It says from: Image version: 1.14.652.0 to image version :1.13.654.2... are you sure this update is right?

That's the build level (mainver) of the OTA, so apparently you've already installed that.

You will need to unlock again and follow the procedure for S-ON users in this post to be able to run the RUU.exe.

Did you flash the setmainverlow.zip successfully?

If so, issue the following command to verify that:

fastboot getvar mainver

Then post the response to that command here.

You should remove/replace the battery and restart the bootloader before doing that.

can i Just unroot and install directly from my phone then root again without installing a custom rom? This is getting on my last neuron... I just want to go back to stock and apply the update!

What did the "fastboot getvar mainver" command show? We really need that information.

If you successfully flashed the setmainverlow.zip you could flash the .zip version of the RUU from the bootloader, but that won't work as long as your mainver is the OTA version. The same checks are performed as flashing from Windows, it's just another way to do it.

1.14.652.0 that's it!
 
It would probably be much better to continue with the s-off, then you can apply any update you wish by yourself, simply by putting the update on your SD card.

I don't think that's going to work at this point unless he unlocks his bootloader again and if he can do that and flash the setmainverlow.zip the RUU should flash OK. There's no need to go all the way through the wire trick if he wants to go back to 100% stock.

That mainver is still the one for the OTA and you are going to have to unlock the bootloader again either way to flash the setmainverlow.zip or try the wire trick to get S-OFF.

I unlocked my bootloader! so now I just flash the setmainverlow.zip from recovery? and then I update from system settings?

Flash the setmainverlow.zip in recovery just like a ROM and then run the "fastboot getvar mainver" command again. If it shows as "1.00.000.0" you should be able to relock the bootloader again and run the RUU.exe successfully from Windows.

Things got complicated because it wasn't clear in the beginning that you had already flashed the OTA.

I said in post #17 that you need to run the RUU before downloading and installing the OTA or things would get more complicated, but you didn't mention that you had already done that.

If you followed those instructions exactly you would have flashed the stock RUU before doing the wire trick.

Just saying.

As overbyter suggested, it's fine to run the OTA now to update to the current level since you can unlock, root and S-OFF with it installed if you decide to do that later. If fact, I recommend that since the current firmware fixes some radio reception and texting issues.

Glad it worked out for you. ;)
