[Q] Restore/Un-Root to take OTA - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I know this might sound dumb to some people, but I am trying to unroot and go back to stock, I have looked at alot of the tutorials on how to revert to stock, I have tried doing a complete unroot in Superuser then putting the 0P6BIMG.zip into my SC Card and letting the bootloader reload it but it ALWAYS come back with root.
Any idea's would be great. Don't have a good reason as to why other than I don't need root and would prefer to get OTAs from Verizon/HTC
Thanks in advance,
Nick

If you are talking about my ruu, that will take any future ota updates just fine as long as you 1) don't change any system files and 2) don't flash custom recovery.
Root alone will NOT make you fail otas...not on htc...

Okay, I thought I had missed an OTA, but the RUU seemed to be updated to it already. I will post a SS when I get Tapatalk installed

The ruu I have posted is the latest. I didn't bother to make one for the release os version as they had some really annoying bugs (like phones that were stuck in roam from day 1) etc.
Run the ruu and you will update fine whenever they release one. Afterwards you can flash my twrp I have posted in my ruu thread (or recovery of your choosing) and then re flash superuser.zip to reroot .. I suggest using flashify app to backup your stock recovery to your so card after the ruu ..it will let you flash back to stock recovery whenever you need to take an ota

Yes if you flash a stock image and kernal via Odin you will be back locked up,
Last line of the fore mentioned guide,
Step 10: Reboot! (You should now be booted into factory stock, LOCKED, and bloated ICS 4.0.4)

What if i just flash the image and not the kernel? (image in photo) it will still lock it right??

Yes flashing just the stock rom.tar will lock the bootloader...the stock kernel is there to remedy folks who got the verizon screen of death from flashing custom software witb a locked bootloader...it does not take but a extra minute to flash, so you might aswell just flash it to ensure a clean install. Im constantly trying different methods with odin and flashing back to stock. So dont be suprised if my guide is constantly changing. Were still early in development right now. No method is set in stone and things will continue to change.

Dear all,
When I try to update the rom I always get these screens. What is going wrong? Ihave unlocked the device, rooted it and then tried to install recovery. Worked once but then I got this error message
That's the stock recovery. Since you unlocked your device, I assume you want to install a custom recovery and then a custom ROM - what exactly were you trying to do?
Note that installing a complete Asus firmware overwrites your custom recovery, so you must reinstall a custom recovery after flashing a complete Asus firmware.

Well we're trying to help!
You need to have a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP installed.
Otherwise you will always see the stock recovery screen...
Do you know how to get a custom recovery on your tablet?
Have you read any of the stickied posts at the top of the general section?
What is the current state of your device?
Here try the link below. It should install the custom recovery for you. Assuming you have windows it should work. Its a tool I made for my self I hope helps or fixes your problem. This install twrp recovery and is only for Asus TF700t.

Rooting Problem!

Hi all, having a problem rooting my inspire 4g, when in Fastboot , it shows the phone is S-OFF but I have no root access.
I used the root checker app, and it says that my device is not rooted. I then used EasyAceRootTool, but when I select to root
my device, it says that ''the hboot needs to be updated'' and it then starts a download from HTCDEV. I have tried using this software
several times but my device is still not rooted.

I think it may also be worth mentioning that it was previously rooted but, got stuck on the white HTC screen and I had to flash the stock kernel
If someone could help me out would really really apricate it, as it has me pulling my hair out
thanks

Kenneth, if you are already S-OFF unlocking the bootlader will remove that. You just need to flash SU in CWM recovery and flash CWM first if you don't have a custom recovery. Choose flash CWM in the tool and then SU...you should be fine after that.

Oh and, I have CF Auto Root and I use only Titanium Backup if that matter.
You must be 100% stock, unrooted to accept the update.
fastboot flash stock system.img then re-root.

Even unrooted stock devices. And I'm 100% stock rooted.
With fastboot flash system.img you don't lose anything of your data, only root.

Then flash a custom 5.0.1 rom with a custom recovery or you can never update BTW the update from 4.4.4 to 5.0(.1) is quite big so a full wipe after the flash is required or you`ll have fc`s all over the board.

I suppose you're not really familiar with this. Your data is not stored in /system. fastboot flashing a system.img only installs to /system. Only fastboot flashing userdata.img would overwrite your data, which you may note that I did not advise you to do.
Have a read of the "adb and fastboot" thread in General > Sticky roll-up

Unable to update software(brand new pgone(

hello there!
Finally joining the HTC bandwagon here
I've got myself a new HTC u 11+ and just started using it last friday.My friend helped me to buy itdirectly from the HTC Taiwan.
The phone started and launched breezily, no issues and most of my apps has been updated but there's a pop up notification to install the latest system.
I have tried numerous of times downloading it, it did, and clicked install now. Everytime I install, it's shows the progress of the updating and soon the screen went black and HTC logo appeared and a text appeared shortly on a black screen and within few secs it directed twrp recovery. I have to reboot the system on that twrp to get back to my phone mode.
Hence never got updated and the pop up reminder is still there ..
HTC support system not responding to my problem
*A famous youtuber(shaanhaider) guided me to check if it's rooted via app, apparently it's not rooted.
*tried to put in safe mode and update,still nothing changes.
What should I do?
If you have a custom recovery installed, you will not be able to install official updates. You need to restore to stock condition.

twrp is custom recovery, not stock. You can try to flash the stock recovery corresponding to Your firmware through fastboot. However, this may not be enough. The update will still fail to install if there have been changes to the systems section. In this case you will have to flash full RUU corresponding to Your current firmware.
