I am trying to update my firmware on my Verizon HTC One M7 from 1.10.605.08 all the way up so I can get Lollipop and then install Viper 9.0. I am S-Off and SuperCID and don't want to revert back because I no longer use my phone through Verizon. Any help in this area would be appreciated. I'm having problems finding the firmware updates needed to accomplish this and my understanding is that I can't just use the Stock Rooted 5.0.2 RUU because of how outdated my firmware is.

Firmware shouldn't be difficult to find:

I just got an HTC M8 from Rogers and got a couple OTA updates and now I am on software number 2.23.631.2. I have looked through the forums and have not found anyone else on 2.23. The android version is 4.4.3 and the baseband is 1.19.21331147. I thought the latest firmware was version 2.22.401, how do I have 2.23.631.2?

Should I be concerned with rooting it and getting it S OFF because the firmware is 2.23 rather than 2.22?

Root should be fine, using TWRP. You SHOULD however Install TWRP, take a backup using TWRP, then ROOT, and then S-OFF.
You will probably have to use Sunshine but try firewater first. It has a low success rater however.
IF You can, please upload your TWRP backup files to google drive/mega/etc and send me a link for me to host it on my return to stock thread. I will remove your userdata files.
Thanks!

ryanfsdf did you try firewater? sunshine? Did you obtain root?
I have the new firmware on my unlocked stock Rogers One(m8) and wondering if I should bother even trying firewater.

I have the unlocked HTC be m8. From India.
I have currently upgraded to latest lollipop version.
Have never rooted before and was willing to.
Can I follow the same steps as the KitKat version or there will be a seperate version of rooting for lollipop.
And I want to root and downgrade.
Help!
And what are the chances of bricking your phone.

The procedure is the same, read up a few guides on that. All you need to do after the standard procedure is restore my backup from the stock backups thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
You can't 100% downgrade without S-OFF, and that's apparently not available with Lollipop yet
Hi guys, i am running the latest marshmallow on my htc m8 dev edition. i tried to install 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 RUU and both gave me the same error, error 159. how can i solve this?
I downgraded from lollipop multiple times using the same RUU but now is not working.
Are you s-off?

Yes, s-off, unlocked, supercid. did the same procedure many times already. Downloaded the ruu twice to see if wasn't a corrupted file and no luck.
Maybe marshmallow changed something?
I already was in marshmallow in gpe and reverted to sense lollipop to receive the OTA to marshmallow in sense version, ruu worked fine too.
Find an older hboot and get that installed. Should be able to downgrade after that is installed. That's what I figured out a while back.

I did a bigger route than this just to be sure, but worked.
Converted to GPE, and reverted the way i always did but this time using the 4.4.3 ruu. it worked fine.

That's what I was going to suggest, old firmware, than the old RUU.
The MM DevEd RUU has been finicky for some. Some folks have had to run the MM firmware before the RUU will work. So it wouldn't surprise me if similar was required to downgrade.
I have an HTC One M9 (Telus Canadian phone) Unlocked with S-OFF.
Rooted with SuperSU and TWRP v2.8.7.0.
I really wanna update my ROM to Android 6.0 but my current firmware version (which I believe is 3.10) is stopping me from doing so. I tried to upgrade my firmware by following the steps on HTC's website but it didn't work.
How do I go about upgrading my firmware?
Hello, You have to be stock to have OTA working
As you're S-off, best way is to flash a RUU.
After OTA you have to install Twrp and SuperSu again to be root...
You are s-off, you should be able to flash an unsigned zip and be done with it.

I'm a little bit confused about the steps I actually need to take. If I flash the right RUU, it will replace my Boot, ROM and Recovery? So the phone will be completely stock? If so, where do I find the right RUU for my phone?
Oh... I wasn't aware that I flash the firmware manually. But where do I find the firmware file? Would you be able to send me a link?
Hi guys,
I just got an HTC 10 and i'm coming directly from the 'ol ONE S.
Questions are: I just want to install the latest MaximusHD rom on my device (I already unlocked it and installed TWRP). What can happen if i don't do the S-off with sunshine? Will I miss the opportunity to get OTA? What will happen when Nougat OTA is out? Without s-off can I still update the phone with the RUU and then install the latest nougat maximus?
Thanks in advance!!!
Nicola
You don't need S-off for any of that stuff.
Install Maximus, and when that gets updated to Nougat just flash the latest version. You won't get OTAs from htc anyway when on a custom Rom.
S-off is only needed for you if you want to downgrade your software to an older version through an ruu, or if you want to flash an ruu that wasn't made for your phone. You can still flash an ruu while s-on as long as it's made for your phone (mid) version and is at least at the same firmware version you are already at.
