If i am rooted and unlocked bootloader can i update via att / htc update option on the phone?
I am not running a custom rom i have original stock rom all i did to the phone was root it and unlocked bootloader.
Am i able to just update to latest firmware now? I am not so much worried about keeping root / unlocked bootloader as long as i can update and be fine.
you should s-off your phone or you will be bricked if you take the ota.
I never recommend ota ...if you want it you can download a version in one x dev thread

S-off, Relock bootloader, run the 2.20 RUU, download the OTA, copy it to your sdcard and rename it update.zip, boot into stock recovery, flash update.zip, clap cause you're done.

Just as long as you're s-off, otherwise the last clause should be "cry because you're bricked."
Yea, that too I was hoping he would follow DvineLord's instruction before mine.

What advantage is there to the OTA update? I'm running ViperXl and getting incompatible device error with some market apps. Will this fix that or should I just wait for next Viper update?

I found out that it is possible to gain root access in an 'unrootable' update, IF you are S-OFF, by flashing ClockworkMod thru the bootloader, and then flashing Superuser thru ClockworkMod. I found out that this worked on the G2, as described here by rdmerck:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206930
So all i did was replace the android_info.txt and the recovery.img in his zip, with the ones for our device. I just tried it, and it worked! i have Superuser access in the new 1.55.531.3 ROM.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Pretty simple...
1. Download the 2 attached files, put them both on the root of your sdcard, and rename the CWM_HBOOT.zip to PG59IMG.zip.
2. Boot into the bootloader however you prefer, let it read the PG59IMG.zip, and press volume up to update when prompted. When it finishes, it will prompt you to press Power to reboot.
3. Now boot into recovery however you prefer, and it should be ClockworkMod(I used the Modaco 4.0.0.9 version, basically because i had it conveniently lying around in .img format. I'm sure Rom Manager could now be used to flash the latest 5.0.2.7 version of CWM). Choose 'install from sdcard', then 'choose zip from sdcard', then choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip and choose 'yes'. As has happened in the past, i had to flash it 3 times until it successfully installed. But it did work.
4. Choose to reboot, and enjoy root access on the latest stock ROM!
I figure a lot of people probably won't need all that instruction, but i included it for people who are newer to flashing stuff thru the HBOOT and CWM. I also figure that the user base for this will probably be very small, as most folks who are S-OFF probably are not choosing to run the stock ROM. But anyway, if you DO have S-OFF, i wanted you to know that you can have root access on the latest update. I figure this will also enable us to make nandroid images of the new ROM, if that would help development at all.
Anyway, here are the 2 files:
ClockworkMod: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/CWM_HBOOT.zip
Superuser: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
Note:
-This worked for me and should work for you, but use at your own risk.
-You must be S-OFF to do this.
-Hopefully this is only a temporary solution for those with S-OFF, until either Team Revolutionary cracks the update, or HTCDEV fixes whatever is preventing their bootloader unlocker tool from working on our device.

Yeah man, sounds good. I mean, perhaps this will be helpful to at least a few people, lol. It's an interesting and very simple idea tho... probably useful mainly on stock HBOOTs where fastboot is blocked, but S-OFF had been attained.

how do i upgrade to the latest OTA if i'm already on a rooted stock ROM?

Well, since nobody has made a custom rom with the latest OTA bits, you will have to do what I did:
You'll need to downgrade yourself with the stock PG59IMG.zip, putting that file (found here) on the root of your sdcard and booting into the bootloader.
That will basically return your phone to stock and, IIRC, revert your status to S-OFF Locked. Then you'll need to boot up and check for system updates. You'll definitely be given the first small OTA update, but you very likely wont receive the latest OTA update via system updates.
For that you'll need to download it (from here) and flash it through the stock recovery. Once you've done that you can use the instructions in this thread to re-flash clockworkmod recovery and re-root.
Your phone will still be S-OFF but you'll have a locked bootloader.
Still can't figure out what I need to do to root my phone. That's on hboot 1.45.0013
Guess I might have to wait til Revo find a fix for it.

Since you're S-OFF, you could flash ClockworkMod on the update and then flash a custom ROM, but I believe that would leave you with an old ROM and the new radio, which seems to have caused issues for people. Since there aren't yet any custom ROMs based on the latest update, you should probably stay where you are if you want a custom ROM. But if you do install the update, you would still be able to downgrade and get back to where you are now.
Wonder how long it will/could be before revo crack the current HBOOT

You could run this ROM, which is based on the latest OTA release from HTC, so no OTA updates are needed. It is optimized, deodexed, and tweaked just a tad. I use it as my daily driver with great success. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12063-devrom12192011-stock-12853110-r2-deodexed-crtgpu/

