[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Firmware controls things like your cell radio, WiFi, Bluetooth and bootloader, it is not in my experience necessary to upgrade firmware e.g I have never upgraded my firmware since I received my HTC one when it was supplied (with stock jellybean) since then I have used all versions of ARHD from 41 to 71.1 (excluding 62 as it was a port I preffered to wait for official release).

If you flash a Rom and find your WiFi or cell signal becomes poor then you may need to update your firmware to improve signal. But if it works leave it alone.

Since you need s-off to flash firmware it carries a high risk of bricking your device if something goes wrong. This is something that has been happening a lot lately if you search the firmware threads you'll find plenty of examples of people who have bricked their phones trying to flash firmware.

Personally if I ever need to update firmware I would take the safest route. Which is to return Rom and recovery to stock this way you can get OTA update which will update firmware with out the need to s-off your device. It's the long way round but much safer in my opinion. :)

The only thing I've seen on this phone is weirdness in recovery--inability to install certain ROMs or kernels, with weird bugs around rebooting or some data not being able to be installed. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but it happened. On Samsung phones and some HTC phones (not this one, I think), if the firmware doesn't match the OS (a library called the RIL), the phone won't fully work (for example, no audio in phone calls). There is also another type of firmware, like the camera drivers. I don't know whether this is part of a normal RUU, but phones of the same model can have different camera chips and need different drivers. I know because when I sent mine for repair, they had to re-image it for the drivers for the new camera (they actually asked me before re-locking it and removing its s-off! :D).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Hehe :) no problem, it confused me a bit because you and I seem to be the regular helpers in this thread. I like how we can sometimes give different answers to the same question. Not wrong just diffrent it's good because I sometimes learn something new as well.

By the way I tested your theory that manually flashing boot.img is no longer necessary and you are correct. This seems to have been solved with th introduction of the Aroma installer. S-on does still prevent recovery from flashing boot.img, but since it is now handled by the Aroma installer it works ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Strange. On my phone, I was able to boot into recovery and run two commands to backup and restore this partition:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p33 of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p33

It worked fine. Note that a "fastboot flash" will never work in recovery, because recovery isn't fastboot. What I executed is basically the same thing. And my phone still booted afterwards. :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Interesting, and your phone is s-on? And this command makes the same flash as if you installed from a zip that does not use aroma?

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

ok I found this here :- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752270

Do I need to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot?:

No, if you're using TWRP and are on a Hboot-version lower than 1.13

Yes, if you're using any other recovery (like CWM)

Yes, if you're using TWRP and your ville has the Hboot-version 1.13 or higher

:)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Yep, S-On. And the command should be approximately the same as what's used by the binary-installer (or whatever it's called) in .zip installers. And that web page is very old. In fact, it's older than this phone! :P
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Guess that settles it then it's no longer a requirement with or without Aroma, thanks :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coder32:
Hi! I am still in doubt about unlocking a bootloader and rooting. I have just rooted my phone,does that mean that it has also unlocked my bootloader?

What if I unroot? There is an unroot feature on vroot.

Will I still get OTA updates after I unroot my device?

I had recently uninstalled few system apps (replaced it of course ) and now from few days am trying to get them back and then unroot only to get OTA updates (The phone I am using is getting kitkat 4.4)

Does that means that I have already lost my warranty?

Your reply can save lots of my time.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yes you will need to install HTC Sync for the drivers but you can uninstall htc sync software after drivers are installed and working.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Fastboot is required for flashing recovery. There are Apps on the play store that can flash recovery but I've never used them to flash stock.img don't see why it won't work though. Rom toolbox from play store is best option.

Download and install the app and launch it. Select Rom installer. Wait for list to load then swipe left to right on screen. It should drag out a menu. Select flash recovery on the next screen select 3dot menu top right. And select install from sd card. Find and flash your stock recovery.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scorpunk:
Well if this is still going on.. Why not.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread but I couldn't find anything on any other forum.

So here's my "Problem"

I've unlocked the bootloader on my Htc One. Haven't done anything with it really. When i start up in recovery it says:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

The problem is: Yesterday I got the new Android update and for some reason I'm not able to install this. I downloaded it, but when I say install, the device powers down and for some reason starts up in Recovery mode. And in can't find a way to install the update.

Anyone familiar with this problem?

