hey guys
i have back to stock 4.16 with Twrp backup and i installed stock recovery for 4.16 now iam s-on unlocked bootloader , i got message to update to 6.12 , is it ok to install it ? or does it work with no problem?
Best Regards.
Needs to be stock, never rooted TWRP backup (unrooting doesn't work).
If its says "software official" (I think that is what it says, something to that effect) on the bootloader screen, it should be okay.
If it says "software modified", than OTA will likely not install.

RUU should work (doesn't matter if phone is rooted or custom recovery) as long as OP relocks the bootloader. Although its not clear if OP wants to keep their data (which restoring to stock and OTA should be able to do) which is what some folks want. RUU will wipe the phone.

dear XDA members ,,, as i got a lot of solutions in this form and i see the OTA updates are making problems for many users ,,, here is the solution for people who unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery ......
ON STOCK ROM ...
1- you dont need to relock the bootloader ..
2- download voodoo rootkeeper .. (from market) and run the program and click protect root.
3- you will need your original recovery that you changed to CWM ..
example: if you had 1.28.415.9 and you installed CWM then you need recovery.img for 1.28.415.9 .
install the stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24738635#post24738635
4-install recovery.img from fastboot ..
5-boot into phone and OTA update the one x to 1.29.xxx .
6-after update is done just open rootkeeper and click restore root ,,
7-DONE
a big thanks for xda members and im happy to help ...
Nice m8

Actually I never really had to relock the bootloader to apply an OTA... just flashing the stock recovery and keeping the unlocked bootloader + rooted custom ROM did the trick for me... Tho its not a really good idea to install an OTA patch on top of a custom ROM.
i added ( FOR STOCK ) what i know if you have custom rom you wont receive OTA ... will you ???!!!! ... my solution is about if you are still on Stock ...
if you search google youll see people talking about locking the bootloader and removing root and all kind of crap ...
...since the radio is part of the rom now and the only "advantage" of flashing a RUU is an hboot update.
So what is the "advantage" of an newer hboot? If someone finds an exploit on the 0.43 hboot which is fixed on newer hboots you gonna cry (-:
So my advice..stay on lowest hboot until we get S-OFF.
I also didn't have to relock my bootloader.
Just restored my default back up with cwm before root. Fastboot restore to original recovery (stock), update and done. Went back to fastboot and restored cwm, rooted the phone and done.

May I post this in the HOS Section ? Thanks
What i did was flashed stock recovery, downloaded and installed the update done, that's all i did and root was intact, that was like last month
I'm still haven't issues installing the OTA update.
I followed your instructions and I still get the red triangle error
EDIT:
just did some fishing, and it's because my stock rom is so heavily modified that the OTA won't update anything
hi, quick check, do i still need to flash back CWM or it will include back CWM?

the OTA will not include CWM, as CWM is not stock.

Forgive me for the noob question but how would one find out which stock recovery was on phone before I flashed cwm. Didn't take note before hand

Hey guys as the Title says I'm Currently S-On, Rooted and Running ARHD 22.1 on my One M8 Euro/International which is Unlocked Using 3.401.9 firmware.
How do I go about returning everything to Stock as the Guide I have found assumes I have S-off which I dont/cant do due to it saying device incompatible.
Any helps much appreciated
Anyone Able to help as I really don't Fancy having a Bricked Handset
My guide needs S-OFF for some parts but the rest can be followed if you're S-ON. There is an RUU ZIP which might also work for you, so perhaps give that a go...
you'll have to relock the bootloader if you are s-on and then flash an RUU for your phone model to return to stock

How did you upgrade your firmware to 2.10 if you are s-on???
You need the 2.10 firmware to run the 2.10 roms.
All you can do when s-on is wait for the 2.10 ota to arrive.
Or pay for sunshine-app to get s-off.

That won't work. As said in the other thread you need a stock, unrooted and read-only TWRP backup of the 1.40.709.8 system. As K00li79 already said the rom of a 2.10.709.1 backup isn't compatible with your firmware. After you restored the needed 1.40.709.8 backup you only need to replace TWRP with the stock recovery and then you will be able to install the update. The only other option (that has actually been stated several times now, too) would be paying for Sunshine and after getting S-OFF flashing a RUU like this one.

So you were able to receive and install an official OTA with a 2.10.709.1 rom although your firmware was 1.40.709.8? Or are you still on 1.40.709.8? Flashing a backup with TWRP alone won't update your firmware.
Edit: If your firmware is still 1.40.709.8 I may be able to help you out with a stock backup in a few hours. Since you haven't been the only person with problems during the process of getting back to stock and installing official OTAs I created some stock backups (1.40.709.8 and 1.40.206.8) last night. The files are uploading right now. But it's no problem if you don't need it anymore. Maybe there is someony else on the world wide web who might need it.
Edit2: And here is the post with the download link and some instructions.

A twrp restore won't touch your firmware. You're still on the same firmware you've always been on.

What you'll usually see is reboots when you hit the power button to turn on the screen. But I don't know if it's universal.

excellent job doing that! I just still recommend to be s-off so all the pain is gone, the key is to be soff and so you are able to do whatever you need to do so easily.
Rooted my HTC m9 (unlocked the boot loader , flashed a custom twrp recovery, installed supersu through it) and I am still getting ota update. But when I try to install the update ( going from 5.1.1 to marshmallow ) the phone restarts and get into the recovery.
I tried to restore the nandroid I have made since I rooted the phone, and tried to update again, but still didn't work !
Actually the phone is working great but all the solution I tried to get back to stock , and take the ota update didn't work ( even with an RUU , which I may not have found the right one).
Below is a pic of the download mode
Any help will be apreciated

Please what do you mean by "official" status ,and how ?
And also if I buy s-off (using sunshine app) what next ?
Why on earth are you rooting if you don't know anything about it?.
Official means "as it was from factory" the device knows that it isn't as factory.
S-off means you can flash any rom and brick your device even quicker.

Anyway, how can I get back to official status, I mean if It's still possible.
And what if I flash a custom rom, will I be able to get ota updates ( even unofficial)

You have to be 100% stock to take an ota. This is a security feature to prevent bricks, which can and have resulted from people trying to take otas when rooted.
There are multiple threads on how to do this. Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/stock-nand-backup-ota-update-collection-t3132698

Another thing,
After I have unlocked the boot loader, I did a twrp-backup .
So I don't need to download another one ,right ?
So long as you have the 4gb backup of system then you're golden. You can't do another until its stock stock stock because the partition is now modded!!.
S-off will help against bricks. You must still have the official status to flash a signed official stock rom but s-off isn't counted/seen. These are ruu.EXE
Otherwise yes, any rom except signed official while rooted with s-off. You can install unsigned "offical" stock roms and flash them straight away. No messing about resetting official. These are ruu.ZIP.

This needs some nuance. Being s-off will prevent you from getting into situations where you can't boot because of some security protocol, but can't fix the problem because you can't boot, for example if you relock in bootloader with a custom recovery but don't have "Allow OEM unlock" ticked in the OS.
But being s-off also opens up many other avenues for brickage that don't exist when s-on. A hard brick can be as simple as flashing a custom splash image for the wrong phone.

Got you now !
I just restored my twrp backup ( BTW it's 9.8gb not 4gb) it contains a backup of all the partitions.
Now, instead of going s-off and use ruu to get back to stock, is there another way for so ?
