Hello,
I want to update to 6.0.1 marshmallow. My phone is rooted, unlocked bootloader with s on, stock 5.0.2 lollipop. I installed the elemental kernel to run viper4android. I'm able to install the stock recovery if I want, right now I have twrp. My question is what is the easiest way to update to marshmallow with out losing data and having to reset up my phone again? Also, if I go the OTA route, will I lose root? Is a custom ROM like revolution the best way? Want to make is as painless as possible.
Thanks,
RM

Hi, small question.
I have an bootloader unlocked international HTC One M8.
I want to keep the stock ROM and Recovery as I want to be able to install the latest updates.
Is there a way to Root it without having to flash another ROM and Recovery?

yes, install custom recovery, install superSU, then flash stock recovery.
I keep the custom recovery, and then if an update come out, you can flash the stock recovery.
Do we have to revert to stock Rom to upgrade to lollipop? Was wondering if it's the same with the htc eye update wherein you have to go back to stock and update manually before flashing the custom rom. I am having an extremely difficult time going back to stock for some weird reason.
For every major update on this device so far (AFAIK) HTC has updated the firmware. So yes, my guess will be that you will need to update firmware to run Sense Lollipop custom ROMs And unless you s-off and therefore able to update the firmware manually; your alternative will be to return to stock ROM and recovery and OTA to Lollipop.
Ohhh, Been trying to revert to stock but it just doesnt work. thanks
If I'm just rooted and not s off stock Rom and all that anything I need to do to get the lollipop update or just wait for it to hit my ota on my phone?

Just wait for it. If you're stock then you shouldn't have a problem. The only real headache will be how long you have to wait to get the OTA.
Stock: Stock ROM, Stock Recovery, No changes to system i.e no xposed framework. No deleted pre-installed apps(Facebook etc) no changes to files like platform.xml, build.prop etc.
Being rooted on the other hand shouldn't cause any problems.
Hello guys,
following situation:
Long time I had a 4.4.something Rom installed. Before I flashed a custom Lollipop rom, I followed the advice to just go back to stock and let it update to Lollipop so that the firmware will be updated accordingly and I won't run into problems when flashing a Lollipop Custom Rom. Everything worked fine. Now I had to send my phone to HTC for display repair and just to make sure they won't nag about the custom Rom I reflashed some older stock rom via TWRP backup I found here, I think it was a 4.0 or so. The question is, does this also affect my phones firmware or is it still on the current newest level? So when I get it back, would I need to update to stock Lollipop again before flashing a custom rom or can I go for it straight away?

It won't affect your firmware.
Okay thanks, so Firmware should still be up to date and I can flash a Lollipop Custom Rom. I don't know what they do at HTC repair, if they only reset it or if they also update it, well I'll see.
I searched all the forums but could not find an upgrade procedure for those who want to upgrade 4.4.4 to 5.1 on a GPE rooted tablet with TWRP custom recovery.
Is this possible?
Do I need to go back to stock recovery, unroot, take the OTA and root again?
Thanks for your help. :good:
Hello, i just get update request on my rooted HTC One M8 (global). I was unable to install 6.0 android with TWMP.
Does any one know stock rooted android 6.0 rom, that i can install with TWMP ?
Many thanks
OTA will not install by TWRP. And a flashable MM ROm is probably not what you want; at least not if you want the proper MM firmware and future OTA updates.
You need the stock (never rooted) Lollipop ROM, and corresponding stock recovery, in order to properly update to MM.
