This forum is for the M7 variant, but if M8 is similar you will have to put the stock recovery back on the phone. If you unlocked it, then there is the possibility that your data/preload apps are missing and these will have to be replaced because the OTA will check for it. You might check with the HTC One M8 forum, I'm quite sure this is a big topic over there right now.

Hello!
I have a question regarding the bootloader og the LG G2. Maybe this even applies to previous products.
I've owned the HTC one X and if it was a branded phone you could not flash any stock firmware unless you would get S-OFF.
Now what i would like to know is how this is handled by LG? Can anyone enlighten me?
I'm deciding to pick up this phone and i'm not sure about the bootloader but it's of huge concern to me
Thanks in advance

First:
The Q and A section are for questions
Second:
Loki method was just confirmed for the verizon and AT&T version of this device. All you have to do is flash the recovery via adb (or maybe in the future with goomanager) and flash roms (when they are available. currently they are not)
This has a locked bootloader like the One X but Loki is an exploit that goes around the bootloader without having to unlock it.
Third:
htc one x didnt require S off to flash, it just required unlocking the bootloader via HTC DEV after changing your CID (i think that what it is called) to all 1's. S off is security off, it allows you to do more with the bootloader like remove tampered and unlocked or change your CID to another HTC One X variant to get OTAs
My god I had totally forgotten about the Q&A forum. I apologize. Due to my excitement for the LG G2 i just couldn't resist getting this posted ASAP. Much thanks !
Hi my HTC one m7 is currently running ViperOne and I would like to go back to stock os. the only problem is I'm a bit of a noob at this and I need to know how to install it, do I need an RUU ?, also Im in the UK and the carrier is vodafone. I currently have s-off and unlocked bootloader and really need to get back to stock 4.4.2 android. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I have HTC ONE M8 AT&T but my carrier isn't AT&T ,so previously i was on 4.4.2 than 4.4.4 released and i downloaded RUU from HTC official site and updated my phone without phone , just now i contacted HTC suppor to ask when Lollipop update will be released for AT&T , so he said i can install Lollipop update for unlocked versions which is released and i won't have any problem ? Please anybody help me will it really work ? Phone is RELOCKED
I think this should go to the Q&A thread
..
If your phone's CID is for at&t and you're s-on there's nothing you can do. Your options would be to pay for sunchine s-off and flash de lp firmware and one of the LP roms around. Once you're s-off you can either change CID to some other carriers with LP or unlocked and get that update. Or you can do what I did to get LP. Once you're on 4.4.4 get a custom recovery and flash viper Rom. It's LP and works perfectly.

Moved here as this does not belong in the Development Section, read the Forum Rules on posting....
I highly doubt it was told to you that you could install the developer ruu on an ATT device,wont work as cid is not same. Best option is if soff change cid to BS_US001 and then you can flash the developer build and not have to wait on ATT builds.

Hello.
I have an unrooted At&t HTC One M7. It is sim unlocked along with a locked boot loader and S-ON.
It is currently running on 4.3 Android version and the Software number is 3.17.202.3
I just want to update it to 4.4.2 (kitkat) using RUU File.
I need the link of the RUU file version for this.
I would love to update it without doing s-off and any other unlocking/locking thing.
if there is a way, please do let me know.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
RUU's are available via your region/countries HTC site.
