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.

Do I install the zip file using the twrp recovery?
Read the 1st post in the link +Tigerstown posted, it tells you precisely what to do.

VRUCML1 is the most recent baseband. You can flash full firmwares up to MF1, but only flash the ML1 baseband (or radio, modem.) They can all be found here as well as an explanation as to why you can flash only the radio on ML1:

Thank you for that. I read it once and didn't understand it. Read it again and made a little more sense of it. Came across this
1.) Install d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip
2.) Install d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip
Can I just use twrp to flash these? That is my current recovery.

Thank you for your assistance. On both threads. Now I just need to find a tether app to use.
A month ago I rooted the stock rom, S-OFF, and install TWRP. I tried another ROM, but it didn't really interest me. I realized, that I actually like the stock ROM.
However, now I want to install the 4.4.3 OTA update. Is that possible? If I follow the directions, the device reboots in to TWRP, but does not install the update.
How can I install the OTA update, if I have a custom recovery?

It appears it is impossible: http://teamw.in/officialota
I guess I will have to completely reflash.
First off, it's not impossible. There's a thread in here with firmware that you can use and update without the OTA. Second, this is the wrong sub-forum for questions.

I'm also trying to get to 4.4.3 but after trying to re install the old recovery, it tells me I can't do the OTA.
Jeez...if you guys have soff and twrp and whatnot just flash the stock rooted rom scott gave us. Simple as that. You'll find it here in the vzw one m8 android development section.
Or alternately, if you no longer require control of you device at the lowest levels then just flash dottats RUU and magically your phone will be 100% stock.
But yeah, wrong forum.

The reason to do the OTA, is because I am lazy. I don't feel like reinstalling all of my apps, etc. The OTA is a nice incremental upgrade.
Where can I find the stock recovery, and directions to flash back to it? It is my understanding, that if I do that, I can apply the OTA.
Hi just got this phone and need to update to 4.4.4 for roms to work it seems. Best way to flash the update? Is there a flashable one with TWRP or CMW?

I have an s-on ruu posted for 4.4.4 that doesnt wipe data. It's in exe form so it's very easy to run. After that flash your twrp and make a stock backup. Then flash away....
If we have s-off and are unlocked will it do any harm to just accept the ota from Verizon?

No harm at all provided you are on stock recovery and haven't modified system in any way.
Hi all
I have a verizon one m8 which runs stock 4.4.2 it is rooted, s-offed by sunshine and has TWRP recovery.
The LTE bands are open but when there is an available LTE network there are some network problems and many disconnections occur. (mainly when entering the LTE area)
I tried some various fixes but nothing worked so I want to update to a customized lollipop firmware.
I did search a -lot but didn't find what are the steps to update.
Can anyone guide or direct me please?
Huge Thanks
Parnuk
If you are just looking to update the firmware here is a link for you. If I were you I would consider a newer ROM to go along with the new firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159
thanks!
Some more questions please :
Can my current Rom run with this newer firmware?
Will it still be rooted?
What are the chances to get bricked
To get a newer Rom, should I wipe and then install it from twrp after the firmware update?
last one: this all has nothing to do with the recovery, right?
Sorry for the nooobity, it's all so different comparing to my old SGS

Great, the latest twrp didn't work on my current firmware.
I have an older one, can I update it after the rom?

You can but the chances of something going wrong are higher. Flash TWRP with fastboot, then firmware with fastboot, then ROM with TWRP is your best bet.
Anyone can suggest what upgrade I should choose and which one is more stable? I want to root my phone as well so if anyone with the official Marshmallow update can give me a good reason to upgrade from 5.0.2 I'd really appreciate it.
Besides sense 7 is there anything else to look forward to in Marshmallow for HTC?
Also anyone with the Marshmallow GPE Rom or Viper M8 please share your experiences with the roms.
For the first time I'm having trouble deciding what to flash on my E8 thanks to all the devs!
I tried everything, and - offical 6.0.1 is better choise. There is best camera. They really updated drivers or libs, i don't know. Stock ROM + custom kernel it's always good. All custom ROM's here is based on older firmwares.

How did you Root and get the custom kernel (without the system write protection) on Marshmallow? Same as how you'd do it on 5.0.x?
Yes, my 6.0.1 rooted, but custom kernel not exist this time. We waiting.

Would you please explain how to root your E8 6.0.1? I prefer to get just root without installing custom recovery, so I can backup stock recovery using flashify just in case for future OTA.
i dont know about way like this. In future u can extract stock recovery from OTA package, that u gonna receive. This always works.
I've flashed supersu 2.67 via recovery.

I received OTA and installed it directly. I forgot to backup the OTA file first so I don't have a chance anymore to extract the stock recovery. I tried to downgrade to 5.02 but always failed.

Downgrading is easy. You need to flash TWRP recovery via fastboot. Do not need full root. ERASE everying. The flash lollipop RUU via external SD.

I have M8SW and it is S-ON, it currently running BinDroid ONE V1.3.0 Android 4.4.4. I'm thinking about trying marshmallow ROM but I've read that is hard to downgrade to Kitkat once the firmware has been upgraded to higher version. But you said above it is easy to downgrade, can you please provide me with the steps to downgrade from marshmallow to kitkat rom. Thanks
