Update and reverting to stock recovery

Ho guys
I recently rooted my phone so I could move files into my sd card (heard it was fixed with the last update?) and had to install a custom recovery.. Seems like I can't install the update with a custom recovery on.. Would going back to stock recovery fix this? Would I still have my phone rooted? Would it reset my phone again doing so? Thanks in advance

Hi, if you go back to stock it will reset your phone and yes, you can root a stock recovery. if you unlock your bootloader you can permroot your stock rom,
here is the perfect guide how to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618

Since OP has custom recovery, they must have unlocked the bootloader.
My advice to the OP, since you are already bootloader unlocked, custom recovery, and root; just flash a stock rooted or custom ROM based on the updated software. Going back to a stock is a step backwards at this point, not forwards.

Same problem

Hi, I'd like to update my rooted M8 to 4.4.3 as well and don't (yet) want a custom ROM. I searched a bit and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994
Can I use this odexed file? And do I need a stock recovery? If yes, can I use this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228648

No, you do no need stock recovery to flash the linked stock ROM. You flash this with custom recovery.
Odexed will work. If you don't understand the difference between odexed vs. doedexed, than do a search and learn the difference, and what it will mean to you.

Thank you.
After doing my research, I think I'll pick de deoxeded version, as customization is easier. But is there really a noticeable difference in speed? I will most likely just install xposed modules, should I therefore pick deoxeded or do they have nothing related? (I didn't get what kind of customization is meant in the wikis)
Sorry for asking so many questions

Xposed should work with both deodexed and odexed ROMs; while other mods may require deodexed.
Whether there is a noticeable performance difference between odexed/deodexed, the following links saya no, with the exception of booting after clearing Dalvik:

-You can un root it anytime if you want but in my opinion if you work on custom ROMS you should have root to be good rom.
Yes you can install twrp and cwm recoveries with PC and without root same for custom roms but you should know:
Any custom recovery or rom will avoid warranty
Don't forget to hit thanks

Custom ROM without root

Hi All,
Had my HTC One M8 for ages now and love it.. previously with all my Samsung devices I have gone down the Root and ROM route but I how use SkyGo and Barclays Bank app alot and these don't work with Root.
Is there a way of installing a Custom ROM without having Root? Basically I want to get rid of all the bloatware (Such as the HTC versions of Google apps) but still want to be able to use SkyGo and Barclays.
I heavily use Google apps, My current set up is stock ROM with Google Now launcher.

Guessing you cant?

hai, Try unlocking the bootloader with HTCDev, Then flash twrp via fastboot and flash a sense based rom and once you get the rom booted go to supersu - Settings then scroll down and click Full unroot and all should be good

That's a great suggestion. Never would have thought of that myself.
But OP, please make sure that you flash a stock based Sense ROM.
A Sense based ROM with mods included, such as ViperOne, will not give you much without root privileges.
I recommend MaximusHD.

In the end I have converted the phone to GPE

Flash custom recovery and root

Exactly like you've done for custom roms: factory reset and flash OOS from recovery.
Do a first boot.
If you want to keep TWRP recovery, consider to flash it via fastboot (because in most cases will be overwritten by the official one, even if you install it after rom).
If you want to obtain root permissions, consider Magisk, because of F2FS issues with SuperSU.

Need help with picking a custom rom

So in an attempt to root my phone I screwed up and need a stock rom to revert and re-root. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/switch-supersu-to-magisk-problems-t3943471)
I can't find the stock rom for the latest HTC 10 with bell, so in order to undo the root I figure I could just flash a custom rom? I haven't done much with custom roms since I had my desire so I really need help making sure I don't screw up again.
If I am right and a custom rom will solve my issue with root being detected, what's my best option? Like what rom should I use and how should I flash it to be as safe as possible?
Any help at all is appreciated at this point, I can't even use google pay on my phone with root being detected :/

I can't thank you enough, I didn't think I'd ever find the stock rom, but it won't install for some reason.
I think this may be due to my own stupidity though. When I couldn't find a stock rom I was searching for a work around to use another, I followed some instructions to change something but I don't know what I changed and it didn't allow me to install the rom I was attempting to use so I never thought to make any effort to reverse it.
I believe this is what I did : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76879613&postcount=3059
Any ideas how I can fix that? or is that even the issue?
I greatly appreciate your help, I'm also going to update my original topic on this matter with the link.
