But I do not want recovery my device..
you cannot root a lollipop rom, you have to downgrade to KK, root it then upgrade again to a rooted lollipop rom, only way it via a flashable zip that can only be installed by using one of the 2 recoveries
why don't you want a recovery?

Not true. If you keep the locked bootloader and install a recovery you can still get official updates. But you will lose root, however you will always lose root of you officially update regardless of if you have recovery of not
Yes, but to apply the update you need a stock recovery.

I still do not want recovery .. it does not work as good like the original version ..
A root and a custom recovery is good to backup and most important : RESTORE a working version of the ROM in case of a soft brick.
But it is your choice.

I still prefer only root .. my old phone (Xperia s) made it only root .. no recovery or things like that .. This is the most recommended in my opinion but I do not know when in the new version of z3 came out with only root .. I'm really looking forward to it

Download this full stock firmware http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111254196 then use Odin to flash, once done take the OTA and it should be fine. BTW, once upgrade to 4.3 your bootloader will be locked permanently meaning you can't flash custom firmware (rom/kernel/recovery), the only thing you can do is root with saferoot. can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758

If you still want to install custom firmware then DO NOT TAKE THE 4.3 OTA UPGRADE. If you decided to flash custom rom then after flash stock MF1, you need to unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery then flash custom rom (most custom rom already rooted so you probably don't need to root). Your phone status will be CUSTOM.

Haviing only used Odin when I initially rooted my phone a year ago, I need to ask some specifics on your instructions.
1. Do I boot the phone into Download mode when flashing?
2. Do I flash it by selecting the PDA box and selecting the file there?
3. This will make my phone basically "out of the box" and back to stock recovery, correct?
Thanks in advance.

The stock root rom is probably the most stable one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591895 just follow the instruction on this link.

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.

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
hi everyone so this may be a stupid question however I wonder, there will be probably soon an update to marshmallow and i'm willing to update mine rooted lollipop rom.
would it be better if I unroot it by flashing my stock rom with flashfire and then update or wouldn't it be a problem if I update my rooted phone with the Ota?

Flashing stock with flashfire is more risky than applying OTA on a rooted phone. The best would be to wait for a kdz image of V20a/6.01, flash over the phone wiping all data.

Rename ur unrooted system img to rootedsystem.img and then flash it using download mode (theres a few threads showing you how to do this i done it and it worked for me and i dont like taking risks but ive done it alot times) after that put it on ur phone and flash it the same way u flashed root it worked for me 5 times and i dont like taking risks and your phone goes back to stock without deleting data or any information
