Hi Im planing to root my m8 but have an OTA for the future back up so here's Im gonna do please guide if I have wrong steps
1. unlock bootloader
2. download TWRP and Supersu
2.A. using ADB [ fastboot boot recovery recovery.img]
2.B now using boot recovery flash supersu [now I have root access]
3. back up stock recovery using flashify
4. now [fastboot flash recovery recovery.img]
5. I have custom recovery now [back up stock rom]
6. flash custom rom.
in the future I just restore my stock rom on TWRP then flash stock recovery that I have backed up before on flashify
then perform OTA?
is this plan good enough?

I am currently on cm 10 and I want to go back to stock for a while....I did make a backup in twrp.
what is the easiest way to restore from backup?
on another note I was interested in viper ROM but I don't think my boot is high enough...is that a big deal?
Thanks
OK I found the following but stuck on #3 and 4. I want to keep it unlocked and rooted
1. Boot in to recovery and restore Nandroid backup of original ROM
2. Flash stock boot.img extracted from RUU via fastboot (or boot.img from backup directory on SD card)
3. Flash stock recovery via fastboot (or recovery.img from backup directory on SD card)
4. relock bootloader via fastboot
5. Reboot phone and stock ROM will be recovered
6. Download and install OTA.
Then you're done.

You can keep it unlocked and rooted, only you loose the root after updating to stock JB. And the bootloader does NOT have to be locked.
When you are done updating you can easily reroot the phone. I don't see the big deal there......

Enough said. You need stock recovery to do OTA.
Try to locate OTA file and flash it manually

You won't lose root if you have stock recovery.
Do you even have a stock recovery? If so, just place it inside the adb folder, open the command prompt change directory to adb folder, boot into bootloader mode and type fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img The same way you probably got custom recovery onto the device.
Won't lose root because of stock recovery. You'll lose root because of the OTA though, but even then it's easy enough to regain root. You can then either flash back the custom recovery OR boot the custom recovery. I'd suggesting booting the custom recovery that way you can make a nandroid backup of the updated system before you flash anything again.
fastboot boot custom_recovery_name.img If you're using TWRP then it probably won't make a backup of the stock recovery, CWM/Philz will work better for the nandroid. After you made a backup(If you choose to make a backup, again strongly suggested) then you can flash a custom recovery again.

I tried the following and it solved, but all data losted (make sure backup first):
1. download latest htc_fastboot.exe (version 3.0.8a)
2. download A55ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.45.707.2_Images.zip
3. c:\adb\adb reboot bootloader, then choose download mode:
a. c:\adb\htc_fastboot flash reovery recovery.img
b. c:\adb\htc_fastboot flash system system.img
c: c:\adb\htc_fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. reboot and get ota update 1.45.707.5, let the phone run update itself
5. c:\adb\htc_fastboot flash recovery twrp_e9pw_2.8.6.0_en.img to get TWRP
6. reboot recovery and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip to get rooted.
7. download SuperSU at Google play.
I am in similar situation now with HTC One ME (aka One M9ew: rooted with SuperSu, TWRP, Xposed installed) and want to install recent OTA - few questions:
1) is your zip file the original stock HBOOT zip or already the OTA?
2) would it be enough to flash boot.img and recovery.img from the OTA (not from original stock HBOOT file) to enable the OTA update?
3) if 2) is not working from OTA, would it work from stock HBOOT file but also avoiding system.img or is it necessary to flash stock system.img in any case?
about backups:
I did full nandroids (via TWRP) and Titanium backups (saved on external SD card)
question:
4) will the restore via nandroid override the OTA update?
Many thanks!

Unfortunately,No Rom And No Update Right Now!
I'm on latest ob18. I am able to flash it, and run it once, but after reboot, the stock recovery gets Back. Any ideas?
Just Reflash twrp via flashify or adb in fastboot mode, that could be normal if u r flash an unmodified stock rom
Yep. On latest ob-Oos or H2o for me recovery stays, after instaltion of the rom. But on a second reboot, stock recovery shows and i reflash custom recovery again.
Guys I flashed latest H2OS beta over OOS Beta18 and lost access to recovery. These are the steps I followed, please help.
1. Backup current ROM (OB18)
2. Dirty Flash New H2OS version
3. Flash recovery image again
4. Reboot system
ROM booted without any problems and all my data is present but I lost access to TWRP.
Solution attempted: Reboot to fastboot and flash recovery image again, the process is successful but still TWRP is not coming up.
Please help. Thanks in advance
Stock rom always over writes recovery best way to get it to stick is flash stock zip than twrp reboot to twrp and reboot or flash mods/root

Thanks this worked
Ok. Guys my mandatory 720hrs of waiting will be up in a week. So can anyone guide me regarding flashing twrp on this device in a permanent fashion. I intend to stay on the current miui10.8.20 latest beta as I find it perfectly useable, however I do wanna use gcam ( plz guide on that as well). And one last thing, can I update to any latest official beta available through ota. ( Will it relock my device?) Or will I only lose twrp which I persume I can flash again.
Xiaomi phones have a real typical root method. I am not new to rooting at all but kindly help me through this.
One last thing.. any recommendations for miui based custom ROMs?
My device is the global variant of note 5.
Flashing twrp : put your device in fastboot mode and enter these fastboot commands
fastboot boot twrp.img
Now copy twrp.img to internal storage
From twrp recovery install twrp.img this will permanently flash twrp recovery
Follow google camera mod thread
Yes you can flash OTA update using twrp recovery and it won't lock bootloader
Just flash magisk for rooting
