Dear all,
Is it possible to receive OTA Update if we are living out of USA? I'm living in Brazil and currently 4.4.2 with sense 5.5 and I'd to uptade to sense 6.0.
Here we have only GSM net, any possibility for using CDMA or a Verizon net, I'm using my HTC ONE Verizon in global mode (GSM)
Could someone help me on this or give any tip?
Verizon HTC One
Rom/Stock 4.4.2 - Sense 5.5:
Bootloader Locked
Cannot get the update without being on Verizon network.

Do i have to relock bootloader to get the 4.4.4 update? I am on the stock rom with stock recovery not rooted.
Anyone in the netherlands that got the OTA?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
No need to re-lock bootloader for OTA.
HTC One M8
There has been an OTA update pushed to VM 816s for about a month or so. I know that normally we cannot apply this to rooted devices because of the tampered flag being set off and not running the stock recovery. Is there any way beyond running RUU and getting to complete stock to apply the update? If not, does anyone know how you can extract update from an updated phone?

Unroot through the SuperSU app and reflash the stock recovery.
Please Delete. I screwed up and double posted.

But then I'm back to stock when I unlock. I'm better off just running the RUU so I get 100% back to stock

I tested this last night, you don't need to re-lock the bootloader. Just unroot, flash stock recovery, and apply the update. No need to lose data.
can't get it to work

Hmm.... I updated via OTA and I looked at the version number.
I used the RUU and looked at version number and they were both the same though.
Can I reroot after update
For some reason it's being a pain and not allowing me to install the update. When I flash the recovery and attempt to boot into it to for a system update, all I get is a red triangle with an exclamation point through it

S off is just for if you dont want to wipe apps correct?

S-off is for converting your phone to a developer edition or International (by changing the CID / MID and flashing a RUU)
or flashing unsigned firmware and for flashing RUU that are older than your current version.
to get s-off you must already be unlocked and rooted
O.k. so basically I need a computer there's no app,etc that can unlock my m9 correct?I don't have a computer that's why I'm asking. Thanks In advance!!!
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
S-off is required to update or flash certain parts of the system... but not for custom recovery (TWRP) or custom ROMs. That only requires an unlocked bootloader from HTCDEV.com
For example, once you have a custom ROM, you no longer receive OTA updates. OTA updates not only include the ROM, but also firmware updates as well. Custom ROMs do NOT include firmware updates. (I.E. the latest camera fixes, and updated radios for better signal and improved battery) Developers will often rip the firmware out of the OTAs or RUUs and provide them to be flashed separate and without wiping your device. These are modified (I.E unsigned). Modified, unsigned firmware can not be flashed without S-OFF. I believe To update your firmware without S-Off, you'll need to return to stock with an official RUU and get all the OTAs (if your RUU was not the latest version.) Then flash a custom recovery and your preferred custom ROM again.
Another thing S-Off gives you is the ability to flash firmwares for other regions.. for example I have a developer edition 1.32.617.30 firmware. I can only flash "617" firmwares. I cant flash 1.32.401.17 firmware because the "401" firmwares wont match my CID.. but I can with S-OFF.
Also a word about root.... There is no reason to root your phone if you will flash a custom ROM.. This makes 0 sense since you will root a ROM that you will then proceed to delete. The only reason to Root is if you plan to stick with the stock ROM, or if you want to backup some things that require root before you flash a custom ROM. Root is not required for flashing a ROM.

No
SunShine is our bootloader unlock/s-off tool for Motorola and HTC phones. We currently support most HTC phones, and Moto X (2013), MotoG (2013) and Droid Maxx/Mini/Ultra on Android 4.4.3 and lower. All modern HTC devices (m9 m7 m8 e8 Mini2 remix dna etc) devices are supported up to 5.0.1, as long as they are rootable.

"as long as they are rootable" means you have to already have the bootloader unlocked Twrp installed and Rooted on the M9
So if I wanted to turn my T-Mobile HTC one m9 into a dev model I just need to unlock the bootlooder and root it.and also get s-off.Is that correct.I thought the dev model had more frequency bands for you can get service in more areas.Is this right or no? Thanks In advance!!!

You don't need root for that. Just S-off.
You can flash the dev edition RUU, but it's not going to disable/enable any bands. That's all hardware. You also lose wifi calling.

OK I never use Wi-Fi calling.so does the dev edition have more or different bands or are the band's the same as the T-Mobile version.so it Is possible to duplicate the dev edition to make my T-Mobile model the same as it. Thanks

Having S-off means you can update the phone firmware (think: bios) without having to wait for a.carrier OTA. This ability is different than unlocking your bootloader which enables you to flash a ROM. Without these two things, the only way to update your phone is to wait for the carrier to get around to it. For example, we who also own M7s already are running LP, while the rest of the AT&T customers wait l.
One thing I would encourage you to do is to READ THE GUIDES THOROUGHLY, because your questions clearly indicate you are not familiar with the process or what you are doing, and one mistake can possibly brick your phone.

Yeah, the dev edition has the exact same hardware as the ATT model. The bands are different. If you want to use the phone on Tmobile, the tmobile version will be the most optimized.
The most you can do is flash the dev edition RUU.

No you can't. Why would you if I may ask? I did it with my M8 back in the days as well. Then I had to send it back for repair, and they you asked if the software was modified. I just told them that everything was reverted to stock and they didn't make an issue out of it. Hope this helps, anwser your question.
