Hi all, I know there's no official AT&T update to Marshmallow yet for LMY48Z but is there any way around this, perhaps by fooling the system?
It's for my girlfriend's device, which is NOT unlocked or rooted. I'm considering Android N, but slightly prefer a more stable route.
Thanks!

Fastboot flash the factory image from google. You will have to unlock the bootloader. There's tutorials in the general section to help you. Then you'll be on stock 6.0.1, and can flash each monthly update as it is released.
Thanks, but that will wipe the data from her tablet, correct?

No, it will not if you flash the bootloader, system, vendor, and boot images individually in fastboot. But you really will need to do a factory reset. When upgrading major system steps like this, 5.X.X to 6.X.X you will face a lot of force closes and other issues unless you wipe...
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't wipe data any more?

Unfortunately, unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device.

When I saw the news for the HTC Thunderbolt ICS update finaly out I got so excited, I returned my phone to stock, ran the update, and was happy... not thinking "what if they update the HBOOT"...well THEY DID. Stupid me for not waiting one more day for the rooted release! So now Im unable to acheive S-OFF as my HBOOT is now 1.08.0000.
Perhaps its too soon to be asking this, but is there a way to S-OFF the new HBOOT?
Nope you're Sol until an exploit is found. Oh and there is an if there too because I don't know how much interest there will be in finding an exploit for an old device.

Well if anything came out of this, we now know for certain the results of accepting the update and hopefully warn others. I have to take this phone into best buy for repairs, and seeing as I already did this once and they just gave me a (defective) refurbished model, they most likely will do it again.
HBroot off
I have been able to get S-off via HTCdev after I requested the code to unlock the bootloader. I am stuck now with root and I would love to know if somebody knows how to push the root onto the ICS stock rom?

That can't be done. If you're s off flash the ics radios in Santods post in the developer section and then flash the ics rom.

Yes you should be able to flash superuser in recovery to get root. You won't be able to use the stock ICS ROM though if you're still s off

Yes but the tool (Thunderbolt tool) does not handle HBoot 1.08 at the moment. I wish it would because this would solve my problem
Find the thread that has the fastboot flash able form of cwm and then get back to me. I'm thinking that the root method may be different now though so I'm worried an ordinary version of superuser won't work.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I decided to take the plunge, and perform the OTA, after that hopped over to HTCDev to get the bootloader unlock to root. Flashed the handy dandy CWM recovery from fastboot, and rebooted into recovery. Flashed the SuperUser package. Guess What? No ROOT.

I did a fastboot and flashed frev3vo, and ran adb shell.....although I wasn't root at the prompt, I was able to su root from adb shell, but I don't know at this point how to get back to root. I probably can't load an RUU either cause I lost S-OFF.

Yes I know there have been threads on this but all deal with custom roms.
I have the stock rom, rooted and unlocked bootloader, with TWRP recovery. What do I need to do to get the OTA update, OR is the update available anywhere that I can just flash it through TWRP.
I am assuming I will need to flash the stock recovery back (Which I don't have), and possibly lock the bootloader. Does locking it clear the phone like unlocking it does?
Is the AT&T OTA update 4.2.2 or just some tweaks? Anyone know the benefits?

You need to be completely bone stock to get any sort of OTA updates. And the update you're talking about depends on what you're running now.

What is the lastest FW for htc one At&t?
I am sick of waiting att to release 4.2.2. The only solution I read now is to convert att rom to developer edition, which requires s-off and supercid. However, I have no intention to keep the device bootlocker unlocked. And I heard current s-off and s-on methods no longer work with 4.2.2.
So would it work if I convert the rom to developer edition, then s-on and relock the device, and at last upgrade to 4.2.2?
I'm running 1.26.502.12
I believe this is the latest.

Why are you guys waiting to upgrade to 4.2.2 if you are unlocked and rooted? Just install a custom ROM that is built from 4.2.2 basebuild?
I've been running 4.2.2 on my at&t htc1 since day one of owning the phone.

That is a viable option if you're already rooted. I ran AT&T stock rooted 1.26.502.12 for a while myself. But I've used both Scott's Clean Rom (Based off of stock AT&T/ HTC 4.1.2) and I'm using Android Revolution HD 12.1 today (HTC 4.2.2). Once you're rooted, there's those and plenty of other variations on HTC's Sense 5 interface with either 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 out there so there's not really allot of reasons to stay bone stock. Any updates (or the useful parts of them, at least) will be picked out and used by the Devs we have working on the One so I wouldn't bother waiting on OTAs. Just keep a nandroid of your stock setup in case you need to revert back for warranty purposes.
Good luck with att. They genuinely suck. I flashed to viperrom and supercid and flashed firmware my self. Not going to wait till Christmas for a damn update from them while they figure out how to update their terrible apps like att drive.

Motorola does allow it. VZW and ATT are the reason their versions are locked down. Sprint/TMo/USCellular/international are all unlockable via moto.

Chainfire himself doesn't recommend flashing bootloader and radio using FlashFire.
The safest way to install those is using fastboot from a PC.
If you want to just unroot, and you are systemless, you just need to flash the boot.img.

Download the developer preview #2 then use flashfire and use the flash firmware and then it will give you a few choices on what you want to keep (recovery, data, other stuff) them hit the flash button. If you look on YouTube there's a few great tutorials from maow droid and gadget hacks that I learned from. Hope I have helped.

From DP to 7.1.1 the modem hasn't changed.
Otherwise yes, it should have been updated through fastboot.

FWIW -- the modem included with 7.1.1 is 03.78. The modem that was on my 6P originally was 03.72 (but I was two security updates behind at this point, counting the one in 7.1.1). Who knows what changed between the two. Maybe something significant, or maybe not. But as a matter of practice it's probably just easier to take the time to update the modem with fastboot after a FlashFire OTA update finishes, rather than taking the time to research whether anything significant changed in the modem. Even with this extra nuance though, using FlashFire is still an improvement over manually flashing each partition and then re-rooting.
I've been out of the game as far as rooting and flashing kernels/roms since the Nexus 6. I was wondering if there were some instructions for the snapdragon version to get this thing rooted and on my way to aosp . I'm using this phone until the pixel 4 releases
