Had my One x since a couple of weeks after it came out, best phone i've had yet. but i'm on a three branded phone, should of got an unbranded one off amazon i know. Since 3 are useless at giving out updates, i want to root my phone, which i know i can do as i had a desire HD rooted this and swapped roms about once a week.
What i want to know is if i can put the latest rru or ota 1.29.401.12 on with S-lock on so i can have the latest htc firmware on my one x and solve all the problems like loss of single and the storage issue?
Thanks
Fraid not, until we get s-off you have to use correct ruu.
You can always use a custom Rom based on the latest release

thats what i thought, so rooted and put arhd 8.1.0 on newer than the ota's. hopefully will be better battery life and solve the memory issues. Nearly as easy as a Derire HD to root.
Hello Guys,
I have the one V and a buddy just recieved one. I got the one V when it first came to Virgin so there was no update for it. I know that an update for the V came out and causes problems when rooting and installing ROMs. I am looking to root my buddy's phone but it has been a while since I did mine, what version RUU or Radio version does the HTC need in order to root and install ROM without problems?
Sprint RUU, radio version .521.
My wife handed me down her HTC M8 (Tmobile) 'cause she jemped to LG G3. The phone currently has 1.57.531.7 and it's flashing new update from HTC or Tmobile for a new update 2.22 something.
I want to root the phone and put custom ROM on it. So my question is should I stay on the old firmware and do all that or should I take the update and then start to play around with the phone. Does the new firmware present any trouble if I try to unblock bootloader, root, S-off and put on new ROM?? I'm no stranger to play around with the phone (My current phone is Samsung S4 which has been flashed with many ROMs) just that I haven't followed HTC M8 scene so has no idea the best way to go about it.
Thank guys

It won't effect anything but as always it's best to do all of that before you update. All though once you're S-OFF you can't do updates from HTC anymore (directly). You can flash them yourself once you're S-OFF though, i prefer doing it this way but either way will work, your choice.
Hey guys I am rooted on my m8 still running stock 4.4.4 tmobile . I also rooted my phone, but changed nothing else. Is it safe to update to the new lolipop update?
Not sure really.
On the m7 and the m8, I've had issues doing the OTA updates.
Both rooted, both HTC Dev unlocked (no S-Off). Both wont' take OTA's.
I was rooted on 4.4.4 and OTA updated to Lollipop without issue. It unrooted me, but it was easy enough to re-root.
I rooted my phone an year back I guess. I installed the CWM recovery and SuperUser. I did this after I installed the lollipop OTA update. Now, I want to install the Marshmallow OTA update and encrypt my device so, I wanted to unroot it.
I found other threads, but they were all for HTC Desire 816 running on Kitkat OS, I am kind of nervous that they will brick my device. If someone can post a link of the Stock Recovery (suitable for my situation) and the steps (detailed ones...please ), he/she will get a super-hug from me.
