Hi there,
I have an international HOX+ running version 1.14.401.16 and I'd like to apply the latest updates.
When I first got the phone I dev unlocked it, rooted it and installed TWRP v2.3.3.0.
It is currently 'offering' me an update to 1.17.401.1 but I'm pretty sure this will fail to install with the non-stock recovery present...
From what I've read, I think I need to reinstall the stock recovery and (maybe) relock my device but I can't seem to find a 1.14.401.16 image anywhere?
Am I correct in my assumptions and if so, where can I get the recovery image?
Thanks in advance,
Richard.
I wouldn't bother with the update. If you EVER need to re-ruu you will find it a major pain in the ass, and there's really no plus side to updating

I know this might be stupid... I am sure I am already answering my own question but I want to be safe . Basically, I just bought a 3D it's completely rooted. I rooted it while it was Hboot verion 1.30. Basically I want to know is it okay to update the Hboot? Do I have to find it through forums or can I update it through the phone updates? I have had plenty of experience with other Android devices. (Here's the stupid part) But, I am just curious if it will wipe my root if I update my Hboot to the latest version? I am just curious if the 3D is any different compared to some of the other Android devices I have previously owned.
Thanks in advance!

Updating *only* the hboot image will not remove the su binary loaded on the /system partition to provide root. Updating the hboot to the latest version, right now, will mean you can *only* remove the internal memory write protection through htc's unlock tool as revolutionary hasn't released support for the latest hboot.
My personal opinion, I don't think it is worth updating the hboot at this point.
Hope that answers your question!
Hi All,
Been an Android guy since the G1, but that was also the last time I had anything HTC. Picked up a One yesterday and I'm so happy to be back.
Did a bunch of reading before getting the phone. I wanted to make sure I didn't do anything irreversible. Before I received the phone, I'd read that you couldn't get S-Off with 1.27.531.11, as they'd patched the HBOOT (even though it's still 1.44.) So once I got the phone and confirmed it was on 1.27.531.11, I performed my first step:
1. Downgraded from 1.27.531.11 to 1.27.531.8.
Next:
2. Unlocked using htcdev
3. Flashed TWRP as recovery
4. Installed Android Revolution HD 4.0 Google Edition
All went smoothly! Because I had no issues with this, I decided it was worth it to push on and get S-Off and SuperCID. I read Vomer's guide many times over, and was about to get rolling with revone, when I found another guide ([GUIDE] PRE-S-OFF - IMPORTANT INFO - Read Before Going To S-OFF Threads!) which contained the following:
You are on or flash a STOCK Sense 5, Android 4.1 ROM! (NOTE: 4.2 Software may be OK however for your best chances use the oldest you possibly can!!
But as a result of #4, I'm now on a GPE 4.3 Rom. This gave me pause.
So, two (and a half!) questions really:
1. Should I flash back to a 4.1 or 4.2 rom prior to trying to get S-Off through revone? If so, what rom should I use? My best guess, if this is necessary is Team Nocturnal's Stock Rooted 1.27.531.8
2. Is there anything else flashing Android Revolution HD 4.0 might have done that would cause problems when trying to use revone to get S-Off? I still have Hboot 1.44, and I don't *think* flashing that rom would have somehow made this the patched version present in 1.27.531.11, but I just want to be sure of what I'm doing. (That question sounds so noobish! But better safe than sorry, I'm thinking.)
Thanks in advance, guys. Really didn't have a great community around my last phone, and I'm psyched to be back amongst a big group of tinkerers.
And from that same guide:
Are not using a GE ROM, 4.3 Rom or on stock 4.3 software
So it definitely seems like I should flash something older first. Just want to confirm what would be best (and make sure there's nothing else I need to do as well prior to using revone.)
All set. S-Off and SuperCID achieved.
For anyone who finds this thread down the road:
As long as you've downgraded to 1.27.531.8, just make sure you're on a 4.2.2 or earlier rom. Multiple reports of revone not working with 4.3 roms. You're on an older rom after doing the downgrade, so if you don't flash anything after that, you're ready to use revone.
Thank you for the info! I had wondered the same thing!

Hello android geniuses, any help would be great, all i want to do is get the stock Tmo 4.3 update and keep that way from here on out, please help me get back to stock TMO Recovery and and get the bootloader relocked, while also unrooting my phone. I just bought Nexus 5 and i decided i want to keep my TMO HTC One stock for the wifi calling. I have been n stock tmo 4.1.2 since the day i bought this phone and the only thing that have done to it is root it and unlocked the bootloader and flashed the CWM Recovery and have not done anything since.
Im currently S-On
HBOOT 1.44
radio: 4A.17.3250.20
and my recovoery is clockworkMod
so i havent done much to this phone at all and i cant flash the new update becuse of my recovery. any help in the right direction would be much appreciated.
is it even possible in my current state my phone is in?

that link will give you all you need to know to be 100% stock again. it's for all variants of the HTC One (save for the Sprint and maybe Verizon versions, i think)
follow the directions to the letter and carefully, and it should be relatively easy! good luck
There are at least 10 threads dealing with the exact same question. Read up man.

Noob question but I cannot find the answer – one that I trust and can, with confidence, understand. Where can I find stock version of 4.3 (or 4.4 for that matter). I"m still on 4.1.2. I'm so looking to get a newer version. Why? I don't know exactly but I'd say because I've read reports that it runs smoother, faster and better on battery.
Too, is there a site that has all the possible ROMs for the HTC One (att)? Recommendations?
I assume that I, after I find the rom I want to install, boot into recovery, wipe the device and then install (having found the downloaded rom file on my sim)? Yes??
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks in advance!!!
stock rom if you are s-on you need to relock your bootloader

Hey,
So I usually dont have many questions, but I have not updated my DNA in a very long time Currently I am running
Android Version
4.1.1
Sense Version
Sense 4+
Rom Version
ViperDna 1.3.5
I am running TWRP 2.6.0.0 and I think I am running DSB kernel but really cant remember because its been so long, phone is unlocked and S-ON.
I am looking to update to 3.5.0 which looks to be the latest one available, I have a hard time telling because there is no order in the threads regarding the updates that have been released,
I seen it says that you need TWRP BETA .6 which I have downloaded, and I have already downloaded 3.5.0 Rom.
So now my question is, what kernel do I need in order to install these on my device without issue, and in what order do I need to update them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
I still have my unlock token bin saved, maybe it would be faster and easier to re lock the phone, update to stock OTA kitkat and then install 3.5.0? Looks like a custom kernel isn't necessary in the install instructions?
Let me know, thanks again in advance
*Bump*
