Guys I need your help. I have a rooted HTC one m8 with S On and Twrp recovery . I recently recieved an update notification for Marshmallow. I tried to install it but the phone just goes in to recovery and then I have to just reboot the system . Help me ?
You should unroot, flash stock recovery and try again. If you have exposed installed or have altered other parts of the system it won't install

I did not install anything while rooted . How can I unroot and flash stock recovery ? Sorry I am new on this stuff. I was an Apple user for a long time ?
You can't unroot the rom. You need a pure (never rooted) stock backup and the stock recovery !
Ota will fail even when you only rooted it and try to unroot it. This is exactly why everybody need to create a pure stock backup STRAIGHT after flashing Twrp !!!

Get a appropriate stock backup from the backup collection threads. There is 1 in the general section and there is 1 here in the Q&A section.
Or gain s-off with sunshine and flash updated firmwares and roms

I was wondering, how can you apply the new 2.17.401.2 OTA update when your One X is rooted? The system boots in Clockwork mod which can't apply the update....

I'd just wait till it gets ported to one of the roms which honestly will save you all the hassle and simply flashing it.. Shouldn't take too long
All I did was root the device, I don't have a custom rom. It should be revertable, right? I don't want to lose everything...
flash stock recovery and use root keeper and install it

This info is correct. You need the stock recovery to apply official otas. You can get it from the link in the cwm sticky thread

Exactly what the title suggests, it keeps root for you.-
Do you mean re-lock the bootloader? Or are they talking about a separate app with the name 'root keeper'?
Edit: I guess you were refering to the app root keeper indeed. Guide for me here, appearantly: http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-...ed-htc-one-x-without-unrooting-and-keep-root/
You cannot apply OTA update on a rooted phone unless
1) You Reboot into recovery
2) Create nandroid of current ROM (ARHD)
3) Go to bootloader
4) Download boot.zip from attachments below, extract it and flash the contained boot.img inside ADB using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (NOTE: This boot.img is for base 1.29 only! Grab your own original boot.img if you're unsure or if you're getting bootloops!)
5) Restore original ROM via either 5a or 5b
5a) Boot into recovery and restore your stock ROM you made a nandroid of before flashing a custom ROM
5b) Flash a RUU that's compatible with your CID
6) After stock ROM has been installed and booted, reboot into bootloader
7) Download stock recovery from attachments below, extract it and flash the recovery inside ADB using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
8) Boot back into stock ROM
9) Perform OTA and let it finish nicely
10) Reboot into bootloader
11) Flash custom recovery (CWM)
11a) Optional: Create a nandroid of the new stock ROM you just got through OTA
12) Flash ARHD boot.img from the OP
13) Restore nandroid of ARHD you created at step 2
14) Done!

They don't have a custom Rom?

Not sure this will work with a HOX but followed this tutorial to apply the latest OTA to my wife's Wildfire S, and it worked without any issues.

Anyone know if this works? I still haven't been able to update...I get the installer, then a red exclamation mark at about 1/3rd of the update.
You must have a completely stock 1.29 install (unrooted with stock recovery) before the OTA will procede.
You could also, on the flipside, just flash a custom ROM if you've already unlocked because your warranty is void anyways, and since you have root you can easily keep all your data by using Titanium backup.
Of course though, if you don't want to go the custom ROM route you will just have to unroot and put the stock recovery back before you run the OTA, and then root again.

I've applied an ota with root before?
There were no problems? What you need is completely stock odexed rom, stock recovery for your current version and that's it. I used to think you needed a relocked bootloader, think that might just be for ruu's.

As far as I know as long as you have stock recovery it will be fine.
Sent from my HTC One X
You need stock rom (factory state), stock kernel and stock recovery.
Root can stay, you will lose it after the update. You have to root it again after if you want
Bootloader can also stay unlocked.

i need only factory reset?
No by factory state i mean that if you have removed HTC signed apps or made changes to the system it should be returned to stock.
Hi there!
I know i have to search through the forums to see if there is a post similar to the one i'm about to write now. So if there is a similar post like this out there, i have not seen it and i apologize.
An now to the core of my problem:
Basically the title is my question. I have just flashed a stock RUU on my phone and updated it via HTC's OTA, but i want to gain root and still maintain the ability to get OTA updates - Which, as far as i know, requires a stock recovery image. Is it possible to flash the stock recovery after gaining root-access and keep the phone rooted?
Yes, you flash a custom recovery to obtain root that's good, after this you flash back the stock recovery you still be rooted, the root is in the rom and not in the recovery !
So you are correct :thumbup:

