Did you flash a 4.4.3 ROM without upgrading firmware? That's your problem. If you are s-off upgrade your firmware, if not you either live with the slow boots or go back to stock and wait the OTA from HTC

Another possibility is that ART is activated. Takes hohes to boot since I switched from Davlik.

Just flash a TWRP or CWM backup, don't know which recovery you've got and optionally stock recovery to get back to stock.

[Q] How to update Android 4.0.4 to 4.2.2 ?

Hi today i want to update my kind of outdated htc one x.
I rooted my HOX like 3 years ago because i had it sim-locked and wanted a different provider. I unlocked it and than (i cant remember why) relocked it and now unlocked it again. Because i want to install a custom rom.
I looked for some roms and deciced i wanted to run Viper X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443) which runs on Android 4.2.2. I'm on Android 4.0.4 Sense 4.1 because i havent used this phone for a while.
I can't find any proper guides i tried this one : http://wccftech.com/update-htc-one-x-to-cm10-1-android-4-2-2/ but getting a error status 7.
Any help appreciated!
Oh and im only on hboot 1.12

Return to your stock rom & recovery and update first. That rom does not work on 1.12

As i already posted ! And why relock ? No need to relock at all .....
Just go into settings - about - software update menu
I am sure to update stock software you need to relock the bootloader

Just flash stock recovery first and as long you dont modified anything, just rooted, the ota will go through. I heard you might loose the root after ota.

You already in stock 4.4.2 just rooted and twrp. All you need is stock recovery and checknthe updates and receive the ota. Check the xda thread if its true that once you accepted the 4.4.3 ota, you will loose root.

i can root in 4.4.3 ???
I was on the original 1.12 firmware, but here was my process.
I relocked my bootloader, used the 1.57 RUU to return to stock. Updated to 4.4.3 with the OTA, went back through the HTC Dev unlock process to unlock my bootloader, then flashed TWRP.
From there you can install a custom rom or use TWRP to inject root to the stock rom.

No. I had to go to the HTC Dev site and put in new token info to get a new binary.

Please help with TWRP access

I recently converted my unlocked m8 to a GPE and everything works perfectly. I'd like to flash the Skydragon GPE lollipop rom, but when I go into the fastboot screen and select recovery I get put into a screen with the red triangle dead android. I can reboot the device back up as normal, but can't seem to get around this into TWRP.
Any suggestions?
That's stock recovery, flash twrp then it will work

If you flashed TWRP before RUU conversion to GPE, the conversion overwrites recovery with the stock recovery.
If you flashed TWRP after the conversion, maybe it just didn't flash properly like you said.
That's definitely the case. I'll reflash TWRP. Thanks guys!

Obviously I'm still a little new at some of this. I know to make a backup before flashing the Skydragon gpe 5.0 rom, but I'm curious; whenever Htc releases the gpe ota update, could I flash back to my current state and then do the OTA? Would there be any real benefit to doing that?

[Q] Applying VM 816/a5_chl OTA update to rooted phone

There has been an OTA update pushed to VM 816s for about a month or so. I know that normally we cannot apply this to rooted devices because of the tampered flag being set off and not running the stock recovery. Is there any way beyond running RUU and getting to complete stock to apply the update? If not, does anyone know how you can extract update from an updated phone?

Unroot through the SuperSU app and reflash the stock recovery.
Please Delete. I screwed up and double posted.

I tested this last night, you don't need to re-lock the bootloader. Just unroot, flash stock recovery, and apply the update. No need to lose data.
can't get it to work

Hmm.... I updated via OTA and I looked at the version number.
I used the RUU and looked at version number and they were both the same though.
Can I reroot after update
For some reason it's being a pain and not allowing me to install the update. When I flash the recovery and attempt to boot into it to for a system update, all I get is a red triangle with an exclamation point through it

The easiest way is to use the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" thread and update your firmware. Then simply flash a Lollipop ROM.
Again, that's the simplest way. The hard way is to return to stock, stock recovery, have no system changes and see if you can OTA update.

could also flash a RUU if feeling adventurous

You need the stock recovery to install an ota.

How I can flash lollipop on my HTC one? Can you guide me or share some useful link for installation.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I told you already... Post 2 .
Use this guide to update your firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
Then flash Lollipop based rom. If you like stock, try Maximus HD. It's very close to stock.
?
Or, look for your stock recovery here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
And flash it. Bug your system must be in tact. If you've uninstalled any system apps, or have xposed, then you need to look for your stock nandroid and flash it.... Then the stock recovery.
Or as said above, find the RUU for your device. Your current version will restore you stock, then ota will work. Or the Lollipop ruu if it's available yet.
