I have an AT&T unlocked and rooted HTC One (M7) currently running Android 4.1.2, I understand that since the device is rooted I cannot upgrade Android or receive OTA upgrades, is there a manual way to do this without re locking my device?

Not sure if this helps, but you could always try flashing a stock kitkat ROM, now that you're rooted/custom recovery. There's some on the Android Revolution HD blogspot, under downloads

use the same methods you used to get Google Editition to update when a new OTA comes out, youll get a ROM here before the OTA is even shown on your phone
Hi!
I have an HTC One M7, which has an AT&T logo on the back, but it works with all the carriers.
Here are my questions:
What are the lastest Android and Sense versions for the HTC ONE M7?
Where can i download the official versions of these updates?
Since my HTC is unlocked but it has an AT&T logo in the back, should i install the versions for Unlocked phones or fot AT&T ones? I don't want to brick it.
Thanks in advance.
Also, when i go to software updates, it says my phone is udpated, even tho im on android 4.4.2

As it is an ATT version on a stock rom it will only get updates from ATT. This is why it says it is up to date.
If i use a ROM meant for unlocked phones on my phone, will i brick my HTC?
Thanks
I just got a good deal on att m7. I was able to unlock the bootloader from htcdev, rooted it, installed TWRP 2.8 and S-Off. HBOOT version 1.55. I did not flash a custom ROM (afraid it's not compatible even though I want to try MaximusHD). I am still on Android 4.3 and I believe the update to 4.4.2 is available. I haven't tried OTA using an ATT sim, if I do and the update is available, will I lose root? is there a way to update without losing root? sorry, newbie.

You can't use ota update with a custom recovery and you'll loose root after an ota update which is not really an issue. Root can be achieved in less than 2 minutes.
since your phone is s-off you should convert it to a Dev edition using the 6.07.1540.2 RUU to get rid of at&t software and then you'll be able to use ota updates even if you're not on at&t network.
My phone is currently an AT&T HTC one m7, running sense 6.0 on lollipop 5.0.2. Can I still root this phone? If possible, what is the best way to do it? Thank you.

So the procedure for rooting my phone hasnt changed even though its currently on lollipop?
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!
