HTC Desire 816w OTA
I have the ota file for the 816w A5_DUG. All you have to do is unroot, flash a stock recovery, and flash it in stock recovery. Thats what i did. I made sure to make a backup before all that if screwed up, not to mention a titanium backup.

Thank you, can you tells us what rom version this is to avoid a mismatch with our phones.. perhaps you can make a backup (CWM or TWRP) and post download link.

It is the Europe ota. I won't be able to post a twrp back up until tonight because it's my girlfriend's phone

So, D816W users receive OTA yet? Did anyone tried this method?

have you tried it ??

Why not a twrp backup? Its faster and easier to use. I'll try to get both. I'm not a fan of switching recoveries all that much. I'll do it though

Here is the CWM backup, twrp is on the way.

Hi crashx86, can you please post detailed instructions on how to use this backup? I'm a newbie.

Was your device previously rooted, unlocked boot loader. Did you unroot now and received official OTA update?

Excactly. I had to unroot. The most important thing I found is flashing correct recovery. This one I found on this forum from version 1.60 was causing problems on my device, so I had to extract recovery from OTA. After flashing it everything was ok, except error with file /system/xbin/nc but workaround for this was already described.

I'm updated, my version is 816 W (unicon).

OTA updates after rooting.

Some questions.
Is it possible to do OTA update when available while rooted?
If not, will just unrooting via supersu unroot option be sufficient to update an OTA update? Or must custom recovery be removed and stock recovery restored?
If so, has HTC made the stock recovery image/files and stock Rom available?
Are there any toolkits that can help with this rooting, unrooting for HTC 816?

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.

[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

Lollipop rolling out now

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.

Guys ! help needed urgently to gofromrooted htc one m8 eye lollipop to marshmallow.!!

Helllo bros.. !!!, Actually I am having htc one m8 eye(india) on lollipop , rooted nd unlocked, but now i full unrooted it via supersu full unroot option. And stock recovery installed. I tried command fastboot oem lock . Nd still i cant install marshmallow rom . I srzly need to go to marshmallow nd come back to full stock(stock recovery, locked bootloader) . Urgent help needed !!!
Unrooting doesn't work, you need the stock, never rooted ROM in order to update. You'll need to look for an RUU for your version (if there is one) or the stock (never rooted) TWRP backup.
Locking bootloader isn't needed to OTA update, although it is needed to RUU.
Thats what i need links nd method !!!
