Hi everyone, can any one answer my question ...!
Which ROM it have an option to HTC update..?
and
what I will get & what I will loose after update ..?
Thanks..
Question 1: the only Rom I can think of is the stock Rom.
Question 2: well you loose root and the ability to root until a new exploit is found. But I think you can still root if you are S-OFF.

I would suggest not to go for those ROMs
Hi,
I don't know where there are any ROMs that let you do that. I would advise that even if you get such a ROM, not to go for the OTA updates, as there are a lot of problems associated with it, including losing root on your device.
No custom rom will be able to update from HTC. While it will check and attempt to download and install it ends up soft bricking your device. If you want HTC updates then stay stock.

Hello everyone,
As you can see I am new to the site as well as rooting in general. This is my first HTC phone and it came stock with the gingerbread update. I've seen so many ROM's that I would love to use but can't since I'm not rooted. Is there any way to use them without a rooted phone.
P.s - I can't wait till I can root this phone to obtain free wi-fi tethering. I can't pay for that my bill is already $92 a month.

No. You need root to flash roms.
You have to be rooted in order to flash any roms my friend...
Nitpick: You need to be rooted to flash any custom ROM.
More nitpick: He needs root to flash a custom recovery/spl, but technically do not need root after that. But most ROM comes pre-rooted for a good reason.

Just a quick one.
There is an ota update available for my wifes Wildfire S which has been rooted. If I go ahead with the update will my root 'stick' or will I need to flash it again? Its running a stock rom and running 2.3.2, the update is 2.3.5.
Root will probably go......try using OTA root keeper...that might work
And i've got a quick one too
THERE IS A Q AND A SECTION HERE

Tried the ota update but all I got was a picture of an explanation mark and a green android. I'll just manually update the stock rom from a zip. I use Android revolution HD for my OneX, is something similar available for the wildfire S? I can see plenty of other roms on here but I want one that is based on the HTC stock rom like Android revolution is.
Quick one. You'll need stock recovery.

Do you mean I need to take cwm recovery off and replace it with stock? Can't I just flash a new stock rom (and maybe a new boot.img) on to it?
Hi first of all, i want to say sorry i posted it on the wrong category or if someone already ask this question, but i really need help . I am planning to give my phone to my nephew and i want to return it to stock rom , without any root. because right now i'am on stock rom but still rooted, i want to know also if there will be a difference between stock rom with rooted and stock rom without any root
You'll loose root and recovery, but your phone will still be S-Off

i am new to flash custom ROM on one V. i wasfine with the original ROM,but now some of the apps are getting very slow to get response, especially the phone, people and messaging. the system software already updated to the latest version, i have tried clean cache as well, is there a custom ROM can solve this problem, or it can be solved without flash a custom ROM?
if flash a custom ROM is a must, anyone can recommend which ROM meet my requirements?

If you updated the phone, the new radio has a problem with the kernels used by the custom roms that are being released here and the phone would constantly reboot itself when a different kernel/rom is used. You can still unlock your bootloader and root the phone, but you will be stuck with the stock rom/kernel.
You might want to downgrade the radio first by running the official RUU.
After you downgrade the radio, you can then unlock your bootloader and root without having any kernel problems. Something about the updated radio that comes with the OTA update ruins any custom rom/kernel installation.

You don't have to worry about downgrading radio... your device is a GSM as most of us in Asia.
I do not how to downgrade. Previously was using Samsung galaxy 3 which is way simpler to flash custom rom without unlock this and that. I am just afraid brick my phone. Anyway I just downloaded an app called contacts + so far it solves my problem like a charm

Hello first post here and i'm still a bit of an Android noob so here is a dumb question, I have just rooted my HTC One M8 using TheUnlockr All in One Kit method and my question is what ROM am I running? (I would link but new here) When you Root a phone does there have to be a custom ROM installed to have SuperSu on the phone, or is that all rooting is, just installing a custom recovery and installing SuperSu. For me the phone seems like it is just running the stock Sense ROM but I have been looking into flashing Cyanogen mod, and I want to know what I am currently using in case I want to get rid of Cyanogen. Sorry if this is confusing and stupid but yea. Thanks!
You should still be running stock ROM

Oh okay, so if this is the case shouldn't I be able to unroot, install the OTA update and then reroot or is this a no no?

You would probably have to relock your bootloader to update. Just wait for fenny to update his Stock+ rom in the development section. It'll have the OTA update baked in. Then you don't have to worry about unrooting and re-rooting.
