Stock Android 4.3 Rom update?

Hello! I flashed the stock google play edition 4.3 rom on my HTC One. My old rom was the stock htc sense 5.0 which I got with the phone. What I want to know is that will I receive updates automatically from my phone if 4.4 comes out on HTC One when it is released and that etc... Because I'm scared I'll need to do it via PC. Basically, if you still don't understand, on my HTC One when I first got it, I could perform a software update from the phone, can I do that with the stock Google play edition rom 4.3 if an update comes out from my phone or do I need to do it through my computer? Thanks in advance!

If you do not have stock recovery, you will not get OTA's. If your bootloader is unlocked, you won't get OTA's. If your CID and MID don't match that of the GPe device, you won't get OTA's while you're running a GPe build.
To get OTA's, your CID and MID must match with the version of software you're running (if you have an ATT CID, MID, and stock build, you have stock recovery and your bootloader is locked you will get ATT OTAs - OR you changed your CID and MID to that of the GPe device, and you're running a stock GPe build with stock recovery and locked bootloader and you will get GPe OTAs)

Pardon me for my lack of intellience and ignorance, but what the hell is that? I know OTA is over the air, but what is CID and MID and how do I know if they match? All I know is that I have a stock recovery but my bootloader is unlocked. Do I lock it and I just get OTAs or do I need to do something else? I'm super confused at this moment of time. Please feed me with more of your knowledge! How'd I find out the CID and MID?
EDIT: Also, how do I check my GPe to see if it the same as the CID or MID? Please, I don't want to go online and do it via a zip file etc.. I just want to update OTA!

Back to sense from 4.4

Hello guys, I tried the new GPE 4.4 rom flashing the RUU, and I am pretty disappointed on this update...so I decided to return back to sense...
1) A 4.3 sense 5.5 RUU zip would be great, I searched for it but I can't find nothing, anyone?
2) OR...what if I flash a sense rom on top of the 3.58 GPE firmware? is this correct to do? have I got to flash the radio?
3) OR, again...if there is no RUU and I can't flash a sense rom with radio on KK fw, I think I have to flash 3.62 fw with radio and a rom...no?
I like clean things, because of this I ask for a RUU, is better wipe everything and clean flash...all in one and ready to go...thanks in advance!
Cheers

The firmware and radio is mainly for stability issues and some optimizations. if your device is s-OFF you can flash new roms doesn't matter if they are sense 5.5 or aosp or gpe editions. If you want to return back to 3.64 fw hboot 1.55 you can find that in the RUU mega thread in the HTC One Android sticky section. when flashing the RUU make sure you have super CID or flash the correct versions or else it will not let you force flash it.

If you convert to Developer Edition (3.22.1540.1), you will have 4.3 and Sense 5, but 4.4 with Sense 5.5 will be released as an OTA update in a few days. I'm sure OP knows better than to use superCID. It will prevent you from receiving OTA updates. Always use the proper CID for the firmware you're using (unless it's a custom ROM or something that you wouldn't want to do an OTA on). If you convert to the International version (3.62.401.1), you will have 4.3 with Sense 5.5, but be waiting until January for the Android 4.4 update. There's no real difference between the two. They're both world-wide variants, but the Developer Edition gets updated well before any others.
For Dev Edition, change CID to BS_US001
For International, change CID to HTC__001
For Dev Edition, MID must be PN712000
For International, MID must be PN710000
To flash from GPE, you may need to downgrade your Bootloader first. It was a nightmare for me getting off of GPE until I figured that part out. I assume you're already S-Off. Sneakyghost provided 1.44 bootloader can be downloaded here http://d-h.st/qfc

[Q] Updating Sense

I've been on Lollipop GPE ruu for a few days but now gone back to Sense (one of the few I guess!!!). I had to go all the way back to JB 4.1 ruu as anything more recent would not install either through a flashable ruu zip or exe.
Anyway, that's not the query I have.
To get back to Sense 6 and a 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 rom, is there an easier way than having to use system update and load every OTA through the phone? This is going to take me hours as there are six or seven large OTAs between 4.1 and 4.4.3.
I am s-off, super cid and downgraded to hboot 1.44 before I flashed the Sense Europe ruu.
Thanks.

restore 4.4.3 nandroid stock in TWRP, and flash its related firmware in RUU mode.

Thanks for that, now that was simple and easier than hours of OTAs through the phone!

[Q] Stock Recovery for CID: SPCS_004

Hello, I have been searching for about 2 months trying to fix my issue and I have finally decided to give in and seek some assistance from this wonderful site.
Current Setup: HTC One m8 Harman Kardon, S-On, Unlocked Bootloader, CM11, TWRP 2.7.0.2 (Sprint)
End Game: S-Off, Running GPE Lollipop.
I believe I need to return my phone to stock in order to use Sunshine to S-Off and update my firmware so that GPE Radios will work. I have installed the stock Sense 6 ROM 4.4.4 (Wireless not working) but now am trying to install an OTA software update. (Currently on 3.30.654.2) From what I understand I need to install the stock HTC Recovery, however My CID is SPCS_004 and I can not find a recovery for that. Also, what is the process that I should follow when flashing stock recovery, Do I flash recovery and then install the OTA? Will I need to lock my bootloader? I am so turned around in this process that I don't really know what Direction to go in, any help is greatly appreciated.
tl;dr: I need a stock recovery for HTC One m8 Harman Kardon (CID SPCS_004) and can't find it anywhere.

I have finally figured it out!
For others having this issue that may stumble upon similar issues. I focused on returning my phone to stock.
Flash stock HTC Sense 6 4.4.4
Flashed stock recovery 4.16.401.10
I then locked my bootloader
Ran RUU 4.20.654.10
HTC then accepted and Ran the OTA
I am now on Sense 6 running 5.0.1 with stock recovery and a locked bootloader.
I will be making a back up (saving it to my google drive to avoid this issue in the future) and flashing GPE.
This can be closed if need be.

[Q] Firmware update & S-OFF

Hi everyone, I currently have an HTC One M7 running Android 4.4.3 on ViperOne 7. H-BOOT is 1.54 and phone is S-OFF. I have a couple of questions regarding firmware update and latest Android versions:
1) Is there an official update from HTC to Marshmallow? I was thinking of unrooting the device and updating to Marshmallow if that is the case. From what I've read the Marshmallow ROMs on xda are not very stable. What's the latest official update for unlocked M7? On the HTC website (http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/#device-content) it says it's Marshmallow.
2) Can I get S-OFF and update my firmware using a Mac? I could not find a guide specifically for this. I think I am currently on 2.24.401.1.
Thanks!

The latest official version is Android Lollipop 5.0.2 with HTC Sense 6
If your phone is already S-OFF then it will stay S-OFF forever, unless you turn it back S-ON manually using the appropriate fastboot command. Upadting the firmware on a mac isn't a problem but flashing the latest RUU (if you want to update firmware and software) will requires a Windows PC since it must be done using htc_fastboot.exe (not the regular fastboot) which is, afaik, only available in .exe for Windows.
