CAN'T Update AT&T HTC One(M7) 4.4.2! - AT&T HTC One (M7)

So I recently bought an unlocked AT&T HTC one M7 still running 4.3.
I know that 4.4.2 is out with sense 5.5 and I have been unable to do this update OTA.
I've research forums and read that I could possibly use something called RUU(ROM Update Utility) to flash the 4.4.2 update onto my phone and need to confirm if this is possible.
Also, my phone is NON rooted and I also need to know if I'm still able to use RUU without rooting my phone?

If you care about rooting and installing custom roms I wouldn't update to 4.4.2 yet. You can s-off yet on the 1.56 hboot and install custom roms on the HTC one international subforum. If you don't then you can install the update thru your phone. Also another thing to mention is you can flashed the stock 4.4.2 Rom if you unlocked bootloader and install custom recovery

Do not update
I have recently got an update OTA with my AT&T HTC One, which got it to 4.4.2 with HTC Sense 5 but whatever you do do not update your phone, yet. After I got this update, my phone got bricked because of this. I have issued the Repair with HTC which all they need to do is replace the mainboard, but do not get this update if it's available yet until HTC fixes there HTC Sense, as HTC Sense was also the main reason for my phone bricking its self. Just a heads up it's only as 60% chance of this happening to all users with the AT&T Model

Really? Did it just turn off and never go back on?

Did AT&T pull the update then? I've been wondering why my AT&T HTC One hasn't received this update yet and have been looking in to installing it myself. Maybe I'll wait.

I had that problem too a while back. Try contacting AT&T through chat (or calling them) and tell them that you need the update pushed to your phone. They will give you a code to put into your dialer that will tell the server that you need the update pushed to you.
Hope this helps!

I already tried that and claimed that they didn't have the ability to do that. No idea why. I tried doing a check in with Google and I even tried clearing the Google services framework. Which I know I'm not supposed to do but tried it anyway. I'm new here and I am having a tough time finding a simple walkthrough on getting the OTA update installed manually.

Just flash a custom ROM or AOSP Crespo ROM. If your ROM is the one that you got with your phone then it should have no trouble updating. I don't know when Gingerbread checks for updates but I remember when I first got my phone it updated pretty much straight away.
Regardless, flashing to a stock or custom ROM would probably be your best bet as, from what I've heard, Google will be pushing OTA updates to the Nexus S for ICS soon anyway.

Try pushing it. Set the date for a year down the line and leave the phone for an hour.

In my phone also i was not getting any update .
The phone was bought it from USA , which is a factory unlocked T Mobile Nexus S and the same is using in India, through Vodafone.
What i done was, changed my SIM to the T-Mobile which came along with the pack and immediately i got a system up-gradation message. Now enjoying ICS.

[Q] Updated to 4.3 from 4.1.2... now PROBLEMS! Can I go back?

Hello!
I'm new to all this and I try to read and understand but the this stuff is way out of my league.
So I bought the phone last week, I'm talking about the HTC one 32gb and it came with android 4.1.2. Then the new update came out and I was excited and all to see what it has to offer. I updated and then problems or bugs per se started with the phone.
Before the volume out of the speakers was loud and clear whereas now is much lower and I get this popping sound after a notification or song, and it bothers me.
Before I was getting awesome battery life with my typical use and now it seems to drain without touching it.
When I charge the phone I wait until it's a 100% then unplug, check the battery setting and it's on 98% or lower
Those are so far the problems I've found, but enough to make me want to return the phone.
With this said, I was wondering if Icould go back to 4.1.2 and start there until a good update comes up. I'm new to all this and in the case that this can be done, could anybody help me out to go back? Like a "for dummies" guide or something would be awesome.
Thank you so much

Thanks for the answer... But how do he make that possible and how do I go back to 4.1.2?
Anyone with this device that has noticed this problems?
Run the ruu for 4.1.2 if that's what you want.
There is no problem with the update, though. It runs smooth and everything is good to go.

No, it's an exe program that you run on your pc while your phone is plugged into it.

Thank you xcrazydx, last question of the night sir, any guide and links so I can get this done? You know, the 4.3 to 4.1.2 downgrade using that RUU thing? Ive searched around but it seems the guides are ment for those users that have rooted or in a custom software version, and I'm not
Read vomers guide in the international one forum.
All you really need is to have the drivers installed and fastboot unchecked. Plug in your phone and make sure it's recognized on your pc. Then just start the exe you downloaded from HTC.

Considering that ruu is going to completley wipe your phone, you should probablly factory reset your phone first and try out the update nice and clean. It may alleviate your concerns.

Yes... Via an RUU.
I really don't understand why you would though, try a factory reset and start fresh on the 4.3 update before looking at running the ruu because it's gonna wipe your data anyways.

I'm looking to go from 4.3 (official firmware) to a GPe on my AT&T One.
The 4.1.2 RUU .exe is no longer on HTC's website (only 4.3).
Does anyone have the official HTC firmware RUU.exe for 4.1.2? If so, can I simply flash this, then get S-OFF via Revone/Moonshine/Toolkit to set up my phone for a GPe flash (that gets OTAs)?
Or if I'm on 4.3 am I stuck forever?

is there a tutorial on how to do this?
I've done factory resets and it's not helping. My phone is no longer reading sim cards and the "boom sound" is fairly low in volume so I thought I'd try to go back to an old version and see if it works

Not able top update phone?

