OK re read the post , so it's rooting that will break OTA , not simply installing twrp, correct?

lets see if i can simplify it
TWRP 2.8.5.0 = OTA broken
TWRP 2.8.6.0 = OTA broken
TWRP 2.8.6.4 beta = system locked read only long enough to make a system backup (used below)
TWRP 2.8.6.4 beta + SuperSU = OTA broken
using fastboot flash system system.img to restore your system backup allows OTA again
you also have to flash stock recovery to regain OTA ability (same time you restore system)
Excellent thanks that clarifies it perfectly for me

Hi guys,
I have recently bought the HTC m8 and I have some question you might be able to answer..
- I want to receive OTA updates, but meanwhile I want root access to be able to use titaniumbackup/adblocker/etcetc..
- Is there any chance to do this?

Yes, so long as you keep stock recovery, stock ROM, stock firmware, stock CID, stock MID, you will be able to.
So I will need to do the following then:
- unlock bootloader
-boot into recovery then nandroid backup with recovery.img
- custom recovery+root
-s-off maybe?
And then flashing the stock recovery back and I will have root and ota...right?

That was easy thank you :
- Unlocked
- Then booted into Phil'S Touch recovery
- Nandroid backup (with recovery)
- Install SU binary
- S-OFF with firewater and thats it.
I kept everything stock, so in theory I will be able to get ota's but of course after every update Root has to be "installed" again. and booting into custom recovery will be also needed.
Thanks!
I just got this phone yesterday. I rooted with HTCDev and then I got S-Off with firewater and SuperCID. Ever since I installed Android Revolution 8.1 it reboots constantly. I have wiped cache, did a fresh install even tried to flash CM, but the reboots are still there. I am on 2.xxx.xxx framework and have TWRP recovery. Any help? I think it might be related to memory leaks, but I am not entirely sure.
Did you do a full wipe before install.

I always do. No matter the rom I am flashing or where I'm coming from. My OCD doesn't handle dirty flashing at all.
Have you tried to flash img file from your Rom via adb. Did you make a backup ?

Are you on Verizon ? I don't know much about HTC One M8 variants but it seems some complication there. Maybe a restore to Verizon ROM/firmware can help you.
Anyway .. here is the Verizon thread if needed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8
You mentioned that you installed ARHD 8.1 ROM ... which firmware that you installed ? I know you are not a noob but sometimes people confuse the different of a firmware and a ROM

I'm not entirely sure. I will keep this thread updated, if I have anymore random reboots. I figured just doing a clean install would be a good start to resolve the problem; it always is.
Just had my first reboot. I think it might be due to greenify. Does anyone have experience with this app and the HTC One M8
Greenify wont cause reboots. Are you running a custom kernel and undervolting by any chance?

Try to downgrade your firmware to 1.54.x.x...or if you stick with 2.x.x.x try ARHD 9.1 to see if it makes any difference
So I got my m8 htcdev boot loader unlocked, with twrp, rooted, S-on, 4.4.2, only to realize that in order to flash ViperRom I gotta update my firmware. Not exactly sure what to do. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. What software? Any particular reason you're just not updating via the OTA, 4.4.3 is already out for what, 2 months now? Also, why not do a search for info on how to do firmware upgrades? [2014.09.07][GUIDE] FUU and Firmware flashing
I attempted to do the ota but it didn't show up and for some reason I have to wait 24hrs before checking again. Is it okay to do a stock ota update even though I have a custom recovery with root?

No, you must be stock. Root is fine, you'll lose it though but you can flash it back afterwards. Recovery on the other hand needs to be stock.
Alright. So can I just flash the stock recovery again and it will work?

Correct, assuming you made no other changes to the system, or didn't make changes to build.prop or deleted apps like Facebook, Twitter etc. If all those are "as is" when you got the device then yeah, only flash back stock recovery and you're good to go :good:
Haha alright thanks a ton! I was totally lost with what to do. I just have one last issue. When I attempted to flash the stock recovery through fastboot I got an error about "target max download size" would you possibly know a solution to this?

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.

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.
Hi everyone,
I have a dev edition m9. I updated to marshmallow via OTA earlier today. The update is working fine. I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and that's working fine as well. But when I try to root the system, it gets stuck on the HTC logo. I have tried it with SuperSU 2.46 (stable) and 2.52 (beta). Both times, I had to reboot into recovery, wipe cache and restore the system image backup to get my system back in working state. Please help as I need root access. Thanks.

It talks about flashing a modified boot. I haven't seen any boot image corresponding to the M9.
U said u just got the ota today ,correct?.... Just keep checking in for it ....I'm sure it'll be available in a week or two
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA Free mobile app
@bigduke$: That's not really the solution for that problem. The M9 doesn't get rooted the same way the Nexus 5x does.
@slvrhwk: You need to use SuperSU 2.65 and TWRP 2.8.7.1-Beta1. Android M needs system-less root that's why your system didn't boot.
