Question about 4.4.4 OTA and root

Gentleman (and why not, ladies):
Installed yesterday a stock GPE 4.4.3 version on my M8. I'm S-ON, stock recovery and rooted.
Just received the info for the 4.4.4 OTA update. My CID is also already set to GOOGL001.
Is it risky to just let it do it's thing? I know that I'll lose root, but is there a problem besides that? Will the process complete sucessfully?

Anyone?

Why don't you just flash the pre-rooted 4.4.4 GPE ruu?

I believe that S-OFF is needed and Firewater didn't worked with my phone.

You think s-off is needed for OTA? Why would you think that?
As long as your are stock ROM and stock recovery, the OTA install will be fine.

You can't change CID without it. Have you tried Sunshine S-Off? Firewater doesn't work anymore.

Tried sunshine but need to go to a more stock rom i guess, on sinless gpe at the moment its 4.4.4 and working fine?
Not as good a battery life as i had before on viper but new viper will install but no wifi

You need the latest firmware with the new 4.4.4 roms. Read the viper site very carefully and it explains why

[Q] how to update to least lollipop

hi all
my friend tried to update his phone, and all he's got is:
the phone can't boot into recovery. stuck on "entering recovery"
insert coin rom (v 3.0.8) works fine, except the play store!
i tried to flash a new recovery with no success. finally i flash a twrp by captain throwback version 2.8.0.6, and wow it works!
now, i'm wanna to update his M8 to least android version.
fastboot getvar all:
m8_ul
s-on
CID: HTC__K18
MID: 0P6B10000
HBOOT: 3.16.0.0000
version main: empty
settings >> about >> software information:
android version 4.4.2
sense 6.0
InsertCoin version 3.0.8
build number 1.54.401.10
can i simply flash 4.16.401.10 firmware.zip, least TWRP version, ARHD 34.0 (don't worry i don't forget the boot.img )
or
it's better to return to stock and perform software updates?
by the way,
the build number in settings, is the current firmware.zip that installed? or the firmware that the rom based on??
thank's

i read somewhere that its safer to flash firmwares in row, start at 1.54.401.10 then the others in the x.xx.401.xx line
you can also try simply to flash the latest RUU. maybe you get some wifi errors.
i was on 3.xx.401 firmware and installed the 4.x DEV RUU without any errors
yeah the build number in settings shows the rom base.

ok, thanks

so, i cannot know the exact firmware he has..
i'm asked that because the safest way to update is going back to stock. i found only 1.54.401.5 NAND Backups.
i'm afraid to flash the wrong nand backup..
how can i know which firmware he has?

If you want to go the save way Try the 1.54.401.x RUU.exe from the thread. Then you should be fine to apply the otas
Dont be to afraid from flashing wrong files in most cases your phone wont get bricked it just dont boot up

Version main is empty because of the older recovery. Try to flash TWRP 2.8.4.0 again.
You can't flash the firmware zip without being S-Off. Sunshine is the only way to do it now, and it costs $25 (totally worth it). Or you could return to stock and take the OTAs. (stock ROM and recovery plus unmodified system partition)
The build number in settings is in fact the ROM base, and not the current firmware version.

first thanks for your help!
i will try this tomorrow .
on my m8 I bought sunshine (totally worth it) agree
but before i have s-off i'm flashed new firmware.zip (you have to relock your bootloader)
s-off lets you to flash firmware.zip without Signature and without relock
look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

Another part of the problem is that HTC updates incrementally. You can't just leap frog from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1.
Once you get S-Off, you can flash a firmware zip from this thread. @Sneakyghost makes his firmware packages so that you don't have to flash each update one at a time. You can just jump to the newest.
But.....from the readout on the earlier post, it is WWE and there is an RUU for that. It is signed, so it should work. It will only get you to 4.4.4. (3.28.401.9 is the newest on this thread). You could try to flash the Lolly firmware after you have updated to this.

Ruu would be the best way, BUT there is another way, in the vzw Android development forum , @santod040 has a Roms radios and firmware thread. He has all software needed including stock rom, kernel, recovery, etc, everything. You could flash back all stock and take the OTA. That's what I did . I was S-Off, bootloader unlocked, rooted, and all I had to do was flash his stock rom and recovery and then I was able to successfully take the OTA, and still kept S-Off, unlocked bootloader, etc. After the update, just had to refresh super SU and TWRP.

RUU for cid 621, TW .709

Hello, been looking for a way to return to stock xx.xxx.709.xx with cid_621. I'm on developer firmware atm and the only way to return is by flashing a RUU, but unfortunatly I've not been able to find any. Any help would be highly appriciated. Doesn't matter which version just a RUU for 709 works. Thanks

I assume your device is S-Off, if not how can you have Developer Edition firmware on it, right ?
Why do you need a RUU to revert to stock ? You can simply restore a 4.24.709.3 backup and its stock recovery then do OTA to 6.12.709.4
You can get all the needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
If you insist to install RUU, there is one untested but a very old RUU, means if it is successful installed .. you need to do a lot .. a lot of OTA up to 6.12.709.4
You can find it here, it listed on top and it's a RUU zip, not exe - http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8

Yeah .. don't need RUU .. you need a non-rooted stock ROM and stock recovery.

How to flash OTA update on rooted HTC ONE M9 software number 2.10.401.1 with S-ON

Hi! My M9 is rooted, i didnt backup the unrooted rom and now the situation looks like this : rooted m9 with s-on, stock rom 2.10.401.1 .. im also with twrp recovery.. so my question is how can i flash the ota update and how?

I am also on the same boat. Please suggest best possible way to receive OTA

Depends if which cid you are on . If wwe you can flash from 2.10.401.1 to 2.10.401.8. Then from 2.10.401.8 to the latest firmware. After that flash twrp.
