[Q] 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OTA Update after rooting possible?/consequences?

Hi,
So I just got my first smartphone ever yesterday and been pretty much tinkering with it the whole day long (I'm very slow/newbie with these things).
I unlocked the bootloader, got a recovery image TWRP and then rooted it with SuperSU.
Since then I've made a titanium backup and nanodroid backup through TWRP of everything.
And I've been checking out a few custom roms for Jelly Bean 4.2.2 the newest version I believe? And Android Revolution HD 11.0
seemed really nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
But I found out that the OTA update Jelly Bean 4.2.2 for HTC One is coming out Really Really soon and I'm currently running 4.1.2. Is it possible for me to receive & install that update without any problems since I haven't flashed any custom roms?
Or will I need to unroot my phone, relock my bootloader and change my recovery image to the stock image? (And if so where can I get the stock image of HTC One?)
I've been on these forums like the whole day and it's very interesting and informative, but it's SO INCREDIBLY MUCH to take in. So I'm really sorry if these questions have been answered before. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
So far I love my phone though! superfast and supersmooth haha.

Well, I think you're one of the few people here who can read AND comprehend what's going on.
ARHD 11.5 is based on the official Taiwan release of Android 4.2.2; 2.24.709.1.
Decide whether you want official ROM release, which, as you meantioned, requires stock ROM and stock recovery to be able to receive and apply the OTA, or, custom ROMs, in which case, just flash the latest ARHD.

yes, inorder to get the OTA installed, need Stock recovery and stock rom.....

Thanks Guys!
Just one more question.
My current firmware is 1.29.707.16.
And the latest ARHD is based on 2.24.401.1.
Would there be any issues if I flashed it? Or is it recommended that I flash that firmware before flashing the rom?
Or do I need another firmware entirely (2.24.709.1), since I'm using the asian/taiwan firmware and not the european one.
My phone has S-off and SuperCID, if that makes any difference in the matter.
Once again thanks for all your help!

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.

hboot 1.54 can't boot to recovery.img

Hi,
I had my phone replace the camera because of the purple-tint problem, HTC upgraded my phone to HBoot 1.54 and android 4.2.2 without informing me . Anyway.
After receiving my phone, I unlocked my phone again by the official method, then I wanted to make a clean backup of my rom, so I tried to boot my phone to third party recovery image by "fastboot boot some_CWM.img", my phone just hung there. I was frustrated, if I flash the CWM.img to the phone, would I brick my phone? Before the upgrade, my phone could be booted in the same CWM image file, can I use third party CWM after upgrade my HBoot to 1.54?
Any idea? please

Since you have HBOOT 1.54, you cannot boot into recovery using fastboot anymore, you have to flash the recovery and then backup the ROM.
You flash the recovery by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
I also recommend TWRP, its so much easier to use and if you cant find it ill attach it here if you want!
EDIT: **** This will replace your stock recovery by CWM or TWRP ****

HTC One 1.54 bootloader, flash recovery.
Hey guys, new member, and thanks for the extensive information provided on the forum!
I have a related question to what the OP posted...possibly pertinent info about the phone itself:
I have an HTC One with 1.54 bootloader, it used to be a 4.1.2 with 1.44 bootloader AT&T device, which I rooted, S-OFF, CWM etc. I then realized I couldn't take OTA updates and was stuck either on 4.1.2 or a custom ROM, so I downloaded a 4.4 stock google edition RUU and installed it. Everything is good so far, but I cannot do a full backup anymore because it has the stock recovery.
My question is, can I just flash the CWM recovery, backup the phone, and flash back the stock recovery? My goal is to get best of both worlds, get OTA updates from google as well as do a full back-up of my phone.
Please advise, and thanks in advance for your input!
PS: Since the 4.4 RUU update, my phone still says "unlocked" and "S-OFF", if that matters at all.

Sure you can but the stock recovery is only needed for OTA and they don't come that often.
and your phone has to be stock with stock recovery (no apps removed).
most people just ruu back to stock for the ota... not run custom recovery just long enough to backup.

