone, this is my first post at XDA Devs. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this since there are lots and lots of infos in these forums.
However, although I have been reading for hours and keept on trying, I haven't been able to S-OFF my Incredible S. I hope someone can tell me what to focus on or what I might have missed.

John, you say this, but I am pretty positive that it somehow doesn't work on my phone.
Here's my situation:
I have a Windows 7 x64 system and a HTC Incredible S S710e phone with Android 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1 and the Software number is 2.30.405.1.
I live in Germany and that's where I bought my phone so I assume it has the European shipping ROM running.
I downloaded the Revolutionary tool from http://revolutionary.io/ and generated a beta-key. I disabled fast boot, enabled debugging, rebooted the phone and went into airplane mode. Still - the patch won't work. It's not like with all the other users that it gets stuck after a few minutes. It tells me "failed to get root " right after a few seconds. I tried this at least 25 times now in different combinations with AntiVir on and off, with airplane mode on and off, with Disk Drive mode and Charge Only mode. Always with the same "failed to get root" result.
So I found another solution: the GoldCard. That's what I did. I got a fresh SD Card, formatted it into FAT32. I created a goldcard image with my reversed CID via http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and used the Hex-Editor to modify the values. I downloaded the Optus ROM [RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Optus_AU_2.12.980.2_R_Radio _20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185028_s igned] from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 but the HBOOT loader told me "Update failed - Main Version is older" or something like that.
In another thread, someone said I had to install the same or a newer software version of what I have. So I installed the same: 2.30.405.1. No error message, the Update was successful. But: the phone is still in S-ON. Well, it wasn't the Optus ROM after all...
My question is: which ROM do I have to install via GoldCard so that I can get S-OFF - either instantly or after then applying Revolutionary?
I'm very sorry if there is already the solution for this somewhere here but I used the search function genuinely and never found it. I'm not a forum noob - just to this one.
I have read these threads and guides:

Version 2.30.405.1 has been succesfully S-Off'd using Revolutionary. Did you also download and install the HTC Windows drivers from the Revolutionary documentation page?.
No, I have not.
I always read I had to install the latest version of HTC sync to get the drivers and then de-install the Sync program. But I didn't try any Revolutionary drivers yet.
Thank you for that tip, I will try tomorrow and give feedback.

to me it is the same, I bought my HTC Incredible S (s700e) on amazon and it came with unlocked and updated version gingerbread asian rom.
(RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.12.707.5_Radio_20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_190036_signed).
I did the gold card and put the rom of Korea.
(RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.21.1010.4_Radio_20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_194748_signed).
and now I can replace the rom that I had, says error [140]: error bootloader version, I wanted to put in s-off but I can not my phone is anchored to the korea rom that is not someone to make this happen?
Okay, I can't believe it just went so fast.
It turned out I had already downloded and used the drivers given in the revolutionary documentation. [can't put links here, I'm too fresh for this forum]
I tried it again with those but it didn't work. While I was re-reading the documentation, I noticed that a newer version of the revolutionary tool has been published since I first downloaded and tried it so many times.
My first version 0.3pre7 couldn't do it but the now available version 0.4pre4 did the trick!! My phone is now S-OFF!
It was so simple this time. Used the drivers mentioned above, downloaded the 0.4pre4 revolutionary and generated the beta key. Started the phone with enabled debugging, disabled fastboot and went into airplane mode. I deactiveted Windows Firewall and AVG AntiVir on my Win7 x64 PC. I started the tool, waited for 3 minutes for the phone to reboot a few times and after the success it even installed the clockmod recovery thingy.
Great work, AlphaRev and unrevoked. I will donate!!
Thank you also tpbklake for making me aware of the documentation again.

Go to the site http://revolutionary.io and read their documentation page completely. Install the appropriate drivers and then download the most current version and get a new beta key. Your HBOOT can be S-OFF using Revolutionary, you just need to follow the instructions completely.
install the latest htc sync and uninstall the htc sync alone keeping the drivers...now try the revolutionary step again..

