I just rooted my HTC One last week and yesterday I got notified of an update for my AT&T HTC One. Tried to install the update but failed. Do I need to unroot my phone before I can install the update? Do I even need that update? Should I just install a custom rom forget about the update form AT&T?

If the new update is Sense 6.0, my suggestion is you should accept the update. It's a huge leap forward from Sense 5.5. For achieving OTA, you need to be complete stock. You can return to stock by flashing RUU (exe or zip).

Hi everyone! I'm new here, and forgive me if this is a repost, but I had rooted my HTC one M7 to Cyanogenmod using the CM installer and loved it but I'm wanting to go ahead and get it back to stock to get Sense 6 when HTC puts out their official ROM. Anyway, I ran through fastboot and relocked the bootloader which it shows and I flashed using HTC's RUU file. I'm on version 4.3 with 5.0 currently and am trying to update to 4.4.2 with sense 5.5 but everytime I go to settings then AT&T Software update it says the system is up to date. I've tried clearing the services framework and I still can't get it to update. I'm not sure where else to go. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi I'm running stock but I'm rooted. How can I accept an OTA or get the latest software available for the Sprint M7?

Flash the stock recovery. Take the OTA. REflash custom recovery. re-root.
Or, you wait until the firmware and update has been decrypted and modified, install those and keep your root from start.
Moreso for us S-OFF folks, but every time you update via OTA, the chances of you to get S-OFF become a tad slimmer.

Doesnt mention Eye Ex. But it says Google security so i guess its 4.4.4
I have yet to receive it. But I am constantly pushing the check update button
☝same here
The HTC Software Updates page shows that the Eye Experience update for the Sprint variant is currently in the certification stage. I don't think we'll get it until a day or so.

EDIT: For some reason, the 3.30.651.2 update info was removed from the Sprint Update page.
that is weird
Good news guys! OTA will be rolling out later on tonight!

Take a look through the thread in the link below. You'll need to reinstall the stock Android system recovery before you can take the OTA, and also need to be running a stock rooted ROM. However, since you're S-off you can install the newest firmware and then install a ROM based off the latest update. Beats having to go back to stock and re-root your phone

OTA updates must be installed incrementally (you can't skip a version).
Flashing an OTA update manually also requires S-OFF, otherwise it must be done normally from Settings --> About --> Software info --> Check for updates.
If you are not using an AT&T sim card, you will not receive any OTA updates and you should either achieve s-off to flash the ota update manually or convert to another version that will not require an at&t sim card.
If you don't want s-off then you can update your phone using the latest at&t RUU.
hey thanks for replying ....so what do you suggest pleaseeee
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!