I think possibly we've been thru this before, lol, but that ROM isn't the very latest... there has been a pretty big update since then that thus far is only available as an official OTA update package.
I'm not able to post links so I've had to attach the images instead:
I have an HTC One XL - which I believe is from HK (when i reset to default, everything is in Chinese and the time/date is HK)
Since getting it in December, I've not been able to do a single update.
The software update gives me
update.png
after which i get this
fail1.jpg
So I've tried to bypass that and downloaded the OTA 4.1 rom and trying to flash gives me this
fail2.jpg
I also tried to do the RUU install and that failed too.
Any ideas?
I can't see your photos, they are coming up blank for me. But are you completely stock, or do you have custom recovery? Is your bootloader unlocked?
Phone needs to have stock recovery to install OTAs.
Bootloader needs to be LOCKED or RELOCKED to run RUU.

maybe:
- status 7 mean your TWRP or CWM not suitable with rom, need update newest version (happened to me, and after update CWM is ok.)
- make sure you phone unlocked bootloader already.
- your zip file is error during dowload, re-download.

I was under the impression that i needed to remove CWM...
bootloader is unlocked however if i try to open any of the zip files, they are corrupted, but it's the same wherever i download them from.

@banderz777 and @biga1, If you are S-Off you do not need to relock the bootloader. If you are S-On then you must relock the bootloader. You will need to flash your stock recovery to proceed with the OTA, then after it finishes you may flash back your TWRP recovery.

@ biga1 are you S-OFF or S-ON ?, or just try locking your bootloader and see, you do still have the unlock bin from HTC.
@Modding.MyMind I am S-OFF. I do NOT have my unlock bin from HTC anymore :crying:
The OTA is applying a lot of patches to your system directory. It is always recommended that you have all apps whether bloatware or not which originally came on the device to insure the OTA doesn't abort. If what the OTA is updating isn't found on your phone then it will terminate. You can get another unlock_code.bin by simply redoing the steps again over at htcdev.

I haven't accepted the update yet. Been reviewing the patches before I accept it. Also weary about the hboot image inside the firmware.zip that comes with the OTA. Not sure what affects it may have so I am snooping around a bit.

Just FYI, for anyone who doesn't have an external SD, make sure you don't try to use the Marshmallow recovery to install the update... It's missing the "Apply update from phone storage option". Flash the 5.0.1 recovery found in dottat's RUU, and you'll be able to apply it from the internal phone storage.

Also posted a stock nand you can move into your backup folder and "restore" after flashing the custom firmware zip.
I havent done this in a while, but I am S-off and TWRP, do we start with the "Custom firmware zip that includes all M firmware and TWRP 3.0.0.1 " ? to keep twrp? Or start at the beginning and flash from there?
(I have downloaded all the files. Hoping for MM to work better then lollipop on my M8 before I throw it down the street.)
Used the custom firmware and flashed it through hboot.
Worked like a charm.
Thank you.
Now just need to remove that red text.

Looks like there will be a little bit of debloating necessary in order to make our custom RUU. Also, since this one is meant for s-off users only i'm not going to include stock recovery. I will include TWRP. This will enable users to fix stuff remotely and be ready to flash immediately after.
I am tossing the OTA updater, the amazon crapware, htc speak.

Yes I know, you need an untouched System Image. Since you were rooted, uninstalling Magisk and becoming unrooted, it was still touched. Right now there is only one way to take OTA, that is downloading RUU.zip. Placing it on SDcard and booting to download mode. You will also need to have a 32Gb SDcard as mode will not see the zip. Once you are completely stock you can take the OTA.

You got a device with permanent S-OFF? Flashing back boot seams to work on those, but on S-ON/unlocked devices with temporary S-OFF another partition seems to get tempered and checkt later on during the OTA process. Don't know which on, but all S-ON devices, that had been unlocked and rooted up to now had to RUU back to take the OTA successfully. Applies to such fellow members as @LeeDroid as well. So I'm wondering what you did different to all those affected.

You got a device with permanent S-OFF? Flashing back boot seams to work on those, but on S-ON/unlocked devices with temporary S-OFF another partition seems to get tempered and checkt later on during the OTA process.

No I have a regular production device. Just like normal, I don't use Xposed and never mounted system RW so just flashing back the stock boot img worked fine for me...same as on previous devices. One other possibility is my device shows status official (sunshine does that), maybe the ota update is checking that.

Well that might be it. Will run sunshine and test again, as soon as I got time and restored the software state back to official.
Edit: hope I understood correctly. SunShine does temp S-OFF and set the flag back to official from modified in the same step, right @beaups!?

Cool beans. Thanks for this little heads-up and all the work done by you regarding SunShine and S-OFF!

When running Sunshine, is the Software changing from Modified to Official a temporary thing as well? Or lets say i run Sunshine once will it always display Official when booting to bootloader/Download mode?

Finally flashed an RUU. used this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/u12-plus/how-to/collection-htcu-u12-ruu-firmware-t3794664
post 3 number 1 (sd card method) must have <32gb micro sd. It wouldnt allow me to flash through USB. IDK why.
The RUU came from here

Thank you! Unfortunately my SD Card is 64GB so it isn't going to work...