In ur case revolutionary s-off works 100%
tested my self
Hello all...
I recently got an HTC One and decided to root it but now I am unable to get the 4.2.2 update.
Ive tried to find a way to revert back to stock but so far no luck.
I've only been able to get it back via a factory reset but the Team Win Recovery Project
and bootloader is still present and halts the 4.2.2 update.
phone details are...
Android version : 4.1.2
HTC Sense Version : 5.0
Software Version : 1.29.206.16 CL175272
HTC SDK API Level : 5.12
baseband 4a.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L
CID is o2__001
Is there an RUU I can use to revert it back to stock?
Ive looked around but couldn't find an appropriate RUU
Only thing I have found is the OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_O2_UK_1.29.206.11-1.27.206.1_P_release_315484
Would using this in TWRP get me back to stock so I can get the 4.2.2 update?
ANY help would be hugely appreciated!!!

I don't know if this would work but...
I have a nandroid backup of my O2 UK One.
This was taken prior to upgrading via OTA to 4.2.2.
Upgrading to 4.2.2 meant my hboot became 1.54.
I now find that if I restore my backup that the touchscreen is completely unresponsive - as far as I can tell because of the hboot upgrade - as any 4.2.2 roms work fine - and a nandroid for O2_002 (Germany) which was prior to 4.2.2 exhibited the same behaviour.
What I'm suggesting is, if you haven't yet upgraded to 4.2.2 yet - then you may be able to use my backup to restore your phone to a state ready to receive the OTA and upgrade to 4.2.2.
Yup - I'm not too sure it would work either! WE could both do with someone with a little more experience to advise us here!
However - I'm willing to provide the backup - but I would ask one favour.
If it works - please, please, make a nandroid backup of the completed update (i.e. O2_001 4.2.2) and let me (and probably quite a few people here) get their hands on it!
As you've probably noticed - O2 variants are not well catered for either here - or indeed anywhere on the net.
If you want to give it a try PM me - and I'll provide a link so you download it and try it out.
hmmm

Well I'm back on O2 (thanks for that Gandalf) instead of the Euro ROM+SuperSID I was using before but still can't get it to update to 4.2.2
Just can't seem to get back the stock bootloader..
even when unrooted, locked(relocked)
played about with various recovery.img like has been suggested, no joy
Is there a way to manually update?
I'm absolute newbie at all this hehehe

You need to be unlocked to flash recovery.
The image supplied contains the original stock recovery.
ADB fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also - probably flash the boot image
ADB fastboot flash boot boot.img
Relock - OTAs require that.
Also - have you reverted to your original CID?
Keep trying!
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Now I've woken up!
1) Make sure you're unlocked and S-Off
2) Change your CID to O2___001 ( that's 3x "_") - fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx
3) Extract boot.img and recovery.img from backup provided.
4) Place these files in the folder on your PC containing your fastboot file.
5) Connect the phone in fastboot usb mode
6) fastboot flash boot boot.img
7) Restart in recovery mode
7a) Personally I'd wipe everything here - data cache etc.
8) Restore backup
9) Restart to bootloader usb mode
10) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11) fastboot flash oem lock
12) Reboot
You should now hopefully have an HTC One running 4.2.1 with a locked bootloader and the correct CID - OTA should work now.
If anyone reading this knows different or can point out any mistakes or best practises please do so!
well no joy so far
Given up on going back to stock at the moment, having too much fun with modded roms etc.
Tried multiple ways to get back to stock recovery and the strange thing is I can flash between various recover.img/boot.img and swap between the clockworkmod and TWRP but the stock recovery.img seems to not over write during the flash.
Each time it reverts back to the custom recovery with the
"entering recovery... this build is for development...
(I put the superCID back to default but would it be because it detects the S-off ?
from what I've read I didn't think that would matter tbh)
BUT..
I can now swap between the various custom ROMS/Nandroid backups with ease using clockworkmod, Rom manager and CWM Backup manager.
fun times!!!
From what ive learnt, 4.2.2 has a different method of saving backups to a hidden file that hasn't been showing up when ive tried to transfer the back-up to my computer. Even CWM backup manager has failed to pull the hidden backup across and show it as a visual file in pc that I can transfer across..
Maybe this is because of the lack of dev options in the Android Revolution HD-One 2.0 GE ??
and having to just use the HTC One as a "Media device MTP" rather than the usb with debugging ??
(or am i just missing something here?)
But.. have found Android Commander for the pc which has helped a lot with this
and now I'm learning a bit more about the file structuring in Android..
Anyway onwards, upwards and outwards ..
just scraping the surface of the Android os so far...

