[Q] Upgrade 4.3 to 4.4.2 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am new here and just started to learn a bit about android.
I have an AT&T HTC One M7 that I bought in US. I bought it with version 4.1.2 on it.
I upgraded it to 4.3 sense 5 (I don't exactly remember how...).
Now I'm out of US and want to upgrade it to 4.4.2 sense 6 (build 5.12.502.2) and don't know how to do it.
When I'm trying to do it via the software update i'm getting the message "No update is available...".
Can you please tell me what should I do? What file should I use?
Tnx very much

at&t phones must be connect to the at&t network to receive ota updates.
you could upgrade to 4.4 (sense 5.5) using the 4.18.502.7 ruu and then flash the ota update manually (flashing the update manually require s-off)

or you could flash any 4.4.2 sense 6 roms

OK, what is "HTCOne-32GB-ATT-5.12.502.2-TWRP-stock-unrooted" version file (~1.2 GB) and what is "ATT_Sense6_OTAPkg" file (~670 MB)?
What is the difference between these two and when should I use each one of them?
When you told me that "I can flash any 4.4.2 rom..." - what type of file you mean?

First one is a stock sense 6 Rom zip(full Rom).
Second is a ota for you but then you need s-off ( only s-off your phone when you need it. You don't)
There are several threads where you basically can learn how everything works. There is a beginner thread in the general section. In simple words: unlock your bootloader, get a custom recovery (cwm/twrp) and then you can flash any android 4.4.2 Rom.
But first of all I strongly recommend you to read all the "beginner's flash/unlock guides". Don't do something if you don't know the consequences. You could brick your phone and it is just usable as doorstopper.
I recommend you using a HTC one m7 toolkit. Step by step you will learn how to do something.
And you don't need s-off.

Thanks Phillip.
Where can I get the exact instructions how to install each one of these files?

If you've got any further questions, just ask.
I recommend you to use a toolkit for boot loader unlock and flashing a recovery because that's the simplest way. And the rom: there is no the ONE ROM but I can recommend you insertcoin (now 3.0.5) and maximus 42.0

Now the OTA has arrived for the HTC One, i would like to head back to the clean stock htc rom sow i will be able to receive normal ota's provided by HTC.
I try to do this by installing an older RUU but get stuck at an error due to the bootloader version.

Without s-off you can't. But if you are s-off flash the 1.44 hboot in sneakyghosts. Thread about getting rid of red txt on boot screen

[Q] My HTC ONE (THREE UK Network) Stuck on Android 4.2.2 Can anyone help?

Hi Guys,
I rooted my HTC One previously but I wanted to update my phones android software so I can't much remember what I did, but
I tried to unroot it to get back to stock but I don't think I did this successfully.
My HTC One android version is 4.2.2
HTC Sense version is 5.0
am i right in thinking there are more up to date versions on the three UK network for my HTC ONE? But every time
i click check for software updates on my phone there aren't any that appear??
I'm really new to this, thank god i didn't brick my phone when i first rooted it, if i could i'd love to get
back to stock but I tried with no success, i really want to have an updated phone without having to
mess around with it anymore.
I believe i have attached an image more more information such as my baseband and kernel version.
could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to go back to stock so i can receive
updates without these issues. Thanks in advance guys
Kind regards

If I was you I would look to s-off your device, that way you can always have the latest rom version from XDA you can sometimes wait a long time for Networks to release the latest version to update over the air.
There are some very nice stock roms out there but if you don't wait to take the risk you need to unroot, restore stock recovery and relock your device I believe.
If you had made a nandroid backup before rooting you could have restored to the nandroid stock rom and simply restored the recovery and relocked.

[Q] at&t htc one update from outside the US

Hi
I bought an at&t htc one (m7) mobile from the us
i managed to unlock it with a code. My issue is that the current software is android 4.1.2, Sense 5 and the mobile cannot find the updates (guess because I am outside of the US)
What should i do to get the update
can I download the latest software from the internet and do a flash recovery? or should I flash it with earlier updates first?
Is there an easier way to update?
Can you please explain how to do flash recovery?
Many thanks

You will only get OTA if you are on ATT. To get the update if you are not on att you will have to flash the ruu or root and flash one of the zips.
since you are outside US i would recommend you to flash an international stock rom on to your phone. If you manage to install a stock rom with its stock recovery you can get automatic OTA updates and be running the latest sense 6. but it depends on how much you know and how much you are willing to read and learn.. what i would do
1. s-off
2. supercid
3. modelid: PN0710000
and then install the [SYSTEM DUMP][07.06.2014] HTC One *STOCK* ROM | 5.11.401.10 | KitKat 4.4.2 | HTC Sense 6.0

Thank you all for the replies
I sent it with a friend back to the us because I could not find simple step by step instructions
My friend made the update using the AT&T software update option
However, he did not get the sense 6 or the newest Android version
Does he need to do it several times?
Many thanks

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

Help me regarding flashing rom.

Hey people, I recently bought a Sprint HTC one M8 and the seleer gave me a unlocked one done with sim unlock helper apo. It is S-off , bootloader is unloacked and SuperCID is present so ilI want to update it to 6.0 M. It has KK 4.4.3 preinstalled. I have a number of doubts to clear-
1. Will my phone be locked again if I flash acustom rom?*
2. As I am superCID , so do I need to flash only custom roms from 'Sprint htc one m8' or can i flash a international rom too??
3. If I update my phone through RUU which the bad boyz have provided so will my twrp will be replaced with stock recovery?
4. Please just check and let me know whether the BAD BOYZ rom for Sprint HTC M8 is rooted already and also if it may network lock my phone. As I am in India can I be able to use it with any gsm sim as now currently I m doing.

1. No
2. Yes, you can only flash ROM's compatible for Sprint.
3. Yes, the stock recovery will be installed.
4. The ROM is rooted already. Flashing it should leave your phone unlocked.
Thank you so much brother. I have few more questions please clear those. Please **note** this My phones name is m8_whl , which means I have a Harmon/kordon version.
1 - So if my phone will be back to the stock then after flashing the latest firmware and RUU still my phone would be unlocked? I m stressing on this question because some noobs here have said me that it would again become locked.
2 - How will I flash BAD BOYZ ROM then? I will have to flash TWRP recovery again?
3. This is the Rom what I want to install - [/URL][/URL] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729170
4- This is the firmware and RUU what I want to flash. Can you please tell which will be best to installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
5 - I have done SuperCID, some people said that I will be able to flash any rom in my device now. Is it true?
