Afternoon all,
I'm quite new to the android scene so please forgive me if this sounds an obvious question.
I have a HTC one that has been rooted and unlocked the bootloader. I haven't flashed a custom ROM to the device i'm still using the original factory OS. I wanted to flash a google edition ROM to my device but decided against it as I was a bit of a novice with Android.
Anyway I have a software update available to me on my phone which I can't install because it it rooted, could anybody help me with how I can install this update or how I can Unroot my phone and lock the bootloader again so I can install it.
Many Thanks

Hello,
Long time reader here. I finally made an account recently because I finally wanted to Root my phone and mess around with Cyanogenmod.
My question is this: I have an unlocked, unbranded Samsung GT-i9300 that I purchased from Newegg back in the summer time and I have still yet to receive any sort of update (still on 4.0.4). Can someone explain to me the whole stock updates scenario? I would have thought buying an unlocked, unbranded phone I would have at least gotten updates faster than the Verizon S3. Now.. I know I can flash Cyanogenmod and be done with it. Which I have which leads me to the last question. What happens if I flash my phone with the 4.1.2 stock rom that was just released in Poland recently? Will it work? Why wouldn't it? Does the baseband really matter as far as compatibility? (PDA? CSC?)
Thank you for your time.
I answered my own questions. Thanks for looking
I was so excited I forgot to elaborate a little.
I was successfully able to root my phone using cf root / odin, install clockworkmod recovery, install cyanogenmod 10 then re-flash back to stock using triangleaway, and a stock rom from samsung firmware using odin.
I had thought I bricked my phone when it was in an endless loop on the splash screen but I was able to get into android recovery mod and do a format/wipe/clean cache. *phew*
I'm new on the forums, and I rooted my HTC One for AT&T, have the TWRP custom recovery and flashed the Google Play Edition ROM on my phone. Now I just received the 4.3 update for my phone, now I feel if I update I will lose my root, and possibly brick my phone because my phone is not an actual Google edition and I'm sure AT&T hasn't started rolling out the update yet...any suggestions?

Hey if you have a custom rom it won't install. If you fully convert to GPE it may install. Also there is the updated rom available http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341395
Thank you so much man! You're a life saver I couldn't find this forever
Hey everyone.I really want to install icecream sandwich 4.0 on my LG eclypse and I sorta know how to install a rom but with the lg-c800g it doesn't seem to have a bootloader or recovery system it just has factory reset so I was wondering if some one help me install Tom's without going into bootloader or perhaps some app that will install it automatically.for me.Iam just saying this phone is not widely known either but anything helps. Thx
Hello, guys. I need some help, if you can.
First question is if i need to root my device before installing a 4.2.2 rom. Currently i have 4.1.2 JB, but it's from factory and i haven't got the update from official soft. I don't care why i haven't, but i want it to be done.
I've read thousands of forums about rooting, installing roms and etc, but i still have some questions.
Second one is: If i finally manage to do that update to 4.2.2, what rom should i go to from there on? Stay at 4.2.2 or go further? I need a stable one, i'm not really a andoid geek, but sounds fun to get into it.
Which rom should i trust to install? First of all, i know that if i want to install a newer one, i still need to go from a 4.2.2 so i'm stuck at him for now.
And the most important: Can you provide me a link to instructions? I haven't ever done a root or installed a rom, so i'm virgin in this kind of stuff.
Best regards, Dezaxat.
Up, please ?
Hey guys,
im using HTC-Smartphones since the Realease of the first HTC Desire HD.
Now my old HTC one m8 broke and i bought a new one from the internet.
The guy who sold it told me it was a original HTC one M8 GPE (Google Playedition) but rooted. The Bootloader tells me it is unlocked.
The Application SuperSU is installed and im getting the notifications for OTA Updates.
And here the problems start.
Whenever im trying to install on Update and my phone reboots for it im Landing on a "Team WIn recovery Project 3.0.2-0" screen and cant install the Update properly.
I uinstalled the App SuperSu by a mistake when i clicked on sth with "unroot" in the settings.
now my phone frequently crashes saying "Android-system" has been terminated (in german).
So i have these questions:
First of all: How do i find out if the M8 is really an original GPE or just flashed with a GPE Rom?
Second: Can i somehow install a completely new Version of the GPE or restore the origininal GPE stock Rom without root-Access?
PS: Sorry for my bad english. Im from germany and i wrote this in a hurry.
Kind regards.
Anyone can help me?