As I understand it the "dev purposes only" is because you don't have a signed boot.img.
The boot.img I supplied with the backup should be signed - did you copy it from the backup and place in your adb folder to flash prior to restoring the backup? Though, saying that, I thought if you were s-off that the boot.img would be restored as part of the backup. I'm at a loss as to why it doesn't work.
Likewise with the recovery.img.
As regards backup - try reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34116836 or alternatively use 6.0.3.1 as that older version allows for transfer/restore to/from external sd card via OTG cable - slowly tedious but it works.
Ah well - have fun - I'll have to wait until the devs fix revone to allow s-off with 1.54 so I can revert my hboot and restore my backup in order to achieve stock O2 rom and OTA .

You're welcome.
The reason I want to be able to restore to pure stock is to cover my ass if the phone ever needs to be returned under warranty.
Because of the 1.54 hboot update a lot of people are frustrated because they can't s-off and choose what they wish to do with their phone.
Fortunately - as I still have that nandroid I'll be able to downgrade my hboot, s-off and restore back to prior OTA - as soon as revone is updated.
Guys a little help here as well
I am lost tbh I have android version 4.1.2 software no. 1.29.206.16...bought it from O2 UK. I feel so helpless cz I am new with this stuff and I have no clue how to remove the stupid TWRP thing and unroot my htc one and update it to 4.2.2. Can any one pleasee tell me how to do it...as step by step guide please :'(

Hi,
which recovery did you use to root your htc one O2?
if u used CWM, then what type? i mean did you downloaded CWM for htc one ( International)?
Gandalf, do you have the back up file still? I would be very grateful if I could have a copy.

Hi,
I have an O2 HTC One. CID is 002 I think. I have S-On at the moment, but I am in the process of trying to get S-Off so that I can remove the ***Tampered*** and relocked signs.
I dropped the damn thing down the toilet and need to send it in for repair so I just wanted to make sure they dont get funny about repairing it when I have installed custom rom, because the reason for me sending it back is not due to that!
I have been searching the forums a bit and have found a nandroid backup of O2 rom, so will try that. The Android Rev 51 rom I have at the moment will not let me gain S-Off with rumrunner - always gives me an error. Going to try stock and see what happens.

Follow my guide to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
you can use:
Code:
nandroid [B]O2___102 1.27.206.1[/B]: ro.aa.modelid=PN0710000
ro.aa.cidlist=O2___001,O2___102
if it matches your "fastboot getvar all" (MID & CID)

I checked your guide and gained S-OFF with firewater, much quicker and smoother and more importantly, actually successful as opposed to rumrunner!
One more question, the downloads for the backups are fairly slow and Im halfway done downloading M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID O2 102 3.62.206.1.
Is this version just an updated one vs the 1.27.206.1 2013-03-30 ?
Which should I use?
Thanks
I have searched to forums under HTC one and cant find the info I am looking for. I want to upgrade my phone to latest ATT firmware that is available(or latest recommended file to use). How do I go about the process. I updated my radio to 4A.17.3250.20 my software version is still 1.26.502.12 Am i supposed to flash the corresponding RUU, if so will this flash a new hboot. I am s-off revone and latest TWRP installed. ATT HTC One Black 64gb. Thanks.
If I take the OTA update from ATT for the latest firmware will this replace my currant hboot and custom recovery, I dont want to loose s-off. I am coming from sprint htc phones and am not sure if the update process for firmware updates is the same, on sprint I could just bootloader flash lates firmware file. Would this be the same process for ATT version htc phones.

If you already are s-off, you will remain s-off after upgrading to latest firmware.

You should be fine as long as your MID/CID weren't changed. Then you would need to change it back to whatever it was originally. Just don't switch to S-On.. you may not be able to get S-Off again

Thanks for the info guys, i am s-off stock ROM that came with the phone when i got it. I did not mess with CID just yet. I did have to revert back to htc stock recovery, update did not start up with TWRP.
problem with update
Okay, I took the OTA from ATT witch was around 225mb, it had a boot loop after install. When phone booted up an error said that update had problem and did not update correctly and I should wait for another update. My software number did change from 1.26.502.12 to .15 My WiFi will not turn one and camera app comes up for a second and vanishes from screen. I tried scanning for new update, says phone updated. How should i proceed now. Thanks for any pointers.

