I was wondering the steps that you need to go through to be able to update from 4.3 to 4.4? I have a ton with samsung but not quite sure for HTC. I am currently running the badboy rom without S-OFF. Can I just flash badboy 4.4 over 4.3 or?
Thanks,

I'm on 4.1.2 currently - Stock - But haven't received the OTA update yet. (My carrier hasn't pushed it yet, sounds like its still a month away)
Is it worth unlocking the bootloader, putting a custom recovery on and flashing a 4.2.2 rom? (Android Revolution as I want the stock experience) Just for the updates 4.2.2 brings?
I've used 4.2.2 on other phones I have (Xperia ZL Stock and Nexus 4 running PA 3.5) so I'm aware of what the stock upgrades are, but what does 4.2.2 bring to the HTC One over 4.1.2? Any improvements?
I want to try Android Revolution but have been hesitant on doing so - I have a Rogers Canada version of the HTC One LTE (Same as AT&T). Am I able to flash International roms like Android Revolution on my phone and maintain LTE?
I am S-ON, but I understand Most roms still use the Stock Kernel correct? So how would I go from 4.1.2 Stock rom to 4.2.2 Android Revolution as far as flashing? Do I need flash the boot.img first? (Doing it with S-ON is what I'm implying, yes I know there are S-OFF methods currently)
Hi all! I have a wifi nexus 7 (unlocked and rooted with smoothrom installed) if I want to go to 4.3 do I have to update the bootloader to 4.23? If I do update the bootloader will I still be able to use a 4.2.2 rom before flashing to a 4.3 rom?
Thanks!

Think the answer is yes to both questions.
I've an HTC One (Unlocked) running on Jelly Bean 4.3 with Sense 5.5 but the thing annoying me is latest KitKat update is not available for my region (Pakistan) yet. Is there any way to update my device without rooting or anything else? I don't wanna take any risk!
P.S. Is KitKat faster than Jelly Bean on HTC One?

No there is no way to update your device if you don't want to do anything. If you don't want to take any risk then just don't do nothing and wait for the ota update...

Hi,
I am getting very excited about the release of the upcoming lollipop GPE.
Currently I am running Sense 4.4.4. I read that in order the get the new GPE you will have to convert your phone to a GPE version.
When would be the best way to do this? Before or after the update has stroke lightning?
I am S-off and have supercid by the way.

Hi
I think you're talking about update not about CM
The Google Edition update will be next week, it's confirmed by HTC on Twitter, so you don't have to wait so long
Android L for Sense you will get 90 days after releasing official code of Lollipop.
I advice you to flash now RUU with GPE 4.4 and update it to 4.4.4 coz I don't know if there will be RUU with Lollipop released
Regards
If you want to get 5.0 ASAP, then I would flash 4.4 GPE now and then do the OTA when it comes out.
You would or have to ?
Thanks for the advices. Guess I'll be flashing gpe today. I do hope that battery life is OK. Now I use an undervolt on elemental x, xposed to block Google services wake locks and greenify Facebook. And that has been giving great results
Battery life is ok without root and with stock kernel better then stock with sense
I'm rooted on stock jellybean 4.2, with cwm recovery. Any chance of a stock kitkat 4.4 flashable?
