I have an HTC One M8 on Tmobile. I rooted it about a week ago not knowing the lollipop update would come out today. Now when i try to install the update it obviously fails. How can i update with the ota software. I don't care if i lose root in the process, I just want to install the update.
Should be able to unroot with super user and then take the ota, better yet would be to flash a custom rom.

Hello, I am running the stock ROM on the HTC Sensation XE.
I have rooted, but there is an update available, can I update through the system update that HTC put on the ROM? If I do could I brick/loose ROM.
PS. I am unlocked and S-ON.
If you are running GB now and updating to ICS possibly.
I was running the stock TMO US GB (S-off and rooted) and tried the official OTA update to ICS. The update applied, but the bootloader got stuck after the reboot. Had to reflash the stock TMO US 1.50 RUU to a non-rooted state, then I was able to successfully apply the HTC update of ICS.
Have RUU of the rom you have now to get back in case your update doesn't work out as planned.
I am on ICS already. Version 4.03.
There is a software update available, I want to know if I can do this without the phone ****ing up basically.
Just clicked on details and seen that it's a settings update. Just for settings only. Anyway, have decided to give it a go, lets see how it goes.
As I've found lots of bugs in the OTA Jelly Bean update, HTC recommended me to send my phone to the service center.
I can't be without my phone and God knows what they'll do over there, so my question is:
Is it possible to re-install the OTA update?
No Root, no unlocked bootloader, purely stock.
Hello,
How does the upcoming OTA update (4.3) affect people with unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs? I am new to this and this will be my first OTA update since rooting/unlocking.
Will I even get a notification requesting to update, or will it force me to update? And which should I choose? Will I have to re-root the phone after the update? Or can I even get the OTA update since it is rooted?
Sorry, I have a ton of questions, so if someone can just explain what is going to happen and what our choices are that would be great!
Thanks in advance!!!

I'll try to answer a few

It seems like the ota is delayed but who knows..
If you want to stay unlocked and rooted don't take the ota until a respected developer says otherwise.
You may or may not get a notification depending on your ROM or other system tweaks. If you are rooted only, you provably will.

The OTA will note affect you at all, you will not even be prompted for it due to running a custom ROM.
If your running a stock rom and have only rooted/unlocked, an OTA will break root and relock your bootloader.
If your running a stock rom/unlocked/and a custom recovery, you'll get prompted for the OTA, but it will not install, it will fail due to the custom recovery (twrp/cwm/etc).
You'll need to Odin to stock to receive an official OTA, but remember there is always a risk of an OTA breaking root permanently....
My advice is to stay custom, and flash a rooted custom stock rom that will surely be appearing here within a day or two of the OTA... But Verizon will probably not release 4.3 to us, and if they do it'll be at least 4 months...
I just received an OTA update on AT&T G2 to version D80020y. Thing is earlier I had a root but some how the update went through with the installation without a hassle. I can't remember where I downloaded the root from. Could you guys suggest a good rooting process which will allow me to install OTA updates in the future also.
Thanks in advance.

Do you still have root? Any thing different you noticed after the OTA?

Having root and allowing OTA updates is a recipe for disaster. You're better off waiting for someone to post an update here in the forums that works with root or be certain that the update doesn't break root.

This thing doesn't get updated on the forums, that's the problem. I've asked for the 20u stock system folder from someone rooted on that version and no one has responded. The last version we have here is 20k stock rooted. I'm still waiting. Now I'd like to get my hands on an unmodified stock 20y I'll have to wait forever to NOT get.
I blocked OTA updates after I was automatically updated to H81010g. I was holding out to see if some bootloader unlock method came and have decided to quit waiting. I'm hesitant to go to MM since there tends to be bugs on the first pass. If I unblock OTA's will it step through the updates in between 10g and MM? I was hoping I could stop it at the last update prior to MM so I can root and wait to see how MM pans out. Is this possible? And what is the last software version prior to MM that I should stop at?
Normally OTAs will step through. 10o is the last update version before MM.
I unblocked the update files so I could update. I went into about phone and checked for updates and it started a download. I noticed it was 971mb which meant it was the Marshmallow update so I immediately blocked the updater files with the debloater to stop the update.
I'm on 10g and really only wanted to go to 10o and stop. Is there any way to get the rest of the KitKat updates through 10o? I'm assuming that if I unblock again and let it do FOTA updates on it's own that it will jump straight to the Marshmallow update again? I'm not ready to take my chances with potential bugs on Marshmallow and also to lose the ability to root.
