This is my first post,so go easy.
I rooted,S-off,and SuperCID my HTC One and have been running CLEANRom 4.0 and love it, but now that 5.0 is here I would like to upgrade my firmware from 2.24.401.1 to the newest firmware before flashing 5.0. I also messed up and never made a nandroid of stock so going back to that is going to be difficult. Is there any way that I can update without returning phone to stock.
What would the process be to get this thing done?
I have also downloaded the 1.26.502.15 if that is any help.

No need to revert to stock in order to install updated ROM. Firmware updates are optional but recommended.
Download a custom firmware file and flash in RUU mode.

Ah, this is good! :laugh:
Thanks for the reply!
Now all I need to know is what RUU mode is and how do I get it going on my phone before I install this thing?
Go to the international section and there are guides on how to do it, I suggest looking there

No, this wont touch any of that...it is just firmware zip with radio, so wont touch your rom. And you cant lose s-off or supercid, unless you manual type in the commands to change them.... but I read somwhere its good to reflash whatever rom you are currently running, after updating firmware. But may not be necessary.....

So the process is something like this:
1 Hook phone to computer
2 Put phone in fastboot
3 Run .exe file in the zip you download
enjoy?
Or am i missing a step in there? I keep seeing people re-lock the bootloader. Is that something that needs to happen?
I also downloaded one of these zips and it didn't have a exe file? was that one for side-loading?

Relock is necessary if not superCID.
Command is fastboot oem rebootRUU
Zip file is for flashing using fastboot. Go to RUU mode, then enter fastboot flash zip "zip name"

For the firmware link I posted above, there is no need to be superCID, as long as you have the CID listed in that post.
Also not so sure about needing to relock....following the instructions here, I had no problems.

Hey guys, I am going to try to get a replacement phone from VZW so I am going to re-lock the boot loader and run the RUU. From what I have read the stock recovery is needed for the RUU to work, but I haven't been able to find the file anywhere. Could someone link me to a download or a thread where I can download it?

All you have to do is lock the bootloader, place the ruu zip on your memory card, and change the ruu's name to ph89img, then run it in the bootloader. After that your good to go. I did it and the ruu reverted the recovery back to stock.

Or you can flash a stock recovery without relocking/flashing RUU and take the update if you are on stock ROM.
Why does everyone think you have to rearm your bootloader for updates?
Remember we have an unlocked bootloader which is signed by HTC you don't need to relock for anything, the signatures contained in it are valid
The only thing you have to make sure to receive the ota is to be fully stock, doesn't matter if rooted or not, and that you have stock recovery and all the bloatware that came with the phone, otherwise the update will fail.
Note : if your rooted you will loose root after the update.

IF you are 1.5 S-OFF then its business as usual. Flash the ROM from custom recovery like traditionally you would and you should be good.
Most of us have Hboot 1.5 S-ON, this method involves flashing the Kernel first (however you want to flash: fastboot or Flash GUI) and then flashing the ROM via custom recovery.
im sorry i mistyped, im s-on, and i do know how to flash roms i was wondering the proper steps to update to the newest firmware. i have read many instructions about it but im a moron and got confused along the way
again thanks
Where can i download a stock recovery image?

Extract the recovery.img file from a RUU/ROM.zip file.
And then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or rename it to PG86IMG.ZIP and run it like an ruu?
If that's the case, can you just run the last Sprint ruu then do update? Or will the ruu not overwrite recovery and kernel? Trying to figure this out to without messing up the phone. I am also running with 1.5 s-on.

IF you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader the first thing you need to do is download the stock rom and install it to the ROOT of your sdcard under the name PG86IMG.zip the reboot into your hboot screen, done by holding the volume down button and then the power button...it will start to load this new file... follow the prompts to allow it it to install fully... then frokm there let it boot up once.... then shut it down and reboot into your hboot again then relock your bootloader via the fastboot methid and then reboot again... from there you can update fully to HTC's roms and updates and then redo the procedure of unlocking your boot loader and then installing superuser....any other questions feel free to ask ill be up for awhile tonight....

Since you are s-on just lock your bootloader If you are unlocked , and use the latest 2.17 RUU.exe....then unlock again...and root it.
the reason i gave a list of thiungs to do is bc i dont have my hands on your phone... you stated you have s-on... you should if you have 1.5 bc you cant turn that off... above that though your phone should say *unlocked* you need to set it back to say *relocked*
and you mus also make sure the recovery you have is the factory one... if you have twrp or clockmod for a recovery you will end up erroring out when the phone reboots and tries to install it... and if that happens youll end up having to flash the rest to get it to boot again

This has them all, but These are STOCK roms without root, they do not contain super user or busybox or anything, so you will lose root, you shouldn't have to re-lock to update though... it should just let you update it, this is going to wipe out whatever your current rom is.
You probably want something more like an already rooted rom though...

I have an AT&T HOX+ running stock. It's unlocked via HTC and rooted. I cannot download any OTAs. I learned the hard way that you cannot download OTAs if you have any stock apps disabled so I've re-enabled them. Now it goes through the motions and finds the update, but when I connect to Wifi all I see is a blank message as seen in the attached screenshot.

Maybe Unroot and try.......
You must first flash the stock recovery and then relock bootloader using the command "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot. The stock recovery.img can be flashed using the fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" where "recovery.img" is replaced with whatever your recovery name is and .img. Make sure you flash the recovery before relocking. Root should not mess up the update although you will lose root after the update. I updated while the device was still rooted!

