I have rooted with EVO3, but I have not done anything else. Can I receive the update or do I need to go back to stock? Can I receive the OTA with the root at all?
Thanks in advance!!
Hi Everyone,
This is a noob question. I rooted my phone and deleted a few apps. Now i want to get the latest update of Tmobile.com. What's the best way to get those updates? Do i go back to stock rom or just update my phone via KIES?
Thank for your help.

legit way is via KIES
Hi,
I've searched but not found answers to my questions, so I apologize if these are repeats. Like many of you, I've gotten the notification that version 4.3 is ready for my Verizon HTC One. I used RumRunner originally, so I am rooted and have s-off, but aside from that I'm running the stock ROM. For the record, I have run a few scripts (from these forums) and apps ("NoBloat") to remove the Verizon bloatware, so I'm not exactly running "pure" stock.
Here are my questions:
1. What's the best way to get the phone to stop bugging me if I want to stay on 4.2? Can I turn off the notification? I'm not sure which app controls this, so I'm currently unable to get it to stop notifying me.
2. If I wanted to try downloading and installing the OTA update (I am running the TWRP recovery), where would I find the downloaded file in the recovery directories, and what is the file name? Is there any risk to doing thison top of my current ROM? I kind of don't want to bother with restoring to stock, then updating, then re-rooting/etc. (Hence question one.)
Thanks in advance for any advice, folks!
Cheers!

Answers: 1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574265
2) YOU MUST be STOCK, and the stock recovery to take the OTA assuming you are on the .15 version. Here is the link to the stock recovery: http://goo.gl/OdVbX6
You can flash one of santod040's stock odex roms right on top of your current ROM. NO need to wipe data.
Some advice before continuing, make sure you are not only s-off, but bootloader unlocked as well ( believe me it will save you a headache ) Here how WITHOUT HTCDEV
Then swap out the recovery, then take the OTA, flash back your recovery, then flash superSU to the ROM, rooted! That's how i did mine.
I have tried to sift through the forums like most ppl reccomend to find the answer to my question but i just saw too much advice from both ends. So I am asking, someone to help a total step by step needing noob- HOW do I sim unlock my Note 2 i317m running rooted Android 4.3 for FREE? I've read downgrading to android 4.1.1 via odin is a nightmare and I've heard all you do is backup baseband then downgrade via odin ? I;m not sure how to backup a baseband nor do i know where any android 4.1.1 files remain! Please if anyone can help me out i again apologize for the repeat question but i am not as savvy as most of you and need a little extra guidance!

All the information is provided here. Take a deep breath and go one at a time. First you need to downgrade back to 4.1.1. Once you got 4.1.1, then you unlock and re update to 4.3. I've done it minus the downgrade.

Thanks for the advice but that doesnt help my case. I know what i have to do i just don't know the steps. I had a gaalxy s4 that I borked. I had android 4.3 on it and tried to flash android 4.1.1 by odin and it instantly failed and left me with a bricked device. couldnt get into recovey or anything. How do i actually flash back to 4.1.1 successfully? Then how to i unlock bootloader? Can you link me to some steps? Also how does one back up a baseband via TWRP!? soo many questions im just too new at this!
Hi Everyone
I've got a HTC One M8 which I bought off a forum which was already rooted and runs GPE.
Everything has been fine, but I've been receiving the notifications to update to Lollipop, which I'd like to do. I click on the update and it downloads it. When it goes to install the update the phone reboots and boots into TWRP. I click on install and select the update zip. but I then get an error, please see the attached images.
Can anyone shed on any light on whats going wrong?
THanks in advance fo all replies
1) Its the update to 4.4.4 that is rolling out for AT&T, not 5.0.
2) You need to re-install stock recovery in order to install OTA. Also, the system needs to be stock (stock ROM). Root is okay (although you will lose root). Unlocked bootloader is also okay.
Hi thanks for the reply.
I'm based in the UK, so not sure that applies to me?
When I bought the phone the bloke said it would receive updates OTA. I'm hoping someone can explain the error messages in getting and help me upgrade to 5.01.
Thanks
Is it the AT&T version? This is the AT&T specific forum section.
Sorry, no it's not an AT&T version.
How do I go about getting it moved to the correct forum?
Thanks

I'll notify the mods to move to the correct section.
My 2nd point from Post#2 above still holds. You can't install an OTA with custom recovery (TWRP). You need to install stock recovery for your version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Also need to restore to stock ROM, if its been altered by root in any way.
