use the same methods you used to get Google Editition to update when a new OTA comes out, youll get a ROM here before the OTA is even shown on your phone

as far as I'm aware, the only way to root the HTC one is via unlocking the bootloader, which then prevents the phone from receiving OTA updates, is it possible to root the HTC one without opting out of these updates?

I'm not sure about all versions, but I have the Developer Edition that came unlocked and I get OTA updates. I think it is more about CID, MID, and stock OS & recovery.

A good place to start is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228274
The key is to make sure you are confident you can get back to stock recovery and perhaps locked bootloader (depending on model) before you take the plunge. That way you can get back to a fully stock device.

Use revone to s-off and unlock then install cwm recovery, install supersu from recovery, install stock recovery. With supersu you can temp unroot for otas.

This doesn't answer your question, but usually somebody posts a zip for a stock, rooted ROM within a couple days of OTA.
Just root, unlock, and install a custom rom already.

Well from what I read on other threads, it might be possible but they would need the dump from the Google Edition One that are being shipped now. They need bootloader, recovery, etc.

Soz Another Qustion
Soz just 2 more questions how do I change my phones CID and MID to the Google Edition? Following these instructions:
Installed Nammit1994's stock odexed GE ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2353033. This ROM is unaltered in any way, no root, no busybox, no nothing.
Then I rooted it with twrp's install root feature.
Next I installed the bootloader and recovery.
I also changed my CID to match the Google CID
My Phone is an AT&T model and shares the same MID as the google phone
Now my phone is in condition to accept an OTA. I think I can preserve root with ota rootkeeper, but I don't know for sure.
Thanks
Hi everyone! I'm new here, and forgive me if this is a repost, but I had rooted my HTC one M7 to Cyanogenmod using the CM installer and loved it but I'm wanting to go ahead and get it back to stock to get Sense 6 when HTC puts out their official ROM. Anyway, I ran through fastboot and relocked the bootloader which it shows and I flashed using HTC's RUU file. I'm on version 4.3 with 5.0 currently and am trying to update to 4.4.2 with sense 5.5 but everytime I go to settings then AT&T Software update it says the system is up to date. I've tried clearing the services framework and I still can't get it to update. I'm not sure where else to go. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have an AT&T unlocked and rooted HTC One (M7) currently running Android 4.1.2, I understand that since the device is rooted I cannot upgrade Android or receive OTA upgrades, is there a manual way to do this without re locking my device?

Not sure if this helps, but you could always try flashing a stock kitkat ROM, now that you're rooted/custom recovery. There's some on the Android Revolution HD blogspot, under downloads
I just got a good deal on att m7. I was able to unlock the bootloader from htcdev, rooted it, installed TWRP 2.8 and S-Off. HBOOT version 1.55. I did not flash a custom ROM (afraid it's not compatible even though I want to try MaximusHD). I am still on Android 4.3 and I believe the update to 4.4.2 is available. I haven't tried OTA using an ATT sim, if I do and the update is available, will I lose root? is there a way to update without losing root? sorry, newbie.

You can't use ota update with a custom recovery and you'll loose root after an ota update which is not really an issue. Root can be achieved in less than 2 minutes.
since your phone is s-off you should convert it to a Dev edition using the 6.07.1540.2 RUU to get rid of at&t software and then you'll be able to use ota updates even if you're not on at&t network.
