OTA Updates

I am thinking of rooting the One, however having received the OTA update for the camera I would like to know if rooted would theses updates (and 4.2.2 when available) be able to be received and installed ?
Thanks

If you're rooted you can't receive OTA.
For receive OTA you need a locked/relocked bootloader...
Say your rooted but on the stock Rom,Can't you use "OTA Rootkeeper" ?

If you have the bootloader open (unlocked), you can't receive ota update.
With Evo 3D and One X is so.
I think is the same for the one...

What if you're on the dev edition that comes with an unlocked bootloader?

I don't know.
But i repeat, i had Evo 3D and with an unlocked bootloader no OTA.
Same for the One X that i have now, because my one will arrive in some hours.

That would suck if the dev edition couldn't get OTA updated. But I highly doubt that is the case. We'll see soon enough (hopefully).

Theoretically, dev don't need OTA support.
Dev have ruu and source code for kernel...

HTC One Unlocked Official 4.4 OTA Update

So today I received the 4.4 KitKat OTA on my unlocked HTC one and was wondering if it possible to switch run time to ART? Is this developer option available on the Android 4.4 Sense 5.5 Unlocked HTC One?

The option is hide
It's a decision by htc...
As mentioned by Guich above, HTC haven't made the option visible.
There's a mod which will enable it here but, judging by the comments in there, it doesn't work yet. I definitely suggest keeping an eye on that thread as I doubt it will take long before it's working correctly

Any news on 4.4.2 update for the Developer Edition?

Today the HTC One Sprint started receiving the 4.4.2 update, sounds strange given that the Developer Edition and the Unlocked devices are still on 4.4. Any news on the 4.4.2 update for the Dev Edition?
it's being pushed to my supercid

Hate to say it then but you might have to wait for your current firmware to be updated. Do not try and downgrade!

What is the latest OTA?

Hey guys. I am new to Sprint and new to Htc One HK edition. I have a question though. What is the latest android version?
When I booted the phone it was on 4.4.2 and did some ota and the last one was 4.4.3 I see online that there is 4.4.4 but my phone is not giving it to me. IF 4.4.4 was out for HK edition when was it released?
The latest official Android version is 4.4.4. Software version for the HK M8 is 3.30.654.2. It was released at the end of October.

You can try the RUU. You can find it in the second link in my sig, towards the bottom of the first post. Follow the directions for the manual installation. If you've unlocked your bootloader you will need to relock it prior to running the RUU.