I have had the AT&T HTC One for about 4 months now and it has never found a system update. I now know that the Kit Kat update is available, but again my phone tells me there is no update available and that it is up to date when I know it is not. I live in the US and I know others have gotten the update so I am not sure if something is wrong with the device or what...I am still on Android version 4.1.2 and HTC Sense version 5.0.
I have checked for the update while on Wi-Fi and still noting it says it is up to date. Is it possible I have just yet to receive it or is there something else I should try. or a way to get the upgrade manually?
Thanks
PS: sorry if I posted in the wrong section

Try setting your clock a few months ahead. That has worked for some.
Gave that as hot and still nothing. My phone will occasionally start searching for an update but it will do it for hours and never find anything...not sure if its the phone or the update. I have read there were glitches. And I have read that some people have had it available one day and it was gone the next.could it have been removed to work out bugs? Or do I need a new SIM maybe? Seems like no update works.

OTA worked fine for me and did nothing but checked for it.
My ota won't do anything. Says it cannot find an update. I'm tempted to return the phone to AT&T and see what's up

No not really
It may be easier to get s-off with your current 4.1.2 setup but if your not interested in being unlocked and rooted you can just take the Signed RUU followed by the OTA.
The signed RUU is a windows app ..you can get it here
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
Or you could just go to the store and get a new SIM.
My One (got it from Best Buy in the fall) wasn't updating, no matter what I tried (factory reset, changing the date, re-locking my bootloader). I read on another forum about someone getting a new SIM. When I went to the AT&T store this morning, I told them that I called Tech Support and they told me to come in and get a new SIM. They switched it out, no problem. The funny thing was, the guy remarked that my SIM (from Best Buy) looked a little different. Sure enough, I could tell it was colored a little different.
I get home and the OTA started downloading the second I connected to my WiFi (battery has to be over 50% - mine was around 90% due to just coming off car charger).
I'd go the new SIM route first, just to save yourself the hassle of reloading/reinstalling everything on your phone.

Rooting M8 after att update

Hi everyone,
I have used the forums in the past to root my old s3 and before that to root/add a custom rom to an old HTC Aria so I do have a little experience with modifying phones. I recently got the HTC m8 (att version) and was holding off on doing anything to it until the EPS got added. Since the update today, EPS is currently live on my phone. How would I go about rooting it now? I saw a post about the old root methods, but will they still work with the new update? I basically want to root my phone so that I can uninstall any bloatware. I know I can disable it but would prefer to get it off completely. On my s3 I also used an app to prevent certain apps that I periodically used from automatically starting up. Would rooting be my best option? I have read up a little on the S-off, and I don't believe I need to do this to uninstall bloatware, but please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance for any advice.
You may just wanna boot loader unlock and flash twrp first in order to keep that full stock image. So once you start uninstalling things you don't run into trouble. Also it's the easiest method to root (after fastboot flashing twrp 2.7.0.2, you can flash supersu 1.94 via recovery and your good to go. Stock backup with root

Old root methods worked for me, so unlocking the boot loader, flashing TWRP, then flashing supersu will work.

If you're already S-Off, then the update can't do anything about it.
If you're S-On, and firewater was patched in the update, then you shouldn't be able to S-Off (unless another exploit is found). Thing is, I don't think anyone who's S-On has updated yet to test firewater. I will when I get my replacement, but I won't have that for days.

SWEET! Looks like AT&T was either too lazy or didn't have enough time to have HTC patch it (betting on former), either way we still have the ability to S-Off.
Guess I'll be able to give another confirmation in a few days.

Why not s-off before updating? As you already said, this is always going to be the safer route.

With my luck, I'll somehow get the one M8 that was updated prior to shipping.
If it's not updated, I'll definitely S-Off before that, but I was also wondering for people who get M8s with 1.58.502.1 on the phone from the factory.

Some people are having issues with the OTA update after they S-OFF. About 30-40% through the update process, their phone freezes with a red exclamation point on the screen. Then again, it works for others, so I'm not really sure what's causing the issue.

[WTA] Lollipop Update

I'm currently using the At&t version of HTC one M8. Im very curious about the lollipop update. Is lollipop version has officially come out for htc one m8 at&t version? Why i saw many people having lollipop update for their phone and everytime i check for updates there is nothing? Im still using kitkat though (4.4.2)
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I just received a replacement device the other day (3rd one in a week) and it is still using KitKat as well. When I go to check updates it says there are none available. Is there anything else I can do besides continuing to check?
You might have to clear cache and wait a bit for the update to show up. My friend did a factory reset and it showed up after a while
So, how to clear the cache without factory reset?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
OTA updates sometimes don't get received for a variety of reason. Clear cache, or factory reset may cause the update to come through. But its not silver bullet. RUU however, will certainly work (backup your personal data first).
What is RUU? Sorry im still a newbie.

Read under the "RUU" section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
RUU is a cleaner and therefore better install method (than OTA) anyway; as long as you don't mind your personal data being wiped, and setting the phone up again after RUU.
