I was on MeanROM (which had the newest firmware baked in) and just switched to Viper4G (which puts the firmware upgrade on the user) but I can't find how to do it without OTA. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
Once you've updated firmware it stays updated.
FIrmware isnt baked into ROMS, so you don't have the latest firmware.
Actually READING the OP will tell you all you need to know about updating firmware and how to do it.

did you have to be S-Off for the firmware? And did it require a full wipe before or after?

No, as long as you have the old h-boot you are fine. And no full wipe is needed (cache & dalvik caceh couldnt hurt though). Its all radio related it has nothing to do with your ROM

I am stock, locked, s-on, and rooted with zedomax one click so i could use wifi teather and titanium backup. How can I apply the ota and still keep root? If that's not possible what do you recommend?
Are u using a custom Rom? If you are then wait for one of the Rom developers to incorporate the latest ota.

Noob here don't know how. I thought I couldn't flash any Roms with zedomax one click root method and locked s on. Detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Can someone be straight up with me and tell me why no one has answered my question?
no one will give you a straight answer because what you want to do is kinda not recommended on any device.
general rule of thumb is not to ota after root. so what you should do is get s-off using lazypanda which allows for flashing of custom roms and such and follow my guide that is in my signature to make sure that it goes smoothly (but ignore the part of flashing fresh rom, you can do it on stock with just root) then once you achieve s-off you can either stay stock and wait for a rooted version of the newest update for you to flash through twrp or you can flash any other rom (i run flex 360's rom, i find it the smoothest rom ive tried) and then just flash the radios from the newest update which will give you all of the 3g improvements (which is basically all you need, you can flash roms based off of the newest update at a later time)
if you need any further help feel free to pm me at any time and i will help you out
edit: also, after re-reading your original post, there is no way to keep root after ota so if you accept it you will have to wait for another root exploit which may take a while.
Can you give us new guys a step by step instructions for installing the new ota update> I have stock rom phone rooted with TWRP. Do we need to do a factory reset and clear the Cache, Dalvic Cache and System or can we just install the Odexed zip?
He can't flash a Rom guys, he can't get a custom recovery.
Op, get s-off first and the. Get your recovery and flash a romt

If you have a gsm phone, u can update via ota to get the latest hboot and firmware, unlock it via htcdev method if required, and then flash a custom rom for example Cool-ICS. It is okay to remain s-on even this way. It is not necessary to update ota as you can also get the zip files for the updates and install it according to a custom rom's requirement.
Cheers.

As someone has asked, are you GSM or CDMA?
You state you have not updated firmware, but are running infected rom, so I am guessing you are referring to having not updated the kernel.
Do you have a recovery like TWRP or EXT4 loaded?
If so are you comfortable with how to flash a rom from the recovery console?
Help us help you.

Thank you for the quick reply, but i don't really understand which ROM should i flash. Can i just factory reset? and do the OTA?
Chainfire is not supported on our evos, you will soft brick every time. You have to flash a new Rom. Either flash a Rom and kernel separately or flash a Rom with kernel installer like meanrom

om4, thank you for the reply. I've read your Dont' Panic thread, would it be possible to flash the boot.img alone? can i flash with the latest RUU ? or is there a latest stock ROM available, because i only get from search is the previous stock ROM

Thank you very much om4, the link in OP thread is dead but i can manage to find Captain_Throwback link.Do i need to relock the bootloader? and I still need to flash the kernel after i flash it with the deodex stock right?
If i decide to go with the mean rom, should i re-lock the bootlader or just straight flashing the rom after clean wipe and factory reset?
If you flash meanrom you don't need to relock bootloader. Only relock the bootloader if you are getting ready to flash ruu or if you are trying to accept an ota. To accept an ota you would need a stock Rom and recovery before relocking bootloader

Thank you very much sir, you've been very helpfull. Thank you
I have been doing a lot of searching and reading for a while now and have been unable to find the answers to this..
I have an unlocked, rooted HTC One M7_UL (AT&T) with:
stock Android 4.1.2,
Sense 5.0,
TWRP 2.7.0.0,
S-ON,
software number 1.26.502.12,
radio 4A.14.3250.13,
baseband 4A.14.3250.13_10.331150.01L
HBOOT 1.44
I want to update it to the latest Android Revolution HD (71.1?) Android 4.4.2 and the latest radio.
Is "radio", "firmware", and "baseband" all the same thing? Seems like I see them used interchangeably..
What are the steps to get there? Do I just flash the ARHD ROM and then the radio?
Do I need S-OFF to flash the radio? Some places said yes, some said no.
Do I need to go to a stock 4.4.2 ROM first then to ARHD?
Also, I've seen "kernels" such as ElementalX and Bulletproof. But I think these can be flashed anytime, correct?
Thanks.

Kernels are firmware specific please read the specific threads! and yes to flash custom roms of higher android version it is a must to update your stock rom first!

By "firmware" do you mean 4.1.2, 4.3, 4.4.3, etc.? Some places seem to call the "radio" the "firmware"...
So can I flash the "stock" that is on this page (android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html) and then ARHD?
Is there a reason you can't flash straight to a custom ROM from stock?

Their is a no. of dependencies are full firmware flash upgrades like in htc - system,hboot,radio which are needed by the rom to work that is why I suggest full RUU/Firmware flash instead of just updating the required manually

Okay. thanks. I'm still S-ON. Do I need to get S-OFF using Revone to lock the bootloader? Then go back to S-ON and use the RUU to
get back full stock? Then update to stock 4.4.3?

Nope, the RUU will update all of those (firmware, stock ROM, etc.). RUU is a complete factory image.
You do need to relock the bootloader if you are s-on, in order to RUU (not required for s-off).
Also, the RUU will wipe the phone, so backup any personal data you want to keep before RUU.
is ruu updating radio or baseband too?

Yes, RUU will install new radio baseband. As I mentioned, RUU is a complete factory image.

Did you s-off and flash a different radio? Or using a stock AT&T radio?
If you flashed a different (non-AT&T) radio, you can always do so again after RUU.
