can you share the two ota files?
Yep, confirmed here too. Had checked software update about 30 minutes ago and nothing. Then checked now and it gave some small prep update. That is installing now.
Completely stock here, never rooted or unlocked or anything. Because of that I think my update will be just fine

You should have unlocked s-off cause the update says blocks rumrunner security off as a 'bug fix'

I don't think I'm going to do anything to this phone. I know it's odd that someone on XDA doesn't root or unlock or anything like that. I actually learned a hard lesson with the DNA. When I got it in early 2013 I bricked it. It could have been hardware related too. The display did funky things. It was replaced under warranty.
I used the replacement for some time before I sold it off then moved on to other phones. Back in January I saw on for sale on Craigslist. I bought it for like $60 but it was a bit beat up. Small crack on the top right of the screen and scratches everywhere. Now my DNA is mostly a spare phone.
What I find funny is the DNA now has KitKat and my primary phone is a Verizon Note 3 and it doesn't yet have KitKat officially. I did take the "leak" of KitKat and it is great. That's as close to any hacking I have done in ages. Probably should not have taken that leak for the Note 3 but too late.
My DNA is still installing the update. May try rooting but would rather not brick this phone.
At least you need to be on the stock recovery and ROM, I'm not sure if being s-on is required.
Give it some time, someone will post the new radio, hboot, and rom.

stock recoery
stock rom，you can root, but build.prop cannot be modified.
s-on+locked, or s-on+relocked, or s-off( locked, unlocked, or relocked will be ok)
your rom version must be 3.06.605.4
Anybody have the radios extracted for this yet? If you do, post them

Were you S-Off and rooted, with stock rom? and after the update did you remain rooted and s-off with no issues? if so what method did you use to get s-off?
This is a 2 part download, the initial one was about 30MB and it rebooted. Part 2 is 618MB.
Mine's downloading now but I'm at work so I can't capture the OTA unfortunately.
You have to manually initiate the update scan both times.

I am only 1/2 a noob cause I did this back in June - I rooted & installed CleanRom. I am 98% sure I did not go S-off, I am not sure what firmware I am on - Screenshot attached - hope it is helpful. The recovery software I have RA Revamped Build: RA-Vigor-v3.15, I thought I started with clockwork mod, not sure where this came from.
I would now like to try NILS Sense-less NeoMAX 2.0 [ICS De-Sensed 3.14.605.12]
Can someone tell me exactly what I need to do?
I appreciate the help.

Actually, from your baseband version, you're on gingerbread firmware.
So you can either flash NeoMax with an old firmware patch, or update to ics with a RUU.
I recommend updating to ics firmware.

Yes update to the latest ruu first. It will make things so much easier. Be aware that you need to get everything off you phone before you start the process, it will erase everything except for what is on the external sd card.
And yes this qualifies you as a full blown n00b. Sorry.

yep, as stated by other memebers you are runing GB with ICS firmware patch. which is fine but your radios are out dated.
you have 2 options at this point.
option 1 is to update to the .12 ruu, the one before the global release. this will give you the ability to flash newer roms that are not built off the global release, which there are more options to flash. this method will keep you s-on and still enjoy all the wonderful roms out there.
option 2 is to update to the global ruu. this will give you the most up to date rom s, but the downside is if you want to go back to an earlier build of ICS like neo's non global rom you will need to s-off the device.
let me know what option you want and i can help you with a mini guide on updating.

I think 3.14 based roms still work on global firmware as long as you use the right kernel.
But nonetheless, it's always best to be on a rom matching your firmware.

Man you guys rock!
What reason is there to stay s-on other than it is a bit trick to achieve s-off? I think everything becomes easier once I am s-off? So maybe I should just but the bullet (or the paperclip so to speak) and do it.
ASOP looks so interesting - when that is out and stable I most likely will want to try it - does that change what I should do in any way?

