[Q] What are the steps to OTA update to 4.4.2 ?

Hi
I'm currently on JB 4.3 ( OS 3.62.401.1 , CID HTC__32, HBOOT 1.55 ) and I keep receiving the OTA update notifications for KK 4.4.2.
But my device is unlocked, rooted and S-OFF .
Does anyone know the necessary steps to upgrade to 4.4.2 ?
I've tried the followings:
- fastboot flash recovery a stock recovery for 4.3
- then tried the OTA update but it stops with a red triangle
- I have locked back the bootloader with ./revone -l and tried again the OTA update , the same thing happens
- tried factory reset then OTA update, the same red triangle ...
Can someone help me and guide me what to do next, please ... I'm out of ideas ?

it's probably cause you don't have the preloaded apps (because of unlock)
1- UNLOCK again!!! with S-Off you don't need to LOCK/RELOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2- install this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
(with stock recovery)
then take the OTA
DO NOT GO S-ON

You could try ARHD 51.0 which runs 4.4.2 since you're rooted and S-OFF.

Thanks a lot guys , the HTC1Guru Reset did solve my issue!

Would you be able to link me the stock recovery? I'm in the same situation. Thanks in advance.

You don't need any recovery image that tool will do the recovery for you (it has the recovery image in the kit)
nkk71 posted above the link for that tool.

what about user with HTC One Dualsim 802w and 802d ?? how to restore preloaded apps?

Which pre-loaded apps would those be? I'm wondering if I install this, am I going to lose my current settings and data?

[Q] No ROOT after unbranding

Hi,
I've just unbranded my HTC One (M7) (O2 UK) to HTC-WWE
In below order:
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP
SuperSU (Chainfire)
S-OFF (Sunshine)
CID: HTC__001
RUU Zip M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.28.401.7 Radio 4A.13.3231.27 10.31.1131.05 Release 310878 Signed
With the updates up to recent OTA
After all I have no root anymore.
Should I repeat the first 3 operation up to install SuperSU (wipe contents of the phone) or there is other way?
And another question: If I have to unlock the bootloader again, will I get OTA automatically or I should download and install updates each time manually?
TIA

All you need is to flash the latest SU binaries from your recovery.
And another question: If I have to unlock the bootloader again, will I get OTA automatically or I should download and install updates each time manually?

What? you have relocked the bootloader? If you unlock your bootloader after flashing the RUU you will not be able to install ota updates (wiped /data/preload). Unlock the bootloader then flash the RUU and leave it unlocked then you'll be able to ROOT and also to install ota updates. You will have to flash SU after each update so better just to update the phone to the latest version and then flashing SU.

OK.
That's clear.
I have latest version of the OTA already installed. I will go to install SuperSU via recovery > install (and after any future OTA). Don't need to flush TWRP again.
Thanks

Every time you get ota root will be removed
To install supersu need TWRP
Don't unlock bootloader with HTC dev again it will remove much data
You have S Off you can use other method "unlock bootloader with S Off" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
Then simply install TWRP install supersu
Flash stock Recovery again
Don't lock bootloader unless you're going for service your phone for hardware issues

I've done everything that way, thanks.

ATT M7 unlocked via htcdev and rooted: BAD FLASH

Hey guys. So I flashed Android 4.4.3 (KitKat) - latest official HTC One 6.09.401.12 (WWE) firmware (84.x series) to my Att HTC M7. I unlocked bootloader and rooted prior to that. Installed TWRP recovery. I didn't back up my original OS nor do a nandroid back up.
When I first flash it was 1/2 ok. I was able to get to the setup wizard on the rom. Then it reboot to recovery. All I can get is bootloader and recovery.
in order for adb sideload or just adb to work the steps I have to take are peculiar. I stumbled on this today. I have to connect my usb cable when the M7 is off. I boot into the bootloader via *power button and *volume down. Then I select fastboot, then I go back and select recovery. When it boots to recovery then I touch advanced and my device shows up. Also my OTG connection works fine.
So I downloaded the stock version odexed. I get errors on install. Actually I get errors trying to install any rom now. I've tried to unzip and rezip using winrar. Any clues as what I should try now? I wanted to post a pic of my bootloder info and the error message but alas I dont have 10 post.

You won't receive ota update on an at&t phone if you are not on the at&t network.
What is your custom recovery version?
I would achieve s-off using Sunshine so you can fully convert your phone to another version which doesn't require a specific carrier to receive update like the WWE version (x.xx.401.x) or the Developer version (x.xx.1540.x)

So I achieved s off using Sunshine. Changed cid and mid to corresponding t-mobile spec. Flashed the RUU for t-mobile from the HTC website download. Now when I flash the RUU I suppose it takes out my recovery and flashed a stock recovery?
I had TWRP but now I have some weird recovery. Last time I went into it and I rebooted out it factory reset my HTC. Pain in the ass more than anything.
I was thinking I could flash a ROM and see if it performs as or better than the RUU. The only benefit of using the stock tmobile is OTA updates right?
Oh and since I don’t have twrp anymore should can I reflash that? I would like to make a backup of my OS before I start screwing around.

Yes, a ruu will re-write all stock software and firmware to the phone (system, recovery, kernel, radio, bootloader, drivers, and so on)

You can't do much using stock recovery except a factory reset. Stock recovery is needed for ota updates but if you are already on last version you don't reallt need it anymore and you can reflash twrp over it.

If you already flashed the latest t-mobile ruu (lollipop), you will not receive any more ota updates. Lollipop 5.0.2 Sense 6 should be the last version for the M7. At least flashing the ruu was not a waste of time since it upgraded your firmware; newer custom roms requires the latest firmware to work properly.

Yep I would relfash twrp and make a backup before trying other toms. You can always revert back to stock using the same ruu if you don't have a backup.

[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.