It's not the unrooting that will cause you to lose any data or other content on your device. It is the re-unlocking of the bootloader or the running of a RUU. AFAIK, there is no way to keep your device contents while you update the radio and hboot. The only option is to backup contents of SD, backup apps using Google or TiBU, and backup sms and call log. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is how it goes. With that being said, it is not mandatory that you upgrade the radio/hboot in order to install a ROM that is sense 5/JB 4.2.2. There are already ROM's out there for AT&T built on this base

If you update via the OTA then your factory firmware WILL be updated. Maybe you can request that a dev make a ROM that is stock and rooted sense5/JB 4.2.2, you might grab the interest of someone.. That way you could have a "stock" image of the ROM and avoid the radio/hboot upgrade. Otherwise, you will just have to go through the update process, wiping your device. IMO, backing everything up is not too painstaking and it is a good practice to do this periodically anyways. Just my .02!
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Backing up isn't too difficult on JB. I've done it manually as well as with Helium and other apps throughout the rooting/experimenting process. It's been my experience that those app backups don't restore properly and I'm left starting over anyway. The issues could be app specific, but I honestly don't remember which apps didn't work now.
Of course, I suppose it's all a small price to pay to have a phone that actually works when I connect my BT headset.
Where does one find the stock recovery?
I hope this isn't silly, but I've been running custom recovery forever and I'm blanking as to where to locate/d-load the stock recovery.

OK, well after dusting off the cobwebs and reading some threads for the Intl version I learned this... the stock firmware will also contain the radios and stock recovery. So now I'm looking for the correct firmware to match my phone's CID and Modelid. The command to dump these variables out is 'fastboot getvar all'
My AT&T OneX+ reported this:
(bootloader) modelid: PM6310000
(bootloader) cidnum: CWS__001
There's a txt file in the firmware.zip that will contain a list of the applicable CID numbers the firmware can apply to. Evidently since our phones are S-on an entry in the list must correspond to the device's reported CID.
So now I'm searching for an updated firmware.zip
You can find the stock rom here as found in this thread.
Now that we have our own specific forum, would it be plausible to get some sort of step-by-step guide on how to go about installing the KitKat OTA if you're rooted? In browsing through the megathread from before, I get the impression that I will need to flash the stock recovery and relock my bootloader, then unlock once again once I've updated, but the thread itself is a bit daunting and the advice is pretty well scattered amid the various conversations there. Can we get some sort of consolidated guide from someone more knowledgeable than myself?
(Thank you in advance, by the way. I know I will be highly appreciative.)

TehFlash said:
If you have the different partition layout that was introduced with the KitKat update, and also have the upgraded HBOOT then I guess i'll write up this guide. To get the phone back in proper working order, you need to do this.
1) Make sure you have the HTC drivers installed, and HTC Sync Manager fully uninstalled. ADB/Fastboot and such in working order, etc.
2) Download the KitKat OTA ZIP from Duir's Drive Folder here https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B-kSF8g8H7KudEFRU1hPMjRObU0&export=download and open it up and take out firmware.zip
3) Get into HBOOT on the phone, and flash that firmware.zip file by running fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and also run fastboot flash update firmware.zip both will say FAIL but for me that worked if that didn't work then relock your device by running fastboot oem lock and then get back to fastboot and run fastboot oem rebootRUU (case-sensitive) and then issue fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and also run fastboot flash update firmware.zip and reboot to fastboot again
4) If you had to relock your device unlock it by getting your Unlock_code.bin from HTCdev and issue this command when you're in fastboot which is fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
5) download Duir's TWRP recovery built for KitKat which is located here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-kSF8g8H7KuME12ai1OVHVqd3M&usp=sharing grab the openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-zaracl.img and then flash that by issuing fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-zaracl.img
6) Boot up into recovery, and format Data middle button on the right and type in 'Yes' and then wipe everything (you might have to reboot back into recovery again and then wipe everything) The reason to format Data using that button is because of KitKat remapping the partitions
7) Grab the KitKat TWRP backup from here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8-7I2_Vt73ldUNPd2c4X0xoQXc/edit
8) while that downloads make a pseudo backup, and then when thats finished mount your SDcard and open up the KitKat TWRP backup on windows and just overwrite all the files in zara_cl442/zara_cl442 and then reboot back into recovery again.
9) Restore the Backup you made and overwrote with the KitKat TWRP backup
10) go into fastboot and go back to Duir's drive located here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-kSF8g8H7KuME12ai1OVHVqd3M&usp=sharing and grab KK_stock_boot.img and then flash that by issuing fastboot flash boot KK_stock_boot.img in a command prompt
11) Reboot into the System and it should work

That seems really complicated and sort of risky. Can't we just restore stock recovery and boot. Relock boot loader. And then install the ota as downloaded.

That's what I was wondering. I'm alright with re-rooting afterward (and after that I'm going S-OFF so I can use Viper4Android).
On a side note, has anyone noticed higher battery consumption with KitKat? My wife (who is unrooted and generally doesn't mess with her phone) updated and her battery died twice yesterday with no real increase in usage.

Read the instructions http://rumrunner.us/instructions/ then download rumrunner 0.5.0 under "htc universal downloads" and run it as administrator
The only thing I changed on my phone was gain root, unlock bootloader and flash Philz Touch cwm recovery. I haven't gotten s-off or changed H-boot. I don't want to change anything else if I don't have to. Is there anyway to get the update. I don't care if I lose root.

U should get s-off then flash stock recovery, unroot ur device and relock the bootloader then update kk by tapping "system updates" in settings or run the ruu to get everything back to stock. S-off wont be affected

Alright I'll try that when I get home and let you know how it goes. Thanks a bunch.
Alright. So it didn't work. It works fine at first but at about 40% through the update it shows a red exclamation mark inside a red triangle on the phone. I unrooted and flashed the stock recovery from the development thread on the new forum. The jelly bean one. And relocked the
Bootloader. Ugh. This is really frustrating. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to get rid of s-off as well. That's fine if I do.
