Please excuse my noobish question, but my HTC ONE is currently rooted on 4.1.2 and I am wondering what is the easiest method to update it to 4.2.2 without having to use OTA, which I can't anyways.
Thanks!
Flash a Rom that is 4.2.2. I think the update is barely starting to roll out internationally and might be awhile until ATT gets it.

In addition to just rooting the phone, you need to unlock the bootloader, flash a different recovery and then flash a ROM that uses 4.2.2. I prefer ARHD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
This ROM gives you 4.2.2 with full sense 5.0 experience without all the bloatware that your carrier most likely installed on your phone. :good:

Would I be able to recover my apps and settings via Titanium backup or will I have to redo everything again......my guess is that i will have to redo everything b/c it is a new ROM.

Sorry I don't have a solid answer for you because as soon as I got my phone, I installed ARHD prior to installing anything on my phone. My guess is YES you will need to redo everything.
I'm currently running the GE gtc one ROM. If you want that.

My evo 3d is rooted and is running viper rom with rc mix kernel. It wants me to do the system update but i am not sure how to go about this process. Do i just do the update, lose root, and then reroot using the new method? Do i have to unroot first? Do i just do a factory data reset? This is my first android phone so I am new to all of this considering i owned an iphone before. Any help would be appreciated.

It's all good. You just need to wait a little. Basically the rom developers will take that system update and use it as a base. This takes time due to the fact that they need to ensure all of their features they have implemented still work. Also some developers wait to update until other kernel developers have a stable kernel that works with their rom. Long story short, just wait and flash your own updates.

Also, to add something, you don't actually have to wait if you have s-off. I didn't. I didn't even flash a rooted ROM. Basically, I flashed a stock recovery image, updated my phone just like normal, flashed teamwin recovery, installed su through teamwin recovery, and then rebooted my phone. I have root, s-off, and the most up to software/hboot/everything that came in the update. For more info check out these links.

I converted my HTC One to a google edition by flashing the ruu, changing the modelid and cid. I tried reverting to stock sense by restoring a nandroid but when it booted to Android the touchscreen did not work. When I restored the nandroid I did not change the modelid or cic but I don't think that would have mattered. Do I need to also restore the bootloader ?

You need to restore an earlier firmware. Follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355814. On page 5 i posted a firmware that replaces the same partitions (other than system) that the GPe conversion changes out. If you don't want to change you MID just change the android-info.txt file to match your current MID (PN072000) and it will flash.
Good luck...if this helps let the folks in that thread know, and as always love the thanks button.

No...just system and boot usually. You can grab cache and data too...but not the other partitions. Be scary always writing the firmware on restore. Mucking with firmware is risky business.

Complete HTC newb here so apologies if its been repeated or if there's already tons of threads on it, but I can't seem to find a solid all in one revert to 100% stock thread... that said, the crack flasher in me got too antsy and I unlocked the bootloader, fastboot flashed a recovery, and put a custom 4.2.2 ROM (ViperOne) on my One. I liked stock just fine and want to go back to it now. As far as I know I didn't s-off or change my firmware or anything important, I just did those 3 things so would I be ok just flashing that T-Mobile stock zip posted above and then fastboot flashing the stock t-mo recovery? I am not a flashing newb, I know adb and fastboot and how to flash various packages.
tl;dr unlocked and flashed a custom recovery to put on a custom 4.2.2 ROM. do I need to do anything special besides flashing a T-Mobile "stock" package and reverting recovery?

You don't need to be S-On for OTA's. Only locked bootloader with stock recovery.
Hi. I'm new to the HTC One family. I bought a used rooted unit on Swappa and flashed the Google Play Edition on the phone, which was great, until I installed an over-the-air update, which was unavoidable. I'm now running Android 4.3 Build # JWR66v.H10. When I go to Bootloader mode, it says the phone is unlocked and tampered. When I go to use superuser it tells me the phone is not rooted.
How do I get the bootloader to not be tampered? Do I need that to be fixed to root again? How do I re-root? I'd like to not receive these OTA updates as well, to avoid problems in the future.
All help and suggestions are appreciated!
just reflash SuperSU for your device and you should be rooted again, for the tampered i believe you have to flash the RUU to get that back to stock android and stock bootloader.

Its gonna say tampered if you have tampered with the stock recovery haha.
You can either go s-off to get rid of that or go back to full stock.
And ya just flash latest superSU and you should be rooted.

As previously stated you cannot change your ROM because your bootloader is locked but you have root so you can get Titanium Backup and freeze unneccessary or unwanted apps. Search around for recommendations or try here:

Updating will most assuredly remove your root but it's not a huge deal to re-root. It won't change your s-off. Hopefully you did a full Nandroid before you installed your custom rom, It will only take you a couple steps and a few minutes to get back to where you started. If not you will have to hunt down the stock rom and flash, which shouldn't be all that difficult either. Whichever you end up doing, I would perform a fresh titanium backup of JUST your apps. This way you can get right back to where you are after you update! Good luck

I'm not a staff so I have no idea about release date
but HTC just declared the future products and including last year New One series have 2 years update support, I guess US carrier will release it soon, the KitKat now is standing at front of a door, shouting "LET ME OUT!" =P

you are trying to install the official update via custom recovery? I bet this won't work ( tell me if I'm wrong, new to One max )
find the stock recovery, flash it, then let the phone install it itself.

You need stock recovery for T6UL that you can find in CWM thread.
its so easy to flash it, just in case... fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I suspect the device needs to be LOCKED for the OTA to be applied. That can be done from Scotty's thread or mostly you are already locked.
You can be S-OFF, nothing to worry about.
Try keep OTA keeper or Superuser's keep root option during OTA. - This mostly might not work because the OTA methods have improved on security, however worth a try.
Unlock immediately after OTA and then ROOT and install the SD card read/write MOD
Backup CWM and upload for us
Thank you!
