I already rooted it and am now in the process of trying to install cfw. Can I install the newest version of CM on it? The 2nd bootloader part is where I am confused. Will I be able to do it on the version I'm running? Thanks for any input

No, don't do it. The custom ROM's only go up to the 2012 KFHD models. If you do, you will hard brick your tablet.

Hi Guys, I just got the phone (international/ non-carrier version) yesterday. Updated it to 4.3, and rooted it, following the guide from HTCOneRoot.com.
Everything is fine and dandy, as when I rooted my previous phone. But in my sheer eagerness, I didn't find out that the 4.4 was available also.
I now have a rooted phone, and I can't update it, as it goes directly to TWRP recovery when I try to install. I guess this is what it's supposed to do?
From what I can read you cannot install OTA when you have rooted your phone.
So I tried looking up how to unroot it. But this seems like a rather difficult project, and I am not sure I understand. From what I read I need to download a RUU, to install a stock rom(?) and I tried looking up this, but there are tons to select from, and I haven't the slightest clue which matches my phone. Can anyone be of assistance, as to how I can revert my root and update to 4.4, so I can root my phone with the latest android, instead? I'm not really interested in getting a custom rom on my phone.
Guess I should've read more about rooting before doing it, as I'm kind of a novice, but I'm more a trial and error kinda guy .
Thanks.
Edit: Or should I just find a custom "stock" KitKat ROM, and install that, from my current position? Is that even possible?
Sort of an answer

Hey man, so to find the right ruu go here htcdev webiste, go under kernel source code and then choose device as the one and then choose carrier and download one of the matching ones.
For the other stuff I'm in the same boat as you. Just waiting for answers...I would try looking at youtube and type how to unbrick htc one and try those first. Didn't work for me but might for you.

Thanks. I'll look that up.
I am not bricked, as the situation is now. I just have a rooted phone, working with 4.3. And I want to upgrade to 4.4.
So I guess I have to choose HTC as carrier? I live in Denmark and am unsure whether to choose EU or EU NFC as region? Also what kernel version do I want to download? I am somewhat unsure what to do next.

Do a fastboot getvar all, and choose the RUU that matches your MID and your CID
I've only rooted my phone so far. From what I understand I can just install a "custom 4.4" from this point, right?
Hello guys, im new to all this stuff and i dont really know what i have to do first in order to get CM 11 installed on my Bootloader locked phone.
Its so confusing, i dont know if i have to root my device first, or install a recovery or unlock my bootloader first so im able to root it etc.
Can anyone help me what to do first? im on the 4.3 Update
abload.de/img/screenshot_2014-05-02weo0t.png
the reason why i want to have CM 11 is because ive read that this rom is way faster than the 4.3 stock, also it has better ram management (?) and doenst lag as much as the stock one.
Also why i want to have the BL version is because i dont really want to void my warranty.
I hope you guys can help me out with a nice step by step guide for someone who thinks all those different steps are getting confusing oh and im sorry for my english ^^ im from germany

First,you will need to root your phone & install recovery

Sounds legit, in order to root my phone, i have to downgrade to the very first firmware and then use the doomlord method right?
after that i have to install the recovery, after that, do i have to flash a pre rooted 4.3 stock firmware or can i go straight from the very first rooted stock FW to the 4.4.2 rom?

you will need to downgrade,root it,flash recovery,flash pre-rooted 4.3 rom,then 4.4 Rom...
make a backup of 4.3 rom using recovery in case you want to revert.
Yes, downgrade, root, install cwm, install CM10.2 for LB, reboot recovery again and install cm 11 for lb

I tried to reinstall it, to change apk, but no way it won't works. For some of them the phone won't install...

Thanx for help
OK so I just got my moto x and rooted unlocked the boot loader and have twrp installed. Its a Dev edition from Verizon and I haven't accepted any updates yet because I've skimmed threads and know I won't be able to downgrade safely. I'm on 4.2.2 now and I want to get where I can install CM Pacman etc and most of these seem to run on 4.4.2. I want to have a stock backup I can safely go back to so my question is before I install any new Roms do I now need to accept ota updates up to 4.4.2 then stop and backup or can I safely install CM now and still go back to my stock 4.2.2 backup? I apologize I know the answer is out there I just haven't been able to narrow my search criteria to my specific situation. Thank you

You can safely install now. If you plan to use custom roms, it shouldn't matter which firmware version you are on. You are correct about not being able to downgrade, but this is really only important with the STOCK rom.
Have fun. Also, make sure you used the latest version of TWRP from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost (version 2.7.1.1)
Ignore---fixed it
Which version of CM11 did you flash? Which version were you on when you made the nandroid? Before you go flashing anything else, read up on downgrading and what the effects can be.
Actually before you do anything else, read all the stickies. If you still have questions, search and read some more. Any question you might want to ask has already been answered numerous times.

You must relock bootloader and flash original recovery.img
You can find both in this forum

I did it by flashing stock recovery. The bootloader can be unlocked.
I also removed the root binary(you have the option in super su - full unroot). Then I reflashed twrp.
Good luck.

You can flash cn rom directly form update option local update
I thought of doing so. But after reading it I realized that a lot of people got stuck after 25%. And I'm really afraid that it will get stuck for me too. Which version should be installed? Old? New?Should the bootloader be locked?
