Hey guys,
I'm relatively new to playing with Android roms, and currently have a HTC Sensation.
I've worked out the kernel that I want to use (SebastianFM Overclocked kernal), the rom that I want to use (AndroidRevolta - slimmed down Virtuous Inquisition) but I wondering about the firmware. My phone is current unrooted, running stock ICS. Do I need to upgrade the firmware before I can flash this rom?
Thanks
to install another rom firstly you have to be rooted
secondly if you want to flash a firmware manually you have to be S-OFF
now about the rom you want to use i think as far as i know requires the latest firmware

Yeah, I know that it needs to be rooted first.
I've just seen things that say you need the latest firmware to run ICS, and I wasn't sure if that came with the offical ICS update.

Yes. Firmware is updated with latest ICS update.
If you have latest ICS update then you dont need to flash firmware again.

Is the firmware flash only for phones that don't have an offical ICS update?
So I can just root, install CWM and flash kernal and rom?
Is there anyway to integrate the OTA zip into the stock firmware zip?

Ota patches a lot of system files despite a little size
So, if someone makes flashable zip it will look like a ROM based on stock 4.4.2
I doubt if somebody will do this
I would say make yourself a flashable zip with recovery.
Install Stock patch it to latest update, Backup.......voila.

Here is your Stock recovery 5.11.401.10
Put this recovery to adb folder and then hit this command from fastboot: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

A few questions...is this based off of the stock OTA for the international or developer edition of the M7? And if so, does the AT&T edition (which is what I have) use the same base for their stock ROM? I'm currently on ARHD 71.1 and waiting patiently for an update to 4.4.3, but also am wondering if I should wait for the official OTA from AT&T, so that I can get the firmware meant for my phone, before upgrading to 4.4.3, which is what I did with 4.4.2, before flashing ARHD. Also, do you know if the stock recovery you attached above is the same one that would be on a stock AT&T M7? I've been trying to be careful and only receive the firmwares officially through OTA, before flashing a custom ROM based on a base that's compatible with my M7, but I'm wondering if I'm being too careful. I also have 3 different stock recoveries for my M7, but am not sure which is the most current and for the version of the M7 that I have, in conjunction with the ROM base, or if that matters. Sorry for being so inquisitive.

Yes, this is based on Stock WWE firmware.
*And if so, does the AT&T edition (which is what I have) use the same base for their stock ROM?
I am not sure about the base. but yes, AT&T may be using the same base and adding their own features on top of that! or may be HTC make separate software build for that.

What I recommend: wait for the official upgrade from your AT&T carrier so that you don't put yourself in any trap!
Regarding your firmware doubt: No, my attached file was only for new software 6.09.401.5 which is Android 4.4.3
If you want to receive update officially flash the stock recovery from here: HTC One Stock Recoveries

Guys, previously by mistake I posted a recovery for latest firmware: 6.09.401.5, which was latest.
But If you're on Android 4.4.2 then you need recovery for 5.11.401.10(or according to your software version) so that your stock OTA can be flashed.. sorry for inconvenience.
All recoveries are found from here: HTC One Stock Recoveries

Hi Artur,
Could you make a STOCK ROM based on the latest firmware 6.09.401.10 ?
Hello? Yes, I'm a noob. I tried to read and understand, but was not able to.
I have bootloader unlocked and rooted 4.4.2 stock in my m8.
I want to install the 4.4.3 roms.
My simple question would be what are the steps to get 4.4.3 radio? installed
wait to make it clear you only want the radio of 4.4.3 or the whole rom ?
but if you want to install the rom you need to have sometype of custom recovery after you installed that (you can do it through rom manager app on google play)
after that choose your rom that you wanted to install and then just flash it using the custom recovery

You didn't mention your carrier, but essentially you want to update to the latest firmware first, then flash a 4.3 ROM. To get to the latest firmware you either take an OTA from your carrier, which requires being completely stock with stock recovery and no changes to system, or flash a firmware file that someone has extracted from the OTA package. The latter is imo easier if you are already on a custom recovery. The development forum for your carrier likely has a post dedicated to updating firmware.

Go to link i posted to get your vzw firmware up to date. An fyi when you said radios you meant firmware an the radios is inside the firmware zip. After you update firmware you can flash 4.4.3 ROMs.

Well, OP says "All of these ROMs will get future OTA updates as released by Motorola."
