If it works the same way as the previous OTA, you just flash supersu.zip in recovery after taking the update and you have root again. I haven't personally tried it yet so hopefully someone else can chime in to confirm that's how it would work.
EDIT: just tried this and that's exactly how it works. If you're s-off and take the OTA, just flash a custom recovery afterwards, then flash superuser.zip and you'll have root access.

Or just flash a ROM based on the new OTA, once us DEVs get the ROMs updated.
unless you want to stay on stock with root.
then you are perfect.
-----------
it is confirmed though that if you have S-OFF you can take the OTA and keep S-OFF?
Wonder why the delay on the OTA then.
also wonder why they'd give us this useless update, sure Android 4.3 is great and all, but we are running HTC Sense UI...
Why the hell didn't HTC update THEIR Sense UI!?
Sense 5.0 sucks compared to 5.5
HTC actually finally listened to the users on Sense 5.5 and added in great features including blinkfeed on/off toggle, No Do Not Disturb Mode (really the ONLY thing I wanted outta this update)
and no option to re-order the quick setting tiles on stock.
Lyapota did a great job giving us the re-order MOD, but it's just upsetting to me after the wait, really the only new feature I've found is the opportunity to separate ringtone and notification volumes.

I just did this myself. When I got my One a couple of weeks ago I went from stock out of the box to unlocked, S-OFF, and rooted with rumrunner. I just restored the stock recovery through adb, reinstalled the few bloatware apps I'd uninstalled with Titanium, and let the OTA run. After that I reflashed my custom recovery, and with that I then flashed supersu.zip. I'm now updated through the OTA and still unlocked, S-OFF, and rooted.

[Q] Just took the ota update. Is it too late to root my One?

I updated to Kit Kat this morning. What are the necessary steps for me to gain root? I haven't rooted a phone since my Droid X, so I might be out of the loop on some things. Thanks for any help!!!

So why would you take the update before asking this

You can still root it. If you go into RUU mode, flash one of the older system RUU's, then get s-off before updating. You pretty much gave yourself a **** ton more steps to do it, but yes, you can.
This link has the info to flash back to an older version - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475216&highlight=s-on
You won't need the s-on / lock part of that, but you will probably need to flash one of those old system images, then use rumrunner to get s-off and unlocked, then you can update to 4.4, then flash a recovery.

Use firewater-soff.com. Use the temp root method.

If you are s-on hboot will not allow you to flash an older ruu version than you are currently on (downgrade). So that wont work. But as stated in the post above firewater will get you bootloader unlocked and s-off.

You are totally right, forgot about that feature. Goodluck with firewater. lol
Glad i s-offed and unlocked on original 4.3 lol

I rooted my One yesterday and installed some custom roms...
It was updated to the newest version, so it is possible to root it... easy ^^

So Firewater can achieve S-off with completely stock kit kat? I ask because I just sent my One to be repaired (4.3 S-off) but I have this feeling HTC will update me and possibly return me to S-on.

It is supposed to work for the newer versions. The worst case scenario is that it won't work.

Thanks, from what I have read in the S-Off thread the temp. root has in fact been blocked so I do not think this will work unless I am reading it wrong.

Weak sauce is for temp root with out unlocking or flashing super su binaries. I didn't want to unlock and only s-off but now i'm unable to. You dont need htcdev for weak sauce but it only works on the Verizon m8.

Correct. Here is exactly what I did in order. Unlocked the bootloader first via HTC Dev. Installed custom recovery and perm root via the HTC Toolkit. Then followed instructions on the Firewater link. Have S-Off, TWRP and Root now.

Did you lose the preload apps from /data/preload ?
I want to get a backup of those before I HTC Dev unlock if possible. I'm looking at the libs in system to see if I can find another one that would work for weaksauce. (I.E. it is just renamed and has the same exports)

If it's empty you lost them. I don't know their names, because without root, I can't get a directory listing.

Can't find anything that has an export for: "CopyFileCtl" which means no weaksauce on this phone. It looks like HTC Dev Unlock works fine, and so does the firewater s-off but you can't do it without flashing a recovery yet.

Can you confirm if /data/preload is empty after the htc unlock?

Barking up the wrong tree with the library. The same vulnerability exists (from what I have seen) but needs to be exploited in a different route than how the current version of weaksauce is doing it. I didn't build it for compatibility, i built it for easy of testing, as I do not have the device myself.
Dump system, upload it somewhere for me, no promises as I normally don't like to do roots for unlockable phones, but I am interested in finishing the exploit (the one I released is not "finished", as I didn't have the device when I wrote it, just the firmware).

