Hey guys,
So as the thread title states, I have a rooted DNA with an unlocked bootloader and now S-OFF. I'm wholly new to this whole "forcing" of an OTA upon me (by Verizon?)...so I don't know what the best course of action is. I've already flashed the radio from the OTA and I'm just waiting for an attractive custom ROM to come out before flashing one. In the meantime, what should I do? I saw this thread:
(Mod)[2.15.13] Stop/Remove Verizon OTA V2 2.04.605.2 710RD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149417)
Idk...I'll do it if I have to...it just seems a bit drastic in what it removes. Is there a safe way to update my firmware/kernel to that of the OTA while keeping my unlocked bootloader/root/s-off? I'm used to Nexus devices so this is all very strange to me...any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Would like to know what to do - I postponed my update to tomorrow, so if no one replies to this thread I am going to follow the other thread.

According to jcase beaups and Dr_drache and zifnab its OK to take the ota with s-off
And then I'm telling you to do it at your own risk
The OTA from what I've seen (and experienced) does not lock the bootloader and also shouldn't affect the s-off according to those guys

Yes, but I think you must be on stock rom and stock recovery. I'm on stock rom but not stock recovery. Can anyone confirm if the steps would be (for someone on stock rom, TWRP, rooted, unlocked, S-OFF):
1. Flash stock recovery
2. Update OTA
3. Flash back TWRP
Or do we need to unlock again between steps 2 and 3 or take any other steps? Or is there a flashable OTA zipped up that will update everything? I don't mind waiting by the way. Not in a huge hurry... Thanks in advance, you guys are awesome.

should work with stock recovery (you might need the stock kernel too not sure)
If you flash the whole OTA package you'll also need /system to be mostly stock, along with stock recovery and kernel.
Or, you could try what I did and download the OTA from the dev section, remove /system, /boot (kernel), and /recovery updates from it and flash the new zip from RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU). However, this is somewhat involved and not user friendly. Also, if you do this, when you flash it it usually says to "flush the update again", in which case you simply run the fastboot flash zip [file] again (it *might* result in a brick if not done correctly).
Better yet, chances are a dev will put together a firmware package which can be easily flashed with a guide on how to do it. If you aren't confident about flashing the firmware, its best to wait for something like this.
Hm...okay...if I just wait until the day I "deferred" the OTA until, will I be able to defer again (and again, and again, etc)? If so, I can just keep doing that until there's a safe way to flash either the update itself or a custom ROM that interests me.
I just want to add that this whole situation is absurd.

Go to the droid original dev thread and get the notification remover that justin (nitsuj) posted. Dl and flash it via recovery and you won't have to worry about deferring anymore.

I swear this type of question must be asked in every thread. Try SuperSu and do some research for upgrading and keeping root. Rooting has been around for a while and there are ways around this. Honestly though why do people root if they want to get factory updates. You do realize that a factory updated rooted version would be out before or shortly after an official release is out....
OTA update and a rooted phone is not a big deal... Jus sayin
To answer your question directly...if you have stock recovery then yes. If you have custom recovery then no.
search next time but...
stock rom with root yes you will get updates.
If you have a custom recovery it may not flash.
I flash the tmobile ota ( the .28 one) with clockworks and all was fine.
I have an HTC One M8 AT&T Branded but it has 4.4.2 on it and i wanna flash viperrom 3.2.1 but it requires androids 4.4.4 software. im S-ON, 3.16 Bootloader with 1.58.502.1 Software number. Baseband Version is 1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L. im just looking to Update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 but i cant seem to find out how. Any help would be great.
Perfect.
Unlock your bootlooader if you haven't already, fastboot flash recovery (TWRP/PHILZ),root using the chosen custom recovery,make a backup before or after root.
Go here http://theroot.ninja/ for Sunshine
S-OFF cause that's what your going to need to update as far as 4.4.4
Orrrr just wait a few days for the ATT 4.4.4 build to be released (ETA 29th) and then youll have 4.4.4 without having to do anything.

That's a better idea for sure.
I haven't noticed if Sunshine has an update that works with 4.4.4 yet.
Are you S-OFF ?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of S-OFF so the OP knows what he might be missing.
Do you know when the Sunshine update will be?
Yup,no [email protected],[email protected],there are plenty of posts about advantages and disadvantages...my point of view is simple,it is not needed for the novice,ive seen too many mess things due to lack of knowledge. My usage of it is for switching between att and developer ROM's to get latest updates. Outside of that I dont mess with conversions,to risky for a 6-700 device. My advice is stick to htc dev unlocked bootloader and wait for official update.

I didn't Google for to long but I haven't found concrete links that state the exact date .how many times have we been promised a date and watch it pass by anyways.
May I ask if you've modified any other device before this one?
I'm not trying to push,but S-OFF might be in your future and will not halt an OTA from installing.
The version your on is easily exploitable using "Sunshine" unless you take the soon to be 4.4.4 update.
Nobody knows when Sunshine will have an update even with the team working on it as we speak.
Wont be much on Google @date,came from somewhere else. And nothing is ever "concrete" with software,especially with carrier branded software.

