[Q] [Q7] Urgent Help. No Ota. Urgent Help. please help with this HTC One M7

I have an unlocked HTC One M7 currently running android 4.2.2 (2.24.401.9). I want to update it to latest version and it is not showing any OTA update. It says your phone has latest version which I know is not. I need to know how can I update it manually to 5.11.401.10 version. I got a tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 //: . But i am confused with numbers. I have one more doubt that is are the updates given on the page complete. So basically two questions.
1. Can i directly update from 2.24.401.9 to 5.11.401.10? Or i need to update intermediate versions too?
2. If I successfully updated to 5.11.401.10 from the link given, will my phone have the same capability and features as after official update to this firmware? Or, I need to do something else in addition to installing these files?
Also, please verify if the method on this page is correct? If not kindly link me a tutorial describing the exact process.
Thanks.
Hi, you don't need any other updates as the latest one will contain all previous fixes so just update directly. Also you should have the same features as before.
And the link should be fine
Hope I could help and good luck updating

About OTA updates now that root has been released.

Hey all,
I immediately blocked any OTA updates since I got my G4 in anticipation for root.
I have three questions
Do the AT&T OTA updates have that anti-rollback feature? I didn't see it confirmed in the thread regarding the anti-rollback but I'm not sure if the info is current.
Is the latest OTA for AT&T the 10g version? Should I enable OTA on my LG G4 now to get it prior to rooting?
Thanks.
So far as i know..no anti-rollback features..
As stated of some members here, latest ota updates doesn't affect rooting...for now

10g is the latest as of yesterday (before I rooted and blocked OTA). If you absolutely can't wait for root, then unfreeze the update apps and get the 10g OTA. If you're on 10e, there's a strong likelihood that you will softbrick your phone if you try to flash the rooted system.img (at least a couple people already did). If you can wait a couple of weeks, just hang tight and wait for codefire to release their one-click unroot since we still don't know about rolling back the bootloader or future unlockability of the 10g bootloader.
I'm on 10g and rooted. I have no intention of running a non stock rom on this device, so blocking updated with Tit back up now, removing bloat and coasting with what I've Got till we find out about a method for custom recoverys yet.
Could someone link me to the thread on how to disable the OTA function? I remember seeing it, but can't find it.

The AT&T D850 is TOT method only that's why there's no kdz at all. Only official lollipop you can get is to insert an AT&T sim.

You cannot update it with a tot file. As there's only KitKat. Your only way is to have an AT&T sim or root / custom rom. Or it might be possible to root and load the update file. Never done the img update file before but if it can be done it would be in the general section.

So is it possible to flash/ install a stock rom after rooting my device?
If yes, can you provide me with the link and some steps to follow.
I will be very thankful to you.

But is this a custom rom or stock rom?
How to install twrp recovery?
Even in future if any updates were released then i need to install either with sim card or flashing custom roms for my at&t model?
if you're going to go through the effort of rooting your phone you might as well install twrp which instructions you can find on these forums or even on twrp website I believe. the link clearly states that it is a stock rom. furthermore the guy was even nice enough to include his own instructions! what more could you ask for.
a little reading goes a long way. personally, I would vote to stick with a stock rom like the one linked above as it will be most stable and support all the features of the phone out of the box.
once a 6.0 rom is released for the d850 it will be real easy for you to wipe and flash that to upgrade again.

Rooting LG G5 on Android 7.0

Hello XDA Developers,
I've recently got an LG G5. I used to have the LG G2. Having said that, I dropped my G2 and the screen was damaged. T Mobile sent the LG G5 as a replacement.
I would like to root my LG G5. I just lack the know how on how to do it with Android Nougat 7.0
I'll be glad to hear from any of you.
Wish you well,
Paul
Would love root option for 7.0 since I need to get Titanium backup on it to recover some data. It seems it's not so easy to root G5 in general, all versions. G4 and below were so easy.

Use the following method to root on Android 7 with T-MOBILE:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/how-to/guide-root-twrp-lg-g5-using-t3580264
Or use this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/root-h830-running-30a-nougat-t3524322
Make sure you read the threads to downgrade to 20A first if you're on anything later than that before you can actually follow those guides to root and get TWRP.
How do you know if you have 20A or 20C? I appreciate the links to help root my g5. I've attached my About phone info if that would help.

You're on 20f. It's the last three characters of the software version.

SuperNu,
Thank you for your help in determining which software I have. Why did LG make it so challenging to root this phone?

If it says invalid kdz file check that md5 of downloaded kdz is same as what is posted on the thread with the kdz, if not re-download it. Otherwise try using uppercut to flash it (search main g5 XDA fourm for uppercut thread).

I'm confused about your post.. There is NO kdz for the D850.. Also theres already a guide in the general section. The D850 uses tot files and in which there is no MM tot. I think you may be thinking of the D850PR which those files are already in my guide and in which there is risk by downgrading/upgrading a D850 to a D850PR.
So you may want to change the title to D850PR if you keep this thread.

Stock Marshmallow Firmware For LG G3 D850

And that's why i created a new thread which contains marshmallow firmware and everything related to it

Yeah but it's D850PR firmware not D850. Which can cause issues for some people if flashed on a D850.
Is it rootable? I didn't think the D850 had root unless you downgraded to kitkat to root? (Sorry haven't really kept up with root)

How is it fixable if MM is not rootable? Where you able to successfully flash back to the D850 KitKat firmware? as normally it causes issues with flashtool when changing around models. But you should really mention that its D850PR firmware so those don't get confused as its not an AT&T D850 firmware.

Yes I know its stock unmodified its a kdz I already had the kdz. But looking around MM 6.0 is not rootable on the D850 thats what I was saying, Only way to root is if you downgrade to KitKat. Unless MM is rootable for the D850PR. But it doesnt seem so. I don't have a D850 anymore to test it.

I Mentioned It In The Thread That It Is D850PR (Edited) .
And There Are Other Threads For Going Back To Kitkat From Marshmallow . So You Can Search It On XDA Because I Cannot Explain Everything In A Single Thread ???

I don't think you read my post correctly, Yes I know how to go back to stock, I created the guide for it years ago What I am saying is you cant fix the cust_error without root and MM 6.0 doesn't seem rootable.

Hopefully it can be, would be great! Just saying the D850 MM still cannot be rooted to this day. Hopefully there will be some more testers soon. Wish the PR firmware was around back when I had my G3 when it came out
