From Sony To HTC One, Utterfly Confused

Hi guys. I shifted from my old Sony Xperia Sola to the beautiful HTC One and I'm loving it. The phone was gifted to me and is from from Singapore (or perhaps bought in one of those countries around there). The problem is that I'm just not getting the Android 4.2.2 update (OTA or software). Here's what I intend to do:
- Download International HTC One Andorid 4.2.2 Stock ROM
- Boot into HTC One stock recovery
- Flash Android 4.2.2 Stock on my HTC One
Questions:
1. Do I need to unlock my bootloader for this? From my experience with Sony, I shouldn't need to do so. For Sony phones there's FTF, for HTC phones there's (what? Is it RUU files?)?
2. Can I make this update on stock ROM?
3. Can I install CWM without unlocking bootloader and ROOT my phone as well?
Would really appreciate some help, just links to the respective threads and I'll take it from there.
Thanks!

You need unlocked boatloader for custom recovery , root , flashing , if I were you I'd fist s-off then do the following.

Is there no way I can flash the OFFICIAL Android 4.2.2 update using stock recovery?

When you say you want to flash stock ROM, do you actually mean official 4.2.2 or are you talking about a custom Stock ROM like ARHD? ... If you want to flash a custom ROM you will need a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM. If you want to flash an RUU then you will need to be S-Off to flash anything other than the one meant for the region the phone came from.
Your bootloader needs to be unlocked to flash custom recovery, also, if you decide to flash something like ARHD which is the best custom ROM IMO (and is almost completely stock but with a few improvements) then it already has root built into the ROM. Just unlock your bootloader, install custom recovery usng fastboot and then flash a ROM using CWM or TWRP, whichever you install.

My phone software (.407) belongs to the India region. And I want to flash the official Android 4.2.2 ROM for the Indian HTC One version.

Alternatively, I'm considering flashing ARHD. Doesn't matter if I'm using an Indian region variant right? (GSM)
So I need to:
- Unlock the bootloader
- Install Recovery
- Flash ROM
That's it correct? I lose all the information in my internal storage or it stays? (I mean in the 32GB internal storage)
Also, can I lock bootloader and go back to official ROM at any stage in the future?

Yep, unlock your bootloader which will wipe your internal storage so backup to your pc first if there's things you want to keep. Install a custom recovery using fastboot and then you can just flash any ROM, ARHD is a very good choice btw lol.
If you want to return to stock then check the second thread in my previous post, but yes, you can flash a stock ROM like in the thread I mentioned, install a stock recovery, re-lock your bootloader and then you should be good to go as far as OTA updates etc.
This is assuming you are S-On btw, S-Off requires different steps for what I mentioned and I am not familiar with that way at all as I'm S-On. What I mentioned above is exactly what I did when I reverted to stock to receive the recent 4.2.2 update in the UK
I don't know which files you need to restore to stock as the thread is for the European version of the One and I don't know how your version differs but someone will be able to advise you more on that . The process is the same though if you are S-On, I'm just not 100% sure what custom ROM or stock ROM you would need for your variant of the ONE so best let somebody more knowledgeable take over from here lol
Good luck.

Phew. S-On S-Off, Sony phones are a hell lot simpler! Thanks a ton!

How do i install OTA update when i have CWM recovery?

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.
AT&T HTC One
GPe 4.3

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.

[Q] Help I'm lost to flash my rom

Hi, I want to install "Elegancia" rom on my htc one m7 but i'm lost the devloper says that:
1.HTC_Dev Unlocked Bootloader (Ok I did it now i'm bootloader is unlocked I found a tutorial on Google)
2.Latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 Recovery for KitKat supportbut also to enjoy OTA Updates & better Aroma Support) (I did it also I'm done with that I installed it via Fastboot I also found a tutorial on Google. And I Rooted my htc one from TWRP
3.S-off recommended (Now that I don't know how to do it I'm block here my HBOOT: HBOOT-1.55.0000)
Edit: I'm just past in S-OFF but I have Tampered how to do to remove TAMPERED please?
4.I advice you to flash the latest Android 4.4 firmware (I have to install a stock rom kitkat first? or I can flash directly with his rom? I'm on 4.3 Android version. anyway I don't know how to update or flash with his rom because he doesn't explain or I don't understand right?)
This is the link of the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351020
Thanks for your time. Sorry i'm new on Android during 5 years I was Apple product.

I would suggest that you make a backup recovery from TWRP before doing anything further...
For s-off on hboot 1.55, search for rumrunner (tool) guide. GL.

[Q] Rooting Hboot 1.57.0000

Hey guys,
Im new to HTC One. I have Tmobile version running on stock sense 6. I wanted to install a custom stock rom without the Tmobile Bloatware.
I know how to unlock the bootloader using HTC Dev method and install recovery to root. But i am a bit confused about S-Off. I have read that S-off will not work with Hboot 1.57.0000
So my questions are
1. Do i really have to S-off to install custom roms on HTC?
2. If not can i install ROMs for the int. version on my phone ?
3. Does the CID ver/number have anything to do with unlocking and rooting?
Thanks in advance.

1 No
2 Yes
3 No
If any time after install custom Rom you need revert back to Stock Rom for Warranty purposes you need S Off

You can s off with 1.57 if you need to. If Firewater doesn't work sunshine will but it'll cost u $25

Thank you for the reply. I have successfully rooted my stock rom and installed CWM recovery. And i have flashed custom kernel too.
I would now like to flash a 4.4.3 sense custom rom. I have read on some threads that the kernel wont be flashed on S-on devices. So do i have to flash a custom rom always after flashing a custom rom?
And one more thing. I currently have CWM touch recovery. I have seen lot of roms require TWRP. So my question is does the recovery image depend on the HTC variant? I have a Tmobile M7UL

Correct your Q
you don't need always flash custom kernel See requirement of kernel for custom ROM at their post
custom kernel don't need S Off ( it can be flashed with S On and it HELPS GETTING S Off)
S On wont let you flash Lower firmware or kernel then present now. see bootloader screen for that

If only you could root your phone without having to unlock your bootloader so that you could know whether you can S-OFF or not.

Trying to root to get 6.0 very confused please help

Hello everyone,
I run Note 5, but not that it is in the repair I wanted to try and get 6.0 onto my HTC One M7. Problem is I don't know how to root it. What I did before, I had International version of M7 so I rooted it and installed Google Play Edition rom. Obviously since then my root is gone (not sure about recovery), OTA updated it to 5.1 and that's it.
I have tried 1 click root, Kingo Root but none of them would root. How can I go about rooting this device now? Do I need to revert to stock or what?
Now here are my rom details:
Kernel Version 3.4.10-ge0627be
Build number LMY470.H11
Thank you.

There is no android 6.0 for the M7 and the only 6.0 custom roms you'll find for it now are nightly (unstable) builds of Cyagnogenmod 13
For your rooting question, simply flash twrp recovery and then flash update-supersu2.46.zip using twrp and the phone is rooted.

I remember when I got this phone I installed clockwork mod then rooted then installed unrooted GPE rom. Does that mean that my customer recovery is still there untouched or has it been wiped and replaced with stock one?
Also would you be kind enough to point me to where can I find how to replaced Clockwork recovery with TWRP ?
I guess I will wait for some custom 6.0 rom in the future.

If you want to know what recovery is currently installed on the phone, why not simply booting in recovery mode?