HTC One KitKat Upgrade? (France, Orange)

Hi everyone,

Beginner here. I have an HTC One (from Orange, a carrier in France) and my phone is still running Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5.

I'm not sure why I haven't gotten any update yet. I read online that it was released in Europe, including France (but can't be sure because there's not a lot of precise info on the internet about Android updates according to carriers in France).

So, I wanted to ask if anyone over here knew anything about the issue. Would rooting my phone allow me to get KitKat and Sense 6?

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
I don't think you can install the OTA because either your recovery isn't the stock recovery, or your phone was rooted and doesn't contain all of the files that are supposed to be updated. Your best bet is to install a custom ROM, or to attain S-Off and re-image your system to be like new. (The latter course is riskier.)

Yes. Technically, unlocking your bootloader is what would allow you to install custom and newer versions of Android. Rooting is more like a side-effect of this process.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuSiCh:
Sense 6.0?

Would I also be able to install Sense 6.0 if I rooted the phone?

Also, is there a specific rooting method for phones bought in France?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scorpunk:
Yeah, I attempt to Root the device (by the videos here on Xda), but when I did the Rootchecker it showed that the phone wasn't rooted at all. I guess i did something wrong in the process. I didn't attempt a second try because for some reason it was hard to do with a MacBook. Lost connections with the MacBook and vice verse, lost apps, lost contacts (got them all back but took me more then 3 days instead of, I don't know, 20 minutes?) Guess I should've said that in the first place...

So my options are:

A) Do the Root again, but then properly? (will I be able to do the OTA then?)

B) Don't bother and carry on with the current Android version?

Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Just to clarify, the screen that shows you tampered unlocked is not recovery, this is the bootloader screen and should not effect installing OTA.

So do you still have stock recovery and stock rom? As long as all software is stock it should install ok. If we are talking about official OTA.

If you phone is still stock you should get ota no problem. So same question as above do you still have stock recovery? since you asked about rooting I'll assume you are running stock Rom.

But yes if you have or flash a custom recovery you can root you phone and update to kitkat yourself by installing a kit Kat Rom with sense 6 from recovery mode. You will be required to wipe all your data and system so it's worth making some backups first.

Edit:- sorry didn't see fenstre had already replied till after refresh
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuSiCh:
I haven't done anything to it yet. So I guess that means it is "stock ROM". (If I understand you and that term correctly.) Wish I could get an OTA update but after so long and with 4.4.3 approaching it just seems very odd that I'm still stuck on 4.3 and the OTA tell's me that there are no new updates.

Also, in order to root my phone, I noticed that I need "drivers". Are these drivers specific to my carrier? If so, where could I find drivers for Orange-France?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
The drivers for HTC one are installed with HTCSync if you have it installed you should have the drivers. You will also need adb/fastboot if you don't already. Fastboot is required to flash a custom recovery.

If you use twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery this will root the device for you. After that all you need to do is decide which kit Kat Rom you want download it to your internal (sd card) storage and install from recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
You've had some strange problems. I suggest trying again. If the failure was in installing Android Revolution HD, I may have a suggestion on how to make it work. Also, if you should be rooted but aren't, try installing SuperSU instead of SuperUser. Or just update it, by using recovery to flash the .zip from this thread.

Yes, many new ROMs have Sense 6. And no, as long as your model is the m7u or m7ul. (It probably is.)

Another solution is to contact HTC support. They should get your phone updated, and if you don't want to root, you shouldn't root. Because it can be a pain to get back to a pure stock OS if you want to later. (But if you are even a little tempted to root, do it!) But as for drivers, no, they aren't specific to the carrier. On Linux and OSX, the same drivers have worked for all my Android phones (three brands). I don't know about Windows.

You can't install ota on a modified phone. Having the bootloader unlocked is fine but recovery and Rom must be stock and unrooted for ota to install.

Other option is to find a stock nandroid @ www.htc1guru.com if you want to keep it stock.

Have you tried wipeing data and cache obviously you will lose all data (same for the other options) but may get the phone booting.

S-off methods are different for different versions of hboot the newer the hboot the more difficult to get s-off. So having taken OTA update you haven't done yourself any favors as it would have updated you to the latest hboot.

You can check your hboot version in your bootloader and Google for s-off methods regarding it. But be aware making your device s-off carries a high chance of bricking if you don't know what your doing so tread carefully.