Thanks for the quick response! I think what you're saying makes sense, though I don't have a stock AT&T RUU. I'm guessing I can download it with similar firmware so I can switch as needed. Thanks again!

here's all the ruu's you should ever need
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads

Awesome, thanks again!
I looked around the site before posting this, didn't find anything specific. I have a Nandroid backup of the stock phone before I started messing with it. If I do a recovery of that image using CWM, is it the same as downloading and flashing one of the stock RUUs? I'm guessing not, but would like to know for sure. Is the difference that RUUs have firmware, radio etc, while a Nandroid backup is of the OS and SD card?

well for one thing when you unlock the booloader it deletes some system files when it wipes the phone.. so your stock backup is already flawed (not true stock). and like i said to take OTA you must have a complete Stock phone. the only real Stock phone comes from RUU. I hope this clears it up for you. And no your sdcard is not backed up in the Nandroid

Hi guys, sorry in advance for digging up an old thread!
I have an AT&T HTC One, installed the Google Edition 4.4.2 with this group's help, rooted etc.
I received an OTA update from google today (4.4.3), and while I tried installing it, it crashes with a "SET_METADATA_RECURSIVE" something failed etc. I tried it with both the recovery.img that I have from the Google Edition ROM as well as the CWM recovery.
I've searched for stuff in the forum and the only thing I found is that I may need the latest version of clockworkmod, but I think I already do...I have 6.0.4.3, which is the HTC One AT&T one. Also, since I installed the Google Edition ROM, I haven't removed or uninstalled any system apps..so my phone is pretty stock as far as Google is concerned.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I figured it out...I had to get the recovery.img from the 4.4.2 RUU, fastboot flash the bugger into my phone (CWK didn't work), and I was able to download and install the 4.4.3 with no issues. Pissed away a few hrs trying different things, hopefully this update is worth it!!!

Switching from 4.1.2 to 4.3 and installing EclipticOne ROM

So I've been sitting on 4.1.2 and 1.29 Software for a while because I didn't wanted to tamper with my root. Recently decided to update, but I want to install the Custom Rom from Hawknest:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496069
My main question is do I need to update to 4.3(Or 4.4?) before flashing in Ecliptic on TWRP or can I skip that part and simply flash in the Rom?
If I have to update, how do I update manually? Updating over the air sends me to TWRP after installing and I'm guessing this is because installing from OTA will get me unrooted. Finally, how do I know which is the correct ROM for me, he has KitKat and JellyBean as downloadables so I am uncertain. I'm guessing JellyBean, but I would like to get KitKat if possible.
My phone has:
Software 1.29.651.10
Firmware 4.1.2
HTCSense 5.0
I'm S-On on TWRP 2.6

Well what i did yesterday was go to Ecliptic kitkat from 4.1.2 just did bootloader and s_off rooted and install rexovery in rexovery did 3 full wipes (just in case) flash kitkat then the lastest modem for our sprint one niw im good and rolling

all the questions you have can be answered with bd19 frequently asked in q&a its very resourceful! also make sure you understand the file structure change after 4.1 or can have storage issues, also in q&a. imo getting s-off before doing anything would be a good starting point. good luck!

If I'm not mistaken you're also going to need to update your touch firmware as well

HTC One M8 Android 4.4.4 rooted update to android 5.0

I have a normal edition Sprint HTC One M8 that is rooted with android version 4.4.4. I am still on the stock ROM. Whenever I got the phone, about 2-3 weeks ago, I wasn't aware that 5.0 was being released to the M8. So I updated to 4.4.4 through the OTA update and rooted. After rooting the system update popped up prompting me to update to version 5.0.
Now my question, is there an official rooted stock 5.0 ROM yet? I can't find it anywhere.
If there isn't, how do I go about updating to 5.0 from rooted 4.4.4?
Thanks,
Shawn
More info: this isn't the first time I've rooted phones. I've had an HTC EVO 4G and a Samsung Galaxy S3. This is just the first time I've had stuff not go as planned.
I tried to get S-OFF, however since "firewater" no longer works, and the only other way is SunShine, I can live with S-ON.

In order to take the OTA you need a stock rom (no modifications to system) and stock recovery.
Or option 2 is you can run the latest RUU

How would I go back to stock recovery and remove root?
Same question for RUU. I've only used RUU once on my EVO 4G to reset everything. Not sure if the process is the same for the One M8 or where I'd start lol

You flash stock recovery the same way you flash twrp, root should be ok I've never done an OTA I've always been s-off.
The rom you are on should also be ok unless you removed a bunch of bloat.
The RUU will wipe your device...back up anything important to your PC.
Side note: Every time there is an update and you like custom roms most require the firmware to be updated in order for them to work properly.
Updating firmware with s-off only takes a couple minutes and a lot less hassle then if you are s-on... so I would recommend biting the bullet and using Sunshine if at all possible.

I plan on staying with the stock ROM, just rooted so I'm gonna skip S-OFF. Never had an issue with it being on on my EVO (I flashed dozens of ROMs and stuff on it).
I'm ok with RUU wiping everything. I purposely haven't put much personal data on the phone cause I knew I'd be wiping within the next few weeks.
I'm gonna go the RUU method as everything will be fresh and unmodified.
Thanks for your help!
