i have HTC one x which is rooted and unlocked boot loader but i checked for updates after i got it unlocked and rooted , there was a new update i downloaded it and tried to install when i restart the update should be installed but every time i click restart to update the device restarts but dose not install the updates instead the device boot into TWRP recovery screen, so my question is how can i install the official updates? or is there is a way to install them manually using TWRP Recovery screen?
Is your rom still stock ? (No apps deleted) then you need the stock recovery.
What software number are you on now
2.17, 3.14 or even higher ?

what would this file do exactly? will it relock the boot or unroot
sorry im new in all of this so basically i know nothing
No you need the stock recovery (HTC) because the custom recovery that we use to flash roms is not capable of handling official update files from htc.
This will not lock the bootloader, it will only replace the custom recovery so that you are able to install the OTA update.
worked and updated thanks for the help
No problem ! :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED !
BUT it unrooted the phone so i had to root it again, no biggie
Yeah thats normal ! But indeed no biggie....enjoy the day
I have an AT&T HTC One M8. It was already rooted when it bought it. Running stock 4.4.2
I have installed the most current version of TWRP. I created a successful backup.
I am trying to install the ROM for skydragon 5.5 but it just gets stuck on the startup screen (white android screen)
I am S-on.
I flashed (via fastboot) the boot.img from the Skydragon 5.5 Rom.
I installed Skydragon 5.5 Rom from the TWRP install screen.
(note - these are the instructions from skydragon website and it states I do not need S-off as long as I flash the boot image)
When I reboot it just hangs on the startup screen (white android screen)
I can recover to get back to a working phone but I would really like to upgrade to skydragon. I have been having constant problems with bluetooth headsets on the stock 4.4.2 and am hoping the newer skydragon ROM and boot.img would resolve the poor bluetooth sound quality issues.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You probably need to update your firmware/hboot.

As mentioned, you need to update your firmware.
Current ROMs won't run properly (extreme long boot times, broken WiFi) on old firmware (hboot, radio, etc.).
Plus, the current TWRP will not flash ROMs properly on the old hboot.
I dont fully understand why but I lost my backup during my installation of the new skydragon ROM. The backups were on the SD card.......and then they vanished.
I did manage to barely avoid bricking my phone. I re-locked my phone, installed the HTC RUU for lollipop and got my phone back to working. I had been trying to use sunshine S-off tool so that I could upgrade the firmware but I couldnt get my phone to boot up to perform the S-off installation process.
I still want to install skydragon. These are the steps I think I need to take.
1. unlock/root my HTC M8
2. Install TWRP
3. Backup my phone
4. install the new Skydragon Lollipop ROM
* note - I assume that I dont need S-OFF since my firmware should have already been upgraded when I installed the HTC Lollipop RUU.
If my phone is S-off will the skydragon lollipop ROM installation automatically install the firmware? Or is that a separate installation?
1: You lost all because you ran a RUU !
2: A custom rom NEVER changes the firmware

To confirm whether the firmware was updated or not; what does it say on the hboot screen for hboot number, radio baseband, and OS number?

Flashing a ROM never updates your firmware. The firmware partitions (hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) are not included in a ROM zip.
Firmware flash is done as a separate action, usually via fastboot.
Actually I lost my backup before I installed the RUU......otherwise I would have reverted to my previous kitkat installation rather than installing the RUU and losing all my data. I know the RUU basically reimages all the memory.
I was using sideload to install the skydragon ROM. I suspect I did something wrong during one my fastboot flash commands or the adb sideload commands.
Can someone please post a very precise and detailed step by step method of how to root the htc m8 ( non GPE edition - European version ) with marshmallow os ? I m pure stock, I haven't done anything with it. Thank you !
It's all here in the forum , looking for a bit and you'll find it .
Unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com
Fastboot flash the latest TWRP.img
Use TWRP custom recovery to flash SuperSU, or flash a rooted ROM. (Most ROMs are rooted)
Hello, i have red so many forums of how to update a rooted htc one m8, but there are so many opinions i'm left very confused. Some say you only need to flash stock recovery (never clarified which version of the recovery, the one in the update you are going to install or the one your device is currently at, mine is at 3.29.161.9), other say you need to Install Stock Nandroid Backup, flash the stock recovery and relock the bootloader. When i rooted my phone i unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and from TWRP I installed SuperSU. So what is the actual procedure for updating a rooted HTC One M8?
1. You can install current firmware stock recovery or the version that you're going to update.
Doesn't matter, both work.
2. You need a clean stock non-rooted system which normally you can get from stock non-rooted nandroid backup. Restore the backup, install stock recovery then do OTA update... no need to relock bootloader.
i have problem with my htc one m9
my device does not start the android rom but instead it boots into bootloader directy
i have tried installing viper rom , arhd rom in my device, the rom gets installed succesfully but when i turn on my device ,the device does not boot the rom instead it opens the bootloader ,if i click reboot it reboots and comes back to botloader
the only rom which have worked is arhd v14.0 but i want to install viper m9 or arhd v20.0
my device is rooted , bootloader unlocked,twrp recovery installed
plz help!!!
As explained at several locations here in the One M9 forum (e.g. in the FAQ of the ReadMe thread or in the dedicated threads of the roms you mentioned), your firmware is outdated if a rom doesn't boot although TWRP doesn't state any errors.
If your phone isn't S-OFF you'll need to get back to stock for installing HTC's official OTAs. Be aware that you mustn't update to firmware 4.x if you want to use ARHD since that rom is EOL and based on firmware 3.x.
All information that might be needed for getting back to stock can be found in the ReadMe thread.
