Hello,
Recently ive got an HTC one M9 with 5.0.2 version. I've checked for OTA updates and none. After, i've googled around and saw that i can update manual even from HTC.
My phone is S-OFF, rooted and LOCKED bootloader (this is how i've got it).
Trying to find out CID and etc i got more info. I want to update to android 6.0 but dunno how to do it safely without bricking. I have attached 2 screenshoots with detailed info.
Could someone explain in few words how to do it? Also i would like to know if i lose root in the process.
Thanks in advance
ps: i got some exp with flashing/rooting etc, but on LG phones.
Any1 can tell me if i can update to 6.0 on my htc one m9 with S-OFF, rooted and LOCKED bootloader?
I should unlock bootloader?

Hey guys,
I'm due to receive my HTC One X later this week, direct from Orange UK. Big issue for me is the fact that the handset will be Orange bloatware branded. Now I've heard that their firmware isn't actually too bad and has had little customisation. However, what I am dubious of is the fact that Orange take MONTHS to release firmware updates... Incredibly frustrating.
SO, all I should like to do, is get my HOX running the plain and simple stock firmware. So I can receive OTA updates direct from HTC
Now, I'm very new to HTC. This is my first HTC phone since my run in with an old Window's PDA phone around 6 years ago... I became very gifted in the art of debranding and customising Samsung Android phones within the past two years, however HTC is a different game entirely!
Please, can someone give me a simple (I mean really dumbed down) version of how to debrand my HTC, how to root it (if necessary) and anything else in between! I would really, really appreciate it. I am a Mac OS X user, so Mac instructions would obviously be preferable
Thank you all very much for your time!
Eddy
MOD Can I have this moved to Q&A please?
You have just follow this tutorial for MAC OS X user

Briefly, you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash custom recovery and then custom ROM.

Thank you. Which ROM should I go with? I'd just like a plain and simple one that I will receive update from HTC for.

You can't get OTA updates if you unlock your bootloader from htcdev.com.
Sheesh, have you even read any of the topics in this forum? ;-)

how would this work?
i too am due to get a voda branded HOX which I want to debrand. I'm not interested in rooting or anything... all I want to do is put stock HTC firmware on there which would receive stock unbranded HTC OTA updates as and when they are released....
is there any way to do this yet bearing in mind that I am not fussed about rooting?
Without s-off you can't debrand, you would have to go custom but then you wouldn't get ota updates

Like I said, I am completely new to all of this!
Is there no way for me to have the best of both worlds?

Wait to see if somebody can change the bootloader to S-OFF mode and then alter your CID if you want to use the stock HTC firmware and have OTA updates.
Custom firmware can track the latest/greatest HTC firmware versions anyway so you'd get roughly the same end result.
i found this over at modaco but am not sure what exactly has been done:

Hey guys, would appreciate if someone could cast some light on my problem. I have an HTC One X that is factory S-Off, unlocked bootloader and with SuperCID, that has never been rooted, flashed or modified in any way. I received all previous OTA updates in timely manner (usually few days after the initial seeding) and without problems, but I still haven't got the latest 4.2.2 update although it has been out for some time now. Anyone out there with similar configuration that received the update? Does anyone know a magic trick to initiate the OTA update? I'm currently on 3.14.401.27. Please, do not suggest RUU install or any other method that would end up in full wipe since this is currently not an option for me ( the missus is using the phone and I would like to avoid reinstalling all the crap she has on it ).
Hi
I ahve also S-OFF, superCID form factory, but my bootloader was locked, maybe relock your bootl.?
Well, it is factory unlocked and it wasn't a problem for earlier updates, so I doubt it is a problem now.
doesn't matter if bootloader is locked or unlocked, you only need stock recovery for ota. just a waiting game I think
Make sure you are on a Europe wwe rom

Hi All
My name is Phil and I'm new to HTC phones so I apologise in advance.
I wonder if anyone out there can help me, I'm trying to just unbrand my unlocked Vodafone UK HTC One M8 which is currently on KK 4.4.4. What I would like to achieve is an unbranded phone as if I had purchased it unlocked from HTC with the warranty in tact that will accept OTA's so I'll get lollipop.
I understand I will most probably have to unlock the bootloader, root, S-off etc but what I'm a little unsure about is, can I get an official stock rom complete with sense 6 installed on the phone and then lock it all back up for warranty (ie in fastboot it states locked, original software, s-on etc etc)
I have read many threads and watched youtube videos that seem to show that it can be done but I would like to check with you guys before I start.
If this is possible, which method would you recommend as there seems to a few different methods.
Also is Sunshine the only s-off method now?
Again I'm sorry but I've come from a Sony xperia phone which unbranding was really easy to achieve without rooting
Thank you in advance
Phil
I take it you took advantage of the recent deal too. Anyone would be crazy not too at that price.
At the moment it seems that the Vodafone m8s can't be s-off'd so we have to wait for root ninja to release sunshine v3 which will work. It doest seem to far off.
Once you have s-off you can change your CID and flash the generic firmware and Rom. We just have to play the waiting game now.
I think sunshine does reset the flags for you, but I'm not sure on that. Oh and don't s-on again unless you absolutely have to send the phone in for service.
Thanks isx for your reply
I did indeed get it while it was on offer
Any ideas on the lead time of sunshine V3?
I have lollipop on my Galaxy S5 and keen to get on the HTC too
Cheers for your help
Well, i got my M9 as a christmas present, thinking that it was the unlocked variant, and when i receive it i inmediately start going through all the updates and when i finish, i asked myself, where is the 6.0 update? so i started diggin, and found out that my M9 is the australian variant, with CID OPTUS001, but the weird thing is that it is unlocked. So i ask, does it mean i wont be able to get the updates first? if the answer is no, then what do i have to do to convert my M9 to the international version, so i can get the updates first?
P.S: i already have experience with rooting, S-off, ROMS, etc on my M7 and i have already unlocked the bootloader of my M9

The US dev edition is the one that got the update, you'd have to covert to that to update it now or just wait for your edition to be updated

Hi, i have a problem and is as follows:
Months ago i root my HTC with Android 5.0.1, so I unlock the bootloader and do all steps for root. Days ago it was enable the update of marshmallows, when I try to install the update, TWRP cant let me update, so i unroot and install my recovery stock (i think, i do some research and i learn that my cid is OPTUS001, so I install my correspondent recovery stock) and nothing, i relock the bootloader and nothing, appears the red triangle, so im scare, i dont know what to do. I want marshmallows and the next updates. :crying:
PD: Im noob, and my strong language isnt english. Also i read about S-OFF, and i dont want pay nothing.
Any solution? Please
You need a RUU that matches your cid/mid. Check out flippys thread in the general forums for more info
