Install 4.4.3 on rooted HTC One M8

Hi,
I did a few searches but didn't find a solution.I have a developer M8 rooted and S-off. It's running 4.4.2. How do I go about installing the 4.4.3 OTA HTC apdate? Would I loose root and S-off in the process? Do I need to go back to stock to apply this update or do I need to take the update at all. I'm looking to flash the latest Viper rom and just wanted to check before I do. Sorry if this question was ask before.

When your target is to flash a custom ROM based on 4.4.3; you don't really need all those going back to stock and apply OTA stuff
What you need is flash the 4.4.3 firmware of device version then install ROM ... that's all

First make sure you do have the developer M8 as I find many said the same thing but in actual fact they are not.
If yes ... I have the untouched 2.22.1540.4_firmware.zip here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/2.22.1540.4_firmware.zip/download
then follow either this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
or this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
on how to flash the firmware zip
As the firmware is untouched, it will restore the stock recovery to your device.
So after successfully flashed the firmware, you should flash the custom recovery of your choice again in order to flash the intended custom ROM.

I'm gathering from the OP's location and past devices, that AT&T is the carrier.
If so, I would recommend flashing the 2.23.502.3 posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
This contains the latest AT&T firmware (including newest AT&T radio). Then flash whatever 4.4.3 custom ROM you want.
On the 2.22.1540 firmware, I was getting some random data drops on AT&T. After flashing the 2.23.502 firmware, everything is working perfectly for me.
EDIT: My bad, I somehow completely missed the critical point that the OP has the Dev Edition. ckpv5 is correct for the Dev Edition, 1540 firmware is what you want (the firmware released with the latest Dev Edition OTA).

That's why I said that he need to confirm whether he really has developer edition M8.
If it is At&T .. I will not recommend the Dev Edition firmware (in fact I will not get involve as I don't know much about At&T device)

Appreciated your help here. I can confirm the phone came with a unlock bootloader and my CID number is BS_US002. Does this mean I got the developer version of the M8?
If so, do I just follow the guide you post above, and do I need to change my CID to the super 11111111?

BS_US002 is Dev Ed.
There is no need to change to SuperCID when flashing the firmware meant for your device version; no CID and MID change is needed.

This part below, my phone freezes on the HTC logo. Do I repeat the entire step from beginning when it freezes or that specific command it freezes on? See below.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Note: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots.
Then, repeat the steps above again.

Major thanks to you sir. I use the second guide you provide above after multiple fail with adb and all seems to be working fine. So if I understand you correctly, as long as I flash the latest firmware which I now have and regain recovery, there is no need to take the OTA from HTC to move from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3? So I can now flash roms base on 4.4.3 like Viper?

Yes...now you can flash 4.4.3 Sense based ROM like viper.
If you ever need the stock ROM, just follow the Stock Backup link in my sig.

Correct sequence for converting from carrier locked ?

If I want to convert my carrier locked m8, Vodafone, to 401 unlocked, what is the correct steps and sequence ?
Am I right with this...
1. S-off with sunshine after taking out box AND before taking any ota updates.
2. Install custom recovery. (So I can flash stock 401 ROM)
3. Flash firmware that matches ROM
4. Flash stock recovery.
The only real doubts I have are the order of steps especially firmware and ROM.
Is it firmware or ROM first ?
Thanks

Thanks for reply but it's not sim unlock I want. I want to convert it from Vodafone UK software to stock wwe, 401, system.
I know the steps, just wondering that I've got the correct sequence in my op.
It is gsm because it's a UK phone.

the only drawback to doing the firmware after the rom is the rom will not have wifi on the old firmware
So the correct order is
unlock bootloader
flash custom recovery / root
s-off
flash firmware
flash rom
flash stock recovery
take updates

Been thinking about this, cause I like to have things clear before starting.
If I s-off with sunshine, because it will unlock bootloader without using HTCdev, then
1. Flash TWRP
2. Take nand
3. Then run this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001609293
4. Take any ota updates
Will that remove the need to flash 401 firmware, ROM and stock recovery as 3 individual processes ?
Thanks
Edit, will change cid to HTC__001 before running RUU.

The RUU will certainly shorten the update process ...Running Sunshine to unlock the bootloader without Root could be a problem

Sunshine unlocked my bootloader ok with the m8 I'm using just now. Can't remember which hboot I was on at the time. Wasn't rooted, completely stock.
That's why I intend using sunshine BEFORE I take any ota updates, ie, as soon as I get it out the box.
Didn't use sunshine to, primarily, unlock bootloader at the time. It was a welcome "extra".
Cheers
Edit
Copied from Sunshine web site........
SunShine unlocks your device's bootloader and sets it to s-off (HTC ONLY). SunShine does NOT install root binaries on the device. There are a few ways to root your device after using SunShine. The most common and reliable method would be to flash TWRP recovery to your device via fastboot, and flash the root binaries or a rooted ROM from within TWRP.
Sent from M8

Did this yesterday on my new m8. Worked flawlessly with temp root. Rooted after using adb and flashed SuperSU.

