can this update be done if you are rooted and unlock?
It is always recommended to not accept any ota updates once rooted as you may lose root and the ability to root in the future. The dev's will post a stock rooted updated rom within a day or two. I would wait and flash that.
I'm sure you could, but give the devs time they will work this into an update fairly quickly I"m sure. you never know what OTA is going to break root or worse.
I wouldn't take the OTA. be patient

Thanks I appreciate the quick response.
I have root with the stock ROM, and I am using RootKeeper. Has anyone verified that you can apply the OTA update and restore root with RootKeeper?

Take the advises from above and wait. I'm also waiting a little longer before flashing a ROM. If you want the fixes from this update just download MEAN ROM and install it, it already has most of this fixes incorporate. The most important feature for me is tethering and I already got it.

Anyone know if it removes s-off?
I'm half rooted not unlock can I take it i don't mind if I loose it

General rule of thumb is to never accept OTAs if you plan on being or are rooted. If you have s-off that should be safe though, far as I know the only way to lose it is to manually turn it back on.

There is a new hboot included in this ota so i would be very careful even if s-off.

Dang njfoses. xHausx's comment was going to give me confidence enough to update and then you go and throw some doubt back in my mind. Oh well.
Which method could I use to re root?
Unless you were s-off or unless someone has a safe way believe you're stuck for the time being. Would definitely be careful about experimenting. Regaw said he'd be updating to newest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28782886&postcount=677 Don't know about Zedomax way...

Why would you accept an OTA if you wanted to keep root?
Just give it a few days, and the amazing devs will have something figured out for you. in the meantime, just enjoy the stock ROM.
I just got this phone (i know all late) , but once i got it it was already updated to the latest update 3.16.651.3 710RD, and i want to root it to get CM 10.2 does anyone know when that will be possible?

It's possible right now click the link in my sig the only problem you might run into is HTC-DEV has been hit and miss lately send the unlock code email
After you're rooted, look into going S-off. Well worth the time to get it done
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

^^^^^ this HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!! Although there is no support for 3.16.651.3 ATM. HTC is making harder to modify if you are S-ON with each update

I'm in the same situation as you. I have the latest update and really want to have a rooted phone again. I guess we will just have to wait

You can still unlock and flash roms with 3.16 s-on it's just harder because you have to fastboot flash the boot.img first if the rom does not have a kernel installer

Hello,
So I want to do an OTA from 4.4.2 > 4.4.3 on my One (M8).
I have Un-rooted, flashed a stok recovery and already have stock firmware.
Yet when I try and install it I get to about 1/4 then it shows a red triangle with an exclamation point.
I'm not sure what I've done wrong!
Please help
Many thanks
Andre

Have you disabled or removed any other system apps or made any other changes or mods to the system?
Oh, also, you probably need to relock the bootloader. Not sure about OTAs since I never ever do OTAs as they are the least desirable way to update, but via RUUs or firmware updates for HTCs you have to relock, so doubtful it's different here.

Thanks for the reply.
So I just re-locked the boatloader and ran the OTA.
I got the same result, a red triangle with an exclamation point.
I don't think I have modded anything, I did install viper rom, but I then backed up to a pervious stock version.
Any suggestions?

That's crazy talk... lol
But without knowing which version of the phone you have, if it came from a carrier, what build version and firmware version are currently installed, etc, then can't really provide much more detailed instructions. If you aren't sure, re-read that first post again and use the fastboot commands to find out the important stuff.

The 3 ways are OTA, RUU, or firmware upgrade zip if S-Off. Pretty sure there won't be an RUU for 4.4.3 yet as it just dropped recently. You could try to RUU back to official 4.4.2 and try the OTA then if the nandroid restore doesn't help, but those are the only ways.

Yea. Just make sure you put it in the right folder and then re-do the stock recovery and re-lock and then you should be good.

:good::highfive::victory:
Appears a new OTA update is going out today, locks down a previous root exploit and few other things.
(Make sure you S-OFF your device first before taking this unless you risk being locked down for good!)
Details in link below:

If anyone on a rooted device can capture this OTA file from /cache directory after you download it would be much appreciated.

I'm running Santod's stock ROM, I think it blocks the OTA from even downloading, right? Any way I can get it? I'd love a new stock ROM to try out.

My stock full odex rom will accept OTA's.
You just need the stock recovery installed for it to work.
But it's not rolling out yet where I am at least.
Once it does, I will post the firmware and a full rooted stock rom.
Anyone who is not already s-off and plans to gain s-off, should avoid the update until after they have gained s-off and unlocked.
I'm checking regularly, so will have it up just as soon as I get it and package it up.
I will post the OTApkg.zip as well...

Oh good, I was just looking yesterday, trying to figure out which was the newest version of stock because CM11 apparently doesn't support HDMI out.
Although, if anyone has a favorite sense-based ROM and can confirm HDMI out works on it, I might be persuaded to try that instead.
