Hi, I have an AT&T HTC One M7 with stock 4.3. I would like to update to 4.4 stock(whatever is the latest version), but I can't do OTA update because I don't have AT&T I am using a pre-paid carrier(AIO/Cricket) that uses their network.
How can I manually update? And if I do, does it completely reset my phone like a custom rom? Thanks.

Ota updates dosent reset the phone.
You can not receive ota update if you are not on the AT&T network unless you flash it manually. Flashing ota manually require S-OFF.
You could also use "close-to-stock" custom roms to get the latest version.
If s-off you can also change your CID/MID numbers and debrand your phone from at&t to the WWE or DevEd version to get future ota updates.

I'm familiar with most of this, I had a friend help me update from 4.1 or 4.2. He downloaded an ATT OTA update and just applied it to my phone somehow, I kept everything.
EDIT: How do I change it to WWE or DevED version, or if I do, does it still reset my phone updating this way?

Start by posting the output of "fastboot getvar all" but remove your IMEI and SN before posting.

if you have manually updated via OTA before your phone must be s-off. just flash my updates from here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
most likely you'll need to use the 3.xx.502 RUU then the OTApkg

Yea I checked, mine is in fact, s-off.
So I download and install the "RUU Zip M7 UL JB43 SENSE50 MR Cingular US 3.17.502.3-decrypted "
Then install the "ATT_Sense6_OTAPkg.zip"
Correct? Also, will this reset my phone or do I keep my numbers/texts/apps/etc.?

No theirs 2 OTA their flash them in order the RUU then 4.4.2 then the Sense 6 .
Yes the RUU will totally wipe the phone. If you sure you didn't loose the preload/data folder you can try just flashing the 3.xx stock recovery then the 4.4.2 otapkg you won't loose data that way

using the RUU will for sure wipe the phone, which you may need if just flashing the recovery does not work (IE: Missing files from the data / preload folder)

Flashing a recovery will not generally wipe your phone.

I have an AT&T HTC One that I converted to a rooted Dev Edition 4.3 and I've been using CWM touch. I'm S-Off and recently switched back to AT&T CID since I read that that was a better setting than SuperCID. I'm now being offered OTA download of the KitKat/Sense 5.5 update, but I'm not sure whether I should accept the download? Will it work? If not, what would happen?
Thanks for insights.

Nope. I wouldn't touch it if I were you. Unless you're using the stock recovery (and ideally not rooted), don't accept an OTA update. If you for some reason want to keep your custom recovery, you could try manually downloading it and sticking it in your phone memory to install from.
Download link from HTC: http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_M7_UL_K44....1540.1_R4_release_342621pwc1arsthngg08zv.zip
If you want to take it via OTA, you must first flash the stock recovery to the phone. You can leave it rooted if you want, but you may lose root after the update anyway. Can't say for certain since I'm running stock (aside from being unlocked and S-Off). Also, change your CID to BS_US001. There's no advantage to using the wrong CID.

Thanks. That was kind of what I was guessing. Is it possible to remove root temporarily? Given that I'm S-off, I'm not too worried about being able to get it back. I'm trying to avoid a full wipe if possible.
To completely remove root I think you have to flash a stock RUU, which will wipe your phone. If you get back to stock recovery, flash the OTA update through recovery, you should be ok. But you may need to root again.

ok you need some apps missing during unlock boot loader process
Which was at data /preload so you have to restore them like sound hound & others
How get these apk
find another HTC One with same software version install es file explorer on that
Open es explorer go to apps manager backup all apps which are HTC made like calculator flash light htc ringtonetrimmer htc sound recorder sound hound use your logic these apps are long name & version then any other apps
copy these apps to your phone data/preload use root explorer now try ota again ( if any error still there note that error & try solving same way)
Or easy & long way S Off your phone
Then just install THIS & try ota for next version & again next version until you get your desired version

Facing a similar problem but with system/app/plusone.apk, the sense 5.5 OTA had come in without any issues, only this OTA is getting stuck. I am S-ON, bootloader locked with stock recovery. To use the Guru reset tool, is it necessary to be S-OFF? My s/w version is 4.19.1540.9, there is a 4.3 RUU available on Htc dev site? Can i download it and run the .exe on a computer with my phone being BL locked, stock recovery or we can not downgrade to 4.3 from 4.4.2? I was planning to run the 4.3 .exe ruu and then OTA twice to get sense 6.