Again thanks to all taking the time to help - it is appreciated.
So I need to flash an updated firmware, I am sorry to be dense but firmware and rom are not the same? When I google 3.14.605.10 firmware download I get links to the OTA update that would seem to be the official rom.
Once I get that figured out I can Run Juopunut's S-OFF And then install any rom I want. .

my phone just prompted me about an att software update. anyone else get this? wondering what (if any) changes there are.
ran the update. one thing ive noticed is there is a new thing in power settings. something called application monitor. you can turn it off and on. it says it can notify you if apps are consuming extra power. interesting.....
Can you check the software build number and post it here?
what is the software version and all other misc. info???
android and sense are still the same

You folks with failed updates, the issue is you must have a stock recovery in order to apply a stock update OTA.
Bootloader is unlocked via HTCDEV so you will always be able to unlock it again if an hboot update is applied.
This is great news as its the newest build so devs have new toys

First of all you have missed a couple firmware updates, but since you are s-on you need to update using a RUU head to vipeRuu thread and follow the script instructions, then unlock again using htc dev, install twrp and then flash supersu and busy box, you will be s-on, unlocked and rooted on stock. Navigation doesn't work on some jelly bean roms on some phones, it just crashes, no fix as of today, use telenav, waze or scout. Good luck!

I would suggest using FacePalm to get your phone S-OFF
Then you can update your firmware/radios
There is no need to run an RUU unless you need to go back to stock reason being you don't really want to update your hboot
Any questions shoot me a PM

Because you can root without s-off.

yes you can root with out s-off but why not S-off of the ability is out there? S-off gives you unbridled access to your system for better of worse. Though you may be S-off you don't have to use it, but if you need it and don't have it then your screwed. Then you have to go through the entire process all over again. It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. This thread is a perfect example. He wants to upgrade his radio not impossible with s-on but far more difficult. When I updated my radio I just flashed the .zip file like a rom. No need to rename files place them In the root directory yada yada yada. Just my opinion.

By the way I'm not bagging you over it. Simply saying the phone came out in June last year S-off has been available since July the same year. A year later there are three versions that do the same thing. Good on you for realizing s-off needed to be obtained. Once you are s-off there is nothing that will keep you from truly manipulating your phone any way you desire.

Yeah, i rooted the phone the day i got it, the only thing available at the time was s-on. Phone was/is running great, but i noticed i'm 4 updates behind and i have started seeing 4g in my area so i though it would be a good time to update the radios. Thanks for the suggestions guys, i got s-off now and going to try to update later.
So my dna is s-off and rooted via moonshine (purchased used already like this)
Twrp recovery is installed and the ota is failing!!
I have searched for hours on how to return back to stock and find great info and I still don't understand it (obviously a newb)..
One thing I have installed on my windows 7 pc is the dna toolkit (will this get me back to stock?).
Can anyone point me to the most basic route to achieve this?
My wife thinks I'm crazy with the amount of time I have invested in trying to resolve this issue
Thanks, Matt
This may be a whole lot quicker of a resolution...
But you need a completely stock rom and recovery to take an OTA.
An OTA will not apply in a custom recovery.
None of the stock roms previously posted were clean enugh to accept the OTA that I could find.
So you would either have to use the decrypted RUU, take 5 OTA's and eventually get where you are going.
Or use the link I provided which is a clean enough base that it will allow OTA's to flash if desired in the future.(with stock recovery loaded)

I am a brand new DNA owner and not on Verizon so I can't get the OTA update. I plan to use it on ST via GSM. May I install your Rom above on a completely stock device that does not appear to be unlocked, s-off or rooted? And how would I go about doing that?

It may have been rooted at one time but I'm not sure since I bought it used. Thanks for any guidance on this.

You can check if it's rooted with Root Checker from play store.

Thanks. I just checked with Root Checker and I do not have root. So will Santod's rom provide root or is that a prerequisite to installing the rom?

You have to have recovery installed so you can flash his rom, so yes, you need to root it first, use moonshine method, then install on your phone something like flash img gui or even twrp, then get the twrp img. and flash it to your phone. After twrp is installed(after reboot into normal phone) you can download his rom to your phone and flash it using twrp again, it'll reboot into recovery automatically and install the rom .
Are you still needing help. No offense to the other guy but what he said made no sense.