You're s-off, you can install anything. Just flash the latest firmware from the firmware thread, then whatever rom you want. If you wait for AT&T, you won't see 4.3 until 2014.
Hi,
First of all, accept my apologies in advance if i sound a complete NOOB, cuz really I am. Im just looking for some help regarding the know-how of the phone I just bought.
We dont get locked phones in my country ( and by locked I mean like as u say these At&T and verizone or Sprint etc locked). I bought a silver HTC One and have been using it all fine and easy until I saw this blue HTC one( a used one) SO I exchanged my phone and now I have this blue HTC one...
The info from the software information is:
Android Version - 4.2.2
Sense - 5.0
Software number - 2.24.401.8
HTC SDK API level - 5.34
Kernel version - 3.4.1 - g28df0d6 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Build number - 2.24.401.8 CL235216 release-keys
(guess thats all there is to tell)
But apparently it is not working as it should. And by that I mean I tried hard resetting it and a weird screen came on...
it goes like this ....
TAMPERED ... and so on... and then there were other options like to Fastboot, factory reset etc that I could select from the volume keys..
So i got afraid that things are a little bit more technical than I can handle so i dint reset it.
- Now, the thing is I want to know that if my phone is unlocked than what carrier it originally was - whether resetting will lock me to that carrier or not?
- Apparently my phone was rooted ( dont know for sure, although I downloaded the root checker from play store and it says that I have root access ) SO why was it rooted in the first place. CAN it be that by rooting, my phone was unlocked from the carrier?
- IF i want to return to stock, how can I do that?
- Will returning to stock render my phone useless?
- Im upgrading to And 4.3.. but is it safe to do that with the state of my phone...?
By now, Im sounding like a complete BUM even to myself... so... but I really need help...
Unlocked network is not the same as unlocked bootlooter. Rooting will do nothing with the network lock (although there are some apps that can network unlock using root).
As for the screen you saw, that's the recovery screen which is acces via power + vol up, that's normal and is where you can reset your phone. "TAMPERED" means that the bootloader was unlocked before (to allow ROM flashing) but has been relocked to try make it stock again. I guess that means you bought it second hand?
Follow this guide if you wish to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738. Make sure to take note of your CID, which you can see at the top of the recovery screen or using CID getter, and getting the RUU that matches it.
Once you followed that guide you should have a completely stock device that's got a locked bootloader, S-On and without the TAMPERED flag (so HTC does not know it's been rooted) with the stock firmware. Then just boot into the phone, set it up, and check for updates in the settings and it will upgrade to the latest version for your CID (either 4.3 or 4.4).
Ok, according to the CID getter, my CID is HTC_001, so now,
I go find the RUU for the HTC_001 and then do all that what was said above. I wanted to ask one thing before doing anything.. I bought this phone second hand.. Yes.. how can i tell that whether its and international version or an unlocked version for some network. It has no tell-tale logos of any network on it. Is there any sure shot way of telling which one is it?
Here is the info from the TAMPERED screen.. just thought about posting it so that if could further help in anyway..

*** RELOCKED ***

CID tells you if it's been locked down to a carrier. HTC__001 (two _) is the unlocked UK version. So it's never been locked to a network, and I guess the previous owner just wanted to play around with cutsom ROMs.
I have managed to S-off my phone and downloaded the files required.. Im not sure about one thing.. is the kernel on my phone a stock one or what?
I have this Kernel version - 3.4.1 - g28df0d6 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT

You need the 1.28.401.7 ruu.exe from here http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
but you will need to downgrade hboot to 1.44 before.
Now.. DO I REALLY NEED TO REVERT BACK TO STOCK?
I mean, i just found mod (maximus HD) inside my phone and flashed that using cwm.
I have no problems so far and I do not have to send the phone back for warranty or anything, so do i really need to get back to stock? Cuz i think for that my expertise are lacking atm. I just wanted to update to the latest android... but figure i can do that using the same method i did for the maximus rom... no?
Any thoughts?