you can't downgrade with S-ON using a ruu. This is not required to to be s-off to use guru reset rom but s-off is required for the guru bootloader reset tool. There is also a nandroid backup of 5.11.1540.9 and the signed firmware in the dev edition updates thread, where you have already posted about the same issue. look at page 94

Thanks a lot alray, i did see the tutorial and to use the Guru reset tool, i need to unlock my bootloader, flash TWRP, then flash Guru reset tool and read on screen instructions to flash a stock recovery and firmware. After that, i need to relock the bootloader and check for OTA updates. The guru reset available is 3.22.1540.1 and as you say it does not require S-OFF.
What would be a safer way? To use guru reset tool and then do OTA updates till the latest firmware or install the 5.11.1540.9 firmware, i have absolutely no clue on how to flash stock firmwares, if it is done through custom recoveries or stock recovery.
Thanks

don't lock bootloader until your work finished you don't need it unlocked bootloader will help you if you got some difficulty / error
Guru rest Rom not required s off but if ota over that version should be same with your current version if not ota will fail for example your current version is 5 you use guru reset rom with version 3 then you will update it with ota version 4 it will fail because S On will not let you flash firmware 4 over 5 so keep that in mind use guru reset with same version of your current version

Darn it, which means i cant use Guru reset as my current version is 4.19.1540.9 and there is no reset tool available for it. Dont want to play around with S-OFF etc as am planning to sell the phone and worried if something might go wrong during the process.
The last option available is to then use a 4.19.1540.9 but one user had said some where that4.xx RUU's are not working.
I tried but could not find a 4.19.1540.9 nandroid backup as well, will try the RUU and if it does not work then maybe wait for htc dev to release 4.4.2 RUU from their end.
Is there any way to do this without rooting?

unlock bootloader
flash twrp 2.6.3.3
boot phone in recovery
make a backup of ''Boot'' only (this is only to generate a backup path on your phone)
when completed, reboot phone in the OS, connected on your computer
browse your internal storage, go to TWRP/Backups/Your_Phone_serial/Some_date/
delete files in this folder (these are the file backed up previously to generate the backup path above)
extract the 5.11.1540.9 backup archive and copy all the files in the backup folder (previously generated) of your phone (TWRP/Backups/Your_Phone_serial/Some_date/) should have around 11 files (some .win .md5 files and a .log)
go back in twrp, select ''restore'' , select ''some_date'' folder, select all the partitions and swipe to restore
after the restore is completed, in twrp go to ''wipe'' then ''swipe to factory reset'' do not ''format data'' or ''advanced wipe''
reboot phone in the OS
if you want to update the firmware after restoring the backup:
relock bootloader
reboot bootloader
flash the firmware
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot oem flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot oem flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
flashing firmware can be dangerous so be sure you understand what you are doing first, there is a lot of threads here explaining how to flash firmware.

if you have any other question please pm me, open another thread or post in the dev update thread so it will be easier for @yatindroid and @viv_1980 to continue troubleshooting viv_1980's issue.
there is also another thread that discuss the exact same issue you are having ''unexpected content'' of /system/app/plusone.apk on 4.19.1540.9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53381299
Maybe you could try what I said in that thread before messing with backups and firmware.
Problem solved
Thanks a ton to @alray, @yatindroid and @SaHiLzZ, i finally downloaded the 4.19.1540.9 RUU from Android ruu, connected to windows 7, used the .exe file and it smoothly flashed the stock firmware. After it, updated OTA to sense 6 and this time the update went smoothly and my M7 is now updated to sense 6. It is completely stock now, will easily get OTA updates in future and i wanted to set things right before selling it off so that the future owner does not face issues with the phone, not every one is a member of Xda .
Thanks guys

This is the only one I can find, you flash it like a custom ROM and would then just have to update as normal after its setup, this will return you to a very early stock rom.
FIRST MAKE SURE CID AND MID MATCH..........

