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?

But then I'm back to stock when I unlock. I'm better off just running the RUU so I get 100% back to stock

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

And on another carrier ??? Just wondering.

As long as your device has the stock ROM, yes you will receive the OTA update even it is unlocked.
To successfully install the OTA, you need the stock recovery.

Yes, if there is an update for your device. Make sure you enable all the apps that you disabled if you did that before. If you did not disable any app, then you are good to proceed the update

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.

HTC One M8 International (Unlocked and S-Off) is not updating to 5.0.1. Please help.
Do you have the right stock recovery installed?
Did you modified the system files in any way?
Files like build.prop or platform.xml?
UniversalKID thanks for reply. I didn't make any modification in any file and how I know about the right stock recovery?

What do you mean not updating? Are you waiting for an OTA? Since you are S-Off, I'll assume you are running a custom ROM. It won't happen unless you are on stock.
But since you are S-Off, just update your firmware, and flash a Lolly ROM.
I want to use stock lolly ROM but through OTA downloaded 5.0.1 but at time of installation, I am not able to upgrade on lollipop.

Do not tell someone to S-ON when they're not 100% certain they're stock, plus you don't need to be S-ON to update.
OP, can you get a shot of the actual error you're seeing? Up to now you've not really described the error very well

How to upgrade htc one m8 unlocked and S off from 4.4.4 to 5 lollipop.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
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
Thanks for reply. Actually I got OTA update for lollipop but at the time installation, it is giving error after going in TWRP recovery.

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.
According to a tweet by @llabtofer, lollipop is rolling out for Taiwan useres. Android version is 5.0.2 and unfortunately the update doesn't include sense 7 which will be available for our device but with Android 5.1.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B21aRK6c7mFWRTJ5OGpoS0cxdUU/edit?usp=docslist_api
I'll go back to stock for a couple of days to get the official update as soon as it gets released for my CID.
Can anyone upload lollipop rom??
I am not able to update from update notification. I think this is the reason that I restored my phone which was bricked from stock twrp stck backup. In order to update lollipop, I restored the stock kernel and recovery but it doesn't work. There is no way except someone upload backup or skydragon rom. :crying::crying:
Hopefully someone can capture the ota and upload it!

To go back to stock I restored my First nandroid and then flashed stock recovery which I took from the ota zip.
Bootloader is unlocked, rom is unrooted because I made the backup as soon as I installed TWRP and before rooting.
You might want to double Check what you say in your second post because my device is unlocked and I don't see any viettel stuff in it. CID is HTC_044.