Boot issues
Hi everyone,
I just flashed the boot.img and installed the Root_And_BusyBox.zip file via TWRP. After a reboot, my device is stuck at the boot screen (white screen with green HTC logo and red warning about development build). Apparently it finishes booting, because when I touch the screen I can feel it respond, I can even hear the unlock sound. However the screen always stays the same. Holding the power button doesn't reboot the phone either.
Any ideas how I can get this to work again?
Thank you very much!

Hi guys,
I am currently running stock rom and software version 3.28.709.5. I rooted with hassoon AIO Toolkit.
My questions are these :
1) should I unroot my device and follow the instructions to have access to OTA updates?
2) since my device version seems to be newer than recommended one by Mike, will Mikes method work with my version?
3) when people say that you can't process OTA updates when rooted and running a custom recovery, does that mean you literally cannot see any available updates under the HTC software update section? Or that you can see the update but cannot install it?
Thanks all especially Mike!

Try holding down the power button + vol. up
It's the equivalent of a battery pull, and might clear stuff up.
You'll have to hold it down for 20 seconds or so. Be patient and wait for it to reboot before letting go.

Hi xunholyx,
Thanks for your reply, I didnt know about the Vol down in this case. With my last phone it was just holding the power button.
Anyway, what I did is wait until the battery died, then I was able to get into fastboot mode again. It seems there was something wrong with the boot.img. After I flashed the stock one again it worked fine. Not sure why it didn't want to work...

I can only speak for number 3. You will see the updates, but when you try to install them it will boot into your custom recovery, then installation will fail. Only flashing the stock recovery back will let you install the OTA. After that you can flash your custom recovery again.

Hi, question:
When S-Off and Super-CID set, do I get OTAs offered? And if, which ones?
To be clear: I know how to install OTAs from here via stock recovery from SD-card, but I don't find a clear answer to the question above.

I don't use Xposed and as far as i know haven't made any changes in /system. I might have used only the SD card permission fixer app. Not sure if that affects /system.
So if I unroot and follow this method I can have access to ota updates? Even if I'm using newer software version?

You would have to downgrade your firmware to what is stock for you before getting OTAs.

You have to downgrade your firmware to match the version of stock ROM you are using (4.4.3 i presume?).
If you are worrying about getting OTAs using the new software version, then it is not stock for you.
Maybe it is me who is misunderstanding. Did you manually update your firmware? Then it is probably not stock for you.
The OTA would have contained the new firmware.
If you need OTAs, you will have to S-Off and downgrade.
Unless I was misunderstanding what you were asking.
Edit: I see now by reading back to the beginning that I did misunderstand.
I think this method will still work, but I will check to make sure. BRB

When I got the phone a week ago I'm pretty sure it was already 4.4. I processed 1 OTA, which was called the HTC Eye experience, I then unlocked and rooted using a all in one toolkit. I am now still 4.4 kitkat.
I thought the software version and firmware was the same thing?
My current software version is 3.28.709.5
And for some reason I can't see anything when I use adb getvar version-main.
I didn't manually load anything except for unlocking bootloader and rooting.
I want to process OTA in the future without unrooting but Mike the OP listed a different software version.
As you answered me in a different thread you know I'm asking about how to get my version main back.

[Q] System update HELP!

Hey XDA community,
i have recently rooted my HTC Desire 816/Virgin mobile
Currently running stock ROM
Adroid version: 4.4.2
HTC Sense version: 6.0
Software Version: 1.13.652.1
I keep getting the software update pop up for version 1.50.652.3 which i previously had before rooting
as i try update it the update is aborted
Is there anyway that i can update it and also keep my root access?
Ive tried many different ROMs although most of them seem to be inefficient as either the calling, data, or text messaging doesn't work, i would rather stick to the stock ROM until fully functional ROMs are out there.

only thing your suppose to do is just install the root,relock bootloader and flash recovery hope will work won't get aborted.....

Open SuperSU and choose unroot, flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and then take the update.
Then re-root the same way you did the first time.

I was simply telling them to use Google, I don't see were anything rude was said in that post. It was only 3 words, and 2 of them were Google...
But just because this is a Q&A thread, doesn't mean they should disregard any other way of getting information themselves.
Why should someone else have to take time out if there day to get the link, and give it to this person, when as I said, they can Google it.
