Is your bootloader unlocked? You need an unlocked bootloader to flash a non-stock based custom roms. Since you can connect it to flashmode, download flash tools and flash back a stock rom. You can unlock your bootloader if you want flash flash a custom ROM.

[Q] Will OTA from Sense 4.3 to 4.4 unroot and wipe my custom recovery?

Hello,
I have a Developer Edition (unlocked) with Stock 4.3 at the moment, is rooted and with TWRP 2.6.3.0 custom recovery, my phone is asking me to upgrade to 4.4. My questions are:
- What would be the results of the upgrade?
- It will flash over my custom recovery without problems?
I guess I will loose root and custom recovery but I can flash them again, my main concern is that the OTA will not flash correctly for being rooted and with custom recovery. Thanks a lot for those that know the answer and want to help me.

Actually, you won't be able to do an OTA update when you've a custom recovery (you shouldn't even get it in the first place, sometimes it comes through), if you try to apply the OTA, you'll boot back to the TWRP recovery.
So, you should either go full stock (recovery & ROM), then do an OTA. Or flash some 4.4 Custom ROM.

By itself the phone alerted me that the OTA download is available and wants to download and flash itself as it did when it upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 so I am not planning to flash through TWRP...

it will download OK, but when it reboots to start installing, you'll just see the TWRP screen and nothing is gonna happen; because the OTA expects stock recovery.

Thanks!!!!
I guess I better flash another 4.3 or 4.4 by myself, I just thought the OTA would be better first to upgrade to the latest firmware...

you can do two things:
1- get s-off and flash any firmware you want
2- "download & install later" the OTA, once downloaded pull it to your PC, the OTA file will contain a "firmware.zip" which is signed and can be flashed in fastboot ruu mode (you have to issue the flash command twice!!!), which would upgrade your firmware (including hboot, kernal and recovery), but will leave your rom intact
----- because it flashes recovery, you need to reflash custom recovery
----- and, kernel (boot.img) you'll need to reflash the custom one (or dirty install the ROM), otherwise the ROM won't boot up

I've looked around for a CWM compatible version of the Dev Edition + Root, but I'm not finding one. Is anyone aware of a CWM-packaged version that I can flash using CWM on a rooted device? Reverting to stock to pick up the OTA seems like a long way to go

Returning to stock. Almost there. I want to make sure.

Hey Guys,
Can I please get some help? I am S-off and I have flashed the 6.06 no red warning hboot, but I need to return the phone for a repair.
I flashed the 5.11.401.10 firmware from Mike1986's repository (only because I could find matching recovery and ROM for this firmware), but the red warning has not come back. Is this a problem? Is there another version of this firmware I can use that WILL bring back the red warning (ie. an unmodified hboot)?
I have read NEVER to lock/relock a modified hboot as it'll do some nasty things. I need to be 100% before I go any further. I have the matching 5.11 odexed rom and recovery from the same repository.
I'm assuming the process is:
1. fix the issue with the hboot
2. flash the stock ROM
3. lock bootloader using the easy aroma method.
4. flash stock recovery via adb.
I've been told that I could leave it s-off as it will likely go unnoticed if the bootloader is locked. is this true?
Any and all help is vastly appreciated.

If you flashed the firmware from mike1986's [PLACEHOLDER] HTC One firmware collection for different CID/MID then you have both the stock hboot and stock recovery. His firmware does not have modified hboots. I would do the following:
1. flash custom recovery
2. flash stock rom
3. lock bootloader and remove tampered if present
4. flash stock recovery
I would leave it S-OFF.

Thank you. So it does not matter that the red warning has not returned? Even though I'm unlocked s-off?

If you have a stock recovery you will not have the red warning, it will come back if you have a custom recovery and a stock hboot. Did you flash a custom recovery after you flashed the stock firmware? If you did, you should see the red come back if not you will not. It is only visible when you enter recovery.

Thank you. That's the answer I was looking for. So I can go ahead and lock the boot loader without issue.

Yes, just follow these steps:
1. flash custom recovery
2. flash stock rom
3. lock bootloader and remove tampered if present using this tool: guru-bootloader-reset
4. flash stock recovery

[Q] [SOLVED] UBL with custom kernel how to flash stock

Hello,
My phone is nicely bricked. The situation is:
- UBL
- Tangerine kernel on it
What occured: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61375980&postcount=1480
Do I have to relock before flashing tft ?? As I have a custom kernel installed on it I don't think so ... but as I am in a bad situation I'd like to be sure of what to do ...
thanks.
[EDIT]: phone booting stock rom.... When flashing stock rom with your Bootloader Unlocked you have to STAY Unlocked. Relock can be done only when you are on stock rom.
Note: To flash the rom I had to delete bootloader.sin from ftf file
[IMPORTANT] After flashing your bootloader is locked back !!! I was going to flash a custom kernel before checking that ....

How to install stock recovery/rom/unroot/relock bootloader?

Guys , I have to sell my phone, so, I decided to do all the necessary to have it stock..
So, the question is, how can I do this? I need the phone like when I bought it

You can do most of this via SRK Tool. If you can't relock bootloader then you can flash your stock update.app via stock recovery and that will relock your bootloader and get rid of root.
Please don't follow this for when you have Nougat beta installed though.

I currently have TWRP recovery.. How can I put stock recovery?
Is better to put 1st the rom and for 2nd the recovery or contrary?
Anyway thanks for answering me!

1. Backup (as always)
2. Flash stock recovery with flashify for example
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669572
3. Flash stock Rom b182 with dload-method
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91783&version=358257&siteCode=de
Now your Bootloader is relocked and everything is stock again (I hope so)