I have Rooted, and flashed multiple ROMS to my old M7 before. Nothing crazy.
I as well have the same build, unlocked bootloader, flashed custom recovery. Will I have to return to stock recovery using 1.58.502.1 RUU and to get the OTA update to 4.4.4??
I'm trying to get the latest Android Revolution ROM for 4.4.4 but realized I was in a bit of a pickle. I'd like to take the path of least resistance on this one - any advice would be super appreciated. Thanks!

I'd say wait till tomorrow to see if an OTA update will roll out.
Or if you just can't wait for the ability to flash what you desire than I would go S-OFF and flash a non At&t firmware that you need to allow a smooth function of mentioned ROM.
Im restoring back to default AT&T ROM and such and will post weather the update has been pushed or not. i sure hope it has
**Update** Still no update, i got the " Current Software is up to date, You may check again in 23 Hours 59 Mintues.

You can check as many times as you like by setting your time manually ahead and your phone/device won't know the difference.
Check as many times as you like but it will remain the same,you should get a notification when it's time
So if you don't have s-off you can't update to 4.44 Sense ROMS with AT&T? I'm on Slim Rom and sound quality stinks. I want the new Android Revolution but i've read wi-fi and such doesn't work. Clarification plz?

Correct .
S-OFF allows you to change your CID witch will allow you to ruu Dev Edition 4.4.4 so everything runs smoothly
I've not looked on this thread in a while. I am S-off and unlocked and my cid is 11111111 but I have never updated firmware so that I can run a 4.4.4 rom. Is it correct that I flash a RUU (guess it's not called flashing when it comes to a RUU). How do I know which RUU to post - I found this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2757462 (http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2.exe)
Will I loose root or anything (other than wiping my data) when running the ruu.

I'll just say that if it's a stock ruu than it's most likely without root and it will wipe as if it came out of the box.if its a full ruu than it will come with the updated firmware as well witch should allow you to flash 4.4.4 Roms and still run smoothly.
What I did around 5:00am this morning was restore my Dev edition backup I had along with the stock recovery so I could take the Dev edition lollipop official update and now I have lollipop firmware to use with my stock GPE 5.0.1 lollipop ROM/backup .

Yes, running/flashing the 4.4.4 Dev Edition RUU will update you to that appropriate firmware. But, what you linked is not Dev Edition, its a stock AT&T RUU. And its not 4.4.4 either, its 4.4.2, which is probably where you already are.
What you want is the 3.28.1540 RUU linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
RUU will wipe the phone, install stock ROM (meaning root will be lost) and stock recovery.
But I also think its overkill to run an RUU just to update firmware, if that is the intent. My suggestion is to just run the firmware linked in the following post (which also has great instructions for doing so): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
The above method shouldn't overwrite the current ROM and user data. But backup anything important before flashing firmware, just in case.
Side note, "flash" is a fairly generic term, and as the RUU flashes stock ROM among other things, the term "flash" is appropriate IMO.
So can I just load the firmware file and flash thru fastboot? Is it This one?

Hi everyone, I'm Josh and I'm a long time reader of XDA. I'm really struggling with the next steps on my HTC one despite reading ton's of information on XDA and many other sources. I could use some help / clarification.
I recently purchased an HTC One m7 ATT version. I've rooted, installed SuperSU, TWRP and unlocked the phone. I was stuck on choosing a rom but I've hit a new snag. I was going to try ViperOne but noticed they insist you install the latest firmware updates first. Here's where I'm lost. I'm running the stock version that came with my phone when it was locked.
Kitkat 4.4.2, Sense 6
FW# - 5.12.502.2
Hboot - 1.57
Radio - 4m.27.3218.14
I can't seem to get the OTA's, how do you get OTA's, do you have to run official att service sim like gophone? Or can you use straight talk like I currently have? Or do you not even need a sim for OTA's? I don't currently have a sim in the phone, was waiting to get all this sorted first. Will OTA's break root? Would it be beneficial to turn the phone into international version to get OTA's faster and would I lost the 4g lte abilities of phone if I did this?
How do I go about putting these firmware updates on, is s-off required even if you use a signed RUU from "androidruu dot com" for example?
I would like to get the latest official firmware releases on the phone and get it updated to kitkat 4.4.4 from the official releases and then put a custom rom on of my choice.
Is any of this even necessary? Are firmware updates included with the Rom's? How is an RUU different than a rom?
Someone, if possible please help me get this all sorted out, I'm so confused, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

