Update question - Sprint HTC One (M8)

When you're totally stock and a OTA comes out that upgrades the software (4.4.2 to 4.4.3, etc) does it do a factory reset?

No, a OTA update does not factory reset your phone.

[Q] How to OTA update ATT M7 with different carrier?

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

none of those 3 will files will wipe the phone
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.

[Q] Downgrading and Upgrading

Hi, if I was on Lollipop, and I downgrade to kitkat, will I still receive OTA updates?

Yes you will, as long as you are using the stock recovery. Even if you are rooted you would still get the update. But to flash the update you need to full unroot.

Motorola forum for 5.0.2 update recommends factory reset and cache wipe after upgrade.

[Q] Error during update 5.1

I have the problem shown in this video:

Perform a full reset and the error happened again .

Is your phone completely stock? That is: have you ever rooted, flashed a new kernel, custom recovery, and so on?
Since Lollipop you need to have a completely untouched system to install an OTA.
(Unlocking the bootloader does not affect the ability to install an OTA)

Are you rooted? Unencrypted? Modified? All of these will cause OTA to fail.

Try sideloading the OTA.

[Q] 5.1 update after flashing latest 22.46-11 5.0 images.

I had xposed installed and then the OTA notification came so I wanted to get rid of xposed. I just did a full reset pretty much and downloaded 5.0 22.46-11 from Motorola's website and flashed it. I noticed, however, that they incremented the release key or something from
motorola/victara_tmo/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-11/10:user/release-keys
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
motorola/victara_tmo/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-11/11:user/release-keys
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My OTA went away and I cannot sideload any OTA update files because the release keys don't match. Will I still receive the OTA eventually or do I need to try and find an old 22.46-11 image?
If you use the image from Motorola, you won't get OTA. Reflash using graffixNYC 5.0 image,you should get OTA update.
