Hi, I was wondering if is possible to unroot the Tattoo, I mean, flash the official RUU and get my phone as a stock one.
Anyone knows how can I do that?
Thanks!
Just flash the stock ROM, and goodbye root.
Cheers
Thanks @Zecanilis
Is this going to remove the custom recovery image on my device?
Regards
yes.. It will
Hi everybody.
my HTC one has Viper 5.8 running with S-ON and i like it that way.
I never updated the Firmware since i moved from the 4.2.2 stock rom. (i have nandroid backup of the stock rom)
I am a bit scared doing S-OFF "just" to update firmware, hboot and radio, I know it should be easy to do, but i just don't want to.
So i thought that maybe i can flash back to the stock rom, then make the offical HTC update to 4.3 sense 6 (should also flash newest firmware right?) and then unlock the bootloader again, flash twrp and custom rom again.
Would that work? Is there something i have to pay attention to?
thx for any help!!!!

Since you don't want S-Off, that is your best option. I would follow closely @Mike1986 [GUIDE] Complete Flashing Guide | Rooting | Going Back To Stock it is for those who are S-On.
Thanks, I will follow the guide.
But I have one more question:
Can I do the official HTC update from the htc stock rom while I still have custom recovery and bootloader unlocked?
Can't find any any info if there is any risk involved not changing back first to stock recovery and bootloader relocked before doing the update.
I guess recovery will be overwritten by the official update?!?
You need stock recovery and locked bootloader to take updates

you don't need a locked bootloader to get an official ota update,however,you do need to flash a stock recovery !!.
I went through the ota update method to update my firmware as for some reason my htc one wouldn't s-off and I felt that it wasn't running as it should on custom roms with the old firmware.
I started off with a flashable zip -4.06.1540.2,developer edition then ota updates,always doing a nand backup of rom.
always pull the stock recovery image from the ota before updating...
i'm now running 5.11.1540.9 firmware and all custom roms are running good...
if you google 4.06.1540.2 dev edition flashable zip you should find it,if not,i can upload it too somewhere for you...
an official htc ota update changes your firmware and installs a stock recovery..
its a bit long winded this way,but,it was the only way for me !!

First thank you for sharing your experience.
When you say "zip -4.06.1540.2,developer edition" then you mean the rom, correct?
Why would you pull the stock recovery from the OTA before updating? What would be the consequence of leaving it in?
...
so i would download the odexed stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48111304
and afterwards flash the according recovery.img, correct?
i guess it is no problem that my phone (and their for the bootloader) was not a developer edition

yeah,it's a full flashable rom,that can be installed by custom recovery,when I say pull the stock recovery,i mean copy it to a folder on your pc,always best to have the matching recovery for your stock rom.
So, I am rooted and have TWRP for my recovery, running a custom stock rom. I'm wanting to upgrade to a new Lollipop ROM, but they all say that firmware 4.20.651.10 is required. I looked into how to upgrade the firmware, and all I found was that I need to get back on stock recovery, with a locked bootloader. My question is. . .can anyone help my get stock recovery with a locked bootloader again? I have the Harman/Kardon edition.

No, I'm not S-Off.
Pull the stock recovery from the 3.31 Full Firmware.

No need to update via ota, just update firmware & install a 4.20 custom ROM.

So that's it? I thought I had to go back to stock in order to flash the new firmware, even through the download available here on the site.
No , you just have to make sure you flash the full firmware and not the modified ones
Hi,
I've got an M7 with a stock 4.3 ROM with root, and CWM 6036 installed. Can I install straight to Lollipop without wiping (stock ROM via update.zip), or should I update to KK first?
I'm planning on updating to the latest CWM beforehand.
Cheers, appreciate any advice.

You'll either have to restore you phone to stock rom and stock recovery and take the ota update or you can flash the latest ruu which will update your phone and wipe everything. Lollipop RUUs are available in the general section.
Hey can anyone give me the idea about the stock rooted roms? If i flash those then it should be pre rooted right? I dont have the bootloader unlocked and i dont want to. So can i just flash the stock rooted rom to get root access? If so can anyone give me any link for m8 hk edition marshmallow stock rooted rom? Help please
Stock rooted is exactly what it says it is, it is a stock ROM with root. You have to have TWRP to flash a ROM to begin with, which means you have to unlock the bootloader.

Thanks for the reply. Now i have already flashed the marshmallow stock in my phone. I had kitkat 4.4.4 rooted rom and i lost the root. As you said that i have to have twrp to flash a rom but i already flashed one before where i did not have to unlock the bootloader. I have super cid and s-off. So if i just flash the marshmallow firmware and then marshmallow stock rooted rom via hboot i dont think i need to unlock bootloader right? When i got my phone it had stock rooted 4.4.4 and the bootloader was LOCKED. So can i flash a similar marshmallow stock rom? I dont wanna install twrp or something. I just want to follow the thread of OMJ to flash the stock rooted rom. But i didnt get the marshmallow hk model stock rooted in that thread. So if u have the link of it can u give me?

If there is a stock rooted MM rom it will be in the RUU thread.
If there is one there, it will require unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed in order to install.
