Hello everyone,
i bought an htc 820u recently and in the settings > about, software update is missing. Therefore i cannot upgrade to lollipop, that is my main problem.
I think that the only solution would be to install another stock kitkat rom so i can do the software update. i am used to flash samsung roms but when it comes to htc i know nothing. it's been 4 days i've been searching desperately but i cant get any tutorial to flash a kitkat rom. i managed to get a solution where it says to restore the kitkat rom through a twrp backup. i told to myself ok, i made a search on how to get twrp recovery and to my disapointment i find out that i need to unlock bootloader.
Once more i told to myself ok and go forward trying to unlock bootloader but i can't figure out how to do that correctly. All that struggle only to get a lollipop update, i'm really tired of that i'm losing all my time with this. If anyone can help me that would be appreciated. Feels really discouraging to look for something that much and not getting any results wow...
I managed to do it on my own finally after so much time. Thanks to ale those who saw the post and decided NOT to help. Topic closed.
820 flash

Hi everyone!
I recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my m8.
I tried using firewater to "s-off" my phone and unfortunately, it did not work out. The way I understand it, I cannot install stock ROMs (such as the 5.0.1 GPE) without "s-off." Now, I want to unroot my phone and stick to waiting for the OTAs to roll out instead.
I followed the instructions in the "returning to stock" thread and noticed that I have no version main (see attached image). I looked around the forums and saw that the advice was to flash the latest TWRP version. Since I'm stuck with a phone that I cannot update, I'm trying to be careful now. Can anyone please confirm if flashing the latest TWRP will bring my version main back?
The noob in me also has a few questions/requests as well:
1. Since my phone is rooted, I cannot receive OTA updates and upgrade to lollipop once these updates roll out?
2. Please tell me which files to download to return to stock. Just trying to be really careful this time around.
3. Lastly, is it also true that I can only install custom ROMs once have rooted? As to stock ROMs, I can't install them until I get "s-off"?
Thanks a lot, everyone! Cheers!

Thanks for the reply!
Do I have to flash the latest TWRP version before proceeding?
Hi, first of all I want to say that I am relatively new to android and therefore only have a basic understanding of everything. My desire EYE is currently on 4.4.4 rooted and have been having problems upgrading it to 5.0, I know I have to unroot and return to stock in order to be able to flash the stock recovery and be able to then flash lollipop on there. Problem is whenever I flash one of the stock 4.4.4's found on here superuser installer is still there (even when I tell to TWRP to not install it) and when I got to the bootloader is still says that the software is Modified so am still unable to flash the stock recovery and get lollipop.
Can anybody help shed some light on this problem and possibly help me fix it?
Hi there,
I have found I was able to update using the procedure written in this topic. Could you see if that helps you?

Thanks for your reply but have already tried this and when I tried booting into the recovery menu it gave me the red triangle because I have modified system partition, and all my efforts so far to change it to official have so far been unsuccessful
In fact tried it again and it worked this time, however when I try and download the update on my phone a message pop's up saying my phone can't be updated because the software is modified and not official HTC firmware

Have you unlocked your bootloader ?
No not too sure how to do that. Any good threads you guys reccomend.
Many thanks
So I know this is scary for you and because it is something new, therefore be sure that you want to live with the responsability if something goes wrong.
Now, the next forum thread tells you how to flash an already rooted image BUT, and this is very important, this works only if you have the version 10c installed (Check in About Phone>Software Version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765
If you have the latest version of the software (20a) the best thing is to unlock your bootloader, void your warranty in the process, and flash a custom recovery. After that, you just need to flash the SuperSu zip file and you will have root.
To flash custom ROMs, just access recovery and flash the zip file of your ROM.
I'm using the unofficial CM13.0 and works very good for me, but I do miss the official camera app.
Thankyou very much for your advice okarr. Will look into this
Hi All
I've searched the forum but nothing seems to relate to my question so here goes.
I have upgraded so am looking to sell my M8. Before I upgraded I rooted the phone but have not flashed a custom Rom so is still on Sense 7.0 and Android 6.0. I don't mind selling the phone as rooted but I obviously wish to remove all of my personal data. What is the best/easiest way to do this? Apologies if this has been asked many times and I have missed it.

Run the appropriate RUU for your device to erase all data from your phone.
What does it say next to "OS" in your bootloader? With that information I could direct you to an RUU download for your particular model of M8
Hi its 6.12.401.4 thanks I will have a hunt for a guide. Was going to leave it rooted but I think a full wipe will be better now.
Hey there everyone was wondering if anyone could help me out. So I rooted my htc desire 816 about a year ago and an update for android appeared on my phone and i stupidly attempt to download it and install it. Well long story short it broke my root, but didnt install the update either. So my phone has been stuck with the need to update notification for a while now. I attempted to just do a factory reset but that didnt work either.
So now i would like to either unroot it back to stock rom or maybe upgrade it to the CyanogenMod. The problem is i dont know which CyanogenMod to download and I cant seem to find the stock rom for my phone. Its the dual sim A5_CHL virgin mobile. Can anyone help me out or point me in right direction for either option? Im not sure If i could download and install the CyanogenMod with the way it is now.
