Wait for the update, maybe? They have started to roll it out, so just be patient. :cyclops:

answer is no.
Only other way is unlocking bootloader via htc dev and install some 4.2.2 based rom (not including firmware/radio)

It is not compulsory to install custom rom. But I see no reason not to..
Hello ,
I currently have a rooted HTC Butterfly S with Android 4.2 and the Maximus HD custom ROM installed. I want to update my phone to Android 4.3 to install some of the newer custom roms. I have no idea how to go about doing this and I don't wanna brick my phone .
I found a link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422783 ) to download the stock ROM with 4.3 Android , will flashing it automatically update it?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

The stock 4.3 ROM won't update your firmware (hboot, radio and all the other stuff). You can update that manually even without S-OFF, I've written the instructions multiple times in this forum.
If you install the 4.3 stock ROM and then some other 4.3 ROM, you will accomplish exactly the same thing as if you simply installed the other 4.3 ROM straight away. In other words, installing the 4.3 stock ROM doesn't make any difference at all if you intend to install something else anyway.
ahh I get it. I can't seem to be able to find those instructions that you've posted , tried checking your profile but couldn't find anything.
would also like to clarify , I want to install this custom rom on my butterfly s ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557441) however I saw that it says Android 4.3 ,will I be able to install it on my phone which is running on android 4.2.2?

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't, but just to be on the safe side, always take a nandroid backup before installing anything. If it does not run, try to install the latest firmware as explained in the post linked above and try again.
The title says it all..
Thank you!

You need to have a rooted ROM with CWM installed, and then install a 4.3 ROM that is rooted. If you don't want to do that you need to unluck your bootloader.
There are a number of threads dealing with the process, the best one probably from Matt.
Hey guys quick question, i am currently living with my long suffering firmware that is jellybean...the phones needing a good clean out and update!
So i was wondering if there is a UK regional FTF for the latest kit kat?
BUT ALSO! i have seen generic ES (Spain) Regional FTFs for Kit Kat and i will be moving to Spain in September.. so should i just go a head and flash that? i don't know the difference between ES & UK (not that i have managed to find a UK version, maybe someone could point me in the right direction)
Also are these FTFs available for rooting? my phone is currently rooted with CWM and will most likely want to re-root after i have flashed with flashtools..
sorry to ask such nooby questions
Thanks
Chris

The UI is a bit different with lot of bloatware removed.
Battery drain will be there initially but it will disappear after play store automatically updates.
Hitting thanks will be more appreciated than typing it

I had rooted using the old school method because towelroot was not availabe then
Towelroot will work to root and its the easiest way at the moment.
After rooting just download and install SuperSU from play store.
After flashing firmware Bootloader wont be locked again
Kernel and Root are two different things
You will have to flash recovery again though as flashing firmware will remove the recovery
You can get the recovery from here
Dont follow root instructions from the link as you will be rooted after using towelroot

You cannot downgrade at all. Every major release comes with a new bootloader which cannot be downgraded.

It depends on what phone you have. If you have the i9295, then you can downgrade. If you have the i537, then you cannot downgrade.

Just out of curiosity (don't really know if I can help) did you try going step by step (sequentially by each build) or did you try going straight to the newest one?

Here ya go, went with the NE3 firmware instead of the NH3, i'll slim it down as close as possible to a AOSP ROM.
The battery life is a lot better with the ROM