So I have been fighting with my phone all freaking day and am ready to toss on the towel... I have been rocking Viper rom 1.8.0 for a couple months now and today they updated to the new 4.4.3 base. it was suggested rather strongly to update framework to 2.22.401.4. I am still on 1.54..... And here begins my saga....
I tried to update the framework with FUU, and it constantly fails out at the black screen with silver HTC logo. it was suggested that this is because I am still S-ON. so I went to the firewater thread and tried that. would NOT do anything untill I went away from Viper Rom and loaded Insert Coin rom. Firewater ran, but gave me a message stating that it is not possible to S-OFF my phone...
So I ask, HELP!!!!!!! I read about sunshine, but sadly right no I simply don't have 25 bucks to toss at an app that I do not know will work on my phone...
Ok, so I just read a different thread in the general section that states that firewater is no longer working... damn. looks like on payday I gotta drop 25 bucks....
I paid for SunShine last night since firewater wouldn't work for me
i ended up just paying for sunshine.
Like the others, I had to use sunshine. The other methods would not work for me.
AT&T 4.4.3 is available now?
Where I can find firmware?
UPD:
Sorry, now I see that it is was a custom 4.4.3 rom.

Its true more recent AT&T M8's do not work with firewater. Not sure if its directly linked to newer firmware number (1.58) or hboot, or some other factor, but its been reported by many here. Sunshine is your only real option.
Sunshine seems pretty darn reliable based on reports here. I don't think there is an issue with it not working like firewater.

Seeing as there is no 2.22 firmware "officially" available for the AT&T version yet, you must be trying flash another carrier's firmware. In that case, yes S-off is expressly required.
I got a refurb unit to replace my old phone that I had S-OFF and Bootloader unlocked... Unfortunately, It wasn't a lack of skill this last time, but the exploit used by firewater is out dated now. For whatever reason they haven't updated it since the phone's release so now everyone is left to pay for SunShine. I paid for it. It works, and great. Just the $25 dollars.. It was unfortunate.

First of all you need stock kernel for firewater or sunshine to work. Both of the roms you suggested have insecure kernel. I would flash your nandroid backup and try again, or ruu and try again. It has to do with when your phone was built if firewater will or will not work. Ive seen at&t with 1.12 fresh out of the box not accept firewater.

Those are some solid words and that right there is your answer. I hope you get it resolved. The way I look at it, $25 is a small fee to be on the safe side or you can have more issues and a lot of headache if firewater doesn't work and you have to buy sunshine.

Well, I restored my stock nandroid (that was what I tried first. ) and finaly got it S-Offed with sunshine. yay! granted I forgot that the account that is linked to my paypal account only had about 10 bucks in it, so after the overdraft fee sunshine cost me around 60 bucks!
But oh well. Im now S-OFF, and got the 2.22.xxx firmware flashed and am now rocking 4.4.3 ROM Viper 2.0.1.
Yeah, turns out a ton of people had issues S-OFF, but the thing is, all of these people had stock (rooted).
(commenting just for others who may stumble upon this)
You need to install a custom kernel that has an insecure kernel, ElementalX is what i used and
it worked fine.

Why would i waste 20$ on S-OFF, I'd rather go buy myself the Nexus 5 if i had to do that.
If a free option is available, keep trying it with different methods until you succeed or give up lol.

Phone was purchased week of release. Its 4.4.4 though. Maybe when i did that ruu it reverted back? Idk. I just used the toolkit supplied on "theunlockr" rooted it using the instructions on htcdev. Then i used firewater through a cmd window through an adb kit i downloaded. Very simple. Once i got the most updated version of the adb drivers it took probably 3 minutes.

If you or OP would like I could list all the steps and instructions in doing it.
Sunshine isn't working for me. I'm running ViperOne 2.5.0 with the stock kernel and it says "bad kernel" "we don't like your kernel". Tried with ElementalX as well. Same message.

I don't think that is correct, there is no stock 4.4.4 for this device yet (with exception of GPE).
Also, its not possible to revert or "downgrade" by RUU with S-on.

Contrary to post #11, my understanding is that stock kernel works with s-off when custom does not. Although apparently, there is some inconsistancy as that person was able to s-off with custom kernel.
Try a stock ROM, and I've also seen it posted that Maximus ROM works with Sunshine.

Well I'm running ViperOne 2.5.0 (full rom) with the stock kernel and it gives me that message. When I was running 2.4.0 (full rom) with the incremental update it said the kernel was bad (elementalx) but said nothing about the rom.
Anyone know of any other roms or kernels that work with SunShine other than Maximum/Stock?