its up to you, if you don't have to send the device for repair then its not needed to revert back to stock and you can use your phone with the custom rom if you like it.
Hey, a quick question...
Will wiping the phone before flashing a custom ROM wipe my recovery image too? Im using TWRP. And just before hitting wipe, i thought what if this wipes my twrp as well.. So, I stopped and rushed here... anyone?
Here is what i was gonna do.. I moved the ROM zip into the internal storage of my phone --- > went into the recovery (TWRP) using GOO app ---> was gonna do the wipe (here is where I stopped) ---- %% after the wipe, i was going to "Find in Recovery "Choose zip from sdcard" choose appropriate zip file" and then follow the Aroma installers instructions ----%% reboot.

Thanks man..
As long as I have access to this forum, I feel brave enough to continue messing around with my phone.

I have a UK Sim Free HTC One (M7), I have had a prompt to update to KitKat for quite a while but I put it off due to the removal of Flash.
I recently switched to Three and it seems they want the latest firmware installed to allow LTE/4G to function.
I went ahead with the update, clicking download but after a few seconds I cancelled the download to switch the data connection used, now since doing that no software update is available and I'm stuck on 4.3 - 3.62.401.1
I've tried the usual tricks of clearing Updater app cache to no avail. I contacted HTC support and they checked my IMEI and said their system was showing that my phone had the latest update installed, so something has gone awry somewhere. I asked if they could 'reset' the updated status of my phone on their system but they said the only way would be to send my phone in for repair.
My question is, can I install the update manually on a completely stock phone? Is there a progression of updates I would have to install i.e. 3.62.401.1 to 4.19.401.x then to the latest version? Would my data be kept intact updating OTA manually?
Any help would be appreciated.

as your on 401 you can justr flash the 401 ruu manually, it will revert you completely to stock if you've modified anything, don't know why HTC themselves couldn't tell you that or point you to it.
you may want to s-off your phone first if your into playing with custom rom's etc before you update, as you update, it gets harder to s-off, however, if you don't then just download the ruu and run it, once complete just continue to check for updates until there are no more.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
Just to clarify my understanding, the likes of OTA updates found here: htc1guru/downloads/ota-downloads/ would need to be installed incrementally, upgrading each newer version until you reach the newest as they each only patch the relevant files?
The RUU exe contains all the patches up until the latest 4.19.401.9 versions so, so the file is larger but does away with having to update each version separately, I can go from 3.62.401.1 directly to the latest version as a result.
Is my understanding above correct? If the RUU is patching as the OTA would rather than doing a fresh install, I should, in theory at least, keep all my data/settings/apps etc.. after updating?

no not exactly, you will have to patch each OTA one at a time in the correct order, however, if you are s-on, you cant manually install OTA's anyway, most of the time there is no RUU, your just lucky enough for the next update to be a full RUU which I linked above, although this RUU is on the Guru-Reset site, I suggest you use my link as that site is more reliable at the moment, guru-reset seems to be having a lot of problems with incomplete downloads.
That RUU I posted is the next one up and the only RUU available, everything else higher is just an OTA.
Not sure if you will keep your data and settings, I have a suspicious feeling that the RUU will wipe your entire phone, always best to backup first, get helium and backup to cloud from play store.
---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------
the RUU is 4.19.401.9
The next update is only a small one and takes you to: 4.19.401.11 you cannot skip this one and go straight to 5.xxxxxxx if that's what you mean.
the one after that is 5.11.401.10
the new one, not quite fully released yet is 6.06.401.xx
if you are s-on, you cannot back flash either, so for instance, if you upgrade to sense 6 and don't like it, your stuck with it unless you install a custom rom.

S-off is always useful as long as you know what you are doing, however, regardless, your next update, whether you do it manually on your computer, or you get the notification again and download it is a full RUU and cannot be skipped, s-off will only allow you to manually install OTA's, everything after the RUU is an OTA.

3.62.401.1 is an OTA
4.19.401.9 is a FULL RUU and cannot be skipped, it a sense and an android update

5.11.401.10 is an OTA was a sense only update
6.06.401.xx is an OTA will be an android only update.

you need to unlock your phone again and flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3, then push or sideload the zip file to your internal storage and install it.
