I was wondering what is a good ROM to use on my HTC One m7? I am currently using the stock ROM that first came with my phone. I have rooted and installed TWRP recovery but I know that there has been some OTA updates released for my phone as they (Annoyingly) keep reminding me on my phone that there is something to download and install. Now beings how I have installed TWRP and rooted my phone I cannot install the OTA updates, but I would like to get my phone up to par with everyone else.
Is there a good custom ROM that is basically like the stock ROM that has all the OTA updates in it already that dont cause me to lose beats audio and the other features that i seem to be hearing about? I have been wanting to install one but I always hear that they remove some of those things by doing so.
As a side note does anyone know where to get the RUU for my version? 1.27.531.7 I cant find it anywhere.
Pretty much all the roms look like the stock ROM and have the OTA update in them already. The only thing you have to worry about is losing WiFi calling when flashing the roms that are available.
I suggest flashing all the ROMs and make up your own mind which one is best for you.

I haven't found a straight answer yet, so I am posting here. I am currently stock but I would like to root some time in the near future. I would also like to try the update before rooting. However, I am concerned that if I apply the update that the root method in the development forums may no longer be valid. Is it possible that Verizon could lock down the phone with this OTA update such that I will not be able to root after it is applied?
Thanks,
Josh
The ota is the exact same as what was leak about 2 weeks ago. JCase compared both and made that determination. I believe he also made a root unsigned copy for down load. Most devs have already incorporated this update into their roms. The only thing is the new radio will need flashed. Check out the development section and look for the roms posted by jcase. It is best not to run the ota/leaked on the older radio as they compliment each other. Any other questiins pm.

I thought this update included the new radios?
U would have to flash the entire ruu, and that will give u everything. Most rooted flash the rom through recovery the flash radio through hboot. Jcase has a nice op in the development section.

So if I update my stock phone via the ota update, I can still root afterwards if I decide no problem?
It appears that yes you should be able to root the ota via JCase's root tutorial.

If u decide to flash a custom rom, the update is in most of them, u would just have to flash the radio separate.

Hey Guys,
I rooted my Thunderbolt but I really don't like it anymore. I'm really new to this and just want to go back to the factory settings. I can't get the OTA update doing it manually and its pissing me off.... can anyone help me?

If you're rooted, you could have gotten the OTA update weeks ago. But if you are determined to return to stock for whatever reason, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423.
A lot of roms already have the OTA's long before they are released, i use those and dont even bother with OTA's anymore. I would really consider staying with root. theres so much more you can do i dont see why anyone wouldnt want it. but if you are determined to then the link mentioned above works fine.
What radio should I flash via hboot on Das BAMF v1.6.3? There are 4 combos to choose from.
Which radio combo is included in the OTA that just went out a few days ago? Is that the one I should choose for Das BAMF v1.6.3?
Noob here
Let me explain my situation.
I want to root my TB, but I have the newest OTA (2.11.605.9)
I was going to downgrade to 2.11.605.5 to use the revolutionary tool.
Then I saw a couple post saying that overnight the device would auto-update and cancel the root, so some people would keep the phone in airplane mode but I saw a post saying that you could download a custom rom to stop the auto-update process. What is that rom called? Can you explain exactly how to get?
I don't know that much about all this stuff.
A few other things:
I have not downgraded my software yet, nor have I rooted the TB.
I'm just waiting to see if their is indeed a Rom that could stop the auto-updating, so I don't root my TB for no reason.
Sorry if this question was posted already, but I just really want to know.
I believe almost any newer rom will stop it. I highly recommend taking the plunge. Im on ikream now, its great, but homestly, coming from the dinc, all these roms on the tbolt fly. Airborne is one seriously sweet rom also.

Any rom will do
Hey guys, the OTA update from rogers HTC Evo 3D ICS has been released and i would like to up date my phone. The problem is that im running LeeDroid_3D_V5.4 and it doesn't seam to have a software update option in the settings menu.
So my question is, for me to get this update, must i restore my phone back to the original software using the Rogers RUU that i have downloaded?
Thanks, Peter
I am in the same boat here.
Everyone always says when you have root you shouldn't update your phone, just wait a little while and the devs will upload a version that you can flash without losing root.
Well I have yet to see this happen, it has been like a week since the ICS update and all the devs are using a still updating roms with a cluster**** of random leaks and bases.
Can someone just upload the stock rogers ICS rom so I can flash it without losing root and not having to flash back to my stock RUU?
I mean if we have all these versions of the official rom why are you guys still using leaks at all?
Check out Virtuous Shooter, it's pretty close to stock and most of the changes are performance related anyways.
PS A lot of the ROMs aren't using leaks anymore...

From my understanding, to take the OTA, you must relock your phone and then run the RUU. I would just wait until one of the talented devs builds a ROM based on the OTA because it will be much better anyway.
Ok. Thanks a lot everyone for there imput , I am thinking ill just hold out untill a stock Rogers ICS is released rather then do all that work to just have to reroot and probably end up installing another ics Rom over it anyways. I'm thinking this will be by King Cobra Roms as he always dose stock roms, so ill see what he comes up with. I am really looking forward to features in 4.0 and 4.1 . So hopefully they can get there buts in gear , put out a nice Rom, and ill buy them a few coffees and a pizza Thanks again everyone , have a good one !

Hi,
I would like to install a non rooted version of ICS on my Thunderbolt.
This Thunderbolt is only being used for development, so I don't pay verizon on it, meaning the OTA doesn't work.
Would anyone know where I could find the PG05IMG.zip of the whole ICS update ?
Thank you

You would have to ask HTC, Verizon, (or Football? maybe) if you can find him for an RUU.
There was never one distributed that I have seen.
I compiled it together with 2.11.605.19 just as they would have on the device itself with the OTApkg.zip which contains many patch files.
There is no RUU that I have found yet, if I see one I will PM you a link for sure.
Closest you can get, is I can make a non rooted rom, but you would still need to be able to flash it.....so I don't know.

Oh then nevermind thanks, I'll just get the rooted one.
I'm looking for this too, as my bolt seems dead. I was on twisted's multi 1/13 but got frequent boot loops stopping at boot splash... So I tried to go back to stock but it still loops the same way. I was hoping the new OTA might do the trick.

Hey guys,
I'm not a developer and I've moved on from my Thunderbolt to a Note II meaning it has no more Verizon service. Do you think they'll be coming out with whatever file I need to get ICS on my phone without rooting? If there is no option, I can go the rooting route, but I would like to keep everything stock and this as a playtoy if possible.

The update didnt come in the form of an ruu. They made it a damn ball of patches that have to be applied to the stock .19 ROM. The ROM also cant have any system apps removed to make it work.

I am running a custom rom at the moment and I dont believe I ever updated the stock firmware. I have been looking everywhere to see what exactly is the benefits of the new firmwares, but I cant find anything about them. Can anyone explain to me if its worth going back to stock......getting the OTA upto 4.3 and then having to go through the whole rooting process again and putting a custom rom on? Thanks much!
It's easier to just s-off and then update the firmware so you don't need to wipe your device

So I went to the post with radios and firmware..........do I want the 4.3 one that came with RUU or the one that came in the OTA? Thanks much After I just have to figure out how to S-off........hope its not as big a pain in the butt as the HTC Evo was
Well nevermind about that...........I cant take S-off..........Im on Dirty Unicorn 4.3 and when I try to use revone and set up for S off (the part where after you do it you have to reboot) it just automatically reboots my phone everytime
