Hi there, I have rooted my HTC ONE by flashing a customized recovery and a superSU.zip. So does that affect the OTA function? I dont wanna flash any 3rd ROM and just wanna keep stock ROM(And currently i am still using the stock version,i didnt make any changes except root).Can i still using OTA or if i still want such function what should i do? Ty vry much！

Hello everyone, i hope you can help. My HTC One has been nagging about the system update, but when i click to install it, the phone reboots and enters clockworkmod recovery. I thought it would be like installing a regular .zip, but it seems it wasn't that easy.
How do i apply the OTA update?
And sorry if this is in the wrong forum, couldn't quite tell where exactly to put it.
Any help is appreciated.
Stock recovery.
So there isn't any other way?
Flash a stock ROM based upon n the ota? Why do you want the ota if you're able to flash Roms from xda either stock or custom.

You can't install an OTA except through stock recovery. There is no other way.

Good question. I like the stock ROM, but if theres a ROM here that has Android 4.2.2 and Blinkfeed, i guess i could try that instead.
Anyway, thanks for answering my question.
so the title says it all. is there anyway I can root my HTC One without installing a custom recovery first? I want to be able to do OTA updates and with a custom recovery it is not possible. if there is a way to root without installing a custom recovery, can you please provide me a step by step tutorial on how to? thanks in advance.

Can you get OTA updates if you are rooted? I thought you had to be stock

I do get OTA updates, and it downloads just fine, but as soon as I try to install it, it reboots into the custom recovery and nothing happens. when I had Sense 5 ROM I would simply install the stock recovery.img and installed the OTA update, but right now I'm on stock Android 4.3 google edition and I can't find a stock google edition 4.3 recovery.img

Go to the GPe convention thread. Its in the development section. Download the ruu. Pull the recovery.img, and flash it.
Or ignore the ota, its a minor update anyway. No noticeable changes.

I've had mine Rooted with a custom recovery and a custom rom for months now, I was just wondering when the Sense 4.3 comes will it update everything for me as I cannot get OTA? If not, what do I have to do to get OTA back? Do I just have to install an official rom and recovery img? I'm guessing rooting doesn't stop OTA as I was able to OTA in the past on another phone with it rooted.
thanx.

If you're not updating via OTA, then you're only updating ROM. Firmware and radio can be updated manually if you are s-off or if there's a firmware package that matches your CID and MID.
Flashing back to a stock ROM and recovery will allow you to accept OTA, then you can reroot and reflash custom ROM.

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.

are you s-off
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