It says it supports OTA's when available, when you flash it make sure you select stock recovery when it gives you the option, otherwise OTA's will fail.
Hi everyone,
I've just bought an used HTC One M7 that was locked to Three UK but I managed to get it unlocked via a code from ebay. The phone is on 4.1.2 and the recovery mode shows S-ON, LOCKED so I'm guessing its all stock. The CID is H3G_001 and the OTA updater keeps saying that I'm already on the latest update. The phone isn't rooted either. I've already tried resetting to factory settings but that didn't help. I've had a look at RUU's but couldn't find anything for Three UK/H3G_001.
Could anyone tell me how I could get the Sense 6 update? I've tried clearing the data/cache in the updater and google services framework but still nothing. I don't want to tamper with the bootloader etc if possible.
Thanks,
Anthony

Updates are dependent on the carrier for carrier locked phones. It is possible that H3G has not updated their phone. A lot of people will S-OFF their phone to change their CID & MID to get the updates quicker by going to either the Int'l (.401) version or the DevEd (.1540) version which are updated directly from HTC. Your version is .771. For carrier updates, you must remain on the carrier's network to receive them. Check with H3G to see if an update is available and when or if you can expect to receive it.

Hey there, thanks for your reply.
I've had a look around the internet and I've found the OTA update zip for my phone from 4.1.2 to 4.2 (1.28.771 to 2.24.771), then another one OTA zip for 4.2 to 4.3 (2.24.771 to 3.62.771). However the issue now is, I can't flash it using the stock recovery as I have S-ON I believe and it throws back an "invalid operation" error when I try to apply an update via internal storage. I'm trying to get S-OFF but I'm not having any luck at the moment, as ideally I don't want to mess with the bootloader. I'll give it another go tomorrow, given up for tonight.
The phone is for my brother and he's fine with 4.1.2/Sense 5 tbh but would like Sense 6 features if possible.

OTA update is flashed in stock recovery. Here is a post explaining the OTA process. This post might explain what you are missing for the OTA to work. I think you must select from "internal storage" instead of "sdcard" when you install the OTA.

Hey , im new to rooting and the forums so sorry if somethings are not properly explained.
I recently managed to root my uk variant m7 unlocked to any service with the latest twrp recovery.
I have recently found the venom rom which i would like to install to futher customize my rooted device, but i need to upgrade my android to 5.0.2 and i am currently on 4.2.2.
in the toolbar it says 'system update avaliable' and after installing it says 'system update ready' and im guessing this will bring me to 5.0.2 firmware. after clicking on it it reboots my phone and for some reason enters the recovery. from this point i do not know what to do.
so to summarise, i need to upgrade my m7 from 4.2.2 to 5.0.2 nut when i do it enters my twrp recovery and i do not know what to do
system details:
HTC One M7 UK variant unlocked to any service
rooted with SuperSU
Stock rom (4.2.2)
Stock kernel
Thanks

Because the ota update is supposed to be flashed from stock recovery.

You can't update your phone in its current status. You need stock recovery installed, unmodified /system files and /data/preload which is deleted during the htcdev bootloader unlock process. You'll probably need to use a RUU or something else.

Unfortunately, this is not really relevant info, post the output of "fastboot getvar all" command, remove your IMEI # before posting.
so i have to unroot my phone
great this is going to take a while :/
if i factory reset my phone will it remove the bootloader and root?

What? You might want to read about what a bootloader is
A device without a booloader is called a paperweight
and root?

A factory reset only wipes user data. Root files are stored in /system partition which is not affected by a factory reset so short answer no, like I said you'll probably need a RUU or something else (stock odex rom/nandroid backup/guru reset rom) to reset your phone back to stock. Post the output of "fastboot getvar all"

Its possible to download the update elsewhere and install it through twrp recovery?
If yes, where i can find these updates in zip form?
If not, what's the simple option to install the update?
thanks

If your phone is S-off, you can download the Ota zip files and install them incrementally (can't skip a version) using stock recovery. That doesn't change the fact that all files in /system and /data/preload must be unmodified.
Imo, the simplest way to update if your phone isn't stock is with a RUU. If your phone is stock, reflash stock recovery and update with Ota, if it's stock and soff you can update with Ota zip files if you can find all the ones you need.
