Database Develop

[ROOT][CONFIRMED] SOFTWARE VERSIONS 1.14, 1.24, 1.08, 1.27 and all ICS software v etc

Hey guys
- not experimental anymore as roots all latest ICS builds and previous unrootable GB roms!
This is classed as experimental as I cannot try it but those with above mentioned softwares can. As we know most of the ASIAN firmwares 1.14, 1.24, 1.28 and Thailand and some o2 DE and Vodafone Dutch firmware versions have not been rootable by Doomlords exploit. This can prove quite disappointing by some who want to flash custom roms etc or just want root on their stock rom. This supersu zip works with most recent firmware releases and on One X so there is a strong likelyhood it will work on SXL as well.
Original Thread here here and all credits to CHAINFIRE(amazing dev) for this. I have attached the latest supersu zip 0.88 to this post.
Procedure:
1. If not already done so unlock bootloader at HTCDEV website. full instructions given on how to do this on the website here
2. flash recovery from here
3. boot into recovery via bootloader and flash supersu zip attached to this post (download and place in root of internal sd before flashing recovery) and reboot. supersu app should be installed on device. run the app and update the binaries as prompted and that should be it. if any issues go to preferences and change su setting to grant from prompt and it should be ok.
please advise if successful so i can update or remove thread. please post what software version you attempted to root and region PLEASE
Extended flash procedure broken down
1. unlock bootloader at HTCDEV.COM
2. with phone connected to pc and usb debugging enabled type: adb reboot bootloader. phone will boot into fastboot mode showing fastboot USB in red border
3. type command: fastboot erase cache
4. flash recovery downloaded aboved by using this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery_for_1.28
5. using press power button to select hboot highlighted in blue
6. vol down to recovery in green and power to select. recovery should launch
7. install zip from sdcard and choose supersu 0.87 or 0.88 and install
8. reboot and enjoy full root

Thanks for your hard work!

Appreciate any help but why try and confuse things if posted solution works. Recovery method is offered because most will prob flash a custom rom so will have recovery already.

[q] m7 unlocked and rooted and am receiving ota update notification?

My phone is unlocked and rooted and am using TWRP. I just received a OTA update notification for Sense - telling me to update to version 1.29.651.10 but I am already on software version 1.29.651.7 so the update has a earlier version than the version I'm currently using. I first received a prl update notification and installed that - then I got the software notification update with the older version number. I didn't think I would receive Sense software OTA updates after phone was unlocked rooted and recovery installed?

Well I downloaded a file called OTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.29.651.10-1.29.651.7_R2_release_319239dwcr0jcvysqogkks.zipOTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.29.651.10-1.29.651.7_R2_release_319239.zip and tried to install it with TWRP and it failed. I opened the zip with winzip and it has another zip file inside the zip which is: firmware.zip. These are the folders and files in the above zip.
META-INF (FOLDER)
PATCH (FOLDER)
SYSTEM (FOLDER)
bug_fix1 (FILE)
bug_fix2 (FILE)
busybox (FILE)
firmware.zip (WinZip FILE)
fotaBoot (FILE)
reset_system.ko (KO FILE)
skin_fota (FILE)
Any thoughts if this is the right stock rom and/or why it failed to install? There is another zip called Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip but you have to relock the bootloader to install.

Update hitting today or tomorrow! 1.54

Once you are unlocked you don't updates anymore. You have to wait until one of the Dev's create a modified firmware update.
EDIT: Actually never do a OTA if you are S-Off. There may not be an exploit yet and will have to wait until there is to regain S-OFF.

Not true.. Once you are S-OFF you stay S-OFF even after an HBOOT update. This is assuming that you are still using the stock odex ROM with stock recovery.

That's correct if you are already s-off, we usually don't get s-off so quickly. But if you didn't s-off and are unlocked, it might take a while to exploit the updated HBOOT.

What we're trying to say tho, is you don't want to take this 1.54 update without s-off first. If you take 1.54 it probably has new hboot that you wouldn't be able to s-off with then

How to get OTA from your Device:
1. When an update is available, let it download. After the download completes, when it asks for intalling, give install later.
2. Connect your device in Storage mode and search the memory card for "OTA"
How to Install OTA:
1. Download OTA file
2. Rename it 'update.zip' (not update.zip.zip)
3. Put on root of SD card
4. Boot phone into HBOOT
5. Select recovery
6. Select Update from Zip
7. Select 'install update.zip from SD card'
8. Press power to select

[Q] Rotted One OTA Update Risks

Hi all,
i'm a total noob in the htc world, i tried digging around in the forum but didn't find the answer to my doubts.
I've an italian (totally unlocked) rooted M7 with STOCK (no carrier personalisation) ROM, running:
- Android 4.4.2
- Sense 5.5
- Software Number 4.19.401.11
- Kernel 3.4.10-g7fe1bad [email protected] #1
- Baseband 4A.25.3263.21_10.38x.1157.04L
- Build Number 4.19.401.11 CL304164 release-keys
- Custom TWRP Recovery & Unlocked Bootloader
I just received the sticky notification telling me to OTA update to Sense 6 ( Update # 5.11.401.10). My question is: what happens if i OTA update my One? Will it soft/hard brick? How do i manage to safely install the update? If there isn't a way to install it is there a way to flash some features of it singulatim?
Thank you all in advance.
PS: if the answer is NO to all my questions, how the hell do i remove that annoying notification from my not panel?

You need a stock recovery and locked bootloader to run the OTA. You can get it from this thread [Collection][GUIDE] HTC One Stock Recoveries. Find your stock recovery from the list, download it and follow the instructions in the OP.

are you sure the /preload apps are the one specifically from your version (4.19.401.11) ?
also set permission correctly to all these files (-rw-r--r--)
well, all file patched by the ota are MD5 checked by the updater script, if any file have unexpected content (file was modified or missing), the update installation will abort and you'll see that red triangle with the exclamation mark.
like yatindroid said, unlcoked bootloader doesnt matter.
you need stock recovery from the 4.19.401.11 version
all files to be patched must be 100% stock (from 4.19.401.11)

[OTA] Developer Edition 4.4.3 update zip

This thread is provided solely as a link to the HTC provided 4.4.3 OTA update zip. This is for the HTC M8 Developer Edition. It will not work on an M8 running carrier firmware. This OTA should work on a GSM (T-Mobile or AT&T) M8 that was fully converted to the Developer Edition. Neither I nor XDA Developers bare responsibility or liability for any damaged or bricked phone. You flash or update your own device at your own risk.
Method 1
-Download the OTA here Join Copy with this link and we both get an extra 5GB of storage!
-Download also mirrored here
-Copy it into /sdcard/Download (This is where it downloaded to for me)
-Enter recovery (You must be on the HTC Developer Edition Stock Recovery)
-Hold Power and Volume Up for about 4-5 seconds and release so that Recovery Options pop up
-Apply update from sdcard and find the zip location
-Flash the OTA update
-Re-Root if so desired
-Profit
Method 2
-Download the OTA here Join Copy with this link and we both get an extra 5GB of storage!
-Download also mirrored here
-Copy it into your fastboot binary directory on your PC/MAC/Linux machine
-Power your device into the bootloader and enter fastboot mode
-Run a terminal/command prompt for fastboot and do "fastboot oem rebootRUU" your phone should boot into the HTC black/gray logo.
-Run a terminal/command prompt for fastboot and do "fastboot flash zip yourzipname.zip" replace "yournamezip.zip" with whatever you rename your OTA package to.
-Re-Root if so desired
-Profit
