OK first thing I was asking you to see if you did a Nandroid Back of your Bell Stock Rom that you might need one day....but that won't work now cause your not stock completely........
Secondly if using firewater and gives you WHELP....... IT'S not going to S-Off.....so your SOL.....so now if you wanted to sell your phone and try another to get S-OFF...this is where your Nandroid Backup would of come in handy....<<<<

See for any device to run a Custom ROM S-OFF is not required.All the custom ROMs have root access by default.You can install Custom ROM in S-on devices.To install Custom Rom all you have to do is have an unlocked bootloader (which you have as you have said it!) and a custom recovery through which you will flash the custom rom.

Stuck on 4.4.2 or what?

So I got my m8 htcdev boot loader unlocked, with twrp, rooted, S-on, 4.4.2, only to realize that in order to flash ViperRom I gotta update my firmware. Not exactly sure what to do. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. What software? Any particular reason you're just not updating via the OTA, 4.4.3 is already out for what, 2 months now? Also, why not do a search for info on how to do firmware upgrades? [2014.09.07][GUIDE] FUU and Firmware flashing

I attempted to do the ota but it didn't show up and for some reason I have to wait 24hrs before checking again. Is it okay to do a stock ota update even though I have a custom recovery with root?

No, you must be stock. Root is fine, you'll lose it though but you can flash it back afterwards. Recovery on the other hand needs to be stock.

Alright. So can I just flash the stock recovery again and it will work?

Correct, assuming you made no other changes to the system, or didn't make changes to build.prop or deleted apps like Facebook, Twitter etc. If all those are "as is" when you got the device then yeah, only flash back stock recovery and you're good to go :good:

Haha alright thanks a ton! I was totally lost with what to do. I just have one last issue. When I attempted to flash the stock recovery through fastboot I got an error about "target max download size" would you possibly know a solution to this?

No, sorry I'm not familiar with that error

Seems to be plenty of hits in there. I'll have to read up on it myself as well :good:

Alright. Could it be possible that the ota was pulled? I read somewhere on an android central thread that AT&T recalled the update because it caused battery problems

that's possible, but after full unroot, you'll still have your custom recovery..
after flashing stock recovery you'll have to relock bootloader too

Please provide stock recovery file