No firmwares are never included in ROMs, and RUU reset your phone (both firmware and ROM) to fully stock, but you would need an RUU with same or higher version that you are on now. (with S-ON)
what is latest att firmware
@clsA, nkk71 and I have been talking on the #AndroidRevolution irc channel, we/I am trying to get this resolved to figure out if I need s-off in order to grab latest firmware's before I apply a custom rom because it seems att is way behind everyone else since the rest seem to be 6.0.something. Can you confirm what latest att firmware # is for htc one via their software update on the phone? I have reset phone to stock but it's still stuck on 5.12.xxx.xx (whatever the # is, don't remember right now) and claiming it's up-to-date, trying to figure out if boot-loader also has to be locked in addition to stock rom and stock recovery and root removed (cause I did all that but left bootloader unlocked), I've been reading that it does, but neither of us can confirm this. And do you need official att sim/service to do the updates? Additionally, could you direct to a list of signed firmware updates for flashing with s-on if this is not the latest firmware. Thanks!
clsA, just fyi, he used your Guru Reset ROM 5.12.502.2
but doesnt get any OTA updates
I tried it, but since i'm not on ATT, it doesnt even accept my device

Sure ... I recommend converting to the Developers edition for the most updates
after your s-off Change your CID fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
then flash this RUU >> http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...8_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353887_signed_3.exe
And then you can take OTA updates up to the current 6.07.1540.2 (3 updates I think)
I'm uploading the file's I used Here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=24178
Their is also a RUU now from HTC >> http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...4_10.33E.1718.01L_release_404528_signed_2.exe

@clsA, thank you so much for that, I actually ended up following @vomer 's guide and turning it into super CID because it seemed that the firmware updates were newer than the developer ones oddly enough, 6.0.9 and 6.0.9.xxx.10 and then there's 6.0.9.xxx.11 and .12 but this is where i hit a snag, all went smoothly using vomers firmwares up till 6.0.9.xxx.10 but then i tried to flash the .11 and .12 from ARHD and the device bricked/ hangs on boot....ended up having to use adb push to get your reset on there and reset the device, flash the original firmware etc...phone is working again (I was tempted to panic but maintained control ;P) but ultimately means i wasted a bunch of time only to have start over again....for now I've left it 5.12 and stock....maybe you could help figure out what went wrong when you get a chance.
Thanks.!
i left recovery and root on during the reset just in case it didn't work but did flash back the stock radio for that rom as well

Theirs nothing wrong with the Stock 5.12.502 firmware from AT&T in fact it's one of the most stable. You can flash mostly any rom you want with that firmware installed. The reason I recommend the Developer edition right now is because Lollipop+Sense is due out any day now on that model.

@clsA, I was bent on the firmware update to take advantage of latest enhancements with ARHD and they recommended at least v6 xxx .11 eventhough the rom is based on v6 xxx.12, viperone also strongly advised latest firmware updates....does the developer versions you sent me have the calling fix for when the audio in the call was lost because of google update? Also, quick question, why did you include the 4 xxx something base firmware...i can just proceed with the CID change and start at the 6 series firmwares because I'm already at later version with att stock 5.12 right?
Any idea what happened the other night with the bricking - would boot, hang on black screen after first htc logo on white background and then just have the hardware touch buttons lit....was it because the firmwares ARHD posted required the bootloader to be re-locked? (failed to notice this until after I had semi-bricked it)
Also, what backup app would you recommend? looking to restore all my apps and settings after these wipes etc...getting tired of redoing it all again each time.
Thanks!

The Developers Edition 4.x RUU is the last RUU .. then it's 3 updates and your at the current version and ready for the Lollipop update
The ARHD International firmware needs the MID changed to work, You can eather edit the android_info.txt or change you MID to make them work

@clsA, hmm, did not see that anywhere in the post...def. did not change MID...but they did specify needing locked bootloader, any idea why? will either of those cause the boot problem I described? Or can the firmware after 6.xxx.10 be incompatible with the att stock rom and i actually needed to flash a rom before proceeding?
When you said earlier "And then you can take OTA updates up to the current 6.07.1540.2 (3 updates I think)" you mean flash them or can take them via the OTA update service....in the dev edition does the built in OTA update service work with unlock and root?
what version does .401 mean, is that international? I know the .1540 designates developer edition.
What backup for settings and apps would you recommend, would titanium suffice?
Thanks again for all the help.

Lollipop is coming in the next few days. Just go back to post #11 and flash the RUU and the OTA updates
I gave you the link to all the file's I used. Your S-off no need to lock the bootloader and you flash the OTA updates from stock recovery yourself
just download them all to your phone sdcard and flash them in order.
I use HTC Backup is all I need. And google keeps my contacts and calender

Depends on what you mean "Try Out " ? you aether convert to Full GPe or you flash a rom.
If you convert, you simple change your CID and flash the RUU.
If you want to just see if it's for you, flash the rom .. I like this one >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-google-play-edition-lollipop-v1-00-t2963927
But it does require the latest firmware so yes post #11 would get you to the newest firmware
Hi...
Like the subject line says, I have an AT&T branded HTC One M8, I have unlocked using the HTC site, got root, and have TWRP installed... All working fine, but I want to get the latest OTA update, and haven't been able to get the stock recovery reloaded...
I have reviewed the threads about returning to stock, but they all seem to be for devices that are S-Off, and my device is still S-On...
Could someone give me the proper steps and proper order to be able to get the OTA updates?
Thanks in advance!

You are in the M7 forum, you need to try the M8 forum.