Thanks a lot, that's awesome. By the way, now that i have updated to stock 4.1.1, is the root procedure precisely the same as it was with ICS; Can i use precisely the same superuser zip and unlock token i used when the phone was on ICS?
Yes you can ! Its exactly the same .... and to give you a tip :
After you flashed the custom recovery please do a nandroid backup from the backup & restore option in the recovery, if you want to change things to the rom after that you have a safe backup to go back to when you need to update or have any other problem. :thumbup:

I know, i certainly intend on doing just that. When i read the post on how to get the phone back to stock and i read the part about how to do it from a nandroid backup, i seriously face palmed myself! Back when i was still using my HTC Desire, i never considered the nandroid backup because the stock software was so incredibly bad that i never wanted to go back. But now i will, my experience with the stock software is far better on the One X.
Thanks a lot for your help
I tried to flash new firmware using the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2696282 but it doesn't work. It says it's failed; I've done it numerous times to no success. How do I update my HTC__622 to version 3.xx.xx? I checked MD5 file and it says its correct. I used the file from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696514, but it still doesn't work. I'm trying to update my firmware so I can use the latest sense roms
Since you don't really understand how to update firmware manually ...
Why don't you do the easiest way ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56544097&postcount=2736
1. Install TWRP recovery
2. Restore 2.11.708.2 nandroid backup (you can select only system and boot if you want to keep your data)
3. Flash stock recovery
4. reboot and check for OTA, let the system install OTA to 3.32.708.4
5. reinstall TWRP or any custom recovery
6. install any Sense custom ROM that you like
7.done

Just another thing, do I need to lock bootloader and then unlock later on? Do I keep my root? Or do I have to root it again?
Sorry, I got so excited :fingers-crossed: finally gonna get some lovin' from the other sense custom roms! <3
Lastly, will my root be gone when I restore this? Will my phone brick if I update it to OTA after the flashing of the zip?
Sorry again if I got too many questions! I've been dying to find a way for this

No need to relock bootloader ... never do that.
You will lose root but you can easily re-root.
You don't flash the zip ... you need to extract the zip on your PC and transfer the contents to your device TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserialno/thisfolder
Restoring a nandroid backup will not brick your device.
Furthermore, your intention is to flash the latest Sense custom ROM after your firmware is updated to 3.32.708.4 and those custom ROMs come pre-rooted, so no need to manually root it.

Thanks a lot! Finally someone giving me answers I couldn't find :cyclops:
Oh, and if at some point in the future that I wanna try out the lollipop roms such as Skydragon, do I need to update firmware? Is the firmware in that rom different from the ones in sense roms? In other words, will I encounter problems if I flash a GPE Lollipop rom?
You can install GPE 5.0 SkyDragon on your 3.32.708.4 firmware but not on lower version like 2.11.708.2
The only problem you may have is WiFi disconnected when screen-off but to some including me, this is not happening ... only for some people on some firmware.

If you are S-On you will need to re-lock your bootloader for the OTAs, If you are S-Off there is no reason to re-lock.

That was what I've been told, and have also read on other sites. For example.
Personally, I never worry about OTAs. Being s-off and flashing firmware is a lot quicker than waiting on my carrier to update.
But thanks for clearing that up for me.

After chatting with a guy from HTC, it's appear that the problem came from North American cell:
according to him, many pack operator are not compatible with the HTC One m8.
The best we can do is waiting for a stable pack... Or installing a different ROM !

That person is wrong.
The problem is that you have Philz Clockworkmod installed. You can't OTA update with custom recovery. You need the proper stock recovery, plus the stock ROM (never rooted, rooted would work and unrooting won't work).

Stock and never rooted? If you made a nandroid before you rooted (or installed a custom ROM), that will work. Otherwise you will need to restore a stock never rooted ROM from the collection.
I assume you rooted (or else installed a custom ROM), otherwise you would not have Philz recovery on the phone?

You would have to have either flashed SuperSU to be rooted, or if CWM gave you the option to root, you selected it (don't know if CWM does this, custom recovery TWRP does).