Same Question...
So, i've been reading a lot but still don't understand everything right...
I already use sunshine and now my AT&T (4.4.3 by RUU (this)) is s-off and bootloader unlocked. What should be my next step? Just run that RUU that you post will work? And after that i can flash any ROM that need 4.4.4?

What are you trying to do exactly? If your intent is to convert to WWE version, or run the phone on non-AT&T networks, that what you describe is probably right.
If you intend to just update firmware and run the phone on AT&T's network, I don't personally recommend the WWE firmware, as it has caused issues for a lot of folks on AT&T.

You just need to update the firmware, not run the entire RUU. Instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

then flash superSU 2.46.zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
when phone reboots to android, complete root setup by opening SuperSU app and update the binary if required.

GPe custom roms require a custom recovery, if you want to do a full convert to GPe, you will need s-off.

do a fastboot getvar all, it will tell you what your current model ID and cid is.
to change cid the command is fastboot oem writecid (whatever you need it to be, alway 8 characters long and capitals) requiresd cid is in the GPe conversion thread
to change mid follow this guide, required mid is in the GPe conversion thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
then just follow the GPe conversion thread I linked earlier

Like this ? (i'm Sorry i m too Slow)

and i did a Big mistake... i think i Bricked the Device......
Mistakenly i touched on "Format Data" instead of "Factory Reset" on TWRP 2.7.0.2... and then i tried to Flash MaximusHD 5.0.1 ROM... now everytime i touch on reboot, phone comes on on boot loader.... Did i do something wrong with partition ? what should i do ?

As i suspected. In your first post you wrote your hboot was 3.19.....but it's 3.16 and therefore way too low for the latest roms.
You need to update the firmware first, then TWRP to the latest one and then flash one of the latest MM roms.
What was your cid before you changed it to supercid ?
And no you didn't brick it. This is just a software issue. A brick is when the phone won't go the bootloader or recovery anymore.

Old cid should be a sprint one and software number is somewhat like 1.54.654.x
I would suggest to get back to a stock rom + recovery and then update the phones software + firmware via official ota.
Let's see if there is a backup available.
Edit :
I don't know much about sprint devices so check in the specific sprint section for a suited backup. The 1.54.654.x

Edited my post above. Your supercid should not interfere with ota updates at all. More important is to get a pure stock backup. Or a RUU ..... hold on, a ruu would be an option too but it wipes the ENTIRE phone !
Edit : are you using it on sprint network ?
http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p..._NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_418492_signed_2.exe
Here is a ruu that would suit your device. Put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb menu and execute the RUU.exe with admin rights from the pc (windows, usb 2.0 port connection) it will flash the phone to full stock.
When the ruu is successful you can flash the latest TWRP and flash the skydragon rom

Q.1 - i want to install SkyDragon 6.0 Marshmallow Sense 7 based Rom.. Do i Need or I have to install Stock 5.0.1 before flash 6.0 marshmallow ?
A. You only need to flash the firmware from Stock 5.0.1.
Go to the link below and flash this:
4.25.651.18 Full Firmware from RUU (fastboot flashable)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
This will also update your hboot to 3.19 so no need to answer Q.2.
Now, flash the latest TWRP, then go flash your favorite "SkyDragon 6.0 Marshmallow Sense 7 based Rom" by following the Dev's instructions on its OP.
All done.
Q.2- Do i need to update HBoot version ?
A. Answered Above.
Q.3- Do i need to update TWRP Recovery ?
A. Yes, flash the latest TWRP because the stock firmware you flashed has already replaced your custom recovery with a stock recovery. Obviously, you can't flash any custom ROM from Stock recovery.

I agree, its the Sprint version according to the Model ID. I also agree with the above posts, that RUU is the best way to update the firmware.
But be aware that firmware is not the only potential pitfall on the Sprint version. Custom ROM support for the Sprint version is a little tricky due to kernel differences (with most other versions of the M8). You either need to stick to ROMs that explicitly state they support Sprint; or you may also be able to flash the proper kernel to make the ROM work. As-is (without modifying the kernel) Viper MM will not work on Sprint. I was reading on the ARHD thread, that some Sprint folks got that ROM working with the proper kernel, so the same may be true for Viper. But you should read up and learn more before messing with these ROMs and kernels.

I think you are confusing custom ROMs with stock (HTC) ROMs (RUU).
Custom ROMs (as mentioned): s-on if fine, just need unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery TWRP
Stock/official ROM (RUU): If you are changing carrier/region versions, you need s-off and change the CID (or SuperCID). But this is not recommended nor necessary for most folks (only suggested for experienced users, with the proper circumstances).
