If there is an OTA on your version, than yes you can update that way, which will also update your firmware.
Stock ROM and stock recovery are required to OTA.

A random bug, and isolated incidents (I've seen a couple of similar reports as well).

This on the other hand, I can virtually guarantee will break your WiFi.

So i should restore my stock 4.4.2 , and ugrade to 4.4.3 with stock recovery
after that i can flash 4.4.4 custom rom ?
or i should upgrade to 4.4.4 Ota also ?
will upgrading Ota make me capable of flashing 4.4.4 custom roms ?

Flashing a 4.4.4 ROM while on 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 firmware will result in broken WiFi (and possibly very long boot times as well). You need to be on 4.4.4 firmware, its simple as that.
Return to stock, OTA to 4.4.3, than OTA to 4.4.4. This will put you on the current firmware.
Or just s-off. I think someone on here mentioned that the sunshine devs will accept gift cards as payment for locations that don't support PayPal.

Bootloader being LOCKED or RELOCKED is not a requirement for OTA.
You need stock ROM, stock recovery, and that is all. Root is okay, and unlocked bootloader is okay (but LOCKED or RELOCKED will also work).
You sure LP has rolled out for your version of the M8? What version is it, and what region are you located?

No, you do not want to do that (install a 5.0 stock ROM with a current 4.4.4 setup). Reason being, your firmware will not be updated to Lollipop firmware.
What you want to do, is go to the stock backup thread, find the stock 4.4.4 ROM and stock recovery for your CID. Restore stock ROM and flash stock recovery, then OTA to 5.0. OTA will update your firmware. This is assuming your CID has rolled out Lollipop.

I there people,
I have my device s-on mode but it run ICS and now i want to update to the new android version but mine isn´t s-off and now i when i try to put any rom (already test with Insertcoin and Viper rom) get always some issues in wi-fi and stuff like that. Is there any way to install lollipop rom without s-off or is there a simple way to do it?
Regards
This phone never had ICS (Android 4.0), it released with KitKat (Android 4.4), is that what you mean? You have an M8, right (not another phone)?
If you do have the M8, depending which carrier/region version, most can be returned to stock ROM, stock recovery, than you can OTA to update your firmware (which will then allow current custom ROMs to work correctly). Or some variants have RUU, so you can relock the bootloader and RUU to Lollipop to update the firmware.
Hi there,
Sorry, is the Kitka version that i mean. i was using the Insertcoin 4.4 and now install the viper version of lollipop and get issues in wi-fi....

And you will encounter that issue on every single Sense Lollipop ROM until you update your firmware by one of the methods I suggested in my previous post.
hi eeveryone, I have the xtc one m8 branded 3 UK, unlocked, and wanted to know if the official Lollipop update is out yet from 3, as for a technical reason (s-off), I have to wait for the official firmware update to 4.xx before updating (if I remember now I'm at 3.xx)
because i have on board an unofficial ROM, I don't want to risk to go back to official just to find out that 3 UK has not yet released the update. Technical help on the 3 UK website is basically useless...
many thanks

Should have posted this in Q&A ...
To answer your question, yes .. 3 UK already on lollipop with version no. 4.20.771.2
hi again, long time since.
i would like to upgrade my phone to latest lollypop as it is starting to playing up a bit and need a bit of help. been reading on various threads but i'm a bit rusty on how to do it. just done a nandroid and titanium backup of current rom if things go wrong.
at the moment this is what i have
CID H3G___001 (three uk)
- custom rom android revolution hd 22.1
- android 4.4.4
- baseband 1.22.2133xxxxx
- build n. 3.28.401.9
i found this nadroid backup for my phone,
2.22.771.5_ckpv5.zip
would it be alright to just flash this in recovery, then get official fw update OTA and then, when on the latest fw, reflash the latest custom rom?
or should i flash
One_M8_3.28.401.9_odexed
thanks for your help

What is your hboot number?
Does it say anything after OS on the bootloader screen?
You need the stock nandroid that matches your firmware (hboot, etc.). Then after you restore that, install the corresponding stock recovery in order to OTA. After OTA, install TWRP again, and the desired LP custom ROM.

This won't help you. Its the unbranded Euro stock ROM. You need the 771 stock ROM, to match your CID in order to OTA.
Stock Recovery
Dear friends,
I have an HTC one M8
Android-5.0.1
Network Provider- Three Republic of Ireland
Bootloader status- Unlocked
S-ON
CID-H3G__001
I am trying to do an OTA-4.25.771.6
I was on TWRP Custom Recovery
I tried to reflash to stock recovery to do the OTA and unsuccessfully tried the below mentioned Stock recoveries from XDA developers.
stock+recovery+1.54.771.5+recovery.img
and
stock+recovery+1.12.771+recovery.img
I see a Red triangle with an exclamation mark when I try to run the Stock Recovery.
Can anybody suggest any solutions
Many Thanks

Those recoveries are way too old to work, it needs to match your current firmware (hboot, etc.), which sounds like Lollipop Android 5.0 (those are Kitkat Android 4.4.2 recoveries).
I assume you have the stock Lollipop ROM? Since you need the stock ROM (in addition to stock recovery) to OTA. And trying to install the recent Stagefright OTA?

You need to install 4.20.771.2 stock recovery or the one that from OTA 4.25.771.6.
And make sure you have a non-rooted stock 4.20.771.2 ROM running on your device

Dear CKP5
Many thanks for the reply.
Do I need to unroot my Device which is already on Stock Rom to do an OTA.I have'nt messed with any default apps that came with the device. I am already receiving the notifications to do an OTA on the device.
I could'nt find the stock recovery.Can you please give me a link to the same.
Regards
Definitely you need a non-rooted stock ROM.
If you unroot your ROM, most likely it won't work either as the root itself change some files.
Restore the system part only from a non-rooted backup to avoid problem. You can keep your data.
Install stock recovery then do OTA
Check link in my signature for all files that you need.
And FYI .. this OTA will upgrade your system to 5.0.2 but unfortunately the stagefright fix only fix 6/7 vulnerabilities
I am a newbie from Sweden. Got help with rooting and installing twrp v2.7.0.2
Want to change my android 4.4.3 to 6.
What about firmwere?Does it come together with a new rom. Think I want Wolla or LeeDroid.
Please help!
Take your time and read..
Every rom has instruction on what minimum firmware is required.
Leeroid is great, you wil need to be on 6.xxx firmware for best results..

No, firmware is never flashed with a ROM. And 4.4.3 firmware is too old to run any of the current ROMs. So you need to update firmware.
It would have been best to update firmware while still stock, as you will need to go back stock in order to OTA and update firmware. That is, unless there is an RUU for your version M8, in which case you still need to relock bootloader RUU to update, then unlock again, and flash TWRP again.
